Thoughts of what once was Ryoji Mochizuki

...Just as I thought, you couldn't lay a finger on me. Maybe you began to love me because we met as friends. But as I've warned multiple times, what I as the 'Appriser' will give you is absolute death. It's not something that can be overcome through willpower or effort. The 'end' as the contrapostion to 'life', which every living thing has without exception, comes upon all human beings as an unavoidable decision. The 'death' that everyone should know but don't recognise as their own... when you all face it, you can't help but dread and depair over that overwhelming truth. So I at least wanted to let you forget about it all and have it come to an end. Only you, who raised me, had the power to make it happen. ...Even though it turned out like this, I'm glad to have met you. Until we meet again, take care. ...Best wishes in the coming year.

The desire of two boys who seek their former halves

Tonight, when the moon ascends in the sky, I will reunite with part of my former self on the tower's peak. Just as time flows and the seasons change, it's obvious that all living things are preparing to end, and that it is unavoidable. Though I know that, I still try to cling to a miracle that might happen. Until I witness true despair, I'm holding on to a sliver of hope... Shadows are born from people's hearts. And Personas are too; they are of the same essence. The only difference is if one has an intent. No matter how much of that power one might wield, what would be the reason to threaten that which is the root of existence, the Great Mother? How much can a tiny, foolish child who bares their fangs at the Fall, the name of the Great Mother, Nyx, do? ...If the future is to change, it's the power of will that's the source of Personas, the heart's bonds, that will push you forward. Now, let's head to that place to fullfill our duty. I, we, have shed tears about the premonition that this day will come ever since we were one.

⋯⋯やっぱり君は、僕に手を下せなかったね。僕たちが友だちとして出会ってしまったから、情が移っちゃったのかもしれないね。でも僕は何度も忠告した、「宣告者」である僕が連れてくる のは絶対の死だ。努力とか意志の力でなんとかできるようなもの じゃない。生きとし生けるものが例外なく持った、「生きる」対偶としての「終わり」が、避けようのない決定事項として、すべての人間の上に訪れるものだ。みんな知ってるはずなのに、自分のこととして認識しなかった「死」⋯⋯それを迎えたときに君たちは、その圧倒的な事実の前に恐怖し、絶望せずにはいられない。だから僕はせめて、すべてを忘れて終わりを迎えてもらおうと思った。僕を育ててくれた君にだけは、それを叶える力があったのだからね。⋯⋯こんな形になってしまったけど、君に出会えたこと、嬉しかった。つぎに逢うときまで元気で。⋯⋯よいお年を。

かつて望月綾時だったものの思い

かつての半身を求めるふたりの少年の想い

今夜、月が天に昇るとき、かつて自分の一部であったものと、あの塔の頂で再会する。時が流れるように、季節が巡るように、生きるものがその終わりに死を控えていることは自明のことで、それを避けることなんてできなしない。それをわかってはいても、それでもなお、起こるかもしれない奇跡にすがろうとする。本当の絶望を目にするまで、一縷の望みをついでいる⋯⋯。シャドウは人の心から生まれ出たものだ。そしてぺルソナもまた、それらと本質を一にするものだ。ちがうのはそこに本人の意思があるかどうかというだけ。その力をいくら振るおうとも、存在の根源、太母であるものの足元をおびやかせる道理などあるだろうか。滅びという名の大いなる母ニュクスに牙を剥くちっぽけで愚かな子供に、一体どれほどのことをできるというのか。⋯⋯未来が変わるというなら、その背中を押すのはペルソナの源となる意志の力、心の絆だ。さあ、与えられた役目を果たすために、その場所を目指そう。僕は、僕たちは、ひとつだったときから、この日が来る予感に涙を流していたんだから。

Love how Nyx Avatar is a canon he/it. Noone knows this thing's pronouns.

Who is the "prince"? (P3 spoilers)

Ikutsuki mentions the prince being the one that makes the Fall happen, being crowned the king of the world after.

This is what Ikutsuki believes himself to be.

Ikutsuki also mentions Death, knowing that it's the combined Shadow, thus making the prince and Death seperate entities.

This Fragmentory Memoir seems to contradict that, though, mentioning the prince will be born on the same day as Death. Ikutsuki, being a reasercher on the experiments, is too old.

However, this one mentions the prince being the one to gather Shadows(thus creating Death), meaning they're different entities again. It makes sense how Ikutsuki thought he was the prince then, since he's the one who made SEES fight the Shadows.

The Memoirs also mention that Ikutsuki's interpretation of the prophecy is wrong. This is consistant with Persona Club P3.

But, what is Ikutsuki wrong about? The sacrifice of SEES is an obvious one, being mentioned by the Club Book as well. It doesn't seem to be needed at all. It's not too clear, but Ikutsuki seems to think that the Fall would happen right after he sacrificed SEES, while in reality it wouldn't happen until a few months later. The Memoirs call it the documents(of times the Fall almost happened in history), while Ikutsuki calls it the prophecy. Since the Memoirs mention the prince being born after Ikutsuki was, this is another thing. Another strange thing is the king. Ikutsuki thinks that's what the prince becomes after the Fall, but no concious being exists then, so that can't be right. The Memoirs instead just mention the king saving them, not ruling at all.

Death's identity is obvious, but all this has been showing is who the prince isn't.

Well, we need someone who gathers Shadows, was born 10 years ago, is similar/close to Death, and saves the world.

Hero fits. He's the leader of SEES, taking an active role in defeating the Arcana Shadows. He also carried Death for 10 years, being the one to awaken the Shadows in the first place. Saving the world is obvious, and even fits with his ascent from the prince to the king(being when he creates the Great Seal, also fitting Ikutsuki mentioning him ruling after the Fall). The only thing is he was born too early, but I think that can be explained as a more symbolic birth than his actual one. The moment he becomes the prince isn't when he was born, but when he gets Death sealed inside of him, that also being when he gets the Wild Card and becomes connected to the Fall.

i miss pharos man he needs more content he's such an interesting character esp what the drama cd did to him hmmnnggg the aus if instead of becoming ryoji he's still pharos older pharos so ktr knows him immediately

[eru-iru]

I know that Ryoji constantly talking about how it's alright to kill him is there to make sure that the decision is actually about whether you want to remember that you're going to die or not and not about the ethics of killing someone, but all it ends up doing is make him seem super suicidal.

P3r spoilers

Please please PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who noticed in reload that if you choose to kill Ryoji, Minato actively turns away and you can faintly see fear etched on his face and when he pulls the evoker to shoot, his body shakes like his heart is beating intensely fast

It’s like he doesn’t want to do this, doesn’t want to destroy this but it happens. What the hell atlus

Actually going to share the things I've tried to write. I don't think they'll ever be in a state where I feel completely happy with them.

Another Silly Headcanon.

Makoto doesn't mind cross dressing, in fact, he will purposefully dress in a maid outfit just to get a reaction out of everyone. He knows he's attractive and takes full advantage of that like a cheeky little bastard.

His favorite reactions are from Ryoji, who gets red and immediately goes feral for him, and Junpei, who is surprised at how well Makoto pulls off a maid outfit better than the girls.

Other reactions include:

Yukari just being shocked at the fact he would do this in the first place Mitsuru wondering how the hell he pulled it off Fuuka just loving his fit Aigis just thinking that's normal and decides to join him in the shenanigans Ken just curious why he did it Akihiko mistakes him for a girl at first, but then wonders why Makoto did it Koromaru just being happy, he don't care about what Makoto looks like
