P3M#2 - Midsummer Knight’s Dream

Makoto becomes interested in the Babe Hunt Operation for the first time when he lays eyes on Aigis.

He is literally awestruck when he sees her. Their meeting also has their own theme song: Confessions.

Later that night, Yukari and Makoto are attacked by Shadows and Aigis comes to save them. Makoto's eyes start trembling as soon as he sees her.

Once Aigis destroys all Shadows, she hugs a stunned Makoto and declares that she has always been searching for him and that her highest priority is to be by his side.

Ikutsuki explains that Aigis suddenly reactivated on her own that day, and Aigis says that she doesn't know why that was but that it's very important for her to be by Makoto's side, much to his surprise.

Aigis wakes up Makoto five minute's earlier than his alarm clock. Instead of being startled by it, he just wraps himself in the covers and tries to go back to sleep while Aigis tries to convince him to get up.

Makoto is surprised when Aigis reveals that she can talk to Koromaru. Aigis points a distracted Makoto in the direction of the enemy.

When they get attacked, Aigis jumps in to protect Makoto. He tries to tell her not to go fight alone, but Aigis tells him that her job is to protect him (much to his shock) and activates Orgia mode.

However, she is in danger once she overheats. A weakened Makoto cries out her name, tries to crawl to her, and begs the shadow to "Stop!" while reaching out for Aigis.

Afterwards, Makoto goes to Aigis and asks her if she's okay. She says yes while messing up Japanese saying, and Makoto smiles and tells her that's not how she's supposed to use that phrase.

Makoto plays along when Aigis (unknowingly) teases Shinjiro.

Makoto goes with Aigis to the Summer Festival. They visit one of the stands together (with Makoto telling her she has to use the fake gun instead of her finger-guns).

They run into Ken and Shinjiro. The four go together to the goldfish stand and Makoto once again plays along to Aigis's humor, much to Shinjiro's and Ken's chagrin. Then, the four of them go to watch the fireworks together.

Aigis starts going to school, takes the empty seat by Makoto's side (while he smiles at her) and then declares to the entire class that she wishes to always be by Makoto's side.

They go to a café with Fuuka, Junpei and Yukari and Makoto is surprised when Aigis declares that she will no longer have a raison d'être once that Shadows are destroyed. This is most likely because he himself felt the same way. They are also sitting together.

Aigis separates Shinjiro from Makoto when an angry Shinji grabs him by the collar.

The following night, Aigis drops by Makoto's room. He asks her if there is something wrong with him, and Aigis admits that she does not know but that his actions were incomprehensible to her. She then reassures him that despite that, being by his side is what's most important to her.

During the battle against the Shadow Boss, Makoto hesitates and Aigis is surprised by this.

Extra: they're usually by each other's side in Group Shots.

P3M#3 - Falling Down

Aigis is the first to react when Makoto wakes up. Then, they finish the Shadow together (Aigis breaks its wings and tells Makoto to finish it off).

At school, Aigis looks at a thoughtful Makoto.

Aigis notices Makoto leaving and goes to check up on him. Then, Makoto expresses fear that Aigis will disappear just like Pharos did ("You won't go and disappear on us, will you, Aigis?"). Then, Aigis reveals that Makoto and Yukari had asked Ikutsuki to not deactivate her. She tells Makoto he has nothing to worry about, but he is too weary to believe her and goes inside his room.

When Ikutsuki reveals his true colors, Makoto is on guard like everyone else. But as soon as Ikutsuki mentions Aigis, Makoto gasps in shock.

Then, he calls out to her and tries to go to her but Aigis stops him by shooting at his feet. A shocked Makoto realizes Aigis doesn't recognize them.

Makoto keeps crying Aigis's name as she prepares to shoot them. Then, when she liberates them, Makoto runs to her side and holds her in his arms.

Ikutsuki takes control of Aigis again, who crawls on top of Makoto and points her finger-guns at him while trying to stop all the while. Makoto looks away.

Aigis falls ontop of Makoto, who holds her to his chest again.

When Makoto goes off on his own, Aigis feels there's something off and goes to check on him. Makoto, who had been trying to keep his distance from others, can't help but to run to her and hold her, since she was still weak.

Their song plays again as Aigis tells him that wherever he is going, she wants to go with him. Because her highest priority is to be by his side. Makoto tries to resist her, saying that she'll vanish as well someday. But while he turns his back on her, he immediately reaches out to her when he hears her falter.

Aigis then tells him that she won't go anywhere and that she won't leave him be alone. Because: "I'm sure that is why I was granted this eternity of time". Makoto hugs her at that, leaving out a whimpering sigh.

However, by the time Aigis goes back to school, Makoto is back to closing himself off. Aigis is visibly hurt by this.

Makoto is then shown being the only one looking as Ryoji tries to flirt with Aigis.

Aigis objects to the idea of Ryoji going with Makoto and the others to the Karaoke.

When the girls tell Aigis that having a new friend (Ryoji) could be good for him, Aigis starts seriously reflecting on this. So, she no longer keeps Ryoji away from him but still keeps an eye on them.

Aigis wants to be assigned to Makoto's room during the Kyoto School Trip. So, she climbs to their window and asks Ryoji to switch rooms with her. Makoto actually doesn't react to any of this until Aigis tries to get Ryoji and Junpei off through the window instead of through the door. All of them end up falling, and Makoto laughs for the first and only time in all the movies.

When they get caught at the hot springs, Makoto goes "Aigis..." and Aigis says that it's been nice knowing them.

Aigis joins Makoto and Ryoji, sneaking in between them while they buy souvenirs. Aigis notes that Junpei looks like he's having fun, and a smiling Makoto agrees.

When Junpei tells Chidori that since they're both afraid of being alone and losing one another, they should stay together, Makoto smiles and says "That's it, isn't it?". The camera then focuses on him and Aigis, who doesn't get what he's talking about.

Makoto jumps in to protect Aigis from an attack.

At the end of the movie, Aigis's, Makoto's and Ryoji's memories from 10 years ago come back.

The movie ends with Makoto coming across a fallen Aigis, crying out her name and being shocked to see Ryoji there.

P3M#4 - Winter of Rebirth

It kicks off with a flashback to 10 years ago, when Aigis seals Death into a young Makoto.

Back in the present, Makoto gathers the fallen Aigis in his arms. She tells him she remembers why she wanted to be by his side, cups his face and apologizes before passing out.

When SEES starts fighting Ryoji, we see Makoto in the back looking at Aigis before getting ready to fight.

Makoto goes to visit Aigis in the lab during winter, and it's the very first time he smiles in the movie.

He updates her on the situation and Aigis apologizes again for what she did 10 years ago, suggesting that if she hadn't, he wouldn't be suffering right now. Makoto tells her it's not her fault. He then opens up to her about not being able to remember his mother's last words and about wondering why she had smiled at him before dying. Aigis is the first and only person Makoto tells this to during the movie. Aigis then asks him to kill Ryoji in order to forget their pain. Neither of them look happy with the prospect.

Akihiko invites Makoto to eat to pay for his bet, since Makoto won in “seducing” Aigis back at Yakushima.

When Makoto imagines their Group Picture, he pictures Aigis smiling fondly at him.

When Makoto decides not to kill Ryoji, a distraught Aigis cries that she had asked him to choose to forget so none of them would suffer.

Makoto (and Koromaru) find Aigis at the school rooftop. There, Aigis tells him that she's got no purpose now since she can't defeat Ryoji and that she's a machine devoid of emotions. As an arranged version of their theme (now called “The Heart of Two”) starts to play, Makoto makes his way towards her and tells her that she's not a machine and that she's just like them.

Aigis confesses that even though Death is gone now, she still wants to be by Makoto's side. Then, Makoto tells her that he can't remember how the sakura were last year but that he wants to remember properly this time. So "Let's go see the cherry blossoms together, okay?"

This makes Aigis realize that she herself wants to live. And she says that she feels she may be able to find a reason for her existence "Together, with you". Makoto agrees ("Yes. Together."), and the two look into each other's eyes as the sky begins to clear up.

When the others get there, Junpei catches on the way Aigis and Makoto look at each other and asks if something happened between them.

Aigis is touched when Makoto says SEES will definitely regain their memories.

Aigis says that "She won't let him get in Makoto-san's way" when she fights against Jin.

Aigis is the first to run to him when they all get to the top of Tartarus.

As they get swarmed by shadows, Aigis watches Makoto fall and cries out to him. Then as he opens his eyes, Aigis fighting is the first thing he sees. He then looks around only to see his friends fall one by one. But he stays determined to save them.

Then, Makoto is about to get absorbed by a shadow when he is saved by Aigis. He turns just in time to see her smile at him before getting overpowered by the shadows. Makoto then quite literally loses his shit and screams his lungs out.

Makoto fuses Messiah and beats all the shadows. Aigis calls out his name. Makoto turns to look at her, smiles at her and tells her to "Live on." His very last words and the very same ones his mother told him before dying.

His Evoker falls by Aigis's hands.

A distraught Aigis can only watch as he leaves them, trying to reach out to him and screaming out his name while holding his fallen Evoker.

Aigis is the last voice Makoto hears before using the seal. "You remember our promise, don't you? Promise me... Promise you'll come back!" she cries out.

Afterwards, a heartbroken Aigis cries "Why can't I protect the one I cherish?" while holding Makoto's Evoker and looking at it.

In March, Junpei tells Makoto "Nothing really life-changing happened, huh?" right before Makoto sees Aigis watching them from behind a tree. Their theme starts playing as Makoto stops walking, staring at the empty space where Aigis had been standing. Then, this eyes widen. Seeing Aigis literally triggered him getting his memories back.

Makoto struggles to make it up to the rooftop, a look of hopeful urgency in his face. When he opens the door, there stands Aigis.

They smile at each other and make their way to one another. Makoto stumbles halfway and Aigis catches him in her arms, hugs him close and welcomes him home while he smiles, his head on her shoulder.
