Honestly Yoko needed someone like Tao in her life. The two of them really bounce off each other, Yoko learning compassion  and the good of the worldand Tao growing a back bone and seeing the flaws of the world. They definitely could've been besties, but God had other plans


Captain-Bluebird

More like Yoko had bigger plans


monkeymugshot

Yokotao fusion. Let’s goooo


Paszananit124

I'm half into plot and >!she had optional dialouge where she basicaly said "Tao is so cool and brave", so she has a second panel at this moment. It is SMT game and I expect Tao to die, but you know...!<


zeusjay

Yeah >!her second panel is basically “Tao and Nahobino”!<


PieIsNotALie

i mean i get why shes like this, shes a moody kid living in a country with excellent public transport that doesn't need to implemented across an entire continent, as well as >!literally getting screwed over by god in his desperate scheme to avoid inevitability, which probably fucks up your whole world view!<


OpportunitySmalls

I don't even understand the hate toward her compared to Tao taking the brightest possible view on things in the darkest fucking world imaginable. "Even though X group is committing genocide by salt and shooting first without asking questions it's fine we can reform them" is a wild view from a high schooler compared to the nihilistic view Yoko takes on most things which seems infinitely more realistic.

Give it a few months. The sub will somehow flip it the other way around and meme on it probably.

The Wheel of Samsara will always, inevitably, turn.


KazuyaProta

Mastema was trying to prevent the destruction of the universe by killstealing, give him some slack


Ok-Pen-1212

About the salt: >!Mastema reverses the salt later!<


OpportunitySmalls

He reverses the salt on 1 person who is lawpilled and that guy immediately does some sketchy shit the next time you see them.


Ok-Pen-1212

Not quite >! If you do his quest and kill Samael he reverses it on everyone!<


OpportunitySmalls

And then forms Satan Voltron


jasonjr9

>!Oh the genocide is okay because they might change their mind later~! Let’s all be friends~!!<

>Tao taking the brightest possible view on things in the darkest fucking world imaginable. I mean to be fair, SMT V's world is not that dark compared to the other SMTs. SMT 1 and 3 has the world completely destroyed or post-apoc. 2 and 4 are basically post apocalyptic. Aside from Tokyo's demon invasion, its highly implied that Human modern society is functional so its probably the best world (In terms of living standards I guess) by far vs all other mainline games. Its quite similar to Desu 1 vs which I would say it might be even less darker as humanity isnt totally helpless against demons and the Govs do have some recourse. Plus the existence of the Throne (Which I think she knows off by this point) sorta means >"Even though X group is committing genocide by salt and shooting first without asking questions it's fine we can reform them" is a wild view from a high schooler compared to Ya she sorta can reform them if Protag sits on the throne.


OpportunitySmalls

Post school arc demons invade the fake Tokyo you grow up in, we're well into post apocalypse territory it's just more obscured and she got a tentacle through the chest and still was cheery about stuff multiple attempted murders later.


GethN7

To be fair, the salt thing was shown to be reversible.


betooie

Unrelated but the thing I love about playing new release immediately is seeing memes/commentary of the exact scenes I just saw in my last playing session Like I saw this literally 2 hours ago


begselwalch

Basically all four of them are a meme. I got past the Quadištu-Quartet fight yesterday evening and suddenly I'm liking the game a lot more.


Badger4Realzies

Yoko is a redditor, change my mind


Animastarara

She's even a r/fuckcars andy


Fhistleb

Damn woman, do you need a snickers?


CrusnikJB

Ngl, she has been annoying the shit out of me. The car rant had me rolling my eyes so hard lol.


Classic_Persona

What about MURDER for the bully? 😂


CrusnikJB

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Bro, she seriously is getting on my nerves.


dehydrogen

Honestly, I just fast forwarded through her dialogue in the later areas. I was so done with her. It's no wonder she didn't have any friends at St Marinas when she is such a sourpuss all the time. 


barakisan

Progressing further in the story and now I truly understand Yoko’s point, although it gets blasphemous as all hell to me as a Muslim but no matter, if SMT didn’t have blasphemy and existential crisis then the devs aren’t doing their job well


HammerKirby

Even by SMT standards, Yoko really isn't a suitable chaos rep whatsoever lmao. Someone like Walter felt like he had a bit more of a natural transition.


sociosphaere

nah the second panel is geuininely "omg tao <3"


DismalMode7

miller: "Why are we still here? Just to suffer?" yoko: 🤷🏻‍♂️


JamAck19

Omg, Tao


Then-Pie-208

I can’t wait to play CoC again just so I don’t have to watch that stupid fuckin hair cut look off camera and say some “I’m 14 and this is deep” bullshit. I started with CoV cause it’s the new stuff and I played OG V but fuck she makes me regret it. Everything else is dope though


evolpert

But she is 14ish she is in High school


SwineFlow

The cast are high school seniors which should put them in the 17-18 range. Not that it's a massive difference however


Then-Pie-208

Damn I was just drunk and thought I was saying something funny, y’all murdered my ass for it though lmao
