[@narukami6364]

@@lethalweeb4415 Oh yeah, I never knew people looking into the camera indicated that they were about to make a Persona 4 reference. Look, this isn’t a Persona 4 reference. Yu is an extremely common Japanese name, and it’s always been made out as a joke in western stuff, most notably from the movie Rush Hour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXK5n4KwbM5ggKM I love P4, but Persona is a niche series, an especially niche series back in early 2012 as well. Even if the writer played Persona, there is no point to them stuffing in this joke that no one (apart from the fake laughter soundtrack) would understand as a reference to Persona. It’s literally making fun of the common name Yu and the English word ‘you’. Do I really have to explain this? Most people in the comments are just playing along with the joke but it seems a lot of people judging by this actually think it’s a reference. I guess the “everything is a reference to persona” meme isn’t just a meme.

[@Jackenack]

Yeah this ain't a Persona 4 reference. The only similarities here is "japanese student with the name Yu in highschool."
