No.

Have you ever heard a recording of your own vocalisation? Were you surprised? That's because when yous hear your vocalization normally, you hear information technology through your basic. The voice y'all hear in a recording that makes you experience uncomfortable is unmistakably your own voice. Now then, Hamiru-kun. Has hearing someone's voice over the phone e'er felt foreign to you? Exercise you know why hearing someone'due south voice over the phone sounds different than their existent voice?

I'thou impressed. That's correct. It'due south practically not even their voice anymore. To transmit information, cell phones use a certain way of encoding your phonation into digital information. And when your phone has to apply that data to reassemble a vocalization, information technology can only exercise and so much.

Maaku gains Knowledge +i.

Oh? You think you'd be able to tell if you lot were hearing a computer talking? As long equally the tone and intonation match, the listener'southward brain fills in any other differences. About of our communication is based on assumptions.
Yes, my vox just sounds like meows to people who don't know me. Geez… Assumptions are dangerous.

That's not quite the same thing, Morgana.

Nooo! I don't want my brains scrambled! Daddy! Daddy, help meeeeeee! Heh, playing Phantom Thieves at a time like this? They're cowards who ran from the police. All I practice is salvage money from idiots who'd waste product it. Guild ought to be grateful to me!

Ohya'south prepare after only one endeavour, awesome.

There's something I wanna talk to you about while we're at it.

Hamiru-san, you've improved and so much compared to when you first started. OK, allow'due south play.

Shinya Rank 10

Music: What's Going On?

Actually, yeah I did! *chuckle* Have you noticed that my playing fashion has changed? I feel calmer when I'g under pressure now. I wonder if information technology'south because I'k non so obsessed with winning anymore…

Expert for you lot, man.

Hey… I invited some people here today. They should be arriving any minute now…

Oh hey, those kids you terrorized. Good times.

Music: Sunset Bridge

I finally realized that I was beingness selfish… Please forgive me. I'll understand if you lot guys don't, just… ...I hope I'll pay dorsum the coin every bit soon as I relieve upwards plenty.
(to Quiet-looking Boy) ...Well, what exercise you lot wanna do?
……
That's all I wanted to say… Thanks for coming.

Wait! I'm non very adept at Gun About… Will you teach me how to become better?
Huh? Then…

Hey, it's the pro gamer…!
It's been a while, hasn't it, kid? You desire to play a game? I haven't faced any worthy opponents lately.

Shinya looks over to Quiet-looking Boy, who nods.

...I've gotten meliorate since we last played, you know. Now I tin can stay calm during a battle. I'one thousand gonna blast right through that pitch black armor of yours.
...So then, you believe the rumor that'south being told about me, eh? Well, a total display of my skills should put an end to that prevarication.

...Take that. Don't aim for the body… ...And that!
...Tch! This is BS!
Whoa, the gnaw tin't even get off a shot!
Takekuma'south virtually to lose! The male monarch'southward going to win!

Finish using that armor and showtime playing fair and square. Information technology's unacceptable to break the rules just to win, whether you're an developed or a child. And if you lot don't stop, I'll tell everyone.
...No, I won't acknowledge defeat! I simply tin't! It'll exist the terminate of everything!

The video's worth it just for this i line, because Takekuma sounds uncommonly whiny here.

No it won't. Your life will proceed, even later you lose. But if you don't change now, then it might really be the cease for y'all. And then no one volition be able to help you. I don't want yous to go through that.

...Is that a threat?

…… Well said… for a kid… I'm not going to enter the tournament. See ya.

The King's the new champ!
No… I'm not. I haven't won the tournament notwithstanding. Besides, information technology's thanks to you guys… that I was able to become stronger.

...I'm and then happy correct now.

I've always thought that winning was the coolest thing. Only being nice is pretty cool besides… Losing wasn't the end. Information technology was just a new commencement. Through all the pain, and with your help… I was able to change.
*nods*
Now information technology's my plow to help others. My mom, my friends… even people I don't know. I wonder… Will that help me get a member of the Phantom Thieves?

D'oh, gauge there was no betoken in trying to keep up the charade.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. …… Well, this is the last time we'll play together. There'due south nothing left to teach y'all, and the Phantom Thieves seem to be having a crude fourth dimension… Cheers… for hanging out with a lonely kid like myself. I'll go along to do my all-time. OK, put out your hand.

Music: The Spirit

Despite the plain description here, from cursory forum searching I accept discovered Oda Special really seems to do iii things. The first is exactly what this text implies, that all of your handgun bullets (so no Gun Skills, sadly) at present accept the archetype SMT skill Pierce practical to them, so they're no longer subject to enemy resistances and volition deal full harm no matter what. Drain/Repel/Null/Resist Gun are no longer a problem. This is only mildly useful, only manifestly this skill besides prevents Joker's gun attacks from missing, too. Still, not worth all that much. Alarm Shot is still Shinya's best skill by a mile. However, when I did enquiry on this skill for this update, I institute multiple sources online stating that Oda Special likewise ridiculously ups Joker's disquisitional risk with guns, to something like 80 per centum. What the fuck. And so I checked upwardly and sure plenty, I'm getting lotsocrits, simply in practice the rate is more similar fifty per centum or so. Still, abso-fucking-lutely incredible.

Anyway, Shinya'south a decent kid. I'm used to Barbara Goodson's voice for him, but it's still a little weird.

Music: Dusk Bridge

...You lot've gotten really skilful! But you'll still never be able to beat me!

Didn't you merely acquire the Of import Life Lesson that information technology doesn't actually matter?

You won't lose to anyone else though! *chuckle* I'll be supporting you, no thing what…!
Interacting with Shinya has fabricated my center abound… I feel like my Kindness has increased…

Maaku gains Kindness +3.

Bye, Shinya. Truly it was we who... got smoked.

I mean certain, that bastard pissed me off, just I never once wished he'd up and die on me.

Not fifty-fifty when he was going to murder y'all and your son? And also me?

This whole thing's been existent crazy though. I mean, Tsuda used to be the role model for upholdin' the lawmaking… I guess this is what he meant when he said times're changin…

Music: Tension

The hell're you doin…!? Y'all motherfucker! Hey, hold on!

That bastard Masa'southward abducted Kaoru!

Masa? Oh correct, him. That dude what from the diner.

He damn well meliorate be, or else Masa's a dead man! God, that piece of shit…! He knew almost Tsuda'south failure the whole fourth dimension… I bet he was just waitin' for a take a chance like this.

Right. They're over at Seaside Park. I'll catch the keys n' lock upwardly! C'monday, let'south get!

Look, why am I coming?

Music: Desire

Ahahahahaha, what is Masa doing? "Hey man, I got this pocketknife! I wanna evidence information technology to you! Just gonna hold it vaguely in the direction of your son and hopefully that works as a threat! In that location totally aren't like eight different ways for him to easily escape this situation! The devs only didn't want to go to the trouble of doing a more sensible pose? What are you talking nigh? It's probably way more than complicated than you lot're suggesting, shut up!"

Take it easy, Mune-san. All I did was give him a friendly ride home from cram school. Ain't that right, Kaoru-kun?
Dad… I'chiliad lamentable. He said he had some stuff to tell me about you lot… Then, he…
Kaoru…
Man, ain't he just a great kid?

And what're you, Mune-san'due south little errand boy? Await… I remember you. You're that weirdo from the diner.

Fuck off. I heard you the first fourth dimension.
...So, what're you gonna make me practice?
Not bad question. Y'know those modded guns you were gonna give Tsuda? It'd exist real squeamish to get my hands on 'em. At that place's a lieutenant spot open at present that Tsuda's gone, but I still need to prove my worth earlier I can become it. And y'all're gonna help me do just that.
Sorry Masa, but y'all got some existent shitty timin'. We merely broke 'em all down. In that location'south nothin' left.
You recall that'due south gonna dissuade me? ...Y'know, I know everythin' most Kaoru-kun's state of affairs.

What…!?

Dad? What does he mean!?
Don't you remember what I told you lot in the auto, Kaoru-kun? Nearly your dad? Nigh what he thinks of you?
R-Correct… I'g simply… a burden, aren't I? That's it, isn't information technology? Tell me, Dad. I can handle the truth!

You're at (very loose) knifepoint, kid. Can't nosotros have this chat some other time? Human, this is some hot fresh melodrama if I've ever seen it.

That ain't true! I'm tryin' to protect you, Kaoru!
Hey, this family bullshit is real touching n' all, simply nosotros're south'posed to be negotiatin' here, retrieve? Why don't nosotros starting time with a delivery appointment? The sooner the amend, in my book.
Y'all bastard…!
Oh, don't gimme that shit. None of this would be happenin' if yous didn't become northward' take that deviling in.
I knew it… Everything really is my mistake…
Kaoru…

Hey, what're yous 2 chattin' well-nigh over in that location?
Kaoru, listen… There's somethin' I [sic] been keepin' from you for a while at present… and you're prolly not gonna like it. Truth is, your real parents didn't dice in a car crash. You were abased past your mother when you were nevertheless a baby. That's why I took y'all in. Believe it or non… I was actually part of the yakuza dorsum then.

Oh man! I can't believe you really freakin' told him, Mune! He'southward not lyin', Kaoru. From what I heard, your mom tried to sell y'all to us just then she could get her hands on some easy drug money!
Sell me…?
Yup! Then when Mune here wasn't buyin', she just dumped you and ran! And that's how you ended up with a yakuza dad. Pretty crazy, huh!? Ahhh, that's a relief! I've been tryin' to hold that in all day long. I couldn't expect to run across the look on your confront when you found out!
……
Man, this is hilarious. Boo freakin' hoo, how distressing… Ahahaha!
Enough. All of that might be true… but information technology'south in the past now! I'one thousand not a child anymore, and I'd never let a stupid secret like that get to me!

So what if my mom dumped me!? Or if my dad was part of the yakuza!? We might not be related by blood, but nosotros're connected by the gecko…! So yous know what? I don't care what you have to say about us! I'chiliad me, and Munehisa Iwai… is my dad!

You seriously still don't go it, do y'all? Kaoru-kun's--

Music: Tension

Oh shit, Tsuda! Also, he's not even holding the knife on the same side of his torso as you anymore, Kaoru. Just fucking run away.

T-Tsuda… I mean, sir!?
Don't give me that. I know yous ratted me out to the boss. Yous never take been good at keeping your mouth close.
North-No, it wasn't me!
Uh-huh. And what do you lot think you're doing waving that knife around? Huh!?

Your child's got guts, Mune. Like father like son, huh?
Looks like it. Then, what now?
Well, I'll start by making this idiot repay his debts. I haven't thought much nearly what comes subsequently. All I really know is… this is where we say goodbye, Mune.
...Take care, brother.
Let'due south go.

Music: Sunset Bridge

And now that Masa's busy digging his own shallow grave, time for a family unit conversation.

Yeah. I was a little agape… but it's all better at present.

Y'know, I've been so busy makin' certain he doesn't terminate up like me that I forgot to see who he's actually becomin'. Heh… I can't believe I'm only just realizin' this now. Hehe… And it's all thanks to yous, kid. I appreciate it… for real.
It feels like my bond with Iwai is growing fifty-fifty deeper...

Hey, all that excitement made me super hungry… Why don't nosotros become back to that diner?

You guys are gonna fuckin' hate me for this, only uh… tomorrow was actually the date I had decided we would go into the Palace near an in-game week in accelerate. And even if it wasn't, we don't need points with Haru, we're full up on social stats, and there'south merely no practiced reason to waste a day hanging out when we could exist ranking someone upwardly. I'm sorry. But, then, why choose "Decide later"? Well… yous'll encounter.

Thank you, everyone.

Music: Tokyo Emergency
