The Persona 5 Special YLYL!! ~ #40

[@TionsofCoffee2]

I wanna let everyone know, the amount of bad pancake memes I had to scrub through... would fucking kill Akechi on sight. Happy YLYL Wednesday!

[@ladyholiday3863]

Thank u for your sacrifice o7

[@nixielad]

I'm confused, are you saying the pancake meme is bad or are people just being lazy with the meme?

[@Dynasty_VR]

Can confirm, it was an ungodly amount

[@PillboxBollocks]

🥁🎺🎹🎤And ai~eeai~ - will all whez - luh~huhv youuu~oh ai~ - will all~whez - luh~huhv youuu~!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Thank you, Bodyguard Tion. And thank you for your hard wood. I love it.

Oh no...

[@darklaw2862]

You know what? Futaba 100% would Rick roll all of Japan without a second thought

[@mariaevens8969]

Her Teammates included x"D

[@DaemonKrown]

A part of me says yes The other says that she would be like "That joke its too obvious/basic"

[@RavenGamingOverLord]

Yeah maybe. I feel like she would say it’s too simple

[@naproupi]

To be fair, hacking a giant screen in the middle of Tokyo to Rickroll everyone sounds like something Futaba would do

[@IceQueen975]

....I'm stealing that for my fanfic. Thank you and bless

[@naproupi]

@@IceQueen975 by all means. Have fun

[@greywalker505]

Why just Rickroll? Suppose she used “Cuban Pete”?

[@Jackariahryinguh]

16:20 is even better when you realise Aleks Le is the one doing the voiceover, aka the voice of the protag in P3 Reload

[@supernerd8067]

I heard a little Zenitsu when he screamed now that you mentioned it.

[@M0rinkashi]

I hope he goes beast mode with this one. If you know you know.

Funny to think that the "Akechi Gamer" voice actor is now the protag of P3R

[@diedforsomemilk7774]

For real?

@@diedforsomemilk7774 Yup, Aleks Le

FOR REAL?!

[@nuggetlordalmighty1865]

It's so funny to me that the guy who voiced the "YOU ARE NOT A GAMER!" meme is going to be the official voice of the persona 3 protagonist as of reload.

[@edcec35]

As someone once said. FOR REAL?

[@benjamindonahue9434]

I lost it when the dude was imitating Ryuji's posture and goes FOR REAL XD

[@LigayasJoys]

That dude's actually Ryuji's English voice, Max Mittelman! He's amazing. 😂

[@benjamindonahue9434]

Didn't know that, even better!

[@pearlplayaa]

​@@LigayasJoysyoo, Ryuji shares a VA with Kaden Fire Emblem? I had no idea

[@TheBlueFedora-tp2om]

FOR REAL!?

[@downbeatdialga1341]

9:44 I have to wonder if Ryuji’s posture and poses are so off because of his busted leg, like if it’s just easier for him to be slouched over like that due to chronic pain. 🥺

[@greywalker505]

…Lord, that’s depressing.

[@warlordofbritannia]

As someone with such a leg: Yes. The worst part is that you overuse your other, and then you have a bad leg in addition to the arthritic one

[@RavenGamingOverLord]

Yeah most likely

[@downbeatdialga1341]

That’s another reason I resent Kamoshida, in addition to all the predatory stuff he was doing. Once Ryuji learned about how much Ann, Mishima & Shiho were hurting because of that creep, Ryuji put his own gripes on the back burner to get justice for the others, but never forget that Kamoshida was responsible for busting up his knee. The girls bare the emotional scars of SA, grooming (and Shiho having to do extensive physical therapy after her attempt), but Ryuji’s always going to have physical pain too. To me, that makes the moments in the game where he pushes himself legs to run despite the pain (fleeing Palace 1, and the last Palace jump), it’s why he’s my favorite Phantom Thief.

[@flamezard]

Fun fact the guy who did the gamer speech is Alex Lee who plays Makoto P3R

[@Cirkusleader]

That Kasumi one fucking SENT ME. I feel so bad for laughing but I have to appreciate the sheer, unadulterated AUDACITY.

[@RavenGamingOverLord]

Same. I found it hilarious

[@_SereneMango]

...I won't deny, younger me would've exploded out of laugher.

[@TheLastHeroicKnight]

10:58 - 11:50 I've never thought I see JCbackfire get into a persona 5 try not to laugh video. Truly brilliant

[@KevKrieger32]

4:56 Akechi will be always the Pancake King ^^. I love that NicoB clip :D

[@MidnightBikerHostility]

Aaaaaay i didn't even expect that clip to be there, love Nicob

[@Mythical_8]

The voice actor of Makoto Yuki in P3R everyone: 16:20

[@ingioromarsson8214]

Hi as someone who found you because of your Persona 5 Royal playthrough and your emotinal journey with Akechi i want to say thanks for everything since then your awesome have a nice day :)

[@CrystAAHHL]

Aww thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day too!!

[@Null82085]

I dropped everything to watch this, you’ll never guess why I wanted to watch a Persona 5 based meme video

You can say you’ll never see the answer coming

[@LeighXP]

This video was hilarious and I’m super honored I got some clips thrown in the ring! forever grateful we met because of this game!!

[@CrystAAHHL]

YES!! I was so happy that the community sent clips from your streams in here!!! 💜💜 You're lovely Leigh, it made me smile so much!

[@ghostchannel4766]

16:19-17:54 Just wanted to point out that this post was voiced by Aleks Le, dub VA for Zenitsu in Demon Slayer and the VA for the MC in Persona 3 Reload lol.

[@SatchelStreams]

This is wild lol. I edited those two shorts you reacted to at 10:58 for JC. I immediately paused and was shocked to see those in here. Thanks so much for featuring these. A huge reason I was inspired to edit playthrough videos was because of your Persona let's plays. Hope you have a great day 💙

[@CrystAAHHL]

Oh my goodness that's so sweet to hear AHHH!!! Thank you so much for such a nice comment and keep doing those edits, they were really great!

[@SatchelStreams]

@@CrystAAHHLthanks!

[@deepfreezes]

Thats my boy

[@celestecrabb]

That “I miss Persona 5”… Girl I felt that 😭

[@breath_0636]

The copypasta was voiced by Aleks le so it could also be Makoto that’s saying it.

[@TheDeathOmen]

Yeah but it’s way funnier to imagine it’s Akechi since he sounds like him

[@blue_7657]

At the beginning, It was the perfect time to make a cool "Specialist" dance xD

[@Dynasty_VR]

This video is a miracle, I actually laughed at Persona 5 memes for the first time in years

[@itisirandom]

5:52 That's a Hardstop Lucas (aka LoudMouth) skit. He was on Vine back in the day.

[@ChaosUnown]

Crystal’s day be SO FINE. And then boom: Rick roll at the end, Rip.

[@kingjam2198]

You never see it coming

[@asukadranzer]

the fact that in 12 weeks it is a whole year YLYL makes me a bit emotional. thank you Crystahl and Tion for making wednesdays better the last 40 weeks ❣

[@SarahKey]

love this!!!!!!!!!!!! also did not expect to be in here LOL

[@CrystAAHHL]

I was so happy that the community put your clip there for the video

[@okaminodin4321]

I love how I recognized NicoB in those clips as soon as he started singing about Akechi being the pancake king XD Also, great video as always!

[@ChrisRolands]

The funny thing about the gamer rant is that the voiced gamer rant is voiced by Aleks Le, also known as Makato YUK P3Reload.

[@EnderMega]

4:03 Its even better when you know its actual Akechi english VA.

[@JamesTheAce0]

The four horsememes of persona 5: Pancakes For real?! The maid Brick (if you know you know)

[@KaiboStudios]

10:26 I think Xemnas is having trouble on the toilet.

[@Petrosyan_Stasyan]

2:15 That "NO!!!" was personal.

[@PokéJolt50]

I'm just gonna say this is probably my favorite YLYL. As a Persona 5 fan myself, a lot of these were so good. The 'The Office' bit and the one where Ryuji's voice actor did his stances and said the funny line broke me so hard!

[@ladyholiday3863]

Yippee! Persona themed! Let’s hope for another theme ylyl at #50!

[@abbystar1072]

I'm actually so happy to see Crystal react to a NicoB clip, he is just so funny. We should send her more clips from Nico's let's plays cause honestly they are so funny.

[@ANightattheOpera28]

The Moe one with Last Surprise always knocks me OUT BUT THE SPONGEBOB ONE WITH KASUMI JESUS CHRIST I ABOUT SPLIT MY THROAT LAUGHING

[@weakbunny6883]

As a persona 5 lover, I can tell thatI have only 2 brain cells and they name is "go to bed" and "pancakes!!"

[@NeoMusicGamer]

One of my favorite P5 memes is "The Phantom Thieves Save Christmas", just an overly silly video.

[@LigayasJoys]

Hi, I'm rewatching this again because Persona 5 is my comfort videogame franchise now. I lost a loved one to the prison system recently after they spent years in it, and playing the game helped me deal with the trauma as well as provided closure (especially the interrogation room because a related event IRL was the start of the madness). I really enjoyed this excellent selection, many of the memes here I hadn't seen before, so good job to Tion and the community! Thank you for sharing your love of Persona 5 and helping fellow fans spread that love around. Be well.

[@leonfurry]

4:40 I’m sorry, what? “This our chance! Don’t waste- C O M E!!” 😂

[@darkshibe2267]

Honestly, I never saw this coming.

[@RadJordy]

This is my favorite episode so far. I tend to stay out of most persona fandom spaces (for obvious reasons) so I hadn't seen any of these. Nice! 👍

[@lukeb247]

40th episode. For real? Kidding aside your persona stuff is how I discovered you and so glad to have done so

[@86fifty]

This one was really super fun - I'd never seen the 3D animated meme ones before! But my favorites was definitely the two with real cats - the one in the bag, and the one that reverse-uno-card'd the kid about to throw him in the pool LMAO

[@TinyXChips]

5:51 i watched this so many times and i couldn’t stop laughing

[@genyken]

5:39 you clearly don't own an air fryer i was waiting all my life to say that

[@DarkwolfRedsoul]

I would love it if you did more game themed videos. Or just themed videos over all.

[@CrystAAHHL]

I'll do more for sure!

[@JamesTheAce0]

10:58 The timing is so perfect I can't even put it into words

[@CobyV28]

This has been my favorite YLYL video of yours! So great! I laughed a lot!

[@jeremymartin7403]

This was unironically one of my favorites a lot of them are so funny or really cute like the cat in the shujin bag

[@PJSam1998]

Wasn't expecting the Nicob vid, but I like.

[@AANDMGAMES121]

I love your videos , and i first found you because my brothers love to watch the ylyl videos, but when i found out that you played persona 4 golden (my favorite game) and persona 4 dancing, i was in shock and immediately started watching your playthroughs. My favorite is also Naoto because it just is. I think that you should make a ylyl persona 4 edition next!❤

[@repentantsky4290]

The SarahKey one broke me because I was there when it happened. It was so funny. I was doing good until then to. lol.

you never see the rick roll coming

[@mgw3133]

was NOT expecting a nyxipuff clip, holy shit lmao

[@PillboxBollocks]

This is great! I never woulda thunk P5 coulda been so funny. I should pick it back up, give it another try. You are such a bright light, Crys. Keep being you. Dorkiness is endearing. 💙✌️⛔️〰️⭕️

[@full-timehuman]

My favorite Persona 5 memes are the ones that make fun of Sae’s crazy (but right) interrogation conclusions: “Nice shoes for a high schooler. Do you perhaps know… A COBBLER??!?!?”

[@lokii3970]

i still think about the quote from Shen just going "maam do you know what a therapist is"

[@belgiumwaffle]

"Oh my not a single rickroll!" and then 18:10 happened

[@hadeesumbra9435]

5:30 Oooooh, this one is a reference to a youtube video with Akechi using an air fryer LMAO

[@PIPPOMARCON93]

Now we need P3-4 YLYL ;)

[@bZman]

The persona series is easily my all time favorite game series. The mainline games are incredible stories and characters and the spin offs are fun hangouts with old friends

[@radjenovic6843]

I found crystaaaaal through p5 so this makes me happy.

[@PhantomShadow224]

I wanted to send the “beat that rubbish mentality into submission” bug but I realized the clip was too long according to the ylyl rule set 😅

[@Paws42]

Commenting before watching the actual vids. I digg the outfit, looking cool Crystahl

[@coffeeadaykeepsthesleepaway]

yes! we got an rt game persona clip!

[@axongear9650]

We need more themed episodes

[@quinnviandsej]

I probably wasn't the only one that suggested doing a Persona video for #40 when she had asked for ideas, but I was worried there wouldn't be enough fresh jokes for a full vid, especially if it's just P5. Glad to see the community's still got some fuel in the tank. This was great!

[@tonym3697]

A few killed me, specially Leigh ones. She made me laugh so hard many times that I would make an entire special of her being a meme endlessly lmao. Her fight with Nyx was inhuman, the grind, the mental breakdowns... she's a natural at making fun material (even with some tears in the middle lol). Long live YLYL specials!!1 And Tion edits too!!!!11

[@fireandiceforever975]

Haru practicing leg day at 4:52 lol

[@toonman5099]

WAIT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT'S ROBBIE IN THOSE STREAM VIDS! I (mostly recognize/)KNOW HIM (originally) FROM CRITICAL ROLE! XD Didn't realize he was Akechi, also just now realizing/finding out he's Chai in Hi-Fi Rush, Smokey in JoJo, Mumen Rider in One-Punch, SwaySway in Breadwinners (saw it for a bit when it would be on), 8th Brother in Star Wars Rebels, Pete in the recent Spider-Man cartoon, had a cameo in Legend of Vox Machina, Joe and Armadillomon in recent Digimon stuff, Prompto in FF15, Kenshiro in the recent Fist of the North Star stuff, Robin in Lego Dimensions, A-bomb in Lego Marvel Avengers, Spider-Man in MvCI, Hunter in the Spyro remakes, and some voices in the recent Crash Team Racing and On the Run (mostly Pinstripe).

1:43 Crystahl you forgot the gun

[@PotterBrony82]

Yeah, Akechi would be a gatekeeping POS wouldn’t he? I once read a response to that diatribe that absolutely destroyed the original poster, it was beautiful, talking about how actual real gamers wouldn’t have those opinions.

[@greywalker505]

I should look up those replies, just to see the OP get what’s coming to him.
