"She single handedly figured out who the phantom thieves are" if thats what you call hearing ryuji scream it from the rooftops then sure

P5 : *Goes on a date, stay loyal, valentines and Christmas with makoto* P5 Scramble : makoto : no we're just friends! Me : *hello darkness my old friend *

"we learn that mokoto really likes to be on top... ...of johana. that's her persona"

"You can say she's an atomic beauty."

Her english voice actress also voiced Gaige from the Borderlands series. And my favorite part about Makoto, is Makoto My least favorite is that she doesn't exist.

you forgot her cutest line: "don't tease me"

Killer Queen has already delivered the fist of justice

Makoto is the only love interest that has long-term relationship potential, where you could actually build a life and family together. All the others feel like "it happened one summer" flings.

Makoto is not only a waifu. She is THE WAIFU.

I would say my favorite part of Makoto is the duality of her temperament. One of my favorite characteristics in a girl, real or fictional, is being able to display good mannerisms in public, while still maintaining a casual private demeanor. There is hardly a greater disparity in personality present in any other character, other than maybe Haru. When I think of Makoto, strangely enough, one trait that pops into my head a lot is _serene._ She's kind of hard to like at the beginning of the game, but she starts standing in the spotlight more as time goes on, becoming better characterized up to her Awakening. Especially after she awakens to her Persona. Makoto begins to branch out and expand her repertoire of experiences, good and bad, and be all adorable about it. I also really like how kickass she can be, manifesting her Queen personality on the fly when its needed. That's what I'm talking about with duality; she has her regular, dorky and smart teenage girl personality, and the calculating, cold, vengeful Queen under the surface. One of my favorite moments involving her was on the Hawaii trip when she invites you out for a stroll on the beach. The two of you enjoy the late afternoon, getting a heaping pile of shrimp from an enthusiastic local, lol. Then the two of you sit down on a lonely bench to end the evening. When sitting next to her, you're both bathed in the setting sun's light, and she has a little smile on her face while blushing. In a lot of parts of the game, her smile can come across as smug, taunting, amused, or just plain happy. But, in that scene, I kid you not, when she was smiling like that it kind of felt like my breath was taken away. She looked so... serene, content, and graceful. I sat there for a minute or two, committing the scene to memory. Same thing happened again a few weeks ago when I was playing P5 Royal. I got to the Hawaii scene again, and I chose to accept her invitation again (you can still do it if you haven't romanced her yet because of an obstacle in her Confidant). At that point in the game, I was debating whether I was gonna romance her, or the new female character, Kasumi. Kasumi was proving to be a cheerful, bubbly, and graceful character, and later interactions only reinforced that. But, going through that scene again, watching Makoto bask in the sunlight and remembering why I chose her in the first place, I made my decision. I was gonna go down her romance path, _again._ Still haven't regret my decision! So, uh, yeah! There's my long-winded and kind of confusing reason for why I really like Makoto!

Makoto was built to be Jokers canon romance route (though that is arguable due to Kasumi) Both have a strong sense of justice Both are seen as leaders within the group Like he stated both are the most responsible ones of the group Makoto is a *huge* part of the story Both are the only people to be seen driving Morgana in momentos Joker literally shielded her once Tsukasa was about to punch her Seriously it's like a match made in heaven

"Secondary leader of the group". We all know Makoto is the actual leader and they just let Joker to decide when to enter Palaces just because it was the role Morgana gave him at the start.

>just called her "Fist of the Phantom Star" >Jojo reference Kenshiro is disappointed

Dude just do the Speedwagon video already stop teasing us its cruel.

Makoto stalking you early on is the cutiest thing ever

I'm noticing a pattern here. Small chest, dark hair, red eyes has come up three times now (Makoto, Kaguya and Megumin, though Makoto doesn't qualify for FiJ) and all three are absolutely top tier waifus. Or maybe this is just my own preferences.

Makoto. Every. Single. Time.

Yes, "mother-like qualities"! I really was under impression that Joker and Makoto cared for Phantom Thieves as their children, especially Futaba.

I'm a sucker for her big red eyes. And her personality of course. Also she has the coolest phantom thief outfit.

"Nuclear is a newcomer to persona" P1&2 "Am I a joke to you?"

Makoto isnt a waifu, he is a door

OK let me run by the checklist here: Has Red eyes check! Knows martial arts check! Is the student body president check! Has a dope a** motorcycle as a persona check! Has a sexy as h*** Phantom thief outfit which shows all of her curves in all the right places check! Is a dork check! Voiced by the ever lovely Cherami Leigh big check! Overall:.... I am so glad I made makoto my Waifu in my 1st run of persona 5 OG because I love this girl so much.

She has a particular "Good Girl" vibes... Almost like she'd be a little over prepared if you got injured.

My favorite trait of Makoto ? Her figure her proportions of her body are perfect at least to someone like me

Here's a little bit of trivia, Makoto's Metaverse outfit, especially her scarf, can be seen as a reference to Kamen Rider, especially those from the tokusatsu Showa Period. The reference is heightened further by Johanna's motorcycle appearance. "Rider" is also one of the suggested nicknames for her. Makoto also shares the pronunciation of her given name with Makoto Fukami from Kamen Rider Ghost.

I'm only gonna say this once. MAKOTO IS BEST GIRL

"Mako to loves to be on top....of her motorcycle" I feel like shes more of a power bottom but I still thought the joke was funny hahaha

Of all the girls in the Persona series (FEMC not withstanding) I think Makoto is honestly my favourite and I think it's because she probably the layered character in the series thus far embodying multiple character traits that either compliment each other or provide contrast and making her seem more human and far more relatable. She's a genius, who is prone to acting impulsive, she's a girl who thinks a lot about her future but is shy when it comes to pursuing whom she wants to share it with, she wants to help people and gets badly hurt when it seems half the game is against her. And of course, like all best girls in this series she has those soft red eyes.

Before the video : Makoto is cute but unfortunately she couldn't be cuter 4:49 : *WEAK*

She's also the most canon waifu out of all the P5 girls.

A nuclear waifu? Where do i sign?

It’s funny just how out of all the P5 girls, the games not-so-subtly ship Makoto with Joker the most. Her first Confidant event is effectively a date, she gets asked multiple times within the actual story of the games if they’re dating and both of them are often paired together when the team splits up.

I'm not really into short or ponytail hair but Makoto is cute and waifu material.

4:21 I lover her blushing face

Great job as always man. I like how you added in some of her voice lines in between as if she is commentating on your reasons lol

So glad you brought up her english VA. She vocies so many best girls

One feature about Makoto I think haters don't get is how much more down to earth she is compared to the other P5 waifu. She's not an heiress who tries to be unique by wearing pink floofy cardigans, she's also not a mukokuseki with platinum blonde fully body hair. And she's not a long-legged shut up in who's hair dye, and weight are somehow not abyssmal despite not properly taking care of herself for 2 years. Aside from her eye color Makoto looks like a regular girl and it's entirely possible someone her age is decent at cooking, is smart, and despite being a waif can throw down to varying degrees thanks to aikidou which police officers in the east do learn.

Your narration skills improved my friend

I still think Makoto is best girl and Waifu of the series.

I love her, especially her pose in battle when you Baton Pass to her or when she does Allout Attack

In a game with MANY top tier waifus Makoto managed to steal my heart. I'm into older women like any cultured person and imagine picking Makoto over Kawakami, Ohya, Tae and Chihaya. That's how much of a best girl she is

Makoto feels like a genuine partner, a full equal. The fact that she’s unofficially the second-in-command of the Thieves only makes her more feel like the intended main romance choice. People call her boring, but they’re mistaking that for the fact that she’s the most put-together. While everyone else is trying to recover from some terrible trauma inflicted upon them, Makoto’s arc is more about her finding her own place in the world. She’s ultimately her own motivator, which makes the romance with Joker feel more like a partnership than a potential dependency.

"reason 10: nuclear." She is an atomic bomb, what more do you need.

I always thought of my sister as Makoto and me as Futaba.

In my first playthrough, I have my doubts about her, but when I finished, I totally love her 😊😭♥️

When picking a girl to romance in P5, I was having a tough time deciding between Makoto & Ann. Makoto won out in the end cause, after some in depth thinking, I found she was my type of girl. She's kind and cares about her friends and family, being one of the older members she more mature but still a bit child-like, her moment of panic when the lights go out at Futaba's house and how she clings to Joker's leg when Futaba scares her makes her a little more cute, but when it's go time she's fierce and determined, my heart skips a beat whenever she has those little moments.

I love her outfit. What's the best rebelious image of someone who is the class president and studies a lot in order to become a police commisioner in order to keep the peace? A person who wanders around a lawless desolated place.

Persona 5 Waifu. She is a badass character. You are included video games Waifus to your list is awesome.

I love her English Voice Actress too, I first heard her as Lucy Heartfilia in Fairy Tail but didn't take notice of her VA and became more aware of her unitl Asuna Yuki in SAO it's the same time I became more aware of Bryce Papenbrook Bryce is my fav male English VA and Cherami is my fav female English VA. It's why I love her so much. Same with Kawagami I love her cause she's Yukari from P3's VA and Rukia from Bleach's VA

Don't forget, she also resembles Chie (which is also the best girl) because both of them are great fighters, short haired, tomboyish & loves martial arts movies.

I'm so glad I found these vids lol the editing and banter is top tier 🤣

00:38 p1 and 2 fans * typing intensifies *

Persona 5 was the first persona game I played, so I didn't know much about the series at the time..With Makoto being the only s-link I maxed out you can tell how immersed I was with her character. The game had me hooked and everything about her s-link was perfect for me. I could go into more detail about it, but it would take a while lol. Even after playing royal with the introduction of Kasumi, Makoto was my only romance option and seeing the new dates and how they made her even better, I didn't regret my choice at all. The game made it hard to break the other girls hearts especially Yoshizawa's, because they're all great romance options(well maybe not Ohya and Futuba in my opinion). But Makoto will always be my #1 Waifu, and the dream is to find a woman like her in real life one day.

I like something about all the different girls in the PTs, but Makoto is easily my favorite. From her figure, to her character. And yeah, her voice actress is a big part of it for me too.

0:38 "nuclear is new to the persona series" It's been in every mainline game with the exception of 3 and 4...

Reason 0: SHE T H I C C !

She's she's responsible, she's smart like if I was still in school she would probably help me study and make sure I get good grades I definitely like her phantom thief outfit among the other costumes and lastly her persona I mean dude it's a motorcycle lol

0:52 Now I need both Makotos dancing to Mass Destruction

Best review damn that was good

1:54 "Do you wanna get smacked?" yes, yes i do

Okay now i want to play Persona (never played none of this games before nor wathed anime) Thanks for motivation :з

I like the fact you used smug megumin in that cutscene with Makoto ripping her mask off lmao

0:36 Nuclear has been around since the first Persona game, it's not new it just made a comeback

Hehe amazing 🙏🏻❤️❤️

Talking about appearance, personally she’s the most natural of all the OG members. Ann is born and raised by international designer parent(s?) so obviously she’ll find a way to maintain and keep up her look. Haru is well, born and raised by a wealthy family, pretty much the same as Ann. Futaba is..eh all about nerdy stuff which i guess she doesn’t really care about look (the words that i can describe her is acquired taste i guess). So yeah natural beaut is all that matters, at least for me

Make Kazuma, in the name of gender equality!

WAIT THE OUTFIT AT THE TOP AT 7:57 IS A RWBY REFERENCE

What kind of cultured channel is this ? Subscribed immediately

Shes so so so cute, my favorite of the main party by far.

The perfect video essay doesn't exi-

Looking cool Makoto! Eeee!

JUST LOVE THIS GIRL SO MUCH

Cherami Leigh also voiced Asuna from SAO. Her badassery knows no limits.

The first time I passed persona 5 Royale I went with Sumire... But man, Makoto? Is best girl for a long shot, I am passing the game again, the first two palaces are a bit meh, because I can't see her, and kinda boring but when I fell like that I just see some Makoto related stuff and I jump straight into the Ps4 hyped to see Makoto in all of the "special events" during the game. She is the only one who can make me play a 100hrs game over again.

I love her best because she's a perfect match for Joker and the vision I see of them both in the future is just too fucking beautiful it always brings a tear to my eye. A kickass police commissioner married to a Diet member (who's probably grown one hell of a 5 o'clock shadow by that time) and they go on the most romantic dates on their days off.

God DAMM IT FUTABA YOU CALLED US ALL OUT

7:50 She looks and dances like a middle aged mom here. Anyway Makoto Niijima best Persona girl

Is Chermie Leigh the new Tara Strong? She's everywhere now.

Happy birthday Makoto🎉🎂🎁🎊

About her nuke element, you forgot to mention that burn, shock, and freeze ailment all will get technical damage when hit with nuke element skills. (Technical increases damage of usual magic elemental skills). She also learns auto-rakukaja, has marakukaja, has high endurance and has mediarahan. Bringing her is like bringing tanker, healer, and damage all at once

My favorite kind of personality in a girl: D W E E B Y

Bruh. I chose Makoto as my first waifu material in my first gameplay completion cuz she's smart, young, and has spunk with a good and beautiful personality. XD

I keep watching this video over and over again. Help me.

Makoto is just so perfect, best girl

6:04 no context, you're welcome

While Makoto definitly makes a great waifu, I think Sae is better. Like always, great work! (p.s. I hope the in youtube unmentionnable virus is not affecting you too much.)

So adorkable 😂

2:27 I'll let this last surprise joke go ONLY because you put the torture dance in

"Neclear power is useful when handled properly." *Shows the nuclear power plant from The Simpsons*

Makoto is adorkable, and I love her for it. When she followed Yu while pretending to read a manga was hilarious.

Please do Haru/Noire next? Ann/Panther, and Futaba/Oracle are on the table too.

I love her the First Moment i see her!!! So beatiful

2:05 I like it cut G

Honestly even after persona 5 royal released I still liked her more than sumere

Excellent

I’m glad I finally beat persona 5 so I can watch these without worrying about spoilers

You're making a case of why Makoto waifu material but showing me the ultimate waifu of all time Tifa??

Is no one going to talk about how Makoto's mask looks like The World's helmet

nice vid

Makoto, the nuke queen "I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to put a flame in your heart."
