Everyone else: ...We're still gonna assume you are anyway. Kanji: Aw man.

Satan Maizono 😂😂😂

oml your profile pic tho

Rambler lol 😂😂😂

I thought the director confirmed Kanji is Bi.

So batgirl

That's Barbara Gordon.

Very happy bat man (bro bat man is super sad and depresive you can have a asshole live but you still happyer than bat man )

she is batwoman

joker from persona: (・-・;)

Cesar Vera, that’s why I like her character design, she looks cool in boys clothing, and she looks cute when she wears female clothing

Thanks, I didn't know that. It makes the beginning of the confrontation really interesting then: like the 1st draft was for the revelation to be: "Naoto has a childish view of what it means to work in/alongside law enforcement and the motivations of the people who do," and then the final draft was: "Most of that is still true, which is within Naoto's ability to control, but it's compounded by the 'just-barely-unspoken' sexism in law enforcement generally and Japan in particular, which is outside of Naoto's control." It's hard to say which is ultimately more apropos to the story's central theme of "How People View Themselves is Influence by How Their Society Views Them, Even When They Factually Know Better," as the Male Naoto could have turned into a brutal takedown of the shota stories that make up the bulk of Pop Japanese Fiction. On the other hand, Female Naoto addresses the more subtle nuances of sexism that have no easy resolutions. Laws and oversight don't necessarily correct people's preconceived biases, especially when they're reinforced by such thorough idolization of certain archetypes. Naoto's shadow even tells her that none of her personal heroes, at least within her desired profession, are women.

it was the reverse with Teddie.

Stop talking about me

so it's a guy then unless buzz lightyear is an attack helicopter or something

Can you imagine Kanji crying in his bed for what Naoto's shadow told her

I don't think she ever said that. She only said "That's not true" but didn't finish the boss fight ritual.

@@rageleague188 and with that, the shadow needed some time to get into her nerves, at some point that KANJI! The most stupid in the group, have time to think how he can hold Naoto to say the magical boss words, but have even more time to think how she will live worried if he do so, meanwhile the others are like Shadow: *mean thing* Anyone: YOU ARE NOT ME!

damn you. Now I'm gonna think that.

Adachi is damn good at hiding that he's evil

But it's true,do you know the guy?

@@RitsuSakuma69 The best thing is is that the entire conversation was concrete evidence that he DID have the most brains in the whole police department. I'm pretty sure he wasn't even drunk, he was just running his mouth in order to keep Narukami captivated and stay under Dojima's radar.

Nanako "What does "got brains" mean? I died when I saw *It means he's not an athlete*

Shadow:I am a Shadow the true self Yu:Guys Should we stop them Random person:Your not me Yu:Welp shit

+Gibus Edgeless Shirogane's shadow was always my favourite. All members of the investigation team have multiple, deeply rooted problems, but only shadow Shirogane truly displayed this in my opinion, cleverly behaving less like one and more like two to capture more of Shirogane. It switches between who she perceives herself to be to who she desires to be, helping to capture exactly who she is and how she feels. The secret base themed area also helps a great deal, not only capturing the whole "You're only a child," thing but also in a way symbolising how secretive she is about this whole thing, and that's brilliant in my opinion. I'm sure the others did a good job too, but this is the best I've seen so far.

you can also tie it to the fact she specializes in both light and darkness(with a touch of almighty and stat buffing)

This sounds incrediblystupid to ask, but does body modification mean sex change?

Nich White Yes. It’s not explicitly stated as such, but “body modification surgery” to “cross the barrier between sexes” makes it pretty damn obvious.

Shadow Naoto is the most intelligent Shadow, what with the ACTUAL STRATEGY!!

It probably realised “There are others in here? If they interfere I cannot commence the operation. No more fooling about: I must resort to the cold hard truth.”

I feel like that's because Naoto herself is probably quite aware of her shadow, probably a good long while before this encounter. Therefore, she's probably quite used to it and knows how to at the very least get it to shut up. But when a bunch of people that are strangers to you, are suddenly exposed to that side of you, it would freak anyone out.

@@bluebird1914 agreed. She's self-aware at most of her problems, she's just not ready for others to see that part of her

It actually kinda confuses me that she still dies if you miss the deadline but shsushshs

because shadow naoto reading some strobg energy on the investigation team

cringy, but excellent pun. you have my respect

Who are you?

@@mikhohardiman1916 Jack Frost

Yu is blind!

I thought about that, but didn't piece it together 😂

also at 12:31 for some reason, it was chie moving her hand as if she was talking when it was yukiko who actually talked

it's epic

But Shadow Naoto doesn't like Kanji. XD

+Thomas Strohl But shadows need to hear the host say "YOU ARE NOT ME" to gain the power to transform and become individual.

+-discontinued- Not those words specifically, note what Kanji said to his Shadow 'There's no way in hell that you're me!'. it's not the words, just the action of denying the Shadow.

HOLY SHIT

Yeah the shadow said YOU ARE ME or something like that and then naoto said THATS NOT TRUE That's basically the same as YOURE NOT ME XD

FBI OPEN UP

Casual Username, why does your profile pic look like a Phalinks from Pokemon Sword and Shield?

FBI ?? what ? they look more like agent of the MIB even the glasses were on !

They Are TIB Teen In Black

Ren Yuzu it has to do with him liking cute things

@@Eduardo-mz6cr and of the fact that his hobbies are really feminine, which partly made him question his sexuality too.

His dungeon exists because he thinks no one accept him because of what people think of him or what he does, he just want to be accepted for who he is.

Um...Kanji’s isn’t exactly about homosexuality, but rather, expectations on men and definition of masculinity.

Kanji: looks at Yosuke then slaps him in the back of the neck

This didn't age well lol, too bad nanakos the killer

actually, he's on air in p4 arena again, before that, dojima still visited him in prison many times, he is not in a bad relationship with dojima family including yu, he was just the true culprit and he had to be caught

@@Cholincy I thought yumi was the killer

it was so sad when Nanako killed him 😢

Yu and the Dojima's probably the only people Adachi actually cares about, even if he'd try to deny it if pressed.

I was like..."and then Sae came..."

?

ShadowStar1997 me too but then i was like”no way it must be the voice”

ShadowStar1997 the voice gave it away but in the animation it’s kinda not obvious

When you watch/play subbed , the jp va does a lot better job at hiding it since her voice work both way , in dub it just too obvious

Its weird but I can't remember what I thought

@@islemtrabelsi8369 But then you play dancing all night and naoto has very womanly curves and then you're confused.

Kanji, if you are still attracted to Naoto, then you're bi. If you're not anymore, you're gay.

@@demi-femme4821 false

supre977 I think it’s correct If you liked her when you perceived her as a “boy” and still like her when you now know she is a girl, you are bi. -or pansexual-

@@demi-femme4821 Think more pansexual since he liked Naoto regardless of knowing her gender.

He's not guy? So I'm lesbian

If you completed the game, u know that comment it means a lot.

It's a way to foreshadow his status as the killer. They gave him subtle dialogues

She’s the culprit and he’s onto her

I mean, we could evade the bossfight if the crew could have some tea and cookies for a formal talk.

@@franconunez925 In an ideal world yeah, but these are all people who have a lot of issues with themselves. Also, if your deepest issues were just revealed in front of a group of strangers, would you not be uncomfortable and deny it? Sure with Yukiko for instance, Chie was there, but even then, having a secret that you didn't want to tell someone just suddenly being told to that person would cause anyone to react like that.

yeah like they are the FBI

Andrew Smith also 11:03 *Shadow Kanji crying in the background*

+Dragon Ball Gap what does it mean???

+Dragon Ball Gap ooh, so "crying in the background" is some kind of proverb..

Yosua Nabara​​ Shadow Yukiko "Cried on the background" because Naoto wanted to do EXACTLY what she opposed to with all her strength

+Mr. TeM yeah i get that, its just at first i thought the shadow is literaly crying..

In truth, Kanji just wanted some acceptance from others, while Naoto was a case study on self-acceptance.

While I agree with Kanji's sexuality being ambiguous, you do realize that Naoto's whole deal wasn't that she wants to be a man, or identifies as one. But rather, that she pretends to be one because that's the only way she is able to succeed in her workplace. Therefore, making Naoto an actual man would change her entire arc.

​@@bluebird1914 Maybe I didn't make that clear, but yes, that's what I was trying to say. Naoto's story arc is about the physical expression of gender, a different discussion from Kanji's, but their stories influence each other. Naoto's arc was not about sexual attraction or inner confusion, but rather about being seen for her keen mind, and, to that end, floats between the binaries of male and female (which makes her ambiguous, because on first glance you would accept her as either male or female). Kanji represented sexual ambiguity (attraction) and Naoto represented ambiguous gender (which is entirely about outer appearance and presentation, not the inner self). TLDR I think we're on the same page :D

Lisa Oppa *shipping intensifies*

better than guy that simping with a robot

I'm glad that the original P4 anime gone the extra mile and give us one with Yukiko's Shadow.

Shoes are arranged near the door, when you enter, you take them off and put them by the door. When you leave, you slip them on and keep walking

yeah

If she doesn’t keep limber, she can’t Galactic Punt Golden Hands into the sun in battle now, can she?

her beta Battle idle animation is showed in game intro of p4 Vannila

yep i guess thats her beta Combat idle animation

Reading this with their voices in mind has made this comment even funnier.

Clap, clap. Give a round of applause for this is a moment of celebration.

SOUND THE HORN

Probably, yeah

Thomas Martinez yes

Kuro shii but Futaba is in persona 5 so it doesn’t work the same

@@KTam853 Well, we can still use her as the model for that hypothetical scenario (although, it certainly helped that the repressed thoughts that formed Shadow Futaba were positive.)

Doesn’t yu accept himself right away? Or he had nothing to hid to start with?

Shaney Zamora and in the anime I had nightmares from shadow Naoto :)

yeah

I was thinking Turks but that works too lol.

+-discontinued- Final fantasy 7 reference? They're the secret service either way

+-discontinued- I'm going to say none of the above. I was asking if it was a reference to final fantasy 7.

its a lot easier in p4 golden

No way. Gadget is a moron(even though that's why the show is so funny). If anything, Shadow Naoto is more like an evil Penny.

*Pastel Pastries* her*

Her voice.

That's... kinda the point

Just furthers the point!
