As Narukami is also a Japanese god of thunder, it also references his initial element Electricity. Spelling-wise, "Narukami" can also be read as "to become a god," foreshadowing how Yu manifests the World Arcana in the true ending, however, the characters of his name mean completely different things ("sound" and "above," respectively), meaning that the reference is an oral-only pun.

In Persona 4, he is generally a silent protagonist, as in the series tradition. Except for instances where he audibly speaks when summoning a Persona and so on, with his personality ultimately based on the player's actions and decisions. This is emphasized in Persona 4 Golden, as the Investigation Team members comment on how he doesn't talk much when equipped with the Butler Suit. His dialogue choices within the game are divided by style of expression: normally, all of his statements are inherently truthful in one way or another, but he's practically limited to stating only one thing at a time. Otherwise he may state his opinion in ambiguous moments, such as when discussing the murder cases with the group. One of his most common dialogue options is "That's not true." One of the only aspects that are up to player interpretation surround his past life, such as whether he has any siblings or if he's partaken in hobbies, such as playing instruments or sports.Yukari and Junpei Join Persona 4 Arena Sequel".

Upon looking over all of the evidence they have gathered, the Investigation Team determines that the real killer, and the writer of the threat letters, is none other than Ryotaro's assistant, Tohru Adachi, who inadvertently confirms their suspicions when confronted and flees into the TV world. [18] [19] It is possible to fail to deduce the real killer's identity; doing so or killing Namatame by throwing him into the TV both result in bad endings, in which the recurring fog permanently sets in, leading to humanity's demise. [20] Killing Namatame also results in Nanako remaining dead; otherwise, she will be miraculously revived by Teddie, who undergoes a journey of self-discovery during which he realizes, and later accepts, that he is a Shadow.

Yu does not physically appear, as he sends a text to Yosuke and Chie saying that he won't be able to make it that afternoon, referring to the TV world. In BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, set after the events of Persona 4: Arena Ultimax - Yu still wears his Yasogami uniform, despite having left Inaba following Golden Week. Yosuke brings this up, questioning why he's wearing it, leading Yu to state that he wore it so often, he didn't even realize he had been wearing the wrong uniform to school the entire time.

Chie: You're supposed to look into a TV that's switched off, alone, exactly at midnight on a rainy night. While you're staring at your own image, another person will appear on the screen. And they say that person's your soulmate. The game is also noted for a portion of its story revolving around sexual themes. [72] One of the playable characters given attention by reviewers is Kanji, who is considered to be one of the first characters in a mainstream video game to struggle with their sexual orientation, and Atlus has been commended for the inclusion of that character. [10] Atlus USA has stated that they left Kanji's sexual preferences ambiguous and up to the player; however, there has been no word from developer Atlus Japan concerning the matter. [10] According to Dr. Antonia Levi, author of Samurai from Outer Space: Understanding Japanese Animation, the questioning of Kanji's sexuality in the script is a "comment on homosexuality in a greater Japanese social context", in which "the notion of 'coming out' is seen as undesirable ... as it necessarily involves adopting a confrontational stance against mainstream lifestyles and values". [10] Brenda Brathwaite, author of Sex in Video Games, thought it "would have been amazing if they would have made a concrete statement that [Kanji] is gay", but was otherwise "thrilled" with the treatment of the character and the game's representation of his "inner struggles and interactions with friends". [10]The Investigation Team eventually realizes that Ameno-sagiri said that those who have awakened their powers are supposed to play their roles to override the world with Shadows as well, which implies an existence of a conductor who gave the protagonist, Adachi and Namatame their power to enter the TV. Entering the Velvet Room for assistance, Igor then tells the protagonist that he is going to grasp a truth even his powers cannot predict, and he will play a role in assisting him, by giving him the Orb of Sight, which erases lies and reveals the truth, playing an important part of their final confrontation.
