Maruki makes my heart hurt ngl Just here to put the timestamp for Kasumi's showtime reaction bc for some reason I can't edit my description LOL 04:11 Enjoy~
Maruki’s flashback is always a hurt piece for me 😢. Really makes you feel like you’re taking more than just his goal from him when you deny his reality
My favorite showtimes are the ones Sumire nd Akechi with the protagonist, they have deeper meaning in them along with just being a flashy attack. Akechi’s shows the main rivals working together like friends yet displays difference between their fighting styles And for Sumire’s it’s a duet with someone she cares greatly about and was able to tribute her sister with it due to the metaverse
That’s what makes Maruki such a compelling antagonist in P5R compared to the other palace rulers in the game. The other palace rulers were corrupt with power and wanting to use that power to exploit others and cause nothing but harm. Maruki tho, his intentions weren’t evil in of themselves. He genuinely wanted everyone to be free of all suffering and truly wanted everyone to have their own happy endings fulfilled to rid the world of all its pain and suffering due to what he’s been through in his own life. With Maruki, you actually feel sympathetic towards him after what happened with his research and especially what happened between him and Rumi. Although the way he intends to accomplish his dream is to literally rewrite reality so that all the growth of a person would be erased and replaced with a new past so that none of that pain ever happened to said person. Example when he rewrote Sumire’s cognition into making her believe she WAS Kasumi instead of properly grieving FOR Kasumi. His goals are noble and kind hearted, just the WAY he wants to accomplish said goals are why we unfortunately have to step in.
Sumire's showtime with Joker is one of the big reasons people love her so much. She's the only one who gets a showtime with him from the romanceable options. Of course, there are other reasons, since she has a specific close relationship with Joker during the whole game and just gets closer with the PT later. It's one of the biggest reasons why people like to get on other people's ass so much to date Sumire in their playthrough. lmao
You could always try checking out Persona 5 Strikers. It's sorta like a sequel or an extended second half of the original game. It's also a secondary story essentially, albeit with the absence of a few characters, as I believe this game came out prior to Royal's release. But I completely understand if this is where you'd like to conclude your journey with these characters, as well as move on to other games. Glad you had a great experience with this game thus far 😊.

Welcome to the Melancholy Tragedy of the Gentle Madman of the Laboratory of Sorrow

I love Maruki so much bros... never has there been a better antagonist in a Persona game.
and I've played every persona game and spinoff (except strikers because I'm lazy and still haven't gotten around to it yet)
I think Nyx was still cooler but I like the complexity of Maruki’s character bc he’s so likable and what hes doing is out of kindness and love 😭
Can’t wait for the last episode! Super awesome play-through so far :]
Ty ty! I'm super excited too ;w;

Maruki 🤝 Junpei
1:00:27 Welcome to my WORST puzzle in the game 😡 It took me over an hour and 30 minutes to get the will seed and then get to the exit.
Omg I’m glad it didnt take me that long LOL I actually enjoyed this one 😭
Same here, besides the time it took to complete it; it only took an hour because I try to get everything (the will seed, and all of the chests).
btw atlus confirmed the royal trio is a love triangle
3rd semester peak
