"How would you feel if the guy you told, "I hate you because you're fat!" showed up again, much skinnier than you? And not only that, he'd become insufferably snide and hypocritically narcissistic."
After the three Shadows escaped, four temples appeared along the city: Leo Temple, Aquarius Temple, Taurus Temple, and Scorpio Temple. Shadow Eikichi was at the end of the Scorpio Temple protecting the crystal skull of said temple. When Tatsuya and the others arrive to where Shadow Eikichi is, the latter is shown to be hugging Miyabi Hanakouji, Eikichi's childhood friend. Of course, Miyabi didn't know that Shadow Eikichi was a fake because the latter was showing the "affection" that Miyabi wanted Eikichi to have for her. The Shadow taunts Eikichi by telling him that Miyabi joined the Masked Circle and wished to be thin because he, Eikichi, drove her to do it after the incident at Club Zodiac where he found out that the chubby girl at the club was actually Miyabi. After the Shadow compliments the girl by telling her "You're my brown-eyed girl now!", Eikichi heard this and yelled at the Shadow to get his "paws" off of her, leading to a fight.
After the battle the Shadow tells him that this isn't the end and that he will be always watching him. Eikichi answers that he doesn't mind because he already knows that the Shadow is him. If Hades was equipped during the battle, he will declare that his Persona and the Shadow are now united as a whole and he loses his vulnerability to darkness.
Strategy[]
It is recommended that the party is at least level 50 or higher. Eikichi must have Hades equipped for the entire battle for it to become immune to Dark-based spells. Like Hades, Shadow Eikichi is immune to Water Skills, but is weak to Fire Skills. Like most bosses, Fusion Spells are always good to use against this boss, especially magic-based ones like Grand Cross. Maya and Lisa can serve as healers during this fight, using Mediarama or other Recovery Skills. If either of the two are unavailable during the fight, it is recommended to have numerous revival items or a Persona with Samarecarm or Recarmdra, because Shadow Eikichi may use Dark Verdict, which is able to instantly kill most of the characters in battle. Bloody Divorce deals a good amount of damage to the party and may inflict the Confuse status. Have party members characters use Light-based spells, as the Shadow is weak against Light.
