4
5	On January 31st, before heading off to his final battle with his friends, Minato Arisato decided to spend what time he had remaining to go around Iwatodai City, eventually coming to Paulownia Mall, where he found and met Eucliwood Hellscythe. After spending some time together, they both considered each other as friends prior to Minato having to leave.
6
7	Three months later, which by that point Minato had been dead for one month, while maintaining the Great Seal, Minato suddenly found himself in a graveyard with Eucliwood under a moonlit sky. He then learned that he had been resurrected by her, and he had become a zombie and her servant.
8	----
9	!!Tropes found in this fanfiction:
10	* TheAce: When it comes to [[BreadEggsMilkSquick cooking, acuity, or combat]], Minato is undeniably respected by his housemates.
11	* ApatheticCitizens: The students from Ayumu's high school if Megalos are involved, much to Minato's annoyance.
12	* BackFromTheDead: Minato was deceased for about a month before Eucliwood revived him.
13	* BrickJoke: Minato offhandedly muses to himself in chapter 3 that he would never taste anything more worse than Fuuka Yamagishi's food from when she started cooking. [[spoiler: Come next chapter, he is subjected to [[LethalChef Seraphim]]'s hot pot and immediately faints upon tasting it]].
14	* CallingYourAttacks: On the occasions where Minato summons a Persona, he sometimes says the name of a skill that he'll be using, such as [[ShockAndAwe Ziodyne]] or [[PlayingWithFire Maragidyne]]. He also says percentages of power that he's going to utilize aloud.
15	* ChekhovsGun: In chapter 1, it's assumed that Eu dug up Minato's grave before she brought him back to life. [[spoiler: Near the beginning of chapter 2, Aigis, out of coincidence, goes to visit Minato's grave and subsequently learns that it has been disturbed, much to her horror. By the time Minato and Eu realized that they forgot to re-bury the grave, they had been in Tokyo for a whole day]].
16	%%* ChickMagnet: Minato, but like Ayumu in canon, being one is both good and bad for him.
17	* TheComicallySerious: If Minato seems like he's being funny, he's usually trying not to be and is merely being honest. One example of this is when Orito wonders why Minato is so "lucky" (popular with girls) and if it's because Minato's a {{Bishonen}}. Not certain if it was really true or not, Minato simply replies with a "maybe".
18	* DeathIsCheap: Comes with being a zombie for Minato and Ayumu.
19	* DeliberateInjuryGambit: [[spoiler: Minato did this when he fought Sera. Without anything to block her sword, he used one of his arms to shield himself so he wouldn't get completely sliced up]].
20	* EnragedByIdiocy: "Enraged" is a strong word, but Minato was rather upset when he noticed students of Ayumu's school showing no signs of interest or bewilderment from the crawfish Megalo that Ayumu killed. Especially since '''[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight most of them actually saw it]]'''.
21	* FamedInStory: Apparently [[spoiler: within the span of a few months after his [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice]], vampire ninjas have become aware of who Minato is and regard him as a Messiah]].
22	* FlippingTheBird: Orito did this to Ayumu when the latter claimed that the former can't beat Minato in bowling.
23	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In chapter 3, it's stated that Eu sometimes watches detective TV shows. [[spoiler: Jumping ahead to the end of chapter 3, [[BornDetective Naoto]] [[KidDetective Shirogane]] is called in by Mitsuru to search for Minato]].
24	* HaremSeeker: Ayumu's friend, Orito, believes Minato is one and also assumes Minato has a harem that includes Eucliwood, Haruna, and Seraphim.
25	%%* HeavySleeper: According to chapter 4, Minato is this.
26	* HospitalityForHeroes: Seraphim is ''quite'' cordial with Minato, [[spoiler: possibly because she knows who he is]].
27	* IAmNotLeftHanded: Despite two encounters that he had with Megalos, Minato felt there was never a point in time in which he actually needed to exert most of his power [[spoiler: until Seraphim bisected Ayumu]].
28	* InSpiteOfANail: Ayumu dies the same way he did in canon, even after meeting both Eucliwood and Minato.
29	* JustSmileAndNod: Or what Minato did to some girls from Ayumu's school: smile and wave.
30	* LetsGetDangerous: Though normally reserved like Eucliwood, Minato is a force to be reckoned with if a situation that involves his friends becomes more dire.
31	* MagicalGirlfriend: Some time in the future, Minato gets a vampire ninja wife.
32	* MistressAndServantBoy:
33	** After his resurrection, Eu tells Minato that he's now her servant, [[ItMakesSenseInContext which he accepts with little to no hesitation]].
34	** [[spoiler: In an inverted case, Seraphim was Minato's servant for less than a day before Minato stated to her that he had no interest in the prospect]].
35	* MoodWhiplash: Part of chapter 1 describes Minato's boredom and sadness while he was the Great Seal. The next scene then reveals that he's been brought back to life.
36	* MysteriousPast: Ayumu, Haruna, and Seraphim were, for the most part, kept in the dark about Minato's past [[spoiler: until Minato actually decided to tell them in chapter 4. Also, Eu kept tabs on Minato while he was alive, so she was fully aware of what happened to him]].
37	* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Undead, in this case. Haruna sounded disgusted upon learning that Ayumu is a zombie. Needless to say, Ayumu was offended.
38	--> '''Ayumu''' (to Haruna): "Show some respect for the undead."
39	* TheNicknamer: Just like in canon, Haruna gives people nicknames mostly because she can't memorize their names. She does, however, memorize Minato's name, but she often refers to him as "Blue".
40	* NinjaMaid: [[spoiler: Seraphim was Minato's servant, albeit for a very short amount of time. The reason why is because Minato told her that he wasn't interested in having his own servant, let alone being a master]].
41	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In Minato's case, he's a zombie Persona-user.
42	* OutOfFocus: Ayumu; only just a little. While he has his time in the spotlight and is still an important character, Ayumu is slightly less focused on since the story mainly revolves around Minato.
43	* PrecisionFStrike: Shortly after Eu resurrects Minato, he asks her where he is. She told him that he's in a graveyard. His response? "...What a fan-fucking-tastic place to wake up in."
44	* PreMeeting: How the story practically begins, with Minato meeting Eucliwood at Paulownia Mall. He had no idea as to who she really is [[TimeSkip until months later]].
45	* PrettyFreeloaders: Minato is a male, subverted example as he does cook and goes out shopping for food sometimes while he lives in Ayumu's house.
46	* RedOniBlueOni: Though not stated outright, it's rather obvious that Ayumu is the red to Minato's blue.
47	* TheReveal: [[spoiler: While their exact relationship is unknown so far, Minato and Naoto Shirogane do know each other. And Naoto refers to Minato as her '''brother''']].
48	--> [[spoiler: '''Naoto''' (thinking in regards to Minato):]] '' 'I '' will ''find you, [[spoiler: Nii-san...]]' ''
49	%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Ayumu and Minato.
50	* ShoutOut:
51	** When asked about how he felt being in graveyard by Ayumu, Minato responded that he's "[[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 really]] [[SubvertedTrope not]] [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros feeling]] [[MemeticMutation it]]".
52	** While Minato was looking for news reports online [[spoiler: that were related to [[ItMakesSenseInContext his desecrated grave]]]], he came across one article that detailed [[Literature/{{The Familiar of Zero}} an adolescent teen's sudden and mysterious disappearance]].
53	* StartingANewLife: Minato decided to leave Iwatodai with Eu to go to Tokyo to live out his undead days because he did not want to get involved in any drama that could spring up from his resurrection.
54	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Instead of having his normal gray eyes, Minato's eye color changed to gold after Eu revived him. Even though he made an assumption that it's a side effect that occurs when a Persona-user becomes a zombie, he isn't too sure as to why the alteration happened. He chooses to accept it, in the end.
55	* SuperStrength: Because Minato is a zombie, he can bypass normal human limits in strength if he wants to. Although, he doesn't like using the ability too much because of its drawbacks.
56	* TarotMotifs: Important characters that Minato interacts with can potentially trigger Social Links. With Social Links, they give him better understandings of people's personalities.
57	** Eucliwood Hellscythe: Death
58	** Ayumu Aikawa: Temperance
59	** Haruna: Chariot
60	** Seraphim: Fortune
61	%%* ThroughHisStomach: Sera seems to be doing this to Minato.
62	* TimeSkip: There are a few in the story that skips about a month or so to move the plot forward.
63	* TitleOfTheDead: Chapter 4's title is "Halcyon Days of the Dead".
64	* TheUnmasking: In a more blissfully unaware sense, [[spoiler: Seraphim reveals to Minato, Ayumu and Haruna that Minato is a "Messiah" after Minato bested Seraphim in their fight. This promptly coaxes Minato into telling his housemates about his past]].
65	* WeaksauceWeakness: Zombies can become dehydrated under sunlight. Subverted with Minato since he quickly learns that [[RequiredSecondaryPowers he can nullify that weakness with a Persona]]. [[UnluckyEverydude Ayumu, on the other hand...]]
66	* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler: If Minato had just used a Persona that had Null Slash, Seraphim would have been defeated without much trouble]].
67	* WouldHitAGirl: Although he didn't like the idea very much, Minato was willing to punch Sera [[spoiler: once she took down Ayumu with ease]].
68	* YouLookFamiliar:
69	** Prior to Minato introducing himself to Ayumu, Ayumu believed that he had seen Minato somewhere in the past. Shortly after Ayumu was killed and revived by Eu, he then remembered that he saw a picture of Minato on a news report regarding Minato's abnormal death.
70	** When Theodore is introduced to Minato in chapter 4, [[VideoGame/{{Persona Q Shadow Of The Labyrinth}} Theodore assumes that he met Minato before]] [[FridgeBrilliance but can't recall when and where]].
