I'm incredibly interested in your Yagami in P4 AU 👀 I actually have a whole P4 AU with my friend based off of Judgment since they're two of my favorite games I'm completely invested in this crossover

Okay so!! The timelines and details are gonna have to be a bit fucked bc p4 is set in 2011 while judgment is in 2018, so let's just not think about the year lol

Yagami is a detective sent from the city to help investigate the Inaba serial murders. He wasn't involved with the Mole just yet, and the Okubo case was still pretty fresh to him.

When he first arrived, he started by asking a few Yasogami students about the murders. Yu was one of the students he interviewed.

He properly met the IT after they ran into a group of thugs. Kanji was about to throw hands, but Yagami stepped in and took care of them instead. Naoto recognized him as the detective from the city, so he introduced himself to the rest of the IT. Someone even asked him for info, but he refused to say much.

After he left, Naoto told them about what she knew about him. How he used to be a lawyer, about the whole thing with Okubo... y'know how everyone introduced Yagami lol

One day, as they were discussing the case at Junes, Yagami overheard them and confronted them about it. Saying how they shouldn't get involved bc it's dangerous, etc. They argued for a bit, but eventually Yagami let it go and left. They became wary of him, because he clearly noticed that they were being way too involved in the case. So they tried to keep their distance with him.

A few days later, they saw Yagami being interviewed on TV. Other than asking him about the murders, they also asked him about the rumors of how he let a murderer run free back from when he was a lawyer, making him real uncomfortable. He managed to awkwardly shut the topic down.

The interview was obviously followed by him appearing on the midnight channel.

When he fully appeared in the tv, his shadow appeared as a judge in a courtroom, talking about how he would "condemn" anyone he deemed necessary. How the truth doesn't matter to him.

When the IT came to save him, Yagami's shadow appeared and told Yagami that he only came here to run away from his mistakes, because he didn't want to admit or think about how he caused an innocent woman to die. His so called 'judgment' only led others to their misery, 'condemning' them to a bitter fate. He couldn't live with himself, so he was only trying to prove himself so he could be a 'hero' again, in hopes that it would overshadow his past. But he knew that sooner or later, someone else would have to pay the price, that it was inevitable the moment he decided to be involved.

Yagami denied his shadow, and it transformed into a dog-like creature with two pairs of arms, one pair holding a dagger in each hand. An unbalanced scale protruding from its back.

The IT fought his shadow, and Yagami eventually accepts it as a part of him. He gets the persona Anubis. (I am aware that he's already an existing persona. I simply do not care.)

His element is Garu/Wind (I'm honestly still torn between wind and light, but i think wind suits him better? Light suits Anubis better, but hm..)

Yagami wanted an explanation, but he told them that he had a concussion, which he guessed happened from when the kidnapper tried to get him into the tv. He doesn't go down easily, so he figured the kidnapper would resort to hitting his head to get him to black out.

When he recovered and met up with the IT again, they explained the midnight channel and the tv world to him. Now that he knew that world was strongly related to the murders, he asked to join the team.

He joined with the Judgment arcana lol. (Yeah ik that's supposed to be for the IT. Again idc.)

Fun fact i started thinking about this crossover when i was watching Yagami's dancing videos, and i thought about him dancing to specialist lmaoo
