A detail in the sprite art I like is how Ryuji is the lowest on health, since a lot of his skills use HP instead of MP.

but for some reason he has a shit ton of SP when he wouldn't have that much compared to the other characters

Before this cover, there was the Jilly Shears and Lumena-tan crossover for Rivers in the Desert with SMT N163...which isn't online anymore due to an account disabling. (If someone knows where that cover exists on the internet, let me know.) That foreword out of the way, holy shit.
