Pro life tip, if someone you know was arrested by police and you are afraid it might spell trouble for you, erase everything you can on your end, starting by messages on apps like Telegram. Imagine the police receiving those texts! It would have made rounding them all up so easy, Yoshida even called Joker his ally! It's heartwarming to know that they care about him(us) but it always struck me as stupid. Don't make their lives any easier, don't make small talk in person if they call you up, much less send texts to a phone that might be in their hands. At least Takemi and others were indirect, just asking unrelated questions.

To sae

[@nerysstuart4210]

There are twenty-three confidants in P5R. Seven of them are Phantom Thieves, who, plus two others, are in on the plan. (9 total) Nine of them check in via text, and one in person. (19 total) Two of them are otherworldly beings in the Velvet Room with no need to check-in. (21 total) One is Akechi. I doubt I need to elaborate on that. That leaves Maruki as the sole confidant who neither checks in nor has an excuse not to. Even with [3rd Semester Spoilers], I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't have known or cared about the news...

[@Michael-hc2hp]

It really bothers me that Maruki doesn't send as much as a message Joker's way. Like Maruki's Rank 10 is automatic as soon as you have him at Rank 9, and it's on November 18th. You'd think Maruki would have a bit more of a reaction considering that he said that wouldn't be the last time they see each other. He saw Joker and definitively learned about him being a Phantom Thief literally 2 days before Joker's supposed death, yet he just doesn't even bother to check in to see if someone who he had a bond with is still alive

[@buddercat45]

​@Michael there is likely a reason, maruki could have [redacted cause of spoilers] and failed due to joker being alive

[@radiotomatosauce99]

I can't read this comment in anything but Robbie Daymond's Akechi voice

[@payayaa]

i LOVE this part of the game. It really sells you on that the PT have failed on their goal. With all falling apart in the end, the characters appearing confused and lost and even the choice in music its just... it hits even harder the more hours you put into the game.

[@akai3974]

I played the base game I really thought he died and this was before the reveal of the plan they had it was a complete plot twist

[@Oscarin9910]

[@jcplays5831]

To say my heart dropped the first time Akechi killed Joker would be an understatement. I thought I screwed up or something. Needless to say thank god I didn’t tell Sae the truth about the teammates

[@zackarycarr8457]

I romanced Haru on my 1st play though, specifically before Sae's boss fight (I don't think that's intended). I felt so bad for Haru because she was with her rapey fiance while hearing the news of the person she loves commit suicide.

[@Zachattack-nu7lr]

So glad to see you're back! I haven't been this happy since I learned that Black Mask Akechi was going to be playable in Royal!

[@joshleblanc1]

I was streaming this to a friend of mine, and the moment Ryuji went 'We gott'em!' I fucking SCREAMED and my friend was shouting out. I've never been so excited before. We both were wondering if something went wrong and I lost.

[@fresherzzz9240]

What I don’t understand is that the MC is revealed to be the leader of the PT, right? But after you get back to LeBlanc, the teacher texts you and states that the reason you are not in school is because you went back to your hometown. Sojiro also confirms this is what he told the school. Do the students of Shujin not know that you are the leader of the PT, and think you are dead, or do they just believe that you are away?

[@danver8433]

Only select few people in the school know you're a PT if you pursue their confidant Link,Kawakami and Maruki.Sojiro tells them he's away because he doesn't know they already know he's a PT.

[@silverjace1000]

@@danver8433 Maruki technically doesn't count as he's already left the school at this point

[@fresherzzz9240]

@@danver8433 but didn’t the whole media reveal his identity?

[@phoenyck]

@@fresherzzz9240 No. His identity was never revealed to the public. The police know who Joker is (it's why they ransack Leblanc) but they don't give that information up to the public which is why the general excuse that Ren isn't around at school is that he went home.

[@namursyid]

​​​@@danver8433 what about Mishima? He's like the FIRST person who knows about it, right after Kamoshida's incident. Or are we just ignore him for being a doofus? But if you talk about Sojiro here, it's possible that Sojiro didn't know that Kawakami knows about it

Thank you for make a spoiler, but also thanks to show me how amazing can this game be and make feel you closer to the characters. Just... Amazing

[@mewtuber6387]

Kasumi's scene just hits all the feels

[@Mikura39]

On topic about the video, did anyone find it weird that Futaba actually said Kasumi by her first name and not her last? (She kinda did later on though) Everyone other than Joker calls her Yoshizawa because...you know... Not just that, in the JP version of the scene, Futaba NEVER called Kasumi by her first name. So, is this some kind of error in the English version??

[@trocer2235]

It sort of makes sense If you consider the fact that Futaba isn't a student at Shujin. Joker could have just told her the name and went with it since she wouldn't have any idea who she was in the first place, since she doesn't go to Shujin and wouldn't know about the drama that happened.

[@Mikura39]

@@trocer2235 And yet, she called her Yoshizawa later during the scene. *P5R SPOILERS INCOMING* Also, the news of Kasumi's death must have spread throughout the country since she's somewhat well known. So, there's a possibility Futaba might have known of that news.

[@trocer2235]

@@Mikura39 Whatever she wants to call her, I don't really want to go deep into that. My explanation only serves to give reason to why she would call her Kasumi in the first place. And regarding the news, it has already been over half a year since the incident happened. Unless she was THAT famous that she became a household name or her death was covered multiple times over the span of a few weeks, it would be easily forgotten unless you're closely involved to either her family, or the gymnastics scene. I mean let's be honest here, do you even know who the top gymnast of your country is? Because I don't.

[@Mikura39]

@@trocer2235 Well duh. I never cared about that stuff in the first place. That's definitely something I agree with. Calling people by their last names is a thing in Japan as it is considered respectful to strangers, celebrities or people who're not close to you. So, it kinda threw me off a bit when Futaba called her by her first name in the ENG version despite the fact that she's not close to her. Judging by the flashbacks, Kasumi Yoshizawa seemed pretty famous to me. That's what I assumed. So her death must have spread almost everywhere. Even if you're not interested in sports or gymnastics, you're bound to at least encounter one article about her death. At least, that's what happened to me.

[@trocer2235]

@@Mikura39 Yeah, but one article isn't gonna be much help when it comes to remembering things that happened over half a year ago. For Futaba, maybe it's enough. But given what happened over the course of a few months, a memory of an article of some gymnast dying half a year ago will definitely go down a few levels in the priority list of things to remember.
