#chie satonaka imagines

[kazooiesart]

I have got to draw more Hanamura Brothers

do not tag as ship. they are brothers.

[toastermin-it]

chie: don't go picking a fight with me. i could make your life difficult.

yosuke, sarcastically: wow. i wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life.

[prettypinklass]

Persona 3 and Persona 4 are funny to sort timelines for because there is a one(1) year gap between the games. Now if you push p4 back by one year and put Minato in Inaba-

Im putting a cut here because spoilers for both games

Nyx gets chased off and not even a year later Izanami goes "its free real estate" lol

So Minato lives for unspecified reasons and (reluctantly) moves back to Inaba after the events of P3. He takes Koromaru with him (you can pry them as a duo from my cold dead hands) and attends Yasogami for his final year of high school. Which sucks because a. all his friends are at Gekkoukan and b. Yasogami is a terrible school and Inaba is a small town. He's losing his mind out here gang

Anyway then the midnight channel shows up and it hasn't even been a year since the dark hour vanished so you can imagine how upset he is about this. But he's way too nice so of course when he finds out a group of underclassmen have taken it upon themselves to fight shadows and solve the murder case he and Koromaru end up involved.

Dynamics with the investigation team include:

Yu Narukami - consistently on the same bullshit wavelength and nobody knows how (its the Wild Card Wavelength)

Yosuke Hanamura - punches him at least once for the internalized homophobia but they bond over music

Teddie - he reminds him of Aigis a bit. Trying to teach him to be Better then what he learns from Yosuke

Chie Satonaka - she reminds him of Yukari and its terrifying

Yukiko Amagi - you never fuck with the healers (also a bit scared of her)

Kanji Tatsumi - thinks hes cool. likes his dolls. would also like him to leave Koromaru alone

Rise Kujikawa - MUSIC BUDDIES!! Rise makes fun of him but she gets away with it (he is nothing if not respectful of the navigators who can make or break a fight)

Naoto Shirogane - siblings. arisato/shirogane family au my beloved

Entertaining scenarios include

"Why does your dog have a knife" "He likes them" "arf!"

"What do you mean I dont need to shoot myself in here"

Minato participating in the drag pageant

Elizabeth and Margaret sharing a velvet room for an extended period of time

Mitsuru in the background getting gray hairs because "minato what the fuck do you mean theres shadows in inaba"

Social link to explore Minato's character more

The exchange with Gekkoukan is 10x more entertaining if Minato is there to both comment on the love hotel he almost died in once and be friends with half the students at Gekkoukan

Anyway thats my au proposal

[brucebocchi]

Persona characters as NBA fans

my reasoning for each decision beneath the cut

Celtics/Akechi: Driven by an inhuman amount of spite and need to prove themselves when talent alone is more than enough to do the job. Just an insane amount of homophobic slurs

Nets/Labrys: She has a Brooklyn accent. Don’t overthink it.

Knicks/Ryoji: Say the name of the team out loud. You get it.

76ers/Maruki: “The Process” really was just mass brainwashing if you think about it

Raptors/Kamoshida: No hate to the Raptors organization but they really need to eat crow for letting Drake hitch his wagon to the franchise

Hawks/Ruferu: I don’t know shit about P5X but look at the birdy! Trae Young is also small and annoying,

Hornets/Eikichi: I thought the colors matched. I have never played a Persona game.

Magic/Elizabeth: She thinks the team name is literal. Are you going to tell her otherwise?

Heat/Akihiko: You just know he would be really fucking annoying about “Heat Culture”

Wizards/Yusuke: The hat has cherry blossoms on it and that was enough to shape his rooting interests. I’m enjoying giving him hilariously inept franchises.

Bulls/Erina: Nostalgia is all we have left.

Cavaliers/Haru: Haru is extremely rich and speaks exclusively in Comic Sans, just like Dan Gilbert

Pistons/Junpei: Found out about the “Bad Boy” days and was hooked, only to find out he was born a couple years after that era ended.

Pacers/Ken: Young and surprisingly potent on offense, just needs a few years to toughen up a bit

Bucks/Ohya: beer

Mavericks/Izanami: An unfairly powerful being, capable of manipulating the truth, who must be defeated swiftly. But enough about Miriam Adelson

Rockets/Lisa: She’s an enormous Sinophile so you know damn well she latched onto Yao Ming and never let go

Grizzlies/Kanji: “Uh, hell yeah! Grit n’ grind! Whoop that trick! Be a man!” (actually he just really wants to feel Grizz’s fur)

Pelicans/Chie: You cannot convince me that Chie Satonaka is not a pelican herself.

Spurs/Takemi: A color scheme favorable to goths, a history of solid fundamentals, and a total freak on the up-and-up. Victor Wembanyama is over two feet taller than her.

Nuggets/Yukiko: She just keeps picking the good ones man idk what to tell you

Timberwolves/Koromaru: dogy :) 

Thunder/Nanako: Youngest team in the NBA gets everyone’s favorite baby sister

Trail Blazers/Adachi: I like making him suffer with these

Jazz/Teddie: You’d think it’s because he’s the whitest boy imaginable but he read the “Personal Life” section of Karl Malone’s Wikipedia page and was inspired

Warriors/Sophia: If Silicon Valley gets its way, every Warriors fan will be replaced by an AI by 2035

Clippers/Metis: Perpetual younger sibling syndrome. May not actually exist

Lakers/Shido: He’s been courtside at every home game since 1985. You never noticed?

Suns/Konoe: Eternally at the mercy of the whims of an arrogant tech bro when an AI would probably do a better job

Kings/Yosuke: I like giving him moribund franchises but he’s actually picking up some W’s lately. Good for him!

[valdrinors-writing]

so ive been working on both my p4 and p5 asau concepts and decided to write down my current ideas for p4 (foolsuke plot bunny is coming soon too! i just need to think about it lol)

yu narukami - naoto shirogane

moving into a new town when your grandfather is sick is pretty rough and then you get swooped into this investigation? naoto is still pretty intelligent and good at deduction, but struggles with making friends - partially because he's distant and tends to get hyperfocused on his latest interest, and partially because he's just... so good at everything (except skiing, and talking to people). also im using he/him pronouns for naoto, i imagine that he's not out in terms of official papers, but he is out socially, and most people use he/him pronouns for him

yosuke hanamura - rise kujikawa

rise never became an idol in this universe, but has a desire to become one that she often keeps hidden because she thinks its embarassing. she works at her grandma's tofu place and was close with saki as they both bonded over not being linked to junes', but when saki started working at junes', they began to drift apart, with both rise and saki feeling like the other 'betrayed' them (saki by leaving rise and rise by staying at the shopping district). her shadow represents her idol wishes and her desire for attention (in reality her desire for someone to love her for who she is)

chie satonaka - teddie hanamura

theodore 'teddie' was adopted by the hanamuras when he was like about 8 years old, a fact that he has mixed feelings about. the hanamuras are much more strict about junes' in this world, often feeling like they have to lord over their children in order to keep them in line, which uh... doesnt help. teddie is outwardly an upbeat and athletic kid who just wants to 'score' with girls, but in reality feels insecure due to being not fully japanese as well as adopted (think a lot of ann's issues with her being not fully japanese, but with the bonus of him being in a fully japanese family). he's jealous of yosuke, the heir, while he feels like he's less important

yukiko amagi - yosuke hanamura

take yosuke's canonical small town boredom, add on the pressure of running junes' and being isolated for destroying the business district? yeah yosuke's not going so hot. he's still the kind, upbeat guy we know and love, distracting from his boredom by working his ass off at junes' to make his parents proud. as he's the third subject of the midnight channel, his shadow acts as the 'ruler' of that dungeon, which appears like a pirate ship with his goal being to escape inaba as quickly as possible - including escaping his responsibilities as the heir of junes'

kanji tatsumi - yukiko amagi

still the heir to the amagi inn, but began to lash out following a traumatic experience in middle school in which she was bullied for being 'prettier' than the other girls, because kids can be cruel. unlike kanji, who has a rough exterior but a soft, squishy centre, yukiko was made bitter due to her bullying experiences and views the amagi inn as a prison that she's trapped in, her entire life being decided by her parents and the people around her. she's much more distant compared to canon, but she managed to make the news due to a scuffle with another group of girls which lead to a report on delinquint problems plaguing inaba. this leads to her becoming a subject of the midnight channel... but its not a castle. its a prison, with yukiko being more resigned to the fact that she's stuck there no matter what she does

rise kujikawa - kanji tatsumi

ooh boy you thought kanji's rejection sensitive dysphoria and fear of being judged was bad in canon? add him to a visual kei style idol group and see how that goes. kanji is the drummer for the group, and is often considered very reliable and cool, with many people having crushes on him for his outwardly brusque and badass demeanour. but take off the makeup and the hair dye, and he's just kanji, a socially awkward timid kid who's scared shitless of being rejected by those around him. he moved back to inaba for a fresh start after an argument with the group lead to him being kicked out of the band, and the rumors forming around him are causing him to spiral. his dungeon is p much the same steamy bathhouse as in canon, but with the added bonus of shadow kanji switching between flamboyant and girly to tough and masculine because that's the 'role' he was given in the group

that's p much all at the moment, but star!marie and fortune!chie are coming soon once i think of their characterisation lol

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

Akane Owari VS Chie Satonaka [Danganronpa Survivor VS Persona 4]

Hifumi: Akane Owari, the energetic Ultimate Gymnast with a Fiery Temper!

Leona: Chie Satonaka, the Spunky Dragon with Deadly Legs!

Hifumi: Both had an appetite for juicy meat, but both have MORE of an appetite for a hella-good scrap! But the question is which one of them is gonna come out on top!?

Leona: He's Hifumi and I'm Leona!

Hifumi: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, talents and skills, to see who will win a DEATH BATTLE!

Leona: Ok, let's just get this over with...Blah blah blah Ultimate Talents blah blah blah Hope's Peak blah blah-

Hifumi: Hey! I know we end up having to repeat the same things, but you need to get used to it! Besides, you're not the one who has to say it.

Leona: Well, just get on with it. Give us the quick version.

Hifumi: I'm afraid I can't do that. See, there are actually a few differences with this combatant than with our last two. But as for what you already know, Hope's Peak Academy was a prestigious school that only allowed the best to enroll in it. But in an attempt to use these students to create Ultimate Hope for the Future, the academy and it's student body were infiltrated by the Ultimate Despair, Junko Enoshima, and her sister Mukuro Ikusaba.

Leona: Yeah, we know all this. Revolutions, violence, war, destruction, ever horrible thing you could ever possibly imagined followed Enoshima's plot. 

Hifumi: But what we HAVEN'T mentioned up until now, is that besides Mukuro Ikusaba, Junko Enoshima didn't act alone in achieving her world-level destruction. By brainwashing the 77th Class of Ultimate Students, and showing them the tragic death of their most beloved classmate, Junko turned them into the group that we now know as the Remnants of Despair.

Leona: If I remember correctly, the Remnants went about causing destruction and despair of all kinds, making life a hellish nightmare for everyone until they were all captured by the Future Foundation. Then they were put in some kind of...virtual reality or whatever?

Hifumi: A virtual realm known as the Neo World Program, designed from the basis of Mr Fujisaki's research. A replica of the previously famous resort location, Jabberwock Island, was created, and the 77th Class were placed inside this virtual realm, with their memories being reset. The goal was to rehabilitate them; to reset them to how they were before Junko took their lives away. However, things took a drastic turn for the worst when Junko Enoshima herself returned, hacked the program, and kickstarted her twisted Killing Game all over again!

Leona: Didn't Junko...die though?

Hifumi: Yes. It was actually an AI copy of Junko Enoshima that was hacked into the program, infiltrated the code, and once again, took the form of Monokuma to host her second Killing Game. If things had gone to plan, she would have been able to take over the bodies of her old Remnant allies and turn them into her. "Operation Junko-fy All Mankind" as she called it.

Leona: It just gets worse! 

Hifumi: That it does. Of course, the one who put her in the system was Izuru Kamukura, and that same Kamukura, after remembering his previous life as Hajime Hinata, was able to boot her out again! Alongside Mr Hinata though, there were four others who were able to survive the deadly game right until the end. Sonia Nevermind, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Kazuichi Soda and...

Leona: Akane Owari!

Hifumi: Ms Owari is, to be frank, a little thick-headed. She lives life on passion alone, doesn't really think about things, nor really does she understand most basic principles. However, she's a thoroughly charming woman with headstrong morals and a kind heart!

Leona: And she has MASSIVE TITS!

Hifumi: I...won't comment on that...

Leona: Aw, c'mon Fumi! I've seen those cutouts in your room! You've got a thing for knockers, don't you!

Hifumi: Not if they're bouncing in my face in 3D form! Behind a screen is fine!

Leona: Alright, well, anyway, due to her fiery personality and love for strength and fighting, Akane quickly established herself as one of the muscles of the group, besides the likes of her classmates, Nekomaru Nidai and Peko Pekoyama.

Hifumi: This is most likely due to her fairly rough upbringing. It's widely unknown even to the Future Foundation where her family lived originally, but Ms Owari's family includes multiple younger and older brothers and sisters and they're not very well off. In her own words, it wasn't uncommon to wake up and find a dead body in the trash, and due to her lack of prior education, she struggles to learn basic things like names and numbers. Despite all that, Ms Owari caught the attention of Hope's Peak Academy for her skills with parkour, and her overall incredible agility.

Leona: Akane was inducted into the 77th Class as the Ultimate Gymnast. But...when I usually think of gymnasts, I usually think of people who dance gracefully around a stage with ribbons...Not whatever this battle hungry maniac is supposed to be.

Hifumi: It is indeed true that Ms Owari might be the furthest thing from your standard gymnast, but her skills speak for themselves. She's certainly agile and possesses enough stamina to pull complicated moves and techniques off. So much so that she's capable of sparring with overpowered people like Nekomaru Nidai, who also trained her to be a better fighter, as well as Sakura Ogami.

Leona: Wait, that happened in Danganronpa Summer Camp! Are we allowed to count that? It's not canon!

Hifumi: True, but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. There aren't really any dramatic changes in power between the spinoff and the main series, so Ms Owari, Mr Nidai and Ms Ogami would be the relative strength they were during their academic years. Plus, Danganronpa S also reveals that the program doesn't change a person's physical condition, strength or speed, and assuming this fits in line with the program of Danganronpa 2, it's important to keep this in mind.

Leona: Fair enough...In that case, Sakura actually states in that game that if she were to ever stop training, it wouldn't be long before Akane surpassed her. And given that Akane shares a feat with Sakura in being able to survive an encounter with Monokuma and match him blow for blow, this might very well be the case.

Hifumi: Well...Yes and no. There are a few caveats we need to keep in mind with that feat.

Leona: Like what?

Hifumi: First of all, it's unclear what the strength difference is between Hope's Peak Monokuma and Jabberwock Island Monokuma, but it's heavily implied due to the nature of the digital world, the latter is stronger, and the only reason Ms Owari survived that encounter is because Monokuma was toying with her and her hotheadedness that made her want to challenge him in the first place. However, the fact that she survived relatively unscathed is indeed an accomplishment, even though it's implied that she was injured.

Leona: In fact, most of Akane's feats are exactly this. Despite how she's a relatively skinny thing and not packing nearly as much muscle as Sakura, Akane's biggest asset, besides her...y'know...is her abnormal defense!

Hifumi: Right! Not only did Ms Owari survive that encounter with Monokuma, her introduction scene in Danganronpa 3 paints this defense in a bright light. Nekomaru Nidai attacks her with enough force that it causes 3 explosions the SIZE OF THE ACADEMY BUILDING!

Leona: So let's do a couple calculations here. The main campus of Hope's Peak Academy is stated to be " approximately the size of four regular high-schools." The average size of a public high school is around 129,000 cubic feet, though these are just averages, and actual school building sizes can vary greatly.

Hifumi: But assuming the average is correct, that would give Hope's Peak's building a total measure of around 516,000 cubic feet. With our calculations, taking the power of one explosion then multiplying it by three, the total power of these explosions is, in the very least, around 12 Kilograms of TNT.

Leona: Speaking of Nekomaru, he and Akane have a pretty strong bond, and it's thanks to him that Akane knows a fair few techniques for fighting...even if they are fairly limited. They've sparred with one another on multiple occasions, and every time Nekomaru beats her up, Akane gets back up again real quick, raring to go another round!

Hifumi: Besides the incredible strength we mentioned just now, Mr Nidai is also, supposedly according to Mr Hanamura, able to kill a cow with his bare hands, tore the head off a giant robot, and took a bazooka head on just to protect the Gymnast. Yes, that killed him, but his body was only slightly bleeding, instead of having been blown to smithereens.

Leona: In what matches we've seen from then, one of them had them fight with so much force that it completely demolished the 77th Class's homeroom, and blew a giant hole in the wall, and Akane was also cratered into the wall and just got right back up again. In the other, Nekomaru lands a deadly punch straight to Akane's stomach, and it downs her for a minute at most.

Hifumi: Ms Owari, as she is now, is also more than capable of dishing out damage just as much as she can take it. If we scale her with other characters in the DR universe, she's most assuredly on the same level of strength as the likes of Mr Nidai, and in most materials, she's capable of launching people into the air with her punches, and in the Comic Anthology, accidentally breaks Ms Hiyoko Saionji's spine by simply pulling on the sash of her kimono.

Leona: And due to her gymnastics, stamina and athletic ability, is possibly faster than people like Genocide Jill, who is capable of dodging lightning. She climbed the Hope's Peak school building in a matter of seconds, ran so fast past Teruteru it created a force that spun him around, and then proceeded to catch knives in her teeth! In addition, her vitality and inner strength is so strong, as a Remnant of Despair, she didn't eat for what we assume is between 2-3 years and DIDN'T DIE OF STARVATION!(based on the supposed timeline of the Killing Games, with Danganronpa 2 taking place 1 year after Danganronpa 1, by which point the tragedy and the Remnants would have been around for 2 or so years) 

Hifumi: Plus, Mr Nidai states that Ms Owari is faster than any athlete he's ever seen. And as the  Ultimate Team Manager, he's has trained countless sports teams and track athletes, so a claim like this from him is a big deal! And this isn't even mentioning what is arguably her most impressive display of power so far...Her fight with Nagito Komaeda.

Leona: Now I know what you're all thinking... "Nagito's a frail wimp! And Akane almost strangled him to death in DR2! Of course she would win a fight against him!" But we're not talking about THAT Nagito Komaeda. We're talking about Nagito Komaeda from SURVIVOR, who thanks to Organization Zetsubou, took the Hope Serum and became a monster with unlimited talents, becoming an Ultimate Hope himself.

Hifumi: Granted, Ms Owari ended up losing that fight and her spine along with it, since Komaeda hadn't really awoken to his true latent abilities until that fight reached it's conclusion. However, even if we assume that Nagito Komaeda fought at around half the power of Hajime Hinata at that time, it's still an INCREDIBLE feat, especially since she was able to do significant damage AND outpace him!

Leona: AMD Especially since Hajime DID lost to Nagito in the fight they had just before that arc, even if he was massively holding back. Assuming Izuru Kamukura can reach the same relativistic speed as the likes of Mukuro Ikusaba, and Nagito at that time was half that, that's still speeds of around Mach 10! 

Hifumi: And she was able to punch his sickly body so hard, he hurtled and smashed through several stone pillars! This feat most certainly puts her on the same level as Mr Nidai's explosion feat. In fact, if we scale this feat similarly to Mr Naegi's concrete wall punching feats from our first battle, the energy required to smash Komaeda through one of these pillars is around 31.572 grams of TNT. And based on the number of crashes, we can surmise that he flew through a total of 12 pillars, effectively increasing that feat of strength to 378.864 grams of TNT, or at least a little under it!

Leona: In addition to all these amazing abilities, Akane herself possesses some traits unique to herself. It may have to do with her upbringing, but Akane has some very animal-like abilities, including sensitive ears, a bloodhound's sense of smell, and a natural danger instinct that allows her to sniff out powerful opponents. In fact, since we apparently are counting DRS and UTDP, she very almost figured out Mukuro Ikusaba's true identity by sniffing out her dangerous soldier aura...Too bad she rarely ever knows what to do with that information.

Hifumi: It's no secret that Ms Owari isn't very smart. As I mentioned before, she lives almost entirely off of passion and relies on her gut instinct. Because of this, she rarely ever has a plan and jumps into fights that she really can't win, and rarely does she think things through, come up with calculated battle plans, and she doesn't really have a unique fighting style, even with the one's Nekomaru taught her. It's part of this reason why she has such a terrible win : lose ratio compared to every other capable fighter we know.

Leona: Who cares? Neither does Kuripa, and we know how busted he is.

Hifumi: A very valid point! We will talk more about that when we get to his episode in a future season!

Leona: However, even if she is one to just fight with her fists and think with them to, it's not like Akane doesn't have her own unique equipment she can use to give herself the edge.

Hifumi: Indeed. Danganronpa 3 implies that eating food, specifically freshly prepared meat, not only increases Ms Owari's strength but restores her vitality too. Kind of like how food in RPG's does. And failing that, she also possesses a secret weapon...A Special Enhancement drug developed by Ms Seiko Kimura and Mr Teruteru Hanamura.

Leona: You're telling me she's got a final form!?

Hifumi: That she does! This is what's known as Doping Corn Soup. Granted, she's only used it twice, and both times have proved the serum puts her strength on a level either equal or above that of Mr Nidai's. Now, keeping in mind that Ms Owari DIDN'T use this during her scrap with Komaeda, and pulled off her multiple pillar feat without it. If we were to add that sort of power to the feats that she's already shown, can you imagine just how capable she could be?

Leona: Nekomaru, as a reminder, ALSO battled Nagito AFTER Akane, when he was at a higher level of power, and was able to hold out for a similar length of time. See what we were saying about him earlier for other feats of strength that Akane can now not only match, but possibly overpower. As a side effect, the soup also clearly heats up her bodies base temperature, as when she uses it for the first time in DR3, steam comes off her body in room temperature.

Hifumi: So yes...While Akane Owari may be a meat-loving meathead who's hungry for battle, and reckless to a fault, she indeed has the sheer power and capability to back up her bold claims. While once an enemy of the Future Foundation, one thing is clear now more than ever. We're happy to have her!

Leona: Shadows. According to Jungian psychological studies, they are innermost thoughts of man; specifically parts one would keep to themselves, and personalities one would wear as a mask to hide their true self. 

Hifumi: That was oddly inquisitive of you...

Leona: Well, I know this because of the importance of these studies in Shin Megami Tensei: Persona.

Hifumi: You know, I think that might be the first time I've heard someone call Persona a Shin Megami Tensei game in a while. 

Leona: It ain't what it used to be. But back in the days of Persona 4, we were riding that hype train baby! But anyway, in the world of Persona, there are certain people who can take the power of these dark sides of themselves, and use them to help them fight in other worlds, combating the evil Shadows and upholding truth and justice in their universe! One of these groups is the Inaba Investigation Team!

Hifumi: In order to more properly become stronger, one must identify their own weaknesses and improve upon them. For the Investigation Team, this was taken into a very literal sense, by confronting beings made of the worst parts of themselves, and accepting them for who they are. Alongside those like the clumsy Yosuke Hanamura and the elegant Yukiko Amagi, one of the roughest and toughest members of this quirky group, is Ms Chie Satonaka!

Leona: At face value, Chie is your average short-haired, hyperactive tomboy. She watches kung-fu movies, chows down meat like a hungry lion, and regularly kicks delinquents in the balls for bothering her bestie...and Yosuke...a lot actually...For no real reason...

Hifumi: Living in the laid-back and easygoing town of Inaba, her life was fairly uneventful and with not much excitement...That is until Yu showed up.

Leona: Me?

Hifumi: No, not YOU! Yu, as in Y-U Narukami.

Leona: What a confusing name.

Hifumi: Anyone else could easily say the same thing about Hifumi or Leona.

Leona: Persona has a Hifumi too! And she's way hotter than you!

Hifumi: First of all...rude...Secondly...true?

Leona: On Yu's first day at Yasogami High, he was on a tour of the town with Chie and Yukiko, when the trio suddenly came across the scene of a crime, where a dead body had been found hanging from some telephone poles!

Hifumi: At the same time, rumors were going round about a mysterious phenomenon called the Midnight Channel, in which staring into a TV while it was turned off at midnight while it was raining would allow one to see one's soulmate. Narukami quickly found out that this was...partly true.

Leona: It wasn't your soulmate that appeared on the other side of the screen, but as Yu and co. discovered, it showed the image of whoever it was that was going to die next. Like when the channel showed the figure of Saki Konishi, and she turned up dead soon after. Just before this, Yu, Chie and Yosuke learned that Yu had the power to enter another world by traveling through a TV screen, filled with dangerous beings, which were these Shadows.

Hifumi: Fortunately, after they entered the TV for the second time in hopes of finding out the truth behind Konishi's death, Narukami and Hanamura, along with their new companion Teddie, a strange bear that lived in that other world, discovered they could wield the powers of Personas. Things unfortunately took a turn for the worst for Satonaka, when they found out that the next person to appear on the midnight channel was none other than her best friend, Yukiko Amagi.

Leona: Chie was...to put bluntly, a little upset, and ended up charging headfirst into the TV realm. This led to an encounter with her own Shadow, which she initially rejected, but then accepted after some soul searching, and once she did, she gained the power of the Persona herself, awakening to her spiritual guardian, Tomoe! Now, since we've gotten to this point, I have to ask. Throughout the course of the game, Chie's power evolves overtime, and as it does, her Persona gains new strength and new forms. So which one of Chie's Persona's are we going to be using for this fight?

Hifumi: Excellent question! As is the case with most party members in Persona 4 and 5, Satonaka's Persona has three evolutionary stages. The initial form is Tomoe, then that ascends into Suzuka-Gongen, and finally, Haraedo-no-Okami. For this battle, we will be giving Satonaka her initial Persona, Tomoe.

Leona: Aw, really!? We're gonna nerf her so heavily!? For shame Hifumi!

Hifumi: Now hold on a moment, there IS a good reason for this. Unlike the Persona 3 characters, such as Mitsuru Kirijo or Akihiko Sanada, Suzuka-Gongen and Haraedo-no-Okami are OPTIONAL forms that are unlocked by completing Satonaka's social link, whereas for those two, it was a mandatory evolution that carries on throughout the games. Additionally, the only iteration of Persona 4's franchise where Chie's Persona ascends to the level above is Persona 4 The Animation, and she doesn't do so until the fight with Ameno-Sagiri. In sequel chapters/games like Arena and Dancing, Satonaka continues to use Tomoe as her primary Persona, so we do have to take that into account. However, as to not dumb down her abilities, even if her Persona takes base form we WILL be giving her all of her ascended Persona's abilities, like the immunity to ice and Dragon Hustle.

Leona: Ok good. At least we got that cleared up. Anyway, now that she had the power to fight, Chie used her newfound abilities to help Yukiko do the same as she did; come to terms with her own Shadow, and together, they, as well as Yu and Yosuke, formed the Investigation Team with the goal of tracking down the dirty bastard that was killing everyone and kicking plenty of Shadow ass along the way...Huh...You know, it was on the tip of my tongue the whole time, but she really reminds me of Maya.

Hifumi: She really is similar to Ms Canzanilla now that you mention it...in the good AND the bad way...

Leona: What's that supposed to mean?

Hifumi: N-Never mind...Forget I said anything. What sets Ms Satonaka apart from the other members of her team is she's the only one who doesn't really use any sort of weapon, not even a steel chair like Tatsumi or a fan like Amagi. Instead, she relies on her own raw strength, and her mighty, and fine legs.

Leona: Don't be simping on main Fumi.

Hifumi: I'm just quoting the show!

Leona: Yeah, but seriously, from watching all those action-packed kung-fu movies, Chie learned how to really stick it to the Shadows, mostly with her powerful kicking abilities. For some extra oomph, she can also equip special kinds of boots to increase her attack power; the most powerful of which are the Moses Sandals, which also raises her critical hit rate.

Hifumi: As for her Persona, Tomoe is armed with a double-ended polearm, which allows her to skewer and slice Satonaka's enemies. And not only that, because of the magical power of her Persona, Satonaka is also capable of cryokinesis...However, her own brand of this power is limited compared to other ice users like Kirijo, Teddie and Kitagawa.

Leona: Chie does start off as the party's resident ice user, but as time goes on, she starts to drift away from those kinds of attacks as Teddie ends up taking that spot, choosing instead to specialize in raw physical power. This includes moves such as God's Hand, which summons a super powerful fist strong enough to pound a Shadow so hard, it obliterates the ground beneath it, Agneyastra, which is kind of a less-powerful meteor shower but STILL a freaking meteor shower, and Mind Slice, which can fuck with an opponents mind and cause them to panic.

Hifumi: If the need arises, she also has access to light skills that allow her to instantly KO opponents, though this doesn't work on particularly powerful opponents like bosses. And even in the case these powerful physical blows aren't enough to take her opponent down, Satonaka can use abilities like Tarukaja, which raises her attack power, Rebellion, which increases her critical hit rate, and Counterstrike, which can reflect strong physical blows right back at her opponent. 

Leona: And as we said before, at her max power, Chie can use her own signature move Dragon Hustle, which raises all of her stats, like her power, defense and speed. However, it should be noted that this doesn't last for very long. Three attacking turns at least. 

Hifumi: And assuming that a turn in combat is equal to a minute in real time, that would mean each effect lasts only 3 minutes. 

Leona: The Persona has a few other weaknesses as well. For example, even though it is a spirit, it can still be hurt by regular attacks, and if it takes too much damage, it can break, and thus becomes unusable for a short time. Also, since Tomoe is a part of Chie's soul, any damage done to the Persona is reflected back on Chie herself as mental damage. 

Hifumi: Also, using a Persona for too long induces this same break effect, and can tire out the user. Physical attacks drain health while magic attacks drain stamina. These can be replenished with spells and items.

Leona: However, these buffs would definitely last long enough to allow Chie to pull off her most extraordinary ability...the GALACTIC PUNT! A kick so powerful, it can send any opponent into the stratosphere!

Hifumi: That...might be a bit of an exaggeration. Given how little is explained about the move, it's only been shown to send enemies flying off into the horizon. It's never outright stated that Satonaka's kick can send enemies to space. Even so, a kick like that must have a power level equal to or around 770,000 Newtons, or 166 Grams of TNT. 

Leona: Ok, but what about bigger opponents that she's used the Punt on? Like Iron Tager or Blitztank?

Hifumi: Those, unfortunately, don't count. BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle may feature Ms Satonaka's moves from the Arena games, but it's not canon to Persona 4's storyline. If it's canon anywhere, it's the BlazBlue storyline specifically, so we can't take that into account. She HAS launched Shadows bigger than her into the horizon, but it's hard to lock down an exact weight for some of these Shadows. Even then, they can't be that much heaver or durable than the Investigation Team are themselves for this to be possible, and it's not like she can use the Galactic Punt on Boss Shadows like the Reaper.

Leona: But she's beaten the Reaper, right?

Hifumi: Yes, and opponents just as strong, if not stronger, like Izanami or Ameno-Sagiri. However, we need to make it perfectly clear here that Satonaka did not defeat these foes by herself. Frankly, due to her own set of weaknesses, it's very unlikely that she could. For example, she lacks any definitive way to heal herself, and given her focus on physical attacks which drain her vitality, this isn't an ideal scenario.

Leona: Also, Chie may be one of the physically strongest members of her team, but that's really the only leg she has up on her teammates...pun surprisingly not intended. She is blindingly fast, being able to dodge fire and lightning attacks from Shadows and Personas alike, but she's nowhere near the fastest member of her team, as Yosuke and Yu have been show to outspeed most of her attacks. But her biggest flaw in her overall stat pool is her defense.

Hifumi: Satonaka is what we call a "glass cannon", a term used in roleplaying games, board games or video games to describe a character or unit with strong offensive power but weak defensive capabilities. Her most impressive feat of survival is being able to directly withstand flaming attacks from Shadow Yukiko, despite her and her Persona having a crippling weakness to fire, but aside from that, she hasn't shown to be very physically durable, and can be taken down easily by a strong enough enemy.

Leona: But defense or no defense, Chie's got more than enough firepower and willpower to take her opponents down one at a time. And with the aid of Yu, Yosuke, Yukiko and everyone else, she was able to become the hero the quiet town of Inaba needed, solving the murderous mystery, and living the rest of her life with her head held high...And it turns out she found her calling in dancing not soon after!

Hifumi: I still shudder to accept that Dancing All Night is canon...

Hifumi: Alright, the combatants are set! Let's see which of our fighters comes out on top this time!

Leona: IT'S TIME FOR A DEEAAATH BAAATTLLLLLLEEE!

The scene opens to a peaceful day on a quiet street. A young adult Chie Satonaka walks down the street with her hands in her pockets, minding her own business.

Chie: {Hums to the tune of I'll face myself} Hm HM hm~ Hm HM hm~ Hm HM hm-HMMMGH!?

She freezes, her eyes widen, and her body tenses up as something within the window catches her eye. Inside the butchers, a perfectly prepared cut of juicy meet lies on display. Her tongue sticks out and she starts drooling on the glass like a dog.

Chie: Oh my gosh...! So thick...! So fresh...! Oh I can almost taste it from here! I gotta have it...! Wait...

She checks her pocket to see how much cash she has in her wallet. Her eyes light up when she realizes she has spare change.

Chie: Yes!

She brazenly barges into the store with a sunlight smile on her face.

Chie: Hey, Boss! I'll be taking that-HUH!?

As Chie reaches out to grab the fresh meat, a girl of taller stature than her and long brown messy hair reaches out for it at the same time. They stare at each other, their hands twitching as they reach out for their shared prize.

Chie: Excuse me...But this is mine, thanks...

Akane: Hey, I was here first, shrimp...Wait in line.

Chie: Grrrgh! WAATCHAH!

Akane: GUHUGH!

Akane snatches the meat from Chie, who responds in kind by karate kicking Akane through the butchers window. With some of the meat still in hand, Akane crawls to her feet and glares the girl down, as Chie adopts a fighting stance.

Chie: How about this!? We battle, right here and now! Whoever wins gets that meat!

Akane: Oh buddy...You don't know what you just started...HRGH!

*RIP!*

Akane tears off her shirt and skirt to show her training outfit underneath it, and pounds her chest competitively.

Chie: ...

For a moment, Chie looks embarrassed down at her own lacking chest, but shakes off that shame and goes in for the first attack.

Chie: HYATCHA! WATATATATATATATATATATATATA!

Akane: MUDADADADADADADADADADADA!

Or rather the first several...Chie opens with a flurry of kicks, which Akane does her best to parry, though the speed of the girls attacks make it fairly difficult. Chie then lands and goes for more precise kicks, which slowly overwhelm the Ultimate Gymnast.

Chie: Aw, what's wrong big girl!? Can't keep up!?

Akane: Hrgh...Cut it out, you damn pest! 

Chie: WAAGH!?

Akane grabs Chie's leg during one of her kicks and flings her over her shoulder, sending her flying back through the air. Chie skids along the ground, trying to retain her balance, and looks up fearfully as Akane rushes toward her at a superhuman speed, reeling up for a punch. However, a blue glowing tarot card appears in front of Chie in this dire moment, and knowing immediately what to do, she kicks it and breaks it.

Chie: Grr...TOMOE!

Tomoe appears above Chie and spins it's polearm, creating a blast of icy wind that hits Akane dead on. Her body slowly freezes over, slowing her down.

Akane: Gah...What the hell!?

Chie: Haha! Score 1 for...W-Wait!?

She suddenly whirls around to look up at Tomoe.

Chie: How am I doing that!? This is the real world, why is my Persona-?

Akane: HYAGH!

Chie: CHII! HAMAON!

Akane: Huh!? YAGH!

Having dropped her guard for a second, Chie is unprepared as Akane catches up to her, brushing off the ice and ramming into her head-first! Chie tries to activate her insta-kill bless skill, but Akane dodges it.

Chie: RAAGH!

Akane: Gegh! Agh! AHOOGH! OW! AGCCH! YAHOOO!

*SMAAASH!*

Chie quickly recovers despite the heavy blow, and chooses not to question things, as she and Tomoe start to combo Akane. Despite being able to hold a defensive stance until now, the duo of Persona and user overwhelm her pretty quickly. Tomoe spins it's weapon and smacks Akane so hard, she flies back and gets cratered into the side of a building.

Akane: Urgh...Not again...! H-Huh!?

Chie: Haha! HOPE YOU'RE READY! 

Akane shakes off her fatigue quickly and looks up to see Tomoe and Chie readying an attack. A huge golden fist appears propelled by rocket fire, and flies straight towards her.

Akane: Ggrrgh...OMPH!

Akane takes the cuts of meat she was able to pull off earlier and stuffs them in her mouth. As soon as she swallows them, her eyes twinkle with excitement.

Akane: Hell yeah! LET'S GO!

*KABOOOOOOOOM!*

Akane: EAT THIS!

*SHATTER!*

Chie: Aaaagh! 

Akane: DORYAAGH!

Chie: DAAGH!? OOF OOH ACK!

With the meat restoring her vitality and getting her on her feet faster, Akane is able to dodge out of the way of the God's Hand as it obliterates the wall behind her. She lunges into the air towards Tomoe and with one powerful swing, takes the Persona out! Chie collapses to her knees, clutching her head as the damage is reflected back onto her. Akane then lunges towards Chie and punches her in the jaw so hard, she skips along the ground like a stone on the water.

Akane: Fight me one on one like a man, cheater!

Chie: I'm not a man, moron! And neither are you! But alright...you asked for it...! HYUAGH!

Akane: YAGH!

Chie: WATCHAGH!

Akane: UHUGH!

Akane swipes at Chie with a sideways karate chop as the spunky dragon flies at her. She jumps over the chop and elbows Akane in the neck.

Chie: OOPH!

Akane spins around and kicks Chie in the mouth.

Akane: BLUAGH!

Chie lands on the ground, bounces back and haymaker's Akane's jaw.

Chie: GHUAGH!

Akane backflips, lunges forward and headbutts Chie in the face.

Akane: PHOOGH!

Chie kicks Akane in the stomach.

Chie: LEAGH!

Akane slaps Chie around the face.

Akane: AUUGH!?

Chie punches Akane in the...um..."assets"

Akane: BAHAGH!

Chie: BAHAGH!

Akane: AAUGH!

Chie: AAUGH!

Akane: UHUAGH!

Chie: UHUAGH!

Akane: DOOGH!

Chie: DOOGH!

And thus the cycle continues...Until the two kick each other in the face and spin backwards, distance being put between each other. 

Akane: Man, Legs...You are hard to put down...!

Chie: Alright...That DOES it...! DRAGON'S FURY!

Akane: ...!?

Chie: AGNEYASTRA!

Akane: AGH! OOH! UHUGH! N-No fair! AGHCK!

Having now bought enough time for her Persona to reform, Chie summons Tomoe again, and the image of a long golden dragon surrounds Chie as she powers herself up with Dragon Hustle. The pressure emanating from her is immense to the point that Akane can feel it even from a distance, and is barely able to react in time as several small meteors come crashing down on top of her, destroying the road around her.

Chie: Hrugh!

Akane: Uh oh...!

Chie stretches out her legs, and Akane is unable to react in time when she rushes forward at an increased speed and drops down.

Chie: Galactic...PUNT!

Akane: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!

Akane is just about able to block Chie's ultimate move, but the force of the kick still rockets her up into the air. 

Chie: Ok Tomoe...Let's finish this!

Tomoe holds out it's polearm and Chie stands on one end of it, letting her Persona fling her up into the air like a shotput.

Akane: (Ugh...This is bad...There's gotta be something I can...Huh?)

Akane tries her best to think of some kind of tactic, but reaches into her pocket and pulls out a bottle. Inside the bottle is a strange green mixture, and her eyebrows raise as she recognizes it.

Akane: Oh...yeah...I forgot I had this...Welp, no time like the present!

Chie: Huh?

Chie, now running up the wall of the skyscraper she smashed Akane into earlier to catch up with her, looks to see her opponent drinking a strange green fluid. She starts to panic as Akane's body grows in size; her muscles and veins bulge out, and her body starts to emanate something fierce.

Akane: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!

Chie: Grr...TOMOE!

Tomoe blasts more ice at Akane with the intent of freezing her over, but this fails to do much due to the heat radiating off of Akane's bulky build. With an ear-to-ear smirk on her face, she crushes the bottle in her hands and smashes onto the side of the building, running back down it to clash with Chie.

Akane: This is it, coconut-head! YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN!

Chie: You mean YOU are, JERK! BEHOLD MY WRATH!

*BAM!* *WHACK!* *THUMP!* *POW!* *THUD!*

Akane: Agh! Dogh! Gagh! OHOGH! GRRGH!

Chie: Graggh! Ugh! Dagh! Gahagh! RAAAGH!

 *SLAP!* *BOP!* *BONK!* *BANG!* *PING!* *NUU-WOM!*

Chie: HOOOOOAAAAAAAAAGGH!

Akane: KURRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!

Akane and Chie: HA-CHAAAAAAAAAGGH!

*CRACK!* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

After repeatedly hitting each other with immensely powerful punches and kicks to the face and chest, scaling the building the whole time and destroying the area around them with the sheer force of their attacks, Chie and Akane reel back a kick and a punch respectively, and clash. The force of the clash causes the entire skyscraper to split completely in half! But then...

*Sizzle...*

*Crack!*

Akane and Chie: Huh!?

Simultaneously, both of them power down. Chie loses her stat buffs as Dragon Hustle wears off, and Akane's muscles slowly retract and her body begins to it's normal size and strength. The two are alarmed by their sudden power decrease, and then become unfortunately aware of just how high up they are, as well as the fact that they're suspended sideways in the air, and just destroyed their only footing

Chie: Oh...

Akane: Shit...

Akane and Chie: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!

And just like that, they PLUMMIT! Chie waves her arms wildly and Akane's eyes widen in horror as they fall a long, long, LONG way down!

Chie: Grrrgh! TOMOEEE!

Akane: !!??

Though running low on fuel, Chie summons Tomoe again to launch her just like before. Chie soars towards Akane and grabs her by the collar, reeling back for another powerful kick!

Chie: GALACTIC PUUUNNT!

Akane: NOT THIS TIME, KID!

Chie is horrified as Akane dodges her superpowered kick, and screams in agony as she elbows her knee and breaks her leg!

Akane: That ain't a punt...! THIS is a PUNT! HYAAAAAAAAGGHH!

Akane in turn, grabs Chie by the shirt, throws her upwards, and volleyball slams her back down to the ground with every ounce of strength she has! Chie flies so fast she smashes through the image of her own Persona and rockets to the ground like a meteor!

Chie: AAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH-

*KRAAAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

*SMASH!*

Akane: Hmph!

Akane steadies herself and safely lands on the ground, the road beneath her shattering apart. Behind her, a ginormous cloud of some erupts as a city block is destroyed from the impact of Chie's volleyballed body.

Akane: Haaagh...Haagh...Haah...Huh?

*SMACK!*

A severed arm slaps down in front of the Ultimate Gymnast, holding a wallet with slightly charred money poking out.

Akane: Haha! Yes! That meat is MINE! Come home to mamm-Hah!?

Akane snatches Chie's wallet and turns to head back to the butchers...only to realize that it, and the meat inside it, was enveloped by the explosion and burned to a crisp.

Akane: NOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Leona: Now I know what you all must be thinking...Ahem... "WHAT!? HOW!? WHY!? WHAAAAAATT!?"

Hifumi: I know it sounds ridiculous, but-!

Leona: "ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?"

Hifumi: SHUSH! Hoo...Believe us, the results of this matchup were certainly a surprise! We all know Ms Akane Owari to be a rather foolhardy, not very delicate fighter, who flies headfirst into danger without really thinking about how outmatched she might be. And it's because of her mentality that she ends up falling short of victory more times than not...But THIS is NOT one of those times!

Leona: I think one of the main sources of confusion with the results is likely that people thought due to Chie's crazy mystical Persona-summoning powers, Tomoe was more than enough for her to score a victory, especially with it's ice powers and superpowered attacks, made stronger by how it can buff itself.

Hifumi: And that was indeed a legitimate possibility! If we were to run this match 100 times over, Satonaka would undoubtedly score quite a fair few victories, but based primarily on what the two fighters have been shown to be capable of, it's likely that Ms Owari can pull off the victory more times than not.

Leona: To start with, their respective stat pools were actually pretty even on most fronts. Chie is fast enough to dodge magical fire and lightning attacks from the likes of Akihiko Sanada or Shadows that use lightning abilities. However, given that Akane's base speed and agility has been confirmed to surpass most athletes trained and managed by Nekomaru, it's probable that she can match or even outspeed those like Toko Fukawa and Mukuro Ikusaba, who are capable of almost the exact same feat. Even if it is still likely that Chie is faster based on how SHE scales with speedy characters like Yosuke and Naoto, Akane would still be agile enough to keep pace with her. In the very least, she would be more than fast enough to dodge Chie's insta-kill light skills.

Hifumi: Ms Owari also had no definitive way to take down Chie's Persona, Tomoe. Sure, she was definitely tough enough to destroy it, which would have mentally damaged Satonaka and left her vulnerable, but the Persona wouldn't have stayed down for very long, certainly not long enough for Ms Owari to find an opening because...she doesn't really do that...

Leona: However, even though one of them actually has a proper education, the same is true for Chie. In truth, she's actually not that much smarter than Akane, and she also has a track history of jumping headfirst into dangerous situations, where she could easily end up outmatched. In that regard, these two are the exact same.

Hifumi: Another thing to consider is power. Satonaka did indeed have some powerful physical attacks from both herself, like the Galactic Punt, and even more from her Persona like God's Hand and Agneyastra. However, in the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax manga, Satonaka uses God's Hand on Hanamura, and he's able to dodge out of the way of it; causing the fist to smash into the floor and shatter apart the tiles underneath it. In contrast, Ms Owari has punched someone THROUGH multiple solid pillars, and she didn't even need to buff herself up to do that. Her feat of strength is undeniably stronger!

Leona: Even in their base levels of power, Chie could always use buffing spells to power herself up and increase her chance of landing a killing blow. But Akane had basically the same thing on an equal or even greater level. In Danganronpa Survivor, the effects of the Doping Corn Soup don't last for very long, but they most certainly last longer than any of Chie's damage and speed buffs, including Dragon Hustle. Also, as far as Chie's ice powers go, if Akane can break through solid stone like ice...well...then she can break through ice like it's paper! That, and given that the Corn Soup clearly heats up her body in some kind of way, she could probably just MELT the ice if she decided to use it.

Hifumi: But the real key to victory lied in one thing in particular...Defense and survivability!

Leona: That's two things...

Hifumi: But they fall under the same umbrella! The most potent feat of survival that Persona users have shown to exhibit in the core series is the...as Boomstick originally called it, the "Oh shit, we're dead!" explosion from Persona 3. However, given that Persona 3 and 4 are set in different realities and rely on different logic, the survival feats of the Investigation Team can't accurately be scaled with that of S.E.E.S, besides perhaps their Persona abilities in the Arena series.

Leona: Chie has beaten the likes of Akihiko in fights before but only in her own route of the P4A story, not really in any core canon material. To be frank, like we said before, Chie being a glass cannon means that her feats of survival simply DO NOT COMPARE, to Akane.

Hifumi: Ms Owari has survived being punched straight in the stomach by Mr Nidai, tanked a building-level explosion that completely blows Satonaka's Galactic Punt out of the water, got right back up after being cratered into a wall, and was able to sustain fighting against Nagito Komaeda while he was at half his power, who went onto completely obliterate her spine, which she later completely recovered from.

Leona: While it is true that Chie has aided in fights against literal gods, that feat can primarily be attributed to the team, not just her strength. To be honest, considering Chie lacks any sort of way to heal herself, unlike Akane who could somewhat restore her vitality and boost her strength just by eating meat, it's unlike she even COULD beat the likes of Izanami and the Reaper on her own. This is made even worse when you think about how Akane's stamina is godlike, and Chie's gets exponentially drained every time she uses her Persona to attack. And to top it all off, believe it or not with Akane's fairly lazy attitude; even if it is by only a few hairs, Akane IS the more experienced fighter of the two of them!

Hifumi: Since their Hope's Peak days, Ms Owari has continued to receive advice and training from Mr Nidai, who has most famously trained top athletes and fighters on an ABOVE professional level. Sure, she's a slow learning student, but by comparison, all of what Satonaka knows about fighting comes from simply watching action movies. An impressive enough feat on it's own to replicate those moves, sure, but not enough when compared to someone who has literally been trained by the greatest trainer in the WORLD.

Leona: And yeah, sure, Chie does technically get SOME advice from Akihiko, but this happens AFTER she's already defeated a god with her team, and even then, Akihiko is more of a life coach than a combat coach.

Hifumi: Chie Satonaka may have been immensely strong, had a much wider arsenal of abilities, and could definitely compete with Akane Owari, but in the end, the Ultimate Gymnast's feats of strength and durability sent the spunky dragon back where she came from!

Leona: It was nothing "Persona-l" Chie, just know Akane Owari is the strongest person you could ever hope to "meat!"

THE WINNER IS AKANE OWARI!

Next time:

You'd be hard strung to find a personal bodyguard better than these two, but will their personalities define your decision, or their strength? If it's the latter, then you'd best pay close attention!

If the Investigation Team Played Phasmophobia

Because I haven’t played it in awhile but I might throw in a fanfiction of them playing it because why the heck not (after I finish the Cyberpunk Edgerunners fanfic though).

Yu Narukami - Would seldomly play seriously and never plays VR. He would rarely die and instead get everyone else killed by trolling. He always starts with a thermometer and EMF - the basics.

Yosuke Hanamura - would definitely play VR but everyone makes fun of him and call him a “VR Goblin” because he always plays it in his chair. He would play seriously and would probably guess the ghost correctly 50/50. He would mostly reference the journal and would offer to take the ghost photos. He always starts with a camera, and photo camera to get the bone.

Chie Satonaka - easily scared, but braves it and waits for someone to go in first. She doesn’t look for the ghost room, but instead looks for the hiding spots first. She usually is behind Yosuke or Yukiko. She’s usually the one who finds the bone and cursed object. The Ouija Board ALWAYS picks up her mic. She always starts with the thermometer and spirit box.

Yukiko Amagi - oh Yukiko will get into it religiously and will do it solo. She will become so comfortable with the ghosts that she will do the hugging challenge, join the Discord server, and will thrive to reach level 1K. She will join rando servers and will offer to let the ghost chase her. She takes ghost photos while it chases her and gets a thrill when it’s a deogen. When it’s a custom difficulty she will max it to the highest level. She loves the new asylum map. Her favorite ghost is the Yurei and she hates Revenants and Wraiths because they’re too much of a challenge. She would laugh hysterically during a hunt. She starts with the thermometer and UV flashlight.

Kanji Tatsumi - He will never play unless Naoto is in the same lobby. He will throw hands with the ghost but will scream if it comes too close. He calls “fingerprints” “fingies” and calls the UV flashlight the “jizz detector” because he can’t brain. Banshees love him. Kanji can never find a hiding spot in time if it starts to hunt. He likes to bob his character up and down. He will ALWAYS be down to play Tarot roulette. He always starts with an EMF and spirit box.

Teddie Kuma - He can never position the camera right. He always uses the cursed object early, especially if it’s the music box and will get someone killed too early on. Yokais will ALWAYS pick up on his mic. Teddie always starts off with a video camera and D.O.T.S projector, and will never turn his flashlight on in order to look for ghost orbs.

Rise Kujikawa - Truck princess. That is all. She’s too afraid to go inside.

Naoto Shirogane - The screamer (alluding to her fear of ghosts in Golden). She tries to fuckin’ brave it but will blow everyone’s eardrums out over every little thing. If she turns around and Kanji’s character is too close, everyone will be deaf by the end of the game. She prefers the small maps like the street houses and REFUSES to play VR. One time, she tried VR, at Tanglewood, and she hid in the basement behind the plywood barrier hiding spot and cried because she heard the ghost’s gurgling sounds and they had to take the headset and guide her character out of the house after the ghost was done hunting. She always gets the ghost right after 2 pieces of evidence and memorizes every ghost by the behavior. She starts with the UV flashlight and EMF reader.

EDIT: I imagine there would also be a moment where Yu would keep closing the door on Kanji until the ghost would start hunting, and Kanji would be like “WHAT THE HELL MAN” and then he would start screaming like the iconic moment like Markiplier did, like in this video, and Yu and Yosuke would both be cracking up like Sean/Jack and Bob. Naoto would probably already be dead just like Wade, and then Kanji would be pissed, while the ghost kills him, and be like, “I’m glad that they find my death SO HILARIOUS.”

EDIT 2: Yu, Yukiko, and Teddie would definitely start throwing objects around to throw everyone off and scare other players. Chie would do it if Yukiko is doing it. If Naoto and Yosuke die before they figure out the ghost, they would try to guide the other players into figuring out where their bodes are for insurance money or which ghost it is (they would try to align objects together to spell out the name of the ghost type).

[kitsumidori]

So I've been thinking, while I do like Salem having Mabel Pines voice (though I'd imagine it'll be more like Louis from Bob's Burgers) I am starting to think that Chie Satonaka's voice fits more perfectly with Salem

[the girl in green in this video]

I'll probably use the Mabel voice for Maggie instead

I THINK I FOUND THE PERFECT VOICE CLAIM FOR SALEM!!!!!!

“Wanna go out sometime?“ with pre-timeskip Dimitri, pre-timeskip Bernadetta, and Chie?

“wanna go out sometime?” ft. dimitri and bernadetta from three houses and chie from persona 4

*:･ﾟ✧ channeling my old high school cringe memories with this kek

gn!reader

tw: reader is a noble for the three houses request

✧ Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

It was so hard for you to even muster the courage to look at him in the eye that you were sure your ancestors are rolling over their graves next to Seiros.

All of your etiquette training went out the window as soon as Dimitri greeted you with a wave. You couldn’t meet his eyes as you quickly stuffed your mouth with cake. You were surprised that you didn’t choke on them considering that they were the creamiest cakes that the kitchen provided. Oh gods, what if you had cake stuck on your face and here you were stuffing your face full of sweets?

“I’m a bit honored that you invited me.” He said suddenly, and you had to bite back a choke and force the cakes into your mouth and your throat immediately regretted it. “It’s not often that we get to talk to each other without interruption. I’m honestly glad.”

You gulped down the tea to clear your throat as you met his eyes finally. “Y-Yeah, I hope that you didn’t find it too forward.”

He shook his head quickly, almost looking like a child who was caught doing something bad. “N-Not at all! I enjoy the time we spend together!”

Immediately, you flushed brightly at his words. He still looked like he was flushed from assuming that you were forcing him to have tea with you and not the absolute heartwarming words that he spouted from his mouth. You opened your mouth to try and tell him the implications of his words but he beat you to it.

His face immediately reddened, almost turning into a tomato and your brain made the poor judgment that he looked like a plate of pasta with marinara sauce. You had to stuff your mouth with more cake in order to not spit out your saliva from your laughing.

“N-Not in that sense!” He stammered. “But I truly mean that-but n-not in that context...!”

You swallowed your cake. “You wanna go out sometime?”

Now it was his turn to choke on something. “P-Pardon?”

“This is a pretty bad tea party with how we look like,” You spat out, noting how both of you were probably flustered beyond all recognition, “s-so... why not try for a new date?”

You were honestly surprised that came out smoothly.

You weren’t lying that you were flustered beyond recognition; your eyes were blown wide as your face was practically on fire. Dimitri wasn’t faring any better-his face was still red as the Bolganone tomes.

But his swift ‘yes’ was all the coolness that you needed.

✧ Bernadetta von Varley

“C’mon Bernie...” The girl hyped herself in front of her mirror. “You can totally do this! They asked you out from all the other people in the monastery for Seiros’s sake!”

It was a miracle for Bernadetta to even give praise to herself. It was even more of a miracle that she agreed willingly to go outside with someone. It was usually someone forcing her to go outside for lessons. And yet, here she was, doing the opposite of... well, Bernie things.

“Just... act normal.” She chided herself, looking at her mirror. Her reflection showed her messy mop of hair, her eyebags beneath her shaking pupils, her permanent frown as she began to see frown lines. It didn’t take long for Bernadetta to cry out in frustration and cover her face in her hands.

“Bernie?” She heard from outside and she let out a scream. “I’m here to pick you up for our tea time!”

She let out another (muffled) terrified scream as she scrambled for any sort of cover to protect her face, even though she was in the safety of her own room. The urge to huddle back to her bed was tempting but your insistent knocking was making her freeze in place.

“J-Just a second!” She called out, removing her hands from her face. She breathed in and out, recalling the old exercises Edelgard forced her to remember. Look them in the eye, keep your head up, and make sure your voice is clear. With newfound vigor, she opened the door wide-open. The glaring sun casted down its rays behind you, almost giving you a halo as her eyes squinted against the shining light. To be honest, Bernadetta didn’t even think she was hallucinating as she opens her mouth to say something.

“Do you wanna go out sometime?”

Not that kind of something!

Somehow, the sun slowly lost it’s shine, leaving Bernadetta to see you clearly. And to her horror, she sees your flustered face and she realized that those words weren’t just a figment of her imagination.

Before she could run back to her room, you quickly grasped the door so she wouldn’t shut it. “W-Wait, I thought I already asked you out?”

She screamed at the words, back to hiding her face again as she feels the blood rushing to her cheeks. “D-Don’t listen to what I said! I-I didn’t mean it!”

“S-So do you still want to have that tea time?” You asked shyly, not wanting to provoke her further.

“YES!”

Dorothea and Edelgard, who were watching the exchange behind a stack of crates, both facepalmed at the sight of Bernadetta trying her best.

✧ Chie Satonaka

“You wanna go out sometime?”

In retrospect, maybe Chie should’ve eased up her kick when you asked her that.

She’s still bowing down next to your cot, feeling bad that she rendered you immobile for the remainder of the school day. Embarrassment didn’t even come close to how Chie was feeling. Like seriously, who punts their crush’s gut when they ask her out? If Yosuke was nearby, he would’ve laughed his stomach off.

“I’m still so sorry...” She whimpered, apologizing for the umpteenth time. She can’t even look you in the eye as she sets her sights on her lap. Her fingers fidgeted on top of them, the feeling of wanting to kick herself never felt so good.

She hears you groan and the rustling of sheets before she hears you laugh. “I mean, it’s not that I wasn’t expecting that. I was sure you were gonna hurt me before I would even say anything.”

She groaned, burying her face in her hands as she almost felt like crying. Great, first she hurt you, now she made you think she was a violent thug? Can anything else go worse this day?

You gasped from her reaction and you immediately sat up. “N-Not that I think you’re scary! W-What I meant was--”

Before you could probably bury yourself even further, your side began acting up. You yelped from the pain, hands flying to your bruised side as you sucked in a breath between your teeth.

Chie immediately shot up, eyes widening at the sight of your pained self. Her hands shot forward, grabbing your shoulders as she pushed you back on the bed. “Hey! Don’t push yourself!”

Her worry outweighed the compromising position she placed herself in. She brought you back down to lie on the cot as she stood back. "Don't be too rash on yourself! Geez, you nearly gave me a heart attack."

You chuckled, leaving her confused on why you were laughing at a time like this. She waited for you to calm down, the blush on her cheeks slightly fading away.

"Sorry..." You said, slightly out of breath. "It's just that... This is an embarrassing first date, huh...?"

The raging blush returned immediately. Chie had to look away from your sheepish face as she fiddled with the hem of her jacket. "Wh-What's with that 180 turn?!"

You chuckled once more, but Chie soon found out you weren't faring any better. The flustered look on your face was something she won't mind staring at for a long time. The guilt of putting you in the school clinic was far back in her mind. As you continue to laugh, she slowly laughs along with you. The situation that brought you here really was comedic, now that she thought about it.

God, or maybe Yosuke was rubbing off on her.

"I mean..." She started, looking at you in the eye with a shy look. "We can always start over, can't we?"

[snowpeawritings]

omg I love your writing sm 🥰🥰 Anyways would it be okay to request some fluffy relationship headcanons for Chie, Haru, and Hifumi? I’m so gay for them and I crave content

Reader is gender neutral

CW (CONTENT WARNING): None

❄ Snowpea’s words: Quite a different layout from what everyone was expecting! I really wanted to try my hand at spicing up my old writing layout bc while I do like the gifs, I feel like it wasn’t enough. I think using different colored line breaks would be a good change! I’ll be following this layout for the rest of my works! (or you know at least til the next change which my undecided brain will do tomorrow HAHAHADHSF)

| Chie Satonaka |

- Probably the only time you get to see the boisterous girl so timid and shy. In a relationship, she tends to try and listen to what you want and what you like but she realizes that isn’t how a relationship is supposed to go. So now, she drags you around Inaba for either steak dates or your types of dates. She honestly prefers anything.

- If you were leaning more on being a shy type, she takes it in her hands to start conversations. It’s not really a difficult job for her since she has an abundance of topics to talk about: the newest kung-fu movie, new steak meals provided by Junes, Yosuke’s shenanigans, the list can go on.

- She is a bit self-conscious of who she is. She knows she’s not as pretty or feminine as the rest of her girl friends so she wonders what did you see in her. Times like these, you would comfort her that you loved her for who she is and she's her own person. Talks like those boosts her confidence a lot so she's thankful for you.

| Haru Okumura |

-Known to be quite the epitome of femme, she would always be prepared with handy skin care products and make-up. Hence she would always rope you in on her skin care routine and have you wear matching face masks. Healthy skin means a healthy life for her!

-Spoils you rotten. We've seen her treat the Phantom Thieves to an exclusive dinner in the theme park, why wouldn't she spoil you for an entire day having the park to yourselves? You're quite the lucky one to have the esteemed Ms. Okumura as your girlfriend!

-Oh yeah, you killed Sugiura. No ifs, buts and hows, he's thanos'd. Reduces to atoms. Never mentioning him again.

-Of course there would be people who don't agree with your relationship, mostly Haru's coworkers looking for the good of the company. Those times she takes a foot down and upright yells at them to leave you alone. She's the boss now and she won't tolerate anyone trying to tear you two apart.

| Hifumi Togo |

-She's a bit socially awkward but given time, she'll be meme-ing with you to the ends of the earth. She's not as bad as Futaba but she won't hesitate to say pepega when you do something wrong. It's either you die or you live long enough to say poggers at any given moment.

- She teaches you Shoji, regardless if you were great at it or not. Dates usually take place in the church or in a park with some food on the side. If you were bad, she takes time to teach you but it slowly devolves into a spiral of Shoji but in her own language.

- You won't be hidden from the cameras. Ever since the scandal that she won rigged matches, she's been under fire ever since. But she decides that she wants to start anew and with you by her side, she doesn't have any doubts in her mind.

[capitainressentiment]

I return

Part 14

[persona-incorrect]

Yosuke: Okay, yeah, I love Yu! I have loving feelings for him. But does that mean I’m in love with him? No-

Yosuke: *eyes widen*

Yosuke, in realization: I'm in love with Partner! Why didn't you say anything!?!

Chie: Well to be honest I thought you figured it out already.

[thatlittledandere]

Yosuke always knows exactly what to say

[overheardiniwatodaidorm]

I wasn’t about to make Fuuka say the f word. (Also happy bday Ken! I don’t have any memes for you atm but your mom is in this batch like twice so I’d call that a deal)

Bonus series meme :>
