I think what helps his case is that he doesn't fall into full on creep territory. Yeah he's still a horny degenerate but he keeps it JUST classy enough that he's OUR horny degenerate
@@Apolleh Not only that, but she probably wouldn't be as shrewd about "beaming a porno mag into his eye". ABIS is really handicapping themselves by keeping those two separate.
I think it works partly because he’s into older women and occasionally, mildly hits on iris (who’s 18 in this game). And he prefers older women who are…‘experienced’.😏
Kotaro Uchikoshi really challenged himself to write the sort of protagonist that the MST3K crew would spend an entire movie ragging on for being a loser.
Reika is based on one of Uchikoshi's co-worker's girlfriend. If you go to Japan and visit him and ask to show you who Reika is based on, he said he'd gladly do that (I got it off the wiki so sorry if it's not 100% true)
The funniest thing is when Ota thinks that Date is gonna make a move on him and he's happy. That's the most gay thing that he has done and it's also the last one.
AI Somnium files spoilers: Reminder that this is the same man who went around doing vigilante justice and murdering criminals, before ending up as a Yakuza assassin.
Gotta wonder how his relationship with Hitomi will evolve. The constantly gloomy and suffering Hayato now has cast his past aside and become the pervert he was always ment to be, had he lived a nicer childhood. He's pretty much like Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom.
Date and Hitome together is so cursed even years after the full game I still feel the cute cursery of a crazy perv like Date and such a sweet women like Hitome.
@@DylanJo123 Ironically he’d have low t levels due to SPOILERS The fact his brain is unable to secrete oxytocin is due to a defective pituitary gland, which also controls testosterone.
Fun fact: When asked about if Date and Sigma would bone, Uchikoshi denied this claim. Not because different games or that they didn't swing that way. But because Sigma's 'baguette' was too big to fit in Date's 'toaster' I Am Not Joking
for those who might not know, in the original dragon ball, there is a character who wishes for panties (so it's both a reference, and Date being a hopeless perv)
The hilarious thing about 3:05 is that was the one time Date was NOT trying to make a dirty joke lol, but it comes off as perverted anyway. He even says as much when Aiba berates him. 😂Also lol wait Date why would you be happier if it was "D"? Date are you saying you also like men? Not that there's anything wrong with that lol. Aw man, you didn't include the best part though. At the end when Date (back in his original body) sniffs the shoebox at the Sagan Residence if you click on it, and Hitomi just laughs and says he did that the first time he was there as well. 😂
Friend of mine after seeing some Al content: “This is a pervert game. So that's why you want to play the 2nd game." Me: "What?! No! I mean, yes, it is a pervert game, but that's not the reason I wanna play it!”

Kaname Date is a rare example of likable pervert character
How
@@Milk-ck1wv because shit is hilarious
Ngl I don't think its as rare as you think lol
There are annoying ones, but quite a lot can be likable
I think what helps his case is that he doesn't fall into full on creep territory. Yeah he's still a horny degenerate but he keeps it JUST classy enough that he's OUR horny degenerate
Yeah he's a pervert, but he's not doing anything that creepy like sneaking into the girl's locker room. He just tends to speak with his inside voice.
Hearing BEST daughter Mizuki say "cuckoldry" was surprisingly the most flabbergasted I've been playing that game. 🤣
He and Tama would get along well, but they would never get any work done.
Agreeed
Amen
On the contrary, with how assertive Tama can be she'd kick his ass into such a high gear that the two would be unstoppable
@@Apolleh Not only that, but she probably wouldn't be as shrewd about "beaming a porno mag into his eye". ABIS is really handicapping themselves by keeping those two separate.
@@Apolleh idk coz Tama is super assertive normally but super submissive in dream. Really interesting dynamic she has with Ryuki lol.
One of the few characters who makes being a huge pervert not only plot relevant but hilariously endearing.
I think it works partly because he’s into older women and occasionally, mildly hits on iris (who’s 18 in this game).
And he prefers older women who are…‘experienced’.😏
@@lunartears6761 tbf the only “younger” woman in the game is Iris… and Mizuki but that’s another can of worms
@@lunartears6761 who is miraculously more innocent than mizuki...
@@PsychSoldier756 isnt mizuki his adoptive daughter (confirmed in nirvana initiative)
@@irisblink yea she is, which makes it even more messed up
Kotaro Uchikoshi really challenged himself to write the sort of protagonist that the MST3K crew would spend an entire movie ragging on for being a loser.
the biggest crime of this game is not letting us see reika
Reika lore was the best part of the game, hands down
What do you mean? We see Reika a bunch of times in the Sejima estate garden!
Reika is based on one of Uchikoshi's co-worker's girlfriend. If you go to Japan and visit him and ask to show you who Reika is based on, he said he'd gladly do that (I got it off the wiki so sorry if it's not 100% true)
The biggest crime is not being able to change Date's outfit, the man is a fashion disaster.
@@mikevignola4213 what is with that goofy looking coat-turtleneck thing
The funniest thing is when Ota thinks that Date is gonna make a move on him and he's happy.
That's the most gay thing that he has done and it's also the last one.
He also asks kagami out on a date
also when Ota asks for Date to stay with him in the hospital... surprisingly fruity of him
Amd then nirvana initiative happened with him and ryukis "physical relationship"
@@alikouwu lmaoo yeah what did he even mean by that
@@DreamyDiamondin my opinion, otas asked date to sleep with him knowing he wouldnt accept so he could ask the boss

Imagine dying to this guy. Perverted.... possible panty thief by day, Assassin by night.
Technically: SPOILER ALERT
He was a cop by day and an assassin by night
Spoilers:
He must be getting some kind of oxytocin overdose...
Date is true male fantasy
GREG CHUN I'M CRYING THIS IS A BLESSING
thank you greg chun for your service
@@mieu02 Yup, absolutely based
i am losing my shit this man is insane
God.. Dammit, Date.
We love our cyclops detective, but he is a basket case.
Now I miss playing as Date. What a legend.
For real, i loved mizuki but ryuki was boring
@@blackwolf4766 ryuki route was the highlight of the entire game to be honest
@@manufacturedfromabove79 i mean im probably exaggerating, he wasn’t that bad, but still nowhere near date’s level
@@blackwolf4766 date was a great protagonist but ryuki has far more potential if i being real
@@manufacturedfromabove79 sorry, i disagree, i respect your opinion tho
Criminally underviewed
For a mystery game it’s amount of pervert comedy is astounding.😂
this video reminded me of how much i love this game
date is the best man
RELEASE DATE
from jail
That’s ok let’s break him out of jail
When's the release date for releasing Date
He's so full of it it's amazing
Lmao the mum so dense it's adorable
The innuendos are gold
The fact you can abandon the mission for Arami is hilarious
Date is really that gooner that you keep around because he's chill af
It's funny how ota and date are both perverts but date is the only likeable one out of those two
He gets away with it because of his looks
To be fair, Date isn't a unemployed leech that spends all his ill mother's money on e-girls and maid cafes.
@@darcyjoshua7201 His immaculate voice helps too
Plus bro has a whole actual job/skills unlike Ota
@@azophiDoesn’t Ota get a part-time job at the end of the game? Granted, it’s just being a janitor, but at least it’s a step forward.
THIS IS TRULY AMAZING OMG
Most protagonists: Shy pitiful virgins.
Date: I say what I want cuz IDGAF.
"I wish...for panties."
God damn it. Not again lol
Ikr?
Date and Hitome together is so cursed even years after the full game I still feel the cute cursery of a crazy perv like Date and such a sweet women like Hitome.
Date makes Sigma Klim look chaste in comparison
I've played the Zero Escape series and you are so right! 😂
Funnily enough, come NI we find out he really did have cooking magazines hidden under the rug.
4:07 love the VLR reference! I’m positive Date and Sigma would be total Bros!
I’m tempted to play the game a third time man
he’s such a fail cringe guy
dayum he reaally is a perv this is pure gold love the humor hell thank the devs too
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIMMMMMMM
he needs to be studied
It can be actually explained why, but it would like spoil the whole story:D
No I've played it several times. I'm still just in awe at how fucked up he is
Incredibly high t levels
@@DylanJo123 Ironically he’d have low t levels due to
SPOILERS
The fact his brain is unable to secrete oxytocin is due to a defective pituitary gland, which also controls testosterone.
I love this man
[5:12] I don't think this one counts since it's a _Terminator_ reference.
"Your clothes. Give them to me."
2:32 “A sounding system… meowwww.” 😂every time I hear something about a sound system from that game that’s all I can think about
Imagine if Date got Tama instead
No work would ever get done
That true no work would be done at all
No, they'd complete work at light speed and leave to watch lewd videos
Their combined power would destroy abis and maybe even the world, a perpetucally horny date is an invincible Date.
Maybe that’s why Ryuki got Tama
How to dodge bullets: porno mag...okay
I'm starting to see why Aiba left him lol
My new favorite video. Date is hillarious, I want to see a meeting between him and Sigma
Fun fact: When asked about if Date and Sigma would bone, Uchikoshi denied this claim. Not because different games or that they didn't swing that way. But because Sigma's 'baguette' was too big to fit in Date's 'toaster'
I Am Not Joking

@@Apolleh w h a t
@@irisblinkit’s real I have screenshots of the twitter thread
I never played this game but now I wish I did before I got spoiled
At least there's a second one now to play
This video doesn't spoil anything relevant to the plot. Besides, it's not linear and the footage is from different routes.
@@UltimusTerminusI don’t think he ever specified on what he got spoiled by.
He's just based.
I respect it
I love him so much
Concerning
@@Milk-ck1wv i would say: based.
@@SirBucelotte he a perv
Bro I can’t believe he shares the same voice actor as Ike from Fire Emblem. My childhood is ruined 😂
Or Yagami Takayuki
Jail time for date
I love this game
I guess I’m Ryuki because I’m so gay for Date
just like me fr
for those who might not know, in the original dragon ball, there is a character who wishes for panties (so it's both a reference, and Date being a hopeless perv)
after watching this video, I got the first game and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever played. god bless
8:07 segment is driving up a wall Date is hilarious
hes amazing
2:03 it always kills me that at 2:07 it just says "let's go"
3:31 this hits different when you know the ending...
This is the first time I've heard the dialogue for this game
1:48 🤣Hitomi, stay innocent! Please! It’s better this way!
He may be down bad but he’s stoping others from breaking bad
Absolutely based

5:12 ghost in the shell reference
I remember watching CohhCarnage with the magazine on the island xD
1:23 why is he so cute lol
2:25 relatable
No you ain't, you're the god of bread probably.
Someone get this guy a girlfriend already! It's been 4 years of no smex! He's so smexually deprived even flowers are sexy! 🤣
Let this man cook

Got a notebook and took notes... I’m making it out the hood

what 0 🐱 does to a guy
5:04
Great game
Lets go!
Ima get the 0 dollar one is it rlly good or nah?
in my honest opinion i should have been something like date and tama and then ryuki with aiba they just fit for each other lmfao
he does
It will be Dates fault people will have dubble standards with good looking dude's like Date being a pervert! 😂
He's a man of culture
Yeah too, exceptt I feel the exact sa way i did.

Solid game if you give it a chance with a good number of twists
this is less cute in English
Funny that main protag was dubbed by same person who dubbed Yagami Takayuki
@@sanken21 I just imagined Date as Yagami the whole play through and it made the game so much funnier
English voices for this game are better than the Japanese one
