Hmm, I would've gone with an Inspector Gadget reference as a more 'Only 90's kids will get this!' comeback.

Japan doesn't give a poo poo about underage drinking. I can never recall anyone actually asking to see ID when I lived there, and you can just buy all kinds of booze down at the local corner store.

Does no one notice that our protagonist has a cat who pops out his bag in public? I thought that Morgana kept his head in while talking to you but he's practically climbing over Maaku's shoulder in the middle of a class field trip to a crowded studio. After the poo poo the gang gave him for mewing a little too loudly on the subway too.

It's a cat and it looks fine. It doesn't look abused or anything. What kind of square is going to tattle to a teacher that someone's got a cat in the school?

I have tried looking into this high-paying part-time job myself. People seem to be talking about it here as well.

(reminder to the audience that Makoto said these guys were behind phishing scams, which this is emphatically not)

They are doing phishing scams, but this guy we tracked was part of a different scam.

They're the mafia. Their list of crimes probably goes on and on. It is organised crime.

I'm sure this will work out just like the Hand in the Netflix Marvel masterpieces DareDevil and Iron Fist. Where everyone is commiting crimes but extremely disjointed and making little effort to keep in contact. So just like clearing out areas of a map in Infamous, you can also eliminate an entire type of crime.

Basically, I can't wait for the Phantom Thieves to cleanse the Idol industry and also stupify Makoto on how we totally messed up on stopping an organized group stealing people's credit card information.

Even Kashiwagi. For all her problems she's actually a surprisingly good teacher. I mean she actually teaches more relevant stuff than Edogawa in P3.

P5 probably has the least 'girls are mean to boys because they are perverts' scenes, surprisingly enough. I mean, Ann, but that slowly gets less and less and goes away by the last part of the game.

And to be fair, she is a model. Boys fumble enough just talking to normal girls. :v:

I want to give you the usual month, but well, you have such a large group here… Three weeks. Bring three million yen by then. No less. Summer bonuses are around the corner, you know? It’ll be easy if you beg your mommies and daddies.

Oh man, the guy we’re targeting for his history of blackmail is blackmailing us! Who could have possibly predicted this?

Oh my god, Kaneshiro is so powerful. If only we also wielded this strange rectangular sorcery that allows one to capture moments and freeze them in time. Perhaps we could then counter his wizardry with an account of the events from our perspective, with some goon holding the Student Council President hostage face-down against the floor in frame and him doing nothing to stop it.

Unfortunately, we cannot compete with Kaneshiro's genius-level intellect.

Sae is almost certainly stressed to the breaking point by her job, but her outburst basically comes out of nowhere. They could have at least had Sae brushing Makoto off once or twice in that scene before finally snapping because Makoto won't stop talking about the Phantom Thieves.

It would've been nice if we got scenes of Makoto expressing worry about her big sister and also scenes of how her job goes. Because as it stands I'm imagining this.

The real star of free time periods in class is the student sitting behind you, with the clear view of a known troublemaker mass producing lockpicks & and smoke grenades. Yet does he snitch? No. Dude's legit.

He knows better than to open his mouth because there're only six classes and thus, six people who could know his secret. If anyone starts whispering about his in class crimes, he could easily trace it back to them and completely destroy them. None of them fight demons for days on end, he could easily jab their eyes out or give em' the ol' heart tap or whatever terrifying act of violence they spread about him without even trying.
