それでも

接続:文。それでも、文。
even so, nevertheless still
注意 / Note:それなのに expresses dissatisfaction or surprise; それでも emphasizes still doing; ところが introduces unexpected results.
比較 / Compare:Same song: それなのに/ところが. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:文。それでも、文。The latter part is something that STILL DOES despite obstacles, so it usually carries will. Different from それなのに in that it does not blame.
雨が降っていた。それでも出かけた。
It's raining, but I still go out.
何度失敗しても、それでも諦めない。
Even though I failed many times, I still did not give up.
反対する人は多かった。それでも、彼は自分の考えを貫いた。
Many people objected. Even so, he kept his opinion until the end.
