Like really, how does one become as creepy and as unusual as him?
Also, I'm pretty sure you're lying if Chai didn't jumpscare you in the arcade fight.
Anybody who doesn't understand Chai, doesn't understand the 1980s. Therefore, you're just too young to get it. By the time you were born, being a mutant freak wasn't cool anymore. But it was once, and Shenmue is a period piece. Complaining about Chai is like complaining about the presence of Nazis in a WWII movie. Chai is an obvious nod to the criminal freaks that were all the rage in the 80s. He is absolutely typical of, say, any given thug in 1980s New York City - in real life. I wish I could say it was just in the movies, but that decade was a very degenerate time, even for the frothing underbelly of society. Crime rates went through the roof, and being a good old fashioned gangster or mugger didn't cut it anymore. Gangs really did become packs of creatures, having lost every trace of their humanity. The most respectable scumbags donned mullets. Their underlings usually went with the mohawk, or completely bald like Chai; few were allowed to have eyebrows. Tattoos, piercings, bondage leather, and extensive body paint were common, as were STDs. The more mutated the hoodlum, the better. Chemicals were literally the best thing ever. According to the logic of the 80s, the more exposure to glowing mutagens, the better. The whole point was to act like an animal constantly, dressed in rags or rudimentary body armor (with spikes), raping, stealing, and killing everyone in your path, and all while polluting the environment at the same time. This breed was mostly wiped out by the mid-90s, but not before we got such gems as Death Wish, Streets of Rage, Robocop, Total Recall, and Bebop and Rocksteady. All things considered, Chai is rather tame for 1987, but he is a homage to the era nonetheless. He's as necessary a component as cassette tapes.

Whatever it turns out to be, I'm sure it'll be great, but could it possibly be Shenmue? Surely not.
