Toni Cipriani: “Sal, how's it going?”
Salvatore Leone: “Fuckin' bene! Just great! Number one, the new mayor is fixing it so I don't get bail. Number two, we're stuck fighting the God-damn Triads and Diablos. Number three, I hear that the fuckin' Yakuza are gonna make a play to take over the city! Other than that, everything is just peachy!”
— Salvatore Leone tells Toni Cipriani about how his day is going.
Shogun Showdown is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Leone Crime Family Don Salvatore Leone from the police station in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, Liberty City.
Mission[]
Salvatore, still irate at his imprisonment, continues to receive bad news. The Triads and Diablos are taking control of Portland Island, Miles O'Donovan won't allow him to go on bail and the Yakuza are arming themselves to move into Liberty City. Toni believes he can solve the problems and is told by Salvatore that the weapons are being held in Aspatria on Staunton Island.
Toni drives to the heavily guarded Yakuza Compound. A Yakuza Stinger can be used to fool the compound guards, thus enabling Toni to drive inside the compound without any Yakuza shooting at him. They'll start shooting once he is on foot and in their sight, though.
He kills the Yakuza gang members inside the compound and steals a Rhino tank. He then takes the tank and destroys it, either by dumping it in the water or taking it to 8-Ball's bomb shop, fitting it with a bomb and detonating it.
Deaths[]
- Various members of the Yakuza - Killed by Toni Cipriani for getting in his way of stealing and blowing up the tank they own.
Reward[]
The reward for completing the mission is $3,000 and the More Deadly Than the Male mission for Toshiko Kasen.
The Yakuza gang will also become hostile towards Toni and will shoot at him on sight if Toni drives around their turf.

Trivia[]
- The mission's title parodies to the 2003 cartoon series "Xiaolin Showdown".
- The word "Shōgun" means "General" or "Military Commander" in Japanese.
- As mentioned earlier, this is one of the few missions where the wanted level doesn't go down after passing it, alongside Messing with the Man from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- However, in the mobile version of the game, if the player had enabled autosave and reloaded the one that was saved after the completion of this mission, any of his wanted stars will disappear completely.
