He’d be a villain/rival character in nearly any other anime setup, an ice-cold, silver-haired hawk, perfect foil to the hot-blooded protagonist. His manga adaptation is often nicknamed “ banchou” (gang leader). He’s tall (second tallest character in the game), lean, and totally rocks Yasogami High’s traditional Gakuran-style uniform. Persona 4‘s head heartbreaker seems purpose-built for the task. How deadly? In Persona 3 he managed to date no less than SIX women, almost simultaneously! MMO friends, faculty, classmates, seniors, freshmen, paranormal elevator attendants, and androids who aren’t even anatomically correct, nothing even vaguely female-shaped ( just like himself, durr hurr) was safe. With that in mind, Persona 3’s hero is just like a fart - silent, but deadly. His manga adaptation portrays him as somewhat lackadaisical and sleepy, which is probably refreshing for Persona 3‘s serious, tightly wound female cast.Īpparently, having a backbreaking slouch and being a frickin’ mute equate to an aura of mystery, which is the source of his power. That passive look is only amplified by his expensive Audio-Technica earphones (they’re real). He’s short (second-shortest male in the game), with noodle-thin limbs straight from the CLAMP school of character design, and has that whole hair-covers-one-eye thing going. Persona 3‘s lead ladykiller is easy to underestimate. Note: I’ve tried to keep this as spoiler-free as humanly possible, and it’s nothing you don’t already know if you’ve ever read a cast roll. Glower then in disgust and envy, my fellow RONERY PEOPLE, as we profile these paragons of smooth operation, infinite potential and male accomplishment, the douchebag princes of Pimp-sona. Deserving of particular recognition are the protagonists of Persona 3 and Persona 4. They stand tall above the pitifully mild-mannered milquetoasts and amnesiac angst-factories of lesser RPGs, harem anime, and eroge. No others have been able to capture so many of the most well-developed (and well- developed) female characters in the JRPG space. The men - more specifically the main men - of Persona are not just wildcards, but pimps of the highest order. You know, I like’s me some deep-thoughts ’bout my Persona, but there are times in life when it’s okay to be about as deep as a kiddie pool.
