So was I To be honest the scene where the girls beat up Ryuji in my opinion is the worst scene in the game. Yes even worse than Morgana’s tempter tantrum. They complete deflate the triumph and tension for the typical Women beats up man joke. I would’ve been fine with just Ann slapping him but the fact they leave him unconscious in front of the diet building is callous and stupid. (What If one of Shido’s lackies found him?!) What could’ve been a great moment of development where the group realizes how harsh they’ve been on him in the past is just used for yet another joke at Ryuji’s expense
@@newyyyy the fact that they would've had told her a backup death like, "We were hanging out and Ryuji got shot by a criminal" or something stupid like that, featuring Ann's terrible acting that makes it a lie.
Yeah the only thing he deserved was getting smacked by Ann. After that it was completely unnecessary to beat him up after HE SAVED THEIR LIVES and then get left behind. One of the few times in the game I was like screw you guys that was messed up
I had a strong feeling they wouldn’t kill the #1 homie of the game, but I when it first happened I wasn’t sad, I was low key pressed. I was thinking to myself, WHAT THE FAWK.

Joker was so quiet and reserved compared to the girls because he probably didn't know *HOW* he should react. It's also worth noting that the lifeboat escape cut-scene is one of the few times that Joker actually talks. Joker is the one who shouts "Hang on!" to Ryuji.
Here's hoping Royal changes the scene so Ryuji's shown his well earned gratitude from the team, instead of getting knocked out and left on the street as if he didn't just risk his life to save everyone else. Edit: God dammit.
And i hope it doesnt get changed like that. I hope they will chamge this from dead Ryuji sitting next to lamp to standing Ryuji rubbing his cheek. That would be nice.
Litten Fire Or like Ann about to slap him, stopping herself at the last second and then turning it into a hug while crying that she thought he died. Dude that would have had be crying like a baby if that happened. 😭
While Ryuji didn’t deserve the beating he got, I can still understand the anger of everyone else. They thought he was DEAD, and then he casually walks up and comments on their tears like they weren’t worried to death about him. It’s mostly him not having any tact that gets him beat up and left behind (“What’s this? Your crying face is so not cute.” Was totally asking for it). Yes, he did save them, and no, he didn’t know they thought he was dead, but their emotions are going to override their sense of logic for a little bit. Even gamers felt anger- either at Ryuji or Atlus- so imagine how they felt.
It always makes me uncomfortable watching the girls seemingly pummel Ryuji knowing his history of being abused.

My favorite one isn't in here, it's from the Nyancave. Mainly because it was a livestream and it got set up perfectly. Prior to the final showdown with Shido, i sent a Monokuma themed super chat (As per their superchat setup) and asked them which Phantom Thief they would be willing to sacrifice for the cause. One of them answered Ryuji. I made sure to give them a fair Monokuma themed reminder that they must be so pleased with their choice right at the end of that cutscene.
@@soldierofkazus Well. The message asking the streamer if he was happy with his choice popped up exactly after the anime cutscene was over, to which he screamed that I did it/i.e it was my fault. Pretty funny when Ryuji appeared shortly afterwards.
Final Fantasy Peasant was me not even gonna lie. I had to put my controller down before I was emotional ready to continue. Felt genuine tears picking at my eyes too. Seriously anyone except Ryuji.
We seen people get beaten for humor so often already. Quit acting like they intentionally beat him really hard for nothing. It was a joke. Maybe you didn't like it, but they didn't abuse him I don't need to read hundreds of these stupid comments everywhere. Fix your sense of humor. You don't need to laugh, but if you can't see the difference, then something is wrong with you.
@Tum Tum so just because you see one person complain about it then nobody is allowed to say they didn't like it? You're acting like people should read all the comments first and then comment their own opinion afterwards. Like oh look at that somebody agrees with me. I better not comment that since somebody already did. Thats pretty much what you're saying. Its annoying seeing people complain about it? Well get over it. It's annoying seeing people like you complain about people complaining
Ryuji: Risks his life for the whole team Every girl in Persona 5: WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU... WE THOUGHT YOU DIED SO WE'RE GONNA BEAT YOU UP AND MAKE YOU WISHED YOU DIED
@@balabanasireti now I'm gonna stop you right there and give you my counter argument... Ryuji risked his life and was thought to have died so when he shows that he made it out alive after saving everyone else from a possible death the girl's repay him by beating him up instead of thanking for his sacrifice because Atlus thought that after a scene as impactful as that they wanted to go for something funny that ruins the girl characters plot development
You know Ryuji here is basically his persona his second persona Seiten taisen AKA Sun Wukong from Journey to the west The part of his story where he saves the Monekeys from the after life turning them Immortal
2:42 “He committed Sudoku” ahahahaha For those who don’t know, Sudoku is the game on the journals, the one which you have to complete the grill with numbers from 1 at 9 by not repeating them. He intended “Seppuku” which is the honorable suicide in feudal Japan 2:44 for the SUDOKU
I actually screamed out of relief when Ryuji was alive. He was the first confidant to get maxed and I don't regret it. Ryuji is such a bro, he deserves all the love. Oh uh no homo
When i played this, i started crying when ryuji started running. All that history with the track field team coming back to me from leveling up his confidant and just the story in general
Damn the crying from Futaba and Ann. Especially Futaba since she reminds me of my girlfriend. Their crying really hit me hard. Their voice actresses can't get enough praise for that.
I know what happened in hindsight. That first explosion is what sent him out of that palace. When the Boat was up in flames, Ryuji was already conked out on the grass.
Also, Futaba: “I don’t know how to swim!” ....didn’t....didn’t you go on the banana boat at the beach? I know for a banana boat, they’re not too far from shore and she can stand in the shallows and all, but...anyone else notice this?
You sit in one of those banana boats. You get on one not expecting to swim. Hence it being a BOAT. The fact that she can't swim has nothing to do with it. People get into boats all the time and they can't swim. Nobody gets onto a boat and thinks hmm I hope this thing doesn't sink so I have to swim
Jeffrey Thacker With a banana boat, you sit ON not IN. There is the risk of falling off. Even though she would be given a life jacket, there is that possibility of having to swim. Also, sheesh no need to be aggressive. I was just saying didn’t that sound strange, since she didn’t have any hesitation at the beach.
I literally just experienced this part tonight. When Ryuji started running, I had to hold my friend's hand (he's played this before, so he knew everything) because I was nervous something would happen to him, and then there was the explosion and I was just *gripping* my friend's hand because he's my favorite character. I can't even begin to say how relieved I was that he's okay.
I remember screaming when I thought he was gone (I freaking love that idiot), and I literally collapsed to the floor in relief when he showed up again. Like, holy shit, Atlas scared me for a minute
The worst part about this is that, since the medicine didn’t even work, this entire sequence of events was purely for comedy. What I hate about this scene is that it pretty much punished Ryuji for not dying. Ann was the only one who was justified in smacking Ryuji. Ryuji probably didn’t even think they would be crying over him. Also forgot NyanCave here.
Have to admit, i legit cried. Specially when Ann calls out ryuji Desperately. That said, while that comment on her face was uncalled for, its Ryuji. He did not deserve getting beaten up like this.
Apparently her Persona can only fit one person inside. She says in a Mementos dialogue that if there's more people inside it probably won't be able to fly.
Small brain: haha funni gurls beat up stupid Ryuji lolol Based brain: Actually though, this kid has been abused and ganged up on in a serious way in the past. Not only that, but his so-called teammates, whose lives he just saved, just left him unconscious on the street on a cold winter night to boot. If you think that this dime-a-dozen anime trope played for laughs is worth completely breaking character and killing the tone and mood of the scene, then I genuinely feel sorry for you.
Abso⅃ute ZeЯo and that’s the truth, Shenpai is the only valid one, my god I can’t imagine ever laughing at this (knowing he’s an abuse victim and just almost died saving everyone, wtf was that shit?!)
This scene would have been so much better if Ryuji was gone for longer. The impact of having to go back to Leblanc without him would be a great opportunity for more character growth for the rest of the phantom thieves, and would have a greater impact on the player. Ryuji wouldn't even have to die to get this effect, he could just show up miraculously like he does in the regular scene, but later. This scene just feels like it is dismissing Ryuji's heroic act as nothing.
If you look closely, my man broke his handicapped leg when he landed on the other side of the boat while jumping across the sinking part, but he handled it with his right hand and started running again. I absolutely love his character, willing to throw himself in front of a car to save the person who was blackmailing them once.
Just to clarify why the medicine collapse was worse than usual: Normally, the Phantom Thieves are able to time their escape and prepare a plan for it, since the collapse doesn't actually start until they take the treasure. Because Shido himself collapsed the palace before they could fully assess the situation, they were unable to find a quick route out of the ship and were in extremely dangerous territory because of it.
I also think that because Shido was dying, the rooms were distorting, unlike every other palace so they got trapped in the maze. How do you think they got out of the maze?
I am posting this right before Shenpai's reaction. I predict that she is going to start sobbing/crying, and then she's going to be a mixture of happy and angry when he turns up not dead, lets see how accurate I got this. Edit: I got close, but she did get mad at the rest of the group for beating up Ryuji. Lmao
alright really though, can i just say that my boy Ryuji did not deserve all the anger he got. I'm not the only one that thinks this right? He saved all of your lives and you just wrote him off right away without making sure he was gone. He didn't have any control over that what are you so pissed at him for?
They’re pissed because they were all worried sick and heartbroken about him and one of the first things he says is a dumb joke. I know he’s a bit thick sometimes but making jokes about how crying faces don’t suit them was a whole new level of dumb. At least that’s why I was mad with him
@@R0SSM1 Well yeah but I don't think that should elicit a beating considering he still risked his life. The whole scene just felt off-putting and it could've been handled so much better
@@R0SSM1 I do understand that, but the man literally could have died and could be severely injured, but they still get super angry at him for no apparent reason although he saved their lives

*Ryuji gets beat up*
"What the fu-"
Was it Ren?
Futaba crying is what actually just straight up destroys me on every level
@@fierytigergaming8112 Probably
Because Matthew Mercer doesn't sound like this
It kinda sounded like Ryuji
The musical gamer: How did this idiot live through this?
Me: Idiots never die...
Idiots are forever
Take a look at the when Ryuji is running down the building. He's smiling.
He likes to run
I like the bit of him punching his bum leg after jumping as a sort of “not now, hurt later!” thing.
Ship* to be precise
Shenpai’s face hitting the desk made me start laughing
22:38 XDDDD
My favorite one isn't in here, it's from the Nyancave. Mainly because it was a livestream and it got set up perfectly.
Prior to the final showdown with Shido, i sent a Monokuma themed super chat (As per their superchat setup) and asked them which Phantom Thief they would be willing to sacrifice for the cause.
One of them answered Ryuji. I made sure to give them a fair Monokuma themed reminder that they must be so pleased with their choice right at the end of that cutscene.
PK Scratch
Damn that pretty cool good job for that
Imagine ryuji saying its a lie
I wonder if you could get the execution music to synch up to the time from Ryuji starting his run to the explosion.
@@soldierofkazus someone shall edit that
@@soldierofkazus Well. The message asking the streamer if he was happy with his choice popped up exactly after the anime cutscene was over, to which he screamed that I did it/i.e it was my fault. Pretty funny when Ryuji appeared shortly afterwards.
Ryuji: Dies and everyone is crying their eye out
Also ryuji: Yo, was poppin, fam?
Ryuji: wus poppin
Akira: don't mind me, just watchin
Not even gonna try to lie, I cried like a bitch when I thought Ryuji died
Final Fantasy Peasant was me not even gonna lie. I had to put my controller down before I was emotional ready to continue. Felt genuine tears picking at my eyes too.
Seriously anyone except Ryuji.
Ann’s VA did a fantastic job, just hearing that makes me tear up, ahah
I think if it weren’t for that scene people wouldn’t ship it so hard
Ryuji deserved better treatment than that. It’s not like he know they thought he died.
We seen people get beaten for humor so often already. Quit acting like they intentionally beat him really hard for nothing. It was a joke. Maybe you didn't like it, but they didn't abuse him I don't need to read hundreds of these stupid comments everywhere. Fix your sense of humor. You don't need to laugh, but if you can't see the difference, then something is wrong with you.
@@balabanasireti are you alright man , he literally never said anything about it being funny or not jesus christ man calm down
@Tum Tum so just because you see one person complain about it then nobody is allowed to say they didn't like it? You're acting like people should read all the comments first and then comment their own opinion afterwards. Like oh look at that somebody agrees with me. I better not comment that since somebody already did. Thats pretty much what you're saying. Its annoying seeing people complain about it? Well get over it. It's annoying seeing people like you complain about people complaining
Ryuji: Risks his life for the whole team
Every girl in Persona 5: WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU... WE THOUGHT YOU DIED SO WE'RE GONNA BEAT YOU UP AND MAKE YOU WISHED YOU DIED
@@balabanasireti now I'm gonna stop you right there and give you my counter argument... Ryuji risked his life and was thought to have died so when he shows that he made it out alive after saving everyone else from a possible death the girl's repay him by beating him up instead of thanking for his sacrifice because Atlus thought that after a scene as impactful as that they wanted to go for something funny that ruins the girl characters plot development
Musical gamer: I'm gonna kill him
Also musical gamer: he didn't deserve that
Did he actually end the video there
16:08 I opened this to see people break down thinking Ryuji died, but now this grown man is tearing up and I really feel bad
You know Ryuji here is basically his persona his second persona Seiten taisen AKA Sun Wukong from Journey to the west
The part of his story where he saves the Monekeys from the after life turning them Immortal
2:42 “He committed Sudoku” ahahahaha
For those who don’t know, Sudoku is the game on the journals, the one which you have to complete the grill with numbers from 1 at 9 by not repeating them. He intended “Seppuku” which is the honorable suicide in feudal Japan
2:44 for the SUDOKU
In his last moment, he was looking to Ann...
Look, the girls were expecting Ryuji to be dead, so they were just making reality fit their expectation.
You know this scene will make alot less sense in P5 Royale once the grappling gun becomes a thing lol
Does everyone get a grappling gun? If not then this scene will still happen
@@J1ntu for some reason, everyone teleports alongside joker.
@@andrescd9327 I guess his general human magnetism has to be the cause. That's why he knows everyone in japan
@@andrescd9327 thats sjdnngmgmgmgmg... everyone can teleport but joker ig that's why he needs the grappling hook 😔
Where is Captain Kidd when you need him?
Saiten Taisen
William
CohhCarnage: “he didn’t see it comiiiiiin”
I actually screamed out of relief when Ryuji was alive.
He was the first confidant to get maxed and I don't regret it.
Ryuji is such a bro, he deserves all the love.
Oh uh no homo
FULL HOMO
ok that salted chip bag for shenpai was uncalled for.
When i played this, i started crying when ryuji started running. All that history with the track field team coming back to me from leveling up his confidant and just the story in general
i love how this still canonically happens in Royal, yet akira had his grapple and could have made it there and back faster than Ryuji
Damn the crying from Futaba and Ann. Especially Futaba since she reminds me of my girlfriend. Their crying really hit me hard. Their voice actresses can't get enough praise for that.
Akira: Ryuji you truly are one of the most reliable people I’ve ever met, I’m glad I could come to Shibuya and meet you
Holy shit is that a jojo reference
Did anyone notice that even on a Sunday, when you return after the battle - the group are in their school uniforms, even Joker?
I mean some of them wear their school outfits outside of school, Makoto and Ann do right?
I know what happened in hindsight. That first explosion is what sent him out of that palace. When the Boat was up in flames, Ryuji was already conked out on the grass.
"Thats a long drop" Dont worry the explosion will cushion his fall.
Ryuji was definitely my favorite throughout the game, so this shit was definitely heartbreaking for a couple minutes.
Also, Futaba: “I don’t know how to swim!”
....didn’t....didn’t you go on the banana boat at the beach?
I know for a banana boat, they’re not too far from shore and she can stand in the shallows and all, but...anyone else notice this?
You sit in one of those banana boats. You get on one not expecting to swim. Hence it being a BOAT. The fact that she can't swim has nothing to do with it. People get into boats all the time and they can't swim. Nobody gets onto a boat and thinks hmm I hope this thing doesn't sink so I have to swim
Jeffrey Thacker With a banana boat, you sit ON not IN. There is the risk of falling off. Even though she would be given a life jacket, there is that possibility of having to swim.
Also, sheesh no need to be aggressive. I was just saying didn’t that sound strange, since she didn’t have any hesitation at the beach.
@@darknesswave100 If you don't consider the risk of a boat sinking while you're in it, you're not "like everyone else." You are, in fact, an idiot.
I literally just experienced this part tonight. When Ryuji started running, I had to hold my friend's hand (he's played this before, so he knew everything) because I was nervous something would happen to him, and then there was the explosion and I was just *gripping* my friend's hand because he's my favorite character. I can't even begin to say how relieved I was that he's okay.
The phantom thieves: ryuji’s dead :(
Ryuji: guess who’s back. Back again...
Skull is back (back, back..), tell the Thieves.
Get smacked smacked smacked, by my friends
6:55 I really didn't see this comment coming right at this tear-jearking scene
Blue
I remember screaming when I thought he was gone (I freaking love that idiot), and I literally collapsed to the floor in relief when he showed up again. Like, holy shit, Atlas scared me for a minute
Ryuji deserved a group hug. Not an all out attack.
49:26
"My hearts like, pounding right no-."
Atlus: Let's make it pound faster
Of course Ryuji won't die to explosion, he got fire damage resistance!
He literally tanks a vorpal blade
The worst part about this is that, since the medicine didn’t even work, this entire sequence of events was purely for comedy.
What I hate about this scene is that it pretty much punished Ryuji for not dying.
Ann was the only one who was justified in smacking Ryuji. Ryuji probably didn’t even think they would be crying over him.
Also forgot NyanCave here.
The point of shido poppin the pills was to show how determined he was to keep his position of power to “steer” the country
Even though it's a total fakeout, the LENGTH that they make you sit through and listen to Ann totally lose her mind and cry is agonizing.
Have to admit, i legit cried. Specially when Ann calls out ryuji Desperately.
That said, while that comment on her face was uncalled for, its Ryuji.
He did not deserve getting beaten up like this.
Did all the Phantom Thieves just collectively forget that FUTABA’S PERSONA CAN FLY???
i’m not confident on this but i don’t think you can use a persona after the treasure is stolen because that part of the metaverse is collapsing
Apparently her Persona can only fit one person inside. She says in a Mementos dialogue that if there's more people inside it probably won't be able to fly.
With the cognitive place going down i think using their persona will be switch on or off every time , to risk
Poor ryuji he didnt deserve to be knocked unconscious XD. That slap by Ann was enough.
4:54 And I've got to, make my decision. This time it could be my moment!
The only thing that would have made this scene better is if right at the end, Haru would just grab Ryujis leg and drag him along...
Why haru specifically I think Yusuke was near Ryuji more then anything
a.fighter Josh it just feels like a haru thing
Makoto is the one in my opinion.
Small brain: haha funni gurls beat up stupid Ryuji lolol
Based brain: Actually though, this kid has been abused and ganged up on in a serious way in the past. Not only that, but his so-called teammates, whose lives he just saved, just left him unconscious on the street on a cold winter night to boot. If you think that this dime-a-dozen anime trope played for laughs is worth completely breaking character and killing the tone and mood of the scene, then I genuinely feel sorry for you.
Abso⅃ute ZeЯo
*claps*
Abso⅃ute ZeЯo and that’s the truth, Shenpai is the only valid one, my god I can’t imagine ever laughing at this (knowing he’s an abuse victim and just almost died saving everyone, wtf was that shit?!)
they just hugged him until he passed out
Jesus Christ, its just for comedic effect...
My thoughts exactly
I had the chance to meet Cherami (Makoto’s voice actor) at Wonder Con this year and she told me that she loved bullying Ryuji, especially this scene!
😞
Everyday i'm glad best boy was ok yet i will always dislike the fact that the girls were so mad at him
i never met him before watching these comps, and i love full fantasy peasant so much now.
I would’ve done the same if I were in Ryuji’s position.
From Day 1: This man has been a champion with you through everything. Biggest bro to have ever lived
This scene would have been so much better if Ryuji was gone for longer. The impact of having to go back to Leblanc without him would be a great opportunity for more character growth for the rest of the phantom thieves, and would have a greater impact on the player. Ryuji wouldn't even have to die to get this effect, he could just show up miraculously like he does in the regular scene, but later. This scene just feels like it is dismissing Ryuji's heroic act as nothing.
Like they do with Morgana?
@@fierytigergaming8112 yeah but ryuji could only be gone for a night vs morgana being gone for multiple months
maaaaaaaan, that was close...
If you look closely, my man broke his handicapped leg when he landed on the other side of the boat while jumping across the sinking part, but he handled it with his right hand and started running again. I absolutely love his character, willing to throw himself in front of a car to save the person who was blackmailing them once.
Do sojiro too pretty please. Its funny when futaba calls him the same as ryuji. XD
I love how Ryuji just walks into frame like nothing happen
bruh i lost it when Cohh said he didn't see it coming that was the funniest thing in the world
Just to clarify why the medicine collapse was worse than usual:
Normally, the Phantom Thieves are able to time their escape and prepare a plan for it, since the collapse doesn't actually start until they take the treasure. Because Shido himself collapsed the palace before they could fully assess the situation, they were unable to find a quick route out of the ship and were in extremely dangerous territory because of it.
I also think that because Shido was dying, the rooms were distorting, unlike every other palace so they got trapped in the maze. How do you think they got out of the maze?
BrandoDoesStuff Well, Ryuji does have functional frag grenades. They could've just blown their way through walls if all else fails.
20:51 and we’ll be right back...
I just love the fact that everyone is yelling at Ryuji for saving them.
7:43 “Man, that was close.” SOB
I am posting this right before Shenpai's reaction.
I predict that she is going to start sobbing/crying, and then she's going to be a mixture of happy and angry when he turns up not dead, lets see how accurate I got this.
Edit: I got close, but she did get mad at the rest of the group for beating up Ryuji. Lmao
Year later........ yeah no she right? The hell young with them beating up and leaving him. Im in the Salt mined with her
Just love how Joker is the only one who didn't run to Ryuji he knew there was gonna be a show and wanted front seat tickets
alright really though, can i just say that my boy Ryuji did not deserve all the anger he got. I'm not the only one that thinks this right? He saved all of your lives and you just wrote him off right away without making sure he was gone. He didn't have any control over that what are you so pissed at him for?
Agreed
They’re pissed because they were all worried sick and heartbroken about him and one of the first things he says is a dumb joke. I know he’s a bit thick sometimes but making jokes about how crying faces don’t suit them was a whole new level of dumb. At least that’s why I was mad with him
@@R0SSM1 Well yeah but I don't think that should elicit a beating considering he still risked his life. The whole scene just felt off-putting and it could've been handled so much better
@@R0SSM1 I do understand that, but the man literally could have died and could be severely injured, but they still get super angry at him for no apparent reason although he saved their lives
We seen people get beaten for humor so often already. Quit acting like they intentionally beat him really hard for nothing. It was a joke. Maybe you didn't like it, but they didn't abuse him I don't need to read hundreds of these stupid comments everywhere. Fix your sense of humor. You don't need to laugh, but if you can't see the difference, then something is wrong with you.
I feel like this moment is a test....
An emotional one, a test to see if they made amazing characters....
The results are truly positive.
15:12 anybody hear Akira yell “hang on”
No I heard Ren yell that
@@callmepsycho3132 that’s the same person
Ryuji: *saves everyone*
Everyone: You are bad guy
Why does watching other people's pain make my day that much? 😂
“..... he didn’t see it cominggggg-“
