JUNPEI IORI
 |
| Chidori & Junpei |
Junpei first appears in Persona 3, as he becomes the main character's
best friend throughout the events that unfold during the game. A class
clown in school, his character is always associated with comic relief in the game, as he is also somewhat of a pervert and usually gets slapped by Yukari. He constantly plays video games and doesn't pay attention to his schoolwork at all. His Persona mirror his own abilities as they are based mostly of physical attacks.
Found crying in a convenience store during the
Dark Hour, Junpei was extended an invitation from Akihiko to join the SEES group, which he immediately accepted. Junpei never really had a reason for fighting when he first joins SEES.
He thought defeating Shadows during the Dark Hour is just like some
kind of game. He really wanted his friends to look up to him as the true
leader, instead of Minato, but he later began to realize that he just
isn't cut out for it. He becomes jealous at the
main character (Minato) because of his unique
persona ability, the Wild Card. There were times where he questions his own purpose for fighting, and he found it when he met Chidori. a member of Strega. They first meet when Junpei was observing her sketching by herself.

At first she views him as weird and annoying, but because of Junpei's
persistence to get to know her, they start talking. But Junpei is
completely unaware that she is a member of Strega. When Chidori ends up
at the hospital after a full moon incident she still hated the rest of
the SEES members, except Chidori. Junpei tries to talk to her. At first,
it does not go well, but his recent visits bring about a personality
change within Chidori. She tells Junpei that she did not fear or care
for anything until they both met. Eventually, they fall in love with
each other as the story progresses. This also leads to Chidori
questioning where her loyalties lie; to Takaya, or Junpei. On a full moon, Chidori fights the SEES
members and they defeat her. When Junpei tries to stop her, Strega
shows up, and Takaya shoots Junpei. As Junpei is about to die, Chidori
suprises everyone by bringing him back to life, as it it her persona's
special ability. Before she dies, she tells Junpei that she doesn't fear
death anymore because she can live inside him, and be together forever
(this explains Trismegistus' special ability, Spring of Life). This
tragic event triggers a huge change in Junpei's character. After
Chidori's tragic death, he loses his will to keep fighting. He questions
his own purpose of fighting Shadows; why he wants to fight, and why he
does not have a very good reason to do so. But seeing Chidori's sketchbook, which contained detailed and well-done portraits of Junpei, he gains a great reason to keep fighting.
