Beneath the tough exterior, Ryuji cares deeply for the people in his life. Since that moment, his delinquency is a form of coping mechanism to deal with the fact that he was wronged by society. Ryuji is also passionate about the track, a sport that he excelled at until the game’s first villain injured him, Kamoshida. He is a very expressive individual, not afraid to show off his anger, enthusiasm or compassion. Ryuji is a “problem student”, which he is proud of it means he isn’t afraid to take a stand of rebellion.

He knows what it is like to be an outcast and treated as an outsider, so he naturally gravitates toward Joker. Ryuji is brash, obnoxious, intense, and the first person that accepts the Protagonist as a friend. The anime is an excellent way for Xander to show off what he can do, as he records entire conversations for Joker in place of player interaction.

He also has returned to the role for the sequels, spin-offs, and anime iterations. His work as Joker extends beyond being a Persona 5 voice actor. He has voiced characters in some of the most well-known franchises in these genres, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Demon Slayer, Super Smash Bros. Xander has a busy career in anime localisation and video games. While there are few lines that he has to provide, he does offer them in a fashion that has just enough personality to make each line engaging whilst not overriding the self-projection that the player has on the Protagonist. Xander Mobus is the Persona 5 voice actor for Joker. Although this doesn’t mean that Joker never talks – he has a handful of lines in the game, and he shouts the line of each of the 192 personas ( including: “Izanagi-no-Okami Picaro” – Yikes!). A calculated decision to make it easier for the player to project themselves into the character’s position. He is the spirit of rebellion.Īs is expected from a Persona protagonist, Joker barely speaks in the game. In this form, with this power, Joker becomes a beacon for others to awaken to their true powers and become free from the societal shackles that bind them. His goal in the game is to change the wicked ways of those who have become corrupt and twisted by distorted, evil desires and make them see themselves as the monsters they are. In the Metaverse, the alternate world governed by the power of hearts, he becomes Joker, the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. He has no friends and is an outcast for his criminal record his situation should crush him.

A consequence of this means that he must move to Tokyo city for school. The Persona 5 Protagonist is unfairly condemned for a crime he is not guilty of but must suffer for regardless. Bound by the chains of circumstance and society.
