6 More Minor Reasons Why Makoto Nijiima Stood Out From the Rest

For part one, please click here.

Disclaimer: I’m an analyzer, therefore, I analyze things to the tee. The post is not meant to be a diss post to any other characters. Instead, it’s meant to explain just as the title states; why Makoto stands out from the rest, again.

Characters in-game tend to think the Protagonist and Makoto are dating

What stood out: More than one person assumed Makoto and the MC were dating. This doesn’t occur just once, but several times throughout the game.

Take a look for yourself.

When Captured

In Sojiro’s Home

Bonus: Even Eiko, a complete stranger during this time in Makoto’s social link, thought the MC and Makoto were dating.

Makoto has hinted she may be romantically interested in the MC if the player chooses to friendzone her.

What stood out: While Makoto is a character to keep her emotions under control, there were a few times she let some thoughts slip her mind…

Considering Makoto is suppose to “fluke a test of love”, it’s interesting she would let these things slide in front of the MC -  unless there’s a reason behind it.

Note: The following events will only play out as shown below if the player chooses not to romance Makoto.

Hanging out with her at Seaside Park as friends…

Hanging out with her at Dome Town as friends…

When escaping Sae’s Palace, Makoto is the only character to hesitate with Joker’s decision to act as a decoy.

What stood out: Makoto was the only party member to visibly disagree with the MC’s choice to act as a decoy. No other character expressed hesitation to the dangerous plan but Makoto, despite it being her idea. Ryuji proves this further by telling Makoto to let the MC do what he must.

Note: This scene will play the same rather you have Makoto romanced or not.

Ryuji and Ann both warn Joker not to piss Queen (Makoto) off.

What stood out: What’s interesting about this one is the fact that two characters tell the MC something very similar regarding Makoto. In this case, a warning to not piss Makoto off. Considering they are a large group, why not warn Ryuji? Or Morgana? It had to be told to the MC specifically.

Note: These conversions will play the same regardless if the player has Makoto romanced or not.

Makoto’s views on marriage change after the player begins dating her.

What stood out: Makoto is one of few characters to show self-growth outside her social link when entering a relationship with the MC.

It’s a bit of a tongue twister there, but Makoto is one of very few characters to show her relationship with Joker has contribute to character growth outside her social link. While other characters get a ton of implied growth in their romanced social links, Makoto’s can be seen in an outside event, such as the Festival event. This is a nice representation of how relationships could possibly work out in the real world.

Note: Makoto’s perspective on marriage will change only if the player enters a relationship with her.

Before romancing her:

After entering a relationship with Makoto:

Makoto’s very first introduction trailer is the only character trailer w/ romantic undertones.

What stood out: the editing of the this trailer.

1). Can you hear the background music in the first 5 seconds of the trailer? If you thought it was encounter, you guessed right. Encounter is the beautiful piece of music that plays when Ann and the protagonist first met. The music can be described as as both sweet and romantic sounding. It’s only 5 seconds, but why add this in Makoto’s trailer?

2). The next scene we get is the beach scene. Obviously this was released when the game was not yet out, so the viewer was tricked into thinking that head nod was intended for Makoto (spoiler alert; it wasn’t)  Here is what actually happens in that cutscene. Why make a scene that is not about Makoto at all, about her in this trailer? Again, analyzing the editing.

3). Lastly, the scene where the MC saves Makoto from a falling pillar. This did actually happen in game, ending with the protagonist and Makoto stuck in a bit of a gaze right before the battle starts. This scene does actually occur in the game, and truthfully gives off a bit of a romantic vibe to it; especially when compared to the rest of trailer.

Fun fact: In the fireworks festival cutscene, the MC and Makoto also share a look. Perhaps not a gaze, but definitely a look. Can you spot it?

Minor Minor Things:

Reposting Bloom’s piece on shumako because some people believe we (shumako shippers) only ship Joker and Queen together because of the two obvious scenes during Futaba’s arc (Queen holding onto Joker/Joker saving Queen) and Bloom does a great job in not mentioning the obvious stuff but focusing on the game’s hidden hints that had us all gushing over these two awesome characters. :)

The sixth promotional key art for Persona 5 the Animation has been released, this time featuring Makoto Niijima.

The true MVP of Persona 5.

Bounty on the phantom thieves is the highest ever offered by the Japanese police? Perfect time to make some grenades in class. But seriously at least half the school including your entire homeroom definitely knows who you are on account of none of you are subtle and Ryuji keeps shouting “we’re the phantom thieves” in public.
