Game Appearances

Persona 4

Yukiko's Castle formed from Yukiko Amagi's suppressed thoughts of wanting to run away combined with the expectations of Midnight Channel viewers. It is styled as a European castle to counter the ryokan that her family owns.[1] The castle is visited automatically on April 17th. After getting to the 2nd floor and fighting Chie Satonaka's Shadow, the party leaves for the day. As the protagonist, Yosuke, and Chie explore the castle, they finally reach Yukiko and her Shadow on the 8th floor.

The dungeon's fog weather deadline is April 29th. If the protagonist fails to meet the deadline, he will hear sirens then get a call from Yosuke, letting him know that Yukiko's dead body was discovered.

Anime Appearances

Persona 4 The Animation

In episode 3, Yu, Yosuke, and Chie see Yukiko's Shadow on the Midnight Channel. The next day, the three enter Yukiko's Castle together, and Chie runs into her Shadow. They leave at the end of the episode, then return in episode 4 where they make it to the throne room, find Yukiko, and defeat her Shadow. During the battle, Yukiko herself is locked in a smaller bird cage.

Manga Appearances

Persona 4

Yukiko's Shadow is shown running into the castle on the Midnight Channel at the end of chapter 7. Afterwards, Soji, Yosuke, and Chie go into the TV World, and chapters 8-10 depict the events that unfold in the dungeon which play out the same as the game.

Trivia

  • In the Developer Comments, Atlus says that Yukiko's Castle is specifically based on Neuschwanstein.[2]
