Umeda

Umeda (梅田?) is a major commercial and entertainment district in Kita-ku, Osaka featured in River City Renegade.

Background

Umeda serves as the starting point in River City Renegade. The area is in the underground shopping mall Whity Umeda and notably features the hotel where the Nekketsu High School students are staying at. The hotel's parking garage can be accessed from the lobby and from there an entrance into the sewers is available. Each of three other floors can be explored, though only the second floor is used as it is the respawn point and where Kōji can be found. Other districts of Osaka and the sewers can be accessed from the Umeda Station, though Koshien is only accessible through Osaka Rail's Umeda Station.

During the intro of the game, the Nekketsu students arrive in Osaka and decide to head to Umeda, though Kunio instead goes to the hotel as he's feeling tired. Outside of the hotel Kunio is mistaken for being a Sakuramiya High School student and is dragged into a fight by some punks. After scaring them off, he takes a nap in his hotel room and is later woken up by Kōji as he warns Kunio that Hiroshi is currently being beaten up in the parking garage. With Masa and Yoshihiro unsure on what to do, they decide to wait for Kunio to handle the situation. With Hiroshi rescued, the Nekketsu students all meet back up in Kunio's room. Hiroshi asks Kunio if he'd like to hang out with him on the following day and upon agreeing tells him that he'll wake him up in the morning. Everyone else then leaves to get some sleep.

In the morning, Hiroshi wakes up Kunio and wishes to go to the Umeda Station, as he's been writing to Miho and promised to meet her in the afternoon. Outside of the station, Hiroshi heads to the bathroom and shortly after Miho is seen running away from some punks. With one of the punks recognizing Kunio from the day prior, he decides to help Miho and fights them off. Miho later introduces herself to Kunio and then informs Kunio of what's been happening in Osaka when Hiroshi comes back. Miho asks Kunio to join the Osaka Alliance in order to help them fight back against the Osaka Union. When Miho takes her leave, Kunio and Hiroshi are later ambushed by Hokuto and her crew at the entrance of the hotel. Kunio is grabbed from behind as Hiroshi attempts to fight back but gets severely injured instead. With Hiroshi admitted into the hospital, Miho comes to the hotel after hearing about the situation and tells Kunio that the Alliance is having a meeting in Shinsaibashi, but they'll need to clear out the Union members blocking the way first. After clearing out the Union members at the Umeda Station, Miho will hand Kunio a commuter pass to access Shinsaibashi back at the hotel. Yoshihiro will wait for Kunio outside of the hotel room and ask where the Alliance's meeting is taking place as he wishes to get revenge for Hiroshi as well.

Later in the game, Kunio is stopped as he's walking in Umeda to be told about how it's time to start cheering for the Hanshin Tigers and the authentic merchandise at the Tigers Shop. Inside of the store, Kunio is handed a train pass to access the Koshien Stadium. After meeting Masaki at the stadium, Kunio returns to the hotel after hearing from some Union members that the Nekketsu students were likely being beaten up by Yoshihiro. Kunio spots a beaten up student on the ground before two Union members come outside of the hotel room and get ready to fight him. Kōji, Genei and Masa come in and assist Kunio in his fight against the Union members.
