Zenkichi is Gramps Material
Рет қаралды 123,274
3 жыл бұрынToday we’re talking about old man Zenkichi from the Persona 5 Strikers game. Essentially the chaperone of the group, he’s a hard nosed pubsec agent and is probably the oldest Persona user ever. With that here are my reasons why Zenkichi Hasegawa is Gramps Material.

Zenkichi is a really refreshing character. He's a carefree adult and his actor did a really great job with all the scenes. He's a funny as hell smug bastard but he can be serious when the scene asks for seriousness.

Zenkichi is not only an amazing character, but also an incredible and well needed addition to the Phantom Thieves. The group really did need at least an older adult to act as a figure and basically a chaperone. He fits into the group perfectly, especially during the Okinawa trip when the group buries his body under the sand. i really hope for the next P5 spinoff, Atlus will include both Sumire and Zenkichi, fully completing the group

I am a huge fan of his persona, Valjean. I read Les Mis a while back, after originally playing Strikers and I'm just now seeing the references to the character Jean Valjean. His prison number on his collar. The candlestick design on the back of his cloak. "Do you know the true face of the guilty" "Show your gaolers that you will wear a different chain" It's all a reference to his literal "change of heart" in the novel. Well fucking done atlas, you've made the ideal persona for this game!!!
