    While Kamoshida is not the most threatening, the most devious, or even the most elaborate boss fight. He is the most real and honestly evil villain and he is the only villain that I didn't think "This is only because it's a game, I don't really think it would take an elaborate plot to take him down". No this is a type of real corruption that happens in real life and it can hit really close to home for a lot of people especially high schoolers. (I know it did for me at least)

    • @Danothyus1
      @Danothyus1 6 лет назад +161

      I think the only problem with Kamoshida is how good they made him being bad. Him being the first villain sets up a bar so high for the other antagonists that it end up being so hard to feel the same way about them. While Madarame, Kaneshiro and the other palace masters have real crimes that are also bad in the real world, none of them touch in that uncomfortable and despicable point that Kamoshida does.

      @@Danothyus1
      I think that's also why he works so well as the first antagonist in the first antagonist in the game. In games like this where there are multiple antagonists, it's always the first and last ones who need to be the best. Kamoshida is for all intents and purposes, the villain who oppresses people on the smallest scale, limiting it to only a handful of people within the school (a max of thirty people maybe). They counterweight this by making his crimes so despicable that even though his crimes are on a small scale, they feel like our entire world at that moment in time. This highlights the theme of corruption very well, and shows that it can be very damaging even on the smallest of scales. You'll notice that each antagonist's crimes start effecting a larger and larger amount of people, and the more people they effect the more disconnected we are from them and the less we feel when fighting them. That inevitably is what causes the Phantom Thieves to fall, and then when we take on Shido the conflict is personal, just like when we fought Kamoshida. This culminates in the fight against Yaldaboath where it is also personal since he has been tricking us the entire game by pretending to be Igor, all in an attempt to set us up for failure just so we can be oppressed again. I love this about Persona 5, the more and more the characters stray from their original goal, the less personal the feelings we have for the antagonist are. Kamoshida ish what caused the Phantom thieves to exist, it's only fitting that the person we had the most motivation to fight, was the person who screwed us and the people close to us over on a very personal level.

    Kamoshida is one of those weird characters where I actually do "love to hate" them.

    Kamoshida is probably the most frightening realistic antagonist in the persona series. Especially when he's just the first boss you go after. I wouldn't think people hate him for all the shit he does in the game, but because there are people we know that stoop to his disgraceful actions in reality. That's what makes him threatening.

      I always have, and always will still enjoy the first two Personas. Though 4 is still my favorite and 3 a close second, Nyarlathotep disguised as Adolf Hitler with the Spear of Destiny is still one of my favorite things in a video game. Kinda like Mecha-Hitle-wait, I'm not finishing that sentence. Oh yeah and did I mention Tatsuya, Eikichi, Jun, Lisa, and some of the 1 cast whose names escape me. Though they're quite outdated, they still have a great bit of enjoyment in them.

    • @demi-femme4821

      I have to contend that. For me, that spot goes to Isabeau from IV. I got Law on my second playthrough (somehow stumbling into Neutral my first time despite the game's best efforts), and I was NOT prepared to fight her. Gameplay-wise, absolutely,but emotionally? Ohhh nooooo...
      The three Prentice Samurai are dear to me. I love them and I wish more mainline games had the party dynamic of IV instead of making you one edgelord and a bunch of demons interacting with some fuck you've spent a collective thirty minutes with by the time they decide to kill you.
      Like I said, I got Neutral my first go-around, so I spent a lot of time with Isabeau. I got to know her really well, got endeared by her love of manga and old-timey touch, and really empathized with her at the alignment splits.
      So when I got Law my second playthrough, I knew that this is an SMT game, and Isabeau will stand against me, but I didn't process it. The actual fight was something else.
      It's easy as shit, as soon as one of her demons goes down, the fight is over, but that's not the point. If anything, it's supposed to be a one-sided stomp. It's like Chidori, but given enough time and atmosphere to really let the tone sink in.
      The music is beautifully tragic. It sounds like a desperate last stand against a great evil, and that's you. You're the boss fight, and it feels TERRIBLE. I felt depressed after Isabeau's death. Lucifer Palace kind of melted into a blur. I wasn't really...there for the rest of the game. When Merkabah told me that I have to die in the Yamato Perpetual Reactor, I didn't even blink. I just accepted it. I've never done the White Ending, because I know I'll only feel disappointed after this fight.

      Fair enough about him not playing it, but they do exist as an integral part of the cannon.

    Heh. Akechi didn't stand a chance against me. My first goal upon entering Shido's palace was making a Persona that would crush him in the inevitable fight with him. So I created a Persona who's name I can't pronounce (Michelzediek or something like that), made sure it had skills that would either make it immune to or reflect Light, Darkness, Physical, and Pierce damage. He was almost completely helpless. He kept focusing on Joker but the only method of attacking him was Almighty damage, but non of those attacks would be able to kill Joker before someone else healed him. I basically went into that fight with full plate armor on while Akechi desperately tried to kill me with one of those nerf covered toy swords you get from the dollar store.

    Ah Strega, they had so much potential, but it just didn't work out for them.
    There was SO much that could've been done with them!
    SPOILERS FOR P3
    Does anybody remember the whole 'revenge site' thing? It was mainly used to show us Strega, but I feel like they could've expanded on it, making Strega themselves better. We know Jin is quite famous online, and that the revenge site works, and that the main cast themselves know it's a thing. You'd think someone might've, oh I don't know, *thought it might have something to do with Personas?* The whole artificial personas thing was really shoe-horned in at the end (quite literally, with it being explained on the way up to the final boss) I've always felt like it could've been used better...
    P3 is my favourite game in the series, but god do I dislike the Strega part of it. I really think if written better it would've helped. It was only because of the Drama CD's and manga that I actually warmed up to the love story sub-plot. I wanted to know more about them dammit!

    I have an idea for a persona boss. Basically, it would be both the dumbest, and yet most clever shadow. It would speak like a simple minded caveman and speak in reverse, meaning he will mean the opposite of what he really means. He would also have an elemental barrier that would change randomly to another resistance, leavening him open to a specific element, and he would foolishly give it away, like "me am stronger than fire" which would mean he's now weak to fire attacks. But as he loses health, he starts to use his manner of speech as a weapon, becoming more likely to change his weakness to another element rather than what he says he's weak too. Like if he's low on health, he'll be more likely to lie about his weakness, baiting you into attacking him with the wrong attack.
