First conversation chapter to feature the bearer of the Wild Card and their partner. Surprised it took five chapter for me to get to this point. On another note, sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I finally started Smash Ultimate recently and, well… I've just been playing that for a while. Been playing it a bit obsessively for some reason… got whole roster in three days. Joker is so much fun to play as and the Beneath the Mask remix is SO~ good! I wasn't to big a fan of the original version, mainly because the lyrics were so incoherent, but this remix is amazing. ...bit disappointed that Life Will Change and Wiping All Out aren't in Smash, but beggars can't be choosers. ...and, oddly, Life Will Change was used in the first trailer at the Game Awards, yet it's not in the game… *just shrugs*

I'm getting off track… sort of. Anyway, onto some real quick comments about the two Persona 5 spin-offs we'll be getting. I honestly don't mind we're not getting a proper port of Persona 5 to the Switch. It could still happen, so let's be patient and hopeful. I'm personally looking forward to The Phantom Strikers and can't wait to see what sort of story it'll tell. As for The Royal (which I'll still be calling the game)... not sure what to think about Kasumi just yet. Need to think a bit about her. ...gotta wonder what Atlus is gonna do about her existence given how they've already got two spin-off games that clearly don't have her. Oh, and I still find it kind of ironic that, for all of the crud that me and other people give the last name "Amamiya"... it's a real last name. It's the last name of Kasumi's VA. ...wow.

One other small thought. Given how The Phantom Strikers will be on the Switch and Kasumi's currently the only Phantom Thief missing from Smash Ultimate… do you think that, like how having a save of Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, that having a save of The Phantom Strikers will end up giving the player a Spirit based on her? And do you think that the eventual Joker amiibo will give some kind of bonus? ...I now shudder to imagine how hard THAT amiibo will end up being to get.

Anyway… let's get back to Q2. The game is only a couple of days away from coming out when I began to write this. Sadly, there's not enough room for 'Narukami' and 'Arisato' to fit in the character limits (you'd think they'd fix that…). Though, I do think that "Minato Yuki" does have a bit of a nice ring to it. I do have a back-up idea for what Yu's last name can be if I do end up getting Q2.

Not much else to say other than I hope you enjoy the chapters.

Persona belongs to Atlus, Sega, and its other owners.


"Hey, aibou," Yosuke said as he walked over to Yu, "Got a minute to talk?"

"Sure," Yu responded.

"Do you think that these Gekkoukan High students seem familiar?" Yosuke questioned, "I don't know what it is about them, but there's something vaguely familiar about all of them."

"You're not the only one with that feeling. Myself and the others all have that exact same feeling about these guys…" Yu informed. He then glanced over to see Minako attempting to talk to Minato, but the latter was simply ignoring her. Yu stared at the two for a moment before he turned back to Yosuke, "Though… I feel like that we only met one of those two."

"Probably Arisato. He has a more familiar looking aura to him," Yosuke commented.

"I actually think that about Minako…" Yu responded.

"Dude, c'mon. A cutie like her? I think she would stick out in our memory," Yosuke retorted.

"Just something of a hunch…" Yu informed.

"Well, for once, I think your hunch might be off."

"Why?"

"Again, I think a cutie like Minako would stick out in our memories. She doesn't, so I think it's Minato we might have seen before," Yosuke explained.

"Yosuke… that logic is flawed…" Yu sighed.

"How?!"

"It just is…"

"Gee, thanks," Yosuke sarcastically retorted.

Both were silent for a little bit before Yu eventually spoke again.

"I'm sorry if I came off as rude," Yu apologized.

"At least you apologize," Yosuke said with a slight shrug, "Thanks, partner."

Yu nodded in response before he overheard Minato say something to somebody. He blinked a little in confusion, but quickly shook off the confused feeling.

"Something the matte?" Yosuke questioned.

"...I heard Minato say something. He kind of sounds a little like you," Yu stated.

"...huh. Now that you mention it, he kind of does. Albeit, he's a bit more bored and lethargic sounding than I am…" Yosuke commented, "And speaking of people that sound alike… doesn't Minako sound a little bit like Rise?"

"...a little bit, but I REALLY don't want to deal with three girls that are obsessed with me for whatever reason…" Yu said in a very exasperated tone.

"Yeah, let's not go there," Yosuke quickly commented. He then blinked a bit and snapped his fingers as a thought occurred to him, "Has anybody told you that you sound eerily a lot like Adachi?"

"My uncle, Nanako, and even Adachi himself have."

"Well… you do sound a lot like him."

"I've noticed…"

Both just stared at each-other before they just exhaled, now out of things to talk about.

"Well... I'm gonna go talk to the Phantom Thief leader about when we're heading back in. Might try to talk to some of the girls on the other teams just to get to know them," Yosuke informed.

"Don't go doing anything to make them angry at you," Yu advised.

"And you don't go doing anything that'll make them fall for you," Yosuke retorted before he headed off.


I'll admit that I started to run out of ways to continue this conversation, hence why there was the shift of the two talking about which SEES leader they might have met before to the talk about voices sounding similar. For those who don't know, Yosuke and Minato are both voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, Rise and Minako are both voiced by Laura Bailey, while Yu and Adadhi are both voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. I thought those last two shared the same Japanese VA, but that was not the case. ...kinda funny that all of the connections are in English, yet Q2 wasn't even dubbed. That just occurred to me. *chuckles a bit* Wow.

The general idea of how the conversation started is that, while the 3 and 4 casts both don't remember Q, they have a very vague recollection of it somewhere deep in their memory. Just a very vague one. Like, say, 'we met another Persona team', 'the leader of the other one is a wild card bearer', that kind of thing.

Not totally sure what a favorite part could be for this one. I do apologize if this one was a bit shorter than the others. I honestly couldn't really imagine what direction I could take this. I do hope that, in spite of that, you did enjoy this.

Just Live More.
