Spoiler warning for the main and extra story of MO4. (also for MOTHER 3 and MO3, too)








original date of creation: (2024/10/1)
- Finally beat MO4's main story!!!
- Below are my predictions on what would happen in the story/things i thought would've happened/ overall thoughts
  - They did Morikaze dirty. Why would they hype him up as a cool, mysterious guy only to make him a creep pretty much last minute? Was he planned to always be like this? I think there was a better way to ease into the next fight.
  - I thought that kouhai-chan appeared just in this segment and nowhere else, but I was actually wrong.
  - I found out who the 'sexual harassment' part belonged to. Not Zakro, not Fukurow, FREAKING MORIKAZE.
  - Lowkey thought the game would take a MOTHER 3 approach and make Adukin the penultimate (or at something more than Unknown or Vanitas) boss. But no, it ended earlier than i thought. I thought Beyonder was basically Adukin's masked man (i mean, Unknown kinda counts...?). I swear there was a tweet asking Axez about if Adukin's still alive. Maybe they were asking about a different person?
  - Legit thought all my favourite RPG games were inspired by MOTHER 3. Then again, it could've been inspired in a way. (plus there WAS that scene)
  - I saw a screenshot of the MO3 Bachikin boss, but I didn't know it was from MO3 (since i didn't take a closer look cuz of spoilers, plus, some parts of the screenshot were cropped by Twitter). I thought Bachikin would get corrupted by darkness again, or at least, used as the part where Sigkin doesn't want to go back (this was before i finished the main story (I saw a timestamp in a Cooletla stream saying that Sigkin doesn't want to go back whereas Bachikin wants him to)
  - This legit made me scared to level up Bachikin since I was afraid I would have to face up against her. I mean, my hypothesis explained why she's locked on to the party. (Tho in the end, she didn't really had a special moment in a fight? I remember somewhere stating that you can't remove her from the party because of story reasons, but like, Syumitaro still appears even if he isn't in the party, and he got a pretty big (no pun intended) moment. I probably got this info from some random commenter)
    - Speaking of the Syumitaro moment, that button mashing sucked. I swear, I mashed as far as i could but the bar barely went up. It improved on the last button mash tho, where there was actually clear progress. I actually kept failing at the last one thinking I wasn't quick enough. In actuality, I just didn't see the x key.
    - On a related note, I saw a fan work where Bachikin uses Fate Rejection around the part Sigkin says he'll risk his life to kill Jeraldy. I immediately hopped out since i thought that was spoilers. Turns out i didn't worry to worry cause it wasn't! It was completely fan made
  - I also thought there was gonna be a Sigkin flashback sequence here since I heard a voice line of Sigkin's voice echoing in the files. I didn't really listen to what he said cuz spoilers. I imagined it as bandaged Sigkin pre-awakening saying something to Bachikin at night with the moon in the background, and he was a lot chipper than he usually was. Or maybe that was set before the game? In hindsight, that was probably used in the Catastrophe boss battle.
    - Speaking of Catastrophe, I thought that godly music used in the Jeraldy RPS video would be used, but it never showed up, ever.
  - I remember someone on the wiki saying there were multiple endings (or at least, something that made me think so). So I thought the part where Past Sigkin tells Present Sigkin to kill Morikaze and Takahashi gave you a choice on whether or not to do so (spoilers: it didn't)
  - The original comment was actually about Kirumi. I thought that he would show up as a boss fight after you've beaten Jeraldy. I'm glad he didn't, that would've ruined the moment. He DID or was heavily implied to have showed up as the hooded person.
  - Also on the Sigkin darkness space, I thought those first few lines were from Sigkin. 
  - I also thought that the part where the other Numas encourage Sigkin were more of a one on one approach. When I first saw the screenshot with Uie, I didn't see Syumitaro.
  - I somewhat expected Jack to pop up, but it seems like it's mainly the last set of Numas. Well, Adukin and Syumitaro still showed up but... my point still stands.
  - When i first heard (not in game) that you would meet another Sigkin, I legit thought you would have to fight him.
  - When the hellhound segment came up, I thought back to that minigame Axez posted on Twitter. I thought it was gonna lead to that. Well, Sigkin didn't have his sigma marks on him in the video...
  - So the red-eyed Jeraldy was used for the Catastrophe fight. I thought it was for hard mode.
  - The Jeraldy moment with his parents felt very MOTHER 3.
  - When Bachikin searched for Sigkin, i was expecting that image of Otsukin saying [Sigkin?'s] still in rehab
  - The writing style in the extra story felt pretty different. It's a lot more jokey than before. I'm not sure if it's because it was handled by a different person. I'm not sure how to feel about it.
  - I thought there was gonna be like, a part where you could choose which story to choose like the errands part. So i was very confused when it booted me back to the title.
  - I didn't directly get spoiled, but yeah, I'm pretty sure Gabakin or whatever his name was is supposed to be Kirumi. Don't really know if the former is an alias or that's his actual name.

- Completed MO4's extra story
- It ended on a cliffhanger!?
- It seems like it also ended that way in ver 4. Maybe ver 6 will give us an ending. Hopefully it does.
- Okay so Gabukin WASN'T Kirumi. I guess he knew Sigkin as the grim reaper cuz he did some digging on him. Still don't know why he's a numa tho. That better have some significance later on. Maybe they made him a Numa to act as a red herring. I mean, he and Kirumi look pretty similar appearance wise.
- Seems like Taiyo and Arakawa were the ones who originally accompanied Sigkin in the sewers. I guess they were swapped with Otsukin and Cooletla in favor of the new story. That explains why Arakawa was suddenly there when the chapter ended
- I remember someone saying Taiyo just wants to destroy in the extra story, which kinda made me think he was gonna tag along with arakawa and be a heartless son of a b. But in actuality, he just looked silly (in a good way) and got way more confusing lines. Either i msinterpreted the comment, or the commentator was just exaggerating
- Honestly, I don't know how the story's gonna end. The stakes are way higher this time; several of the numas are already down. With the way it's heading, it seems like Sigkin, Marikin, and maybe Taiyo will defeat Kirumi. Maybe when we immediately load the game back up in Ver 6, Taiyo shows up and saves the day
- I thought Adu was having intrusive thoughts as a result of the side effects, but maybe that was a premonition
- That explains where that image of the numas dropping their jaws came from
- Deaeru and Kinako have surprisingly few appearances. Forget the latter, Deaeru literally showed up and said she'll help them out when they really need it. She hasn't shown up since Kirumi's building self destructed. I think they really need help now.
- Is Fsakin gonna permanently be a balloon after the extra story's over? Maybe he'll have a skill that makes him have a body at the expense of his health like one of Sigkin's skills
