"I'll put you out of your misery!"

I'm done with P4G and I'm just now getting into P4AU 👀 ya'll best know why.

Izanagi is evolving into Magatsu Izanagi! Press B to stop it from evolving!

...remember in Adachi's Golden social link when he tells the protagonist that they had the same power? Maybe that was literal.

As you progress through Yomotsuhirasaka, Izanami talks to you and conveniently explains the plot. One of her lines is about Adachi. When I read the English version of this, it seems really straightforward: Adachi did indeed use his TV power to do a little murder.

But when I read it in Japanese, I feel like Izanami is implying things about Adachi (and also the protag and Namatame). I don't have an issue with how this line is in English. It's just, the "...allowed evil to taint his awakened power..." bit is "...his awakened power was corrupted by 'magatsu'..." in Japanese (I hate leaving words un-translated, but it kinda needs to be for this post sry).

If you've read my tl;dr post about the Kojiki, you'll know about the significance of "magatsu" and the imagery that might be associated with Adachi having a Persona named Magatsu Izanagi.

For Adachi's power to described as "corrupted by 'magatsu'" gives me the idea that he did not actually start with Magatsu Izanagi as his Persona. I think Izanami is implying on this line that the protagonist, Adachi, and Namatame all started with a basic Izanagi after getting the handshake from Izanami.

And then they all went different paths:

Protagonist: His Izanagi evolves into Izanagi no Okami after he forges bonds with people around Inaba and creates The World. He completes his Fool's Journey.

Adachi: His Izanagi evolves into Magatsu Izanagi. If I had to pinpoint when this happened, I would assume it's after he murders Mayumi? Him reacting very poorly to learning the truth about a woman would set him on the same path as the mythological Izanagi.

Namatame: His Izanagi never awakens. If you ask me, Namatame not awakening his Persona is related to his Persona being Izanagi and him cheating on his wife lol. Izanagi was a moron, but his reaction to Izanami's death was to go on a road trip to the underworld to get her back, not go tap a TV announcer.

Since the protagonist's Izanagi evolves into Super Izanagi at the end, and your party members all have awakenings at SLink 10 and then again in January, I feel like it's possible that Adachi's Persona could also change into something else.

Anyway, just the vibe I get from reading into Izanami's line too much. 🤓

Hello again Tumblr

It is 1am, and I bring you a redraw of some art from 5 years ago.

I haven't drawn Adachi in forever. (also, I am very tired and decided to do this in the afternoon after braving the Christmas crowds for some medication. I was unsuccessful)

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! Persona 4 is one of the best JRPGs I have ever played. That opinion is not likely to change as is my love for the primary Personas of the game's story, Izanagi, his doppelganger and his evolved form. Named after the creator god of Japanese mythology, the Izanagis all appear as badass samurai knight hybrids with serrated naginatas, platform ax shoes and lightning powers. Quite the striking profile but that's not all. I have my own special little attachments to each one. Izanagi is the weak starter Persona but it was a lot of fun to train him up to  be a late game monster using P4G's systems (also, Cross Slash in P5 wrecks house). Magatsu-Izanagi is the persona of my P4A & BBTAG main and also has an intimidating cracked blood red and black color scheme. Finally, Izanagi No-Ookami's appearances may be used more sparingly but it makes one heck of an entrance and was scarily powerful in P5R (as it should be)...and yes, every one of these guys appears as DLC in Persona 5 & Royal and I had a blast using them there too. However, one of the coolest things I found was how each version of Izanagi relates both to the story and the primary myth about him: his journey to find his dead wife, Izanami. To go into it in detail would be too much for this blog post so I'll just put a link to the story below and sum it up thusly: Izanagi is the one who runs towards the truth, Magatsu-Izanagi runs away from the truth, and Izanagi No-Ookami stands defiantly in the face of the truth. It's pretty amazing when you have the full context and just part of the reason I think all the Izanagis (and Persona 4, though that deserves its own post) are wonderful.

Spino already posted it earlier, I’ll link to his post here.

Woo! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve finished up a commission. I’m on something of a soft open right now as I get back into the groove of things, so I definitely have slots open.

Took notes from the Judgment game cover, the B/W/Grey P5 key art (the one where the cast is walking away from the city towards the viewer), and Adachi’s P4 Dungeon.

We went for a cleaned-up unclean feel.

Definitely click for full details - I think my favorites have to be the fracturing yellow and red glasses--the ones behind his tie and head, respectively. (I’ll share some detail zoom-in’s later)

dude this is one bullshit family tree

[blueskittlesart]

or the spending 5 hours in the velvet room using a combination of edexcel and google to make the ultimate WMD persona to the point Igors just getting pissed at the fact that youve made a literal god

i feel like there was probably a first part to this ask that i didnt get but anyway my toxic trait is that i literally dont understand persona fusion and i do not want to learn. i used 3 personas to beat every fight in p5 and all 3 of them came from the dlc

My Adachi and Friends shelf is growing 💸

[ultimatecutenesspeaks]

Bunny haruki and mizuki follow her behind and enter the room inside they see the old ruler of the tower arcana and izanagi rival himself in all his glory

*His glowing eyes narrow as they enter, and his bloodied appearance matches that of the tower.*

Magatsu-Izanagi: Who goes the--?!

*He cuts himself off as he notices Ame-Onna there, and his eyes widen in shock.*
