Yuu's voice actor does a really good job at expressing when he is in emotional pain or suffering.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! NANAKO!! Okay time to kick "HIS" ass!! I am sick of seeing his fugly ass smile.


I pick up on things that you would only understand if you played the game. Like the reason he can summon a certain persona was becuase he bonded with somebody of that arcana outside the TV. Like recently he summoned that huge dragon becuase he maxed out Doujima's social link by promising to protect Nanako.

Using Hama on a boss and winning? Cheater. xP

...I feel it's necessary for me to make a joke, because I get upset at this part of the game every time, and I'm no less upset with the anime's version.

The battle was awesome though. I hope they'll be able to maintain (or exceed!) this level of greatness right until the end.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

What the. I think this will be the only time I'll be wishing for a character to be deus ex machina'd.
Awesome episode. I had goosebumps. Nanako T_______T

It looked like Yuu used a Mahamoan to get rid of the surrounding shadows at the end of the battle. Considering Yuu used Kohryu which is the max Hierophant summon, the persona at the end was probably Sraosha which he got after maxing Justice.

I was kinda disappointed with that fight it didn't had a great flow if you know what I mean, it felt kinda messy but the episode was great altogether.

Uh, was Lucifer really used? I'm watching it right now and I didn't see him.


Must have been either Helel then,when Yu grabbed the Justice arcana? Stream was shitty but I know I saw horns - so I went with Lucifer as I'm a stupid fangirl, lol. Did you watch in clear quality? Who was it?

Edit: Saw clear quality was Sraosha - was WAAAY off lol


Erm...the one that appeared was: Sraosha. Here's more info:
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Sraosha

But most people probably would have realized the difference by the time I post this.

As for the next episode...I really hope they keep Nanako alive somehow (life support?). Also...wasn't Adachi's claim about Konishi near the end a lie? Sounds like a load of crap. I could be wrong though.

From what i Understand Nanako's dead.. dead dead.. Breaks my heart :(

Never played the game so I don't know the different endings that there are.

I love nanako :(( Sooo sad!

Anyway great episode, I'm just scared to see nanako's dads reaction and everyone else..

I would assume next episode would be about Yu grieving about the lost of his 'little sister'

All those Personae in this episode! Haha, I find it funny that I just fused Kohryu in the game today and Yu summons it in this episode too. xD And damn, I knew that was Tam Lin! I just fused him away too =/ *was my favorite Persona*

Yu was so emotional this episode...... made me cry when Nanako died >.< Now I'm going to sulk until I watch the next episode and find out which direction the anime is going to take......

Poor Nanako :( I still think that guy isn't responsible for the first deaths, he's just trying (even if failing) to keep people away from the real murderer by throwing them in the tv world

Of all people Nanako had to die, perhaps it was true that the delivery man was a savor.
Perhaps if you don't meet your shadow you'll die?
I really want to know what's going on, I need to see the next ep but waiting a week sucks.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Awesome episode! Thought the sequence with Yu and the gang being controlled like puppets was pretty neat, and we got to see Yu develop his character a bit more and summon what looks like Shenron from DBZ. All in all, another really fun episode in this delightful little show.

Hm? What's this? It sure is getting to the credits kinda early. Guess there must be a long post-credits scene.

Three minutes later

OH GOD

NANAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

jesus hippie is very creepy... I just keep staring at his 'love & peace' shirt O_o

really nice fight.. nice touch with dojima's support
I thought Nanako just sacrificed her life when yu use justice arcana to save them from the shadow eventhough the cause of her death is different...

oh man just when I thought it will be some sort of happy reunion, they just have to end it with that ending :C
in game nanako's death is very sad but seeing Yu so emotional & desperate make it more heartbreaking T_T poor dojima...

can't wait for next ep!! game spoiler:

It's Seiryuu, and it's an actual dragon from boh Chinese and Japanese culture. It's called Qinlong in CHinese and it's one of the four constellations. And yes, it's what Dragonball used as a base for their "Shenron". Just as an FYI, Personae are mostly based on mythological, religious or literary elements. As an example Izanagi, Yuu's default Persona, is one of the Japanese deities of creation.

As we went through the last seconds I kept saying "cliffhanger, cliffhanger, please be a cliffhanger" under my breath.

I don't know if I want to watch a bad end...

J-j-j-j-j-j-j-j-just wait a sec! Why does Nanako's dies? Is it because Yu didn't maxed his bond with his team mates? Nanako-chan shouldn't be dead!!! Damn, this is just too sad...


Nevertheless loved the Personae Yu's called out. Kohryuu rule! And the affinity of team's Personae played their parts here. Yukiko's Konohana strong against Saturnus's Agi spell. Clotho (or what that sisters)' Garu spell not affected Yosuke's Jiraiya. And Take-Mika protect Naoto from Kuni-no's Zio spell. Great episode so far. But why NANAKO-CHAAAAN!!!

The game to anime adaption in this episode was executed just great. Hopefully they can keep this up until the end.

That said, I'm still hoping for 26 instead of 25 episodes to avoid screwing up the ending because of pacing problems.
