Wakaba is too young to be involved in the Kirijo group's mad science.

ED: From what I understand, Aigis sealed Death away in around 1999 (10 years before P3). Wakaba would have been a teenager at that time.

@ Native Jovian: I acknowledge the meme isn't really accurate, but I find it amusing.

[up] I'm guessing 5 is accepted as taking place in 2016?

She could have joined later depending on how old she is.

Plus, the Kirijo group is still a thing post P3 isn't it?

For every shadow connected threat that isn't solved by the specific MC's of a specific persona game, it's probably being taken care of by the Kirijo group via the Shadow Operatives.

And then, to connect Persona 4 to the mix, it turns out Dojima's wife was working on the same project and was killed by Shido for getting too close.

The legend has returned.

The Idea of Shido being behind a lot of the bad shit in the previous post Persona 2 games would be great fanfic fuel.

Including the possibility of Ken being an illegimate child of his like how some speculate Ftaba is one of his, too.

That certainly seems like the type of thing you'd see in a fanfic.

I have it on good authority Shido also shot Bambi's mom.

I just did Futaba's Palace. Poor girl.

Also, I took Makoto to the arcade when gaining her as a Confidant. I've corrupted her into a gamer.

I've been watching the P3 social links on Youtube as I've forgotten how most of them go. Some of them are kind of dumb, particularly the ones where you have to agree with your friends' more aggravating views to get max points, but man, the good ones... Maiko, Akinari, the poor old couple... some of the most powerful storytelling I've ever seen in a video game, and I know ragging on Hashino-era Persona is "in" these days but I absolutely feel no shame in saying that.

I like the kid who doesn't want to be a doctor but gets peer pressured by dozens of people nearly dying around him every time he leaves the house.

I think his dad was probably poisoning those people tbh.

Or maybe it was Shido again.

Anyway I know there are good Social Links in the series but I'm still bummed a lot of them are "do exactly what society asks of you, nerd."

The aforementioned Keisuke was the only one I found really bad in that regard tbh. People say that about Yukiko's too but I can tell they were really going for a sort of "You're loved more than you think you are" message that unintentionally came off as pro-conformist due to the context.

On today's episode of "Ryuji is a dumb boy."

Ryuji thinks LA is comparable to Hawaii for a trip. I can tell you that Hawaii is way better even when considering the greater heat and humidity.

Ryuji thinks Los Angeles is the capital of America and therefore must be in the middle somewhere

At first I'd deride him but its not like I know the capital of Japan or Britain either.

I knew it was one or the other but a nagging feeling at the back of my mind kept going "Wait what if its not."

@Rodimus: Nah. Too much like Brother and Sister to me for it to work.

They've said so outright in their interactions with each other, too.

Aside from Joker and Makoto, i don't really ship the Thieves with each other, feels weird for some reason.
