You know what I like about Mitsuo's shadow? It's the best representation of him. With out the armor of video games he's just a simple and vulnerable baby.

[@corjonbett]

In my mind, it's because Mitsuo is so crazy that he has no true self anymore, he's exposing every last thing about himself to try to get attention, so his Shadow, his repressed self, is malnourished and weak as a result. Makes me wonder how tough a SAN Shadow Mitsuo would have been...

[@bloodyidit4506]

@@jackiedim7028 He hides with his hobbies, but when people see the real him, he panics and lashes out. Anyone who gets close to him would suffer more then anyone who knows him less, since his depression has overtaken him and essentially made him a lost cause. People with depression often lash out at the ones they love. Intentional or not, it's how it is.

[@arctohru]

And the fact that he became delusional from the murder he committed, he actually believes his own delusions, he no longer has a "True Self" which is also noted by the fact that he is the only shadow that does not say "I am a shadow, of your true inner self" it just says "I am a shadow"

[@vfaulkon]

A lot of people think that Mitsuo basically became his own Shadow by the end of things, but I view it differently. Mitsuo's Shadow is as honest about Mitsuo's hidden feelings as everyone else's is about themselves. Mitsuo, deep down, believes he really IS nothing - nothing special, nothing unique, no one of consequence. The idea bothers him so much, makes him so desperate, that even being a troubled teen killer is more appealing. He despises the idea of being nothing so much that, even when confronted with a literal manifestation of his inner feelings telling him TO HIS FACE what he's feeling, he still denies it hard enough to make his shadow just...give up. Mitsuo, after his boss fight, commits to the idea of being a murderer and going to jail over accepting his fear of being a nobody. That's why he's such an impactful character in the end, even if his contribution to the overall story of P4 is minimal. You can't save him, not even a little bit. Even after everything the Investigation Team does, Mitsuo gives up completely on facing his inner demons, and thus gives up on his humanity. He *was* a helpless, wailing baby hiding behind his delusions...now he's not even that.

[@MrTherandomguy42]

I know that there a lot of people that hate this character mainly because of his personality and that he could of been left out of the story entirely (the latter of which I can agree on), but in regards to his personality, I actually find him to be scarily relatable to myself because I was once like that (more specifically the isloation, loneliness, and drowning his sorrows in video games and internet thing) and I kinda still am in some aspects. I wouldn't go as far as to kill someone just to get attention because I do have others that do care about me and I am trying to make something with my life (I have a job and I plan to move out of my parents house to live with my elderly great aunt as they both suggested I should do). Like his shadow tells him, he is empty and has nothing. It's really sad when you think about it.

[@luminous3558]

MrTherandomguy42 there are people who believe that mitsuo could´ve been left out ? he is one of the most important characters story wise since he is the anomaly in the mystery, the one mistake the killer made. But since the game wants the protagonists to be stupid and just adjust the facts to the theory(and not the other way round) they dont pick up on that till very late.

[@TheSacredBlade]

MrTherandomguy42 no, most people hate him because, to put it bluntly, Atlus took off their kiddie gloves with this fight and put their hand In the main series gauntlet

[@okjeffy6581]

I hate him but at the same time relate. Because I was like him too. everyone was a Mitsuo in one point in their life.

[@TactlessGuy]

Mitsuo was a pretty dark character in this game. It felt more uncomfortable knowing his character than even exposing Adachi, since there are a lot of people who can relate to Mitsuo. Mitsuo has zero security or self-identity. He's literally a baby on the inside, and babies are constantly in need of attention for others. Later on in life, his development continues to stagnate and his self of self is hollow, which is why it's represented by an 8-bit character. Since he's only an infant, he never developed theory of mind. He's alone in the world and sees himself as the only real person, which is why he's the "Hero" and why he feels no remorse for murdering other people since he literally can't comprehend the value of people other than himself. He's a prime example of someone who has narcissistic personality disorder. In the end, his egotistical nature was so deep that he couldn't awaken his Persona because he's fundamentally incapable of self-awareness, because to be truly self-aware requires you to be able to see yourself through other people.

[@GiordanDiodato]

if you pay attention to his shadow's dialogue, it doesn't say "I am a Shadow, the True Self!" like the others. Instead, it says "I am a Shadow, I'll end your existence!" It shows that the Shadow is no longer his "true self" anymore and Mitsuo is acting more like a shadow self than his actual shadow.

[@vinegar4556]

I think another factor that makes Mitsuo's story scarier is that he doesn't get a happy ending by any means. As we see in the true ending of P4 and then Ultimax, Adachi does make small steps towards bettering himself, but Mitsuo doesn't even have that, rejecting his shadow until it just gives up and presumably spending the rest of his life in prison, in complete denial over what happened. He never accepted his true self, the polar opposite of Adachi, who accepted himself right off the bat, and the latter can at least be considered a somewhat admirable quality.

[@archimedekebab8196]

Adachi is the same, because he was alone he became sick of life and became a killer like Mitsuo and its not because your in a state of depression that you will become a killer its stupid. This guy was crazy since the beginning

[@PWLfr]

I wonder how OP his Persona would be

[@brendansage6876]

Like @vinegar4556 said, Mitsuo is arguably a worse person than Adachi. In P4Au, it shows that Adachi does genuinely regret the murders he committed, and is a model prisoner. He's even still on mostly good terms with Dojima, who comes to visit him, and while he's still an asshole, he values his own defeat and the lessons he learned more than he would like to admit. After Mitsuo's loss, he maniacally reiterates his own delusions, to the point where his Shadow vanishes, because the negative aspects of his Shadow are less Shadow-like than the real Mitsuo. Mitsuo is so far gone that he possibly has genuinely convinced himself that he murdered the victims that Adachi did, and is almost excited to be carted off to prison because he finally found some attention in his miserable life. TL;DR Mitsuo is possibly more of a terrible person than Adachi because Mitsuo is utterly incapable of not only changing, but just seeing reality for what it is in the first place. He can't begin to change because he can't even begin to comprehend reality in order to change in the first place.

Kenpokid4 The persona series is most likely always going to be focused around "The social shit" because that's what made Persona both popular and gave it a different identity to the rest of the SMT series, and it was most likely added due to the fact that visual novels in Japan are immensely popular. And in terms of milking Persona 3 has had just as much in Japan as Persona 4 has in the west.

So much infighting between MegaTen fans. Can't we all get along? I like the mainline SMT games (especially 3 and 4, which may be my favorite games of all time). They provide a dark, foreboding atmosphere, and convey the feeling of loneliness directly to the player, with great impact. The feelings the main games inspire in me have even altered the way I think about life. Even 1, the weakest of the main games, while not being as developed story-wise, is pretty fun. The Persona series is also a good series. The games tend focus more on character development rather than world building or plot, which is obviously far different from the main-line games. Yes, the Persona games can be considered "more generic," but this isn't inherently a bad thing, so long as they make it engaging and not completely derivative (which Atlus does). Both series have their strengths and weaknesses. I haven't played most of the spinoffs, but they are usually good games, and their narrative tends to fall into "mainline like," "persona like," or somewhere in between. Again, none of these categories should be the target of contempt. They both have artistic merit. Of course, they might not appeal to you individually, but that is irrelevant. I don't really care for The Legend of Zelda personally, but I recognize that it is a great series. So yeah, can everyone just take a deep breath and appreciate each other's tastes?

[@NocturnalDecay]

Genuinely, Shadow Mitsuo was the first "pain in my ass" boss since Shadow Yukiko. It's a trend for me in Persona games to struggle a LOT on the first dungeon and then somehow blaze through the rest, killing the boss after anywhere from 1-4 tries, but I always stumble over one before picking up again. In Royal, the snag was Okumura's Palace, and in Golden, it was Void Quest.

[@adamzafry7957]

I fought Mitsuo at Level 41 I think? Is that overleveled? I didnt really have trouble with him only thing that annoys me is his evil smile and Ghastling whail

[@breloompauncher5593]

@@NocturnalDecay Yeah Okumura is brutal cause he can keep looping the phases. You're more likely to time out than to die. Ironically, Merciless mode makes the fight easier due to increased damage output. For me in Persona 3 it was the Dancing Lovers who hit you with Garudyne and Magarudyne when you're still in the mid 20's with iffy access to the mid-tier spells. Also if you bring Yukari they have Marin Karin and she heals them back to full. I basically just SP stall them. I do know of other people who had issues with the Jotun of power in the last area

What are you talking about? Shadow Teddie had like 5 attacks and he repeated the same pattern over and over again: Whisper, Mind Charge, Mabufula. Yeah, sometimes he could use Marakunda and Heat Wave, but... Once you've learned the pattern, that boss is a piece of cake. On the other hand, this pixelated piece of crap can 1shot your party members. And that's randomized! Like "Ehi, are you sick of this SO DAMN LONG battle? It would be a shame if someone 1-hit KO'd you". BANG Game Over. Both the battles, though, were quite bad. The only problem in beating P4's bosses is the CRAZY damage output. But, actually, you can just grind your way through the whole game.

[@cola2538]

I wish that when Yu dies, the party members fight on their own. However, the characters might mess up occasionly, (eg. giving a Revival Bead to Teddie as opposed to Yu, hitting the wrong Shadow, using the wrong move.) After 3 turns they lose their sanity, and pass out on the battlefield. Game Over. However! If you manage to revive the MC (Yu) the PMs return to normal. Better then losing when Yu dies.

[@IvanMaster7]

+Tsukistar1 The real reason you get a Game Over is revealed at the very end of the game. SPOILER Yu represents a side of humanity in Izanami's game, when he is defeated he is removed from the game. Presumably you friends do toss a revival bead to help you back up, but by then the damage is already done and you are now in an unwinnable situation. Besides, SMT games all have the WE CANNOT GO ON WITHOUT YOU. It finally took until SMTIV for that not to apply.

When it starts unleash your mind charged magic attack with black frost to deal substantial damage and have your team deal more on top of it if your team can all at least deal medium magic damage you should be able to destroy the shell. Yukiko has the ability to remove fear from the whole party I completely forgot to utilize that during the fight but still managed if anyone is inflicted with fear get rid of it asap you need everyone fighting to stop the shell from coming back.

In fact, I never even said Persona is good. That would be a matter of opinion, and unlike you and those like you, I don't try to force my opinion down other people's throat. Of course, everything you say about the Persona fan base is absolutely true. You and other SMT elitists know our secret, you know everything about us. We're lesser humans than you. You have proven everything I've said of SMT elitists as well. If you detest Persona 3 and 4 so much, why are you lurking on the comments section of a P4G video? Looking for a place to attack others?
