This Fan Fic contains examples of:
- Actor Allusion:
- Chapter 34 has a string of these. Joker tells Yu that he sounds exactly like Nero from Devil May Cry 4 (both Johnny Yong Bosch), and Yu says that he gets that a lot. Teddie bets Joker that he can't be a video game character, to which he claims (and then demonstrates) that he can flawlessly imitate the Super Smash Bros. announcer (both Xander Mobus). Yosuke follows this by mentioning his Spider-Man impression (a reference to Yuri Lowenthal voicing him in Spider-Man (PS4)), before pointing out that they have more important things to be doing.
- In chapter 29, Haru tells Morgana that it’s good he resists electricity, to which Morgana replies “Piiikaaa.”. Both Morgana (In the Japanese dub) and Pikachu are voiced by Ikue Otani.
- Actually Pretty Funny: Yukiko bursts out laughing at Yusuke's remark comparing Rise to a crab, while his comparisons of the rest of them eventually have her rolling on the floor. Since none of these were even meant as jokes or insults, this just has Yusuke despondent that she's not going to take him seriously as an opponent.
- Adaptational Badass: Both Taki and Mitsuha are this, thanks to them acquiring Personas.
- Adaptational Job Change: In present-day Tokyo, Mitsuha was working as a salesperson at a fashion store, here she's an amateur detective trying to solve her father's death while working at Destinyland as a princess.
- Adapted Out:
-
Word of God confirmed that Marie from Persona 4 Golden is one of the few individuals that is not included in this series due to the author’s mass dislike on her existence and views her being irrelevant to both the Investigation Team and Persona 4’s story in general. Thus explaining Marie’s mass absence in Inaba and not being involved with the Investigation Team. Even the author strongly confirmed to everyone that she will not appear in the sequel no matter what. - Mitsuha's friends Teshigawara and Sayaka as well as Taki's Tokyo friends Tsukasa and Shinta. Although Tessie and Saya do show up later as friends Mitsuha makes in Tokyo.
- Yukari Yukino is replaced by Morooka as Mitsuha's homeroom teacher.
- Comet Tiamat and its role in the story. It comes into play as the final attack Taki and Mitsuha make.
-
- Armor-Piercing Question: When the Investigation Team capture Joker and interrogate him, they attempt to guilt trip him with some of the less positive consequences of the Phantom Thieves' actions. Before Yu leaves, Ren stops him and gives the team a detailed account of his false arrest and how his life was ruined. The whole team are pretty shaken by it, and when Ren asks, "Tell me something Narukami, if you were in that situation? What would you have done differently from me?" Yu can only answer, "Not a whole lot to be honest."
- Audience Surrogate: Taki and Mitsuha are this once they join their respective groups, and done once more when they switch bodies again.
- Canon Welding: Mitsuha's hometown is now Inaba rather than Itomori, and Taki now attends Shujin Academy. Mitsuha's father's hometown is Mikage-cho.
- Composite Character:
- The woman Shido was assaulting before the events of Persona 5 is Taki's sempai Ms. Okudera in this version of the story.
- Inaba is a composite town, having several locations from Itamori transplanted to it including the Miyamizu Shrine. Several characters roles are likewise shifted over with Mitsuha's father as Inaba's mayor and Tam being the Miyamizu Shrine's pet.
- The Investigation Team and the Phantom Thieves replace Mitsuha and Taki's respective friend groups from the original movie.
- Corrupt Politician: Shido and his party as usual. Mitsuha's father, although hinted to be involved with Shido's group, ends up as an aversion and gets killed for it.
- Death by Adaptation: Mitsuha's father, Toshiki is alive and well in the present of Your Name, here he was one of the first mental shutdown victims.
- Demoted to Extra: For the first act of the story, the Investigation Team and Phantom Thieves take a backseat to Taki and Mitsuha's plot line.
- Exact Words: When Seong kidnaps Nanako, he threatens to kill her if Yu doesn't kill Joker. He makes no promises for what he'll do to her if Yu succeeds. Yu acts shocked and disgusted about this, but he really isn't.
- Everyone Went to School Together: Before settling in Inaba, Mitsuha's dad witnessed the events at Mikage-cho, worked with Wakaba Ishiki and Sojiro Sakura, and helped Ryotaro Dojima get together with his future wife.
- Faking the Dead: Similar to canon, Ren plans to fake his murder at Yu's hand, sending him a coded message involving a copy of The Adventures of Arsene Lupin and one of the library's computer terminals.
- False Cause: In Chapter 8, Mitsuha uses Taki's phone to make a Phan-Site request for Mr. Morooka, only to return to her body the next morning and find out that he's been murdered, apparently like the previous victims. She immediately assumes the worst and tries to make a statement to the police, which, since the Phantom Thieves don't exist yet, is completely incomprehensible. However, when she leaves a message to Taki about this, he replies and manages to calm her down, pointing out that the police already have a suspect and that it wouldn't make sense for the Phantom Thieves to resort to murder when they didn't do so for their previous much worse targets, nor are they likely to be operating this far outside of Tokyo anyway.
- "Freaky Friday" Flip: As with the source material, Taki and Mitsuha find themselves swapping bodies at random times. This causes complications when the two switch while both are in the Metaverse, resulting in the Investigation Team meeting Taki's Shadow soon after Mitsuha's. Later on, Taki develops the ability to swap with anyone he touches.
- He Knows Too Much: Implied to be the reason Toshiki Miyamizu was murdered.
- Innocent Innuendo: When Teddie tried making friends online, he told someone he was a bear and sent them a photograph, only to be told that he was "totally a twink". When he asks Mitsuha what a twink is, everyone else starts looking at Kanji.
- Intercontinuity Crossover: Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima from the Yakuza series also make an appearance.
- In Spite of a Nail: Even though Tiamat didn't hit it in this setting, it's implied Itomori was still destroyed. Saya mentions their hometown was destroyed by a flood.
- I Will Find You: When Taki is in Mitsuha's body during the climax of Persona 4, he writes her a calling card signed, "Scarlet of the Phantom Thieves."Dear Lady Mitsuha Miyamizu, the bizarre spit-sake girl of Inaba. You are a shrill, easily impressed and naive person who is amazed by the world and the people in it. You are emotional and forthright, always speaking your mind even when it's not wanted. Yet despite this, your intentions and heart are both pure and constantly seeking for the truth. Your reality may seem distorted, your memories may fade, but you must know this:
No matter where you are. No matter how far apart we may be. No matter if years, or continents, or gods or demons of heaven and hell stand between us, I solemnly swear to you and only you... that I will find you. And I will steal your heart. - Let's You and Him Fight: In the final, original-content arc of the story, the Investigation Team and the Phantom Thieves come into conflict due to circumstances and misunderstandings.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Mitsuha in the present day Persona 5 plotline.
- Mythology Gag: A fragment of a comet still factors in to the finale.
- No Name Given: The Boy with the Earring is never referred to by name, with the narrator of his segment noting that he has never bothered to learn said character's name.
- Not His Sled: The final scene of Your Name plays out in Chapter 35 in Mitsuha's Palace, but when Taki and Mitsuha meet on the staircase, the two give their codenames, Scarlet and Adler instead.
- Old, New, Borrowed and Blue: The four treasures in Mitsuha's Palace, with the "Something Borrowed" being from a memory of when she was in Taki's body.
-
Unexpected Character:- The Final Boss of the last arc turns out to be Erebus from Persona 3.
- Following the above, the Protagonist from Persona 3 puts in an appearance for the final battle, having briefly swapped bodies with Taki.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: The Investigation Team, especially Yu, becomes this for the Phantom Thieves in the last arc. Yu references Inspector Zenigata by name when Ren escapes at the end.
- Token Evil Teammate: The last arc has Tohru Adachi and Goro Akechi being forced to work with the Phantom Thieves and the Investigation Team respectively, including an Evil vs. Evil matchup in Chapter 33, before genuinely teaming up to rescue Nanako..
- Wham Episode: Chapter 14: Mitsuha and Taki both get their Personas.
- Chapter 18: Taki and the Phantom Thieves find Inaba covered in yellow fog and Mitsuha and most of the Investigation Team possibly dead. Then Taki remembers meeting Mitsuha three years ago and, after some advice from the Fox, manages to swap bodies with her one last time.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Ann pulls this on Yosuke by claiming that she was blackmailed into helping the Phantom Thieves, before knocking him out with a pipe. "Can’t believe he fell for that."
The Sequel contains examples of:
- Back from the Dead: As per canon, several dead (or otherwise absent) individuals return, with only all the Wild Cards noticing anything's up.
- Demoted to Extra: So far, Taki and Mitusha take a backseat in the sequel, with the main focus being on Ren, Yu, Akechi, Adachi, Minato and Aegis.
- "Eureka!" Moment: When Adachi asks Minato 'Okay who the hell made YOU High Counselor?" (apparently meaning "Chancellor"), Ren thinks back to meeting Dr. Maruki.
- Remember the New Guy?: Dr. Maruki is introduced through a series of flashbacks to the events of Persona 5: Royal, none of which were seen in the original fic for obvious reasons.
