Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade - Gunjou no Meikyuu | Shinji's "Death"

I'm going to jump straight to the point. I have always shipped Kotone with Shinji more than I did with her and Akihiko. There's something about these two characters that makes me feel warm inside. Fortunately for me, the play for Persona 3 agrees with me and high-key ships her with Shinji. I love how for that exact moment, Kotone shows a moment of weakness when she witnesses Shinji succumbing to his wounds and Shinji just playfully teases her right before he slips away. That chokes me up! They actually like each other and we all know how the story ends for both of them. :(
There are other Persona Weird Masquerade videos that show moments of her and Shinji together so it'd be a waste for me to post them up here. I'll leave a link to moments in the description below.

Things aside Damn, Ken's actor is very good especially for his age. Thry did the castings right!

[@n-extrafries-surprise]

Kotone's reaction though... My heart- I just cant-

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

Shinjiro... Baka! You made Kotone-chan cry!!! 😭😭😭

[@mileagebeanie1305]

I ship Kotone and Shinji so much as well... It's a good thing that there's a pack of tissues just beside me right now.

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

Fawk, man! Give us an anime version of Persona 3 ft. Kotone!

[@mileagebeanie1305]

RPG-Art Otaku! And if we assume that maxing out Social Links is canon, then that means Shinji's alive in a world where Kotone exists--We desparately need that anime right now!!

[@one-wingedangel5107]

I think in Sakuya's version (maleMc), Chidori and Shinji dies like in the original version. In Kotone's version (femaleMc), they were both spared by the adaptation. I mean in Fes and Portable we have those options right?

[@linkincode]

Ehh i ship her with Aigis

[@gingerhoney1038]

@@mileagebeanie1305 I've heard from my brother that every social link is maxed out. The only reason it isn't shown is because it would eat up about 50% of the screentime if you showed every single interaction.

[@PhoebeStudio00]

Oh they went to the "shinji is comatose until the end of the game" route

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

Only in the play as Kotone. As for Sakuya's route, hahaha no.

[@samifranco5541]

@@rpg-artotaku9850 yea i figure since the only way to actually save him is if you had his social link maxed

[@one-wingedangel5107]

@@samifranco5541 Yeah, and that’s only available in the Femc route. Only makes sense to pick the different choices so that both versions aren’t the same, therefore viewing both plays are varying experiences.

[@gingerhoney1038]

"Until end of game" This is a stage play.

[@luckynarutostar123]

i just got here from the chidori revival....why must i go from one feels to another feels....i really wish these were translated so i could understand them. but other than that these are amazingly done!!!!

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

I know, right? I wish I knew Japanese! I understand the situation thanks to me playing through the game but as for everything word for word, that is beyond my power. 😩

[@luckynarutostar123]

sadly i only know the basics and can kind of make out what they're saying. but sadly that won't help in anyway. i can still barely make out what they say XD im sorry dude

[@yanchi7831]

I AM STILL WATCHING THIS EVEN THOUGH IT'S KILLING ME I'M HIGH KEY SHIPPING KOTONE AND SHINJI!

(spoilers) tragedy enjoyers when their favorite character is powerless to protect the person she loves and has to watch him bleed out in front of her: 🤩🤩🤩 tragedy enjoyers when the character who spends the whole story desperate for connection and doing all she can for others because of it loses one of the few relationships where she doesn't have to do anything but simply be: 🎉🎉🎉 tragedy enjoyers when his death was inevitable and he spent years of his life preparing for it, until he was taught to cherish his life and brought back from the brink because of love, and now has to find out how to live without the person who taught him that lesson in the first place: 😍😍😍 tragedy enjoyers when the character who showed care and brought light to the lives of everyone around her is dead, while the character who spent his life living as if he was already dead has to live (for her sake): ❤❤❤

Where can I find the full version of these musicals?

[@gingerhoney1038]

They're sold in DVDs in Japan. That's all I know.

[@adbakingmusicX]

Please post the male version of this part please

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

Got ya covered. :)

Hi-ya! Do you also have the final battle for the male version? ☺️ ugh. I’ve been itching to understand them. They’re all good! 👏🏻

[@pallasathena7904]

I've been really wanting to see that one! O need to see how it ends!

[@NoelShourai]

Is that Ray Fujita?

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

You are SO right! Very observant. 😄

[@NoelShourai]

@@rpg-artotaku9850 Yeah, I was surprised to see him playing Shinjiro in the stage play; for some reason I just recognized him right away. I remember him most for Kitazaki in Kamen Rider 555 and Rei Suzumura from the GARO series.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

There's a stage play for Persona 3? That's cool. What about P4?

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

There is not unfortunately. I wish there was.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

I'd watch that, but I would need subtitles.

[@rpg-artotaku9850]

@@destroyerblackdragon too bad there are no subs. I'd need to have a translator.

[@jjQlLlLq]

Yes there is? I have the full raw for P4 stageplay, though of course, no subs… and I don't have P4A & P4AU stageplays, though they exist too. A couple of clips are up somewhere on KZbin

[@kandasakura3]

They have, Persona 4 Visualive and Visualive The Evolution, but they cut down some parts of the storyline unlike this Persona 3 WM.

[@doctornsilver3882]

Not to ruin the mood, or to be insensitive culturally, but turn on captions and go to 5:02

[@mayphan9779]

What does it say?
