I feel like Yusuke would make the funniest memes but on complete accident and not really get why everyone is laughing.
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.
@@omarmansuri7099 friendship ended with teddie, now yu is my best friend
he literally takes a screenshot of a random frame of a random video on the internet thinking that it's art, and everyone just laughs at it
Amogus, Oil on Canvas, Yusuke Kitagawa, 2021
He would definitely be a shitpost god by accident
Headcanon: Akechi's only confidant was Joker, who in his arcana was the Fool
I could see Sae and Kasumi being a confidant but not a strong one as it would go up and down but never reach level 10.
@@ci7210 Perhaps Sae and Kasumi’s confidant would be up to level 5, and then when it reaches third sem, the next other 5 levels would be unlocked
@@caramelcamelgreengrenade8259 yeah Joker spending time with Sumi but Akechi gets to spend time with Sae and finally get real sushi.
That makes sense
I think his social links would be: Joker, Shido and Sae

the Q games:
The reason why Igor isn’t in strikers is because he needed a vacation after being imprisoned in P5 and just told Lavenza to make something up
...I am now picturing him in Hawaii with Sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt... this is hilarious
@@John-Stark god dammit, I just imagined that and it's fucking hilarious!
Imagine igor showing up in persona 6 and he just has a tan
Igor: Aight. Ima head out. Lavenza. Take care of shit for me.
@@John-Stark someone needs to do fanart of this.
So Joker grew up in a pretty small town, correct? And Japan has a very homogeneous population. Basically, when Joker first met Ann, the reason he reacted Like That isn't just because she's pretty. It's because she's literally the very first natural blonde Joker has ever seen in real life. He's having culture shock.
And then the next person he meets is Ryuji, who also has bright blonde hair and then Joker in his head goes “how many fucking blondes are there in this citiy”
I think it's a combo
can someone give source about how Joker came from a small town? can't seem to find any
@@starc3968
I don't know if it's a small town but it IS confirmed he comes from the rural countryside and NOT a city. Baisically like a reverse Yu Narukami.
Although I don't think it's in the middle of nowhere like Inaba since Shido was there getting drunk.
@@starc3968 several characters call him a country boy which usually means a small town and it's mentioned that he doesn't understand the Tokyo lines at the beginning. I personally headcanon that he comes from Inaba, myself
It's confirmed in Q2 that Akechi found Naoto's work inspiring
He found adachi work inspiring also
@@LittleMissLuster that explains it👀
But wasn´t it the media/police that called Naoto the Detective Prince as of sort nickname? She didn´t give the name herself, didn´t she?
@@lunamariahawke9320 Yeah she was the detective prince and then Akechi became the next detective prince after her
Tv world was created due to the dark hour being erased. The Metaverse exist due to p4 gang restoring the tv world to its pure existence. These other dimensions keep on existing/being created due a need that shadows have to exist somewhere in the physical universe.
I kind of like this one the concept of the collective unconscious been to be somewhere in the world
So when Mementos disappeared, they started to appear in Jails... makes sense
@@PWLfr Yes and no because the jails are man-made, but another type of realm created by messing and experimenting with the metaverse makes sense
@@Shxnon Jails are man made, but this makes me think it saves someone the trouble of creating a place where shadows can exist.
Not really but kinda. Izanami states that she created the TV world to satisfy the people's desires to be seen and to see. And the Dark Hour is pretty much implied to be a result of the shadows gathered in the Lab becoming nyx and then exploding into the 13 shadows we see
I’m surprised the Feed Yusuke club wasn’t brought up. Basically all the Thieves and Sojiro are working and making plans behind Yusuke’s back to make sure he gets a few decent meals a week.
That's kind of a side Joke in the fic Ace in the Hole, where Ken and Shinjiro make lunches for most of the PT after they heard about Yusuke's reliance on bean sprouts and other small edibles
Imagine, you’re playing Persona 6, you’re fighting the God of Taxes. They have your party on the ropes, but all of humanity cries out for our heroes to succeed. Slowly the MC rises, pulls out his persona summoning device and calls upon his ultimate persona.
“I SUMMON THEE, YOSHI.”
That's the dumbest mental image and I want it to be real now lol
Written, produced and directed by: Hideo Kojima
Or an easier to get alternative: Turnip Boy!
I thought about the same, but you can implement the Vtuber stuff too. Your first confidant is a Vtuber and they're playing a Mario game, you both get swallowed by the game and find some demons there, before they attack you, you - in a true gamer moment - smash a keyboard, and summon the Yoshi persona.
And of course, it's a PS5 exclusive.
@@greawer8207 Thats amazing.
The reason why you date all the girls in P3 is because Minato doesn’t give enough of a shit to tell any of the girls that he’s already dating someone else but that they can still be friends.
Or he thinks he doesn't, but the truth is the opposite; he cares about them too much to say no.
@@aerithxx This is something I headcanon, P3 Hero lost their parents at a young age and was bounced around for years making it hard to make genuine connections. Not sure how to handle the confessions they just go along with it as they can't lose someone they care about.
Better idea: he had no clue that he’s even dating anyone
Nah bro he just thought they didn’t mean a serious relationship, they just meant super best friends.
Also his starting Persona is Orpheus who managed to make everybody fall in love with him with his songs
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.
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.
thought this was canon kKKDKFJDJF
I mean he kinda says something like this in his Ultimax ending. he thinks to himself in his cell his reasoning for everything he did, and how after he got caught he decided to play by society’s rules instead of his own. Then he gets a visit from Dojima considering how stubborn he is then how Dojima and maybe Narukami are his only friends before it ends on him thinking “maybe having bonds isn’t so bad” as he’s having a nice visitation with Dojima
Why must you make me like Adachi again.
I also came up with a headcanon that if you run out of time to save Nanako, adachi goes in and saves her
The God of Taxes in Persona 6 would be hilarious. Especially since he would be defeated by high schoolers. You know who doesn't pay taxes? High schoolers
VAT and Sales Tax.
And Jeff Bezos
Technically their parents pay the taxes
I definitely paid tax in high school
My headcannon is that Nanako dances around the house and sings really loud when nobody's home
So, what we've all done at lease once.
EVERYDAYS GREAT AT YOUR JUUUUNNNEEEEESSSS
I do this
Then ya got older Nanako getting bored one day and doing some old dances she remembers... then like Naoto comes to check on her.
THOSE LONG DAYS PASSING BY FROM THE DOOR! LIKE LATE SUMMERS THEY SLOWLY FADE AWAY!!
Ichinose: Ren do you have your Bluetooth on?
Ren: I already said I do, just Airdrop Sophia to me already
Ren turned on his airdrop the second he learned that Sophia could be downloaded
Akechi had monologues tailor made to every Phantom Thieves member for when he would kill them but had to throw them out when he learned Joker was alive.
Where can I find that?

@@bobby2bend Yukari: "Guys, you promised me that recording would just take one week at the most

Nanako: "It would take one week if KEN DIDN'T TRY TO HAVE FEATHER BLACK GO THROUGH THE CHARACTER ARC OF HIM LEARNING TO NOT BE SUCH A LONER FOR THE THIRD MOVIE IN A ROW"
Ken: "IT'S HIS MOST DEFINING CHARACTER TRAIT"

@@---oq5kb It's not romantic! He's basically a baby sitter!
@@bippythechippy882 I am not saying it's romantic or anything, he just looks... well so mature considering how old he actually is. Does he have his childish moment in arena games too?
Sojiro keeps a shotgun behind the counter. This is my headcanon, nobody can convince me otherwise.
He almost brought it out when Sae and Futaba's uncle tried to interrogate him.
When the twins called him the god-slayer, they knew what was up
Hooooo boy you better settle down before i give you a side of iron with your curry

Head cannon: Yusuke is god himself. He just doesn’t know that he is or anyone else around him because they think he’s weird
God? You mean YHVH? Then he's the bad guy.
Ah yes Haruhi Suzumiya but Yusuke
The Melancholy of Yusuke Kitakawa
@@ajkhan1115 no no. There is like... a god GOD who is beyond GOD.
@@mrcakeday1439 Yusuke is The Great Will in human form.
My head cannon is that Ann and ryuji dated In middle school and agree to never speak of it
This looks pretty canon
@@thomascg4907 yeah seems accurate
This, and they dont talk about it because it was an awkward phase, but I’d like to think when they’re alone they like to poke/tease/hint about it indirectly and are pretty chill about it in some unsaid way
and it was like weird middle school dating where they held hands like twice
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.
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).
@@nocebo5792 they could also do what they did with Adachi in Ultimax
Speaking of the Thoth deck, I'm really wondering why no one thought to make Master Therion an Aeon persona in P3 or 4 since (at least according to the boxes I saw in New Orleans) he's literally the guy who made that deck!
But he died after royal?
Edit: ok there was that post-credits scene, but i fon't think that was meant to be taken literally.
@@nocebo5792 You missed a lot of character details. I'm guessing you didn't pursue his confidant or pay much attention.
headcanon: The music associated with respected persona games are the genres the protagonists listen to ( makoto likes hip hop, Yu likes pop or indie i think?, and joker likes jazz)
Headcanon Denied, reason:
Persona 3 Portable, FeMC goes to Inaba, Persona 4's music plays
Persona 4/Persona 4 Golden Yu Narukami Goes to Iwatodai, Persona 3's music plays.
@@WednesdayMan correction: what if that is what the protag's town/place of residence listens to and the protag just got stuck with it?
@@ethanschwarzenberg7716 not sure, but Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Establishes that the music is tied to the location.
@@WednesdayMan so maybe there's some kind of radio?
@@ethanschwarzenberg7716 Not sure. but if Persona 6 does happen and it goes to Tokyo at some point for a field trip you can expect Persona 5 music to be playing.
In regards to Ryuji and the f-word scene, I have my own head canon. Sophia was called useless right? Well that is Ryuji's trigger word, and his abusive father used to call him useless all the time, hence his explosion when he heard a friend being called useless.
I thought useless was Makoto's trigger word for after Sae calls her that in p5
I think most of the P5 cast are triggered in some way by being called useless.
Can you imagine trying to survive life, doing your best to not be a burden but people keep calling you useless because you can't/won't do what THEY want you to do?
It always bothered me in strikers how the villains were much less evil than they were in the base game but they still get called out almost as much
Oh man I can't believe I missed this. Mine would've been "Joker is the son of a Yakuza. It explains why he knows how to fight with knives and use guns near immediately."
HOLY SHIT
I’m pretty sure Ann, Yusuke and Sumire don’t have experience with their metaverse weapons of choice either, so I assume it’s part of how the Metaverse works, such as how Joker probably can’t do his acrobatic feats outside palaces
@@rattyxoxo7397 i like to think Ann is just flailing madly, Yusuke is just *like that*, and Sumire is wielding her sword like a gymnastics baton/ribbon.
@@MarioGMan25 for me, Yusuke just saw a ton(And I mean, a *TON* )of samurai movies for the cinematografy and also has some knowledge on sword to know if the moves are realistic, so when he found out about how his weapon was a sword, he was *like in the simulations*
@@rattyxoxo7397 Ann mentions in Mementos that she insta learnt how to whip after summoning her persona
Joker supposedly carried knives tho
I can actually believe Ryuji dyeing his hair to make Ann not feel bad, cuz while he might be a dumbass he sure as hell has a heart of gold.
Headcanon: Persona 6 will have a nautical theme, with the Mementos equivalent being the Sea of Souls. The Velvet Room will be the Velvet Cabana, where Igor wears a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, and sandals. The plant life of the Cabana will grow as your S-Links progress.
I mean you were kinda right
Head cannon: the Reason the Holy grail split Lavenza was so there can be two Velvet room attendants thus allowing there to be two wild cards in the same game
Interesting and perhaps Caroline could be Akechi’s while Joker gets Justine if Akechi could access the Velvet Room.
He only formed one social link so he only could summon his own arcana and the protag's
I'll add another random headcanon: Wild Duck Burger went broke after Big Bang Burger started to get big.
at the beginning of P5 a wild duck burger employee was going around naked or something like that and they did in fact went broke after this.

What if it’s Cognitive Makoto that’s singing Whims of Fate?
Another headcanon: Ideal and the Real isn't just game BGM, it's an actual song Maruki plays in his office to help people relax. Kawakami walked in on him dancing to it once.

The title of Detective Prince is given after a Highlander duel. There can only be one.
About the Kirijo group not getting involved, my headcanon is that Shido was very well aware of what they could do to his plans if they got involved, so he drowned them in red tape to make sure they couldn't interfere.
They try to get Koromaru to investigate since he's a dog and technically not on paper as a Shadow Operative but sadly he has no phone to access the metaverse.
I like this headcanon
The god of taxes can be stopped because i dont pay my taxes

@@rotciv557 Or Turnip Boy. After all, Yoshi only evaded his taxes, Turnip Boy evaded his taxes and beat a god.
Everyone is so bundled up during the third semester in P5R because Maruki solved global warming.
Makoto, Kotone, Yu and Ren birthdays are the days their game release in Japan.
Well there goes my idea of making them all have my birthday. They'd be a late riser in Japan but my birthday is always within the first grading period (which is about 9 weeks).
Adding to the Nyx is unstoppable headcanon thing.
The person being able to destroy Nyx could have been Maruki if his reality completly manifest. He could erase death as a concept since it makes people unhappy.
But yeah the protagonists of P3 could only seal it away.
this was my headcanon on why the kirijo group never showed up in persona 5: they found shadow activity in tokyo and traced it to the metaverse but shido found out about this and to keep inducing mental shutdowns in p5, he used his connections to prevent them from getting leeway to figure out what was happening
Yeah because Akechi probably found out they also have Personas. And good chance he has both Shadow Operatives and Investigation Team on his ass.
ah, i think i saw a fic with a similar idea!
I think they just didn’t get access to the nav because of fake Igor
I like to think that the Shadow Ops knew that about the existence of the Metaverse, but had no way to actually get inside (unlike the TV World, you've got no way to enter the Metaverse without the Navigation app). They also knew that both the shutdowns and the Phantom Thieves had a connection to Shadows and Personas, but were unable to actually find the Phantom Thieves' identities. Partly because of Shido's interference, but even without that, Tokyo is a really big city. Finding a small group of people with basically zero leads (until December, and it was too late by then) in a city like that is pretty hard, no matter what resources you have access to.
@@creativename1673 so with most events taking place in Shibuya and stuff regarding people like Madarame and kamashido taking place at Shujin academy ended up being announced on public tv, none of the shadow operatives watched tv and didn’t think of to go to specifically Shibuya ???
Also after P4AU wasn’t it hinting that the shadow operatives were slowly disbanding ???
Katsuya from Persona 2 and Zenkichi from Persona 5 Strikers are around the same age and know each other in their younger years in the Police Force.

Mitsuru: Let me see.
*pulls up a picture of Satanael popping a cap in Yaldy's ass*

Here’s my headcanon that goes all the way back to Persona 2; Baofu is Futaba’s biological father.
Think about it; Baofu’s Ultimate Persona is named Prometheus, Futaba’s Ultimate Persona is named Prometheus.
They share interests; Baofu is a hacker and wiretapper who was extremely online back when that was unusual. Does that sound like anyone?
Look at their hair; Futaba’s hair is basically the same as his, just dyed orange.
Look at the timeline; Futaba’s is born in 2001, 2 years after Persona 2.
Look at the coincidence; Baofu and Sojiro share a voice actor in Japan.
They also look very similar, essentially implying Wakaba had a type.
Then how do you explain him being absent from Futaba’s childhood up to 2016-17?
@@rayvenkman2087 Because Wakaba never told him, he was never even aware he had a kid in the first place. She decided to raise her kid on her own because she didn’t think he would make a good parent, which… considering Baofu’s whole personality and backstory, may have been a good choice.
The thing that makes me doubt this is that it’s heavily implied that Baofu ends up in a relationship with Ulala, so unless Baofu cheated on her, him being Futaba’s father is unlikely
@@dededeletethis9940 I had considered this! I kind of assumed it happened between the events of the game and when he actually got with her, because I’m gonna be honest, I’m not sure he could get his shit together fast enough to immediately get into a new long term relationship.
To extend on that P3MC remembering PQ and PQ2, it'd be pretty cool if you combine that with a headcanon that he left a final message for everyone after he passed, to make the idea that he left a letter for Yu and Joker dated for the future, requesting for Mitsuru to send them the letters at the right time.
And it starts: "To friends that can't remember me/To friends that haven't met me...
NOOOOO IM SAD NOW this is very possible... and then Joker and Yu somehow meet up later on in the future due to the letters coming from Minato oof
I feel that morgana is like the "velvet cousin"
The twice removed cousin that happens to be a furry
Philemon created Igor and the attendents, and Igor created Morgana, so he's more of a velvet nephew
@@sparkydoingthings9244 Wouldn’t that would make him a grandson?
My headcanon was that Joker was from Inaba before he got sent to Tokyo.
The god of taxes in Persona 6 is just the IRS.
it's just yakuza but they also dont personas

I'm late but might as well show mine
Yosuke's route in p4a is the "canon one" with chie agreeing to be trained by akihiko off screen

20:46 They call him the family cat as a joke and he HATES it lol.
I have a headcanon for P5 related to music. Whenever they are in a Palace, or Jail, they have a single app on their phones, called Metaverse Radio, or something, that plays the different music. Which also explains why they music seems to fit the ruler, as their influence would also effect it.
I think that it is music that is stuck in the rulers head, hence why kamoshidas sounds like old porn music.
@@desmondcoppin591 True, doesn't discredit my idea though.
Their phones have got to have some sort of epic large ass speaker for the music to be heard because fighting off shadows has got to be loud lmao
@@caramelcamelgreengrenade8259 True, but it IS the cognitive world. Maybe they have headphones in, or, because of things like anime, their cognition makes it so the music plays around them.

Yes, Sophia is basically Joker's daughter, if he were able to speak more than his occasional one liner, he would DEFINITELY be the one to yell Sophia's name when she fell off the edge, and I wholeheartedly believe that at that one moment he would surprise everyone, including himself, with how loud he screamed, and he would definitely tell EMMA to shut the fuck up along with Ryuji.
@@clashwolf3471 "I'll let Ryuji do this one. Gives me time to calm down so I don't go AbSOlutELY BERSERK on this voice for hurting my daughter"
Headcanon: The reason why we only see Personas and shadow business seemingly only in Japan is because it is simply not known outside of it and other places around world have their own way of dealing with shadows and the like
Tying into the first Headcanon Akihiko has definitely travelled the world to become stronger after the events P3 and P4 Arena games and has met said different groups that deal with shadows all across the world
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.
Since P3 protag listens to music on his headphones that means Lotus Juice is a rapper in their world. So that means Lotus Juice will be the P6 MC it's canon no one can change my mind.
I got some.
Teddie is obsessed with "scoring with girls" because of shadow yukiko
Junpei and chidori are still dating by arena
Zenkichi is related to that one femc social link who is also called hasegawa (i can't remember her first name, it's either saori or rio)
The nanjo group has similar anti-shadow tech to the kirijo group
Naoto spiked the drinks in club escapade
Teddie eventually gets officially adopted by the hanamuras
Tatsuya sudou is the reaper
Natsumes novel, prince of nightmares, has a hot springs scene
P3 mc and femc are siblings (perhaps even twins, twins can look differently), but femc was taken to an orphanage because their parents could only afford to care for one child. The documents on what orphanage it was got destroyed in the car crash, which means that now no one knows where she is
The tv world is just inaba's version of mementos, and each town/city/region has a different manifestation of the collective subconscious
If necronomicon had a combat mode like what himiko got in ultimax, it would become a tome that futaba can cast spells with
Different places having their own collective unconscious depending on what being is interfering or the mass cognition/desire would be a nice idea and explain why P5S’s penitentiary system never left Japan despite villain name redacted constantly talking how it would effect the entire world eventually but was currently restricted to single cities
I am loving that one about Naoto spiking the drinks at the club. That is such a smart move in her part.
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.
Man, you showed him more love with one comment than Atlus did with any game.
@@franconunez925 Nah. What you said would've been true before Strikers. But ATLUS gave Ryuji the F word pass. So they've given him A SHIT TON of love.
Imagine if Shido was Ryuji’s dad too.
Bro is just everyone’s dad
Akechi? Check
Futaba? Check
Ryuji? Check.
Ann? Check.
Makoto? Nah, he’s the mom.
Haru? See above.
Joker? Both.
Headcannons:
Joker either becomes a politician(due to yoshida and shido) or involved in psychology(due to maruki)
Akechi only had 2 persona become he was too stubborn to recruit any shadow and didn’t have the velvet room to fuse any.
The 3rd option is the “cannon” option since it reflected the MC’s personality the most
I always took robinhood as loki disguising himself as robinhood instead of them being entirely separate personas
The Persona games, anime, and Mangas all take place in different universe
Proven not canon lmao
Yeah Shadow Yu, which originated in the anime was in Arena
At least Manga doesn't.
From what I heard, they changed the ending of p3 in the Manga adaptation. The protag doesn't have his... big moment at the end.
@@bippythechippy882 it's a reused concept.

Wait wasnt that a shapeshifter
I fucking love the idea of Ichinose and Maruki hooking up. It’s a perfect fit and would be a crazy addition, when the reformed villains save the day or something
Adding the headcanon of Maruki’s Palace attire being a wedding suit and the Palace being his dreams of helping people through his research realised, that makes Sophie a wish of Maruki’s granted by being a father while Ichinose is his second chance of having a soulmate without having tragedy to take it away from him again.
I'm imagining Yosuke as CEO of Junes meeting Haru as CEO of Okumura Foods and partnering up
My HC is that Igor is locked in the cell next to Joker and no one notices
Yaldabaoth has a painted tarp up like those Roadrunner cartoons so Caroline and Justine don’t notice with their shit depth perception
The earlier Velvet Room attendees; Nameless, Belladona, Igor, and Demon Painter are all equal in standing because they serve Philemon. The later attendees serve Igor instead.
I like to think nameless belladona and demon painter serve to other wildcards in "other" velve rooms, and they all have asistents with diferent colored outfits ( like how all igor asistents use blue clothes, but instead using other colors )
@@jeronimomartinezcalsina7690 that's a nice theory. I like that.
If Maruki's actualization brought back Makoto Yuki, who was holding back Nyx? Did Maruki actualize a new being to act as the seal? Did Maruki's actualization straight up erase Nyx from existence so Makoto Yuki could be with his friends
The new seal is king moron.
He wouldn’t be able to kills Nyx.
He would be able to get rid of the need for the seal i.e all of humanity no longer desiring death.
@@nickbarlas5544 he does pretty much spit in the face of all that though. "Death is inevitable"?
Maruki: bitch you thought.
Anyway doing that pretty much kills Erebus does it not? So no need for a seal even if I remember correctly as at that point it wouldn't matter if Nyx's body and mind remerged as she would no longer be malevolent.
Also could he have created a world where Nyx never crashed into Planet Earth. If those that remember him wished for Makoto Yuki back could he potentially have made that so as Nyx's existence on earth is what lead to him eventually becoming the seal. Would it end up being in like Adventure Time when I believe Finn wished the Lych never even existed. It simply caused the bomb that created him to never go off but it changed the world completely, would maruki's power be able to cause Nyx to miss earth, yeah there'd be no moon but hey there wasn't one before her either
I mean it took Nyx an entire year to descend in P3. Maybe she's slowly coming free from the seal and apathy syndrome is slowly coming back but no one notices because of Maruki's power.
Or something like that idk lol
His power kills Erebus every millisecond so it can’t call nyx
The seal is no longer needed
Some of Yosuke’s magazines used to belong to his dad.
Ren begrudgingly accepts the TrickStar CD at the end of Royal, but is actually a Risette stan.
Jose is a sneak peek at the truth of the Velvet Attendant’s existence, which will be revealed in Persona 6. 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.
Nanako’s friends have asked the Investigation Team to beat up other kids. Teddie accepted once and ended up getting beat up himself.
Ren is really into beginner level magic tricks.
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.
43:49 I'm pretty sure in Izanami's dungeon, she actually says/implies that Namatame failed to awaken his own Izanagi
Would he have had a Magatsu Izanagi as well?
@@Kamisuitendo Well, seeing that Yu didn't get Magatsu-Izanagi himself, and that Adachi and Namatame had different Sagiri, I'd say that Namatame probably got something different from Izanagi and Magatsu-Izanagi, what that would be though, I have no clue.
@@unholy5948 I don't know what it could've been
@@Kamisuitendo Being that his dungeon Heaven I imagine it being an Izanagi with Izanagi no Okami colors
Reading this comment made me think about how adachi awakened magatsu izanagi
My headcanons are:
Nameless and Belladonna still play the Velvet Room music but prefer to keep themselves neutral and hidden to not draw attention to themselves and be involved.
Jose was created by Philemon to study humans.
Iwai, Tsuda, Kaneshiro and the Yakuza Cleaner are all part of the Tojo Clan from the Yakuza series.
Shiho moves and attends Nekoma High (Haikyuu!) and becomes a member of the girls volleyball team as she recovers from her trauma and regains a love for volleyball.
Ren's hometown is near Sumaru City.
Ren and Vincent Brooks from Catherine are distant relatives.
Akechi's highschool is called Jiyuu High/Academy (Jiyuu means freedom).
Yu became a prosecutor and has faced Sae as a lawyer in court post P5. Also encountered the Ace Attorney cast.
Junpei passed on being a professional baseball player to be a little leagues baseball coach cause he wanted to remain in contact with his friends as well as be a more direct positive influence for kids to teach them to live life to the fullest kinda like Yukari being on Neo Featherman as Feather Pink.
Kei Nanjo is financially backing Mitsuru's Shadow Operatives Unit and supports them from behind the scenes in being on the government's good side.
Boy with Earring/ Naoya's backstory with his twin brother from the manga actually happened.
btw, it IS canon that Nameless and Belladonna still play the velvet room music.
we just don't see them.
I really want the last want to be canon, the history of Naoya and Kazuya is really great
Lol, one of my fave headcannon is when Shido's calling card is being broadcasted, all previous persona users are either going batshit crazy, gobsmacked, or just applauding them with respect🤣🤣
Like, when it airs, they would instinctively _know_ it's some persona bullshit, and goes "what the fuck is wrong with the new gen users?!?!" all the while Mitsuru is having a headache in Kirijo HQ dealing with the aftemath, cause Kirijo Group is probably the only one who keeps tabs on them, so they're all going to demand her for explanation~
P1-P4: Secretly saving humanity cause we bear the burden of one with power, and we didn't want to endanger anyone
P5: LISTEN UP BIOCH!!! WE'RE HERE TO SAVE YOU BECAUSE WE'RE AWSOME AND GOVERMENT SUCKS!!!! ALSO, FACK DA POLICE!!!!
The lotus juice one is actually canon. It's shown that the music in the game is what he has downloaded on his mp3 player and he's just always listening to it
Also, mass destruction played in the club during that Persona 4 scene
@@DezuFuck wasn't it the FES opening?
@@LckD008 Actually yeah

I was also pretty certain Ryuji dyed his hair because of Ann but I don’t remember where that idea came from
I believe it's only stated that he dyed hair because he wanted to rebel, but it's a cute idea to think that he did it for Ann
@@agentofstars2667 maybe he wanted to dye it to rebel but chose blonde because of Ann
@@agentofstars2667 Dying your hair blonde is seen as the stereotypically rebellious thing to do in Japan, hence why Kanji also has dyed hair.
yeah Ann x Ryuji is pog
Kawakami "i see you still haven't dyed your hair back to black" Ryuji"sorry about that"
Here's mine.
The very night that Naoto appeared on the Midnight Channel, Kanji broke into Junes and went into the Shadow World alone to rescue her. By coincidence, he found her dungeon and made it all the way to the boss, just to immediately get Garudyne'd so hard that he flew all the way back to the Shadow World exit and hit his head on the way out, forgetting everything. Naoto remembered him trying to rescue her, which is why she was so comfortable with him in the anime.
This is funny, adorable and in-character all at once. As a big fan of Kanji, i approve
The monarch of the Okinawa jail was ABSOLUTELY an ex Kirijo group member.
Various persona users from past games download EMMA and fight their way out of the jails
I love the headcanon that sumires phone was just broken so she missed the invite and all the events of strikers because of that,and akechi is ya know presumed dead by everyone except maybe ren
Isn’t it a thing that Sumire’s phone is shit because she’s using Kasumi’s phone, which got fucked up by the car accident?
Pretty sure in TS, after she starts going by Sumire, it stops doing that
The versions of your teammates that you fight along with in the challenges are cognitive doubles of them
I'm pretty sure this is stated by Caroline/Justine/Lavenza
@@proximity1105 You may be right about that
A headcanon: the way that Jose has similarities to the velvet room and how he talks about his master may be eluding to the fact that Elizabeth might be training him so she can go on her own journey for the p3mc.
I think that one with Morgana and the Deadly Sins is intentional, as in the Vanilla opening he appears on Futaba's screen with the Latin names of the Sins inserted on top of him
After his death is vanilla P5, Akechi is given a second chance by Igor since Igor would feel bad about Akechi being a pawn.
This would lead to the events of P5R, which would explain why he was more outgoing in the social link.
This would be kinda sad because Akechi getting a second chance, but still going down the same path (pre-third sem) meant that he probably knew he had some sort of choice to change his path but still went down the same way and all that
Ryuji bleaching his hair so that Ann doesn't stand out?
That could just actually be the reason why anyway.
Those lobsters yusuke bought either died cos they dont breathe air (well... probably) or he then had to buy a fish tank for them and feed them thus making him (more) broke. Because Yusuke is Yusuke, you know he's not just springing for a fish tank and being done with it, he'll have to make it into a visually pleasing scene with a balanced composition. He's buying all kinds of stuff for this lobster tank...
Yukiko is secretly into Sho because his persona is Tsukoyomi (Tsukoyomi being Amateratsu's husband)
1. Yukiko’s persona is Konohanasakuya-hime who is technically Amaterasu’s daughter in law/granddaughter in law
2. *if you actually READ the legend is said Amaterasu divorced Tsukuyomi and practically wrote him out most things/banished him for a while after he killed a food goddess*
@@Pokemaster-wg9gx ah yes i forgot about the part.where he did that, it was because he didnt like the food or something

15:40 The impression I got was that she did know, she was just in complete, conscious denial that it was in fact happening, and the dissonance between her knowing full well what's happening and also trying to deny it with all her might was what made her cry.
Now I’m crying even harder fuck
I just wanna know why Aigis even HAS tear ducts in the first place.
My p5 head cannon is that when joker summoned satanael while facing off yaldabaoth he was just as strong as Philemon since humanity is backing him.
My headcanon: Shido and his pals were somoehow able to actively keep the Kirijo Group off their backs.
Since mine didn't make it I'll put it again: Succubus is just an Angel that broke free. Angel is blindfolded and bound in chains, and since they have similar body types, I think if an angel gets tired of forceful prudence, it becomes a free, and promiscuous succubus
that isn't a Persona headcanon. and since when do modern SMT angel designs have any prudence?

Realizing Futaba would 100% be a vtuber fan has shattered my mind
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.
Here my head cannon: the persona protagonist are universe reincarnation of the smt protagonist.
What about the idea that the protagonists' grandparents are the actual smt protagonists who travel to the persona dimension to start their own family. They are the ones who secretly guide the protag in their journey that is why the persona protagonists in some universe are very good wildcards when they are at the beginning of their journey
My crack theory isn't that Persona is derived from SMT (in-universe).
It's the opposite.
Persona is the prequel series to SMT.
Wakaba and Ichinose's research leads to Stephen inventing the terminals, encountering a Shadow he can't communicate with because he's never been to the collective unconscious, and everything else goes from there.
There's a lot to this crack theory of mine, and I'd need more space than a YT comment t properly explain.
@@demi-femme4821 yeah like how persona bad ending are basically the beginning of the smt games.
@Brea Regans how ironic to put this in a comment thread about SMT
my really dumb persona 5 headcanon is that yusuke is either related or somewhat linked to the demon painter. it explains how he can replicate skill cards!
It's late, but here's mine: Persona 4 characters are helping their friends accept their inner demons, while Persona 5 characters fight people who are more and more aware and accepting of their inner "secret side". It's even explained in P5 that the more aware they are of it the more real their palace becomes. P5 characters change their clothing because the palace owners consider them a threat. P4 "palace owners" on the other hand consciously want to be saved and are not as hosile. My headcanon is that, if they were actively trying to fight them, like palace owners in P5, P4 characters would also change into some sort of Phantom Thieves attire/ Metaverse clothes.
(btw. I know P5 outfits are there purely for aesthetics, but it's a fun little thought)
My headcannon for MC's not being able to make higher level Persona's is that if they do, the SMT demons will consume their soul and essentially possess them. I imagine the MC and the rest of the cast training to overcome this, which is why they're so exhausted after awakening. It would explain why Joker acts differently based on which DLC Persona is equipped, and even some bad endings. Just some food for thought.
This is actually outright stated, point blank, to be the case in at least the modern games. I can't remember what the Attendants say exactly in their respective games, as usually its a piece of offhand dialogue (abd I also can't be half assed to search it up) but to paraphrase, its something along the lines that the power is too much, and I believe Justine/Caroline at least, say that it would consume you, or something to that effect. Its vague, I believe, but it does seem to be heavily implied that trying to 'equip' a higher level Persona wouldn't work out well. This is also very heavily correlated with what we know about Persona's and their natures, too. They are, after all, just tamed Shadow Selves. If you assume that a 'level' in Persona represents a person/protag-kun becoming mentally and morally 'stronger', in a abstract sense, then, well, it isnt difficult to imagine that the Persona would revert to being a Shadow due to the person being unable to keep it under control. I don't think it would or could 'possess' you, per say, but still would be a big issue.
isn't that why that group in p3 that had their persona forcefully awakened slowly died? they got their persona but weren't ready/strong enough and therefore consumed
I know this is an old comment but it is pretty much canon. As far back as Persona 1 people who weren't strong enough to control their Persona go insane or die. Plus we saw this happen in game with Elizabeth where she tried to summon Zeus and ended up getting possessed by him (and Zeus was just one level above her so imagine the strain Ren takes when he can fuse Lvl 99 Persona at like level 35).
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.
This is amazing! And hey sega owns both franchises so how knows.
Yosuke as a businessman in p5 arena would literally just be answer from guilty gear
My two favorite headcannons are:
Ren's hometown he got arrested in was Inaba
and (I got this one from a phantom thief Ken fic) the reason the Shadow Operatives never got involved in Tokyo was that Shido used his influence to put up a shit ton of red tape in Tokyo so that the Shadow Ops couldn't even set foot there
