** ''Golden'' manages to make Adachi even creepier, by adding him as a Social Link. Provided you get the link high enough by the time the Investigation Team are trying to figure out the killer's identity, you get the option to protect him. Doing so initiates a TimeSkip to the Protagonist's final day in Inaba, at which point he privately confronts Adachi and asks if he's the killer. However, he continues to play dumb, right up until you choose to burn the letter that he sent you that was the only thing linking him to the crimes, at which point he makes [[NightmareFace this]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/a/aa/Creepy_Adachi_4.png/revision/latest?cb=20160919180615 face;]] before not only admitting to his crimes, but pointing out that ''destroying evidence is a crime''. He then tells the Protagonist that whenever he calls, he must pick up and not to try to change his number, ''because Adachi will track him down''. Worse yet, you still get the "Social Link Complete" sequence, in a pretty terrifying MoodWhiplash. In any case, enjoy [[NonStandardGameOver the Accomplice Ending]].

** There's also the state of Dojima in this ending, doubles as a TearJerker. His voice sounds absolutely ''pained'' about the events that unfolded (keep in mind that it was more than 3 months since Nanako's death, meaning he still hasn't moved on over what happened), and told Yu that, once he's gone, he's going to be all alone. But would truly cement this is how Dojima told him that, if evil has to be dealt with, but with no one else willing or able to deal with them, then it's up to the person to put a stop to this. In other words, he had a hitch that the heroes had something to do with Namatame's death, but decides to cover it up because he feels that no one else is willing or able to punish him, and that it's the only way to punish him. in other words, ''he's become as corrupt as the rest of the police force,'' being no better than the very same force he butts heads with because of their corruption and incompetence.

*** Even creepier is that his primary motive, outside of boredom, is misogyny - he felt justified in attacking both Mayumi and Saki because he felt that they were "easy" and that they shouldn't have been able to say no to his advances. There are a few hints dotted throughout his social link that he has appalling views about women - the biggest one being the conversation you have with him where he details going after "bombshells", while also wanting a woman who could cook for him (showing that he thinks of women as being useful for their looks and because they could serve him) - but the disturbing thing is that these red flags are so difficult to pick up on. Why? Because of how similar they are to things other characters in the game say, including/especially Yousuke. Adachi's a creep and an attempted rapist, and all the signs of this are easy to ignore because he doesn't sound like he's a danger to women; he sounds like he's just taking part in "guy talk".

*** Even worse is the fact that that sound? That's the same sound that The Reaper makes while hunting for you in VideoGame/Persona3. People who played that game might go into an instinctual panic just remembering how fast the Reaper could catch up to the player in that game.

** If you tune in to Tanaka's Amazing Commodities after 11/27, instead of offering any usable items, he's selling gas masks and first aid kits to cash in on the dread. Also, he sells out before you can even choose to buy anything -- [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness this is how bad the public is panicking]].
