    Lyrics:
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who was hated
    by the god of failure!
    Just Lean
    No one here is thinking that hard
    Death is king now, men are dead to waste life's grace
    It is a fool who hides
    because everyone is his eyes and ears
    The outlaw, no age can judge him
    Truth is always born in the mind
    If the thick book, had shown him the right path
    would it have repeated all?
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who was hated
    by the god of failure!
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who followed
    the heart without fortune
    He'll come! He'll come!
    For the truth came cloaked in fear
    He'll come! He'll come!
    Before those who warn of dawn
    Wild card, wild card
    the words of the man who never fails
    Just Lean
    He says "half the world is my love vow"
    It's a mess, but nobody thinks it's a joke
    Whether it be a mother, sister, or a daughter
    whatever, he doesn't talk about fake love
    The outlaw, no age can judge him
    Truth is always born in the mind.
    If the thick book, had shown him the right path,
    would it have repeated all?
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who was hated
    by the god of failure
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who followed
    the heart without fortune
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy hated by
    even the goddess of fate
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who loves some foolish
    diamond
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who was hated
    by the god of failure
    Just Lean
    she was told that it's the word of the guy who followed
    the heart without fortune
    He'll come! He'll come!
    For the truth came cloaked in fear
    He'll come! He'll come!
    Before those who warn of dawn
    Wild card, wild card
    the words of the man who never fails
    Just Lean

      To be fair, he's a world renowned pirate. If you don't know about Mr J of the seven seas then you'd have to be living under a rock in the middle of the woods and even then he'll probably show up and give you 500,000 W$ that he just stole from Ky

    Fun facts:
    1: Johnny genuinely believes that the happiness of all women in the world depends on him.
    2: he once told I-No to stop calling herself a witch because he wants to eradicate all terms that paint women in a bad light.

    “It’s a mess but nobody thinks it’s a joke” is probably my favorite summarization of Johnny’s character
    Like yes, Johnny is fucking insane and he’s living this chuuni life being a cowboy and a samurai AND a pirate, and pledging his love and protection to all women of the earth…
    But absolutely NO ONE who’s met him thinks he’s kidding. He’s completely serious about ALL that stupid shit AND he’s going to live up to it.

    @skunthundler Год назад +3163

    I love how it's a folk song that starts off with one guy playing kinda quietly playing guitar, but as the stories of Johnny get more and more exaggerated, more people join in and everything gets way louder and the chants of "He'll come, he'll come" get more frequent. Very neat way to break the established trope of Strive songs, rather than being in first person like every other character theme, this is an impersonal folk tale being told at a bar or something.

    "Hated by the god of failure" is such a cool line. I see a lot of people interpreting it as saying that the god of failure hates Johnny because they are trying to make Johnny fail and can't, but I read it a little differently than that.
    Think of it this way: If you are loved by the god of fortune, that's usually seen as a good thing because they have the capacity to bless you with good fortune. Conversely, if you were loved by the god of failure, it stands to reason that you would be "blessed' with a multitude of failures.
    But not this guy. Johnny is HATED by the god of failure. And so the god of failure refuses to give Johnny even a single solitary L. Which, being real, is the most Johnny thing that I can think of.

    Johnny is such a chad. Let's break it down:
    -He has a crew of all female pirates (except for him), some of which are underage and all also are infatuated with him; he does not reciprocate their feelings, feeling more like a dad to them.
    -Was able to hold off Bedman at the height of his power for a good few minutes, a feat very few can match. And he's even more powerful than this, as evidenced by an interaction with Slayer where he says Johnny is always holding back when he fights.
    -Is a proud supporter of Chipp, a fellow chad.
    -His character themes are always top-tier, and when given the opportunity to dive into his backstory/themes/deeper meaning with a vocal track, his is all about how awesome he is, and that's it.
    -Best drip in the series. He is just about the only character that didn't change coming to Strive, because they've already reached the peak.
