Weak & Mildly Acidic

Weak & Mildly Acidic (脆弱性と弱酸性 Seijakusei to Jakusan-sei, Weakness and Mild Acidity) is the 28th sub-chapter of Stories of Legend. It was added in Version 5.0 and is available up to difficulty.
==Difficulty==
Just like Body & Soul, this sub-chapter has a mix of easy and difficult stages. Expect to see a large variety of enemies. Also, two new enemies will appear - Two Can and the semi-unique Codename "Red Riding". Two Can can create highly damaging Wave Attacks, while Codename "Red Riding" has exceptional health and long range. In terms of difficulty, the hardest stages are probably At Least I'm a Cat and No More Bad Dreams unless you use the cheese strategy. The final stage itself can be quite a challenge if one does not have Awakened Bahamut Cat.
==New Features==
This sub-chapter introduces two new enemies:
*Two Can: A Red/Black enemy with high attack damage and a 100% chance to perform Lv.2 Wave Attack. However, his health isn't too high compared to similar enemies.
*Codename "Red Riding": A boss enemy with massive health and very high attack damage, along with insanely long range. Her range is so long that she can hit the Cat Base if she advances just 1/5th of the battlefield. Beware!
*While not his first appearance in-game, CyberFace makes his first appearance in the Stories of Legend here. He is a Metal enemy with massive attack power and Wave Attacks, but low enough health to die from any Critical Hit.
When Learned to Love is completed, players have a 3% chance to unlock Red Riding Mina (guaranteed if a Treasure Radar is used).

==Trivia==
*Weak & Mildly Acidic and Body & Soul are mainly themed around hope, despair, psychology, and conditions from which one may be suffering:
**Body & Soul's Japanese name means "What Connects the Mind and Body" or "That Which Connects the Mind and Body", starting off the psychological themes.
**Gestalt, Decay is a reference to the psychological phenomenon Gestaltzerfall, also known as Gestalt decomposition. When one is exposed to words or character patterns for a prolonged period of time, it may appear to them that the shapes are decomposing or "decaying" into their constituting parts.
**The "cursed" in Cursed Blizzards doesn't have to be supernatural - it can also refer to anything that brings harm or misery.
**Metabolic Syndrome is the name of a group of risk factors associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
**Out of Despair is the most straightforward example. Interestingly, its Japanese name carries the opposite tone, literally meaning "Fool's Despair".
**Love and Death is named after Ai to Shi ("Love and Death"), a novel published by Saneatsu Mushanokōji in 1939. The novel follows the character of Muraoka and his relationship with his friend's sister Natsuko, which they advance by writing to each other. They marry right before Muraoka sets off on a 6-month trip to Paris. The two continue to stay in contact via letters and have high hopes for their life as a married couple after Muraoka returns home, but on the ship back to Japan, Muraoka is informed that his wife had suddenly died of Spanish flu. After visiting her grave, Muraoka remarks that "the dead hold great power over the living, but the living are powerless over the dead."
**At Least I'm a Cat's Japanese name, At Least, Be a Cat, references that of Neon Genesis Evangelion episode 22, "At Least, Be Human". The episode depicts Asuka's declining mental state and traumatic childhood, which the mind-bending 15th Angel, Arael, forces her to relive.
**Cat Catharsis refers to the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.
**No More Bad Dreams' Japanese name literally translates to "Awakening From a Nightmare".
*The names of Weak & Mildly Acidic and its stages could be found in the game date for an indeterminate amount of time before their release, except the sub-chapter was going to be named Weak Yet Bitter.
*In older versions, there were two errors in the sub-chapter info screen shown when pressing the speech bubble next to Weak & Mildly Acidic in the Legend Stages menu:
**Although At Least I'm a Cat was originally called "At last, I'm a Cat" in-game, the sub-chapter info screen said "At least I'm a Cat" - the same name it has now, but with a lowercase "L".
**Knights of the Round was listed as "Knights of the Round Table", a direct translation of its Japanese name.
