Development Notes
The episode was written on 3/2/13 and recorded between 3/2/13 and 5/19. The editing began the week of the 18th after episode 1 was completed but didn’t get going until all the lines were turned in.


 * Kurohei’s lines 3/3/13
 * Corgi’s lines 3/3/13
 * SlowkingCole’s lines 3/3/13 and 3/30/13
 * TechnologistTumbles’ lines 3/22/13

Opening/Ending Credits

 * The opening credits were by Kurohei as Yosuke Hanamura.
 * The ending credits song “I’ll Face Myself (Battle)” was chosen as the credits because Persona 4-related song wasn’t chosen for episode 1’s and because this was the first battle against a shadow self to date.

Post-Credits
There are a bunch of things at the end.
 * The first is the interviewer talking to Yukiko on TV.


 * After that, there is a semi-deleted scene where Yu asks Yosuke to refer to him as Narukami.


 * After that, we get a blooper like in episode 1 and it ends with a typo in a title card.

Trivia

 * A few scenes in this episode were re-written. The first revisions were small and made the morning after the script’s inception and bigger changes were made after episode 1 was completed (and before most people had recorded and sent in their lines.)
 * The first scene made in this episode was the introduction of Shadow Yosuke so SlowkingCole could get a feel for how he wanted Shadow Yosuke to sound and also because he wasn’t sure if the lines needed to be re-recorded or not.
 * This episode had a lot of small bits of dialogue tweaked and removed during the editing. A bit of dialogue from Igor and some banter between Teddie and Yu were deleted because there weren’t enough varying bits of animation to use and to make it flow better.
