Most intense episode yet. The social link and Adachi moments captured the mood of Persona. I'm curious to see how this goes now since I haven't played the games and it's been awhile since I've seen the original series.

Now this show is getting interesting again... and pretty creepy too. Reminds me of those serial killer documentaries somewhat, but that's no surprise given Adachi's personality.
Never got around to finishing the Joker Social Link, though I recognize a few things from the early stages. Nice contrast between the two, but then Yu and Adachi were always somewhat twisted reflections of each other, and looks like next episode will have the direct confrontation between them. Wonder if we'll actually see Persona action again (we saw a tiny bit of the end of the battle in Nanako's dungeon). Nice to see more of Dojima and Nanako. |

Certainly Adachi's words at the end are both correct and wrong. Of course if Yu and company had never gotten involved Nanako may never have been kidnapped. However, that would have meant sacrificing someone along the line most likely Yukiko. And even then the death toll could have only continued to go up. If Namatame was shocked into stopping his actions Adachi probably would have just resumed killing.
Still it was nice to see the focus on Adachi here. Was a good chance to expand on his social link a little and show Adachi's life in Inaba. Seeing him hold onto that pot or the containers for the meals Yu brought until he finally tossed them. Maybe on some level he was considering his actions and the path he was taking, until finally deciding to continue on it. Either way hope they can still make the conflict solid between Yu and Adachi. Would have been nice to see more of the fight against Namatame. At least this far into the 'story' the OPness of Izanagi shouldn't completely prevent a good fight with Adachi. Might even make it more reasonable since it's totally possible to face Adachi with that persona.

eh Adachi is basically a common person who is sick of their everyday static lifestyle where nothing goes their way. He's got a good solid career, and he ends up in Inaba which is middle of nowhere, no friends, no bonds to speak of. He's just sick of the world at large and latches onto the first thing that shakes it up (midnight channel). In a way, Yu kind of flips his viewpoint of the world upside down and him throwing away the containers indicates that while he cherishes his bonds, it wasnt enough to brighten his life so he continues the downward spiral

So Marie has her memories back, but looks like next episode will be more like a slaughter. The harem aspect has been downplayed since Marie has taken over as the main girl, but since it looks like Marie will be... indisposed for a bit, I'm hoping the rest of the cast will get more screen time.
This episode almost makes up for the entire series in terms of Persona combat. None of the others really did anything, but at least Yu used the ultimate Personas of the various arcanas. Nice conclusion to the Adachi arc and social link, with major clashes between himself and Yu. Definitely got to get around to playing the Jester/Lust S.Link later.

The newest episode's fight scene between Yu and Adachi was pretty good. However, that last one minute boss fight was anticlimatic as heck. Next episode could be the return of the "King"
