* JerkassHasAPoint: Right before the final battle, Kiryu mentions that multiple civilians had been used by Shibusawa (and the other lieutenants) as pawns in a battle for the Empty Lot, putting them in danger and leading directly to two of their deaths. However, Shibusawa makes a reasonable point in return; that Kazama, who Kiryu idolises, was ''also'' perfectly comfortable with this happening, and as "the man who writes the script" would have been well aware of it. Notably, Kiryu doesn't realy have a coherent response to this.

By watching Kiryu's face when the three lieutenants are dressing him down over the murder of Kurihara, Kuze can tell right away that Kiryu's genuinely not responsible for shooting him and has no idea who was, nor does he remotely understand the significance of The Empty Lot. Unfortunately, as he notes, that doesn't solve the main problem Kurihara's death presents. Even more unfortunate, this perception doesn't extend to his devious fellow lieutenants.
