#edit: if u saw me accidentally call Shun 'Shou' no you didn't <3

[thieves-in-the-palace]

☆ That blue-haired boy from the rooftop joins the team! Introducing Shun Kanou, codename…Soy? i made fun of Cattle but damn dude that's kinda rough

★ Shun's Persona is apparently named Mandrin. It's likely based off the French highwayman Louis Mandrin of Dauphiné, who earned the title of "the Robin Hood of France" for his defiance of the deeply corrupt (and widely despised) Ferme générale – royal tax collectors. With no set limit to their taxation powers aside from what they were required to pass along to the king, the fermiers could (and did) tax people as they pleased for personal profit.

☆ Chihaya (and Wanna-kun!!) spotted! Her dialogue is something along the lines of "nothing good can come from pursuing your desires" and then a plug for her fortune telling services.

★ ya boy is Cooking

☆ Takemi is back with her array of helpful medicines!…not that we didn't already know that, but it's still nice to see the good doctor again.

★ Footage of Palace numero dos! As many have predicted, it appears to mirror the traditional Japanese aesthetics found in Madarame's Palace.

☆ A possible view of the next boss? Or at least some sort of enemy from the second Palace, judging by the design. (It's shoved between shots of what looks like an escape sequence from the first Palace & a view of the first Palace final boss, though, so who knows.)

★ A very short shot of Shun's Persona awakening! Based on the background, it looks like it'll be taking place in the second Palace.

☆ I know how to make gifs now so u KNOW I had to get something of Jánošík looking cool during Wonder's Persona awakening

★ A new All-Out Attack! For the life of me, I can't figure out what the flavor text is. That second character looks like it might be 志?

☆ Anyway, we also get a view of three new playable characters! Jury's out on who the first two are, but that bespectacled, pigtail-having girl looks an awful lot like a certain Tomoko Noge…

★ Last but not least, we get to see unique attacks for most of the playable characters thus far! Most of the attack sequences appear to have been shortened for editing purposes, but Yusuke & Ann's look to be pretty complete!
