The jump to Izanami wasn't out of nowhere. It was always clear there was more to the gas station attendant. You could talk to the attendant multiple times in the story, and still not notice that he only shows up in the rain which is suspicious.
And only a filthy gaijin would see the protagonist summon Izanagi, listen to a short retelling of the Izanagi mythos, and not realize that at some point Izanami has to be included in the story.
It was a great twist for a mystery story that occasionally tries to pull one over on the player. It does a decent job at deceiving the player, while still being out in the open.
One of the few great parts of P4.

Marie's game sucks, despite how cute she is.
