This might sound hopelessly naive to us living in the real world but take a step back from cynicism for a moment and really consider what he’s saying. It seems that Maruki was once researching something in the field of psychology.Īs the player and Maruki develop their Confidant relationship, he goes on to talk about how he wishes that we could put medicine on emotional pain the way one puts antibiotics on a scratch.
But soon, the topic of his “research” comes up. Initially, Maruki and the player talk about general psychological topics like dealing with adversity and stress.

I’ll be looking at his character, his abilities, his backstory, his point of view, and the themes in play during his story.Īs such, this article will spoil some significant portions of Persona 5 Royal.īut if you’ve played the game or just don’t care, don’t let that stop you. In this article, I aim to break down what exactly makes him such a great antagonist worthy of standing proudly amongst the best that JRPGs have to offer. (I’ll be referring to the game as P5R from now on, okay? Okay.) The character I am referring to is the final boss of Persona 5 Royal, Takuko Maruki. Or maybe he just needs a day in the limelight for more people to see what a great antagonist he is. Maybe he’s underrated or underappreciated. So in this article, I’m going to highlight one boss that, while fantastic, doesn’t really seem to come up in the conversations of great JRPG bosses. However, many of them are already very well known and celebrated. There are plenty of memorable and legendary villains from the long and storied history of the genre.
We’ve covered plenty of different bosses from many different types so far but one type of game we’ve not touched yet is JRPGs.
