Referring to the final day of rescuing someone.

That it shows the silhouette of the murder, who we know to be Adachi sooner or later, that he is out there waiting for the body of "x" to show up. But if you rescue people from the TV shouldn't he know that they won't show up? For instance I rescued Kanji the first day available on May 19th, basically 2 weeks before the final day, he obviously knows he was rescued yet that scene still takes place. I also believe its the same for Yukiko too.

Maybe I'm missing something again like many times before but I just watched the ER last month and now playing through P4G, the majority of the game is fresh in my mind as I play through it.

Unless the silhouette is someone else, only person I can think it is is Mitsuo which is a possibility but I personally doubt it.

Misdirection

I always assumed that that was the game throwing you a red herring. Adachi's motivation doesn't really lend itself to him standing outside waiting for bodies to show up.

If it's not Adachi, wouldn't it be Izanami?

...I am astonished that I never thought of this. Makes a lot more sense then some of my more dumbass theories, at any rate.

Yeah, but Izanami's motivation wasn't to see people killed either. Also, a minor point, but the language used by the silhouette is a little rough for Izanami I feel.

@Nightriff: It's a predetermined cutscene that does not take into consideration when you rescued the person. If it was the final possible date, then that scene would happen right after you exit the dungeon.

It is also possible the murderer is not out there waiting for the body (he doesn't exactly control where they will fall out of the sky from), but just there to enjoy the fog.

You are assuming it is one person which is a mistake to begin with. There were alot of people involved in this from very early on. It could be the murderer, it could also be one of the suspects, heck at certain points it could even be one of the victims. Don't over analyze it.

@Karkarov: I over analyze too much I know, I can't help it sometimes

It doesn't really make sense for that figure in the fog to be Namatame, Adachi or Izanami. 
 
 The figure progressively becomes more angry as people are rescued from the TV world....which Namatame should be happy about, Izanami has no stake in anyone dieing either way, and Adachi thought the cat-and-mouse game between Namatame and the IT team was fun enough to watch that he threw in Mitsuo to keep it going.
 
Really, Its just a plothole. Just imagine that its a random dude who curses about some inconvenience when one of those scenes pops up.

Hell, in fact, the one time Adachi should have been pissed off when someone survived(Mitsuo), we didn't get a scene with that figure in the fog.

It's funky student thinkin up them riddles yo!

@Nightriff: Well, it's safe to assume that Adachi doesn't know all that well how the TV works, so he doesn't check it regularly to see how the vic is doing. Also, and I may be completely wrong, when Charlie confronts him later on, doesn't Adachi admit to not have knowledge of the Midnight Channel or something? I can't remember, but I think it's something along those lines.

I always thought it was Namatame, checking that his method was working an that they weren't in fact showing up.

Or maybe it was

OR THE REAL REAL REAL REAL KILLER!

I don't think this is correct. Adachi wanted people to die, which is why he sent the warning letters to the protagonist in the first place. Plus, the veiled silhouette in the fog looks like Adachi if you look closely.

Oh yeah.

... Fuck.

Now that's going to bother me. Like Ethan's blackouts in Heavy Rain.

It is odd that they showed that, considering they rarely pull the camera away from anyone who isn't in the Investigation Team.

@mutha3: Oh, hm, I don't remember any cursing. It has been awhile though, so my memory is probably faulty. Which one is the cursing in?

(And thanks for ruining my spoiler block :P)

@Brodehouse: Ethan's blackouts can be explained if you ask the psychiatrist the right questions. His answer is basically, "You were in a coma for 6 months. You're brain is fucked up and shits gonna happen that we can't predict."

@mutha3: Doesn't he explain his reasoning for sending the threats in the scene where the Jester Social Link transforms into the Hunger Social Link? I'd have to go back, but I'm almost certain Adachi actually wanted to see people suffer, which is why he was actually annoyed when they were being saved, despite still enjoying his little game of "cat and mouse".

Ah ah I bring this subject back to the taste of the day, already I apologize for my English because I am French.

I wanted to talk about the man in the fog, I have thought about it a lot and I can do you by my research until I check the words of this man in English and especially his sentence after saving Naoto

In English it says "Dammit... Again?!" in Japanese it is not so, I do not have the exact translation but the character presents his doubts, "How many more times will I have to do it, I wonder what I will do if it does not work anymore?"

It does not remind us of Adachi who has nothing to do with the murders, this reaction is clearly reminiscent of Namatame who tells us later that he began to have doubts about the world of television
