-he sits down in front of the station -stands up seeing someones shadow revealed by the moonlight -asked to sit down and talk with that someone -stands up after 6 seconds of silence he tries to be so mysterious and emo but instead hes just really funny. happens as well in the same movie with him and aigis after aigis runs off to find him in the middle of the night. dude just cant help but care about other people. love this dumb idiot guy.
Hmm. Frankly, he doesn't "try" to be anything. Just to interact with others as little as possible, bc he's in his "loss hurts, so I go numb again" arc. Y'know, the only defense mechanism he knew for his entire life since losing his parents to rights before this year of school? His goal is simple: distance himself, detach from life again, do as little as possible not to trigger anything painful. He's not trying to be mysterious or look cool, or act edgy. But, he can't truly go back to how he was. That's why it comes off as awkward.
And here I thought Ryoji in Reload was really funny and sweet... I love how many versions this guy has, and each of them is absolutely in love with MC, no matter if they are a guy or a girl
There are a lot of similarities with evangelion. * Main character persona goes berserk, turns into a persona that looks like berserk evangelion. * A group of children fights against certain supershadows (angels).

Honestly i never knew people shipped Makoto with Ryouji, in the game i always got the feeling more of a friend or let's be honest being another part of the protagonist. Due to the only reason Death to be humanized is because it was sealed into an human, and with Nyx being the indirect progenitor of life in the way we know on Earth in the Persona universe, it knowing about humans and how to live life as best as you can, Death took human form after being with you for 10 years and after separeting from you turned into your best friend. It's pretty poethic, and really exemplifies the themes of Persona 3 Death is not your enemy but something you must learn to live with, so you spend your days on bonds, because those are the things that truly make live beautiful, even the memeable phrase that Nyx Avatar says everytime it changes phases The Arcana is the way by which all is revealed, are actual life changing advices about how to live a life that brings value to you, every single variation. As to live is to die. Memento Mori.
11:06 they really need to make this its own persona. So i did. Thanatos is a greek god that is the personification of peaceful death. This design looks a lot more violent and sinister, so with a few small tweaks, let's call it Keres. The Keres were female death spirits, respresnting violent death. Similarly to the Valkyries of Norse Mythology, the Keres searched battlefields for dead soldiers. The Keres were sisters of Thanatos and Hypnos, and were described by Hesiod in the *Shield of Heracles* as "dark beings with gnashing teeth and claws and with a thirst for human blood." This has been your unwanted Persona video Mythology lesson
honestly just going thru and watching p3 stuff since the remaster is out and im broke, but i miss this game and the movies. i always liked these two together. i also like minato with elizabeth. i feel like he has good connections with more outcast characters in p3, more so than his closer friends. its interesting to me, love ryomina the best though, i think the final boss stuff really makes this ship more dynamic
Don't worry about the "remaster" it's just a port of persona 3 portable. But yeah i know that fealing Of wanting to play again. I also like Minato x ryoji.. It reminds me of kaworu from Evangelion... and his mythical phrase I was born to meet you. Because I feel that Ryoji and Minato complement each other very well
Now that reloaded is on its way, and we know the dev team was responsible for all the gay in Royal’s 3rd semester, I hope they include the relationship in the game. Kind of like how it is here, they really made Ryoji great and didn’t squander the potential like the original P3 did
Actually? Male social links that got crossed out in the female route make cameos in it (fir example keisuke). So all "possible" social links are canon and exist within the universe, we just don't make bonds with them.
I don’t understand this interpretation of them being gay for each other… imo I see them as close friends but go with your head canon….? Imo Aigis X Makoto is better but that’s just me
I like Ryoji x Makoto and Aigis x Makoto. Both r good. I don’t normally ship Makoto with anyone tho, so I only like the ships a tiny bit (compared to the other ones) but their interactions can be both platonic and romantic. Really the only ship I really am into is Yukari x Mitsuru lol
Makoto is in love with Aigis, more explicitly in the films but arguably without player imput in the games, too. But of course, see two guys be close and it has to be gay to some people.
@@avelvett @ununun7012 Damn someone with an obvious bias against me isn't sympathetic to me arguing my position? Color me shocked. And yes, Aigis x Makoto is canon, esp in the movies but even in the game. Quit coping and face facts.
@@frikizone2.03 at least ryoji is gay my guy. In femc's route, he literally confessed to her that no matter what gender she is, he will always be into her. And even if somehow both of them were not gay, that didn't stop anyone from shipping them, because they had certain chemistry with each other. Remember this is a video game, we are talking about fictional characters here, so as long as its not real people there is no actual harm to anyone if people want to headcanon their ship.
I think we can rule out the possibility of ryoji liking Makoto. In P3P if you choose femc, in one his SL he talks about how he would fall in love with mc regardless if you're a boy or a girl... And I think it's not even in rank 8/9 but between rank 3 or 4
I love that this is basically just ever moment Ryoji is on screen lmao
Mfw emo guy falls in love with death itself
lmao fr
Truest statement ever for this series.
He's in love with Aigis, not Ryoji. Whole reason he lets Ryoji in is that he doesn't give a shite about him, at least not at first.

Messiah is clearly the result of Ryoji's love for Makoto and Makoto's inner self.
in other words! their lovechild!/hj
Ryoji It reminds me of kaworu from Evangelion..
Both are obsessed with the protagonist, both die fast
fun fact they have the same va

Memento Mori.
the way makoto says ryouji at 6:53
And then when he laughs 7:18
14:24 just noticed that for one frame there right after using his evoker, in the initial flash you can kinda see the figure of ryoji
yes there are two flashes, first one after he says persona and the second one is the one after that
his persona was mostly like thanatos and the figure of death
imagine being so intimate with someone and showing them fucking burn my dread -last battle- of all things. what a dork. i would never recover.

at LEAST give them the same amount of flirting-not-flirting that akechi and joker have
You guys are so right. P3r give us ryomina crumbs like p5r gave us shuake crumbs
Its not much, but it is kind of there lol
It would've been completely there if
(spoilers)
FUUKA DIDN'T FUCKING COCKBLOCK US
good news ryoji literally confessed to him in reload
The movies were what made Ryoji among my favorite Persona 3 characters; that he shares the same voice as Minato is something I'll always marvel over.
The say gex is strong with this one
It’s been said before but I like how DEATH ITSELF is, in a way, Makoto’s shadow.
Knitting each others colors 4:10
THE DETAILS I SWEAR 😭😭😭😭!!!!!!!!
Dude the amt of times i could watch the entire movie series is unhealthy 😂 it's too good
Makotos laugh
If reload adapts any of these scenes the game is peak in my book:3
ive watched this 58 times now.. its beautiful.
thank you so much for this compilation,,

i love neon genesis evangelion
I really gotta watch these movies again.
