I love Mastema as a character, he is both perfectly memeable and serious at the same time. I also adore the fact that they cite his floor-smashing skills from Strange Journey.

_"How many Seething Mansemats?"_ _"Yes"_

Mastema is rocking these Adidas pants.

In the name of our hallowed and mighty lord, evil be gone

wait, is he punching the ground a reference to Strange Journey when he punched a hole in Sector Bootes floor?

Handsome angel time. The Chaos route may be kinda iffy this time, but Mastema is the absolute highlight and he is great as always. They really went all out with his animations and voice acting.

In the name of our Hallowed and Mighty Lord

Omg Law Roach I'm a big fan

I guess if anyone wanted to fight him in Strange Journey... There you go

Ima just say this is the sole reason I accepted Yoko This boss felt GREAT to do He's the entire reason Dazai changed and why Yuzuru died Great boss and great OST

I suppose he was deliberately easy for story reasons? It's supposedly like nobody can stop you from obliterating the entire universe anymore

A recognisable demon boss desgined by kazuma kaneko i can tell by the upperlip darken and one of those bosses with wow i cant believe this boss has many press turns

And just when you think Seething Mansemat was going to be dangerous, you then realize it's only a WEAK Physical attack.

He has soooo many turns wtf!!

I agree with the fact that Mastema was quite the joke and it's even more confusing when you look at his skill set and you wonder why he never used those Almighty skills that he had. At least the music was amazing!

i dont hate it but this was kind of a goofy boss imo, i was expecting him to have a transformation or something lmao

The only really noteworthy thing about Mastema is he's got a whopping three signature skills, none of which he uses frequently. (Edit: 2:56 - Well he never used that one on me four times in a row...) The only one that's noteworthy is Great Lament, which is the only skill in his set that could be any challenge since it's Almighty and does way more damage if you have an ailment. So naturally he basically never uses it. His other two signatures, which coincidentally you can't use yourself because Lol, are Seething Mansemat (10/10 name btw), which is just a whatever all party physical move that always crits and basically does more damage upon a crit (and is pathetic otherwise, and frankly already is still pathetic because with crit bonus it's still weaker than Hades Blast), and Untainted Winds, which would be kind of interesting, but still isn't very good. It does really mediocre Force damage, less than Mazandyne lmao, but it has a 50% charm proc (for whatever reason) and has a double debilitate effect. The latter quality is the only good part of the move. It's still lame and can't pierce Force immunity though. He could actually be threatening if the game made you fight him back to back right after Tiamat... So naturally he doesn't, so he just gets mad at you and gets ready to fight you, and then just sits there and lets you waddle off to the nearby leyline fount to freshen up. Yep. I don't care for back to back bosses with no opportunities to save, but this still seems really stupidly put together.

Hey, it's Jean-Pierre Polnareff!

He really should have had demon allies that he can call.

Wait!, Really?! 8 press turn?!!

As cool as this boss seems... How could they get rid of the "nice argument, unfortunately *MEGIDOLOAN*" meme?! It was his one claim to infamy (along side the coral blue number 2 lips of course)
