Yu Narukami (Persona)/Relationships

This is a list of relationships that Yu Narukami has in the Persona series.
== Family ==
== Friends ==
== Romantic ==
NOTE: All of Yu’s romantic relationships are canonically player-determined, but in the MinneEagle canon, he entered a relationship with each individual listed below.Interestingly, Yu had quite the luck and attraction when it came to women, more notably Rise Kujikawa, who expressed deep interest ever since he rescued her, and moreso, likely having more luck with women than Makoto Yuki and Ren Amamiya.
=== Chie Satanoka ===
Yu and Chie first met in Morooka’s class when the teacher started verbally abusing and harassing Narukami for “ogling girls.” She offered up the desk next to hers as a friendly gesture and even told him that they call him “King Moron.”
The two became closer when they decided to investigate the Television world to find the killer and save his victims. From there, the two began hanging out more often.
Over time as the two spent more time together, Chie showed some subtle and sometimes, even obvious signs that she had developed some sort of feelings for him, but would not quite reveal them.
On their ninth hangout, Yu confessed his feelings for her, which she became flustered but reciprocated those feelings.
However, in the Animation, he and Chie remained good friends.
=== Yukiko Amagi ===
Much like Chie, the two met when Yu transferred to Yasogami High, mostly meeting due to Chie. Like any other friend trying to pair their friend with another, Chie suggested that the two try to hit it off together, which embarrassed Yukiko, but made her blush. After she was rescued thanks to Yu, Yosuke, and Chie’s efforts, the two started to spend time together and even went shopping on multiple occasions. However, when Yu tried her food, he was incredibly disgusted and passed out on numerous occasions, but he tried to give her constructive criticism, which made her grateful but also felt guilty for how her cooking was to Yu.
Throughout their hangouts, Yukiko often showed signs of her developing an attraction to him and even falling for him. During their prayer together, her wish was for her to become a woman “worthy of him,” showing that she wished to be the one that Yu would accept as his lover. Yu later sealed this fortune by confessing his feelings of romance for her, which she happily accepted.
Similar to Chie, in the Animation, their relationship is platonic.
=== Ai Ebihara ===
When Yu first came and joined the basketball team, she initially showed some interest but brushed him off. Later, when he approached her, she decided to give him a chance with her in exchange that he would skip school with her and go with her out on shopping trips.
Throughout, despite her overbearing and pompous behavior, Yu tolerated her due to his patient personality. Around their sixth outing, she wished for the two to become a couple for a bit, but Yu tested her to see if she wanted this, which she revealed that she did not at the moment, but would try again in the future.
On their final outing, she finally offered to become Yu’s official girlfriend, to which he accepted her. Since then, the two became a couple.
In the Animation, similar to the False Lovers path presented in the game, Yu and Ai entered a relationship, albeit a brief one to help her get over the fact that Kou is not all too interested. After a while, she finally decided it was time to break up, which Yu agreed, but remained friends.
=== Sayoko Uehara ===
Yu and Sayoko initially had a strange first meeting, due to Sayoko, feeling lonely at the time, wanting to be with a younger man like Yu, despite him only being sixteen at the time. He often tried to brush her away, which made her more satisfied each time.
However, as time went on, Sayoko confessed her dark and guilty history to him as she confided more. Yu listened and comforted her when needed. In the end, their relationship was mostly platonic, but the two ended up likely having had a fling at least twice, but it is only implied and never shown.
=== Rise Kujikawa ===
Yu and Rise met on strange terms as the murders of Inaba were occurring and she wanted to escape her Persona as Risette, a television star. However, after she saved by the team, she immediately took a liking to Yu and often blurts out several times about her attraction to him, which leaves him a tad bit uncomfortable.
Often times, she even showed herself off to Yu, especially in the cases where she was wearing a yukata and a swimsuit. She is the only girl who actually genuinely showed interest in Yu and was still in love with him, even when he did not spend alone time with her. Oftentimes, she jokingly but sometimes seriously said that the two could marry someday.
After confessing her feelings about her life and choices, fully opening up to Yu, the two shared a pivotal moment where Yu and Rise decide to finally enter a relationship.
In the Animation, her attraction is still obvious, and two bonded over forming origami. In the end of the Golden Animation, when Yu left on his train, Rise yelled out that she was in love with him, confessing her feelings at long last.
=== Naoto Shirogane ===
