I think it's equally fitting; in fact, it may directly reference both of their positions in the story. Where Konoe was mostly just being used in his pivotal role, thinking that it was true justice (where it was just him simply being used by EMMA in such a manner, ergo, a puppet)- where doll specifically refers to Ichinose.
@@daeronxi2804 never ever read the comments if you haven't played the game all the way through! ideally don't listen to the music either, titles in a playlist can spoil things even.
I wouldn't be surprised if the initial idea for this game was to have just an instrumental version play for Konoe's battle, and then the lyric version play directly after Sophia's Awakening. An expansion on what they did with the Shido fight in P5. If that was true, I imagine it didn't work out because the cutscenes themselves didn't really gel well with the timing of the song.
Imagine if they introduced a "Zephyrman leitmotif" during the trauma flashback (as in, the actual theme song of the TV show), and this incorporated it somehow.

The Akira The Hero fight has to be one of the funnest in the game imo. Firstly, its a two-phase battle in which you first have to destroy his Gundam Suit, and use the battlefield to your advantage all while Rivers in The Desert blasts, and then when you think you're finished Cool Guys walk through explosions and it ends out on one of the few if not *only* human-like enemies in the game(yes I know he's a Shadow but he doesnt transform like the others do), all-in-all, a very fun fight that unlike other Painful Pasts, I would gladly repeat because its just a good ass time with some good ass tunes playing in the background.
Man, and I though the Shibuya Jail with Daredevil was badass. I´m so glad I purchased the Persona titles on Steam back when Sega made that sale last year. They have continuously blew away my mind.
Hitting a Showtime, ESPECIALLY Yusuke's Showtime, when the chorus kicks in (1:37-2:19) was one of the most unintentionally exciting and anime as fuck moments in this game for me. Like bruh YUSUKE SPRINTING AT HIS ICE AND JUDGEMENT CUTTING IT TO THE MUSIC IS FUCKING WILD I fucking love all of Persona 5 and its OSTs man
My favorite part of this song is how it starts in the 2nd person tense and then transitions to 1st person at the end. It makes the lyrics even more fun and interesting. Easily my favorite new song from Strikers!
@@shinyhunterlo but...even still this is more like the yaldabaoth of the game not rivers in the desert bc rivers is still used for bosses that are important but not final
This feels like a culmination of every single boss up to this point, where they were all used as puppets, including, ironically, the man who was doing it in the first place, Akira konoe. But it's also fitting for kuon ichinose, who also uses this theme, she thought she was just a helpless doll who did whatever she was told to do, but the singer in the second half(or in my perspective, Sophia reaching out to ichinose, before ichinose herself starts singing) says that she does have a heart, but hid that due to the trauma she faced, and wanted to live without emotions.

I’m actually happy that he used it. It will hopefully make this underrated gem of a song gain some popularity. Seriously, this song is so good that I’m surprised it’s not as prominent as songs like Last Surprise and Rivers in the Desert.
i am genuinely proud of my boy max0r for finally using this banger in a video, and i’ve been listening to this looong before that video came out (edited to correct spelling error)
Everyone here talking about Konoe but no-one talking about the Joker v Joker, I was disapointed, I wanted to go with every phantom thief versus their Akane version
@FuckOuttaHere yeah the fight was hard but it would be cool to test your skills with each Phantom thief, Maybe like an optional boss. Alternatively they could have given all the PT bosses low healthbars so you could fight them all really fast but they were still a little challenging
Right? I was expecting to switch between all the party members as a 1 v 1 with their counterparts, with Joker being the last one. Would have been a long boss fight, but I think it would have been so cool!
@@pokkenwolf5985 I second this, I was a bit disappointed, too. Although I have to say, fighting Yusuke "Crit-and-Evasion-Machine" Kitagawa would have probably been a nightmare on its own, although fun as heck. (I'm not the only one who finds Yusuke kinda OP, right? I mean, the fact that crits are dependent on agility in this game, and he can basically spam Masukukaja for free ...? I did nothing but all outs in some fights, at least it felt like it, and him getting Knockdown Style just kinda broke some bosses - I have yet to play on merciless, though.)
im mad that i didnt pay enough attention to the music while fighting and forgot about this masterpiece, and now i cant experience it for the first time again
@@MyKingdomforAdRevenue I liked Kamoshida and Shido a little more than Alice and Konoe, and Maruki is kind of on a whole nother level. But yeah the in-betweeners were a step up in this game. Haven’t played P4 yet though so can’t speak for that.
A puppet, and a doll. Faced off against the enemy, the Thieves make their stand and declare their freedom to the world. They will not be puppets, or mere dolls, but living beings that make their choices. That very statement shakes the grounds, and breaks away the fog obscuring their true enemy.
Moving away from Scramble's Shido equivalent... Ichinose I'd somehow really equivalent to Maruki in a lot of ways. Both desire humanity to lead their best lives, though I'd feel like they would hate each other in the how. Maruki wants everyone's best lives to quite literally be their best lives, but Ichinose would take issue since it may then include screwing others over. Ichinose wants people to have no desire, and only go on the path they were fated, though Maruki would say that would make people miserable. They're similar, but their approaches are polar opposites, which I find neat. Happy coincidence if true.
Honestly, I had to fight Konoe with mainly zenkichi and almost solely zenkichi. He made it personal and by god does a full choreographed fight the between them sound amazing.

Goddamn, that guitar solo... ughhh, i just have no words!
Konoe develops AI, has a hero suit, owns a multi-billion yen company and has a off-brand hulk buster. ITS TONY STARK DAMNIT
Imagine if this song was in "Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight".
Main dancer: Zenkichi Hasegawa
Dance partners: Ren Amamiya, Sophia, Goro Akechi, Sumire Yoshizawa, Lavenza, Akane Hasegawa
Place: Osaka Jail
I think Counterfeit Phantom would also work for him
I'd say the main dancer should be Sophia.
I feel like most people spammed electric skills to beat Konoe. I just practiced dodging his moves and whacked at him with Zenkichi.
i did the same. it was so fucking hype
Damn, I was baton passing with a whole heat riser->marakunda->persona spamming tactic
Atlus: nooo, you can't just use one busted character for an entire boss fight!
This guy: hah, fury slices go shshshshshshsh-
@@baraness24 When in doubt, _activate fury_
I did both (plus Nuclear spells from Makoto).
I just think this fight was the pinnacle of all the game was teaching you during game play and forcing you to use it all at once to a bop
Get ready people, Maxor fans inbound.
I’m actually happy that he used it. It will hopefully make this underrated gem of a song gain some popularity. Seriously, this song is so good that I’m surprised it’s not as prominent as songs like Last Surprise and Rivers in the Desert.
@@Statboy625true, max0r is awesome for introducing this song to so many people
i am genuinely proud of my boy max0r for finally using this banger in a video, and i’ve been listening to this looong before that video came out
(edited to correct spelling error)
Jokes on you I played the game and watch max0r
You called?
Everyone here talking about Konoe but no-one talking about the Joker v Joker, I was disapointed, I wanted to go with every phantom thief versus their Akane version
Same. Or at least let me re-fight Shadow Joker like all the other bosses!
Doesn't that fight use the Last Surprise remix?
@FuckOuttaHere yeah the fight was hard but it would be cool to test your skills with each Phantom thief, Maybe like an optional boss. Alternatively they could have given all the PT bosses low healthbars so you could fight them all really fast but they were still a little challenging
Right? I was expecting to switch between all the party members as a 1 v 1 with their counterparts, with Joker being the last one. Would have been a long boss fight, but I think it would have been so cool!
@@pokkenwolf5985 I second this, I was a bit disappointed, too. Although I have to say, fighting Yusuke "Crit-and-Evasion-Machine" Kitagawa would have probably been a nightmare on its own, although fun as heck. (I'm not the only one who finds Yusuke kinda OP, right? I mean, the fact that crits are dependent on agility in this game, and he can basically spam Masukukaja for free ...? I did nothing but all outs in some fights, at least it felt like it, and him getting Knockdown Style just kinda broke some bosses - I have yet to play on merciless, though.)
Nobodys talked about it but the backing vocals at 2:07 are the same as Last Suprise and it's so fucking COOL
3:57 no more ironman
Thank you, now I can never unhear it
why this song doesn't have more likes and views?
Be glad it doesn’t because if it gets lots of views it’s likely to get taken down by Atlus
hanuman 05 thats what happened to the other one:(
the game is not yet out in the west...
Its a game that wasn't out for another 10 months (from this comment being made) and its quite late on in the game to hear it
Oh i see
That moment where the warden is a harder boss than the actual monarch.
Still it was a fun fight at least.
im mad that i didnt pay enough attention to the music while fighting and forgot about this masterpiece, and now i cant experience it for the first time again
Man I really like this boss and all of Akira story.
Even though he is a piece of shit, he at least a hero well that why his dungeon called "anti hero"
@@john_7000 i think that the jail theme is called that actually
His Trauma Cell hit the hardest for sure.
This game's villains blow pretty much all P5 villains out of the water (hell P4 too for that matter) and Konoe is probably the best of them all
@@MyKingdomforAdRevenue I liked Kamoshida and Shido a little more than Alice and Konoe, and Maruki is kind of on a whole nother level. But yeah the in-betweeners were a step up in this game. Haven’t played P4 yet though so can’t speak for that.
Suprise... MITCH!
The Game: "Okay, think carefully how you plan to attack him, he can do counters and..."
Me: haha phantom dash goes whoooosh
AS LONG AS IM ALIVE, THE FIRE OF JUSTICE WILL NEVER FADE
"I guess theres a reason why this takes place in Hell"
A puppet, and a doll. Faced off against the enemy, the Thieves make their stand and declare their freedom to the world. They will not be puppets, or mere dolls, but living beings that make their choices. That very statement shakes the grounds, and breaks away the fog obscuring their true enemy.
1:35
*Time to pee yourself!*
GET OUT OF MY HEAD AAAAHHHHH HAHAHA
NO!
WHYYYYY!!! 😵🧠
Moving away from Scramble's Shido equivalent... Ichinose I'd somehow really equivalent to Maruki in a lot of ways. Both desire humanity to lead their best lives, though I'd feel like they would hate each other in the how. Maruki wants everyone's best lives to quite literally be their best lives, but Ichinose would take issue since it may then include screwing others over. Ichinose wants people to have no desire, and only go on the path they were fated, though Maruki would say that would make people miserable. They're similar, but their approaches are polar opposites, which I find neat. Happy coincidence if true.
Just remember the people who are playing the guitar and drums are just jamming right now
"My goofy ass actually bought this like 'yeah im ready for some normal games' "
All i can see is gabriel, V2 and minos prime 😭
this might be my fave boss theme ever in persona
0:10 anyone else kinda think that here has a bit of a Massive Fire (Saejima theme from Yakuza 4) vibe?
heh, no more "irony"
this line hits Konoe real hard, since he's basically tony stark
Konoe's Zephyrman outfit reminded of Robinhood except he traded his bow & arrow for an orange lightsaber.
Funny thing is Ryuji was the mvp of this fight for me. Best boi got his time to shine!
As someone that played Counter Strike since the 1.6, this song slaps in my ears and causes eargasm to me every time.
Thanks Max0r
Thanks max0r too!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, gentlemen!
Cheers, gentlemen!
@@RedWarrior42 bud you didn't need to say it twice
@@RedWarrior42 bud you didn't need to say it twice
I misheard “time to be yourself” as “time to pee yourself”, and now I can’t hear it any other way.
Honestly, I had to fight Konoe with mainly zenkichi and almost solely zenkichi. He made it personal and by god does a full choreographed fight the between them sound amazing.
Hey! I did the same thing but had more people in party
A animated fight scene between them both sounds amazing
[Laughs in V2]
i wish you a bright future ❤️ Keep grinding
grrr
whatever
grrr
Thanks for sharing!
Seriously?
WELCOME BACK TO YOUR MAGIC SHOOOOW
Joker with Trumpeter + Makoto + Ryuji + Sophia or Zenkichi make this man shiver in his suit.
I used Ganesha
Lemme guess, from the Lavenza request?
