It's narrated during one of the deadends in the fight. If you have the renpy console enabled (renpy/commons/00console.rpy, find the line config.console = False and change False to True, then launch the game and press shift+O), you can load any saved game and type "jump gojakefirst"Also, you guys are extremely perceptive, I don't remember the electricity helping the MC break free from Jake's control. When I'm back on that part I'll have to really sink in the details.
"I'm too slow. One of the energy bullets strike my arm, blasting it clean off with a single shot."
You "Ggggrrrhkk!!"
"My flesh burns and sizzles and my body jerks wildly, shaking and trembling."
You "Gyyryryaahahaha!!"
"At first I thought it was just the pain of losing a limb, but-"
You "GaaaAAAAhhhhhkK!!"
"It comes from nowhere, a delayed reaction caused by no external force. The entire right half of my torso explodes, blasting me off my feet and into the far wall."
You "Arrrngh, Fuck!!!"
You "(Dammit! What the fuck are those weapons?)"
Jake "!!!"
You "(Dammit!!)"
"My body is held in place yet again and the gunmen sprint to reposition, unable to target me after the explosion of my flesh blasted me out of their line of fire."
You "Rrraaagh!!"
"I unleash an overwhelming burst of raw power, allowing it to flood my body and break Jake's control."
"I still feel amped from the electricity. As dangerous as it is, the remnants of energy make it easier for me to break Jake's control."
It's one of the longest standing theories, that electricity is going to be like a new awakening for MC. For now he still struggles with it as shown against Monster Deryl if you don't break the blue sword quickly. One slash causes such a violent reaction that MC loses 95% of his mass.I was just looking at the thread and saw someone mention that when the MC got electrocuted in the jake fight it helped him break out of jakes control, I'm starting to think electricity might be more than just a weakness but actually a strength booster, whenever the MC get's electrocute his flesh swells up and explodes, similar to how when he consumed the flesh of a lot of cattle he couldn't fully control his form and became an extra large eagle when he flew away from the scene. maybe the electricity is just powering him up and his earlier form's just couldn't handle all the energy going in at once, and now that he's reached his third evolution he may go from having to strictly avoid electricity to it being a double-edged sword that can kill him or amp up his strength and help him win a fight. does anyone else have any evidence for this or am i just schizo posting
Electricity does 2 things to MC.
1) It rapidly expands his mass around the inflicted body part. High enough current can expand it so violently to cause an explosion.
2) It increases his power.
2a) Increased resistance against Jake's control.
2b) Increased regeneration.
Eventually MC will learn to control it. Perhaps we will see some of the effects sooner than later, or perhaps we will have to wait till level 4, which is the "limit breaker" stage, to really see the effects.
Edit: I wonder if Ella has the same vulnerability. It will be very interesting if she doesn't.
______________________________________________
Tangent: Talking about breaking limits, I wonder what his actual limitations are. Some thoughts:
1) Extremely violent reaction to Electricity
2) Body parts not persisting when cut off his "main" body.
3) The materials he creates don't behave as they should (Metal projectiles being considered biological, Insulating materials not working against electricity).
4) Having trouble regenerating burned or radioactive wounds.
5) Memory powers requiring a focus like his armor to work best.
7) Memory powers working better on biological material instead of objects.
8) Range of memory reading (got better with memory echo, but touch is still the main medium).
9) Depth of shapeshifting fine control.
10) Shapeshifting and transmuting abilities require touch.
11) Regeneration still reverts him to his default form.
12) His default form is resistant to changes and he needs to train to implement them.
Anything else?
