** Well, since Haruka's idol career tanked ''hard'' after the events of ''Yakuza 5'', it's possible that - though some nods of her time as an idol still exist through the form of a figure of her in ''VideoGame/{{Judgment}}'' (set in 2018) and as DLC outfits for Saeko and Eri (set a year later in 2019) - her agency effectively discontinued any of her merchandise to distance themselves as far away from the bad PR and, [[VideoGame/Yakuza6 obviously]], Haruka wasn't around to record any new music. Also take into consideration the four year gap between ''Y5'' and ''Y6'', as well as that of ''Y5'' and ''[=LaD=]'' (seven years). So the best possible reason could be that virtually ''anything'' related to Haruka is (very possibly) a ''very'' expensive collector's item that's difficult to come by.

** Also, Masato was placed into the locker essentially to die out of sight, while Ichiban's parents very much wanted him to live. Ichiban may have been more carefully bundled up, allowing him to withstand the cold for longer.

** Ichiban is also, as evidenced by the turn-based combat allowing him to get slugged in ''every'' fight he's in -- something that the beginning of the game makes clear is something he actually does in reality -- [[MadeOfIron a tough son of a bitch]]. Shrugging off the same conditions that crippled Masato even as an infant is evidence that of the two of them, Ichiban is simply better prepared to take the hits life deals out and rebound from them to greater heights. If it had been Ichiban that Kume stabbed in the end, he might have survived the injury not unlike Kiryu had in prior circumstances. Ultimately, Masato was too frail, only living to adulthood because of the actions of others who protected him, and went down easily in the end because of that frailty, no matter how much he'd grown sicne.

* Speaking of, how is it that 2 babies, Arakawa Masato and Ichiban Kasuga, where both dumped and found inside the coin locker at the same time, but one got multiple organ failures due to hypothermia and lack of oxygen and the other one came out fine?

** Time. Every amount of context informs us that Ichiban was simply in that locker for a shorter time frame than Masato was (We don't know how long Sawashiro and his lover waited before going back, and Ichiban was almost certainly placed in the locker after they left for the first time). The doctors outright told Masumi that had he gotten Masato to the hospital 5 minutes sooner then the complications from the hypothermia could've been avoided. Ichiban was just fortunate that he was retrieved asap.

** Also, keep the timeline of the two in mind: by the time Ichiban joins the Arakawa family, it’s highly likely Kiryu was already in prison for murder, and Ichiban would be locked up by the time Kiryu got out. It’s straight up possible he could have never met the guy.

** I think he's actually planning it all out terryifingly fast and accurately. Then he just orders his allies to do as he imagined it to ensure victory. But even I don't know about how it works in the substories
