It also makes sense about how he talks about how more people are blessed with talent than others, and how sometimes things happen in your life that you can't control.

Talent didn’t make adachi’s life worse than someone else’s, him being a trash person that thinks as other people as beneath him made his life worse. I think because of that he’s a very well written villain, because people like him do have a way of making people feel like they do have a point even when they don’t. It’s twisting logic to fit an extreme

Adachi may be right in some ways about how life is easier for the talented. He is right in saying that but the end doesn’t justify the means here. Adachi is one of those characters that makes you think about the finest details in a story and presents an argument that is, in many ways, correct. Whenever an antagonist makes you question your outlook on the story or even the world itself you know they are a good antagonist and adachi is a prefect example of this.

He spent his entire life studying and trying to be the best only for those who had "talent" to overshadow him (P4G shows younger, more talented people getting promoted while Adach is in the background unnoticed). Not only that but he even gets the shaft by being forced to move to the small town because he (can't confirm if he's lying or not) apparently goofed something that wasn't even his fault. Then he not only get his Persona but is also influenced by Ameno Saigir (while he DID influence Adachi's by being sem-possessed by him, Adachi still could have chosen not to murder) All that together I can empathize with Adachi but he's still in the wrong.

@@superbeaner4428 I think the base problem is that society is impatient that it indirectly requires great successes from point one giving greater value to youth rather than experience of old age. All expectations are cluttered to one phase of life, youth, where one is expected to make friends, study, stay healthy, basically ace in everything rather than take one step at time. If they have not reached the goal in certain phase it is considered game over. No use to make friends, study to subject or train because they didn't as young. Instead of trying to fulfill their path on later age where some might actually have better mental tools to build up skills and handle life.

[@wasonceavengefuldemonbutno4176]

"Living is too painful for you, but you don't want to die...of course no one would understand! Because it makes no sense!" Actually, it does. The natural instinct of a human is to live, so naturally they'd be afraid of death. All those cases of people committing suicide is not only because of a distortive chemical reaction in their brain that leads them to doing so, but because their desire to die, at that point, blocked out their instinctive will to live. I mean there's a specific case of someone who tried to commit and half way from meeting with the ground, they began regretting their decision (They lived and told the story)...so it's not that far-fetched to be tired of living, but not want to die.

Takaya and the rest of Strega were forced to summon their Personas by the Kirijo Group at the cost of their life and health. It’s also said that it’s extremely difficult for them to handle their powers without some sort of suppressant. I think what happened to Adachi is similar to that. Adachi became backed into a corner, and his inner self was forced to come out to use its power in defense. Even just summoning his Persona probably took a huge toll on his body, which makes it look like he’s writhing in agony, like Takaya.

Adachi may sound like he has a point, but... He really doesn't. What defines success is subjective as it changes from person to person, it's true there's people who are born talented and get there faster, but that doesn't mean everyone else is a failure, everyone achieves success in their own way, the only true failures are those who give up at the end or refuse to develop their own talents like he did. He himself admits he only became a cop cuz he wanted to legally carry a gun, him being assigned to the small town of Inaba was also his own doing, he can whine all he wants that it was "one mistake", it had to be something bad enough for him to be sent away to where he wouldn't be much of a hindrance, even in his stint as a cop in Inaba, instead of actually learning from Dojima's teachings and kindness, he decided to just murder two women and manipulate the grieving lover of one of the first victim to go on a kidnapping spree hoping more deaths would ensue... In life you will notice the majority of people who embrace nihilism, are those who don't even want to bother getting out of the sad state of mind they put themselves in to begin with, they'd rather whine that the world dealt them a bad hand and declare themselves victims to avoid accepting responsability for their own life and actions.

It's always easier to put blame in other things and living in denial rather than facing it because running is always easier.

Rise denies what Adachi says about talent impacting your lifestyle. Pretty fucking rich to hear from the pop sensation herself

[@messmass2573]

Most people here in the comments seems to be forgetting the fact that Yu (literally, you) is talentless at the start of the game. Yu worked his way through to this finale. The key to complete this game is to work smart, not hard, and try to relate to people and your surroundings. Try apply that in real life no matter how awkward things are. Even the talented in the Investigation Team like Naoto, the child genius, and Kanji, his mastery in handicraft skill, are being troubled by their own talents. If it weren't for their efforts to face themselves, they're probably are going to carry those problems for the rest of their lives and become the next Adachi. On the contrary, Adachi himself is actually talented. Which is the reason why he is being ostracized by his peers before coming to Inaba. You all know this story better than me. But he is so stubborn for his belief that he is too late and too old to change his worldview. Even Namatame is a better person than Adachi will ever be if Adachi himself doesn't change his worldview. You all watched the Golden Ending, so you what I'm talking about Namatame. It's not impossible to change people's stigma. I rest my case.

[@messmass2573]

[@tailsofchaos]

@@messmass2573 your fine actually with all u said and i agree completely. Plenty say yes it does not excuse the action what did but he is right about things as mentioned the example of Persona 5. However talents does not always mean success because those who have that can stray off the path. One thing too is that when Adachi was defeat, Dojima had requested the ambulance which Adachi was taken a back about it. He failed to realize the bond he had and much more. Meaning he didn't truly face the problems he had all the way

An art teacher that used all of his pupils for their art, not allowing them to have careers driving them to suicide. A politician who used his son to commit murders and then abandoned him. There’s more but you get the point. It definitely darker than just straight up murder. Adachi’s real motivates arent even explained well, but they are justified

That's how society usually works - if an individual makes scary sense just deny him with numbers and overturn his argument with pure unpopularity.

@@uratheboi1555 He can’t fix it. He is what he is, as is literally every single being in the universe. Noone ever deviates from the set of pre-set conditions they are surrounded by. Everyone acts in the only possible way they can. There can be no free will in a world where the individual is not in control of their destiny. Even though I don’t really like the word itself due to it’s mystical connotations the word “destiny” is pretty accurate. Noone ever chooses anything, everyone just follows the only path that, as they think, benefits them most. If a human being was at least capable to choose when, where, how to get born then there would’ve been an argument for control over one’s life. As is - it’s a utterly idiotic concept stemming out of blind faith and basic human egocentric stupidity. Noone is ever guilty in this here world. Rendering one “guilty” only means distancing the collective, which doesn’t care to admit fault of not giving a shit as to why the individual became what he had become, from an individual, who is too pathetic and small to be understood. Kill hope. It screws with logic too much.

[@thexslayer820]

You know what I find interesting about how adachi summons his persona? Its the fact that he literally holds his head and screams in pain it proves that it still hurts to look at yourself and reject every part of it

[@brendansage6876]

I think the reason Adachi experiences a lot of pain in this fight is because he's possessed by Ameno-Sagiri. His eyes are also glowing yellow, and the fire around him when he summons his Persona is red rather than blue, both of which are traits associated with Shadows and losing control of yourself/your Persona. Notice how in P4Au he summons Magatsu-Izanagi the normal way (breaking a card), doesn't experience pain, and has the more normal, blue-colored fire.

[@personafan06]

I like the part when adachi said "it's adaching time" and adachied all over the investigation team

[@_r._7513]

I just realized that the entities in P3 and P4 have inversed roles. What I mean is both have a goddess and an entity spawned from human desires. However: Nyx (P3 goddess) was brought upon humanity by Erebus (P3 entity spawned from human desires) Meanwhile, Ameno-Sagiri (P4 entity created from human desires) was probably brought upon humanity by Izanami (P4 goddess).

This video is actually what got me to play Persona 4. Seeing Bosch play a villain and Adachi's theme were the driving force behind the first few hours of my playthrough.

That being the first Persona game I had played, finished 4 Golden, and am currently in September of P3P.

It just shows the difference between proper social life and involuntary solitude.

One of the psychologist said that he couldn't find the right word of comfort for the patient so broken. One of the comments under the article said something interesting. Something like " Get over it.
