History TearJerker / Persona3TheMovie

* Earlier in the movie, we had Yukari's reaction to her father's video. It causes her to lash out at Mitsuru and then run off. Then at the beach, she talks about her past and how she feels everything she did to prove her father's innocence, including joining SEES, was for nothing. Thankfully it's followed by a HeartWarmingMoment from Makoto.

* Makoto and Natsuki's conversation has a somber and depressing tone. After hearing Natsuki's MotiveRant on why she bullied Fuuka (in short Fuuka told her something Natsuki thought was insensitive), Makoto repeats what Fuuka had told him in their second conversation. That she was sorry but couldn't get the words out because she was afraid Natsuki wouldn't forgive her, which she feared because she saw Natsuki as her friend. The angry look Makoto has when speaking is the first time we've seen him this frustrated, indicating that he does care about what happens to Fuuka.

*** Ken taking Shinji, Aigis and Makoto to a special spot to watch the fireworks. The same spot where his ''late mother'' would take him. Then, he expresses how happy he is because he felt like losing her meant everything good in his life was over until joining S.E.E.S. with ''Shinjiro standing right next to him.''

*** Ken's motivations ends up being a bit more sympathetic. [[spoiler: While in the game, he hated Shinjiro through and through, but in the movie, he initially likes Shinjiro until the truth is revealed - his motivations for revenge end up springing from feelings of betrayal, at least from his perspective.]]

** When he walks into his room and leaves Natsuki alone, his hands and stiff body structure indicate he's angry and about done with everything.

* Makoto and Natsuki's conversation has a somber and depressing tone. After hearing Natsuki's MotiveRant on why she bullied Fuuka (in short Fuuka told her something that she didn't realize was insensitive), Makoto repeats what Fuuka had told him in their second conversation. That she was sorry but couldn't get the words out because she was afraid Natsuki wouldn't forgive her, which she feared because she saw Natsuki as her friend. The angry look Makoto has when speaking is the first time we've seen him this frustrated, indicating that he does care about what happens to Fuuka.

*** In the first movie, we'd seen Makoto flash back to his parents' deaths several times, usually when his friends are in danger, indicating that despite his [[SafetyInIndifference apparent indifference to death]], it's actually a big trigger of his. So watching [[spoiler:Shinjiro die is like watching history repeat itself in his POV, and you see this in his broken, horrified expression during the funeral.]]
** And to top it off [[spoiler: Akihiko looking pained as he holds Shinjiro's hand, which then slips away as the latter dies. He'd sworn never to let another loved one die, but then this happens and he's powerless again.]]
** And then [[spoiler:Shinji's funeral. Makoto is apparently still in BSOD on that, and the seniors who never even knew Shinjiro spend their time badmouthing the guy. Like in the game, Junpei tells them to shut up, but almost ends up in trouble for it.]]

** And then [[spoiler:Shinji's funeral. Makoto is apparently still in BSOD on that, so it's Junpei who told the badmouthing senpai to shut up. Yet, he's just as equally rageful and grieving just like in the game when the player/Makoto was the one initiating that.]]

He'd sworn never to let another loved one die, but then this happens and he's powerless again. Worse, he's the one who suggested they defeat the Full-Moon Shadow boss first before looking for Ken and Shinjiro.]]

** Also, [[spoiler: Makoto's hesitance during the Full Moon Shadow fight delays SEES in defeating it. Which also delays them in searching for Ken and Shinjiro further, so when they find the two it's too late. Everyone's shocked at the events, but Makoto looks as though he's entering a HeroicBSOD.]]

** Also, [[spoiler: Makoto's hesitance during the Full Moon Shadow fight delays SEES in defeating it. Which also delays them in searching for Ken and Shinjiro further, so when they find the two it's too late. No doubt causing a HeroicBSOD in Makoto as well as everyone else.]]

** Made worse that Ken actually admired Shinjiro until he realized [[spoiler: Shinji killed his mother, breaking the pedestal Ken had for him. Also, Makoto's hesitance during the Full Moon Shadow fight delays SEES in looking for Ken and Shinjiro further, so when they find the two it's too late, no doubt causing a HeroicBSOD in Makoto as well as everyone else.]]

* [[spoiler: As to be expected, Shinjiro's death.]]

* "Die?...Die." The horrified look on Makoto's face in that scene says all, as he realizes SEES will be killed like his parents were if he doesn't take action.
