Extremely random thought, but do you guys ever wonder about the events that take place just before Shenmue I's intro?
When the scene opens, despite Ryo not being present at the Dojo, he clearly knows something is wrong as he's running up the road with a look of concern on his face. I sometimes wonder why Ryo wasn't home and how he knew that something bad was going on back at the Dojo.
One of my theories is that Iwao knew Lan Di was coming on that day and that Ryo (being protective of his father) would try to get in his way. Given that it was Ryo's birthday and a Saturday, maybe Iwao sent him into town to celebrate with friends in order to protect him from Lan Di. As for the rush back, perhaps Ryo saw the unusual black car driving recklessly through Dobuita and towards Yamanose, giving him a bad feeling and prompting him to rush home and ensure things were alright.
It's totally irrelevant to the story, but I still think it's interesting to think about!
It would be really cool if the upcoming anime opened on the morning of that day and showed us the full events of how it all unfolded.
