Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Persona 4: The Animation is an animated adaptation of the Eastern RPG Persona 4, as the title indicates. It ran from October 2011 to March 2012, its final episode (nearly) coinciding with the date of the game's ending.The story follows Ordinary High-School Student Yu Narukami, who has moved from the big city to the tiny rural town of Inaba to live with his uncle and cousin for one year. Shortly after he arrives, a string of unusual murders begins, with the victims hung from high places. Together with his new friends, he must unravel the mystery of the murders and the Urban Legend of the "Midnight Channel".Both of the game's lead character designers, the game's lead soundtrack composer, and nearly all of the Japanese voice cast were on board, creating an almost seamless transition from the in-game depictions of the characters to animated form. The first volume of the English dub, which also features most of the original voice actors (Teddie and Chie are voiced by their P4 Arena and Golden VAs instead, and while Troy Baker initially returned to play Kanji, he had to leave halfway through and was replaced by Matthew Mercer, who would later become Kanji's permanent voice actor), was released on Sept. 18th, 2012, while the second half was released on January 15th, 2013.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Please note that Persona 4: The Animation follows the plot of the game almost exactly, so beware of spoilers for the game on this page, and vice-versa.Has a sequel, Persona 4 Golden: The Animation, that covers extra events added to the PS Vita Updated Re-release. It has not currently received a dub, though a subtitled version is up on Crunchyroll.Now has a recap page.

Adachi certainly became one of these in episodes 24 and 25. He went from being a simple battle that's mostly warm up for the fight with Ameno-Sagiri to being able to defy gravity, teleport and create clones of himself. Heck, he even has the reaper on his side! Not to mention that he royally schools Yu in the first part of their Mirror Match, even managing to bring him to his knees.

Adaptational Badass Izanagi. In the game Izanagi's just a cool-looking Persona with low-tier stat growth/elemental affinities/skills that most players will have gotten rid of by the second dungeon; but in the anime he comes off as the biggest badass of the entire bunch, regularly being the go to Persona when Yu needs to wipe out a particularly dangerous Shadow.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Loki may count as well, although it was Margaret's Loki, rather than Yu's. Loki's worst stat by far is his endurance, yet he takes on attacks from five other Personas Yu summoned unfazed when Margaret was previously switching out to one-on-one each persona from him. These may include allusions to two of his skills, however, Repel Fire and High Counter.

Rise's Personas get a moment of badass in Episode 25. Note that in the game proper, Himiko and Kanzeon have no attacks and are glorified Mission Control. In the anime, Himiko and later Kanzeon join the other Personas in directly attacking Ameno-Sagiri.
