Well, regarding the "yaoi shipping material" in this episode, seriously, everything is regarded as shipping material nowadays, so I don't even count that lol Aside from pleasing the fangirls (aff), they probably wanted to make some kind of bridge to Yosuke's SL, which I believe they will try to squeeze it into the whole mess the ending seems to be leading to. I may be wrong on this, but I think they're going for the True Ending. It would be strange to make an OVA just for it. So yeah, I'm preparing myself for a very rushed ending. As long as they play Reach out to the Truth Orchestrated somewhere I don't care about anything else though.

Dengar · 2012-03-20, 12:36

If they have 2 more episodes, that IS enough for the true ending actually. One boss per episode.

Yuna Amakura · 2012-03-20, 12:40

^It is enough, the thing is that there is too much information to be revealed. They may condense it too much. It is possible that they will do just like the first episode, rushing it like crazy. Well, we'll know how things will unfold in less than two weeks.

I was wondering. When they had the anime only and running joke Aika Nakamura and her 'insurmountable' Mystery Beef bowl X (in episode 11, I think) that no one can finish, did the writer/director intentionally planned it as a very early Fore-shadowing for episode 23 as a symbolic representation of a great obstacle that hero's new strong resolve can overcome, as he easily finished the Mystery bowl in one sitting.
Either way, that is totally hysterical.

Yuna Amakura · 2012-03-20, 15:58

^More or less. The fact is, only when the MC has full stats in everything can he finish the bowl. In this episode he finally did this, so I think they just throwed in another reference that the gamers will love. I don't know if I count it as a fain foreshadowing.

This. The fact that he finished it means he finally maxed out all his social stats.

There must be more

He didn't collect all that arcana just for the heck of it

He's going to use it where it is required

Episode 24 is out and subbed. Good job to all those who guessed correctly that Adachi was the true culprit. Such an intelligent and crafty sociopath hiding underneath that facade of clumsiness and incompetence.~

And Teddie was a originally a normal shadow that eventually developed an ego of it's own. It doesn't matter what you are, if you have an ego, you have the potential to use a Persona.

Was interesting to see The Reaper popping up and attacking the party throughout this episode. I guess that's one way to work in an optional boss fight.

Looks like the final episode will be the confrontation against Adachi with his Persona Magatsu Izanagi and the revelation behind why the two worlds are beginning to merge together. That's just the Normal Ending though. It's funny. Even before this show started airing I speculated they wouldn't be able to cover the True Ending. I guess I was right. It's a shame but I s'pose there's always the game for that.

DingoEnderZOE2 · 2012-03-23, 15:14

There's talk of there being an OVA to cover the true ending.

kitten320 · 2012-03-23, 15:57

HA! Adachi it was!
Though I don't fully get as to why he went psycho.

Gundamx · 2012-03-23, 16:07

Adachi: My motive? I don't really have one.
Adachi: It's just that I could and it was fun.

Spoiler for img_01:

Spoiler for img_02:

And don't you just love the OST when Magatsu Izanagi show up?

Mitsou: Did it for attention (copy criminal)
Namatame: Did it for saving others
Adachi: Did it for the lulz

rpgman1 · 2012-03-23, 16:17

Adachi is what I call a sociopath who is in the same vein as the Joker from Batman. He hates the world and wants to have fun, but Adachi really hates Yuu Narukami the most. Magatsu Izanagi looks awesome though for a Persona. I wonder why he didn't have a shadow but a Persona like the Investigation Team.

Indeed...WHY indeed....

(I wouldn't compare him to Joker though considering our culprit here is just a bitter whiny baby who's just taking his bitterness on the world because he has a too high opinion of himself.)
