I Had A Thought About Yaldabaoth In Persona 5...

I had a thought about Yaldabaoth in Persona 5...

Ok so you know how Joker summons Santanel to shoot him in the head? Well Santanel is a level 10 Persona from the Fool Arcana.... the same arcana your confidant with Yaldabaoth is.... the same arcana that maxes out when he reveals his true identity to you. So in other words, yaldabaoth's interactions with Ren, albiet small, were instrumental in his own death.

Although, while poetic, Yaldabaoth didn't really seem all shaken up about the fact that he was beaten. Aside from cursing out eager, he seemed congratulatory to Ren. It's kind of jarring considering how gung ho he was on ruling humanity a couple minutes ago.

What if his death was intentional on his part?

Now that the shows over and things have been officially confirmed, I'd like to imagine just how some of the crewniverse felt when all of their plot details where figured out before they were aired:

Crewniverse : OK guys, we'll really get them with this twist. They'll never suspect that garnet is a fusion

Fans before jailbreak : maybe garnet is a fusion.

Crewniverse : crud, well at least we have our pink diamond reveal to fall back on, I mean who could possibly think that-

Fans: so is Rose Pink Diamond?

Crewniverse : SHIT. How did someone Already guess that!? OK, emergency plan, deny deny deny.

*Steven universe future is announced *

Crewniverse : yeah. We got em this time. There is no possible anyone would be crazy enough to-

@novantinuum : that big monster that showed up for not even two seconds in the opening is Steven.

Crewniverse : welp. *throws hands up*

Sometimes I think a lot about the fact that king Mickey was the only active keyblade wielder around in the light realm between birth by sleep and kh1. Meaning that he was responsible for maintaining the safety of the universe for ten goddamn years. Also, he had no idea that Aqua was in the Realm of Darkness because the last time he saw her, she said she was going to put Ven Somewhere safe and told no one where she was going. So not only is he traveling from world to world for a decade, he is also hopelessly looking for two friends he will never find. Friends he feels like he let down because he couldn't help them.

King mickey is a depressing character sometimes.

I had another random thought about the fortellers. So most of them wear animal masks right? What if under their mask instead of just being normal humans, they have actual animalistic features? Like Ira having an actual horn, Invi having snake eyes, Ava, Gula and Aced having their respective animal ears. Maybe becoming a foreteller meant they went through some freaky magic shit that mutated them to have animal like features to guard against darkness. We don't see any of these features on Xigbar because he's been swapping bodies for a century .

Keeping in mind the theory that the Master of Masters is future Sora, then Nomura could also revisit his original concept for Sora being a lion person. Assuming that MoM isn't just a heart floating in a black coat.

I had a thought. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the writers say that we would see a gem shattered in future?

And the promo image shows that Jasper is going to be in the next episode.

The one that's called fragments.

Enlil headcannon

In her own warped way, Enlil actually thinks of Hikari as a friend. She was the people she had the most investment in out of everyone else in the theater. Unfortunately, because of her makeup as a collective being, she could not fathom her method of "helping" people as wrong. Also, despite looking the contrary, she is really insecure about Hikari's disapproval. A good thing to note is that while she is dismissive about the other's arguments against her ideals (and by extension her very existence), she only gets visibly distraught when Hikari joins in with them. It is part of what gets her to change into her final form. Her perceived "affection" towards Hikari is also the main reason why she DOESN'T attack her in the final battle. Enlil already Thanos snapped the three wildcards quite effortlessly, and Hikari has only 15 hp. If Enlil wanted to erase Hikari and be done with it, she could have. But instead she seems to treat her with pity, even somberly saying her name to herself when she's wasting her voice on what she perceived as a hopeless effort. Unlike Yaldabaoth's relationship with Ren, Enlil seemed to be genuinely fond of Hikari, in her own twisted way. Like Izanami, Enlil genuinely thinks placing people into theaters full of depressing movies is helping them cope. She can't comprehend any other solution because of her literally being a negative aspect. Her transforming back into her Nagi form before fading back into the collective unconscious was a last ditch effort for to be remembered fondly in Hikari's eyes, as the "person" she knew her as for the most time.
