Persona 4 - Boss: Shadow Kanji (1/2)

[nwojunkie]

the only problem i have with this game is, there's no teleport thing like in the last game that takes you back to the entrance.

[MrBrawler16]

@nwojunkie What about the Goho-M? It teleports you out of the dungeon and records where you were.

[nwojunkie]

@MrBrawler16 yeah, i just really preferred the nodes in the last game to be honest.

[MrBrawler16]

@nwojunkie hey to each their own.

[nwojunkie]

@MrBrawler16 plus, that fox is fucking expensive.

[MrBrawler16]

@nwojunkie very true.

[nwojunkie]

@MrBrawler16 it wouldn't bother me as much if it healed HP and SP, not one or the other, for example, i've taken a break from playing after finishing leveling up to fight Rise, Yosuke's HP was barely down at all, the rest had full HP, no SP at all for anyone, that fox charged me over 3000 and just healed the HP.

[tk4l]

What is "being a guy"?

Oh god... Persona X IWBTG.

it's like kaizo mario. But worse.

[Majorasword64]

*SPOILER!* I blame Naoto for this.Because she acted like a boy.

[nnknsrk]

shadow kanji is tough..i need played several time just to defeat it..

[swat2555]

It felt like it was so sloooooooooow after the sped up portion XD

[ThePrincessAsshole]

Shadow Kanji sounds like Jann from Valkyria Chronicles.

And we all know how manly he is.. XD

[Globox822]

Japanese are weird

[devilslayer1230]

The sounds made me LMFAO when you sped it up Omega! :D

[PacoTako1]

The fight they have in the anime...lol.

[Arthion]

@PacoTako1 Funny as fuck. xD

[darkfang172]

My sister and I actually got the 'Jack Frost' Persona in Shuffle, so we used it's Ice Break to nullify that dude's ice resistance, and, like the video, lowered his defense, and bumped up Chie's attack. That way, her Mabufu get's everyone! :)

Also, Magaru helps too, with Yosuke. But we were at lower level Personas and we're playing the game on Normal...HE'S STILL HARD. I don't know how anyone does it on Expert. This game is nuts. We grinded for four fucking hours just to beat this dude. My god.

[DarqueMinato]

@darkfang172 Must be fun playing a game like this with your sister.I feel like nobody in my country has ever played this game...

[MrSturmthedark]

5:55 onwards - Just watch Shadow Kanji XD

[ShadowPersona360]

When fighting Shadow Kanji, I make sure that I have a persona with resistance to Phys attacks. Most people choose to kill "Nice Guy" first because it uses Heat Riser a lot, and having Yosuke remove them everytime is SP consuming. Tough guy is troublesome since he drains/reflects some attacks, but overall just uses phys attacks. Finally, Shadow Kanji is pretty troublesome the whole battle(obviously), but when he uses an attack that puts the females in berserk status, it actually helps you

[ShadowPersona360]

because it actually increases their attack power. But watch out for his elec techniques and attacks on males. If you read this, hope it helps

[SpetsnazDeltaTV]

Is it just me, or does Shadow Kanji sound like Church Guy from Left 4 Dead?

[TayJwolf123]

@TayJwolf123 I also have Izanagi, Forneus, Cu Sith, Sandman, Archangel and Obariyon. Izanagi is lv 13. Forneus is lv 9. Cu Sith is lv 10. Sandman is level 7. Archangel is lv 11. And Obariyon is lv 13.

[TayJwolf123]

I'm level 16. And I can't beat him... :'( how do I beat that gay bastard?

[jordanliow]

@TayJwolf123 Lv16? I couldn't even last 2 turns until I was level 22

[Graynumber]

@TayJwolf123 By punching yourself in the face. Zing.

[Guilmonhero]

I wonder how many people actually came here because of Extra Credits?

[chukkyjr]

i fought him using Rhakshasha, it became easy as hell since he mainly uses physical attacks, especially after Nice Guy is down, Tough Guy is useless all the time.. really..

[Sweetumsh]

Man this is the best boss! I cannot WAIT to see this part in the anime!

[mgs3re4dmc3]

*reads video description*

"Long and hard as hell..."

Oh my, Omega XD

[pondypoo]

imo, this is the hardest boss in the entire game >.>

Took me 7 tries!!!

I never died once with the other bosses later

[XManeatingxcupcakeX]

man after his whole what is a man speech i tried my best not to reference castlevania xD

[TheBattlesOfAllTime]

5:55, TECHNO PERSONA 4 MIX!

[vinporritt]

you like to sew, what a queer!

that was funny.

[cnctfd194]

i like how the names of the other two shadows are "tough guy" and "nice guy" XD

[Marcell2881991]

@cnctfd194

Its to emphasize on Kanjis personality.

Tough Guy = Shadow of Kanjis toughness and Power.

Nice Guy = Shadow of Kanji being a good guy deep inside.

[Sindal55]

@Marcell2881991

It's also a tipoff to the 'gay' steriotypes

The big tough overly macho one, and the sweet nicer one

[kerplop]

Heh.  It suddenly got funny when it sped up.

[adikkuchan]

I focused primarily on Nice Guy, as he has Heat Riser. Once he's down, I pay no attention to Tough Guy and went directly for Kanji :P

[Diodorus79]

@adikkuchan Same here! Tough guy wasn't much of a threat, and niceguy used to heal Kanji shadow. After I got rid of nice guy, it was pretty much smooth sailing. I beat him in the second try, because my 1st mistake was leaving nice guy alive and I had another persona equipped instead of Eligor. Darn Shadow Kanji used swift strike while charged up killing the main character doing like around 300 + damage. X(

[adikkuchan]

@Diodorus79 Haha, I tried checking out every enemy there, and decided that Tough Guy is no threat at all. A quick Media, and focus on Shadow Kanji instead, done! XD  And yeah, Shadow Kanji's charged Swift Attack nearly killed my MC lol.

[ltran90]

well i got this game some days before and i didn't even realize that you need to sell stuff in order to buy better equip. so basically this boss was balls hard for me (i was lvl 23). i basically had to fight him like 2 hours. now i hate kanji :p

[platefork]

Was this boss inspired by cho aniki by any chance?

The resemblance is uncanning

[MRdivod]

keep casting silence of the right guy and nuke the boss .... If you play wow u know what i mean .. :P this is how we do it

[Yukazikii]

It sounds abit like pokemon when he speeds it up? O.o Am i realy the only one who thinks that :o

[SyfeKS]

i cant get past this guy... so evil

i can get him half way down but then he crits me and i die.

[tykexskypaw24]

@SyfeKS and thats why you train and find his weakness

[SyfeKS]

what is his weakness anyway

[ColinzP]

@SyfeKS He doesn't have one. All end dungeon bosses after Chie do not have one.

[SyfeKS]

Not like a physical weakness that cant be scanned but noticed in battle

Ai Pattens are the weakness

[ColinzP]

@SyfeKS If you can get Yosuke to constantly Dekaja whenever they get a stat bonus, that helps waste turns. Also, a Persona strong against Physical helps. I love how I am already ahead of you. BTW, if you think he is hard, wait til the dungeon after the next.. ugh...

[SyfeKS]

well hes not very hard, he just crits me and i die.

[tykexskypaw24]

@tykexskypaw24 gimmie a min havent play this game in llike the year it came out uhmmm pircieing if i am not mistaken

[tykexskypaw24]

i was have too much fun laughing at the chipmunks battle noise

[TheNipponLover]

@tykexskypaw24 AHAHAHAHA ME TOO XD the music sounded like a pop song lol

[tykexskypaw24]

@TheNipponLover lul yeah ahahahaahhaha i swear justin bieber got to them lul no hate just to make it sound funner than it already is

[TheNipponLover]

@tykexskypaw24 ahahahahaha XDDD lol haha gotcha :P i don't hate him either XD lol it was funnier XD

[slyfox4374]

I laugh every time though guy laughs

[slyfox4374]

@slyfox4374 When in fast forward 

[XellosNi]

Shadow Kanji: Now bear my arctic blast!

[unknowntwilight]

Nice guy and Tough guy are reminding me of Cho Aniki...

[MyShiroyuki]

I always got the shivers whenever I heard the Shadow's talk! They always speak so freaking cool and creepy!

[thediastermaker]

just beat him yesterday on the first try. First playthrough on expert too. The moment I saw heat riser I put yosuke on dekaja duty, yukiko uses media every turn and chie nukes nice guy as much as possible. If you get poisened, just leave it.

Trust me, this fight is easy with tarunda, sukunda rahksasaa (resists phys+counter) and diarama ares (also resists phys+counter). Just make sure to keep sukunda and tarunda on the boss as much as possible, and maybe guard when he power charges.

[AirashiiReaper]

At first I din't like Kanji and I thought he was ugly but after seeing his true self and experiencing many funny hilarious scenes with him I fell in love with him~! X3 And even though this boss was a pain to beat I love his attacks! I didn't even notice that some affect the boys in one way and the girls are inmune or they affect them in another way XD

[kanariel]

For some reason I want Shinjiro to do this

[liloandstich95]

LOOOOL i love kanji

[witchapparatus]

Sterotype or not, I love shadow!Kanji. I think the statement would have been a little more powerful if the developers had actually allowed Kanji to be gay as opposed to being afraid of rejection but eh, that's just me. Well fought!

[Pieguy813]

I pissed my Big sis P4 dosen't work BLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAGRH

[takeshiair]

um curious why did you suddenly speed up during the middle part of the fight?

[Ozowa]

@takeshiair Probably just to put the video in 2 parts instead of it being 3.

[Majorasword64]

@takeshiair Taking too long.

[juliewayiero]

id ask what kind of world does shadow kanji lives in [but he literally lives in another world =F], because in real life, men are much meaner than women about prejudice-related things :~

women do talk behind ones back, but men say "awful, degrating things" as well, only its to ones face... id hurt the same...

anyways, i know "its still symbolic", so okay, nevermind.

[toxikblood]

@juliewayiero Don't forget its in Japan, shit aren't the same there

[blarghblargh5]

@juliewayiero The girls Kanji would've been with are probably the dumb slutty girls,

[blarghblargh5]

@juliewayiero The girls Kanji would've been with are probably the dumb slutty girls, he probably never went out with a girl like Yukiko so they were all mean

[juliewayiero]

@blarghblargh5 of course she would never say bad things to him...

but when you said "went out" did you mean as in "dating"?

cause i dont really see a girl like yukiko going out with him... they are waiting for princes

i mean, she started being friends with him just because of the investigation and stuff...

[blarghblargh5]

@juliewayiero I mean girls who are not smart but are hot, Yukiko doesnt fall into that category and there also it could just be random girls who never show up in the game.

[EnthalpyH]

lmao Gay stereotypes.

[Dynakirby63]

Everyone... Is wearing... SPECTACLEZ!!!

[Vestrilizer]

looks like i don't need 2 start over all i did was going crazy with battling shadows and increasing my defense so now swift strike doesn't kill me instantly im so proud of myself :'D

[Vestrilizer]

I'm stuck at this part at the moment everytime Shadow Kanji does swift strike i die intantly and im like"U F***ING FAG!!"Im seriously thinking of starting over and over leveling myself i'll just see what i can do b4 resorting 2 that

[CMPUNK420]

@Vestrilizer I just beat this boss the same way the poster did. I was at level 23 when I beat Kanji.

[Vestrilizer]

@CMPUNK420 i don't even think im on lvl 20 lol so im gonna try 2 find my own way 2 defeat this guy i just do whatever i can.Its just that 4 some reason i don't have so much fun battling shadows in this one but in persona 3 every other day im in tartarus lvling up becuz i have alot of fun battling anyways i learned my lesson and i don't care if i don't enjoy battling in this one I GOT 2 LVL UP!!

[Legendvoo]

@Vestrilizer: I'm lvl 12-15 at this point. LOL

[BunnyzAreHot]

@Legendvoo Oh god lmao xD I remember when I tried Kanji's boss at lvl 12 LMAO XDDD It was like *bash* *dead* >You have no more moon tskabombs left, sucks for you.

Then igor was like 'persona persona persona social link social link social link.'

._.

I'm at level 23 now, I'm grinding atm to get to lvl 25 :D

[Vestrilizer]

@Legendvoo u should resort 2 what i did which was lvl up at a FAST PACE!!And make sure u have a Knifeproof Coat i obtained it through selling whatever the owner of daidara needs he will create it.Save on different slot if needed just in case.I was around ur lvl too but i can handle this boss now so all u need 2 do is just battle alot of shadows(: may take a while but thats better then starting over

[Legendvoo]

@Vestrilizer Thanks man! i will

[Vestrilizer]

@Legendvoo ur welcome(: Just 2 let u know i was able 2 defeat this shadow at lvl 20 and did it my own way so ur not that far off at defeating this shadow may not work the 1st time but just keep trying

[cutiepee1234]

@Vestrilizer I know how you feel I died once battling shadow kanji before but I still won. But what level did fight him in?

[Vestrilizer]

@cutiepee1234 1st time i fought him around lvl 15 or 16.Then i just leveled myself and got better armor so i defeated him at lvl 21.Second time i played it was lvl 26 and 3rd time i over leveled myself to lvl 33

[Angeliclily]

YOU GAIIIZ. EVERYBODY AT SKEWL MAKES FUN OF ME BECAUSE I LIKE-

WOMEN!! D: <

Rofl.

[XxvallchenxX]

troy baker is so...perfect in this role!!

he has such a fitting voice for both the normal and the shadow kanji. I love this man's work <3

[emokat456]

if you look closely shadow kanji is wearing blush and lipstick

[GreyMatter00Duh]

Shadow Kanji is FABULOUSSSSSSSSSSS~!

[booman014]

@GreyMatter00Duh Max Galactica reference???

[GreyMatter00Duh]

@booman014 Nah, I'm just messing around.

He is pretty fabulous, though.

[TheDeg5555]

Yosuke: DON´T DO ANYTHING GAY!!!

[publicenemy1245]

Kill nice guy then focus on Kanji, Tough guy is jus annoying he really doesn't present a threat. Have yukiko heal every turn and your golden

[Hotsumoto90]

The way he said "No way!" sounds so damn much like the crazy church guy from4left dead 1.

[kurotyann34]

海外版ってクマナビ少ないのね・・・なんか寂しい

[ilovedaftpunk55]

IT'S STILL SYMBOLIC!

[ninja3238]

I hate this boss!!!it so DAMN ANNOYING!!!also,that's was a great battle!!!I even can't do great what you can!!

[Ambidextrous224]

Question does all your characters icluding MC have the Falcon Eye accessory on them?

[theGODofCOOLNESS]

when i first watched this video and it went into fast forward...i thought there was sumthing wrong with my computer

[SoftBank47]

10:30 a feat of epic clumsiness. Must have rolled a natural 1, lol.

[spaceygirl7]

I love how chipmunk Yosuke says "Persona!" in his tiny little chipmunk voice.

[Allen913369]

lol shadow kanji is gay!!!

[sheimisheimi1]

I hope I don't have a crazy nightmare about gay Shadow Kanji trying to chase me in that loincloth XD

[Panasule]

@sheimisheimi1 LOL oh dear god, that would be a crazy nightmare for sure!

[AkumaUchitoru]

LOL Shadow Kanji sounds funny. XD

[morak220]

fuuuck im on my third playthrough and kanji is just being a pain in the ass i cant beat him XD though i am only level 23

[kh2anese]

TROY FUCKING BAKER <3

[XgrimXrockerX]

I love the way shadow kanji's face is always like :3

[KanpekiNaShimmetori]

......Such a 'manly' boss. Considering it to be Shadow Kanji. :x

[Vlcrst]

Mmmm Troy Baker... Now I see why he sounded so much like Yuri in Vesperia

[MrBionicboy]

.....i think...kanji is a gay..... o.o

[Konata990]

XDDD kanji is afraid of gay people

[xLastToHearYourDeadx]

uh... is their some reason you used first type weapons?

[EmceeProphIt]

@xLastToHearYourDeadx Those aren't the starter weapons, actually. Though I can see why you would think that. The MC is using a 5 iron, one of the best weapons available at the time. Yes, it's better than swords for some reason XD And the wrenches Yosuke has are the Skill Spanners, which aren't very strong, but raise his SP by 50, which is important since he has so many good skills.

[xLastToHearYourDeadx]

@EmceeProphIt ohhh hes using the extra weapons obtained by beating the miniboss?

[HollowsnShinigami]

do you have any tips for a first time persona player???

[Deamonkid45]

What is a guy?

A miserable little pile of secrets!

But enough talk, have at you!

(Still symbolic)

[pedronoram10]

Shit, i always die for swift strike... >.<

[GothicMasterMind]

it took me possibly 2 to 5 hours no less so after that I went and took a bath to refreshed my mind for a while.

[MistaBubblingBlue]

shadow kanji: You guys.... people make fun of me at school because i like-

Kanji: WOMEN!!!

Shadow kanji true form appears

ITS STILL SYMBOLIC!!! (get it cause hes gay? and stuff...)

[fallensheen]

you like to sew??? what a QUEER XD

[holyflame96]

What level were u and ur party members at the time???

[Fint1028]

@holyflame96 he always puts the level of his character in the descriptions box. he was lvl 25 when he fought him. and im betting his team was around 24-26

[DragonVictor]

AFter watching this vid, i feel like getting P4, P3P was hella fun.

[mollydannysox]

@DragonVictor I just started playing this a few days ago after being introduced to the series through p3p, you will not regret playing this it improves on almost everything in p3p as far as mechanics go (combat, questing, dungeons, and s links feel like they have a little more meaning) and it has an interesting story.

[Baelaein]

HOOOOOOOLD me!

[Trill1996]

i.....took.......2 hours with this battle

[holyflame96]

@Trill1996 same here and i didnt win -__-

[ColonelBluesEXE]

All I can say is: "WHAT THE HELL."

[Rainna94]

6.21 is kinda... um.. funny i guess ?

[linakorig9]

@Rainna94 thye funny is that beacuse that the video has a speed up the sound like chimpmunks XDXDXD

[FinalGamerJames]

Wow you're awesome at this game. I'm gonna have to be real good when I replay this.

[theGODofCOOLNESS]

i LOVED when it started going hyper speed

[matteste]

Was your Playstation going on helium O_o

[LeipoLicker]

When it sped up, I thought Chie was playing DDR XD

[DDTPZX]

omg speed up is so funny.

[CapitanKurosaki]

lol i got so used to watching this fight sped up when you went back to normal speed everything looked like it was in slow motion XD

[EpicWin12]

cho aniki inspired boss?

[gocrazed1]

This guy was SUCH a bitch to fight!

...although... The shadows themselves are hilarious!

[krakenbwool04]

This opens up an excellent psychological debate.

[Writtenjustice]

@krakenbwool04 Indeed; this game's treatment of issues regarding sexuality is revolutionary.

[ChaosTFox]

Man, I'm at the same lvl as you for this boss, & I'm still getting my ass kicked!!!!

Thanks for uploading man, this playthrough is helping :) *faves*

[azuretriedge3]

I admit I only watch this vid for the opening scene >.>

[okamisheenachan]

oh man Shadow Kanji was a pain in the ass to fight it took me awhile to beat him

[AcenKingCard]

Lol, chipmunk-ed battle.

[seelen173]

@resievilfan

i know what you mean:

i was fighting kanjis shadow and my brother came into my room...

just in that moment kanjis shadow said "uuuuhhhh gimme moreee"

and my brother looked at me like a creep and ran out XD

it was emberrassing but funny XD

[AcenKingCard]

The private parts have to be covered. XD

[CapitanKurosaki]

this boss isnt too hard you just need to be patient to beat him

[Pcfan11]

Is there any red eyed insane guys in this game like there was in Trauma Center?

[rubino83]

@Pcfan11 No, they have yellow eyes.

[Pcfan11]

Which I have found out that they can be as equally creepy sometimes.

[riovcaino]

the laught of thought guy is fucking funny XD

[Decliner]

What's the equipment and levels in this video?

[Hamim]

Oh and, Troy Baker = AWESOMENESS 8D He's one of my most favorite VAs.

Lol, "but you're a guy, but you don't act like a guy." AHAHAHAHA! xD The next time I play Tales of Vesperia...I'll look at Yuri differently. xD

[Hamim]

is he...naked? O___________O Even his private parts aren't covered??? O____O

I wanted to buy this game but gosh, first Rise's shadow and now this.

[rubino83]

@Hamim Now all of them know what he looks like naked, unless the Shadow affects that as well...

[Hamim]

@rubino83 Poor guy, it must be agonizingly embarrassing for him since he doesn't even know those people. xD

[KekiyoUchiha]

do u get a save point before the boss like in Yukkiko's castle?? :O

[danielbanaan]

He has the best complex i've ever seen XD. But yeah. Shadow = Gay. Kanji = Straight

[danielbanaan]

@danielbanaan Btw. How come chie doesn't get hit though phys. attacks? (Ive you get it at a lvl, ignore this)

[SanarRyell]

I don't think he's really homosexual. He even flirts with Yukiko. To be frank he may not even be bisexual but just troubled with his masculinity due to growing up in a textile shop and maintaining the 'tough guy' image.

[Yarsh52]

What sucks is I'm going to have pretty weak weapons for my MC and Chie for this fight. I did Yukiko's castle in one day and traded in all my materials, but I didn't get the 5 iron or any stronger weapons for Chie at the weapon shop. Hopefully I find some in the the bath house because the imitation katana is pretty weak.

[Astaticembrace]

lol just have Yosuke cast dekaja every round, that'll keep the nice guy from healing, but buffing him instead each round. Ignore two the "guys" Just heal and attack with MC, Chie, and Yukiko, healing when necessary.

[zazry861]

Shadow Kanji: What does it mean to "be a guy"? What does it mean to "be a manly"?

MC: I know the answer for that question! *summons Mara*

Shadow Kanji: ...... O_O;

[rubino83]

@zazry861 "It aways hurts most the first time"
