That's a bike..?
Nah...
That's a *WIFE*
@Lost Soul We all know She is riding Joker if you know what I mean. 😉😉😉😉😏😏😏😏😏😏
Ngl I was thinking of going for someone like Futaba or Takemi but after I saw her awakening... How should I say it...
I got an erection.
I just love how prim and proper Johanna is.
All other Persona's are like, "Look at the mess you're in! Let's shake things up and go crazy on our enemies!" But Johanna is all, "Would you like to proceed with the contract? Right this way, please."
Just because we're going to kick monkey ass doesn't mean we have to be rude about it.
It makes sense for Makoto.
Makoto: "Please step this way, fill out this form, and I'll SMASH YOUR FACE IN!!"
She's french, and a Pope. I mean even Arsene and Milady are formal to a point in their speech
@@firepuppies4086 In the way they speak, sure. But I meant more in the substance of their words. Even Milady is like, "Are you ready to get REVENGE?!"
Has anyone else noticed that in the awakenings only makoto can stand her ground everyone else falls to the ground unless held up to the wall
Ikr. She literally crack the floor just with a stomp and keep herself standing.
@@kbreezy2025 I was going to mention Yusuke, but he fell to the ground and clawed the floor until his fingertips began to bleed before summoning Goemon
@@fierytigergaming8112 He stands up again, and very collectedly rips his mask off - his awakening along with Joker's is my favourite.
Really appreciating the delivery of that Ryuji line the more I hear it.
He has a great VA!
She calls to the Persona BEFORE the awakening. Only Joker does that otherwise if memory serves. :)
Joker doesn't even call out to his Persona like she does - he more just answers it.
I'm pretty sure all of the Awakenings have something unique about them. Joker's is an anime cutscene instead of 3D, Ryuji seems to be in the most pain during it, Ann seems to use a bit of her Persona's power to break her chains before unmasking (note the blue flame effect on her arms when the chains break), and Yusuke seems to sustain the most physical damage for just the unmasking sequence (his fingernails digging into the ground hard enough to shed blood).
@@robloxcool88 don't forget how the way futaba gets her persona is almost akin to p4, and haru... well, she's already in her noir outfit which kinda ironically makes her "awakening" a lil less badass since her clothes don't change
In a way, Haru was similar to Joker since she had the power beforehand but never had control (Full) of it
@@fierytigergaming8112 ikkk but ugh they showed like a moment where morgana and haru were running around okumura's palace like y couldn't they show her getting her metaverse outfit
i know people make fun of ryuji in this scene but admit it. you had the same reaction first time seeing this
To quote my WhatsApp with my friend that played it before me:
“bro, she got a bike”
“wdym?”
“Persona 5”
“ya that’s a bike”
In my mind Johanna expressed how fed up she was of Makoto acting acordingly/proper until that point.
it's kind of representative of how acting within the rules only gets you so far. when dealing with corrupt or malicious people playing by their rules only gets you so far and in the end that's why rebellion is needed.
In the mythology, Johanna was the first and only female Pope, but historians disproved her existence.
Johanna basically represents how makoto was tired of acting only by how the adults tell her. Just how Johanna made her own road to become pope, she would use the bike to go through the damn road she wanted, non-stopping, free, at full speed.
"A persona?"
"No dude, its a bike"
The line that always gets me is, "Please... Never lose sight of it again."
Also, Makoto being so accepting of her Persona Contract always led me to believe that Johanna was always just below the surface, revving her engine in anticipation for this moment, for Makoto to finally say, "I've had enough!"
The moment she unlocked her persona, she became my waifu and my most used party members.
Yeah, she can be Tank, DPS and Healer all by herself, not to mention that thanks to her i defeated Akechi in my first try not knowing what the heck i was doing.
@@eliasacevedo5711 She's not a tank. But she's a great healer/DPS with access to Masakunda which is a no brainer to keep.
“Don’t get all cocky just because I normally behave myself. I am *DONE* playing nice!”
That line gives me chills, it’s delivered so well.
Her VO delivers a ton of amazing lines like that I have to agree.
Everyone: OH MA GAWD ITS A BAIK!!!
Chronos: Notice how they don't show the blood when the girls rip their masks off?
You can actually see the blood with Makoto's for a split second, just before the quick zoom out.
notice how they are all screaming in pain when they awaken and then theirs futaba.
"Shut your damn mouth, you money-grubbing asshole!"
That was the best pre-Awakening line - not just because it was an insult, but because Makoto had enough of people treating her like a doormat, even the other Phantom Thieves were shocked that someone as normally composed as her snapped like that. Props to the writers. 🙏🏽
The persona awakenings are almost always amazing to watch, especially the reactions of everyone :D
At the time: YES, Now she can't report us!
5 minutes later: Oh yeah, Kaneshiro has the pictures.... DAMMIT!
The major reason why this was so impactful for me is (to my knowledge) there has never been another Persona or demon-like this in any other SMT or Atlus game. They really took what a Persona could be to a new level.
Really? Do you know how big satanael is? He materialized in the earth with minimum power
@@giwrgosmpartsiwkas9292 A giant demon wasn't really that new, Masakado did it first in SMT IV
I kinda wish Makoto had kept this domme personality that she had during her first awakening.
It's cute how she shifts back to her normal personality later and gets embarrassed by the biker outfit too though.
yeah, when she mentions that it's important for them to pass the exams and she won't be there for them otherwise - I mean, when I was a captain I was slightly more lenient at times
That's called adrenaline. She's full of new found power and it's a fucking rush. Wouldn't you be getting caught up in the moment too if you were in her shoes?
@@dawn6751 actually, that goes for alot of the characters... they seem to be different people when their fighting and using they're personas than they are normally. I wonder if that's intentional?
@@michaeledmunds7266 Well, in this game, they all basically put on a facade to blend in the real world. While within their battles in the Metaverse, they show their true personality.
@@axceljulio5747 I like too think the true version is a mix of how they act in both worlds...
Joker had the coldest Persona awakening but man Makoto is really really up there with him
The most badass awakening in the game.
Sakura Haruno Don’t be a biased person makotos kinda sucked honestly unlike the others she didn’t struggled much
She's tired of being ridden. Now she gets to do the riding. :P
In her bad ending (if you fail this palace), she would've been doing a different kind of riding... it's pretty fucking dark.
@Da1337Man Luckily that ending never actually happened and it was Joker just remembering things wrong. I wish Sae had a bit more reaction to hearing that though.
@@timemaster1016 But why would she? She knows when Joker got arrested along with other key events such as Kanoshiro's arrest.
Goes from a obiediant student council president to a badass on a motorcycle
I also like how immediately after she joins the team she becomes the de facto and undisputed second in command of the entire team due to her being the best planner and strategist on the team. Though it probably also helps that she can scare the crap out of Ryuji or the others if they start to make her mad.
* shadow * I just fixed that floor last month
I love how before summoning her persona make makoto is a lot more like cherami leigh's typical characters and then she freaking snaps. The dichotomy is so cool.
There’s a reason she’s the most popular romance choice.
I romanced here in my first playthrough and it was awkward. I am more comfortable with Haru.
y’all use Makoto cause she’s useful? I use her cause i’m a simp
Understandable, she's my favorite too. But she's kind of a jack-of-all-trades. What you user her as totally depends on your playstyle. For me, she's generally a backup healer to Morgana or my primary one if I want to focus on defense a bit more in a certain situation. Either way, very good party member would totally recommend.
Then Pez proceeds to completely screw up Makoto’s first boss battle a few times
It was in this moment I realized I found one of my permanent party members.
Makoto def has the most badass awakening scene
I was dead set on romancing Takemi, but then this scene happened and I started to seriously reconsider that decision
Dude same and in the end i decided to go valentine with makoto and get chocolate slap by takemi
Me: So what kind of cool design did you get Johanna
Johanna: Yes
and then there's Agnes, which has reverted to a similar style of Johanna
She, Ryuji and Ann were my party members until the end.
Well they're kind of 3 most useful. DPS/Tank, Mage, and All Rounder/Healer. Everyone else does what they do with weaker stats. You can use Mona but all you get is a better lucky punch and salvation...two things you don't need. Yusuke just has cool physical skills but he still doesn't hit as hard as Ryuji. Once Ryuji gets God Hand and Agnestrya why use sword boy. Haru is the only other useful party member and that's simply due to access to Heat Riser
I did the same. I covered my buffs and debuffs that I thought I needed, plus a healer and charges and concentrations.
Please include the bit where ann falls asleep on jokers couch and morgana friggin goes for a look
Morgana: I never seen anything like it!
Me: ... =/ Dude, I just saw you transform into a van and do donuts on a bunch of high pixies 5 minutes ago
Cant decide between this awakening and Yusuke's. Yusuke getting his heart absolutely destroyed by his adoptive father, only to snap and deliver a beautiful speech is so awesome, but Makoto here just goes from goodie goodie to total badass.
Ok Makoto has became my new waifu sorry Ann at least your my second favorite girl
Kagato's reaction with that gif there was priceless
The “Gun it” scream tho
Just my own thoughts on the blood thing I think after showing it off the first couple of times they started to dial it down so you could see the more epic transformations, such as fox or queens in Particular, rather then the same gruesome blood ripping off. Just more time for the epic stuff in the animation
As evident from the fact they also took out the adrenaline grins - as if to say "This power...all mine, time for payback!" (Lol, I used the "You'd better not run away" response)
Makoto: "Revise for the exam, or I'll SMASH YOUR FACE IN!!"
Not gonna lie, seeing Makoto being all dominant, strong, and independent is a huge turn on for me. My kind of women are strong willed warriors with loving, caring, and loyal hearts toward those precious to them after all.
Bless you for having a respectable and mutual preference.
I like girls like Mitsuru and Makoto. The latter especially because she's a Martial Artist like me. 😁
I have a liking for what you'd call "Athena" women. Those that are strong and resolute, but also have a sense of refinement and integrity.
With all the people jumping ship from Makoto Niijima to Kasumi Yoshizawa, I'm proud to say that I'm here to stand by our beloved Queen.
Kamen Rider 1 I was thinking about going kasumi but then I started playing P5R and I started remembering all the things that made me fall in love with her
One of my favorite Awakenings in P5
I hate you akechi, but I love you, but I really hate you, but I cant hate you cause I love you
I always thought that her awakening was the most badass. Also makoto best girl
And people wonder why Makoto is obviously best girl
It’s funny that even without Johanna, Makoto already had a driving license, both for bike and car license.
My reaction:
"MAN, IT'S A BIKE. IT'S A BIKE, MAN."
A Persona-cycle! How many people actually said that at that moment?
I’ve only just realized how Makoto says “Yes. Come to me!”
People before awakening:
She a bitch [add any other negative things]
People during/after awakening:
She a badass.
“Is she roid raging?!”
Oof, one letter off
I had the same reaction at 10:00
Did Shenpai not get that Makoto was continuously put in situations of abuse basically, not only by the principal but also by her own sister? And her father and mom both are clearly dead...yeah, that's a reason to not like her. =/
no shenpai first play of persona 5 was back when she fully didn't realize she was bi and in her replay in p5r, she fully admitted that her dislike of makoto was more on not being open on her sexuality and not on makoto herself as in shenpai royal she admitted makoto took haru spot as best girl.
7:40 They do show blood for the girls and Yusuke but it’s more of a “blink and you’ll miss it” type of thing
When Yusuke mentioned Ryuji's persona being on a boat, I was thinking "Actually, it's on a cloud" (I had Ryuji's second awakening at that point)
"It's like Morgana but better!"
Futaba "Literally-Morgana-But-Better" Sakura appears.
I have to disagree there. I prefer Morgana as my healer. He learns more powerful healing skills earlier while Makotto overall is one hell of a late bloomer. In apriciate here nuclear attacks since I like exploiding wreakspots but that aside she is really underwhelming in the mid game. She has here moments but Morgana is awsome from the second battle in the game all the way to the twins.
@@sofaris576 yeah, but as the Navigator Futaba is just better.
Mona is our sweet main healer :3 Queen is just a backup healer, as well as a physical and nuclear user, like how Panther also has backup healing!
@@dragonblood800 Well I certantly apriciate Queens groupe defence buff. That one is pretty awsome but I have to say here physical attacks are rather forgetable. They do so little damge.
@@sofaris576 I havent played the game in a minute so I cant really remember what all her physical attacks are, but I just remembered her having them lol
It was this video that made me an extreme fan of the Bittersweet Gamers, and how they point on the little, more overlooked details that make games like this such wonderfully told stories
Ryuji perfectly represented my reaction
I love Kaneshiro and the Phantom Thieves reaction to her calling him a money grubbing asshole. They're all like where the hell did this badass come from.
Right after the bittersweet gamers say "walk up right in his face" I never fail to say bitch slap him
When i got to this part, i played You Say Run from My Hero Academia on my phone during the following battle with Makoto. Her character arc up to and including her awakening is incredible!
And that is why we call her THE QUEEN!
This is when everyone falls in love with makoto XD
10:01 cracked me up with how appropriate a reaction it is
Jay's reaction always makes me so happy
Not going to lie, since it’s 2019 right now, I sort of wished that Makoto used her persona the same way Dante used Cavaliere in Devil May Cry 5. Oh well.
She might be able to do that in P5: The Royal. 😂
Also Cavaliere is probably my favorite new weapon in the game.
Cavaliere was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it for the first time. 🗿
Makoto in Sae's palace: respect the drip, Sae.
I love the pause when she goes RIGHT JOHANNA?? like she didn't even know the name until that point
_BIKESONA!!_
I broke the floor.. A-am I supposed to pay for it..?
I LOVE her. Fell in love with her almost at first sight.
And after Royal... nothing has changed.
SO NOBODY'S GONNA MAKE THE GHOST RIDER REFERENCE!?
Joker and Makoto were the only ones who didn't fall or kneel in their awakening. That's how you know they're baes and are made for each other. After Ryuji and Makoto awakened they never left my party.
my brother :"is Ann in your party?"
Me: "who's Ann?"
I knew i recognized that voice! That's Lucy Heartfilia! When she said "I will not lose (heart) again", it clicked.
Best girl right here and the same can be said after playing royal as well.
Kagato's reaction is best by far.
I can't wait to see their reactions to Futaba's Persona XD
ah yes, Cthulhu - DAMN IT, WHY DOES EVERY GAME HAVE A REFERENCE TO IT?!
I had disappointment, actually.
I was really hoping for her to be playable.
Hands down the best awakening for the best girl.
She’s didn’t even stutter on agreeing to the contract
One of my favorite awakenings next to Joker’s awakening
makoto has the BEST opening be honest that bike is sick
probably the best awakening in the game
Anyone else think she looks like Izanagi with her mask on? The eyes and mask look very similar I think
She is top tier waifu. The best part? she rides on a cool bike like a badass. :3
Female empowerment is BAD ASS when written well . More characters like this in games please!!
While P5 Awakenings are cool I’d rather shoot myself or crush my Pokémon Cards to summon a Persona
Funny how things go with Persona Summoning:
Persona 3: Shoot yourself
Feedback: Too much!
Persona 4: Crush Cards
Feedback: Too soft!
Persona 5: Rip part of your freaking face off.
Feedback: Nani?!
Revelations: DEMON SUMMONING WITH FREINDS!
2 IS/EP: Uhm... they kinda were given tonis because somebody was pissy
A Persona as a bike ...
A BIKESONA
Chronos they don't show the blood on the girls
Me: but they do
Is there any chance of seeing everyone's reaction to the fireworks festival aka what happens when they take shelter from the rain?
She never left my party after this.
Why would she. She's objectively the best party member. Jack of all trades but actually useful
Monty2289
Right you are.
GarrettTheFerret
That could be really nice.
??? Morgana is way better medium heals for everyone and i mostly have everything makoto has and yusukes normal weapon is amazing and most of my main person damage comes from yusuke and Ryuji
Frozen Ice
Well,I normally shift Morgana and Yusuke with Ann and Ryuji as my other two party members from time to time.
