Persona 5 Hot Take But That One Scene After Shido's Palace Is Blown WAAY Out Of Proportion By The Fandom.

persona 5 hot take but that one scene after Shido's palace is blown WAAY out of proportion by the fandom. its literally just an anime gag, which persona 5 is. its an anime game with anime jokes.

granted its not a particularly funny joke, its not even a joke i particularly think was warranted or funny myself, but the absolute HATRED towards that one scene is SO OVERBLOWN i honestly cant understand it

So do you ever reach the sad realization that the possible reason Maruki doesn't have stubble in his Palace is because all of his primary trauma and hardships along with his vow to Azathoth and Rumi started back when he was a college student (when he didn't have any) so that along with the white outfit resembling a mixture of a priest and a lab researcher is a visual representation of him continuing to cling onto the past by looking younger as well as any remaining innocence he had? And then when he starts to look more filthy and unkempt in the final phase, he looks more like his present self a bit which can represent him being exposed to the harsh reality and how much he's hurting both himself and unwittingly others? Well I just did...

Delinquent Sumi from my twitch stream! 

@ironypistol ’s massive brained prompt +_+) 

 It was fun to use her ribbon as a boxing handwrap thing LOL

I need him to come home SO BAD!!!! O_O

Why did I recently realize that Sumi tying the ribbon back in her hair when officially joining the group actually kinda parallels to when she did it during her first session with Maruki but the contexts are different??

"Dr. Maruki, I... I want to become Kasumi." || "I want to live life as Sumire!"

I'm honestly having trouble grasping why people want the ribbon to be replaced besides "she's still clinging onto/dependent on her sister" which... Is not why she chose that? She even spells it out at the end of her SL: It's in memory of her sister along with her newfound promise and resolve. This is part of why her putting it back on works for me and not a sign of dependence on Kasumi.

Especially since having it all the way down just showcases her depression and mental state so it's like... Huh?

I can see it materializing her outfit being a mix of her admiration to Joker and her growing newfound promise to Kasumi. Cendrillon being brought back with Kasumi's spirit can kinda support that too imo.

Sure, a redesign would still be a massive improvement but still it's more about that particular bit and the ribbon which commonly used in criticisms and arguments. Idk, it just works somehow despite the writing issues and a lovely parallel!
