#Persona3 has been adapted to 3 different mediums, so I thought it& #39;d be nice to compare how #Aikoto was handled in each one. Which scenes from the game where adapted & how, which were cut & which inspired original scenes in each adaptation.

Thread will be updated (semi) daily!

Aikoto Moments Masterlist

I’ve been meaning to do this for years now, may as well do it now before the games keep piling up! I’ll also go at it in chronological order, so The Answer will be up next. THE JOURNEY (P3 FES)...

#1 Fateful Reunion at the Pier

The scene made it to the 3 adaptations!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen"> Leaders& #39; interest in Aigis was nicely portrayed in both, the movies & the musicals, despite Sakuya not trying to "woo" her. The manga opts for a more indifferent Minato instead & cuts Aigis running away

#2 "I have found you."

The chase scene is missing from all 3 adaptations. The manga removes it altogether, while the movies & musical rework it so that Aigis has an action-filled introduction instead. The hug & her declaration are always there, though!

Interestingly enough, the movies and musicals didn’t come up with their takes out of nowhere. In fact, Aigis was canonically present that night in the game! So they basically just merged both scenes into one and added some shadows to showcase Aigis& #39; fighting style

I can’t mention this scene without praising the musicals and Touch my Heartstrings, the Aikoto duet that perfectly summarizes their relationship from both sides

#3 Meet Aigis
Ikutsuki introducing Aigis is only absent from the manga. The movies adapt a short version of the scene while the musicals expand on it, with a hilarious scene between Aigis & a sheepish Sakuya (plus Ikutsuki making sure that a jealous Yukari wouldn’t interfere

#4 Five minutes early

This scene isn& #39;t in the musicals & manga, but the movies do adapt it and it’s just as funny as it was in the game! Or even funnier, since they have Aigis try to wake him up when he goes back to sleep

Only downside is that we don& #39;t get to see Makoto saying whether Aigis can stay there or not, since the scene is cut short after she asks if it& #39;s acceptable

#5 Aigis goes to school

Aigis declaring her devotion to Leader to the entire class only makes it to the movies, with a few minor differences. Namely, Toriumi has less lines… and Aigis chooses her seat herself

This scene sadly doesn’t make it to any adaptation

However, P3M #2 pretty much pays homage to this scene as Aigis slips into Makoto& #39;s room to check in on him when he& #39;s acting weird

#7 Aigis& #39; Will & Leader& #39;s Trust

While very close to the game, there’s one big difference in the manga: looking at Minato isn& #39;t enough for Aigis to break out of Ikutsuki& #39;s control before Koro breaks the remote.
Meanwhile, the movies & musicals add some extra scenes & dialogues

In the movies, Ikutsuki gets to control Aigis a 2nd time before Koro takes the remote, but she tries to resist.

Also, Aigis collapses in all three adaptations, so Makoto & Sakuya go hold her up while Minato just checks on her.

#8 Aigis wants to share rooms

It was only implied in the games but the movies not only pick up on it, they also deliver a hilarious sequence that ends with Makoto laughing for the first and only time in the movies

All the dialogues are there, but while in the game Aigis talks to Leader face to face, in the manga Aigis just speaks to him through the door.

The dialogues also stay true to the game, aside from some reorganization (the musical quotes the Aigis vs Ryoji cutscene, for example).
