Respect: a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. 1 Like = +1 Respect for Ryuji Pls, Let's all save best boi's dignity. He deserves so much more.

Ryuji's only crime is being best boy.

It's ok, the chocolate from his mom still counts.

Sure you can romance Makoto or whatever, but in the end it is all about that bromance. He has already stolen the spot of best boy.

He is the bro we need, but not the one we deserve.

You missed the best part dude, the final arc of story where Ryuji says, “ No one expects much outta me anyway,” Really made me wanna punch the protagonist for not being a good bro.

R.I.P naruto Killed by junko enoshima, a robot, inkling from splatoon, and a cinnamon roll

Ryuji is hereby the coolest persona user. I mean, he survived an explosion. The man deserves respect.

I think what bothered me the most was how they left him in the street. I mean I'm use to the anime trope of beating someone up but then you leave him there and pretend he doesn't exisit, when he literally risked his life is just... :/

Ryuji is the unsung hero of Persona 5 and those additional voice overs were great.

It's super messed up that the girls beat Ryuji up after he saved there lives, but it's also messed up that Joker and Yusuke let it happen. They did NOTHING to help him. After they beat him up Yusuke is literally like, "I'm hungry".

May fav part of that 'Ryuji is our fastest runner' thing is that Big Brain Makoto over there just completely fuckin forgot that she literally has a summonable bike that could have been used to get there way faster. Same with chasing Morgana in mementos during *that* arc in the plot.

I hope y'all can realize how great Ryuji character is from this vid. Yes he is an idiot sometimes anf very loud, but he had a rough past with his fathers abuse. Kids can sometimes end up like that from abuse(I'm not 100% sure on that I saw a vid talking about Ryuji's character could be wrong) The point I'm trying to make is that Ryuji is often viewed a comedy relief when there is a LOT more to his character. He does idiotic things i.e. him taking about the phantom thieves out in public. However he has helped the phantom a lot to the point where he almost dies which kinda makes up for his idiocy. But when the rest find out that he was alive, they just abused him and didn't even thank him because appearantly to Atlus, a boy who seemingly almost died for the sake for others and getting abused after idoing that is "funny." I cab see why people would get made if one of there friends was thought to be dead but it ended up being a hoax because the person was trying to pull off a pranj, but I don't think you shoyld be made if someone never intentionally want to think he was dead and while at SAVE YOUR GOD DAMN LIFE! Not to mention that he is very caring for his mom and all the other phantom thieves. Yeah he and morgana fight a lot but a lot of it starts mostly from morgana making fun of him constantly even when he doesn't say anything. I honestly think that this man deserves at least some moment of actual respect. I know this is a long comment, but I honestly just needed to say that because while Ryuji may not br my fav character(2nd best boi) he deserves respect.... A LOT OF IT!!!!

Ryuji: Gets all out attacked for existing

Look how they massacred my boy...

In all honesty, Junpei, Yosuke, and Ryuji are my favorite characters not just because they're Bros, but because they all have bad circumstances and yet they try to be happy and fight their asses off. They all have many accomplishments and are extremely reliable friends, plus their personalities are like gold. Yes, they have flaws, but who doesn't? Do they deserve the extremely underrated and downright insulting treatment they get? Absolutely not. This is why I hold these characters deep in my heart. P.S. thanks for reading this, I've always wanted to say this because I love these characters and hate how they're treated in the fanbase as well.

13:56 E V E R Y O N E D I S L I K E D T H A T

Ryuji: *gets insulted, beat up, and bullied* Yusuke: So anyways I started feeling hungry...

During my first playthrough of the game, I deadass almost bawled when the ship exploded and we thought we lost Ryuji. The amount of disrespect he gets truly hacks me off. He deserves so much resect. I've honestly prolly cried over Ryuji than over anything in the whole game...

The girls doing that to Ryugi at the end made me disrespect all of them. Little tired of everything the girls get away with in Persona games

Ryuji...I salute to you 👏🏻🤣

Best character in the game. I’ll stand by it to the death.

I felt really bad that the game didn't let me go and help Ryuji after he was beat up by the girls, i mean, come on, he was trying to light the mood, it was probably the worse thing to say, but it wasn't that bad so they should have beat him up... And it was at that moment the game betray me, it didn't let me help my bro, it just made me part of the a-holes that didn't got it... And it was the first game in a while, with a silent protagonist, that made me put on his skin... And he betray me at that moment.

Remember kids, when you cut a genuine moment of characther growth for meaningles anime antics, that means you have went full anime, don't do like atlus, never go full anime.

this whole thing kinda pissed me off, i really love ryuji and seeing him get this treatment as comedy purposes is stupid. in his social link, he's literally like "lol i got abused by my dad" and then atlus is like "LMAO LET'S MAKE EVERYONE BEAT HIM UP AND MAKE FUN OF HIM." it is *not* funny, the only one who gets a pass is ann and akira since clearly, they're all very close. morgana being a douche to him doesn't make sense at all?? he constantly shits on ryuji and for what? it gets so annoying after the first few times. i really hope atlus will fix these problems in their remake of persona 5 but you know what, knowing them, they probably won't. oh yea, and no hate to the video creator!

Although i kinda hated the one in the end of the video where Ryuji gets beat up by his friends. I just felt that was kinda mean spirited on what they did to him and just left him there where a stranger out of nowhere could've kidnapped him or take his money or do god knows what to him while he's unconscious with no one around watching out for him. Although i understand they were kinda pissed but still. They could've bring his unconscious body with them or send him home or something. The developers could've made it where his friends did beat him up but only a little bit to the point where he's still conscious.

Why did he face the abuse that he did, he was the biggest bro you can ask for. How dare you blame Ryuji?

I forgot how much I hate the Shinjuku scene. God knows what they could’ve done to him! And Ren, the trusted leader and Ryuji’s best friend, just lets him get dragged away by them. Like this is not ok???

Compare to Junpei in terms of teammates is respected by all except Yukari Ryuji respected mostly by Ren Akira

Want a version for Yusuke! I hate how they simply treat him as a wacko and constantly diss on his artwork. They keep forgetting the kind of life he had with Madarame and how it still affects him. Actually, in general, the Thieves are douchebags to each other. The ones that suffer less are Futaba (because she's smol and the trauma) and Makoto (because she is metal mom). The rest are constantly shunned by the others. Even Ann does not get the level of respect she has clearly asked for. Uuurgh! I want Atlus to fix that in their P5 "golden" version.

#GiveRyujiRespect2019 edit: a number

Japan always treat the comic relief this way. No surprise there. They are a literal joke, depsite how cool they can be

Ryuji deserved so much better. I really hope they give him some respect in Persona 5 Royal.

That's why I named my character Ryuji Sakamoto on my second playthrough Now ryuji will get all the ladies

I always hated the part when they beat him up.

Forget the dating route, just give my boi some respect!

You can date your teacher...but not the guy who's so, so into you...come ON Atlus

Ryuji is that really Cool Friend that everyone seems to treat like Shit even though he’s clearly the best out of the team

Ryuji is best waifu PERIOD!!!!!

When Morgana disappears and comes back after a month after not risking his life he gets a pat on the back but for ryuji it’s different wow

Mishima laughing is so pure He's a good boi no bulli pls

11:41 I love this scene because of Mishima. I enjoyed hearing him having the time of his life.

Ryuji has the most tragic story in the persona series.

Woah woah woah. Why isn’t anyone talking about Yusuke suddenly bringing up Futaba at 2:52 ?

That last scene I hate so much, ryuji is willing to risk his life for his friends and at the end he still get treated like shit. ATLUS FIX THIS IN THE ROYAL PLEASE

Probably the thing more painful about Ryuji's getting beat up after his comeback is that later, Morgana, who is kinda an a-hole anyways, has one of his own and... Nobody is upset. Despite him letting them worry and INTENTIONALLY staying away from the group for several months only to continue being sarcastic. Yet Ryuji gets beat up.

even if you don't like ryuji, deep down you know he's best boy. you don't have a choice.

Next Episode will be Fuuka is Unpredictable

ryuji "dying" made me cry and then afterwards they just beat him up?? he's the group idiot but he is truly the best boy in persona 5

Glad I can count on you Ryuji- *Boom*

9:26 Futaba Ace attorney confirmed

"Joker, what qualities do you value in a woman?" Me: ...being a man?

Morgana: I’ll just leave him be.

Ryuji is an OG member who did a lot more than any of the other members of the PT, but constantly gets painted as the inferior one. If it weren't for him, Joker might not have been able to use Sinful Shell on The God Of Control and wouldn't even have awakened to his Persona.

max mittelman has so mucb fun with ryuji and itto hes king

12:45 - After this part I hated the entire cast for the rest of the game just because of this. Had I need a phantom thief I would not let that shit stand.

They should give us an option to beat up anyone who shit talks Ryuji for no reason.

His voice actor did an excellent job. Y’all should check him out, he’s great. 😂👍

The recurring cutscene of the girls inflicting comedic overkill abuse on the boy/s has to be there, hasn't it? -_- Everyone would raise hell if Yosuke kicked Chie in her private area over a broken CD, or if the Persona 4 guys beat up the girls for "intruding" on their personal bathtime, or if the Persona 3 girls were "executed" by the boys for a misunderstanding, and not to mention the scene where Ryuji gets beaten up and ignored for saving lives... I don't like how the abuse towards the boys is normalized and treated casually. I mean, c'mon, Atlus!

Lol they kinda did ryuji dirty

Does the chocolate I got from my mum count?

14:13 Mona: You’re pathetic. *(Loads shotgun) Peace was never an option.*

Seriously I hated the characters after Shido’s palace! I didn’t care for how Ryuji got knocked down to comic relief after you befriend him, it’s a trope with all best friend persona characters.

4:54 - You're the one who obsesses over it

Ryuji is my favortie character in this game. He is awesome ^^

don't worry bro-ji, i'm here for you

He's one of a kind. He'd honesty be my best friend for life

I am sorry to say this but, Ryuji just basically got "The Hagakure Treatment"! Unlike Hagakure from Danganronpa, You can at least respect Ryuji in different ways. I agree, Ryuji deserved Better! Like Really!

I'd set up the Ryuji harem just to see what he would do and if he would survive

0:39 This smile… I will protect this smile… I will FIGHT you for this smile… You will not hurt this smile…

Let's take a moment to realise the whole game and everything within is litterally thanks to ryuji

Ryuji! My best boi!!! You are not comedic relief, you are a flawed character with a likeable personality! I will go Bayonetta mode to anyone dares abuse my best boi!!!

The scene where they beat up ryuji after the cruise dungeon is the worst scene in the game. Its a prime example why i hate p5s writing, it doesnt know when to let go of the anime hijinks when its trying to have serious moments. That gag was pulled off terribly as it wasnt the right moment for that to happen. It made the characters look like psychopaths rather than being a funny scene. He risked his life for fuck sake.

Y:" What kind of girls do you like?" R:"Well, the ones with hot bod...but also the nerdy ones!" Y:You are desperate! And you Joker?". J:"I take everything..." Y:" You Gentleman!" Yes, the universe itself cant agree with Ryuji.

literally my most hated scene in the entire game is what happened after Shido's palace. i get that the writers wanted it to be funny and stuff, but the dude literally just risked his life to save his entire team and THATS what he gets? SEES and the Investigation Team wouldnt do him like that...

how could you make ryuji a punching bag

11:37 Akira: I hAvE sToLeN eVeRyOnE's HeArT

He even try to make things go smooth with Akechi when he returns in Royal, such a good boy

Ryuji helped me through a time where all my friends were ignoring me. I think he deserves so much more respect.

Ryuji best boy, you can’t deny that

No words could describe how angry I felt when I saw Ryuji get jumped by his own comrades

Ryuji is best boi Change my mind

2:50 Yusuke is protecting his waifu.

Ryuji: *almost fucking dies* The Girls: I know how about we beat the shit out of him god I hate that fucking scene so much

How many for real's did Ryuji say

Ryuji deserved so much better, I'm so pissed.

Jumpei, Yosuke, and Ryuji those three allways gets craped on by their "friends" maybe Kanji fit too

You can be a hero You can survive a big explotion like nothing But you can't make your female teammates cry and survive xD

I love this video

Happy 20th birthday, Ryuji!!! -July 3rd 1999- (cancer)

the reason i never romance ann is because i respect ryuji too much

Glad I can count on you, Ryu-OOF

ryuji deserves love and yet gets Zero respect, why else do you think we have a dedicated kiss ryuji day

3:58 WHAT! who the hell said that??

Man, Persona always has the best bros. Ryuji, Brosuke, hatbro.

So instead of “beating him to death” and leaving Akira (fuck ren) who should be best friends with ryuji doesn’t just stand there but actually tires to diffuse the situation Dialogue choices would be like “glad your alive!” or “I thought you were dead” showing concern along with happiness but of course the girls are seeing red and it doesn’t work and either Akira or Ryuji yell RUN As both boys run from the mob of girls with yusuke and morgana catching up the mad dash turns into a victory lap as everyone starts to smile and by the end they yell WE DID IT!!!

This Truly Shows Why Ryuji Has Everyones Respect! Shenpai Would Be Proud Of Her Boy.

when he said 2:48 : 🤪🥰 JUST THE WAY HE SAID IT HHH
