Oh man this comic dub is absolutely hilarious, I'm surprised they didn't do this in the actual game.

During this part of the story, he probably had a better parental relationship w/ the PTs than his own daughter.

[@adrianarballo179]

Sojiro Sakura, munehisa iwai, toranosuke yoshida, Takuto Maruki and Zenkichi Hasegawa. Seriously how many father figures do the Phantom thieves need?

[@shinesoul7472]

@@adrianarballo179 how many members are there? Lets see, Joker and Futaba get Sakura. Queen can have ‘Cop dad’. I imagine Fox gets Iwia. Goro/Crow gets Toransuke(thats the Sun right?). Skull can have that therpy guy(only know Vanilla and Side games). Mona has his ‘actual’ dad/Dads in the Velvet room. That leaves Ann and Haru for Dads to collect, so still need 2 more. Also Mishima needs his Dad figure(unless he has a Good Dad around). Add in all the Younger SocialLinks/Confidants in the ‘needs Dad’ box as well(No, Joker is a Brother Figure to most of them)

[@adrianarballo179]

@@shinesoul7472 I see your point. But now we need two more father figures for Ann and Haru. Well Haru has a mother figure: Mariko hyodo. So if we count her the only person in the thieves who needs a parent figure is Ann.

[@lukaslukas8083]

Here’s the thing… I’d be willing to bet that Ryuji said it genuinely

[@lachlanhancock5227]

Frankly, I can see that happening. Actually, I can see Zenkichi, at Akane’s persistence, dating a woman that turns out to be Ryuji’s Mom of all people. He’d be even invited over to the Sakamoto household for a dinner date, where he and Ryuji realised what’s happening.

[@Evilta]

Sojiro: First time adopting a bunch of punks?

[@gameslasher8097]

Well at least ryuji finally has a father figure

@@kitsunephantom6155 I know this comment is a year old, but people got Dad vibes from Maruki? Yoshida, Iwai and Sojiro, sure, I get that. Sojiro all but becomes Joker's Dad by Rank 10. Iwai calls you Kaoru's bro, and Yoshida is just pure sage advice giving and encouraging Dad/Grandpa energy, but Maruki? I just always saw him as a dork.

[@just_a_cabbage7756]

Considering the Phantom Thieves give the Three Houses cast a run for their money when it comes to daddy issues, I could totally see this hapening

[@WrBlPro]

That last panel is the biggest mood. Nice casting all in all.

[@RedVelvetVA]

As expected from one of my server dads, mhm mhm

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

Ya know, affectionate gaslighting is still gaslighting XD

[@peaceofyoshi]

[@blazearmada]

Everyone sounds SO great is this! You nailed the casting on this one, Red. It's awesome. And you as Futaba works shockingly well. That's a very different sort of voice for you, and it works really, really well. I know this was a present for Taso, but I'd love to see more Persona dubs in the future - everybody please show this video the love it deserves!

[@RedVelvetVA]

I now have a backup plan for when the Genshin hype dies then! Jk jk Thank you so much, Blaze!! Super happy it turned out so well 😆💕

[@raymondf2213]

Joker and the gremlin pulling a prank like this is definitely cannon in my book.

[@ryoumakoushiro7447]

This must be a prank, right? 01:26 Yep, called it. And of course it's those two!

[@shadominx3696]

Well, Ren IS the Trickster and Futaba is just a gremlin lol

[@miscielrossvillegas6307]

Morgana calling him dad would take the cake because itd look like a man arguing a cat for suspecting him as a parental figure 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joker and Futaba de..." Zenkichi; "Than I thought why not." Gang; 😐😐😐 Ryuji; "Say what now?" Zenkichi; "Sure, I fail with Akane. But I figured having seven older siblings and a pet talking cat would be something she need." Futaba; "Um... But we already have parents and other guardians." Zenkichi; "I know. I already talk to them and they agree. So..." *Pull out Adoption Paper with all their names* "You kids are mine now." 😈 Morgana; "Are you happy now you two?" Joker & Futaba; "Her/His plan!"

If this ain't canon, I swear!😂

[@oreganothankyou]

Gaslight a man into being your dad, I like it

[@BobThePenguin.]

Sojiro bouta throw hands with Zenkichi

[@Raccoon_Trash-]

To be fair, a lot of them are in need of a father figure, considering a majority of them don't have dads, aka Ryuji, Haru, Makoto, Yusuke, and Futaba, but she has Sojiro as a stand in so she doesn't count. You could also say Morgana but I don't think he needs one.

[@leohernandez8751]

Plus Joker and Ann are technically implied to have both a mom and dad, just we never see them on screen. Plus We know that Sumire has her father and implied her mother as well. Joker’s case isn’t the best example since his dad AND mom sent him off to Tokyo after his trial to a random stranger wouldn’t exactly make them a “good role model”. At least we know Ann’s parents are still on good terms with Ann herself, just that they travel often due to their line of work.

[@Honnojis]
