Persona 4: The Animation (2011) s01e05 Episode Script
Would You Love Me?
Welcome to the Velvet Room.
I foresee two arcana's shining in your future.
The Moon card and the Strength card.
I am sure that new powers will soon be forged through the bonds you build.
By connecting with others, you will soon be bathed in the light of truth.
And that light shall be a gleaming signpost pointing towards the future.
Well then, until we meet again.
Take care.
Glaciers of ideas importing to my friends then exporting to the next Keeping it open we want no closing Even without doughs our thoughts can be dope and This mind train no one can stop And act of thinking is terrible to stop We just wanna change up, not drop And my crew can rock it, like uprock Life is tedious, if it ain't flowing Copy and paste?

Would you love me? Good morning! Good morning! Yo.
Thanks for yesterday.
I'm completely whooped.
But we saved Amagi.
We should be proud of that.
How's Amagi? Yukiko said she's not better just yet, so she's taking some time off, but she said not to worry.
I see.
That's good.
I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief now that she's back.
Life can finally go back to how it was.
You sure are cheerful, Satonaka.
All of these recent events have knocked the stuffing out of me.
Right, Narukami? I'm fine.
What the hell?! Are you even human? I'm Now that you mention it, you're tougher than you look.
Are you in any clubs? No, not really.
Really? If you haven't joined any clubs yet, I have a favour to ask.
Ichijou-kun! Hey! S-Satonaka-san! Take a break, everyone! Is anything up? I've brought you a new member.
Seriously? You're that new transfer student, huh? Thanks for coming by.
Satonaka asked me to.
I'm just here to watch.
I'm Ichijou Kou.
Pleased to meet you.
Likewise.
I'm Nagase, from the soccer club.
Good to meet you.
This is a soccer club? Not really.
I just came by to join in for a bit.
Ichijou and I go way back.
The basketball club doesn't have many members, so you help them practise, right? Most of our members don't bother to show half the time, so the club's falling apart.
So I'm really happy that you're joining! I haven't really decided yet Please! Even if you only join for a little while.
Please help me! Um So this is Narukami.
He's a provisional member for now.
Hey, introduce yourself! I'm just a beginner, but Pleased to meet you.
Hey, where did the other guys go? They went home.
When they heard we were doing rebound practice, they said they'd pass.
Not again Oh, this is our manager, Ebihara Ai.
I don't come most of the time.
So don't bother asking me to do anything big.
I'm going home for today.
But we still have cleaning to do! Later! Senpai, we'd better head off, too.
There's a party today, too.
Wait are you serious? See you later! All right! I'm home.
He's back! Howdy! Hello.
I got out at a normal hour for once.
So I brought someone home with me.
I've been working with Doujima-san since this Spring.
I'm Tooru Adachi.
It sure is lucky that Amagi-san was found, huh? She's not quite in the clear yet, though.
She has no memory from the time she was away, and she seems a little suspicious.
I kind of dou- Dumbass.
Quit spouting that crap.
Sorry Anyway, with that missing person case cleared up, it looks like I might get my long-anticipated holiday this Golden Week.
Really? Yeah.
Shall we go somewhere? You have a day or two free, right? Yeah, probably.
We'll take lunch boxes! Sounds like a plan.
I haven't had a proper meal in ages.
But I don't know how to make them You've got him, don't you? Right? Me? In that case, I'll leave the lunches to you.
Um I'll do my best.
I want to go to Junes! Oh, you're our new member.
You're Ebi? Not âEbiâ! Ebihara Ai.
Hey, want to skip morning classes with me? Huh? I have something important to buy for the club.
It's natural for a club member to help out, right? It sure is great having someone to carry my bags! I just want to buy the whole store! A basketball club needs lots of things, huh? I just made that up.
I thought as much.
This sure does feel great! Everyone else is still studying right now, right? I love thinking about that! I guess it's not bad from time to time.
Hey, you understand.
I thought you were the serious type.
This is actually the first time I've cut class.
Really? Hey, what are you doing there? No way.
You just made that out of the napkin? You're not quite like other guys.
I think I kind of like you.
Maybe I'll hang out with you again sometime.
Next time I'll make sure it's after school.
Nice pass! You're doing well.
Is the manager gone again today? She's the only reason I joined, too.
I bet she's busy trying to pick up guys, huh? They say she really gets around.
I heard she has a sugar daddy.
Me too! Just look at her face, her body and her ass.
She'd have no prob- Cut it out, you guys.
It's not fair making up rumours like that.
No, it's for rea- U-Um Crap! She heard us for sure.
She'll be totally pissed.
What should we do? Hey! Are you okay? I don't really care.
I'm used to it.
I'm fine.
I'm really happy, though! My heart's beating really fast! What should I do? I always had a thing for him.
For Ichijou-kun.
I see.
He's so cheerful and kind, and he stood up for me back there! I wonder if he has a girlfriend? Beats me.
Hey, help me! Ask him what sort of girl he likes! M-Me? Why? You've got to help! I don't have anyone else to ask! Okay A girl I like? Why are you asking that all of a sudden? You don't have anyone? I didn't think you were so frank Don't tell anyone.
Right.
S-Satonaka-san What?! I'm really jealous that you get to sit beside her! Now that you know, you'll help me, right? See ya.
I'm going to kill myself! Calm down! Satonaka's that girl, right? The totally lame one? I'm way cuter than her! Just cool it for a second! Don't touch me! If you get any closer, I'll kill myself.
Your parents would cry.
I got shot down, didn't I? I made myself cute I worked so hard to make myself cute.
But he didn't love me.
What was the point?! I get it, so I used to be bullied for being fat and stupid.
People from my class would surround me and say I was a disgusting pig.
I told myself I'd show them one day.
And I went on a crash diet.
I kept up on all the latest fashion trends and cool accessories.
Really? That must have been hard But it was pointless.
Even though I thought I'd become cute, he didn't like me.
What should I do? Don't cry.
You tried really hard.
You'll have no problem finding a boyfriend.
You're pretty nice, huh? I wish I had fallen for someone like you instead.
I see Let's get back.
Hey.
How about we go out? Would you love me? You've got to take responsibility for what you said.
Love me until I find a boyfriend.
If you don't, I'll kill myself.
Courage Reliable Understanding Basic Expression Rough Knowledge Aware Diligence Persistent Expression Rough Diligence Persistent Courage Reliable Understanding Basic Knowledge Aware Yo, Narukami! Morning! Oh, good mor- Yuu! Hey, Yuu! Let's skip class today and go somewhere! Um Hey, isn't that the transfer student? He's going out with Ebihara Ai already? Since when were they I told you to get me some caramel sauce! Sorry I won't forgive you unless you tell me you love me! Hurry up and say it, Yuu-kun! I-I can't Hey, let's kiss.
Huh? Nobody's watching, so it's fine.
And we're boyfriend and girlfriend for now.
No, I can't! I said no! You little shits! You think you can just skip class whenever the hell you feel like it? Narukami! Let's meet at the Junes food court after school today.
We need to talk about the case.
Right.
Of course Huh? Not going to answer it? Y-Yeah Ebi Ebi Ebi Ebi Hello? Too slow! When your girlfriend calls, you're supposed to answer in three rings! Who was that? It's nothing No.
If I don't call back now, I'll be in even more trouble later.
Hello What do you think of those two? Who do you mean? Narukami-kun and Ebihara-san! Oh, they seem to be getting along well.
Like hell they are! Skipping class and being all sappy in front of people It's not like Narukami-kun! Ebihara's a real problem child, so I can't believe he blew off discussing the case today to go on a date! What are you so mad for, Satonaka? Don't tell me I see! What? He's a good guy, isn't he? He can use a bunch of Persona, too.
Huh? No worries.
Leave it to me and prepare for the worst! I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Everyone, listen to me! We're having a practice match during the coming holiday.
It's our first match in a long time.
Let's give it our best shot! Right Hey, can I have a minute? Oh, Hanamura.
What are you here for? Satonaka wants to help manage the basketball team.
Can you let her try it out? R-Right Sure! Is this what you were talking about? You're taking on Ebihara, so you have to prove you're her equal.
Huh? Girls in love sure have it hard! What the heck do you mean? That'd be really useful! We've got a match coming up, and we could use all the help we can get! Well, I don't mind helping with your match.
Though I get the feeling someone doesn't like me Oh! Looks like World War Love has begun! What are you trying to do? Basketball Club Hey, Narukami.
Yeah? When this match is finished, I might quit basketball.
Why? To be honest, my parents have always been opposing it.
I'm from kind of a big family, and I'm supposed to take over from my dad.
I've never told anyone this except Nagase.
But I figured I could trust you.
I want to make sure we win my last match.
You'll help, right? Yeah.
Of course.
Right! It's decided! When we win this match, I'm confessing to Satonaka-san! I only came to support the team.
So why am I wearing a uniform? Sorry.
Not everyone turned up, so we're short on numbers.
This always happens.
Let's give it our all! Even just sitting on the bench, you're in the way.
How about you?! I heard you haven't even been to the club recently! It's tough being a popular guy, right Narukami? Huh? Let's have a good game! Sitting beside her like this just pisses me off more.
I can't believe I was beaten by such a loser.
Loser? Beaten? You've put me through hell! Then let me tell you something.
It's horrible the way that you're dragging Narukami-kun around.
What? Do you love him or something? We're friends! You've got friends on top of guys who like you, huh? You're so damn greedy! What?! What about you?! You say you're Narukami's girlfriend?! Then try thinking about him for a change! Two beautiful flowers in bloom.
We're into the last minute! You damn bitch! Cut it out! This might be Ichijou's last game! Sit down and watch it! Awesome! Good game, everyone! Who ordered the nikudon? Ah, yeah, over here.
Huh? What? Is this your place, Aika-chan? We're in the same class, and I didn't even know.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
I'm always hungry after a game! Let's eat! This is good! It's awesome! Ichijou, I'm sorry.
We couldn't help you win your last match Actually, I I've decided to quit on that whole quitting thing.
It's been so long since we last played that I almost forgot how much I love basketball.
I was crushed when we lost.
I didn't want it to just end like that.
It's thanks to you joining that we were able to have this game.
I'm really grateful, Narukami.
Thanks.
I didn't really do anything And next time we win, I'm confessing to her.
So let's keep playing, okay? I'll have to pass, though.
It seems I can't get along with a certain someone.
Really? Um Ichijou-kun? Is it okay for me to stay with the Basketball Club? Of course! That last shot was awesome, though! Did you see it? Yuu I saw.
What? I'll be fine on my own now.
You're so nice that I sort of took advantage of you.
Until I recovered from being rejected.
I figured I might fall for you along the way, but I'll give these to you.
A little memento of our time together.
It's kind of a pain, but I think I'm going to take a serious shot at being their manager.
It's thanks to you that I can do that.
Thanks, Narukami-kun! No time to waste, but make your pace It's okay to remove copy and paste I'm doing my way.
You do it your way Don't just follow your left, find the right way Stereotypes Too many hypes I'm the epitome of new types Having the fear is power to my soul Cuz I overcome them That's how I roll Expose your thoughts Don't be afraid of making mistakes Rules prevailing in That may be your greatest rival Believe in faith and your heart Your true soul Stop being in the shades Come on out in the open sun Beauty of the child of destiny Delightful days are rich with density of love Thorny path, there's no easy way for real bliss So I keep on fighting for beauty of destiny You wanted soba, right Chie? Thanks! I can't get enough of this smell! You look all better, Amagi.
Yes.
I'm sorry to worry you.
Amagi's back to her best, so it's time we got back to trying to solve the case.
I'll help too.
I'm going to smack down whoever is shoving people in there! Please allow me to help, too.
If someone goes so far as to try to have me killed, I'd like to know who they are.
Yeah.
To be honest, the police probably aren't going to solve this one.
But we have the power to.
A special power.
Right, Narukami? Yeah.
We have to find the culprit.
Right.
Anyway, isn't that done now? Oh yeah! Let's eat! Hey, give me some! Just a taste! Me too! Hey, what are you doing with my treasure?! I-It's really good! You're chasing him? We're just a dumb couple passing by! There's a weird picture on it! So this is our secret headquarters? The next person targeted will be I'll beat you I'll beat you for good!
I foresee two arcana's shining in your future.
The Moon card and the Strength card.
I am sure that new powers will soon be forged through the bonds you build.
By connecting with others, you will soon be bathed in the light of truth.
And that light shall be a gleaming signpost pointing towards the future.
Well then, until we meet again.
Take care.
