Ryuji deserves a group hug, not an all out attack

Being Ryuji is suffering. All he did was staying alive :(

did they just beat up ryuji for almost dying? oh my god

Well, congrats Ryuji. You got your wish. You were hit on by chicks.

*Ryuji almost dies *Gets Beaten Up *Morgana lives as a stray only to upstage MC's return from Prison *Is welcomed with open arms

Plot Twist: They hugged him so hard he passed out

I know this scene was supposed to be played for laughs, but I'm starting to feel bad for Ryuji.

poor boy, he saves your lives and this is how you treat him? smh

Ryuji had been abused, had his leg broke and saved you and you repay him by knocking him out!? 👏 ha

you can hear the legitimate fear in his voice

The most stupid scene in the entire game, thank you very much. I was shocked. You don't beat someone who literally sacrificed his life for you up.

Ryuji: “Saves The Entire Team And Almost Dies” Team: “Knocks Him Out” Me: *im never using any of you ever again*

You know a concussion isn’t the type of reward I’d give someone who sprinted across an exploding ship on a bad leg to save my life.

honestly this is my least favorite moment in the game Ryuji gone through so much abuse and when he almost died trying to save the team he gets beaten up, this scean tries so hard to be that classic anime troupe of girl hits guy because guy acts dumb, but at a time like this it is not even funny

Like why did they beat him up? All the bad shit happens to Ryuji. For one, he was almost sexually assaulted in Shinjuku, two, he was blamed multiple times for the Phantom Thieves getting caught when it wasn't always entirely his fault, three, he got beat up just after a near-death experience, especially since he had an abusive father and was abused by a teacher. That's NOT okay.

The girls: I can’t believe he’s dead Ryuji: hey guys i’m aliv- The girls: HOW DARE YOU COME BACK?! *Beat him up and leave his unconscious body there*

I swear to God if Atlus doesn't fix this scene in P5R

2:35 Headcanon: Ryuji got his well deserved hugs and kisses from the rest of the team and passed out from shock.

I absolutely hate this scene. The animated cutscene was so awesome... only to be followed up with *this*. It pisses me off knowing this is what follows up such a great Ryuji moment. It pretty much ruins that cutscene for me. Ryuji had no idea they thought he was dead. It's not like he planned that whole thing either! He didn't deserve that crap.

At least Haru says "we were worried about you!" So it seems to me that they only beat him up for his insensitivity. ....they still were way outta line for doing that, though. Ryuji should be getting a massive group hug

MC: *almost dies* MC: *comes back with open arms* Ryuji: *almost dies* Ryuji: *comes back and gets beaten up*

mom: sweetie, why do you look so down? me: oh, it’s nothing. i’m fine. also me: *thinking about this scene*

Seriously, this is why i'm positive ann likes ryuji. This, the scene where she screams when he's disappearing. She would be torn apart without him.

Joseph does it for a fe months everyone is happy tears, Ryuji does it for a few minnute and everybody hits him

This is the reason why Morgana does not come back immediately after he "disappears" with the Metaverse

atlus: we added a scene where they beat up ryuji after he almost died literally no one: What a great idea

**Ryuji comes back** Persona 5 Girls: "I'm gonna do what's called. A pro Sakura Haruno move."

I know you guys are worried about him, but he literally almost died. Shouldn't you thankful that he didn't die instead of beating the crap out of him?

Yusuke: he was our charge commander Mona: I secretly was jealous of him Ren: he was my best friend Ann: *he was just our fastest runner*

Haru:didnt you die? Ryuji:my death was greatly exageratted

He literally almost died and he gets beat up! What kinda friends are they?!

i think someone needs to change the phantoms thieves hearts wtf

WORST FEW MINUTES OF MY LIFE

imagine if the roles were reversed

I wonder how the anime will handle this scene, I was honestly fine with Ann slapping but beating him up to a pulp is just too much now. Then leaving him there alone in the streets felt like his selfless sacrifice that he did for them was for nothing.

"We thought you died!" "What? Hell no! You guys are freaking out, and eheh, your crying face isn't very cute~ Right?" *Girls close in over the course of a few seconds on the guy who just saved their lives and made one single harmless wise crack and beat the fuck out of him and leave him actually unconcious* "BOY I'M FUCKIN' HUNGRY AM I RIGHT? LET'S GO EAT"

Would've been funny if he said "I rode my persona out"

I know this is an old video, but here's something I wanted to share, after this scene, where Ryuji gets his undeserved punishment, I started thinking about how ATLUS could've made Ryuji's sacrifice more meaningful, not only that, have more character development for Ryuji In my take of Ryuji's sacrifice, instead of being literally blasted back into reality, he was actually blasted deeper into mementos, now all alone with the shadows, the door to the upper floors locked until the party makes it to the door, Ryuji would obviously be afraid and exhausted, but he would also have to survive, back in reality everyone would have the same reactions as before, but this time there's no comedic relief, everyone would despair, and sorries would be said about how they all treated Ryuji, eventually the day would pass. Now in this scenario maybe one more month needs to be added before the last trip into mementos; a day or two after Ryuji's "passing" the police would inquire everyone who had any relations to Ryuji, no one can say a thing about it all because it's all related to the phantom thieves, back to Ryuji, maybe a week has passed, can't go hungry in Mementos so no worries there, Ryuji when he's not being attacked, thinks about his life up to where he is now, reflects on his behaviour, and in general matures a lot. Everyone refuses to go to Mementos because they're all depressed, but then all of the events that would lead up to the last trip would happen, with a renewed resolve everyone heads to Mementos, Futaba, and Morgana picks up a familiar signal/scent in the lower floors of Mementos.

POOR RYUJI GOT SLAPPED BY ANN FOR ALMOST DYING AND FAINTED RIP RYUJI

I still don't understand why the others didn't even thank Ryuji, like- the dude gambled his life for his friends, knowing fully well one of his legs had been injured. I would understand if the girls hit him a little since he mocked their crying, but ya know, they should have at least hugged him at the end? The dude is a bit of a dumbass, but he is human too.

me, as Akira looking at Ann: "leave my boyfriend the eff alone how dare you hurt him"

0:30 ok its time to get personal, when Yuske said “this isn’t funny” and laughed I kinda have done something similar to that whenever something really sad has happened in my life and I don’t know why. I guess I’m just someone who doesn’t always see the best in things but try’s to deject it with comedy and when something tragic in my life has happened I either can’t find the cruel punchline or the situation is so apsurde and so sad that I can’t help but laugh and I always tell myself “why? Why am I laughing?” I’m really glad Ryuji is alive but still this scene reminds me of something’s I’d like to forget.

I was PISSED at this scene and I don't see a lot of people complaining about it? Ryuji SAVED THEIR LIVES and what did he get? Getting BEAT UP. I lost interest in all of the girls because of that. And NO ONE stood up for him. I feel like smacking all the girls...

And they didn't even change this scene in P5R. I thought when they said they change a certain questionable scene, it was gonna be this one. Big sad.

0:28 literally everyone after seeing this scene

After this scene everyone's team is just gonna be Joker, Ryuji, Morgana and (if P5R) Kasumi/Akechi

If this scene is supposed to be funny it isn't. The only scene that's funny is seeing Akira get his ass kicked on Valentine's Day.

Ryuji is best girl

My head canon is that they group-hugged the life out of him.

Honest to god, I love how Yusuke's like "I'm feeling quite hungry."

Ryuji literally saves everyone and almost dies but once he comes back and accidentally says some insensitive shit they commence an All Out Attack on him some friends

:( Why did not Joker help him?

My man ryuji just got killed because he didn't die? This just aint right. Ryuni needs some love

We’re you killed? “Sadly yes” “BUT I LIVED!”

This scene pisses me off every time

Headcannon: He got hugged by literally everyone and passed out due to how embarrassed he was. It didn't happen but it be nice if it did.

This is the embodiment of the phrase: “if you die, I’ll kill you!”

P5R is my favorite game but AHHHHH I hate this scene so bad, P5’s over reliance on slapstick was awful especially when that slapstick was on a character with an abusive father and teacher.

Bruh being Ryuji in P5 is like being any of the male party members in P4. Suffering and *nothing else.*

This scene honestly makes me mad. I get the whole cliche of "If you die, I'm gonna kill you." but when it happens it usually ends in a gentle scene of hugs and reminiscing before the character is revealed to be alive and everyone is just happy they're alive. I know it's obvious they were trying to make the scene feel comical in a way but it felt overwhelming, especially towards ryuji. Besides had they made it seem like he had actually been killed off and he reimmerges later during the final act I think the impact would have been bigger and him revealing that he was doing this as a surprise would have warranted Ann and Futaba leading the charge like they did, but this was too much and it felt like it fell in the cliche of a guy doing something wrong and getting hit for it but way over the top. Overall probably the worst scene in the game and it could've been better.

I CAN FEEL THE EMOTIONAL SHIFTS WITH THOSE LONG PAUSES

It's upsetting that for so long he's been the punching bag for his father and Kamoshida, and now that he finally finds people he can call family he's still the punching bag. Ryuji gets nothing but shit on the entire game, it's really fucking annoying. It's not funny either. Mona and the girls are allowed to bully him but he almost dies trying to save their stupid asses and he gets ganged up on and yelled at? Bullshit. Here to remind you Ryuji still has a bad leg from his past, yet he still did all of that for the people he loves. And this is how they repay him. Bullshit

I cried when I thought ryuji died cuz he's my favorite character

"Wait, that didn't kill you?" "No" "Well, this will"

Joker: turns out to be alive after the PT assumed he was dead PT: group hug Ryuji: does the same PT females: ALL OUT ATTACK

If I was Ryuji in this scene I would’ve left the Phantom Thieves at this point. I’ve been abused, sexually assaulted, got my leg broken, and almost died trying to save you guys, and y’all just beat me up and leave me alone on a pole on the street to actually die? Like man fuck you guys, I’m joining the S.E.E.S. or the Investigation Team instead lol.

I ship ann and ryuji...because they really care about each other..😍

Ryuji gets way too much shit. It’s made me upset the whole game

*t h i s* is what my favorite character got after almost dying. What the fuck.

Ryuji: (Barely dies from saving the Phantom Theives) Girls: *You sick bastard!*

I like ryuji's calm reaction when he came back ........... "what?"

This scene really pissed me off. This guy saved your asses and you beat him up for no good reason?

Am I the only one who wasn't pissed off at this scene?

This is the scene that pissed everyone off

Let me remind you, Ryuji is an abuse victim as well. What they did was super fucking shitty.

He almost died and they nearly killed him themselves when he didn’t. That sounds about right.

Ryuji deserved a hug not an All out attack 💀

Ryuji does not deserve this

This is why I spend Valentine’s Day with him. Gotta be there for your homie.

Ryuji deserve a hug not a beating

Man what if Ryuji actually died back there? The phantom thieves would be more appreciative of what he does for the team. They give him way less credit than he deserves

dude...you're so slow pressing up for the next character txt

Yosuke and Ryuji get shat on by on by there respective teams to much

Words cannot describe how much I hated this scene

It was that moment ryuji knew he f up

They should’ve edited this scene in Royal. It’s so tone deaf it hurts.

Man I just watched this scene and I remember thinking Any second he’s gonna walk by and be like wow that was a crazy explosion right?

Poor Ryuji :(

I like to think that they didn’t beat him up, but rather the girls cried and gave him a group hug and the reason why he’s passed out there is cuz they hugged him way too damn tightly for him to even breath.

This is what he get for breathing air

Even though I admit I laughed at this scene, I can see some people seeing this as a harsh treatment they've done to Ryuji and not knowing about his traumatic past. Speaking of which, I wonder what's he thinking while being unconscious.

Like, if they'd gotten mad at him, slapped him but then like group-hugged him straight after or something I'd be ok, but NOT beat him after he almost got killed.

Poor Ryuji 😔

Me first time watching this: Oh my god this is a great character moment showing how he goes from tripping while they escape Kamoshida's palace to getting strong enough to run and save all the Phantom Thieves. Atlus: We got em

I’d at least be fine with this scene if Ann slapped him and then they all hugged Ruji. Ryuji made fun of Ann thinking he died, so of course she’d be upset. But they should all still be happy he lived not beat him up just because THEY thought he died.

I lowkey cried

That beat down did more damage than the explosion

Why did they cry, ryuji can survive breaking his own neck in his all out attack, I think he can survive an explosion

That slap though is Ann some kind of superhuman

this scene was so ridiculously out of character that i just pretend it doesnt happen
