      Honestly me and my friend kinda were joking if someone was going to do a columbine, it'd be him.

      >Women won't have sex with me, society has failed, billions must die
      Adachi is the worst written villain I've ever seen, only circlejerked by Gankereddit because they can relate to Adachi's lack of sex life and intimacy. He is literally the definition of an incel.
      Adachi is so bad he makes Akechi look godlike in comparison.

      people like adachi are everywhere, he's a slightly above average intelligence guy who felt like life owed him more than what he had, he did everything society expected from him and yet he still was a miserable lonely moron because every time people tried to reach out to him he remained closed off living the same way he always has thinking that eventually one day every single one of his dreams will come true if he just keeps working hard. He's the complete opposite of yu who came alone to inaba and instead of getting frustrated and blaming the world for putting him there he did everything he could to form bonds with the people he loved to live an honest life (the whole fricking theme of the game). Adachi is by far the best villain of the series and should have been the real final boss, or at least had a proper second phase.

      > Gets homeschooled by neglective parents
      > So never properly learns how to truly connect to people, despite the fact that he had the same potential to be a social butterfly as Yu

      > literal god sets him up to murder somebody by giving him powers
      > 'this lady is my soulmate? Oh wow- whoops nevermind she's an affair having hoe'
      > gets utterly mental
      Personagays really don't play their games, it's crazy how many pretentious gays on the internet degrade Adachi's brilliant character to 'LMAO, he juw couldn't hit the homebase', when in reality his character represents people who just were unlucky with their life circumstances to truly be at their full potential, reason why Adachi (and Maruki) are the most talked persona villains is because there is truth in their words, they say things that resonate with people.

                Yeah people don't understand Japanese way of thinking has a lot to do with how Adachi ended up. They think being Japanese is just a random assortment of weird traditions mixed with degenerate fetishism. Japanese society expects you to do in a certain way and work your ass off, beginning with school. If you fail at any time your career is over and there are no second chances. You will become an outcast because everyone knows you failed and all your worth as a man equals to the worth you can produce.

              It's that he did it at the cost of literally everything else. I don't know why that's so hard for some people to understand.

              Adachi focused on his studies, at the behest of people who weren't interested in forming attachments with him, and he lost out on forming attachments himself. So he grew up without any kind of emotional or moral support, and consequently developed antisocial values, a twisted worldview, and a grossly inappropriate response to bad situations.

              Growing up in broken households and failing to relate to your peers are both very common traits for serial killers, school shooters, mass murderers, and dictators. Being unable to connect with people fricks you in the head.

            Even he admits he made "one little mistake." Considering he's an attempted rapist and murderer, that "one little mistake" could have actually been pretty bad. However, we don't know anything except that he screwed something up. Maybe harsh, maybe not.

        I agree with you. Even Chie of all characters would agree. I can't find a screenshot at the moment and don't remember the exact wording, but she spoke of Adachi and shared her thoughts on how she worried that maybe anyone could have ended up like him. Unironically probably one of the most mature things a video game character has ever said, even if that's a low bar.

                But I think Persona 2 and 3 were the closest in this regard. 2 doesn't have a happy ending and in 3 MC had to fricking die and suffer eternally for a "win".

                Neither of those are close to being stories where the hero just isn't good enough, Innocent Sin's is only the halfway point of the story and the full P2 ending has Tatsuya save the people he cares about, defeat Nyarlathotep and go back to the IS world hopeful about rebuilding it. P3's is just a story of self-sacrifice which only the protagonist was strong enough to do.

        No one played Persona 4, we just watched Best of Giant Bomb videos. While P4 is a good game the actual "game" part of it is really boring and dull, it's a game that's meant to be watched rather than played. I did actually play P5 and got pretty far before dropping it.

          I'm currently playing through it right now for the first time and I strongly disagree. This game would be nowhere as engaging if I wasn't the one making the choices for how I spend my days. I don't know how people can stomach Let's Plays over just playing the game yourself. You are completely robbing yourself of the immersion

        This is what his S.Link is pretty much all about in Golden. By the time Yu shows up in town Adachi is at a point where he's totally unable and to form actual connections with others and he sees all of their time together - as well the time he spends with Dojima and Nanako - as just going through the motions. He's a deeply broken person.

          Yes and this is why normalgays are getting angry about him. They can't understand him. This is why people who can relate really understand him. He objectively sees his situation and can't emphasize with others. Just like others can't emphasize with him.

        Yeah I think just reducing his character to "lol he couldn't have sex sucks." He's fricked up and needed some help before going down that path. Wish Dojima could've helped him in some way before he got that way he actually cared for Adachi

            Dojima gave Adachi shit because he's a grown fricking man acting like a teen. He still looked out for the guy, covered for his blunders, and kept inviting him into his home. He reached out his hand. Adachi never reached out in turn to open up about his troubles. We see from Dojima's S Link that most of his barking is a front and he's willing to connect with people and really help them if they actually reciprocate.

        >> Studies hard to become an elite detective
        You're ignoring the reason WHY he wanted to be one. Adachi plainly states the only reason why he wanted to be a policeman was so he could legally carry a gun. That isn't a real reason. The Persona series is all about self-actualization, which Adachi refuses to do. In P3 this is in relation to death (how can I cope with people dying around me or dying myself). In P4 it's about in relation to truth (who am I really?) in P5 it's about in relation to the world around you (how can I be my authentic self if the world wont let me?).

        Take Yukiko's S.Link for instance. From the start, she's determined to break away from her family's inn and strike out on her own. But through self relfection and growth, she realizes that she actually wants to stay. Adachi, despite being ego-centric, has no actual goal he's working towards, just a vague desire for power and comfort. This is what makes him a good villain and reflection of not only Yu, but almost every character you meet in P4.

        It's pathetic that the entire Persona 4 fandom including in this thread is massively moronic about Adachi 15 years later. People get so hung up on the boss fight Adachi they don't even reflect about his character arc. Adachi accidentally murdered someone, then he murdered another person. The entire game of Persona 4 Adachi tries to pin his crime on Namatame and when he's cornered he starts talking about LE SOCIETY IS LE BAD and merging the TV/Shadow World with reality. So why didn't he do this at the start of the game? Why did Adachi suddenly get possessed by a God and you fight the fog disco ball right after his unhinged rant?

        Could it be that December Adachi is possessed by the creepy fog disco ball? I mean, it literally comes out of his body. So the Persona 4 fandom focuses on that aspect of a possessed Adachi and memes the frick out of Shadow Adachi quotes. Nothing about Adachi's character lines up if you believe Shadow Adachi by the way. 3/4th of Persona 4 running time is Namatame kidnaps someone, you chase after them in the TV, and Adachi "supposedly" gets a huge laugh. This is the part where everyone shuts their brain off, though, because every time you rescued someone in the TV world in the foggy calendar deadlines a murderer appears in the fog moaning there wasn't a dead body.

        When Adachi has the perfect fall guy in the creepy kid copycat killer he instead insists that the real murderer is out there because he wants Namatame to get caught. Game would've been over with the copycat but Adachi kept it going, why is that, Persona 4 Adachi memers? For someone who supposedly doesn't care and planned to merge TV and Real World, he sure cares about not being caught by society and still enjoying society as it is. Adachi wants Namatame to get pinned for his crimes and continue his life, he only does the TV world rant when he's possessed by a literal fog God in December. Not defending him but many of you literally do not fricking think at all.

          Replay the game guys. Adachi is mad when you rescue someone because it means Namatame didn't kill someone, he knows and urges Namatame to keep rescuing people. Adachi gets so mad he even sent a threatening letter to your home to stop. He wanted Namatame to get blamed for the murder and get found guilty for the 2 murders adachi did, it was the perfect way to maintain his life in society. Shadow Adachi ranting about stuff while being possessed is irrelevant, the entire cast of the game knows Shadow people are not telling the whole truth.

          But the 1000 IQ Persona 4 fanbase just takes everything Shadow Adachi says at face value right before he shits out a disco ball God of fog.

        Wrong. Adachi simply doesn't care about connecting with others and view relationship with others as a weakness. Something he uses to mock Yu both in the game and anime. He could've been someone like Yu and connect with other people but choose not to.

          The money thing, I don't know where you took it from but yeah, nice strawman I guess.

          Having access to good connections is also a privilege. If you are born into a crab bucket poorhomosexual hood, you won't have good friends that will come and save you and you will never have the power to escape it either without resorting to underhanded means which will pull you even deeper into the worst aspects of humanity. You are a just world fallacy adherent moron that lacks ability for critical thinking. The only way Adachi could have made it in life if he could have gotten incredibly lucky and he didn't. He is correct to say that it is not fair or reasonable when confronted with people that had everything go their way their entire lives, when it came to thinks that matter. And no, having a dead lover or a failed fling does not matter, when you have the resources and support structures to recover and try again without completely undermining your existence.

          Adachi could have made good connections. He DECIDED to not make connections. You acting like Adachi just couldn't have been a better person if he tried socializing is a very conformist and lazy and gay viewpoint. Adachi and Yu are almost the same, that's the symbolism of their personas looking so similar. You and Adachi seem too comfy thinking that you had bad luck in life instead of recognizing that maybe you yourselves are the reason that you're a soul corrupted weirdo.

            You don't decide who you get to make connections with. You can only try, it is a two way street, If someone doesn't like you, they won't deal with you. If you're an average or below average looking and unsuccessful to boot, most people won't bother with you. If you're physically unappealing or disabled, most people will shun you and while Adachi was not in that group, it is also truth. Why do you need to have this explained? Do you realize that life is not fair, right? That we are not all equal. Not all people are the same. It is self evident. Why do you insist that it is Adachi's fault that life is the way it is? Sure, he is guilty of murder and attempted murder, no one denies that. But the circumstances that had led up to those actions, were something that was outside of his control. You don't just "try harder to be a better person" and then "win at life" like it's a fricking videogame. You either have it or you don't and that's all there is to it, the rest is up to luck. If you have it, you don't need luck. If you don't, then you need all the luck in the world just to get scraps of that which those that do have it, get. There's people that are 6'4 and post their much desired musclebound bodies on Instagram right now, desired and seen by all and people that are 5'4 that are dying of leukemia in shitty run down houses, whom no one wants to see or hear, because they are disgusting and messy and not all that fun to be around.

              Don't remember saying that life is fair at all, but the reason I can confidently say what I'm saying is because me myself used to be lonely and had weird ideas like Adachi himself. However, I actively searched for friends and got to know people like me, we talked about the things we felt (yeah yeah le gay feelings) and felt a lot less lonely. If I cried like a b***h about being unlucky, yeah, I'm sure right now I wouldn't be different from him.
              I have friends, and also people that dislike me, or even hate me. But I learned to socialize with experience, got better at it, and despite being a third worlder middle class dude, with a shitty job, I'm very happy with my life. And the reason is because instead of being a whiny b***h crying for not being born in a rich japanese family, I endured, learned and thrived.
              tl;dr

                That's just pure projection from yourself, my dude. I actually am in capacity of having a family (have a corresponded romantic interest), and don't intend of having this job for the rest of my life. But yeah, if it makes you feel a little bit better about yourself, you can think I'm a loser and keep blaming your "bad luck" for being a homosexual lulz

                Pfft, it's quite simply really, you can keep blaming your luck for being an antisocial ass and end up like Adachi, or you can grow a pair, recognize you have been a homosexual, and try stop being one (much trial and error, I know it isn't easy). Just experience talking dude, you can take it or leave it. Either way, good luck unlucky homosexual, I'm my own good luck machine.

                With actively searching for friends I mean engaging in conversation with co-workers, partners or even stranger in the internet (may it be using an app like Boo or using SOCIAL media). Kids actively search for friends. Teens do based on tastes or takes. Adults are a bit harder to make friends since they already have friends with a lot of backstory.
                Besides, actively searching friends isn't contradictory with the quote "they come naturally", since there are people naturally friendly.

                >And Dojima, besides being his boss, is also his friend.

                Being his boss means he's not his friend. You can't be friends with someone you work for.

                They didn't grow up together, they have no history together. They're just coworkers, not friends. They would never even speak to each other if they didn't work at the same place.

                >they have no history together
                They HAVE history together. That's why Dojima trust him in his house, in which he lives alone with his little daughter. You could be friend with your boss. Even if it's not proffesional, they're people still. I mean, damn, play the game, you can't say at least Dojima doesn't feel that Adachi is a friend. If you see the golden anime you can even see more profoundly this relationship, like Adachi getting jealous of Dojima and Nanako getting more along with Yu than with him.

    muh incel is a secondary characteristic of Adachi. It's there but faint and is not the main reason he did all he did (which is one murder and another attempt). He is much more bored and jaded than envious. He goes on a >society rants that consists more in annoyance with how society lies about prospects and how people deserve/don't deserve things (which is based).
    As already said ITT and in every thread, the line of thought of Adachi is never answered by the investigation team who just tell him "suck it up", and the point is more grating when it comes from a cast consisting of rich boy heroes and gorgeous teenage grils already set for life.
    It isn't bad writing, it's just sad material like seeing Quasimodo crying when Esmeralda throws herself into the arms of gigachad. Although fatlus probably didn't intend it this way and really expected players to side 100% with the power of friendship crew.

      Yosuke hates living in Inaba and the onli girl that he loved died hating him for something he couldn't impede (his family business taking hers out).
      Yukiko felt trapped in her family business, like she just had a life chosen for her and couldn't do anything about it (set for life, not in a good way tho).
      Kanji had tastes that traditional japs from that time would consider gay (some still do) and he became an edgy dude to compensate for the good of his psyche.
      I'm not going to do this for every character, but like Chie said, with due circumstances, she could have been like Adachi. Precisely Yu helps them deal with their problems, and if maybe there was a Yu for Adachi when he was young, he could have been saved from becoming an incel.

                Having access to good connections is also a privilege. If you are born into a crab bucket poorhomosexual hood, you won't have good friends that will come and save you and you will never have the power to escape it either without resorting to underhanded means which will pull you even deeper into the worst aspects of humanity. You are a just world fallacy adherent moron that lacks ability for critical thinking. The only way Adachi could have made it in life if he could have gotten incredibly lucky and he didn't. He is correct to say that it is not fair or reasonable when confronted with people that had everything go their way their entire lives, when it came to thinks that matter. And no, having a dead lover or a failed fling does not matter, when you have the resources and support structures to recover and try again without completely undermining your existence.

This is something Adachi outright didn't have and is likely part of why he got demoted. This is a fair criticism even if you want to pretend it isn't. He's still at fault, but that doesn't change that opportunity and privilege matter.

      Don't know if you're trolling, or if you actually are this moronic. Living in Japan isn't like what you see in the animes, jackass. If life in Japan was so easy it wouldn't have that rate of suicides. It's a completely different culture. I suggest you to go there and see how it goes for you, b***h ass homie

        That's because they're corporate slaves with a culture where suicide is seen as okay.

        you mean comparable to every western country? japan hasnt had a high suicide rate since the 90s.
        and the reason it had a high suicide rate wasnt because life was hard, its because suicide is seen in a somewhat positive light. they didnt have working conditions any harder than germany.
        that doesnt even factor in that japan has virtually 0 deaths from narcotics.
        japan has cheap homes, good infrastructure, and low immigration. its 100% a better country to live in than anywhere with english as its main language, and better than much of europe too.

      P5's villains are just generally terrible people. They have all the power and agency they could possibly ask for and abuse their position to screw over everybody else who gets involved with them to further their own power or just for blatant amusement. No P5 boss makes you want to go "Hey, maybe he could've been a good person if he made a few different choices." P5's villains, while they could be realistic and disturbing portrayals of corruption and greed, are usually seen as "Saturday-morning cartoon bad guys of the week" and thus are made hard to empathize with.
      Adachi is someone anyone can relate to. We've all been in a seemingly never-ending slump where we're stuck with a crappy dead-end job and barely scraping by, despite everything we've done to get to this point. Basically no power and no agency, wishing desperately for an outside force to magically make it go away or even just make the dreadful, repetitive dullness more bearable. Adachi was given this opportunity, and clung to it hard. Soon, he took it too far and fell into the never ending pit of despair, a mistake that anybody would make despite telling themselves "Oh, I totally wouldn't do what Adachi did."
