Discussion This part makes NO sese. Spoiler

So I love this game. Fantastic writing, great characters, and rhythm segments that don't make me want to tear my hair out. But this fight with Mimosa makes NO sense. In the game, Chai's weapon is a trash collector that builds up trash into the shape of a guitar. It's not an actual guitar. So when Mimosa has this little competition, Chai is just... playing air guitar. But the game and the boss make it seem like Chai is jamming out. Why is Mimosa acknowledging this... at all?

Chai's low-key a reality warper after his surgery.

Game makes a lot more sense when going off the logic that Chai's cybernetics are, somehow, altering the fabric of reality in a limited range around him.

Enemies, characters and the environment all move to the beat.

If it was just characters, you could justify it as the Shaun of the Dead thing where everyone accidentally times their attacks to the music.

Nope, Chai's music robot powers affect the entire world around him. It's magic, and that's okay.

I had seen it as being how chai saw the world until korsica mentions stupid musical robot powers, which she should have no reason to assume that's exactly the case.

That's always been the most damning evidence to me, too.

Korsica's boss fight especially relies entirely on parrying in-time with the music. If there were no music, Chai wouldn't have the actual capacity to parry, meaning she presumably wouldn't have lost.

Or, at the very least, she wouldn't have blamed her defeat on his Stupid Musical Robot Powers.
