Saves friends and gives them a way to escape, just narrowly escaping death himself...only to get beaten on for surviving. Bro does not deserve the shit he gets.
I fucking love Ryuji. He’s actually my favorite character in the game. Sorry girls. But you can’t beat Ryuji. Our relationship is something beyond romance.
Ok honestly for real? I've played P5 so many times and I never noticed that damage on Captain Kid's leg symboling Ryuji's injury. That is some good detail right there, and also for real Ryuji really is best bro. He takes a vorpal blade BY HIMSELF with no persona just to save Ren in P5R, dude is loyal and funny.
Cool thing I learned late in my playthrough: it's not animated, but Ryuji walks with an audible limp. If you go to the Thieves Den and transform into him, his walking soundclip is off-kilter. Everybody else's is even.
Honestly, how is it HIS fault that the explosion actually just kicked him out of the Palace instead of killing him? Those girls had no reason to beat up Ryuji like that. I mean, he just risked his life to save the whole Team. Gotta give him some credit there.
I’m also concerned how none of the boys tried to help out Ryuji in that situation. Not even Ren. I was just thinking “Guys, can’t you tell them to stop? Ren, you’re supposed to be the leader here, wtf?”
@@dragonman2168 I seriously hate that. Like I could get it if the girls were crying and hitting his chest (not in a hurtful way) saying “we thought you died” as way to show they’re being emotional but not actively hurting him like some anime do. But what they did to him was messed up
@@regulusking4299 Agreed. A good number of anime girls are just too stubborn to show how worried they can really be towards their allies, that their pride swallows them up and makes them behave as if they hardly care for their male allies, or even love interests. It is a real pain in the butt that is not funny. One Persona 5 crossover I'm writing is about the Phantom Thieves fighting against a whole harem of tsunderes, and restoring that other anime world to it's gender equal state.
According to Max from Cassandra's interview with him, he can't say the "F" word because he's a good boy. The part where he almost says the "F" word was cut off. Edit: Spoiler, he finally said it in Strikers!
@@slculvernonduality nah all that had happened was Morgana saying that Ryuji and Kanji might get along with each other because they’re both bottle blondes
@@gamerr4ge35 Japanese are very anti-Homosexual so i doubt that, not to say everyone hates gay people there but that's the overall social stigma there.
Let's hear it for our favorite characters: the best boys. They may be the punching bags and victims of physical slapstick and more perverted than they should be, but without them, there's no team.
Little known fun fact about Ryuji: He dyed his hair in middle school so that Ann wouldn't stand out, and kept it that way since. Call him dumb or perverted, but his heart is in the right place.
I have nothing but love for Ryuji, he is the type of friend that you would always want in your corner. His loyalty, his sense of humor, and fun personality always put a smile on my face which why I think he rightfully earned the title of best boy of Persona 5.
Ryuji has his flaws,like not being too bright,not knowing when to keep things to himself,etc.,but he is the first to rush into a fight and he would do anything for those he cares about.
I remember I had Ryuji at like rank 7 or something and everyone else at 2-3 around after kamoshida’s confession. I always seem to immediately love these types of characters, and my longtime best friend is actually a lot like this archetype. That’s probably the reason.
Ryuji's greatest moment of character moment and development came in Strikers, where finally hit the end of bis long character arc. And got to scream "Shut the FUCK up" at someone without self censoring. Honestly, astounded his Persona didn't instantly evolve Also, I ship him and Ann hardcore. The way they act,it really makes me wish at least once I had a "Mom, Dad, stop fighting." dialogue choice
Im gonna be so for real, im honestly a big fan of ryuji x ren so the Valentine’s short always makes me so happy since it’s probably the only official time well see them together romantically 😭
not to be lame but it boils my blood they beat him up after shidos palace. taking into account his past and the fact he *just saved everyone's lives* its kind of my least favourite scene :/
I kind of wish that the final dungeon in persona 5 royal wasn’t Dr. Maruki but Ryuji. If you look throughout the entire game, you’ll see so many times were people insulted him and basically just treated him like crap in general. Hell, even in combat he can’t even get a compliment without it coming off as backhanded. I kind of wished at one point he just stayed in his home for a while and the gang went to visit him and out of curiosity check to see if he has a dungeon and when they do, they find that the greatest enemy to Ryuji’s mind was themselves and how much they bullied him and how little they take into account as to what he’s done.
It would be the ultimate realization for the Phantom Thieves to see what Ryuji sees them as. Ann would see herself acting without a care for what others think about her behavior. Makoto would realize Ryuji sees her as this barbaric punisher and feel like she's turned into the executioner instead of the one who brings justice. Futaba would basically be like a snake in the grass, always preying for the backhanded remark. Yusuke would be seen as so eccentric that he barely listens to the words of others, which would make him realize he does get caught up in his own ideals a bit too much. Haru could very well be the most dangerous one because Ryuji thinks Haru will actually be the one to kill him just because she gets pissed off. Morgana would constantly be spouting insults towards the Phantom Thieves and preying on their insecurities without restraint. Joker would be the biggest mirror because he'd see himself getting praise and special treatment from his teammates that isn't replicated with Ryuji. Everyone would realize if Joker gets to be treated well, it's unfair if they don't do so for Ryuji. In the end, Ryuji as the final boss would make the Phantom Thieves realize, they're no morally righteous symbols of justice. They're humans with flaws and their mistakes almost cost them one of their own. Having that experience would change them all for the better.
His past with kamoshida is kamoshida did not like the track team, and he saw that ryuji was easily angered, so he made fun about his relationship with his family in front of the team which is why ryuji hit him
That scene at the end of Shido's palace pissed me off so much, I genuinely had a lesser opinion of the other phantom thieves after that. It wasnt funny, it ruined an emotional and really cool scene, and it only gets worse when you remember Ryuji is a victim of abuse I still havent forgiven Atlus for that scene, or any game that pulls a similar stunt, its dumb, unfunny, underplays serious moments and just makes your main cast look mean and uncaring. Ryuji deserved better
I feel like Ann is actually the first one to actually understand you. Sure, you meet Ryuji first, but until after Ann joins you, I feel like he's mostly just your friend because he sees you as a 'troublemaker' and nothing more, just like him. I'm not saying he's a bad friend, I just feel like Ann is a little more understanding
I legit thought it was going to be a whole video of Ryuji just saying "FOR REAL" for 7 minutes. Maybe you should do why is Goro Akechi redeemable psychopath material. Cause our boy goes hard royal!
Saves friends and gives them a way to escape, just narrowly escaping death himself...only to get beaten on for surviving. Bro does not deserve the shit he gets.
Yeah
Yeah
Agreed.
Agreed.
Shenpai got so pissed of with this moment lol
Ryuji when Ann calls him an idiot: For real
Ryuji when Morgana breathes: FOR REAL!
To be fair, it astonishes me that Morgana decides to breathe considering how useless he is.
@@re_pete he is the best healer i think
@@Pokeredi. my bad, I thought it was makoto.
Mona has best healing skills, but makoto is better overall
@@Pokeredi. no, a good healer tends to need to tank a hit, Morgana has no defensive ability, Makoto is more reliable sense she can actually tank a hit
Let’s be honest, he’s best boy
One of the best bros.
Nah
Yusuke is best boy
Best girl*
You casuals think the European is best boy? Nah chief Ryuji’s a real one.
Fun fact: Ryuji swore a total of 315 times in the entirety of Persona 5
For real?

That is some good detail right there, and also for real Ryuji really is best bro. He takes a vorpal blade BY HIMSELF with no persona just to save Ren in P5R, dude is loyal and funny.
I also noticed thay the guy on his chariot tarot card has a broken arm.
He is the kind of friend that when you're down will go to your house with a pizza, a PS5 and say "hey wanna hang out?"
Cool thing I learned late in my playthrough: it's not animated, but Ryuji walks with an audible limp. If you go to the Thieves Den and transform into him, his walking soundclip is off-kilter. Everybody else's is even.
Ryuji is actually the first confidant I maxed out because he was and always will be my favourite male persona 5 character
Honestly, how is it HIS fault that the explosion actually just kicked him out of the Palace instead of killing him? Those girls had no reason to beat up Ryuji like that. I mean, he just risked his life to save the whole Team. Gotta give him some credit there.
It's a common trope, the "oh god we were so scared we thought you were dead I'm gonna hit you for making me scared" one.
@@strangevol5264 And that is why I hate tsundere's and other anime girls who either jump the gun or try and kill the hero just for making them worry.

He's like a best friend and ally to Ren.
My boy came in clutch with that run for the boat
He’s a bonehead, but he’s our bonehead.
Ryuji is best boy and waifu of the game, end of the discussion
Ryuji is too precious for this world.
Must PROTECT.
0:04 "I'll just stick with Sakamoto"
"Akechi is Pancake material" when?
Ryuji fills the same roll as Yosuke(P4) being that he is the comedic relief
If be friends with Ryuji, he’s my favorite character besides Joker.
"Another waifu hunted."
-Waifu hunter
Ryuji and kanji are the best friends you could ask for. They deserve better
Ryuji has his flaws,like not being too bright,not knowing when to keep things to himself,etc.,but he is the first to rush into a fight and he would do anything for those he cares about.
I “For Real” thought Ryuji would be comic relief material or at least Food Stamp Material.
There are stamps you can trade for food!? Why did nobody tell me this!?
@@MrFox-wb1vj 😂
Aw man you didn't mention how much of a momma's boy Ryuji is
Yeah I'd chill with Ryuji seems like a fun time

I always seem to immediately love these types of characters, and my longtime best friend is actually a lot like this archetype. That’s probably the reason.
I wanted him to be romanceable so bad because I love him so much ;n;
Ryuji as a best friend is like a school you only learn the neccesary stuff in, sadly won't happen, even tho it would be beautiful
This dude is best boy and you can't say otherwise because then you're wrong and you know it.
Ryuji for life.
Ryuji's greatest moment of character moment and development came in Strikers, where finally hit the end of bis long character arc.
And got to scream "Shut the FUCK up" at someone without self censoring.

Also, I ship him and Ann hardcore. The way they act,it really makes me wish at least once I had a "Mom, Dad, stop fighting." dialogue choice

not to be lame but it boils my blood they beat him up after shidos palace. taking into account his past and the fact he *just saved everyone's lives* its kind of my least favourite scene :/
Ryuji is more brainwashed than a cult member, he can't tell friend from foe!
Is it me or does Larry Butz from Ace Attorney look like the adult version of Ryuji?
It is so WRONG that Ryuji and the protag did not get a showtime attack. They are best friends.
