Just One Reason is the name of a main quest and boss fight of Itu's Plane of Shadow Fight 3. It is the eighth boss fight of Itu's Plane, which takes place inside the Tower, near the Accelerator Core.

Story

The party has almost arrived at the Accelerator core where Nanami is waiting for Proxy. Itu warns Nanami that she cannot just cleanse the world of shadow energy since it is the same as destroying it. Shadow does not understand what Itu is talking about, but Nanami agrees with Itu that the world will die, just as it should. She does not want such a world anyway and to live at the mercy of humans. She says life without freedom is just a miserable existence and even humans do not have free will in this world. She then asks Proxy to tell her just one reason why this unjust world deserves to live. Unable to tell her, Proxy then has no choice but to fight Nanami.

Special Ability

• Reality Manipulator

Nanami has discovered the true nature of the world and as a result, her mind has now surpassed even those of sentient bots. This allows her to bend a portion of reality as she wishes.

The player is paralyzed the moment they enter the aura.

A blue aura known as "Manipulation Area" manifests around her, which lasts for 2 seconds. When the player enters the aura, they will be telekinetically immobilized by Nanami and be forced to bow down, in which a random rule will be applied afterwards. If the player enters the aura when either the player or Nanami is in the middle of performing a move, the player will be paralyzed and unable to perform any move nor continue their ongoing move. The Manipulation Area will manifest in a certain interval depending on how many times Nanami has lost.

The player will be spared from manipulation if they stay away from the aura.

• 10 seconds initially
• 7 seconds after she loses once
• 5 seconds after she loses twice

There are 6 different rules which can be applied, and they may stack. By taking down Nanami's health below the marked threshold on her healthbar, all the rules applied will be instantly nullified. The danger posed by these rules depends on the player's Stability.

Depleting Nanami's health to the set threshold nullifies any rules.

• Eclipse - Darkness will fall on the battlefield periodically. Stability determines how long the darkness lasts.
• Hydra - Nanami's health gradually regenerates. Stability determines the regeneration rate.
• Open Wound - The player's health drops overtime. Stability determines the bleed rate.
• Shadow Adept - Nanami gains shadow energy faster. Stability determines the recharge rate.
• Venomous Touch - The player gets poisoned if they land a hit to Nanami. The poison effect stacks with each hit. Stability determines the health loss from the poison.
• Vicious Circle - Nanami's attack and defense power increases for every hit taken. Stability determines how much these stats increase.

Each rule lasts for a set interval, which increases if Nanami loses.

• 15 seconds initially
• 30 seconds after Nanami loses once
• 40 seconds after Nanami loses twice

Special Moves

• Sweeper

A sequence of 3 attacks with Glaive.

• Mule Kick

A sequence of 3 attacks with kicks.

Shadow Abilities

Nanami using Dash.

• Dash

Dashes forward and slashes through the player, ending up behind them. Nanami will use this ability or Harpoon randomly. She gains this ability after losing once.

• Harpoon

Throws the Glaive forward. If the player gets hit, the Glaive will impale them to the ground. Nanami then telekinetically pulls the Glaive and the impaled player behind her, clothes-lining the player with her arm as they fly back. Nanami will use this ability or Dash randomly.

• Blast

Slams the ground with one fist, creating an upward close-range ring of damaging Shadow energy around Nanami.

• Porcupine

Leaps back and throws an upwards arc wave of giant shadow crystal needles at the player. If a needle collides, it shatters into smaller fragments that surround the player and home in, piercing them a second time.

Trivia

• Nanami's weapon was first introduced in the 2020 Winter Frenzy 2.0, which was one of the possible prizes in the Lucky Board.
• Nanami's lines in the fight are her trying to confirm what she has found about Proxy, as she knows they are a copy of the Descendant. Although whether she knows about the true nature of Shadow's Descendant or not is not clear.
