If we can't have it all...

FOOL
RANK:

"Like I said. I'm not sure there's much you can tell me that they haven't already."

The Brat Pack's Fearless Leader. Mister Perfect came to Inaba to spend a year with his uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, and wound up diving headfirst into a mystery surrounding a series of murders. A series of murders that Adachi was behind all along. Somehow, Seta was able to figure everything out on his own, although Adachi has yet to be caught in his own timeline.

Seta has an obnoxious habit of drawing countless others to him. But if Seta's cool, charismatic demeanor gone makes him the King of Town, then would that make Adachi his Court Jester? He doesn't seem to think so. When Adachi has his way, Seta and his pals will be nothing more than the village idiots.

MAGICIAN
RANK:

"If you died, no one would care. Nobody would miss you for a second. It'd be welcome."

Seta's best friend, the Junes Brat, and - at this point - one of the most persistent thorns in Adachi's side. He's impulsive, he's loud, he doesn't seem to think straight when an enemy is involved. Kinda like Adachi, if you come to think about it.

Hanamura's definitely one of the most vocal when it comes to his burning hatred for the former detective, if not the most vocal, and it wasn't until recently that Adachi finally found out why. Poor kid had a thing for Saki Konishi. Hanamura may never forgive Adachi for the things he's done, for the twisted games he's played, but perhaps he'll like this next game of theirs better...

Or perhaps not.

Either way, this past couple of months hasn't been all fun and games for either of them. Though Adachi wouldn't dare admit as much, the two of them have gone through quite a lot together.

STAR
RANK:

"It's your Teddie here, saving the day!"

Where to even begin with Ted? Of all the kids in Seta's crew, Teddie's the one he understands the least. He's a strange foreign kid who likes to play dress-up and make silly jokes. No claws for alarm, though - Adachi's pretty sure he can bear it for the time being.

STRENGTH
RANK:

"We've got to help each other around here, you know?"

A young man with orange hair who helped Adachi out of a nasty encounter with some hungry crocs. Adachi may have acted a bit suspiciously around Kurosaki, but he was pretty sure he bullshitted his way out of there well enough. He thought so, anyway.

In the time that had passed since then, Kurosaki helped Adachi in a number of ways, both assisting him in cleaning up the Northtown Police Station and in doing him the honor of being its first official prisoner under Adachi's leadership. No hard feelings, though.

Even better? Not only was he offering new ways for Adachi to keep his Persona in check - and piquing the detective's interest with talk of "Hollows" - but he became one of Adachi's most stalwart defenders.

What a good friend. At least until Adachi wound up betraying him.

Great job, Adachi.

PRIESTESS
RANK:

"But doing something is better than doing nothing, right?"

A decent cook, a real knockout, and one of Ichigo's closest friends, it looks like. A little spacey and plenty naive, if you ask Adachi, but that's not to say she hasn't proven herself useful thus far.

Though it's not like she'll be of much use to him now that he's gone and mucked things up with Ichigo and the others. And when you even manage to piss off Orihime Inoue, well...

STAR
RANK:

"I already pretend to be him when he's a normal teenager, so I can pretend to be him when he's a hero too!"

Initially introduced to him as Ichigo's little brother, Kon's a friend of Kurosaki who's got some pretty strange supernatural abilities. That and he's obnoxious enough to try and fight Ichigo's battles for him. Then again, he was able to round up a ragtag band of warriors to take Adachi down back in December.

So who knows? For a piece of soul candy, maybe this guy's got both the courage and the heart of a lion after all.

JESTER
RANK:

"You're trying to save people! That's brave! ...though I guess you need to keep your guard up."

An excitable young boy who seemed to admire Adachi's bravery as a police officer. Adachi was on his best behavior around this kid, but who's to say Czes wasn't playing the exact same card on him...? As it turns out, the boy's got something to hide, too: he's an immortal, and has been for quite some time.

So it goes without saying that he's no ordinary kid. Truth be told, Czeslaw's a pretty manipulative little bastard that can be just as cunning and ruthless as Adachi, if not even more so. Hopefully the detective doesn't take him for granted.

MOON
RANK:

"Looks like I'm not the one you need to worry about."

Rail is a strange girl who first (literally) bumped into Adachi at Foodland back in early May. It sounds as though the one thing they've got in common is a fairly poor diet. Assisted Kurosaki and Hanamura in breaking through the quarantine back in June, but to their mutual surprise, Adachi didn't throw her in jail. Though she still couldn't escape a stern reprimanding.

HANGED MAN
RANK:

"I'm not interested in wasting time on something that's just gonna sit and keep on rotting."

A snarky girl who helped Adachi out with moving out a squad car. Gave Adachi a pretty hard time when it came to forging friendships and fearing death in a place like the Box, but wouldn't you know? She does have at least one person she might be attached to: Czeslaw Meyer.

What exactly their connection is, he still can't quite say. But it was worth looking into, that's for sure. Even more so after she revealed the extent of her abilities. Turns out, Kyoko Sakura's not your ordinary brat: she's a magical girl. One that's more than capable of holding her own in a fight against Adachi's Persona.

Things seem to have calmed down since their last fight, now that they both seem to understand one another. But for how long...?

AEON
RANK:

"Y'know. That was a pretty neat trick back there! Though if you we're tryin' to scare me, it didn't work."

A red-haired stranger that Adachi's had the misfortune of bumping into several times now. It doesn't appear as though he's affected by Magatsu-Izanagi's powers of influence, nor does he seem to be fooled by Adachi's nice guy act. Just who the hell is this guy, anyway...?

DEVIL
RANK:

"Welp. You got everyone's attention now, cocksock! Congratu-friggin-lations!"

God, what an asshole. Moving on.
