[ persona 2: eternal punishment ] party dialogue compilation
updated 02.27.11, through after Mount Iwato/to link the Innocent Sin compilation. Everything through most of Monado Mandala is sitting on my computer, just need to...unlazy and format things.
One of my favorite features in Persona 2 is the party dialogue. Although only your main character appears on the map in dungeons, in non-combat areas the rest of your party will appear, standing around and available for you to talk to. Sometimes they offer commentary on the situation, sometimes interesting tidbits that flesh out their characters, sometimes they just make fun of each other. They have different dialogue in every area they appear in, and most of this dialogue changes after each major plot point. Sometimes they have more than one thing to say if you keep pestering them. It is, naturally, quite easy to miss this dialogue unless you revisit each location religiously after every plot point and keep jamming on the talk button, and I have been unable to locate a compilation of this dialogue on the internet. (The game script on GameFAQs has some of the dialogue, but doesn't seem to have all of it.)
Now that I've taken it upon myself to make such a compilation myself, I'm beginning to see why nobody bothered.
This is a compilation of the party dialogue in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. I expect it'll take me a while to finish this, because I'm busy with plenty of other things, and typing this up does take a while.
I've done my best to keep it organized, with plot points set out chronologically and the dialogue split by ward and then location within that. I've done my best to be exhaustive, but these are incredibly easy to miss, and so I'm reluctant to make promises. (Current issues: I always forget to visit Kasu High and get dialogue from the roof and basement. Always. idk, man.)
Some of these dialogues do contain minor typographical or grammatical errors! I have opted not to correct them. I have also left names as they appear in the English language release, even though my own compulsiveness really wants to edit "Seventh" back to "Sevens" every time I see it.
I am taking Nate's path on this run, so his dialogue will appear here first. (Sorry, Ellen fans, you may be waiting for a while.)
And while doing this for one game is enough to kill me, if you're looking for Innocent Sin,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tatsuya has something going for that over here!
The interviews at Seventh High School, before the principal's murder.
Ulala: Hmmm...
You can bike here, huh?
Ulala: Hmm?
The mouth on this poster is wet...
...Oh, well.
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, see that girl over there?
She got a card from the Joker.
If anything, it's just someone's prank.
Besides, what kind of person would send a notice to the person before killing 'em?
This ain't a horror flick, you know.
Ulala: Speaking of which, you said that Deja Vu Boy goes here, didn't you?...
Maybe you could meet up with him?
Ulala: (giggle)...
Matchmaker party, Matchmaker party ♥
I can't wait.
Ulala: Ma-ya, did you hear? Some girls from this class are making their debut...
Do you believe it? A debut!!
(sigh) I wanted to be a star... It's great to be young, with opportunities.
I wanna be young again...
Serious Guy: ...Anna might look like a punk on the outside, but she's not like that at all.
If it wasn't for that accident...
Katsuya: ...I see... I got it. Thank you.
...By the way, is there a Tatsuya here?
What has his activity been lately?
Serious Guy: Eh? Tatsuya?...
What did he do this time?
Katsuya: "This time"!?...
Uh, well... He hasn't done anything, but...
I see...
Ulala: Come to think of it, about that Deja Vu Boy you were talking about...
Wasn't he wearing this school's uniform?
A blue necktie means he's a senior, but...
Is there such a kid here?...
I wonder if he already went home.
Ulala: I bet he's hiding in the principal's office.
I hate those kind of people the most!
I'm gonna complain.
After discovering the principal's murder at Seventh, and Katsuya joins the party.
Katsuya: The key to the clock tower is missing from here. It could be a thief... In any case, I should contact lost and found...
Ulala: I thought that the Joker was just a rumor...That's...why...I...
I never thought a rumor would become real.
Katsuya: Helios...So that's another "me", they say...
Another me, oblivious to myself...
How ironic that it has to be a cat.
After the police reinforcements have arrived at Seventh, and before meeting with Baofu.
Katsuya: That "Old Maid" is not normal, but I'm stuck on what he was saying...
About the "Other Side", and "This Side"...
Ulala: (sigh)
We can't go to the party after all...
Well, it can't be helped...
Katsuya: ...It's been so long since I've been here.
I used to bring my little brother here for the festivals...
He's always been so restless...
If I look away, next thing you know he'd be gone... You know, he's still like that.
Katsuya: The disintegration of the beliefs, and then the festival itself was gone...
The only thing left is this shrine.
Ulala: Well isn't this a run-down shrine. Will the gods make my life miserable for saying that? Oh well, my life is miserable anyways.
Katsuya: The boy you say you saw at the Clock Tower...
You say the "Deja Vu Boy", but who is he? Does he know something about this case?
Katsuya: Either way, I'm surprised that you would go for sushi at this time of day. Do you reporters have that good of a salary?
Ulala: Hey, Ma-ya.
The one who helped us at the Clock Tower was the "Deja Vu Boy", right?
Are you sure you don't remember?
Why would someone who you just ran into at the station do that?
Ulala: Dammit, I never forget a guy's face...
Especially that Makimura's!!
Ulala: Say Ma-ya, wasn't this place featured in your magazine?
Like, this is a three-star sushi place.
Katsuya: Saeko Smith...was it?
Finding a hot-blooded teacher is rare these days. Very impressive indeed.
Compare that to Tatsuya... Why did he turn out that way while having a teacher like that. I just can't understand him!
Katsuya: Hmm... I wasn't aware that a shop like this was in Sumaru City...
I never noticed until now...
Ulala: Nothing good ever happens when I'm with you... Whatcha gonna do about my party!?
...Well, not that it's really your fault.
Ulala: I had ideas, you know? In Wang Long I'm a Moon Dragon, so I figured I'd have good affinity with a Red Dragon...and such.
Katsuya: So this is the healing stuff...
I never thought I would have to depend on this kind of thing but, it's helping now...
Personas...Philemon...
All these insane things are happening...
Tell you the truth, it makes my head spin.
Ulala: In case you forgot...
I'm just a regular, normal citizen ya know?
I'm feeling down by all these murders.
So, I want to calm myself down with some aromatherapy...
Breath in...breathe out...
Ulala: Ahhhh, that smells good.
Not like your room that smells all moldy.
A girl should keep her room clean ya know.
Katsuya: That man who killed the principal...
Did he commit the serial murders...
no, it's too early to decide that.
The serial killings started about six months ago...before the fortune telling craze began. Before the Joker curse...
Katsuya: I wonder about the boy who helped us...
Why was he there...?
And why did he disappear...?
Ulala: Hmm...from now on, pale skin is in...
I wonder if it'll really help me get my ideal boyfriend...
Ulala: (sigh) I was really looking forward to the party...
I can't believe I got involved in this mess.
No no, it's too early to give up!!
I still have time until I'm 25!
I'm pretty tenacious, you know!
Katsuya: Police work is an occupation where you come across a lot of "shady" characters...
I've actually gotten used to it.
Ulala: (giggle) That officer said "shady"!
Was that a joke, or was he serious?
Katsuya: The influence of Wang Long is unusual. That girl Anna ended up in a tragedy because of it... I wonder if it is related to the rumor.
Ulala: Wasn't the murdered principal of Seventh hooked on Wang Long fortune telling?
I wonder if he already knew the outcome.
Katsuya: The planets formed a huge cross centering the earth, called the "Grand Cross"...
Nothing in particular happened, though...
Ulala: Remenmber the Grand Cross that happened in August? That arrangement is bad luck in astrology! Did you know that, Ma-ya?
Katsuya: You're so composed. I think the strength of this Persona is just too much for the human body...
Ulala: A Persona is part of one's personality?...
Huh...that means...
Uh, a part of me is like that?!
Katsuya: Police work is nothing flashy. Many people confuse it with TV dramas. ...Do you think a murder case occurs every week?
Ulala: ...I've never seen a dead body before...
I'm speechless...
To think if I knew the person... Eew!!
Katsuya: There're some pretty rough-looking clothes. This is what's popular now!? ...Hmmm, I don't get it...Am I getting old?
Ulala: See Ma-ya, they have LOTS of cool clothes. As a magazine editor, you should wear nicer clothes than just the ones I pick!
...Here, here, how about this one?
Katsuya: Telling us to spread rumors means the boy must believe it too...
Who is he...?
Ulala: Ask him Ma-ya.
You got nothing to lose.
Katsuya: "Baofu", huh...
How can he say he'll know by meeting?
I don't like it...
Ulala: That man doesn't look sharp, but he's a good man inside!
My "man-tenna" reads wildly.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano... Won't spreading rumors about shops be considered as obstruction of business?
Though said, there has probably been no case of judicial precedent in court...
I feel the limits of the law and myself.
Ulala: So that's what the Joker looks like. I didn't think it actually existed! ...Do you think the Joker curse is, um, bad?
After Baofu joins the party, prior to investigating the sanitarium.
Katsuya: The serial killings 10 years ago...There is no doubt Tatsuzou's son was a suspect. But there was nothing to really prove that.
Ulala: Joker Curse...
It couldn't be...nope, there's no way!
Stuff like that's just not possible!
Baofu: I refuse to believe in gods and stuff. So I don't believe in prophecies.
The only thing you can trust is yourself.
Katsuya: The resonance of Personas...I never noticed it until Baofu said it...If only I could use this power for interrogating...
Ulala: H...Hey...Ma-ya.
What if I did the Joker curse...?
N, No, it's nothing. Never mind.
Baofu: Hmm...That stout guy is a Persona user, huh.
It doesn't seem fit for battles though...
You can get a lot from reading resonance.
Katsuya: Baofu said that it's just chivalry...
But I don't think so. He's got an atmosphere similar to that of a criminal...
Ulala: That boy that came to the Detective's Office is the "Deja Vu Boy", right?...
Why does he appear wherever we go...?
Baofu: The sign says antiques but all they have are clocks.
Can't say this place got good taste.
Katsuya: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tatsuzou Sudou...
If he had something to do with the serial killing 10 years ago...then...
Ulala: "Baofu", huh... What a weird name.
I can't say it with a straight face. I think I'll call him "Bao"!
Baofu: Hmph...what's with all these sweet smells, is this a powder room or something? They should air out this place.
Katsuya: ...The serial killings and the Joker case...is there a link between the two? ...But if rumors become reality then...
Ulala: By the way, they say that Mr. Harding got his position because of fortune telling. That's some success story.
On the other hand, that Anna girl broke her leg just like her fortune said...
She's finished as an athlete.
The outcomes in Wang Long are so simple. It's either really good or really bad. You either win or lose.
Ulala: Most fortune telling is pretty vague but Wang Long is really specific. And plus, it's accurate, so it's very popular.
Baofu: If Tatsuya Sudou isn't the Joker, then he didn't do the killings 10 years ago. I'm fairly sure of that.
Katsuya: ...Baofu's sense of fashion?
I don't know about "cool", but it sure isn't traditional...
Ulala: Sure, people in the industry are a little "different" from the general public, but...
Baofu's really "different", isn't he?
Baofu: Hey, why is that receptionist looking over here?...
What kind of face is that anyway?
Anybody walking into a publishing company wears something like this, don't they?
It shouldn't be a big deal...
Don't you see how "cool" this is...?
Katsuya: ...That's a cute lucky cat statue...
What? That's not what you expect me to say? Is it that weird... for me to be a cat lover?
Ulala: Isn't the Chief kind of weird? I mean...
To me, his appearance doesn't seem to match his intelligence.
Baofu: There's people like that on the net. Outspoken online, but can't say shit in real life.
...Wait, did I screw up somewhere?
Katsuya: Guardian dragon? Oh, the Wang Long fortunes. I'm told that I'm an intuitive Purple Dragon, but... I don't believe in it that much.
Ulala: My guardian dragon is the mystic Moon Dragon! What's yours, Ma-ya? ...What, you don't know?
Baofu: Wang Long fortune telling? The one Serizawa goes nuts about? ...She was saying something about a frank Navy Blue Dragon.
Katsuya: The general public does enjoy spreading strange rumors. And it will all come true...
The police won't be enough to handle this.
Ulala: Rumors becoming true...Hey!
So all the things people are talking about irresponsibly is not good, is it?
Baofu: Rumors that come true...
If we're not careful, some wicked individuals may us it for evil purposes.
Katsuya: I heard there are many theft cases here by students, but in such a wide open area...?
There's absolutely no crime control.
Ulala: I hear Satomi Tadashi is an expanding franchise. They don't have any competition. Oh, are high school girls the competition?
Baofu: Wouldn't juvenile crimes rise if adults couldn't scold their children?... The wrongs of sin need to be instilled in children.
Katsuya: As Ms. Serizawa says, it does seem abnormal... Could they have been running business illegally?
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya! An ether treatment.
Ahahahaha! That's so fishy, isn't it?
You want to give it a try?
Baofu: If you ask me, beauty spas are suspicious. All they're doing is soothing customer's complexes... It's the same as drinking.
Katsuya: I thought the history boom was transitory, but after ruins were found in that subway construction, it has really taken off.
Ulala: Will Kismet ever bring out a history book?
They should while it's popular.
Why don't you start one? I bet it'll sell.
Baofu: History boom... A yearning for the old days.
Just being old isn't what's important... An aged liquor has it's own unique flavor.
Katsuya: Followers of Philemon...?
Then, that was not a dream at all...
...I dreamt about this as a kid...A golden butterfly...masked man...blue room... The night I played Persona with Tatsuya...
Katsuya: But how did Baofu know about this place? He seems to know a lot about Personas...
Katsuya: Persona...Joker...rumors coming true...
What is happening outside the reality that I used to know...
Katsuya: The serial killings 10 years ago...is that Minister of Foreign Affairs...Tatsuzou Sudou connected to them? If so...
Ulala: So, in other words...you can have all sorts of Personas summoned here?
That's pretty convenient...
Come to think of it, back in high school I learned Persona from you and played it...I wonder if it has anything to do with this?
Ulala: I actually knew of that door before. It was there, then it wasn't, so I thought it was a weird door, but I didn't think it led here...
Ulala: So if we get a strong Persona here and we just we use that, and we're invinicible.
...Eh? It's not that easy?
Ulala: That Baofu seems to know about Personas more than us. He's kinda sketchy...
I wonder who he really is...
Baofu: So, what do you think? Useful, huh?
Listen, Personas are just tools...
Use them according to the situation.
Don't ever think that's you...
I'd never admit that's me...
You can only count on yourself in the end...
Baofu: Huh?
Do I hate Personas...?
Yeah, I hate them...
You can't use them when you need 'em most...
Don't ever rely on them too much.
Baofu: Huh?
Why am I able to use Personas...?
That's what I'd like to know...though I might've played that game when I was a kid...
During and after the battles at the sanitarium, before accepting Sudou's challenge to meet him at the Sky Museum.
Katsuya: Demons, murderers, and now the Mafia...
Is this still Japan here?
I can't understand it all...
Ulala: I've been so shaken up these days...
Why do I have to put up with this?
Why does a rumor become true...
Baofu: With this, I don't know what's coming up...
You ready?...
This is your last chance to turn back.
Katsuya: W...What is this room? It feels the same as Philemon's dimension...
Is this another world, too...?
Katsuya: Places where an incident occurs have a peculiar atmosphere. That's why eerie stories are based on those areas.
There are even stories going around about that bizarre murder case. Geez, even if it's a joke, I wish they'd stop it.
Katsuya: Necessity knows no law...huh.
But those prices are outrageous...
Isn't there anything we can do about it?
Ulala: Wow♥...Look, Ma-ya, a fairy!!
I've never seen one before!!
Should I take a picture?
Ulala: Wa... She's charging us?
She has a cute face, but what a money-grubbing fairy!
Baofu: I don't know much about this room.
That flying bug is the owner, right? Why don't you ask her?
Baofu: A money-grubbing fairy and talkative demons... After all of this and all those ghost stories, they seem like lies, huh?
But, there was one story that's really scary. Even I couldn't sleep. I'll tell ya when I feel like it.
Baofu: A fairy with a greed for money...huh.
Hmph, what an empty dream. In the end, dreams are just people's delusions...
Katsuya: That nurse seems to be very confused, but considering this horrible condition...
Everything must be true.
Ulala: This nurse said she saw a mysterious, armed group take on some demons!
Could it be those dead Mafia guys back there?...
Baofu: It seems that Tatsuzou is making enormous contributions to this sanitarium.
He probably bribed them under the mask of charity, but she spilled her guts quickly.
Well, it can't be helped in this situation.
Katsuya: He seemed to know you...
But what about you does he know...
Ulala: W, What's with this big eye...Gross!
Nyar...whatever is written on it...
I can't read it...
Baofu: I see why Sudou was hiding him...
I guess you can't blame him with such a crazy son. Like father, like son...
Katsuya: It was rumored that the murderer 10 years ago was the Joker...
And that Joker was Tatsuya Sudou.
In other words, the true killer was Tatsuya Sudou...Now we have an invisible connection...
Baofu: The "Kotodama" that Sudou was talking about must mean "rumors". So that means he became the Joker by the power of rumors.
Katsuya: T...This is...the work of a burglar!?
Is anything missing? You should check immediately. I'll begin a search!
Katsuya: What? It was like this to begin with?...
But...this is just so dreadful...
Well...But...Was it?...
Ulala: Oh, yeah, I didn't tell you, but recently I've started to learn the flamenco dance.
Wanna see it later? I'm really good♥...
Ulala: Come to think of it, how many years has it been since we began rooming together?
Really, what a rough life...
Ulala: You know, Ma-ya...
If you're going to bring a man into your room, at least clean up first...
...No...forget it. They're not really the type to care about this kind of stuff...
Half of this is my fault, too...
Baofu: Hmmm...That's a nice stereo.
It's a decent addition to this room.
Katsuya: This is my work place. Everyone here is good, but they are on duty right now.
Please don't cause any trouble.
Ulala: Huh?...A dog statue?
Just like in that detective's office.
This city has a bunch of weird objects.
Baofu: Hmph...It hasn't changed...
This atmosphere...
In the end, it's just a government job...
Katsuya: That proprietor is an information expert. Many guys at the station rely on him to keep tabs of the word on the street.
You can't say that it is legal, but we're in a similar situation.
Why don't you try talking to him?
Ulala: Ma-ya, what should we do?...
I asked the barkeeper, and he said that there's a bunch of kids at the museum!
What if something happens...
N...No, No! We're here to ensure it does not happen!
Baofu: Hmmm... This is a nice place here.
But this is a cafe?
I thought it was a new bar.
Katsuya: Who was "that brat" Sudou spoke of?...
From what I heard, this seems to be related to you, Ms. Amano...
Ulala: Huh? You want your fortune told, Ma-ya?
Then use Wang Long.
That one works way better.
Ulala: I just get the feeling "that brat" he mentioned...
Could that be the Deja Vu Boy?
Baofu: So whenever someone did the Joker vurse, he slipped out of that sanitarium room...
Thanks for your trouble, buddy.
Katsuya: Studying counseling for the future...
It is wonderful to have such a determined mind to move forward at such a young age.
I wish he could learn from her...
Or even develop a small fraction of her determination...
Ulala: Psychotherapy...Ma-ya, you got a worry?
Geee---zzz, you're so distant. At times like that why don't you talk to me...
Eh? That's not it? Hahaha...That's right.
You're always being positive...
It's useless just worrying about it.
Baofu: A Persona is whimsical. It can be your strongest ally, or your worst enemy...
...Isn't that similar?...To your own I mean.
Katsuya: If the Joker case is his doing, then the previous murder cases are likely to have been his doing, too.
But...the method is too different...
He probably doesn't use guns. Anyway, we have to capture him and get a confession.
Ulala: He knows...
What I did...
At this rate, he'll......Ma-ya...
Baofu: This store's owner...the "6th" sister, or whatever...I can't tell them apart...They sell the same stuff, so it doesn't matter.
Katsuya: Ever since we came back from the sanitarium, Ms. Serizawa has been acting strangely...
What's wrong?
Ulala: I can't believe...the Joker really exists...
He knows...about me...
...about what I did...
Baofu: So he IS the one behind the Mafia...
...I've finally found him...
I'll get him this time...
After the Sky Museum, once Baofu has rejoined Maya, but before going to the police station to pick up Katsuya.
Baofu: Hmph, the police are just guardians of the law. They're not allies of justice.
That wussie better realize that already.
Baofu: What is this "Other Side" that Sudou's son was talking about?...
And what does that broadsword kid know...?
Baofu: What's wrong with that woman over there?
Something's not right with her...
Baofu: Thinking about it, rumors becoming reality sucks. Due to that show, the city is full of Jokers...How will the police handle it?
Baofu: That wussie's brother...Tatsuya was it...
That's your "Deja Vu" Boy, right? He knew Sudou and the kid who was there...
And about you, too...
Who is he? What does he have to do with the "Other Side" that Sudou mentioned?
Baofu: Why do I always start crap with Suou? I'm not starting anything.
It's just that I get irritated when I see that wussie...
That's all...
Baofu: Listen, Amano! You can't depend on anyone! Never trust the society... even your friends! You can only rely on yourself... Got it!?
Baofu: It's not that computer users are superior, but the companies demand the skills... You can't fight against the technological advancement.
Baofu: Hey Maya, what do you want from here? Hey let's get going to Suou's place.
Baofu: All cases we get into are "accidents". It is handling information by using various means. Is the young Suou alright?
Baofu: Suou! HEY, Suou!!
...Amano, it doesn't look like Suou is here!
Baofu: What's up Amano? This is a police station. You suddenly got into fancy fashion?
Ahh! Before seeing Suou...eh?
Baofu: Whether it's a lie or a delusion, if it becomes a rumor, it becomes a reality.
...Even a model blimp flew.
Baofu: Be it fortunes or be it gods, can these guys do anything without having to rely on something?
Huh? How about Persona, you say?...
Didn't I mention it before?...
Persona's just a tool, nothing more...
Baofu: "The Other Side"...huh...
Don't tell me it's my "previous life".
After regrouping with Katsuya, before confronting Makimura.
Katsuya: That boy...He's the one we met at the Sky Museum. Why is he here?
Katsuya: What is Tatsuya hiding?
Only he understood what Tatsuya Sudou was talking about. Why is that...
Katsuya: That TV show had way too perfect timing...
It's one thing if they didn't know rumors can come true, but doing it otherwise...
Katsuya: The case can't be solved by standard investigation techniques...Why doesn't Captain Shimazu understand that?
Katsuya: I haven't seen Tatsuya since then...
He should tell me if he's alright!
I don't know what to do with him.
Katsuya: I don't get good vibes...from this place.
Having a place like this near a school, is a bad environment for the students.
No, loving music is not a bad thing.
I myself play the lute...
That's why I prefer a more wholesome mood.
Baofu: I didn't know there was a place like this here. But this is out of my league.
It's just too childish for me.
Katsuya: Is she the "man-searcher"?
I don't want to judge anyone by their appearance, but... Can we trust her?
Baofu: The owner here is more suspicious than what I've heard. Oh, wait, I shouldn't be saying that should I? I'm the same.
Katsuya: ...Extremists?!
No, I shouldn't suspect innocent citizens. Shame on myself...
Baofu: ...Hey Suou, extremists in this day and age?
What decade are you in, man?
Katsuya: Places like this aren't bad, but I prefer hot springs. They soothe the heart as well as the body.
Baofu: Chiropractor? I don't need one.
I know the best medicine in the world. It cures everything! Even love problems.
Katsuya: Lately men tend to like sweet stuff too!
There are actually more male dessert chefs. Ah, Ms. Amano, do you like making desserts?
Baofu: Look at all these diet products! You guys rely too much on drugs! Everyone too easy on themselves. What the heck, girls like it easy?
Katsuya: ...Wang Long Chizuru?
I do know about that famous fortune teller.
...What? You got your fortune told by her? That's pretty impressive.
Baofu: From those TV reports, the publisher can't be trusted either. Besides, do people here have a sense of journalism anyway?
Katsuya: The Joker curse that turns people into Jokers... So this is what Sudou's last words meant.
Baofu: "Joker won't die", huh...
He's right, his death won't end this case.
Hmph, too bad for us.
Katsuya: Did that fortune teller coincidentally speak about the Joker?
Or...is she involved?
Baofu: "Joka" and "Joker curse", huh...
Suspicious, but... Perhaps she was just playing along with word games.
Katsuya: Wh, What are you talking about...?
Even if I knew, I cannot tell a civilian the circumstances of the police!
Baofu: Suou, you got the gun from work right?
Is it still "New Nanbu"? Or has it been changed to "P230" by now?
Katsuya: ...Exactly what Baofu said. It doesn't matter to me what the law deems as just.
I'm going to do what's right...
Baofu: So Suou, are you satisfied at how corrupt the police system is? Aren't you disgusted by being a sucker?
Katsuya: I had a feeling there was something behind Ms. Serizawa's bright personality...
I hope she does not make any mistakes.
Baofu: Even Serizawa would have a shady side. Getting caught up in a marriage scam is a part of it. Nowadays, everyone has problems.
Katsuya: Past cases suggest victims of marriage fraud, never TRULY resent the imposter...
I hope that is true of Ms. Serizawa too...
Baofu: Not truly resenting the swindler...eh.
Despite being a swindle, they give you at least a moment of happiness?...How lax...
Baofu: Let's go to Hirasaka first.
We gotta find that man-searcher.
Katsuya: More Jokers...
And here we can't even handle one...
Katsuya: What I'm saying is, our rooms are much cleaner. It might be a bit prejudiced, but...a woman should be a bit more...like...
Katsuya: I understand that this situation we are encountering is hard to believe.
But...What can we do!?
If my testimony, that of a fellow civil servant, can't get them to believe...
How can I get the police to move!?
We are the guardians of the law...but the law is there for the people! To protect the law is to protect people... But...
Katsuya: From here on in, this is my personal will.
As a human being, I plan to confront this case's solution head on.
Katsuya: After that, I had my men search the beach, but I couldn't find Tatsuya...
Where is he hiding...?
Katsuya: The police already have many reports on Joker-related incidents. The ripple of the curse is spreading through the city.
Katsuya: That guy with the Captain...That's the first time I've seen him, but who is he?...
He doesn't look like a government official.
Katsuya: I didn't expect Ms. Serizawa to do the Joker curse. I figured she'd go for a much more direct method...
After confronting Makimura at Parabellum.
Katsuya: If Ms. Serizawa has already become a Joker, she will certainly attack that man...
So we're nothing but his bodyguards.
Baofu: I want to ask you just in case...If Ulala completely becomes a Joker and we can't handle her...What do we do? Kill her?
>>Save her no matter what.
Baofu: ...Heh, that's so you. You're a wussie. Just like Suou. Let me just warn you that I'm different from you guys.
>>If we have no other choice...
Baofu: So you have the resolution? You seem to be the type to commit crimes unknowingly. How many do you think were hurt because of you?
But that doesn't concern you. Because you haven't done anything.
So it's not your problem...right?
Katsuya: Hmm? The atmosphere seems odd...
Did something happen here?
Baofu: According the guy there, one of the customers all of a sudden went crazy. Probably the same thing as Ulala...
Katsuya: Now that you mention it, Ms. Serizawa was acting strange since the incident at the school. Who knew she did the curse too?
Baofu: We've got Makimura, but what now?...
There is no guarantee that Ulala will return to normal.
Makimura: Do we really have the time to be here?
...Mr. Cop, what are you quiet about?
Katsuya: Nothing, I was just thinking about putting you in here.
Baofu: Hmph, better throw him into a real one. That place is dark, the food sucks, the floor is cold, and it's a real nice place.
Katsuya: You don't seem to understand the position you're in. Listen, Makimura! If she didn't cooperate with us, you'd already be dead!
Baofu: Is that con-man enjoying playing the part of the criminal? Normal people don't say stuff like that. He's watched too much TV!
Katsuya: ...I feel sad.
Makimura, have you no conscience?
What you did was clearly a crime!!
Makimura: There! Officer, look at that man!
See, see all men are like that.
You're a man too, so you understand, right?
Baofu: Hey Suou, this con artist is talking to you.
Do you know how this guy feels?
Katsuya: Makimura...
I am responsible for and obligated to protect you.
I'm doing my best to prevent future crimes. You have no right to complain.
Baofu: Protecting a criminal? Get real!
It doesn't matter what happens to you. It's just that we can't make her a killer.
Katsuya: Most people can't distinguish twins...But familiar people, such as family members, can tell right away. Even the 7 Satomi sisters.
Baofu: The difference in relatives who look alike...is like wine, such as grapes from different fields or seasons which labels can't tell apart.
Katsuya: Most places like this don't allow young children after 6 PM.
However...there are kids who don't follow that rule. Many fake their age. You can tell most of them by their voice though.
Baofu: I've heard a rumor that this is a casino.
The information was in bits and pieces...like "slots are easy", or "bingo cashes in."
Baofu: Did she really become a Joker?
Well, if worse comes to worst, we could just kill him.
Katsuya: Something definitely happened...
We must find someone with a spare key...
Let's hurry, Miss Amano.
Katsuya: I tried to investigate his criminal mind, but...
His is just an excuse.
Katsuya: ...Huh? Barbell!?
Didn't you mistake it for something else?...
Baofu: That missy didn't have the key, right?...
Let's get outta here.
Katsuya: Um...could you take a look in there?
This is the women's locker room, so...uh...
Baofu: I don't understand people who pay high prices just to come here...
Me? I'm just fine without it...
Katsuya: Now, let's find Miss Serizawa.
Baofu: Tatsuzou's son said that Tatsuzou turned him into a Joker...
They weren't planning to create more Jokers too, were they?
Katsuya: This may come as a surprise, but I tend to eat in places like this often.
I don't have time to enjoy a meal.
Baofu: That waitress is also a victim of the rumors.
She used to be a normal girl, but there was a rumor about her talking like a ninja.
She always was a hardcore ninja movie fan. But the rumor exaggerated it. In a way, this is the most dangerous city in the world...
Katsuya: A sidewalk sale, huh...
Have they gotten a permit? If not, I will have them removed at once.
Baofu: Accessories are like fine wine where the creator's delicate care shows clearly. Mere looks aren't good enough.
Katsuya: I've heard of a tanning salon that treats wounds and illness...
This must be the one.
Well...the fact is, that rumor has been spread. The part of it coming true is just full of it...
Baofu: Makimura and that storekeeper...
Don't they seem like similar types? He might be buying hate from women too.
Katsuya: Either way, it turned out just like that owner said. The rumor about the man-searcher could be true...
Baofu: Something seems strange...Why did Serizawa call you? If she's gonna kill the swindler, she doesn't need to get permission, right?
It may be because of the curse, but would a person really have that kind of ability when turning into a Joker?
Katsuya: Baofu's idea isn't bad. There are sins that can't be judged by the law. Then they must be judged by the people, right?
Baofu: Good timing... Why don't you put this guy's picture up as "Women's Public Enemy #1: The true face of Makimura!!" or something...?
Katsuya: Question him about his other crimes? I don't intend to let him go, but his safety has a higher priority! I'll take care of that later!
Baofu: Hehehe, that swindler is rebellious now.
What are you gonna do, Suou? Grill him thoroughly?
Katsuya: Ms. Amano... Can you shut Makimura up?
His words are irritating me... I can't seem to hold back my anger!!
Baofu: Those bastards who are defrauding women would do anything to deceive them, huh...
Talk about no integrity.
Katsuya: Hey Baofu!
How can you just be like that when Miss Serizawa is in danger!
Baofu: Ulala's so dumb, getting fooled by a guy like that. She has no eye for men. It's all because she counts on fortunes so much.
Katsuya: What a criminal says can be a benefit. It may go awry in the way a person acts...
However, you don't need to preach it.
Baofu: Cheap stuff has surely gotten better, but, it just substitutes the good stuff, right?
That shouldn't make anybody happy.
Katsuya: Maybe not beauty spa, but men wear make-up nowadays too. I even trim my eye brows...
Baofu's a rather "old-fashioned" guy.
Baofu: They didn't have beauty spa for men when I was young. You even needed guts just to buy men's cologne. ...What happened to manliness?
Katsuya: Mr. Makimura, I would like to get your opinion. But I'd like to get Ms. Amano's opinion first. Understand?
Baofu: Oh! Even a piece of trash who tricks women feels embarrassment. Hmm...I see...In that case think of how your victims must feel!!
Katsuya: Several Joker cases have just been reported!...The situation has changed!
We can't go by the book anymore.
Katsuya: If I can't move when it counts there's no point in me becoming a detective. Even if times change, my father's beliefs won't.
Baofu: (sigh)...That wuss seems to have finally grasped reality. The police today aren't any different from an average corporation.
After Ulala rejoins, as the party tracks down Noriko and her kidnappers.
Katsuya: Thanks to Ms. Serizawa, we now know how to cure people who've become Jokers...But we can't just take everyone to the Velvet Room...
Ulala: I was conscious when I was becoming a Joker. It's not like someone else was controlling me. I was just upset...
Ulala: So...in other words...that is the true me. I can't make any excuses.
Really...I'm so pathetic...
Baofu: Is Serizawa still bothered? How stupid. There aren't any perfect people in this world. Everyone who lives has "Kegare".
Baofu: I'm not trying to console. Anyone who hopes for Kegare-free people is a fool. So are those who try to become that.
Baofu: Humans are a combination of both, good and bad. What's the point in focusing on just one side?
Baofu: The more perfect humans are, the more ruthless they can be.
Ulala: I turned back to normal thanks to you guys...but what'll happen to everyone else who did the Joker curse?
Ulala: Even if the Joker is a Persona, it's completely different from ours. Kinda like the opposite...I don't know how to put it...
Katsuya: That girl Noriko did the Joker curse...
I should have noticed it earlier. I didn't investigate it deep enough...
Ulala: If that girl Noriko was abducted because she became a Joker, that could've happened to me too... I can't let this pass by!
Baofu: This is ridiculous.
Did we volunteer to save the Joker people? I can't be bothered with this crap.
Ulala: The Joker was a Persona.
Undoubtedly, my Persona...
It was another side of me.
Ulala: (sigh) ...It makes me sick. Even though I understand it, I don't want to admit that's my true self.
Katsuya: High school students need to be more lively, like them...
Somewhere brighter would be better though.
Ulala: Being at a club at this time...
Maybe those kids are a band or something? Or just working a part-time job?
Baofu: Can't even drink in peace at a place like this. This is a place for kids.
Katsuya: The students here seem to view Seven Sisters High School as their rivals...
Did something happen in the past?
Ulala: So this is Kasugayama High School...
It's pretty dull... No wonder it has such a bad reputation.
Baofu: With two schools in the same district, of course there's gonna be rivalry!... I never heard of anything happening in the past.
Katsuya: How should I say this...um...Ms. Serizawa!
You must forget about that scum! Just think of it as being bitten by a stray dog...
Ulala: I've caused you all so much trouble...
I'm really sorry! Please forgive me!
...No?
Baofu: Look at Ulala straining herself. Maybe she grew up a little now?
Hey Ulala! Quit being easy on yourself!
Katsuya: ...Men are wolves.
I can't deny that, but it's unfortunate that all men have to be labeled that way.
Ulala: You shouldn't trust men so easily.
Be careful, Ma-ya! Men are wolves! It'll be too late after you get hurt.
Baofu: Hey, Ulala, aren't you confused? Don't blame your foolishness on men.
...You understand right?
Katsuya: Even if my job is hard on my body, I'm still 25. It's too early... Come to think of it, my father had back problems...
Ulala: How are your shoulders, Ma-ya?
I've got these big melons, you know? It's pretty rough on my shoulders...Whew.
Baofu: Putting Ulala aside...
Do you have problems with chills?
...I used to know someone who had that...
Katsuya: Does this place require all employees to earn a pharmacy license like some other drugstore chains? A Farmer license? ...A, Amano...
Ulala: Discount drugstores are very nice. They have good prices and selection. But I'm a little worried. Do they really know about drugs?
Baofu: In company wars, what's your weapon? Those are prices and trust. If prices are the same, everyone will go to the store that they trust.
Katsuya: H...Honestly, I've never gambled before...
I don't really know the rules...
Ulala: Huh? How could I have forgiven Makimura?
Well...um...I was stupid too...so...
It's kinda too bad I have no more rivalry.
Baofu: You went so far as to manipulate a rumor...
Geez. We're not here on a picnic. Play AFTER we finish our business.
Katsuya: Atone for his sins...?
What sins... Tatsuya...?
Ulala: The mob's casino behind a club...
I'm curious since I like gambling...
Want me to read your luck?
Baofu: They made a place like this their hideout...
They're underestimating me...
Katsuya: It's not like you have a grudge against Ms. Serizawa, right? I hope she doesn't take it personally...She just needs some time.
Ulala: Ahh...kind of...after that incident, something feels awkward. Ma-ya, is there something you want to eat? I'll pay...
Baofu: I don't think that Anna girl is in the Mafia, and I don't think it's a trap either, but...
Well, a little extra caution doesn't hurt.
Katsuya: Zodiac is the club that is rumored to be the hideout for the Mafia. I was planning on researching it sooner or later...
Ulala: By the way, that Anna girl probably doesn't know that Tatsuya saved her, does she?
Baofu: It's none of my business what happens to some brat named "Noriko"...Unless it helps us find out what their intentions are.
Ulala: Didn't he say he has villas overseas? Don't believe it, it's all a lie. He just made it seem so, getting tanned locally.
Ulala: The key to judging a man is, his shoes! Guys with cheap, dirty shoes are no good, even if the rest is okay. Beware!
Baofu: Wanna make a bet? To see if Ulala will be tricked by a man again. I'll bet that she does get tricked.
Katsuya: Service regulation violation...
It isn't something an outsider would just say regularly. Baofu...what is he?
Ulala: After all...I can't talk about others.
I caused Ma-ya trouble too...I can only talk bad about Makimura.
Baofu: Silly how you were after a Joker to kill, but ended up becoming one.
Try not to be a nuisance anymore, eh...
Katsuya: The only prize I ever sent in for was in a coffee sweepstakes...
I used to drink a lot of coffee.
Ulala: Are there going to be any prizes from Kismet? Lately, magazines give out a lot of prizes...Why don't you try something?
Baofu: Now they have pop-top openers on cans, but back in my day, we collected pull-tops and stuck them onto postcards...
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, I agree with what Ms. Serizawa said... We can't allow her to commit any more crimes!
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, let's hurry. We have to...
We have to help Noriko! We can't let such a young girl turn into a Joker!
Baofu: It doesn't matter if she's a minor, or if she indirectly commited murder with the Joker curse... She must pay for her crime.
Katsuya: The police are improving their network as well. Our main goal is to fight network crimes, while increasing the office efficiency.
Ulala: What do you write your copy on, Ma-ya? A typewriter? Computer? ...I can't even type without looking at the keys.
Baofu: Leave computers and booze to me. What do ya wanna know? ...Huh? Hw to enter Japanese characters? You gotta use the Japanese OS.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, do you prefer atmosphere over quality? I prefer quality of taste. Yes...A good coffee shop is a place with good cake!
Ulala: If someone took you to a place like this, you just might fall for 'em, right Ma-ya?
Hey, Ma-ya?
Baofu: There are people who buy wine for the label design. There's nothing wrong with that, but isn't flavor most important?
Katsuya: The Persona symbolizing the human sin...Joker...
So anybody can have that trait.
Ulala: Sorry, I'm sorry?...But look, we confirmed that a person who did the Joker curse turned into a Joker!
Baofu: Everyone has the potential of becoming a Joker. Serizawa has proven it. That's just too bad.
Katsuya: How touching... Ms. Serizawa... I guess she can think of it as a costly bride training...
No, I'm not thinking of forgiving a criminal.
Ulala: It's about the inside of a person, inside! Men and women are both about the inside!
This is the lesson of the day!
Baofu: People all grow from getting hurt. If it taught you a lesson, at least you got something out of it.
Katsuya: Besides the point of Ms. Serizawa being a good wife, a girl good at domestic work is a very reassuring existence to single men.
Ulala: Marriage...I yearn for it. If I do say so myself, I think I'd make a great wife. Unlike Ma-ya, I'm good at domestic work!
Baofu: I guess everyone has at least one thing they're good at. Recently men are getting used to house work. It may be a weak point.
Ulala: Eh? Don't smoke in here? ...Don't be so uptight, Ma-ya...If you worry about little things, you'll get more wrinkles.
Ulala: Actually, when I was tricked by Makimura, I didn't report it to the police...
Why do you ask...?...
Ulala: Because if he's arrested, I can't give him the death of 1000 fists! I'm not so soft!
...Well, that was a long time ago...
Ulala: Ah! Come to think of it, Makimura invited me for a cruise even though he didn't have a boat!
Ulala: Uki------------!!
I knew I should've smacked him!
Ulala: Now that I think of it, Ma-ya, you have a license to scuba dive, don't you?
Hmmmm... Maybe I should get one.
Ulala: Come to think of it, I tried a psychic network to track Makimura down...
I don't need it anymore.
Ulala: What have I been training my fists for...
I've been hitting the speedbag hard, just thinking of giving Makimura an iron fist.
Ulala: Ultimately I aimed at you, and when I saw Makimura's face, I just lost all will to do it... Really, I'm so stupid.
Ulala: By the way, Ma-ya, have I met Makimura at GOLD before? I felt I have, even though that was supposed to be my first time.
Ulala: Was that my...true nature...?
I'm starting to hate myself, really.
Katsuya: The Joker is the shadow of the heart...
It must be an incarnation of the evil side everyone possesses.
Katsuya: If that's so, the Joker is within me too...
Inside Ms. Amano and Baofu. But it's not anyone's fault. Kegare is part of us all...
Ulala: Ma-ya, I've caused you so much trouble...
On top of that you even saved me.
Really, thank you.
Baofu: I overheard that the kidnappers were speaking Chinese. Must be the Tien Tao Lien...
After saving Noriko, before meeting Sneak at Aoba Park.
Katsuya: Their son hasn't come home yet. Considering there has been more and more Joker incidents...I hope nothing happened.
Ulala: Do you think it's true that Bao killed 25 people? He doesn't seem THAT bad...
Ah, it's that. A woman's intuition.
Baofu: Their kid still hasn't come home.
If he did the Joker curse, he may have been abducted like the rest...
Katsuya: Unfortunately, we don't have time to find that woman. Even as we speak, people turned into Jokers are probably being hunted...
Ulala: Ma-ya, did ya hear what that guy said?
The woman here was abducted by people who wore black. She was probably Joker-hunted!
Baofu: It's pretty useless just hitting one or two of the hideouts. You have to hit the source of it all.
Katsuya: A government officer working with an assassin... That should never happen!
I WILL expose all this corruption!
Ulala: The guys are being kinda scary. They don't need to get so upset.
Ma-ya, you should stay away from them.
Baofu: I don't care what you think of me.
We're from different worlds. Just keep that in mind.
Katsuya: All crimes have a motive. Even Joker-hunting.
Only if we could find the reason...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, why are those killers able to catch people who turn into Jokers?
Do they know who's going to be a Joker?
Baofu: He said that the hunting was part of their scheme. The abductions that are happening must be related too. They're hard to get.
Baofu: Ch...! If that damn brat Noriko wasn't around, we wouldn't of lost 'em!
...Dammit, give me a break!
Katsuya: Right before Baofu joined us, he said it was out of "heroism"...
Can we still trust him?
Ulala: Hard to tell what Bao is thinking. He always wears those glasses, and you can't see his expression. I don't think he's bad though...
Baofu: Sorry, I'm gonna keep on doing this the way I've been doing it.
It so happens I'm not good at holding back.
Katsuya: I'm breaking my penitence disposal for now...
But I'm still a public servant!...I won't allow even a colleague's illegal actions.
Ulala: Does Bao have something against the Mafia?
Judging by his actions at the club, something must've happened in the past.
Baofu: So? How many more Joker users do we have to bring to the Velvet Room?...
I'm starting to get sick of this.
Katsuya: It seems like publishing companies have many unknown people coming and going...
Do they even notice an outsider?
Ulala: I see, the magazine printers are from another company. Your old partner wasn't with the company. Layout is a design job.
Ulala: ...Hmm?
Then, what is Ma-ya's job?
Baofu: The reason for outsiders coming in and out often is because the magazine printers are outsiders. The publishers are "Editors".
Katsuya: Baofu... Why don't we stop hiding things? If there's something I can do, I won't regret helping.
Ulala: Baofu was scary at Zodiac, huh? It seems he has a shady past, but I wonder if that has anything to do with it...
Baofu: ...There's nothing to talk about.
And you don't have time to waste on me, right?
Katsuya: Goal of life... I never thought about it.
I'm just living my life as I see fit.
Ulala: Mr. Suou, Bao...
All of you have goals in life.
I guess men and women ARE different...
Baofu: Gender has nothing to do with life, right?
You can't rely on someone else for an easy way out... I know you realize that.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, is Ms. Serizawa alright?
She said something again that worries me. Is she alright this time?...
Ulala: Stores like this suit a guy of few words.
I feel, how shall I say, an adult "appeal"
...Mysterious men are kinda attractive.
Baofu: (sigh) Of all the things she could say.
She can't feel at ease unless she's in love? What a simpleton.
Katsuya: Noriko's strong feelings for Anna...
It cannot be forgiven...Using a youth's innocent feelings...
Ulala: It's hard to become honest when a companion's feelings are too strong. Anna was probably like that.
Baofu: There's too many weak-willed people. Those that take advantage...are they geniuses...or fools? That's debatable.
Katsuya: Tatsuya was going in and out of that club...
I thought I understood about my brother, but I actually...knew nothing.
Ulala: Anna and Tatsuya seemed very close.
Looks like they used to go to clubs together. What do you think of that?
Baofu: The older brother's love isn't reaching the younger. Maybe that love is just elder's ego? It's important to see both ends...
Katsuya: It's true the police have been overlooking the Mafia. It was the thought of violence creating peace. But I'll never admit that.
Ulala: To think there was a Mafia like that in this city...I'm a little shocked.
Gotta look at the world differently!
Baofu: The Mafia?...Too obvious. They're all over the place. Especially around downtown...
Cops just pretend they don't see them.
Katsuya: Many versus a few...
We can't stop all of the kidnappings. If we only know where they're being held...
Ulala: We saved that girl Noriko...
But she was lucky.
There probably are many others kidnapped...
Baofu: Ah? Did I really kill 25 people, you ask?
Don't you mean 25 things?...
I have no inclination that I killed people.
Katsuya: An assassin helping the police...
That isn't a joke!
Katsuya: Sneak...There's no reason for us to trust him at all, but we honestly don't have any other leads...
Ulala: The guys sure like to argue, don't they?
At this rate, the problem is never going to be solved.
Baofu: Heh...so the cops are in on it too...
Not that I trusted them to begin with. I hope that wussie's finally waking up.
After meeting with Sneak, but before spreading the rumor and meeting Nate and Ellen.
Katsuya: Baofu, "aimed for brats" is too much...
Ms. Amano, the one involved in it, is right here... Don't worry about it, Ms. Amano.
Ulala: I know I've seen this person somewhere.
Ma-ya, was it at your magazine?
Baofu: Isn't Coolest a magazine geared at high school kids?... That means Serizawa is reading a book aimed for brats!?...
Katsuya: (sigh) Miss Serizawa gets pretty hot-headed.
I doubt we'll be able to talk her out of it, so I guess we have to try...
Ulala: Fine.
I'll show you how "Master Ulala" handles the media!
Baofu: Hey...You sure about this?
I have a bad feeling about this...
Katsuya: The secret to baking it puffy... Whip 'til stiff peaks form and mix swiftly... Oh, do not mind me. I'm just talking to myself...
Ulala: Haven't you taken advantage of our friendship enough since high school? Even on our double-date as seniors, you...
Baofu: Maya taking advantage of people, huh?
Hehehe... Well, if that's true, I should be more careful...
Katsuya: Liquor...I'm not that fond of it.
I used liquor a lot...just not for drinking.
Ulala: My father was weak against alcohol...
Both Mr. Suou and Baofu are big, so it looks like they can drink a lot!
Baofu: It takes a different stomach for alcohol. Body-size has nothing to do with how much you can drink. It's the acetaldehyde...
Katsuya: The two in the picture...
No one came up a match in our files. It seems there is no previous offense.
Ulala: I've seen this girl in the picture somewhere. You recognize her, Ma-ya?
Hmmm, who is she? A celebrity?
Baofu: We should look at that picture again.
You guys are just looking at the faces. There's a lot more information on it!
Katsuya: Father was...
...My father was...
Ulala: That Sneak person said something important to Mr. Suou, didn't he? ...Something about ending up just like his dad. What was that?
Baofu: Suou!
Talking to people about it won't solve it, right?
Baofu: Or, do you just want to tell someone to make yourself feel better? In that case, you're not taking life seriously at all!
Katsuya: It may not be safe to believe some unknown character. But he, Sneak, knows something!
Something that we don't...
Ulala: Hmm, can we really trust that person called "Sneak"?...I shouldn't really be talking, but that seems kind of careless...
Baofu: We couldn't get to the wire-puller chasing after the Joker this way regardless. Though it was dangerous, we at least got ahead.
Katsuya: Sneak, huh...
I know I've heard that voice before.
Who could it be...?
Ulala: Hey...are you doubting my plan too?
Come on! That's why we have rumors! The sun would set before we find them!
Baofu: A shadow organization...Why don't they be a little more specific? Are we really going to go trust that guy?
Directly after recruiting Nate/Ellen.
Katsuya: But, considering the information we have so far...the New World Order, no Tatsuzou, has been planning this all along...
Ulala: ...Still, that Nate's really something else. He's rich and quite a catch!!
You've got to go after men like that!
Baofu: If the other person is a Persona user, you can tell things about them by the Persona's resonance. But don't rely on that alone.
Baofu: An expert user can even control the resonance. Like him, you don't know what he's really thinking deep inside.
Baofu: Whether you trust me or not is up to you.
...I warned you.
Nate: Araya...Shrine...In the town I used to live in, there was a shrine with the same name...it couldn't be...
Nate: That's...Chunky.
A friend of mine from my St. Hermelin days. It's been a while since I've seen him.
Nate: The Persona is another self.
It is an existence that could be called one's worst enemy.
Nate: Those who cannot overcome themselves can be destroyed by the power of Persona. This...is what I learned from him.
Katsuya: We don't know who exactly "Sneak" is...
But we have our next clue. O-Of course we have Ms. Serizawa to thank for it.
Ulala: Heh heh. Operation: Rumor Control, is a success!...But if we spread the other one, what would've happened? Don't you wonder?
Baofu: But still...
I'm pretty damn surprised there would be anyone else who would go against Tatsuzou.
Nate: I heard from Ms. Serizawa...
She said Igor can bring back people who become Jokers...
Nate: At the Laboratory we are going to, there should be many victims there.
Depending on the situation...
Nate: By the way, what did you think about Igor?
The nose, correct? The nose bothered you? Hmm...Of course.
Katsuya: The invitation to the New World Order was targeted at the important people of the mass media and political fields.
Ulala: I don't really get it but, the Joker is just a Persona right?
What can you do by collecting it?
Baofu: Your problem is you would trust anyone.
Just because they appeared from rumors doesn't mean they're on your side.
Nate: I am surprised you are all Persona users.
As they say, birds of a feather.
Katsuya: Sneak...
Why does he know about my father...?
And that voice...I've heard it before.
Ulala: Huh? Are you asking if something happened at the bar? I-It's nothing.
I just put some effort into my acting...
Baofu: Damn...my chin's still shaking.
Women don't know leniency...
I should buy some pain killers.
Nate: Hmmm... So this is the new version...
Hit Point ♪
Recover...!? No, not again!?
Katsuya: They are young, but...they aren't that much younger than us, right? Um, not that I'm worried about my age or anything...
Ulala: That kid was talking about Tatsuya, right?...I guess he IS famous.
Baofu: Age doesn't differentiate kids and adults.
It's how they live. That's the question.
...But they're still too childish..
Nate: To make their own world in a place like this to enjoy, is indeed a childish act.
Katsuya: I come to places like this often because of my job, but I don't think much of them. I guess you feel different in other places.
Ulala: That kinda irritates me. It's like they're saying they live in a different world from us. Don't you think so Ma-ya?
Baofu: I bet people who were brought up well can't understand what's good about this place.
...If you listen, you can hear...
Baofu: Baseball game!? I forgot about it!
The S.F. Really-Big-guys are playing today!
Damn, and I've never missed one before...
Nate: Personally, I do not care for shops like this. But it's a good place to understand others.
Katsuya: Abducting people who've become Jokers...
Whatever their motives are, we cannot let them do as they want.
Ulala: That Nate is really something.
He's younger than me and he has so many lackeys?...Wow.
Baofu: I'm starting to think that the New World Order really isn't anything great if those richies can find stuff on them.
Nate: Baofu, perhaps it is not wise to judge the enemy so lightly?
Or are you judging me lightly?
Katsuya: I guess women dream of working glamorously. Well, if you're going to work hard, might as well have a brilliant job...
Ulala: Ellen's a model, right?
That's so cool. It looks like a fun job, but it's probably pretty tough.
Baofu: There aren't any easy jobs. Everybody has to work hard, you know? The only ones who make easy money are the bad guys.
Nate: Anyone who is not happy is always jealous of others. As they say, "The grass is always greener on the other side."
Katsuya: I can't blame you for not trusting the police. Just don't misunderstand...There are still police that won't abuse the law.
Ulala: So weird...Doesn't my life seem to be running backwards on life's highway?...I used to be just a regular office lady, why?
Baofu: When you believe in the media and police, you turn blind to things you normally see. If you notice, there's a big case going on.
Nate: Rumors coming true, it's still unbelievable.
Living in a reality like that, it would be impossible to realize that...
Nate: You plan to profit from gambling?...That is called the "peon's way of business."
It's too late after you become broke.
Nate: When I learned about Persona I was a student. My friend at the time made a bet, and he did the Persona ritual.
Katsuya: I heard from Ms. Serizawa that your boss seems to hate you.
Well, I can't talk about people either...
Ulala: Oh yeah.
I saw Ma-ya's boss at the bar. You don't get along with her, right?
Baofu: Sidewalk vendors used to sell pictures...
But now every place sells the same ol' kind of stuff...No originality.
Nate: Hmm...Any accessories with the number "1" on it...?
If there are, I will buy them...
Katsuya: Isn't that pale girl still a student? Should she be here at a time like this? It's not my department, but I should report this.
Nate: They used to say a fair complexion compensates for poor features...
They don't seem to anymore.
Katsuya: How many members of the New World Order are in the police department...?...Ch...
Even relatives can't be easily trusted.
Ulala: Why is Bao so skeptical? Did something bad happen after being tricked by someone?
Ah...but...that's the same with me.
Baofu: There's no proof that those two rich kids aren't members of the New World Order.
If they are...We're all screwed.
Nate: To find out if Guido is really alive, and save the captured people. And, if we could find out their plans, that would be perfect.
Katsuya: I never expected to become acquainted with somebody in the industry.
Katsuya: ...What do you mean, "Who"?...
You're basically a celebrity, right?
Ulala: Ellen's pictures are in fashion magazines and stuff, huh? I never thought I'd be friends with a real model.
Baofu: Serizawa seems to think of Kirishima as a friend, but what does she think?... There are people who quickly call others "friends".
Nate: This is Kismet Publishing... So what kind of publication is Ms. Amano involved with?
Nate: Coolest...?
My apologies, I've never heard of it.
Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: I would never have thought of using rumors to contact Mr. Nanjo and Ms. Kirishima.
Ms. Serizawa's ingenuity is simply amazing.
Ulala: See? My plan worked!
...What, Ma-ya? Is that the look of admiration? Oh, cut it out!
Baofu: Serizawa's plan is really something. A normal brain won't come up with that.
...But, is it really working?
Nate: Hmm, I haven't seen you in ages. I thought you were in college...
...Working part-time? Here?
Nate: So, you found us by manipulating rumors...
It reminds me of that one saying...
"A drowning man will clutch at straws."
Katsuya: I remember that the Sumaru PD had plans to use the Wang Long fortunes for murder investigation. Now that I think about it...
Ulala: Wang Long fortunes ARE true... Being a girl, I get curious about that stuff, even at a time like this... You understand, right?
Baofu: Hey hey, Wang Long fortune telling in such a situation?
...You're so carefree.
Nate: My guardian dragon is a moderate Silver Dragon. I don't think you can split people into 12 types, but... Anyhow, I'm a Silver Dragon.
Katsuya: M, Miss...Serizawa...?
She seemed very angry. Did something happen?
Ulala: Hmm, you're right, it's none of my business! I was a fool for asking!
I don't care about Baofu's past at all!!
Baofu: Ch...That Ulala is such a whiner...
How long does she plan on being upset!?
Nate: Do Baofu and Ms. Serizawa not get along?
Is it okay for bitter enemies to ride the same boat?
Katsuya: Oh, Ms. Amano, what's wrong?
M-Me?
I was just looking at the merchandise...
Ulala: Ahhh, that's a new one...
Did something happen with Mr. Suou?
Hey Ma-ya! Tell me!
Baofu: What!...
That Suou, turning red...
Amano, what did you do?
Nate: Sergeant Suou even makes that kind of a face...I thought he was an emotionless and unflappable guy...
Katsuya: Not many women can handle stalkers alone, like Ms. Kirishima can. The law must crack down on them, or else there'll be more victims.
Ulala: Huh, you've been stalked before? A middle-aged... naked man... running around... at night? ...Ma-ya, that's called "streaking".
Baofu: It's too bad for that stalker to target a Persona user... I guess if he had known, he wouldn't have in the first place.
Nate: I heard that Ellen was stalked before, but what is the motivation for stalkers?
Just the thrill of chasing after women?
Katsuya: The latest fashion seems to be rather racy...
But, isn't this slit a little TOO much?
...It could increase the crime rate!
Ulala: Mr. Suou dresses fancy himself, but he doesn't seem very familiar with women's fashion. Could he be a cop with a stylist?
Baofu: There are many shops of this kind, but all of the owners are antagonized by the customers. Only a small minority are fans.
Nate: What the? ...These are rather vulgar clothes.
Huh? ...They're popular? They have them in Lunarvale, too? I don't remember at all...
Nate: T...This is a room of a maiden...?
Even if you're busy with work...you should make arrangements for a good butler.
Katsuya: The information above doesn't filter down here. They must be controlling it...
...This should not be...not at this state...
Ulala: Ma-ya, you ever been on a "Wanted" list?
...Yeah right...
What was I thinking...
Baofu: It would be quick if I just bugged the Chief's office... This IS a police station. I wouldn't be able to get there.
Nate: It seems not all of the police are under New World Order control. There seems to be confusion amongst themselves, too.
Nate: A pirate flag...a "Jolly Roger"...
Others may see what we are doing as no different than what pirates do...
Katsuya: Mr. Nanjo is 21 years old, and Tatsuya is 18.
Only 3 years difference... But still, there's a gap as wide as heaven and hell...
Ulala: Doesn't that Nate look older than I do?
He's just too good...way too proper.
Baofu: You can't touch an angry woman, huh...
Or is that just Ulala?
Geez... I'm never playing that role again.
Nate: In the end, Fate is in Heaven's hands...
No matter what you use to predict with, the principle will not change.
Katsuya: Counseling, huh...I should bring Tatsuya here. Maybe then I could understand what he's thinking.
Ulala: Huh? Where's Mary?...
Where'd she go...Is today her day off?
You think she was caught by Joker hunters!?
Ulala: ...Yeah right.
She's not me.
Baofu: ...But still, this city's got a lot of Persona users. It's hell for a Persona-hater like me...
Nate: I see...Mary is working here...
...For better or for worse, it's like her to choose this. She's become strong...
Nate: N...?
Now that I think of it, does Ellen know about this?
Nate: Ugh...Sh, Shoot...!
Again...with the brainwashing...
I should have used earplugs!
Nate: Hit point...
...!? Th, This is bad...At this rate...
Recover...er...er...er...
Katsuya: You have good friends, Mr. Nanjo...
If only Tatsuya was like that...
Ulala: Another good-looking man?...
He looks good, all wild and stuff...
I want to take him down... I mean out!
Baofu: I can't play along with this friends crap.
Let's get going.
Nate: The red door is Mary in the 1st room, and the blue door is Chris in the 2nd...
Call them on the walkie-talkie.
Nate: We can't turn back once we head in. Are you ready?
Katsuya: A friendship that doesn't need words...
I envy Mr. Nanjo...
Ulala: We've known each other for awhile, too.
Well, relationships shouldn't be judged by a length of time.
Baofu: I'm not so sure about that...
In the end, humans are alone...
Nate: But Ellen did something she didn't need to.
I didn't contact them since they have a close connection with Guido...
Nate: They understand that, and they are probably enduring their will to go...
They are the ones that I acknowledge...
Katsuya: It seems that everyone here is "awkward"...
Awkward at living...
Ulala: To become an adult, you have to learn a bunch of dirty stuff...
Deceiving people, using people...
Ulala: To top things off, you end up lying to yourself, and never understand it all...
Baofu: Politics can't be suppressed by just fancy words...That's just what the people who look down on others say. I'm against that...
Nate: I just found out recently we bought out all the Sebec scientists and knowledge to team with the government for more research.
Nate: The system Guido made...the DVA system, as well as his other research, could be of incredible benefit, you know...
Nate: So, that's how we teamed with Tatsuzou.
Before we knew of the New World Order, we unwittingly helped them...
Nate: It's a foolish story...When I think of all the feelings of those who were involved, there's no way I could ever make it up...
Katsuya: Human experiments, huh...
Abduction, confinement, mistreatment, and homicide... Grave crimes indeed...
Katsuya: But then again, we are violating the law by intruding on private property...
Ulala: You're a softy, you know, but this guy's one, too...
Ulala: Alright, let The Big Sisters save his dumb friend!...
Baofu: (sigh) What a load we gotta carry. I'm not responsible for anything that happens...
Nate: I admire his feelings to save a friend...
You should always care for a friend.
Nate: We too have been through hard times due to that fairy... She seems to have grown a little, but her greed is just as before...
Katsuya: Normally, I wouldn't accept intervention by normal civilians...
But I guess it's fine for Persona users...
Ulala: Wow, this is gorgeous... So, this is the Hotel Pleiades' penthouse...
Rich people ARE different.
Baofu: Hey Amano...
What the hell did you tell me to say?...
What do you mean, cross-dressing!?
Baofu: Y, You...
Of course she'd get angry...
Nate: That laboratory has tight security. It's impossible to infiltrate from the ground.
But, there's a way in through the sewers.
Nate: Let's go to the sewage plant.
Ellen: I'm worried about Mr. Kandori, but if fortune telling is being used for evil, I can't let Wang Long Chizuru get by with it.
Katsuya: Narumi is really calm...
There aren't many accidents or crimes. It's a great place to live.
Ulala: We've been here before, huh? You know, the gourmet magazine guy told us about this place!...You don't remember?...Geez!!
Ulala: But still, Narumi has many sensible stores!...
Nate sure lives in a nice place.
Baofu: It's natural for Serizawa to like it here.
Narumi has developed over 10 years...
You can call it the "new face" of Sumaru.
Nate: No one has lived here for very long, so people like Ellen and I can act without suspicion. That is why I chose Narumi.
Katsuya: Despite their ages, Mr. Nanjo and Miss Kirishima have more experience than us...
We can learn from them.
Ulala: Nate and Ellen are also Persona users!
Are there that many in this world? I'm kind of disappointed.
Baofu: Wait, Suou! I'm the most experienced with Personas...
Shouldn't you learn from me?
Nate: Baofu? I don't think it's a matter of experience...You don't have to say it so triumphantly.
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa, I wish you wouldn't say things that could trigger a crime...
Don't tell me, you don't get it?
Ulala: Wow, such a beautiful necklace!! Look!
...You like it? Then buy it!! Can't you write it off as a business expense?
Baofu: Amano, forging business expenses and making unjustified claims is embezzlement...
Nate: This store has a nice variety of items.
But something is missing...
They should put a "1" in the center of it.
Katsuya: So, they're Persona users, too.
It's like they say, birds of a feather.
Ulala: Oh, yeah.
Nate and Ellen should already know about this place.
Baofu: That boy and that girl really know how to handle their Personas, even though they're younger than us.
Nate: I have used this place quite often.
Personas are useful not only in fighting, but in normal social settings as well.
Nate: My friend, who's become a salesman, uses his power to succeed in his career.
Now if only Chris was that clever...
Crashing Ginji Sasaki's seminar at Smile Mall.
Katsuya: To atone for his sin...
What is Tatsuya trying to do...?
Ulala: I can't believe that even the Wang Long fortune telling was part of their plan...
I'm so stupid to have been a believer...
Baofu: Why do you think the penthouse was attacked? They know where we are.
Even right now they may be watching us.
Baofu: I know we haven't done anything stupid like let them follow us. I can't imagine of anything besides that Sneak.
Nate: If I could have, I did not want to involve Mary or Chris...
Is Sebec still haunting us...?
Katsuya: They say that if you do not attend the seminars, you will eventually be possessed by the Joker...
Katsuya: They're way ahead of us. This makes it quite bad for us.
Tatsuzou...what are you planning to do next?
Ulala: We'll fight back with rumors, too.
We can say like, Wang Long Chizuru is a liar or there is no such thing as Kegare...
Ulala: ...or not...
Rumors like that aren't going to go far...
And besides, we don't have enough time.
Baofu: That Matsuoka guy's something. I'm surprised that there's a guy like that in this day and age. Perfect for that thickheaded rich boy.
Nate: It seems that Chris was able to escape safely. Still, even he is in this city...
Is this all mere coincidence?
Katsuya: I wonder if we caught what you have...
Lately, I've had deja vu as well. I feel that something happened at Smile Mall.
Ulala: Wasn't the NWO gathering Jokers?
That's why they're hunting for them...But aren't normal people going to the seminar?
Ulala: Oh yeah. They just need to get Kegare.
Huh? But what about the Joker?...
Oh geez...I have no clue.
Baofu: It's hard to compete if they keep using mass media to manipulate information...
The power of the media is troublesome.
Nate: Four years...since the Sebec scandal...
But, his time had stopped then.
And...mine as well.
Katsuya: They caused the fortune telling fad in order to spread the Joker curse and collect the power that resulted from it...
Ulala: Let's see...first they announced that people who do the Joker curse become Jokers.
So, I went through all that horrible stuff...
Ulala: And now, you'll become a Joker if you don't go to the seminar to be have your Kegare removed? There's just no escape from this.
Baofu: There's no such thing as an impure human...
But how much Kegare could you possibly get from just ordinary people?
Baofu: There's gotta be something behind it...
Not just to gather Kegare, but some other reason...
Nate: That Guido is undoubtedly the real one.
He remembers about our fight at Sebec, and about me. Then why...is he...
Katsuya: I think I'll believe that Sneak. But it's a fact that the information is leaking...
We had better not be tricked...
Ulala: Wasn't Ginji Sasaki the producer who became successful from his fortune? I read it was because of Wang Long.
Ulala: I heard that he's a producer for the group called "Muses". He's starting to become big.
Baofu: Even if we crashed one of the seminars, it's not going to change much...It'll be good if we can meet him somehow.
Nate: It's quite funny when you think about it.
I never imagined that I would go against Guido again with my old friends...
Katsuya: The people at the station seemed to be biased toward Kasugayama High School.
Katsuya: No, the biased ones were the adults who forgot what it was like to be young...
Ulala: Eikichi DID show up.
I'm relieved. It wouldn't have been good to keep everyone worried.
Baofu: The most reckless ones get misunderstood. Misfits just want to express themselves.
...There are adults like that, too, right?
Nate: I did judge Eikichi by his looks, and that was a big mistake...However I do wonder about his name "Michel".
Ulala: Damn, that Baofu pisses me off...
He calls me an idiot all the time!
Nate: Let's go now.
The guys are waiting for us.
Katsuya: What do the regulars come here for?
Her amusing tales?...Or the special menu?
No...that's nonsense.
Ulala: Ugh! What the heck?!
Look at this Ma-ya, "red bean dumplings"!
I've never even heard of that.
Baofu: "Banana ramen" and "red bean dumplings"?
They don't even have stuff like that in Hong Kong!
Nate: There are foods here I have never eaten.
Hmm, Japanese culture is truly diverse. I was getting tired of the same stuff...
Katsuya: I had a dream once where many incidents happened one after the other.
Could it have been a premonition?
Ulala: You know those dream diagnostics?
Isn't it like you dream the opposite of what's in your heart?...Or something.
Baofu: Suou had a dream where the police station was bombed. Maybe he wants to kill his boss?
Nate: Dreams could reflect reality.
I have had dreams where the Satomi Tadashi song was loved by everyone.
Katsuya: Tatsuya...Why...
Why won't you tell me anything!?
......What are you...
Ulala: Poor Nate.
It may be for his future, but at a time like that?
Baofu: I have a feeling that the New World Order is just manipulating us.
...We should act cautiously.
Nate: A power that resurrects the dead...Guido...
Does Kotodama hold such great power!?
Katsuya: There have been claims that this song has brainwashing effects. Maybe it needs to be investigated? But there's no time now.
Ulala: Original theme songs are kind of cool.
Let's start making our own, with our names! Woo-lala, U-lala... Whatcha think? ...Hey!!
Baofu: They say liquor and songs are inseparable...
But I still can't get into Karaoke.
Nate: Again...that chain store's music is...Ahh!
That song is stuck in my head!...Ms. Amano, do you have songs that stay in your head?
Katsuya: I asked a customer there, and until awhile ago, Tatsuya used to show up here often too. But, he hasn't been seen lately...
Ulala: Do the people here not watch TV?
How can they be playing around.
Baofu: Blackjack against a frickin' machine...
How dull.
Nate: I cannot get in the mood for casinos right now...I sacrificed many subordinates.
I was at fault.
Katsuya: If we take too long, even we will end up becoming Jokers...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
Shouldn't we stop that girl over there? Right? If she goes to that seminar...
Ulala: But, if we don't, she'll become a Joker. And I can't just ignore her either...
What should we do?
Baofu: That bastard Tatsuzou...He plans to steal the "sin" of the people in the city? S##T...!
What is his plan...I can't figure it out...
Nate: No man has a bigger ego than Guido.
At least I can't think of him as a leader of an organization. He is up to something...
Katsuya: But...even if collecting Kegare is possible, what are they going to use it for...What kind of power does it have?
Ulala: Must be able to get a lot of Kegare from that guy. Should we take him to the seminar?
Baofu: Even rumors become true. It's no surprise if people's kegare has some sort of power.
Nate: They realize our existence. The seminar must be the showing of their restlessness.
...Or maybe they don't even see us...
Katsuya: Is that...really Tatsuya...?
Like that girl said, he is almost like another person...What is he hiding?...
Ulala: It ends up we were saved by Tatsuya again.
He always shows up with perfect timing. But, he's sure not normal.
Ulala: The eyes say as much as the mouth...
That kid's eyes are just so painful...
Like he is carrying everyone's misery...
Ulala: Mr. Suou and Tatsuya...They seem to be opposites, but they're exactly alike when it comes to clumsiness.
Baofu: It's likely the work of the New World Order, but why did they kill the boy's underlings?
It wasn't needed if they were just watching.
Baofu: They wanted to get us away from there...
Or was it just to make their presence felt...
Or is it some kind of preparation...
Nate: Though not as much as Matsuoka, the subordinates are all decently trained...
To think of defeating all of them...
Nate: It seems...
We might have been underestimating them...
Katsuya: It's not like Baofu to judge someone solely on their words.
Katsuya: Could it be... that he thought only he was special?
Ulala: Is that Brad Uesugi!?...
So, the Uesugi who helped Ellen was the celebrity, Brad Uesugi.
Ulala: Hmmmm...
Baofu: Even someone like that can be a Persona user. I always thought it took a special talent or something.
Nate: ...Yes!! I knew the L.A. Doggers are the No. 1 team! Players, coaches, and owner... everything is first-class...
Nate: The nature of Persona... From those words, it may be hard to believe, but he was chosen by Philemon.
Katsuya: I would like to believe that "Sneak"...
It's easy to doubt, but then, you will never reach the truth...
Ulala: Ma-ya, you ever been on a "Wanted" list?
...Yeah right...
What was I thinking...
Baofu: Tapping only works against amateurs...
If they figure it out, I'm in danger instead. The enemy would call knowingly.
Baofu: It's a simple process of elimination...Who have we contacted?...Then, out of those, who is still unfamiliar to us?
Baofu: At this rate we're lagging behind.
Where the information leak is... That is what we gotta find out.
Nate: We disabled the security completely.
Guido knew that we were coming...
...The information has been leaking...
Katsuya: Was that...really Tatsuya... He had a Persona, and was skilled in movement...
He's so different from the one I know...
Ulala: I wonder why... I've felt that I've seen Tatsuya at GOLD before...
That can't be...
Ulala: The "Deja Vu Boy"...
I don't believe that it's not just for you, but for me as well...
Baofu: "Deja vu" is just the mind playing tricks...
It occurs when the brain confuses recent memories with past memories.
Baofu: That's why several people don't have one chance in a million to experience the same "deja vu".
Baofu: If that does happen, then it means it's something other than "deja vu'...I don't know what that something is, though.
Nate: That boy named Tatsuya... It seems that he is Sergeant Suou's younger brother.
A family of Persona users...
Katsuya: The penthouse incident...
Was that the work of Sneak...?
...But...
Ulala: Wang Long was a ploy...(sigh)... Why am I so easily duped? I have no luck...
Not just with men, but with fortunes, too.
Ulala: On some level or another, I was right to go along with you. Before, I would've cheerfully gone to the seminar.
Baofu: That Sneak may have leaked information to get us to find rich boy and rich girl.
Nate: People may question our methods, but everything has its useful purpose....
We have something we must protect.
Katsuya: Opening such a massive seminar, they must anticipate us coming too...
Ginji Sasaki may be the sacrifice.
Ulala: Nate and the others seem to be fighting in a different world.
The destiny of the past...huh.
Baofu: We still can't find the whereabouts of Tatsuzou. He might be at the seminar...
Where could he be preparing for it...
Nate: He was seriously going to kill Eikichi...
If that lad Tatsuya did not come in, Eikichi would have been dead...But...
Katsuya: Up until now, there could've been battles going on in places we didn't know about. Baofu probably knew this...
Ulala: After seeing that...
You kinda get the real sense that we're taking on a formidable group...
Baofu: There's no point in getting scared now?...
They already know our faces. Even if you run away, the results will be the same.
Nate: The enemy might have waited for us to leave for the lab before attacking the penthouse...If only I was there...
Katsuya: The consensus belief is that people are inherently good...I do believe that no one is born bad, but then again...
Katsuya: People always blame anything "bad" on other people or on their luck...I don't like that idea of "Kegare"...
Ulala: Uh...Detective, that was painful to hear...
A little fortune telling or cursing isn't that bad...No one's ever serious about it...
Baofu: I thought about it a little bit... As far as we know, what the New World Order wants most is "Kegare", right?...
Baofu: That's why they made Jokers by using rumors...Kegare is the dark side that humans conceal...Things like "sin" and "evil"...
Baofu: The easiest sin to understand is murder...
That's why they hunt Jokers, who are like this mass of Kegare...I know that much.
Baofu: But then why are they collecting Kegare of normal humans also? What about the "pure" humans? There must be something to it...
Nate: They say they don't believe in it, but yet, they inadvertently rely on fortunes and curses... That is what mankind does.
Nate: Man is not that strong. I do not deny that but I would think twice before I get too involved. That is the state of this city.
Ellen: "Kegare"...I hear it often in religion.
In other words, concepts such as "evil" or "ill fate" cause man to commit "sin".
Ellen: Committing a sin or the cause of bad luck is all because of Kegare...That's why there are still acts of purification.
Katsuya: I believe that looks matter too...Like desserts, you can enjoy what you see.
I'm not saying that looks are everything!
Ulala: That cocktail looks pretty...
I wonder if another drink looks better?
Baofu: A "pretty cocktail", huh... Why do women like pretty things so much?...
What matters is the inside, right?
Nate: That bartender says some good things. But it is difficult to be tolerant with everyone.
Katsuya: At this rate, New World Order will prevail! Is there a way for us to stop them?...
Are our actions...part of their plans?
Ulala: Huh? That lady with heavy make-up is saying something about "positive".
Is that your influence?
Baofu: Using the media to do the dirty work...
Not bad, New World Order...
It's scary to take on the public.
Nate: Being cautious is important, but deceiving yourself with good thoughts is sheer folly, is it not?...
Katsuya: Eikichi Mishina and...Jun Kashihara...
Both students of Kasu High School...
What are their connections with Tatsuya?
Ulala: That guy...Eikichi, wasn't it? It seems like he has some ties with Tatsuya...
Odd how they don't know each other...
Baofu: Why is Suou's brother fighting the New World Order? Even if he had a good reason, there is no need to fight alone.
Nate: That lad...Suou, wasn't it?...
I should have been like him...
It is enough just for me to be hurt.
Katsuya: Even if we stopped the Smile Mall seminars, that's just the tip of the iceburg. We need to go further...
Ulala: Kegare, huh... What is the New World Order trying to do by collecting that stuff?
I don't like not knowing that.
Baofu: They know our actions. Those seminars might be trapped too...We've gotta make the first move to find out.
Nate: Igor...
Is he talking about Guido...
The second meeting with Sneak at Aoba Park.
Ulala: Wang Long's no good, so maybe I'll pray here in true traditional Japanese style...
For a special encounter...
Baofu: Resonance?
They seem dormant...but are those kids Persona users as well?
Nate: A mysterious case linked to Guido and Personas...Perhaps it is not a coincidence that Araya Shrine is here.
Ulala: Hey...this one's giving me a dirty look.
I'm gonna eat ya!
Baofu: What the hell is Ulala doing?
Has she gone nuts?
Nate: We cannot expect results from just crushing one of the seminars...I wonder how many people have been brainwashed already...
Ulala: Don't ya think there have been a lot of people who've experienced deja vu lately?
A coincidence? I kinda doubt that...
Baofu: That Ginji Sasaki had eyes like that woman over there.
I guess she's already been brainwashed...
Nate: Not only do those joining in the seminar get their Kegare divested, but they are also brainwashed to obey the New World Order.
Nate: Brainwashing... How peculiar...
I have a feeling something simlar to this has happened before...
Ulala: Oh, it's another world here.
I feel so relaxed! I felt so sick after seeing that ooze.
Ulala: Just thinking that stuff is running through me...
Ugh...it's disgusting...
Baofu: Sasaki was able to use the Joker Persona because of the ooze put in him...
Kegare creates Personas, huh...
Nate: They must be holding seminars in other places as well. I am hoping our information we spread will keep people away from them...
Ulala: Why are they all like, "let's be positive" just from being brainwashed?
It's like tons of Ma-yas running around!
Baofu: If they can brainwash so many at once...
How long would it take to brainwash everyone in Sumaru City?
Nate: A device that takes human evil...Without Guido, it would not have been completed.
But I didn't know they made more...
Ulala: At first glance this place looks dirty, but if you look carefully, it's kind of clean.
Ulala: I'd like to make my room like this too, what do you think?
Huh, Ma-ya?
Baofu: Hehhehheh.
Amano, that must be pain to your ears, eh?
Your guys' room...is way too dirty.
Nate: Even if it is pretty, if it looks dirty, wouldn't it be a problem?...
Well, it's better than really being dirty.
Ulala: The Shiraishi lady looks like she's living so freely. She must really be enjoying life.
Baofu: Will you just be killed? Or die fighting?
We live in a world where we're given the freedom to accept fate or go against it.
Nate: There are those who would rather be restricted, saying it's easier to be restricted than to be given freedom.
Ulala: There's people who were purified here too.
I guess everyone's scared.
Baofu: At a time like this, it might be beter to be brainwashed instead. They all look happy...Not that I'd want that!
Nate: Life is full of both joy and pain.
And humans are humans because they possess "Kegare". That's what I think.
Ulala: So Sneak is a traitor and Mr. Suou is acting on his own. Neither of them are well sorted out...
Baofu: Even if you hang out together, your goals and mentalities are all different. Can't blame Suou. What's most important is yourself.
Nate: Concording lodgings, discording dreams.
Disorder cannot be helped among a group of different individuals...
Ulala: Hey, everybody is using hard words!!
Ahh, what should we do Ma-ya? We should say something too.
Ulala: Ummm...Molecular Disrupt Assault!!
Come on, Ma-ya, say something! What? Hyper Atomic Counter!? ...Doh!
Baofu: Disappointed in Suou, huh...That's so like Nate. Well to him it was certainly a one in a million chance.
Nate: To my regret, I have to admit I am slightly disappointed in Sergeant Suou's actions.
"Proceed prudently"...Undoubtedly keen words.
Ulala: Casino at a time like this, that's Ma-ya for you. Anytime, anywhere, "Let's be positive!"...I can't lose either!
Ulala: Let's see...
Which game will I play today...
I shall become a millionaire!
Baofu: Is this the time to be playing at a casino?
I feel I just saw the connection between you and Ulala...
Nate: In a hard battle, occasional relaxation can be understandable...
However! Discretion is an important factor.
Ulala: If that girl who talks like a ninja would work at a Japanese restaurant, it would suit her well...Like the Gatten Sushi.
Baofu: Well...What to do now...
It would be much easier if we could just find out where Tatsuzou is...
Nate: Being like this reminds of old times...
There are not all good memories either...
Ulala: All the accessories here are rip offs of some other place.
How can they get away with this...?
Baofu: The point up until crashing the seminar was well-done, but wasn't there a better way? My best suit is all dirty.
Nate: Turns out the only one that was at Smile Mall was Ginji Sasaki... And he is just a follower of the New World Order...
Nate: Could it have been that the entire seminar was a decoy...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, that Aki dude asked me to go out with him for a meal...
He wishes...!
Baofu: Ulala's bad habit is she can't ignore someone who angers her. It's just a matter of time before she gets taken again.
Nate: I was surprised when returning to Japan, to see so many tan women now. Are they putting something on their faces?...
Ulala: Mmm?
A candy that is not fattening...? It still has rather high calories...
Ulala: Huh...you don't worry much about these things.
How do you eat so much and not get fat?... Does your stomach have a hole in it?
Baofu: Is it true that if you drink a lot of milk, it makes it harder to get drunk?
I never tried it or anything...
Nate: We should buy a lot of medicine.
If we run out on the way, we are just targets for Trish...
Ulala: Being honest with yourself is good...
Well, being a nuisance isn't good, though.
Baofu: (Sigh)...Suou is so blunt.
He's so blunt, it's embarrassing to watch...
Well, I guess that's his good trait.
Nate: Sergeant Suou's actions were expected.
As long as one is human, being ruled by emotions cannot be helped sometimes...
Ulala: You can't trust a person named "Sneak", can you? I wonder if Mr. Suou really trusts that person?
Baofu: There's less room for opinion in a big organization. I wouldn't be surprised if someone betrayed New World Order...Maybe?
Nate: "Sneak"...the name of a coward...He must do more harm than good for them, since he speaks of himself as a coward, right?
Ulala: Mr. Suou went alone, but I wonder if it's a trap...I think it is.
Baofu: Serizawa, if you think it's a trap, don't suggest chasing Suou!
...I don't want any trouble, you hear me?
Nate: Regardless of the situation, I think it is too dangerous to use the same location for the rendezvous.
Ulala: Mr. Matsuoka... never changes his expression.
I wonder if he's good at poker?
Baofu: Does he intend to make Nate into some Samurai General?
Baofu: Not every elite leader can use a subordinate's life effectively.
Nate: Please do not worry about Matsuoka. This was my decision...
To never commit the same mistake again.
Ulala: Giving information on New World Order is okay, but won't the media twist it?
Baofu: I expect New World to control information.
Well, if somebody broadcasts the truth, the public won't buy the information...I think.
Nate: Bad news travels fast, I see...
Unfavorable news for the New World Order certainly is more appealing to people.
Ulala: The people who attended the purification seminar say the same kind of thing... I wonder why?
Baofu: "Positive" seems to be the buzzword, but all they are doing is just saying it. It doesn't look like they are doing it.
Nate: They say "positive", but they are really just acting out New World Order plans.
Who would believe that kind of delusion?
Ulala: Ginji Sasaki was in the New World Order also.
So, is Muses part of the New World Order too!?
Baofu: If they had pop music groups under their command, they'd be using that. They can gather many more people than that producer.
Baofu: ...Serizawa jumps to conclusions too fast.
Nate: If they had used Muses as a magnet, they should have been able to get any youth with a slight interest, regardless of their Kegare.
Ulala: (sigh)...
And I just took out the trash...
It's not easy separating the recyclables!
Baofu: It seems that there are no taps here...
...Hmm?...What am I doing?...
Force of habit, I guess...
Nate: Ms. Serizawa was grumbling that she always has to clean the house.
...Is that true?
Ulala: Give me ¥100, woof
Give me ¥100, woof.
...How's that, Ma-ya, do I sound like him?
Baofu: If they're gonna put out warrants, why don't they try going after bigger fish.
Should I put up a picture of Tatsuzou?
Nate: What is wrong with Ms. Serizawa?...
She has been staring at that dog statue all day. She must like it very much...
Ulala: Is that barkeeper even looking at us?
I can't even tell if his eyes are open...
Baofu: You know the..."Goumaden"?
You see, it was on that model ship on the counter...
Nate: Hmm?...
Is this flag real?
Where did he get such an item?
Ulala: Is it okay to believe in this place?
There was that incident with Wang Long...
Shouldn't we be a little more careful?
Baofu: Like God, I don't believe in fortunes either. Do whatever you want, but don't waste too much cash.
Nate: Lately, people lack the courage to decide for themselves, and rely on fortunes for their life decisions.
Ulala: See, Ma-ya.
That guy's also acting strange...
I wonder if he went to some seminar.
Baofu: That's the purified figure that New World Order talked about?...Don't kid me...
Tatsuya Sudou looked more sane than that.
Nate: It is impossible to heal the people who have been brainwashed, without recovering the Kegare extracted from them.
Ulala: Really, Satomi Tadashi is always the same. Even the owners are the same...
I get confused which ward I'm in...
Baofu: It's fine that they sell a bunch of stuff, but don't buy anything we don't need. I don't want to become the baggage boy.
Nate: I'll sing along..."La-la-la...
Hit point...If you're gonna recover...
...Use ointment...La-la-la"
Nate: ...!?
(ahem)...(ahem)...
Do you want something?
Nate: L...Lately pharmacies have had a large selection.
R...Really, I am most impressed.
Ulala: Is tapping really that enjoyable?
Is it like reading someone else's diary?...
But, that's kind of wrong...
Baofu: ...Geez...I wish these guys would cut it out.
Nate: Invasion of privacy is not acceptable and neither is disclosing it. I don't know why people reveal their diaries on the net.
Ellen: Speaking of tapping, some of the models said a stalker set tapping devices in their rooms. Could it be that Baofu helped...!?
Baofu: Hell no!
My targets are only ones with a dark rumor.
Baofu: I'd never help a weenie little stalker!
Ulala: That strange man by the window, he looks suspicious...
Should we report him to Detective Suou?
Ulala: ...He's not here right now, though.
Baofu: Changing people by rumors?...
Conjuring people by rumors?...
That strange man is the latter.
Nate: One who holds many fortunes will be doubted by many...
It cannot be helped.
Ulala: Those who receive absolution think they are impure, right?...
What are they basing that off of?
Baofu: Because people have a sense of guilt, they automatically have a fear toward Kegare, right?...
Nate: Attending the seminar to cleanse oneself of sin...It is analogous to buying a ticket of innocence.
Ulala: Do dependable women have an advantage?
(sigh)...I look after people too much...
I think I've lost much...
Baofu: ...Needy women? Is Serizawa saing that while looking at that woman there? Anyway I look at it, that is vicious extorsion.
Nate: Gains and losses meaning profit?
Ms. Amano, does love have gains and losses?
And, what can be gained!?...Puzzled?
Ulala: Mr. Suou is normally very calm, but he really gets intense when it's about that Sneak.
Baofu: Sneak, eh...
Won't show himself and won't tell us who he is. How can you trust someone like that?
Nate: Matsuoka has connections in the media. We can count on him to publicize the information about the New World Order.
Directly after Aoba, before Baofu intercepts the phone call between Yung Pao and Tatsuzou.
Katsuya: I used to see children playing here often...but not anymore. I suppose people no longer care about the old things.
Katsuya: Sneak...
I knew I'd heard that voice before...
Why didn't I realize it right away!
Katsuya: If we carelessly destroy the Kegare machine, we'll just end up like Ginji Sasaki...
How can we return the Kegare to the people?
Katsuya: I just...wanted to find out the truth.
...I don't hate the Chief.
Katsuya: No matter what, he is only human. Humans can make mistakes...
But how far can the law punish a person...
Katsuya: Cleaning is basic to the sales business. It's not like you use your own rooms to do business, so as long as it's fairly neat.
Katsuya: The ability to choose how to live your life is precious. Everyone has that freedom in some way...This nation is truly peaceful.
Katsuya: Brainwashing disguised as purification...
It's most devious to use fear to control people...It's unforgivable.
Katsuya: ...I put precedence on personal issues.
I apologize.
Katsuya: ...I am sorry. It wasn't the actions of someone who is dedicated selflessly.
I am very regretful.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, I understand that you are upset right now, but escaping reality is not going to solve anything.
Katsuya: That girl's been brainwashed too...
We must do something in a hurry. There is going to be more victims.
Katsuya: To think even the Captain was a member of the New World Order...It's no wonder the murder cases were not getting resolved...
Katsuya: By the way, I forgot to thank you. If Miss Amano and everyone hadn't come along, I probably would have been defeated.
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa told me...What does she mean by "having a hole" in the stomach?
Could you swallow swords then?
Katsuya: I have been blind to myself...
I have nothing to say.
Katsuya: The top of this TV station is linked to New World Order. Even the truth behind the Chief's death will be misinterpreted.
Ulala: The information that the Chief risked his life over is all going in the New World Order's favor... That's so sad.
Baofu: Not just here, but all media will report the New World Order's advantage...
Are there any TRUE journalists out there?
Nate: The New World Order information operation does not end in this country. They have already expanded it worldwide.
Nate: So far we have discovered 11 countries...
In each country, the New World Order is somehow involved in the government press.
Katsuya: The chief was father's best friend, and yet, he betrayed him...
What am I to say to father?
Ulala: Mr. Suou looks troubled.
It must be even more difficult since I'm not involved.
Baofu: There's no use in hiding it now.
Isn't that why nothing was said, because even Suou's pops knew?
Nate: That police chief must've been a weak soul.
This wouldn't have happened if he realized beforehand that he couldn't be a villain...
Katsuya: If my father wasn't involved, Tatsuya wouldn't have been the way he is now.
Katsuya: ...Father, me, Tatsuya... We were all involved in the New World Order's plan.
Ulala: Mr. Suou's brother seems to know a lot, but do you think he knows about his father as well?
Baofu: Can you imagine how many people fell victim to the New World Order? Don't think we're the only ones.
Nate: Men are expected to exceed their fathers. Regardless of the truth, the confrontation of that boy and his father was inevitable.
Katsuya: Mr. Nanjo's decision...
Not many men at that age can carry others' lives on their shoulders like that.
Katsuya: For the chief to put his life at stake and have the result end this way...
Ulala: Our actions backfired...
(Sigh)...How disappointing.
Baofu: Damn, we got toasted...
Forget it, let's think of our next move.
Nate: So the information manipulation was part of their plan. It seems that they are a step ahead of us.
Katsuya: They claim to purify and attempt to instill New World Order beliefs on people. But aren't they just doing what they've been taught?
Katsuya: Even if the top people are New World Order members, it doesn't mean the others are...
You know what I mean?
Katsuya: I understand you're into your work, but think about what you're willing to give up.
You don't live to work.
Katsuya: I reported the Chief and Captain to our allies. There may still be traitors, but I can't let this go unreported.
Katsuya: Thinking about it, I haven't settled down at a cafe and had coffee for years...
Well, I don't have time for that now...
Katsuya: Fortune telling itself was a foundation of New World Order. We can't do anything now with the power of fortune telling.
Katsuya: That New World Order seems to have different values than us. As criminals, they are the very ill-natured type.
Katsuya: Lately, there has been a lot of teens shoplifting. These stores are easy prety.
...What is the world coming to.
Katsuya: Breaking the law breeds criminals, minor or not. One mistake can shape their lives.
By then it's too late...
Katsuya: It's not like "suspicious" means criminal in every case. Suspicious people always end up becoming the topics of rumors.
Katsuya: Even if they didn't do anything, many people get nervous when they see a cop.
Does everyone have some sort of secret?
Katsuya: Vicious extorsion?...
Hmm, I suspect it could be blackmail. Where? Are they in this store!?
Katsuya: It is a crime to break a law...But I believe the Chief was civil. There are feelings that can't be explained by logic alone...
Ulala: I kinda feel bad for the Chief. I mean, he's been living with guilt, and then it turns out he was just being used by them...
Baofu: No matter who it is, I respect any person who tries to do something even if it costs them their life...Didn't expect that, huh?
Nate: I cannot believe that they had meant for us to publicize the information...
The Chief must be turning in his grave...
After Baofu intercepts the phone call and separates from the party to go to the abandoned factory.
Katsuya: We shouldn't have spread that rumor about the New World Order...
They were one step ahead of us!
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
Do you think it was a mistake that we spread the stuff about the New World Order...
Nate: On the way here, I saw something that looked like a cave...Could it be Mt. Iwato of Araya...?
Katsuya: If we stir up chaos here, that'll be just how they want it. Isn't there anything we can do...
Ulala: That boss is really manly! It'd be nice if everyone in the city was like that...or would that be too loud?
Nate: That boy named Eikichi seems to be the boss' son...but it looks like he hasn't returned home yet...
Katsuya: The impure humans will be destroyed by the New World Order... So they want to be purified...? Why are they such followers?
Ulala: I've had episodes of deja vu lately, too...
...But it's kinda different...It feels like I'm about to remember something.
Nate: ...That proprietor...
He calls himself a Count...
Something bothers me about him.
Katsuya: I can't believe the information the Chief risked his life to spread turned out to help their plan...
Ulala: Hey, Ma-ya...
Sorry to bring up an old subject, but...it bothers me...
Ulala: Why do rumors become reality? I was thinking about it myself...
It must be the cause of everything.
Nate: The end of the world caused by Wang Long...
And the Torifune...
This is the rumor the Chief spread...
Nate: It is true that the information we spread has increased their credibility.
...How careless of us!
Katsuya: The Nanjo information network is amazing. They've spread the Torifune story so quickly...
Ulala: Oh my...
They're all talking about the Torifune here too? What should we do?
Nate: World destruction because of Wang Long...Ameno Torifune...these aren't things that normal people would believe.
Nate: The events that the New World Order caused served as a stepping stone for this information manipulation. We're such fools!
Katsuya: Trust, friendship...
Tatsuya must have friends as well...
Why does he choose to be all by himself...?
Ulala: It's nice having high school friends. They say THAT friendship lasts the looooongest! Ma-ya and I have known each other awhile!
Nate: ...My dream? I don't have any dreams.
To become number one in this country is a reality that I must accomplish.
Katsuya: The prophecy of the end, like the Grand Cross not long ago, really affects people psychologically...It creates uneasiness.
Ulala: Everyone must be worried at a time like this. I'm an adult, so I can just drink it all away, but...
Ulala: In that sense, adults are unfair!
What about the poor kids who can't drink? Poor things...
Nate: Ellen says we have ideals about mystic things. If you believe that, there must be those enjoying this situation right now.
Katsuya: There are 2 reasons to drink. To enjoy the act itself, and to escape reality.
...I wonder what's Baofu's reason?
Ulala: (sigh) I just want to get away from it all.
Maybe I should have a drink...Wait, if I rely on alcohol, I'll be the same as Bao!
Nate: Drinking to escape reality...It's foolish.
You must overcome reality to reach the future. Don't you think so?
Katsuya: This broadcast after the Joker case.
As long as people are uneasy, people will believe in anything.
Ulala: How dumb to fall into the enemy's trap. But I wish nobody would believe that rumor.
Then the NWO plans would fail, right?
Nate: There is no use regretting that we fell into the New World Order's trap.
We must think of what to do next.
Katsuya: We may be the cause, but New World Order are the ones who set it up to be that way.
...We have no time to be feeling down.
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
This is all New World Order's fault, right?
It's not...our fault, right?
Nate: Is it the trickster's or the victim's fault?
It all depends on which side one takes. No one wants to admit their faults.
Katsuya: I don't expect you to follow my orders...but...just don't over exert yourself.
Ulala: (sigh)...
I was doing so good at bingo...
I shouldn't have betted on red...
Nate: For one to accomplish one's goal...strong luck is also needed...
Some training here may be beneficial.
Katsuya: Why does...Tatsuya always show up everywhere before us...?
We will have to catch him and ask him.
Ulala: Why does everything we do turn out to be the opposite!?...Urrr!...That does it!
Ma-ya, want to pig-out? Let's pig-out!
Nate: Please stop Ms. Serizawa. For us to lose our cool at times like this, is exactly what they want.
Katsuya: How much time does it take for a rumor to come true? It is unlikely for the Torifune to just suddenly start moving.
Ulala: If we didn't stick our nose into this, the city never would of went into panic...?
Tell me I'm wrong.
Nate: If this much information is passed through, New World Order's plan is successful...
In that case...their next plan is...
Katsuya: After all, even though we fight, our reasons are all different...
...Well...maybe it's only natural.
Ulala: Hmm...A "whitening" course.
Isn't this a tanning salon? How do they "whiten" you?
Nate: But...Even for recovery purposes, I feel uncomfortable coming in here. I have no desire to tan my skin for looks...
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa's stress affects her stomach.
Well, the situation is only getting worse... I know the feeling.
Ulala: Owwwwwww...
My stomach is starting to hurt... Pass the pink bottle...
Nate: Is there a CD that has this song?
I...mean...
Not that I really want it or anything...
Katsuya: Lately there have been so many cases, the people in the city must be unsure. Thus, a basis of belief in New World Order is done.
Ulala: The TV station and magazines believe the New World Order's stories and then pass it to the people, so this makes it credible?
Nate: We may have missed the fact that the world is constantly changing. Perpetual change...
This outcome could have been predicted.
Katsuya: How long was the New World Order planning such a thing...?
Did we underestimate our enemy?
Ulala: A normal person would not think of making the Sumaru city float in the sky...
Can that really be done?
Nate: So, a plan exceeding one's existing values...
Anyways, such an idea can only strike a big shot. Tatsuzou Sudou must be quite...
Katsuya: Is it possible that the New World Order is manipulating information on the net!?
They must be... It was a blind spot.
Ulala: Ma-ya, it seems like the New World Order rumor is the big news on the net...
What are we gonna do?
Nate: I would assume that the New World Order has already manipulated the information over the net... so that everybody would talk about it.
Katsuya: Mr. Matsuoka isn't to blame...
All of us, the Chief, everyone, is being played by the New World Order...
Ulala: That's what Mr. Matsuoka says, but all he really did was follow our orders to spread the information... It's really our fault.
Nate: Matsuoka isn't just a marionette.
As someone following orders, he did make a mistake.
Katsuya: There may be voices of doubt to this news, but few will listen as it is. We must wait until everybody settles down.
Ulala: Hmmm, I don't get good vibes. Do you think the New World Order will give us a chance to calm down?
Nate: Not even confirming the truth of the news, and increasing their insecurity under the dark clouds...Are humans this foolish?
Katsuya: This chaos could have been prevented...
I'm ashamed of myself for being a powerless officer.
Ulala: Mr. Suou says how he's powerless, but there are New World Order members in the police too. It's not his fault.
Nate: Why would anyone trust in the New World Order's impractical theories?
...This is exactly what they wanted.
Katsuya: Hmm? He hinted that he did the Joker curse... At least he didn't get abducted to the lab.
Ulala: What the...! That guy is getting his Kegare purified. He must have been very worried to go to that fishy seminar.
Nate: New World Order is skilled in treachery. That may be necessary to lead such a large group, but I despise such ways!
Katsuya: I'm sorry, but I read that...piece...
"The Dream of the Rumored Student"...
I wonder what dream he had...
Ulala: It doesn't really matter, but the walls are too thin. I can hear next door.
Nate: The veranda is beautiful...
Why don't you try gardening? Be...(cough)...more domestic...(cough)
Katsuya: At the least, I ask them to be prepared. There are orders from above to stand by...
But there's no problem with being ready.
Ulala: That Bao...
Is he okay by himself?
I-It's not like I'm worried about him...
Nate: Law and Justice... They do not necessarily coincide with each other. Which will the sergeant choose in the end?
Katsuya: Both him and I are essentially the same...
Carry the past and live in the present...
But he's not someone you can handle alone.
Ulala: That brother that Tatsuzou acquitted...
Was that Yung Pao's brother?
Nate: Are you well-equipped?
There is something that I am worried about. Act very cautiously when we arrive.
Katsuya: Baofu is not foolish enough to go in alone. He's most likely waiting for us to get there.
Ulala: What kind of connection do Bao and Yung Pao have from their past? Bao seems to hate him really bad...
Nate: Yung Pao's roles were the murders and the Joker-hunts. If this is to make the circulation of information a success, then...
Katsuya: According to the people of the city, a couple of suspicious-looking cars went in the abandoned factory. Probably Yung Pao...
Ulala: Psychotherapy...
Well, there ARE feelings that you can't hold back, even if you understand them.
Ulala: I wonder if people have to reply on others even to handle their own hearts...
Is that why you can't live on your own...?
Nate: Mary was also one who could not suppress her heart...She aspired for this career because she knows the hardships of it.
Katsuya: ......
I'm sorry, but buy a lot of supplies... It's going to get troublesome.
Ulala: In general, Bao's actually pretty rash. I know it's a chance...But this isn't something he can do on his own, right?
Nate: Sergeant has figured it out...
Of course the same should go for Baofu...
...Maybe he...
Katsuya: Mr. Nanjo...There's something I would like you to check... Check his...and...
Ulala: Ma-ya, he just went alone...! It's too dangerous alone...We've got to go after him! The factory is just behind our place!
Nate: Baofu's...and...?
I understand...I will try...
Ellen: Pole shift...
That thing where the earth's axis will spin 90 degrees...?
Ellen: If that happens the whole world will rain for days...floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes...Every kind of disaster...
Ellen: And unless they are airborne, most people won't survive...How could they use the Wang Long for such a thing...
Katsuya: A chance to capture Tatsuzou Sudou...
Is that what Baofu really thinks?
Ulala: What went down with Bao and that assassin? He doesn't bother to tell us, so I don't have a clue.
Nate: Baofu and Tatsuzou Sudou...
I do not know what went on between them, but that call was most likely...
Katsuya: Continually keeping one's cool...
They don't call him "The Waiter from Hell" for nothing.
Ulala: Everyone else is in a panic, but this waiter is still calm...
Good men are different, I guess.
Nate: I do not think this waiter's calm comes just from the rumors. He most likely has the ways of a professional.
Katsuya: Everyone has a past they don't want talked about, right?...
Baofu has a past...That's all.
Ulala: That Bao, complaining so much about Detective Suou, but he's doing the same...
What a troubled guy.
Nate: That phone we tapped earlier...
There must be something behind it. Let us hurry, Ms. Amano!
Katsuya: Just like they wanted, the rumors about the Torifune and the end of the world spread throughout the city...they're finally ready...
Ulala: We're pretty lucky we were able to tap the line with such good timing...
I wonder if Bao's okay...
Nate: For now, please keep your equipment ready for what may come. I will leave the rest to Sergeant.
After the factory, boarding the Nichirinmaru and heading for the Undersea Ruins.
Baofu: My work doesn't end until I finish things off with Tatsuzou. I'll still stick around for awhile.
Baofu: We might be the same as that fish in the tank...
...That sucks.
Baofu: After all, people who only know peace do not have the will to protect their lives.
They've even forgotten the death's reality.
Baofu: I wouldn't say it's bad. 'Cause there's nothing better than peace.
But, it's true that it caused this situation.
Baofu: The New World Order's plans are based on meticulous calculations and such. But without rumors, they're nothing.
Baofu: They're just depending on the power of rumors. So then...the New World Order isn't involved in making rumors come true.
Baofu: No matter what kind of reality the rumors can create, we just have to get them directly. Right?
Baofu: Don't get too involved with others. That makes the pain of losing them even worse.
Baofu: I bet there are those who are overwhelmed by fear. I guess...I'd be trying to escape it by drinking.
Baofu: The reason why I drink? I don't have a reason. As they say, "There isn't a god who wouldn't drink wine." ...Right?
Baofu: You know how they offer wine to the gods anywhere in the world? Even gods drink.
Thus it's natural for people to drink.
Baofu: So the Wang Long fortune telling and stuff were all in preparation for them.
...They got us this time.
Baofu: I understand how Ulala feels, but we're the cause of the confusion.
They were just one step ahead of us.
Baofu: Hmph...
I'm not in the mood to play right now. Do it on your own.
Baofu: Even the strongest liquors...go down like water at times.
Especially...at times like this...
Baofu: In Tatsuzou's view, both Yung Pao and us are no longer useful. It seems that their preparation is ready.
Baofu: Something's not right...The tin-plated doll we saw at the factory. I feel I've seen a thing like it before...I must be imagining.
Baofu: I promised Yung Pao...I'll finish Tatsuzou myself.
...I always keep my promises.
Baofu: While we're here just changing items, they're using rumors to turn something big into reality... Damn, that pisses me off!
Baofu: I admit we didn't take the New World Order seriously, but such an outrageous plan is beyond the imagination.
Baofu: People on the net generally tend to like rumors. Nobody will leave such a hot topic alone.
Baofu: This chaos isn't anyone's fault...
Even if we didn't spread the information, someone else was set to.
Baofu: It probably even says so in their plan book.
Baofu: A situation where everybody believes this ridiculous news. Is New World Order wise for making the foundation? I'm mortified.
Baofu: One wise man nullifies ten thousand fools...
There's more who can't understand the information correctly than those who can.
Baofu: There's this many people who have been brainwashed? The New World Order is gathering Kegare smoothly, then...
Baofu: I wonder what she would say if she saw me now...Hmph...She'd bellow at me at how conceited I am. I know she would...
Katsuya: I am now, and I forever will be, a public servant for the government. That is what I decided.
Ulala: Mr. Suou is pretty trusted in here...
Charisma detective, huh?
Baofu: Hmph, it seems that Suou is suited for being a detective...
No wonder I don't get along with him.
Nate: People with pride and commitment will always gain the ability to lead. Just as Police Sergeant Suou did.
Katsuya: The things that the New World Order uses, the Kegare machine, that robot...
It's just so unreal...
Ulala: "Saga"...huh.
It sounds weird if I change it now... I'll stick with "Bao".
Baofu: To continue staying with me after knowing that I used you guys as a decoy...
You guys are all wussies... Geez...
Nate: Sergeant Suou may have felt a similarity with Baofu.
At least, that is how I perceived it.
Katsuya: Let me say that I have no intention of letting Baofu kill Tatsuzou.
The law will judge him...not us.
Ulala: I think that in the end, Bao and Detective Suou make a great duo. They're so opposite.
Baofu: Ch, the wuss is still trying to only arrest?
...Geez.. That stupid lunk head...
Nate: Hmmmm...If you add Sergeant Suou and Baofu, then divvy them up, it may work out well.
Katsuya: You can't atone for your sins with another sin. It just brings further unhappiness. I will not let that happen in front of me.
Ulala: I can't believe he killed him after he was done using him! I've lived a long time, but I've never seen such a villain as Tatsuzou!
Baofu: Tatsuzou is a scum who even views his own son as a toy.. And that wuss is telling me not to kill him?...Ain't gonna happen.
Nate: I am not following Guido to kill him...
Just...to find out his true intentions.
Katsuya: Miss Serizawa was angry at me saying, "If you knew it was a trap, tell me!"...
W-Well, this is the way things turn out...
Ulala: Was I the only one who didn't figure out it was a trap?...Geez, you guys are mean.
Why didn't you tell me!
Baofu: Hmph... I never thought that wuss would have rich boy investigate me...
Touche...
Nate: Everyone has a past they want to keep secret. To investigate that makes me feel ill at ease.
Katsuya: I was hesitant to research someone's past, but it was an issue of trusting Baofu...I mean, Saga. It couldn't be helped.
Ulala: Baofu's real name is Kaoru, huh? And he is still holding on to memories of a woman from the past... I see.
Baofu: What is it, Amano?...
You want to tell me something too? Spare me the gloomy stuff, alright?
Nate: Not knowing sorrow is the same as not knowing pleasure...
Baofu... He knows that too well.
Ellen: I felt anger and sorrow from Baofu's Persona. It had something to do with the death of a person...
Katsuya: A Civil Defense Force with that weaponry...
Why would those weapons be needed in the first place?
Ulala: Bao dashed at full speed for his partner. And it was a girl!...For a GIRL, ya hear!? Oh, geez...
Baofu: What the hell is Serizawa talking about? A partner is a partner, right?
Nothing more...Nothing less.
Nate: That human-model tank was already finished. Assuming that Matsuoka did not report it, it must have been developed overseas...
Baofu: Hey Maya, try to picture this...
A flustering waiter, Soejima...How's that?...He's struggling? Funny, huh?
Katsuya: Feelings that can't be held back...
That leads to crime, but we're human... I can't say much about others.
Ulala: I know that there's been a lot in the past, but has Bao thought anything over?...
I see no change in him though.
Baofu: Even if there are traps, you press onward with your beliefs. That's the true man...
Women and children can't understand.
Nate: Investigating one's private life did hold me back, but I did have doubts about Baofu's true nature...
Katsuya: The Tien Tao Lien Affair...It was suspected there was lots of cash going from the Mafia to the Minister of Justice then, Tatsuzou...
Katsuya: Saga was investigating that, and they tried to kill him in an "accident" that ended up killing his partner, Ms. Asai...
Katsuya: I would imagine that Saga's Persona awakened then, and only he was saved...
And that might be why he hates Personas...
Ulala: Kaoru Saga...public prosecutor...
What in the world could've happened to him?
Baofu: Miki...the one who killed you is dead...
Just wait...there's only one more left...
Nate: Come to think of it, I have not seen that lad, Tatsuya, since then.
Where could he be now...?
Katsuya: Tatsuya...what makes you this way? Why won't you tell us what's going on...?
Am I that lousy of a brother...?
Ulala: That Tatsuya is unbelievable.
He came all the way here by himself...
Baofu: You saw a submarine go down before, right?
There was another one just like it...
Baofu: I don't know if Tatsuzou's on it, but that's the only way to go after him...
Nate: An Aegis vessel made to look like a cruise ship...how stupid... No sense of money...
Katsuya: That shrine-like thing...Don't you think there is something about it?
Who was inside it..?
Ulala: Ma-ya, remember that party? It was on a cruise ship just like this...
Ulala: A ship is a ship, but I never thought I would have to go on a ship like this...
Baofu: Looks like they were plotting something evil here...You just wait...Tatsuzou...
Nate: The combination of modern technology and sorcery is where New World Order excels.
How fanciful for them...
Katsuya: I'm sorry, Ms. Amano...
He's not really like that... Please forgive him...
Ulala: I've never seen Tatsuya so angry...
Baofu: The kid pushed himself too hard...
Baofu: Tatsuzou escaped, but we can't just let those guys heading towards the ruins go...
Amano, let's look for a way to go after them.
Nate: Seems painful...hard to watch...
Katsuya: No one's here now...
Tatsuya must have gone inside...
Ulala: Say...did these ruins appear because of rumors too...or has it been here?...
I don't know what's real or not anymore.
Baofu: He must have done this.
What a punk...
Baofu: And to top it off, he's smart as well... He's destroyed their only way out.
He's got some mad skills...
Nate: I can feel it...Guido is here...
Nate: Young boy...He's a dangerous man...
Don't get ahead of yourself...
Once Tatsuya starts tagging along with the party, but before completing Mount Iwato.
Katsuya: Now Mt. Iwato of Araya...
What is Tatsuya trying to do?
Ulala: Did you hear what that old woman said?
Looks like something happened here.
Baofu: What's wrong? You look pale.
Deja vu again?
Tatsuya: If you go to Mt. Iwato of Araya...You will be able to know all. In exchange for the precious time of the present.
Nate: It appears that Suou's purpose is to make you realize...or rather remember something, Ms. Amano.
Nate: Do you have any ideas?
I am interested, since I've gotten involved in all this.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano...are we trying to find out what we do not need to know...?
Katsuya: Is that the case...with Tatsuya...?
Ulala: What should we do, Ma-ya?
I kinda have a feeling... It might be better if we didn't go...
Baofu: Showing people's pasts...
You've gotta be kiddin' me...
Nate: Iwato...Araya Shrine... Those were from Lunarvale, but this is my first visit...
Katsuya: Friendship that knows no boundaries...
It was good to have seen it...
Ulala: Best friends are really great...
It's always better to have one true friend than ten "fake" ones...
Baofu: Promises huh...
Stupid stuff I didn't need to see...
Nate: So I might've gone off track...
Again, it is you who opened my eyes... What a truly great man you are...
Katsuya: This is nonsense! This isn't the "Twilight Zone"!
Ulala: What the heck is going on!? I just don't get it!!
Baofu: Hey...you gotta be kidding me...
Nate: A different reality...Is he from a parallel dimension!? But, I doubt the boy is lying...
Tatsuya: There she is... The money-hungry fairy...
Even on "This Side" she's still the same...
Katsuya: "Him"...?
Who could he be talking about...?
Ulala: Okay, so Ma-ya is still Ma-ya, right!? We've known each other since high school!
Baofu: The Joker was in another world as well...
What exactly happened on the "Other Side"...
Nate: So you're saying it's the same as Mary...
I want to think that it's not possible...
Katsuya: The being that stands opposite to Philemon...?
The archetype of existential destruction...?
Katsuya: If such a thing does exist, it is well beyond our comprehension...
The shadow of mankind...
Ulala: There's a boss behind the New World Order...?
And that guy's in each and every one of us!?
Baofu: The ideal-collecting Masquerade, and the Kegare-collecting New World Order, huh...
Serizawa's right, the situations are similar...
Nate: Nyarlathotep...!?
It wasn't merely Guido's Persona?
Katsuya: Tatsuya was really surprised when he saw this Gatten Sushi...
I wonder why?
Ulala: Hey, Joe! How're you doing?
You look yummy... I'm gonna eat ya whole!
Baofu: Ulala's doing that again? What does she plan to do naming that fish in the tank for?
Tatsuya: W-Why is the Gatten Sushi shop here in Rengedai...
Wasn't it in Hirasaka...?
Nate: So...Chris has left. I wanted to tell him about Guido myself, but...
I am sure we shall meet again.
Katsuya: Araya Shrine...
When we were little I used to bring him there for the festivals.
Katsuya: But that was a long time ago...
All these years he never mentioned the name of that shrine...
Ulala: Tatsuya...
Looks like he's finally about to talk but...
What is he going to do at a shrine?
Baofu: I'm concerned about Tatsuya too but, as we speak the NWO's plans are already set in motion. There's no time to screw around.
Tatsuya: The people of the city are starting to be affected as well...
There's no time to lose.
Nate: Guido's words... Was he trying to discover something of Tatsuya? Or, did he want to entrust him with something...
Katsuya: ...Tatsuya seems so different...
It's not like we got along great, but something feels different.
Ulala: Just between you and me...both Nate and Tatsuya don't look younger than us. I guess they've been through a lot?
Baofu: Smells soothe people's hearts, huh...
It might be true. Right now, I believe it.
Tatsuya: Guido...
Was he trying to tell me something...?
Nate: No matter who it is, it is painful to see their death twice...
Nate: Guido...
This time, veritably, farewell.
Katsuya: As you grow up, even brothers get issues they don't want to discuss with each other. But there is something unusual about him.
Ulala: I wonder why Tatsuya avoids you so much, Ma-ya? Do you think it's his way of showing affection?
Ulala: Oh...sorry.
I'm just kidding.
Baofu: They seem to have special regards for Tatsuya...
Why is that...
Tatsuya: ......
Please...just leave me alone...
Nate: Tatsuya's eyes remind me of him... Guido's eyes...
...I don't know why I feel that way...
Katsuya: I haven't told our parents about Tatsuya. It's impossible! How could I describe a situation like this?
Ulala: Tatsuya is still in high school right? But look at those sad eyes. Even an adult can't make an expression like that!
Baofu: ...Amano...
Do you have any intention of listening to Tatsuya's story? We have no business here!
Tatsuya: ...Th, this is!?
Ahh, it's been awhile.
Nate: ...Suou is feeling extreme longing for this place. What happened here before?
Katsuya: What is Tatsuya going to tell us? Why do we need to go to a place like that?
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, have you ever been to where Tatsuya mentioned? I wonder why it has to be there?
Baofu: What's up with Nate? Is something bothering him?
Tatsuya: ...Let's go to Araya Shrine.
I promise I will tell everything there.
Nate: ...Araya Shrine...?
It must be just a coincidence.
Katsuya: ...Tatsuya.
Ulala: Oh, what's up with those faces? Smile! C'mon! (sigh)
...I guess it's not the time for that.
Baofu: Hmm? Don't look so worried. You're ready to hear his story, right? You'll be alright. We're all with you.
Tatsuya: ...There should be no need to come here.
Are you not ready to hear what I have to say yet?
Nate: Your face looks a little pale...
Are you okay, Ms. Amano?
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, are you alright?
You should get treated.
Ulala: Ma-ya, does your back hurt? Let's get it fixed and go.
Baofu: What's wrong, Maya? Your brain's no good?
Hehehe, you should get that fixed.
Tatsuya: ...There's nothing wrong with me.
Nate: Is there something wrong, Ms. Amano?
Did you come here for something?
Katsuya: Tatsuya...Why do you avoid me?
What happened that I don't know about!?
Ulala: You say he's blitzed out of his mind?...
Yeah, it's not very convincing coming from a drunken middle-aged man.
Baofu: During adolescence, one is always in their own little world...He's probably intoxicated over a little misery.
Tatsuya: ...I am not the Tatsuya that you know.
And you...aren't the person I know.
Nate: Tatsuya...
One of my friends... Had the same presence...
Katsuya: Before, Tatsuya would have frequently come here...
But now...what has happened to him?
Ulala: Tatsuya looks so serious.
Uh...maybe I shouldn't be playing...
I should limit myself...
Baofu: Games nowadays are all machines...
So damn cheap...
Tatsuya: As we speak, the world is headed towards destruction...
I should...do this alone...
Nate: I am in no mood to play.
Please let me be for now.
Katsuya: We are brothers after all. We can understand each other to an extent...
What is Tatsuya afraid of...?
Ulala: Mmm?... Tatsuya knows that kid?
Maybe he's kind of well-known.
Baofu: A strange kid. Can't tell what he's thinking even when I try to sympathize.
He has a subconscious mind barrier...
Tatsuya: I see...Chikalin is a rumormonger even on This Side...
Nate: I heard from Sergeant Suou, that he was Ms. Smith's student.
...Such a coincidence...
Katsuya: Punishment...
That damn Tatsuzou... Does he think he is a god or something...
Ulala: Tatsuzou gets away... The seal gets released...
Always at the last moment...
Baofu: That brat knows something we don't.
I hope that will be a clue about them...
Tatsuya: Promise me...
In exchange for me explaining everything, you will stay away from this case...
Nate: That boy's mind seems to be heavily set on only Ms. Amano... But...It's not like they are acquaintances, right?
Katsuya: But why is Tatsuya after Tatsuzou...?
Does he know about father?... Or is there some other reason...?
Ulala: Tatsuya must be either very powerful or very reckless. I mean, would anyone normal think of fighting those guys all alone?
Baofu: The reason for that kid chasing Tatsuzou seems to be different than that of Suou's. Of course, it's just a hunch...
Tatsuya: I wished...
When we met at Seventh... You would of forgotten the entire thing...
Nate: Sometimes, I confuse Suou for Guido and vice versa...
...I wonder why...?
Katsuya: I don't really know Tatsuya's friends...
But I believe he was acquainted with that Anna girl.
Ulala: Tatsuya just told me about a good diet food. He knows someone who knows a lot about that kind of stuff!
Baofu: When I think about it, that kid seems a lot like Suou.
Guess they're brothers after all...
Tatsuya: A non-fattening candy...huh.
She wanted it.
Nate: Where did Tatsuya learn to use his Persona so well...One must have a certain amount of experience to become like that.
Katsuya: Ms. Amano...
Let's hurry...
Ulala: It makes it seem like those Deja Vu Boy days were such a long time ago...
It wasn't really that long ago.
Baofu: Don't be so hasty...
He's finally ready to explain. Let's listen to the whole story... Alright?
Tatsuya: ...Right now... there is nothing to say.
Nate: Relative judgment decides true value...
Whether Suou's secret is important or not can't be decided until we talk to him.
Katsuya: I don't think this is the time to be sitting around, either...
Ulala: Maya, Tatsuya is finally ready to speak...
Should we really be taking our time...?
Baofu: This time around, I agree with Suou...
Look at the kid's face... We gotta get rid of all the pain...
Tatsuya: ......
Nate: Ms. Amano, I think we'd better hurry...
Katsuya: Impossible!!...
A normal high school student shouldn't have any business here!
Ulala: Is that kid reminiscing? He looks like he's been here before...So, he must've been here at the time of the Joker rumor.
Baofu: That Suou talks as if he knows all about his younger brother, but, isn't that ignorant? Besides, he's not normal, right?
Tatsuya: This place...It's really changed.
Nate: That man Suou seems as if he does not want to talk here...
Let us make haste onward...
Katsuya: ...Why?
Why is Tatsuya avoiding me?
Ulala: Looks like he's hiding something that relates to you, Ma-ya.
...Maybe deja vu does exist.
Baofu: That brat, is he really gonna talk?
...Well, I guess he's not the type to lie.
Tatsuya: The truth cannot be obtained here.
Let's go...
Nate: I think our paths are about to diverge.
...No, I just felt that way, for some reason.
Katsuya: Originally it was Tatsuya who started the rumor about the anti-Joker emblem, right?...
Has Ms. Serizawa forgotten that?
Ulala: What the!?... He knew this place became a weapon store through rumors!
He even knew that rumors become true.
Baofu: A kid souldn't be in a place like this...
UNLESS... he wants to be a cool guy like me. But, you are still not gonna get to drink!
Tatsuya: This... is a place that became a weapon shop through rumors.
Nate: Ms. Amano, he is still a minor. I do not feel it wise to bring him to this kind of establishment... NO, I'm not being tense!
Katsuya: What is it, Ms. Amano?...
Did you also want to say something about my savings?
Ulala: Mr. Suou, you really worked hard.
Saving money for your brother... Most wouldn't be able to do it!?
Baofu: Nobody saves money for family these days.
Geez, you're a fish out of water, even though your GQ looks are "in"...Right?
Tatsuya: ...Leave me alone.
Nate: He is not only a cop with intelligence... He also values family and has tenacity...
Sergeant Suou, you are admirable.
Katsuya: I can understand the way Tatsuya feels.
How about it, Ms. Amano? We should get going...
Ulala: Damn that Bao!!
What does he mean by "Maybe Serizawa..."!!
Baofu: Maybe Serizawa... But why do you want to get pretty? You're already pretty enough.
So it doesn't have to be right now, eh?
Tatsuya: ...What am I supposed to do here?
Nate: Beauty spa at a time like this?
It's great that you try to be your best, but it doesn't have to be now...
Katsuya: Clothing, friends, use of money... These are the signs of delinquency...
Tatsuya, are you really alright!?
Ulala: Ahahahaha! That's so funny.
Mr. Suou said "delinquency"... No one still uses that expression, do they?
Baofu: I thought this store's items were pretty flashy, but Tatsuya's outfit... A nice, simple design, that... IS flashy...
Tatsuya: I have no business here...
What's wrong with the way I'm dressed now?
Nate: ...You seem to be taking your time, Ms. Amano. Are you not worried about that kid's story?
Katsuya: What's wrong with Tatsuya?...
He hasn't been saying anything... Does he feel alright?
Ulala: Hey Ma0ya, have you ever let Tatsuya in your room before now? You haven't, right?
How is he so familiar with your room...?
Baofu: That Serizawa...telling me that there's no smoking in this room...what's up with that when she's the one smoking in the room.
Tatsuya: It's the same in this world...
Nate: That young lad is speechless...
Was this room just too much for him?
Katsuya: It is most dangerous to cause panic now. It might be better if we have everyone in the station go out to the city...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, has Tatsuya ever been "Wanted"?
Sorry...Something's wrong with me...
Baofu: You don't plan to interrogate him, do you?
He says he'll talk... Just do what he says.
Tatsuya: I see...
Since Tatsuya Sudou isn't here, this place is alright...
Nate: Come to think of it, was there not a fire here in the past?
What is this...this feeling of wrongness?
Katsuya: I still have a bevy of questions to ask Tatsuya...
This isn't the time to be drinking tea...
Ulala: U...g...h...
I'm sick of the ocean... It feels like this store is rocking...
Baofu: That kid is just as edgy as his brother. He ignored me when I called him.
Tatsuya: That man named Guido knew it... His existence... About me...
Knowing that he...
Nate: Did Guido actually know from the beginning that it was going to turn out like this...
That we would arrive as well...?
Katsuya: I wonder when it was Tatsuya became like that... Well...it's partly my fault for not teaching him otherwise...
Ulala: Why does Tatsuya try to dodge us so much? Tatsuya is Detective Suou's brother, right?
I just don't know...
Baofu: What's wrong? Aren't we going to listen to what the kid's gotta say?...
We don't need to have a fortune told.
Tatsuya: That fortune teller...
She was a rumormonger on the Other Side... So she's not on This Side...
Nate: Keystone...I should have investigated into Wang Long more...That way, I might have been able to protect the other seals...
Katsuya: Did you tell Miss Sonomura about the Undersea Ruins?...
If you haven't, do so please.
Ulala: That Guido...
I didn't understand him until the end... But that's the same for Tatsuya...
Baofu: I really can't get used to this atmosphere... First off, I feel out of place here.
I don't know about everyone else, though...
Tatsuya: Guido is aware of his existence. But why is he aiding the New World Order...?
Can it be he's willing to be a pawn...?
Nate: Miss Amano, could you report about Guido to Mary...
Katsuya: Lately many women wear contacts instead of glasses...
I thought about it, but...
Ulala: Hmmmmmm...
What color do kids today like... Maybe I should ask Tatsuya?
Baofu: They don't have any medicine for men...
I tend to use that more often.
Tatsuya: Health foods...
Speaking of which, I wonder if Yuki is still worrying about it...?
Nate: Hmmm...
The guitar version is pretty good as well. That is Satomi Tadashi for you...
Katsuya: ...Yes, Ms. Amano? Tatsuya?
...He tells me nothing. I wonder what Tatsuya is hiding from us.
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, are you okay? You look so pale!
Is it because Tatsuya is hiding something?
Baofu: Hmm... I wonder what Suou's little brother is hiding... I'm curious about it.
Tatsuya: ...The answers are at Araya Shrine.
Nate: Is Baofu really going to pull out of this incident?
Nate: Whatever Suou's reason for fighting is, I cannot quit after coming this far.
Ellen: What is it that Tatsuya knows? The nervous face he makes when he is asked about it... Ms. Amano, any ideas?
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, let's hurry...
I want to hear what Tatsuya has to say!
Ulala: I didn't know that there was such a place underwater. Maybe Atlantis does exist!
...!! Did you find any treasure!?
Baofu: Heh heh heh, that's Serizawa for ya...
But that kid seems to be looking beyond... I bet he'd know what happened to Atlantis.
Tatsuya: It's dangerous here...
We have no time for side trips.
Nate: He certainly is looking beyond...
What is he seeing that we cannot?
Katsuya: How could he denounce someone's private life in public...
Baofu! That's slanderous!!
Ulala: Mr. Suou, you were saving money for your brother, right? How much have you saved?
Hahaha... (sigh)
Baofu: He's saving money. So, 3 years or less of service, imprisonment, or a ¥500000 fine? You hurt by THAT, Suou?...
Tatsuya: What my brother... is trying to do has nothing to do with the me over on the "Other Side"...
Nate: All I did was investigate Mr. Suou's life. That is what Baofu requested...
It is not like I just looked that up.
Katsuya: I don't believe dragons exist, but as far as energy moving underground, I'm sold...
Is that because I'm ignorant?
Ulala: Wasn't that guy Kandori involved in a larger scandal? He's such a villain...
But, he was different from others.
Baofu: Keystones holding dragons...Megalith cultures of the world are probably the same...The Ley Line may be the same, too.
Tatsuya: Kandori...Is that man the same as...as me?
Nate: Guido...He might have just been playing the role given to him...
Katsuya: Perhaps that Kandori still had something left to do...but I don't know how Tatsuya is related though.
Ulala: I just can't understand that Guido. He's our enemy but he gave us weird advice. And then he just died...
Baofu: So they'll even resurrect the dead to get what they want...those bastards...
Tatsuya: Igor and them should know...
About the "Other Side", and...about me...
Nate: Guido...I thought you were not a fool who drowns in his own ambition and ability...
Or are you telling me to walk out of here...
Once Tatsuya joins for real after the Mount Iwato infodump.
Katsuya: He's been fighting all this time by himself...It must have been hard...
......
Baofu: I knew he was a wussie. Suou gets moved too easily.
He needs to grow up...
Tatsuya: This is where we first met Maya...
Where it all started...The focal point that divides the two realities.
Katsuya: That Saga...I appreciate that he persuaded Tatsuya to stay, but he didn't have to blab about my savings...
Ulala: You must be puzzled Ma-ya. I mean, you're dead on the Other Side. ...Well...You might not have any feeling of reality, though.
Baofu: Heh heh heh, looks like Suou's pretty upset.
It's called "an eye for an eye"...
Tatsuya: Maya.
Do you remember that this is Eikichi's house? Eikichi...he's not here...
Katsuya: The one who stabbed Ms. Amano in the Other Side... She was that teacher at Seventh...
Different world, different person...
Ulala: A parallel world...
I always thought it happened in books and movies, but...
Baofu: The incident that happened on the "Other Side"... So the guy that was behind it is behind this one as well...
Tatsuya: By you remembering everything, the distortion between the two realities had to have grown larger...We have no time...
Katsuya: Your friends from then are just strangers in "This Side"...
It's a trying battle.
Ulala: Oh, I'm jealous of you, Ma-ya.
I wish I had someone who cared about me as much as Tatsuya cares for you.
Ulala: Oops... I shouldn't be jealous or else I'll become a Joker again, huh?
Hahahaha
Baofu: The boy is his brother and also a stranger from another world at the same time.
He must be perplexed...
Tatsuya: Natural Pheromone...
PheromaXX...huh...
Katsuya: Tatsuya from another world...
Either way, he is my younger brother. I won't act differently towards him.
Katsuya: The same voice, the same look...
How could I believe that he's not my brother?
Ulala: That even makes ME blush.
I think you're pretty fortunate, Ma-ya.
Baofu: The Paradox...and the "Other Side"...
I get it. Now I understand what they were saying.
Tatsuya: ...If Jun and Eikichi regain their memory, this world will cease to exist...
I can't let that happen!
Katsuya: Explaining the truth to them, wouldn't help them understand...Even we have a hard time understanding.
Ulala: Eikichi wasn't uninvolved.
...But, we have to let it alone for now.
Baofu: They must have...a counterpart on the "Other Side" as well. Probably not much different though.
Tatsuya: A live house...
I haven't touched a guitar for awhile.
Tatsuya: This is...the first place we met the Joker. Not the same Joker from "This Side"...
I'm talking about my...our friend.
Katsuya: I'm sure it's not as if only this shop is different from the "Other Side". Maybe he just hasn't noticed everything else.
Ulala: So can only Tatsuya know the difference between here and the "Other Side"?
...Ah, can you tell too, Ma-ya?
Baofu: So this shop differs on the "Other Side".
He doesn't have to be that shocked, does he?
Tatsuya: ...Why?...This place is different from the "Other Side"...
Too different!
Katsuya: I see, so we will be riding for free.
...Just this one time, I'll let it slide.
Ulala: We get to the Torifune by that subway, right?...Does that mean we're the first people to ride on it?
Baofu: Don't we have to pay to get on the subway? Should we buy tickets?
...Hey Ulala, go buy tickets!
Tatsuya: If Brother is going to close his eyes, maybe I should imitate him.
...Heh.
Katsuya: Who knew Tatsuya thought of you so much...?
But the Tatsuya from the "Other Side" isn't my brother...But Tatsuya's my brother?
Ulala: Isn't Tatsuya heroic...
What about you, Ma-ya? It's not like you don't appreciate it, right?
Baofu: Even if you can do anything you put your mind to, it's still an insane idea to change the world.
Baofu: How lucky you are as a woman to have a man love you that much.
Tatsuya: ...Everyone likes worthless subjects.
This isn't the time for that.
Katsuya: The "Other Side" doesn't seem so different, but there probably exists a world that is.
Ulala: Hmm, I wonder if Satomi Tadashi was popular on the "Other Side" too?
Hey Ma-ya, let's ask.
Baofu: Back in my school days, I used to read a lot of science fiction novels...
Parallel world...Brings back memories.
Tatsuya: Satomi Tadashi...?
I'm not sure if it was popular, but I did go there often.
Katsuya: I bet you enjoyed gambling on the "Other Side" too...
I don't have to ask Tatsuya to tell.
Ulala: You're quite amazing, being able to gamble after hearing a story like that.
Well...so am I but...
Baofu: It may be just me, but I can't get in the mood to gamble against a machine.
...Except for maybe slot machines.
Tatsuya: Even now, this world is slowly extinguishing...
We can't waste any time.
Katsuya: Judging from that, it seems Tatsuya and I are not on great terms over on the "Other Side" either...
Ulala: But I wonder...
What am I like on the "Other Side"? Maybe I was a celebrity?
Baofu: The Other World... The Other Self...
Either way, probably a useless fellow.
Tatsuya: I see...
Even on This Side she talks like a ninja... I guess it can't be helped.
Katsuya: I feel I finally understand what Kandori was talking about...
...A huge shadow...
Ulala: Ma-ya has it tough on This Side, but even on the "Other Side" Ma-ya had it tough...
I feel sorry for her.
Baofu: It doesn't resolve anything just to know who the enemy is.
From now on is the real hard part.
Tatsuya: Even now...
I am breaking a promise with important friends...Please leave me alone...
Katsuya: Deja vu is proof that the balance between the two worlds is skewed. And it's continuing to get worse.
Ulala: Isn't Tatsuya's body on This Side although his consciousness is of the Other Side?
So Tatsuya's consciousness is dormant here?
Baofu: With things like this happening, it's just a matter of time before the citizens remember the "Other Side". We must hurry.
Tatsuya: This world is definitely headed towards destruction just as the Other Side is.
That must be stopped, no matter the cost!
Katsuya: I see...
Even strangers on "This Side" could be the best of friends on the "Other Side"...
Ulala: Tatsuya just told me about a good diet food. He knows someone who knows a lot about that kind of stuff!
Tatsuya: In actuality, I have no right to exist here.
I understand that...
Katsuya: I don't know the exact difference, but the Tatsuya there is apparently different from the Tatsuya that I know...
Katsuya: ...I still can't believe it.
Ulala: So the deja vu was the memory from another world. Then, any misunderstandings could've been from the other world, too?
Baofu: The "Other Side" isn't so different after all. Well, I'm sure there's a completely different world out there somewhere too.
Tatsuya: This hasn't changed...There is no difference from the "Other Side".
Katsuya: It is still hard for me to believe. But Tatsuya would never lie to me... Even if it's Tatsuya from the "Other Side"!
Ulala: Everyone is so positive and adaptive. I'm just barely keeping up...
At times, I still feel like it's a dream.
Baofu: To think there was such a secret in this world. I can understand why Tatsuya is called the Paradox...
Tatsuya: Just as they say, I am the Paradox.
That's why... I don't get involved much with the people from "This Side"...
Katsuya: Tatsuya and those guys must've been using this place on the Other Side like us...
However, with a difference of 900 Yen.
Ulala: ¥100 on the Other Side? That damn Nekomata! Thinking we don't know better!!
Huh, is it possibly Tammy's suggestion!?...
Baofu: Uhhuuuuuh, even on the "Other Side"...
This ol' man is suspicious too...Could he already be aware about Tatsuya?
Tatsuya: The rumor was manipulated even on the Other Side. Although I was helped in many other ways, I bet they wouldn't know me...
Tatsuya: But, are prices higher on "This Side"?...
That Lucky Cat asked for only 100 on the "Other Side"...
Katsuya: What's the matter, Ms. Amano?
...Tatsuya is talking...strange? Huh? What's so strange about it?
Ulala: I see, New World Order is the only difference with the "Other Side".
Hey, that's a BIG difference, Tatsuya!!
Baofu: Are you making an ass out of adults, Tatsuya? That's a BIG discrepancy.
You're not... an airhead, are you!?
Tatsuya: There's not much difference between the two worlds. If anything... I guess the existence of the New World Order.
Katsuya: Why did Tatsuya say such a thing to Baofu? Hmmm, I don't get it.
Ulala: Why is Bao getting so worked up? Maybe it was a sore subject for him...
Baofu: That Tatsuya, acting like he knows what it's like to be adult.
Tatsuya: Baofu, you...drink to forget about your dreams?
Baofu: Hey Tatsuya, speaking like you understand the adult world...
Baofu: Listen. A dream that can be forgotten through liquor isn't an important one.
...Do ya understand kid!?
Tatsuya: ...Heh.
Baofu: The hell you laughing at!!?
Baofu: Hey Suou, arrest your damn brother!
...For what? For insulting an adult!
Katsuya: Why didn't you discuss everything with me?
...Tatsuya...
Ulala: Wow, Bao finally got to the point... I guess he understands young people.
But, I feel sorry for Mr. Suou.
Baofu: For an adolescent, friends and lovers are more important than family...
Why don't you understand that?
Tatsuya: Maya, Katsuya, I didn't want to involve either of you...I should not have involved anyone...
Katsuya: I don't care about liquor... I just hope police on the "Other Side" are not corrupt.
Ulala: Even at a time like this, it's liquor, liquor, liquor... What a dope. I like liquor too, but... Is that all he can talk about!?
Baofu: I don't know about the "Other Side" world, but there is liquor there too, right?
...Then, it can't be a bad place. Yep.
Tatsuya: Everyone's curious about the other world...
It's not that different from this one.
Katsuya: The ancient history boom is the act of the New World Order... If all is being done to make rumors true, they can't be searching things.
Katsuya: ...It wouldn't be a surprise if they didn't notice the cave in Mt. Iwato.
Ulala: Mt. Iwato did have a cave after all.
Ma-ya knew all along... Oh, of course you would, you remember the "Other Side".
Baofu: How can they talk about history booms and not know about the cave in Mt. Iwato?
...Seems obvious by investigating the city.
Tatsuya: That cave was different on the "Other Side" as well... Of course...
Because there is no Masquerade here...
Katsuya: It seems that on the "Other Side", this room is the same...
Just look at Tatsuya.
Ulala: Come to think of it Ma-ya, you haven't cleaned the entryway, yet!...And you're the one who suggested taking turns!
Baofu: What's with the mountain of canned crab in the fridge? You gonna eat all that?
...Hmm?...Whaddaya mean, "don't look"?
Tatsuya: ...Actually, I never planned to come back here again...
...EVER...
Katsuya: I can't get all sentimental now...
If what Tatsuya said is true, then the world is disappearing as we speak.
Ulala: They ARE brothers... Tatsuya is similar to Big Suou.
Steadily...
Baofu: It would be nice if we could settle this before the Torifune starts moving...
But will we make it...
Tatsuya: Since the rumor has spread this much, the Torifune should already have appeared underneath this city. He can do that.
Katsuya: Another Tatsuya...huh.
He really didn't talk much before, so... I still don't have the feeling of reality.
Ulala: I wonder if Tatsuya likes you, Ma-ya... Or is it...a different feeling?
Hmmm... Adolescent boys are complicated.
Baofu: Geez, he's got a face like he's carrying all the world's unhappiness on his back...
Well, I guess it's justifiable.
Tatsuya: He created those ruins...
And the Torifune is most likely already...
Katsuya: Miss Serizawa...I don't mind what you call me, but... Don't you think that... "Big Suou" is a bit too informal...?
Ulala: Tatsuya Suou and Katsuya Suou... The Suou Brothers...That's kinda confusing.
From now on, Katsuya is "Big Suou".
Baofu: I heard from Tatsuya, on the "Other Side", that mystic was a rumormonger.
As I thought, it's slightly different.
Tatsuya: I've...betrayed everyone again...
I'm sorry... Leave me be.
Katsuya: No matter what Tatsuya says, I am still Tatsuya's brother! I will not let him suffer any longer!
Ulala: I wonder if I was tricked by him on the "Other Side" too. Hmm, I kind of want to know, but at the same time, I don't...
Baofu: My counterpart from the "Other Side", eh.
I'm not very interested...I'm not childish enough to expect anything from it.
Tatsuya: I'm sorry... Because of me...
Katsuya: Hahaha, Tatsuya's worries are "only that much" to Ms. Serizawa.
Ulala: Tatsuya's so reserved...
If it's only that much, he should've just told us in the first place.
Baofu: Tatsuya has pride too, right?...
It's easy to tell a secret, but maybe he didn't want to feel relieved by doing so?
Tatsuya: I came to change destiny...
I'm only fighting for that.
Katsuya: He couldn't even consult me, his own brother?...How stupid...He really is a stupid brother...
Ulala: Tatsuya's the type to hold everything back. If it was me, I'd tell all and have everyone help me.
Baofu: For a brat he's acting quite mature. A big brother is there to help his siblings. Let him be the older brother...
Tatsuya: The only one who can atone for a sin is the one who commits it, right? That's why I chose to be by myself. That's all.
Katsuya: Tatsuya was always fighting. Even on the "Other Sie"... In places I never knew about...
Ulala: Tatsuya, Eikichi, and others were connected by the "Other Side".
But, it's sad to the forgotten one...
Baofu: Crawling Chaos is such a grand name, just like New World Order... Those with big plans like big names...
Tatsuya: Am I too accustomed to being alone?...
It feels awkward to be walking with comrades now.
Katsuya: Another reality created by the hopes of Tatsuya and his friends...and a giant shadow trying to destroy the world...
Ulala: The Torifune rumor...Is that about the ruins they found during the subway construction?
Ulala: Even if they tried to create the Torifune with rumors... Could the construction thing be a rumor, too? What a large scale...!
Baofu: It's all unbelievable without seeing any proof...
But...it's consistent...huh.
Tatsuya: The people of the city have started to experience deja vu because the distortion has gotten bigger...there's no time.
One of my favorite features in Persona 2 is the party dialogue. Although only your main character appears on the map in dungeons, in non-combat areas the rest of your party will appear, standing around and available for you to talk to. Sometimes they offer commentary on the situation, sometimes interesting tidbits that flesh out their characters, sometimes they just make fun of each other. They have different dialogue in every area they appear in, and most of this dialogue changes after each major plot point. Sometimes they have more than one thing to say if you keep pestering them. It is, naturally, quite easy to miss this dialogue unless you revisit each location religiously after every plot point and keep jamming on the talk button, and I have been unable to locate a compilation of this dialogue on the internet. (The game script on GameFAQs has some of the dialogue, but doesn't seem to have all of it.)
Now that I've taken it upon myself to make such a compilation myself, I'm beginning to see why nobody bothered.
This is a compilation of the party dialogue in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. I expect it'll take me a while to finish this, because I'm busy with plenty of other things, and typing this up does take a while.
I've done my best to keep it organized, with plot points set out chronologically and the dialogue split by ward and then location within that. I've done my best to be exhaustive, but these are incredibly easy to miss, and so I'm reluctant to make promises. (Current issues: I always forget to visit Kasu High and get dialogue from the roof and basement. Always. idk, man.)
Some of these dialogues do contain minor typographical or grammatical errors! I have opted not to correct them. I have also left names as they appear in the English language release, even though my own compulsiveness really wants to edit "Seventh" back to "Sevens" every time I see it.
I am taking Nate's path on this run, so his dialogue will appear here first. (Sorry, Ellen fans, you may be waiting for a while.)
And while doing this for one game is enough to kill me, if you're looking for Innocent Sin,
tatsuya has something going for that over here!. the beginning .
The interviews at Seventh High School, before the principal's murder.
RENGEDAI: Seventh High School
>>Bike racks
Ulala: Hmmm...
You can bike here, huh?
>>Janitor's room
Ulala: Hmm?
The mouth on this poster is wet...
...Oh, well.
>>1-D
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, see that girl over there?
She got a card from the Joker.
If anything, it's just someone's prank.
Besides, what kind of person would send a notice to the person before killing 'em?
This ain't a horror flick, you know.
>>Faculty room
Ulala: Speaking of which, you said that Deja Vu Boy goes here, didn't you?...
Maybe you could meet up with him?
>>2-A
Ulala: (giggle)...
Matchmaker party, Matchmaker party ♥
I can't wait.
>>2-C
Ulala: Ma-ya, did you hear? Some girls from this class are making their debut...
Do you believe it? A debut!!
(sigh) I wanted to be a star... It's great to be young, with opportunities.
I wanna be young again...
>>3-B
Serious Guy: ...Anna might look like a punk on the outside, but she's not like that at all.
If it wasn't for that accident...
Katsuya: ...I see... I got it. Thank you.
...By the way, is there a Tatsuya here?
What has his activity been lately?
Serious Guy: Eh? Tatsuya?...
What did he do this time?
Katsuya: "This time"!?...
Uh, well... He hasn't done anything, but...
I see...
Ulala: Come to think of it, about that Deja Vu Boy you were talking about...
Wasn't he wearing this school's uniform?
A blue necktie means he's a senior, but...
Is there such a kid here?...
I wonder if he already went home.
>>Courtyard
Ulala: I bet he's hiding in the principal's office.
I hate those kind of people the most!
I'm gonna complain.
. murder at seventh .
After discovering the principal's murder at Seventh, and Katsuya joins the party.
RENGEDAI: Seventh High School
>>Janitor's room
Katsuya: The key to the clock tower is missing from here. It could be a thief... In any case, I should contact lost and found...
>>Faculty room
Ulala: I thought that the Joker was just a rumor...That's...why...I...
I never thought a rumor would become real.
Katsuya: Helios...So that's another "me", they say...
Another me, oblivious to myself...
How ironic that it has to be a cat.
. deja vu boy? .
After the police reinforcements have arrived at Seventh, and before meeting with Baofu.
RENGEDAI: Seventh High School
>>Hallway
Katsuya: That "Old Maid" is not normal, but I'm stuck on what he was saying...
About the "Other Side", and "This Side"...
Ulala: (sigh)
We can't go to the party after all...
Well, it can't be helped...
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: ...It's been so long since I've been here.
I used to bring my little brother here for the festivals...
He's always been so restless...
If I look away, next thing you know he'd be gone... You know, he's still like that.
Katsuya: The disintegration of the beliefs, and then the festival itself was gone...
The only thing left is this shrine.
Ulala: Well isn't this a run-down shrine. Will the gods make my life miserable for saying that? Oh well, my life is miserable anyways.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: The boy you say you saw at the Clock Tower...
You say the "Deja Vu Boy", but who is he? Does he know something about this case?
Katsuya: Either way, I'm surprised that you would go for sushi at this time of day. Do you reporters have that good of a salary?
Ulala: Hey, Ma-ya.
The one who helped us at the Clock Tower was the "Deja Vu Boy", right?
Are you sure you don't remember?
Why would someone who you just ran into at the station do that?
Ulala: Dammit, I never forget a guy's face...
Especially that Makimura's!!
Ulala: Say Ma-ya, wasn't this place featured in your magazine?
Like, this is a three-star sushi place.
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: Saeko Smith...was it?
Finding a hot-blooded teacher is rare these days. Very impressive indeed.
Compare that to Tatsuya... Why did he turn out that way while having a teacher like that. I just can't understand him!
Katsuya: Hmm... I wasn't aware that a shop like this was in Sumaru City...
I never noticed until now...
Ulala: Nothing good ever happens when I'm with you... Whatcha gonna do about my party!?
...Well, not that it's really your fault.
Ulala: I had ideas, you know? In Wang Long I'm a Moon Dragon, so I figured I'd have good affinity with a Red Dragon...and such.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: So this is the healing stuff...
I never thought I would have to depend on this kind of thing but, it's helping now...
Personas...Philemon...
All these insane things are happening...
Tell you the truth, it makes my head spin.
Ulala: In case you forgot...
I'm just a regular, normal citizen ya know?
I'm feeling down by all these murders.
So, I want to calm myself down with some aromatherapy...
Breath in...breathe out...
Ulala: Ahhhh, that smells good.
Not like your room that smells all moldy.
A girl should keep her room clean ya know.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: That man who killed the principal...
Did he commit the serial murders...
no, it's too early to decide that.
The serial killings started about six months ago...before the fortune telling craze began. Before the Joker curse...
Katsuya: I wonder about the boy who helped us...
Why was he there...?
And why did he disappear...?
Ulala: Hmm...from now on, pale skin is in...
I wonder if it'll really help me get my ideal boyfriend...
Ulala: (sigh) I was really looking forward to the party...
I can't believe I got involved in this mess.
No no, it's too early to give up!!
I still have time until I'm 25!
I'm pretty tenacious, you know!
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: Police work is an occupation where you come across a lot of "shady" characters...
I've actually gotten used to it.
Ulala: (giggle) That officer said "shady"!
Was that a joke, or was he serious?
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: The influence of Wang Long is unusual. That girl Anna ended up in a tragedy because of it... I wonder if it is related to the rumor.
Ulala: Wasn't the murdered principal of Seventh hooked on Wang Long fortune telling?
I wonder if he already knew the outcome.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: The planets formed a huge cross centering the earth, called the "Grand Cross"...
Nothing in particular happened, though...
Ulala: Remenmber the Grand Cross that happened in August? That arrangement is bad luck in astrology! Did you know that, Ma-ya?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: You're so composed. I think the strength of this Persona is just too much for the human body...
Ulala: A Persona is part of one's personality?...
Huh...that means...
Uh, a part of me is like that?!
>>Etheria
Katsuya: Police work is nothing flashy. Many people confuse it with TV dramas. ...Do you think a murder case occurs every week?
Ulala: ...I've never seen a dead body before...
I'm speechless...
To think if I knew the person... Eew!!
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: There're some pretty rough-looking clothes. This is what's popular now!? ...Hmmm, I don't get it...Am I getting old?
Ulala: See Ma-ya, they have LOTS of cool clothes. As a magazine editor, you should wear nicer clothes than just the ones I pick!
...Here, here, how about this one?
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency, before spreading the emblem rumor
Katsuya: Telling us to spread rumors means the boy must believe it too...
Who is he...?
Ulala: Ask him Ma-ya.
You got nothing to lose.
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency, after spreading the emblem rumor
Katsuya: "Baofu", huh...
How can he say he'll know by meeting?
I don't like it...
Ulala: That man doesn't look sharp, but he's a good man inside!
My "man-tenna" reads wildly.
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency, if you spread the Time Castle rumor
Katsuya: Ms. Amano... Won't spreading rumors about shops be considered as obstruction of business?
Though said, there has probably been no case of judicial precedent in court...
I feel the limits of the law and myself.
Ulala: So that's what the Joker looks like. I didn't think it actually existed! ...Do you think the Joker curse is, um, bad?
. ten years ago .
After Baofu joins the party, prior to investigating the sanitarium.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: The serial killings 10 years ago...There is no doubt Tatsuzou's son was a suspect. But there was nothing to really prove that.
Ulala: Joker Curse...
It couldn't be...nope, there's no way!
Stuff like that's just not possible!
Baofu: I refuse to believe in gods and stuff. So I don't believe in prophecies.
The only thing you can trust is yourself.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: The resonance of Personas...I never noticed it until Baofu said it...If only I could use this power for interrogating...
Ulala: H...Hey...Ma-ya.
What if I did the Joker curse...?
N, No, it's nothing. Never mind.
Baofu: Hmm...That stout guy is a Persona user, huh.
It doesn't seem fit for battles though...
You can get a lot from reading resonance.
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: Baofu said that it's just chivalry...
But I don't think so. He's got an atmosphere similar to that of a criminal...
Ulala: That boy that came to the Detective's Office is the "Deja Vu Boy", right?...
Why does he appear wherever we go...?
Baofu: The sign says antiques but all they have are clocks.
Can't say this place got good taste.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tatsuzou Sudou...
If he had something to do with the serial killing 10 years ago...then...
Ulala: "Baofu", huh... What a weird name.
I can't say it with a straight face. I think I'll call him "Bao"!
Baofu: Hmph...what's with all these sweet smells, is this a powder room or something? They should air out this place.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: ...The serial killings and the Joker case...is there a link between the two? ...But if rumors become reality then...
Ulala: By the way, they say that Mr. Harding got his position because of fortune telling. That's some success story.
On the other hand, that Anna girl broke her leg just like her fortune said...
She's finished as an athlete.
The outcomes in Wang Long are so simple. It's either really good or really bad. You either win or lose.
Ulala: Most fortune telling is pretty vague but Wang Long is really specific. And plus, it's accurate, so it's very popular.
Baofu: If Tatsuya Sudou isn't the Joker, then he didn't do the killings 10 years ago. I'm fairly sure of that.
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: ...Baofu's sense of fashion?
I don't know about "cool", but it sure isn't traditional...
Ulala: Sure, people in the industry are a little "different" from the general public, but...
Baofu's really "different", isn't he?
Baofu: Hey, why is that receptionist looking over here?...
What kind of face is that anyway?
Anybody walking into a publishing company wears something like this, don't they?
It shouldn't be a big deal...
Don't you see how "cool" this is...?
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: ...That's a cute lucky cat statue...
What? That's not what you expect me to say? Is it that weird... for me to be a cat lover?
Ulala: Isn't the Chief kind of weird? I mean...
To me, his appearance doesn't seem to match his intelligence.
Baofu: There's people like that on the net. Outspoken online, but can't say shit in real life.
...Wait, did I screw up somewhere?
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: Guardian dragon? Oh, the Wang Long fortunes. I'm told that I'm an intuitive Purple Dragon, but... I don't believe in it that much.
Ulala: My guardian dragon is the mystic Moon Dragon! What's yours, Ma-ya? ...What, you don't know?
Baofu: Wang Long fortune telling? The one Serizawa goes nuts about? ...She was saying something about a frank Navy Blue Dragon.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: The general public does enjoy spreading strange rumors. And it will all come true...
The police won't be enough to handle this.
Ulala: Rumors becoming true...Hey!
So all the things people are talking about irresponsibly is not good, is it?
Baofu: Rumors that come true...
If we're not careful, some wicked individuals may us it for evil purposes.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I heard there are many theft cases here by students, but in such a wide open area...?
There's absolutely no crime control.
Ulala: I hear Satomi Tadashi is an expanding franchise. They don't have any competition. Oh, are high school girls the competition?
Baofu: Wouldn't juvenile crimes rise if adults couldn't scold their children?... The wrongs of sin need to be instilled in children.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: As Ms. Serizawa says, it does seem abnormal... Could they have been running business illegally?
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya! An ether treatment.
Ahahahaha! That's so fishy, isn't it?
You want to give it a try?
Baofu: If you ask me, beauty spas are suspicious. All they're doing is soothing customer's complexes... It's the same as drinking.
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: I thought the history boom was transitory, but after ruins were found in that subway construction, it has really taken off.
Ulala: Will Kismet ever bring out a history book?
They should while it's popular.
Why don't you start one? I bet it'll sell.
Baofu: History boom... A yearning for the old days.
Just being old isn't what's important... An aged liquor has it's own unique flavor.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Followers of Philemon...?
Then, that was not a dream at all...
...I dreamt about this as a kid...A golden butterfly...masked man...blue room... The night I played Persona with Tatsuya...
Katsuya: But how did Baofu know about this place? He seems to know a lot about Personas...
Katsuya: Persona...Joker...rumors coming true...
What is happening outside the reality that I used to know...
Katsuya: The serial killings 10 years ago...is that Minister of Foreign Affairs...Tatsuzou Sudou connected to them? If so...
Ulala: So, in other words...you can have all sorts of Personas summoned here?
That's pretty convenient...
Come to think of it, back in high school I learned Persona from you and played it...I wonder if it has anything to do with this?
Ulala: I actually knew of that door before. It was there, then it wasn't, so I thought it was a weird door, but I didn't think it led here...
Ulala: So if we get a strong Persona here and we just we use that, and we're invinicible.
...Eh? It's not that easy?
Ulala: That Baofu seems to know about Personas more than us. He's kinda sketchy...
I wonder who he really is...
Baofu: So, what do you think? Useful, huh?
Listen, Personas are just tools...
Use them according to the situation.
Don't ever think that's you...
I'd never admit that's me...
You can only count on yourself in the end...
Baofu: Huh?
Do I hate Personas...?
Yeah, I hate them...
You can't use them when you need 'em most...
Don't ever rely on them too much.
Baofu: Huh?
Why am I able to use Personas...?
That's what I'd like to know...though I might've played that game when I was a kid...
. the sanitarium .
During and after the battles at the sanitarium, before accepting Sudou's challenge to meet him at the Sky Museum.
MT. MIFUNE: Sanitarium
>>Rear entrance
Katsuya: Demons, murderers, and now the Mafia...
Is this still Japan here?
I can't understand it all...
Ulala: I've been so shaken up these days...
Why do I have to put up with this?
Why does a rumor become true...
Baofu: With this, I don't know what's coming up...
You ready?...
This is your last chance to turn back.
>>Trish's Fountain
Katsuya: W...What is this room? It feels the same as Philemon's dimension...
Is this another world, too...?
Katsuya: Places where an incident occurs have a peculiar atmosphere. That's why eerie stories are based on those areas.
There are even stories going around about that bizarre murder case. Geez, even if it's a joke, I wish they'd stop it.
Katsuya: Necessity knows no law...huh.
But those prices are outrageous...
Isn't there anything we can do about it?
Ulala: Wow♥...Look, Ma-ya, a fairy!!
I've never seen one before!!
Should I take a picture?
Ulala: Wa... She's charging us?
She has a cute face, but what a money-grubbing fairy!
Baofu: I don't know much about this room.
That flying bug is the owner, right? Why don't you ask her?
Baofu: A money-grubbing fairy and talkative demons... After all of this and all those ghost stories, they seem like lies, huh?
But, there was one story that's really scary. Even I couldn't sleep. I'll tell ya when I feel like it.
Baofu: A fairy with a greed for money...huh.
Hmph, what an empty dream. In the end, dreams are just people's delusions...
>>Room 206
Katsuya: That nurse seems to be very confused, but considering this horrible condition...
Everything must be true.
Ulala: This nurse said she saw a mysterious, armed group take on some demons!
Could it be those dead Mafia guys back there?...
Baofu: It seems that Tatsuzou is making enormous contributions to this sanitarium.
He probably bribed them under the mask of charity, but she spilled her guts quickly.
Well, it can't be helped in this situation.
>>Room 303
Katsuya: He seemed to know you...
But what about you does he know...
Ulala: W, What's with this big eye...Gross!
Nyar...whatever is written on it...
I can't read it...
Baofu: I see why Sudou was hiding him...
I guess you can't blame him with such a crazy son. Like father, like son...
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: It was rumored that the murderer 10 years ago was the Joker...
And that Joker was Tatsuya Sudou.
In other words, the true killer was Tatsuya Sudou...Now we have an invisible connection...
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: The "Kotodama" that Sudou was talking about must mean "rumors". So that means he became the Joker by the power of rumors.
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: T...This is...the work of a burglar!?
Is anything missing? You should check immediately. I'll begin a search!
Katsuya: What? It was like this to begin with?...
But...this is just so dreadful...
Well...But...Was it?...
Ulala: Oh, yeah, I didn't tell you, but recently I've started to learn the flamenco dance.
Wanna see it later? I'm really good♥...
Ulala: Come to think of it, how many years has it been since we began rooming together?
Really, what a rough life...
Ulala: You know, Ma-ya...
If you're going to bring a man into your room, at least clean up first...
...No...forget it. They're not really the type to care about this kind of stuff...
Half of this is my fault, too...
Baofu: Hmmm...That's a nice stereo.
It's a decent addition to this room.
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: This is my work place. Everyone here is good, but they are on duty right now.
Please don't cause any trouble.
Ulala: Huh?...A dog statue?
Just like in that detective's office.
This city has a bunch of weird objects.
Baofu: Hmph...It hasn't changed...
This atmosphere...
In the end, it's just a government job...
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: That proprietor is an information expert. Many guys at the station rely on him to keep tabs of the word on the street.
You can't say that it is legal, but we're in a similar situation.
Why don't you try talking to him?
Ulala: Ma-ya, what should we do?...
I asked the barkeeper, and he said that there's a bunch of kids at the museum!
What if something happens...
N...No, No! We're here to ensure it does not happen!
Baofu: Hmmm... This is a nice place here.
But this is a cafe?
I thought it was a new bar.
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Who was "that brat" Sudou spoke of?...
From what I heard, this seems to be related to you, Ms. Amano...
Ulala: Huh? You want your fortune told, Ma-ya?
Then use Wang Long.
That one works way better.
Ulala: I just get the feeling "that brat" he mentioned...
Could that be the Deja Vu Boy?
Baofu: So whenever someone did the Joker vurse, he slipped out of that sanitarium room...
Thanks for your trouble, buddy.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: Studying counseling for the future...
It is wonderful to have such a determined mind to move forward at such a young age.
I wish he could learn from her...
Or even develop a small fraction of her determination...
Ulala: Psychotherapy...Ma-ya, you got a worry?
Geee---zzz, you're so distant. At times like that why don't you talk to me...
Eh? That's not it? Hahaha...That's right.
You're always being positive...
It's useless just worrying about it.
Baofu: A Persona is whimsical. It can be your strongest ally, or your worst enemy...
...Isn't that similar?...To your own I mean.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: If the Joker case is his doing, then the previous murder cases are likely to have been his doing, too.
But...the method is too different...
He probably doesn't use guns. Anyway, we have to capture him and get a confession.
Ulala: He knows...
What I did...
At this rate, he'll......Ma-ya...
Baofu: This store's owner...the "6th" sister, or whatever...I can't tell them apart...They sell the same stuff, so it doesn't matter.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Ever since we came back from the sanitarium, Ms. Serizawa has been acting strangely...
What's wrong?
Ulala: I can't believe...the Joker really exists...
He knows...about me...
...about what I did...
Baofu: So he IS the one behind the Mafia...
...I've finally found him...
I'll get him this time...
. conspiracy? .
After the Sky Museum, once Baofu has rejoined Maya, but before going to the police station to pick up Katsuya.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Baofu: Hmph, the police are just guardians of the law. They're not allies of justice.
That wussie better realize that already.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Baofu: What is this "Other Side" that Sudou's son was talking about?...
And what does that broadsword kid know...?
>>Time Castle
Baofu: What's wrong with that woman over there?
Something's not right with her...
>>Kaori
Baofu: Thinking about it, rumors becoming reality sucks. Due to that show, the city is full of Jokers...How will the police handle it?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: That wussie's brother...Tatsuya was it...
That's your "Deja Vu" Boy, right? He knew Sudou and the kid who was there...
And about you, too...
Who is he? What does he have to do with the "Other Side" that Sudou mentioned?
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Baofu: Why do I always start crap with Suou? I'm not starting anything.
It's just that I get irritated when I see that wussie...
That's all...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Baofu: Listen, Amano! You can't depend on anyone! Never trust the society... even your friends! You can only rely on yourself... Got it!?
>>2x Slash
Baofu: It's not that computer users are superior, but the companies demand the skills... You can't fight against the technological advancement.
>>Parabellum
Baofu: Hey Maya, what do you want from here? Hey let's get going to Suou's place.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: All cases we get into are "accidents". It is handling information by using various means. Is the young Suou alright?
>>Etheria
Baofu: Suou! HEY, Suou!!
...Amano, it doesn't look like Suou is here!
>>Rosa Candida
Baofu: What's up Amano? This is a police station. You suddenly got into fancy fashion?
Ahh! Before seeing Suou...eh?
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Baofu: Whether it's a lie or a delusion, if it becomes a rumor, it becomes a reality.
...Even a model blimp flew.
>>Sumaru Genie
Baofu: Be it fortunes or be it gods, can these guys do anything without having to rely on something?
Huh? How about Persona, you say?...
Didn't I mention it before?...
Persona's just a tool, nothing more...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: "The Other Side"...huh...
Don't tell me it's my "previous life".
. finding the man-searcher .
After regrouping with Katsuya, before confronting Makimura.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: That boy...He's the one we met at the Sky Museum. Why is he here?
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: What is Tatsuya hiding?
Only he understood what Tatsuya Sudou was talking about. Why is that...
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: That TV show had way too perfect timing...
It's one thing if they didn't know rumors can come true, but doing it otherwise...
>>Kaori
Katsuya: The case can't be solved by standard investigation techniques...Why doesn't Captain Shimazu understand that?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I haven't seen Tatsuya since then...
He should tell me if he's alright!
I don't know what to do with him.
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: I don't get good vibes...from this place.
Having a place like this near a school, is a bad environment for the students.
No, loving music is not a bad thing.
I myself play the lute...
That's why I prefer a more wholesome mood.
Baofu: I didn't know there was a place like this here. But this is out of my league.
It's just too childish for me.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: Is she the "man-searcher"?
I don't want to judge anyone by their appearance, but... Can we trust her?
Baofu: The owner here is more suspicious than what I've heard. Oh, wait, I shouldn't be saying that should I? I'm the same.
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: ...Extremists?!
No, I shouldn't suspect innocent citizens. Shame on myself...
Baofu: ...Hey Suou, extremists in this day and age?
What decade are you in, man?
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: Places like this aren't bad, but I prefer hot springs. They soothe the heart as well as the body.
Baofu: Chiropractor? I don't need one.
I know the best medicine in the world. It cures everything! Even love problems.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Lately men tend to like sweet stuff too!
There are actually more male dessert chefs. Ah, Ms. Amano, do you like making desserts?
Baofu: Look at all these diet products! You guys rely too much on drugs! Everyone too easy on themselves. What the heck, girls like it easy?
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: ...Wang Long Chizuru?
I do know about that famous fortune teller.
...What? You got your fortune told by her? That's pretty impressive.
Baofu: From those TV reports, the publisher can't be trusted either. Besides, do people here have a sense of journalism anyway?
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: The Joker curse that turns people into Jokers... So this is what Sudou's last words meant.
Baofu: "Joker won't die", huh...
He's right, his death won't end this case.
Hmph, too bad for us.
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: Did that fortune teller coincidentally speak about the Joker?
Or...is she involved?
Baofu: "Joka" and "Joker curse", huh...
Suspicious, but... Perhaps she was just playing along with word games.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Wh, What are you talking about...?
Even if I knew, I cannot tell a civilian the circumstances of the police!
Baofu: Suou, you got the gun from work right?
Is it still "New Nanbu"? Or has it been changed to "P230" by now?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: ...Exactly what Baofu said. It doesn't matter to me what the law deems as just.
I'm going to do what's right...
Baofu: So Suou, are you satisfied at how corrupt the police system is? Aren't you disgusted by being a sucker?
>>Etheria
Katsuya: I had a feeling there was something behind Ms. Serizawa's bright personality...
I hope she does not make any mistakes.
Baofu: Even Serizawa would have a shady side. Getting caught up in a marriage scam is a part of it. Nowadays, everyone has problems.
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Past cases suggest victims of marriage fraud, never TRULY resent the imposter...
I hope that is true of Ms. Serizawa too...
Baofu: Not truly resenting the swindler...eh.
Despite being a swindle, they give you at least a moment of happiness?...How lax...
KONAN: Police Station
Baofu: Let's go to Hirasaka first.
We gotta find that man-searcher.
Katsuya: More Jokers...
And here we can't even handle one...
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: What I'm saying is, our rooms are much cleaner. It might be a bit prejudiced, but...a woman should be a bit more...like...
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: I understand that this situation we are encountering is hard to believe.
But...What can we do!?
If my testimony, that of a fellow civil servant, can't get them to believe...
How can I get the police to move!?
We are the guardians of the law...but the law is there for the people! To protect the law is to protect people... But...
Katsuya: From here on in, this is my personal will.
As a human being, I plan to confront this case's solution head on.
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: After that, I had my men search the beach, but I couldn't find Tatsuya...
Where is he hiding...?
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: The police already have many reports on Joker-related incidents. The ripple of the curse is spreading through the city.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: That guy with the Captain...That's the first time I've seen him, but who is he?...
He doesn't look like a government official.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: I didn't expect Ms. Serizawa to do the Joker curse. I figured she'd go for a much more direct method...
. ulala's ex .
After confronting Makimura at Parabellum.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: If Ms. Serizawa has already become a Joker, she will certainly attack that man...
So we're nothing but his bodyguards.
Baofu: I want to ask you just in case...If Ulala completely becomes a Joker and we can't handle her...What do we do? Kill her?
>>Save her no matter what.
Baofu: ...Heh, that's so you. You're a wussie. Just like Suou. Let me just warn you that I'm different from you guys.
>>If we have no other choice...
Baofu: So you have the resolution? You seem to be the type to commit crimes unknowingly. How many do you think were hurt because of you?
But that doesn't concern you. Because you haven't done anything.
So it's not your problem...right?
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: Hmm? The atmosphere seems odd...
Did something happen here?
Baofu: According the guy there, one of the customers all of a sudden went crazy. Probably the same thing as Ulala...
>>Kaori
Katsuya: Now that you mention it, Ms. Serizawa was acting strange since the incident at the school. Who knew she did the curse too?
Baofu: We've got Makimura, but what now?...
There is no guarantee that Ulala will return to normal.
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Makimura: Do we really have the time to be here?
...Mr. Cop, what are you quiet about?
Katsuya: Nothing, I was just thinking about putting you in here.
Baofu: Hmph, better throw him into a real one. That place is dark, the food sucks, the floor is cold, and it's a real nice place.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: You don't seem to understand the position you're in. Listen, Makimura! If she didn't cooperate with us, you'd already be dead!
Baofu: Is that con-man enjoying playing the part of the criminal? Normal people don't say stuff like that. He's watched too much TV!
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: ...I feel sad.
Makimura, have you no conscience?
What you did was clearly a crime!!
Makimura: There! Officer, look at that man!
See, see all men are like that.
You're a man too, so you understand, right?
Baofu: Hey Suou, this con artist is talking to you.
Do you know how this guy feels?
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: Makimura...
I am responsible for and obligated to protect you.
I'm doing my best to prevent future crimes. You have no right to complain.
Baofu: Protecting a criminal? Get real!
It doesn't matter what happens to you. It's just that we can't make her a killer.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Most people can't distinguish twins...But familiar people, such as family members, can tell right away. Even the 7 Satomi sisters.
Baofu: The difference in relatives who look alike...is like wine, such as grapes from different fields or seasons which labels can't tell apart.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: Most places like this don't allow young children after 6 PM.
However...there are kids who don't follow that rule. Many fake their age. You can tell most of them by their voice though.
Baofu: I've heard a rumor that this is a casino.
The information was in bits and pieces...like "slots are easy", or "bingo cashes in."
YUMEZAKI: GOLD
>>Lobby
Baofu: Did she really become a Joker?
Well, if worse comes to worst, we could just kill him.
Katsuya: Something definitely happened...
We must find someone with a spare key...
Let's hurry, Miss Amano.
>>Equipment Room
Katsuya: I tried to investigate his criminal mind, but...
His is just an excuse.
Katsuya: ...Huh? Barbell!?
Didn't you mistake it for something else?...
Baofu: That missy didn't have the key, right?...
Let's get outta here.
>>Women's Locker Room
Katsuya: Um...could you take a look in there?
This is the women's locker room, so...uh...
Baofu: I don't understand people who pay high prices just to come here...
Me? I'm just fine without it...
Katsuya: Now, let's find Miss Serizawa.
Baofu: Tatsuzou's son said that Tatsuzou turned him into a Joker...
They weren't planning to create more Jokers too, were they?
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: This may come as a surprise, but I tend to eat in places like this often.
I don't have time to enjoy a meal.
Baofu: That waitress is also a victim of the rumors.
She used to be a normal girl, but there was a rumor about her talking like a ninja.
She always was a hardcore ninja movie fan. But the rumor exaggerated it. In a way, this is the most dangerous city in the world...
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: A sidewalk sale, huh...
Have they gotten a permit? If not, I will have them removed at once.
Baofu: Accessories are like fine wine where the creator's delicate care shows clearly. Mere looks aren't good enough.
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: I've heard of a tanning salon that treats wounds and illness...
This must be the one.
Well...the fact is, that rumor has been spread. The part of it coming true is just full of it...
Baofu: Makimura and that storekeeper...
Don't they seem like similar types? He might be buying hate from women too.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Either way, it turned out just like that owner said. The rumor about the man-searcher could be true...
Baofu: Something seems strange...Why did Serizawa call you? If she's gonna kill the swindler, she doesn't need to get permission, right?
It may be because of the curse, but would a person really have that kind of ability when turning into a Joker?
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: Baofu's idea isn't bad. There are sins that can't be judged by the law. Then they must be judged by the people, right?
Baofu: Good timing... Why don't you put this guy's picture up as "Women's Public Enemy #1: The true face of Makimura!!" or something...?
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: Question him about his other crimes? I don't intend to let him go, but his safety has a higher priority! I'll take care of that later!
Baofu: Hehehe, that swindler is rebellious now.
What are you gonna do, Suou? Grill him thoroughly?
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: Ms. Amano... Can you shut Makimura up?
His words are irritating me... I can't seem to hold back my anger!!
Baofu: Those bastards who are defrauding women would do anything to deceive them, huh...
Talk about no integrity.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Hey Baofu!
How can you just be like that when Miss Serizawa is in danger!
Baofu: Ulala's so dumb, getting fooled by a guy like that. She has no eye for men. It's all because she counts on fortunes so much.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: What a criminal says can be a benefit. It may go awry in the way a person acts...
However, you don't need to preach it.
Baofu: Cheap stuff has surely gotten better, but, it just substitutes the good stuff, right?
That shouldn't make anybody happy.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: Maybe not beauty spa, but men wear make-up nowadays too. I even trim my eye brows...
Baofu's a rather "old-fashioned" guy.
Baofu: They didn't have beauty spa for men when I was young. You even needed guts just to buy men's cologne. ...What happened to manliness?
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Mr. Makimura, I would like to get your opinion. But I'd like to get Ms. Amano's opinion first. Understand?
Baofu: Oh! Even a piece of trash who tricks women feels embarrassment. Hmm...I see...In that case think of how your victims must feel!!
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: Several Joker cases have just been reported!...The situation has changed!
We can't go by the book anymore.
Katsuya: If I can't move when it counts there's no point in me becoming a detective. Even if times change, my father's beliefs won't.
Baofu: (sigh)...That wuss seems to have finally grasped reality. The police today aren't any different from an average corporation.
. joker hunt .
After Ulala rejoins, as the party tracks down Noriko and her kidnappers.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: Thanks to Ms. Serizawa, we now know how to cure people who've become Jokers...But we can't just take everyone to the Velvet Room...
Ulala: I was conscious when I was becoming a Joker. It's not like someone else was controlling me. I was just upset...
Ulala: So...in other words...that is the true me. I can't make any excuses.
Really...I'm so pathetic...
Baofu: Is Serizawa still bothered? How stupid. There aren't any perfect people in this world. Everyone who lives has "Kegare".
Baofu: I'm not trying to console. Anyone who hopes for Kegare-free people is a fool. So are those who try to become that.
Baofu: Humans are a combination of both, good and bad. What's the point in focusing on just one side?
Baofu: The more perfect humans are, the more ruthless they can be.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Ulala: I turned back to normal thanks to you guys...but what'll happen to everyone else who did the Joker curse?
>>Time Castle
Ulala: Even if the Joker is a Persona, it's completely different from ours. Kinda like the opposite...I don't know how to put it...
>>Kaori
Katsuya: That girl Noriko did the Joker curse...
I should have noticed it earlier. I didn't investigate it deep enough...
Ulala: If that girl Noriko was abducted because she became a Joker, that could've happened to me too... I can't let this pass by!
Baofu: This is ridiculous.
Did we volunteer to save the Joker people? I can't be bothered with this crap.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: The Joker was a Persona.
Undoubtedly, my Persona...
It was another side of me.
Ulala: (sigh) ...It makes me sick. Even though I understand it, I don't want to admit that's my true self.
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: High school students need to be more lively, like them...
Somewhere brighter would be better though.
Ulala: Being at a club at this time...
Maybe those kids are a band or something? Or just working a part-time job?
Baofu: Can't even drink in peace at a place like this. This is a place for kids.
HIRASAKA: Kasugayama High School
>>Rooftop
Katsuya: The students here seem to view Seven Sisters High School as their rivals...
Did something happen in the past?
Ulala: So this is Kasugayama High School...
It's pretty dull... No wonder it has such a bad reputation.
Baofu: With two schools in the same district, of course there's gonna be rivalry!... I never heard of anything happening in the past.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: How should I say this...um...Ms. Serizawa!
You must forget about that scum! Just think of it as being bitten by a stray dog...
Ulala: I've caused you all so much trouble...
I'm really sorry! Please forgive me!
...No?
Baofu: Look at Ulala straining herself. Maybe she grew up a little now?
Hey Ulala! Quit being easy on yourself!
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: ...Men are wolves.
I can't deny that, but it's unfortunate that all men have to be labeled that way.
Ulala: You shouldn't trust men so easily.
Be careful, Ma-ya! Men are wolves! It'll be too late after you get hurt.
Baofu: Hey, Ulala, aren't you confused? Don't blame your foolishness on men.
...You understand right?

Katsuya: Even if my job is hard on my body, I'm still 25. It's too early... Come to think of it, my father had back problems...
Ulala: How are your shoulders, Ma-ya?
I've got these big melons, you know? It's pretty rough on my shoulders...Whew.
Baofu: Putting Ulala aside...
Do you have problems with chills?
...I used to know someone who had that...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Does this place require all employees to earn a pharmacy license like some other drugstore chains? A Farmer license? ...A, Amano...
Ulala: Discount drugstores are very nice. They have good prices and selection. But I'm a little worried. Do they really know about drugs?
Baofu: In company wars, what's your weapon? Those are prices and trust. If prices are the same, everyone will go to the store that they trust.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: H...Honestly, I've never gambled before...
I don't really know the rules...
Ulala: Huh? How could I have forgiven Makimura?
Well...um...I was stupid too...so...
It's kinda too bad I have no more rivalry.
Baofu: You went so far as to manipulate a rumor...
Geez. We're not here on a picnic. Play AFTER we finish our business.
YUMEZAKI: Club Zodiac
Katsuya: Atone for his sins...?
What sins... Tatsuya...?
Ulala: The mob's casino behind a club...
I'm curious since I like gambling...
Want me to read your luck?
Baofu: They made a place like this their hideout...
They're underestimating me...
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: It's not like you have a grudge against Ms. Serizawa, right? I hope she doesn't take it personally...She just needs some time.
Ulala: Ahh...kind of...after that incident, something feels awkward. Ma-ya, is there something you want to eat? I'll pay...
Baofu: I don't think that Anna girl is in the Mafia, and I don't think it's a trap either, but...
Well, a little extra caution doesn't hurt.
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: Zodiac is the club that is rumored to be the hideout for the Mafia. I was planning on researching it sooner or later...
Ulala: By the way, that Anna girl probably doesn't know that Tatsuya saved her, does she?
Baofu: It's none of my business what happens to some brat named "Noriko"...Unless it helps us find out what their intentions are.
>>Bikini Line
Ulala: Didn't he say he has villas overseas? Don't believe it, it's all a lie. He just made it seem so, getting tanned locally.
Ulala: The key to judging a man is, his shoes! Guys with cheap, dirty shoes are no good, even if the rest is okay. Beware!
Baofu: Wanna make a bet? To see if Ulala will be tricked by a man again. I'll bet that she does get tricked.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Service regulation violation...
It isn't something an outsider would just say regularly. Baofu...what is he?
Ulala: After all...I can't talk about others.
I caused Ma-ya trouble too...I can only talk bad about Makimura.
Baofu: Silly how you were after a Joker to kill, but ended up becoming one.
Try not to be a nuisance anymore, eh...
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: The only prize I ever sent in for was in a coffee sweepstakes...
I used to drink a lot of coffee.
Ulala: Are there going to be any prizes from Kismet? Lately, magazines give out a lot of prizes...Why don't you try something?
Baofu: Now they have pop-top openers on cans, but back in my day, we collected pull-tops and stuck them onto postcards...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, I agree with what Ms. Serizawa said... We can't allow her to commit any more crimes!
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, let's hurry. We have to...
We have to help Noriko! We can't let such a young girl turn into a Joker!
Baofu: It doesn't matter if she's a minor, or if she indirectly commited murder with the Joker curse... She must pay for her crime.
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: The police are improving their network as well. Our main goal is to fight network crimes, while increasing the office efficiency.
Ulala: What do you write your copy on, Ma-ya? A typewriter? Computer? ...I can't even type without looking at the keys.
Baofu: Leave computers and booze to me. What do ya wanna know? ...Huh? Hw to enter Japanese characters? You gotta use the Japanese OS.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, do you prefer atmosphere over quality? I prefer quality of taste. Yes...A good coffee shop is a place with good cake!
Ulala: If someone took you to a place like this, you just might fall for 'em, right Ma-ya?
Hey, Ma-ya?
Baofu: There are people who buy wine for the label design. There's nothing wrong with that, but isn't flavor most important?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: The Persona symbolizing the human sin...Joker...
So anybody can have that trait.
Ulala: Sorry, I'm sorry?...But look, we confirmed that a person who did the Joker curse turned into a Joker!
Baofu: Everyone has the potential of becoming a Joker. Serizawa has proven it. That's just too bad.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: How touching... Ms. Serizawa... I guess she can think of it as a costly bride training...
No, I'm not thinking of forgiving a criminal.
Ulala: It's about the inside of a person, inside! Men and women are both about the inside!
This is the lesson of the day!
Baofu: People all grow from getting hurt. If it taught you a lesson, at least you got something out of it.
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Besides the point of Ms. Serizawa being a good wife, a girl good at domestic work is a very reassuring existence to single men.
Ulala: Marriage...I yearn for it. If I do say so myself, I think I'd make a great wife. Unlike Ma-ya, I'm good at domestic work!
Baofu: I guess everyone has at least one thing they're good at. Recently men are getting used to house work. It may be a weak point.
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Ulala: Eh? Don't smoke in here? ...Don't be so uptight, Ma-ya...If you worry about little things, you'll get more wrinkles.
KONAN: Police Station
Ulala: Actually, when I was tricked by Makimura, I didn't report it to the police...
Why do you ask...?...
Ulala: Because if he's arrested, I can't give him the death of 1000 fists! I'm not so soft!
...Well, that was a long time ago...
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Ulala: Ah! Come to think of it, Makimura invited me for a cruise even though he didn't have a boat!
Ulala: Uki------------!!
I knew I should've smacked him!
Ulala: Now that I think of it, Ma-ya, you have a license to scuba dive, don't you?
Hmmmm... Maybe I should get one.
>>Sumaru Genie
Ulala: Come to think of it, I tried a psychic network to track Makimura down...
I don't need it anymore.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Ulala: What have I been training my fists for...
I've been hitting the speedbag hard, just thinking of giving Makimura an iron fist.
Ulala: Ultimately I aimed at you, and when I saw Makimura's face, I just lost all will to do it... Really, I'm so stupid.
Ulala: By the way, Ma-ya, have I met Makimura at GOLD before? I felt I have, even though that was supposed to be my first time.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Was that my...true nature...?
I'm starting to hate myself, really.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: The Joker is the shadow of the heart...
It must be an incarnation of the evil side everyone possesses.
Katsuya: If that's so, the Joker is within me too...
Inside Ms. Amano and Baofu. But it's not anyone's fault. Kegare is part of us all...
Ulala: Ma-ya, I've caused you so much trouble...
On top of that you even saved me.
Really, thank you.
Baofu: I overheard that the kidnappers were speaking Chinese. Must be the Tien Tao Lien...
. meeting with sneak .
After saving Noriko, before meeting Sneak at Aoba Park.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: Their son hasn't come home yet. Considering there has been more and more Joker incidents...I hope nothing happened.
Ulala: Do you think it's true that Bao killed 25 people? He doesn't seem THAT bad...
Ah, it's that. A woman's intuition.
Baofu: Their kid still hasn't come home.
If he did the Joker curse, he may have been abducted like the rest...
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: Unfortunately, we don't have time to find that woman. Even as we speak, people turned into Jokers are probably being hunted...
Ulala: Ma-ya, did ya hear what that guy said?
The woman here was abducted by people who wore black. She was probably Joker-hunted!
Baofu: It's pretty useless just hitting one or two of the hideouts. You have to hit the source of it all.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: A government officer working with an assassin... That should never happen!
I WILL expose all this corruption!
Ulala: The guys are being kinda scary. They don't need to get so upset.
Ma-ya, you should stay away from them.
Baofu: I don't care what you think of me.
We're from different worlds. Just keep that in mind.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: All crimes have a motive. Even Joker-hunting.
Only if we could find the reason...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, why are those killers able to catch people who turn into Jokers?
Do they know who's going to be a Joker?
Baofu: He said that the hunting was part of their scheme. The abductions that are happening must be related too. They're hard to get.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Baofu: Ch...! If that damn brat Noriko wasn't around, we wouldn't of lost 'em!
...Dammit, give me a break!
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: Right before Baofu joined us, he said it was out of "heroism"...
Can we still trust him?
Ulala: Hard to tell what Bao is thinking. He always wears those glasses, and you can't see his expression. I don't think he's bad though...
Baofu: Sorry, I'm gonna keep on doing this the way I've been doing it.
It so happens I'm not good at holding back.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I'm breaking my penitence disposal for now...
But I'm still a public servant!...I won't allow even a colleague's illegal actions.
Ulala: Does Bao have something against the Mafia?
Judging by his actions at the club, something must've happened in the past.
Baofu: So? How many more Joker users do we have to bring to the Velvet Room?...
I'm starting to get sick of this.
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: It seems like publishing companies have many unknown people coming and going...
Do they even notice an outsider?
Ulala: I see, the magazine printers are from another company. Your old partner wasn't with the company. Layout is a design job.
Ulala: ...Hmm?
Then, what is Ma-ya's job?
Baofu: The reason for outsiders coming in and out often is because the magazine printers are outsiders. The publishers are "Editors".
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: Baofu... Why don't we stop hiding things? If there's something I can do, I won't regret helping.
Ulala: Baofu was scary at Zodiac, huh? It seems he has a shady past, but I wonder if that has anything to do with it...
Baofu: ...There's nothing to talk about.
And you don't have time to waste on me, right?
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: Goal of life... I never thought about it.
I'm just living my life as I see fit.
Ulala: Mr. Suou, Bao...
All of you have goals in life.
I guess men and women ARE different...
Baofu: Gender has nothing to do with life, right?
You can't rely on someone else for an easy way out... I know you realize that.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, is Ms. Serizawa alright?
She said something again that worries me. Is she alright this time?...
Ulala: Stores like this suit a guy of few words.
I feel, how shall I say, an adult "appeal"
...Mysterious men are kinda attractive.
Baofu: (sigh) Of all the things she could say.
She can't feel at ease unless she's in love? What a simpleton.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Noriko's strong feelings for Anna...
It cannot be forgiven...Using a youth's innocent feelings...
Ulala: It's hard to become honest when a companion's feelings are too strong. Anna was probably like that.
Baofu: There's too many weak-willed people. Those that take advantage...are they geniuses...or fools? That's debatable.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: Tatsuya was going in and out of that club...
I thought I understood about my brother, but I actually...knew nothing.
Ulala: Anna and Tatsuya seemed very close.
Looks like they used to go to clubs together. What do you think of that?
Baofu: The older brother's love isn't reaching the younger. Maybe that love is just elder's ego? It's important to see both ends...
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: It's true the police have been overlooking the Mafia. It was the thought of violence creating peace. But I'll never admit that.
Ulala: To think there was a Mafia like that in this city...I'm a little shocked.
Gotta look at the world differently!
Baofu: The Mafia?...Too obvious. They're all over the place. Especially around downtown...
Cops just pretend they don't see them.
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Many versus a few...
We can't stop all of the kidnappings. If we only know where they're being held...
Ulala: We saved that girl Noriko...
But she was lucky.
There probably are many others kidnapped...
Baofu: Ah? Did I really kill 25 people, you ask?
Don't you mean 25 things?...
I have no inclination that I killed people.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: An assassin helping the police...
That isn't a joke!
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Sneak...There's no reason for us to trust him at all, but we honestly don't have any other leads...
Ulala: The guys sure like to argue, don't they?
At this rate, the problem is never going to be solved.
Baofu: Heh...so the cops are in on it too...
Not that I trusted them to begin with. I hope that wussie's finally waking up.
. the people in the photo .
After meeting with Sneak, but before spreading the rumor and meeting Nate and Ellen.
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: Baofu, "aimed for brats" is too much...
Ms. Amano, the one involved in it, is right here... Don't worry about it, Ms. Amano.
Ulala: I know I've seen this person somewhere.
Ma-ya, was it at your magazine?
Baofu: Isn't Coolest a magazine geared at high school kids?... That means Serizawa is reading a book aimed for brats!?...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: (sigh) Miss Serizawa gets pretty hot-headed.
I doubt we'll be able to talk her out of it, so I guess we have to try...
Ulala: Fine.
I'll show you how "Master Ulala" handles the media!
Baofu: Hey...You sure about this?
I have a bad feeling about this...
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: The secret to baking it puffy... Whip 'til stiff peaks form and mix swiftly... Oh, do not mind me. I'm just talking to myself...
Ulala: Haven't you taken advantage of our friendship enough since high school? Even on our double-date as seniors, you...
Baofu: Maya taking advantage of people, huh?
Hehehe... Well, if that's true, I should be more careful...
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Liquor...I'm not that fond of it.
I used liquor a lot...just not for drinking.
Ulala: My father was weak against alcohol...
Both Mr. Suou and Baofu are big, so it looks like they can drink a lot!
Baofu: It takes a different stomach for alcohol. Body-size has nothing to do with how much you can drink. It's the acetaldehyde...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: The two in the picture...
No one came up a match in our files. It seems there is no previous offense.
Ulala: I've seen this girl in the picture somewhere. You recognize her, Ma-ya?
Hmmm, who is she? A celebrity?
Baofu: We should look at that picture again.
You guys are just looking at the faces. There's a lot more information on it!
>>Etheria
Katsuya: Father was...
...My father was...
Ulala: That Sneak person said something important to Mr. Suou, didn't he? ...Something about ending up just like his dad. What was that?
Baofu: Suou!
Talking to people about it won't solve it, right?
Baofu: Or, do you just want to tell someone to make yourself feel better? In that case, you're not taking life seriously at all!
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: It may not be safe to believe some unknown character. But he, Sneak, knows something!
Something that we don't...
Ulala: Hmm, can we really trust that person called "Sneak"?...I shouldn't really be talking, but that seems kind of careless...
Baofu: We couldn't get to the wire-puller chasing after the Joker this way regardless. Though it was dangerous, we at least got ahead.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Sneak, huh...
I know I've heard that voice before.
Who could it be...?
Ulala: Hey...are you doubting my plan too?
Come on! That's why we have rumors! The sun would set before we find them!
Baofu: A shadow organization...Why don't they be a little more specific? Are we really going to go trust that guy?
. new world order .
Directly after recruiting Nate/Ellen.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: But, considering the information we have so far...the New World Order, no Tatsuzou, has been planning this all along...
Ulala: ...Still, that Nate's really something else. He's rich and quite a catch!!
You've got to go after men like that!
Baofu: If the other person is a Persona user, you can tell things about them by the Persona's resonance. But don't rely on that alone.
Baofu: An expert user can even control the resonance. Like him, you don't know what he's really thinking deep inside.
Baofu: Whether you trust me or not is up to you.
...I warned you.
Nate: Araya...Shrine...In the town I used to live in, there was a shrine with the same name...it couldn't be...
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Nate: That's...Chunky.
A friend of mine from my St. Hermelin days. It's been a while since I've seen him.
Nate: The Persona is another self.
It is an existence that could be called one's worst enemy.
Nate: Those who cannot overcome themselves can be destroyed by the power of Persona. This...is what I learned from him.
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: We don't know who exactly "Sneak" is...
But we have our next clue. O-Of course we have Ms. Serizawa to thank for it.
Ulala: Heh heh. Operation: Rumor Control, is a success!...But if we spread the other one, what would've happened? Don't you wonder?
Baofu: But still...
I'm pretty damn surprised there would be anyone else who would go against Tatsuzou.
Nate: I heard from Ms. Serizawa...
She said Igor can bring back people who become Jokers...
Nate: At the Laboratory we are going to, there should be many victims there.
Depending on the situation...
Nate: By the way, what did you think about Igor?
The nose, correct? The nose bothered you? Hmm...Of course.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: The invitation to the New World Order was targeted at the important people of the mass media and political fields.
Ulala: I don't really get it but, the Joker is just a Persona right?
What can you do by collecting it?
Baofu: Your problem is you would trust anyone.
Just because they appeared from rumors doesn't mean they're on your side.
Nate: I am surprised you are all Persona users.
As they say, birds of a feather.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Sneak...
Why does he know about my father...?
And that voice...I've heard it before.
Ulala: Huh? Are you asking if something happened at the bar? I-It's nothing.
I just put some effort into my acting...
Baofu: Damn...my chin's still shaking.
Women don't know leniency...
I should buy some pain killers.
Nate: Hmmm... So this is the new version...

Recover...!? No, not again!?
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: They are young, but...they aren't that much younger than us, right? Um, not that I'm worried about my age or anything...
Ulala: That kid was talking about Tatsuya, right?...I guess he IS famous.
Baofu: Age doesn't differentiate kids and adults.
It's how they live. That's the question.
...But they're still too childish..
Nate: To make their own world in a place like this to enjoy, is indeed a childish act.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: I come to places like this often because of my job, but I don't think much of them. I guess you feel different in other places.
Ulala: That kinda irritates me. It's like they're saying they live in a different world from us. Don't you think so Ma-ya?
Baofu: I bet people who were brought up well can't understand what's good about this place.
...If you listen, you can hear...
Baofu: Baseball game!? I forgot about it!
The S.F. Really-Big-guys are playing today!
Damn, and I've never missed one before...
Nate: Personally, I do not care for shops like this. But it's a good place to understand others.
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: Abducting people who've become Jokers...
Whatever their motives are, we cannot let them do as they want.
Ulala: That Nate is really something.
He's younger than me and he has so many lackeys?...Wow.
Baofu: I'm starting to think that the New World Order really isn't anything great if those richies can find stuff on them.
Nate: Baofu, perhaps it is not wise to judge the enemy so lightly?
Or are you judging me lightly?
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: I guess women dream of working glamorously. Well, if you're going to work hard, might as well have a brilliant job...
Ulala: Ellen's a model, right?
That's so cool. It looks like a fun job, but it's probably pretty tough.
Baofu: There aren't any easy jobs. Everybody has to work hard, you know? The only ones who make easy money are the bad guys.
Nate: Anyone who is not happy is always jealous of others. As they say, "The grass is always greener on the other side."
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I can't blame you for not trusting the police. Just don't misunderstand...There are still police that won't abuse the law.
Ulala: So weird...Doesn't my life seem to be running backwards on life's highway?...I used to be just a regular office lady, why?
Baofu: When you believe in the media and police, you turn blind to things you normally see. If you notice, there's a big case going on.
Nate: Rumors coming true, it's still unbelievable.
Living in a reality like that, it would be impossible to realize that...

>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: I heard from Ms. Serizawa that your boss seems to hate you.
Well, I can't talk about people either...
Ulala: Oh yeah.
I saw Ma-ya's boss at the bar. You don't get along with her, right?
Baofu: Sidewalk vendors used to sell pictures...
But now every place sells the same ol' kind of stuff...No originality.
Nate: Hmm...Any accessories with the number "1" on it...?
If there are, I will buy them...
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: Isn't that pale girl still a student? Should she be here at a time like this? It's not my department, but I should report this.
Nate: They used to say a fair complexion compensates for poor features...
They don't seem to anymore.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: How many members of the New World Order are in the police department...?...Ch...
Even relatives can't be easily trusted.
Ulala: Why is Bao so skeptical? Did something bad happen after being tricked by someone?
Ah...but...that's the same with me.
Baofu: There's no proof that those two rich kids aren't members of the New World Order.
If they are...We're all screwed.
Nate: To find out if Guido is really alive, and save the captured people. And, if we could find out their plans, that would be perfect.
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: I never expected to become acquainted with somebody in the industry.
Katsuya: ...What do you mean, "Who"?...
You're basically a celebrity, right?
Ulala: Ellen's pictures are in fashion magazines and stuff, huh? I never thought I'd be friends with a real model.
Baofu: Serizawa seems to think of Kirishima as a friend, but what does she think?... There are people who quickly call others "friends".
Nate: This is Kismet Publishing... So what kind of publication is Ms. Amano involved with?
Nate: Coolest...?
My apologies, I've never heard of it.

Katsuya: I would never have thought of using rumors to contact Mr. Nanjo and Ms. Kirishima.
Ms. Serizawa's ingenuity is simply amazing.
Ulala: See? My plan worked!
...What, Ma-ya? Is that the look of admiration? Oh, cut it out!
Baofu: Serizawa's plan is really something. A normal brain won't come up with that.
...But, is it really working?
Nate: Hmm, I haven't seen you in ages. I thought you were in college...
...Working part-time? Here?
Nate: So, you found us by manipulating rumors...
It reminds me of that one saying...
"A drowning man will clutch at straws."
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: I remember that the Sumaru PD had plans to use the Wang Long fortunes for murder investigation. Now that I think about it...
Ulala: Wang Long fortunes ARE true... Being a girl, I get curious about that stuff, even at a time like this... You understand, right?
Baofu: Hey hey, Wang Long fortune telling in such a situation?
...You're so carefree.
Nate: My guardian dragon is a moderate Silver Dragon. I don't think you can split people into 12 types, but... Anyhow, I'm a Silver Dragon.

She seemed very angry. Did something happen?
Ulala: Hmm, you're right, it's none of my business! I was a fool for asking!
I don't care about Baofu's past at all!!
Baofu: Ch...That Ulala is such a whiner...
How long does she plan on being upset!?
Nate: Do Baofu and Ms. Serizawa not get along?
Is it okay for bitter enemies to ride the same boat?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Oh, Ms. Amano, what's wrong?
M-Me?
I was just looking at the merchandise...
Ulala: Ahhh, that's a new one...
Did something happen with Mr. Suou?
Hey Ma-ya! Tell me!
Baofu: What!...
That Suou, turning red...
Amano, what did you do?
Nate: Sergeant Suou even makes that kind of a face...I thought he was an emotionless and unflappable guy...
>>Etheria
Katsuya: Not many women can handle stalkers alone, like Ms. Kirishima can. The law must crack down on them, or else there'll be more victims.
Ulala: Huh, you've been stalked before? A middle-aged... naked man... running around... at night? ...Ma-ya, that's called "streaking".
Baofu: It's too bad for that stalker to target a Persona user... I guess if he had known, he wouldn't have in the first place.
Nate: I heard that Ellen was stalked before, but what is the motivation for stalkers?
Just the thrill of chasing after women?
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: The latest fashion seems to be rather racy...
But, isn't this slit a little TOO much?
...It could increase the crime rate!
Ulala: Mr. Suou dresses fancy himself, but he doesn't seem very familiar with women's fashion. Could he be a cop with a stylist?
Baofu: There are many shops of this kind, but all of the owners are antagonized by the customers. Only a small minority are fans.
Nate: What the? ...These are rather vulgar clothes.
Huh? ...They're popular? They have them in Lunarvale, too? I don't remember at all...

Nate: T...This is a room of a maiden...?
Even if you're busy with work...you should make arrangements for a good butler.

...This should not be...not at this state...
Ulala: Ma-ya, you ever been on a "Wanted" list?
...Yeah right...
What was I thinking...
Baofu: It would be quick if I just bugged the Chief's office... This IS a police station. I wouldn't be able to get there.
Nate: It seems not all of the police are under New World Order control. There seems to be confusion amongst themselves, too.

Only 3 years difference... But still, there's a gap as wide as heaven and hell...
Ulala: Doesn't that Nate look older than I do?
He's just too good...way too proper.
Baofu: You can't touch an angry woman, huh...
Or is that just Ulala?
Geez... I'm never playing that role again.
Nate: In the end, Fate is in Heaven's hands...
No matter what you use to predict with, the principle will not change.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: Counseling, huh...I should bring Tatsuya here. Maybe then I could understand what he's thinking.
Ulala: Huh? Where's Mary?...
Where'd she go...Is today her day off?
You think she was caught by Joker hunters!?
Ulala: ...Yeah right.
She's not me.
Baofu: ...But still, this city's got a lot of Persona users. It's hell for a Persona-hater like me...
Nate: I see...Mary is working here...
...For better or for worse, it's like her to choose this. She's become strong...
Nate: N...?
Now that I think of it, does Ellen know about this?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Nate: Ugh...Sh, Shoot...!
Again...with the brainwashing...
I should have used earplugs!
Nate: Hit point...
...!? Th, This is bad...At this rate...
Recover...er...er...er...
NARUMI: Sewer
>>Entrance
Katsuya: You have good friends, Mr. Nanjo...
If only Tatsuya was like that...
Ulala: Another good-looking man?...
He looks good, all wild and stuff...
I want to take him down... I mean out!
Baofu: I can't play along with this friends crap.
Let's get going.
Nate: The red door is Mary in the 1st room, and the blue door is Chris in the 2nd...
Call them on the walkie-talkie.
Nate: We can't turn back once we head in. Are you ready?
>>Relay Point 1
Katsuya: A friendship that doesn't need words...
I envy Mr. Nanjo...
Ulala: We've known each other for awhile, too.
Well, relationships shouldn't be judged by a length of time.
Baofu: I'm not so sure about that...
In the end, humans are alone...
Nate: But Ellen did something she didn't need to.
I didn't contact them since they have a close connection with Guido...
Nate: They understand that, and they are probably enduring their will to go...
They are the ones that I acknowledge...
>>Relay Point 2
Katsuya: It seems that everyone here is "awkward"...
Awkward at living...
Ulala: To become an adult, you have to learn a bunch of dirty stuff...
Deceiving people, using people...
Ulala: To top things off, you end up lying to yourself, and never understand it all...
Baofu: Politics can't be suppressed by just fancy words...That's just what the people who look down on others say. I'm against that...
Nate: I just found out recently we bought out all the Sebec scientists and knowledge to team with the government for more research.
Nate: The system Guido made...the DVA system, as well as his other research, could be of incredible benefit, you know...
Nate: So, that's how we teamed with Tatsuzou.
Before we knew of the New World Order, we unwittingly helped them...
Nate: It's a foolish story...When I think of all the feelings of those who were involved, there's no way I could ever make it up...
NARUMI: Science Lab
>>Security Room
Katsuya: Human experiments, huh...
Abduction, confinement, mistreatment, and homicide... Grave crimes indeed...
Katsuya: But then again, we are violating the law by intruding on private property...
Ulala: You're a softy, you know, but this guy's one, too...
Ulala: Alright, let The Big Sisters save his dumb friend!...
Baofu: (sigh) What a load we gotta carry. I'm not responsible for anything that happens...
Nate: I admire his feelings to save a friend...
You should always care for a friend.
>>Trish's Fountain
Nate: We too have been through hard times due to that fairy... She seems to have grown a little, but her greed is just as before...
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Penthouse
Katsuya: Normally, I wouldn't accept intervention by normal civilians...
But I guess it's fine for Persona users...
Ulala: Wow, this is gorgeous... So, this is the Hotel Pleiades' penthouse...
Rich people ARE different.
Baofu: Hey Amano...
What the hell did you tell me to say?...
What do you mean, cross-dressing!?
Baofu: Y, You...
Of course she'd get angry...
Nate: That laboratory has tight security. It's impossible to infiltrate from the ground.
But, there's a way in through the sewers.
Nate: Let's go to the sewage plant.
Ellen: I'm worried about Mr. Kandori, but if fortune telling is being used for evil, I can't let Wang Long Chizuru get by with it.
>>Ebony
Katsuya: Narumi is really calm...
There aren't many accidents or crimes. It's a great place to live.
Ulala: We've been here before, huh? You know, the gourmet magazine guy told us about this place!...You don't remember?...Geez!!
Ulala: But still, Narumi has many sensible stores!...
Nate sure lives in a nice place.
Baofu: It's natural for Serizawa to like it here.
Narumi has developed over 10 years...
You can call it the "new face" of Sumaru.
Nate: No one has lived here for very long, so people like Ellen and I can act without suspicion. That is why I chose Narumi.
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: Despite their ages, Mr. Nanjo and Miss Kirishima have more experience than us...
We can learn from them.
Ulala: Nate and Ellen are also Persona users!
Are there that many in this world? I'm kind of disappointed.
Baofu: Wait, Suou! I'm the most experienced with Personas...
Shouldn't you learn from me?
Nate: Baofu? I don't think it's a matter of experience...You don't have to say it so triumphantly.
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa, I wish you wouldn't say things that could trigger a crime...
Don't tell me, you don't get it?
Ulala: Wow, such a beautiful necklace!! Look!
...You like it? Then buy it!! Can't you write it off as a business expense?
Baofu: Amano, forging business expenses and making unjustified claims is embezzlement...
Nate: This store has a nice variety of items.
But something is missing...
They should put a "1" in the center of it.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: So, they're Persona users, too.
It's like they say, birds of a feather.
Ulala: Oh, yeah.
Nate and Ellen should already know about this place.
Baofu: That boy and that girl really know how to handle their Personas, even though they're younger than us.
Nate: I have used this place quite often.
Personas are useful not only in fighting, but in normal social settings as well.
Nate: My friend, who's become a salesman, uses his power to succeed in his career.
Now if only Chris was that clever...
. let's think positive! .
Crashing Ginji Sasaki's seminar at Smile Mall.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: To atone for his sin...
What is Tatsuya trying to do...?
Ulala: I can't believe that even the Wang Long fortune telling was part of their plan...
I'm so stupid to have been a believer...
Baofu: Why do you think the penthouse was attacked? They know where we are.
Even right now they may be watching us.
Baofu: I know we haven't done anything stupid like let them follow us. I can't imagine of anything besides that Sneak.
Nate: If I could have, I did not want to involve Mary or Chris...
Is Sebec still haunting us...?
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: They say that if you do not attend the seminars, you will eventually be possessed by the Joker...
Katsuya: They're way ahead of us. This makes it quite bad for us.
Tatsuzou...what are you planning to do next?
Ulala: We'll fight back with rumors, too.
We can say like, Wang Long Chizuru is a liar or there is no such thing as Kegare...
Ulala: ...or not...
Rumors like that aren't going to go far...
And besides, we don't have enough time.
Baofu: That Matsuoka guy's something. I'm surprised that there's a guy like that in this day and age. Perfect for that thickheaded rich boy.
Nate: It seems that Chris was able to escape safely. Still, even he is in this city...
Is this all mere coincidence?
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: I wonder if we caught what you have...
Lately, I've had deja vu as well. I feel that something happened at Smile Mall.
Ulala: Wasn't the NWO gathering Jokers?
That's why they're hunting for them...But aren't normal people going to the seminar?
Ulala: Oh yeah. They just need to get Kegare.
Huh? But what about the Joker?...
Oh geez...I have no clue.
Baofu: It's hard to compete if they keep using mass media to manipulate information...
The power of the media is troublesome.
Nate: Four years...since the Sebec scandal...
But, his time had stopped then.
And...mine as well.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: They caused the fortune telling fad in order to spread the Joker curse and collect the power that resulted from it...
Ulala: Let's see...first they announced that people who do the Joker curse become Jokers.
So, I went through all that horrible stuff...
Ulala: And now, you'll become a Joker if you don't go to the seminar to be have your Kegare removed? There's just no escape from this.
Baofu: There's no such thing as an impure human...
But how much Kegare could you possibly get from just ordinary people?
Baofu: There's gotta be something behind it...
Not just to gather Kegare, but some other reason...
Nate: That Guido is undoubtedly the real one.
He remembers about our fight at Sebec, and about me. Then why...is he...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I think I'll believe that Sneak. But it's a fact that the information is leaking...
We had better not be tricked...
Ulala: Wasn't Ginji Sasaki the producer who became successful from his fortune? I read it was because of Wang Long.
Ulala: I heard that he's a producer for the group called "Muses". He's starting to become big.
Baofu: Even if we crashed one of the seminars, it's not going to change much...It'll be good if we can meet him somehow.
Nate: It's quite funny when you think about it.
I never imagined that I would go against Guido again with my old friends...
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: The people at the station seemed to be biased toward Kasugayama High School.
Katsuya: No, the biased ones were the adults who forgot what it was like to be young...
Ulala: Eikichi DID show up.
I'm relieved. It wouldn't have been good to keep everyone worried.
Baofu: The most reckless ones get misunderstood. Misfits just want to express themselves.
...There are adults like that, too, right?
Nate: I did judge Eikichi by his looks, and that was a big mistake...However I do wonder about his name "Michel".
HIRASAKA: Smile Mall
>>Women's Room
Ulala: Damn, that Baofu pisses me off...
He calls me an idiot all the time!
Nate: Let's go now.
The guys are waiting for us.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: What do the regulars come here for?
Her amusing tales?...Or the special menu?
No...that's nonsense.
Ulala: Ugh! What the heck?!
Look at this Ma-ya, "red bean dumplings"!
I've never even heard of that.
Baofu: "Banana ramen" and "red bean dumplings"?
They don't even have stuff like that in Hong Kong!
Nate: There are foods here I have never eaten.
Hmm, Japanese culture is truly diverse. I was getting tired of the same stuff...
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: I had a dream once where many incidents happened one after the other.
Could it have been a premonition?
Ulala: You know those dream diagnostics?
Isn't it like you dream the opposite of what's in your heart?...Or something.
Baofu: Suou had a dream where the police station was bombed. Maybe he wants to kill his boss?
Nate: Dreams could reflect reality.
I have had dreams where the Satomi Tadashi song was loved by everyone.
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: Tatsuya...Why...
Why won't you tell me anything!?
......What are you...
Ulala: Poor Nate.
It may be for his future, but at a time like that?
Baofu: I have a feeling that the New World Order is just manipulating us.
...We should act cautiously.
Nate: A power that resurrects the dead...Guido...
Does Kotodama hold such great power!?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: There have been claims that this song has brainwashing effects. Maybe it needs to be investigated? But there's no time now.
Ulala: Original theme songs are kind of cool.
Let's start making our own, with our names! Woo-lala, U-lala... Whatcha think? ...Hey!!
Baofu: They say liquor and songs are inseparable...
But I still can't get into Karaoke.
Nate: Again...that chain store's music is...Ahh!
That song is stuck in my head!...Ms. Amano, do you have songs that stay in your head?
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: I asked a customer there, and until awhile ago, Tatsuya used to show up here often too. But, he hasn't been seen lately...
Ulala: Do the people here not watch TV?
How can they be playing around.
Baofu: Blackjack against a frickin' machine...
How dull.
Nate: I cannot get in the mood for casinos right now...I sacrificed many subordinates.
I was at fault.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: If we take too long, even we will end up becoming Jokers...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
Shouldn't we stop that girl over there? Right? If she goes to that seminar...
Ulala: But, if we don't, she'll become a Joker. And I can't just ignore her either...
What should we do?
Baofu: That bastard Tatsuzou...He plans to steal the "sin" of the people in the city? S##T...!
What is his plan...I can't figure it out...
Nate: No man has a bigger ego than Guido.
At least I can't think of him as a leader of an organization. He is up to something...
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: But...even if collecting Kegare is possible, what are they going to use it for...What kind of power does it have?
Ulala: Must be able to get a lot of Kegare from that guy. Should we take him to the seminar?
Baofu: Even rumors become true. It's no surprise if people's kegare has some sort of power.
Nate: They realize our existence. The seminar must be the showing of their restlessness.
...Or maybe they don't even see us...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Is that...really Tatsuya...?
Like that girl said, he is almost like another person...What is he hiding?...
Ulala: It ends up we were saved by Tatsuya again.
He always shows up with perfect timing. But, he's sure not normal.
Ulala: The eyes say as much as the mouth...
That kid's eyes are just so painful...
Like he is carrying everyone's misery...
Ulala: Mr. Suou and Tatsuya...They seem to be opposites, but they're exactly alike when it comes to clumsiness.
Baofu: It's likely the work of the New World Order, but why did they kill the boy's underlings?
It wasn't needed if they were just watching.
Baofu: They wanted to get us away from there...
Or was it just to make their presence felt...
Or is it some kind of preparation...
Nate: Though not as much as Matsuoka, the subordinates are all decently trained...
To think of defeating all of them...
Nate: It seems...
We might have been underestimating them...
AOBA: Sumaru TV
Katsuya: It's not like Baofu to judge someone solely on their words.
Katsuya: Could it be... that he thought only he was special?
Ulala: Is that Brad Uesugi!?...
So, the Uesugi who helped Ellen was the celebrity, Brad Uesugi.
Ulala: Hmmmm...
Baofu: Even someone like that can be a Persona user. I always thought it took a special talent or something.
Nate: ...Yes!! I knew the L.A. Doggers are the No. 1 team! Players, coaches, and owner... everything is first-class...
Nate: The nature of Persona... From those words, it may be hard to believe, but he was chosen by Philemon.
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: I would like to believe that "Sneak"...
It's easy to doubt, but then, you will never reach the truth...
Ulala: Ma-ya, you ever been on a "Wanted" list?
...Yeah right...
What was I thinking...
Baofu: Tapping only works against amateurs...
If they figure it out, I'm in danger instead. The enemy would call knowingly.
Baofu: It's a simple process of elimination...Who have we contacted?...Then, out of those, who is still unfamiliar to us?
Baofu: At this rate we're lagging behind.
Where the information leak is... That is what we gotta find out.
Nate: We disabled the security completely.
Guido knew that we were coming...
...The information has been leaking...
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: Was that...really Tatsuya... He had a Persona, and was skilled in movement...
He's so different from the one I know...
Ulala: I wonder why... I've felt that I've seen Tatsuya at GOLD before...
That can't be...
Ulala: The "Deja Vu Boy"...
I don't believe that it's not just for you, but for me as well...
Baofu: "Deja vu" is just the mind playing tricks...
It occurs when the brain confuses recent memories with past memories.
Baofu: That's why several people don't have one chance in a million to experience the same "deja vu".
Baofu: If that does happen, then it means it's something other than "deja vu'...I don't know what that something is, though.
Nate: That boy named Tatsuya... It seems that he is Sergeant Suou's younger brother.
A family of Persona users...
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: The penthouse incident...
Was that the work of Sneak...?
...But...
Ulala: Wang Long was a ploy...(sigh)... Why am I so easily duped? I have no luck...
Not just with men, but with fortunes, too.
Ulala: On some level or another, I was right to go along with you. Before, I would've cheerfully gone to the seminar.
Baofu: That Sneak may have leaked information to get us to find rich boy and rich girl.
Nate: People may question our methods, but everything has its useful purpose....
We have something we must protect.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: Opening such a massive seminar, they must anticipate us coming too...
Ginji Sasaki may be the sacrifice.
Ulala: Nate and the others seem to be fighting in a different world.
The destiny of the past...huh.
Baofu: We still can't find the whereabouts of Tatsuzou. He might be at the seminar...
Where could he be preparing for it...
Nate: He was seriously going to kill Eikichi...
If that lad Tatsuya did not come in, Eikichi would have been dead...But...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Up until now, there could've been battles going on in places we didn't know about. Baofu probably knew this...
Ulala: After seeing that...
You kinda get the real sense that we're taking on a formidable group...
Baofu: There's no point in getting scared now?...
They already know our faces. Even if you run away, the results will be the same.
Nate: The enemy might have waited for us to leave for the lab before attacking the penthouse...If only I was there...
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Katsuya: The consensus belief is that people are inherently good...I do believe that no one is born bad, but then again...
Katsuya: People always blame anything "bad" on other people or on their luck...I don't like that idea of "Kegare"...
Ulala: Uh...Detective, that was painful to hear...
A little fortune telling or cursing isn't that bad...No one's ever serious about it...
Baofu: I thought about it a little bit... As far as we know, what the New World Order wants most is "Kegare", right?...
Baofu: That's why they made Jokers by using rumors...Kegare is the dark side that humans conceal...Things like "sin" and "evil"...
Baofu: The easiest sin to understand is murder...
That's why they hunt Jokers, who are like this mass of Kegare...I know that much.
Baofu: But then why are they collecting Kegare of normal humans also? What about the "pure" humans? There must be something to it...
Nate: They say they don't believe in it, but yet, they inadvertently rely on fortunes and curses... That is what mankind does.
Nate: Man is not that strong. I do not deny that but I would think twice before I get too involved. That is the state of this city.
Ellen: "Kegare"...I hear it often in religion.
In other words, concepts such as "evil" or "ill fate" cause man to commit "sin".
Ellen: Committing a sin or the cause of bad luck is all because of Kegare...That's why there are still acts of purification.
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: I believe that looks matter too...Like desserts, you can enjoy what you see.
I'm not saying that looks are everything!
Ulala: That cocktail looks pretty...
I wonder if another drink looks better?
Baofu: A "pretty cocktail", huh... Why do women like pretty things so much?...
What matters is the inside, right?
Nate: That bartender says some good things. But it is difficult to be tolerant with everyone.
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: At this rate, New World Order will prevail! Is there a way for us to stop them?...
Are our actions...part of their plans?
Ulala: Huh? That lady with heavy make-up is saying something about "positive".
Is that your influence?
Baofu: Using the media to do the dirty work...
Not bad, New World Order...
It's scary to take on the public.
Nate: Being cautious is important, but deceiving yourself with good thoughts is sheer folly, is it not?...
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Eikichi Mishina and...Jun Kashihara...
Both students of Kasu High School...
What are their connections with Tatsuya?
Ulala: That guy...Eikichi, wasn't it? It seems like he has some ties with Tatsuya...
Odd how they don't know each other...
Baofu: Why is Suou's brother fighting the New World Order? Even if he had a good reason, there is no need to fight alone.
Nate: That lad...Suou, wasn't it?...
I should have been like him...
It is enough just for me to be hurt.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Even if we stopped the Smile Mall seminars, that's just the tip of the iceburg. We need to go further...
Ulala: Kegare, huh... What is the New World Order trying to do by collecting that stuff?
I don't like not knowing that.
Baofu: They know our actions. Those seminars might be trapped too...We've gotta make the first move to find out.
Nate: Igor...
Is he talking about Guido...
. like father, like son .
The second meeting with Sneak at Aoba Park.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Ulala: Wang Long's no good, so maybe I'll pray here in true traditional Japanese style...
For a special encounter...
Baofu: Resonance?
They seem dormant...but are those kids Persona users as well?
Nate: A mysterious case linked to Guido and Personas...Perhaps it is not a coincidence that Araya Shrine is here.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Ulala: Hey...this one's giving me a dirty look.
I'm gonna eat ya!
Baofu: What the hell is Ulala doing?
Has she gone nuts?
Nate: We cannot expect results from just crushing one of the seminars...I wonder how many people have been brainwashed already...
>>Time Castle
Ulala: Don't ya think there have been a lot of people who've experienced deja vu lately?
A coincidence? I kinda doubt that...
Baofu: That Ginji Sasaki had eyes like that woman over there.
I guess she's already been brainwashed...
Nate: Not only do those joining in the seminar get their Kegare divested, but they are also brainwashed to obey the New World Order.
Nate: Brainwashing... How peculiar...
I have a feeling something simlar to this has happened before...
>>Kaori
Ulala: Oh, it's another world here.
I feel so relaxed! I felt so sick after seeing that ooze.
Ulala: Just thinking that stuff is running through me...
Ugh...it's disgusting...
Baofu: Sasaki was able to use the Joker Persona because of the ooze put in him...
Kegare creates Personas, huh...
Nate: They must be holding seminars in other places as well. I am hoping our information we spread will keep people away from them...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Why are they all like, "let's be positive" just from being brainwashed?
It's like tons of Ma-yas running around!
Baofu: If they can brainwash so many at once...
How long would it take to brainwash everyone in Sumaru City?
Nate: A device that takes human evil...Without Guido, it would not have been completed.
But I didn't know they made more...
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Ulala: At first glance this place looks dirty, but if you look carefully, it's kind of clean.
Ulala: I'd like to make my room like this too, what do you think?
Huh, Ma-ya?
Baofu: Hehhehheh.
Amano, that must be pain to your ears, eh?
Your guys' room...is way too dirty.
Nate: Even if it is pretty, if it looks dirty, wouldn't it be a problem?...
Well, it's better than really being dirty.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Ulala: The Shiraishi lady looks like she's living so freely. She must really be enjoying life.
Baofu: Will you just be killed? Or die fighting?
We live in a world where we're given the freedom to accept fate or go against it.
Nate: There are those who would rather be restricted, saying it's easier to be restricted than to be given freedom.
>>Toa Armory
Ulala: There's people who were purified here too.
I guess everyone's scared.
Baofu: At a time like this, it might be beter to be brainwashed instead. They all look happy...Not that I'd want that!
Nate: Life is full of both joy and pain.
And humans are humans because they possess "Kegare". That's what I think.
>>T's Chiropractic
Ulala: So Sneak is a traitor and Mr. Suou is acting on his own. Neither of them are well sorted out...
Baofu: Even if you hang out together, your goals and mentalities are all different. Can't blame Suou. What's most important is yourself.
Nate: Concording lodgings, discording dreams.
Disorder cannot be helped among a group of different individuals...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Hey, everybody is using hard words!!
Ahh, what should we do Ma-ya? We should say something too.
Ulala: Ummm...Molecular Disrupt Assault!!
Come on, Ma-ya, say something! What? Hyper Atomic Counter!? ...Doh!
Baofu: Disappointed in Suou, huh...That's so like Nate. Well to him it was certainly a one in a million chance.
Nate: To my regret, I have to admit I am slightly disappointed in Sergeant Suou's actions.
"Proceed prudently"...Undoubtedly keen words.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Ulala: Casino at a time like this, that's Ma-ya for you. Anytime, anywhere, "Let's be positive!"...I can't lose either!
Ulala: Let's see...
Which game will I play today...
I shall become a millionaire!
Baofu: Is this the time to be playing at a casino?
I feel I just saw the connection between you and Ulala...
Nate: In a hard battle, occasional relaxation can be understandable...
However! Discretion is an important factor.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Ulala: If that girl who talks like a ninja would work at a Japanese restaurant, it would suit her well...Like the Gatten Sushi.
Baofu: Well...What to do now...
It would be much easier if we could just find out where Tatsuzou is...
Nate: Being like this reminds of old times...
There are not all good memories either...
>>Tony's Shop
Ulala: All the accessories here are rip offs of some other place.
How can they get away with this...?
Baofu: The point up until crashing the seminar was well-done, but wasn't there a better way? My best suit is all dirty.
Nate: Turns out the only one that was at Smile Mall was Ginji Sasaki... And he is just a follower of the New World Order...
Nate: Could it have been that the entire seminar was a decoy...
>>Bikini Line
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, that Aki dude asked me to go out with him for a meal...
He wishes...!
Baofu: Ulala's bad habit is she can't ignore someone who angers her. It's just a matter of time before she gets taken again.
Nate: I was surprised when returning to Japan, to see so many tan women now. Are they putting something on their faces?...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Mmm?
A candy that is not fattening...? It still has rather high calories...
Ulala: Huh...you don't worry much about these things.
How do you eat so much and not get fat?... Does your stomach have a hole in it?
Baofu: Is it true that if you drink a lot of milk, it makes it harder to get drunk?
I never tried it or anything...
Nate: We should buy a lot of medicine.
If we run out on the way, we are just targets for Trish...
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Ulala: Being honest with yourself is good...
Well, being a nuisance isn't good, though.
Baofu: (Sigh)...Suou is so blunt.
He's so blunt, it's embarrassing to watch...
Well, I guess that's his good trait.
Nate: Sergeant Suou's actions were expected.
As long as one is human, being ruled by emotions cannot be helped sometimes...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Ulala: You can't trust a person named "Sneak", can you? I wonder if Mr. Suou really trusts that person?
Baofu: There's less room for opinion in a big organization. I wouldn't be surprised if someone betrayed New World Order...Maybe?
Nate: "Sneak"...the name of a coward...He must do more harm than good for them, since he speaks of himself as a coward, right?
>>2x Slash
Ulala: Mr. Suou went alone, but I wonder if it's a trap...I think it is.
Baofu: Serizawa, if you think it's a trap, don't suggest chasing Suou!
...I don't want any trouble, you hear me?
Nate: Regardless of the situation, I think it is too dangerous to use the same location for the rendezvous.
>>Parabellum
Ulala: Mr. Matsuoka... never changes his expression.
I wonder if he's good at poker?
Baofu: Does he intend to make Nate into some Samurai General?
Baofu: Not every elite leader can use a subordinate's life effectively.
Nate: Please do not worry about Matsuoka. This was my decision...
To never commit the same mistake again.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Giving information on New World Order is okay, but won't the media twist it?
Baofu: I expect New World to control information.
Well, if somebody broadcasts the truth, the public won't buy the information...I think.
Nate: Bad news travels fast, I see...
Unfavorable news for the New World Order certainly is more appealing to people.
>>Etheria
Ulala: The people who attended the purification seminar say the same kind of thing... I wonder why?
Baofu: "Positive" seems to be the buzzword, but all they are doing is just saying it. It doesn't look like they are doing it.
Nate: They say "positive", but they are really just acting out New World Order plans.
Who would believe that kind of delusion?
>>Rosa Candida
Ulala: Ginji Sasaki was in the New World Order also.
So, is Muses part of the New World Order too!?
Baofu: If they had pop music groups under their command, they'd be using that. They can gather many more people than that producer.
Baofu: ...Serizawa jumps to conclusions too fast.
Nate: If they had used Muses as a magnet, they should have been able to get any youth with a slight interest, regardless of their Kegare.
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Ulala: (sigh)...
And I just took out the trash...
It's not easy separating the recyclables!
Baofu: It seems that there are no taps here...
...Hmm?...What am I doing?...
Force of habit, I guess...
Nate: Ms. Serizawa was grumbling that she always has to clean the house.
...Is that true?
KONAN: Police Station
Ulala: Give me ¥100, woof
Give me ¥100, woof.
...How's that, Ma-ya, do I sound like him?
Baofu: If they're gonna put out warrants, why don't they try going after bigger fish.
Should I put up a picture of Tatsuzou?
Nate: What is wrong with Ms. Serizawa?...
She has been staring at that dog statue all day. She must like it very much...
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Ulala: Is that barkeeper even looking at us?
I can't even tell if his eyes are open...
Baofu: You know the..."Goumaden"?
You see, it was on that model ship on the counter...
Nate: Hmm?...
Is this flag real?
Where did he get such an item?
>>Sumaru Genie
Ulala: Is it okay to believe in this place?
There was that incident with Wang Long...
Shouldn't we be a little more careful?
Baofu: Like God, I don't believe in fortunes either. Do whatever you want, but don't waste too much cash.
Nate: Lately, people lack the courage to decide for themselves, and rely on fortunes for their life decisions.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Ulala: See, Ma-ya.
That guy's also acting strange...
I wonder if he went to some seminar.
Baofu: That's the purified figure that New World Order talked about?...Don't kid me...
Tatsuya Sudou looked more sane than that.
Nate: It is impossible to heal the people who have been brainwashed, without recovering the Kegare extracted from them.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Ulala: Really, Satomi Tadashi is always the same. Even the owners are the same...
I get confused which ward I'm in...
Baofu: It's fine that they sell a bunch of stuff, but don't buy anything we don't need. I don't want to become the baggage boy.
Nate: I'll sing along..."La-la-la...
Hit point...If you're gonna recover...
...Use ointment...La-la-la"
Nate: ...!?
(ahem)...(ahem)...
Do you want something?
Nate: L...Lately pharmacies have had a large selection.
R...Really, I am most impressed.
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Ulala: Is tapping really that enjoyable?
Is it like reading someone else's diary?...
But, that's kind of wrong...
Baofu: ...Geez...I wish these guys would cut it out.
Nate: Invasion of privacy is not acceptable and neither is disclosing it. I don't know why people reveal their diaries on the net.
Ellen: Speaking of tapping, some of the models said a stalker set tapping devices in their rooms. Could it be that Baofu helped...!?
Baofu: Hell no!
My targets are only ones with a dark rumor.
Baofu: I'd never help a weenie little stalker!
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Ulala: That strange man by the window, he looks suspicious...
Should we report him to Detective Suou?
Ulala: ...He's not here right now, though.
Baofu: Changing people by rumors?...
Conjuring people by rumors?...
That strange man is the latter.
Nate: One who holds many fortunes will be doubted by many...
It cannot be helped.
>>Clair de Lune
Ulala: Those who receive absolution think they are impure, right?...
What are they basing that off of?
Baofu: Because people have a sense of guilt, they automatically have a fear toward Kegare, right?...
Nate: Attending the seminar to cleanse oneself of sin...It is analogous to buying a ticket of innocence.
>>Padparacha
Ulala: Do dependable women have an advantage?
(sigh)...I look after people too much...
I think I've lost much...
Baofu: ...Needy women? Is Serizawa saing that while looking at that woman there? Anyway I look at it, that is vicious extorsion.
Nate: Gains and losses meaning profit?
Ms. Amano, does love have gains and losses?
And, what can be gained!?...Puzzled?
ALL: Velvet Room
Ulala: Mr. Suou is normally very calm, but he really gets intense when it's about that Sneak.
Baofu: Sneak, eh...
Won't show himself and won't tell us who he is. How can you trust someone like that?
Nate: Matsuoka has connections in the media. We can count on him to publicize the information about the New World Order.
. the next step? .
Directly after Aoba, before Baofu intercepts the phone call between Yung Pao and Tatsuzou.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: I used to see children playing here often...but not anymore. I suppose people no longer care about the old things.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: Sneak...
I knew I'd heard that voice before...
Why didn't I realize it right away!
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: If we carelessly destroy the Kegare machine, we'll just end up like Ginji Sasaki...
How can we return the Kegare to the people?
>>Kaori
Katsuya: I just...wanted to find out the truth.
...I don't hate the Chief.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: No matter what, he is only human. Humans can make mistakes...
But how far can the law punish a person...
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: Cleaning is basic to the sales business. It's not like you use your own rooms to do business, so as long as it's fairly neat.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: The ability to choose how to live your life is precious. Everyone has that freedom in some way...This nation is truly peaceful.
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: Brainwashing disguised as purification...
It's most devious to use fear to control people...It's unforgivable.
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: ...I put precedence on personal issues.
I apologize.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: ...I am sorry. It wasn't the actions of someone who is dedicated selflessly.
I am very regretful.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, I understand that you are upset right now, but escaping reality is not going to solve anything.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: That girl's been brainwashed too...
We must do something in a hurry. There is going to be more victims.
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: To think even the Captain was a member of the New World Order...It's no wonder the murder cases were not getting resolved...
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: By the way, I forgot to thank you. If Miss Amano and everyone hadn't come along, I probably would have been defeated.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa told me...What does she mean by "having a hole" in the stomach?
Could you swallow swords then?
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: I have been blind to myself...
I have nothing to say.
AOBA: Sumaru TV
Katsuya: The top of this TV station is linked to New World Order. Even the truth behind the Chief's death will be misinterpreted.
Ulala: The information that the Chief risked his life over is all going in the New World Order's favor... That's so sad.
Baofu: Not just here, but all media will report the New World Order's advantage...
Are there any TRUE journalists out there?
Nate: The New World Order information operation does not end in this country. They have already expanded it worldwide.
Nate: So far we have discovered 11 countries...
In each country, the New World Order is somehow involved in the government press.
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: The chief was father's best friend, and yet, he betrayed him...
What am I to say to father?
Ulala: Mr. Suou looks troubled.
It must be even more difficult since I'm not involved.
Baofu: There's no use in hiding it now.
Isn't that why nothing was said, because even Suou's pops knew?
Nate: That police chief must've been a weak soul.
This wouldn't have happened if he realized beforehand that he couldn't be a villain...
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: If my father wasn't involved, Tatsuya wouldn't have been the way he is now.
Katsuya: ...Father, me, Tatsuya... We were all involved in the New World Order's plan.
Ulala: Mr. Suou's brother seems to know a lot, but do you think he knows about his father as well?
Baofu: Can you imagine how many people fell victim to the New World Order? Don't think we're the only ones.
Nate: Men are expected to exceed their fathers. Regardless of the truth, the confrontation of that boy and his father was inevitable.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Mr. Nanjo's decision...
Not many men at that age can carry others' lives on their shoulders like that.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: For the chief to put his life at stake and have the result end this way...
Ulala: Our actions backfired...
(Sigh)...How disappointing.
Baofu: Damn, we got toasted...
Forget it, let's think of our next move.
Nate: So the information manipulation was part of their plan. It seems that they are a step ahead of us.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: They claim to purify and attempt to instill New World Order beliefs on people. But aren't they just doing what they've been taught?
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Even if the top people are New World Order members, it doesn't mean the others are...
You know what I mean?
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: I understand you're into your work, but think about what you're willing to give up.
You don't live to work.
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: I reported the Chief and Captain to our allies. There may still be traitors, but I can't let this go unreported.
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: Thinking about it, I haven't settled down at a cafe and had coffee for years...
Well, I don't have time for that now...
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Fortune telling itself was a foundation of New World Order. We can't do anything now with the power of fortune telling.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: That New World Order seems to have different values than us. As criminals, they are the very ill-natured type.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Lately, there has been a lot of teens shoplifting. These stores are easy prety.
...What is the world coming to.
Katsuya: Breaking the law breeds criminals, minor or not. One mistake can shape their lives.
By then it's too late...
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: It's not like "suspicious" means criminal in every case. Suspicious people always end up becoming the topics of rumors.
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: Even if they didn't do anything, many people get nervous when they see a cop.
Does everyone have some sort of secret?
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Vicious extorsion?...
Hmm, I suspect it could be blackmail. Where? Are they in this store!?
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: It is a crime to break a law...But I believe the Chief was civil. There are feelings that can't be explained by logic alone...
Ulala: I kinda feel bad for the Chief. I mean, he's been living with guilt, and then it turns out he was just being used by them...
Baofu: No matter who it is, I respect any person who tries to do something even if it costs them their life...Didn't expect that, huh?
Nate: I cannot believe that they had meant for us to publicize the information...
The Chief must be turning in his grave...
. once upon a time in china .
After Baofu intercepts the phone call and separates from the party to go to the abandoned factory.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: We shouldn't have spread that rumor about the New World Order...
They were one step ahead of us!
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
Do you think it was a mistake that we spread the stuff about the New World Order...
Nate: On the way here, I saw something that looked like a cave...Could it be Mt. Iwato of Araya...?
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: If we stir up chaos here, that'll be just how they want it. Isn't there anything we can do...
Ulala: That boss is really manly! It'd be nice if everyone in the city was like that...or would that be too loud?
Nate: That boy named Eikichi seems to be the boss' son...but it looks like he hasn't returned home yet...
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: The impure humans will be destroyed by the New World Order... So they want to be purified...? Why are they such followers?
Ulala: I've had episodes of deja vu lately, too...
...But it's kinda different...It feels like I'm about to remember something.
Nate: ...That proprietor...
He calls himself a Count...
Something bothers me about him.
>>Kaori
Katsuya: I can't believe the information the Chief risked his life to spread turned out to help their plan...
Ulala: Hey, Ma-ya...
Sorry to bring up an old subject, but...it bothers me...
Ulala: Why do rumors become reality? I was thinking about it myself...
It must be the cause of everything.
Nate: The end of the world caused by Wang Long...
And the Torifune...
This is the rumor the Chief spread...
Nate: It is true that the information we spread has increased their credibility.
...How careless of us!
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: The Nanjo information network is amazing. They've spread the Torifune story so quickly...
Ulala: Oh my...
They're all talking about the Torifune here too? What should we do?
Nate: World destruction because of Wang Long...Ameno Torifune...these aren't things that normal people would believe.
Nate: The events that the New World Order caused served as a stepping stone for this information manipulation. We're such fools!
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: Trust, friendship...
Tatsuya must have friends as well...
Why does he choose to be all by himself...?
Ulala: It's nice having high school friends. They say THAT friendship lasts the looooongest! Ma-ya and I have known each other awhile!
Nate: ...My dream? I don't have any dreams.
To become number one in this country is a reality that I must accomplish.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: The prophecy of the end, like the Grand Cross not long ago, really affects people psychologically...It creates uneasiness.
Ulala: Everyone must be worried at a time like this. I'm an adult, so I can just drink it all away, but...
Ulala: In that sense, adults are unfair!
What about the poor kids who can't drink? Poor things...
Nate: Ellen says we have ideals about mystic things. If you believe that, there must be those enjoying this situation right now.
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: There are 2 reasons to drink. To enjoy the act itself, and to escape reality.
...I wonder what's Baofu's reason?
Ulala: (sigh) I just want to get away from it all.
Maybe I should have a drink...Wait, if I rely on alcohol, I'll be the same as Bao!
Nate: Drinking to escape reality...It's foolish.
You must overcome reality to reach the future. Don't you think so?
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: This broadcast after the Joker case.
As long as people are uneasy, people will believe in anything.
Ulala: How dumb to fall into the enemy's trap. But I wish nobody would believe that rumor.
Then the NWO plans would fail, right?
Nate: There is no use regretting that we fell into the New World Order's trap.
We must think of what to do next.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: We may be the cause, but New World Order are the ones who set it up to be that way.
...We have no time to be feeling down.
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya...
This is all New World Order's fault, right?
It's not...our fault, right?
Nate: Is it the trickster's or the victim's fault?
It all depends on which side one takes. No one wants to admit their faults.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: I don't expect you to follow my orders...but...just don't over exert yourself.
Ulala: (sigh)...
I was doing so good at bingo...
I shouldn't have betted on red...
Nate: For one to accomplish one's goal...strong luck is also needed...
Some training here may be beneficial.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: Why does...Tatsuya always show up everywhere before us...?
We will have to catch him and ask him.
Ulala: Why does everything we do turn out to be the opposite!?...Urrr!...That does it!
Ma-ya, want to pig-out? Let's pig-out!
Nate: Please stop Ms. Serizawa. For us to lose our cool at times like this, is exactly what they want.
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: How much time does it take for a rumor to come true? It is unlikely for the Torifune to just suddenly start moving.
Ulala: If we didn't stick our nose into this, the city never would of went into panic...?
Tell me I'm wrong.
Nate: If this much information is passed through, New World Order's plan is successful...
In that case...their next plan is...
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: After all, even though we fight, our reasons are all different...
...Well...maybe it's only natural.
Ulala: Hmm...A "whitening" course.
Isn't this a tanning salon? How do they "whiten" you?
Nate: But...Even for recovery purposes, I feel uncomfortable coming in here. I have no desire to tan my skin for looks...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Ms. Serizawa's stress affects her stomach.
Well, the situation is only getting worse... I know the feeling.
Ulala: Owwwwwww...
My stomach is starting to hurt... Pass the pink bottle...
Nate: Is there a CD that has this song?
I...mean...
Not that I really want it or anything...
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: Lately there have been so many cases, the people in the city must be unsure. Thus, a basis of belief in New World Order is done.
Ulala: The TV station and magazines believe the New World Order's stories and then pass it to the people, so this makes it credible?
Nate: We may have missed the fact that the world is constantly changing. Perpetual change...
This outcome could have been predicted.
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: How long was the New World Order planning such a thing...?
Did we underestimate our enemy?
Ulala: A normal person would not think of making the Sumaru city float in the sky...
Can that really be done?
Nate: So, a plan exceeding one's existing values...
Anyways, such an idea can only strike a big shot. Tatsuzou Sudou must be quite...
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: Is it possible that the New World Order is manipulating information on the net!?
They must be... It was a blind spot.
Ulala: Ma-ya, it seems like the New World Order rumor is the big news on the net...
What are we gonna do?
Nate: I would assume that the New World Order has already manipulated the information over the net... so that everybody would talk about it.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Mr. Matsuoka isn't to blame...
All of us, the Chief, everyone, is being played by the New World Order...
Ulala: That's what Mr. Matsuoka says, but all he really did was follow our orders to spread the information... It's really our fault.
Nate: Matsuoka isn't just a marionette.
As someone following orders, he did make a mistake.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: There may be voices of doubt to this news, but few will listen as it is. We must wait until everybody settles down.
Ulala: Hmmm, I don't get good vibes. Do you think the New World Order will give us a chance to calm down?
Nate: Not even confirming the truth of the news, and increasing their insecurity under the dark clouds...Are humans this foolish?
>>Etheria
Katsuya: This chaos could have been prevented...
I'm ashamed of myself for being a powerless officer.
Ulala: Mr. Suou says how he's powerless, but there are New World Order members in the police too. It's not his fault.
Nate: Why would anyone trust in the New World Order's impractical theories?
...This is exactly what they wanted.
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Hmm? He hinted that he did the Joker curse... At least he didn't get abducted to the lab.
Ulala: What the...! That guy is getting his Kegare purified. He must have been very worried to go to that fishy seminar.
Nate: New World Order is skilled in treachery. That may be necessary to lead such a large group, but I despise such ways!
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: I'm sorry, but I read that...piece...
"The Dream of the Rumored Student"...
I wonder what dream he had...
Ulala: It doesn't really matter, but the walls are too thin. I can hear next door.
Nate: The veranda is beautiful...
Why don't you try gardening? Be...(cough)...more domestic...(cough)
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: At the least, I ask them to be prepared. There are orders from above to stand by...
But there's no problem with being ready.
Ulala: That Bao...
Is he okay by himself?
I-It's not like I'm worried about him...
Nate: Law and Justice... They do not necessarily coincide with each other. Which will the sergeant choose in the end?
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: Both him and I are essentially the same...
Carry the past and live in the present...
But he's not someone you can handle alone.
Ulala: That brother that Tatsuzou acquitted...
Was that Yung Pao's brother?
Nate: Are you well-equipped?
There is something that I am worried about. Act very cautiously when we arrive.
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Baofu is not foolish enough to go in alone. He's most likely waiting for us to get there.
Ulala: What kind of connection do Bao and Yung Pao have from their past? Bao seems to hate him really bad...
Nate: Yung Pao's roles were the murders and the Joker-hunts. If this is to make the circulation of information a success, then...
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: According to the people of the city, a couple of suspicious-looking cars went in the abandoned factory. Probably Yung Pao...
Ulala: Psychotherapy...
Well, there ARE feelings that you can't hold back, even if you understand them.
Ulala: I wonder if people have to reply on others even to handle their own hearts...
Is that why you can't live on your own...?
Nate: Mary was also one who could not suppress her heart...She aspired for this career because she knows the hardships of it.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: ......
I'm sorry, but buy a lot of supplies... It's going to get troublesome.
Ulala: In general, Bao's actually pretty rash. I know it's a chance...But this isn't something he can do on his own, right?
Nate: Sergeant has figured it out...
Of course the same should go for Baofu...
...Maybe he...
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Katsuya: Mr. Nanjo...There's something I would like you to check... Check his...and...
Ulala: Ma-ya, he just went alone...! It's too dangerous alone...We've got to go after him! The factory is just behind our place!
Nate: Baofu's...and...?
I understand...I will try...
Ellen: Pole shift...
That thing where the earth's axis will spin 90 degrees...?
Ellen: If that happens the whole world will rain for days...floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes...Every kind of disaster...
Ellen: And unless they are airborne, most people won't survive...How could they use the Wang Long for such a thing...
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: A chance to capture Tatsuzou Sudou...
Is that what Baofu really thinks?
Ulala: What went down with Bao and that assassin? He doesn't bother to tell us, so I don't have a clue.
Nate: Baofu and Tatsuzou Sudou...
I do not know what went on between them, but that call was most likely...
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: Continually keeping one's cool...
They don't call him "The Waiter from Hell" for nothing.
Ulala: Everyone else is in a panic, but this waiter is still calm...
Good men are different, I guess.
Nate: I do not think this waiter's calm comes just from the rumors. He most likely has the ways of a professional.
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Everyone has a past they don't want talked about, right?...
Baofu has a past...That's all.
Ulala: That Bao, complaining so much about Detective Suou, but he's doing the same...
What a troubled guy.
Nate: That phone we tapped earlier...
There must be something behind it. Let us hurry, Ms. Amano!
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Just like they wanted, the rumors about the Torifune and the end of the world spread throughout the city...they're finally ready...
Ulala: We're pretty lucky we were able to tap the line with such good timing...
I wonder if Bao's okay...
Nate: For now, please keep your equipment ready for what may come. I will leave the rest to Sergeant.
. a three hour tour .
After the factory, boarding the Nichirinmaru and heading for the Undersea Ruins.

RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Baofu: We might be the same as that fish in the tank...
...That sucks.
>>Time Castle
Baofu: After all, people who only know peace do not have the will to protect their lives.
They've even forgotten the death's reality.
Baofu: I wouldn't say it's bad. 'Cause there's nothing better than peace.
But, it's true that it caused this situation.
>>Kaori
Baofu: The New World Order's plans are based on meticulous calculations and such. But without rumors, they're nothing.
Baofu: They're just depending on the power of rumors. So then...the New World Order isn't involved in making rumors come true.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: No matter what kind of reality the rumors can create, we just have to get them directly. Right?
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Baofu: Don't get too involved with others. That makes the pain of losing them even worse.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Baofu: I bet there are those who are overwhelmed by fear. I guess...I'd be trying to escape it by drinking.
>>Toa Armory
Baofu: The reason why I drink? I don't have a reason. As they say, "There isn't a god who wouldn't drink wine." ...Right?
Baofu: You know how they offer wine to the gods anywhere in the world? Even gods drink.
Thus it's natural for people to drink.
>>T's Chiropractic
Baofu: So the Wang Long fortune telling and stuff were all in preparation for them.
...They got us this time.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: I understand how Ulala feels, but we're the cause of the confusion.
They were just one step ahead of us.

Especially...at times like this...

Baofu: In Tatsuzou's view, both Yung Pao and us are no longer useful. It seems that their preparation is ready.
>>Bikini Line
Baofu: Something's not right...The tin-plated doll we saw at the factory. I feel I've seen a thing like it before...I must be imagining.

>>2x Slash
Baofu: People on the net generally tend to like rumors. Nobody will leave such a hot topic alone.
>>Parabellum
Baofu: This chaos isn't anyone's fault...
Even if we didn't spread the information, someone else was set to.
Baofu: It probably even says so in their plan book.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Baofu: A situation where everybody believes this ridiculous news. Is New World Order wise for making the foundation? I'm mortified.
>>Etheria
Baofu: One wise man nullifies ten thousand fools...
There's more who can't understand the information correctly than those who can.
>>Rosa Candida
Baofu: There's this many people who have been brainwashed? The New World Order is gathering Kegare smoothly, then...

Baofu: I wonder what she would say if she saw me now...Hmph...She'd bellow at me at how conceited I am. I know she would...
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: I am now, and I forever will be, a public servant for the government. That is what I decided.
Ulala: Mr. Suou is pretty trusted in here...
Charisma detective, huh?
Baofu: Hmph, it seems that Suou is suited for being a detective...
No wonder I don't get along with him.
Nate: People with pride and commitment will always gain the ability to lead. Just as Police Sergeant Suou did.
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: The things that the New World Order uses, the Kegare machine, that robot...
It's just so unreal...
Ulala: "Saga"...huh.
It sounds weird if I change it now... I'll stick with "Bao".
Baofu: To continue staying with me after knowing that I used you guys as a decoy...
You guys are all wussies... Geez...
Nate: Sergeant Suou may have felt a similarity with Baofu.
At least, that is how I perceived it.
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Let me say that I have no intention of letting Baofu kill Tatsuzou.
The law will judge him...not us.
Ulala: I think that in the end, Bao and Detective Suou make a great duo. They're so opposite.
Baofu: Ch, the wuss is still trying to only arrest?
...Geez.. That stupid lunk head...
Nate: Hmmmm...If you add Sergeant Suou and Baofu, then divvy them up, it may work out well.
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: You can't atone for your sins with another sin. It just brings further unhappiness. I will not let that happen in front of me.
Ulala: I can't believe he killed him after he was done using him! I've lived a long time, but I've never seen such a villain as Tatsuzou!
Baofu: Tatsuzou is a scum who even views his own son as a toy.. And that wuss is telling me not to kill him?...Ain't gonna happen.
Nate: I am not following Guido to kill him...
Just...to find out his true intentions.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Miss Serizawa was angry at me saying, "If you knew it was a trap, tell me!"...
W-Well, this is the way things turn out...
Ulala: Was I the only one who didn't figure out it was a trap?...Geez, you guys are mean.
Why didn't you tell me!
Baofu: Hmph... I never thought that wuss would have rich boy investigate me...
Touche...
Nate: Everyone has a past they want to keep secret. To investigate that makes me feel ill at ease.
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Katsuya: I was hesitant to research someone's past, but it was an issue of trusting Baofu...I mean, Saga. It couldn't be helped.
Ulala: Baofu's real name is Kaoru, huh? And he is still holding on to memories of a woman from the past... I see.
Baofu: What is it, Amano?...
You want to tell me something too? Spare me the gloomy stuff, alright?
Nate: Not knowing sorrow is the same as not knowing pleasure...
Baofu... He knows that too well.
Ellen: I felt anger and sorrow from Baofu's Persona. It had something to do with the death of a person...
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: A Civil Defense Force with that weaponry...
Why would those weapons be needed in the first place?
Ulala: Bao dashed at full speed for his partner. And it was a girl!...For a GIRL, ya hear!? Oh, geez...
Baofu: What the hell is Serizawa talking about? A partner is a partner, right?
Nothing more...Nothing less.
Nate: That human-model tank was already finished. Assuming that Matsuoka did not report it, it must have been developed overseas...
>>Clair de Lune
Baofu: Hey Maya, try to picture this...
A flustering waiter, Soejima...How's that?...He's struggling? Funny, huh?
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Feelings that can't be held back...
That leads to crime, but we're human... I can't say much about others.
Ulala: I know that there's been a lot in the past, but has Bao thought anything over?...
I see no change in him though.
Baofu: Even if there are traps, you press onward with your beliefs. That's the true man...
Women and children can't understand.
Nate: Investigating one's private life did hold me back, but I did have doubts about Baofu's true nature...
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: The Tien Tao Lien Affair...It was suspected there was lots of cash going from the Mafia to the Minister of Justice then, Tatsuzou...
Katsuya: Saga was investigating that, and they tried to kill him in an "accident" that ended up killing his partner, Ms. Asai...
Katsuya: I would imagine that Saga's Persona awakened then, and only he was saved...
And that might be why he hates Personas...
Ulala: Kaoru Saga...public prosecutor...
What in the world could've happened to him?
Baofu: Miki...the one who killed you is dead...
Just wait...there's only one more left...
Nate: Come to think of it, I have not seen that lad, Tatsuya, since then.
Where could he be now...?
Nichirinmaru
>>Deck
Katsuya: Tatsuya...what makes you this way? Why won't you tell us what's going on...?
Am I that lousy of a brother...?
Ulala: That Tatsuya is unbelievable.
He came all the way here by himself...
Baofu: You saw a submarine go down before, right?
There was another one just like it...
Baofu: I don't know if Tatsuzou's on it, but that's the only way to go after him...
Nate: An Aegis vessel made to look like a cruise ship...how stupid... No sense of money...
>>Conference Room
Katsuya: That shrine-like thing...Don't you think there is something about it?
Who was inside it..?
Ulala: Ma-ya, remember that party? It was on a cruise ship just like this...
Ulala: A ship is a ship, but I never thought I would have to go on a ship like this...
Baofu: Looks like they were plotting something evil here...You just wait...Tatsuzou...
Nate: The combination of modern technology and sorcery is where New World Order excels.
How fanciful for them...
>>Heliport
Katsuya: I'm sorry, Ms. Amano...
He's not really like that... Please forgive him...
Ulala: I've never seen Tatsuya so angry...
Baofu: The kid pushed himself too hard...
Baofu: Tatsuzou escaped, but we can't just let those guys heading towards the ruins go...
Amano, let's look for a way to go after them.
Nate: Seems painful...hard to watch...
Undersea Ruins
>>Entrance
Katsuya: No one's here now...
Tatsuya must have gone inside...
Ulala: Say...did these ruins appear because of rumors too...or has it been here?...
I don't know what's real or not anymore.
Baofu: He must have done this.
What a punk...
Baofu: And to top it off, he's smart as well... He's destroyed their only way out.
He's got some mad skills...
Nate: I can feel it...Guido is here...
Nate: Young boy...He's a dangerous man...
Don't get ahead of yourself...
. the other side .
Once Tatsuya starts tagging along with the party, but before completing Mount Iwato.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: Now Mt. Iwato of Araya...
What is Tatsuya trying to do?
Ulala: Did you hear what that old woman said?
Looks like something happened here.
Baofu: What's wrong? You look pale.
Deja vu again?
Tatsuya: If you go to Mt. Iwato of Araya...You will be able to know all. In exchange for the precious time of the present.
Nate: It appears that Suou's purpose is to make you realize...or rather remember something, Ms. Amano.
Nate: Do you have any ideas?
I am interested, since I've gotten involved in all this.
RENGEDAI: Mount Iwato
>>Entrance
Katsuya: Ms. Amano...are we trying to find out what we do not need to know...?
Katsuya: Is that the case...with Tatsuya...?
Ulala: What should we do, Ma-ya?
I kinda have a feeling... It might be better if we didn't go...
Baofu: Showing people's pasts...
You've gotta be kiddin' me...
Nate: Iwato...Araya Shrine... Those were from Lunarvale, but this is my first visit...
>>Spring of Mirrors
Katsuya: Friendship that knows no boundaries...
It was good to have seen it...
Ulala: Best friends are really great...
It's always better to have one true friend than ten "fake" ones...
Baofu: Promises huh...
Stupid stuff I didn't need to see...
Nate: So I might've gone off track...
Again, it is you who opened my eyes... What a truly great man you are...
>>Spring of Mirrors
Katsuya: This is nonsense! This isn't the "Twilight Zone"!
Ulala: What the heck is going on!? I just don't get it!!
Baofu: Hey...you gotta be kidding me...
Nate: A different reality...Is he from a parallel dimension!? But, I doubt the boy is lying...
>>Trish's Fountain
Tatsuya: There she is... The money-hungry fairy...
Even on "This Side" she's still the same...
>>Spring of Mirrors
Katsuya: "Him"...?
Who could he be talking about...?
Ulala: Okay, so Ma-ya is still Ma-ya, right!? We've known each other since high school!
Baofu: The Joker was in another world as well...
What exactly happened on the "Other Side"...
Nate: So you're saying it's the same as Mary...
I want to think that it's not possible...
>>Spring of Mirrors
Katsuya: The being that stands opposite to Philemon...?
The archetype of existential destruction...?
Katsuya: If such a thing does exist, it is well beyond our comprehension...
The shadow of mankind...
Ulala: There's a boss behind the New World Order...?
And that guy's in each and every one of us!?
Baofu: The ideal-collecting Masquerade, and the Kegare-collecting New World Order, huh...
Serizawa's right, the situations are similar...
Nate: Nyarlathotep...!?
It wasn't merely Guido's Persona?
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: Tatsuya was really surprised when he saw this Gatten Sushi...
I wonder why?
Ulala: Hey, Joe! How're you doing?
You look yummy... I'm gonna eat ya whole!
Baofu: Ulala's doing that again? What does she plan to do naming that fish in the tank for?
Tatsuya: W-Why is the Gatten Sushi shop here in Rengedai...
Wasn't it in Hirasaka...?
Nate: So...Chris has left. I wanted to tell him about Guido myself, but...
I am sure we shall meet again.
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: Araya Shrine...
When we were little I used to bring him there for the festivals.
Katsuya: But that was a long time ago...
All these years he never mentioned the name of that shrine...
Ulala: Tatsuya...
Looks like he's finally about to talk but...
What is he going to do at a shrine?
Baofu: I'm concerned about Tatsuya too but, as we speak the NWO's plans are already set in motion. There's no time to screw around.
Tatsuya: The people of the city are starting to be affected as well...
There's no time to lose.
Nate: Guido's words... Was he trying to discover something of Tatsuya? Or, did he want to entrust him with something...
>>Kaori
Katsuya: ...Tatsuya seems so different...
It's not like we got along great, but something feels different.
Ulala: Just between you and me...both Nate and Tatsuya don't look younger than us. I guess they've been through a lot?
Baofu: Smells soothe people's hearts, huh...
It might be true. Right now, I believe it.
Tatsuya: Guido...
Was he trying to tell me something...?
Nate: No matter who it is, it is painful to see their death twice...
Nate: Guido...
This time, veritably, farewell.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: As you grow up, even brothers get issues they don't want to discuss with each other. But there is something unusual about him.
Ulala: I wonder why Tatsuya avoids you so much, Ma-ya? Do you think it's his way of showing affection?
Ulala: Oh...sorry.
I'm just kidding.
Baofu: They seem to have special regards for Tatsuya...
Why is that...
Tatsuya: ......
Please...just leave me alone...
Nate: Tatsuya's eyes remind me of him... Guido's eyes...
...I don't know why I feel that way...
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: I haven't told our parents about Tatsuya. It's impossible! How could I describe a situation like this?
Ulala: Tatsuya is still in high school right? But look at those sad eyes. Even an adult can't make an expression like that!
Baofu: ...Amano...
Do you have any intention of listening to Tatsuya's story? We have no business here!
Tatsuya: ...Th, this is!?
Ahh, it's been awhile.
Nate: ...Suou is feeling extreme longing for this place. What happened here before?
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: What is Tatsuya going to tell us? Why do we need to go to a place like that?
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, have you ever been to where Tatsuya mentioned? I wonder why it has to be there?
Baofu: What's up with Nate? Is something bothering him?
Tatsuya: ...Let's go to Araya Shrine.
I promise I will tell everything there.
Nate: ...Araya Shrine...?
It must be just a coincidence.
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: ...Tatsuya.
Ulala: Oh, what's up with those faces? Smile! C'mon! (sigh)
...I guess it's not the time for that.
Baofu: Hmm? Don't look so worried. You're ready to hear his story, right? You'll be alright. We're all with you.
Tatsuya: ...There should be no need to come here.
Are you not ready to hear what I have to say yet?
Nate: Your face looks a little pale...
Are you okay, Ms. Amano?
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, are you alright?
You should get treated.
Ulala: Ma-ya, does your back hurt? Let's get it fixed and go.
Baofu: What's wrong, Maya? Your brain's no good?
Hehehe, you should get that fixed.
Tatsuya: ...There's nothing wrong with me.
Nate: Is there something wrong, Ms. Amano?
Did you come here for something?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Tatsuya...Why do you avoid me?
What happened that I don't know about!?
Ulala: You say he's blitzed out of his mind?...
Yeah, it's not very convincing coming from a drunken middle-aged man.
Baofu: During adolescence, one is always in their own little world...He's probably intoxicated over a little misery.
Tatsuya: ...I am not the Tatsuya that you know.
And you...aren't the person I know.
Nate: Tatsuya...
One of my friends... Had the same presence...
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: Before, Tatsuya would have frequently come here...
But now...what has happened to him?
Ulala: Tatsuya looks so serious.
Uh...maybe I shouldn't be playing...
I should limit myself...
Baofu: Games nowadays are all machines...
So damn cheap...
Tatsuya: As we speak, the world is headed towards destruction...
I should...do this alone...
Nate: I am in no mood to play.
Please let me be for now.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: We are brothers after all. We can understand each other to an extent...
What is Tatsuya afraid of...?
Ulala: Mmm?... Tatsuya knows that kid?
Maybe he's kind of well-known.
Baofu: A strange kid. Can't tell what he's thinking even when I try to sympathize.
He has a subconscious mind barrier...
Tatsuya: I see...Chikalin is a rumormonger even on This Side...
Nate: I heard from Sergeant Suou, that he was Ms. Smith's student.
...Such a coincidence...
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: Punishment...
That damn Tatsuzou... Does he think he is a god or something...
Ulala: Tatsuzou gets away... The seal gets released...
Always at the last moment...
Baofu: That brat knows something we don't.
I hope that will be a clue about them...
Tatsuya: Promise me...
In exchange for me explaining everything, you will stay away from this case...
Nate: That boy's mind seems to be heavily set on only Ms. Amano... But...It's not like they are acquaintances, right?
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: But why is Tatsuya after Tatsuzou...?
Does he know about father?... Or is there some other reason...?
Ulala: Tatsuya must be either very powerful or very reckless. I mean, would anyone normal think of fighting those guys all alone?
Baofu: The reason for that kid chasing Tatsuzou seems to be different than that of Suou's. Of course, it's just a hunch...
Tatsuya: I wished...
When we met at Seventh... You would of forgotten the entire thing...
Nate: Sometimes, I confuse Suou for Guido and vice versa...
...I wonder why...?
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I don't really know Tatsuya's friends...
But I believe he was acquainted with that Anna girl.
Ulala: Tatsuya just told me about a good diet food. He knows someone who knows a lot about that kind of stuff!
Baofu: When I think about it, that kid seems a lot like Suou.
Guess they're brothers after all...
Tatsuya: A non-fattening candy...huh.
She wanted it.
Nate: Where did Tatsuya learn to use his Persona so well...One must have a certain amount of experience to become like that.
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: Ms. Amano...
Let's hurry...
Ulala: It makes it seem like those Deja Vu Boy days were such a long time ago...
It wasn't really that long ago.
Baofu: Don't be so hasty...
He's finally ready to explain. Let's listen to the whole story... Alright?
Tatsuya: ...Right now... there is nothing to say.
Nate: Relative judgment decides true value...
Whether Suou's secret is important or not can't be decided until we talk to him.
AOBA: Sumaru TV
Katsuya: I don't think this is the time to be sitting around, either...
Ulala: Maya, Tatsuya is finally ready to speak...
Should we really be taking our time...?
Baofu: This time around, I agree with Suou...
Look at the kid's face... We gotta get rid of all the pain...
Tatsuya: ......
Nate: Ms. Amano, I think we'd better hurry...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: Impossible!!...
A normal high school student shouldn't have any business here!
Ulala: Is that kid reminiscing? He looks like he's been here before...So, he must've been here at the time of the Joker rumor.
Baofu: That Suou talks as if he knows all about his younger brother, but, isn't that ignorant? Besides, he's not normal, right?
Tatsuya: This place...It's really changed.
Nate: That man Suou seems as if he does not want to talk here...
Let us make haste onward...
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: ...Why?
Why is Tatsuya avoiding me?
Ulala: Looks like he's hiding something that relates to you, Ma-ya.
...Maybe deja vu does exist.
Baofu: That brat, is he really gonna talk?
...Well, I guess he's not the type to lie.
Tatsuya: The truth cannot be obtained here.
Let's go...
Nate: I think our paths are about to diverge.
...No, I just felt that way, for some reason.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Originally it was Tatsuya who started the rumor about the anti-Joker emblem, right?...
Has Ms. Serizawa forgotten that?
Ulala: What the!?... He knew this place became a weapon store through rumors!
He even knew that rumors become true.
Baofu: A kid souldn't be in a place like this...
UNLESS... he wants to be a cool guy like me. But, you are still not gonna get to drink!
Tatsuya: This... is a place that became a weapon shop through rumors.
Nate: Ms. Amano, he is still a minor. I do not feel it wise to bring him to this kind of establishment... NO, I'm not being tense!
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: What is it, Ms. Amano?...
Did you also want to say something about my savings?
Ulala: Mr. Suou, you really worked hard.
Saving money for your brother... Most wouldn't be able to do it!?
Baofu: Nobody saves money for family these days.
Geez, you're a fish out of water, even though your GQ looks are "in"...Right?
Tatsuya: ...Leave me alone.
Nate: He is not only a cop with intelligence... He also values family and has tenacity...
Sergeant Suou, you are admirable.
>>Etheria
Katsuya: I can understand the way Tatsuya feels.
How about it, Ms. Amano? We should get going...
Ulala: Damn that Bao!!
What does he mean by "Maybe Serizawa..."!!
Baofu: Maybe Serizawa... But why do you want to get pretty? You're already pretty enough.
So it doesn't have to be right now, eh?
Tatsuya: ...What am I supposed to do here?
Nate: Beauty spa at a time like this?
It's great that you try to be your best, but it doesn't have to be now...
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: Clothing, friends, use of money... These are the signs of delinquency...
Tatsuya, are you really alright!?
Ulala: Ahahahaha! That's so funny.
Mr. Suou said "delinquency"... No one still uses that expression, do they?
Baofu: I thought this store's items were pretty flashy, but Tatsuya's outfit... A nice, simple design, that... IS flashy...
Tatsuya: I have no business here...
What's wrong with the way I'm dressed now?
Nate: ...You seem to be taking your time, Ms. Amano. Are you not worried about that kid's story?
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: What's wrong with Tatsuya?...
He hasn't been saying anything... Does he feel alright?
Ulala: Hey Ma0ya, have you ever let Tatsuya in your room before now? You haven't, right?
How is he so familiar with your room...?
Baofu: That Serizawa...telling me that there's no smoking in this room...what's up with that when she's the one smoking in the room.
Tatsuya: It's the same in this world...
Nate: That young lad is speechless...
Was this room just too much for him?
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: It is most dangerous to cause panic now. It might be better if we have everyone in the station go out to the city...
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, has Tatsuya ever been "Wanted"?
Sorry...Something's wrong with me...
Baofu: You don't plan to interrogate him, do you?
He says he'll talk... Just do what he says.
Tatsuya: I see...
Since Tatsuya Sudou isn't here, this place is alright...
Nate: Come to think of it, was there not a fire here in the past?
What is this...this feeling of wrongness?
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: I still have a bevy of questions to ask Tatsuya...
This isn't the time to be drinking tea...
Ulala: U...g...h...
I'm sick of the ocean... It feels like this store is rocking...
Baofu: That kid is just as edgy as his brother. He ignored me when I called him.
Tatsuya: That man named Guido knew it... His existence... About me...
Knowing that he...
Nate: Did Guido actually know from the beginning that it was going to turn out like this...
That we would arrive as well...?
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: I wonder when it was Tatsuya became like that... Well...it's partly my fault for not teaching him otherwise...
Ulala: Why does Tatsuya try to dodge us so much? Tatsuya is Detective Suou's brother, right?
I just don't know...
Baofu: What's wrong? Aren't we going to listen to what the kid's gotta say?...
We don't need to have a fortune told.
Tatsuya: That fortune teller...
She was a rumormonger on the Other Side... So she's not on This Side...
Nate: Keystone...I should have investigated into Wang Long more...That way, I might have been able to protect the other seals...
>>Hiiragi Therapy
Katsuya: Did you tell Miss Sonomura about the Undersea Ruins?...
If you haven't, do so please.
Ulala: That Guido...
I didn't understand him until the end... But that's the same for Tatsuya...
Baofu: I really can't get used to this atmosphere... First off, I feel out of place here.
I don't know about everyone else, though...
Tatsuya: Guido is aware of his existence. But why is he aiding the New World Order...?
Can it be he's willing to be a pawn...?
Nate: Miss Amano, could you report about Guido to Mary...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Lately many women wear contacts instead of glasses...
I thought about it, but...
Ulala: Hmmmmmm...
What color do kids today like... Maybe I should ask Tatsuya?
Baofu: They don't have any medicine for men...
I tend to use that more often.
Tatsuya: Health foods...
Speaking of which, I wonder if Yuki is still worrying about it...?
Nate: Hmmm...
The guitar version is pretty good as well. That is Satomi Tadashi for you...
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Katsuya: ...Yes, Ms. Amano? Tatsuya?
...He tells me nothing. I wonder what Tatsuya is hiding from us.
Ulala: Hey Ma-ya, are you okay? You look so pale!
Is it because Tatsuya is hiding something?
Baofu: Hmm... I wonder what Suou's little brother is hiding... I'm curious about it.
Tatsuya: ...The answers are at Araya Shrine.
Nate: Is Baofu really going to pull out of this incident?
Nate: Whatever Suou's reason for fighting is, I cannot quit after coming this far.
Ellen: What is it that Tatsuya knows? The nervous face he makes when he is asked about it... Ms. Amano, any ideas?
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: Ms. Amano, let's hurry...
I want to hear what Tatsuya has to say!
Ulala: I didn't know that there was such a place underwater. Maybe Atlantis does exist!
...!! Did you find any treasure!?
Baofu: Heh heh heh, that's Serizawa for ya...
But that kid seems to be looking beyond... I bet he'd know what happened to Atlantis.
Tatsuya: It's dangerous here...
We have no time for side trips.
Nate: He certainly is looking beyond...
What is he seeing that we cannot?
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: How could he denounce someone's private life in public...
Baofu! That's slanderous!!
Ulala: Mr. Suou, you were saving money for your brother, right? How much have you saved?
Hahaha... (sigh)
Baofu: He's saving money. So, 3 years or less of service, imprisonment, or a ¥500000 fine? You hurt by THAT, Suou?...
Tatsuya: What my brother... is trying to do has nothing to do with the me over on the "Other Side"...
Nate: All I did was investigate Mr. Suou's life. That is what Baofu requested...
It is not like I just looked that up.
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: I don't believe dragons exist, but as far as energy moving underground, I'm sold...
Is that because I'm ignorant?
Ulala: Wasn't that guy Kandori involved in a larger scandal? He's such a villain...
But, he was different from others.
Baofu: Keystones holding dragons...Megalith cultures of the world are probably the same...The Ley Line may be the same, too.
Tatsuya: Kandori...Is that man the same as...as me?
Nate: Guido...He might have just been playing the role given to him...
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Perhaps that Kandori still had something left to do...but I don't know how Tatsuya is related though.
Ulala: I just can't understand that Guido. He's our enemy but he gave us weird advice. And then he just died...
Baofu: So they'll even resurrect the dead to get what they want...those bastards...
Tatsuya: Igor and them should know...
About the "Other Side", and...about me...
Nate: Guido...I thought you were not a fool who drowns in his own ambition and ability...
Or are you telling me to walk out of here...
. truths revealed .
Once Tatsuya joins for real after the Mount Iwato infodump.
RENGEDAI: Araya Shrine
Katsuya: He's been fighting all this time by himself...It must have been hard...
......
Baofu: I knew he was a wussie. Suou gets moved too easily.
He needs to grow up...
Tatsuya: This is where we first met Maya...
Where it all started...The focal point that divides the two realities.
RENGEDAI: Lotus Plaza
>>Sushi Gatten
Katsuya: That Saga...I appreciate that he persuaded Tatsuya to stay, but he didn't have to blab about my savings...
Ulala: You must be puzzled Ma-ya. I mean, you're dead on the Other Side. ...Well...You might not have any feeling of reality, though.
Baofu: Heh heh heh, looks like Suou's pretty upset.
It's called "an eye for an eye"...
Tatsuya: Maya.
Do you remember that this is Eikichi's house? Eikichi...he's not here...
>>Time Castle
Katsuya: The one who stabbed Ms. Amano in the Other Side... She was that teacher at Seventh...
Different world, different person...
Ulala: A parallel world...
I always thought it happened in books and movies, but...
Baofu: The incident that happened on the "Other Side"... So the guy that was behind it is behind this one as well...
Tatsuya: By you remembering everything, the distortion between the two realities had to have grown larger...We have no time...
>>Kaori
Katsuya: Your friends from then are just strangers in "This Side"...
It's a trying battle.
Ulala: Oh, I'm jealous of you, Ma-ya.
I wish I had someone who cared about me as much as Tatsuya cares for you.
Ulala: Oops... I shouldn't be jealous or else I'll become a Joker again, huh?
Hahahaha
Baofu: The boy is his brother and also a stranger from another world at the same time.
He must be perplexed...
Tatsuya: Natural Pheromone...
PheromaXX...huh...
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Tatsuya from another world...
Either way, he is my younger brother. I won't act differently towards him.
Katsuya: The same voice, the same look...
How could I believe that he's not my brother?
Ulala: That even makes ME blush.
I think you're pretty fortunate, Ma-ya.
Baofu: The Paradox...and the "Other Side"...
I get it. Now I understand what they were saying.
Tatsuya: ...If Jun and Eikichi regain their memory, this world will cease to exist...
I can't let that happen!
HIRASAKA: Sumaru Prison
Katsuya: Explaining the truth to them, wouldn't help them understand...Even we have a hard time understanding.
Ulala: Eikichi wasn't uninvolved.
...But, we have to let it alone for now.
Baofu: They must have...a counterpart on the "Other Side" as well. Probably not much different though.
Tatsuya: A live house...
I haven't touched a guitar for awhile.
Tatsuya: This is...the first place we met the Joker. Not the same Joker from "This Side"...
I'm talking about my...our friend.
HIRASAKA: Kameya Alley
>>Izakaya Shiraishi
Katsuya: I'm sure it's not as if only this shop is different from the "Other Side". Maybe he just hasn't noticed everything else.
Ulala: So can only Tatsuya know the difference between here and the "Other Side"?
...Ah, can you tell too, Ma-ya?
Baofu: So this shop differs on the "Other Side".
He doesn't have to be that shocked, does he?
Tatsuya: ...Why?...This place is different from the "Other Side"...
Too different!
>>Toa Armory
Katsuya: I see, so we will be riding for free.
...Just this one time, I'll let it slide.
Ulala: We get to the Torifune by that subway, right?...Does that mean we're the first people to ride on it?
Baofu: Don't we have to pay to get on the subway? Should we buy tickets?
...Hey Ulala, go buy tickets!
Tatsuya: If Brother is going to close his eyes, maybe I should imitate him.
...Heh.
>>T's Chiropractic
Katsuya: Who knew Tatsuya thought of you so much...?
But the Tatsuya from the "Other Side" isn't my brother...But Tatsuya's my brother?
Ulala: Isn't Tatsuya heroic...
What about you, Ma-ya? It's not like you don't appreciate it, right?
Baofu: Even if you can do anything you put your mind to, it's still an insane idea to change the world.
Baofu: How lucky you are as a woman to have a man love you that much.
Tatsuya: ...Everyone likes worthless subjects.
This isn't the time for that.
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: The "Other Side" doesn't seem so different, but there probably exists a world that is.
Ulala: Hmm, I wonder if Satomi Tadashi was popular on the "Other Side" too?
Hey Ma-ya, let's ask.
Baofu: Back in my school days, I used to read a lot of science fiction novels...
Parallel world...Brings back memories.
Tatsuya: Satomi Tadashi...?
I'm not sure if it was popular, but I did go there often.
YUMEZAKI: Mu Continent
Katsuya: I bet you enjoyed gambling on the "Other Side" too...
I don't have to ask Tatsuya to tell.
Ulala: You're quite amazing, being able to gamble after hearing a story like that.
Well...so am I but...
Baofu: It may be just me, but I can't get in the mood to gamble against a machine.
...Except for maybe slot machines.
Tatsuya: Even now, this world is slowly extinguishing...
We can't waste any time.
YUMEZAKI: Central Avenue
>>Peace Diner
Katsuya: Judging from that, it seems Tatsuya and I are not on great terms over on the "Other Side" either...
Ulala: But I wonder...
What am I like on the "Other Side"? Maybe I was a celebrity?
Baofu: The Other World... The Other Self...
Either way, probably a useless fellow.
Tatsuya: I see...
Even on This Side she talks like a ninja... I guess it can't be helped.
>>Tony's Shop
Katsuya: I feel I finally understand what Kandori was talking about...
...A huge shadow...
Ulala: Ma-ya has it tough on This Side, but even on the "Other Side" Ma-ya had it tough...
I feel sorry for her.
Baofu: It doesn't resolve anything just to know who the enemy is.
From now on is the real hard part.
Tatsuya: Even now...
I am breaking a promise with important friends...Please leave me alone...
>>Bikini Line
Katsuya: Deja vu is proof that the balance between the two worlds is skewed. And it's continuing to get worse.
Ulala: Isn't Tatsuya's body on This Side although his consciousness is of the Other Side?
So Tatsuya's consciousness is dormant here?
Baofu: With things like this happening, it's just a matter of time before the citizens remember the "Other Side". We must hurry.
Tatsuya: This world is definitely headed towards destruction just as the Other Side is.
That must be stopped, no matter the cost!
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: I see...
Even strangers on "This Side" could be the best of friends on the "Other Side"...
Ulala: Tatsuya just told me about a good diet food. He knows someone who knows a lot about that kind of stuff!
Tatsuya: In actuality, I have no right to exist here.
I understand that...
AOBA: Kismet Publishing
Katsuya: I don't know the exact difference, but the Tatsuya there is apparently different from the Tatsuya that I know...
Katsuya: ...I still can't believe it.
Ulala: So the deja vu was the memory from another world. Then, any misunderstandings could've been from the other world, too?
Baofu: The "Other Side" isn't so different after all. Well, I'm sure there's a completely different world out there somewhere too.
Tatsuya: This hasn't changed...There is no difference from the "Other Side".
AOBA: Sumaru TV
Katsuya: It is still hard for me to believe. But Tatsuya would never lie to me... Even if it's Tatsuya from the "Other Side"!
Ulala: Everyone is so positive and adaptive. I'm just barely keeping up...
At times, I still feel like it's a dream.
Baofu: To think there was such a secret in this world. I can understand why Tatsuya is called the Paradox...
Tatsuya: Just as they say, I am the Paradox.
That's why... I don't get involved much with the people from "This Side"...
AOBA: Aoba Drive
>>Kuzunoha Detective Agency
Katsuya: Tatsuya and those guys must've been using this place on the Other Side like us...
However, with a difference of 900 Yen.
Ulala: ¥100 on the Other Side? That damn Nekomata! Thinking we don't know better!!
Huh, is it possibly Tammy's suggestion!?...
Baofu: Uhhuuuuuh, even on the "Other Side"...
This ol' man is suspicious too...Could he already be aware about Tatsuya?
Tatsuya: The rumor was manipulated even on the Other Side. Although I was helped in many other ways, I bet they wouldn't know me...
Tatsuya: But, are prices higher on "This Side"?...
That Lucky Cat asked for only 100 on the "Other Side"...
>>2x Slash
Katsuya: What's the matter, Ms. Amano?
...Tatsuya is talking...strange? Huh? What's so strange about it?
Ulala: I see, New World Order is the only difference with the "Other Side".
Hey, that's a BIG difference, Tatsuya!!
Baofu: Are you making an ass out of adults, Tatsuya? That's a BIG discrepancy.
You're not... an airhead, are you!?
Tatsuya: There's not much difference between the two worlds. If anything... I guess the existence of the New World Order.
>>Parabellum
Katsuya: Why did Tatsuya say such a thing to Baofu? Hmmm, I don't get it.
Ulala: Why is Bao getting so worked up? Maybe it was a sore subject for him...
Baofu: That Tatsuya, acting like he knows what it's like to be adult.
Tatsuya: Baofu, you...drink to forget about your dreams?
Baofu: Hey Tatsuya, speaking like you understand the adult world...
Baofu: Listen. A dream that can be forgotten through liquor isn't an important one.
...Do ya understand kid!?
Tatsuya: ...Heh.
Baofu: The hell you laughing at!!?
Baofu: Hey Suou, arrest your damn brother!
...For what? For insulting an adult!
>>Satomi Tadashi
Katsuya: Why didn't you discuss everything with me?
...Tatsuya...
Ulala: Wow, Bao finally got to the point... I guess he understands young people.
But, I feel sorry for Mr. Suou.
Baofu: For an adolescent, friends and lovers are more important than family...
Why don't you understand that?
Tatsuya: Maya, Katsuya, I didn't want to involve either of you...I should not have involved anyone...
>>Etheria
Katsuya: I don't care about liquor... I just hope police on the "Other Side" are not corrupt.
Ulala: Even at a time like this, it's liquor, liquor, liquor... What a dope. I like liquor too, but... Is that all he can talk about!?
Baofu: I don't know about the "Other Side" world, but there is liquor there too, right?
...Then, it can't be a bad place. Yep.
Tatsuya: Everyone's curious about the other world...
It's not that different from this one.
>>Rosa Candida
Katsuya: The ancient history boom is the act of the New World Order... If all is being done to make rumors true, they can't be searching things.
Katsuya: ...It wouldn't be a surprise if they didn't notice the cave in Mt. Iwato.
Ulala: Mt. Iwato did have a cave after all.
Ma-ya knew all along... Oh, of course you would, you remember the "Other Side".
Baofu: How can they talk about history booms and not know about the cave in Mt. Iwato?
...Seems obvious by investigating the city.
Tatsuya: That cave was different on the "Other Side" as well... Of course...
Because there is no Masquerade here...
KONAN: Lunar Palace
Katsuya: It seems that on the "Other Side", this room is the same...
Just look at Tatsuya.
Ulala: Come to think of it Ma-ya, you haven't cleaned the entryway, yet!...And you're the one who suggested taking turns!
Baofu: What's with the mountain of canned crab in the fridge? You gonna eat all that?
...Hmm?...Whaddaya mean, "don't look"?
Tatsuya: ...Actually, I never planned to come back here again...
...EVER...
KONAN: Police Station
Katsuya: I can't get all sentimental now...
If what Tatsuya said is true, then the world is disappearing as we speak.
Ulala: They ARE brothers... Tatsuya is similar to Big Suou.
Steadily...
Baofu: It would be nice if we could settle this before the Torifune starts moving...
But will we make it...
Tatsuya: Since the rumor has spread this much, the Torifune should already have appeared underneath this city. He can do that.
KONAN: Seaside Mall
>>Johnny Roger's
Katsuya: Another Tatsuya...huh.
He really didn't talk much before, so... I still don't have the feeling of reality.
Ulala: I wonder if Tatsuya likes you, Ma-ya... Or is it...a different feeling?
Hmmm... Adolescent boys are complicated.
Baofu: Geez, he's got a face like he's carrying all the world's unhappiness on his back...
Well, I guess it's justifiable.
Tatsuya: He created those ruins...
And the Torifune is most likely already...
>>Sumaru Genie
Katsuya: Miss Serizawa...I don't mind what you call me, but... Don't you think that... "Big Suou" is a bit too informal...?
Ulala: Tatsuya Suou and Katsuya Suou... The Suou Brothers...That's kinda confusing.
From now on, Katsuya is "Big Suou".
Baofu: I heard from Tatsuya, on the "Other Side", that mystic was a rumormonger.
As I thought, it's slightly different.
Tatsuya: I've...betrayed everyone again...
I'm sorry... Leave me be.
NARUMI: Baofu's Lair
Katsuya: No matter what Tatsuya says, I am still Tatsuya's brother! I will not let him suffer any longer!
Ulala: I wonder if I was tricked by him on the "Other Side" too. Hmm, I kind of want to know, but at the same time, I don't...
Baofu: My counterpart from the "Other Side", eh.
I'm not very interested...I'm not childish enough to expect anything from it.
Tatsuya: I'm sorry... Because of me...
NARUMI: Hotel
>>Ebony
Katsuya: Hahaha, Tatsuya's worries are "only that much" to Ms. Serizawa.
Ulala: Tatsuya's so reserved...
If it's only that much, he should've just told us in the first place.
Baofu: Tatsuya has pride too, right?...
It's easy to tell a secret, but maybe he didn't want to feel relieved by doing so?
Tatsuya: I came to change destiny...
I'm only fighting for that.
>>Clair de Lune
Katsuya: He couldn't even consult me, his own brother?...How stupid...He really is a stupid brother...
Ulala: Tatsuya's the type to hold everything back. If it was me, I'd tell all and have everyone help me.
Baofu: For a brat he's acting quite mature. A big brother is there to help his siblings. Let him be the older brother...
Tatsuya: The only one who can atone for a sin is the one who commits it, right? That's why I chose to be by myself. That's all.
>>Padparacha
Katsuya: Tatsuya was always fighting. Even on the "Other Sie"... In places I never knew about...
Ulala: Tatsuya, Eikichi, and others were connected by the "Other Side".
But, it's sad to the forgotten one...
Baofu: Crawling Chaos is such a grand name, just like New World Order... Those with big plans like big names...
Tatsuya: Am I too accustomed to being alone?...
It feels awkward to be walking with comrades now.
ALL: Velvet Room
Katsuya: Another reality created by the hopes of Tatsuya and his friends...and a giant shadow trying to destroy the world...
Ulala: The Torifune rumor...Is that about the ruins they found during the subway construction?
Ulala: Even if they tried to create the Torifune with rumors... Could the construction thing be a rumor, too? What a large scale...!
Baofu: It's all unbelievable without seeing any proof...
But...it's consistent...huh.
Tatsuya: The people of the city have started to experience deja vu because the distortion has gotten bigger...there's no time.
