Girl like. The reason he said "this is how it should be" and faced death with a smile....is cuz he wanted to die. For 2 years he sat there thinking he was worthless and deserved to die. If he hadn’t be shot, his death would’ve been suicide, he was fully planning to die in a gutter somewhere undetected. When saying "this is how it should be" hes literally saying "don’t cry because I’m dying, my death is a good thing actually because I fucking suck and you are better off without me". I don’t think that’s badass even slightly, it’s actually really sad and really shitty. Shinjiro is so convinced that he deserves to die and hates the idea of anyone giving a shit about him because he literally can’t wrap his mind around the idea that he will be missed when he’s gone, that his death is a bad thing actually. And his last words were meant to be comforting because he fully did not intend for anyone to be there when he died, he intended to die alone, so he says them as a reminder that he’s not worth crying over
Personally, if it were me, if I was holding my dying best friend in my arms who was deeply depressed and suicidal and he said "this is how it should be" uh. I wouldn’t admire him for it??? Like am I losing my mind when I say the way this game handles Shinji is bad or is anyone else seeing this too 😰
#its like okay listen i understand the basic math of any persona game they say things and everything they say is actually#very bad when you think about it for more than 3 seconds#like what theyre intending to do with the death of this character is be like oh no your sad friend dies tragically thats so saddddd#but that doesnt mean you cant live a wonderful life full of meaning you cant let grief consume you life is beautiful awagga#and i guess shinji is a specific character whos used cuz i guess its more tragic that he never realized he was worthy of life and shit#and i guess its also like ‘dont be like this guy who let grief consume him and then died you gotta Be Different’#which i dont. love. that last part cuz if you think about shinji and what led him down this road#its like. of course hes depressed! he accidentally killed a woman with a child when he was 16!#he himself is an orphan and he just made some other kid an orphan as well and it happened cuz his persona went out of control#which very much can translate to ‘this must mean im dangerous and can hurt everyone if im not kept under control’#so of course he isolated himself and believed he was evil and became suicidal like who wouldnt feel that way#like am i supposed to be mad he left sees and took drugs cuz uh while i dont think isolation or Evil Drug is good for his mental health#i dont think him continuing to fight in sees is something he can just easily do again given how he killed someone like he shouldnt have to#be a part of this thing anymore like how would he even safely get castor to not do that??? he cant kill more people on accident!#so yeah like using shinji as an example of bad coping mechanisms is already just. a big fucking oof to me like it just feels like the game#is saying he shouldve gotten over it and simply not be suicidal and stayed on the team. idk if thats the intent but uh it wouldnt faze me#cuz persona games are notoriously awful at writing characters who are traumatized and abused#but what makes everything even worse is how the game kinda like. acts like shinjis death is a stepping stone#like we’re supposed to use it as a wake up call and understand the stakes but keep going on anyways#and akihiko and Ken get. ‘great character development’ according to the game telling you they have now developed#but damn all akihiko is is just repressed he cries for 3 seconds and then is like I SHOULD MAN UP and then neglects a depressed child#shinjis dying words are words to live by now even though they piss me the fuck off like girl am i crazy HES FUCKING#HES TELLING ME NOT TO CRY OVER HIM BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE DEAD ACTUALLY AND THIS IS A GOOD THING ACTUALLY#like if the game wants us to still find meaning in life despite losing someone it just really hurts that shinji has to die for that to work#apparently. cuz the character i see myself in is shinji. not some perfect prettyboy who does everything perfectly and has 4 gfs#his death seems like a punishment for bad behavior. the bad behavior being of course depression and drug use. and im simply supposed to be#better than that if i want to live. and we dont get to form a connection with him cuz thats gayyyyy#and his death is like a NOBLE HEROIC SACRIFICE idk its just such bullshit to me i hate it so bad#how is killing a suicidal guy and then treating it as admirable that he said ‘this is how it should be’ supposed to make me feel#makes me feel sick personally and it ruins the entire game’s theme to me because its fucking shallow and the story is bad and im tired

Radiant vol 3. Ch. 13
Summary/Translation under the read more. Yep you've guessed it, it's a weird project among my writing adventures. I've got up to vol 8 of the original radiant so I'll post a summary every now and then. So I'm doing this for fun because I happen to like languages and radiant is cool. Ive got very basic French coupled with fluent italian and google/various apps which has given me enough Basic context.
Anywho do consider buying the English releases coming out by viz media if you can't support the original, both are available online (book depository is a good alternative to amazon for English books or check the viz media site for alternatives, for the French edition ankama has an online store).
Ch. 13: when rumble town collapses
The gang (+taj and grimm) is looking up at the clock tower (horlomap it’s called i think its a play on clock and map, so hourmap but clock tower will have to do) where the nemesis tamer has a bunch of mouse nemesis ready to go all out into the city with a huge tornado spinning towards the sky.
page 1:
Townsfolk: up there on the top of the ‘clock tower’ \...A tornado
Townsfolk: the islet is trembling!!
Nemesis Tamer (I cant recall her name sorry!): Spread out!
Page 2-3:The mouse nemesis jump of the tower and ready to attack the town. The townsfolk are screaming ‘monsters’ and try to escape as seth and co. watch.
Seth: she let her nemesis loose on the streets!
Grimm: they must be eliminated as soon as possible. if they scatter it will be a carnage
Page 4:
Seth: Take shelter Taj! we’ll take care of chasing them
As Taj runs off, Seth goes after Grimm and ends up thinking: although... it’s true that i don’t have a broom anymore...it’s gonna take forever to get to the base of the tower
Suddenly Konrad shouts at Seth: Not so Quickly!!
Konrad: I’m not done with you yet riffraff
He launches the point of his lances at Seth, attached with a chain.to the rest.
Page 5: it connects to the wall underneath seth and the boy is quick to laugh.
Seth: HA HA You’ve got a baboon’s aim!
Page 5-6:However, Konrad uses the chain to propel himself towards seth and tries to hit him from above. Seth uses the repulse spell to deflect the attack.
Konrad is confident: i’m close enough to watch you croak
Seth notices his barrier is yielding under the pressure of the lance.
Page 7-8: He dodges out of the way and retaliates with skull poke but Konrad slices his magic much to seth’s surprise.
Konrad: you seem very surprised... you thought your sorcery was all powerful? HA HA HA
Seth thinks to himself: It sucks, he’s about to charge at me again like the time it cost me my arm
Pages 8-9: He activates the repulse spell and the charge throws him into the air as Taj watches hidden (Konrad’s like a bull on steroids wow). Meanwhile Konrad’s underlings are busy as Melie and Doc are gone.
Soldiers (Bubble 1 right): look at this! the cage was ripped open during the sorcerer’s assualt
Soldiers (bubble 2 middle): the imprisoned sorcerers escaped
Soldiers (bubble 3 upper left): dammit
Soldiers (bubble 4 lower left): we must find them!
Page 10: In an alleyway the escaped Melia had carried Doc’s mummy like corpse? weeping as she thinks: no pulse
She covers the body with her poncho and the scene changes to the attacking nemesis. The soldiers are panicking.
Bubble 1 (top): a nemesis! Up there!
Bubble 2 (middle): Soldiers! Hold your position!
Bubble 3 (bottom): Noooo! It’s out of our league!
Page 11-12: The nemesis jumps them but a blast hits it away from the soldiers as they look up to their saviour
The (timid!) Melie comes to the rescue proclaiming: No one else will die, not on my watch!
Soldiers: it’s still alive!!
Melie prepares charges her wand with Fantasia, both nemesis and Melie’s magic connect as the scene changes once again to grimm,
Page 13-14: At the base of the clock tower
Grimm kicks a nemesis to the ground slicing it up. He looks up at the tower questioning what the tamer wants.
Grimm (top): why leave nemesis on the islet? Why is she going so far to make a spectacle after concealing her presence or weeks?
Grimm (Bottom): Grimm can’t complain, he doesn’t have to look for her anymore...but all the same...
Grimm (next panel): This doesn’t make any sense at all
The Tamer looks down at the chaos grinning and we move to Taj’s family as they are trying to run away.
Mum? Bubble (right): Dear, it’s dangerous to cross the streets with all these riots
Mum?Bubble (middle): I felt safer at home under the inquisitors protections
Dad? Bubble (left): And what will your inquisitors do when rumble town collapses? Flail their arms and fly away?
page 15: The family converse as they run.
Girl1: or by beating their legs, dad?
dad: huh?!
girl2: or by beating eggs?
Boy: WHAT? you can fly by beating eggs? STYLIIISH??? (like cool but in a stylish way, he screams styleeeeee!)
dad: would you stop saying nonsense...wahaaaa!
Mum (she poured tea on the poor man, again!): calm down dear, you’ll make everyone panic
Dad: the rioters aren’t fools, they will have thought the same (ils ont detalle eux aussi-i couldn’t figure this sentence but i think he means they’d be on the same page)...the only danger is the tornado! Do you feel the ground trembling?
Dad (next panel): Run along and find an escape pod?
Kid: and you dad?
Dad: I will find taj and join you
Kid: if we can move go ahead...it’s blocked dad.
The family arrives to find a crowded mass by the gates.
?: it looks like the gate is closed
?: NO! it’s the only way out of the northern suburbs to the docks
The citizens are panicking and screaming for the gates to be opened in the last panel.
top right: Let us out
bottom right: i don’t even live here
left bubble: Open up!
left bottom part: Help! I beg you!
Page 16: Taj’s dad is furious at the inquisitors who have basically left them to their fates.
Dad: they’ve trapped us like beasts!The scum
Younger kid: Fimie? (im assuming she’s asking her sister- and she’s fimie- about the word ‘scum’ as the dad says ‘fumiere’ which also can mean manure)
OlderGirl: it means poop
Boy: HAA, You’re POOPS
Mum (ever the random woman): POOP
After they vented the mother notices the stairs leading above the gate.
Mum: what about that staircase, dear?
Dad: it only leads to the ramparts, there isn’t a way to reach the other side
Oldergirl: Of course! Taj showed me a passage the other day! That’s he’d come and go in the suburbs during evacuations!
Dad: WHAT! The thug! he’ll be hearing from me! Ha! My word!
Older girl: Follow me!
The oldest daughter is running up the staircase followed by her screaming dad to stop (NO, Wait: he calls out) and just as they’re reaching the top, a blast stops them in their tracks.
page 17: mum: are the kids ok dear?
?: I’m ok
?: so are we
?: HAAA! Dad! It hurts!
Dad: what? where?! where?!
?: You’re crushing my foot!
Dad: ah
The hilarity is soon cut short as the father notices just who almost blasted them to kingdom come:
Dad: its the captain of the inquisitors? what’s the matter with him!
?: He demolished the staircase!
Konrad: no person alive will cross this wall!
Page 18:
Seth is kneeling behind him, and calls him out: Konrad! a madwoman released nemesis on your islet...and you’re playing porter
Konrad: I didn’t break anything? Let me guess, you deflected the charge at the last moment
Konrad moves to face seth once more: This time, you’re definitely not...
Howeve seth cuts him shorts, charging in and cutting the distance between them much to Konrad’s shock. The chapter finishes with the promise that seth will have his revenge!
FIN!
