    Simply put, who do you think is the killer in P4. I dont want any spoilers in this topic, so please don't.

    Anyway, I think Adachi might be the killer. Has anybody else noticed that he is always at Junes, therefore meaning he has access to that massive TV? Or how he is the typical 'Im so stupid and strange that you cant even imagine me to be the killer when I really am?' Im just putting it out there. I dont know who the killer is, but that is my assumption.

    You are straight up asking peoples opinion on the biggest spoiler of the game, but asking them not to spoil it for you. Your logic make no sense to me.

    Only thing i'm certain is that the weird dude isn't the killer. Adachi is the only character in my opinion who could be the killer or mabye someone we haven't met yet but who lives in town. Boy-girl dude could have been the killer if we would have met him early in the game.
    Edit: The reason i think Adachi is the one is that only he could have gotten away with killing Morooka, he knows how the police work and so on. Ofcourse it could be someone else from the police.

    When I say no spoilers, I mean the people who know that the killer is whoever it is dont go onto this thread and spoil it all for us. I just want peoples opinions on who the killer could be and their reasons.

    Has anyone noticed that freaky gas station attendant? I mean, he's a bit shady, serves no real purpose and always says weird things. And you meet him at the start of the game.
    Coincidence? I think not!

    I have a pretty good feeling it's Adachi. I really hope it's not. Because I really don't want the game to be that predictable.

    It's actually relevant to what ending you get.

    With the bad ending you finish thinking it's one character, good ending results in a different one, and true ending tosses out the actual killer.

    Not entirely true. The bad ending "killer" did throw people into TV's, and the good ending "killer" coerced the bad ending guy to do it. The true ending "killer" was the one who started the whole ordeal, but never actually killed anyone.

    @darkspirit138: Adachi is often at Junes because he's buying cabbage. I don't know if you've been playing the game or if you're just watching the Endurance Run. If you haven't been playing it yourself you probably wouldn't know about Adachi's love of cabbage because Vinny never talks to anyone around town.

    But really, why would the killer be using the TV at Junes? Teddie's stationed there. He'd notice people getting thrown in if the killer was using that TV. And the killer would have to get into Junes at night. Very unlikely.

    @Fallen189: The thread is about people who haven't beaten the game discussing who they think might be the killer.  It's not about people who already know the ending coming in and telling everyone.  If darkspirit138 just wanted to know who the killer was he could look it up online in about 30 seconds.

    My money is on gas station attendant. Never trust people who work at gas stations and wear hats so as to prevent people viewing them from an isometric perspective to see their faces.

    I did not suspect <beep> until I was pretty far into the game. Even then it was only suspiscion, I also suspected <beep> for a long time after the whole <beeeeeeeeeeeeeep>. I was still pissed off enough in my first playthrough to thr-- <beep> <beeeeeeeeep> and being rewarded with the bad ending.

    she always sits in front of the TV, who knows what she does when no one is looking

    or maybe it's Tanaka (that guy from the shopping program)

    I'm betting it's the guy on the TV from the anime in the beginning of the game. He looks fishy...

    Yes, that's me trying to break from the mold. Probably wildly innacurate, but eh.

    The thing about the killer is that it isn't really obvious. Things just add up when you think about it.
    I mean, someone would have to have access to a TV, and be able to be unnoticed by their victim. It's obviously Nanako. All she does is sit around in front of that TV, and because of her relation to you, the Main Character, her ability to throw people into a TV makes sense. As someone who has beaten the game, I will tell you that Nanako is definitely the killer, but it was mostly because Dojima was a bad father to her. In the final fight before she unleashes her Persona, there's a long cut-scene where Dojima tries to talk some sense in her, but Nanako shoots him with his own gun. It's really sick and twisted, but it made me cry.

    No, but she uses mind control abilities to have the victim through themselves into the TV. The MC uses these abilities in order to stop her from killing herself after she loses against our heroes.

    @Frankcanada97 thats what i was thinking. BUT for who ever said that adachi would never be able to get to junes at night. what if hes working with yosukes dad? You hear so much about Junes and the guys who hate it and yosukes dad and random stuff like that and Junes must of bought the t.v from somewhere.

    Also Adachi always sees the person and then there thrown into the t.v. E.g rise.

    O dunno myabe a dojima shadow. Maybe it darksprit!! And he posted this to get the speculation which never existed in the first place away fomr himel!! IM a Genious :)

You hear so much about Junes and the guys who hate it and yosukes dad and random stuff like that and Junes must of bought the t.v from somewhere.Also Adachi always sees the person and then there thrown into the t.v. E.g rise.O dunno myabe a dojima shadow. Maybe it darksprit!! And he posted this to get the speculation which never existed in the first place away fomr himel!! IM a Genious :) "

    " The thing about the killer is that it isn't really obvious. Things just add up when you think about it.I mean, someone would have to have access to a TV, and be able to be unnoticed by their victim. It's obviously Nanako. All she does is sit around in front of that TV, and because of her relation to you, the Main Character, her ability to throw people into a TV makes sense. As someone who has beaten the game, I will tell you that Nanako is definitely the killer, but it was mostly because Dojima was a bad father to her. In the final fight before she unleashes her Persona, there's a long cut-scene where Dojima tries to talk some sense in her, but Nanako shoots him with his own gun. It's really sick and twisted, but it made me cry. "
    Is she physically capable of throwing people into the TV? "
    No, but she uses mind control abilities to have the victim through themselves into the TV. The MC uses these abilities in order to stop her from killing herself after she loses against our heroes. "
    I thought it was her Persona that threw them in? Maybe I misinterpreted something, I'll have to play through that bit again.
