Ichinose also gets this music, and the lyrics suit her better than Konoe if you ask me. "You can be more than a puppet; you'll never be just a doll." "Doll" is her particular problematic word, since everyone called her that.

[@cricketbrugh3602]

I think it's equally fitting; in fact, it may directly reference both of their positions in the story. Where Konoe was mostly just being used in his pivotal role, thinking that it was true justice (where it was just him simply being used by EMMA in such a manner, ergo, a puppet)- where doll specifically refers to Ichinose.

I wouldn't be surprised if the initial idea for this game was to have just an instrumental version play for Konoe's battle, and then the lyric version play directly after Sophia's Awakening. An expansion on what they did with the Shido fight in P5. If that was true, I imagine it didn't work out because the cutscenes themselves didn't really gel well with the timing of the song.

This feels like a culmination of every single boss up to this point, where they were all used as puppets, including, ironically, the man who was doing it in the first place, Akira konoe. But it's also fitting for kuon ichinose, who also uses this theme, she thought she was just a helpless doll who did whatever she was told to do, but the singer in the second half(or in my perspective, Sophia reaching out to ichinose, before ichinose herself starts singing) says that she does have a heart, but hid that due to the trauma she faced, and wanted to live without emotions.

I just think this fight was the pinnacle of all the game was teaching you during game play and forcing you to use it all at once to a bop

[@Unoffical.]

Konoe develops AI, has a hero suit, owns a multi-billion yen company and has a off-brand hulk buster. ITS TONY STARK DAMNIT

[@alcoop74]

im mad that i didnt pay enough attention to the music while fighting and forgot about this masterpiece, and now i cant experience it for the first time again

[@jraulpg521]

Man I really like this boss and all of Akira story.

[@john_7000]

Even though he is a piece of shit, he at least a hero well that why his dungeon called "anti hero"

[@epicxx7699]

@@john_7000 i think that the jail theme is called that actually

[@Grancop00]

His Trauma Cell hit the hardest for sure.

[@MyKingdomforAdRevenue]

This game's villains blow pretty much all P5 villains out of the water (hell P4 too for that matter) and Konoe is probably the best of them all

[@Grancop00]

@@MyKingdomforAdRevenue I liked Kamoshida and Shido a little more than Alice and Konoe, and Maruki is kind of on a whole nother level. But yeah the in-betweeners were a step up in this game. Haven’t played P4 yet though so can’t speak for that.

what is it about persona 5 semifinal bosses and having some of the best music you've ever heard in your life

The Game: "Okay, think carefully how you plan to attack him, he can do counters and..." Me: haha phantom dash goes whoooosh

[@DarkusRelling]

A puppet, and a doll. Faced off against the enemy, the Thieves make their stand and declare their freedom to the world. They will not be puppets, or mere dolls, but living beings that make their choices. That very statement shakes the grounds, and breaks away the fog obscuring their true enemy.

Nobodys talked about it but the backing vocals at 2:07 are the same as Last Suprise and it's so fucking COOL

[@Signedcentaur]

Moving away from Scramble's Shido equivalent... Ichinose I'd somehow really equivalent to Maruki in a lot of ways. Both desire humanity to lead their best lives, though I'd feel like they would hate each other in the how. Maruki wants everyone's best lives to quite literally be their best lives, but Ichinose would take issue since it may then include screwing others over. Ichinose wants people to have no desire, and only go on the path they were fated, though Maruki would say that would make people miserable. They're similar, but their approaches are polar opposites, which I find neat. Happy coincidence if true.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

That moment where the warden is a harder boss than the actual monarch. Still it was a fun fight at least.

Joker with Trumpeter + Makoto + Ryuji + Sophia or Zenkichi make this man shiver in his suit.

The first time I listened to this, I thought it was kinda unfitting for the fight. Now it’s my favorite persona fight theme

[@javierjana3123]

I said they already recycled the shido theme for another boss similar in weight of history and then this came out, simply epic

Honestly, I had to fight Konoe with mainly zenkichi and almost solely zenkichi. He made it personal and by god does a full choreographed fight the between them sound amazing.

[@egojanik3497]

Hey! I did the same thing but had more people in party A animated fight scene between them both sounds amazing

[@kdg_108]

0:10 anyone else kinda think that here has a bit of a Massive Fire (Saejima theme from Yakuza 4) vibe?

[@catnatsuki3395]

heh, no more "irony" this line hits Konoe real hard, since he's basically tony stark

[@dragonmastertheedgeking1595]

My favorite boss from Personal Issues The Fifth, Tony Stark piloting a Gundam while dressed up as a Kamen Rider while welding a Beam Katana from "No More Heroes" while Metal Gear Rising music plays in the background

[@ColeMeCrazy]

Konoe's Zephyrman outfit reminded of Robinhood except he traded his bow & arrow for an orange lightsaber.

[@MrMango-yb8tr]

Just remember the people who are playing the guitar and drums are just jamming right now

[@iaxacs3801]

I know this song was made with Konoe and Ichinose in mind. But all I can imagine is this playing over Makoto's Awakening and her going wild and revealing her true colors. Especially with that apocoliyctic western feel in the beginning
