"Our leader's gone through shit cause of you, it's on!!!!" If you have a friend like that, you have everything.

Joker: "Why won't you DIE?" Shido: "Cognitive psience, son"

The 1v1 between Joker and Shido makes the fight feel really intense, and fun

The moment he took out the team leaving Joker standing and then the moment Joker thought, "..I have to finish this myself." I was determined to beat this guy.

Shadow Shido: “Making the mother of all omelettes here, Joker. Can't fret over every egg.”

Shido: "This time, I'll be dead certain to seal your fate." Also Shido: *Heals Joker*

The Joker vs Shido 1 on 1 is such a tiny addition but it is one of my favorite additions to this game. It was such a shock and so fitting for the fight and with Rivers in the Desert in the background. Even if Joker is a bit of a self insert for the player, I really feel like things in Royal like this gave him a more defined character. I got chills reading “I have to finish this myself.”

Damn that Joker solo feels so GOOD! He earned that. Especially love how Shido is so utterly pissed about that One kid from over a year ago Standing up to him this much.

"I won't go easy!" *heals Joker*

Futaba: You took everything from me! Shido: I don't even know who you are...

Fun fact on that solo fight: Just spam Magic Ointment and he kills himself trying to kill Joker. Yes, he's just that bad because he just uses Magic to attack him there. No Physicals, no Almighty, and he simply has no other ways to get around that.

He lost because he didn’t take his nanomachines

Bruh that final phase is literally Metal Gear Rising

I love how Shido forces Joker to fight him 1 on 1 at the end. He doesn't know the others, so they are meaningless to him. Joker on the other hand, has personally met Shido and is a loose end he didn't take care of. For Shido, Joker is very personal. He's basically saying "Back off, this one (joker) is mine. I don't want you all, I want him, and just him"

"I, Masayoshi Shido, have a dream!" *"I, [Protagonist], will make it a nightmare."*

17:38 We interrupt Persona 5 to bring you the ending of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

“... I have to finish this myself.” Solo Joker runs: “YA DON’T SAY.”

Me during phase 1: “This party’s getting crazy! Let’s rock!” Me during phase 2: *Uncontrollable screaming*

Nice how Shido makes it a personal conflict with that brief 1v1 at the end. ... oh right Yaldy is next.

"Our leader has gone through shit because of you IT'S ON! Ryuji is defenetly a true bro to Joker

17:44 It seems appropriate that these two are fighting Shido by themselves.

18:44 **RIVER IN THE DESERT UP TO MAX VOLUME**

What I wouldnt give to forget everything about this game and play it again

"defeats Shido" Joker:Thats for sueing me, damn politician.

NANOMACHINES, SON

5:31 look at Joker he's facing the wrong way someone please fix that

Remember when we thought this was actually the final boss

Me playing through for the first time: "Well they revamped all the boss fights so I wonder how they'll make Shido's better." *Shido blows everyone away to 1v1 you* They significantly made this fight more hype than it already was.

Shido: *sees joker get trapped by the cheese trap* In his mind: DAMN RAT I’LL SUE

i love that the 1v1 fight with shido made things more personal for joker

SOMEONE’S GOTTA STEER THIS COUNTRY, JACK

Fighting shido solo here at the end was the most bad ass shit ever, it lasted long af for me cause I was on hard mode and I almost died, what got me was the moment Joker thought to himself "I have to finish this myself" that shit had me jumping I'm like, "ITS FROM THE ANIME A 1V1" shit had me fucking lit event though the anime ain't the best it did some things right

When the fight turned into a good 1v1, I won’t lie I screamed “LET’S FUCKING GO!”

Shido makes it a 1v1 Joker: I’m gonna end this mans whole career

Now he really is Armstrong, he even boxes you in with a fire wall he summons by punching the ground

"Making the mother of all Persona's here Joker, can't fret over every failed attempt!"

you know, this fight was already incredible in the original but the addition of that 1v1 between shido & joker in royal made this battle by far one of my favourites in all of gaming. it’s so goddamn intense

Love Keith Silversteins voice acting 👌🏻

The timing of “Rivers in the Desert” when the cutscene before the 1-on-1 fight happened could not have been more perfect!

Bastard made me look up the word "mineuta".

That section where it’s just you against the man who ruined your life honestly made this the most intense fight in the game

My first run through, I found that Cross slash on Izanagi Picaro, when you power yourself up and debuff them, could easily do like 3000 damage in one go on almost anything. I brought this to the Shido fight with Ann, Ryuji and Makoto basically equipped for survival, buffing, and debuffing... Seeing the 3000 just drop Shido straight from lion to pyramid (skipped griffon entirely) was just BEAUTIFUL

If only you hit his final transformation right at the drop.

As somebody who is a sucker for moments where an MC faces their arch enemy by themselves, the last phase of this boss had me even more hyped than I already was 🔥

Royal has convinced me that some of the devs over at Atlus are huge closeted fans of Metal gear Solid. First, you have the additions to Senator Shido boss fight, where if the Armstrong comparisons were not as strong enough as is, you have a flaming 1v1 involving punch attacks. Then you have the very last stage of the final boss, which references a boss fight from MGS 4

Ryuji would never be able to step on the pyramid during Showtime.

Shido is by far the best antagonist in videogame history. Never before have I been so motivated to take out a villain. Not only did he ruin joker's life, he's either directly or indirectly responsible for ruining everyone's lives in the phantom thieves: 1. He funded the principle and forced him to stay quiet about Kamoshida, harming Ryuji and Ann 2. He arranged for the death of Makoto's father 3. He arranged for the death of Haru's father 4. He arranged for the death of Futaba's mother 5. He funded and encouraged Madarame to continue ruining Yusuke's life. He wasn't just evil, it actually felt personal.

Joker: Matarukaja! Shido: *no*

This is a far more fitting end to this fight

If I had a Dime for every time a Politician roided up and beat the shit out of me... I'd have 3 dimes but it's weird it happened 3 times (Shido, Haggar and Armstrong)

Joker Vs Shido. This is like the final battle with Link vs Ganon in Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess

Everyone else speaking about how intense & perfect the showdown between a solo Joker & Shido was, meanwhile I’m just mad I literally just wasted a full HP & SP recovery ointment on Makoto, Morgana, & Ryuji. *I did love the fight though*

I over levelled myself by grinding reaper and I fought him. Used charge and then God's hand on with Joker not knowing he reflected physical. One of my only game overs playing p5

I'm not going to lie, that 1v1 between Akira and Shido caught me off guard the first play through. I was able to beat him but it was intense.

I remember this fight when I first played the original P5 a long time ago, I was a lot younger so I didn't fully understand the combat systems or anything, I was there for the ride. This fight kicked my ass and I loved it. It was so difficult for me, and that tension that keeps rising as he keeps getting stronger and having more phases to him and the visuals of you against this mega buff guy at the top of the world as the city falls around you, hOOOO that's some good stuff.

I was hoping so hard that Akechi would come out of nowhere during the last phase and fight alongside Joker.

That 1v1 is such a simple addition yet it is FUCKING PERFECT It makes that last part so intense. I was hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. Story wise it is brilliant as well.

In my opinion this is on of the most epic boss fights in videogame-history: The Story, the characters, the setting and the multiple phases of the fight fit so perfectly. And not to forget the badass, ass-kicking music. When the lyrics start kicking in, it just gives me goose-bumps. And the end, when Joker is facing his arch-enemy 1vs1 is the Definition of epic!

Honestly, "Collective Consioness" and "It has to be this way" from MGR:R fits first and second phases of fight quite well.

I can’t be the only one who thought of Raiden vs senator Armstrong when I saw that final phase.

I'm still glad Japan now has their own version of senator Armstrong, remember to thank the dev's that gave us these beautiful (if sometimes true) satarizations of politicians

gotta love that OST.

Love the fact that in the royal version you get to have a 1v1 with shido it really made the fight satisfying

Makato : “ *TIME TO DIE* “ Ryuji : W-wait! *Shadow Shido Dies* Me : Makato Jinxed it-

I started screaming when it was a 1V1 bc I had no healing moves and Morgana was my healer and I thought I was going to die but luckily I somehow survived and beat him first time 😂

Due to me being a silly boi I decided to use Ariadne's attack that greatly decreases your damage thinking the fight would be over very soon. then my team left. I had to block and hope for the best that he would use attacks I could reflect.

That pose Shido does in the 1 vs 1, I wonder if that is a reference to Yujiro Hanma from Baki

18:10 I had this on loop for an hour

you know, Maruki and Jaldabaoth where great bosses and all(not jaldaboath), but it would’ve have been so cool if shido was the final boss

Mans legit is just armstrong

It was really an "oh shit" moment when it became a solo. But it became lame when you realize nothing's stopping you from reflecting all his attacks

I suddenly smiled and chuckled when his 2nd phase pops up and I was like, "Wait, am I really playing Persona 5 here or am I playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance?!" And then when he suddenly punches the ground, with sudden geysers around us, and my teammates left me to go one-on-one with Shido, suddenly I was laughing and said, "Yep, this is Metal Gear Rising, alright..." and started singing It has to be this way... xD

“How bout another joke Shido? What do you get when you cross a group of mentally I’ll loners WITH A SOCIETY THAT ABANDONS THEM AND TREATS THEM LIKE TRASH?! I’ll tell you what you get! YOU GET WHAT YOU FRICKIN DESERVE!”

I nearly had a panic attack when it went 1v1. Luckily my modified Rangda drained his Tyrant's Judgement every time.

The music of this battle says it all, 10/10

So Shido is totally Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising right?

Bruh I was listening to this in the background while I was playing the game and the music was 100% SYNCED WTF

As soon as this fight turned into a 1v1, all that went through my head was “You’re the one person I REFUSE to lose to!” I only just managed to defeat him, my first playthrough. I was NOT expecting Royal to create such a twist in this fight! But it made things much more personal! Loved it!

Azrael from Blazblue: He's stolen my meanising pose, he must be a worthy opponent!

ANN , MORGANA, MAKOTO, JOKER. Joker (SURT with blazing hell and TITANIA with concentrate ). And some SP increase vitamins are the best possible way to defeat shido. Keep on increasing defense using makoto, increase HEALTH using mona and decrease shido attack using ANN. Now use concentrate on joker and in next turn use blazing hell. It might cost 5 SP, but depending upon your level it is very much effective 👍👍

I'm getting a lot of Pillar Men vibes from this guy.

Shido was only difficult the first time I played it on normal, by my second run I beat him on merciless with joker only

STANDING HERE, I REALIZE

On the 1v1 part of the fight, I discovered the persona I had had an immunity to whatever Tyrant’s judgement was. So glad too because I had to leave to work in a matter of a few minutes.

I dont know why but i really adore all these Tyrant Moves. Satanael: Tyrants Mind Shido Palace Ring: Tyrants Will Shido himself: Tyrants fist, purge, glare, judgement, wave... Its like they give shootouts to the Tyrant Race in SMT. Especially that joker himself seems to be a Tyrant even though he opposes Shido and is a Hero. Its as if he stole the entire Name for itself in Tyrants Mind in Satanael.

I just beat him on my first playthrough. Too bad i figured out how to spawn satan and itemize him for his armor. Made this fight too easy, kinda regret it.

MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL PALACES JOKER, CANT FRET OVER EVERY HEART

1:21 one of my favorite Ryuji lines in Persona 5

19:13 Hold on....that stance? That's the Hanma Yujiro special!

The fight on vanilla was so damn hard I damn near got my ahh beat by the golden lion and Shido pulls out 4 different stages shii had me fearful 😭😭

The entire fight he uses phisical attacks but in that last 1v1 moment

God I remember going into this blind with low HP and SP, desperately switching Personas to try and counter Shido’s skills while thinking “I seriously cannot mess this up.”

I did not expect to have to fight him one on one. He spammed charge, almighty attacks and that judgement fist of his. I won through a sad combination of heal, block, heal, attack, rinse and repeat. Felt a bit repetive doing the same chain six times but at least he's down. Stronger Personas next time.

Damn that damage, just defeated him at level 65 on merciless and just doing 90-140 damage :(

18:40 Oracle: Joker, please don’t lose! Joker: ’…I have to finish this myself’ *FLASHBACK* Akechi: “Change Shido’s heart…… in my stead….. End his crimes……. PLEASE!” *FLASHBACK* Sumi: “But you have to promise me this: You’ll come back safe no matter what! I don’t ever want to feel as…. horrible as I did when I thought you….” *FLASHBACK ENDS* Joker: ‘shakes head’ “I made a promise… and I’m NOT going to let someone like YOU break that promise!” That’s what I thought about when fighting Shido on the 1 vs 1 phase of the fight. Joker made a promise to finish this fight with Shido no matter what and to come back safely and Shido deserved every bit of Joker’s rage after all he made the kid go through.

I bobbed my head to the music constantly even though he was wiping out my party.

This song is one of the hypest in the whole game to me and is prolly my favorite other than Life Will Change.

8:38 THIS LINE IS SO FUCKING COOL DUDE IT GIVES ME CHILLS EVERYTIME I HEAR IT

“Our leader’s gone through shit cause of you, ITS ON!!” Freaking love the delivery
