SAd, but true, for all her skills Yuuki's nothing more than someone playing a videogame. All her athleticism and reflexes are completely fake. Is VR really the future like that?
Holy crap. Sugou's making his own Persona party!
This could actually be a good thing, if Asuna stays down she won't be able to take Yanai's deal.
A fair point here, there are fates worse than death and being Sugou's toy is one of them.
But not gonna lie, the scene comes off as empty and unearned to me. It's like we threw away our entire character arc for something hackneyed in at the last minute. It just feels like bad writing to me.
Congratulations, Shiroe, you've beaten the cute girls!
And we have our catchphrase that we have enough self-confidence in to properly dismiss those unfounded accusations of cringe.
I don't think Blooming Villain works here. That song was just for a mere Palace ruler, but throughout the entire quest it's been shown that a HEAVEN Seeker, a Chosen, and Sugou are far, far above Palace rulers. They're something far bigger and grander. Here, we're fighting another Persona user who's just created his own party to fight our party on equal terms. This is something beyond Shido and Akechi. It might be closer to Strega if they weren't utterly outgunned as a team.
The closest Persona equivalent I can think of is the fight against the Golden Trio and the Shadow self fights in Eternal Punishment since we were fighting Persona users who functioned as a team there.
The seekers of HEAVEN have the power that Shido and the Holy grail displayed where they can channel the will of the people. But the Fairy Queens here aren't even good quality people, much less persona users. I wouldn't put Sugou as anywhere near Shido, who created things such as the Cognition of Akechi. All without the knowledge and the technology that Sugou has.

Cognition Akechi was just how Shido viewed Akechi, in contrast, Sugou creating Titania caused Asuna to go catatonic because reality deemed her soul more real than hers. Titania and Mab are truly nascent individuals, brainwashed and lobotomized yes, but far realer than the Akechi clone ever was which was merely Shido perception.
Just had a thought for next turn; since Sugou's Enhance Armament renders him immune to mind altering effects, wouldn't Urvashi's The Spurning immediately attempt to castrate him? If we buff our CHT and give him disadvantage with Shiroe, that should have...interesting results.

Is posible, but we don't know what Enervation does or if it does something beneficial. Simple damage seems a more safe bet.
Enervation debuffs STR/MAG and forces whoever is affected to reroll up to 2 successes for any STR/MAG roll for however long it lasts as explained in Urashima Taro's section of the Compendium, and it's stated that depending on the individual, they may respond to being castrated unpredictably. Still seems worth it.

My only concerns are that given Sugou has permanent advantage on all CHARM attempts thanks to his rank and with a beefy CHT stat I would honestly proceed under the assumption that if he tries to CHARM someone he's likely to succeed (bar perhaps a Hiyori who has a Resist Charm Persona up). So in my mind the Orb is more important than ever so part of me is uneasy that no actions are assigned to guarding it. I'd probably send Gwen to do that personally because it is connected to my other (slightly less urgent) concern that her Elec weakness makes me nervous with Sugou's Zionga. I 100% get the desire to maximize the DPS on Titania while the Thorns are up but if the Orb falls we may be in some trouble. We seemed to be fortunate in the OBERON fight because we had him locked down most of the time anyway, I don't know if we will be this time. Still, as much as I'm fretting over it, it's not enough for me to make a different plan or anything.

I've still been partial to "Nothing is Promised" from Persona Q2 as I mentioned a little before Ragnarok since I feel it can fit Hiyori on her character arc a bit. Though of course the obvious pick based on the threadmark is A New World Fool from Persona 4 - which I think also fits with how it was used there (vs. Izanami's "Chosen")
This being Sugou whose whole THING here being shown is slave waifu collecting, it should have considerable impact

Ohoho. Time to say goodbye to your manhood, Sugou~!
Edit: Also, contributing for the whole final battle theme choice, this is my pick
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfi1YPu7TC8
An epic and triumphant theme to slay a god. I would at least keep this in store for one of the latter bosses like, say...probably Quinella? There's a not zero chance she's the main target if we get to the Underworld arc.

You feel the collective weight of thousands of ALO players diffused into the system. They're waiting, watching, sending their collective prayers into Sugou's ring. It's a term you've heard many a time but you're only now scarcely beginning to understand— the collective unconscious. The sea of souls.
This was a fragment of reality, carved out by the collective observation of thousands of gamers. The walls of reality are paper-thin and what is real and what is dream blur together.
"Can't you sense it? This is your only chance to escape!" Sugou cries out, taking a step back. "What is waiting for you!? Is this precious reality worth sacrificing godhood!?"
"Don't you dare." You take a step forward. "Escape, godhood, this new world. None of it matters, none of that is why we're here! You are why we're here, Sugou! We've seen what you've done in this world, and now you want us to let you do it all over again in another!?"
"Ya know, the real world might be a pain in the ass at times," Gwen adds, her hands curled into fists. "But I'd rather die in that dumb world then spend an eternity as your pet!"
Shiroe raises his staff. "A world created from your distorted desires isn't a world worth living in. Make all the promises you care to, but we all know that in your world there will only be slaves!"
Sugou shudders and takes another step back. The ring on his finger burns brightly.
"Y-you... then I won't waste my breath on you heathans! People of the new world! Send me your wishes, lend me your strength! We shall create a new world, we shall destroy our enemies, and we will create a HEAVEN just for ourselves!"
The phantom cheers of Sugou's soon-to-be slaves echo all around you, rippling through the newly created sky and causing it to tremble. But compared to Shiroe's imagination? Compared to the thousand-year history you call on?
Compared even to the two-year hell you spent in SAO?
It was weak.
This wasn't a world at all. It was just a dream. Just some... fanciful delusion.
And here, of all places? If you disbelieve strongly enough then how could it be anything but a dream?
"S-submit! Submit to my love!" Sugou calls out, the ring on his finger shining ever brighter with the power of his Persona.
"This again? You're a one-trick pony! System Call: Urvashi!"
System Call: Accessing Memory from Server:[Earth//India] ReferenceID:[Urvashi]
Appending [Jewel of Union] into Main Visualizer. Release Recollection.
Appending [Jewel of Union] into Main Visualizer. Release Recollection.
You call upon the now-familiar celestial nymph, feeling her soul manifest in the nascent world. If you needed any more proof that Sugou's new world was just a fake dream, this was it. Even here, unmoored from the collective unconsciousness, in a new world absent any history you could still access it. A connection to true history was still maintained.
Sugou's brilliant ring spreads out its light, seeking to ensnare you all once more. And again within your hands a single jewel shines, proof of a divine love story thousands of years in the past. This time there's no glitch, no strange visual artifact as you cast Urvashi's memory into the new world. You were simply bringing a memory from reality into the nascent new world. And what was stronger? The stolen wishes of Sugou coalesced in the ring on his finger, or the weight of human civilization itself?
"T-that thing again!?" Sugou screams in impotent rage as the ring on his finger begins to flicker. "Over and over again, you keep getting in my way! I'll do what I should've done in the beginning! I'll kill you, I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
"Focus down Titania!" Shiroe calls out, banner billowing in the wind. "While she's still vulnerable, we need to thin Sugou's backup!"
Titania struggles but the bind holds, digging deeper into her skin.
Shiroe casts out a spell from his own game, the air distorting around Titania herself. A strange bubble in space-time ripples around her person. The image of Titania twists, and you hear her scream as unseen forces shred her body within the sphere of power.
"O-oberon. I call upon your light, protect me!"
Gwen jumps in, calling her own Persona into the field. The kunai she preferred to use were already destroyed by Sugou's «Object Eraser», thus she had to resort to casting the fire directly at Titania. But the copy of Asuna summons forth a surge of strength and frees her sword-arm from the tangle of vines, batting away the fireball before it strikes her distorted form. It's enough to protect her from the flames, but it's not enough to stop one of the thorns from detonating, knocking a chunk of flesh out of her side.
No blood, no bone. It's still pixels.
More evidence that the world hadn't fully realized yet, that it still thought of itself as a game.
But the pain? It seemed to be real. Titania fights back tears and shoots Shiroe a vision of pure hatred. "Light, smite these evildoers!"
Shiroe doesn't even bother dodging, the magic dissipating against his robes.
There's a brief exchange of spells that goes nowhere. Titania fires bolts of light from her hand but Shiroe simply strolls forward, waving his banner in defiance of the light. His «Elder Tale» avatar was spec'd towards the «Astral» element, the rough equivalent of light magic in his game. Titania, restrained from her rapier by Shiroe's thorns, could do nothing but cast useless spells.
Queen Mab charges forward, casting a ball of wind magic into your position. But Urvashi takes control of your feet and you twirl away from the tunnel of air, not a hair on your head touched by the razor wind.
"Again! Attack Titania!" Shiroe commands, raising his banner. "«Keen Edge»! «Overrunner»!"
As Shiroe speaks your body is saturated in red and blue light. For a flicker of a second, you see a symbol flash across the top of your vision— A cartoon staff, contained in a red box, and next to it a cartoon boot in its own blue box. Simple buff indicators from another game entirely. Not appended to your HP bar like was done in ALO, but floating above your avatar.
You don't give your opponents any time to regroup.
Your Persona shifts once more, and Pūtanā arises at the forefront of your mind. You share a nod with Gwen and the two of you charge forward as one. Daji rains down a deluge of flame, setting the thorns surrounding Titania alight. The false Asuna screams as she feels the searing pain of the thorns dig further into her flesh, further detonated by the fire magic.
And in that moment of distraction, you strike.
Pūtanā lays her hands upon yours and a sickly green aura surrounds your fists, now superimposed with the Rakshasa's claws.
You leap into the air and bring your fist down upon Titania, reaching forward with a single hand. Through the thorns, through the flesh, and into her very heart. Pūtanā's hand digs into Titania's chest and you feel her blood on your hands. The Persona smiles wickedly at you, showing off bloody teeth before withdrawing her hand, Titania's lifeblood dripping off the claws.
"N-no..." Titania whispers, a look of fear in her eyes. "This is wrong. L-lord... Oberon..."
Her body explodes into a shower of sparks as Pūtanā crushes the heart in her claws, and the last vestige of the Queen of Fairies melts into the wind.
You spare a glance over at Asuna, who's propped up against a tree. As expected the moment Titania died, so did the effect that held her spellbound. You hear her groan, clutching at her head and blinking the pain out of her eyes. She clenches her rapier, then pushes herself upright. "I-I'm sorry. I... I couldn't do anything. I felt like I was in two places at once... what was that..."
"C'mon «Flash», fucking focus! The damn fight's not over yet!" Gwen calls out, "Not until this bastard's groveling before our feet!"
"Y-yeah, I'm coming!"
The battle turns back to Sugou, and the clone of Rinko standing at his side.
He's outmatched. And now? He's even outnumbered.
The few ALO players still loyal to him, his own delusions, the SEED of Kayaba Akihiko...
They were not enough. Not against you.
You can tell by the look on Sugou's face that he knows it too.
"Even now you're still hacking!?" Sugou curses, "But It doesn't matter, your resistance is pointless! I can make another Titania, I can make another world! You lot like destroying worlds that much!? You think yourselves agents of «Ragnarok»!? Then let why don't you have a taste of your own disaster!? Alberich!"
System Call: Generate Thermal Element. Imbue Item.
Sugou raises his hand to the heavens and you feel a sudden pulse of power. The light in the ring on his finger flickers like a dying lightbulb, struggling to contain the power within.
"What is an apocalypse to a GOD!? What is ruin to one such as me!? I am Sugou Nobuyuki! I will be ALLMIGHTY! Alberich, give me the power of «Ragnarok»!"
Sugou's Persona reappears from its master's ring, cackling as its bony hands run over the edge of the «Object Eraser». The flames that surround the GM item are stoked, burning with ever greater fury and intensity. Sugou raises his weapon high into the air, and the flames begin to coil around the tip.
A beam of light erupts from the GM item.
And then all you see is fire.
You raise your Persona in a last-minute defense, but as fire pours into your soul you realize this fire was your weakness. The heat saturates you, coating your body in pain and you feel like an insect beneath a magnifying glass.
"«Mind Shock»!" You hear Shiroe call out behind you and for a moment the flames buckle, the heat turning from searing to merely uncomfortable, Sugou's concentration broken by Shiroe's sudden interjection.
Then Queen Mab steps forward, places her hands on Sugou's sword, and fans the flame with her very magic.
The faint dullness you've come to expect from damage fails to manifest. Instead, soot tickles your nose, and ash coats your eyes. Here with the walls of reality fragile and uncertain, there was no more «Pain Absorber». Nothing to protect you from the agony.
Your Persona breaks against the incoming fire.
And it washes over you.
"Ahahaha, how do you like it? Your very own taste of «Ragnarok»!" Sugou cackles as he bathes you in fire. "You could've been a new god, but instead you're just kindling for the new world!"
You scream out in pain as your skin boils, Sugou's Persona pouring all its might into his GM weapon. Sugou's Persona, Alberich, laughs by his master's side, cackling at the inferno it's created.
Your hair singes.
Your skin begins to crumble.
And your flesh begins to boil.
You...
You remember. That unlike Sugou...
You weren't alone.
Your soul shifts and you remember the girl you shared your soul with.
Alice, that precocious girl with long blonde hair and a love of the unknown. You had thought her the character from Alice in Wonderland, but you could sense a strange darkness within her. A corruption of the sea of souls, some strange aspect of her myth entangled with a tale of death.
You had a choice, whether to call forth that aspect of Alice to the forefront. To turn that curse against humanity into the true face of Alice.
But you chose to turn away and embrace Alice as a simple adventure-loving girl ensconced in her parent's study, whiling the time away in books.
You look beyond even your Persona. At components of your fusion. And you call upon that frail and lost soul you brought into Alice.
And ask her for help.
...
System Call: Chosen Candidate Requesting System Update. [GRANTED] Incarnating Fluctlight into World Layer.
Strong arms grab you from behind. A voice you've never heard whispers in your ear.
"
And the pain is gone. You're collapsed against the ground, and your hands dig into the dirt as you cough ash out of your lungs. You're soon saturated in a brilliant white light, the wounds on your body mending themselves until only light burns remain.
You look up and see a shadow of a girl, faded to the point you can't even make out her face. Her ornate white and red robes remind you of a Shrine Maiden and the ofuda she holds in her hand dissolves into motes of light.
You turn around and behind you, there's another: a faceless shadow with a forehead protector and mesh uniform. You see tufts of green hair dissolving into the mist of the substitution technique.
You were saved, something carried you away from Sugou's fire.
No... it was a substitution. Someone took your place...
"YUUKI!"
You scream out, hearing Asuna echo your cry, and look ahead in order to confirm your worst fears. Sugou never stopped, the fires he summoned were still going strong. And in your place?
Yuuki, hands held out in front of her, burning alive in front of your very eyes.
"Ahahahaha! So eager to die!? Then you can go first!" Sugou cackles, his Persona Alberich laughing in tune with his master.
You spring to your feet. You reach out with your hand. You cry out her name. But then you finally notice. The flames of Sugou, they weren't surrounding Yuuki. They were going around Yuuki.
Held out in frail hands, is a single tree branch. It's blackened with soot, the leaves that once decorated it turned to ash by the fire, and the wood itself is cracked and burnt. But the flames part around it, like a boat through the waves.
Yuuki stands strong.
"Hehehe, c'mon Sugou! Is that the best you can do!?" She coughs out, a smirk on her face. "You think a little magic trick like this is enough to scare me!? I... no... we've been through hell already! Even flames in ALO were stronger than this!"
Sugou just snarls while Queen Mab intensifies the magic of the blade. Your vision is almost completely obscured by the light of Sugou's fire. You see Yuuki take a step back, struggling to contain the power in her weak «Serene Garden» avatar.
Then the shadows around you move around her. A shrine maiden with the same shade of hair as Yuuki puts her hand on her shoulder. You can't see her face but you can't imagine she's doing anything but smiling. The ninja with green hair claps Yuuki on the back.
Yuuki raises her foot...
And takes a single step forward.
The ground below her step blossoms into a circle of light. Kanji symbols dot the circle and Yuuki's foot shifts onto the one closest to her body. That wasn't some magic circle...
No. It was a menu.
Your mind returns to that fateful day upon the sands, when you fought Yuuki for the first time. Despite fighting with a one-handed sword, she adopted a strange stance when she saw you fight back with magic. Two hands cupped around the blade, using it like a bat to deflect magic attacks.
How did she pull that off? How did she know it would work? You've seen her do that same technique time and time again, her «Spell Blast». SAO had no such ability, so where did she pull that from?
And now you have your answer.
The black branch breaks in Yuuki's hands, and in its place a simple katana with an elongated handle. The wave pattern upon its surface black as ink, its handle stained wood. She's gripping it with both hands, the flames unable to cross the edge of her black katana.
"
Yuuki, dark blue samurai armor materializing around her body, lifts her foot off the Kanji pattern inscribed on the ground. Her hands twist upward and the sword follows the motion. She lifts the katana skyward... and brings it down in a single strike.
...
"H-how!?" Sugou calls out in disbelief, the flames from his sword finally dying down. "The «Object Eraser» should destroy all items! There's nothing you can summon that it cannot destroy!"
"Isn't it obvious, Sugou?" Shiroe calls out in the white robes of his «Elder Tale» uniform.
"Hehe, I haven't had a chance to use this in a while. Behold,
"Well... there's a certain charm in nostalgia," Shiroe replies, waving his banner in front of him. "Though «Asuka Empire» is only a few months old. Hardly the pedigree of a true classic."
"That's cause you're old!" Yuuki counters, "But compared to ALO, isn't everything old?"
"I suppose it doesn't really matter," Shiroe says. "Considering ALO is entering its end of service."
You stand, shoulder to shoulder with your allies.
Yuuki, a samurai in obsidian armor, flanked by the faint echoes of her own lost family.
Shiroe, an enchanter in star white, wielding the banner from a game enjoyed by millions.
Gwen, her Persona flickering in and out of sight, ready for the final charge.
Even Asuna, rising with a shaking breath, clutches her rapier tight as she too joins the line.
The five of you stand against Sugou Nobuyuki and his artificial Fluctlight, and you feel a surge of power erupt within your heart. Despite all his powers, in the end, Sugou was alone, just like always.
But you? Whether they were old friends, new comrades, or simple allies of convenience...
You were together. Facing the same direction.
And as one you charge forward.

COMBAT PLANNING
[ ] Act Naturally.

Yuuki will Mother's Rosario Queen Mab, then use normal melee on Sugou.
Gwen will spam Agilao on Sugou.
Lux will cast Megido on Sugou.
[ ] Heal/Support.

[ ] Direct Commands
Pick TWO Skills per party member.
Designate the target of each attack.
If you pick skills from Two different Personas you assume the weakness for the scene of both Personas (this is the cost of using multiple Persona in one turn)
[ ] Write-in (1D minimum, more if trying to cram too many actions into one turn)
For write-in plans if I can justify giving ADVANTAGE I will give it. More if you try to do something very cool or narratively interesting.
Be as detailed or vague as you want.
If you just want to specify targets of attacks pick DIRECT COMMANDS then. Consider this a beefed up version of DIRECT COMMANDS. This is for Gaia attacking Floatation Rings level of nonsense.
AN: You'll automatically do the Gwen call option next phase.
Asuna is here and uh, helping. I just don't want to stat and roll another combatant. In case it wasn't terribly obvious the mechanically complex fight was OBERON, and this final fight isn't really intended to be a gameplay challenge. So more of a pick your flavor of ass kicking, I might just end the fight outright next chapter so I can wrap this up.

Even more proof that even Sugou doesn't believe this is a new world that can replace reality, but just a game
Why don't I believe you? I'm pretty sure Asuna's decision hasn't been decided yet

Shiroe debuffing Sugou to make sure the attacks hit, Gwen doing as much DPS as possible, I guess Asuna will also attack in the background.
Undine as a finisher seems neat in my opinion, maybe with a combo with Mother's Rosario just to make it more espectacular.

Oh hell yes, know your place as the starter villain, Sugou!
Now, as for how to humiliate him...
[X] Behold, a TRUE would-be God
-[X] Write-in: Operation: Emasculate and humiliate
--[X] Shiroe buffs everyone's STR and CHT while debuffing Sugou's next defense roll
--[X] Lux uses the Spurning on Sugou in an attempt to castrate him before manifesting Archon for maximum showmanship/intimidation and saying something to the following effect:
--[X] "Hah, you think you're a God of the new world, Sugou? I've only heard of the origin of this Persona secondhand, but I know that IT is more of a true God than you ever could be."
--[X] Cast Freidyne on Sugou
--[X] Gwen uses Devour to attack Sugou's crotch if the Spurning doesn't castrate him, otherwise just hit him very hard with STR attacks
--[X] Yuuki uses Suminagi followed by Mother's Rosario
We just got Archon, we might as well take it for a spin right before our Stress resets!
And I can think of no better way to humiliate Sugou than to both take away his manhood AND point out how much of a shitty 'god' he is.

I'll go for a middle road between the two plans - we'll humiliate Sugou and just completely overkill him.
[X]Plan: End of Service
-[X]Direct Commands
--[X]Lux: The Spurning (Urvashi) on Sugou -> Play With Me! (Alice)
--[X]Gwen: Guard the Orb -> Devour (Sugou)
--[X]Yuuki: Suminagi (Sugou) -> Mother's Rosario (Sugou)
--[X]Shiroe: Buff Rotation (Lux's CHT and VIT) -> Singularity (Sugou)
Action 1: Lux use The Spurning while Shiroe buffs Lux. Yuuki uses Suminagi to set up for the super turn. Gwen guards the orb because I guess theoretically if Queen Mab could crit roll against it to let Sugou fire off charm things could derail.
Action 2: Super overkill. Lux and Yuuki both come at Sugou with super moves that deal Almighty. Lux's in particular also rolls CHT so she's still benefiting from the prior CHT buff AND it's AoE AND it's a party heal AND Shiroe is debuffing Sugou. Gwen uses Devour because it feels more personal (I think Agilao is statistically superior here assuming no weakness/resists but since Sugou just used fire I will give the slightest lean towards it being a possible resist)
Shiroe's Turn 1 is actually kind of tough math-wise. I think Singularity would give Spurning a slightly better chance to hit because the DISADVANTAGE on Sugou is probably slightly better than 2 extra dice (with ADVANTAGE you'd expect +1 success from them) but since the buff to Lux's CHT will work in her favor on both actions gives it the tiebreaker, IMO. Also this wipes out all of Lux's SP but the play here is to completely overkill him. If this actually goes another turn we can just use Shiroe's equalizer or something. but i don't particularly expect him to survive this.
actually hold up. i forgot we're not at full SP so this would cost determination. i'm for style but maybe not at a determination cost
Blah, I really liked that idea too. Oh well.
[X] Behold, a TRUE would-be God
Edit: Actually, @theguynamedwafer - if you're okay with depleting Shiroe's SP here (he'd have been at 4 SP at the end of your plan anyway) it should be possible to use that 4 SP here by upgrading Buff Rotation to widespread by doubling the SP cost - in which case I'd recommend CHT and STR so it helps out Yuuki and Gwen too - if you're interested in doing that, that is.
The one downside to doing that (besides using all his SP) is that it will turn off his auto-disadvantage-an-enemy attack ability an action earlier (since it turns off at under 6 SP) but I think the benefits far outweigh that.

Changed, makes sense, as if castration is successful, Sugou will probably not be capable of doing much.

Thematically I don't think using Archon is fitting here. We already did the 'summon a real god' card with Nephren-Ka where he took Surtr's role and burned Alfheim to nothing while at the same time taking his original role in the Cthulhu mythos showing how tiny and insignificant humans are in the vast cosmos.
On the other hand, an Archon is an enforcer of a false god, a demiurge, which I think takes the wind out of our sails. I really think defeating Sugou with the power of friendship by beating him up fits better here.

Sort of the point? It's to show that even a false god is more legitimate than Sugou, and we're still beating him up with the power of friendship.
