In a world dominated by humor and melodrama, SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s highly-anticipated action JRPG, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, has enlisted the help of popular Southeast Asian streamers, Pichayut “Gssspotted” Sittipun and Myrtle Sarrosa, to spread the word about this laugh-out-loud game. Released on November 8, this title promises to be one of the biggest games of the year.
Gssspotted’s Epic Quest for Redemption
Let’s begin with the extraordinary streamer, Gssspotted, who takes on the role of an action hero in his real-life adventure. His mission? To avenge the theft of his cherished Like a Dragon game, snatched away by a high school bully from his childhood. Gssspotted transforms into a hitman, undergoing intense training reminiscent of classic RPGs. From grueling gym workouts to entertaining karaoke interludes, he levels up his combat skills by pummeling a heavy bag. This character evolution is filled with hilarious detours and over-the-top antics.
The pinnacle of Gssspotted’s transformation is marked by a trainer sliding sunglasses onto his face, as if equipping him with a legendary accessory. You can almost hear the level-up chime in the background. The climactic showdown with his high school nemesis is not just a battle; it’s an epic brawl of monumental proportions. The combat sequences are finely tuned, resembling a boss battle in a game, complete with bone-crunching punches and over-the-top special moves.
Just when Gssspotted believes he has triumphed, his beloved game shatters into pieces, delivering a cruel twist. However, as if by divine intervention, a brand-new Like a Dragon game is released, ensuring that Gssspotted’s gaming marathon never has to end.

Myrtle’s Dazzling Misadventure
Now, let’s shift our focus to the enchanting Myrtle Sarrosa, a Filipino actress and cosplayer embarking on a fantastical journey that rivals Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole. Her quest begins with a dramatic confrontation with enigmatic figures donning Oni masks, reminiscent of a scene from a fantasy adventure RPG.
Myrtle fearlessly challenges these adversaries, exuding an influential presence akin to our favorite anime heroes ready to face their most formidable rivals. When her dragon tattoo is revealed, symbolizing extraordinary strength, we realize that the impending battle will be far more intense than anticipated.
The ensuing combat sequences are a visual feast, showcasing moves that would make Neo from The Matrix envious. Finally, we witness an epic boss battle with combo punches and special effects that rival Hollywood’s greatest blockbusters.
Myrtle’s journey takes a surreal turn as she experiences a flashback, unveiling a backstory more elaborate than a multi-season Netflix series. Hidden lore of the game world is uncovered, adding layers of complexity to the story.
In the climax, Myrtle unleashes moves that are not only jaw-dropping but so awe-inspiring that they feel like cutscenes from the game itself. The seamless blend of reality and fantasy creates an illusion of watching the latest AAA game.
The story concludes with Myrtle being transported back to her gaming domain, completely engrossed in the Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name universe.
