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
OH JESUS
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

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.

I did not expect that to happen....

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...
Please don't feed the trolls!

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!!!

I never played the video game, so I didn't know she'd die like that. It's certainly an emotional moment. She was great.

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.

Now Where is the Ultimate Boss's Test for Yu and *coughthercough* S.link? I wanna see that NG+ fight D:
I am the Marshmallow of Justice
Platinum is my body and Disco in my blood
I have created over 9000 Platinum toothbrushes
Unknown to Ghosts, Nor known to Demons
Have withstood Vampires, Phoenix & Bee to create many Parodies
Yet, those hands will never hold anything

There was a new song midway (or remix, can't tell) but the main one that played at the start was A New World Fool which is the actual Boss Fight music for Namatame's battle.

Okay, Nanako's death caught me off-guard. Didn't think they would go that far. Surprisingly good episode 4.5/5.

and I have a feeling who the culprit might be... it's more surprising than you'd think.

Seems like Naoto got maxed out. Aww yeah, get ALL THE GIRLS!

That was pretty cool when Yu was controlled by Namatame. Like a big oh shi- moment.

Namatame's Shadow is quite the hippie with the whole love & peace thing on its shirt, haha.

Kind of strange that they waited two weeks before realizing about the fog and then doing nothing for another week.

Go for it Yu, take Rise's offer, hahaha.

Wtf at Nanako's death, I did not see that coming.
