Does Argilla's demon form actually have a normal mouth, or just those two?

So I guess Bat is going to be this game's Mid-Boss, or else just a running gag where Heat tries to eat him?

I made a bet with myself that Heat was going to say something insensitive and stupid as he walked up to Argilla at the end there, but I didn't think he'd be quite that much of a prick.

Heat does kind of have a point. You can't just leave that lying around.

Okay, the amusement park castle was pretty amazing. Nice of Heat to see through that transparent plan to turn him against Serph.

Well. Someone remembered. Someone remembered with a vengeance.

I imagine this is an apocalypse scenario, because SMT doesn't have anything else. After the world was destroyed, people became demons with no memory, or something like that.

This almost feels like an old Gold Box adventure, where the party was summoned out of the last game and arrives disoriented and missing everything, because magic wish pools are dicks.

Well, I think that much is obvious, but the fact that he's even capable of taking that sort of thing into account is pretty shocking on its own. Coming from Mr. "I do not comprehend".

Well, Gale's got green eyes now. That means he comprehends a whole bunch of poo poo.

I wonder if he's actually riffing on robo-Gale with the whole Dis-Ache thing.
