Gamers react to Ryuji calling at the perfect time | Persona 5 

Funny that all of them are bro of our protaganist

What Did Yosuke Do?

@@PlanetaryPluto Got the protagonist arrested by wielding weapons at a public supermarket.

@@M00nlightOfficial Forgot About That Lmao. Still Best Bro Though

In his defense, that’s the only stupid thing that Yosuke does that puts the investigation team in jeopardy.

keishaパイ Anne: meowth that’s right!

keishaパイ ooh im a main geisha too~ 😏

Makoto: Prepare for trouble Protagonist: What do you mean? *Ring Ring* Ryuji: AND MAKE IT DOUBLE

Phantom Thieves, blasting off again~!

To protect the world for devastation, to unite all people within our nation...

ILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE HEARS IT TOO!!! TAKE THAT MORGANA

"HEY AKIRA HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING A *PHANTOM THIEF* I SURE DO LOVE BEING A *PHANTOM THIEF*"

NinjaMaster909 what about ann

In fairness to Ryuji, I'm pretty sure everyone who has ever interacted with Ren for more than five minutes has figured out he's a Phantom Thief, so it's not like Ryuji is the only one who's bad at keeping secrets.

Not even a soul

LMFAO 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I'd disagree, BUT you DO need to remember that Ann was recorded too - not just Ryuji

plus, he later goes on to say that heroes that lurk in the dark are amazing - so chances are that he was just trying to use the Phantom Thieves to get famous, and that's why he spoke loudly about it. I should know, I was the same when I started RU-vid as "Comedy Gamerz" (Was still trying to think of a proper name at the time, based "Fiery Tiger" off my playstyle in games)

Tbh, when listen to ann's voice, you will find out that she didn't say anything directly about phantom thieves. Only those who listened to ryuji's voice earlier can put two and two together.

@@chanjerry8556 heed the later comment, where he said that he thought that someone like him could be a hero - so yeah, chances are that he was just trying to use the name to get famous.

A.K.A. #BLAMERYUJI

kagato especially

King Naoto He fucking lost it at Ryuji!

Shenpai: Y u betway me liek dis, best boi?

True

Didn't he come up with his own name?

@@frozenfoxgames5300 Yep.

ROASTED NICELY DONE!!!

He's a knucklehead at times.

Nice profile pic Also so is Ann

@@sauce4279 Ehh, ann was probably quieter it's just Makoto had the radio up loud.

@@bippythechippy882 oh ok.

@@sauce4279 Ann's voice was in the recording that Makoto took.

I can confirm. Ryuji is louder then that concert me and Yukari went to

Or again

If you've played the game in its entirety, you'd know that this was around the time that the Phantom Thieves were getting more and more popular so he was trying to get credit for it. It's even said later on that they had begun to cling onto the fame from being the Phantom Thieves and they had started to go after the bigger targets more. As well as the blackmail, they targeted Kaneshiro to become famous from beating a target that the police overlooked - they started to lose sight of what their initial goal was, and became the exact thing they hated. Ryuji acknowledged that he was an idiot, and Morgana and Yusuke admitted that it was due to the team's sudden fame obsession that they targeted Okumura and became criminals. He was a lot quieter after too

I mean who would pay attention to teenagers babbling?

@@jose13neo yeah, especially since the game itself often mentioned how it was 'cool' to say that youre a fan of the phantom thieves or a phantom thief themselves. I imagne it's kinda like how children/teens say 'I'm Ironman!' or something. When people pass through when the PTs are having a meeting, they probably don't give a fuck cause they hear multiple teenagers say the same thing

@@fierytigergaming8112 He did also point out that there WERE other reasons to go after Okumura too. It's hard to say there wasn't an influence though.

I would have to disagree, BUT this comment made me laugh - so I ain't going to, anyway - you get a free advisor out of it

But does it count as a spoiler?

Not really. This event takes place after the meeting of Akechi. During the meeting he mentions ‘delicious pancakes”, and chat just be like that. XD

The worse or best part he sound little be a continuation of the audio XD

That’s why I’m in love with Shenpai’s stream now

*M O I S T B O Y*

Ryuji: *gets megaphone ready* HELLO MY FELLOW PHANTOM THIEF, HOW ARE YOU? I SURE HOPE NOBODY IS LISTENING TO THIS!

@@jacobfreeman5444 Ryuji's voice is already at megaphone

​@@aaron75fy double megaphone

Ryuji: oh shit

I'm between 3 and 5

Why not all 5?

Yeah this works as a complete sequence of actions

Just imagine if there was an option to say "Ryuji you remember not being in jail? Ya me neither"

That’s why her stream chat is the best

same tbh

Nickareeno *M O I S T B O I*

Who wouldn't?

Ryujii I love you bro and I know people give you crap all the time but I have one question for you. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!

We're all goddamn moronsexuals

I'd punch Ryuji in the back of the head to shut him up

Everyone would be drunk off their assess and everyone's livers would explode.

Someone gonna die

You're late for that game, Kagato already started that game.

U989hu8oooo UN ndv to dorms,p

Now i have too watch all his glorious gameplay for such a pure reaction

Agreed it’s no wonder any teacher or student didn’t investigate the noise

"RYUJI! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!"

All hail the Final Boss!!

"Bury! I'll bury you with my bare hands! Death! Death!"

Fuckin akechi dude.

OmegaKnightWolf that’s just not true spoilers don’t just expire 😂

Ken

What? He's not malicious, just stupid.

He's too stupid to be the traitor

The real question is whose face you gonna facepalm, your's or Ryuji's?

In this instance, I wanted to punch Ryuji.

Kagato is a treat, and his editing makes everything all the better.

But Shenpai’s heartbreak over Ryuji’s big mouth tho

I will also agree on half of his commentary afterwards. Junpei is an idiot, Yosuke isn't. Though, let's be honest, of all the comic reliefs so far, Ryuji has the least brains. Hell, Eikichi is less flamboyant, than Ryuji is idiotic.

HOW. THE. HECK. DID. I. KNOW. IT. WOULD. BE. THAT. HOW THE F#@$ DID I KNOW?!?! you know what, don't answer that.

Lol ikr

are you basing that off his breakdown, when the Phantom Thieves become criminals?

@@fierytigergaming8112 esxcusemewhat

@@buffordbeto5911 when they were considering disbandment

Sure but that doesn’t mean no one’s got a right to get mad at him for it.

@@RedfurredPikachu true enough

I have to say Shen is wrong about this one. Ryuji is the #1 reason it was happening. His incautious behavior set everyone else up for what followed. Ann ear flicked him just moments before because he was being super loud about something he should be quiet about. His loudness is likely what drew Makoto in so she could even catch Ann. They might have noticed Makoto prowling closer if they weren't so busy with Ryuji screaming secret info at the top of his lungs.

Reminds me of ryuga from beyblade

R A I U J I

Rayuji

game: pronounces ryuji countless times full fantasy peasant: *i do not hear it*

I will never not hear that, and it makes that scream so much better, haha!

Followed by pulling a swe abriged kirito voice

FUNNY THING ABOUT THE PHRASE "" *NOT TO MENTION* ", RYUJI-...

Not to mention the editing he adds.

I love the screaming. XD

Kripperz NegaSonic same

the only ones on this list to surpass nico

Agree

XD when it happened to me i though : Makoto: So what could all this mean? Joker: oh you know we love the phanton thieve so we are role playing. Makoto: Rly? Joker: dont judge they saved my probation's ass

Here's my thought Makoto: What could all this mean? Ren: We're practicing for a play we're putting on. Makoto: ...That has to do with the Phantom Thieves? Ren: That has to do *with* Phantom Thieves. They totally stole our idea.

See my idea was that Ren/Akira could play it off as running the Phan-site.

@@jordandreemurr413 Plus, Mishima can give Ryuji and Joker moderator priviliges no questions asked, and he'd invite Ann on because he's a simp.

@@ashtraydelicacy5773 Harsh but true. Almost as savage as Futaba when she calls Mishima an npc. She never got his name right either.

Uh,, both?

The megaphone is installed in his throat

Yes

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Nice profile pic! \m/

@@TravisTouchdown4Smash Thank you. Rock on!

Take a leak everytime someone says Ryuji

Probably about 20 times or more.

Only one way to find out. Take a shot every time someone says Ryuji

Yep, pretty much why I was just hilariously disappointed in Ryuji XD

I felt bad for makoto until I started kaneshiros palace...then she fucking became the biggest mary sue and I hated her with a passion

She did a 180 there

Dear god people missues that term. Makoto is not a Mary Su!

Then there’s people who are pissed at Ryuji regardless of whether or not they choose to complain about Makoto

While everyone else including Kagato just give up on him the second Joker answers the phone

I try to be patient with Morgana more than Ryuji

@@Santeneal Saame. Morgana has an excuse. Ryuji does not.

@@RyutheWeredragon There is no excuse for Morgana sabotaging his team for his pride, that's just an asshole thing to do regardless of context. He was bullying Ryuji the entire game too, so he's not innocent

@@randomnom Morgana isn't human, so doesn't quite have human values nor properly understand it. THAT's his excuse. Furthermore, stop acting like Morgana's the only one who "bullies" Ryuji (the word you're looking for is teases). Futaba does too - and in fact, gives him even BIGGER insults than Morgana does - but you give her a pass because she's a girl. Finally, it's Ryuji who's the bully because he INSTANTLY insults Morgana on his current problems (thinking he's useless because of he's neither the tactician nor the navigator anymore), a cut that's far deeper than anything Morgana has ever said about him.

No one: Not a single soul: Ryuji:HELLO RANDOM STRANGER DID YOU KNOW IM A *PHANTOM THIEF*

My reaction was "Oops, wrong number" *Switches off phone*

My reaction at this:why did I have speaker phone on?!

@@teamfandomstuckgirl3490 I don't think Joker had speaker on. I think Ryuji is just SO LOUD that Makoto heard him, that's why she said "As loud as always" 😆

@@fierytigergaming8112 Coincidence ! 😂

That’s why their Persona content is the best

Joseph Anderson absolutely DESPISES Makoto. It’s hilarious

@@TRONgirl_EXE That's a funny way to spell "worst".

nah, could have done without another female for the beach episode

I feel ya. Makoto is a babe. I get tingly feelings when I look at Sae and realize Makoto has those genetics too.

I mostly agree with that. While everyone takes a part of the blame for this, Ryuji should take most of it. He's constantly blurting stuff out loudly that could and DID get them caught. The others screwed up in smaller ways, but really obvious if you think about it. The fact that the people that are directly involved in these bizarre events seem to magically start hanging out with each other after they're resolved and the fact that these people directly related to said events are seen gathering suspiciously in public areas constantly. I love my boy Ryuji, but he's the worst at things like this.

@@Ayoken007 I see what you mean. Also when it comes to the Morgana and Ryuji bickering, it's like most of the blame I have for those moments are for the writers themselves instead of the characters. It's like I can *see* what they are going for in their relationship, but it's really weak and it just comes across as annoying from both sides. I mainly fault the creators for an unbalanced portrayal >_>;

Why an entire paragraph though?

@@samanthamorgan9093 I don't know if you meant me or the other commentor, but it's not even that long to read dude. Also, I try my best to explain my thoughts so there wouldn't be misunderstandings in my point and last time I checked that's not a crime.

Morgana is the one that suggested using the walkway as their hideout, so that part is his fault.

TheGuyWhoCantFly this actually got me

Kagato has vocal powers beyond our understanding

In comparison to Ryuji, yeah, they did

Why are you trying to kill us?

@@kikispears4749 Natural selection.

Survival of the strongest liver.

Oh my god yes. Kagato was definitely the best reaction

Blue Angel (Ryuji call)

LET ME EXPLAIN

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! RYUJI, YOU IDIOT! I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU TO KEEP IT DOWN! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Morgana, use Fury Swipes!

Me: Yeah, need to end the conversation *Switches off phone* - It was a guild in my game

Thank you, God I hate how everyone tries to defend him.

Well it’s not so much that Ryuji is useless, rather as a victim of abuse he should know how calling someone that can hurt. Here’s the thing Morgana is critical of Ryuji at times but to areas Ryuji knows he needs to improve on like this. Whenever he starts feeling down Morgana NEVER takes a shot at him and is actually encouraging. Hell with this scene alone he has perfect ammo for Ryuji but he doesn’t souly blame Ryuji for this screw up.

@@RedfurredPikachu Except he is not say Ryuji is a Liability because he's useless, which he isn't. He saying Ryuji is a liability because unrelated to his abuse, He can't keep his mouth shut, doesn't think things through, and can't keep a secret to quite literally save his life.

I didn't. Ryuji's literally the strongest party member, never benched him through any playthrough.

To be fair, I only benched him for a little while... however long it took for 1 fight to go less than well, then it was back to normal.

@@2manybooks733 Yeah that's how it goes, lol. "I'll give Haru some playtime..."

@julie martinez Lol. It wasn't a knock on Haru. Just mentioned her because she's usually not on my team, and for the joke of not having Ryuji out of the party too long. Everyone's capable obviously. Ryuji really does perform the best though

So, how long was Ryuji benched for? I hope it wasn’t until the start of Futaba’s arc.

Magician Aligned Characters seem to have that as a Theme.

Do you guys remember that time when Yu and Yosuke were arrested coz Yosuke bringed weapons to the foof court?

@@mitchellalexander9162 Apart from Chie, Rise and Naoto - they all longed for his death (I mean, in the anime - even Yu was considering it (You forgot the faceplant at the concert)

Except even NAOTO was advocating throwing him in - in fact, she was the one who kinda' dropped the hint that the TV was large enough for them to do it.

In his defence he was calling joker on a phone so how was he supposed to know about makoto listening in on the conversation

@@storytellerrex2537 Why does he have to say "Phantom Thieves meeting" instead of just "meeting"?

@@kurokamireaper3761 well he could've but at the time (correct me if I'm wrong) he would have no reason to think about the implication of saying it over a phone call.

StoryTellerRex:25 theirs a thing called subtlety & secrecy which is something he doesn’t have. The phone wasn’t even on speaker & Makoto heard him. that also says he’s speaking very loud from where he’s calling from which means people around HIM could hear

@@BorreloadMJ ok that fair.

Just let the MonaVan run him over...

Morgana was in the wrong during Okumura though

@@drasconboy6349 No he was'nt.

IKR? That's just pretty stupid.

Me: Ryuuuuuuuuujjjiiiiiiiii Ryuji: Oh Sorry
