i got a free point of guts and some morgana sass without expending time, so it was worth it!

Ren just has a piece of bread for lunch, and some of it he's probably saving for Morgana because Morgana wanted bread

please eat

like maybe ren doesn't kasumi-levels of food

but please eat some actual food

maruki may only have a convenience store bento, but it's at least more than bread?!?!

ren do you eat real food that's not curry at all

haru...

it's the sketchy akechi and the upset sae

haru had literally the worst celebration party. saw her father get a mental shutdown on live tv at the happiest place on earth

and then switched to a professional, heiress mode to make arrangements even as her father's fate was unknown

"The malicious will of another..." LIKE YOU, YALDY?!

"Th-This is assault... I'll sue!"
Worst echo ever

thanks, Futaba's no good uncle

at least sojiro is here to back ren up this time

this time ren's not alone

God, the dialogue choices sound so different. He sounds like a kid trying to defend himself rather than a cocky, dry, guy who uses humor to deflect

Sojiro's rank 8 is so good for character development

"I didn't do anything wrong."
"I was just protecting Futaba."
"I'm sorry."

He's standing with his back to those Futaba and Sojiro, staring at the door, at where Futaba's uncle was

ren...

Iwai: One time, a foreign customer came in and "axed" me a question... Eh, never mind

IWAI

he did a dad joke i'm so proud

Haru just joined, and now she has to put up with this bullshit

discovered a supernatural world, joined the phantom thieves, had her dad die, and now they're being hunted by the siu!

no breathing room. no chances to relax. no chances to sort through her grief

Sojiro: Oh... are you going through a breakup?
Ren: Eh...next month.

Makoto: What are your thoughts? Should we invite Akechi-kun?
Ren: I've actually been going on dates with him for a while, but now's he's avoiding me and I want to ask him why, so yes

Ryuji: How're we even gonna get in touch with him? It's not like we got his contact info...
Ren: Actually, I do./I've got his number.

HERE WE GO

so like 10/24 is honey i'm home day but

pompous customer IS RiGHT THERE

behind him

akechi please just shoot hi

m

sojiro will loan you the store gun

ren will give you like. 8 fake ones

just fucking shoot him he's right there

Monday: [about pompous male customer] Can we just spit in his coffee? Just all of us walk up there and spit in his coffee. Not even hide it.

Ren: Are you a Phanboy?
Goro: Hahaha. (I'm gonna fucking shoot you)

I love the way that Ohya phrases it as "Shido's confidants"

because there are a lot of unfortunate parallels between Shido and Ren

especially the Ren that accepts Yaldy's offer in one the Vanilla bad endings

And the fact that the only reason they've succeeded in their goals is because of the network of deals that they've established in the city

Oh, the takoyaki scene

what is wrong with shujin

haru...jam in takoyaki.......why.....

fucking hell, akechi stole haru's takoyaki and didn't even have the courtesy of enjoying it

Akechi, you didn't even try disguising yourself. Did you learn nothing from the cafe date?

the shaking is so good
Monday: Do it again, pancake boy

WOW, Morgana. You're just going to leave Yusuke behind?

Yusuke just keeps stepping closer menacingly. Maruki is a doormat. Yusuke is actually taller than him. Maruki is pissing himself

Yusuke...personal space

Yusuke: Now, teach me how to unshackle the human heart and glimpse into its endless abyss!

this is everything I wanted

MARUKI BACKED UP

Yusuke: Very well... You and I shall go head-to-head.
Katie: That's not how it works! Therapy isn't combative sports!
Monday: He needs therapy so badly he doesn't know what it is

Me: [makes Ren use the bathroom when his stats are maxed]
Monday: Why did you do that?
Me: Because...I think it's important that he be regular.

pooping is important

oh, that darn pleasant boy

Akechi: Because I saw another--the real culprit.
Katie: Mmmhmm, in the mirror.

Akechi asking Morgana about how they operate is probably the only true thing he says during this scene

Ah, he finally uses the deal word

although he is proposing the deal to all of them, not just ren

stop trying to flirt while you're blackmailing us

Monday: I'm sorry, everyone. The panel has to end because Akechi shit his pants. That Russian takoyaki really did a number on him
D: In unrelated news, we're going to have to shut down the takoyaki stand

D: The poor rakugo research club has to follow this...

OOOOH, SHIT. THIS IS LIKE THE WORST DAY

FORGOT THAT SOJIRO FINDS OUT ON THE SAME DAY

Ren is a dancing monster and now Morgana's gonna puke in his bag

I...don't think ever saw the post festival scene with Haru and this MC needs to stop

someone fucking knock him out with a shovel

let's have ryuji and makoto beat this mc up

showdown with sojiro...yikes

what a fucking day

also i want to save because it's 9:30 pm

Ren can finally be upfront with Sojiro.

Ren really does respect Sojiro. Ren thinks of him as family

He doesn't even say the words "I'm a phantom thief" to most of his rank 10 confidants, but he'll say it Sojiro

you guys are gonna give sojiro a heart attack

first, he discovers the calling card, then he discovers futaba had a change of heart, then he discovers that ren is connected to the pt, then he discovers that ren IS a pt, and now he's learning that wakaba was murdered

coffee dad cannot take all this at once

his heart is probably really bad from all the coffee

mercy please

oh god he knew all along about shido

and realizing that his kids are going to go after him

RYUJI SAID FUCK

D: His phone autocorrected to fucking. He tried to type "effing"

I like that by calling it "vanilla" P5 you're implying that Royal is the kinky one

MondayMorning5: MAN WAIT UNTIL THIRD SEMESTER

akechi is very nsfw
