Yellow symbolizes pee, because Yosuke had to pee in the first time they entered the TV.
Dolphinboi finally a intellectual
Dolphinboi everything has become clear now
"You GUYS i have to pee SOO BAD. im gonna pee RIGHT. HERE."
...
...
...
"OKAY NEVERMIND"
So Yosuke poured Giorno his tea...
Nice Persona 4 Comic Reference! XD
Persona 3- Sadness of Death
Persona 4- Fear of the Truth
Persona 5- Anger of Opression
Change bondage to oppression or something.
@@Pineapple438 Persona 5 is more based on Rebellion
persona 2 - mix and match characters in negotiation for dialogue in place of social links
Persona is going to be about an emotion (obviously), so... Reminiscing about the past? Dealing with nostalgia
Persona 6 happiness of grief
'Yellow is the colour of happiness' Every social link: Hey I have like 99999 family problems, wanna hear them?
I have 99 problems and my persona is one if them
"Who wants to help me overcome my self-esteem issues? :D"
The Green of Persona 6
The Orange of Persona 7
The Purple in Persona 8 (But it was used in Persona 1 I don't know if atlus will use it)
The Brown of Persona 9
The Beige of Persona 10
The Cyan in persona 11.
You know i always found it pretty crazy that Persona 4 a game were you literally try to stop a Killer and nearly kill someone you assume has killed your sister, manages to be the most lighthearted of the series. Hell even Yu had it easier than Akira and Minato in his life.
Thou art a chad, so of course life is easy when you oozes chadnes
Yeah he was only in inaba because of his parents work jokers gets his reputation ruined and the p3mc parents are dead
Considering what happens in the other persona games is no surprise P4 is the lighthearted one, in P3 you and your friends get crucified and almost sacrificed to a primordial goddess to kill every person in the planet xd
In Italy we call a detective novel a giallo, which means yellow
I shed tears and later that night cried in my sleep, when I played til the part where nobody greet me at home. Before I moved out for work, the house I lived in was full of smile and conversation with my family. When I open my doors, there's only hallow. I felt sad though i never realised so, but when Nanako wasn't there anymore, the feeling hit me like a train.
OH, THANK YOU! I AM SICK AND TIRED, HOW SO MANY FANS TREAT P4, LIKE THERE'S NO DEPTH AT ALL!!!
Great Video!
IKR. They can be real trolling jerks. :)
Yellow is also associated with cowardice and there have been some moments where some of the characters show cowardly behavior. For instance, when the MC and Yosuke investigate the tv world to look for clues about Saki's death, Teddie keeps a safe distance from the duo and Yosuke accuses him of running away if things turned pear shaped. Another example is when Yosuke didn't want to go into the Steamy Bathhouse. In conclusion, while yellow can be associated with happiness and malaise, cowardice also has had some moments throughout the game.
Cowardice is literally half of th game. Every shadow boss (in a palce I mean) manifests into a monstrous form due to the cowardice of the characters. They are all too scared to accept their ugly true side and bring forth a monster thanks to their denial and cowardice
This is also one of the reason I'm mad they took Yosuke's dating option... It would've fit the theme so much because Yosuke refused to believe he was gay and It was also why he kept bugging Kanji about it
Edit: I hope that makes sense
With the increasing obsessions in social media and some people not being able to differentiate between fiction and reality, is it me or are the themes in this game more relevant that ever?
They are
I just noticed that persona 3-5 colors are the primary colors.
Same here what a coincidence
3 primary color is red blue and GREEN
To me the yellow represents the light to guide the characters to the truth
Nice video like always. There is just a detail that you got wrong. The God that possesses Namatame is not Ameno-Sagiri, it is Kunino-Sagiri. According to the wikia of P4, the are both spirits of the fog, but both are associated with different realms, Ameno is heaven while Kunino is Earth. It becomes ironic when you realize that you find Kunino in the level "Heaven" and Ameno in a apocalyptic version of Inaba, "Earth".
Keep up the good work :)
I just checked, "Sagiri" apparently means "Fog Spirit," "Ame" is Heaven, and "Kuni" is Country; that, and it's not "Ameno-Sagiri" it's "Ame-no-Sagiri" as "no" is essentially "of" or some form of connection.
Oh OK thanks for the info :) So the name are literally "Fog Spirit of Heaven" and "Fog Spirit of the Country"
Persona is such a strange game franchise

You just noticed? Thats why we Love it :)
i like to call it... bizzare
Yellow can also be associated with Truth, Hence Izanagi-no-Okami's Myriad Truths Ability
I'd like to ask at least. Any insight on what happened on what happened the end of Persona 4 The Animation: Yu's unease surrounding his relocation from Inaba causes a Shadow Self to appear in the battle with Margaret. Appearing as a pile of televisions sets with Yu's image on them, this Shadow is not fought and is quickly accepted. Shadow Yu states that "I was afraid of a future without my friends, afraid of leaving everyone behind and moving forward on my own...I don't want to be alone again, I've been alone, and I won't go back!" Yu quickly agrees with his Shadow, stating that all he wants is to be with his friends, whether this fantasy is real or not.
The Persona 4 Animation interested me because it gave Yu, who is supposed to be a blank slate character that the player projects themselves unto, a personality. He is quirky, deadpan and tends to spread himself too thin. I might do a video on his shadow in the future since it is semi-canonical. His shadow which takes the form of multiple TV sets also appears in Persona 4 Arena. But my initial interpretation of it is that he needs other people to define who he is. Without his friends, he is lost and empty. What are your thoughts on his shadow?
"Bonds of people is the true power.". This episode once again confirmed this to me. :)
In simple terms, he's the MC of the game and he's not allowed to talk in conversations, even his shadow
Yellow is also often associated with deception and jealousy. In french, there is an expression to describe a forced laugh that goes by "yellow laugh". And in history, many different kind of people were branded with the color yellow, the most notable example being with the Jews, not only by the Nazi regime but also during the crusade.
Yellow can also represent betrayal, duplicity, and jealousy.
Great video, but I think you should have gone a bit more into the mythology surrounding the game, particularly in the case of Izanagi and Izanami. In Japanese myth, Izanagi was so overcome with grief for the loss of Izanami that he was willing to brave the underworld to try and bring her back. When he found her, she agreed to go with him on the condition that he refuses to look at her true self and instead only view her in the darkness. Izanagi ends up lighting a torch (presumably lighting the room in a yellow light) and sees that she has become a rotten corpse. Enraged, Izanami chases Izanagi out of the underworld, and she promises to kill 1000 humans each day. Izanagi responds by promising to give birth to 1500 humans every day to make for those who are lost. He then bathes in a spring of purification to rid himself of the taint of the underworld and gives birth to his three most important children, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo. Izanagi's grief can be reflected at how desperate and sad people can sometimes be willing to live a lie that everything is fine, even if it means ignoring terrible things like Izanagi would have had to ignore if he pretended that his wife wasn't dead. While things weren't easy by his refusal to do this, and it caused him to permantly be severed from the love of his life, he was able to grow past it once he was free from the underworld and bring to life things that are essential to the world (the sun, the moon, and the sea). So when Yu summons Izanagi-no-Ookami at the end to defeat the corpse that Izanami had been revealed to be he was clearing the fog she had created permanently.
so yea. it's me again lol. so, as he said lately, yellow represents happiness and sickness. and for me, it represents how colorful life is even you are having a hard times. so the yellow theme represents the bright side of the world but, the television represents the dark side of the world. persona 4 tells us that in any person, there is always a dark side of their lives. because life is not perfect tho. so the other meaning of yellow is toxic and disease. disease can completely changes others mood and also mental disease. it shows how anxiety and depression can change people now days. toxic things can give a person a disease, and that is the society now days. society now days are full of toxic people that can give a person a mental disease. the toxicity of people now days can totally changes the person's perspective in life or even the whole personality of that person. for example, a guy is always positive and loves watching anime. but when the toxic people always telling him that it's too immature to watch anime and he's useless because he always watches anime for the whole day. that positive guy becomes a guy who hates the society. and that is how i describe the yellow color of the persona 4
Quality work as always. Thank you for the fantastic video
Yellow is the color of fear, even though you talk about it indirectly I just wanted to point it out. You did great.
I love this game so much. It helped me out so much
Can you make a video on the P4 casts final personas? You did P5 and I was wondering about P4's.
9:01 I’m probably late to this but,I’m quite sure that it is kunino-sagiri and not Ameno-Sagiri but still a great vid tho
I love Persona 4.
It's best the game ever.
I always wondered why Yellow of all things was chosen for P4 good Video man thanks for clearing it up for me. I enjoyed this little color series :)
It could also mean blind as the main P4 cast thought namatame is the real killer
Actually Naoto didn't want to remove her feminine features, the official anime adaptation shows she wanted to become older (as the laser turned Yu, Yosuke and Teddie into elderly men) due to how adult cops considered her work a childish game.
Olivier Dubreuil-Gagnon while you're right I think that her wanting to change her sex is not actually her issue. It was her age since nobody took her seriously because she was younger than the officers. In the game while they are talking to her shadow the majority of the dialogue is spent talk about how because she is young she isn't taken seriously. While they do talk about her gender it is really breif like naoto herself hadn't really thought about her gender other than that it doesn't fit with her image of a detective looks like.
Sorry if it's long
One bad translation: during Social Links, she asks if she should use a higher tone of voice.
In Japanese, she asks if she should use "watashi" (feminine way of addressing yourself, used from teenage years onward) or "boku" (more immature, but also more ambiguous when it comes to sex).
Ramera3 That's what HE said
Lol, reverse joke is reverse funny
Poe Land "Watashi ga kita"
All Might has big vagine
You forgot about Marie (Aeon Arcana) in Persona 4 Golden (not critical but still relevant to your topic).
we don’t talk about her
Ma- who?
now that i think about it, there's a lot of shades of yellow throughout persona 4
Pink of Persona 3 Portable when
I believe there was a mistake... You mentioned that Namatame was possessed by Ameno-Sagiri. This may just have been a slight mistake, as Kunino-Sagiri, the one who ACTUALLY possessed Namatame, isn't all too memorable in the grand scheme of things... That is, compared to Ameno-Sagiri, who possessed Adachi, or Izanami.
This was very enlightening, I only noticed the happiness and the truth/lies. The whole disease thing never came to mind
Haven't watch the video yet. (Can't right now). But the moment I saw the Suikoden 2 banner; instantly Subscribe to you channel. A person with taste i see :).
Can you do a symbolism video on the Persona 4 characters second and third personas
So Adachi desired something like Mementos and interesting the red and black of Mementos in the background.
I dont believe Ameno Sagiri controlled Adachi. Instead, it latched onto Adachi as an avatar for humanity's insecurities and acted towards what it believed was humanity's will. It is fundamentally different from the final boss in p5 which reveled in humanity's indolence. I believe Adachi was in control and was the real mastermind behind the events in p4, even if unaware of Ameno Sagiri's existence.
Self-doubt?
There is a difference between self-doubt and self-doubt because everyone you ever met said you aren't worth it
Another intresting video
Great vid bro. What country are u from?
Even Doh Persona III's Story Is My Favorite, IV Is Probably My Favorite Title In The Series In General
Ans so we still wait for 'the red of Persona 5'
i love your analysis for the games and the beautiful messages you add to each video, but there is something i can't agree with. its not that ame-no-sagiri "believes" that humanity desires for the false images, but that humanity actually does desire it. the investigation team gave a new opportunity to humanity, but the danger is always latent and it could come again. this same story structure can be applied to persona 3, 4, 5, Q2, and even smt devil survivor 2.
sorry that my english is not too good, i hope its understandable enough.
The desire will always be there, as will the potential to rise above it. Just as a shadow can turn into a persona. Seeking the lies rather than facing the truth is what leads to the spiral of despair and death.
could you do a vid of symbolism in P4, like personas and stuff
Please make a symbolization video about the Persona Dancing series!!!! c:
For me, yellow is the color of warn signs (street, scene of crime, ... ) and of electricity (We have an electricity providor in Germany that's called yellow).
Will you someday make a video on Persona 2?
yellow is happy color
Nametame was not possessed by Ameno-Sagiri but Kunino-Sagiri
I think the connection with yellow and sickness is a stretch, but a good video nonetheless.
1:31 *N I C E !* XD
Daisuke had a girlfriend that broke up with him? Is that why he says "I think girls suck" in the anime?
What music tracks did i use for this video? Im just curious
In my country yellow can also mean lust
You never see a shadow succeed in this game. I would've liked it, it would've provided Teddy with a rival. Would they get so powerful and threaten the world or would they replace the original in the real world?
Hello, Room.....
Who else wants a 2nd if every game like a second part or something like that bc I want a 2nd part of persona 4 bc it was the best and is the best
persona 2 3 is confusing as hell
I hated persona 2 like it already has 2 parts but Persona 3 isn’t that confusing but still like 1 would be kool bc I really liked how they used the first person thing but if it had. The same thing if it were a remake it would be siccckkk
The yellow of persona 4 golden stands for when joker got drugged
What's the music name?
Truth
Persona games be like:we stopped this evil person who was using this metaphysical world to fuck with peoples mind now we have to kill a god like being created by society
WRONG! Namotame is NOT posessed by Ameno Sigiri he's possesed by Kunino Sigiri.
Everything is all right but there's one thing I can't get. Shadow is the personification of your darkest and most shamefull thoughts and character trades but it still is the part of your real character. If shadow is accepted it becomes Persona. Persona-the social face the individual presented to the world-"a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual". It's pretty contradicting if you think about it. Also in Persona series Persona is sometimes defined as a mask created to survive the hardships of life and sometimes as person's true self... So how is it?
If you want an analysis of the franchise that delves more into its Jungian inspirations, Extra Credits has a pretty good video on it. ua-cam.com/video/4a4EdAES0fk/v-deo.html
But the quick answer is that shooting your head, breaking a card or ripping off a mask seems more dramatic in summoning a persona rather than wearing a mask.
It depends. The characters of Persona 4 didn't accept some things. Shadows are suppresed feelings and don't have to be dark, its just those things that you tell yourself to not think about or do. A shadows is your true self after all. When the persona 4 characters accepted their shadows, it meant that they now confronted what they have been hiding. You can't solve a problem without realizing there is one. The p4 cast accepted their shadows which thus converted into their personas. When you think about it, the characters have this type of gimmick or trait of their shadow. Yukiko for example wanted to leave Inaba but being the type of good person that she is didn't want to think like that or more specifically others to see her like that. When she accepted her shadow, she now had a reason to want to stay in Inaba and that was because of her friends. The same can be with Yosuke and no longer seeing the town with hatred because of boredom but has his friends with him. It shows the importance of people accepting you in terms of socialising and your true self. People who you don't have to be guarded against or feel like you're in this mind field that can potentially blow you up. That's how they have their personas. The way they are being real with themselves and becoming better people by accepting themselves for who they are which is like facade to face those hardships but instead it's your true self.
Seeker of Truth? Nah, I'm a Phantom Thief.
DeVeloxVulpes for real?
It's Yellow because they in New Mexico.
Could it be that the story writers are Jungians? Shadows, simbology, sexual integration, personas....
While analysis videos are nice why even spoil the game this much? You can do this video in half the time with the half the spoilers. Most of the time the theme you present is lost amidst with rundowns of situations.
I feel like this video should sell persona 4 to new people or shed light to people who have played. Even though most people who have completed the game should already realize why yellow is prominent.
First
Why do people get upset at others commenting first?
This game has nothing to do with disease
Yellow fog and people getting sick (some dying) from it...
@@LinkaDL but its only a slight thing
@@ToadVIP Slight? The fog is the center of the game´s plot.
sorta
