I've said it before and I'll say it again, but one of the best parts of Limbus Company is that PM are really good at writing insane comedy moments by playing off of how every single Sinner is deranged.
Legend of Ruina
Growing eyes on the inside
Honestly I would argue Canto 2 feels like some of its issues come from being half Intervallo now that one has been seen. It leans far more into the wacky hijinks side of things than most Cantos, being clearly designed as a breather between 1's utter failure, and 3's mountain of bodies and trauma.
There's exposition on Sinners, with an emphasis on Rodion, but there's far less resolution, it adds balls to the air, but doesn't catch any really.
That's not to say it's bad, but it very much feels like Intervallos are designed to allow that sort of thing to occur in the story, without the need for a Sinner's development to be sacrificed. Admittedly not all of them are high hijinks like this one, but it's a noteworthy parallel to me.

TBF I think that was kind of the point. Taken together, Cantos 1, 2, and 3 form a rising arc in terms of how the Sinners interact with the realisation that they're facing their past. Greg submits entirely and doesn't even bother trying to fight, Rodya acknowledges that someday she may be able to resist but for the moment is too wrapped up in the idea that she deserves her suffering, and Sinclair manages to resist but fails to find the inner strength he needs to truly overcome it.
I wouldn't so much say that Rodya's stuff lacked resolution as a consequence of Canto 2 having a bunch of wacky shit, I think that it was just what they were always planning on doing with her.

It really isn't that hard to not post spoilers, c'mon.
Yeah, thoought some of the smaller parts where already covered, I will wait for it to be covered in detail before bringing it up again, sorry. I just reliazed that it was a really curious topic that I did not beleive was covered anywhere else.
So this is not no content, and to perfectly dodge spoilers, how effective is out N-corp team here given the negative coins and sanity mechnics to fight sanity mechanics?

Well, N Corp only has a single negative coin ID, with a notable exception: N Corp Meursault can regularly solo just about anything he can survive through the power of FOOLISHNESS! Literally, that's the name of his counterattack that has 15 base with a -5 coin, and grants [Combat Start] 1 Protection, uncapped! As a solo Meursault begins to build up more coin slots he can eventually be reducing all damage by 90%, as his 4 Wrath Resonance Passive 'Obsessive Hammer' gives him +3 more Protection, 1 Fanatic, 1 Attack Power Up, and one negative status effect cleanse*! Also, cleanse aside, counterattacks don't even proc bleed.
*- Cleanses are insanely rare in Limbus so far and mostly appear on Meursault-related items so I want to call special attention to that.
But yeah N Corp can actually work very well for countering all of this, since you also (potentially) have Kromer-Faust's 'Whistles' passive to offset the SP losses, NClair for slamming on the 'I WANT to lose SP' button, and the Großhammer soaking all the hits nobody else wants.
So a notable thing that is now out of spoiler territory helps confirm this, IMO. If you go back and listen to the end credits song, Sarajinae / Pass On, for these Canto? The versions we've heard so far (for Gregor, Rodion, and Sinclair) all share one very weird trait: The last few notes of the song are not played by instruments normally. They have been replayed backwards from a separate recording, the notes and audio clearly reversed.
Instead of closing the musical phrase being played (usually referred to as 'resolving' it), this leaves it open and awkward and strange, as if something is spoiled or twisted. Because of this, I'm 99.9% certain that Project Moon is signalling that none of these character arcs are properly resolved either. We'll have to see how the song is treated in future Cantos to make comparisons as-needed!

I think the literal funniest possibilities in the world are that he's either *been paying his bills and taxes* for five months as a heavily distorted chicken man, or that somewhere out there a Claw had to stop, look at him, and decide he didn't want to deal with this.
Meanwhile, Telemachus, getting a cold shiver down their spine;
Still. I don't think I've ever heard anyone bring up Anticlea before, but that does make a lot of sense as a one-two whammy; the thing I've always thought or seen people bring up is Outis's maybe-son, gender currently unknown and existence unverified, and speculating that Outis reminds Eubong of his mother.

The former is more likely, he can still communicate after all and I do think the Head would have a convenient tool to aid with that.
Although that begs the question how does one pay taxes in the city?

Presumably in ahn? Digital banking in the city is probably going to be as horrific as anything else in that place. Maybe B-Corp administers it?
Edit: Or there could be some kind of codeword you say over a pile of money and the head teleports it.

with money, to the head.
Sounds good on paper but wasn't the biggest issue with N-Meursault (And literally every other tank IDs) was their depressing speed ranges? So even if they were tanky, if the enemy was faster than Meursault he could never intercept attacks. Of course with the new "defensive stance" fixes a lot of issues and be just the thing tanks need to be consistent in future content.

It's a lot less of an issue than you may have been led to believe, especially with the theoretical NSault Solo and the fact that most of these are NOT Focused Encounters. As such speed doesn't really matter (as much) and Meursault is free to exist across several coin slots and soak a ton of hits by simply Being Present. Most critically though?
Headchickens have DOGSHIT speed ranges.
Even the most dangerous Bongy known to man, the dread Master Chef (in dur soder) himself, has an actively worse speed range than Meursault's N Corp identity... although it's a tight race between 2-5 and 3-5. Every other variant Headchicken has a WORSE speed than that, going as low as literally 1-2. So yeah, even the game's slowest tanks can reliably pull a lot of heat in these fights.

I've read another theory on why Outis' dish partially opened his heart: her decorating of the dish to make it look like a clock also made it look like a pizza, triggering his latent memories of his mother. Which is honestly as dumb as absolutely hilarious and thus would fit perfectly in this Intervalo!
my favourite theory is that he was so sick of the sinners and their cooking he forcefully opened his own heart so he wouldn't have to deal with them any longer, they annoyed him into submission

cant it just be that it was cooked with a mothers love?
Oh, that's a good thought.
Odysseus has a son. Outis, presumably, as well. That could very well be the reason. Channeling love for Anticlea is one thing. Love for Telemachus is another.

the best part of the mothers love theory imo is how it implies that outis is being 100% entirely genuine.
That does remind me, how did this guy get a concept incinerator anyway? Is it that accessible that any wealthy person could just buy one? Sounds like a big security risk to let something like this thrown around.

This may be connecting too many dots but what I always inferred from the scene with Samjo at the end of the Intervallo is that the manager of Bodhisattva Chicken used a Concept Incinerator already owned by K Corp that he had access to as an employee, but he's about to get his ass seared about it, because not only did he use a very expensive piece of company technology he wasn't officially authorised to (as he did it out of desperation to meet quota from corporate) but he got caught doing it (hence Samjo's "if you're going to rob a house, make sure the homeowner never knows you did it" comment).
'Is that accessible to any wealthy person' yes, the rich get to do as many warcrimes they want in the City, as a treat. But as Faust said, the range on a Concept Incinerator is finite and set by the overall quality of the machine, so it doesn't truly warp reality and mostly serves to ruin individual lives without any wider societal ramifications.

Just want to note that Don picked up the habit of adding in English words because her VA apparently does that in real life. Apparently she did it in recording and they liked it enough that it started becoming something Don does every once in a while.
