YMMV / Persona 5 Going The Distance

• Harsher in Hindsight: In the final battle against Yaldabaoth, the false god momentarily created an illusion for Ren where Ren never met Shido and never became a Phantom Thief so he still had his happy peaceful life back in Kamakura to lull him and ensure his victory against the Trickster, and yet at the cost of the rest of the Thieves suffering from problems in a world where they never met Ren. Royal was released globally several months after that chapter was published and give the opposite of this. Maruki actualized a world where everyone of Joker's friends are happy during the Third Semester, but at the potential cost of their friendship with Joker due to the events leading them to meet being "erased" from their minds temporarily.
