It makes sense for Ryuji to struggle to get up the pillar in the Kamoshida fight because at that point they’re a ragtag band of teenagers trying to fight their gym teacher.

They should’ve changed it in Royal to have Yusuke (or whoever you send) grappling hook onto the thumb directly.

Fortunately, Futaba heals Ann for me - but even if she dies, we have plenty of revival items and three party members with Diarahan or better.

It also has a re-named One Shot Kill and a gun attack called Shoot Up that hits three targets.

Like the gun, it also has two status effects: Distorted Vanity (which renders one target weak to everything for a turn, like Madarame’s ability) and Distorted Envy, which.. is actually a little weird.

I’m not sure how this works for multi-target spells.

It has a single-target attack that I’ve never seen it use.

No one else can do much - Yusuke is still horny, Ann can’t hit the bell due to it repelling fire, and Makoto spends the turn Concentrating.

It repels Physical, Gun and Electric (though it did not repel Gun in the base game, which is the only real change to this fight in Royal).

> ![timrodresized](https://d1f06i8bb2eer3.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/7/37d48d8a82b5ea3ca38f3a28e2a56ba69fe6a836.png): This isn’t a big deal if you’re using Yoshitsune because Yoshitsune nulls physical.

In addition to Distorted Gluttony, it also has both single-target and multi-target physical attacks. Fortunately, I don’t think it can keep using Distorted Gluttony - it stayed alive for a couple of turns and didn’t use it again.

Looking back, I probably should’ve taken the time to charge because it would’ve killed off the main body faster.

Hitting it in counter stance causes it to retaliate by draining the attacker’s SP.

This triggers Yaldabaoth’s final phase. None of the arms got more than the one turn they’re guaranteed to get when they first spawn.

> # New Persona: Satanael
> 
> ## Origin: Gnosticism
> 
> ## First Appearance: Soul Hackers
> 
> > Satanael is essentially the Gnostic version of Lucifer - he’s the angelic form of Satan prior to his rebellion against God. This version is based on a Gnostic tradition in which he was a servant of Yaldabaoth before realizing that Yaldabaoth was not the true God and rebelling against him, granting humanity knowledge that would allow them to end Yaldabaoth’s rule.

He is a special fusion of Arsene, Anzu, Ishtar, Satan, Lucifer and Michael.

Even if Joker testified, the Metaverse is gone! What’s he going to do, pull out his phone and say “Yeah the Metaverse was right here?”

Logically, thousands of people just saw giant pillars of bone and a fuckhuge Gnostic battlemech come out of the ground. Some of them even fucking died.. though presumably Igor saved them.

Igor has a basket with a sign reading “Free Pixies, please take one”.

His entire plan hinged on Shido getting away with everything.

Wouldn’t it have been better to break his plan that way and then hope that he fucks off without them having to fight?

You’ll be treated as a hero who saved this country… but there’s no way the police or the public prosecutors will let that slide. If you turn yourself into the police, you’ll definitely be arrested.”

Joker goes to jail, and there’s a cutscene where all of the confidants you’ve reached Rank 10 with try and get him out. I have to wonder how they’re going to make this work, considering Joker is in jail for the entirety of January…

You caused this, fix it yourself.” Anyway, let’s get on to the Christmas date! There’s a special Christmas Yusu-Gay coming up in the next update. Oh, and I’ll put up a vote for who we should date for the main update.

They want gay representation and they want Akechi to be Joker’s “cute gay pancake boyfriend” as I saw one person put it. I can’t really blame them - it’s not their fault that the game has no gay representation but has two gay-coded characters.

They could’ve put in some gay representation - the way I did. They could have re-written Akechi and put in a new villain who wouldn’t be as popular with the BL crowd. I mean hell, Kasumi’s dateable and she’s only in one dungeon.

It’s fucking stupid! They had to call Akechi’s VA back anyway! With the bare fucking minimum of effort, they could have made this work! But no, can’t be helped! Fuck!

Next time, we get to watch the writers for Royal shit their pants as hard as Hashino did. I’ll put up a poll for the Christmas date and the Christmas Yusu-Gay by Salty Vanilla.
