Game Appearances

Persona 4

On September 15th, after being thrown into the TV World, Naoto's repressed feelings cause a Midnight Channel broadcast where a version of Naoto in a lab coat welcomes viewers to a program called "The Great Experiment of the Century: Genome Project" where it will undergo a body alteration surgery.

In the basement of the Secret Laboratory, the Investigation Team finds the real Naoto alongside Other Naoto. Naoto has been waiting for the team to show up and refers to Other Naoto as an annoyance. Other Naoto begins throwing a tantrum and begging the real Naoto not to leave, a reflection of Naoto's insecurity over being treated as a child and discarded once a case is solved. Furthermore, while Naoto looks up to adult male detectives from fiction and aspires to be like them and given proper recognition for detective work, Other Naoto reveals that Naoto is unable to do so as Naoto is, deep down inside, still a child and also a girl.

The Investigation Team are surprised to hear that Naoto is a girl as they had believed Naoto to be a boy this whole time. Naoto verbalizes that she won't throw a tantrum over this, and Other Naoto mocks her as that phrase was something others used to say to her and made her cry. Other Naoto reassures Naoto that there is no need to push herself anymore now that she can undergo body alteration surgery to solve her problems, saying that it understands how she feels since they are the same person. Naoto denies that Other Naoto is her after hearing this. Chie tries to stop her, but Kanji encourages Naoto to get it off her chest. After, Other Naoto transforms into a robot named Shadow Naoto that attacks the group and even uses skills that cause aging. Following the battle, Naoto expresses that instead of becoming an adult man, she needs to accept her Shadow, which represents her childishness, for who it is. She accepts her Shadow as a part of her, and it transforms into the Persona Sukuna-Hikona.
