Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love/Episode 5

A Melancholy Intellect

There's really not much to Subaru's story except she, Cheiron and Rosita got into a combative war leaving them totally apart. So you try and get Subaru to open up to you which could prove to be a challenge.

Shinjiro vs Subaru
If you reach this point after stopping Cheiron and Rosita trying to cause trouble for Subaru then follow those prompts wisely to finish this duel: You can choose to attack first or not, then parry her attacks either lower for the first time or permanently leave it in the middle the second time. Push for perfect on the minigame. Apparently Subaru is too good for you so lower it down with the control stick to give in. Understand that since this is Subaru's story, you don't want to aggravate it by not giving in to the duel.

Even though you lost the duel, there's another twist to this story.

Boy or girl?
You're expected to perform on stage called "Viva in Harlem" but as typical in all divisions, no guys aren't allowed to act on stage! So when Cherry and Anri comes to your house, you have little choice but to dress up as a girl with a stage name called Peppermint. You might have fun going around as a girl but you also need to push all the girls motivations up.

Perhaps for the best, if your a boy, don't try this in real life!

Of course to clear things up, your performance as Peppermint has a strong effect on Subaru. It's worth putting your best on the minigame as it will help with the batlle which is coming up on the next section.

Statue Ship
You'll be going on the ship dressed as a girl... again. To find Cherry and Anri, look to the very right and zoom as much as you can and focus to take a photo shot. On the battlefield it's a time of desperation! You must move the statue to the entrance and if one of the statue escape by the robot minions, missions over. So go there and deal with it first and also take down the objects generating robots to make it easier.

The easiest way of doing provided how updated your fighter is, take your person and unblock the area on the left. Summon Subaru and push all three statues to the entrance. Then get Diana, to finish pushing the statues to complete the mission.

If you want Subaru to be highly motivated here's the answer: Choose "New York isn't rotten!" Followed by "Take down Tsugarubi". At the cutscene, choose "Make your peace monster!".

Statue of Despair
Before battle starts, you have to destroy the tank to save Diana, Cheiron and Rosita from dying in stone. Tsugarubi summons Enten for his final standoff. To complete Subaru's motivation choose "We're all friends". The order in which you need to defeat him might be easy if done right: Take out his tank in his back first. Get your girls on the other side to take out at least one of his arm that's a cross between an axe and a gun. With those parts gone, attacking the head where the pneuma is should be easy.

After the victory pose, Gemini is left and boy has she got a surprise for you!
