Professional Dancer Ranks Persona 3 Partner Choreography

[@brodaforlife]

Don’t forget about Makoto’s Chad/ Swag style of dancing

[@Neis999]

I only just realized that Akihiko was largely desynced from the rest of the partners at the beginning was hinting at how he keeps charging forward without his teammates to beat up strong shadows and Mitsuru scolding him on how that's not how a team works!

[@enteikarino6921]

Except for Shinji who he worked the best with.

[@anotherkenlon]

Akihiko has some of the best partner dances in the game precisely because of the lack of coordination with most of them. Because it's perfect characterization. Mitsuru can wrangle him into line a little, and Ken can pull him into coordination, but he's mostly out there fighting on his own, even on the dance floor.

[@w1nther930]

@@anotherkenlon And then there's Shinjiro who is perfectly matched with him

[@MajorLynette]

the way shinji rejects mitsuru's help earlier in their dance but then supports her in that lift really reflects the way he's willing to support his friends but won't accept their attempts to support him and it hurts

[@MillenniumDays]

MY favourite thing about Liz, is that even compared to the other attendants she's still an absolute weirdo.

[@advmx3]

And I love how Makoto just loves her weirdo energy. I guess in a very depressing time she was a beacon of happiness for him XD

[@BravoBigBirdZ7775]

@@advmx3 Yeah I remember playing the game and watching the anime they really hit the idea that Liz did indeed help Makoto out of a rough time with her awesome personality

[@FungusUSMC]

@@BravoBigBirdZ7775 Listening to Liz's VA's tone and choice of words when Makoto reached an epiphany to no longer be depressed, you can kind of tell that Liz may be acting goofy on purpose to push Makoto in the right direction. When she departs, she kind of gives him a "Good job finally figuring yourself out, you got it from here on out". She is an interesting character where there are times she is completely chaotic, and then suddenly her mannerisms turn 180 and she becomes a total professional. Miyuki Sawashiro is a master-class voice actress. Tara Platt as her English VA is phenomenal in bringing out Liz's charm too.

[@davenathan2002]

The Shinji/Mitsuru dance is underrated because of the quality of the dances sandwiching it, but it's one of the best partner dances in the game, and shows a rare vulnerable Mitsuru.

[@Neis999]

It's also amazing where not only does it show Mitsuru as vulnerable, but she still couldn't support Shinji when she starts getting overwhelmed by the problems her family's companies have caused for everyone and herself as she runs off at the end of the sequence.

[@kennydawg4387]

Also crazy that this is literally one of the few interactions they have between the games and it’s THAT,,, I like that it shows that they trust each other implicitly tho

[@fedechan6325]

The part where he SUPPORTED her through her leap got me ;-; like that's him!! He supported the whole SEES, but here it's worse because Mitsuru doesn't ever return the favour in the coreoraphy. She just doesn't get the chance to (⁠ノ⁠T⁠＿⁠T⁠)⁠ノ⁠ ⁠＾⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

[@thedaemonwolf1814]

My favorite bit in Sho & Makoto is just Makoto walking towards him. Sho has a sword pointed at his chest and another ready to swing, Makoto has _maybe_ his Evoker, but he doesn't even reach for it, he just walks towards the crazy dude with the swords with his _hands in his pockets_ and _Sho_ is the one who backs away. Not just "no effs given", Makoto outright _intimidates_ the guy while unarmed. He's so freakin' cool! Also Shinji and Ken crushed my heart and I don't think I'm ever going to recover.

[@grotus5549]

Makoto brings the same kind of intimidating authority as Pheonix Wright in UMvC3 just by walking forward. Crazy.

[@nabeel4883]

That man knows he's gangster and so does Makoto @@grotus5549

[@brodaforlife]

I don’t know which is better Makoto’s & Junpei’s swag style of dancing or Shinjiro’s & Ken’s emotionally soul crushing partner dancing. They’re both so powerful in there own way

[@AISpectre]

I like Ken and Junpei's interactions because it hints to the fact Junpei is good with kids and is a baseball coach. It's so precious to not only see Ken enjoy his time with Junpei, but also see this side to Junpei

[@Alfrodo8]

One of my favorite bits of Shinji's choreography is how right after the Fever Time ends he walks backwards reaching his hand out to the partner BUT when Ken dances with him, Ken reaches out to him the same way right before the end of the Fever Time so they match up together 😭 EDIT (Like a whole day later): Checking it again and ACTUALLY Shinji's gesture after the end of Fever Time is only TOWARDS his partner when he dances with Ken, because the other 3 leave the stage the other way (behind him instead of in front of him), so it only works that way with Ken 🥲

[@pablocl3186]

he realizes he wants to reach out to him but his time is already up, just like in the game

[@AnaTheUser]

I love how the game gives us the details like Ken looking to learn their moves and Makoto smilling. It melts my heart. ❤️

[@rocrod430]

At 32:45, There's a cute interaction I like. In one of Ken's social link interactions, he mentions that his spins aren't the best and they need work/practice. Makoto's face when Ken pulls off a face is sorta like a "Daaaamn he really did practice"

[@IZINA1997]

Junpei continues to be the ultimate King of Dancing in Persona His power is unstoppable

[@inapixelbloom]

I think Fuuka's Wiping All Out is meant to be interpretive dance. She's primarily hanging in the background while most of her partners take centre stage, which fits since she's Nav.

[@GhostHunter-lm8tv]

I absolutely adore Shinji’s partner dances. All of them speak to the different relationships he has with the cast that dances with him. Makoto and him are connected a bit, but it’s clear Makoto is having a bit of a hard time staying with Shinji because he’s not as familiar with him as Akihiko or Mitsuru. Mitsuru is a lot more in time with him, but ultimately you can still feel a real disconnect between the two. Akihiko is completely in sync with him most of the time, because they both know each other the best. And Ken…oh boy, that one also makes me tear up. I also adore Makoto’s dance with Sho. At first for me it seemed like an odd choice, like maybe they just needed a fourth and said “Hey, let’s throw Makoto in there,” but after thinking about it more, this is the way I interpret it: even though they never meet, I interpret this as showing that Sho would never have even lasted a second in P4AU with Makoto around. Unlike the other partners, who are mostly on the defensive and are clearly struggling with Sho’s power, Makoto easily handled him, and even walks away from him without turning back. Not to say Narukami is a slouch (he did beat him after all), but even he had a hard time with Sho. In short, this is the answer (haha see what I did there?) to the what-if scenario of Makoto facing off against Sho.

[@nahte123456]

In fairness to Makoto and Sho, Makoto isn't just a monster due to power but his attitude. Perhaps best shown in the first movie, when he, Junpie, and Yukari first enter Tartarus he instantly starts running at enemies, summoning his Persona right in their face and blasting fire as he's there. Makoto would not put up with Sho's shit, Sho captures the others like in Ultimax and Makoto will go right to Armageddon. He'll sort out the details later, after he's won.

[@0axis771]

Ken and Shinji's dance had SO much emotion because it feels like you can SENSE their story from their very dance. I can understand very well why it surpassed all other dances.

[@moonsong2341]

Everytime Liz enters, i remember that date you take her....just image Club Escapade had been open and Liz is just wrecking the dance floor while everyone else is trying to make sense of what is happening....🤣

Goddamn, Ken going WILD at 39:00 is excellent I love it. I have no context bc I haven't even met Ken yet in my P3P playthrough but DAMN little man can EMOTE.

[@neymiiie]

For anyone who’s curious, here’s the rough average scores for each dancer: Makoto: 90,88 Ken: 90,63 Akihiko: 58,13 Mitsuru: 86,67 Elizabeth: 71,33 Yukari: 88,67 Fuuka: 68,57 Aigis: 89,72 Shinjiro: 105 Junpei: 91 Theodore: 97 Labrys: 87,14 Sho: 98,75 Things to keep in mind: For my own sanity I decided to simplify the scores a little. So every dance in the 80-85 for example were counted as 80. This means that the averages are not 100% accurate, but I do not have thw time to get the exact scores. The 100+ all got 105 points, the Ken Shinji dance got 115 and the Akihiko tiers got 10 and 20 points respectively. Idk if anyone asked for these, but since I made the calculations I might as well share them here!

They both pretty clearly came to their dancing styles based on their combat styles, so it makes sense.

[@PlausiblyBryce]

33:41 Crystaahhl: This is what I mean by "consideration". You mean... *KEN-sideration?* Edit: Off-topic, there's something I really like about Makoto and Sho's choreography. Compared to the other three, where Sho's on the offensive, he's fighting/dancing on the *defensive* since Makoto is able to get in close, and Makoto is the only one to actually land a hit in.

[@ahmijalza2101]

someone also commented how there's a point in the dance where makoto just walks slowly towards sho with both his hands in his pocket and sho actually back down, portraying how makoto managed to intimidate sho which is so badass

What I love from these videos is that, I’m not a professional towards music or dance by any stretch of the means, yet it feels like I’m sitting in a class with a teacher who is really really passionate about what she does. The teacher is providing examples and/or grading these examples for the class to understand and criticize. You feel like you’re learning about the material so that we can better appreciate the choreography.

[@k-dawgHI]

The more I watch this the more I’m reminded why I love the P3 cast so damn much! Especially Makoto Junpei and Yukari. Which is funny because when I first played the game for a good while I couldn’t stand Junpei and the more the game went on the more I grew to like him.

[@advmx3]

I love how when you watch P5 is all about style, P4 is all about the happiness between friendship and P3 is all about the connections that never breaks, that feeling of you missing someone dearly but moving on. Every frame of Makoto looking as his friends is a gem. That's why I feel like P3P being ported to platforms instead of a remaster like P4G or a Remake is a crime. For all the horrible mechanics in P3, that game is all about a very serious and important message and I love it.

I'm crying in the club, because I'm so glad we have the dancing spin-offs, the Q spin-offs, and the Arena/Strikers spin-offs, which all allow the characters to be as in-character as they can possibly be and it works because we love them and we love their interactions.

[@t.a.g.8720]

Agreed. The spin-off games let the personalities of these characters shine after their story arcs (both personal and main plot wise). The games gives us their development and the spin-offs give us their maturity. I'm always wishing for sequel stories with these characters after their games. More of the P-Thieves improving society post disbanding. More of the Investigation Team years after their journey. More of SEES now that they're practically adults. And SOMETHING with P1 and P2 characters pls.

Not gonna lie, that Shinji and Makoto dance had me choked up by the end. I still find myself coming back to these because of what they symbolize. All of Shinji's are just so good, especially. So much storytelling in those dances. The way Makoto won't smile or look at him directly, the look on Akihiko's face when Shinji walks away, the way Mitsuru RUNS when she exits her scene with Shinji also hits something fierce, and of course, that Ken dance...

[@dededeletethis9940]

I wish the Yukari/Junpei dynamic in these dances was their regular character dynamic, as opposed to the constant Junpei abuse we have instead

[@mrtyrant1680]

Most of the group dynamic in the game was poorly developed. Especially in comparison to 4 and 5. (Honestly, they barely felt like a group of friends and the shit that went down in the Answer just proved it. {Fuck, imagine The Investigation Team or the Phantom Thieves going through that dilemma, I literally can't even imagine them even considering not going back to save Yu or Ren, even with the revelation of what really happened later, it's still showed how the SEES were barely friends.)

Never played a Persona game in my life and never had much inclination to give the series a shot. After seeing Shinjiro’s dances with their air of sadness and tragedy though, I’m actually at the very least interested in giving Persona 3 a shot. What is the story behind that (don’t tell me, this is rhetorical).

[@exostudios8563]

Also to add salt into the wound that CrystAAHHL didn't point out with the grandma video is that she put Labrys in P3 and not Fuuka or Metis. Labrys, even though she fits with the P3 story, is technically is from Persona 4's story as she only appears(other than Dancing) in Persona 4 Arena and Ultimax. Poor Fuuka and Metis.

[@roseslime713]

I find it EXTREMELY amusing that the bottom tier list went through a few changes all because Akihiko is adamant on doing things his way while simultaneously ghosting his friends. ... And that shortly after Liz and Fuka decided to get inspired, leading to their later appearances being seen as "Please acknowledge your partner" unlike their beginning ones in the video.

[@SplatterEffect_]

Liz reminds me of a dad who's daughter or son was in a highscool competition and their partner had an accident so he subbed in last second with no knowledge of the routine but knew he had to support them somehow. She failed at the routine but won at being a good dad 😂

[@kirillfrolov3384]

Fuuka is not empty-headed, she's just shy around boys. It's obvious that there are 2 dances for each fever, instead of four, and that they change with the partner's gender, so I think my theory makes sense. Also her Heartful Cry dance suffered from story telling, because she was the only person on both sides in that fight and she is trying to protect everybody in her dance. Doesn't look too good but it has meaning. P.S I know I am trying too hard to protect her, but that's what my heart is saying

[@edwardramos4591]

Honestly, the Fevers for the "Frustrated Friends" duos as I call them (Junpei and Yukari, Yosuke and Chie, Ryuji and Ann) are my favorites because they show that, no matter how annoyed the girl half can get with the boy half's shenanigans, they still have great chemistry with each other.

[@youremeraldstar]

So I watched the p5 partner dances sinced i finished the game but avoided this video until I finished playing p3p so I wouldn't spoil myself on characters and their interactions, and looking at the quality disparity between the two dancing games is like night and day. I thought the p5 dances were cute, but this is just... so much more. Everyone's dances were so full of character (even the ones where their partnership weren't all there lmao) that I just look back at p5d and think just how robbed they were. I can't wait to finish p4g now so I can watch their partner dances. Also can we talk about just how gut-wrenching Shinji's dances were? I've never cried at a dance before but holy shit they really wanted to tear your heart out, especially with Ken.

[@LD_art]

what i get from makoto's and shinji's is how the both don't care about their own lives but put others above them, hence the reason they have similar choreography, and for me the reason he looks away is the guilt that someone else died for another, and how makoto is still around after that and if we're going from the movies, both have a lot of comparible aspects, first seeming unkind or uncaring they have softs spots for others and are naturally nice and kind people, shown by the choreography, and the reason makoto looks away is the guilt of being the reason that shinji is dead, as the consequence of his selfeshness wanting to keep the dark hour, leaving many people traumatized much like shinji did with ken, which is why shinji leaves SEES and tries to become a wall and makoto does the same before meeting ryoji in the 3rd movie

[@Nono-Bunny]

I actually really liked Akihiko and Fuuka in Wiping All Out, it definitely feels like Fuuka is scanning for shadows outside of his immediate visibility while he's going ham on those near him, like... It's a great battle reenactment moment for me- Akihiko rushing in fists ablazing with Fuuka doing her job and making sure he's safe, and he appreciates how she supports his style and acknowledges her for it at the end. Like for two of the worst spacecases when it comes to partner dancing, the way these two managed to interact and work together *just enough* here was genuinely impressive and definitely felt telling of the importance of a navigator looking over your frontline fighters, especially the reckless ones!

This video is a jewel for someone who are curious about P3D but have no playstation😊 I was searching for all dance videos since I got so touched after watching Aragaki&partners dancing. And there are so much more precious and interesting dances in this game! And that Akihiko the PROTEIN is so funny😂😂 It is interesting to see how he changes from PROTEIN to partner. These dances implicit so much about characters and relationships that I even feel like I played P3R one more time. I am sure I am gonna watch this vid again and again. Thanks!

I just realized that makoto, yuu and Akira have ways of dancing that suit almost all their friends, emphasizing their position as wildcarts.3 people who use more than one "Persona" as if they always had a mask for each person they meet

[@Gokusephiroth]

I was so happy to have catched this stream, it was a blast seeing you have fun with P3's cast dances, though I feel like Ken's Mass destruction dance with Jenpei was a little unfairly scored since it wasn't really a dance, can't wait to see more of your content

[@sigelia]

A lot of these you can really tell which pairs were the base. Still a fun video

[@XxSherlockianHeroxX]

I like how Junpei’s character(and growth) comes out very well in dances, being the support and matching the energy of his partner when needed. I really love him. If only we got a fan service dance with him and Chidori tho. 😔

[@ceciliatabarez3027]

GOD the edition of this video was so hilarous😂

[@BravoBigBirdZ7775]

Akihiko constantly looking lost was so funny

[@patrykmalcher7791]

I had so much fun watching this with you and I also cried out loud during the Ken Shinjiro dance omg what have they done there. Masterpiece

[@boss_dan]

After I discovered your channel and the P5 and P5 dance tier lists, I spent this past year slogging through P3 FES (Tartarus made it hard to play tbh) just so I could watch this whole video and understand the choreography. I was rewatching the P4 (fav game) dance tier list over and over and history is repeating itself with this video, as I keep coming back to it. Your breakdowns and reactions are so fun, that even I feel like dancing haha! Hope to see you revisit these like you mentioned in a previous comment! + Junpei is goated at dancing 🔥

[@777SilverPhoenix777]

now you should rate the ending team dances. All 3 persona groups do well together in the finally dances.

[@JoJoestar]

It is always so fascinating watching these!

[@StarryOak76]

Good please someone notice that Minato/Makoto is following in Shinjiro’s footsteps physically during the dance while also following in his footsteps *metaphorically* as both of them end up dying…

[@ux8sind]

junpeis performance in when the moons reaching out stars 💀

[@Ealstrom]

Liz is her own world

[@PersonaAries]

This makes me so excited about finally being able to play Persona 3 when it comes out next year

[@Vlkix]

Junpei-Yukari partner done the same with mitsuru-junpei partner with getting up. 52:11

[@diegomoran7347]

what if in Makoto and Aigis' first partner dance, Makoto did a dip into Aigis' arms and leaned on her knee for a second. I think I would backflip out of a window

[@Junpei-Iori]

That would be SOUL-CRUSHING.

[@corruptedteka]

It was so fun watching these again ! Crystaahhl, our dancing games expert !

[@TwisterTH]

Aaaaaah yeaaah, let’s go! :D I’ve been waiting for this. 👏

[@bronzeoliniisnotfunny7885]

Ngl the dance with Makoto & Sho is raw as hell.

[@edwardsimpson119]

Absolutely criminal how they blatantly steal Kotone's songs and don't even include her as a DLC character.

[@nithayshreevijayakumar6266]

the editing in this is super entertaining! awesome vid
