Okay what if the winners got to meet previous versions of themselves through the life games.
Like grian meets no one. He didn't have any previous "versions".
Scott meets 3rd life Scott.
Pearl meets 3rd life and last life pearl.
Martyn meets 3rd life, last life and double life Martyn.
Scar meets 3rd life, last life, double life and lim life him-
This whole thing was an idea that I got just because I was thinking about ll and sl scar because they were both so lonely like wtf and I just though about a scene that would be so. Grips chair.
Ll: "We won?"
Sl: "Yeah"
Ll: "Did we have allies? Friends?"
Ll scar probably thinks sl scar won only because he had allies to support him. He knows what its like being lonely and he hopes no one has to go through that loneliness. And he wants to be optimistic for once that sl scar, future him, gets allies, gets friends.
He tries to hope and then he sees the look on sl scars face. Or maybe sl scar tries to lie- maybe he tries to say they had allies.
Ll scar sees right through him. He's him after all. Maybe he's always gonna he lonely anyway

something i feel a lot of people calll a "flaw " in the story is like when people talk about how unfair it is for akechi to die and its like thats kinda the point?? like yes it is unfair and rotted that he doesn't get a chance at a better live when the PTs then a lot of them direct there anger at atlus for doing akechi dirty
yknow what i mean?
honestly i get what you mean and yes it absolutely is unfair which is kinda why i disagree. killing off characters as a form of "redemption" has been done several times before, and people just love doing it instead of, yknow, just writing a good redemption arc. sadly, a lot of people's views on goro are just "cool backstory still murder" and want to send him to jail if he hadn't died, which—no, i also disagree with that. i still think he has to be held accountable but in very different ways, but thats not the point of this so im moving on lol
anyways, killing goro off just sends a very wrong message to the viewer. its the whole "perfect victim" myth debate thats very much present in his character. and just because atlus portrays the phantom thieves as perfect victims and goro not, doesn't mean thats true. ann was ready to kill kamoshida—akira and ryuji also had the best reason to, and morgana even told her its her choice—they claim that they arent murderers, which is true, but what they're doing is essentially stripping away everything that made a person that person, and the morality of that is.. questionable, especially considering what maruki was doing. at any point, any of them could've turned out exactly like goro, if they hadn't had a support system. i know she isnt a pt but what if shiho had tried to kill kamoshida instead of herself? what if yusuke had snapped and just killed madarame instead after he found out what actually happened to his mother? what if haru was mad at goro partly because he took her chance at killing her father? its just.. interesting stuff to think about.
killing off the most traumatized character after he literally just had a mental breakdown in front of everyone rubs me the wrong way, especially considering how many people relate to goro. maybe atlus just didnt think about that—they seem to not think a LOT of things through—and yes, while the point might've been that its unfair, we already know this, given his entire backstory. why does his life have to be unfair all the time? born as a disgrace to the world, his mother killing herself, thrown into an orphanage and passed from foster family to another just because hes not wanted, and in the end, getting manipulated and groomed into killing people at his father's will just because a bitter, angry teenager didnt know any better and was given powers by god. everything in his life has been unfair. a way stronger plotpoint would've been to save him in the end, even if thats not what he wanted—because he deserves that chance the most, in my opinion at least.
his life has been unfair up to that point. he may be surprised, furious and utterly confused at the phantom thieves saving him after he was ready to die, but now he actually gets a chance to live—and not under anyone's thumb. its not what he planned, but a lot of things dont go that way in his life, eh?
