His missions become available progressively as you advance through the main story.

You must complete "Follow Your Blade Twin" main mission to unlock Ryoma's first Bond mission. This mission reveals that your twin is still alive, which triggers the availability of his Bond missions. Each subsequent mission requires completion of specific main missions and previous Bond missions.

Bond Mission Sequence

The Men from Tosa becomes your first available mission with Ryoma after discovering Sakura Inn. You help him investigate matters related to his homeland and allies from the Tosa domain.
