YAYYYY!!!!!!

Hey, since you got Kanji on the Investigation Team, you need an extra member on the Endurance Run Team.

Make sure you get Kanji up to Social Rank 3.

Long episode is long.

Just an interesting little bit. the save points are supposedly meant to represent Philemon, the person/deity whom Igor serves. The blue butterfly also appeared in P3, although not as a save point.

Good of them to finish up the fox's request during the rainy day where you can't do much (other then Aiya's). Something tells me its entirely coincidental, but good job anyway.

Now you can finally make lunch again! About time Nanako went to the store... lazy kid! Do the wash!

@PolyesterPimp, they record these the day before and the video gets processed over night or early the next day. Otherwise they'd have to get to work at like 6AM or some other way-too-early hour.

If you guys haven't, cook instead of talking to Dojima.  6/10 is a good day to go back into the TV-its raining and you can clear Kanji's dungeon for teh 2nd time.

No real reason to go into the TV and waste a dungeoning day just fighting the king now. Go in after the next dungeon is open, beat the king and they will have tons of SP left, probably enough to get 3-4ish levels through the next dungeon at least.

Woo! Dave!
I would totally play King Fighter 2 but frankly I think it should move in a different direction then simply fighting kings and allow you to build social links and go shopping.

Kanji's dungeon is now open.  They can beat the King and at least make it to the top floor of Kanji's dungeon if not take down the optional boss there in one day.

Yay now you can show Dave where you are so he won't spoil the game with an image in a news story...

I'm sorry Dave, had to let that one out, im done! I'm glad you spoke of the Knife Show.

I think having 3 people in an endurance run works really well. Some good Innuendo's!

This is almost certainly very sad, but.......
Did anyone else notice that Nanako said "Welcome Back" instead of "Welcome Home"?
Cuz she normally says welcome home even when it says welcome back in the dialgoue box.

Great lenghty episode that only problem was Dave. I mean, they spent many time either telling him what was happenin in P4 or talking with him while things were happening in the game so it was a bit confusing. It wasn't Dave the problem. It was the fact of being another person.

At first it pleased me to see the episode lasted for 56 minutes, but it turned out to be really boring. It's inevitable that there will be some dull episodes - the story dialogue often goes on for far too long - but you guys didn't help yourself by including Dave. He seemed like a nice guy but sounded like he needs antidepressants ASAP and knew nothing about P4. The episode would've been rather boring without  Dave, so you guys having to take time explaining the game to Dave didn't help out much.

There's no need to rush to beat the bonus boss of Yukiko's dungeon. It'd be entertaining, as all boss battles are, but it'd also be a waste of a day when you can do that before you enter the next dungeon. And it'd be a good idea to take more quests before you do so, and clear the old ones. I say that because each time you beat a dungeon you have to start from floor 1again in order to reach the bonus boss of the dungeon, and when you get to the point where you can re-enter a dungeon for the bonus boss you can also take quests involving getting items from old monsters. You'd hit two birds with one stone if you did the quests as you re-cleared dungeons for bonus bosses.

Dudes, that's not The Power Rangers. That's SUPER SENTAI! The original Japanese series that Power Rangers is based on. Way better and with more absurd plots.
