The original Judgment was my game of the year in 2019, but with its standalone nature largely solving the internal struggle of its protagonist Yagami, I felt like last year's Lost Judgment was left searching for that human anchor to ground the wild events of its plot. Well, after playing through the recently released Kaito Files DLC and becoming utterly engrossed with it, it's clear that the answer was staring us in the face all along—the titular Masaharu Kaito. In this analysis, let's talk about the hidden depths of this burly ex-yakuza's character, and why he may have been the series' biggest strength all along.
