#Persona3 has been adapted to 3 different mediums, so I thought it& #39;d be nice to compare how #Aikoto was handled in each one. Which scenes from the game where adapted & how, which were cut & which inspired original scenes in each adaptation.

Thread will be updated (semi) daily!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen">
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‌" title="Doppeltes Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Doppeltes Ausrufezeichen"> I& #39;ll be focusing on the most important, canonical Aikoto moments that happen in the main timeline of FES outside of Aigis’ S-Link and of player-input.

For a more thorough list of Aikoto moments in the game, please do check this post: https://theoneprecioustome.tumblr.com/post/177243431111/aikoto-moment-masterlist">https://theoneprecioustome.tumblr.com/post/1772...
#1 Fateful Reunion at the Pier

The scene made it to the 3 adaptations! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen"> Leaders& #39; interest in Aigis was nicely portrayed in both, the movies & the musicals, despite Sakuya not trying to "woo" her. The manga opts for a more indifferent Minato instead & cuts Aigis running away https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="âŹ‡ïž" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">
#2 "I have found you."

The chase scene is missing from all 3 adaptations. The manga removes it altogether, while the movies & musical rework it so that Aigis has an action-filled introduction instead. The hug & her declaration are always there, though! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
Interestingly enough, the movies and musicals didn’t come up with their takes out of nowhere. In fact, Aigis was canonically present that night in the game! So they basically just merged both scenes into one and added some shadows to showcase Aigis& #39; fighting style https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">
I can’t mention this scene without praising the musicals and Touch my Heartstrings, the Aikoto duet that perfectly summarizes their relationship from both sides https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> https://twitter.com/p3_aikoto/status/1170041494755061760">https://twitter.com/p3_aikoto...
#3 Meet Aigis
Ikutsuki introducing Aigis is only absent from the manga. The movies adapt a short version of the scene while the musicals expand on it, with a hilarious scene between Aigis & a sheepish Sakuya (plus Ikutsuki making sure that a jealous Yukari wouldn’t interfere https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">)
#6 Aigis watches over a sick Makoto

This scene sadly doesn’t make it to any adaptation https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht"> Though the manga does feature Aigis checking in on Minato, it’s an entirely different scene that takes place the morning after.
#7 Aigis& #39; Will & Leader& #39;s Trust

While very close to the game, there’s one big difference in the manga: looking at Minato isn& #39;t enough for Aigis to break out of Ikutsuki& #39;s control before Koro breaks the remote.
Meanwhile, the movies & musicals add some extra scenes & dialogues https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="âŹ‡ïž" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">
In the movies, Ikutsuki gets to control Aigis a 2nd time before Koro takes the remote, but she tries to resist.

Also, Aigis collapses in all three adaptations, so Makoto & Sakuya go hold her up while Minato just checks on her.
#8 Aigis wants to share rooms

It was only implied in the games but the movies not only pick up on it, they also deliver a hilarious sequence that ends with Makoto laughing for the first and only time in the movies https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
#9 You’re Special to Me

Sadly, this scene is only adapted in the mangahttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">shame we didn& #39;t get to see it in the movies & musicals.
All the dialogues are there, but while in the game Aigis talks to Leader face to face, in the manga Aigis just speaks to him through the door.
My apologies for the quality of the scanlation, I translated these way back when the the P3 manga hadn& #39;t been licensed yet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€­" title="Gesicht mit Hand ĂŒber dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand ĂŒber dem Mund">
#10 Being There for Aigis

Leader’s concern for Aigis is conveyed beautifully in all three mediums https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
The dialogues also stay true to the game, aside from some reorganization (the musical quotes the Aigis vs Ryoji cutscene, for example).
After they confront Ryoji, the musicals even include Mitsuru trying to raise Sakuya& #39;s spirits by telling him that they& #39;d be taking Aigis to the Kirijo lab and that she would be fine https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌾" title="KirschblĂŒte" aria-label="Emoji: KirschblĂŒte">Extra: Asking about Aigis
In the game, Leader’s concern about Aigis’ stay in the lab is shown through a dialogue with Mitsuru. The movies & the musicals take this and let Makoto & Sakuya pay Aigis a visit instead. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ„ș" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
