Unlike other Shadows in Persona 4, Shadow Mitsuo changes his voice from being powerful and deep at first, to robotic when his true form emerges. At numerous points, he also references "ending your nothingness" in relation to the main characters. Shadow Mitsuo says that, "I have to kill you to prove that I exist," explaining Mitsuo's desire to commit murder as a desperate act to try to make an impact on the world.
#HERO PERSONA 4 SERIES#
The "baby" represents the fragile, feeble nature of his true intentions, as well as his immaturity and his inability to face the real world by hiding behind video games.ĭuring battle, Shadow Mitsuo makes a series of claims about Mitsuo that are not mentioned by him, though they shed a lot of light on his personality. The shell itself represents his desire to leave a mark on the world with his actions, as well as his desperate need for attention, to be remembered by all others as the "hero" he believes he is, even after his less desirable, weaker true self is gone. In battle, the Shadow summons masses of floating bits to form a hard outer shell, "Mitsuo the Hero," an 8-bit knight character, acting as its barrier from attacks. With that response, the Shadow gathers all other Shadows in the area and switches into its true form, a floating baby with computer scripts encircling its head. However, when Mitsuo notices the party's appearance, he brags about how he had "killed" the past murder victims, and that the Shadow is nothing but an impostor. The party had trouble at first figuring out which one was the Shadow. Shadow Mitsuo was found within the Void Quest dungeon being scolded by Mitsuo Kubo for not responding to his claims.
