Video Game Version:
You know you have done something right when you not only have your enemy both redeem and work with you while in jail, but also stopped the world from being destroyed three times on powerful entities.
Deadpool: Yep. Your probably wondering how I got into this mess. Well I will let Bazil do all the talking since he is the one who started this mess in the first place.
Me: Thank you Deadpool. But yes, this is going to be a new event that is going to be happening in this wiki if the sister wiki isn't enough. You remember the plagiarism epidemic that has happened on both wiki's? That's not enough as right now we as a user said this is called the Indolence Epidemic. If you don't know it's pretty much proposals where in the past are really low-effort. Mostly not just never explaining how the character pass the standard and the acts they do, but also how their factors are not corrupting or even mentioning those two things. Or both at the same time. Thus, we're making some new ones right here.
Deadpool: You gotcha. This is going to be the first one he is doing for today and why not get it started and not decrease the budget like I did to my own game shall we?
What's The Work?
Persona is one of the most popular franchise in the Shin Megami Tensei series. This time it's the fourth game of the series as it stars Yu Narukami as he and his friends investigate a murder of a person while also dealing with issues with their life.
Who is He? What has He done?
Yu is a transfer student who has just moved from a new town for the school as he encounters his uncle and cousin to move to the city. He encounters new allies until an incident happened where a murder got committed from a serial killer. At night Yu suddenly get pulled in by the TV when he got close leading to him pulling out when his upper body got sucked hurting himself. Turns out his friends got the same thing but they don't believe the portal that happened on the screen. It wasn't until he and others got in the tv and went back to the real world after looking around and meeting a bear.
Yu and Yosuke went to the tv to investigate the murders with Yu awakening his persona to defeat the Shadows. Yukiko disappears and realizing she's the next victim Chie, Yosuke and Yu goes in the TV to save here. Chie then encounter her Shadow self and Yu defeats it saving her and facing her demons. He now becomes the leader of the team to stop the murders from happening in the real world. They managed to save Yukiko after she accepted her Shadow while also defeating it. Of course, the group are investigating the murders as times goes by in the story including saving the ones he know such as Kanji, Teddie, and Rise from their shadows. Now Yu is after Mitsuo who is the killer he and his group and coming after in the TV as a way to stop him from the evil deeds. Before they could do anything they are battling his Shadow and after that's done, they handed him over to the police.
They enjoyed their vacation until it ends. Now he is saving Naoto from being murdered continuing the investigation in the team and the case at hand. It was not until he ends up getting a threat letter from the real killer two times until Dojima founds out leading to Yu being interrogated for being involved in the case. He didn't believe it and Yu had to stay for the rest of the day. It was not until that Nanoka was kidnapped by the culprit Namatame leading to them saving her as a promise to Ryotaro. They save her and is recovering.
It turns out her condition is worsening leading to her death devastating everyone and leading to everyone deciding what to do with Namatame in the hospital after the incident. Yu realizes there is something missing about Namatame and now got informed that Nanako is still alive. Teddie went missing and all of them went on a search to find him while also intending to find the true killer after realizing Namatame wasn't the one who caused everything. Yu came to the conclusion that Adachi is the true mastermind behind everything with her agreeing with the answer. Adachi was confronted by the group and ran into the TV knowing what will happen. They all confronted Adachi and reveals that the shadows will kill everyone once the fog is heavy and they all planned on what to do. They defeated Adachi and Amengo-Sagiri who was the cause of everything before returning back saving everyone from being killed by these two.
Things are not over as now they all found out that Marie is intending to kill herself and went missing which lead to Yu and everyone searching for Marie. They found her and revealed she was evil and intends to kill herself so their world will not be destroyed but everyone protest into doing that leading to them battling Kusumi-No-Okami. They defeated her and saved Marie in the channel. He then finds out there is a true mastermind behind everything in the story which that name is Izanami as she reveals she was the one who gave Adachi, Yu and Nano the powers in the past. Yu defeats her and then leaves the town with his friends waving him goodbye. And then he comes back as as reunion on summer.
Yu comes back to Inaba from a holiday as he meets his uncle and nephew. He sees the midnight channel in a state of shock as he saw him and his friends on a tournament with weird allies. Calling Yosuke about this, he intends to investigate tomorrow and found out Teddie, including Rise and Kanji disappeared out of nowhere. He and his team go into the channel to investigate but got sucked into a different world before appearing in the velvet room with Margaret.
He appears in the music room of his school as he hears Teddie and Rise nowhere in the tournament, and before he could do anything, Yu was greeted by Yosuke and lose since he chose not to fight. He gets informed that Nanako is in the channel. Demanding to know where she is, Yu asked Yosuke but realizing something is wrong with him and out of character Yu battles Yosuke. He wins and helped Yosuke after he is normal from the misunderstood conversation before investigating.
Yu continues to investigate as he met a girl named Labrys as a student president so they both went in the gym. Teddie then mocks Labeys but Yu steps in and stops Teddie. Before that Yukiko appears as Yu tells her what’s happening but battles her when realising something is wrong just like Yosuke with the wording. Now he intends to stop Teddie for what he’s doing in the tv before the situation gets worse for him and his friends.
Yu catches up to Labeys continuing his goals. He continues until Labeys gets insane when asked about her name and not remembering causing both him and Chie to calm her down but she runs away. He got a message from Rise but gets cut off since she was kidnapped. He met Aigis and battles her before Elizebeth came with him protecting Aigis from the debris. He fights Elizabeth and almost lost since Elizebeth decides to end the battle and makes her leave. He helps Aigis and she reveals why she came which is a weapon just like her causing all the incident before he leaves.
He got to the announcer room and met evil Teddie as she retrieved Nanako. Rias warned him about the trap evil Teddie did as an attempt to kill Yu. Teddie reveals his true form as shadow Labeys and battles her when Labeys did not accept her shadow. Labeys then accept her shadow thanks to Yu and other's encouraging words. Labeys got hacked by someone so he fought that person who is responsible for pushing Labeys in the tv still being furious on what happened before that person went away. Now intending to find the real culprit he formed the investigation team back after returning to his friends.
The grand prix happened again but this time in the real world where General Teddie intends to end the world if there is no champion to all the persona users. He runs into many obstacles as he faces shadow companions of his friends and helped them survive. He now runs into So as he tries to kill him and his friends but Naoto and Labrys just in time to save him but So escapes to continue his plan to destroy the world.
He and the others saved the other team who were captured including Mitsuru as Yu goes in to stop So's plan and save him from the troubled past stopping him from hurting Adachi before he faced off against Kagutsuchi intending to end the world. Yu and Adachi killed Kagutsuchi saving the world disbanding the investigation team before leaving the city after his golden week is over.
Corrupting Factors
Nothing that I can think or remember.
Admirable Standard
I would go far as to say he is the most admirable character in the franchise in my eyes. not really but up there. As the leader of the investigation team, Yu stopped Adachi from his sadistic killings such as saving his friends and Nanako in the television world from the shadows, saved the world from the shadows and Adachi, and even redeemed him after his defeat and imprisonment. He and his team also helped Namatame from the manipulations of Adachi from Inaba. Before leaving Inaba, Yu realizing the true mastermind Izanami intentions, had himself and the team defeat her from committing omnicide.
In Arena, he helped Labrys into being saved in the grand prix by helping and defeating her shadow stopping the sadistic game from general teddie. And his most admirable act being Yu and Adachi stopping and ending Hinokagutsuchi terror which lead to So redeeming himself after all the sadistic terror he has done. So with that, I think it is safe to say Yu passes the standards easily.
Final Verdict
Deadpool: So is this all you have to say to the viewers from your introduction to the proposal systems?
Bazil: Yes. That's all I did.
Deadpool: I do not understand yet at the same time, I sorta get the system of them. They seem kinda boring to me in your free time don't you think?
Bazil: I mean, not really I could say but I am just going to end this proposal right now before it escalates. Anyways, be sure to like this blog on my thoughts on more crime stopper heroes.
Both: Bye now.
