Nah he already know that he sucks.

Which means it's New Game+ which explains some other choices earlier on.

Personally, Adachi is just what I call "lameass villain". Never really liked him (because he always came as lame for me, either him as detective or him as murderer) and his fight was boring.

To think that he's the last boss...frustrating (unless they make a 26th episode).

Adachi always seem to get the short end of the stick whether it is Doujima, Kanji, or anyone else for that matter. His eyes are yellow just like those shadow counterparts, but he has a freakin Persona. That means something is amiss here for him. For one thing, shadows do not attack him and the Reapers (strongest shadows) protect lame Adachi. He thinks he is a king in the other side, but I bet there is someone else besides him, the shadows, and the Investigation Team.

Could it be that Adachi is so evil, that he is a shadow? And thats why the other shadows dont attack him, he is one of them. Kuma also has a persona, so obviously, shadows can have personas.

I am really glad Adachi finally started talking normal and not in that retard way. His lameness was getting to me too.

So that shadow is officially called "the reaper"? I always thought his name was Death due to how often I heard "Be careful I sense Death." in Persona 3.

Thought at first it was the Nemesis from RE3, but it looked like a gun-slinging zombie dual-wielding long-barrel revolvers. The Reaper is a PITA to defeat anyway (resisting every form of attack even Almighty). We should just call him "Lamedachi" anyway and being a wuss.

What that idiot was the true culprit! Adachi is just a loser, doing it just because he can. So Kuma was originally a shadow. As expected nobody cared and he also has an ego so it doesn't matter.

Lol, it seems I must be one of the few Adachi lovers here. But then again, I have a liking for crafty sociopathic villains who get a kick out trolling the protagonist and his/her companions.

Interesting theory you've come up with but I'm going to have to shoot it down. Adachi is certainly quite human.

I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed in Adachi, I wasn't expecting him to have a super grand reason for his villainy but seeing that it was just his, I don't know, rebellion against society since he thought it was all so lame (instead of, you know, trying to change society first) and then blaming all the deaths on the world for somehow creating the tv world, yeah I just want this bastard dead already.

Also, apparently in the English version of the game Adachi and the Protagonist have the same VA (for the few words the Protagonist says in the fights and such) and I wonder if that will stay the same in the (expected) dub....

The game explains how Adachi and Nametame got the power to enter the TV, though it was stuff you only learned in events leading to the "True Ending". Whether it is revealed in the anime or not remains to be seen.

something is wrong because this was kind of obvious. It still doesn't explain why Nana's mother face was not shown really. They should of went with a better twist.
I hope Naoto's anime has a better mystery and twist then this. I have nothing against Adachi and his reasons but, it was just too predictable that's all.

in his case it's more of "I do it because I can, and for the lulz"

Adachi is just a sick and twisted person.

As for why the shadows don't attack him has little to do with him being evil. Shadows are the things that humans deny about themselves, whereas Adachi isn't denying anything. Also you could say he's more "in synch" with that world in general.

Just made my review.
Please check it out.

And Adachi is just too evil to be true.

Don't worry, I like Adachi too I'm even sad that almost everyone now hates him even though he exhibits pure evil without any ulterior or deep motives like mainstream villains.

I kinda agree and disagree about his statement that it's everyone in town that actually killed Konishi and the other girl. While it seems that in fact, the shadow world is the manifestation of everyone other selves; it's still a fact that he did kill someone eventhough he already knew what would happen to someone who went into the TV-world.

So I'm not the only one who feels this way . Outside the revelation of the true culprit, I just find the episode being 'just there', without any real excitement at all until the end. And the thing with Yosuke at the beginning seemed really out of place.

Actually first victim was by mistake (he was not planning to throw her in TV).
But second one was not. He was testing if it will work again and if the TV really killed the first one.
