- Shin, with his Persona awakened, nearly escapes his death when a mysterious person pursued him with her own Persona. Ryō's previous actions in saving Yumi Tasaka, as well as the emergence of Shin's own new Persona, had forced the men seemingly responsible for the Shadow killings to make plans to kill Ryō and Shin before they are able to use their Personas against them. Shin and Jun head to their respective schools, with the former meeting friends such as Takurō and Megumi. During a Shadow Pull, Takurō's Persona had emerged with Shin's for a second time. Shin gets invited for karaoke night with Megumi, Takurō and Kanaru, but the girls get attacked by thugs after they left the restroom for a break.
- Shin, Takuro and Megumi reflect on Morimoto's death and the crisis that took place in Ayanagi City. Inui gets injured when Ayane revives her clone and uses its persona to disable Nakamura and his staff members as it head towards the city. While Akihiko tries to stop the clone, Ryo confronts him and warns him to back off.
- A long time friend of Morimoto transfers into the school, and along with her, mysterious and bizarre "pranks" start happening almost every night in the grounds. The group decides to investigate these incidents by going to the school at night. They divide into two teams: Shin, Jun and Kanaru, and Takurō and Megumi on the other. With the two older boys overly scared, the girls lead on to find Morimoto's friend collapsed on the floor of the science room. Meanwhile, Jun senses a troubled persona nearby and disappears to the camphor tree on the school's yard, and uses his own to comfort it.
- The Ayanagi Police is preparing for the annual "Chief for a Day" in which a famous idol is police chief for a day to lecture about the dangers of drunk driving. However, the idol scheduled to show up is unable to make it, but by an odd stroke of luck, Itō and Narasaki are able to convince Megumi and Kanaru to be the chiefs for the event. Meanwhile, Ryō, after responding to a fake Reverse incident, ends up in a bear suit and passing out balloons to children. Two of the boys he meets are targeted for ransom, but Ryō is able to beat up the kidnappers while still in the bear suit. Later, after Shin, Jun, and Takurō meet up with Megumi and Kanaru and are heading home, they pass the bear-suited Ryō, and then Shin, not knowing that it is his older brother in the bear suit, asks him for a light blue balloon.
- Shin, Takurō and Kanaru get summoned by Ayanagi Police regarding a mutilation that occurred at the same karaoke bar that they went to. While Jun gets a visit from Eiko Nikaido, a Kanzato family friend, Shin is warned by Ryō that he should leave Ayanagi City alongside Jun as his situation to contain the mysterious killings were on the verge of becoming public through pressuring of his mysterious benefactors. The individuals supposedly known for the Persona killings attempted to assassinate both Ryō and Shin for good, but their attempts backfired as Ryō's Persona made short work of his assailant's Persona, killing him while Shin's Persona fought back until one of his attackers became incapacitated when his Persona had been combined with another.
- Shin, Jun, Megumi, Kanaru and Takurō alongside Yumi go to an inn in the outskirts of Ayanagi City for a break. During this time, Takurō tries to train himself to use his Persona. Megumi had reawakened her Persona after seeing Yumi grab a white feather from the top of the lighthouse, who almost died if Megumi's Persona didn't help her in saving Yumi. Meanwhile, Shin meets up with the mysterious woman after his Persona had attacked her in the beach.
- Shin, still depressed over the disappearance of Ryō and Eiko, goes back to the old Kanzato residence to see Akihiko Sanada in the house. He, with Inui, informs Shin and the others Nagamori Gakuen students/Persona users on the truth behind the string of incidents dubbed by both police and the media as the "Reverse" Incidents with the reason on why the incidents were still taking place in Ayanagi City as of now.
- Ryo visits Yumi in the Ayanagi City Hospital with Shin speaking to him about his reasons why he was there. Eiko speaks up with Ito regarding her concerns of Ryo that he may be hiding some details on the Apathy Syndrome cases. Later on, Ryo meets up with Keisuke Komatsubara aka Mariya Kudou in the Ayanagi bridge, warning him that he would like to take Ryo's Persona away from him. Meanwhile, Kudou informs the Outsiders to conduct more surveillance of Shin and Jun back at Naginomori Gakuen High School.
- Jun starts to go out with Ayane, who is the mysterious girl in red who keeps appearing before Ryo and Shin. Shin decides to secretly follow the two to a local park, despite Kanaru participating in an all-English speech contest. Shin was then subjected to several visions by Ayane, including being forced to watch Eiko being brutally killed by Ryo's own Persona before Shin encounters a vision of Ryo's Persona and later fights with his own while seeing the white feathers again. Though Shin was alive later on when he wakes up in grassy field, he encounters Jun with Yuki's voice.
- Mariya kills off the rogue Yuji in the midst of a parent-teacher conference in Nagimori Gakuen. Ito and Eiko team up to find out what Ryō is up to by planting a GPS device in his vehicle. Ryō later faces off against Mariya in the mountains outside of Ayanagi City. Despite being wounded by Mariya's persona, Ryō was able to severely defeat his Pesona. Before Eiko could aid Ryō, his Persona sensed Eiko in the area and fired a beam shot on her chest, killing her. In the Kanzato residence, Jun had been able to sense Ryō and Eiko's plight.
- While Ito and Akihiko were ordered not to get involved with the Marebito, Shin, Takuro and Kayano trek to the Marebito's hideout in the mountains and do battle with the Personas belonging to Keisuke and Ayane. Jun/Yuki's reawakend Persona, with Morimoto's in addition, was able to even the odds to Shin's and defeat Ayane's for good, but almost everyone lost consciousness. In a vision, Jun tells Shin goodbye. In a distance, he sees Ryo in a harbor.
- Narasaki gets affected by the Apathy Syndrome, forcing everyone including Akihiko to start making preparations to locate the Marebito hideout with Jun's abduction under their watch. Keisuke gets resurrected after Jun got unconscious to control their Persona. Most of the surviving Marebito's Persona were starting to get berserk due to the lack of suppression medication required. Meanwhile, Shin encounters Hiiragi, who was involved in Keisuke's research on Personas and reveals to him the true reason for the nature of their work and why his parents left them in the first place.
- Shin, Takurō, and Megumi bust up a shadow extraction group only to find out that Kanaru is the leader of the group. After a talk, it becomes obvious that she's addicted to shadow extractions and they try convincing her to quit, including Shin beating up the people she was going to meet before she gets there. They then do a sleep over to try to keep her from going out. Toru reveals some information that he knew several other persona users. After she agrees to another shadow extraction, Shin breaks it up by scaring the other boys of with his persona. Depressed because Kanaru gave up, Mayuri offers to do it to her. Kanaru refuses and goes and hides in the park. Shin runs into Mayuri and she leads him to her. He goes into the place she's hiding in and then after he says he will wait outside for her till she calms down. Kanaru freaks out and Shin rushes in to help her. Shin holds onto Kanaru and as the others arrive, they are lifted into the sky by a large bubble of purple persona like energy.
- While Shin goes on a trip with Eiko, Takuro goes to train his Persona with Megumi. Meanwhile, Ryo and Jun get together with Mayuri to see a movie. Mayuri later confronts Ryo in an overpass, but were confronted by Tōma, who was seen to be alive. Ryo and Toma's Persona engage each other in combat, with the latter forced to get away before seeing the mysterious red-haired girl and some whale feathers. Ryo heads down to the coroner's office to see Eiko and despite his earlier battle with Tōma, confirmed his dead corpse.
