The Past returns (1 Year blog special)

Lightning cracks across the sky just like it had done last year.  The wind blows rapidly as trees sway while someone works on their computer, Akira has returned. His finger clack away at his keyboard as he chomps down cheeseballs. There seems to be an odd celestial event occurring, the sky swirls a bit as it looks like rain is about to break from the sky, but it does not.

Akira: The Samidare Paradox should allow for a weakening of the temporal barrier, at least temporarily.

He decides to test it, Akira creates another doorway, and focuses on a moment in the past before plucking someone and dropping them in 2022. As the mist subsides, a man with oddly shaped hair drops his knife on the ground.

What is this place?

Hello Mikado Shinsen..or should i say, chairman of the Victims Catharsis Committee?

His cold eyes look around the world. Something has changed, time had marched on.

So: The disaster which was foretold of came to pass?

Yes. Junko Enoshima rose like a force of nature...

he pauses as he looks at Akira.

If i were alive, she wouldn’t have. The Apex Detective would have sought to her demise. That was Samidare’s problem, she proclaimed to be about the greater good, but when push came to shove, she decided to save one life over billions.

If the Detective King Couldn’t stop her, then how could you?

I had connections, dear boy, an entire network of recruiters, judges, politicians, union bosses and oh so much more in my back pocket.

So, we should just kidnap Yui right?

No. We should set in moment an event to truly engineer her downfall. Not as fancy as kidnapping her and her loved ones, but one to truly end her career as a detective, thus calling into every case she’s ever been involved in, and once that’s over, she’ll beg to be sent back to where she came from.

However, the sky soon became unstable. The fabric of time was starting to unravel, the just didn’t know it yet.

[スタオケ] La Corda d'Oro Starlight Orchestra Birthday Greetings Translation

*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut* *T/N: It's my birthday tomorrow so I figured I'd do this set of greetings first

❖ Kujo Sakuya:

Sakuya: It's your birthday today, right? Happy birthday. Here, I got you a gift.

Sakuya: I know what you like and dislike, but only because I'm almost always with you daily. Although… I wasn't expecting you to be so happy just from a gift, so it looks like it was a good idea after all.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Narumiya Tomoharu:

Tomoharu: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Did I catch you by surprise? Hehe, I wanted to be the first one to wish you a happy birthday.

Tomoharu: I've been looking forward to celebrating the day you were born into this world.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Ryuzaki Hayate:

Hayate: Happy birthday. I'm glad to be able to spend this special day with you.

Hayate: I hope you'll have a fruitful year!

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Ichinose Ginga:

Ginga: Here, a present from yours truly. It's your birthday today, isn't it? Happy birthday.

Ginga: Nonsense, there's no way I'd ever forget about it. Haven't I been celebrating your birthday with you every year? I've done it before, I've done it now, and I'll continue doing so for years to come.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Kousaka Rei:

Rei: Happy birthday.

Rei: Today's the day you were born— a special day that only comes once a year. Let's make the most out of it.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Kirigaya Akira:

Akira: It's an odd thing, really. Today had originally been a day like any other to me. But look at me now, with cake and a present in hand.

Akira: After meeting you, this day has turned into an occasion to celebrate. Happy birthday.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Osakabe Seiji:

Seiji: Oh? It's your birthday today? Happy birthday. *Chuckles* Why, don't you look unsatisfied?

Seiji: Keep your window unlocked tonight. There are way too many people in Linden Hall for us to celebrate, so why don't we go for a drive along the bay’s coastline?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Yumihara Lynn:

Lynn: Happy birthday, Concertmistress. Hey, I know you're happy, but remember to keep yourself tethered, alright?

Lynn: Why? …Well, that's because… you're way too adorable when you're over the moon… so much that I don't want anyone else to be seeing you in that state…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Haruna Ryusei:

Ryusei: Happy birthday. It's fun to ponder over what sort of birthday cake would strike your fancy, Concertmistress.

Ryusei: I hope you like it. Perhaps we can go to the store together next time if you do.

Souji: Happy birthday. May this year bring you endless joy.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Minami Otone:

Otone: It's your birthday today! Happy birthday~ That's a big grin on your face!

Otone: And here's your present! A painting of you and the sea, and a seashell keychain~

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Washigami Genichiro:

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Sasazuka Hajime:

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Nishina Ryosuke:

Ryosuke: Happy birthday, Concertmistress. I'm not planning on letting you go today. Or so, I'd love to say, but wouldn't you be troubled if I did?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Shinomori Kazuma:

Kazuma: As a member of staff, I generally refrain from celebrating a student’s birthday, so…

Kazuma: Please go celebrate it with the members of your orchestra. I’m sure they have plenty of good things to say about how hard you’ve been working.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Tsukishiro Kei:

Kei: I’ve freed up my schedule for the whole of today. It’s your birthday today, right? There’s no way I’d forget.

Kei: I’ll hold a solo recital, just for you. Name it, and I’ll play you anything you want.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Tatsumi Eiichi:

Eiichi: Please accept this rose. I have been ordered by Kei-sama to wish you a happy birthday.

Eiichi: Did you really buy into that? Now, I wonder what sort of expression you'd wear if I told you that I’m here because I wanted to see you?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Domoto Taiga:

Taiga: Here you go. If my memory serves right, it’s your birthday today, isn’t it?

Taiga: It’s just a little something that I thought would suit you. I’ll be glad if you use it, of course, but feel free to toss it away if you don’t need it.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Ugajin Issei:

Issei: Happy birthday! The Ugajin family motto is to celebrate all birthdays with a big bang. So… Ta-Da! Look what I've prepared for you!

Issei: It's a gold leaf cake. I stuck the gold leaves on, of course. And you're gonna have a brilliant year from now on, because I’ve blessed you with a happy birthday, yeah?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

❖ Ugajin Nanase:

Nanase: Here, take this. What is it, you ask? I'm sure you can see it for yourself. It's your birthday present.

Nanase: I've been grateful for all your help. And I should repay you in kind for your kindness, after all. Erm… congratulations on another year in life.

This is a preface to him asking you to do quests because most people dont care--love this because the Bartender is a neurisher, and he still holds on to his human will too, more similiar to the rare demonoids that also are slightly different

Both are quite defined by a lack of will and i just aaaaa

Also this implies there are still other Intruders around..... I want info on that but that is NOWHERE

And why no one can use the DSP :)

[dagdasgodslayer]

you are so right random youtube comment

[ghostingkai]

I'm bored of Twitter and don't really post there much, so idk maybe I'll start using this blog more. I just want to talk about the spoilers so far for ch145--

OBLIGATORY: None of these details are confirmed until the actual chapter comes out, I'm basing a lot of my opinions on conversations from people who have already seen the chapter. What I've seen so far:

-There's a mirror world, though whether it's actually happening is unclear, it could simply be an illusion or a creation by Mikuni

-Touma is wearing a wedding ring?! AND DRIVING A FAMILY CAR? Has a son named Touma Mahiru?!?! WHAT?

-Touma and Tsurugi apparently don't know each other in this mirror world, it's unclear if Tsurugi is even around at all

-Someone mentioned something about "Shirota Mahiru" being unable to do magic, unlike "Touma Mahiru." I would love to see mirror world Mahiru as a training magician, that would be fascinating

-It honestly sounds like Touma has a happy and normal family life, which is just... what the hell is happening in this series anymore, I love it

-Some people have speculated that Misono is supposed to be born 'later' in the mirror world. Not sure if this is just their assumptions, or if that's really what Mikuni's plan is -- to create a world where Misono is never born to Mikado, so that Mikuni can father him later in life (even typing that has me dying lmao)

-Someone else mentioned Mikuni giving a mirror as his contract item (I'm assuming he was giving it to the Count, but that part wasn't mentioned)

"In the mirror world, where 'Shirota Mahiru' is actually 'Touma Mahiru'..."

Umm, excuse me, WHAT? WHAT IS THIS? So, assuming this works the way it sounds like it works -- Mikuni has either awakened the Count and managed to recreate an alternate timeline, or he's using some type of magic/illusion to show everyone what would happen in his ideal world. Either way, I'm referring to it as "Mikuni's mirror world" and I'm not gonna think about it too much farther than that until I've read the chapter myself >u>

First of all -- the idea of Touma being in a marriage with Akira is absolutely wild. Actually, thinking about Touma being happy is wild in itself lol. It sounds like he's part of an actual family unit, which I'm dying to see, but at the same time, it also sounds like he never actually met Tsurugi in the mirror world.

My initial assumption was that the mirror world was Mikuni's creation, and that the reason Touma ends up with Akira there is because Mikuni is, in his own way, trying to "correct" the lies that eventually brought everything to its current state.

But thinking about it more, I suppose it's also possible that if Mikuni truly is responsible for creating a world where Touma has a family, his reasoning could have simply been to deter Touma from pursuing his goal of resurrecting the Count himself.

It was mentioned in an earlier chapter that Mikuni and Lily involved Mahiru in everything because they were hoping that Touma would be unwilling to harm or kill his son in order to get to Kuro. When they realized they were wrong (VERY wrong lmao,) it's possible Mikuni thought that the world's "second round" would go much smoother if Touma didn't feel the need to resurrect the Count -- or if he had a closer bond with Mahiru. No one posting spoilers has mentioned if Mahiru even contracted with Kuro in this mirror world, so it's hard to say at this point.

I don't know... this is all just word of mouth at this point, but I am DYING to see this chapter. Did Tsurugi just not exist in this world? Or is he still there, walking around, with no bond to Touma whatsoever?

I don't know what's wrong with Mikuni anymore, and I'm done trying to figure it out, but omg it sounds like he's really fucking things up, and I'm here for it lol.

[cake-apostate]

An idea I think would be fun is that centuries after the events of SMT4, Blasted and Infernal Tokyo both become evil empires. They idolized their version of King Akira, and took their stated ideologies to the limits with neither nuance nor restraint.

That's not to say that either Akira did a bad job; they did what was necessary at the time to save their people from disaster. It's just that if you took their actions without knowing that context, they would look incredibly evil.

So I think that their kingdoms would become evil empires if their future rulers continued their policies well beyond the states of emergency that spawned them.

Infernal Tokyo

Infernal Akira would seem like a cartoonishly evil overlord if you didn't know where he was coming from. Under his rule, humans are cattle to be eaten and bred, demons run a kind of protection racket, and he calls this equality. He even killed the previous king! And given that he's a coward and a weakling at the top of a society that values strength above all else, he'd seem a massive hypocrite.

Except most of the problems with Infernal Tokyo aren't his fault. Kenji was the one to start the demonoid/neurisher system; the worst you can say about Akira is that he didn't abolish it. And he couldn't. The obviously good step of freeing the neurishers would be disastrous; either the demonoids comply and starve, or they'd rebel openly, which would leave Akira powerless and the neurishers right where they started.

Akira found and enforced the minimum level of cruelty required for his current society to function. To many outsiders, that level is shockingly evil, but he's loved in his time because it's so much lighter than before.

Future generations would idolize King Akira, not unjustly, but it's easy for them to miss the point. He didn't draft a blueprint for some ideal society; he wrote laws and regulations to deal with the current disasters plaguing his city. Let's look at the specific orders he gave, and how future generations can screw them up.

Every district takes a census, and if they need Neurishers, more are sent there. That is how he ended both famine and war; districts fought over and hoarded Neurishers until he distributed them equally. It also sets up precedent for future kings to arbitrarily separate families or rip people from their homes.

Neurishers are mandated to be drank from every other day. In his time, that's a huge load off because they were drained every day, all day. But in the future, there might be so many Neurishers that forcing all of them to work half the time is seen as gluttonous, or maybe there's a future where Neurishers are required to work on top of providing Magnetite ever other day.

Some Neurishers are assigned to breed and make as many babies as possible. It's to ensure the survival of humanity, but even Akira's sorry about it. If the population stabilizes within his lifetime, I can see him easing back on this, but if he doesn't...

This isn't necessarily an order, but Akira's subordinates from Kasumigaseki wound up killing Demonoids who refused to follow him. That can easily turn into death squads killing those suspected to be disloyal.

Blasted Tokyo

Blasted Akira doesn't do anything evil. It wouldn't help his situation. But he does give Flynn and co. a speech about how he's going to use the demons from the Expanse to rebuild the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado; judging by the DLC, he did a good job building cities before the Ancient of Days blasted it back into desert.

Enslaving demons to build your city isn't any more morally objectionable than what your average SMT protagonist gets up to. What might get spicy is if future generations start seeing that anyone who comes through the portal is a 'demon' to be enslaved, even if they're human.

So this hypothetical evil empire would be, well, an empire. It rules over vassal states that are forced to give tribute, regards noncitizens as nonhuman, and the central state contributes nothing of value.

In King Akira's time, there was nothing they could produce. They lived in a desert and burned Pluto corpses for fuel. If they didn't steal, they'd have nothing. By the time the land is arable once more, agriculture might not be as easy or profitable as piracy, so the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado continues as an interdimensional demon summoning pirate state well beyond its need to be one.

On a semirelated note, Blasted Akira only gets a speech about his ideals and how he's going to reform the city, while Infernal Akira gets a whole bunch of NPCs saying what he already did and how. I think it's because we need a lot more assurance that Infernal Akira is doing the right thing, considering both his personality and the whole 'demonoid and neurisher' thing.

King Aquila of Mikado

Now let's reverse it with King Aquila. We know how Mikado turned out after 1500 years after he created the country, and we see his orders, but why did he make them? What context was lost to time?

Let's start with the part of the Samurai Code that forbids them from entering Tokyo, and how Aquila assigned the Minotaur as gatekeeper. From Nanashi's flashbacks, we know Aquila always intended for Mikado to unite with Tokyo, so why stop them?

Look at the plaque in front of the Hall of the Minotaur. It says, "Those who serve God Almighty: Thou shalt not proceed beyond this door." It sounds like Aquila isn't necessarily trying to stop the Samurai, but those who would follow the Monastery's orders. My guess is that he suspected that some fanatics would try to purge Naraku of the Unclean Ones, and the sign is for them.

I've heard a theory that the stark Luxuror/Casualry split was deliberately created to foster dissatisfaction, so that the Casualries would eventually rebel.

I also think that Aquila tried to amp up Mikado's food production to be much greater than their current population, to feed the future Tokyo emigres.

On a semirelated note, for fanfic purposes, I like the idea that Aquila was basically so terrifying that nobody wanted to speak ill of him after his death. He's honored as the ideal king because everyone's scared to write down his less than savory moments.

I cannot help but see some parallels between the kidnapping of Akira's sister in IV and Asahi's death in IVA.

Both girls are taken into an ovoidal vessel that would ferry them along with countless others to another world as part of a god's grander scheme. Akira's sister is kidnapped as one of God's Chosen and holed up in a giant cocoon, which in the main timeline did succeed in flying her off to what would eventually become the Kingdom of Mikado. Asahi was killed and her soul became one of the many others trapped in the Cosmic Egg, which would have led to the birth of a new universe that all the souls would be reborn into. Different circumstances and outcomes, but still the same idea.

There's unfortunately nothing that states or even directly implies that Asahi is or was ever intended to be the reincarnation of Akira's sister. But when considering her intrinsic closeness to Nanashi as foster siblings, how Nanashi is always made to keep an eye on her, and even just the parallels between the cocoon and Cosmic Egg, I think there is a reasonable degree of implicity that Asahi is or could be the reincarnation of her. At least, even as pure fanon it wouldn't be a far-fetched one.

Akira succeeded in reaching the Firmament, but because of the Tokyo-Mikado time dilation and the years it took to even dig through the ceiling, he never got to reunite with his sister as she would have already died a long time ago by then. The DLC timeline note in IVA's database states that 300 years had passed on the surface by the time Akira breached it.

In a way then, Akira and his sister are vindicated when Nanashi enters the Cosmic Egg and rescues Asahi in the Bonds route. Time is a flat circle.

Bunch of random little things about Akira i moved onto a second post because the loredrop got too big

-Her songs are a form of venting of sorts, putting her emotions and feelings into lyrics so a good handful are about the tragedy or her struggles growing up or even "simpler" topics like love and uncertainty about the future. (On a somewhat related note, i imagine her stuff sounding kinda like Willow smith, Beach bunny and No doubt songs)

-She's had 3 guitars so far; the first was a birthday gif from Teruya when she was like 13 that she used to the point of it becoming unusable and now it's hanging on the wall of her bedroom, she forgot the second one at a party and couldn't remember where the place was (Hence why she always keeps her guitar on her afterwards) and the third one is custom made.

-She keeps a notepad and pen in her pocket to write lyric/song ideas she has on the spot because otherwise she'll just end up forgetting it. Her notes there are incredibly messy and scribble to the point only Akira herself can make something coherent out of them.

-Her easy-going enough to go basically anywhere as long as it sound like it could be fun, this helped her careers quite a bit since there's been several times she was recognized at some party or event or similar thing and in some cases even asked to perform for the crowd.

-Akira's pretty fit which makes her stronger than the avarage Dra gal. As you can probably guess, that just comes naturally when one of your parents a workout freak. Ayame's always made sure Akira keeps her exercises in check.

-She worked at the Kisaragi foundation as Rei's assistant for a bit when she was around 16-17 before her music career really took off.

-Similarly to Kizuna, Akira is also very physical affectionate, tho in her case that comes in the form of hugging people and invading their personal space.

-Other than her moms, the other Class 79 survivor she's the closest with is Teruya! She used to call him uncle as kid and he's helped set up a handful of her concerts.

-She's pretty close with Minako too, for obvious reasons you know that's her grandmother, and since Minako is working on improving herself by the time she's adopted she's been a nicer grandmother than she was a mother to Kizuna. (which gives her a whole mess of conflicted feelings, but at the end of the day she's glad her daughter has a good relationship with her grandma)

-She's never met her grandfather tho, the guy sorta just vanished when Minako managed to finally divorce him Akira things is for the best they've never met because she's only heard bad things about Toshiro. She's also never met her grandparents on Ayame's side but that's because they died in the tragedy, Ayame did tell her about them quite a bit and they have some a photo of them around the apartment.

-When it comes to her biological parents, Akira really doesn't have any interest in learning about what kind of person they were because she has a pretty weird relationship with them (or their memory i suppose). She was far to young when they died to remember anything about them and and so really can't feel much for them + she can't know if the Sakamotos would have been supportive of her being trans as her adoptive family is so that adds a whole another mess of feelings to the mix.

-She's always been going by Akira, she likes the name and didn't feel like choosing a new one when starting her transition. Still on the topic of names, the reason she has both of her mom's surnames is because she insisted in doing so out of how important both Ayame and Kizuna are for her.

-Aside from her memory getting worse, Akira's second biggest fear is virtual realities/simulations because she was told by her mothers about how Mikado tried to lock all of them inside his virtual reality when the foundation got into the sim. Needless to say the idea of losing both of her parents in a flash like this was really scary for a kid, and even as an adult Akira is scared of being stuck inside a machine with no way out.

[gothamcityneedsme]

Do you think some Mikado citizens ever figured out they could get their original works published as long as they threw King Aquila in there somewhere? And how much of it was actually fanfiction about Aquila, Mikado's state-designated blorbo? It'd be really funny if Aquila also got "and he'll return in Mikado's darkest hour" like King Arthur. Like technically he did!

@thonkphonk

OK......... THE FAERIE QUEENE IS AN INTEREST OF MINE. I read Books 3 and 4 for a class called 'Violence and Romance in Renaissance Literature'. We spent a lot of time on it, because iirc the only other thing we read in the class at all was some Shakespeare. So it was actually mostly a class on the Faerie Queen books 3 and 4 lol (and all of my papers were on the Faerie Queene instead of Shakespeare lol).

The whole deal with the Faerie Queene is that the titular Queene is the goal of King Arthur's quest, and yet Arthur himself only has cameos in the stories because he is the 'main plot' where all the books have different main characters (and focuses on elaborating on various virtues that each main knight upholds--Arthur is the perfect knight, who extols all virtues, whereas all the characters in the books exist to define specific virtues--ex: Britomart represents Chastity, Artegall represents Justice, etc). And Spenser never actually finished the Faerie Queene, which is why Arthur's quest never gets full attention.

To apply this to SMTIV would be extremely fun.

Absolutely I could see so many stories about King Aquila's times. Especially since Mikado is trapped in this sort of medieval stone-age ('holy times' as viewed by angels) so its not even like stories about Aquila would be dated, it would be so easy to write stories of modern times with Aquila present. Or, even easier, would be his inclusion in these 'fairy-stories' the Luxurors know.

Aquila means so much to people despite having lived so long ago, I would assume his knights are known the same way Arthur's are (with people inventing new knights all the time, as with Arthurian legends as well). So people would toss Aquila into all this often while writing their own stories about the various knights (with a focus on those knights because, like Arthur's presentation in the Faerie Queene, Aquila would be the 'perfect' character, meaning that the stories are more interesting if they can be about the flaws of the others).

But 100% Aquila would always come in to save the day, or to approve of the resolution the story reaches, etc. I am so on board with that idea.

That being said, this would mean the angels likely erase much of this when they take over Mikado, Aquila' name remains on the Obelisk, but his statue is destroyed, so I imagine many of these books are just straight up burned. A few would survive though, less objectionable ones,but the angels hate the influence Aquila still has on the people, and how he is still venerated.

Also you are SO RIGHT about the 'once and future' thing. Like. This has no support in the game because the game is so nebulous about Nanashi's birth, but I do somewhat theorize he was born in Mikado? He's literally just found in Sky Tower, so I'm like, okay was he born there and brought down somehow? I would KILL to know anything about this because like. Ok, they found a baby. How did they find him? In the hands of a demon, dead humans, or just like, on the ground? Hello? Can I have some information please?

But I've always assumed Nanashi was born in Mikado and then SOMETHING was a reason for him to be carried below, and then discovered. Because like. we don't even know why the HUNTERS were in Sky Tower--most people knew about Medusa back then and wouldn't want to go, and people even assume Medusa works for Tayama (which is false--I theorize she worked for Akira but that isn't confirmed anywhere). but if people just assumed the Sky Tower was controlled by the Ashura-kai, I don't know why anyone would approach--they KNOW Medusa kills everyone up there.

and Nanashi of course is randomly discovered after Medusa is there, he's only born well after Akira establishes Mikado, so the Hunters have long-withdrawn from Sky Tower and like. what. is happening.

But yeah a prophecy about Aquila's return and somehow that also including the need for Nanashi to go below rather than above, there's some sect of people somewhere that know something, this is just, one of those many holes left open in the SMTIV world. so we are free to make theories and headcanons and I am so with it.

Thank you for sending this, this was so fun omg. I went on a bit of a ramble.

Untangling the obscure nature of Flynn and Isabeau's relationship

A lot of people joke about Nanashi being able to “steal” Isabeau from Flynn if you side with Dagda and certainly... it holds true to some extent.

How far does Isabeau's "heroine" role in SMT4 go, however? Is it comparable to previous heroines in the series or does she fit in a different type of category?

She will fight Flynn to death if he sides with Law or Chaos, displaying her inherence to Neutral (contrasting with the SMT1-2 heroines that follow the player regardless of the alignment) and yet doesn't push him towards it before the branching point like other Neutral characters do.

[Johne is the player name from the SMT4 video I took these from]

Instead it's expected that Flynn weights his decision without her input (from some scenes you could say that the player might feel as if we're pondering together but ultimately she's resolute on crediting Flynn).

Another aspect that is particular about Isabeau is that even in endgame she deliberately splits up and moves around independently.

The detachment is even more blatant in the sequel:

She is not a character that is necessary to the protagonist or has plot excuses to be seen as his ‘other half’. The game notably gives Isabeau less relevance than Jonathan or Walter (and later, Akira) as we don’t get to see her previous life.

[Excerpt from Isabeau's audio clip from SMTIV's Official Website. Translated by takujiluvr]

[Left - SMTIV: Demonic Gene Right - Rose of Versailles]

From a personal level, plenty of evidence in-game leans to Isabeau being a chaste workaholic girl with attachment to fantasy and idealizations. She's shown to be an admirer of characters with strong leadership skills that put up a flawless front such as Kaga and the fictional protagonist of Rose of Versailles.

On the other hand, she shows a condescending side to clumsy and foolish behavior from fellow Samurai. You could interpret that she immediately distrusting Hikaru comes from the flirty undertones when she speaks to them.

On top of that, it's stated in her SMTIVA profile she has interest in same-sex romance stories aka she's a fujoshi/himejoshi so in the end you could argue that she doesn't necessarily wants to self-insert in a straight relationship and considers delusions in general are more fun to get immersed into than the reality around her.

While for many this side of Isabeau seems to be 'filler', I'm of the opinion that it's the starting point to the sequence of events where Tokyo's overly dependence on Flynn is what causes its downfall in Apocalypse.

Flynn and Isabeau's relationship across the main story of the game developed on the basis of Isabeau progressively putting Flynn on an unreachable pedestal similar to what she did for those early mentioned for the sake of giving hope to humanity (including herself).

She saw Kaga die. Mikado and Tokyo are in state of war. She finds the last volume of Rose of Versailles and realizes Oscar also succumbs in battle. Her teammates which were the closest people to her are gone except Flynn.

Regardless of what choice Flynn makes, who else she has left to put her ideals on? And what she does when reality strikes her?
