Embrace it. There's no turning back

For some it was sojiro and some are.... yoshida

[@captainaegirhellkingsurtr3116]

I already had one before. He just not only confirmed, but made it increase. It was also the start of a bit of a yakuza fetish. Or at least a confirmation of one.

[@kenzie2191]

He wasn’t solely who did it for me but he did awaken my thing for gun nuts...

[@spencerbowden2979]

If it’s your first time playing persona 5 this guy is going to be the hardest to max out. 5 guts is no easy feat.

[@pendragonxt3674]

It’s that hard to max?

[@spencerbowden2979]

@@pendragonxt3674 there really aren’t a lot of good ways to train the stat. During kamoshidas arc you only have 2 methods studying in library for 1 point and the clinical trials with Takemi for 1 point which will get locked at rank 7 if you don’t get 4 charm. After kamoshidas arc the only consistent way to get guts up is the Big Bang burger challenge which is 2 point and eating at the diner in shibuya which is 1 knowledge and either 1 kindness or 1 guts. And for the rest of the game that’s all you got aside from books, movies, dvds and video games which are all temporary methods. Guts is also the 2nd hardest stat to get to 5 aside from knowledge the difference being how limited you are in terms of earning guts points compared to knowledge which will naturally go up if you are answering questions in class correct and doing the crossword puzzles in le blance. Basically the problem is 1 confident gets the stat up, there are no natural game events that get it up and the consistent methods are very minimal.

I literally screamed,”Oh Shit!” When he pulled a gun on Iwai. This is really stupid to do this confidant in hindsight, after the cops start coming to the school.

Does he not have a voice line when you faked your death because I can't find it

[@adamshadow9881]

You should be grateful.

[@LAZY-RUBY]

I'm really glad guns are more useful in Royal. Iwai has one of the best confidant stories but one of the least useful abilities in Vanilla P5.

[@AldianHudaya]

This one gun daddy's existence solely made me question my sexuality. Don't get me started on the voice, holy god.

[@makototakara7025]

I wonder what was Iwai’s parenting skills like during Kaoru’s childhood.

[@MinhyoungHong]

I want to see “I’m back, baby” answer response!!!!

[@theyreapollo]

“I need a pawn of my own.” “Just follow my orders.” “You should be grateful” I am weak.

“I guess that’s fine” “You don’t know whatcha talking about, this is a great deal!”

Iwai-san is a cool dude.

[@Novum228]

Best side story tbh. He’s got a backstory of his own, and he’s resolving past issues. You even have to go to Mementos to change someone’s heart!

all confidants except phantom thief confidants require you to go to mementos though :)

[@makototakara7025]

Sometimes I wonder, does Iwai genuinely loves and cares for his adopted son Kaoru or he only raised him out of pity?

[@bathestyles6525]

I think it started out as pity, but eventually became genuine love and care. I don't think you quit the Yakuza and tattoo a gecko on your neck out of pity.

[@makototakara7025]

@@bathestyles6525 I brought it up because I kinda wanna know what Iwai’s parenting skills was like during Kaoru’s youth.

[@spencerbowden2979]

It most definitely wasn’t out of pity Iwai cared enough he wanted to keep the kid far out of his own shit.

[@captainaegirhellkingsurtr3116]

Anyone else, realize the entire Iwai confidant is huge subtext gold mine of BL conversation, I swear I'm surprised no other Fudanshi and definitely surprised no Fujoshis have jumped on it yet. I mean the entire conversations between the are like direct dialogue from a bl manga. I swear the majority of the time watching this I thought was Kai from Kiss Him Not Me writing this or what.
