Yakuza 0 - Secret Boss: So Amon (LEGEND)

So Amon, the leader of the Amon Clan, a clan of the world's most powerful fighters, challenges Kiryu to a one-on-one duel after claiming that he had a dream where Kiryu had risen to become a living legend and a threat to the Amon Clan, foreshadowing the encounters Kiryu has with them in the future games.
Done at level 1.

[@OrpingtonFeller]

I remember fighting him for the first time and after the cutscene I was like "alright, just another substory fight. Doesn't seem too hard." Then the cutscene ends and all I see is *a goddam cannon*
