Use the following steps to complete the game in about one hour. At the start of 
the game, you normally fight the man. After the fight, tell him "Ok...". He will 
ask if you want to join his clan. Answer "Not interested...". After that, take 
out your sword to frighten the girl. She will get scared. Say to her "Give me all 
your money..." or something like that. She will run off.

Next, go to her house. Her father will say that she has not come home yet. Leave 
and return to where you were before (the bridge). Then, go back to her house 
again. She will be there with a man with a afro. Have your sword drawn, and she 
will stay scared. The man will tell you to put it away. Attack him, and after the 
fight, he will flee. The girl will go with him. Return to the bridge again. Once 
there you will fight and will kill him. After that, return to where the girl's 
house is located. You see her father getting tortured.

You have two choices that can be done here. Choose to fight the man that is 
kicking the old man. After that, kill the man with the gun. Return to the bridge 
then go back to the house. Walk in with your sword. The girl will run off again.

After that, join any clan and you will finish the game. Because you are not 
friends with the girl, you will eliminate a large part of the game. You will 
complete the game and unlock another costume.

If you befriend with the girl, you can steal her items. Just throw them out the door then move them as desired.

On the first part of the game on day 1, skip the bridge and go directly to the foundry. A man will talk about it. Attack him. You will then fight 100 men. You can do this as often as needed. This will help your money and your weapon.

Join the Kurou family. Get about 50 yen fighting the man when you join the "family." You will get about 50 yen more for baby-sitting the kid. The night that Dona Dona goes to get the money from the residence, go to the girl, Suzu. "Rescue" Dona Dona. When you say you are on his side, he will call you a fool or something similar and fight you. Bring the safe with you to Suzu. When she sees that Dona Dona is not there, she will walk away. You can now get the 180 yen that was in the safe.
