"85 yen for your friend" *glances at near 10 million yen in your pocket* "Sorry bro bit tight on cash"

Title: "Ryuji is worth 85 yen" Your actions say he is worth less than 85 yen

There was probably a silent "for real!?!" from Ryuji when he was just killed for a less-than-a-dollar ransom.

"Joker, I can't believe I'm saying this, but how could you sell out Skull for 85 cents?!" "You think I coulda gotten more?"

Ryuji, tears streaming down his face, reaches into his pocket and pays his own ransom with leftover change.

Imagine being held hostage for a ransom of 3 quarters and a dime.

The cut away from 85 yen ransom to a 10 million yen bank account only to refuse paying the 85 yen is golden

Ryuji is better then Spongebob since Mr. Krabs sold Spongebob for 62 cents.

Everyone is talking about how cruel it was to let ryuji die like that, and I'm just sitting here thinking about that poor shadow who has to kidnap people for pocket change.

offer denied because he's priceless

Congratulations, Ryuji Sakamoto, you are officially worth one-third of a Dr. Salt NEO.

Not only did you refuse to give them less than one dollar for Ryuji, you also didn’t even call the Thieves Guild to get him back for free This is just bullying at that point

Joker: has over 9 million yen Also joker: "I can't meet your demands."

Joker: haves 9mil yen* Nekomata: just a dollar? Joker: nah, panther your up Nekomata: fine just give me some stamina Joker: nah, sorry skull Skull: FoRrEaL!?

Ann: Honestly, Joker! Are you really that stingy that you wouldn't pay 85 yen for Ryuji?! Makoto: I have to agree, that was nothing short of cold hearted. Ryuji: Bro, what the hell?! Ren: I'm sorry Ryuji. I was so offended that they offered such a low amount for my best friend that I was... just blinded by my anger. Ryuji: ...bro. Ann & Makoto: What the hell?! *[I feel my bond with Ryuji is growing deeper...]*

*ryuji dies* Morgana: Two foes left! Let’s do this!

Ann referring to Ryuji as _"That"_ as if she wasn't even acknowledging him as a person, Joker refusing to take a paper cut's worth of damage after the ransom was reduced to ZERO and then Morgana immediately glossing over his subsequent death as a result couldn't be more tragically hilarious if it were actually written into the games narrative.

cmon i know not everyone likes ryuji but less than a dollar? really? that's just mean.

"85 yen? do I look like I'm rich?" "But you are-"

Imagine being held hostage for literally less than a dollar and you're best friend refuses to pay it because they thought it would be funny. The damn war crime version of do it for the vine.

Ryuji was just giving Joker the dirtiest look for the rest of the infiltration. Even Kaneshiro acknowledged how cruel that was over the intercom.

The Yusuke art of not spending any money.

The fact that mona doesn't even bring up Ryuji's death is perfect.

Neko: Give me 85 yen and i’ll spare your best friend... Joker with 9,975,829 yen: Ryuji, you’re gonna have to take one for the team...

Ryuji: Phew, Only 85 yen I'm saved! Joker, holding a bag of money: I can't meet your demands Ryuji: ...

"I want 85 yen" "Let me ask the treasurer. Yusuke? You got 85 yen?"

Kaneshiro is probably watching this like: "Cmon even I aint THAT stingy"

Imagine she just decided to let him go after you refused simply to enjoy the fact Ryuji is going to remember that you were going to let him die.

Joker flat out telling Ryuji he's not worth even half a soda from the school vending machine.

"Give us 85 yen" Joker "I don't negotiate with terrorists!"

the fact you got that far in the game without a hostage situation to get the tutorial popup makes this even funnier

Ann: No... How could you take that from us? Nekomata: Bro I am asking for 85 yen

You were at the HP cap and near the money cap, yet you left my boy to die.

Joker: "Give my friend back!" Nekomata: "Fine, 85 yen." Joker: "Sorry Ryuji, getting a bit too rich for my blood. Have fun with Nekomata."

you may have saved ryuji but you absolutely destroyed ryuji's self esteem

Ryuji: *dies* Morgana: Oh no! Anyways...

After watching this, my brother and I have been comparing prices to Ryuji. “500 yen? Do you know how many Ryujis that is!?”

I just can't help but imagine a depressed "For real..." before he dies, RIP my boy

Ryuji didn't die because the Shadow killed him; he died cause his self-esteem took such a critical hit, that he refused to live any longer past that point.

Shadow Kaneshiro: *Visible disappointment*

Why am I just now finding out enemies can take characters hostage after 160 hours and a full play through done?

The worst part is that he really let Ann do her thing and still let him die

That's when Ryuji left the phantom thieves. For real. In the end they all died FOR REAL on Shido's ship because Ryuji wasn't there to save them. He then became a vigilante wandering metaverse for criminals, doing what he could albeit on a much smaller scale always looking for what he could never find: Self esteem. For real.

Well to be fair, Ryuji did still owe Ann money from that school trip in Middle School...

Ryuji:gets taken Nekomata:give me 85 yen Joker:Guess he dies

“My life has less value than a candy bar” If you get the reference thats cool

You can buy 3 gumballs with that, so really she's asking a bit much. also dang, look at those views!

“It’s not about the money. It’s about sending a message.”

Ryuji: Oh thank God it's 85 yen. Joker we got this Joker: No, kill him Shadow: Wha- Joker: Dew it Ryuji: 👁👄👁

"How about 85 yen for your friend?" "Hmmm idk Ann go in there" Ann does Ann things "Okay how about some of your stamina (sp) then?" "Well Ryuji it's been fun, but I have priorities"

*I feel like my bond with Ryuji will shatter to pieces soon*

Ah yes, this nine million, nine hundred and seventy five thousand, eight hundred twenty seven yen would be reduced into a measly nine million, nine hundred and seventy five thousand, seven hundred forty four yen *we can't do that right ryuji?*

0:12 Gotta love how the player just stood there for 8 SECONDS. I don't blame them, though. I'd be baffled as well.

What's worse is that joker tried to lower his price and when he couldn't he let him die. Surprised I didn't hear a "For real?!"

Joker: Well, Ryuji's dead. Mishima: For real!?

That’s a whole new level of fucked up, for you to just sit there as a hostage and ya homeboy tries to find other ways instead of giving up 85 yen

I love that you can tell the exact moment you hesitated to go "... what the fuck"

“Give me 85 yen and I’ll let him go.” glares at millions of yen “Sorry bro, you gotta die.”

"You owe me like, a dollar!" "You're gonna have to kill him for it."

For the record, this is 82 cents. He is worth less than a cheap pack of gum,

I love how no one gives a shit even after ryuji’s dead, morgana straight up saying “alright two foes left” after their teammate got both self deprecated and brutally murdered

Bro wasn’t giving up a single cent

Reminds me of that episode of Topgear where James was getting left behind by the train and he was begging for his mates to pull the cord that stops the train. But then Jeremy sees that its a 13 pound fine and both him and Richard are like 'nah' and just abandon him 🤣🤣🤣

You gave ruiji false hope when you got Ann in and then just flipping let the man die you legend

It’s even funnier knowing that healing him back is more expensive than that

"Give me 85 yen for your teammate back." "Ok." _Downs Nekomata_ "Let's see the money."

I wonder exactly how pissed Ryuji was when he died because Joker wouldn't give up 85 of his almost 10 million yen

Nekomata: I sell you a Ryuji for 85 yen Joker: I can't meet your demand. 40 yen!

I wouldn't be surprised if ryuji became another traitor after this one

Ryuji - 85 yen Seeing Ryuji die - priceless

I can’t believe that Nekomata’s idea of making the trade more reasonable was to instead demand STAMINA. I don’t know about anyone else, but that sh*ts super important to me. Though judging by the state of your health and stamina, you definitely weren’t hurting for stamina any more than you were hurting for yen...

I legit laughed so hard when I saw the money on the pocket compared to the ransom fee. XD

Has 10 million yen Doesn’t buy ryuji Also has 983 stamina Doesn’t help ryuji Ryuji: aight I think it’s Time I changed sides

Ryuji: *freakin dies in front of everyone a gruesome murder* Ann: “YESSSS VICTORYYYYYYYYY”

As an unhealthy Nekomata fan, she already has all my stamina

Shoutout to the hostage system, showing up once every playthrough

You don't get to 9,975,829 yen without losing a few friends along the way

Not only does she want about 60 cents for Ryuji, she’s asking for money in *Kaneshiro’s palace*.

(Forgive me) Ren/Akira/Joker: Well that’s just one loose end. Everyone: HUH!?

0:14 this pause looking at the dialogue i can imagine the player laughing behind the screen after reading ryujis worth 85 yen

Nekomata: Give us 85 yen or we'll kill your partner! Joker: **looks at his 9,975,829 yen** Joker: "nah you can have him"

Ryuji is so good at finding himself as a hostage it happens outside of the metaverse as well

Ryuji: **costs 85 yen** Jocker: **have 10 million yen** Also Jocker: "nah, I don't think I'm gonna go with that" Ruyji "You son of a" **dies**

The way they walk off in the end like nothing of worth was lost has me rolling.

You can hear the faint *"for real!?!"* echoing theoughout the battlefield

I'm afraid you are not part of my Harem playthrough Ryuji... I'll hold on to those 85 yen.

“85 yen? *phew* I thought I was in danger alright joker p- “I can’t do that” *ryuji fucking dies* “I hate.... you all.....”

I don't know why but seeing Ryuji die like that really hurt

"I can't meet your demands" Bro so rich he's probably dropping yen out of his pockets everytime he walks 😂

Nekomata: I’ll let your friend live if you give me 85 yen Joker, who has almost 10 million: 😬

Joker: I can’t meet your demands. Ryuji Knowing well that Joker has over 8 million yen: For real

YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU HAD OVER 9MIL YEN AND YOU *DIDN'T GIVE HER THE MONEY?* I respect that

"To rich for my blood, sorry ryuji"

My God that's more than.... Yusuke's Net Worth!

i don't know which worse, the fact that you are held as a hostage with 85 yen ransom, or that your best friend won't even pay that up to save you sucks to be ryuji indeed

Shadow: I’ll let your friend go if you pay me 85 yen. Joker: *Looks in wallet full of one million yen* I don’t think I can meet your demands.

(He then was found on a telephone pole the following morning)

Ryuji fans: H- he's PRICELESS that's all!

I can't believe this... Why would you do that to THE BOY?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

Actually, he's worth less than 85 yen considering Joker would rather let him die than pay.
