LOVE the shadow. I like your interpretation of Souji/Yu's Shadow

Oooo, this is a lovely concept for Shadow!Souji. I've read a couple of fanfics on FF.net which involve a Shadow!Souji, most of which involve the shadow being lonely/needy in the sense of companionship and not wanting to leave Inaba. But, I think I like yours better <3

Well, my interpretation is...
He's always been there, from the start of when his childhood friend Minako died in a fire; I guess that could be his biggest trauma; but basically Shadow!Souji is just a part of Souji's 'memory', representing the life Souji 'left behind.' He hates carrying the weight of all the expectations thrown upon him, and is actually a bit suicidal; he'd give up his own life if it meant to kill his host.

To answer your last question, no, Souji doesn't know about him until later. Unlike the other shadows, Souji's is a bit... unique. He has the ability to leave the other side and use the exact same Persona the real Souji can. He 'kidnaps' Rise later and she's almost successful in unmasking him (I goofed in the sketch if you can't tell )

woa, thatΒ΄s interesting 8D, well IΒ΄m so into your soujiΒ΄s shadow interpretation because I had mine in one of my fics, the very idea of the shadow soujiΒ΄s existense is so exiting to me because I really REALLY love this character and the whole p4 game and anime, at the game I always expected the shadow souji final boss >w< too, maybe I will do a sketch with my own view for his shadow just for fun 8) you want to see that ? 8)

Thank you ^_^
I agree, I've always found the topic of Souji's shadow interesting; I was actually have expecting him to appear at the game, and I was disappointed when he didn't...
Anyway, I would love to see your own interpretation I haven't seen many, although quite a few are on Tumblr, and I'm always anxious to see someone elses thoughts; so when you have the time I'd love to see yours

uh...sorry I'm really not the best person to ask. I've never played Persona 3 FES, in fact, the only P3 game i've played was the one for the PSP and I didn't get very far... sorry

Aww, cool!! >8DDD
Love the expression with the hoodie XD

*lols at the ones in the bottom right corner*

And chibi Rise is cute :3
Also, SO agreed he should've been final boss *____*

Theeen, careful about the length of Shadow Souji's left arm. Otherwise, it's cool *w*
