    Rest in peace Billy Kametz, voice of Maruki 🙏
    Strategy for this boss : go for the tentacles, discover their weaknesses and abuse it with baton pass. Killing one tentacle allows you to damage Azathoth but having more tentacles down allows you to do more damage to Azathoth.

      Just note if your too slow, Maruki will end up blocking this strategy. Either he'll stop Magic Persona Abilities or he'll block Baton Pass so you can't switch to another teammate for another go at the other weaknesses. It also seems in the first phase of the battle, you should only use abilities that hit all targets for getting rid of the tentacles if you aren't going for weaknesses, but don't attempt to use attacks that hit all targets when hitting only one target. There's some sort of dmg resistance that occurs if your using attacks that hit everything on only 1 target, including almighty.

      Would've been the perfect time for him to awaken to Raoul Arsene. If they want to sell Joker's ultimate Persona fine, but I didn't even know it existed until after I beat P5R, might as well have given him a Satanael type moment. Would've allowed P5R to have its full circle moment.

      Hmm, well Personas and Shadows are the same thing in concept, so if I had to make a guess, due to this being HIS palace, his Persona can materialise Perfectly, unlike the "Ghost" like form they usually appear as.
      As for his mask staying...I've got nothing, Probably just an Art choice?

    • @aerodynamo4874
      @aerodynamo4874 4 роки тому +44

      @@zxshadowxz well, you could say the reason maruki can summon with his mask on is rooted in the fact that maruki even owns a palace. you could say his entire palace is the true manifestation of his mask. that could also make azathoth and Adam Kadmon cognitive incarnations, similar to Cognitive Wakaba, but this time, Maruki had control over them.
      this can all be proven by how certain events play out in the palace. when Joker shoots off Maruki's mask, the palace still remains somewhat intact.
      Since shadows and Persona are connected, that should've made the entire palace collapse. But not everything did. It's only when Maruki finally acknowledges that he turned a blind eye to the original world to fulfill his agenda of saving everyone, that his palace literally begins to crumble. That's the moment he "takes off his mask". The fist fight is actually most important part of this -stupid reach- theory. That's when Maruki had really mastered his "shadow"; his Palace crumbles and his true feelings of regret and sorrow come out from the Persona he had worn the entire time. His mask and attire disintegrate, and the true pain he has kept behind his mask comes out. This also causes the entire metaverse to collapse, and Joker's mask fades too. In the end, Maruki truly accepts his shadow; the Laboratory of Sorrow incarnate.
      In the time that I spent writing this dumb reach of a theory, I literally just realized how the entirety of Maruki's Palace is about his denial of everything turning into the will to bring true happiness to humanity, no matter how inherently-flawed it is.
      A literal Persona in the form of "Heaven".

    This fight ended up being one of my all time favorite fights. Sure, Adachi, Nyx, and everything in this series all have their weights. But, seeing Maruki get dissected and all those red flags he shows only briefly. Then have his general kindness be warped into what it becomes is really good writing. What makes it hurt even more, is that the main character, in this case Joker. Actively ENABLED him as the story progressed, YOU as a player gave weight and power to his warped view of a scientist "Who just wanted people to be happy" the more you interact with him. You're actions in that world and changing peoples hearts inspires him to do the same and in the end you end up sympathizing with him. Sure we all know it's wrong, but given the chance, it wouldn't be an easy decision would it? THAT makes a fantastic villain, where that line is blurred. We know it's wrong, but we secretly wish that your true happiness is just a yes away.

      Honestly? I'd say this boss ties with Nyx and Yaldabaoth as the best boss fights in the series.

Both the character and the fight itself are excellent, and they actually play into each other really well.

    When Maruki said "A world where nobody suffers!!", it really hit me hard. I knew what I was fighting for the whole time, yet it was only at the moment that I was like "Oh god, what have I done?"

  • @marblight2068

    One of the things I love about this boss fight is that it simply wouldn't have happened if Maruki was the type to do absolutely anything to get his way. The normal plot hole that would be formed is, "If he wanted to get rid of them, couldn't he basically will them out of existence?" But since Maruki truly wants everyone to be happy, he can't even consider that possibility. Maruki is an insanely relatable antagonist. The boss fight begs two questions.
    1. If you were in the Phantom Thieves' positions, would you give up a perfect, ideal life to reclaim the real world?
    And 2. If you were Maruki, would you do the same thing as him after watching the one you love suffer?
    For most people, I feel like the answer to both of these questions would be No for both. Even if they want to believe that they would stand up to Maruki, the majority of people have suffered in their lives. Mentally, Emotionally, even Physically. People would do anything to rid themselves of pain. And as for doing the same thing as Maruki, there's a reason that so many antagonists take vengeance. It's because it's realistic. People always want revenge when something bad happens to them or loved ones. So instead of trying to bring all of humanity to a better place, I firmly believe that most people would immediately jump to revenge against the world if they were given the power.
    Anyways I'm just saying that this boss fight is insanely good at hitting you in the feels because of this among multiple other things. Atlus did a damn good job.

      Also, Azathoth made the universe through it's dreams, which is really fitting for Maruki :
      He is a hopeless idealist who dreams of a perfect world, but is unable to face the world he lives in, essentially making himself *a blind fool with no sense of reality*
      And about Adam Kadmon, according to wikipedia :
      It represents divine light without a vessel, pure potential as well as the collective essence of the soul.
      With his power, Maruki can make any reality he wishes for, hence the pure potential part, and in order to do that, he uses Mementos, the collective unconcious, the collective essence of the soul. The fact that Azathoth turned into Adam Kadmon could mean that Maruki became fully dedicated to the creation of his new world, instead of simply dreaming of it.

    Beating this game after falling in love with Persona 5, the ending was emotional to me, not just because of how well written the end portion of the game was, but also that the journey was over. I didn't get that feeling from the OG game, but when the game ended, I legit started crying because, well, the game was over. I will forever be grateful to Persona 5 Royal for giving me the greatest experience and emotions in gaming.

      I feel you, my brother... I finished it a couple of days ago and the story hit me so deep in the core of my feelings that I have been feeling a little grief these days. I think the one phrase that really made me burst down in cry was when Maruki drives Joker to the station and before saying goodbye Maruki says "If you're struggling in life, you can start all over again. Like me. Remember that." and damn... That particular moment made me feel like I just receive the warmest and most necessary hug at the moment.
      I see the comment section all the time when I see these videos and I'm so delighted to see there's so much fans out there whose hearts were stolen by the Phantom Thieves... like mine. Maybe this experience will change our lives for a better.

      I feel you on that too. I considered the original version of Persona 5, a masterpiece and my favorite video game of all time, but once I played and finished this version of it, I now considered this version 100x better than the original. And what made way better is that I actually felt like I was actually friends with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and I was actually apart of the environment. And when it ended, it felt like I was actually saying Goodbye to them and the credits made me emotional, with me on the verge of tears. ATLUS created a beautiful masterpiece and I’ll definitely be replaying it on the PS5. This game will always have a special place in my heart. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts stole my heart once again

    Truly your performance with his character gave him so much life, and we'd never have Maruki without your stunning efforts.
    In my opinion, what hurts the most during this semester is that Maruki is trying his hardest to convince Joker to stay and have their "perfect" reality, and is only doing this for the happiness of others and yet, not for the sake of his own. He doesn't end up with Rumi in HIS reality, where it shows everyone is happy except himself, because he's content with seeing the world be free of its despair. And Maruki finally lets out all of his pain in 47:03

    Going into this fight, I really never thought much of Maruki. Yes, he was an endearing confidant with an admirable goal. He simply wanted to erase everyone’s problems, and allow them to live out their happiest dreams. I liked him, and even during the many encounters with him during the 3rd semester, I really only thought of him as a **good** character. But, Jesus Christ... hearing him try his hardest to persuade you. Hearing him struggle desperately as he clings to his dream. Watching as the Phantom Thieves, in a stark contrast to what stood for up until now, literally destroy all of his hard work and ruined what little he had left. It was heartbreaking.
    I think the moment I started to realize just how human and how incredible he was as just a fictional character was when you beat him in the 1-on-1 fistfight, and he just-
    Screams. He yells and spazzes out in frustration.
    Maruki is not a villain.
    But he is a damn good antagonist.

It takes like four hours for higher leveled Personas, ten for ones below LV 40. There's nothing quite like making Arséne into a busted Gun Persona.
      To elaborate: Wait til' near the end of the game so you have all levels of Mementos and mostly maxed confidants. Ideally when you unlock Da'at, because the Personas give more exp, but Post-Sae's Palace Mementos is fine too. Use Chihaya's tarot reading that gives you more chances for fusion alarms. Make sure Ryuji's confidant is at least at 9, so you have access to Instakill. Head to the lowest possible level of Mementos and start running around ramming into shadows. Make sure you at least have two or three fodder shadows. You should hit a Fusion alarm every 1-4 instakills. Head to the Velvet Room, and fuse your fodder Personas. Then, use this new fodder Persona to upgrade the Persona of your choice. This without fail causes a fusion accident, and as a result, that Persona gains boosted stats without leveling up. Rinse and repeat until every stat is 99, then go ahead and actually level it normally with Treasure Demons (Orichalcum and Crystal Skull are ideal, Hope Diamond works in a pinch.)
      Then you can start fusing Personas with whatever passives you want on your busted personas, and also utilizing skill cards. You can also go the extra mile and start researching which combinations of Personas will give a result with the best trait for your intended build.
      Do all this and eventially, you too can have a Kaguya Picaro that does over 2k damage with each Concentrated Shining Arrows.

      I mean... If you take Persona 5's scaling into Adam Kadmon then... Maruki IS massively more powerful than Yaldabaoth, who casually fused two universes together, even with just Azathoth. So imagine how much more powerful he is with Adam Kadmon. That building is able to take High-Multiversal level attacks.

    When I first experienced this part it didn't really got me on the verge of tears, but I felt bad for Maruki. But after last year where everything went wrong including me and my best friend splitting apart, the last scene where Maruki breaks down as the palace fades away really hits home to me now.
    Now that I look at this scene, it comes across as how each person handles their grief. Maruki represents the guilt and pain of hardships, who wants to fix what was lost and is held back by his painful past. Joker represents the side of acknowledging those hardships, carrying those scars and being able to move forward. Needless to say it's like watching two halves of me going at it when I watch that part.

    Finished this today. Gotta say, Maruki's points were almost making me regret the desicion to not accept this reality. But I knew it was for the best in the end, happiness doesn't solve everything. Even if we don't like it, we still need pain in our lives. He didn't have an ill intent or anything like other antagonist in the game. He just wanted everyone to be happy and no longer suffer. All in all I thought 3rd semester was an outstanding addition. Well done, Atlus. Well done.
