5-2 just happens to have notoriously bad branching luck - it's not uncommon for players to need dozens of runs to clear the boss (some players have needed over 50 runs). It's still very possible to clear it with an Oodachi. I had two Oodachis in my party when I cleared it, and I can still get to the G node fairly frequently with them.
