It's just Dism.
I play the game, you watch, discuss, yada yada.
I post clips and gameplay sessions of mine and talk very little. Mostly I play Persona, with a little SMT and Fire Emblem every now and then, So clearly I'm a jrpg kinda guy.
I have no upload schedule. My uploads can vary from a video a day to a video a week, but when a new Persona game is released you can expect something everyday, probably.
For those who don't understand it, ill try to explain as best as I can
in the scene before this one, kanji asks naoto to stop calling him "kanji-kun" and to just call him kanji. in Japan, dropping the part after a name usually implies a very close relationship, either best friends, or intimate. essentially, kanji was asking naoto if he could be her boyfriend, from what I could tell, he only did all of this because he thought he was in a dream and anything he did wouldn't carry to the real world.
lo and behold, he finds out he's not in a dream, and realizes that everyone he's encountered so far is real, including naoto. he basically asked naoto out in real life without knowing it, hence his embarrassment
hope this explains it. feel free to correct me on anything you think is wrong
This joke was actually kind of mistranslated due to the way the honorifics were translated into the English version. In the Japanese version, the joke actually carries a very different meaning due to the way characters refer to each other in the Japanese version.
In the Japanese version, the characters are much more likely to refer to each other by last name basis-san/kun/etc unless they are particularly close (Yu/Yosuke, Yu/Rise, Chie/Yukiko, and Yukari/Mitsuru are particular examples of first-name basis dynamics in the games). Naoto in particular, due to her professional personality, has an extremely professional manner of speaking, and she uses last name basis with EVERYONE in Japanese. Even her friends she's close with, she refers to her senpai as Narukami-senpai, Hanamura-senpai, Satonaka-senpai, and Amagi-senpai, she refers to Rise as Kujikawa-san, and she refers to Kanji as Tatsumi-kun. Everyone except Teddie gets last name basis from Naoto.
What Kanji wanted to do in the Japanese version was for Naoto to switch from last name basis to first name basis, ie go from Tatsumi-kun to Kanji-kun. Why? Because no one else in the IT ever uses last name basis with him: Yu, Yosuke, and Teddie don't even use honorifics with him, Chie and Yukiko find him endearing and call him Kanji-kun, and Rise loves to piss him off and call him Kanji even without an honorific. Kanji wanted Naoto to refer to him in a more casual manner so that it could feel like they were friends like he did with everyone else, and not make Naoto sound so, well, distant.
Unfortunately, Naoto NEVER uses first-name basis with anyone, so the *idea* of first name basis made her extremely uncomfortable, because such loose mannerism of speaking is outside of her own rhetoric. That's why she was so flustered. Kanji didn't consider this, and that's why her reaction ultimately shocked him the way it did.
Sorry this was long (don't worry, only took my like 2 minutes haha), but this joke is actually quite complicated and very different in the original
ScraftyIsTheBest don't worry about the length lol. but I had no idea the joke was so different in Japanese. tho i do wanna see how kanji reacts at the very end in Japanese, lol.
i actually don't mind the translation of the joke in the English version. although the premise of the joke is completely different, it's still a pretty funny joke that I think fits kanji to a tee.
@@cosmicpoptart3699 Probably with a very high-pitched Japanese scream unintelligible to those of us on this side of the ocean.
Shiina Mayuri well I saw a few comments on the last video as well as this one not knowing the joke, so I thought this would help
Thanks so much. I was just about to look for the context.

Wait a minute...
I'm the one who taught you this lmao
The Japanese version had Naoto switch from calling him "Tatsumi-kun" to "Kanji-kun". First name basis is only used for family or people who are VERY close to each other.
Thanks, now the formality part makes sense since Kanji-kun isn't too different from just Kanji.
You don't really get that impression as a foreigner due to most popular shounen having characters that call one another by their first name without making it a big deal in both English and Japanese.
I just call people whatever lol
There's Atleast 3 people I call "my language's equivalent to onee-san" despite me being older than them.
One person I forever call as their last name despite being close with cause it sounds better lol.
I also rarely call people "my languages version of onii-san" even if they're like 6 years older than me. Unless it's looks like it's appropriate to call them that.
Changing how you call someone's name is hard af.
Naoto finally knows Kanji better as in the main game, they never Interacted a lot. So its maybe the same as treating him as a very close friend instead of being a couple? IDK, I dont know much japanese. But atlus seldomly pairs characters canonically as at the end of the day, its a JRPG and a Social sim
The way she said his name made my heart melt. Naoto is true waifu.
they are a otp
Ah yes, a fellow man of culture..
Yesssssss. In Persona 4 that is, my best girl is Futaba
@@necrozma4029 bruh
@@ranger5839 Hey you can't blame me, Futaba's so adorable
I love how Mitsuru disregards the fact that Kanji still thinks this is a dream.
Mitsuru to Akihiko: "Don't say anything about a dream, it's gonna be really funny"
Or Mitsuru probably will say smth like this:
Mitsuru: **chuckle** "This is something that Akihiko in our high school days would probably say and do…" **laughs quietly**
To be fair, unlike the older members of the team whom used the usual Junes TV to enter after the P1 Arena stream, Kanji was in his room and fall asleep, causing him to accidentally trip over and enter through his room TV. Rise and Teddie were captured first due to their detection abilities and Naoto follows the Shadow Operatives.
In the canon route (this video here shows a "joke" ending), Mitsuru says something along the lines of: "To think that we were saved by someone who had so little understanding of the situation" with a kind smile. That was funny.
She dealt with Junpei this is not really the weirdest thing she heard from people
“This is not a dream we’re inside the tv” words that only make sense in this game
*so he basically asked Naoto out and didn't think he actually did it*
yeap because he thought it was a dream the whole time. however, this is non canon since this is a joke ending for Kanji
@@player2-lightwater914true kinda? The 'canon' paths in Arena are confusing because most of them can't be including Kanji's non gag ending. I basically just pick what scenes I like best and go from there. Yu's is probably the most accurate
He didn't just for her to say his name
@@player2-lightwater914I dunno man. So uhh, even though I didn't realize, Kanji has a Bullet Necklace, in the Epilogue.... You can see that Naoto has it. So MAYBE!
God I want this romance to be canon.
Kanji stop staring at Akihiko's hands!
It just makes your whole situation with the fanbase *worse* ... XD
Did someone said... CRACK SHIPS?!!
*cracks Knuckles* oops
Nope, makes it better. Keep looking Kanji
Kanji is such a great guy, that he won't make a promise he can't keep even when he's dreaming
Man even teddie is pissed, just how hard does kanji even hit to make everyone so angry?
Well he destroyed an entire biker gang alone. He is easily on the level of Akihiko without proteins. Coincidence that both of them are Emperor Arcana xD
Mark21061 Indeed. As another member of the emperor arcana, I happen to be quite well endowed with strength myself, despite lacking the coinciding imposing appearance.
Akihiko: strong meat boi
Kanji: strong man boi
Yusuke: scrawny art boi
@@presidentofidiots520 yusukes' love for art (lobsters) is his true strength
Makes me remember the Chie joke ending where everyone is super pissed at her because she chased after meat instead of saving Labrys
Kanji’s story was hilarious. He just plows through everyone thinking it’s a dream.
2:33 Did. . . did Rise hit him with a Microphone? XD
I love Kanji, so underrated.
Kanji canonically went on a roidrage thinking it was all a dream

This didn't happen

It's not that it's not manly, he just already knows it's not real, so he doesn't want to make that promise. It's not manly to make a promise he can't keep, especially since he's just dreaming.
Or at least, that's what he thinks it is

I love how they even use "Like a Dream Come True" for the BGM of the special art.
NOOOOO!!!! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!!!....
well, kanji sir. thats not how this work xD beside you like it anyway.
I love Chie's face right there. I feel like she's just thinkin: "ya know what? worth, 10000%."
I love the sweetness when Naoto calls him by his name. It so clear that she has feelings for him that she just doesnt quite understand
stop
stop it
you're gonna make me ship them
@Naienis you should. They are so sweet together. Kanjis a pretty abrasive guy but he can be really soft and sweet for Naoto. Naoto doesn't seem to quite get why but she's drawn to him
I wonder what kanji’s life could’ve been like if Naoto called him by just his name
goddamn he'll be in a constant state of bliss
_a m b a t u k a m_
Im kinda sad this isnt the canon ending, or atleast part of it. Id love for it to be canon kanji went around on a delusional rampage while yu and the rest of the team were actually trying to solve the problem.
If it makes you feel any better, it’s implied this is kind of what happens in other routes as well. He’s even the final boss of Teddie’s route instead of hacked Labrys or the doppelgängers.
That’s more or less what happens in Ultimax, the game seems to mostly follow Yu, Youske, and Aiges route but Kanji still thought he was sleeping lol
Kanji accidentally saving the day is amazing and I love it
Rise hits Kanji
*Achievement Unlocked*
So basically he beats up his friends because he thinks he’s asleep
The reason is because the tv world is basically making them hallucinate the whole time. The characters will speak to the real person but are tricked into hearing them either digging at their personal issues or agitating them in some way to encourage them to fight. They are actually fighting but the words that lead them to do it are just the world messing with their heads. Kanji also assumes this is all a dream because he was half asleep when he fell into the tv, so he already thinks none of it is real and the world is messing with him further. This is also shown in his fight with Naoto, he points out that at this time she's not even in Inaba, so he can't possibly assume it's actually her.
@@shwahgamer I played through the game but I still think it’s hilarious
Kanji, my man, I got only but complete and sincere admiration for you!!!
Love this guy!!

And soon enough, Kanji’s bullet necklace appears on Naoto.
I've seen some people bringing this as a validation for Kanji x Naoto being a canon, but Naoto's necklace has nothing to do with Kanji's, even the size and color are different. Ouch. Also, I always thought that Kanji's crush on Naoto was made for a comic relief purpose, so I never saw it being something serious.
I still like my boi Kanji tho, it's just the Pimp King who gets all the girls so nothing personal lol
@@tiamochan just let them have fun shipping
It’s more of a wheel necklace, not a bullet necklace.
Also, Koi, that comment was saying it’s canon when it’s not
@@oaf6146 It's just a weird shipping because it's so one-sided lol, Naoto doesn't seem too fond of Kanji (but again, she doesn't seem too fond of anyone lol)

@@raspberrylemonade8661 no need to reply to everyones comment trying to force them to have the same opinion as u
@@lala_44427 these comments are old, I do not care anymore, there was no need to reply to my comments from months ago. I was never trying to force opinions on people. I’m tired of people saying “make it cannon” when it can’t for obvious reasons. Some people are annoying about it. So, I stand by the fact that there was no need to reply to my comments
Kanji: I won… but at what cost?
Yeah I can’t ever go Naoto, Kanji needs her more than Yu
HOW HARD DOES THIS MAN HIT TO PISS THEM ALL OFF
Have you looked at him??? Bro ain't called the Beefcake Emperor for nothing
*WAKE UP GET OUT GET OUT THERE*
Kanji:
Se-senpai!
My favorite himbo can't be this cute (and dense)
Kira and Kanji has the same interest in duwang
Adorable. Just adorable.
And this is why if I were to ever give P4 a try (kinda waiting/hoping for a switch release so I can play on the go) I'd probably wouldn't go for Naoto despite being seen as the best girl in most eyes because I like the idea of her and Kanji together. I couldn't cockblock such a cool dude... Plus there's always Chie
It's sadly digital only on Switch and other platforms, but definitely worth your time.
So uh... you just got your wish. Digital only rn, but it's still come to Switch. Get to it!
You're definitely into tomboys, huh?
I feel the same way. Also because I think her romance Social link is kind of weird.
Plus I like Naoto and Kanji as a ship
4:34
Kanji: I have won, but at what cost?
The fact that Mitsuru, Aigis, and Akihiko just witnessed all of that and didn't say a word is hilarious to me
Tfw Kanji goes and beats everyone’s ass and doesn’t pull any punches then he finds out it wasn’t a dream... shit makes me really wise I had p4a and au these stories are some of the funniest of all persona
Kanji... you beautiful bastard.
Troy baker as kanji just felt natural. Not one line felt forced its like casual conversation.
Yeah, it was awkward.
Kanji still the best character of p4 for me, he's a real fucking goat 🐐 (literally a goat).
naoto is his kryptonite
Poor Kanji
Ya know this adorable ending alone is almost worth buying this game for... Problem is, I haven't played Persona 3 yet so I can't.
Top ten would recommend
OMG!! I cant stop lathing. Kanji.is hilarious
Damn, kanji got best waifu
just fucking date already
Yo I've been looking for this on your channel for two months lol
i saw the first part and nothing else. i was like "hol up"
Then it just ends there. Brilliant 😆
Yu, who's dating Naoto in my P4: "Kanji, we went through a lot together...So I'll give you a 10 second head start."
Considering this a 15 y/o that Beats entire biker gangs before even unlocking his persona, and has the highest strenght and endurance stat in the tv murder investigation team he probably hits like a car crash.
Kanji best boi

Like a dream come true from Persona 4.

I'm kinda glad I never developed a strong waifu attachment to Naoto. It makes shipping Kanji with her easy.
Yeah I didn’t pick her cause I’d feel kinda bad for doing my boy Kanji dirty like that.... it’s fun doing that to Morgana when you pick Ann in 5, but I’d feel bad picking Naoto even though she’s pretty top tier.
@@TheBrutalSax they're all great. I specifically zoned in on Yukiko. I know she the bland one but there's something about her that just clicked with me.
Biecie Jack honestly shes not a bad pick. I picked Rise in my golden run on PC cause she reminded me of FF7R’s Jessie, and pretty much won me by replacing Teddie as the battle announcer cause he made me wanna mute my TV anytime I go to TV world, I felt really bad when I rejected yukiko, she didn’t take it very well. Especially cause I did say yes at first to see what her romance was like and then rerolled the save file.
Waifu attachment xD
I could never cuck Kanji.
Kanji x Naoto the only like acceptable ship in P4 fandom cause other wise we are still on debate (but all of the guys and girls are besto waifu including yosuke, kanji and teddie...chad is chad)
Bruh just let Naoto be alone man, the only love she has is for that sweet sweet detective work
Definitely, Yu only loves his friends as friends (and maybe REALLY loves Yosuke)
3:48 she sounds pissed
In a nutshell: OOOOOH SHEEEEEEET!
"And the top, huh...?"
"I like the sound of that"

You have so many waifus. What about me?
I agree.
Yeah, Yu helps Naoto catch the phantom thieves... I mean the phantom thief
probably sucks to be a kanji fan since this aint canon but you kanji fans probably still had fun with the fact that this ending still exists in the first place
He took back the fact he wanted to ask her out, therefore they aren’t together or dating.
Edit: I made comments like a year ago, yeah this is what happened a when you share an account with someone. Ship what you want, but stop saying that a character belongs to another character. Let them be, Jesus
it's odd cos yukiko has a slight accent
The reason you don't date Naoto is because she and Kanji go together.
