Oddly enough, E_SJN has its own version of P_MJK_ATK_down_slash, being E_SJN_ATK_down_slash, but restanced for E_SJN. It remains unused, though.
Armed with dual forks in his tutorial fight at the prison, but uses dual knives in Substory 57: Behind the Assassin.

Yuya has a QTE (h6122_yuya_finishblow) that is an odd hybrid of animations from Kiryu's Brawler Style Heat Actions:
| Essence of Steadfast Counter | For when Yuya gets up before the prompt shows, 1st Half |
| Essence of Finishing Blows | For Yuya's running haymaker that Kiryu must dodge with a button prompt, 2nd Half |
Yuya also has two unique boss heat actions reused from his fight in the original Yakuza.
| Internal HAct Name | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| h6120_yuuya_bodyslam | Bodyslam | Even if the player successfully escapes, the HAct can still activate.
Likely because the player is still in a "grabbed" state during the escape animation's duration. |
| h6121_yuuya_german | German Suplex | Same as above. |

Gaowayan Pramuk
Has a unique heat action taken from his fight in the original Yakuza, but for whatever reason, is positioned so Pramuk is kicking Kiryu's face off a wall... in mid-air.
h5470_gao_kneekick - Pramuk’s Essence of Fence Smashing (in midair???)
Fighter Commander Moveset: E_KBX
Essence of Extreme Style Heat Action: Beast
Gary Buster Holmes
Has a unique heat action taken from his fight in the original Yakuza if he successfully tackle-grabs Kiryu after getting his health down to a certain point, and is able to use the boss version of Kiryu's Essence of Wreckage if Kiryu is downed.
h6170_gary_throw_german - Gary Buster Holmes Suplex
h1624_mount_e - Enemy’s Essence of Wreckage
Fighter Commander Moveset: E_AIZ
Essence of Extreme Style Heat Action: Brawler
Goro Majima
Majima is able to use the following heat actions as a boss:
| Internal HAct Name | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| h1512_oi_kickover_utu_c_m | Essence of Finishing Kick | When Kiryu is face-down on the ground |
| h23230_kubiuchi | Essence of the Thug: Finisher | When Kiryu is face-up on the ground |
| h23220_shimeotoshi | Essence of the Thug: Choke-Out | Triggers immediately after Majima is behind Kiryu in Thug Style. Also happens when fought as Zombie Majima. |
| h6141_majima_sting_dosu | Yakuza 1 Majima Throw & Stab | Triggers a few frames after Majima successfully hits Kiryu with his charged lunging stab in Mad Dog Style |
| h6142_majima_throw_trample | Yakuza 1 Majima Throw & Stomp | Triggers a few frames after Majima uses his victory roll command throw in Thug Style |
Fighter Commander Movesets:
p_majima_a (Thug)
p_majima_d2 (Breaker)
p_majima_b (Slugger)
p_majima_l (Mad Dog)
E_HANNYA and E_HANNYA_l (Thug and Mad Dog respectively; while disguised as Hannya-Man)
The Essence of Extreme Style Heat Action required to stop his healing phase correlates with his active style: EoE Brawler when using Thug EoE Rush when using Breaker EoE Beast when using Slugger EoE Dragon when using Mad Dog
However, in the main story, his healing phases call for different Essence of Extreme Style HACts. In his Chapter 5 fight, he uses Essence of Extreme Beast, while using Mad Dog for Phase 1 and Slugger for Phase 2.
In his Chapter 11 fight, he uses Essence of Extreme Rush instead of Dragon, likely since the developers assumed the player has not unlocked Essence of Extreme Dragon yet.

Nishikiyama uses his moveset from Yakuza 0 once more, but with the addition of a reused rush combo and one basic attack from Osamu Kashiwagi in Yakuza 0 (whose moveset, by extension, is a copy of Joji Kazama from Yakuza 3 with a unique stance and other moves).
Nishikiyama also has several unused moves taken from other characters, but the M-NSK robot boss in the Minamida Grand Prix of Like a Dragon Gaiden is fully able to use these.
