Interesting… I mean, I still see their relationship in a more platonic way but when Akihiko in the beginning is all “I need to get back into fighting again despite being injured”, it felt like Mitsuru’s the mom and he’s a child.
Altus did confirm that they’re not dating in the dancing game when makoto ask if those two are dating and akihiko say “why would I date a girl with some much trouble?”
@@greninjaartistsenpai Ah, I remember that. If I’m not mistaken, didn’t that scene ended with Akihiko attempting to run away because he may have insulted Mitsuru?
Akihiko and mitsuru are like yosuke and chie, they could be something but end up as more trouble for one another. Akihiko doesn't know how to approach mitsuru and is not really good at romance. Mitsuru is kinda oblivious to a lot of things and more about business. He probably run away from her then anything because he fears her. I'll give it a couple of more years and maybe they will think differently
Akihiko and Mitsuru are my favorite duo in all of Persona. They just got each other and they know to cover their blind spots and push each other forward when need be
their relationship feels like a brother and sister. mitsuru being the more mature one that always looking out/nagging him. he always talk about her with a slightly scared tone. it never feels like there a thing.
I am glad the developers actually put this, since many people would feel awkward dating Mitsuru if she was dating Akihiko already. But it is all just friendship so you don't need to fear anything, she is free.
@@chairkun9139 well many people wouldn't want to break the bro code with Akihiko. But at the end of the day Akihiko is already in a relationship with Protein.
Should’ve flashbacked to that one choice in Dancing in Moonlight lol Edit: I need to vent. I JUST got Daisoujou’d in SMTV. MF caught me off guard with a Mahamaon after getting Magatsuhi. And I was SO CLOSE after about 7 attempts of trial and error. Edit 2: 2 attempts later, and I finally beat him.
As long as her relationship with Akihiko is more or less platnoic, i am sure Mitsuru would be more open up to Makoto since the leader of S.E.E.S sees her a person he admires.
I always saw thwm as brother and sister, though it was clear they had a strong connection that could easily have turned into something more. That is, if they weren't so damn alike.
I shipped Akihiko and Mitsuru since I played the orignal years ago, during their very first scene at the start of the game. I think its fair enough that they're just platonic friends throughout the game, to give a chance for the MC to romance her and I'm totally fine with it. Since we know how this game will end, who knows maybe when they're both mature enough and when the time is right for both of them, maybe they'll have a chance together in the future. Just my opinion, and a little wishful thinking
I don't get why people would think they would be with each other, they got no sexual tension or any semblance of romantism or desire between them whatsoever
I feel like those two are the sort that end up together years later on account that everyone else in their lives has moved on and their too wrapped up in their own affairs to notice.
Personally I like her ship with both Makoto and Akihiko, so I like to imagine that she dated Makoto during the events of the game, but ultimately got with Akihiko later in life.
People saying Akihiko is mad or some shit but forget hes a chad that just wants protein and Shinji to watch hi punch things This is an absolute win in his book
Listen, the one shot in P4A Ultimax. Literally labeled Emperor and Empress. With both posed up and ready to kick ass. I can't *not* ship them. Or be turned on. Fucking bisexual nightmare.
I wonder how Akihiko feels about her. He's always seemed pretty oblivious to members of the opposite sex. I assume he sees her as just a friend/sister, but they were fighting shadows just the 2 of them for a while after Shinji left so maybe he thought they were closer than she does.
Well Akihiko does seem to genuinely fear Mitsuru's executions, I imagine he's probably been subjected to a couple in the past 😆. I think the guy would be far too scared to ever date her for fear of pissing her off, since she probably had the resources to wipe him off the face of the earth without a trace 🤣.
I highly doubt that. And don't even compared them with my favorite Dragon Ball ship! Akihiko only wants to marry Mitsuru to get more money through corporate partnership. This spoiled brat doesn't treat her as a person like how Makoto did.
I know fans really want Atlus to get serious and offer queer romance options (and that's long, loooooooooong overdue), but I think something really cool would be a mechanic where you can set up other characters with one another.

@@greninjaartistsenpaiI think they didn't start date because akihiko fear mitsuru since he weak against ice
Aki, Mitsuru, and Shinji have always felt like basically siblings tbh

You see I like Akihiko well enough but he isn’t *Genius*, so I can’t hang out with him.
Goes back to studying so I can hang out with Mitsuru*
EATS A LOT IN WAKATSU KITCHEN
well, akihiko also has a demanding friendship since you need to be as charming as a queen bee to deflect the gaze of the akihiko stans
Lore accurate reason
@@ryanrcosta I think Mitsuru already have that charm though, just look at Mitsuru simp
My brother got teammate-zoned.
We all know that AkihikoXProtein is the real OTP.
Honestly though, we need more platonic relationships in media
The best OTP of all
Akihiko and Mitsuru are my favorite duo in all of Persona. They just got each other and they know to cover their blind spots and push each other forward when need be
Akihiko x WhereHaveYouBeen has always been the way to go
have you been searching all along…, for this?
@@czasilloI've been waiting for this actually
Could someone explain the joke to me please?
@@humber2512 in Persona 3 when you return to de dorm if Akihiko is there he would ask you "Where have you been?"
their relationship feels like a brother and sister.
mitsuru being the more mature one that always looking out/nagging him.
he always talk about her with a slightly scared tone.
it never feels like there a thing.
I am glad the developers actually put this, since many people would feel awkward dating Mitsuru if she was dating Akihiko already. But it is all just friendship so you don't need to fear anything, she is free.
Perhaps its an answer to what happened on persona 4
Now we await the p4 remake when we ask naoto the same thing
Many people would feel weird? The fuck is happening with you guys??
@@chairkun9139 well many people wouldn't want to break the bro code with Akihiko. But at the end of the day Akihiko is already in a relationship with Protein.
@@chairkun9139 Right, did people forget this is a video game 😭
Minato: Do you like Akihiko?
Mitsuru: No, he's just a friend.
Akihiko: *Dame da ne dame yo dame danoyo*
You think hes got time for romance? Hes busy working out and drinking protein
Pure Love in Iwatodai for Makoto. 😹
I recall this popping up in P3D also. They really want shippers to know that they're not a thing lol
I feel like it has the reverse effect given that they need to clarify it so much.
Idk why but I’ve always seen akihiko and Mitsuru as parents to the sees group
Akihiko: Still I have Kotone Shiomi in Portable
Makoto: Ah crap time to break the personaverse then
Should’ve flashbacked to that one choice in Dancing in Moonlight lol
Edit: I need to vent. I JUST got Daisoujou’d in SMTV. MF caught me off guard with a Mahamaon after getting Magatsuhi. And I was SO CLOSE after about 7 attempts of trial and error.
Edit 2: 2 attempts later, and I finally beat him.
Gg no re
I know your pain, fam. At least you beat his ass.
Now ask Ken if Mitsuru and Akihiko are his parental figures
As long as her relationship with Akihiko is more or less platnoic, i am sure Mitsuru would be more open up to Makoto since the leader of S.E.E.S sees her a person he admires.
Akihiko punching air rn
I always saw thwm as brother and sister, though it was clear they had a strong connection that could easily have turned into something more. That is, if they weren't so damn alike.
Akihiko loves his protein so much he got friendzoned even tho he only got eyes on the gains...
Well at least he's not just a classmate

I never saw any sexual tensions between these two. They're more like siblings and Mitsuru is like an older sister to him.
I appreciate the platonic bond they have, it’s so easy to “match” every character with their closest opposite-sex friend.
I don't get why people would think they would be with each other, they got no sexual tension or any semblance of romantism or desire between them whatsoever
People that desperately need affection start seeing romance everywhere
@@Darmani2MBdude, it ain't that deep, it's just shipping. They could do it anyway despite knowing the two are platonic.
I am so hlad i brought them together during that on full moon boss where you get slap😂
I feel like those two are the sort that end up together years later on account that everyone else in their lives has moved on and their too wrapped up in their own affairs to notice.
"Or should I say, teammate?"
Yeah that's the problem with SEES they don't admit being friends or don't even realize it
Akihiko got friendzoned in dialogue 😂
For me they’ve always been like older sister younger brother
Aki gets friend zoned at that moment makoto knew he had a chance 😭😭
RIP my ship
😔✊🏾
Where if it make you feel better, Mitsuru is still available after the end of the game. If you know what I mean.
Yea same feeling here but I’m okay with AkiMitsu not being canon cuz Fan-fiction exists so it’s fine.
@@samuelmartinez8106p4A says otherwise
Personally I like her ship with both Makoto and Akihiko, so I like to imagine that she dated Makoto during the events of the game, but ultimately got with Akihiko later in life.
Even if you don’t romance her, in p4A she says she had feelings for makoto
People saying Akihiko is mad or some shit but forget hes a chad that just wants protein and Shinji to watch hi punch things
This is an absolute win in his book
Listen, the one shot in P4A Ultimax. Literally labeled Emperor and Empress. With both posed up and ready to kick ass. I can't *not* ship them. Or be turned on. Fucking bisexual nightmare.
Shippers in shambles right now.
Are you entirely sure that they didn’t have Sae Niijima?
I wonder how Akihiko feels about her. He's always seemed pretty oblivious to members of the opposite sex. I assume he sees her as just a friend/sister, but they were fighting shadows just the 2 of them for a while after Shinji left so maybe he thought they were closer than she does.

YES
Aki is all for myself
Welp my ship has sailed 🥲
Obviously Akihiko doesn't have max academics stat
This is kinda out of nowhere but I'd like to hear some people's opinion:
What are your thoughts on Akihiko and Sae Niijima?
i like them
Aki gives us a hint from the start saying "my weakness is ice" and now he's friends zoned, poor Aki
They have the Trunks x Mai relationship. You can't tell me anything to change my mind.
I highly doubt that. And don't even compared them with my favorite Dragon Ball ship! Akihiko only wants to marry Mitsuru to get more money through corporate partnership. This spoiled brat doesn't treat her as a person like how Makoto did.
@@a.jthomas6132 I'm talking about Future Trunks and Mai not the present timeline.
I don't care what anyone says Akihiko X Mitsuru is my OTP
Nice way of saying Akihiko x Protein
Hell nah
It’s my OTP as well but it’s fine if the ship isn’t canon, Fanfics do exist so I just read that instead.
I know fans really want Atlus to get serious and offer queer romance options (and that's long, loooooooooong overdue), but I think something really cool would be a mechanic where you can set up other characters with one another.
I prefer shipping Akihiko with Kotone/Minako better.
