2. 🕵️♂️ Mine's Mission: Eliminating Munakata and Hamazaki's Importance
· Mine's appearance in Kamurocho seems to be due to a mission for the Daidoji Faction. Daidoji agents are prohibited from appearing in familiar places for personal reasons.
· The 'certain job' Mine proposed to Hamazaki is likely a scheme to oust Munakata.
· Munakata is the individual who established the Okinawa Second Penitentiary after 2009, and is considered a dangerous person to be eliminated by the Daidoji Faction.
· Hamazaki possessed crucial information about Munakata's slush funds and the establishment of the Okinawa Second Penitentiary, making him an essential key player for Daidoji.
· In particular, Hamazaki knew about the 'Heishian Confidential Plan' file kept in the Okinawa Second Penitentiary warden's office. This file contains evidence of Munakata's corruption and the truth behind Jingu's 10 billion yen incident, which would be decisive evidence to ruin Munakata.
· These changes in the Kiwami 3 ending could be a setup to naturally introduce the Daidoji Faction in a future 'Yakuza 4' remake.

3. ⚔️ Proving the Antagonistic Relationship Between the Daidoji Faction and Munakata
· Munakata attempted to use 10 billion yen from a backroom deal with Jingu to fund the establishment of the Okinawa Second Penitentiary. Therefore, Munakata and Jingu were in a cooperative relationship.
· It is highly probable that the Daidoji Faction was antagonistic towards Jingu.
· Jingu tried to abandon the Tojo Clan and form a cooperative relationship with the Omi Alliance. This would pose a significant threat to the Yomei Alliance (an organization created to protect Daidoji's secrets), which is a critical vulnerability for the Daidoji Faction.
· If Jingu had been a member of the Daidoji Faction, he would not have pursued cooperation with the Omi Alliance, which threatened the Yomei Alliance.
· Therefore, the Daidoji Faction and Jingu are in an antagonistic relationship, which implies that the Daidoji Faction and Munakata are also in an antagonistic relationship.
· In a 'Yakuza 4' remake, it is expected that the Daidoji Faction will be secretly working to eliminate Munakata.
· It is highly probable that the Daidoji Faction was antagonistic towards Jingu.

4. 🤝 Why Mine Obeys Daidoji's Orders: Shadow Protection for Daigo
· Mine swore to live for Daigo, so his willing obedience to the Daidoji Faction's orders might seem puzzling.
· However, Mine's compliance with the Daidoji Faction's orders is because their interests align for the time being.
· The Daidoji Faction wants Munakata's downfall, and Munakata was someone who tried to seize control of the Tojo Clan.
· Munakata's downfall would prevent a crisis for the Tojo Clan, which in turn would save Daigo, who is struggling as the Tojo Clan chairman.
· It appears Mine is determined to protect Daigo from the shadows by eliminating Munakata as a Daidoji agent.
