It had to be today that I would get one of my favourite Pokemon as a shiny, didn't it?

So I knew what to do

Do you remember the notorious 11/21 exposition scene?

Would you like to hear it without background music?

My friend @ocean-stuck was kind enough to give me the isolated vocals, so I combined them into one track

And yes, I wrote a transcript for it under the cut:

Shido: I finally made it this far... It's already been two and a half years since we met.

Akechi: Back then, you were in the media's attention as a young politician who could rise up against bureaucracy. Because of that, those who wanted to preemptively deal with problems tried to tie you up in scandal.

Shido: To think I would fall for the ruse schemed by those decrepit fools in power. I recall that's when you came to me. You promoted yourself, saying that you had "special powers". If it wasn't for the research in cognition that I dabbled in, I would have thought you insane.

Akechi: I made those troublesome opponents psychotic, and erased any trace of that scandal.

Shido: Who'd think that tampering with a person's heart could trigger a psychotic lapse or mental shutdown? And when someone like that said he'd support me, I had suspected that there'd be an ulterior motive.

Akechi: It's because I sympathized with your aspiring ideology. I believed that your ideals needed to be achieved for the sake of the country's future.

Shido: Well, my faith in you is precisely why I pulled the plug on that research. I only need you using that power. It'd be troublesome if someone else uncovered how it works.

Akechi: ...Wakaba Isshiki, was it? That researcher, she wouldn't have had to have died if she just complied.

Shido: Any suspicions should be snubbed out. Even the smallest doubt must be severed at the root. After all, we had an active Public Prosecutors Office director on our side until recently.

Akechi: Astounding, isn't it? To think the director himself would often forge evidence to secure his promotion. He was quite surprised when you confronted him about it. He didn't know who leaked that information. Well, I got that out of his Shadow, so technically speaking, he did it himself.

Shido: This country's affairs have become stagnant. The political world is filled with old men who only act to preserve their own vested interests. The general public has forsaken such political affairs and don't even bother. Only ruin awaits us.

Akechi: I must agree.

Shido: There's no need to be ruined with such incompetent fools. I will lead this country to its revival. Those who get in the way must be eliminated at times - that's the correct way to use the Metaverse.

Akechi: Still, it would stand out if there were continuous deaths and scandals with your political rivals. Which is why I made them "suspects." Prosecute the targets that I turned psychotic... and solve them as cases unrelated to you. And thus, the charismatic ace detective was born.

Shido: Thanks to your efforts, my clean image remains untarnished, and I monopolized public opinion. Once I gained public sentiment, collaborators from all sectors began approaching me on their own. The police were no exception. With their management in my pocket, keeping them in check was easy.

Akechi: When the Phantom Thieves emerged, I thought things might become somewhat troublesome.

Shido: They were just brats once we looked into it. All we needed to do was to lay the blame on them...

Akechi: When you told me that, I knew then that you were the better man.

Shido: Their popularity was a bit beyond my expectations but flipping it made the negative press stronger. After that, all I had to do was openly berate them. I've been gaining more supporters since. The current administration is dead with ongoing scandals... never mind the fact that they're my doing. Even the government parties have begun splitting up... and they're dissolving just as planned.

[Shido laughs]

Shido: The time has finally come... Just a little more and I'll take the seat of prime minister. However, inauguration isn't my goal. That's when everything truly begins. I'll make this country rich for the sake of its selfish and ignorant masses who can only rely on others.

Akechi: In other words, you're creating a powerful country that can compete with the world.

Shido: The public resonates with my ideals and follows me. And for that, some "sacrifices" can't be avoided. That is my duty as the chosen one. Your assistance has been very influential in making my plan run smoothly. When I become prime minister, I'll grant whatever wish you want.

Akechi: With this most recent case, my name has become known across the country, perhaps even the world. Surely my story will be passed down as a hero who won against monsters that could control people's hearts. I believe I'll lay low and devote myself to my studies.

Shido: ...I suppose with your age, you wouldn't come up with debauched desires.

Akechi: ...I am thinking about the future though.

not me discovering a FIRST okumura scene while flipping through the will seed backstories for a mod 😱

I don't have a proper translation of this (as I don't know enough Japanese to do it myself), but just from what I can glean it's Okumura by himself at a family grave or perhaps a shrine for mourning, addressing his father and someone named Akiko (likely Haru's mother). A dataminer who was there when I found this suggested her name probably comes from Yosano Akiko.

(this was a dump of pc text, for the record. there's not a full event, just the text. i would guess the reason is there's no map they could use for the event, since the others use existing maps instead)

The Japanese text (stripped of game functions) reads as follows:

奥村 邦和: 親父、明子。…元気だったか?

奥村 邦和: 僕はなんとか元気でやってる。会社も順調そのものさ。 今日は、春も連れて来ようと思ったんだけど… つい最近、約束していた運動会に行けなくて。大泣きされた上に♀ねられてしまったよ。

奥村 邦和: あの日は、会社を守るためにもどうしても外せないµ件があってね… 僕は貧乏の苦しみを知っているから、社çたちを守りたい気持ちが勝ってしまって。 親父の喫茶店を閉めたのもそれが理由さ。いつまでも赤字経営じゃ社çを守れないから…あの喫茶店が好きだった社çも多いけど…いつか僕の考えもわかってくれるよね。

奥村 邦和: あ! そうだ! 実は今、秘書に頼んで春のフィアンセ探しを進めてるんだ! 素性も能力も申し分の無い、®心して春を任せられる男を見つけろ…ってね。 春には楽させたいし、早く花嫁姿が見たいから。 …あの子はまだ5つだから、完全な親バカだけど。

奥村 邦和: …もう行かないと。社çたちに迷惑をかけられない。 親父も明子も、これからも僕を見守っててくれよ?それくらいしてくれてもいいだろう? 僕を置いて、勝手にいなくなって…これまで、本当に大変だったんだからさ。

I hate shido as much as the next guy but you have to admit his immediate reaction to losing to the phantom thieves being "then I guess I have to kill myself first" is kind of hilarious

[wormsical]

i dont think we talk about this enough. like this was fucking bananas. he grabbed the first doctor that said "yeah I got medication that'll temporarily stop your heart from beating" and he was like cool I need to kill 8-9 teenagers
