Lalalalala~ What's that? I can't hear you.
That series ends at the time skip, as the anime adaptation so correctly did.
I'm still playing Yakuza 5 myself.

Yeah it's probably not hers.
But that kid is probably going to be the next protag of Y7
BANK ON IT.

Believe it or not Haruto is actually the #1 most popular baby name for boys the last 7 years running in Japan.

Nothing. There's no real reason for him to go to jail. He does it for some kind of cleansing(?).

I'm sure there's a proper explanation for this.
Maybe it's just a baby that was dropped off at the orphanage.
It really can't be hers, right? RIGHT?

Not that Saejima shit again. He's MORE THAN DONE his time.

This could be redeemed if there is a sequence where Kiryu's fighting off a hundred guys while holding the baby. But goddammit Haruka.
So he goes back to jail because the writers didn't want to have to think about how to further develop his relationships with all the characters between games?
Oh man, lol.

How about 'he's finally taken over the Tojo Clan because he realized that even Haruka could do better than Daigo'?
Judging how Yakuza series less the prequel always follow the actual year in real world we'll have to wait for 20 years for 7 D:

Nooo Haruka. LOL. Didn't really expect this.

This would basically fly in the face of his entire arc over the course of the series, and wouldn't be something that he would ever want to do.
I was under the impression each game took place when it came out (in Japan).
Somebody really needs to do a timeline on this showing characters' dates of birth and whatnot. The Wikia(s) on this game aren't that developed.

Considering that the alternative constantly puts him and his loved ones in danger...

I can't think of any remaining outs, assuming the child is indeed related to Haruka and not just a fosterling.
It would be pretty brave of the writers to take head-on the toxic idol worship culture in contemporary Japan and the horrifying backlash they face should they move one toe out of line, let alone commit career suicide by having a child out of wedlock while still working that 'pure' idol image in public.

Currently smashing apart all five copies of my ultra limited edition KONNAN ja nai single releases (w/ special DVDs), dumping them into a trash can, and lighting it on fire. That's over 35,830 yen (350~ dollars for the Americans in this thread) down the drain, but I have to have principles, unlike this yakuza strumpet. Never wake up from your coma Whoruka.
Let's face it. The Yakuza series is basically a more convoluted Japanese version of Taken.

That's actually just Haruka from the past. Kiryu is looking after he until the Terminator comes back and sends her back to her own timeline

It's the HaruHarus guy if it is hers, bank on it.

He's not taking over the Tojo clan, he's making his own clan, the Kiryu clan, which I'm assuming is going to be a subsidiary (is that the right word?) of the Tojo clan, but if he's leading a smaller clan that's a part of it, he can't be the chairman of the main clan if I understand things correctly.

Don't worry Haruka, Kiryu will raise the heck out of your baby. Can we get a RPG level up system for the baby's stats?

Kiryu Kazuma is cooler than Liam Neeson.

Remember in Yakuza 3 when you thought Kiryu's dad was alive,
Yeah, Yakuza series ain't above some cheap cheesy twists to reel you in.
but it turned out to be his identical twin younger brother who happened to work with the CIA?
The baby's thumbprint is the key to opening a massive vault stuffed full with cash and Kiryu and Haruka are just protecting him.

Which kid at the orphanage did Haruka end up with?
The Bankslammer

the baby is going to shoot daigo and reveal himself as being the mastermind all along
I expect the former to be the case.
Has there been any evidence that the writers aren't actually even part of the latter themselves?

We already know from the story setup that Haruka was receiving harassmen for her actions at the end of 5 where she retired and made her announcement about Kiryu, and that it was apparently so bad that the orphanage was even being threatened.
So it seems like that's definitely something the story will be addressing.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yeah, given how the Yakuza games go I'd bet money on it being a friend's child and she was claiming it as her own to protect them. And since she can't explain the situation in her current state...
These games are so prone to twists that you can always see them coming.
