Judgment (JUDGE EYES:死神の遺言 Judge Eyes: Shinigami no Yuigon, lit. "Judge Eyes: Reaper's Testament") is a videogame released in December 2018 in Japan and worldwide in June 2019. It features an ex-lawyer-turned-private-detective called Takayuki Yagami, who sets out to investigate a serial killer known only as "The Mole," whose calling card is gouging his victims' eyes out. It is a spin-off of the Yakuza franchise, set in the series' staple location of Kamurocho, based on Tokyo's red-light district Kabukicho. Unlike all other Yakuza games, the player cannot purchase or equip any sort of weapon; Yagami only fights unarmed or with weapons he finds on the street. Nevertheless, a considerable number of ranged weapons appear in the hands of other characters in the game.

The following weapons appear in the video game Judgment:


Handguns

Colt 1911 type pistol

A handgun based on the Colt 1911 is seen rendered during the opening credits. For some reason, this gun has been remodelled from previous Yakuza games to make it look less realistic. It now has the cocking serrations at the front; a recipe for burned fingers.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM is a ubiquitous firearm of the Kamurocho criminal underworld, heavily used by yakuza members in-game. The developers have remodelled this version from previous Yakuza games so that it no longer has an extended barrel. Note that the safety is locked in the safe position at all times, even when the gun is firing.

Nambu Model 60

Police officers in the game have Nambu Model 60 revolvers holstered in waist holsters. Although very little of the weapon is visible, the fact that they are Model 60s can be deduced from the distinctive lanyard ring that is attached to the butt of the weapon, as well as context.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Matsugane family member Toru Higashi uses a snub-nose Smith & Wesson Model 10 to threaten Yagami and his friend Masaharu Kaito in the Charles gaming arcade. Yagami then wrestles the gun off him and fires off all six shots into the ceiling. The shape of the trigger guard, 6 shot cylinder and fixed sights all point to it being a Model 10. The cylinder release lever has been reshaped, almost giving it the look of those found on Astra revolvers. It also has an enclosed ejector rod, which is not present on the Model 10.

Other

M26 Grenade

There is an arcade game in-game called "Kamuro of the Dead." As well as its setting and general mechanics, the grenade icons in this game are taken from Yakuza: Dead Souls. Specifically, they are the "Heavy Grenades," which are based on the M26 hand grenade.

Rail Gun

In the Paradise VR side game, Yagami may be given a virtual rail gun to fight virtual bad guys. The gun comes in two colour schemes: white with red glowing parts for fights in the Millennium Tower lobby, and gunmetal with blue glowing parts for fights on Showa Street.

Stun Grenades

Another grenade model making a return from Dead Souls is the "Stun Grenade," which is loosely based on the Model 7290 flashbang grenade. These are used by AI partner Ryan Acosta, who occasionally helps Yagami out in fights after completing his friendship quest. The grenades have different effects, sometimes working as flashbangs, concussion, or electric shock grenades.
