Time to go another episode into the future.  My DeLorean needs some fuel.  Anyone have any banana peels?

Oh, have they opened any chests with the Reaper inside yet?  Because if not, they have a HUGE chance to do it in Adachi's dungeon.  I so hope they come across it.  We need some more 'Oh Shi--!' moments.

You really should fuse Alice when you hit 72. She is the only Persona that can learn Die for Me arguably the best spell in the game.

i had a dream where tanaka's show was actually being used to brainwash people so that an old woman with  a giant head.
 
tanaka himself was just a construct made to reflect the horrors of greed in people and he melted like a ball of wax

Are the purple tabbed persona, like Alice, the best in their respective field -- tower, death, devil, etc.?

Shiny fusions are special secret recipes, they are the only way to get that persona.  They'll never get Die for Me so Alice isn't the greatest. 
 
You guys should always check to see if your slinks are avialable before going in now.  You basically have enough time to finish Drama, Naoto and maybe Kanji. 
 
The only persona you should consider pulling out is Harita

 That purple colour means it is the only combination in order to fuse that persona in 2/3 personae fusion .In this case only Nebiros and Belial produce Alice.

Norn is also a special fusion between the scissor chick and the next two lowest fortune personas: Clotho and Lachesis.
 
They can only be created using those specific ingredients.

Since when do matadors have flaming swords?
 
EDIT:  On a side note, it never ceases to amaze me how unwieldy the Persona 4 fusion interface is.  So clunky and laborious.

Debilitate looks like it could be very useful in the forthcoming boss fights.

Guys, get rid of Black Frost already.  Also, I wouldn't pass on the Fusion Forecast.  You could always buy a Judgement Persona from the compendium, then use it in a fusion.  Fusing a Loki would be good...

Maybe they just weren't paying enough attention, to see that it is basically a screaming octo-penis.

Damn Trumpeter has a lot of awesome skills. I never made one of those, I was too busy with the Hierophant quad fuse. Man, have fun with that dude. Cool Breeze is sweet! But it only affects you. Still, it's awesome.

I fused my Trumpeter the day before the Judgement S.Link started, then watched in horror as it went up a level almost every day after that.

Trumpeter is such a beast, Debilitate on bosses is so amazing. For one turn you can cripple the boss to laughable status. Especially since they're rolling with yosuke who can cast Masukukaja on the party, and watch the misses fly.
 
I no longer have any doubts about them failing on the upcoming boss :D
