Appearances[]
Profile[]
A world EMMA created inside Sapporo for Mariko Hyodo, it was created after Hyodo was discredited by several corrupt governors, who pinned an unfortunate incident that they indirectly caused on her to take power. Right after the Jail was created, Hyodo had all of them experience a change of heart and confess their crimes, then she used it to brainwash her voters to return back to mayor. All brainwashed civilians become fervent towards Hyodo and will vote her back to the seat of mayor. However, Hyodo herself began to act abnormally, inexplicably going ballistic on governors and overworking them for ridiculous reasons, and she started ridiculous cleaning campaigns that require Sapporo to not even harbor a single speck of dust. However, when interacting with some other people (e.g. speaking to Haru), she momentarily snaps out of it.
The Phantom Thieves raid it to stop Hyodo from starting more ridiculous cleaning campaigns and overworking her civil wards for bizarre reasons. They can begin exploring the Sapporo Jail at Noon on 8/10 by entering from Suzushino. Haru notes that being able to enter the Jail confirms that Mariko is the Monarch. From here, the party opts to investigate the castle in the distance.
The party will find their path blocked by large walls of ice while traversing Odori Park, requiring them to find an alternate path around the ice walls. In the next area, the Sapporo Clock Tower, the party will come across a Prison Keep with the gate open at the marker. The party can proceed directly to the top of the tower to claim the first core, an Election Poster. However, doing so will kick up a snow storm and render the Checkpoint teleportation inoperable, along with making more Shadows that do not appear on the minimap occupy the area. Hyodo hosting a cleaning campaign also summons a massive swarm of Jack Frost shadows, forcing the entire party to escape.
Sophia will lead the party to a heater where they can warm up. The group will then decide to turn on the other three heaters in the area. Sentries will block the heater to the east, leading to a fight with two Principality Shadows along with a weaker horde. Pushing the Ice Mass towards the ledge will allow access up to the heater. The next heater will be to the north at ground level, behind a gate shut with a control panel, requiring a hacking battle to proceed. The final heater will be at the west end of the area, guarded by more Shadows. While turning it on will stop the snow storm, it will not fix the Checkpoint, leading the party to believe that something is still interfering. Heading back to Odori Park, the party will confront another strong Shadow. Defeating them will restore the Checkpoints to full functionality.
Heading west, the party will find that an ice wall had disappeared. Morgana will speculate that the cores are the key to melting the ice walls. The party will opt to take the only route available to them forward.
In the Arboretum, the party spots another Prison Keep in the distance. Heading through the narrow pathway leads to a confrontation with a large horde of Mothman Shadows. Afterward, the party will come to a steep slope heading downwards guarded by Shadows. Ryuji will point out a snowboard rack, leading to the party being prompted to snowboard down the slope into unsuspecting Jack Frosts in the path. At the bottom, a hackable terminal battle bars the way into the Prison Keep. Crossing the gate's threshold will lead to another snowstorm battle in which the party will need to turn on another heater at the back of the area to finish.
The core at the top of the keep will be a Beautiful Flower. Leading the party to speculate that Hyodo wants to make Sapporo a beautiful destination for all, but at the cost of sacrificing her own people. Makoto will suggest heading back to Odori Park. Once there, the party will encounter the Ice Tower Admin, who demands that the party returns what they stole, stating they have no idea of the torture that awaits the Shadows once the Monarch finds out.
Upon reaching the Sapporo Tower area, the party can see the next Prison Keep, but also another ice barrier preventing access to the keep. The party will opt to scale the ice walls in order to drop into the keep. At the top they will come to another snowboard slope which will deposit them behind the keep, where they can instead use an Ice Mass to jump over the wall.
After the ensuing battle and reaching the top of the keep, the party will find the Mayor Badge. The Sapporo Central mayor's insignia being a simple symbol of power for Mariko. After battling the next tower administrator, there will be an announcement about a regular cleaning. Since the party can't do anything with the hee-horde from hell running about, they opt to head back to reality.
Upon returning from the Jail, the party witness that Mariko being harsh on the sick employee and not caring for his well being.
They went the ice palace and find a similar-looking barricade blocking the way to the Monarch, the Birdcage of Gluttony. The vocal clues points to the park where the Snow Festival occurred the nine year old girl died in the accident because of the snow sculpture collapsed. Once they went to Mariko’s Trauma Cell, they witnessed the councilman and city employee were having a conversation about the incident and planning to make Mariko step down as mayor in order take her place to get the money and power. But when she overheard this and realized that one of her staff was the one with snow sculpture collapsing on the little girl and her life was lost by cutting corners, lowering costs and hiring cheaper construction without guilt over this, she was about to call the police only the employee reply by saying if she call the police, he will take her down by saying that he did it under her orders with him on a count she is in charge of the Snow Festival and he had the papers that she signed with him which cause her to become bitter, mistrustful, and abusive towards her staff and drives her into use EMMA. When he spots the Phantom Thieves, he turns into a Lock Keeper.

Trivia[]
- Some of the snowmen in Odori Park have scarves similar to Ryoji Mochizuki's.
- Once the party encounters the Jack Frosts marching through the Jail's streets, should the protagonist respond with "Hee-ho!" upon given the option, everyone else except Ann, Makoto, and Morgana will say it along with him in their own amused ways. If the player talks to Yusuke near the campsite the next day before re-entering the Jail, he will say he's dubbed the sight "March of the Frosts."
