The title is a reference to what Neku used to call Minamimoto because of his obsession with making "art pieces" out of junk. I picked the junk pins specifically to pay homage to that character trait of minamimoto. The assassin pin, "watch your back," was chosen to complete the image of a grim reaper. The mash up attack it grants sends sickles everywhere, which i thought was appropriate considering Minamimoto's previous reaper status. Once again, this is another no damage run of Susukichi on hard mode and the last one I'll be doing for awhile. I think I've exhausted this boss fight and what I can do for now.

That being said, I was interested in trying out junk-spewing pins to see if they could result in something interesting. While they didn't necessarily give me the synergy I was looking for nor were they all that interesting to use, i thought i could at least make the battle somewhat entertaining by not taking damage and using dodge-canceling tech with Minamimoto to "flash step" around the arena. When you execute perfect dodge cancels, it causes your character to wavedash, removing a lot of the end lag that comes with regular dodge rolling and zip around the stage. To do this, all you gotta do is tap the button assigned to a particular character and the dodge button at the same time. I use this tech to grant me mobility options necessary to evade attacks more efficiently and to make it much easier to get behind Susukichi and hit him with the Assassin psyche pin.
