[this is at once his greatest dream and worst nightmare how did this happen?
When Yosuke hears her call out an attack (it must be an attack, that's such a Shounen manga thing to do) his head turns straight back up. Then feels the blood drain from his face. He's seen ice spells, he's fought a goddess of death but this? This wasn't in the TV World, where he was practically untouchable, with his partner and their friends with him. He was here, by himself going up against a girl who clearly, clearly - and there was never any doubt about this - leagues above Yosuke.
So yeah, he's a little stressed out. Mostly on the verge of panicking and freaking out, all but forgetting that maybe Kougyoku won't kill him? Because it sure as hell felt like she was going to kill him right this instant. Which was probably the point of this exercise but Yosuke likely wouldn't realize this until much later, when his heart rate was back to normal.
But in the meantime, shit. Shitshitshitshit--!!!
Yosuke barely manages to roll out of the way of the first spear and scrambles away from the second. Oh god, this was really bad! But there's a familiar power coursing through his body and at the edge of his mind and if that doesn't boost Yosuke's confidence... Hey, he may have never summoned Jiraiya in the real world, but who's to say he can't? He just... Needed to dig deep. Really deep. Deep dark secrets deep.
He stopped moving momentarily; focus, he had to focus on the music in his headphones, on himself. Draw the power forward and into the shape of a familiar tarot card-]
Go, Jiraiya!
[AND SUCCESS!! He spins around, cutting the tarot in two and manages to summon a DISCO NINJA FROG that's no where near the size of a Djinn, but hey. It worked! And after a moment of startled staring - because, whoa, it worked?! - Yosuke dashes forward, Sukukaja now in proper effect. now excuse him while he runs away from kougyoku while crying]
OH GOD THIS IS LONG i am gomen
