The last Arcana boss of this game, Hanged Man. Has the potential to be very annoying by re-summoning the statues it starts with, which need to be taken out in a way shown on the first turn - quickly and painlessly. MC's Vorpal Blade + Akihiko adding in a Megido Gem seems to work well enough, and I almost get the impression that a Megido Gem OHKOs these things in spite of some of my sources they have 300 HP (so VB + Megido Gem shouldn't be enough in taking them down). If left alive, the statues absorb fire, ice and elec respectively, and attack with lv. 2 ST spells of said elements. I normally succeed in taking them down on time, though.

Sometimes the boss would also summon Devious Maya monsters, which are also best taken out ASAP. The main difference is that destroying the statues causes the boss to drop on the ground, which makes him susceptible to extra Cruel Attack damage from Ken. I've already shown you how pathetic AoA damage is in this challenge.

Still, the damage is very low in comparison to our main source of hurting the boss - reflecting his physicals back at him, namely Akasha Arts (God's Hand is even more powerful but is single-target and therefore mirrored just once).

On this attempt, I get terribly lucky with the boss literally spamming Akasha Arts and never summoning anything. I just kick back and let him do most of the work while the party merely chips in.

Power Charge on the MC is a very valid strategy because it enables a much easier killing of any Devious Maya or statues that re-appear - not so good here though.

As you can see, Full Moon damage dealing is a bit of a problem.
