I feel like Yusuke would make the funniest memes but on complete accident and not really get why everyone is laughing.

[@omarmansuri7099]

Definitely. He doesn't find memes funny per say ( He doesn't even think they are supposed to be funny) but he finds the creation of it an art and so keeps making it. He doesn't realize his minimalist memes work perfectly with zoomer humour and so always end up being the best which futaba is jealous of.

[@hafizhaekal1352]

Here's a headcanon: Adachi sent the warning letter because he fears that Nanako would become a victim of Namatame's kidnapping. While Adachi wanted his game to keep going, he also feel a genuine connection to the Dojima household so he sent the letter to stop the investigation team and let Namatame see that his action killed the person he wanted to save, thus breaking the kidnapping cycle before it gets to Nanako. When Nanako showed up on TV, Adachi got really nervous that she'll be the next target. He sent the 2nd warning letter "If you don't stop this time, someone close will be put in and killed" even though it could become a massive hint to track him down but by the time the letter reached Yu it was already to late. I like the idea that Adachi's bond with Dojima, Nanako, and Yu led to his eventual downfall.

[@demi-femme4821]

That's pretty good. I'd like it if Adachi said something about Namatame spoiling the ride when he went after Nanako during your confrontation with him in Mayumi's part of the TV World. I'd also kind of like it if he laid some of the blame on Nanako's condition on Naoto. Maybe he'd say something along the lines of it being a game to Naoto too, and that a serious cop would have shot Namatame first and asked questions later.

Headcanon: After Royal, Akechi represents the Adjustment Arcana (the equivalent of Justice in the Thoth Tarot). This arcana represents honesty, balance, adapting to new environments and self-realization, which I think suits Akechi's development.

[@nocebo5792]

I can see that. He became honest not having to hide his murderous intent anymore in Royal and not even once in a game, did he even act like he gives a shit, or feel any remorse about killing Okumura, Wakaba, and dozens of innocent people(because all adults aside from Confidants are rotten but when teenager psychopath kills dozens of people because of stupid daddy issues? Aw, you deserve sympathy, wtf?). For almost entire game he's balancing his "I want to kill everyone and trample people dreams!" with "I'm respectable detective/good person who wants justice for everyone" act, until he doesn't have to in Royal. He adapted to new environment in Royal rather well, veeeery reluctantly teaming up with PT (after he failed to kill them) and convinced squad that he's necessary for win against Maruki (he wasn't), including two people who's parents he killed (and one was loved mother, not asshole devil like Okumura). That's some finesse I've gotta admit. After events in basic P5 (if we assume that he survived long exhausting fight against Shido's cognition of him & multiple shadows ALONE, that happened just after his long and exhausting fight with PT, and the end of which he was both exhausted & shoot... But majority of fans somehow have that as their headcannon that this piece of shit survived, so yea) he realized that he's violence & challenge maniac like goku or Hisoka from HxH, and he hates being manipulated (even thought he willingly put himself into Shido manipulation, with veeeery stupid plan that elevated the man he hated, from someone kind of important to most known man in japan and if not PT, their president), but loves manipulating people (PT in 4th semester, literally everyone he had a contact with in P5), so he became small crime organization leader manipulating things from shadows, and if his pawns couldn't do the job doing it sneakily himself, but never going overboard to not attract PT attention. I know the scene of him being "alive" at the end of Royal was cheap bait for his fans same like those 5-6 lines, where Joker jokingly says some flirty line with male PT are bait for massive gay shippers community (low effor for big bravo from significant part of the community), but if they will ever make him come back I can't see him as anything other than villain or just like in royal - villain who reluctantly has to team up with good guys to accomplish his goal (which because there is always some god fight would be not dying or not being manipulated, and even villains don't want to die or be pawns).

Ayy this was a nice video: For me, I always envisioned the P1 protagonist becoming a singer after he graduates since his Contact options had it. It also explain why he wouldn't be around during P2 since he was probably touring during that time. In P4 Izanami mentioned that Namatame, Adachi and Yu represents Hope, Despair and Emptiness and that Yu was the most grounded. However, she never actually says who belongs to whom though it's generally believed Taro is Despair, Adachi Emptiness and Yu Hope due to the order of her words. I kinda like to believe that Taro is Hope, Adachi is Despair and Yu Emptiness. Like perhaps she intended them to be what they selected, but their true selves didn't add up. Namatame was driven by the Hope that he could save people from being murdered, but that hope blinded him from the truth that he was actually causing these incidents. Adachi succumbed from the Despair of the cynical truths in the world (he even flat out says the during his monologue before his boss fight) and all his actions were basically him snapping as a result from being worn down by a life that had gone nowhere, with him rejecting the truth that things could ever get better. As for Yu, he's the player avatar. A blank slate that throughout the story has filled itself with bonds and continued to seek the whole truth, even after finding the culprit and hadn't let himself be misled down a horrible path. It also helps in the anime, his whole character arc was him accepting that he wasn't empty or his life wasn't meaningless without his friends that he had made in Inaba.

I mean, I don't think that's even head canon so much as just basic common sense. Persona, as a Japanese game series, thats also very heavily immersed in Japanese culture, will focus on Japan primarily for reasons that should be obvious. That's kind of the case with most pieces of fiction. Just because we only see something happening in one place doesn't mean interesting stuff isn't happening elsewhere too. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, after all. We KNOW Persona and its various supernatural phenomena aren't limited to just one place in the world, after all, so there obviously must be Shadows, Persona users, gods, alternate dimensions, and so on elsewhere too.

Headcanon for Shido's palace from P5: The cleaner guy that you fight against for the 5th recommendation letter, was the cognitive form of Ryuji's dad. Think about it. Ryuji was introduced as Vulgar Boy. And the Cleaner was introduced as "Extremely Vulgar Man". By his tone and attitude, you could tell he's probably not the nicest person around. Much like Ryuji's father whom we know drank a lot and was abusive. Haru and Futaba were given the chance to confront the people who profited off of their suffering in the real world. Haru got her revenge against the guy who filmed his own dad's murder on live TV, and Futaba got her revenge against the fake Medjed who taunted the phantom thieves. So wouldn't it be nice if Ryuji got to tie up loose ends with his father, whom we never directly see up until now? Furthermore, Ryuji was the only human part member to not be involved with any of the schemes for getting the recommendation letters (Makoto got the first one, Ann got the Second, Haru got the third, Futaba got the fourth, and Yusuke got the fifth) And yes, I know that Ryuji and Makoto technically got the first one together, but Ryuji basically did nothing. And we had the option to send off Yusuke to do it instead of Ryuji, but he INSISTED that he go because he wanted to eat at a cognitive restaurant where none of the food was real. So Ryuji basically robbed himself out of the chance to confront his non-canonical dad because he was hungry for fictional food on a mission where he did none of the work. So yeah. That's my idea for why Ryuji should've had a moment of confrontation in Shido's palace against his father who left him.

He will be the Attendant for that game, and completing his Social Link gets him to reveal who he was talking about at the end of Royal. Dojima had some doubts about giving Yu his scooter because of a traumatic childhood event involving his sister (Yu’s mother) being really bad with directions. Futaba has pirated the entire Wii library. Haru has played Undertale, and bought the game specifically to try the Genocide route. When they went to college, she lent the game to Makoto, who tried doing a Pacifist run but gave up partway through because she thought she had to kill Toriel. Futaba actively participates in an Indie game forum, and she convinced Ryuji to join. Ann is actually really good at acting when she isn’t in immediate danger.

My first theory is that everyone can speak the language of their Persona. Io lets Yukari speak Greek, Johanna lets Makoto speak Church Latin, etc. Captain Kidd does let Ryuji understand English, but if he tries to speak it, he'll sound like a pirate, which is useless for tests. If he learned English normally, he can bypass this. (However, he can still understand modern, non-pirate English). When he gets Sun Wukong, he learns Chinese, which also helps him with kanji, but not completely. I also have a theory that Persona users can use their Personas anywhere, and they're not restricted to the DEVA system, Sumaru City's rumor field, or Collective Unconscious. The thing is, their powers only work when they think they do, and since the Detective Team and Phantom Thieves think of themselves as 'students by day, heroes by night', they can't use their powers in the real world. It's just a mental block, and they could summon in the real world if they were convinced that they could. I have evidence. In Persona 2, Toro and Reiji work for the same company, but since Toro's Mara induces greed and Reiji's Mot induces fear, Toro is much more successful. None of the former Persona 1 cast members think it's weird that they can suddenly summon again, and I think Nanjo regularly summons his Persona to talk. Maya mentions that Maia is her guardian angel, and since she moved away from Sumaru City as a child, she must have summoned her again outside of the city. In Persona 3, Fuuka is asked to scan for Aigis on the Yakushima trip during the day, and Medea tries to kill Chidori in broad daylight. Granted, this could the the Dark Hour's influence in normal time. From a broader Megaten perspective, restricted Persona use is kind of unfair, because there's no limit on any other kind of magic.

For the second theory I think I pretty much view it as canon because of not only those instances but in the Arena games we see Fuuka scan the TV World while outside of it, the P3 cast can summon without their Evokers in the TV World, and when they enter Demon Labyrinths in the Q games they initally finder it harder to summon but gain Sub-Persona abilities which is very similar to the Affinity system from P1 and P2. I think that because Personas are powered by the soul and mental strength the deeper in the Collective Unconscious you go the easier it is so it's totally possible to summon in the Real World, you just have to know it's possible, try to do it, and train yourself to do it.

Yosuke as a businessman in p5 arena would literally just be answer from guilty gear

My headcanon was that Yakuza and Persona take place in the same universe. As such, Junpei’s favorite/go-to Karaoke song is “The Future I’ve Dreamed Of”, Rise and Haruka met while idols and became quick friends, and Kiryu (at one point or another) had entered Leblanc just to get a drink of Coffee and hit it off with Sojiro, but not before thinking for a second that Kiryu is just a Yakuza trying to shake him down for protection and is surprised that he ACTUALLY just wants some coffee. Potentially, you could have Futaba hack into the Florist’s cameras and he anonymously offers her a job and she’s just like “nah”. Kiryu also went to Lala-chan’s bar and saw and talked to Joker. Iwai was former Tojo Clan and was beaten up as a nameless mook by Kiryu and has since matured and gotten wiser. Junpei believes Shinada didn’t cheat and respected the game in that famous home run. The protagonist and dumbass best friend of each game sing Judgement at least once in Karaoke.

28:09 Ooh, my headcanons. I’m so happy you read them. Thanks, Fither. Unfortunately I forgot to add one where Bebe becomes a famous fashion designer in France and Ann models his clothes (I edited the comment but Fither must have made the video before then). There were also a few that weren’t really my own haedcanons that I didn’t add, more theories I saw from other posts: - That Ryuji was one of the kids that Yuko gave track lessons to in her Social Link (specifically the one given a portrait in Persona 3 Portable and was called “Boy with a Yellow Short”). (EDIT: It’s in the video) - In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, there’s a kid called “Gorou” (who was given a portrait) who was on the little league team Junpei taught baseball to that could be Akechi (but probably not as Gorou has black hair). - That cop in Adachi’s story (the one who roughed up Adachi and was brainwashed by Sho to force Adachi in the TV at gunpoint) was the same cop who slammed Zenkichi’s head on the desk before Sae saved him as they both had the same English voice actor. - And that Zenkichi was the same uncle that Saori had a crush on because they have the same surname.

14:09 I'm just imagining Makoto hanging out with Aigis and Yukari then just randomly dissapearing like how they do in infinity war. While typing that I thought of the adios meme gosh dangit.

The thing with Maruki's actualization is very possible except the "they got traumatized again" bit. Based on what Sojiro says after Wakaba disappears and at the end, people who don't "break out" of the actualization don't remember it ever happening besides vague feelings, like how Sojiro says he's had the feeling that he's been seeing Wakaba recently. The most they'd get is vague memories of seeing them

[@itz_cros3779]

You should really do a part 2 of this

[@GoreHusbando]

I second this. These headcanons are interesting

[@DezuFuck]

I agree

[@sugoiboyxl8345]

I concur

[@conradcooper2710]

Realizing Futaba would 100% be a vtuber fan has shattered my mind

[@potatospeedwagon3994]

I feel like someone needs to introduce Yusuke to the Bob Ross technique.

[@EnzoZambrotti]

I like to believe that somewhere there is a descendent of the Kuzunoha Clan that is investigating the Phantom Thieves as they believe the Phantom Thieves could be related to Demons and the Expanse. Also I like to believe that the Metaverse is the Expanse, but it was taken over by Nyarlathotep and the Demons became Shadows and that Igor’s presence is what turns the Demons into Persona Cards. That would explain why in P5 where Igor is gone the Shadows turn into Demons instead of Cards.
