The Persona-less Sho Minazuki is an incredibly fast and aggressive opponent. His primary strength lies in his rapid sword attacks and quick movement, making him difficult to pin down. He lacks a Persona, meaning he cannot be Persona Broken, but also cannot use Persona-specific SP Skills. His key attacks include 'Blade of Fury' (a rapid multi-hit sword combo) and 'Raging Lion' (a fast dash attack). Strategy: Focus on blocking his relentless pressure and looking for small openings to counter-attack. Characters with good defensive options or quick pokes can excel here. Don't try to out-rush him; instead, play a more patient, defensive game. Use your Burst defensively if you get caught in a long combo. His weakness is his lack of ranged options, so zoners can keep him at bay, but be wary of his quick dash-ins. Reward: Progress in Story Mode.
