Least Favorite Thing About Them

She calls Sae “Sis.” I don’t think the person who wrote this has siblings because I have never heard anyone call their sister “sis.”

Favorite Line

This is one of Makoto’s dancing lines when Akechi dances: “Yeah, you kill ‘em! I mean, do your best out there!”

Eiko and Makoto! Eiko didn’t seem to believe the rumors about Makoto, at least she had her doubts. When she met Makoto, she didn’t hold on to anything she previously thought. Instead, she saw Makoto for who she is. Eiko didn’t even care when she thought the student council president was dating the delinquent transfer student. She could have spread that around the school, but instead she promised not to tell anyone and befriended Makoto. They both taught each other important life lessons, and even though they couldn’t be more different, they always have fun together.

Eiko deserves a portrait 2021.

Ren and Makoto! This is actually one of my favorite ships. It’s the first ship I had for the Persona series (okay, that’s not entirely true. I shipped Ann and Yusuke for .2 seconds, but that doesn’t count). I think Ren and Makoto’s relationship is very realistic. Like they’re similar enough to have common interests, but different enough not to get annoyed with each other. They’re also just really sweet together. I also appreciate that a lot of their fan fictions write Ren the way I see him.

None :)

Random Headcanon

When she’s in college, she asks Ryuji to give her purple highlights. She doesn’t keep them for very long, but she loves them. In Strikers her fashion sense is much more like her phantom thief outfit which makes me think she’s starting to embrace that side of her. I think purple highlights would not only look adorable on her, but it also contributes to that character growth. Plus it goes along with my “Ryuji can dye hair” headcanon.

Unpopular Opinion

I see so many posts about how Makoto has it easy compared to other characters. First of all, why are we comparing the situations these characters are in? They’re all bad situations. Secondly, just because she didn’t go through the things the others did, doesn’t mean her situation doesn’t suck. Both of her parents are dead, her sister treats her horribly, everyone at school hates her, there’s rumors about her supporting an abuser, and she knew she was being used and manipulated by Principle Kobyakawa while it was happening. She wasn’t happy with herself or her life. She was a victim of adults treating her terribly as well.

Song I Associate With Them

Tolerate It by Taylor Swift reminds me of Makoto and Sae. 

Good Girls by 5 Seconds of Summer

Favorite Picture of Them

Why does nobody talk about how beautiful she is?
