Game Appearances

Persona 4

The Twisted Shopping District looks similar to Konishi Liquor from the Central Shopping District since it was formed from Saki Konishi's thoughts. At first, it was a large dungeon like the other dungeons in Persona 4. After Saki's death, it shrank in size, and the remaining part is the dungeon's core.[1] The location is visited automatically on April 15th. After Saki's death, Yosuke and the protagonist return to the TV World, and Teddie takes them to the Twisted Shopping District, where he had sensed someone before they disappeared from the TV World. A pair of Lying Hableries attacks them, but the protagonist is able to summon his own Persona, Izanagi, and protect the group. They enter the TV World version of the liquor store and hear the voices of Saki's father and Saki. Saki's father yells at her for working at Junes and because she is the subject of neighborhood gossip, while Saki says she never got to tell Yosuke how annoying he is. Though Saki did find him annoying, the voice the group hears is an exaggeration created by the Shadows that does not necessarily reflect her true thoughts.[2] After hearing Saki's voice, Yosuke's own Shadow manifests. Yosuke denies that his Shadow is really him, causing his Shadow to transform and attack. The protagonist fights Shadow Yosuke by himself. After, Yosuke admits his Shadow is part of him and gains a Persona of his own. This experience helps the protagonist and Yosuke figure out how Mayumi and Saki might have been killed by Shadows and realize they can save people who have been thrown in to prevent further deaths.

"山野アナの部屋と異様な商店街主人公がテレビの中に入るときには、すでに遺体が発見されていた被害者、山野アナと小西早紀のイメージで造られた場所。ほかのダンジョンと違ってこじんまりしているが、じつはふたりがテレビに落とされた直後には、この2ヵ所はともにもっと大きなダンジョンだった。雪子以降の被害者たちと同じで、ふたりも迷宮に迷い込み、影との対決を強いられたのだ。だがイメージの主が死んでしまったため規模が縮小し、核となる部分だけが自縛霊のように残留しているのである。" Translation: "Mayumi's Room and the Twisted Shopping District These places were built from the mental images of the already deceased Mayumi and Saki. Compared to the other dungeons, these are quite small. When the two were first dropped into the TV, their dungeons were much larger, and like Yukiko and the others, they got lost in the mazes and came face-to-face with their Shadows. But since the owners of these mental images died, their dungeons have been scaled down. All that remains is a part akin to a core, like a ghost bound to the place where it died."
