Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition

By Tayla Drago

Episode #164 - Azathoth aka Adam Kadmon


Tayla: I just wanted to add one more Persona to be the last one...What it is will be in this chapter/episode. Promise...

Tayla: Persona #214 - Adam Kadmon


The original man in the teachings of Kabbalah, untainted by earthly matter. He stands in contrast to the Adam of Eden, who was made from earthly clay. He was the perfect prototype man made by God, with the Kabbalists taking this concept to describe the divine symbolism of the human body. In later teachings Adam Kadmon came about to personify the Messiah, with Adam Beliyya'al' being his contrast as the devil. He is symbolized by the Sefirot, which are the Ten Circles of Creation in the Kabbalah.

So you all know the dark secrets and sad past to start this whole mess and Cthulhu powers to already be within Ginza Sakurai to become the world order of all worlds to complete with, and Junko to take him down to go away for Maruki's creation will disappear with a change of heart to happen. With the pearl saved by Kiwa's doing and the shard still useful on Ginza for Junko and King Frost take on the brother 'to end the entire nightmare for good and revenge from the Midnight Strike event'; with Aika, Hitomi 'with their Personas', Daisuke, and Tohru to have their powers to back her up. All the help they need.

Ginza: Ready to play, Sister? Like we did in the old days?

Junko: Whatever...But I won't go easy on, Brother. King Frost and I will take you down. The rest of you, back me up and stay out of this for your good!

The others understood the whole thing.

Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru: Right.

Kiwa: We can do this, Witch!

Powering up for Ginza has his many arms from the ground again to stopping the other Metropolis 12 members to fight back, the battle begins.

Ginza: Now then...Let's play! Let's play! Come on!

Moving in fast, Junko gets her kunai knife to stopping Ginza from striking at her...they were fast to outmatch against each other. From steel and ice powers to other underworld things from the Shallow Shard's energy to grow more and more!

Junko: (Dammit! He's too fast!) Stay still!

Ginza: Nah, make me!

No matter what Aika and Hitomi's Persona-users' powers, along with some from Daisuke and Tohru wasn't doing any good to stop the many arms.

Daisuke: Dammit, there's too many of them!

Tohru: We can't let Junko's fate be for nothing!

With the hard battles and other parts to stopped, Kiwa had the Eternal Pearl to use to shield him from the other arms to fade out from the power of the pure heart and light to follow through. His powers were brains and defense only, to still be a very good thing to have.

Kiwa: (Huh? The Eternal Pearl is...saving me? Wait, I can wield it well the way Morgana did. And the others' powers to be growing as Lady Lavenza's...Yeah, I think I get it now.)

Something tells me he already has an idea in mind...Hopefully, Kiwa can reach out to the other from the man Ginza's arms and aid Junko from the battle, rushing to their side to shield himself with the pearl to shielding Kiwa Tsuba from a swarm of demon arms. He can do it! Now for the Phantom Thieves to deal with Maruki and his Persona Azathoth to also save Jose; Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sumire give it their all.

Hereward: It's party time!

This won't be a easy fight here. For Maruki to be doing everything, the other truly care about him still.

Sumire: Dr. Maruki...

Maruki: I have to do this...

Futaba: Incoming, guys! Get ready!

Tayla: Phantom Thieves and Metropolis 12 members vs. Maruki and Ginza Sakurai...The Final battle!

Now then, let the last showdown begin! As Futaba boosts their powers and defense up to be ready for anything.

Keiko: Let's rescue Jose and stop Maruki for good! Everyone, lend me a hand! Raoul, give me strength!

Raoul: Of course, Joker!

Keiko: Double Daggers of Darkness!

Shooting out a lot for the others fire a lot of gun shots at Maruki and Azathoth to get a hit a little, but with a lot of the Persona's arms to get the other bullets...he then strikes back at all of them.

Maruki: Not bad in battle...But I too can fight back, watch and learn!

Striking back to hitting them a little, Futaba's powers manage to block the rest of it and hitting back.

Futaba: Ah, no you don't! Pay back time...Techno Claws!

It pushes the two and the many arms back with luck, but it didn't weaken them there. Maruki has more defense powers to boost up and more arms to keep on coming.

Morgana: Crap! Looks like we need to stop the arms in order to put a lot of hurt on Maruki.

Ryuji: What about his Personas?

Futaba: Just avoid getting killed...! We can hit the Persona-user, but his Persona Azathoth only give him power with Jose for more boosting. Just do you best, you guys, and I'll keep backing you all up!

Better than nothing for them to move around and try hitting Maruki to get more arms to come out of Azathoth many more times even when he gets hurt to still be shielded. Soon to be using their weapons – Akechi has an opening.

Hereward: Do it already!

Akechi: Right, Hereward! Double Edge Sword Take-down!

It works, but to almost getting electrocuted a bit for Jose getting hurt more and Maruki's powers pushes Akechi back for his Persona's spirit to save him.

Keiko: Akechi!

He gets back up for Keiko to help her lover out.

Hereward: We would've been deep fried there...!

More defense from Maruki was happening...

Futaba: What? The Persona shielded him?! This Persona's definitely trouble...

Akechi: It's because of Jose's powers to have the shield up more and more. Keiko, we have to rescue Jose...!

So what Futaba was picking up on, Morgana was right. There has to be a way to do it and stop Maruki too, but how...? It was time for a group attack to use next.

Makoto: Let's go up and take out the arms and then the others two...Follow my lead! Poison Fangs!

All together now!

Ryuji: Mega Volt!

Morgana: Whirlwind Tackle!

Ann: Spinning Inferno!

Yusuke: Tsunami Blast!

Haru: Daisy Vines!

Sumire: Nova Double Take-down!

More healing a bit for the arms to grow back and charging up for a full on attack to use on them, it was big!

Keiko: Look out!

Lucky for Sumire's fairy powers come in handy to use.

Sumire: Hang on! Metronome of Defense!

What a close call, huh?

Ryuji: We almost died...!

Akechi: Thanks, Violet. Let's use the other move next.

Now using the Baton Passing for each of them to give it their all. From Keiko's dagger strikes, Akechi's laser blade, Morgana's slingshot, Ryuji's bat, Ann's whip, Yusuke's sword, Makoto's knuckles, Haru's axe, Sumire's sword type of ribbon...and of course Futaba throws down her bomb quickly to weaken Maruki a little.

Futaba: My turn...Digital Big Bang!

A direct hit to still stop Azathoth to weak up next with Maruki still boosting up more power and arms to be popping out. They gave it their all for one dagger hit from the power sphere where Jose was in wakes up to see all of this to be going on, in one big battle.

Jose Mommy...Daddy...Everyone...

This was battle was something else here.

Maruki: Not bad...But, we've only just begun!

Having Azathoth to be growing more with many more arms for Maruki to keep on fighting. Jose needed to do something to breaking out for himself.

Jose: No...I have to help them...Please Cait Sith, give me strength to save my human friends and the other two the most...Joker and Black Crow!

Will his Persona help Jose break free with more power of his to go into both Maruki and his Persona?

Keiko: Jose! Stay strong, please! We'll save you! (The more power Maruki gets from Jose, the stronger his Persona forms up.)

Maruki: So, let's move on!

Futaba: Huh? He's getting stronger?! Be careful!

Using his staff and power to do something to some of them to be careful with from the arms to come up fast to strike them down.

Akechi: Watch the grounds!

Futaba: Nnh...What was that just now? He's faster than before!

No using magic powers, so it was Showtime to use against these two while Jose tries using the power of a cat to break down the sphere as much as he could...Using a magic attack, to light up the room with no effect at all.

Sumire: Huh? Something's not right...

Keiko: In any case...Everyone, we need to do all of our Showtime attacks! Go!

Yeah, the old Baton Pass of Showtime moves to be done! For one person to go from the next one.

Morgana and Ann: Lovely Explosion!

Haru and Morgana: Truck Drive 'n Crash!

Makoto and Haru: Double Takedown!

Ryuji and Makoto: Shaken Take Down!

Yusuke and Ryuji : Chow Crashing Boom!

Ann and Yusuke: Shogun Beauty Slash!

From the teammates, and then the lovers to friendship next.

Keiko and Akechi: Love and Passion Strike!

Sumire and Keiko: Friendship and Sister Bonding!

Working so far to hit those two where it hurts. Nice one and one Baton passing of a Showtime combined there...From more attacks to be shielded to not get hurt a lot and Futaba to boost them up some more, and Sumire to healing the others quickly.

Sumire: I got this...Kasumi, please guide us to victory. Starlight Healing!

Just in time...For no matter what Maruki tries to say to each of the Phantom Thieves, their answers were still no.

Maruki: Akechi-san! Don't throw away your life on something you were hurt from! About what happened to your mother from Shido's doing and marrying Amamiya-kun soon with more friends you've made to still be a detective and helping them out!

Akechi: It doesn't matter...! Your words are bullshit! I can see why Junko turned against you and her brother to use her life well until the very end! And Jose's not a human battery for you to control either! For I have friends and my Princess to fight for real justice!

Hereward: What he said! Enough of this high-and-mighty bullshit! You're pissing me and him off!

Well said, for Junko would say the same thing right back since Hereward already did for Akechi to show Maruki who's boss. Now not using their combat skills or weapons, their Personas do the rest of the work.

Morgana: Diego!

Ryuji: William!

Ann: Celestial!

Yusuke: Gorochiki!

Makoto: Agnes!

Futaba: Al Azif!

Haru: Lucy!

Sumire: Ella!

Not bad to show their element powers to fire back – same with Akechi's Hereward and Keiko's Raoul. Jose was leaving a bigger crack on the sphere glass on the inside to keep on going.

Jose: Go, Phantom Thieves! Go!

Now with the spell to fade, Keiko and Akechi use their there attack to hit Maruki and Azathoth directly in the faces.

Keiko: Daggers of Darkness!

Akechi: Saber Sword Slash!

Same old recovering and more arms to appear...

Maruki: A reality where none shall suffer...To realize it...I will use all of our power!

Charging up for an incoming attack to be very strong.

Morgana: What the-?! What are they doing?!

Futaba: Be careful! I'm sensing a ridiculous amount of energy from his Persona! Joker! You all have to guard this! Violet, our defense powers, together with mine right now!

The two understood to doing so and the others to guard themselves.

Sumire: I'm ready, Oracle-senpai! Metronome of Defense!

Keiko: My guarded type of Persona on my side, everyone else guard!

As they all do for Keiko places the powers to avoid getting killed, same with Futaba and Sumire's to boost up too. With Maruki to tell the others about the whole mess, this won't do him any good at all.

Maruki: Kitagawa-kun! I know you don't really want your approval to be earned through force! You ant a world guided by beauty...and I can give you such a world!

Yusuke: I have my friends and Ms. Makoto by my side in this world-I don't need another world forced upon me!

Maruki: Amamiya-kun! Do you remember how every one of your dreams was granted in my reality? Not a single person is in pain here! Everyone is happy even your fiance should be too...Why would you dent them that opportunity?

Keiko: Forget it, Maruki! I thought you were a friend of mine. The biggest mistakes you made was coming on to me, and doing something without any of our improvable! Besides...Akechi-Cun and me are find having our original reality!

Maruki: Morgana-kun! I know how you truly feel...and there's no need to feat your differences anymore! Don't worry...You don't have to explain anything to me. All I have to do to help you is merely imagine it!

Morgana: I don't care what I look like anymore! I'm always going to be myself! Because Lady Lavenza loves me the way I am!

More! Keep it going to get stronger!

Maruki: Sakamoto-Kun! Your dream of running...Running would make life so much easier for your mother! I can make that dream your reality!

Ryuji: Yeah? Well, too bad for you-I'm done runnin' away from my problems! As long as I got these guys and my babe, I won't lose like this!

Maruki: Takamaki-san! Didn't you always want to protect your friend? Don't abandon such a pure dream when it's right in front t of you!

Ann: We're...We're both going to keep on living our lives on our own strength! For my friend Shiho and my Ryuji too! Along with everyone else!

Maruki: Niijima-san! Everyone has the right to wish for a happy family! You don't need to keep holding back your desires!

Makoto: I'll fulfill my desires for a happy family-with my own power! Friends, Sis, Yusuke, and my friends by my side!

He just doesn't give up, huh? For Jose was getting stronger the more he was trying to break free from his imprisonment.

Maruki: Okumura-san! Stop tormenting yourself over your father's sins! I swear, I'll give you a world where you'll have every chance to succeed on your own right!

Haru: I'm going to do just that with my life-pain and all! I have Sugimura-Chan as my boyfriend and others who understand me!

Futaba: Have you accepted no for an answer already?! I'll live on for my Mom's sake to not live with a lie! For Mishima-san's there for me, Sojiro, Big Sis,and the rest of us...As the Phantom Thieves!

Same with Sumire now who was once a victim to Maruki, but not anymore.

Maruki: Yoshizawa-san! That pain you're suffering...It must be impossible to move on! I want to save you from that awful life!

Sumire: I am myself! I'll never forget that again! Kasumi would say the same thing and my Kiwa wants for me to fight back!

Yeah! You guys tell him that! Firing off a big one for the shielding to work and healing up next by Futaba and Sumire's help.

Futaba: Nice save!

Sumire: Yes, we can do this. Starlight Healing!

Time to boost everything else up to attack Maruki and Azathoth this time. As Kiwa runs up with the Eternal Pearl to aiding Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru to come to their rescue. With Junko and King Frost still having trouble stopping Ginza to be this powerful.

Daisuke: Kiwa?

Kiwa: Hey, I guess I have powers after all with the pearl's help...! Now go, use your warden powers of Lady Lavenza to finish this battle!

Using the pearl here for their powers to be awakening...

Tohru: You mean we can...? Is it time?

With this for Aika and Hitomi to use their powers and Personas with new looks once they do this.

Hitomi: If we do this, then...

Aika: Persona-users or not, I want to finish this. Let's go.

Hitomi: Iwamura...Right.

Daisuke: If any case, I'm in!

Tohru: And me too!

Power up time for their outfits to turn blue from male and female uniforms of it.

Kiwa: Now here are your true powers...Aid Junko and finis the fight!

With Kiwa's guidance of power to finally bringing the other four of Metropolis 12 members their real powers Lava gave to them when healing up from the Midnight Strike event. It was payback time! Using their new powers to fire a powerful blast at Ginza to slow him down a bit and still protect his weak body...

Ginza: Hey! That kind of hurt...

With King Frost getting the Shallow Shard out of Ginza's hands to be freezing up like the gem, Junko holds on to it to give a lot or hurt to her once beloved twin brother.

Junko: (Heh...Not bad, for a bunch of outcasts...) Hey, Brother. It won't hurt not as much as I'm going to give to you next. Sisters, back us up! Killer De-Frost!

Here comes double the Showtime attack!

Aika and Hitomi: Here goes! Gravitation Starlight!

From a four on take down on Ginza to send his fake younger self right into the older one to go down hard, to falling down and for Aika and Hitomi with Kaguya and Kaguya Piccaro, aided Tohru and Daisuke to place a powerful shielding spell to hold the enemy down longer they could.

Kiwa: The shard...We got it! And the pearl is still in my hands! Now that we trapped Ginza, the rest is up to the Phantom Thieves now.

Waiting for the right timing for the pearl to heal them, the Phantom Thieves back with stopping Maruki, Azathoth, and saving Jose. From more healing, power, shielding to have Maruki's Persona to helping him win and Jose trying to break out of the sphere.

Keiko: Keep attacking and stay on your guard, everyone! We're almost there!

From avoiding more of Maruki's attacks, and firing off their gun group shot, he was getting weaker now!

Maruki: Cthulhu has been defeated...? And the gems...No! I won't fail...I CAN'T fail!

Soon to hear the glass breaking and the Cait Sith Persona aiding Jose, he was finally free to gt his hammer back to then be hitting the two enemies hard.

Jose: You're a bad doctor...!

Maruki: You broke free...? But how?!

Jose: With the people to give me all the power to win...Hammer of Strength!

Nice attack to hit both Maruki and Azathoth to the head to daze them a bit. No energy or the two gems of light and darkness was useless on them now, it's over.

Morgana: Now, everyone! An All-out Attack!

Jose getting out of the way...The other Phantom Thieves use their All-out Attack on the many arms to weaken them. With Azathoth unable to fight back now, Keiko and Akechi take their final shot on Maruki of their love attack.

Jose: Do it, Mommy and Daddy!

Keiko and Akechi: Light and Dark - Energy Blast!

And boom! Clear out from the smoke, Azathoth was finish for Maruki was all out of power.

Maruki: Azathoth?!

Futaba: Finally! His Persona can't act anymore! Jose's safe now and here's your shot, Joker!

Keiko: On it!

Using her darkness powers and dagger slashing skills to be working.

Maruki: Nngh...

From it to get a direct hit, Azathoth to now be an empty shell falls on Maruki really hard to his down fall of defeat.

Akechi: It's check and mate, Maruki-san. We've won.

Maruki: Azathoth...Did I fail?

With the other catching their breaths, and seeing Jose was feeling well.

Jose: Hi, everyone...

Keiko: Jose, you're okay. Thank you.

He was happy to start crying and hugged by Keiko and Akechi.

Jose: *sob* Mommy! Daddy! I was so scared! But I did well to save you all in the end! I stayed brave!

Keiko: Hey, sh...It's okay now.

Akechi: We're just happy you're fine. I think Keiko and I want to give you a home.

Wow, he was being serious.

Keiko: You mean...? Like our adopted son?

Akechi: I want to.

Jose: A new home with you two?

Keiko: If that's what you want, Jose. Come with us.

That would have to hold up to later, for Junko gave a sign of their part was done on screen to see and them too. With Maruki's Treasure appearing as a light up torch.

Hereward: Well would you look at that...

Ann: Is that...?

There was no doubt about it.

Morgana: ...It's Maruki's Treasure.

Haru: What is it, though? ...A torch?

Seems like it for what Maruki tried to do and for Ginza to gain the power.

Kiwa: Hey, look! They did it!

Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, and Hitomi: Wow...

Junko: Hmph, not bad. And here I thought Ginza can take it all, but in the end, he didn't.

So what was with this type of Treasure of Maruki's mean in his Palace.

Akechi: A torch is a light to guide people-it may symbolize his perception of himself as the guide for the entire world.

Junko: I see...We're here to change his heart too and stop my brother, aren't we? Go on, Keiko, take it. I've done my part...Now it's your turn.

Soon for the rooms to come together, the Metropolis 12 members and Junko join back with them...Also the other Shadows took out Ginza's army to be no more of them to cheer with joy. As Ginza sees he has loss to and trapped in a frozen ice cube, his older self and the younger one image to still be looking around.

Ryuji: Kick ass new looks!

Makoto: And the pearl...!

Safe in Kiwa's hands.

Kiwa: We did it, everyone.

Maruki: So...This is it...

Ginza: Heh...So we've loss, huh? Beaten by a bunch of kids and my Sister too...

Soon the entire Palace started to shake for Lava and the other good Personas take off from the scene.

Futaba: This place is collapsing!

Yusuke: We'd better take out leave.

For Maruki feeling bad to see his Persona in defeated to fail not saving everyone, no more fusing the other worlds into one.

Maruki: Rumi...I'm sorry...I couldn't...Or save your brother...! No, I...I can still...!

Doing something for Ginza to break out of one ice shards of Junko's to grab his older body to do something with Maruki.

Ginza: Yes, Doc. Take it in. Take it all in...! I'll join you.

Junko: Hey!

Pushing back the steel powers from his sister, they change into something entirely next.

Makoto: Joker, look out!

Keiko: Crap!

With the Palace coming down, it was time to leave.

Ryuji: Dammit...We've gotta book it!

Time for Morgana to turn into a car.

Morgana: Guys! Jump in!

Jose: Everyone else, get on!

Thanks those two, for the phantoms and the Metropolis 12 get two rides to fleeing the Palace right away. Driving away fast for them to not lose the roads and not falling down.

Makoto: Hang on!

A bumpy ride this was for Junko to worry about her brother to cause more trouble.

Junko: I still need to stop him before Ginza causes more trouble again...!

Faster! Drive faster, you two! To soon lose road for them to fall down screaming.

Futaba: We're falling!

A good landing on the streets of the city of the unfinished building, they've all made it out alive.

Aika: Anyone dead?

Hitomi: I don't think so...

Seeing from afar, they've all made it.

Yusuke: That was close...

Sumire: Dr. Maruki...

But was he and Ginza really gone? They got the Treasure and stopped the two gems from fusing, what's next.

Jose: All this for one girl the doctor likes and her losing her little brother? How sad...

About to say something to Jose, Keiko then stops to be left unsaid like Lava said to her and everyone else.

Lava: By the way, please don't inform the truth to Jose on what really happen to him, it's best to be himself to not remember anything, he's in great value unless it's wise to say so to a certain someone. Please trust in my words, Keiko. Thank you.

A close one there, huh?

Keiko: Ah...

Jose: What is it, Mommy?

Keiko: Nothing, it just...we really wanted to see Maruki through the truth. (It's best not to say anything to Jose at all...)

Liking Maruki on other things and who should've had this fate happen, or did it?

Ann: This has gone too fat past changing someone's heart...Is he even still alive? I hope Ginza's gone this time.

Turning around, Junko knew this would happen.

Akechi: Don't tell me...!

Junko: ...Looks like that isn't a concern.

Looking up top, Maruki was still standing and still fully healed up with Ginza's help to do something with his Persona and his old body from his illusion self to do one last thing left.

Kiwa: You're kidding me! Does Maruki-san realizes it was Ginza who almost try to murder Rumi! And yet he still wants to aid this bastard?!

Maruki: Sorry, but I won't admit defeat just yet. Cthulhu-!

Ginza: Don't worry. I'm a a rebirth of the main demon, who can still aid you, Doc. Trust me...

I don't like where is going either.

Keiko: Please, stop this Maruki! Just give up! Ginza is now Cthulhu to be in a human form! He did the Midnight Strike! He use you, almost killed Rumi, same with Jose, and such to make all of this happen!

It was hard to listen to reason at all for this guy.

Maruki: I'm sorry, Amamiya-kun, I really am. But-you know I can't do that. I've been chosen by the world itself...Granting this wish is my responsibility!

Using his hands of other powers, he grabs the Treasure back.

Keiko: No!

Ryuji: ...The hell?!

Ann: Ah! He just-The Treasure!

Keiko: Give it back!

Soon to get the Treasure back in Maruki's hands...and one more to be Keiko too.

Jose: He's got Mommy!

Akechi: Keiko!

Hereward: No!

Ryuji, Morgana, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sumire: Joker!

Not good for her to be in the hands of the enemy. She couldn't break free from it, being this strong. With his hands stroking Keiko's face.

Maruki: Amamiya-kun. Such beauty the way Rumi use to be...Why can't you see I'm doing so much good? I want for you to see this...Please...

About to kiss Keiko on the lips.

Keiko: No! Stop! This is wrong!

Trying to fight back for Maruki's lips was close to Keiko's, this has Akechi mad to reach to his fiance right away.

Jose: Daddy, I'll give you a boost...! Go save Mommy!

Flying up there to upper cutting Maruki's in the face and kicking him down hard, to save Keiko's life and her love of the handsome Detective Prince.

Akechi: Let her go...YOU BASTARD!

Nicely done, and finally freeing Keiko from Maruki's grasp.

Hereward: Nice upper cut.

Keiko: Akechi-Cun!

Akechi: Princess! Thank god, I made it!

With them hugging and kissing, and then Jose jumping up to hug them next.

Jose: You did it!

They were happy to see, but not all for Maruki does something with the leftover Azathoth's body and Ginza aiding him too.

Ginza: This is far from over yet...Doc! Now!

Floating up and fusing for them to see it all.

Ann: Isn't that...

For Ginza, with his real body, and Azathoth become one...As the many vines of arms and legs to form and getting much bigger, this was really bad to fighting him here and Maruki again.

Junko: Holy shit...! Azathoth isn't just Maruki's Persona with Ginza's help, Ginza is his Persona!

Yep, another shocker right there.

Futaba: No...You can't be serious...

This was up to them to face as Lava watches from afar until the battle is won.

Lava: (Keiko, I leave the rest of the fighting to all of you. Please be careful.)

Armoring up to become this Persona of Ginza's true power in his own vision of Cthulhu come to life with enough energy to use...none other than Adam Kadmon himself.

Adam: Not just Doc's Persona...Even the rebirth of Cthulhu's powers too! Remember this feeling, Sister? On what Father had us and Atsuko into the portal to change our lives forever? Besides me gaining this much power...? To be taller, stronger, and aiding Maruki or die trying to look like his other Persona was but in my way! JUST! LIKE! THIS! HAHAHAHAHA!

This was so much to take in.

Kiwa: It's not the shard or the pearl's doing...!

Tohru: He must've gain a lot during our fight with him!

Daisuke: Then we're all fucked!

Or dead at this rate!

Morgana: Maruki...He's done it...He evolved his Persona with Ginza's help! He truly has turned into a monster!

Yusuke: Such strength of will...

It seems to work well for Maruki to use this and Adam's powers to win, now Junko had to sop her brother for good this time.

Maruki: If it's for everyone's happiness, I don't care what happens to me. Don't resist...Accept it. With my power-No...With mine and Dam Kadmon's together our reality is nigh!

Hitting his staff, it begins! No warden powers or the pearl can't stop these two.

Aika: It's not working!

Hitomi: Our powers are all useless!

Keiko and Akechi getting themselves and Jose out of danger, it was time to fight back.

Akechi: Jose, get behind us.

Keiko: We need to do this.

Doing do for Kiwa has Jose – leaving the Phantom Thieves, Junko, and the Metropolis 12 to stop them now.

Maruki: Persona, guide me...! I refuse to let it end like this...Being rejected by love or not, you'll all thank me later for this. Adam Kadmon! Guide us all to our ideal reality!

Adam: Yes, Doc!

So much power, but they won't give up at all.

Junko: (In order for me to get close to Brother, I need an opening while they slow the Persona down...But how can I do that?)

Sumire: Dr. Maruki, you're wrong!

Yeah, they will fix everything. From saving Keiko to fighting back, they will take Maruki's Treasure next.

Keiko: She's right! We'll decide our own reality. We can't lose this.

Futaba: Yeah! We refuse to let it end any other way, too!

Powering up for Maruki and Adam used something on them.

Maruki: Persona!

Powering up...As everyone fires gun, attacks, magic and swingin their weapons to do less damage, Adam fires a blast to weaken all of them with one single hit. With some hits to do the trick, it was hard for Junko to wait and make right move somehow.

Akechi: Those two are too powerful to take them down...!

Trying to avoid anymore power attacks or get drained, they can't do this forever.

Maruki: Adam Kadmon! Lend me your strength...

Adam: Of course!

Taking half of the others of their HP, it goes directly into Maruki to heal back up.

Kiwa: With the pearl to shield and heal up, we can't fight back like this!

Keiko: This is a fight you can't win no matter how much we get weaker!

Maruki: I still...can't do it?! And my reality is right before my eyes...

He was getting weaker himself.

Adam: Stay strong, Doc...!

Jose: They're getting weaker from this power.

All of this for Maruki won't show weakness at all.

Maruki: I'm sorry. I said I didn't care what'd happen to me...But I guess...I wasn't committed to my words...

Adam: We can still win this, Doc.

Reaching his giant hand out to Maruki to join together as one.

Maruki: You too, huh?

About to do something, having Junko's gun powder of a gun weapon to shoot at them.

Akechi: What?

Sumire: Witch-senpai, what are you-?!

Akechi: Don't do this!

She had her reasons to stop Ginza right away, but not to kill Maruki over it.

Junko: Can't you tell?

Akechi: Don't kill Maruki-san!

Junko: And by punching him in the face for taking Keiko away almost?

Akechi: But still-!

King Frost tries to aid its human master for not backing down from this at all.

Junko: I have to stop Brother-!

Firing some gun shot for the man arms to protect Maruki from it all.

Junko: Tch...Shit!

Adam: Nice try, Sister, but I'm winning today. Doc and me understand each other. Now come, fuse with me.

Going up top to make it all happen. No, Maruki! Don't!

Maruki: You think the same thing, don't you? Of course you do...After all...

This was bad, so Junko had to go there with her weapon out to finish this.

Keiko: Witch!

Sumire: No, you can't!

Junko: Shut up! We hesitate right now-we die!

With Adam picking up Maruki, it happens.

Morgana: Up there!

With Maruki inside Adam's body to fuse their powers together, everything happens to grow twice as strong now.

Adam: That's right Doc. Come to your Persona! Hahaha!

His powers and arms grab hold of Maruki's body to make all of this happen.

Maruki: I'm all yours...Use me...however you want. Now...show us...the reality...The reality...we wish for...

With Maruki doing this, Adam will slowly kill the man to become part of the Persona. No!

Adam: Yes!

Taking over the mind of Maruki and power, it begins.

Maruki: ...!

He has his voice to speak clearer and his mind still in tact.

Adam: I am thou and...thou art I!

Like a fighting robot all charged up, the two were ready to continue on with the fight. Strong winds to all stay strong, they need to do this.

Keiko: We need to rescue Maruki from Ginza and fast!

Futaba: Incoming!

Adam: Come on!

Their full force power up attack with on punch to the ground creates a shock wave to weaken the others to one health left.

Haru: This is bad...

How can they save Maruki and stop Ginza now?

Futaba: Oh no!

Jose: Stop this!

Kiwa: I wish I can do more than heal and shield everyone...!

This power was too much to handle for no gun shot, weapon hitting or powers won't work out this time. Maruki was close to death now.

Adam: This power is the source...and the destination. I will be the light that guides mankind.

The Phantom Thieves, Junko, nor Metropolis 12 won't back down!

Makoto: But we're still not going to run!

Sumire: We're going to beat you, and go back-to our OWN reality!

Aika: And we didn't get the warden power for nothing!

Hitomi: We will win this!

No turning back now, far from it...

Morgana: That's the spirit! Now let's finish this!

Junko: Joker! Remember our talk, right? I need to do this. If I'm going down...then I'm taking Brother with me.

She gets it for there was no turning back from this now.

Keiko: I do, Witch. If so, then let us find a weak point and an opening before you can make it move.

Already covered with the Shallow Shard in Junko's hand to still destroy it next.

Junko: Heh...Already got it covered. Thank you. For everything. To you all, you're not half as bad as I thought through my sister's eyes.

Now getting closer to hitting Adam some how and rescuing Maruki to put an end to Ginza, this won't be so easy to do...Trying to heal up to boost up things for defense and offense from Futaba, the others fire guns and clash weapon at this big Persona, even for Keiko uses all the other Personas abilities to try slowing it down. And still, he punches hard for a strong attack, more guarded to do.

Adam: I cannot fail...I must not fail you all!

Another Full Force attack, but couldn't avoid it forever.

Futaba: If this doesn't stop...I'm gonna try to find a way to get us through this...Just hang in there for a few more seconds!

Junko: Then...here's my chance...King Frost, as planned. Let's go!

With Junko/Witch and King Frost being the distraction at Adam to try punching a lot more to miss or leave holes on the grounds so much.

Keiko: Witch!

Akechi: You got this!

With them trying to use long range attacks and Junko to still keep on going, nothing was hitting Adam.

Futaba: What?! It's not working at all!

Well, there has to be a weakness somewhere, right?

Adam: The time to end such strife is at hand!

Using it again for the ice destroy the impact at least, Adam looked tire for a few seconds.

Futaba: ...! I got it! I've found his weakness! Joker-the next time he attacks, that's your chance!

Keiko: Okay...Witch!

Moving from jumping up top, and building to building to get on Adam's head.

Junko: Let's go!

Hurry before Adam attacks again.

Adam: It's time we end this, Sister...! Once and for all!

Firing up again to freezing his body for a moment to make it up, leave the rest to Keiko and the others for Futaba found Adam's weak point.

Futaba: His head is his weak spot...though our attacks are ineffective in his normal state. But whenever he attacks, he drops his guard while concentrating all of his power! So if we can target his head as he strikes, we might have a shot!

Before be unfreezes himself again for Junko tries to hang on to Adam's giant body...With Keiko looking at Morgana to give the okay to go, it was time. Firing another punch to be a big hit, but...something was holding him back.

Keiko: Huh?

Adam: What?! Impossible!

All of the Phantom Thieves were pushing Adam's huge fist away from the ground this time as a team - same with Kiwa with the pearl, Jose's powers, and the other Metropolis 12 members. Wow! From Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, Akechi, Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, Tohru, Jose, and Kiwa not holding anything back. Keiko then sings from Lyn – Throw Away Your Mask.

Keiko 'singing': Lyn - Throw Away Your Mask

Did it bad I had my faith in

It never seems to see the light of day.

Shadow is where my mind's space is.

'Cuz people telling me

To suspect him of the new ways.

But it doesn't have to be like this.

No more tears shall drop from

You won't need to strive for greatness.

Believe in me

That you don't need to suffer from

You don't need to make a wrong turn.

It just requires sky dance from above.

We don't need to have this conflict.

'Cuz I can take you

To the place of delight.

Give me some might to the whole world.

Don't sleep through dreams

Believe in me

That you don't need to suffer from

Give Adam hell, everyone! Junko climbs up with King Frost's help to try to get to Adam's weak point.

Ryuji: We've come this far-we ain't gonna give up!

Aika: What he said!

Hitomi: We've come this far!

Ann: Yeah! You gotta do way better than this!

Daisuke: For our future and my family!

Tohru: And our baby girl Sena!

Yusuke: Don't underestimate our tenacity!

Makoto: It's just another threat. We'll overcome it like we always do!

Jose: All for a new life! Along with my Mommy and Daddy to have a new home!

Haru: If I run now, I know I'll regret it!

Kiwa: This all ends...right now!

Sumire: We'll decide for ourselves what we want our lives to be!

Akechi: We have real dreams and lives to live in and we will!

Junko: I'm a bit occupied, so do your goddamn job! And I'll do mine!

Morgana: Oracle! How does it look?!

They were almost there from one person and the rest to hold Adam back a bit more to aid their leader.

Futaba: Perfect! His head's defense level has dropped down to zero prevent! Got for it!

Now for a double attack!

Morgana: Finish this, Joker!

Keiko: Here I go...!

Jumping up from the rubble in the air to hook shot to the top and at Adam's face with her gun out, it was time to finish this.

Adam: What!?

Keiko: Checkmate.

Kiwa: All together...!

All together with Keiko's powers, Aika, Hitomi, and everyone else of the Phantom Thieves of 12, here comes their own combined attack...

Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, Aika, and Hitomi: Metropolis 12 Impact Blast!

Combined for all of them, Keiko shoots through Adam to freeing Maruki for good to use her powers of a bubble water to land him to safety...As his Persona Adam and Ginza's powers were fading to fall down too.

Ginza: No! My goal! My new world order! Gone!

Soon for Junko to smile at Keiko and the others once more, she jumps down with King Frost firing off its last ice blast.

Junko: People in blue, trap my Brother!

Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru do it to make a shield to trap Ginza in it.

Ginza: What is this?!

With Junko trapping herself in the ice and the shield with Ginza to get out her knife.

Junko: Remember this, Brother?

He does. From the key chain Jack Frost to be her desires of a pocket knife from World War 2 camp they had to stay alive.

Ginza: That's-!

Junko: You gave this to me to defend myself in the camp to live on forever, until now...Mix with my blood to kill you with me in it and the Shallow Shard, the Sakurai family is gone forever. So, this is it...! My family Frost Personas, you are now...FREE!

Stabbing herself and Ginza with the shard destroyed to the heart and Ginza with his fake and real body were done for.

Ginza: NOOOOOO! Sister...! What did you do?! Without the shard and you ending your life with mine...I'll be...Ah, a weak old geezer-! Ugh!

Slowly and scary looking to becoming his old self now to light up and get to turn into aches and Junko to fade away too, falling to the ground but to both turn into ice...King Frost and his family of many Black Frost and Jack Frost put the last of the win Sakurais to rest. To all kept saying the word 'free' a lot, for them to become ice and then shattered into nothing but snow flakes to be flying down. Junko Sakurai the real one was finally gone to stop and take Ginza with her. A sad but a well earned victory to finally stop the real bad guy who was dead along time ago. Scary theme of Junko's powers to see Ginza's skin get destroyed, huh? The others saw it all even Keiko to know it will come down to this and it did. Lucky for Maruki to feel weak to get out alive and hurt this time, the Phantom Thieves done and and Keiko coming back down safely.

Keiko: Junko...She's really gone.

Kiwa: They did it. The shard's gone, so is Ginza, and...Junko really did it.

With the other Frost Family Personas now free to go back home now, the rest hold their tears on Junko's loss to finish this right here and now for Witch's sacrifice won't be for nothing.

Aika: Still...After five long years, we finally stopped the murderer of our family from the Midnight Strike event.

Hitomi: Our mission is finally completed. Boss, we did it and your daughter helped us out from your work. We did it.

Other than the human who Ginza used to do some work and Sith in the real world to still track down, they were really done.

Daisuke: I can finally go on living as a dad...

Tohru: All of this to feel great with a change of heart I had. Thank you, Phantom Thieves...

This time, the Treasure is taken by the Phantom Thieves and in Keiko's hands.

Keiko: It's our now to changing your heart next.

Morgana: Kiwa, thank you for the help. The Eternal Pearl you have is the real one. Hand it over so I can bring it back to the Velvet Room later.

And so he does give it back.

Kiwa: Here you go, Morgana. (I'm glad I was useful on something I was able to do in the end.)

And now it was Maruki's turn to see the truth...From the light shining of the Eternal Pearl to see the whole truth now on what Ginza did to him and to Rumi to most.

Maruki: Another Sakurai fooled me to do to Rumi and her family...? No...! Why...Still, why? I gave up everything else..I dedicated all that I have to this...But I still...Why?

It might take a while to take in for him, and as Keiko had to tell Maruki to the hard way.

Keiko: Maruki, you're denying reality on what it is. I'm sorry if the truth hurts, but Ginza had to be stopped because of almost ending your life to make a dream become a nightmare. You were running from your past. Please, no more.

Yeah, it was kind of true. He was.

Maruki: You mean...I'm running away from it all?

Akechi: It's hard right now, and it will haunt you forever. But know this, Maruki-san. We know how much it hurts to move on and learn from these mistakes in the future. Trust me...

Hearing all of this, he started to laugh.

Maruki: ...! ...Hehehe. You nailed it. It's true that I turned my back on the original reality...But where's the harm in that?! When it grows to be too much, too painful...Ever person deserves to escape that! And the reason why I wanted to be close to Amamiya-kun to take the pain away, because she gets me...!

All along since Keiko and Maruki first met, a lot to see her at school and out of it...He truly try to move on and help Keiko to fall for. He's not a peeping tom or anything...he wanted to love for someone to get him the way Keiko does.

Sumire: ...So that's why you fell in love with Joker-senpai.

Keiko: I'm sorry, but...I'm getting married, Maruki. The ring Akechi gave me proves it.

Showing her engagement ring was more proof enough.

Maruki: So you are getting married...In all honestly, it's best for a person's growth when they tackle their own hardships...But reality doesn't always make that so feasible! No matter how much you try, or work for so long, the smallest injustice can wipe it all out, leave you with nothing...Don't you, of all people, understand that?!

Keiko: You have to look to the future, and that's it. Even then, you keep going. It's how we move on and live.

Jose: If you like the woman you once loved, I can fix it for you if you want. I don't know what happened to her and the other family, but I feel like I should make a right...

Even for Jose to not know the real self, he still feels bad for Maruki through all he been through. Maruki knows it was Rumi's little brother, be he too kept it to himself.

Maruki: Jose...! Amamiya-kun...!

Morgana: You know, there probably are plenty of people who'd ultimately benefit from your "reality." But what about the people who want to take on the world themselves? How's it right to rob them of their opportunities?

This has Sumire walk up a little to say something too.

Sumire: I don't think what you're saying is wrong either, Dr. Maruki, nor how you truly feel...Some people want to run from their pan and cling to some other version of reality...Like I used to. But the knowledge I gained through that pain, and my desire to move on...Those are even more precious to me! And I won't let anyone take them from me again!

Kiwa: And me too with my real cousin to love Sumire Yoshizawa on who she really is.

One person who was changed and then coming back with her heart changed for the better.

Maruki: Yoshizawa-san...So you truly don't want it...Huh...Looks like I'm totally finished.

Keiko: In that case...I have to do this, Maruki...Flaming Heart!

One touch and from her mask heals Maruki's heart to be fine now. Remember, he's a bit different. And now everything shakes up for the Palace to soon be gone and Lava to catch up to the others quickly.

Lava: Time for me to go.

And the rest of them too with everything coming down hard.

Ryuji: Huh...? Whoa!

Haru: The Palace is collapsing!

Trying to head out quickly...

Keiko: Crap! Jose! Take the other Metropolis members and gets out of here!

Doing so in his car - as Jose drives Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru out of the Palace right away.

Jose: Let's go, friend. Hold on! Mommy! Daddy! We'll talk more soon once you get out of this Metaverse!

Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru: Let's go home.

Driving in a hurry, it was the other Phantom Thieves' turn and Kiwa to join in. And Maruki, he has to get out of here too.

Kiwa: What about Maruki?

Sumire: Dr. Maruki! Hurry! It's not safe there!

Removing his mask in defeat for the rubble takes him down hard. But was he killed?!

Akechi: Is he mad?!

Sumire: Dr. Maruki!

Trying to save Maruki, but Kiwa had to stop his girlfriend.

Kiwa: No! It's too late for him!

Yusuke: We're trapped as well!

There was no way out for them though or on ground.

Keiko: This is bad...!

Yusuke: Is there any way...?!

They'll be crushed real soon.

Ann: Ah!

Morgana: Everyone-get over here! Hurry!

Turning into a car for everyone to get in and shielding the others from the rubble falling with his own body.

Haru: Mona-chan! What are you-

He can't keep this up forever!

Makoto: This is no time to act tough!

Morgana: Whoever-said it was an act? Heh...

The roads were about to break apart from below them. Soon Sumire thought of an idea to tell Morgana to do...anything really!

Sumire: Mona-senpai! Can you fly?!

He can only turn into a car, not a helicopter.

Morgana: But I'm a car! There's no way I can-No. It's now or never-I HAVE to fly!

Pushing really hard, his powers grow to turn from a car and into...a helicopter now. Wow! And he was flying to carrying everyone out to safety. Keiko, Akechi, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, and Kiwa.

Keiko, Akechi, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, and Kiwa: WHAAAAAT!?

Yep, it did happened. Along with Jose and the others seeing this from afar too.

Yusuke: A helicopter?

Futaba: If you could do this, then SAY SO, Dammit!

Morgana: Well, I didn't know! Now I'm downright priceless to the Phantom Thieves, heheh...

Akechi: Morgana, you sure are a mysterious one.

For his form was a bit too small to cramp up everyone trapped in the helicopter. What a ride though, but with one problem...

Kiwa: Sorry to interrupt your little moment of triumph, but...Couldn't you have made yourself just a bit larger?

Sumire: Kiwa!

Yeah, he's cramped up to be stuck.

Akechi: Just remember to talk slow breaths, Tsuba.

Somehow, someone was missing the copper...

Ryuji: Hey, where'd Joker go?!

Akechi: Wait...Where is she?!

Morgana: Don't worry!

Hanging on there from the long rope Morgana made for Keiko from the fall, she hold on in the nick of time.

Keiko: I'm down here! I'm climb up in a bit!

Seeing the Palace to go down from afar was some fight there, huh? Seeing the rest of the city sights from above and the others were happy to see Keiko was fine. Just then, Morgana was going down to be pulled by something strong.

Futaba: What the-?!

From below, they see Maruki to still be standing with some powers left...He may have a change of heart, but he won't listen to reason.

Keiko: Maruki's alive!

Good, but still bad to have the long arm demon to pull everyone else down to their down. Hold on, everyone!

Ann: Ow! Aaah!

Kiwa Hey!

Morgana: W-We're losing altitude!

Having no other choice...Keiko had to let go to stop Maruki and getting him out of his Palace once and for all.

Keiko: Morgana...Get everyone else out of here. See you all later, bye.

She let's go of the rope to fall down.

Morgana: Joker!

Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, and Kiwa: NOOOO!

Akechi: No, don't die this way!

Also, Akechi jumps down to join with Keiko with wings from Hereward's help to do one last time.

Morgana: Black Crow, wait!

Hereward: It's fine...This is my last gift to you, Akechi. Save Keiko and use your powers to make it look...kick ass. For me.

And worked to land the two lovers down to safety. It was time for Akechi and Keiko to stop Maruki once and for all.

Keiko: Akechi! (He came all the way down to get me...!)

Akechi: It's fine, I wanted to join you to beat Maruki to his senses and then drag him back to our world.

Holding hands to do so, she gets it while the others watch from above and from afar.

Maruki: Sorry to cut your flight short like that. For you both...This lace is done for. Along with the entire reality I dreamed of...

Dropping his staff to admit defeat at least.

Akechi: I'm sorry it has come to this.

Maruki: I...have lost. Even if I were to try that fight over with a change of heart now, I'm sure I'd only lose again.

Keiko: Still, you can stop. You're in no shape to fight...

Well, far from it with no powers anymore.

Maruki: So I know...this is going to sound pretty stupid. I've been holding this all in for so long, just hiding it from myself...So, please you two...Help me kill every last one of my regrets. So you two couples the only one I can ask to help me with this, Amamiya-kun. Akechi-san.

Keiko: I'm here for you, Maruki!

With Keiko on guard, Akechi will do the beating on Maruki and for all of them.

Akechi: Very well. Maruki, I'll take you on. It's pay back for what you did to Keiko and not facing our real reality.

Maruki: Fair enough...

From Keiko and Akechi to lose their masks of the powers to faded away, same with Maruki's outfit too.

Keiko: Our powers!

Maruki: The disappearance of my Palace-of the entire Metaverse-is drawing near. Seems like neither of us can summon our Personas anymore.

Akechi: Then let's take this man to man beat down the old fashion way.

Maruki: Let's begin.

It was time for Keiko powers up Akechi a bit for combat fighting only, and the same to Maruki a little to make the fighting fair.

Keiko: And...Go!

Let's see how this goes...

Maruki: I gave up everything! Everything! So, why?!

From the doctor punching Akechi in the face, he does it again. Maruki and Akechi to go back and forth here while arguing.

Maruki: Why...Why Rumi?! Amamiya-kun...! A reality where...No one suffers...

Akechi: Shut up...! And except the truth!?

Still standing hard, Akechi and Keiko then hears and sees Maruki crying.

Maruki: *sob* Haaaah!

Letting it all out to be down on his knees now.

Keiko: I'm sorry, Maruki.

Maruki: Ah...

Looking up in the skies of the night to have the snow falling with his hand reaching out.

Akechi: Now we've finally won.

Tayla: Takuto Maruki and Ginza Sakurai - Alive and defeat and one finally R.I.P.

Maruki: I'm done. I get it now. All thanks to you. Amamiya-kun, you help me out so much...And Akechi-san, I owe you so much.

Soon the glass ground to start breaking for Maruki to close his eyes to die in his own Palace.

Keiko: Oh, no!

And then...it falls apart for Maruki's glass falls down.

Akechi: Maruki-san!

Thinking he fell to his death? Well, not really...he was saved. To his surprise to not think Keiko and Akechi to not save someone like him.

Maruki: Huh?

Keiko: Maruki, hold on!

With her grabbing Maruki's hand and Akechi holding on to Keiko from behind.

Akechi: I got you!

He wants to die, but this wasn't right to do.

Maruki: Come on...I said I'm done. Please...let go of my hand.

Keiko: No! I won't let it end like this. We're going back together.

Akechi: And let you die here?! Not on our watch!

This comes to a shock to hear.

Maruki: Those eyes are as bright and honest as ever. Akechi-san, I see why you love Amamiya a lot. For her, you keep your head up, no matter what. I must have always been...afraid...Afraid yo and I wouldn't wish for the same reality.

Keiko: No, I won't let you go...!

Almost slipping, they hear and see Morgana in his helicopter to come flying in to their rescue.

Akechi: Look! They've come for us.

Keiko: We're going home together.

Maruki: So bright...

With the light to be shown, Maruki's Palace was gone and he was safe back in the Real World again. With Morgana getting the job done to take the others back to their world, as he as a human to appear in front of Lava to go back to the Velvet Room.

Lava: Morgana, well done.

Morgana: Lady Lavenza...I'm human?

Lava: In our world you are, and in the real world to still be a cat. Well, to me to be a very cute one.

Well, for their love to be different and still be together on Morgana to be himself as a cat and a male human to Lava's eyes.

Morgana: Cute, huh? I like that...

They hug and kiss until the the light get a lot brighter...This allows for Jose to take Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru to go back to the Velvet Room with Sena waiting for them.

Jose: Good job, Phantom Thieves.

A family to a child to be all good. Same with the other members – Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, and Kiwa safely back to the real world to not have their powers anymore.

As for Akechi and Keiko to be in the light and holding each other, to almost be naked...With their Personas disappearing to say their last goodbyes to them.

Raoul: Keiko, we'll miss you. You've done well to call it a end.

Hereward: Hey, Akechi, it was fun so now I can finally rest in peace. So, see you. And to you too, Keiko.

Goodbye to Raoul and Hereward to fade away now, same with the other Personas from the other Phantom Thieves from first, second, and third forms. A well earn battle to finally have reality back to normal. For the light to shine brighter for others to change back to normal now from the real thing and no longer the made up ones. Team Drago of the Phantom Thief of Hearts and Metropolis 12 have done it! The rest to be shown in the next one to be good, I promise. Still, what a battle, huh? Maruki is saved with a change of heart to see the truth at long last.
