Isamu may not be a sympathetic character for some people (and maybe not the brightest kid either), but he seems kinda tragic to me. Experiencing the end of the world, one of your only friends turns into some demon-thing, and having to walk the streets of your own world now infested with demons? That'll mess with your head.

Combine all that with how young he is, and it's no wonder his Reason is kinda messed up.

On the other hand, he is a total idiot as well, he was pretty fine when he was released by the Demi-Fiend from the Prison, if he had stuck together, he would not have had to get even more messed up. He had the chance to do pretty fine.

But nooo, he had to go by himself.

I think Isamu's transformation was the most horrifying in the game. Chiaki's was pretty drastic, but at least she didn't have freakin' faces growing out of her torso.

All the reasons are not very good options. If this were another series then maybe, but in Shin Megami Tensei, catering to the side that allows humans to exist the easiest is the best. Although Isamu's is the least hellish compared to Absolute Order styled Hikawa or Super Darwin Chiaki.

musubi is the beast reason... I only need myself to be fine

[entertainmentsteve]

Why so negative about Musubi, it's the best reason IMO...

And what are the other options than?

Total chaos, total order, back to the way it was before (temporarily...), staying in the void world or fucking the whole universe up...

Musubi ftw :D

It could have worked better if was Jonah... And you know, the whale.

@Irieane maybe

@vfaulkon I fail to see how Isamu's reason is "messed up". His is the most perfect

[PyrosNine]

You can't be yourself if there's no one else to be not self.

Furthermore, people will only ignore you if you ignore them- and what's real is what is beyond your ability to change and control.

His reason, Musubi, fails because his introspection is not a mirror, it is a hole, he is the center of his world but there's no one, not even him, to look at himself.

[SkateDied]

It's kind of hard to feel sorry for him when there were so many things he could have done to prevent this from happening to him.

[vfaulkon]

I said he was tragic. I didn't say he was smart. I agree with you there - if he'd tried sticking with his superpowered half-demon pal, he could've turned out quite differently.
