    Fun part about Elizabeth's IK: She's a "bonus boss" in Persona 3, and the toughest fight in the game. The "9999" you see is a reference of the damage she does with Megidolan (which is what her IK is) if you happen to violate certain restricitons in her fight (including bringing multiple characters, using certain passives or skills, or even TAKING TOO LONG to beat her). 9999 damage... in a game where you max HP is 999. That's right, she'll kill you 10 times over for doing something "not allowed".

      She uses it every time after she summoned Nebiros, I think around 10 turns. She got two types of Megidolaon, Masakado Megidolaon and Pixie Megidolaon. The first one is the one she uses after every 10 turns while the latter is the delete button which she uses every time the player “break the rule” and when her health is below 10.000 (even started looping afterwards, basically not even letting you win).
      So yeah, basically you have to be invincible every 10 turns and accurately dealing enough damage to beat her when her health is nearing low so she won’t have a chance to use the delete button.

      @superninja_youtube 2 роки тому +9

      @@_zyphis_2281 Going off what Usereh said, yeah pretty much. Izanami's evolved form's killing move is called "myriad truths." From what I understand, it was meant to be a "false" truth, yet a personal truth; the revelation to live one's own life how THEY want to live and no longer restraining oneself to another's truth. Calling to Shadow Yu in the P4G animation/movie, "I wanted to stay with everyone. I didn't care if it was just an illusion in the fog. I don't care as long as I'm with everyone! I don't want to live a life without being connected to anyone! I've had my share of solitude!" Yu Narukami's "Myriad Truths" were the one thing capable of driving back the entire world's cruel truth, for his own will gave birth to a seemingly foolish yet breathtakingly purifying truth that he did not have to embrace a truth not his own. After all, the word "myriad" directly means "a countless or extremely great number." The world's truths are nothing compared to the truths of each individual's pure hearts, and so the Myriad Truths is Yu Narukami's finishing attack as the Fool Arcana: initially empty, yet with limitless possibilities.
      Tl;Dr, Yu Narukami, despite likely being a shut-in, was willing to literally do everything and anything not to be alone, and this is a reason why he's represented by the fool arcana (empty, yet limitless.) His "Myriad Truths" is the fully realizes representation: there are limitless truths, in embracing that, he doesn't need to feel alone ever again.

    When it comes to the whole lore implications debacle, I find it to be the same deal as Jump Force was. Lore is not an excuse for weak presentation. Even for non-flashy techniques, you can make it look cool while being faithful to the source. Hell dragon ball and naruto characters in that game have some of the most over the top, collateral damage attacks in that game but they lack impact and weight whereas for the Naruto side in their own games like Storm. The presentation is incredible even for the attacks that don't involve giant death balls, chakra kaijus and gundams.

    I think the problem with Max's ranking here is that, while an acceptable ranking scale, the fact is that these are for the most part characters with established lore from outside the game (with the exception of Labrys and Sho Minazuki, who are basically original characters), and so half of the Instant Kills are references to their story and powers (notably, Yu has his story-breaker spell from the finale of Persona 4, Elizabeth and Margaret reference their bonus boss fights, and Marie and Adachi reference their own boss fights in the story. Lore is a heavy part of the enjoyment here, so if you don't know the lore, you won't have that connection.
