- Original Airdate: 16-12-2011
"When their homeroom teacher, Kinshiro Morooka - dubbed by the students as "King Moron" - is found murdered, the group is confused as he had not appeared on television, much less the Midnight Channel like the other victims. Curious if Morooka was thrown into the television world without their knowledge, they decide to talk to Teddie, amazed to find him in the real world this time and surprised to see that he has grown a human body inside his costume, horrifying the kids that find the head. They give him new clothes and have him blend in as a human. As the gang head to Marukyu Tofu, they are met by the student that Kanji was talking to, who is revealed to be a junior detective named Naoto Shirogane, who confirms the three serial murders that have happened so far. Rise later agrees to join the gang to solve the mystery behind the victims and murders. The next day at school, the class is introduced to their new homeroom teacher, Noriko Kashiwagi, who behaves in a very flirtatious manner. Later that day, Yukiko is approached by the same disturbed student who had been stalking her, but she again turns down his offer to go out with him. While at his house, upset over being rejected, the disturbed student - revealed to be Mitsuo Kubo, decides to take credit for the three murders to an online chatroom. But when he is brushed off as a troll, he storms out of his house and turns himself in to the police. The following day while the group is at Junes, Naoto tells them that the police have closed the case, due to Mitsuo turning himself in. Unconvinced, the group decides to check out the Midnight Channel once more, where they find Mitsuo taunting the viewer to catch him if they can."
#12 -- It's Not Empty At All - Written by: Yūko Kakihara- Original Airdate 23-12-2011
" The gang enters the television world to find Mitsuo in a video game simulation. They discuss how they believe Mitsuo is the culprit behind the murders and how Yukiko, Kanji, and Rise have all come into contact with him before they were thrown into the television world. By the time they track down Mitsuo, they see him arguing with his other self over the murders, while his other self claims that he is "empty". Once Mitsuo refuses its statements, it begins to transform into a Shadow. Suddenly, time skips forward to after the battle, when the group is planning a party to celebrate the resolution of the murder case. A month later however, the group starts falling apart, but Yu and Yosuke remain as friends, as do Chie and Yukiko. On a rainy night, Yu is unable to watch the Midnight Channel, let alone pass through the television. When he hears the voice of Mitsuo's Shadow inside his room, he taunts him, telling him that his bonds are now empty since he is cannot summon his Persona anymore. Yu starts to give up hope when the Shadow strangles him, but Yosuke rescues him, revealing that they are in an illusion Mitsuo's Shadow created. Reunited with his friends, Yu confidently retorts to the Shadow that he is "far from empty" and summons several Personas representing all of the bonds he has made since for the past few months to attack the Shadow. When the Shadow is defeated, they confront Mitsuo, who shamelessly admits to being behind the three murders, but are surprised when his other self disappears instead of turning into a Persona. Yu proposes that the gang have a celebratory party for Mitsuo's arrest. After the party, Nanako and Teddie make a promise that he will come over to play with her, and Yosuke tells Yu about the shopping district's summer festival."
