Hello.
I see.
So you lost a friend.
In this world, many people die ever y day.
Until recently, I saw this as natural as the blowing of the wind.
But now...
Now I see things differently.
I made my f irst friend, you see.
I don't know if you see that as a good thing or not , though.
Maybe I can guess what you're thinking.
At the end of the day, we're all alone in the world.
Why bother getting close to others?
It only means that you'll be hur t when you lose them.
No matter how much you cherish something,
once it's gone, that's the end of it .
So it's better to never have anything at all.
You don't need anything.
You don't want anything.
I've become cer tain of something recently.
You know that end, sometimes called "the Fall," that I've told you about?
It's ver y nearly here.
But in a way, the Fall may truly be salvation.
Instead of living in sorrow after losing someone dear,
wouldn't it be much easier to destroy yourself and disappear?
Now, come for th.
And judgment shall be passed!
Pathetic.
Chidori!
Stop this!
It's coming!
Palladion!
Takeba!
On it !
All your pain and sorrow will end together with you.
It may be exactly what you've always wanted.
You've been blaming yourself all along, right?
You genuinely believe that it's your fault your friend died.
You're too kind for your own good.
T here's nothing I can do to ease that pain for you.
T here's nothing anyone can do to ease that pain.
But ...
T he one thing I can do is stay with you as we await the coming of the Fall.
I know.
Well, now aren't you a stubborn one.
I'm not done yet !
If I were to die here, I...
I'd never live it down!
I could never face you again,
Shinji!
It hur ts so much,
but you still can't abandon your friends who continue to push forward.
Aragaki...
I won't ask you to forgive me.
I know this won't make up for anything.
But even so...
I'll f inish what you couldn't !
You don't want to lose anyone ever again.
And you don't want anyone to die because of you ever again.
And that's why...
You're going to f ight .
Okay, I'll respect your decision.
Makoto!
Honestly, it took you long enough!
Can you f ight , Yuuki?
Persona.
Polydeuces!
Don't count me out !
Nemesis!
Something's gotten into them!
Don't move!
One more step, and he's—
Neutralize the enemy !
Siegfried!
Finish it , Yuuki!
It's all on you now!
It's f inally over.
A new day has arrived.
Both for you,
and for me.
I've f inally pieced my fragmented memories together.
I understand my role clearly now.
T he time has come.
It pains me deeply to say this, but I must .
I'm afraid this is goodbye.
I will treasure our conversations forever.
Even if today is our last ,
the bond we share will never be severed.
Don't ever forget that .
I know this for sure now.
Our friendship was a miracle to me.
But miracles can't last forever.
It was fun while it lasted.
Wait !
See you.
It's done now, Aragaki.
We did the right thing, didn't we?
Amada...
She has minimal external wounds.
She didn't show any resistance either.
Chidori...
Still, she hasn't answered any of our questions.
Takaya and Jin, was it?
T hey seemingly vanished into thin air,
but she might know where they've gone.
Who cares about that !?
Chidori is safe and under our care!
I'm happy with that alone!
I see.
Plus, we're gonna get to eat tons of good stuff at our par ty tonight !
True.
Well then, shall we get going?
My father's going to make an appearance tonight .
Seriously !?
Is that all of them?
Yes.
T he twelve Shadows that were the source of all our troubles
have now been destroyed thanks to your valiant effor ts.
As of midnight tonight , you shall be off icially relieved of your duties.
You have all done so well.
T here are no words to express my gratitude.
Well done, Mitsuru.
Yes, sir.
Your dad should've joined us for the par ty, Mitsuru!
My father's a busy man, so don't be too hard on him.
Mitsuru! You ordered sushi for us, right?
I wish they'd hurr y and bring it out !
Sushi, huh?
Well, I've got dibs on the halibut and sea urchin.
D-Dibs?
Oh, then I call the fatty tuna!
We're divvying it up already ?
Okay, save me the salmon roe!
Hey, wait a minute!
You can't do that !
I reserve the fatty tuna,
tuna,
shrimp,
squid,
scallop,
and tuna roll.
And also the sea eel.
Hey, that's not fair !
You don't even eat !
You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Kirijou, please order egg sushi for me.
T hey say you can tell a chef 's skill by how he prepares his eggs.
"A chef 's skill"?
Uh, how old are you again?
Gotta use the bathroom?
Makoto?
Is something the matter?
I'm just not feeling ver y well.
I see.
In that case, I recommend you retire early tonight .
You won't go and disappear on us, will you, Aigis?
No.
Ikutsuki said he would not deactivate me even after all our battles had ended.
You and Yukari are to be thanked for that .
I will be returning to the lab now to complete a maintenance check,
but I will return to the dorms immediately afterwards.
T here is no need for you to worr y.
I see.
It's almost midnight .
You've gotta be kidding!
Why's this happening!?
What's going on!?
T he Dark Hour.
Hey, do you hear that?
It sounds like bells.
Where's it coming from?
From that direction?
No, it's not ...
I knew it !
It's coming from Tar tarus!
Why, hello there!
You're quite late, you know?
Ikutsuki!
What a day to be alive.
I've heard the bells signaling the coming of the Fall with my own ears!
T he coming of the Fall?
What do you mean, Ikutsuki?
You said that if we defeated the twelve Shadows
the Dark Hour and Tar tarus would disappear !
Ikutsuki?
What's so funny ?
All of you have done a fantastic job.
You've fought so hard to grant my wish.
I could never hope to express my gratitude.
Grant your wish!?
You tricked us!?
So you believed that defeating the Shadows would end the Dark Hour and Tar tarus all together?
You couldn't be fur ther from the truth!
If anything, your effor ts thus far have had quite the opposite effect .
What ...
are you saying?
Soon, Death, the almighty, shall arise and bring for th the Fall!
Death?
What's he even saying?
Is he out of his mind?
It sure seems that way.
I say we shut him up and get our explanation later.
Bearing arms against your own school's chairman?
Shame on you!
Don't you agree, Aigis?
Father !
Mitsuru!
Aigis!
Fruitless effor ts.
Your voices will never reach her.
T hat isn't your friend over there.
T hat's nothing but a killing machine built to obey my ever y order.
No way !
Aigis, stop!
Don't you recognize us?
Now then!
Let the ceremony begin!
T he bells have already tolled the beginning of the Fall!
All that's left now is to offer the sacrif ices.
T he prophecy shall be fulf illed!
Ikutsuki...
Are you insane!?
Of course not .
You know, your father was an unlucky man.
Even you, his son, after all this time, do not understand his vision.
My father was wrong to embrace the Fall.
Oh, so you did know?
I didn't want to admit it was true.
Death as deliverance?
No sane man would ever embrace such a foolish ideology !
Foolish, huh?
Ignorant until the ver y end, I see.
Aigis!
Father !
It was your father who gave me the means to achieve this.
I owe him greatly for that .
Including you, his child, as one of the sacrif ices is my way of paying him back .
You should be grateful for this honor !
Stop!
Please, Aigis! No!
Aigis, stop!
Ikutsuki!
F-Father?
Father !
Execute the sacrif ices now, Aigis!
End this once and for all!
Aigis!
Snap out of it !
Aigis!
I am...
Aigis...
Finish them, Aigis!
Aigis!
Makoto...
Aigis!
Father !
You defective puppet !
No!
Please stop.
Stop.
Stop!
What !?
Koromaru!
Why don't you understand?
If the world goes on like this, it will only continue to fester.
To build a new world, we must destroy the old one!
I...
I will rule over the new world!
I was so close.
How did it come to this?
One time,
my father made a promise.
He swore that he would atone for endangering our generation,
even it if cost him his life.
Mitsuru.
But I...
I wanted him to live!
At the end of the day, we're all alone in the world.
Why bother getting close to others?
It only means that you'll be hur t when you lose them.
No matter how much you cherish something, once it's gone, that's the end of it .
So it's better to never have anything at all.
You don't need anything.
You don't want anything.
You eat yet , Makoto?
Huh?
Good evening.
What are you doing out here at this time of night?
I'm not ...
...doing anything?
You have nowhere to go?
T hat's good.
T hat means you can stay and talk with me.
I was just looking for something to do, too.
Hmm?
I don't ...
...have anything to say, so I'm leaving?
T hat makes me kind of sad.
What are you afraid of?
I can see kindness in your eyes.
But that same kindness isolates you.
I don't like seeing such a nice guy all alone.
T hat's too bad.
Makoto.
Aigis?
Didn't you go back to the lab?
I felt a bad premonition.
Where were you going to go, Makoto?
Does it really matter?
I shall go with you!
I will go with you.
Aigis...
T he most impor tant thing to me is to be by your side.
But you'll abandon me someday too.
I'm sure even you will, Aigis.
I will not abandon you.
I will not leave you by yourself.
I am sure that is the reason I was granted this eternity of time.
Now then, have you noticed?
You have undergone a signif icant change recently.
I am not referring to your change of circumstances either.
A change has occurred in your mentality.
T hat is why I have summoned you here tonight .
Going forward, there is one thing you must not forget .
I see you recognize it .
Shall I remind you of your commitment?
"I chooseth this fate of mine own free will."
T here is no need to worr y.
Whichever path you choose, I shall respect your decision.
However, only you will bear the responsibility of your actions.
No matter what end they may bring about .
Please keep that in mind.
Well then, I bid you farewell.
Did you hear about Kirijou?
You mean the thing on the news?
I heard her dad passed away.
How's Yuuki doing?
He's kinda withdrawn into himself.
He's keeping to himself and not talking to anyone.
What's he f ighting inside?
I worr y about Mitsuru too.
Yeah.
She's been so busy sor ting out the funeral and family business
that she hasn't had a moment to settle down.
I know it's all on her as his only child, but it's still hard to watch.
Mitsuru.
So what are we supposed to do now?
It's hard to tell now, isn't it?
T he Dark Hour, Tar tarus, and the Shadows have yet to disappear.
We don't even know what we're f ighting for anymore.
Chidori...
Hey, wait !
I said wait !
You're hur t !
What do you want?
Why don't you mind your own business?
You're bleeding, for cr ying out loud!
Come on, show me your hand.
I'll wrap it for you.
Why are you in such a panic?
Anyone would freak out over this.
You need to see a doctor.
You want me to go with you?
You're weird.
Gone for good, huh?
I apologize for worr ying you.
You sure kept us waiting! We were all so worried.
You all good now?
Yes.
T he external control function has been disabled,
so there is no danger of my will being overriden again.
Makoto!
All right , ever yone!
We have yet another transfer student joining us today.
I'm Ryouji Mochizuki.
I'd be happy if you could show me the ropes.
Hey, he's pretty cute.
I was thinking the same thing!
Oh, it's you!
What a coincidence.
Glad to be in your class.
Now then, you need a seat .
T hat seat's available!
Um, Ms. Toriumi...
Technically, that seat's taken—
As far as I'm concerned, it's available.
Hi, there.
Sorr y, I didn't catch your name.
You are dangerous.
Dangerous?
I haven't even asked you out on a date yet .
Rejecting me before I ask, huh?
You're an interesting girl.
He asked me if I wanted to go out sometime out of the blue!
Mochizuki from Class F, right?
He asked me too!
He's going around and asking out ever y girl he sees.
Well, he's cer tainly consistent .
I feel something wicked disturbing the school.
Um, Odagiri...
What's wrong?
I was given this note, so...
Do you think it'd be rude not to respond?
Ryouji Mochizuki
Call me, okay?
Not you too!
I heard you're a transfer student too.
It's cool we have that in common.
I feel like you and I could really get along.
Ryouji!
You coming to your own welcome par ty ?
I was inviting our friend here too.
No, you are dangerous.
You are a dangerous individual.
I cannot allow Makoto to associate with you.
What're you saying, Aigis?
We seem to have hit off on the wrong note.
Did I offend you somehow?
I cannot ascer tain a specif ic reason.
However, I am sure you are dangerous.
Come on, "dangerous"?
Hey, Makoto. You should chip in—
Hey, Yuuki!
Karaoke!
You don't wanna come?
What am I doing?
Just trust me!
You're a sure sensation!
I don't care!
Now, now. Don't knock it until you tr y it .
I don't wanna!
Go away !
What do you want?
Go on now.
T hank you, kind mister !
H-Hold on!
Wait , we're not done yet !
You—
Why did you have to butt in!?
No! My designer suit !
Current Net Price Tanaka
Current Net Price Tanaka is what's on your TV!
I thought you were kidnapping her.
Of course I wasn't !
How rude!
But more impor tantly, what are you going to do about my suit !?

I'll pay for it .
You say that like it's nothing.
But how's a high school kid gonna pay for this on his allowance?
Wait a second.
Now that I look, you have a pretty face.
Ever considered going into show biz?
I could produce the heck out of you!
No, thank you.
You're kidding, right?
So what if I was?
I'm done talking.
See ya.
W-Wait , Natsuki!
Yuuki?
HIRING PART- TIMERS!!
Kirijou of all people?
Yeah.
Rumor says she's planning to skip the class trip.
She's in hard times, can you really blame her?
Don't you live in the same dorm?
Hasn't she said anything?
Sorr y.
She's been really busy lately, so we haven't had much time to talk .
I see.
Right?
Well, look who it is.
Welcome.
Wow, so you work here?
I'll show you to your table.
T hat uniform looks good on you.
Oh, I know!
I think I've got a shot !
No way, man!
And anyway, isn't the age gap too big?
You gotta be realistic.
Welcome!
Yuuki?
And Mochizuki too?
What are you guys doing?
What a great smell.
Coffee is a cultured man's drink .
Why...
...are you doing this?
It seemed like you really needed some money.
And two working will earn it faster than one, right?
I didn't ...
...ask for your help?
I know, I'm doing this because I want to.
Why ?
Because I want to be your friend.
Is that not reason enough?
I don't need friends.
You don't need friends?
What an odd thing to say.
Too bad for you, but ...
I'm pretty stubborn, you know.
If you think you can wait me out , good luck .
T hey just keep coming.
Amada?
What are you doing here?
We might not know what it is we're supposed to do now,
but we know we have to do something.
I won't give up until I see this through to the end.
I feel that .
Oh, isn't that ...
I see.
Makoto and Ryouji are together.
Hey ! Why are you arming your weapon!?
Ryouji is dangerous.
Well, you know how Yuuki's been so down lately,
so I feel a friend like Ryouji might be good for him.
T hat's true.
A friend like that might really help him out of his slump.
It could be good for him?
Mitsuru!
Welcome back!
Ever ything okay now?
Yeah.
Sorr y I haven't been around much recently.
I'm f ine now.
Fill me in later on what's been going on, okay ?
Takeba?
What's going on?
Mitsuru,
you're not planning to skip the class trip, are you?
If I went now, I'd just drag ever yone down with me.
Stop thinking like that !
You tackle hardships all by yourself and avoid anything fun!
T hat's no way to live!
Say what you want , but ...
T hat's all I wanted to say.
Sorr y to bother you while you were resting.
Good night .
H-Hey, Takeba!
Campus Helpers Club
Ask us for anything!!
Campus Helpers Club
Ask us for anything!!
Ta-da!
Okay, so what?
It's a Helpers Club!
We go around and do tasks for a small fee.
Under the school's radar, of course.
Why...
...would we do such a thing?
Working at the cafe isn't going to bring in a ton of money by itself, you know.
Ever y bit counts.
All right , let's do this.
Not happening.
Come on, you'll be f ine.
Let go.
Let's go!
T hat's not what I said!
Helpers coming through!
Anybody need a little help?
Let go already !
Our price is unbeatable!
Especially if you're a girl!
What are those two doing?
Hey, you!
Is that eye makeup you're wearing?
You do realize that's against dress code.
Wh-What are you talking about?
T his could be trouble.
Hey !
What are you doing in the middle of the hallway !?
Sorr y.
My body star ted moving on its own.
Seriously, why are you shadowboxing in the hallway ?
Helpers here!
Anybody need some help?
Finish counting?
Ryouji Mochizuki...
is good for Makoto?
T hen why am I unable to shake off this uneasiness?
It's about time you dropped the silent treatment !
All we're asking is that you explain what you three were doing!
What were you tr ying to accomplish!?
Come on, you two!
Give her some space!
Why do you go so far to defend her?
Have you forgotten what she did to you?
I mean, it sucked being held hostage and she was in the wrong for that , but ...
Chidori!
What's gotten into you, Chidori!?
Hey, Chidori!
What !?
A Persona?
But why !?
Wait , this seizure—
Where are her belongings?
Were there some kind of drugs among them?
Y-Yes, I think so.
Chidori...
T hank God.
Shinji went through the same thing.
T hat means, she's also...
T hank god you're okay.
I really thought you were gonna keel over.
Why do you look so scared?
Death is nothing to be afraid of.
What are you saying?
It just means you don't wake up anymore.
Nothing else.
Don't go dying on me!
I don't want you to die, Chidori!
Junpei...
You're so weird, Junpei.
And then she asked me to come again soon!
It was like we were the only two in the entire world!
You know, like there was no distance between us anymore or something!
Welcome back!
I heard about your little Helpers Club!
Sounded like a total hit !
I needed a bit of money.
Come on, Yukaricchi!
Gimme some love too!
Like, "I'm totally jealous!"
Or "You guys are so cute!"
Good for you.
What's with the lifeless response?
Wait , are you actually jealous?
You've fallen, Yukaricchi.
"Fallen"?
What does that even mean!?
I bet I'm the only thing on her mind, even now.
I'll go see her again tomorrow!
You should stop before it's too late.
What's with you all of a sudden?
T he closer you get to someone,
the more it hur ts when they're gone.
I don't get you, man.
Why do you have to be so negative?
You can barely call that living.
Hey !
You don't have to be so mean about it , Junpei.
Barely living, huh?
Do you have a moment , Yuuki?
It's hard work being in the Student Council.
Sometimes. If we don't keep up with these documents, they really pile up.
Oh, and please don't tell Odagiri that I asked you to help us out .
Sure thing.
Oh, time's up now.
You've been a lifesaver.
T hank you so much!
Sorr y to leave so soon.
I wish we could stay a little longer.
We're keeping someone waiting on us, though.
CLASSIC LITERATURE I
Natsuki Moriyama, right?
T hat's me.
So what?
Something happened to Fuuka!
She tripped and hit her head while playing with a ball on the roof.
She's pretty dazed and keeps calling your name.
Fuuka...
Fuuka!
Natsuki?
I thought you got hur t .
You came pretty fast .
You're telling me.
It wasn't easy following you up here.
Hey ! What's going on?
I'm sorr y !
I asked the Helpers Club to bring you here.
Why'd you do that?
You're going to be transferring schools soon, aren't you?
Ever since you told me that , I feel like you've been avoiding me.
Well, I mean...
You run away when we meet at school.
You won't answer your phone anymore.
I was out of options, so...
So you do this!?
Please don't take it out on her.
It was my idea to trick you into coming up here.
Yamagishi was against the idea.
I felt bad about tricking you, but ...
I'm so happy you came for me.
I thought you hated me now or something.
Fuuka!
Fuuka...
You're such an idiot !
I knew this would happen.
If we kept hanging out , I knew you'd cr y like a baby.
Natsuki...
I thought that if you hated me, it'd be easier on you when I left .
But instead, you thought I hated you.
T here's no way !
T here's no way I could ever hate you!
You idiot .
You f inally smiled.
Aw, why are you looking away ?
Friendship's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
Is it really ?
Well, look at that . You're not denying it today !
I think I understand you now.
You're afraid of losing people, aren't you?
T hat's why you tr y to avoid getting attached to others.
You're completely off, you know.
Even if you lose someone, the bond you shared with them is never lost .
Like, even if I disappeared today,
the bond we share will never be severed.
T hat's what it means to be friends.
Even if today is our last ,
the bond we share will never be severed.
Let's wrap this up quick!
I'm getting pretty hungr y.
A class trip?
T hat's right !
At our school, the juniors and seniors are going to Kyoto together.
Want me to get you something?
No.
T here's nothing I want .
Oh, really.
Wow, you really healed fast .
What's your secret?
T hose are pretty dead, huh?
I'll get some new ones later.
It's f ine.
Whoa!
It's healthy again.
So you have some kind of healing power?
So that's how your wrists healed so quickly ?
T hat's incredible!
It's nothing special.
You have powers too, don't you?
I guess so, but ...
T hat's all I really have going for me.
Take that away and there's not a lot left .
I see.
You're different from me.
Guess so.
If I stay here, I'm able to see you.
I can stand being here only because of that .
It makes me glad that I'm here.
Chidori...
CAN THE "APATHY SYNDROME" EPIDEMIC BE STOPPED?
The Mystery of "Apathy Syndrome"
You're still up?
I couldn't sleep.
Can't get it off your mind either, huh?
Yeah.
Not that there's much we can do about it .
We have no way of knowing how to eliminate the Shadow or Tar tarus anymore.
Aren't there other things you should be concerned about?
Mind your own business.
Takeba's pretty worried about you.
Have you made a f inal decision about the class trip?
Kyoto, huh?
Kind of a clichéd destination.
You think so?
I think it'll be a beautiful place to make unforgettable memories.
Don't you agree?
Don't ask me.
I wonder what kind of inn we're staying at !
I'm itching to be there!
Something wrong?
Where'd Makoto get off to?
I came here looking for some alone time, but ...
it looks like you beat me to it .
T here you are!
Ryouji was looking for you!
Actually, we can't check in until the whole group's together,
so you guys had better come back!
Right .
You too, Mitsuru!
I've already let people know where I am.
You should be f ine without me.
Pretty, isn't it?
Why are you so concerned about me?
To be completely honest ,
I've never been ver y comfor table being alone with you.
But what you're going through right now after losing your father...
I understand that really well.
And I don't want our relationship to remain so uncer tain.
Our relationship?
We have no relationship anymore.
It was battle that brought us together,
and that battle is now over.
You really think it's over?
Both our objective and the enemies we were targeting are gone.
What do we have left to f ight for?
Ever ything we believed was a lie, and—
And you couldn't protect the one person you wanted to.
T hat's what you're really thinking, isn't it?
You never wanted to f ix the Kirijou Group's mistakes!
All you ever wanted was to protect your father !
T hat's the real reason you fought , right?
Yes, it was!
Ever since the accident , my father's had the face of a man dead inside!
Like he thought he had no right to be alive after what he'd done!
I fought so he'd never have to look like that again!
But you saw what a joke that turned out to be!
I was right next to Ikutsuki the entire time!
And yet I fell into his trap, unable to do a single thing!
It was all for nothing in the end.
I may as well not have been there!
I'm sorr y.
But we don't know if it was all for nothing yet !
Takeba...
Remember that video of the accident we watched in Yakushima?
It was a fake.
Ikutsuki tampered with it so that it would back up his stor y.
Fuuka found the original recording not too long ago,
and I watched it .
My employer become obsessed with a loathsome idea.
T his experiment should have never even been conceived!
T hat's why I had to interrupt it .
Please, listen carefully.
I cannot stress this enough.
Do not hunt the scattered Shadows!
T hey're tr ying to consume one another and reunite as one.
But if they're reunited, we're all doomed!
I'll say this once more.
Leave the Shadows be!
My dad tried to prevent the disaster he saw coming.
He never, ever gave up.
He put his life on the line until the end.
T hat's why I've decided to f ight .
I want to continue f ighting to end the Dark Hour.
I want to f ight to carr y out my dad's will.
Carr y out his will?
T hat's all I—
No, that's all we can do for them, Mitsuru.
Takeba...
You're right .
Nothing's over yet .
So I'll have to see this through to the end.
For my father in Heaven,
and for you as well.
Mitsuru!
Will you f ight alongside me, Yukari?
We're here!
T his is one nice inn!
I see a stony, outdoor area f illed with water.
Is that the fabled "open-air bath"?
No, that's just a decorative garden.
You'd be exposed for the whole lobby to see.
I see.
Oh, yeah!
Where was your old school gonna take their class trip, Ryouji?
My old school, huh?
Where was it now?
You seriously don't remember!?
Who doesn't remember something so major?
So boys down the hall?
And the girls upstairs.
We'll see you later, then!
Seriously ! Stop following us already.
Boys down the hall!
You're up here, Aigis!
Where's Makoto?
He was just here.
Again?
Sheesh, what's with that guy ?
T hat's kind of cold.
Aren't you guys dormmates?
Well, yeah, but ...
I don't know what's been going through his head lately.
He's struggling with his own good nature.
He's too kind for his own good.
Kind enough to be hopelessly awkward.
So to keep anyone from getting hur t , he's built a wall around himself.
A wall so tall that nobody can overcome it ver y easily.
But the truth is, he built that wall to protect ever yone.
You sure get how he works.
Yep.
I know him like I know myself.
He's just awkward, huh?
So don't be too harsh, okay ?
Man, you're one tough cookie.
Kyoto is an amazing place!
I'd come back here in a hear tbeat !
Hey.
Come with me.
What's wrong?
You're doing nothing but defending.
If you don't attack, you'll never win.
Defending is cer tainly impor tant .
But isn't it more impor tant to f ind something wor th defending?
What good is a life with nothing to risk it over?
Sure, it hur ts losing something so precious.
I know that all too well.
You never change, do you?
You always go off and do whatever you want without a word to anyone.
Put yourself in my shoes for a change.
You think I'm one to talk, huh?
I guess you're right .
I was the one who kept self ishly rushing off on my own in search of power.
Ever since my sister—
Ever since Miki died, I've done nothing but tr y to get stronger.
I thought if I was strong enough, I could protect anything with my own hands.
But look where we are now!
Even you moved on without me!
It's like you're laughing at my desperation!
I knew that battle carried the risk of death.
But I was so obsessed with f ighting that I failed to see anything else!
It didn't matter how strong I was!
It still ended in this mess.
Um, Akihiko?
T hat's just how it is.
You never realize the value of something until you lose it .
Even so, it's a million times better to hold something dear and lose it than to live as an empty shell.
No matter how much it hur ts.
Welcome back!
Yo! Want some?
What is it?
A midnight snack, of course!
Only losers would sleep during a class trip!
He's right , you know!
So we're not going to waste our time sleeping, right?
Inf iltration successful.
What are you doing here, Aigis?
I deemed it unreasonable that Makoto and I were not in the same room.
Ryouji, please switch rooms with me.
I get to sleep in the girls' room? Really ?
No way in hell!
I would die of jealousy !
Please feel free to join him.
What , really !?
W-Wait !
Why the window?
Can't we just use the door?
No, you cannot .
Hold on, Aigis.
It's too narrow!
T here's no way we can climb across these balconies!
I had no trouble with it .
Yeah, but we're not like you!
Wait ! I'm falling!
Ryouji!
Makoto!
Aigis!
What was that sound just now?
No clue.
Cold! Too cold!
Towel!
Gimme hot water !
Makoto?
T his hot spring is supposed to make your biceps grow.
Apparently this hot spring is used by both men and women at different times.
Oh, really ?
Maybe it'll change over while we're still in here.
It wouldn't be our fault if that happened, right?
Come on, you two!
Shh!
Someone's coming.
All right ! No one's here!
It's all ours!
Wow, it's even bigger than I thought it was!
None of the benef icial proper ties of this hot spring apply to me.
I will request that they expand its features.
Oh, shit ! It's them!
Why are they here right now!?
Ooh, Yukari and Fuuka!
We sure are lucky—
Are you suicidal, Ryouji!?
Who's there!?
Is someone over there!?
What is it , Yukari?
Did you see something?
Mitsuru's here too!?
Listen...
If the times changed over, we're dead meat !
But it was def initely men's turn when we came in.
You think they'd let it slide as a bad joke?
Do you honestly think she'd buy that lame excuse!?
If we're found here...
What'll happen?
We'll be executed.
E-Executed!?
I'm sure I heard something.
Really ?
I'll check it out .
T hey're coming!
T he odds are against us, but we'll make do.
Time to star t our mission!
Mission?
A mission to see another day.
Failure means a swift death.
R-Roger that .
Let's all make it out together !
Is someone there?
If we can swim over there undetected, we're as good as gone.
We're up for it , right?
T hat's the back entrance, isn't it?
I think the only way back in is through the banquet hall.
Far better than being found by Mitsuru!
A-Aigis.
T hat's not how you bathe in a hot spring.
T hat was a close call!
And now,
our escape!
Junpei?
What's wrong?
Hurr y and get out here!
I think this is the end of the line for me.
You guys should go on without me.
What are you saying?
We're not leaving without you!
Come on!
I can't !
Junpei...
So you really...
I lost ...
I lost my towel!
You idiot !
Forget about me and go!
It's either me or all of us!
You think we could just leave you behind!?
Junpei, look!
A leaf !
You can use a leaf !
Don't mock me!
Don't give up, Junpei!
Didn't we vow we'd survive together?
I'm sorr y.
Am I still unable to protect anyone!?
Who's back there!?
D-Don't jump to conclusions!
We can explain!
S-Silence!
Off with their heads!
Aigis...
It is a shame we must par t so soon.
W-Wait !
Seriously, stop! Please!
I'll never forget yesterday.
I'll never forget no matter how much I want to!
It was a nightmare.
An execution is exactly right .
It was a nightmare.
Do your best to forget .
Is that a gift for someone?
Yeah, but I'm not sure which one to go with.
It's hard to pick just one.
Is it for your girlfriend?
Well, um...
Yeah, I guess you could call her that .
Maybe!
Junpei looks like he's having fun.
It's good he's having fun.
Hairpins do make good gifts for girls.
Guess I'll do the same!
How many girls are buying for!?
Junpei's coming back tomorrow.
What?
Why...
It hur ts...
Ow!
It hur ts...
I'm scared...
Why ?
What !?
It's been a while.
T hat voice is...
I'm so glad we're able to meet again.
Jin, give them to her.
Now there's no reason for you to stay captive here any longer, no?
Takaya...
You understand, don't you?
T here's no place for you here.
T he only place you have is with us.
You should already know that death is not a thing to be feared.
T he only thing to fear is...
I know, Takaya.
Good girl.
Yes, it's all his fault .
I only star ted feeling this unbearable suffering again once he came.
And I never feared death either.
Farewell, Kyoto!
It sure was fun.
We made some good memories, huh?
Yeah, we did.
Phew, I'm beat !
You're all so lucky !
I wish I could've gone too.
We bought you some souvenirs, so hang on!
Koromaru, we brought you some spoils—
I mean, souvenirs, as well.
Where'd Junpei go?
He went straight to the hospital.
He said he wanted to give her his gift .
Chidorin!
Still nothing!?
Hurr y and f ind her !
Calm down, Junpei.
You'll distract Yamagishi.
Damn it !
Where did you go, Chidori?
It'll be okay, Junpei.
Fuuka will def initely f ind her.
T hen why...
Why do I have such a bad feeling?
Junpei.
I found her !
She's in front of Tar tarus!
Chidori!
What are you doing!?
You know you shouldn't be out of the hospital yet !
Let's go back together !
Okay ?
Watch out , Junpei!
Chidori...
All of you...
You're all eyesores.
I will erase you.
What are you saying!?
Come on!
Snap out of it , Chidori!
We're not enemies, right !?
Get back, Junpei!
She's dangerous!
Persona!
Chidori...
We have to f ight back!
Prepare yourselves!
Iori!
It's do or die now!
Why ?
Why are you doing this!?
Polydeuces!
Stop!
What are you doing!?
Please, stop!
Chidori's not like this!
She's not like this!
Takaya was right .
You're a nuisance!
Sanada, look out !
Koromaru!
No, Koromaru!
Attack mode: covering f ire!
Chidori!
Physical pain...
is nothing compared to the unbearable hear tache.
Arahabaki!
No more.
I can't stand here and watch this!
Junpei?
Please, ever yone!
Let me handle this.
T his is my battle to f ight !
No, Junpei!
It's too risky !
Do you have a death wish, Iori!?
Me, lie down and die!?
And turn Chidori into a murderer!?
No way in hell!
What do you want?
Chidori, enough already !
You don't want to do this!
Why should the two of us f ight? It's wrong!
It's not wrong!
I don't belong with you!
I've known that from the ver y star t !
Junpei!
What are you doing, Akihiko?
I know he's an idiot , but he's still a man!
Let him tr y before we stomp on his pride.
Akihiko?
Come on!
Why won't you attack?
You should just kill me!
Kill me!
Junpei!
I can't kill you.
I could never kill you!
Why not !?
I'm not afraid to die!
What I fear isn't death.
What I fear is...
What I fear most is...
I fear attachment .
I fear that once I grow attached to something, I'll lose it .
Be it to things, my own life, or anything else.
T hat's why we need to live only for the ver y moment !
But you...
You brought me pain I never asked for !
Chidori...
When I'm with you, Junpei,
I star t fearing ever ything.
I star t fearing loss.
I star t fearing even death.
I fear that our time together will come to an end.
T hat's why I...
I'm sorr y for making you feel afraid.
But I'm the same way.
I'm scared of losing you too.
Nothing scares me more than the thought of not being able to be with you anymore.
T hat's why...
T hat's why we should be together, don't you think?
We're both scared to be alone.
So we have to care for each other and keep that from happening.
Junpei...
Chidori...
I see.
I guess that makes sense.
Makoto?
Chidori...
I see you are beyond help now.
You've been poisoned by them.
You bastards!
He's not breathing!
Junpei!
No!
Junpei...
No...
No!
Chidori?
You know, before I met you,
I never realized what I wanted for myself.
I want to be with you, Junpei.
I want to be with you forever.
Um, I, uh... I want to be with you too.
But it could never last .
We only have a little time before...
Before what?
We're different from you.
Since the ver y moment I gained my power...
My f inal day has been set in stone.
It was only after I met you that I star ted thinking death could be scar y.
I realized that it meant we would never meet again.
T hat's why...
T hat's why you can't die here, Junpei.
T his freak ...
He's stronger than before!
Impressive, isn't it?
My strength grows even as we speak now!
I f ind it endlessly amusing.
Fate has decided that we, who have no attachment to life, shall be the ones to live!
Her power is...
I thought I...
It's the opposite of mine.
Junpei!
Her Persona doesn't sense life.
It emits life.
But , in order to revive a person, she must ...
It worked.
Chidori!
I can hear the life pulsing through you.
It won't stop beating.
Now I'll live on inside of you.
We'll be together forever.
Hey, Chidori!
Stay with me!
What are you saying!?
Hey !
I'll protect you now, Junpei.
Always.
I will too!
I'll protect you too!
So please!
It feels so nice to be with you.
Chidori!
I love you, Junpei.
T hank you...
Chidori?
T his can't be real.
Chidori!
Wake up!
Answer me!
Chidori!
Junpei?
What a pity.
What a meaningless death.
"Meaningless"?
It changed!?
You'll pay for this!
You little!
You shall not !
You piece of scrap!
You're f inished!
Makoto!
At the end of the day,
we're all alone in the world.
T hat's not true.
Why bother getting close to others?
It only means that you'll be hur t when you lose them.
T hat's not true!
I'll blow you all to chunks in one shot !
Mitsuru!
I'm all right , Yukari.
No matter how much you cherish something,
once it's gone, that's the end of it .
So it's better to never have anything at all.
No, it's not !
You don't need anything.
I do!
You don't want anything.
I really do.
I'm...
I'm tired of running from getting close to others!
What's this power!?
It is all or nothing now!
Orgia Drive activated!
Shit !
We shall retreat for now, Jin.
Got it !
Damn! We let them escape!
Chidori.
T his came from the hospital this morning.
I thought that you should keep it , Iori.
T hese are Chidori's drawings.
What did she draw?
Stuff you probably wouldn't understand.
She drew stuff from out of this world.
What's so hard to understand?
T hat's amazing!
Wow, what a beautiful por trait !
It's a tad too flattering, though.
I... I know things turned out like this, but there's one thing I can say for sure.
I'm glad I met Chidori.
And I'm glad that I fell in love with her.
I see.
Yeah, it's good.
Really good!
Right?
What?
I was thinking that you'd changed.
You come across a lot softer now.
I've decided to accept it .
Being friends, I mean.
I'm happy to hear that .
What's wrong?
My head hur ts a little.
I'm f ine. It's nothing, really.
You found all this in Ikutsuki's study ?
Yes.
I've learned a lot from his f iles.
It seems Ikutsuki had a hand in Strega too.
T hese are...
But we have something more pressing to deal with.
What is this reaction?
My past data recordings...
are playing backwards.
My memories...
are returning.
Oh, if it isn't ...
I found myself here without realizing it .
I don't really understand it myself.
T he sky and ground are a strange color,
and there's no one in sight .
Have you forgotten?
T he Dark Hour.
A time period where ver y few are active.
But you have somehow adapted to it .
Far too well for an ordinar y human.
It is the time of awakening.
A presence that has long slumbered is awakening tonight .
It wakes to bring an end to the world.
An end?
You should already know all this.
What's this?
It's all clearly documented here.
T he twelve Shadows of the Arcana,
and the being that comes after them.
What being?
T he end of the world that Ikutsuki mentioned...
It was more than just mad babbling.
It is all clear now.
Now I understand the reason behind this feeling I sense when you're around.
What do you mean?
You are dangerous.
You are my enemy.
Me?
Your enemy ?
We have met once before.
As adversaries.
Who...
Who am I?
Who are you?
I am Aigis.
T he last remaining Anti-Shadow Emergency Control Weapon.
A machine created to destroy Shadows.
And you...
When all twelve Shadows of the Arcana come together,
they create the Shadow of the thir teenth Arcana.
Its purpose it to bring about the end of the world, and it's name is...
Your true name is "Death."
You are the Shadow I sealed away ten years ago.
I remember now.
Who, and what , I am!
Palladion!
Stop this, Aigis!
Aigis!
Why...
we're walking through the darkest valley
hater's lose far from the finale
so uncanny that I got this crew
man, this movement is so exclusive
my matter so effusive
so damn loud, pardon my music
I worked alone
guess I wasn't used to doing a collab, but I love the music
it shone the light in my blindness
the guidance to my dynasty
but honestly
we constantly enjoyed our chemistry
water settles in dry sand
quick to become dirt by suction
change is inevitable, but it don't mean malfunction
I walk
I walk this dark valley
cold wind blows out the light of joy
in starless sky
I rejoice our memories
strength that stays in my heart
elevate it, what's deep down inside of me
celebrate it, what we got us going for the moment
demonstrate it, to these heads who came and violate it
about to battle fake-ass shadows
we're ready for whatever follows
we lead and you just swallow
we're full, you're just shallow
but we forgive, we shall take you as a fellow member
I never liked to hate 'cause emotion's viral, so contagious
good god gracious, soul I spread is Mediarama
that's my basis
a series of spontaneous changes
like sometimes instantaneous
some stay fearless
some get vicious
I just got more serious this time
parting ways in a good term
used to be a bit concerned
haters' burning jealousies so damn dirty
seen my old friends turn into
foes oh my goodness no
I had faith in these dogs
ended up drastically changing or returning
back to weak foes
though I knew for sure that this ain't the case
we still cool
our history's timeless
what we got here's never removed
I walk
I walk this dark valley
cold wind blows out the light of joy
in starless sky
I rejoice our memories
strength that stays in my heart
roadless destiny may separate us
however there are bonds
that remain tight forever
this friendship's gold I treasure in my heart
so even if you have to go
won't be afraid to say goodbye no more
