[@zachlina4812]

Its not, it was one of the few parts of FES that was written to be non-canon because it killed Junpei's whole arc.

This man should've made it to the goddamn big leagues! He's stronger than the average person because of his time in Tartarus.

Good ol' Stupei. Never change bro.

[@PrinceOfAltea]

I'm not a huge fan of P3, but Junpei is definitely one of my favorite Persona characters. XD

[@niyol8982]

Everybody loves Junpei, he has such amazing character development and is actually pretty funny and not jus cringe unlike most “comedic reliefs”

[@DjTittySprinklez]

Why you don't like P3?

[@TheShockVox]

Funny enough I hear the opposite: being a huge fan of P3 but not loving Junpei. I’ll say, I love him more in Reload than I did in original. Thanks to the extra time with him I guess

[@Misfit_Kitten]

Why is everyone so hung up on Junpei talking about Chidori in his *DREAM*? You can definitely dream about a dead person still being alive. For all we know, he dreams about her constantly. He's obviously not a world-famous baseball player, either. It's just a dream, so she can be alive and he can be famous and maybe it rains Mad Bull or something.

[@lukerosales5879]

The creators confirmed that the revival scene was canon. They probably didn't add it on the very original game due to time constraints or something.

[@DialRforRad]

She alive dude what are you saying.

[@horizontalnoodlelmao4286]

@@DialRforRad she shouldn’t be, ruined his arc and the overall message that death is a fact of life

[@Emu-]

@@horizontalnoodlelmao4286 It didn't really ruin anything, because it helped Junpei's character in the Answer. And also it was more logical, because of her Powers. So the real question, is why would a Character have Life powers in a Game about death being a fact of life?

[@horizontalnoodlelmao4286]

@@Emu- that is a very good question, actually. One I don’t think I can answer without just naming it as a flaw in persona 3 Doesn’t change my opinion that a lot of the narrative, aesthetics and such drive home that the main theme is death being inevitable and that you hafta deal with it. They use their personas by killing themselves, Tartarus is kinda like struggling through an endless abyss, Shinjiros death along with the acceptance of set death power up Ken and Boxboi, Chihiros death and the acceptance of it power up Junpei, it always felt like the point. I didn’t play the Answer tho tbh maybe it’s not

[@lizardousgoat]

Junpei reminds me of Shaggy. He reminds me of Shaggy waaaaay too much--

[@waves2378]

He did team up with Koromaru during the argument about the keys in The Answer.

[@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028]

Well what d'ya know, Chidori being alive is canon~

[@player2-lightwater914]

It does not explicitly said that Chidori is alive. It could be just Junpei really missed Chidori a lot and the whole proposal in his dream could just be what if she was alive.

[@whammett]

the proposing daydream is so cute!! although if it were true I can imagine chidori beating his ass when he comes home 😭

[@theadmiral4157]

If chidori lived, that means makoto can possibly be revived too. Gonna watch how they'll do that

[@matboss1115]

Makoto can't be revived because he isn't dead, he's just eternally stuck as a door to seal Nyx away. If he was revived: Nyx would come back

[@little_abacus2063]

Who cares about what Atlus says it's canon?

[@Clean.Eastwood]

Nobody, but Chidori being alive ruins Junpei's arc, and the whole theme of the game (that being death, and the acceptance of it) I just don't understand why, after making so dramatic stories, with Junpei losing his loved one, and Akihiko losing his chilhood friend (Shinjiro), would Atlus ruin the whole "memento mori" theme by reviving them. Just because fans want them to be alive? fuck that.

[@segafan1316]

@@Clean.Eastwood I don't think it ruins much, as thre ar eother moments in the game where Memento Mori still has a meaning Now, if they revived Minato/Makoto, that REALLY would make me mad

[@GobaGNon]

Don Feik Bit late to the party but considering how many people die in game, it’d almost be refreshing if a character actually survived. I’m fine with Chidori surviving.

[@mr_jago2850]

I mean, there's also the theme about search meaning of life and that work on Junpei as well of she is alive.

[@animesenpai1163]

@@segafan1316 well your in for a rude awakening... While the message of P3 is Memento Mori It also referenced the Messiah, both Memento Mori and Vanitas have huge references in the Bible as well. And guess who comes back in judgment day, guess what Messiah's Arcana is... *Persona 3 Compendium* Appears before Judgment Day to save the virtuous. He is a universal figure, appearing in myth around the world. Many stories involve his death and *rebirth* .

[@IsaacCahn]

quick question, is cidori alive during arena ultimax?

[@ValenEmiya]

Well, I guess not, 'cause Arena Ultimax is a canon continuation of P3 and P4.

[@tman229]

ValenEmiya Turns out Chidori is alive. There is a secret cutscene that even I didn't know about until recently. She revived herself by taking back the life form she gave the plants while at the hospital. However, she doesn't have any memories from when she first received her persona till she was revived.

[@IsaacCahn]

tman229 that happens in fes. but is her revival canon?

[@tman229]

FES too? I thought it was P3:P only. I can't say for sure since I'm recently hearing about this but her revival seems to be canon and it seems to be more likely so considering that Junpei is drinking about proposing to Chidori and calling her his girlfriend. I doubt their would be a dream sequence like that without him waking up all depressed and crying if she was still dead.

[@NintendoProductions]

tman229 Yeah, it's in FES too. I'm pretty sure her revival is not canon though.

[@HarbingerYT]

So maxxing Junpei's Social Link is canon?

[@player2-lightwater914]

Junpei does not have a Social Link with Makoto
