But come on this is your farewell party!] Chie: Yeah us girls have cooked up some stuff that’ll wipe the floor with you guys! <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/Party_zpsjl7xazst.png" width="827" height="603" alt="Cook"> Yosuke: More like knock us out to the floor. Oh come one remember Mystery Food X?! You grimace as you recall the monstrosity they called curry earlier in the year at the camping trip. Yukiko: That was a mistake, don’t you remember the cake we baked? That turned out good. Kanji: That was only because of Naoto and I distinctly remember hearing it took you 3 tries! Rise: Shut up Moronji!! Kanji: Don’t call me that! Yosuke: Anyway even though it’s his farewell party we don’t want any casualties to ruin, sorry partner but can you cook so we all don’t killed by Mystery Food X 2nd impact? Naoto: I can help too Yosuke senpai so just relax. Marie: I’ll help too, still haven’t cooked much since the room doesn’t have elcectic loutwit, but my Valentines chocolate came out ok. Yosuke: You mean electric outlet? (if: $GF is "Marie")[Rise: Ahh Marie-Chan you gave him Chocolates?! I reserved senpai for that day and you still did that?! Marie: Whatever, that was cheating and you know it. That reservation was cancelled. Rise: Why, you!! Rise and Marie glares at each other. ](if: $GF is not "Marie")[$GF:You got chocolates from Marie-chan? $GF glares at you.] Yosuke: Ahh ok ok everyone, come on guys this is supposed to be Yu’s last day! Let’s all have a good send off for him. Chie: That's right! Now Yosuke try this out! Yosuke: Wait ghh.

Don’t leave this bear to fend for himself! Kanji: Hey Yosuke Senpai take it easy, I got some medicine! Yosuke runs around screaming and moaning in pain as you walk over to the pot to see what the girls were concocting. <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/Girlscook_zpscoxxcotz.png" width="827" height="603" alt="RIP Yosuke"> You grimace as in the pot is what you suppose was to be a stew of some sorts but as usual the girls have created a new lethal weapon. <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/Food_zpslrzzoyvk.png" width="827" height="603" alt="RIP Yosuke"> [[We shouldn’t eat this…...I guess I’ll do some cooking.->Part 1Ba]] [[Mystery Food X 2nd Impact…..->Part 1Bb]]

Chie: No Narukami-kun, you’re the reason why we’re having this party! Yukiko: That’s right we just missed up a little, we just gotta again so just relax Narukami-kun. <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/foodcontest_zpspldzzidl.png" width="827" height="603" alt="RIP Yosuke"> Rise: Hmm it just needed more spice! As the girls try to say it’s no problem, Naoto is just shaking her head. Naoto: Maybe following the recipe is a better idea? Marie: Hmm even I can cook better and I normally can’t cook. Rise: That’s it we’re having a cooking showdown again!! Kanji: NO!!!! I didn’t bring enough stomach medicine for everyone! All the girls rush towards the kitchen and begin cooking? You see Chie unsure of what she is supposed to do, Yukiko looks confident but you can tell she is doing everything wrong, Rise is just putting in spicy after spicy, Naoto is consulting a cookbook at least, and Marie you have no idea what in the world she is doing but it seems to be on track. Chie: All right we’re done!! Rise: Ok Yu-senpai will be the judge! <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/feed_zpsi4soyyul.png" width="827" height="603" alt="RIP Yu"> Chie: Umm so it’s curry but I’m not sure how it came out haha... You first take a bite of Chie’s curry?? It tastes terrible….. Yukiko: Ok me next I made some stew, I was really careful with the ingredient choice! You swallow Yukiko’s stew and are confused as to how there is no taste. Rise: So I made some special Risette omurice! I know you’ll love it senpai!! You take a bite of the rice and egg and you quickly feel your tongue on fire, but your enthralling expression allows you to keep a straight face. Naoto: Well senpai this should be ok, it’s just simple Oyakodon. You take a bite of the chicken, egg, and rice. Luckily it tastes normal. Marie: Hmm not really sure what I made but I think it’s like those beef skewers? You grab a skewer and bite into it. It taste like something you’ve never had before and you’re quite unsure if it tastes good or not. Yosuke: Well partner you’re somehow still living, so who was the best. [[$GF->Part1Baa]]

Rise: That’s mean Yu-senpai! Rise pouts at you as Chie and Yukiko cast a look on you. Kanji: Senpai is just being honest, I mean would you eat it?! Chie, Yukiko, and Rise look at their own cooking and grimace in response. Kanji: See? Just let senpai cook, I’ll help out. Naoto: I can be of assistance as well. Teddie: Sensei just put me to work, I’ll do anything! Marie: I can do the basic stuff just tell me what I need to do. You and your friends get to work cooking some real food while most of the girls are pouting. You finish making all the word and eat with everyone. Chie: Yeah I knew it Narukami-kun is just the best cook out of us haha…. Yukiko: Hmm he didn’t use too much but he got this kind of depth? Rise: ………….it’s not fair Naoto: Senpai this is great, I must ask for the recipe. Marie: Hmm it really is delicious, tch I’ll cook better than you just you watch jerk!! (if: $GF is "Chie")[Chie: Ahh you’re still a better cook…..I’ll cook better soon Yu! ](if: $GF is "Yukiko")[Yukiko: Oh this is tasty, please taste my bento again when you come back!](if: $GF is "Rise")[Rise: It’s not fair Yu-senpai and I’m supposed to be the girlfriend…...Give me some lessons in the summer ok?](if: $GF is "Naoto")[Naoto: Heh, still not surprised by this at all. Senpai you truly are amazing. Teach me how to cook like this soon…...ok?](if: $GF is "Marie")[Marie: You truly are unlike everyone else. Heh when you come back it’s gonna be me cooking for you got it stupid jerk?] After eating you and friends just relax reminiscing of the whole year. As you’re relaxing you think about how it would be proper if you talk with $GF in private.

Ihateyoustupid!] Yosuke leans over to whisper to you with a grin. Yosuke: Real smooth partner, real smooth. Kanji: Well that was probably an overall disaster. Should I just call Aiya for delivery? Teddie: Oh I want Ayia! Yosuke: Ok Ok Ok! I'll give a call! I know Aika-chan will be here quick and happy about the business. You and your friends eat the food as soon as it arrives.

Yosuke: Teddie shut it! Teddie: Ow! Yosuke hits Teddie on the head as he starts snickering. You close the door behind you as you see $GF looking around your room. $GF: Hey thanks for coming up!

You and $GF walk down back to the living with Yosuke and the others in thought. Yosuke: Hey Yu, hope you enjoyed yourself with $GF! But we were just thinking about the case and how it all started. It felt like so many things connected but shouldn't have. Like we got our Personas from confronting our shadows but you never needed to do that. You also ponder on that. How did you get your Persona ability? You remember the letter you got and show Yosuke. Yosuke grimaces at the sight of it. Yosuke: Partner that better not be another warning letter, we don't need that again. Wait it's from jail? Wait it's from Adachi?! Everyone looks surprised as you read it. "I know you're surprised to get this from me. As I agreed to I will abide to this world's rules. My game is over but I remembered something to tell you. It's about how this all started, the Midnight Channel. When I first moved into town I heard the rumors about it from someone. But I can't remember who. Since Namatame and I gained our powers to enter the TV world when we first moved to Inaba, we believe something was triggered then. Don't know how much this was helpful but just wanted to tell you that."

You'll head towards the new area where Izanami awaits and suddenly numerous shadows appear, blocking your path. Yosuke: Partner just leave these guys to us and go save $GF!!

Nanako: See you later big bro, bye-bye! You board the train waving goodbye to your friends and family as the train departs. You take a seat, feeling restless as you try to comprehend what has happened. No one remembers $GF and most likely when everyone was trying to save her. You inspect the comb remembering that combs represent seperation. You notice a message on it hearing Izanami's voice in your head Izanami: You have choosen to face the truth but then turn your back on it. Everyone else is living in a peaceful lie of $GF's nonexistence while you will forever be burdened with the knowledge of her, powerless to save her. This is the truth you must live in. You look outside noticing it to start rainng as you look back down feeling overwhelemd by the fact that you know $GF is somewhere out there but you're powerless to save her. <img src="http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g331/JasonLu18/BadEnding_zpseqldquqi.png" width="827" height="603" alt="Bad Ending"> [[FIN->Credits]]

So Yu Narukami has moved from the city to the town of Inaba in April 2011 for 1 year, staying with his uncle Dojima and little cousin Nanako. Before meeting the two Yu encounters a mysterious looking black haired girl who picked up the note he dropped. Yu meets his uncle and cousin and they stop by a gas station quickly. The gas station attendant chats with Yu and shakes his hand before going back to work. Yu feels faint and so the family quickly heads home for the evening. The next day Yu enrolls in Yasogami High School and befriends students Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, and Yosuke Hanamura. An urban legend called the Midnight Channel has been the talk of town where if you stare into a turned off TV on a rainy day at midnight you’ll see an image of your soulmate. Yu and his friends are then told to go home as an incident has occurred in town. While Yu walking with Chie and Yukiko, they all find out that TV announcer Mayumi Yamano was found dead hanging upside from a TV antenna. That night Yu tries out the Midnight Channel rumor and is surprised to see a blurred image of someone. As he saw that image he suddenly heard voices before falling and somehow putting his hand into the TV. He pulls himself out stunned to what just happened and resolves to go to sleep. Yu tells his friends the next day of the events that occurred but they do not believe him and Yu along with Yosuke and Chie decide go to Junes Department store to check out the electronics. While there Yu puts his hand into the TV shocking his friends and an accident leads to them falling in completely. They fall into a strange foggy world and explore it trying to find an exit. They wind up in a creepy red room with some torn posters on the wall that leaves them scared as they proceed to investigate the world. The group encounters a strange bear named Teddie who provides them the exit from the world. The next day, the body of Saki Konishi, the girl who discovered the body of Mayumi and Yosuke’s crush, is found dead hanging upside down from a telephone pole. Yosuke believing that the strange TV world has a connection to Saki’s death as well as the Midnight Channel asks Yu to go back to that world again to investigate. Upon arrival and encountering Teddie again, who agrees to help them and has no memories or knowledge of his origins, they find an area that resembles the Inaba Shopping District. Before investigating more the monsters of the world, shadows, appear and prepare to attack the group. Yu suddenly hears a voice and manifests his Persona Izanagi to defeat the shadows. The group then proceeds to investigate Saki’s family liquor store. In the area everyone hears Saki’s voice yelling her true feelings of distaste towards Yosuke. Afterwards another darker Yosuke appears mocking him, claiming how pathetic it was to lie about his feelings toward Saki and he was just looking for a thrill ride. Yosuke unable to accept this, rejects his other self who transforms into a giant shadow. Yu is forced to destroy the shadow and Yosuke with great difficulty accepts his other self which transforms into his Persona. The group deduces that these other shadow-selves are the repressed feelings of an individual and rejection causes them to go berserk and kill the original person as well as that the person creates an almost mini world in the TV world as a result of their repressed feelings. They also figure out that someone has been throwing people into the TV world resulting in the deaths of Saki Konishi and Mayumi Yamano. Yu and Yosuke form the Investigation team to try to figure who the murderer throwing people into the TV world.

The next day they find out Yukiko has gone missing and after seeing her on the Midnight Channel, Yu and Yosuke deduce that Yukiko was thrown in. After talking with Chie about it she wants join in rescuing Yukiko despite not having a Persona. The group enters the TV world and enters in a strange castle they saw Yukiko at on the Midnight Channel. As they investigate Chie’s shadow appears which leads to another battle as she rejects it. After defeating it and Chie accepting herself and receiving her Persona, they decide to go back to recover and find Yukiko the next day. The Investigation team returns to the castle and confront Yukiko’s rejected shadow. After rescuing Yukiko and her receiving her Persona, the group returns home. During the school year, Yu is introduced by Margaret to Marie, whom Yu recognizes as the strange girl he encountered when first arriving in Inaba. Marie has no memories of who she is and wishes to find them. Yu agrees to help her as well as show her around town rather than have her stay in the Velvet Room. When a new person is shown on the Midnight Channel, the Investigation team deduces that whoever was recently shown on TV is the next person on the Midnight Channel. They believe that person to be Kanji Tatsumi, the big delinquent of the school. When they try to meet Kanji, they briefly encounter a young man talking with Kanji’s mother. He quickly leaves while the group chats with Kanji’s mother. As they leave, they see that Kanji is talking with the young man. The next day Chie and Yosuke tail Kanji who meets with the young man before getting discovered while Yu and Yukiko keep watch of Kanji’s home since the murderer would either confront him or go to his home. They fail to catch anyone and learn later that night Kanji has gone missing. After some trouble while tracking down Kanji they locate him in Steamy Bathhouse. After seeing his repressed feelings of his insecure sexuality and how he isn’t as rough as people make him out to be, the team defeats his shadow and Kanji accepts himself and receives his Persona.

Later on the team learns that local celebrity model Rise Kujikawa is moving to Inaba and group fears that she will be thrown into the TV. They fail in preventing her getting kidnapped and head to the TV world to find her. Rise like everyone else is unable to accept her repressed feelings and her shadow goes berserk. The team is unable to defeat and are nearly wiped out until Teddie, who has never fought, jumps in using his inner power to defeat the shadow. Rise receives her Persona just as Teddie’s inner emotions manifest into his shadow. The team defeats his Persona and Teddie also gains a Persona. Rise then takes over Teddie’s role of support and Teddie joins the group in fighting. Teddie also gains a human form with his bear form being a costume and lives at Yosuke’s home. The next day the group learns their homeroom teacher, Kinshiro Morooka, was found dead similar to the past victims despite having never been on TV. Yu and his friends are all shocked by how this breaks the previous patterns before encountering the young man who introduces himself as aspiring detective Naoto Shirogane. He announces to the group that the police has found a suspect who has confessed and that they can stop investigating. As summer break starts, a clear image of a strange boy appears on the Midnight Channel and taunts the Investigation team to find him. The team suspects him to be the culprit and looks around town for information about him. They find out he is a student named Mitsuo Kubo and he is from another high school. Entering the world, the Investigation Team confronts Mitsuo and his shadow which goes beserk forcing them to defeat it. However Mitsuo’s shadow doesn’t become a Persona and he is handed over to the police as the killer.

As summer ends and the next semester starts, aspiring detective Naoto Shirogane enrolls as a first year at YasoGami High School and discusses with the team is doubts of Mitsuo Kubo being the true killer. Naoto baits himself into being kidnapped by appearing on TV and in extension the Midnight Channel. Naoto disappears and Yu and the team head into the TV world to rescue him. As Naoto rejects his shadow-self, the team finds out Naoto is actually a girl, taking on a male identity to avoid sexism in the police department. After defeating the shadow-self and Naoto receiving her Persona, Naoto joins the Investigation Team as the team understand that Mitsuo Kubo was just a copycat killer. During the year Yu bonds with Marie as she accepts that while she is unable to regain her memories, she is able to create new memories with Yu and his friends. Marie has fun creating memories with Yu and the investigation through numerous activities in the year as she slowly breaks out of her cold shell. On October 20th Yu receives an anonymous letter telling him to “don’t rescue anymore”. The team is unable to figure out much who of sent the letter other than they are closer to the team than they thought to be. On November 5th Yu receives another letter telling him “"if you don’t stop this time someone close will be put in and killed", Dojima also sees the letter and takes Yu to the police station for their ties to the murder cases. Nanako is then kidnapped by the true killer as the Investigation Team meet up at the police station and quickly deduce that it is Taro Namatame, former city council secretary who had an affair with the first victim Mayumi Yamano, had been using his new job as delivery man to easily throw people into the TV in his delivery truck. Dojima gives chase to Namatame resulting in a car crash and severely injuring Dojima. Yu and the team quickly realize Nanako was thrown into the TV world where Namatame followed. When they arrive and confront Namatame who has Nanako by him, who tells them all he was saving people, a shadow stems from him as the group gets Nanako away from him. The shadow attacks and the Investigation Team defeats it, afterwards they quickly get Nanako and Namatame to the hospital as they were both injured for staying too long in the TV world.

The group is shocked to see in the same fog from the TV world in Inaba and is resulting in people falling ill. Everyone is stressed out as Nanako remains ill and the doctors are unable to pin the cause of it. On December 3rd assistant to Dojima, Tohru Adachi, informs Yu that Nanako’s condition has worsened. As Yu and the team arrive to see Nanako, she appears to succumb to her wounds and appears to die. An emotional Dojima attempts to head to Namatame’s ward and kill him but is prevented by the guards as he injures himself once more. As the guards take Dojima back to his ward, the Investigation Team confront Namatame and find him to be mentally unstable. Knowing that the lack of evidence will allow Namatame get off scot free, Yosuke argues to throw Namatame in to the TV in his ward which would result in his death. As they all argue as to what to due, Yu speaks up as he believes that they have not arrived at the truth yet. Namatame is spared and a few days later he explains his actions. Namatame explains he was not responsible for the deaths of Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi but recognized that they died after appearing on TV. So he decided to try to save people and using his power of entering into the TV world would throw in the people that appeared on the Midnight Channel without knowing the dangers of the world. As the Investigation Team thinks of who was the one who killed the first two victims and the one sent in the warning letters, Yu thinks of Adachi. As Yu brings up Adachi they slowly start connecting his previous interactions with the first victims during his work as well as the ability he had towards keeping tabs on the group and how easy he could deliver the letters at Yu’s home. The team heads to the hospital and along with Dojima confront Adachi. Adachi, in an outburst, accidentally gives out his ability to enter the TV world. He quickly flees into a hospital ward and jumps into the TV world. Dojima begs Yu to bring Adachi to justice. When the Investigation Team confront Adachi in the TV world, he explains how he killed the first victims, throwing Mitsuo Kubo into the TV world, and how he manipulated Namatame to kidnap the people on the Midnight Channel. The group then battles Adachi defeating him, but then are forced to fight the spirit possessing him Ameno-Sagiri, the spirit responsible for the fog. The group defeats it and take Adachi back to the real world to face judgement for his actions.

Yu and the group confronts Marie and she explains her real name is Kusumi-no-Okami; that she was spy for Ameno-Sagiri, the one responsible for the fog. She explains that after they defeated Ameno-Sagiri, she fulfilled her role to absorb all the fog into her body and wishes vanish to prevent it from being released in human world.
