THE CONFIDANTS - Hifumi Togo Character and Confidant Discussion 

Everyone's all like ''Futaba or Makoto?'' While im over here like ''What about Hifumi? Wasn't she originally gonna be a party member? Hello? Anyone?''

Underrated waifu

She (Imo) has the second most useful social link skills.

Hifumi was originally going to be a party member but was demoted to a Confidant because the story was big already. Which could explain why her skills are so useful. it's a shame too because I would say she is more interesting than Haru but I guess since they can't have two..."cool characters" (Makoto) they just made her a Confidant. But I really liked her Confidant and would like to see more of her. very enjoyable Confidant. You already know what I'm going to say here. :^)

I'm really enjoying this series, I hope you guys finish this

Easily one of the best confidants in the game.

She's my favorite girl. Best waifu without a doubt. So beautiful and gracious, also sharp minded and very kind. It was love at first sight. Also, she was going to be a party member. Shame she didn't become one, I would rather have had her instead of Futaba. Her story is pretty interesting and her skills are among the most useful. I'd say Ohya is the worse confidant, both for skills and story. Oh, and Yusuke is gay.

*You played a long match of shogi with hifume* (~°~°~)

it kinda makes me wish for future dlc where you can recruit max ranked confidants to be party members (with no impact on the story of course). but then comes the issue of designing costumes and personas for everyone.

Well her arcana is the star so STAR PLATINUM ZA WARUDO!!!!

Hands down best girl, I’m glad to see Hifumi get some love

For me Makoto is waifu #1 and Hifumi is waifu #2

My favorite use of the ambush skill is combining the fortune's money reading which doubles money gain in battle when you end a battle with a AOA so I can get quadruple the money earned. It made money grinding much easier

Her Rank 7 which doubles your money after an ambush if you win in 1 round is AMAZING and utterly useless if you get Ryuji to Rank 7+ since his deeply stupid, poorly designed skill NEGATES Hifumi's Rank 7 (by Ryuji forever eliminating combat started with Ambush). I Rank stupid Ryuji to Rank 6 early game, then to 10+ toward the end of the game, mainly so I can rake in on Hifumi's Rank 7!.

She was supposed to be a phantom thief

hifumi is 1st and haru is 2nd in my opinion

After finding out that they took aspects of Hitumi to give to Makoto, i feel like i hate her even more. Makoto, that is

She'd fit in perfectly in the yugioh anime

I picked Hifumi in my playthrough of the game. I was really pissed off when i found out she was meant to be playable and got dropped for everyones favourite whore Makoto.

I have a question who do you think who be a good replacement for Phantom Theives female cast?

Love this girl she my waifu!

Kind of agree.

do the fortune girl next or soon plz

Best girl of Persona 5 hands down. A total dork, hammy in shogi (to the point she sounds like a Yu-Gi-Oh character), but very sweet and actually humble and down to earth otherwise.

I felt bad for Hifumi's situation. It wasn't as depressing as Futaba's, but Hifumi was relatable to my personal experience growing up. When my dad left the Navy I was given the option to stay in Japan with a foster family, but in middle school I started competing on the national level in kendo. I guess my foster father tried live out his dream vicariously through me the same way Hifumi's mom did her. My situation wasn't as bad but being known as Gaijin Renshi kind of sucked. I kind of want Hifumi to be added as a party member for future DLC, I'd love to see her cut loose with a naginata.

Hifumi is the best P5 girl. Prove me wrong. You can't.

Hifumi

This probably doesn't have any right to be posted on here, but did anyone else think that Shiho Suzui would have made an awesome confidant and possibly phantom thief? Like, her confidant could be helping her get back on her feet and comfortable at school after her suicide attempt. idk, but the scene with her and Joker meeting in the hallway and having that little talk with each other made me really like her character and it's kinda sad that the last we saw of her was in Ann's confidant. I think she would have been such an interesting character to explore.

easily the most underrate girl in the game along with Haru

Best girl, she is the star after all.

Hifumi is best girl no doubt and anyone who disagrees is gunna get banished to the shadow realm

Hifumi imo has some of the most useful confidant skills across the table. just the ability to swap teammates midfight alone is powerful in itself.

At 3:42, I think the phrase you're looking for is "living vicariously through." As for Hifumi, she's definitely an interesting character, with the rigged matches being a nice twist that turns the confidant on its head. She's definitely one of the better non-party confidants, even if she doesn't quite have what it takes to be an actual party member without being substantially rewritten (her mother's too minor and unrelated to the plot to be a Palace target, and you don't see Hifumi interacting with many people besides the protagonist.) Hifumi has an interesting relationship with her mother, particularly the conflict between her loyalty to her family and her desire to be a shogi player. It's nice that in the end, she takes responsibility for everything, and doesn't even blame her mother for the fixed matches and resulting damage to her reputation. Regarding Christmas and Valentine's day, while it's sad that the protagonist has to go back home, it's heartwarming that all the confidants are fine with a long distance relationship, especially since they'd already dealt with you spending 2 months in juvenile detention (which could potentially have lasted years if your party hadn't found the woman you saved). I actually liked Mamoru from P3. His link has a bittersweet ending in which he gives up going to college and doing track to care for his family, and it's a nice look at what it means to make sacrifices for those you care about.

Hifumi is best girl. I think her overt passion for shogi is admirable and adorable, I would learn to play shogi just so I could be a dork with her, if only that were an option in P5. I mean, more than it already technically is!

Is my #1 Waifu for sure. :D

1 2 3 best girl

I love that her dialog while playing chess sounds like a metal gear plot half of the time

All the girls give you that "I know you're hiding something" schpeel

There is a rumor about an updated version of Persona 5 in development, and the rumor says Hifumi will be implemented as a party member as she was originally meant to be.

@ 13:37 you mean The foreign exchange student Bebe aka the French student.

Hifumi is best girl and I have the scientific evidence to prove it don't fucking @ me.

I am currently going through my first playthrough and decided to move my romance allegiance to her because. 1. I appreciate a pretty girl who embraces her dorkieness. 2. If I where in the Joker’s position (I named him Arthur Jones for my playthrough) I would probably pick a girl outside my immediate friend group because in my experience romance in friend groups cause issues. 3. I decided to commit during the Hawaii part because the whole breaking away from the friend group to meet up with a girl they don’t know seemed kinda romantic to me. It’s kinda like my character has a life outside of the Phantom Thieves that they don’t know about. Lol

Best girl, and her level 10 skill carried me through the endgame

*Best* waifu, hands down. People say Makoto or Futaba, but fuck them, gimme Hifumi.

guys your video discutions are hilarious. the only critic i have is that your voice levels are really inconsistent. if you can get that fixed you could be more great.

Here I am, waiting for a Takemi discussion Great video man! Subscribed!

This is the same way I felt about Ann. I didn't think she'd be so sincere or chill. Come to think of it though, Every game where I have to pick a romantic interest it's always someone I have an initial impression of "Eh probably not." Like every S rank I have ever done in Fire Emblem and even my Skyrim wife.

Hifumi would be the canon romance !!! Fight me !!!!!!

S-tier Confidant definitely. I'm just annoyed that to get the King Piece, S-Link must be 8 or below

Notice the 3 good combat-support centric arcana are the Sun, Moon and Stars

Best girl by a long way. She's so elegant, sweet, stylish, intelligent and great humour too 💖

I would ship Hifumi with Yusuke . I didn't get to max hers out.

Hifumi is the new Chidori for me.

Maybe you should try separating the ability grade and the story grade for future confidants.

Oh God you had to remind mr of the moon social link of P3 :p. One of my fav link is the tower arcana in P3 with the Monk guy (Mutatsu i think).

She was originally going to be an actual phantom thief.

Subscribed, now I expect my Sojiro episode...

Always hyped to get a Fither notification. Really glad I accidentally clicked on your smt introduction guide video thing now.

SECOND BEST WAIFU ALERT

She's cute and awkward. I love her very much.

I was gonna go makoto. then I realized hifumi was makoto but -to me- somehow better. *also* it was a pleasant surprise to mostly pick the best responses just by being myself. that didn't happen for anyone else.

my p5 waifu :D

AND you get Uncle Lucy from her

Favorite Confident, she is the most down to earth, chill, professional Yu-gi-Oh player I've ever seen. Imagine if you saw her life if you didn't come into her life. Sad as fuck.

Imo most boring and least personality social link of all time

As someone who loves chess and has a family where everyone plays chess I immediately grew to love her.

>don’t like nozumi and Bebe The nerve of some people

That's weird... I never recalled her father being sick let alone mentioned at all... but other than that, Hifumi is awesome

BEST. GIRL.

4:54 That's so accurate!

She a shogi yugio

Very EARLY

Best girl after Futaba but best waifu tbh

i kinda Feel like she's a Secret yandere crazy gurl but that's just a theory. A FIIIITHEORYYY :v

I like the fact that her rank 10 persona is Lucifer AKA Satan...
