Yu convinces everyone to 'comply' with Mitsuru's order, but she and Aigis easily see through his act. Both of them escape, and Mitsuru tells Inaba's Persona users to forget about everything and leave the rest of the case to them. Their objective is to weaken the Persona users mentally so that their Personas will revert back to Shadows they need to gather strong Shadows for their 'Project', and reverting the Persona users' strong Personas would make exceptionally strong Shadows. The mastermind is a human with no Persona who cannot enter the TV world, but is partnered with something inhuman that can shape shift and pretends to be various characters' Shadows. Fuuka manages to reach Yasoinaba in time and cut off his connection, but he escapes. As they prepare to leave, however, the true mastermind behind everything takes control of her and makes her attack everyone. The Persona users defeat Shadow Labrys and Labrys accepts her, turning the Shadow into her Persona, Ariadne.

After vanishing from Mitsuru's plane, she was tossed into the TV world and her Shadow Self created the tournament to let other people feel what she felt. She eventually escaped the lab, dealing extensive damage to it in the process, but was recaptured and sealed away. She grew close to one of her 'sisters', Unit 024, but was forced to destroy her as well. Labrys was created in 1999 at the Kirijo Ergonomics, lab and most of her development was done through forcing her to fight other models of her series. Elizabeth encounters two of the boy's successors, one that she had befriended and given the Velvet Room's guidance under her supervision, and another who had also received the Velvet Room's guidance but this time under Margaret's supervision.Īs the Persona users get to the Announcement room where Rise is being held, they discover Labrys and soon learn about her as her Shadow reveals her true self. She heads over to the TV world when she feels all the Persona users gathering there, hoping that she may find something in the strange phenomenon may be able help her to defeat Erebus for good so that she could save the boy who became the seal to protect humanity. She follows them into the TV.Īs Elizabeth continues on her journey, she stops by at the gate of death to defeat Erebus, who comes back about once a year (she picks it up with one hand, throws it through a portal to the moon, then kills it in one hit with Thanatos). Naoto is hired by public safety to spy on the Kirijo Group and Shadow Operatives. They track her down to Yasoinaba and enter the TV world, joined by Akihiko Sanada, having just arrived from South America, who shows up to help after Aigis picks up readings from inside. Aigis manages to take down all the hijackers on her own but one of the cargo is stolen: the 5th generation anti-Shadow humanoid weapon, Labrys. On a mission to escort top secret cargo, the airplane she's on is hijacked. Mitsuru is now head of a secret spec ops squad known as Shadow Operatives working with the government consisting of herself and some of her old SEES colleagues. The following day, they head into the TV world and find themselves stuck in a tournament held at their high school where they must fight each other to advance, but during the tournament they see a mysterious girl who claims to be their student council president as well as three Persona-users they've never seen before.
