Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Story Mode Persona 4 Epilogue [Adachi]

[@KillerBlade555]

Gotta love this even more when you remember in p4g Dojima said he tried to visit Adachi and Adachi refused to see him, but Dojima kept on trying.

[@shadarlogath1502]

this make me very happy

[@JohnYakooza]

To be fair tho, Dojima did treat him pretty shitty, like the time when Dojima gave Narukami his car and Adachi drove it to them, he just fucking knock him off the bike

How do i even react

[@Honest-King]

@@JohnYakooza Are you a snowflake or from the land of snowflakes (usa) ?

[@MikemasterM1]

@@JohnYakooza nah Dojima and Yu literally treat him like family. Nanako literally looked forward to the guy coming to visit because he was that close to Dojima. That’s why it’s really telling of Dojima’s character that in some way he forgave him, because Adachi really was a member of his family just like Yu and Dojima couldn’t look past that.

3:50 I absolutely love Adachi's expression here. He is embarrassed and ashamed, but somewhat happy that his bond with Dojima hasn't been broken. The original P4 may have portrayed Adachi as one sided, but this game truly made Adachi's character complete.

[@EverydayYounglife]

The original ps2 P4 hints that Adachi cares for both Ryotaro and Nanako. Before and after the battle along with sprinkling through out the game but its made more obvious in the later installments.

[@ZeroSable]

@@EverydayYounglife How did he show it in the OG game?

[@trydodis690]

@@ZeroSable In Persona 4 Golden you can see that in his social link he does actually care for people shown by his attempts to cheer Nanako up and instead he's just socially awkward and doesn't know how to deal with people's genuine kindness. However, that's not for the OG game. I guess the closest thing that shows his care to the Dojima family in the OG game is that he never directly targeted them despite how harsh Ryotaro was to him. It seems like a much more sound thing to do when all of his other victims were pretty much killed out of frustration but he never even attempted to harm Ryotaro. It's also partly due to Adachi's second warning letter that Nanako got saved quickly. Without the letter the team and Dojima wouldn't have been so quick to react to her disappearance and it's even weirder to think that Adachi could've gotten away with all the murders if he simply didn't send that second letter that served as major evidence.

[@mitsubachihachi9643]

For real though, Adachi's lucky to have Dojima as a friend

[@skyguy713]

For what he did, its really hard to forgive him. For the murders, to inadvertently harming Nanako, to what could have happened with the fog, he really has a lot against him. But man, he learned from it. He's trying to be better, in his own way. Maybe there is some hope for him yet.

[@mermidion7552]

@KyleTheB That is why Lifetime sentences never made sense to me from a practical standpoint. either there is a Chance for the criminal to atone for his sinse ,joining Society again and making up for his past mistake or the criminal cant be redeemed in which case having them in jail for centurys is just waste. same if they really turn over a new leaf, what good does it do having a someone who wants to atone and make up for the past having behind bars for the rest of their life.

[@kemeshiaedwards4879]

Even a guy like Adachi can find the light again

[@SteveTateRearou]

@KyleTheB I mean, if you want to go by a numbers game, you can atone for murder by saving more people than you killed. Say for example you killed one person, but then saved the lives of 100 after being released from jail. Does murdering someone previously invalidate the saving of those 100 lives? It's evident in Adachi's p4arena story that he stopped people from being murdered in the TV, and while his reasoning for doing so was just to follow "society's rules," this decision ultimately did save lives and it's something the previous Adachi would never have done - so he's clearly a changed man and likely wouldn't commit murder again even if he was released. Granted, I'm not suggesting Adachi should be released anytime soon, but the goal of prisons should be rehabilitation so inmates aren't a danger to society anymore. Besides, the comparison you made is a false equivalency. Adachi certainly killed 2 people and orchestrated the potential deaths of several others, but that's a far cry from murdering hundreds of people.

[@mechcannon]

@KyleTheB I think atonement is all about the attempt and less about if you can truly pay back that life you took. Adachi isn't trying to be free, in fact he's mostly trying to get the case to stick so he can be back in jail. He's literally fighting for his own sentence and to ensure the others survive, he knows he deserves the punishment. Him saving those lives doesn't invalidate what he did, that's for sure, but I think it's about facing up to consequences of your actions. You can't unkill people but there are definetely somethings you can do.

[@afrodita2157]

My almost no evidence hypothesis is the adachi who calls the fog isn't the same adachi, like if amino sigiri (however you spell it) is controlling adachi a little, he honestly sounds confused when you beat amino sigiri, like he doesn't know where he is

[@SportsGaming-ll3ru]

You see that smile there from Adachi with Dojima? That’s not one of his fake smiles, that right there is a genuine smile that he wants to hide from Dojima but cant

[@helmiboboy]

Like for real, despite everything happening and wanting to seal that bond off after the incident, He can't help but relieve that Dojima still sees him as a partner and friend. Man, what a way to end Adachi character arcs.

[@inplane9970]

I'd really love to revisit P4's cast to see how they're doing now. It would be nice to see Dojima and Adachi becoming friends again.

[@vanessachowjiaying4423]

Arena kind of serves as an aftermath story of sorts for the different generations of Persona users from P3 and 4 perspective. From P3, its likelyhood there's more to the shadow research conducted by the Kirijo group, which later on links to the creation of Aigis and Strega. Also the use of the TV world for the murders, could attact others from using it for their own twisted gain. At least Teddie and Marie decides to keep watch of the TV World, in a sense preventing any more said incidents. Even Mitsuru keeps the tabs of shadow incidents, in which she noted on the Dec 2011 incident, happens during Yu Narukami and his team's battle against Adachi. In P3 cast perpective, at least they are able to move on from Makoto Yuki's death. Aigis was able to find answers behind her birth, Mitsuru decides to move forward despite the past horrors was responsible for the whole incident. It also kind of hints the dangers of shadow related research, which really happens in 5 and more evident in Royal version, especially Maruki's research and despair resulted in his Persona to become bonkers. Because of the research, both Ren and Akechi's lives were screwed, but both are able to meet as soulmates in a sense. For P4 perspective, it gave the Investigation team a clear view of their futures, just like their social links. It also Naoto a clear view of possible consequences/darkness within the Public Safety in misuse of Shadow related research, which really happens in upcoming Scramble. Scramble also seems to serve as an aftermath story like Arena.

[@RG-ew1zz]

I feel like adachi really did care for dojima. Like he rarely shows genuine emotions during his own social link but when it's a scene with dojima with him he starts having a lot more personality.

[@angel_aeon]

He literally stopped slacking off as soon as Dojima gave him a hint of positive feedback lol.

[@mitsubachihachi9643]

I think this is the only time adachi genuinely smiles and I think he's genuinely touched that Dojima still sees him as family even though he could've cut him off.

[@alecpheonix0761]

This ending I feel is perfect for Adachi, he wasn’t born a villain he was a victim of circumstance, he hated those who were special because he kept losing at life due to their actions even though he earned being special, so when he got his powers he just wanted to be that type of special person the one who controls others life, he never believed in connections because that’s just how he was raised and treated, anyone could have reached out to him, but they didn’t only Narukami did and he rejected it, so it’s amazing to see Adachi’s story end with him realizing he had the thing that he never knew how it felt to have all along a genuine friend, and it just makes him such a standout in persona villains for having such an amazing ending since most of them just die.

Rutawind How? Namatame targeted Nanako on his own.

And how are they trash? They’re all great, imo.

[@Redbird-dh7mu]

Actually that was Namatame, Adachi had little to nothing to do with Nanako getting hurt. Keep in mind that while Adachi accidentally gave Namatame the idea of putting them in the TV, Adachi never targeted the people that Namatame threw in the TV. Adachi might actually be a little mad at Namatame for targeting Nanako as he lets the investigation team know where he is in the hospital. Of course, that could be Adachi trying to silence the one guy who could spill the beans, but he doesn’t really need to as Namatame didn’t know who the killer was and had no reason to suspect that Namatame would somehow lead the investigation team to the truth
