WORST Character in Persona 5 😤

Most of the characters in Persona 5 Royal are GREAT and WELL WRITTEN! But there are definitely some characters in P5 that are BAD and can become REALLY annoying...

Persona 5 is a game with an excellent story and an amazing cast of characters to talk to. But I have to admit, there are a few characters that have become annoying for me, especially on multiple playthroughs such as Mishima and Ohya, who I do think is the WORST character in Persona 5 Royal.

Yes...even ahead of Morgana!

Persona 5 royal has just released on new platforms with a brand new cast of characters, new bosses and personas to collect.

Worst character is obviously the old grandpa at the bathhouse that likes to bath with young guys in boiling water.

The worst character is the air lock puzzle in okumuras palace

Mishima isn’t a bad character, he’s just a teenage boy reacting in the same way most teen boys would if they were in that situation. Most P5 fans hate him because he hits too close to home [and the game is unfairly mean to him, like, seriously, he’s just trying his best :(]

[psychicmouse]

It’s weird how most Persona fans hate on Mishima even though he basically is one of the biggest Persona fanboys ever.

[don._ovan]

bro i don’t get the mishima slander at all

[HumanityLies]

I mean, in a game with literal child predators, why not hate the teenage boy who's been bullied and abused and reacted in a kind of shitty way, but still learned from his mistakes?

[Morichoradio]

People hate mishimia because he makes sense and has one of the most genuine reactions. Yall hate him for being a PT fanboy yet yall also do the same when someone does things beyond the law in order to bring forth proper justice and reform.

[leifster]

Don’t think any of the characters are really bad but I guess if I had to pick one it’d be SIU Director

[IolZ]

I actually really liked Mishima. Not only does he give you some of the best confidant abilities in the game, but the fact that you have to go and talk to him in mementos was crazy to me. Wish he had a real mementos fight, not just Joker reasoning with him.

[Windermed]

The people who hate Mishima are probably upset that he isn’t some character that follows anime tropes and the fact that he’s portrayed realistically shows that he’s better in that way.

In my opinion the people who hate him are 100% him and they’re just self projecting.

or as it stands, it’s the average persona fans own shadow that they are denying.

For those wondering why Ohya is hated is because her confidant offers the most useless bonus in the game, all it pretty much does is lower the security percentage in a palace. It offers no battle related skills and abilities like Maruki or Futaba’s confidant

[wileecoyotegenius]

Worst is Morgana, no question. Few redeeming qualities, annoying character quirks, he looks really weird in 3D cutscenes, he's mega-creepy about Ann, and he's mean and arrogant to everyone in the group, especially Ryuji who he just straight up bullies for pretty much the entire game. Also his whole "I'm actually a human" arc had no payoff at all unlike Teddie who's existential crisis at least led somewhere interesting in the end. The fact that you are constantly subjected to this character for basically the whole game no matter what you're doing is a huge deterrent to my enjoyment of Persona 5. And keep in mind, I'm saying this as someone who LOVES CATS. Morgana is a disgrace to his species.

On a side note, I don't really get why people hate Ohya so much, I don't like her but I don't hate her either, she's just really drunk all the time, a little bit attractive and I liked her story about trying to avenge her former partner. For me the worst Confidant character was the kid who plays the light gun game, he was just an annoying brat and a good representation of the kind of person everyone hates to have to play with in an online game (but to be fair I only ever reached rank 2 with him so maybe his story improves).

Kasumi literally the biggest Mary sue in the whole game

Mishima is one of P5's best characters. Flawed characters do not equal bad characters. Usually, the opposite is true.

[persontheguy]

why the fuck do people not like mishima

[jakeschweber]

The actual worst is the SIU director. He basically serves no purpose expect to exposit what the villains plans are. And then he just dies near the climax. You could remove him from the game and nothing changes

[aggressivepianonoises]

Literally sheep-level take.

Mishima and Ohya are the two most-hated characters in the game for absolutely no reason. Mishima’s confidant is genuinely interesting and compelling as it follows a bullying/abuse victim who struggles to handle the power of the Phan-site after being powerless his entire life, ultimately learning to use his own genuine strength to do justice rather than riding on the Thieves’ coattails.

Meanwhile, Ohya is a genuinely fun and interesting character who is forced to tackle head-on the unjust, political reality the thieves face every day. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that she used to desire being a “Phantom Thief” of the press alongside Kayo, but her justice was snuffed by Shido with Kayo’s disappearance. With her boss distracting her by overwhelming her with strenuous quotas and threatening to fire her, she began to give up and become cynical, stuck in a dead-end job for meager pay with barely any justice to cling to. The entrance of the Phantom Thieves into her life via the story and her confidant with you reinvigorates her buried passion and reawakens the spirit to fight back against the unjust world that threatened the welfare of her partner in crime.

These, in my opinion, are easily two of the better confidant stories in the game. And EASILY the most severely underrated. It’s honestly disappointing how many fans were turned off of it just because Mishima was “annoying” and Ohya was a drunkard who lacked “waifu material.”

Not only I think Mishima is one of the BEST characters, I wanted him to become a phantom thief.

I know his arc is about him learning to be a smaller-scale hero. Not everyone can possess superpowers. However, writing a "zero-to-hero" arc for him would've been powerful too.

I also feel like it would've given him a much better payoff. He starts as a fanboy, but realizes he isn't doing enough. He wants to better the world on a larger scale too.

Imagine this: after Mishima hears on the news that the leader of the phantom theives was stopped, he goes to check on Ren in LeBlanc. He follows Ren and the group to the metaverse in Shido's palace, gets in and follows them for a while (unnoticeably).
Than, the PTs find a shadow cognitive dude who was somehow connected to Kamoshida AND Shido. Mishima hears about the atrocities they put a blind eye to in School, is emotionally hurt, but decides to be brave like the PTs and jump in. The PTs are shocked and try to defend Mishima from the shadows. Mishima notices how weak and incapable he is compared to the PTs. He feels like a burden. He starts to feel like he's truly a nobody like how everyone keeps on telling him he is. Ren tells him: "Ignore others". Mishima agrees and says: "I won't be the 5th wheel anymore". He gets a persona too and fights with the PTs (I'd suggest a persona named Hercules because of the zero-to-hero story he went through).

IDK, I just really love Cinderella stories y'all. Give Mishima some justice.

Also ohya is the character that has the best story of the confidants and the one that actually is connected to the main plot, plus she’s the one that help the most is the vanilla ending, and who in real life won’t drink after all the shit goes through, one think is the abilities she gives and other is the character, I mean Makoto is one of the favs and she doesn’t even have a real arc or progress or a lesson like the others

[FrostyTheNightmare]

Mishima is cool with me since his confidant gives the best EXP buffs. Unlike Mona and Ohiya (Or however you spell her name) while they give some of the worst benefits to a confidant
