If I had a nickel for every time Jad Saxton voiced a goth-like anime girl who plays Cinderella at their school festival I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Shadow Yosuke’s Symbolism

I recently got a friend to play Persona 4 and we were talking about the symbolism of each of the character’s shadow selves, when we came to the realisation that neither of us really knew what Yosuke’s was meant to represent.

Chie’s represented her relationship with Yukiko. Yukiko’s her desire for freedom but lack of action in taking it. Yosuke has… a ninja frog…?

So I’ve done some digging.

Official Statements

The first thing I did was look at the official concept art sheet for shadow Yosuke. This primarily detailed that as the first of the shadows, they wanted it to be very obvious that their shadow’s and persona’s were the same thing.

This is done quite well and tells players subtly that they are the same without being obvious.

Jiraiya does look a lot like shadow Yosuke. The main body’s colour is inverted from black (evil) to white (good), the frogs eyes are added to Jiraiya’s head and the frog’s mouth becomes a chest piece, with the frog’s skin pattern carried over to the cuffs of Jiraiya’s clothes.

Jiraiya is easily the most similar persona to shadow. Important for early game. This idea is also helped by Tomoe looking very similar to shadow Chie, and allows the idea of persona’s and shadow’s being the same to be cemented into the players minds before they meet shadow Yukiko who is visually very different to Konohana-Sakuya.

Jiraiya In Folklore

My next step was to look for any symbolism between Yosuke and the story of Jiraiya himself. Granted, as a white woman™️ my knowledge of Japanese folklore is limited but I will summarise my findings and compare them to Yosuke’s story directly.

[Sorry for the weird formatting, I’m working around the 10 image post limit]

Both stories open with a character from an influential background and moving to a new area.

Jiraiya’s stance as a robber could be in reference to the fact that Junes is taking business away from local businesses and their families.

Saki could be taking the place of the woman in the house. Regardless of if she actually likes him, she is kind to him when others are not. This is something Yosuke admires greatly but it still doesn’t prevent Junes from ruining the Konishi’s business.

His shadow self is then a reference to the old man/magic frog. It recognises him from who he is, and although the shadow is hostile its intention is to teach Yosuke about the parts of himself he is trying to hide so he can reconcile with those feelings. This is what allows him to gain his persona, or in other words “teaching him magic”

Gaining his persona is what helps set Yosuke’s resolve and desire to avenge Saki and the others who have suffered due to the killer. He shows a distinct intelligence and is often the one to piece together vital information. Without him insisting they investigate Saki’s murder, the Investigation Team might not have ever existed. In that sense you could consider him a hero.

A good portion of his social link is devoted to him coming to terms with his situation, both around the murders and his place within Inaba. He frequently talks about feelings of loneliness and a desire to be valued, and he finds comfort in having his persona and being able to do something about what’s going on, it gives him some control over his life which he lost by coming to Inaba in the first place. Overtime though he does come to love Inaba as a whole and recognises that it’s the people around you that really make a place special. He’s not alone anymore and he’s far happier for it.

Other Potential Inspirations

In my attempts at seeing what others online think about potential symbolism for Yosuke’s shadow, I found that most people also did not understand what his shadow was meant to represent. However, I did come across a few older threads of people sharing possible ideas.

One of which was of a Chinese story about a frog in a well. The story related to narrow mindedness and limited perspective as the frog is unaware of life beyond the well and is amazed by it when told what it has to offer. This could be a potential reference to his dismissal of country life and him growing to love the town.

Round 2 Has Finished!

Hey, no tiebreakers this time!

Not much to say this time. Most of the results were what I expected but I do have some questions about others (please feel free to answer said questions).

If you would like to see the percentages and some commentary, continue reading. If not, I will see you soon for round 3.

Ayame Mikuri (51.9%) vs Miyuri Yukari

Pia Undo vs Tsubasa Hanekawa (75.2%) - I know nothing about Divine Gate, but I do think Pia's outfit is quite cute. A little sad she lost.

Toyo vs Madoka Kaname (84.3%)

Livia Medeiros (50.7%) vs Rena Minami - ... Really? Alright then.

Sana Futaba (78.3%) vs Asahi Miura

Kaede Akino (56.8%) vs Sudachi Suwa

Mikoto Sena (51.7%) vs Hotaru Yura

Saki Asami vs Mikage Yakumo (82.6%)

Sasara Minagi vs Amaryllis (81.1%) - This was a much larger gap than I expected. Is her story that good or do people mostly just like the design better?

Ren Isuzu (76.3%) vs Kokoro Awane

Kuro vs Nanaka Tokiwa (70.9%)

Kagari Hinata vs Alina Gray (85.7%)

Mikura Komachi vs Yu (76.9%) - Please, I am begging someone to tell me why Yu. Why is she so popular? It can't be because she's a serial killer, other serial killer magical girls have lost this already.

Himena Aika (62.5%) vs Sayuki Fumino

Ashley Taylor (70.7%) vs Meiyui Chun

Mel Anna (77.1%) vs Ryoko Natsu

Hazuki Yusa  vs Eternal Sakura (71.2%)

Mayu Kozue (53.4%) vs Kako Natsume

Rui Mizuki vs Kanoko Yachiyo (64.8%) - Aw man, the resident chuunibyou lost...

Masara Kagami vs Juri Oba (57.3%)

Kyoko Sakura (88.8%) vs Tsubaki Mikoto

Riz Hawkwood (75.4%) vs Kanna Hijiri

Chiharu Hiroe vs Mito Aino (59.2%)

Corbeau vs Tsuruno Yui (70.4%)

Yuma Chitose vs Mitama Yakumo (77.6%)

Yuna Kureha (66.2%) vs Riko Chiaki

Ayaka Mariko (74.6%) vs Meguru Hibiki

Momoko Togame vs Ui Tamaki (52.1%) - This was a little closer than I expected.

Ao Kasane (52.7%) vs Suruga Kanbaru - For a while, I really thought Suruga was going to win this.

Gunhild vs Homura Akemi (85.2%)

Sae Kirino vs Nagisa Momoe (74.3%)

Iroha Tamaki vs Yachiyo Nanami (62%) - It feels early to have two major characters face off, but the RNG willed it. And it wasn't that close.

Seika Kumi vs Nayuta Satomi (52.6%)

Karin Misono (56.7%) vs Kanae Yukino

Konoha Shizumi (68.9%) vs Shigure Miyabi

Oriko Mikuni (76.9%) vs Lapin

Olga vs Mifuyu Azusa (59.5%)

Kirika Kure (63%) vs Konomi Haruna

Watson: Sherlock…

Humans are fragile, and fleeting Be it a deep reason for living, or a fleeting dream If someone decides they want to live Their world becomes ever more beautiful

I need to make him realize It’s something only I can do Like you taught me, a friend’ duty is to teach another friend what’s important

Sherlock, I’m so relieved You know, right here, what’s important You know what’s right, though you may not know where the path leads you I’m sure you’ll make no mistake, and find the right path

Sherlock: I don’t know what lies beyond this darkness Yet still I will go to him John: This path that You’ve decided to walk Come closer to him With all your heart

His pain His everything Accept it all

I want to / Go, do it

John, you Listen, Sherlock

No matter what happens I want you to believe in me I believe in you

I hold our friendship with me I hold our friendship with me*

懸ける - means to put on a cloak, so I’m guessing the song means that on his pursuit to find William, Sherlock keeps close his friendship to John in his heart, that without it he can’t do what he must do (IM FEELS)

NOTE: Unlike before, I only based this on what's on the booklet, rather than the audio. (Bec I don't have a copy of the audio rn!! Big gomens!)

さあ行こう　空の果て Saa yukou sora no hate キミとボクのミライ Kimi to boku no mirai まだ見ぬ空の物語　紡いで Mada minu sora no monogatari tsumuide

蒼い軌跡を記すダイアリー Aoi kiseki wo shirusu daiarii あの日誓ったハジマリの意思 Ano hi chikatta hajimari no ishi 追いかけた夢の背中 Oikaketa yume no senaka 越えてきた力とともに Koetekita chikara to tomo ni

それぞれが選ぶ道 Sorezore ga erabu michi 行き先は違っても Ikisaki wa chigattemo 遠く遠く手を伸ばし Tooku tooku te o nobashi 想像の先へ　羽撃け Souzou no saki e habatake

さあ行こう　時空を越え Saa yukou toki o koe キミとボクのミライ Kimi to boku no mirai 初めて知った　広い世界へ Hajimete shitta hiroi sekai e さあ飛ぼう　寂しさに泣いた　夜を重ね Saa tobou sabishisa ni naita yoru o kasane 運命の意味　(いつか) Unmei no imi (itsuka) きっとわかるよ　(キミと) Kitto wakaru yo (kimi to) 煌めく星の物語　辿って Kirameku hoshi no monogatari tadotte

LET'S GO I DID 3D MODEL EDITS❗

this is their casual outfits, Yuki and Minako doesn't wear that exact outfit but there's no Gyaru or gothic Lolita outfits in project sekai(from what I saw) so I've had to deal with what I had :)

HAYATE IN GLASSES IS REAL

I really like how they all came out
