The stalker girl from P5 is more popular than the final fucking boss

I'm done

I love how Akechi’s personality in the third semester is the definition of “I hate all but one of you” but doesn’t specify who so everyone in the Phantom Thieves are spend the entire time guessing while Akechi represses the feeling to try and kill them all again

Naoto’s texting is hilarious when you remember they don’t have smart phones, so she’s just using as few buttons as possible

Im a Ken fan and I’m PROUD. Dude was in elementary school and pulled up and threw hands with DEATH. Some respect needs to be put on his name

What I love about Maruki is his moral grayness; he's a kind, goofy dork who genuinely wants the best for you. And to get what's best for you, he will lie to you, abuse your trust, stalk you, electrocute you & rip your Persona out of you, and emotionally blackmail you- and he'll do it all with a smile on his face because he really believes he's helping you. That's a really compelling and terrifying antagonist.

Thank you all for voting for Hatsune Miku. She got a respectable 63 votes in 40th place 💪

The most interesting thing about Adachi is that he not only is the antithesis to Yu Narukami and modern Persona, but the fact he also fits the theme of accepting yourself completely warts and all. Adachi knows exactly who he is. He's unashamedly himself and doesn't care. Even in Ultimax he owns up to who he is and wants to return quietly to jail. If Adachi didn't accept his ugly side he would've not awakened his Izanagi like Namatame did. It was an interesting spin on an accepting your true self. Because with characters like Kanji it's wholesome that he accepts his hidden side, with Adachi it's horrific. I completely agree that he's an incel. Before he did it out of boredom, the first 2 murders was because those girls didn't want him. And that's kinda terrifying to think about it. How self absorbed and entitled he is just because he worked hard he thinks the world owes him everything he wants. To some extent we can relate because many of us aren't talented and capitalism is unfair, but we must never become the Adachis that think the world owes us everything just because we weren't treated right. He weirdly kinda reminds me of Kaneshiro since they both had an unfair past then gained a cynical view of the world was a result. What a great character. Sometimes the memes ruin him for me and other days the memes make me love him more.

Also we need Akechi and Adachi to meet in a non-canon spin-off for meme potential

Hifumi Togo is legit the reason that I discovered shogi. I am now playing in the World Shogi Leagues for team Canada. So yeah, got a soft spot for her.

As someone who played Royal first and never got to play vanilla P5, Maruki becoming the antagonist of Royal was completely unexpected. He felt like any other confidant to me which goes to show how seemlessly Atlus wove him into the story.

The biggest thing that takes Adachi from a solid 7/10 character to a 11/10 is his route in P4AU. Getting in his head about how he really feels after the events of P4 and that kinda tearjerking ending where he finally realizes that bonds are something we can't live without and it's really not so bad having friends is really heartwarming.

Can we talk about how THE BOYS wrecked the top 10? We Persona fans may battle to death for our waifu, but at the end of the day we know the homies carry this series

I think Yu being higher than Joker is bc hes HILARIOUS in the anime and very endearing in Arena

Having Walter SMTIV and Jesse Pinkman onscreen at the same time during the 1 Vote reel is making me cackle

Okay but Naoto's messages make sense, since she's part of law enforcement wanting to get information across as fast and simple as possible makes more sense then typing a full message with using lowercase letters on a flip phone where you had to click a button at most 8 times to get a letter you wanted

I love Ryuji so much, for a variety of reasons. But playing Royal for the first time now, and he immediately marks himself as someone special in the prologue. He’s willing to die in Kamoshida’s Palace to buy Joker time to escape. He’s just…such a sweet boy. Nobody I’d rather have as my right hand man.

Maya Amano doing better than most modern persona girls brings me joy

"Nameless" needs more love. Poor dude is only seen in P1 playing the piano in the Velvet Room blind folded. Do you know how challenging it is to play the piano blindfolded!? That requires SO much skill and muscle memory!

Adachi honking his clown nose while saying "we live in a society" could pretty much sum up the whole list

I know it's a really minor thing but during Junpei's persona awakening he blasts away Jin with a fire attack and that's awesome because in Gameplay Jin Repels fire.
But that attack was so strong it caused a Gameplay and Story Segregation moment.
And I always thought that was very cool.

The fact Kashwagi got 2 votes is 25 more then I'd thought she'd get.
