  PS1 Persona 1 and IS openings are peak. The languid gazes of Lisa and Eikichi during the beginning of IS's are unforgettable. I know that's dramatic but they always stuck with me because of how much emotion there is, even if that's definitely helped by me having played the game lol. The PSP opening for EP is super cool too, but I wish they kept the shot of Ulala punching the mirror instead of the weird broken glass transition lmao. Good video!

  &quot;Realm of the Dead&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6Mub47CUU&amp;t=983">16:23</a> probably refers to Xibalba, the Aztec world of the dead.

  The evil Tatsuya when he takes off the mask is not Jun&apos;s perception of him, it&apos;s Tatsuya&apos;s shadow. Shadow selves are represented with red eyes in P2, which Tatsuya has when he removes the mask, and in Jungian psychology, a persona is a mask while the shadow something buried deep, so it makes sense to find the shadow under the persona, i.e. the evil Tatsuya under the good Tatsuya mask.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6Mub47CUU&amp;t=407">6:47</a> im willing to believe that the eyes are either kandori or nyarlaphotep foreshadowing his sinister and always watching nature

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6Mub47CUU&amp;t=1065">17:45</a> I never ever noticed this scene! But I believe it&apos;&apos;s from Peace Diner location, where it&apos;s the only place in the game where you can buy burgers. Not sure who the woman is though

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6Mub47CUU&amp;t=944">15:44</a> I think it&apos;s supposed to be some Christ imagery. Hariti holding Narcisus looks like some representation of Mary holding Christ while Angel on the cross is pretty self explanatory. Both would symbolise the beginning and the end. Why the Christ imagery? Well apparently Maya fits the archetype (SnicketySlice elaborates on it in an P2IS analysis video). Although its not 100% sure that Maya was supposed to be of the Christ archetype, the Christ imagery in this shot is surely on purpose and might be a reference to that.

  I can&apos;t believe I never noticed the writing in the opening for P1P. I never noticed Maki&apos;s face at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6Mub47CUU&amp;t=379">6:19</a> either.
