I wonder how this list would change in a year. While the list has a great spread of characters, I feel like P4 is just SO much more well known and familiar to most people than even P5, and far more than P3. So with all of them coming to Steam and Switch and stuff, if that'll knock down P4 characters or not.

I am really surprised Mutatsu was so low in votes. He's often considered to be one of the best links in Persona 3 so it really surprised me he only got 7 votes
I love how Akechi’s personality in the third semester is the definition of “I hate all but one of you” but doesn’t specify who so everyone in the Phantom Thieves are spend the entire time guessing while Akechi represses the feeling to try and kill them all again
I'm pretty sure they know him and Joker are friends lmao.
I think he's reffering to Kasumi, he does still hate Joker but less so in 3rd semester
my favorite part of akechis confidant missions is when he tells joker he would rely on joker in a pinch for his skills then straight up tells him he wholeheartedly hates him
@@stormsand9 actually i think there's this bit in the guide from the producer saying something like, it's an interesting time period where (akechi's) relationship to everyone but joker is like 'whatever...' and there's also a bit where he says they're (akechi and sumi) are in a way, in a love triangle with joker or something
@@stormsand9 Personally I find that hilarious because before the third semester Sumire canonically has never seen Akechi do anything…at all, for Sumire’s point of view it’s triple date in the restaurant and never sees him again outside of news and she suddenly sees him outside of Maruki’s Palace. I find that so funny to me especially at the fact that Akechi or Joker doesn’t explain what Akechi did so again it’s just “Dinner Date with Senpai & Akechi to why in Ella’s name is Akechi acting so crazy all of a sudden” so she ends up trying to be friends with him even though he’s crazy.
Im a Ken fan and I’m PROUD. Dude was in elementary school and pulled up and threw hands with DEATH. Some respect needs to be put on his name
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!! My boi deserves better 😤
Bro shit on death with 57 damage cruel attack???
Agree!! “Auughh crapp!!!”
Ken is so cool man, he's not my favorite character or anything but he is definitely up there, idk how people can hate him
He did? As far as i remember he was just sitting in the lobby forever and nobody ever talked to him. 😅 He was NEVER in my team. Not even for a single fight xD
Having Walter SMTIV and Jesse Pinkman onscreen at the same time during the 1 Vote reel is making me cackle

The biggest thing that takes Adachi from a solid 7/10 character to a 11/10 is his route in P4AU. Getting in his head about how he really feels after the events of P4 and that kinda tearjerking ending where he finally realizes that bonds are something we can't live without and it's really not so bad having friends is really heartwarming.
Probably has one of the best handled redemption arcs in a villian to date. The fact that the writers can even get you to feel a slight amount of empathy and pain for someone as cruel and evil as Adachi really shows how well written he is.
Adachi isn't a flat 2D character. He is a real person, with a depressing job, living in a place he never wanted to be to begin with. His close form of affection throughout is literally some weird kid named Yu who doesn't stop pestering him despite his closed off nature, and an old lady that sees him as his son.
In truth you feel for Adachi not just because he's down bad, but because Adachi could be you one day. Adachi is what neglect does to a human, when they either reject society or society rejects them, sometimes both. These things don't excuse Adachi's wrongs, nor do they excuse anyone else like him, but rather the reasons explained help give rational and a deeper understanding of his condition. You take the lessons the game teaches you, and you do not become Adachi, no matter what.
That being said, I do still feel sorrowful for Adachi's fate at the end of the day. I don't want Adachi to stay locked up for lashing out in the only way he knew how, but his crimes are too great and even he knows so. After all, that was apart of the rules of the game he played, and now he must abide by rules that are not his own.
My favorite part of the P4AU when he told Sho that he hates the entire world but he's not the brat like Sho is which indicates that Adachi still holds his view of nihlism in some form but he wouldn't want to drag people to his world view anymore.
@@SoulBro12 Yeah in fact he throws the exact same "little kid throwing a tantrum" insult that I believe Yukiko throws at Adachi in P4. He really has looked back on his actions and while he hasn't exactly lost his nihilistic world view, he certainly has changed quite a bit.
@@smtmonke The person not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel warmth
adachi isnt a 7/10 in p4 if you actually bother to look hard enough lol
Thank you all for voting for Hatsune Miku. She got a respectable 63 votes in 40th place 💪
She should've been in 39th place, though...
ew
As someone who played Royal first and never got to play vanilla P5, Maruki becoming the antagonist of Royal was completely unexpected. He felt like any other confidant to me which goes to show how seemlessly Atlus wove him into the story.
I am currently playing back through P5R and going through Maruki's confidant the 2nd time with context is just amazing seeing all the subtle hints they drop in.
yeah honestly I was being spoiled that the last palace was him when I was half in the story and I was surprised.
And even then, I expected it to be a situation similar to Futaba, I didn't expect AT ALL that he would have that kind of plan.
And it was seriously great.
The most interesting thing about Adachi is that he not only is the antithesis to Yu Narukami and modern Persona, but the fact he also fits the theme of accepting yourself completely warts and all. Adachi knows exactly who he is. He's unashamedly himself and doesn't care. Even in Ultimax he owns up to who he is and wants to return quietly to jail. If Adachi didn't accept his ugly side he would've not awakened his Izanagi like Namatame did. It was an interesting spin on an accepting your true self. Because with characters like Kanji it's wholesome that he accepts his hidden side, with Adachi it's horrific. I completely agree that he's an incel. Before he did it out of boredom, the first 2 murders was because those girls didn't want him. And that's kinda terrifying to think about it. How self absorbed and entitled he is just because he worked hard he thinks the world owes him everything he wants. To some extent we can relate because many of us aren't talented and capitalism is unfair, but we must never become the Adachis that think the world owes us everything just because we weren't treated right. He weirdly kinda reminds me of Kaneshiro since they both had an unfair past then gained a cynical view of the world was a result. What a great character. Sometimes the memes ruin him for me and other days the memes make me love him more.
Also we need Akechi and Adachi to meet in a non-canon spin-off for meme potential
They will meet my friend. In a CANON spin-off, my guess would be Persona 5 Arena
@@ygr6484 As cool as that would be I would kinda get mad if they broke Adachi out of jail again just for DLC money 💀
Yet again my edgelord ass needs that interaction so I'd shill and still buy it
>if Adachi didn't accept his ugly side he would've not awakened his Izanagi like Namatame did
I disagree there. Yu also never faced his shadow and managed to awaken his persona. Izanami's handshake essentially acted as a bypass for facing your shadow, with Namatame simply being consumed by normal shadows before having the chance to awaken his version of Izanagi
Of course, that is just how I read the story and, even if he is my favorite character ever, do not deny that Adachi was a vile person and embraced that.
The thing that really scared me on my first playthrough of P4, when I was fresh out of high school way back in the day, was realizing that out of everyone in the game, Adachi was the character I most related to. The source of his evil is so mundane and understandable that I think a lot of people can relate. I really, really hated that being the case. It honestly got me to get my ass in gear and change myself as a person in some pretty big way, and it's the reason I still think of P4 as my favorite game ever - I think it honestly did inspire me to become a better, less Adachi-like person.
@@knightshade2654 That is fair. Izanami did give him a get out of Jail Free Card with the handshake. However I still believe Adachi accepts himself. He knows he's a cynical misanthrope who will never succeed in life and he embraces that darkness. It contrasts the other characters accepting their ugly side and becoming better people as a result. Adachi doubles down on his negative aspects then his eyes turn yellow and he summons Magatsu Izanagi. He even believes life would be easier if everyone accepted their Shadows/became Shadows.
"You all saw Shadows as mere monsters, didn't you!? These things move on pure instinct! They go wild because you defy them!
You annoying little brats are the ones who aren't wanted in the new world!"
Adachi views Shadows as the rawest, purest, primal parts of people. The shadows aren't just the true self, they're the ugly hidden side. Adachi sees it as his only side and embraces it. Even if Izanami didn't give him an Izanagi I still think he would've awakened. He's too in touch with being a cynical misanthrope much like Akechi who awakened to Loki. He's not like the P5 villains like Kamoshida who hide their ugly side from themselves and think they're good people. Kamoshida would never admit he thought he was the King of The Castle who saw students as slaves, Kaneshiro would never admit he was just a pesky insecure fly who wanted money to be strong, etc. Adachi is fine admitting to himself he's a nihilist.
Naoto’s texting is hilarious when you remember they don’t have smart phones, so she’s just using as few buttons as possible

What I love about Maruki is his moral grayness; he's a kind, goofy dork who genuinely wants the best for you. And to get what's best for you, he will lie to you, abuse your trust, stalk you, electrocute you & rip your Persona out of you, and emotionally blackmail you- and he'll do it all with a smile on his face because he really believes he's helping you. That's a really compelling and terrifying antagonist.
It's kinda sad too. At his heart he has purely selfless intentions, but his way of carrying out it are so extreme. After all they do say that the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
I believe you mean aizen lmao
The most terrifying antagonists are the ones who 100% believe they're doing the right thing. Makishima from Psycho Pass comes to mind
The man allowed the abominaton and walking crime against humanity known as human morgana to exist and thusly derseevs to burn even lower in hell than shido.

Hifumi Togo is legit the reason that I discovered shogi. I am now playing in the World Shogi Leagues for team Canada. So yeah, got a soft spot for her.
holy shit that is so cool dude LOL hope to see u in the mainstream cause that legit would be crazy
I think Yu being higher than Joker is bc hes HILARIOUS in the anime and very endearing in Arena
exactly, the p5 anime was so bad so it makes sense
I know it's a really minor thing but during Junpei's persona awakening he blasts away Jin with a fire attack and that's awesome because in Gameplay Jin Repels fire.
But that attack was so strong it caused a Gameplay and Story Segregation moment.
And I always thought that was very cool.
Surprising to see Junpei and Ryuji on the top 10 considering they ranked rather low in the Japanese popularity poll.
I think Americans are into those type of characters in general. I never played P3 but Ryuji appeals to our love of loud, boisterous independent loving heroes with big hearts, especially if they are young men.
@@kazzfuchsia1073 junpei is that one friend that you have fun with and sometimes talk about women with and kinda bully but he had pretty big ego that got cooled down and was the sensible one in the answer
Basically he that one friend that you have to tell to shut up sometimes but you love to death
Japanese are cringe, they see a girl treating them like shit and be like "Yes please!"
@@Zarathustra_infinite
It's rather interesting that the best freind bro characters have a large mainly female audiance. I thought I was the only one honestly.
Western audience seem to tolerate Ryuji more. I, for one, cant stand him. Not because of his obviously teenagerish actions but because he is very forceful when making decision. Most of the times when Joker disagrees he berates Joker and move the conversation his way like he is the leader of the Phantom Theives. It is Atlus's fault for using him as a narrative device, but it does bother me nonetheless.
Can we talk about how THE BOYS wrecked the top 10? We Persona fans may battle to death for our waifu, but at the end of the day we know the homies carry this series

While she is not my favorite character, I always had a sense of deep care for Futaba due to how much she is like my little sister. My sister does not play many video games and mostly enjoys art and anime, but both have and had issues with self-isolation and intense social anxiety. It was nice to see how much my sister saw herself in Futaba, as well.
I have a friend who is damn near futaba's clone. She's like a little sister to me so when I first saw futaba it threw me off cause it was her but in video game form
with this added context, please don't tell me you romanced her in game
@@paul_particularlyunhappynut Oh, no. I romanced Kasumi but regretted it, wishing that I romanced Hifumi.
Es pic, based
1 yr old comment but just have to mention the es pic
I will say when Akechi became basically Vegeta in royal it made his character so much better and his ultimate awaking is legit one of the best moments in the series for me
na the best moment is when the p4 crew was running from kanji
@@KoreyVortex In P5?
"Nameless" needs more love. Poor dude is only seen in P1 playing the piano in the Velvet Room blind folded. Do you know how challenging it is to play the piano blindfolded!? That requires SO much skill and muscle memory!
I’m pretty sure he’s in p2 as well
@@alwaysawesome216 he is
Adachi honking his clown nose while saying "we live in a society" could pretty much sum up the whole list
A dude that's not even in the game >>> Yaldabaoth, the final boss
Okay but Naoto's messages make sense, since she's part of law enforcement wanting to get information across as fast and simple as possible makes more sense then typing a full message with using lowercase letters on a flip phone where you had to click a button at most 8 times to get a letter you wanted
I hated doing that
Maya Amano doing better than most modern persona girls brings me joy
Personalities aside, I prefer adult woman over teenage girls.
I don't know why people like her that much tbh. I feel like a lot more could've been done with her. My point is, I think there are better characters in P2, like Tatsuya and Eikichi.
@@insertnamehere658 let's positive think guys!!
best woman
@@insertnamehere658To be fair, saying she isn't the best in Persona 2 isn't saying much. Even after playing every game except Q2 and the dancing games, I'd say Persona 2 has the best cast across both games
Came from Schaffrillas
Is it weird that when I first played Persona 4 as a highschooler, I related more to Dojima more than the rest of the cast? I wished I voted for him because I was pretty short sighted on persona characters back when I was voting
The fact Kashwagi got 2 votes is 25 more then I'd thought she'd get.
I was one of the two that voted for her. I was also the only one that voted for Ms Chouno... I just have a teacher fetish if you're wondering why.
honestly her and hanako's relationship was very cute, they had a better dynamic than any of the persona 5 characters
@@SasukaRH Probably the only good thing about her.
@@xavierjohnson2321 well yeah but she's a very minor character so just that on its own made me like her
I would be the second person who voted for kashiwagi
Idk why i just like her
Maybe because she's hot
It's very interesting to see how well-represented the persona 1 and 2 games were. This, and the fact that Aigis (who I think won the persona awards for most popular character?) only ranked top 5 really surprised me. Although, in hindsight, it was pretty clear who was going to be first place
I mean, if you are in a persona channel, you definitely is more likely to be aware and try the other persona games. Plus the SMT fans, all 6 of them (me included)
@@invertebrado Raidou Kuzunoha fans will rise again!
Adachi got a really big popularity from memes.
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134
It's impressive that Kyouji Kuzunoha got more votes than Raidou considering that Devil Summoner 1 has never been translated while the Raidou games have been
As a female Yosuke fan, I can confirm. He is my favourite and always will be. It's hard to explain but smth about Yosuke is just so sweet. He is super funny as well.
Also, the dancing game got him even more fans(and I don't blame anyone here)
Looks like operation "up close and personal" worked after all.
As a male Yosuke Fan, I just think it's very charming seeing him trying so hard to do cool things, and him trying to keep a cool and captivating persona!(pun totally intended)
As a female, Yosuke is my least fave bro character. Didn't help that I rarely found him funny too, but humour is different for everybody
I am not a female but Yosuke is really awesome. He is the only character in the series to feel like protag's bestie. When he shout "distance doesn't matter to us" I always sob.
Yo shoutout to the other 9 Kuon Ichinose votes... I can't believe there were any other Kuon Ichinose votes.
I'll also say that having characters like Junko Kurosu and Kinshiro Morooka with just 1 vote, I think speaks to the quality of a lot of Persona characters. This list is really surprising, mostly in the low and lower-middle placements. I feel like the top rankers were all easy to guess, especially Adachi placing where he did.
Most importantly Fither, PLEASE DO A MOST HATED CHARACTER LIST.
Us based Ichinose enjoyers gotta stick together in these trying times
Strikers characters in general are really good.
@@rcrude8866 amen
I love Ryuji so much, for a variety of reasons. But playing Royal for the first time now, and he immediately marks himself as someone special in the prologue. He’s willing to die in Kamoshida’s Palace to buy Joker time to escape. He’s just…such a sweet boy. Nobody I’d rather have as my right hand man.
Oh shit. I hoped you voted for “Adachi, Adachi, Adachi, Adachi.”
I'm so happy of my man Kanji to have almost won. I thought he was gonna be like top 20 maybe as I honest don't see that many people talk about him too much but a silver medal is more than enough for him. He's my favourite persona character for many reasons one of them being I'm into craft work like that myself. I have others but I'm not going to go into a super long story or whatever. I just love Kanji man

I feel some people are more “territorial” with their favorite girls because of the whole “waifu wars” nonsense which is why the top 10 is primarily male characters

13:40 These ones hurt, I kinda hoped they would ended up higher
18:57 As an unironic "I actually kinda like Marie" person, I am just glad she got more than 2 votes

1:23:04 Second favorite character, glad to see her this high.
1:26:12 lol, they got so close together, not that I mind, he really is a top 5 character
1:30:46 Here he comes!
1:31:05 I am absolutely not surprised that he got number 1, memes aside, he in both the main game and ultimax makes him a really amazing character.
Though part of me wanted to vote for some of the funny men like Adachi, I just had to give one of my votes to the Persona 1 Drugstore Pharmacist. So sad to see only I feel that way 😭
About the whole “introducing new characters in the remake thing” when I thought Sumire’s implementation was too much in the intro and was pretty cool with maruki’s. I personally thought the implementation was pretty obvious but when my friend blind-played P5R they straight up could not tell what was new and what wasn’t. They were genuinely surprised when I told them Katsumi was new.
Kanji's conversation with Ken in Persona Q is one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise. Kanji is just flat out perfection
The fact Ken saw him as a father figure than a brother figure will not floor me.
in the original persona 4, i was kind of indifferent towards adachi. a lot of the things he's supposed to represent about the story aren't seen until the end of the game. in golden, i think his social link did a lot for him. not anywhere close to being my favorite, but he alright.
Adachi as expected to be number one as he have his own subreddit dedicated to him(most for the memes)

If your going to talk about Persona villians, I have a lot of thoughts on the Masked Circle. In my eyes they're probably the most underutilized group of persona villians, in terms of the fact that half of them never actually get relevance outside of their fights, in spite of very interesting concepts. The only ones given any real depth outside of Jun himself are Anna and Soudo, who like Anna's cool but Soudo is, Soudo's writing is not something I'm getting into.
This hurts really badly with Junko who just shows up, decides that she's completed her character arc, then dies. A lot of the Masked Circle have really interesting concepts and have really diverse designs and personalities. Hiroki's got this massive grudge against one of the protagonists and a lot of deep seated issues, Ixquic's a naive kid surrounded by villians, Yasou is technically the main bad guy for the first fourth of the game, Hannya looks really really cool. they deserve a spin off game man.
Agreed
I'm a Persona 2 stan, but yeah, their backstories are better than what they actually do in the game. Poor Junko got shafted
@@Yeaster YEEEEES
"Naoto is the only main character from the trilogy that can legally carry a gun". Bruh, Aigis is a gun tho
I think some of the oddly low characters can easily be explained as "I like this character but it's 7th "
Somthing really interesting about Maruki's story about him and his fiance was that she was attacked during a BURGLARY by an intruder "AKA A THEIF" and yet despite all that he is still supportive of the phantom thieves actions (until the fourth semester of course). Further showing how tolerant and based Maruki is as a character (also adding more to the pain of the fist fight scene at the end T_T )
HOOOOOLLLLY SHIT! I didn’t even realize that parallel!!! I know there’s other details in the game that show off how kind Maruki is but goddamn I never even connected how he would have a reason to be very distrustful of the Phantom Thieves and instead is supportive and open.
Even in the third (yes it is third not fourth) semester he is supportive of Joker and the thieves' choice to change his heart. He could have blocked them off from even entering his palace but he let them change his heart. He truly only wants whats the best for people
Shoutout to the other 27 iwai fans who voted for him. You’re all real ones
if adachi chungus was an option he would have won
Katsuya Suou and Funky Student, greatest fictional duo ever created
"Ryuji, Naoto and Kanji all in top 10"
Life good :)
Lala and Alice got done dirty tho :(
Kanji was only 12 points away from Adachi. That’s shocking to me but as someone who’s played Persona 4 very recently I’m very happy since he may be my new favorite Persona character
Glad to see my fellow Akinari fans showed out (in all honesty I thought he was going to be a 1 vote hall of famer).
I voted ❤️
Isn't his social link like the best one ever? It clearly left some kind of impact if the pink alligator was referenced in Kanji's and oddly Adachi's social links. Guess he's just overshadowed by main characters.
I am a proud Eikichi and Tatsuya stan
Woo let's go baby I've been waiting for this!!
Edit: WOO my vote for the little girl in p5 next to sojiros house was in the one vote hall of fame
Did anybody else know Adachi was gonna be the villain when they heard his voice and made the connection that P3MC and Ryoji had the same voice actor so Narukami and Adachi will probably have a similar relationship?
Honestly most players dont pay attention to Narukamis voice so probably not. He barely speaks in the game and I didn't look up voice actors before hand.
I’m shocked yaldabaoth didn’t get a good amount of votes since he was amazing as igor. Also arsne only getting two is crazy
I hate when Nanako... got kidnapped and almost died. Frankly it oddly enough, relates to a situation with my sister. Especially with the exact times

so interesting how much these results differ from polls done in japan
Yeah! Whoever else voted for Raidou Kuzunoha, you too know the truth.
Also, thank you Fither; The Eye was indeed a based vote.
I mean Chie mentions watching something about the Kuzunohas and that Naoto reminded her of that so Raidou counts, also there is the timeline stuff but I won't get into that
29:29 IDK, for me part of it is just that it's nice to play a persona game as a girl, I guess. I think that's part of the reason why I like her and Maya so much (you know, besides the fact that Maya is Maya. Everybody loves Maya.) I don't mind playing as a boy, but there's something nice about playing someone who is the same gender as you if that makes sense. The fact that she's also a different character than her make counterpart with different social links and dialogue options is just the icing on the cake.
People forget that adachi isn’t actually allowed a gun since its slightly implied he misfired a gun and thats when he was relocated to inaba. The gun he does have is possibly built by him, maybe using parts from other confiscated guns. Thats my guess.
I'm so surprised people don't remember Hisano that much, out of all the P4 social links her's feels the most bittersweet and really stuck with me after playing the game. Idk, I'm not surprised P5 social links were generally popular because P5 fans gonna P5.

The Persona 3 movies probably also played in big role in making the Protagonist more popular than the other protagonists.
Imagine Sasuke but he cares about his friends
Yukari is easily my favourite character in the entire series, she’s so likeable and I love her romance with the MC. She’s also the only girl in Persona that I related to a lot
As a lesbian I so wish I could romance her as FeMC lmao
Fair, I love Yukari too, but what about me?
@@lucymorrison sameeee
Haru being my favorite persona girl and her being 19th works because 1+9=10 and she's a 10. Yes that's a reach, lol
My top 3 ended up being the top 3, I'm stunned. Sad to see Mishima get shafted, I unironically like him more than all the phantom thieves.
fellow mishima appreciator 🤝
I just noticed, am I blind or did no one vote for Kanami from P4D at all?
Who?
The one negative thing I will say for Joker and Akechi's "Rivalry" is that it always felt like a one-sided rivalry due to the nature of the MC. Akechi is constantly always going on about how you are his rival and depending on your dialogue choices you can essentially never have Joker ever admit they are rivals.
A bit sad how Eikichi’s theme started playing immediately after he was pushed off the screen.
"I don't agree with [Akechi's] placement because he's still kinda a mess..." I honestly think that's also part of the appeal. He's so MESSY, it gives a lot of space to really dive into character traits and elements of the human experience that persona characters don't usually touch. Plus it's just interesting to see how he became the mess he is and what he could/could have become (depending on your interpretation of the ending) in the aftermath, because ffs he's EIGHTEEN, he had/has his whole life ahead of him, there's so much room for him to grow (or not, which I think people also find interesting)
Not even Eighteen, he's canonically Seventeen in P5
There is only one thing I can say about Eikichi's placement
LET'S GO EVERYBODY
Miku getting more votes than Igor is so fucking funny, man
I went into p5r completely blind about everything and I agree that Maruki fits into the game seamlessly. I had no idea he was an addition to the game until it was revealed he was the main villain of the third semester.
We know Narukami is definitely among the most popular, with his anime being considered the best work A1 has done, his character and regular appearance in spinoffs, the memes, and probably an underestimated fact, he is in BlazBlue CrossTag Battle, so a lot of fans of BlazBlue, UnderNight, RWBY, and the other franchises possibly had Narukami be their first exposure to the series as a whole and an anime fighting game probably has more fans of anime than an anime fighting game people try to call not anime since some of the characters are either too realistic or too cartoony regardless of them being actually Japanese-made characters
I'm more surprised it seems Makoto Yuki beat him
Persona 4 The Animation was not made by A1
@@ovensmuggler5207 then why is A1 in the credits and stuff?
No-good Tora deserved more votes
1:27:42 Had me rolling on the floor so hard, I will never forget that joke
persona 5 fans is very upset right now that Joker is the least favorite among the three modern protags
Joker’s definitely my favorite protag, but he’s been done the dirtiest in terms of outside of game characterization. Yuki has the P3 movies while Yu has the P4 anime and arena, while Joker has… the P5 anime
@@Limit02 true, poor Joker
@@Limit02crazy how he might've had more personality in the game lmao
Fell sad for Ken and Morgana, my favorite characters from both parts of Persona=(
As a Haru stan, I'm just glad she's in the top 20 :)
Murders a woman for not having sex with him? Yeah, I'm thinking based and best character.
I did my part for Tamaki, I salute the other 9 of you who did the same. smash that like button if you're one of maybe two people who would've also said reiko if it were an overall smt poll.
Interesting to see jun and hifumi (2 of my other votes) ended up right next to eachother. I personally like Hifumi because I grew up watching YuGiOh and it ruined my idea of what "cool" is.
My first p3 gf was actually chihiro and she's really stuck with me because of that. She's a lot more likely to be your first if you don't focus sports club, I feel.
Tamaki gang
Probably the most badass Persona protagonist, considering that game is not easy. Also, I thought she was great in Innocent Sin.
The fact that Yuko is only available twice a week while Chihiro is 3 times a week makes both very likely considering the small amount of time that separates when they become available
I'll say it again, 5 votes wasn't enough. There are too many characters I love for different reasons, picking only 5 was agony, knowing I'd skip out on voting many other amazing characters
The fact lala only received 2 votes is a travesty. Lala best girl.
I wanna find the dude who voted for Jesse Pinkman
