Was his appearance as Dojima's bumbling sidekick a mere facade, or was it really part of his personality that he outwardly expressed to mask his darker side? There was also his Establishing Character Moment where he vomits upon seeing Mayumi's corpse, which muddies things even further. Then there's the revelation that he was the Killer. Is he truly The Ditz, or is he smarter than he lets on? It's implied that it's simply laziness and Small Town Boredom that gives him little motivation to work as hard as he should.After all, Saki's own Shadow never appears, and she's dead by this point in the story, so its possible that his Shadow projected those emotions outwardly in an attempt to bait him. Alternatively, it was all an illusion by Yosuke's shadow, representing what Yosuke feared she thought of him. Since she is being pressured herself about the latter both at home and by strangers, it's just as likely that she actually means what she says about the protagonist looking after Yosuke.

The one scene she has with Yosuke she legitimately seems worried about him making friends due to being both new in town and the son of the manager of Junes. This is supported by the fact that the only time Saki is portrayed as hateful towards Yosuke is her Shadow Self's lingering thoughts, and of course she'd be freaked out by a rambling weirdo saying she'll die and a police officer who is leering at her, so her reactions to them are justified. It's possible that Saki hating Yosuke was just an exaggeration of her frustration with her situation (working for Junes when the department store is taking business from her family's liquor shop) or was present in a mild sense and exaggerated by her shadow, likely also being a source of shame for her. Did Saki really hate Yosuke? As the battles with shadows have shown, they are an exaggeration of the character's true self rather than their true embodiment, such as Kanji being Camp Gay when in reality struggling with people's perception of him, Rise being promiscuous when in reality being stressed about her career and image, and Chie resenting Yukiko when she really was concerned she was abusing her friendship with Yukiko.Adorkable: Just as much as Marie's amnesia is Played for Drama, the times it's Played for Laughs makes her come across as really endearing, especially when she suffers from culture shock and can't pronounce words like 'salad dressing' and 'electric outlets' right.Yosuke: What, really? I know you were always good with your hands and- uh, never mind.To say nothing of 'Yosuke pounded an enemy!' by Teddie.Chie: ' Alright guys, pile on! Are you ready?' And if refused: 'We're not gonna do it? Aww.'.
