You are completly incorrect about the nature of resistance to resistance negation, allow me to explain.
"Resistance Negation (actively with Break skills, passively with [Gun attacks and Almighty spells, which bypass Elemental Resistances"
Note the distinction between active and passive. An active use is the break skills. All they do is negate resistance and are therefore completly nullified. Almighty and gun skills are Energy Projection and Weapon/Gun skills first, with the effect of resistance nullification second (passively). They do not remove resistances like break skills, they bypass them.
If a charcter for example had immumity to energy projectiles (energy projectiles are used by almost all personas), Megidolao (which is just a large energy projectile) will bypass that and hit them full force (due to its resistance negation). Makoto does indeed have immunity to energy projectiles which is the first part of the actual justification for being immune to the almighty spells thrown at him. However Megidolaon does not bypass this resistance in game (it is nulled), so he is given resistance to resistance negation as the second part to account for that. It is the same reason why Joker has both as well (Rays of Control). Joker was immune to energy projectiles, and resistance to resistance negation made that resistance unable to be bypassed. What if they had resistance to resistance negation with no immunity to energy projectiles? It would hit them like normal, since no normal personas resist almighty attacks. Resistance negation can only apply to resistances one already has.
Since Makoto has no gun resistance, Sinful Shell will deal normal damage with its tremendous AP intact. Sinful shell is a gun attack (Fires a bullet composed of the Seven Deadly Sins to negate Immortality and deal colossal Almighty damage to 1 foe). It is not an energy projectile or physical skill. It is also not just resistance negation since we see it can deal damage and that explanation alone would not account for that (unless a character drops dead from having their resistances removed). It being almighty is game mechanic, we would in the same manner not say the Great Seal is a physical skill due to requiring HP to cast.
