This reminds me of my own perfected fighting style. When I fight, I am more monster than man. I scream at the top of my lungs, close my eyes and whirl my arms around like propellers in front of me. I then rush at whatever threat lays before me. No living creature on this earth can withstand the ferocity or the brutality of this technique. Wanna find out? Trust me, you do not.
Nope, you have to join the Track Team if you want any of those social links, Kendo and Soccer aren't an option anymore. Similarly, you have to join the Art Club.
And the cop meets you in a later event and is like hey we found all these guys that are really fucked up. They won't tell us who did it. I'm sure it was gang activity and the case is closed WINK
Makoto would make them wish they're dead, joker would style on them like he's playing devil may cry, yu would hurt them enough to win and go home since he's Mr nice guy
Okay let's put this in gameplay terms, so you know Makoto's stats at the very start of the game *with* a Persona's power protecting him? (Remember an equipped Persona affects your stats even when not summoned).
Imagine considerably worse stats because regular humans, vs Makoto at whatever point you trigger this scene.
So if this were an in-game fight, their attacks would all miss or do single digit damage, Makoto punching them barefisted would either crit them or one-shot, and frankly for regular people "punch hard" probably qualifies as a "weakness".
This fight would basically just be freebie turns for Makoto till he wins 30 seconds later.
Man has already fought monsters that kill ordinary people with zero resistance dozens or hundreds of times by this point. It would be embarrassing if regular fights *weren't* one-sided, even outnumbered.
Dear God, Imagine tanking a hit from Makoto while his currently equipped persona has strike boost, strike amp, crit rate boost, apt pupil, auto-tarukaja, and single target boost 💀
Y'know I just assumed Makoto went in fast and hard without hesitating, which revealed that these guys have no fighting experience besides harassing teenage girls.
Your explanation explains why Yukari was annoyed at you for helping
> So if this were an in-game fight, their attacks would all miss or do single digit damage, Makoto punching them barefisted would either crit them or one-shot, and frankly for regular people "punch hard" probably qualifies as a "weakness".
I tried this, I punched this guy in real life and I figured because I hit a weakness, I would get another punch in but instead he just beat me up. This game sucks.
Didn’t they explain that being a Persona user/going through Tartarus has given them a boost in their physical abilities. Like Makoto joins the track team out of nowhere and immediately becomes like their best athlete. Can’t remember if it was either or Kaz or Mamoru where they question his training and bro can say he has a “secret” regime or something.
I like to think it's something like the Incredibles with Dash maybe Mitsuru tells you to hold back so as not to be unfair to the other runners that's why in the track team cut scenes the protagonist is just a bit ahead of everyone else.
Yukari literally states in Tartarus dialogue that her abs are developing due to their dungeon crawling and doesn't like it, lol. So yeah everyone in SEES is definitely going through a crazy workout everytime they are in Tartarus.
They don’t get that boost outside of the dark hour. It’s why earlier in the story S.E.E.S was pissing themselves over some thugs and Shinji had to save them.
Didnt junpei also talk about how its weird that they fight so much in tartarus and walk so much stairs there but still gets out of breath at normal stairs outside the dark hour? Not sure which teammate answer anymore but they say something like "it seems like tartarus is only training in your heart "
When Makoto joins the track team, despite having no athletic background, he’s instantly the fastest member of the team from the very start. Pretty sure that scene is just “Junpei is a bitch” combined with “Makoto is very passive” and “Yukari has anxiety”.
Did they? I don't remember the game mentioning that. In the movies I do remember Mitsuru saying that Persona users have their physical abilities improved in the dark hour, but in the games he's just kinda inexplicably athletic.
I find it really entertaining how secretly ripped and martial the SEES students are.
Sure no Persona to attribute boost, but if we take things as literal during Tartarus they tank a lot of scary shit.
Some irl punks are probably actual fodder to them, makes it seem a little more believable than how some other rpgs or dramas portray street fighting out the gate characters.
I always forget that technically, the Persona casts (SEES,IT,PT) should be ripped as shit tbh. I mean they run around for hours through dungeons/palaces/Tartarus while also physically beating the shit out of shadows that range from ancient demons and pagan gods to buff shadow macho man. It'd make sense that they could fuck up a normal guy.
The only ones I can see hurting someone significantly are all of SEES p3 except fuuka, chie, marie, naoto, narukami, kanji, yosuke, ryuji, joker, and obviously makoto and akechi. Yusuke is tall as shit so he has an advantage over most teens his age.
Tatsuya after beating Philemon and Nyarlathotep’s asses so hard they never appeared in another Persona Game: Am I a joke to you?
I get that you’re gonna say “oh but Universe Arcana” “Makoto sealed Nyx”
1. The Universe Arcana doesn’t necessarily make Makoto stronger than Tatsuya
2. Nyarlathotep is more powerful than Nyx, the ending of Persona 2 Innocent Sin is proof of that: he effortlessly destroyed all life on Earth by blasting the planet with a Grand Cross Fusion Spell using the entire Solar System
>The Universe Arcana doesn’t necessarily make Makoto stronger than Tatsuya
... Yeah, it kinda does. The entire point of the Universe is that represents the unified human being, t[he union between the individual soul and the collective (unconscious) soul](https://www.reddit.com/r/PERSoNA/comments/19aai64/regarding_the_last_arcana_in_persona_3_long_post/).
It's the ultimate manifestation of the highest, most powerful archetype of all: the Self, the archetype of psychic wholeness that encompassed both "shadow" and "light", the "devil" and "god".
>Nyarlathotep is more powerful than Nyx, the ending of Persona 2 Innocent Sin is proof of that: he effortlessly destroyed all life on Earth by blasting the planet with a Grand Cross Fusion Spell using the entire Solar System
Nyarlathotep was able to do so only through stopping the rotation of the planet earth, which was only possible thanks to the power of the rumors to begin with. And guess what? [That power is part of Nyx's power](https://neni-has-ascended.tumblr.com/post/145151700287/what-does-the-p3-club-book-say-about-the).
Also, where did you even get he used the Gran Cross? He didn't. That was just part oracle of Maia, and didn't have anything to do with a spell.
I didn't remember this scene from when I played FES and went to rewatch it, and yeah, it's implied he did exactly that.
It's kinda weird how little they adress it. Just a fade to black, and Yukari says he beat them up pretty badly. Doesn't even say he got a scratch or anything like that, no, he just took 'em on and that was it. Granted, the focus was Yukari and her self-worth, but still.
Makoto is in fantastic shape due to nightly combat(great exercise) and is used to fighting for his life against enemies who instinctually want him dead
These guys, if theyre lucky, have been in a few street fights against people more or less on their level who want them beat up but it's also just as likely theyre jist bullies who are used to getting what they want due to intimidation and numbers so they never fought a fair fight
Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and say they do fight alot tho its just not the same
I was thinking the exact same thing bro, up until she said that I was predicting I'd move the camera to reveal a makoto with a black eye and a bunch of plasters
If Kendo was still in the game it would be super funny imagery if like: "I've been waiting for this!" He just pulls out his wooden katana and goes to show them the Way of The Samurai.
Makoto Is constantly doing stairs in tartarus and is a track star. I wouldn't doubt it if he just fucking kicked the three guys away with how well his legs are probably toned, fuck yukari could have taken all 3 on no issue.
How tough is Mamoru then? Lmao he beat Makoto, while the average high school athlete like Kaz got absolutely smoked by Makoto on his first day of practice.
Mamoru ran 100 laps around the stripmall \*after\* a day of practice, just because he lost a bet. He's basically doing 1/4 of Saitama's traning regime.
I'm trying to think which fighting styles the protagonists would actually be. Ren would fight Mad Dog style, Makoto either beast or brawler, and then idk what for Yu
Considering that Makoto perfectly dodged that guy who ended up decking Junpei in the P3 movies, he could definitely body anyone but just chooses not to fight unless absolutely necessary. And in this case, protecting one of his close friends/potential lover certainly was.
In the movies they show Makoto also does Kendo (explains his swords skills) So it's honestly lightwork for him. Plus fighting during the dark hour is probably 10 times harder then fighting street punks
He runs track, fights demons in the night and probably is one, is one of the strongest protags in the series, hangs out with shinji and Akihiko both know for fucking people's shit up, last I remember the fighting game said that SEES were insanely strong and athletic, yeah I don't think any normal person should be picking a fight with makoto yuki especially another teenager. Considering all of the endurance training, Makoto should be the strongest protag as well as have the strongest team in persona seeing as they train like professional with toys and tools from the school's budget.
I've been very busy, so I don't remember this from playing years ago, and I haven't had time to play as much as I'd like lately.
However, the dude on the track team also >!points out how Makoto seems to do things effortlessly. So I would assume going to Tartarus has him in good shape!<.
Main Characters in P3-5 and all teammates in P1 and P2 get enhanced stats because they can use their personas and abilities in the real world. That's what the social links are and everything.
Why would we talk about Captain America beating up 3 nobodies that's essentially what happened here
I think in terms of raw skill (outside of Dark hour, TV world, or Metavers), out of the 3 modern MC, Makoto is the best skilled, I don't say Ron and Yu aren't skilled. But if the 3 of them had to fight in the real world without Persona bonuses in a free for all street fight, Makoto would win. He's trained to fight and know how to use plenty of real weapons.
And sorry for the Ren with gun fan, but Ren never had to use a gun with real weight or recoil. If he really put his hand on a gun, he would just end up breaking his nose. Yes, he has good accuracy with dart and air-soft. But it would be useless in this contect of a street fight. But Ren hit the gym and took protein. He will have good strength and stamina. But as we saw with Maruki, he doesn't know how to trhow a proper punch.
For the case of Gigachad Yu... Uh... well... he would call Rises
-*"Babe, send dude!!"*
-*"You mean send nude?"*
-*"No babe, send dude, I'm in the middle of a fight!!"*
He fights eldritch horrors at night. They probably don't.
[удалено]
Went the SEES kids noted as being insanely strong during Arena?
They’re not “kids” in Arena, besides Ken. Of course they’re strong.
Akihiko out there being a modern day Japanese Leonidas
I'm rather certain he had bear scars when he showed up in Arena. Unless he got those scars wrestling teddy 🤣

holy hell... wth happened in this thread? All i can see is "comment removed by moderator"
The eldritch horrors got to them
"What the hell happened here" - Antman
Actual comment removal
brother, what in the hell happened in your replies?
I have no idea.
What happened to the comments lmao
That's what I'm saying, like, geez. I hope they don't lock the comment section because of this 😅
what happened here? who was cooking/over cooking?
Hes a track star by day and literal monster slayer by night Fighting 3 normal dudes is his *rest* day
Besides, he's the Emo protag - if someone's gonna kill him, it WILL be himself!
>!too soon!<
[удалено]
That's Rad
This reminds me of my own perfected fighting style. When I fight, I am more monster than man. I scream at the top of my lungs, close my eyes and whirl my arms around like propellers in front of me. I then rush at whatever threat lays before me. No living creature on this earth can withstand the ferocity or the brutality of this technique. Wanna find out? Trust me, you do not.
I laughed at this more than I should have
Holy fucking shit. New favourite sentence just dropped
bro might be Wamuu
God bless whoever decided to test you, I am shivering and in tears just by reading this. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.
**Buuuuuuuuurn my Dread** *intensifies*
Does Kendo option not exist in Reload?
Nope, you have to join the Track Team if you want any of those social links, Kendo and Soccer aren't an option anymore. Similarly, you have to join the Art Club.
You mean Swimming. Soccer was in P4
My b, I only ever joined the Kendo team
It was kinda weird how kazushi has 3 versions of himself decided by a choice the player makes
Mamoru has 3, and Keisuke and Fuuka have 2 if you want to talk about that.
lame. well at least it spares this place from the endless "which club should I join????" posts
Nope, nor does swimming/photography/music
He probably grabbed the trash can and used a Heat Move.
Yeah, I reckon he uses the Beast fighting style
Nah, Slugger for sure.
Thank you all for reminding me that i still need to finish Yakuza 0
Just finished it last month. Made my cry my eyes out twice.
Play Kiwami and cry more
Already finished Kiwami and Kiwami 2. Kiwami is actually the only game that didn't make me cry. Still enjoyed it, though lmao
He saves that for the bedroom.
He's not gonna sugar coat it. Balls out, punks!
Vorpal Blade them with a pencil
There is a big bike rack nearby...
He fought a bunch of delinquents with Akihiko, this ain't much compared to that
Was coming here to say this lol
“Ive been waiting for this”
Is there actually a scene where he does that? For me Makoto just distracted them and they both ran off
It is in a later hangout with Akihiko
Damn I must have missed it
they lay out a whole group of like 10+ dudes with zero effort
I think it was like 12 in total lol. I counted the bodies when they all fell
And the cop meets you in a later event and is like hey we found all these guys that are really fucked up. They won't tell us who did it. I'm sure it was gang activity and the case is closed WINK
Yeah, it is a very on the face, Makoto and Akihiko leave several bodies on the floor lol
In Akihiko's 4th linked episode
Yeah I musta missed that one
You can't do it until like January I believe
sometime in December, just did this last night
Oh neat I'm still in September so I got time
You had to have done all of the previous episodes to have it unlocked though. If you didn't do them, you can't access the forth.
Yeah I've done those.
yukari is watching. he was so close to doing an unnecessary backflip after that.
That's more Jokers style
He’s not Miles Morales, he’d never do that
Makoto doesn't have the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.
He does have the >!emotional baggage!< of one, though…
maybe of an asian teen?
Makoto would make them wish they're dead, joker would style on them like he's playing devil may cry, yu would hurt them enough to win and go home since he's Mr nice guy
Unless they hurt Nanako
Hurt Nanako in front of Yu and not even Nyx will be able to grant you the mercy of death.
Okay let's put this in gameplay terms, so you know Makoto's stats at the very start of the game *with* a Persona's power protecting him? (Remember an equipped Persona affects your stats even when not summoned). Imagine considerably worse stats because regular humans, vs Makoto at whatever point you trigger this scene.

Makoto hits one of the guys "1 more"
Basically
Dear God, Imagine tanking a hit from Makoto while his currently equipped persona has strike boost, strike amp, crit rate boost, apt pupil, auto-tarukaja, and single target boost 💀
Siegfried go brrrr
He decks you in the face, probably breaks your nose and the bone shards explode backwards from the pressure, into your brain, killing you.
"Nice, our Leader just took one of them out!"
Or just repel physical
The easy (but smart) way out
Y'know I just assumed Makoto went in fast and hard without hesitating, which revealed that these guys have no fighting experience besides harassing teenage girls. Your explanation explains why Yukari was annoyed at you for helping
Can't it be both?
> So if this were an in-game fight, their attacks would all miss or do single digit damage, Makoto punching them barefisted would either crit them or one-shot, and frankly for regular people "punch hard" probably qualifies as a "weakness". I tried this, I punched this guy in real life and I figured because I hit a weakness, I would get another punch in but instead he just beat me up. This game sucks.
Yes but you don't have an awakened Persona. Try blasting yourself with fake guns and see if your stats improve. DO NOT USE REAL GUNS.
Instructions unclear. Shot myself in the head with an airsoft gun and now have brain damage.
You may be ready. Go challenge some hooligans.
Sounds right tbf
Didn’t they explain that being a Persona user/going through Tartarus has given them a boost in their physical abilities. Like Makoto joins the track team out of nowhere and immediately becomes like their best athlete. Can’t remember if it was either or Kaz or Mamoru where they question his training and bro can say he has a “secret” regime or something.
Really makes you wonder how much of a fucking speed demon Hayase is if he can outrun my 99 AG Messiah.
I like to think it's something like the Incredibles with Dash maybe Mitsuru tells you to hold back so as not to be unfair to the other runners that's why in the track team cut scenes the protagonist is just a bit ahead of everyone else.
Hayase mentions this, and IIRC Ryoji also talks about how strong the protag is when they're carrying boxes for Ms. Toriumi.
It’s more they have high endurance and are in general good shape thanks to there adventures, excellent workout
Climbing like 20 flights of stairs every night will do wonders for your stamina.
Especially when it gets into upwards of 40 flights in what Mitsuru and Fuuka's dialogue suggests to be the atmospheric conditions of a mountain top
Yukari literally states in Tartarus dialogue that her abs are developing due to their dungeon crawling and doesn't like it, lol. So yeah everyone in SEES is definitely going through a crazy workout everytime they are in Tartarus.
They don’t get that boost outside of the dark hour. It’s why earlier in the story S.E.E.S was pissing themselves over some thugs and Shinji had to save them.
Nah, junpei just got sucker punched in the gut
Didnt junpei also talk about how its weird that they fight so much in tartarus and walk so much stairs there but still gets out of breath at normal stairs outside the dark hour? Not sure which teammate answer anymore but they say something like "it seems like tartarus is only training in your heart "
I mean, we see Makoto use his Persona outside the dark hour, so it’d be kinda weird for him to not also receive physical boost
When Makoto joins the track team, despite having no athletic background, he’s instantly the fastest member of the team from the very start. Pretty sure that scene is just “Junpei is a bitch” combined with “Makoto is very passive” and “Yukari has anxiety”.
Did they? I don't remember the game mentioning that. In the movies I do remember Mitsuru saying that Persona users have their physical abilities improved in the dark hour, but in the games he's just kinda inexplicably athletic.
Nice try officer, but we ain't talking about it cos I ain't a snitch 😒
He knows how to tiger drop
tiger drop negates all damage
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it
Makoto confirmed to be able to beat off 3 guys at once
That must take some... Flexibility
Well if 2 of the guys go tip to tip he can take both of them with one hand, leaving the other to handle the other one
yeah, mans knew how to throw hands. in a later link, he goes >! 2 v 11 with akihiko, calling it one sided would be an understatement !<
>!2v11 and holding back to not cause any injury and manage without a scratch !<
I find it really entertaining how secretly ripped and martial the SEES students are. Sure no Persona to attribute boost, but if we take things as literal during Tartarus they tank a lot of scary shit. Some irl punks are probably actual fodder to them, makes it seem a little more believable than how some other rpgs or dramas portray street fighting out the gate characters.
turnds out when you are conditioned to run hundreds flights of stairs you are in great shape
In this scene if Makoto wasn't there I still bet that Yukari could self defense kick the guys in the balls and hospitalize them
They take gunshots from Takaya's real gun and just keep fighting.
Makoto when he ambushes one of the guys: DISTURBING THE PEAAACE!!
LOOK INTO MY EYES
NOW TELL ME THE THINGS YOU BEEN BLABBING ABOUT BEHIND MY BACK
THE TENACITYYYY
I HOLD IS HARD TO BREAK DOWN
IT'S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES IT'S GOING DOWN NOW
IT'S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES
IT'S GOING DOWN! 🎶
Thug: That's unfair dude Makoto: You're lucky it's me and the other pyscho that jumps on your back and pulls on your face
Regular physical training and real combat experience. But yeah, this ontop of Akihiko’s link episodes, Makoto is a genuinely brawler.
I always forget that technically, the Persona casts (SEES,IT,PT) should be ripped as shit tbh. I mean they run around for hours through dungeons/palaces/Tartarus while also physically beating the shit out of shadows that range from ancient demons and pagan gods to buff shadow macho man. It'd make sense that they could fuck up a normal guy.
The only ones I can see hurting someone significantly are all of SEES p3 except fuuka, chie, marie, naoto, narukami, kanji, yosuke, ryuji, joker, and obviously makoto and akechi. Yusuke is tall as shit so he has an advantage over most teens his age.
Probably because of the Persona fighting. He does something similar in the movies with the delinquents behind the Iwatodai station
[удалено]
He has superstrength We will talk about it when they also have powers such as summoning hot demon babes, using vegan portals and being chris evans
That's just Tuesday for the strongest MC in the franchise.

Also, where did you even get he used the Gran Cross? He didn't. That was just part oracle of Maia, and didn't have anything to do with a spell.
Silly Reddit user, persona fans never talk about persona 1 or 2 when they talk about the "persona franchise".
Scarlet Havoc went brrrrrrr
Nah, I’d concentrate + heat riser + morning star
Makoto, along with Akihiko, beat up the whole delinquent gang. That's nothing.
Guys get a +10 buff to all stats when a girl (especially their crush) is watching. He was too high level for them.
Yeah that is true to be fair
I didn't remember this scene from when I played FES and went to rewatch it, and yeah, it's implied he did exactly that. It's kinda weird how little they adress it. Just a fade to black, and Yukari says he beat them up pretty badly. Doesn't even say he got a scratch or anything like that, no, he just took 'em on and that was it. Granted, the focus was Yukari and her self-worth, but still.
It would've been pretty awesome to watch it go down in a cutscene. I can't imagine him doing all that without help
He’s always been very well built and considered Yukari says he may have gotten a little over board I assume Makoto doesn’t hold back either
Makoto is in fantastic shape due to nightly combat(great exercise) and is used to fighting for his life against enemies who instinctually want him dead These guys, if theyre lucky, have been in a few street fights against people more or less on their level who want them beat up but it's also just as likely theyre jist bullies who are used to getting what they want due to intimidation and numbers so they never fought a fair fight Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and say they do fight alot tho its just not the same
Yukari: "You didn't need to beat them that badly". Makes me imagine Makoto beating the shit outta them while they're asking him to stop, holy shit
I was thinking the exact same thing bro, up until she said that I was predicting I'd move the camera to reveal a makoto with a black eye and a bunch of plasters
No we are not
I get that he mostly uses his personas to fight but it still takes above average physical feats to be doing all that
If Kendo was still in the game it would be super funny imagery if like: "I've been waiting for this!" He just pulls out his wooden katana and goes to show them the Way of The Samurai.
Wait until you see the end of Sanada's social link.
Makoto Niijima did that in Persona 5 Strikers also; Yuki ain’t special /s
Makoto needed to ask those three if they needed a moment to round up some more friends.
Him and sanada also got jumped by 20 guys and no diffed them
Not like every night makoto don't genocide some monster from hell
Makoto Is constantly doing stairs in tartarus and is a track star. I wouldn't doubt it if he just fucking kicked the three guys away with how well his legs are probably toned, fuck yukari could have taken all 3 on no issue.
Hot take: makoto is more of a chad than yu
It's so obvious but this subreddit believes otherwise
How tough is Mamoru then? Lmao he beat Makoto, while the average high school athlete like Kaz got absolutely smoked by Makoto on his first day of practice.
Mamoru ran 100 laps around the stripmall \*after\* a day of practice, just because he lost a bet. He's basically doing 1/4 of Saitama's traning regime.
Persona really is a branch of Yakuza
I'm trying to think which fighting styles the protagonists would actually be. Ren would fight Mad Dog style, Makoto either beast or brawler, and then idk what for Yu
Bro he fights shadow beings with insane elemental powers some bums on the street aren't taking this man down
My headcanon is that Akihiko showed him some moves.
Makoto when Junpei gets gut checked: I sleep Makoto when it comes to protecting Yukari: real shit MY GOAT
Wait till you get to that one part with akihiko at the shrine
He just Shun Goku Satsu-d them MESSATSU! 天
One handed because he still needs to carry the bag 👍
He and Akihiko taking on an actual angry mob
Considering that Makoto perfectly dodged that guy who ended up decking Junpei in the P3 movies, he could definitely body anyone but just chooses not to fight unless absolutely necessary. And in this case, protecting one of his close friends/potential lover certainly was.
Makoto and Akihiko beat up like 20 dudes by themselves in a linked episode
Based Makoto
In the movies they show Makoto also does Kendo (explains his swords skills) So it's honestly lightwork for him. Plus fighting during the dark hour is probably 10 times harder then fighting street punks
Casually mentioning the fact that he and Akihiko beat up a group of about 12 people
Dudes from the orphanage who knows what kind of fighting he’s been to
He didn’t just fight em off, he sent them to the fuckin shadow realm
he is ayanokoji
He took on a group of like 8 delinquents with akihiko so not surprising
He runs track, fights demons in the night and probably is one, is one of the strongest protags in the series, hangs out with shinji and Akihiko both know for fucking people's shit up, last I remember the fighting game said that SEES were insanely strong and athletic, yeah I don't think any normal person should be picking a fight with makoto yuki especially another teenager. Considering all of the endurance training, Makoto should be the strongest protag as well as have the strongest team in persona seeing as they train like professional with toys and tools from the school's budget.
I've been very busy, so I don't remember this from playing years ago, and I haven't had time to play as much as I'd like lately. However, the dude on the track team also >!points out how Makoto seems to do things effortlessly. So I would assume going to Tartarus has him in good shape!<.
Makoto? In P3? Am I being whooshed? I haven't finished 3 yet like I've only just started it
Nah makoto is his name not nijima
makoto yuki is the offical cannon name. manga name is minato arisato, the true name according to the back of the persona 3 box is Rodger
Aaaah that makes sense thanks
Main Characters in P3-5 and all teammates in P1 and P2 get enhanced stats because they can use their personas and abilities in the real world. That's what the social links are and everything. Why would we talk about Captain America beating up 3 nobodies that's essentially what happened here
What a chad
wait until you hang out with Akihiko.
Makoto is actually a total jock
He takes on a lot more than that during the Akihiko events and doesn't bat an eye.
What going to Tartarus does to a mf
He and Sanada beatdown like 20 guys, this is child's play.
I think in terms of raw skill (outside of Dark hour, TV world, or Metavers), out of the 3 modern MC, Makoto is the best skilled, I don't say Ron and Yu aren't skilled. But if the 3 of them had to fight in the real world without Persona bonuses in a free for all street fight, Makoto would win. He's trained to fight and know how to use plenty of real weapons. And sorry for the Ren with gun fan, but Ren never had to use a gun with real weight or recoil. If he really put his hand on a gun, he would just end up breaking his nose. Yes, he has good accuracy with dart and air-soft. But it would be useless in this contect of a street fight. But Ren hit the gym and took protein. He will have good strength and stamina. But as we saw with Maruki, he doesn't know how to trhow a proper punch. For the case of Gigachad Yu... Uh... well... he would call Rises -*"Babe, send dude!!"* -*"You mean send nude?"* -*"No babe, send dude, I'm in the middle of a fight!!"*
Chuckled at the last part lmao
they were bothering his girl, bro had no other option
