Another (much less sad) detail is that if you turn while running as him, you’ll see that he actually leans into his turns, much like a track runner would!

[cathalflaherty]

another interesting fact about this: is that in the shadow world ryujis leg is actually healed. you can notice this during the cutscene when you beat kamoshidas Palace and he running just fine until it starts to collapse. showing one of the positive effects the shadow world has on him. which also may be the reasons he's the happiest out of all the phantom thieves and is so gun ho whenever it comes to going to mementos

[Khamiru]

Damn, I never noticed that. But it’s true. Kamoshida broke Ryuji’s leg at the femur which is even visible on his Persona Captain Kidd with the bandage on his right upper thigh.

That is an insane level of detail they didn’t have to put in but they went out of their way to do it anyway. It makes perfect sense that Ryuji walks and runs like that.

[ma.]

That’s why I like Royal. We do get some closure to his leg injury by the fact he decides to go to physical therapy.
I hope for the kids who dealt with the ppl Kamoshida is based off of, are able to recover to some extent as well. The fact that despite P5 highlighting this stuff, it STILL goes on is horrible. But I’m glad it’s brought more attention to a real life problem and that more ppl r being caught and kids are utilizing their phones and recording evidence to finally get these ppl punishment.

Another similar detail is that in his idle animation he puts pressure on one leg while putting his hand over that leg in his pocket to put more support into his good leg. Honestly small details like these make the persona games. Hell the fact you can find Haru asking permission to use the roof for her garden on the way to meeting Ryuji on the roof for the first time or often see other confidants in the background before you ever meet them in Royal is so cool. It's these little details that make it worth the upgrade.

Just when you think you couldn't hate Kamoshida anymore than you already do...

[Phoenix-dpup]

He can’t walk right but he still kicks enemies and is probably the fastest runner out of the phantom thieves

[ujuj]

Good luck to him at the rehab facility he mentioned in the ending

[kaos-qcho]

Incredible attention to a sad detail. I always assumed that ryuji had bad posture to match his delinquent character but now this makes me wonder if it's to not put too much pressure on his bad leg.

[SubparO]

I always found it weird that his idle animation in Palaces has him hold his knee but it definitely makes a lot more sense if you think about his bad leg

[brandonmarsh]

His bad leg is supposed to be a "peg leg" for his pirate theme. Atlus really put a lot of thought into Ryuji but I hate that they have punching bag characters such as Yoskue and Junpei.

[SylarGKIW]

Yup. But no matter how bad his condition is, he have the most best qualities. He's extremely loyal friend. If something happens, he'll come running. Even if his right leg have problems after the accedent, he's still going forward. He's having a loving mother, who is also not rotten, like the most of the adults. Ryuji will be willing to sacrafice himself, like in Royal, a cutscene where he protects Joker in Maruki's palace. Such sad detail only proves, that Ryuji is may not smart, and easy thinking guy. But he have most best qualities, more than anyone. And he's the only one who met the Joker, and not even blackmails, like the most of the casts. He just thought that Joker might be one of the Kamoshida's dogs, and apologised for misunderstanding. Ryuji is a true friend you can wish for.

[fredcasdensworld]

As someone who suffered a knee injury, I'm got all too familiar with having to 'gallop' like a horse when having to run. The fact that this detail of apart of Ryuji's character is really special.

[SaiyanGamer]

It's not just in Royal. If you have the gang walking, Ryuji's walking animation looks a little off. Even disregarding his delinquent stance. Though it is much more easy to notice when here, when you mute the music and listen to his shoes hit the floor.

[FarisO]

Now imagine how sad i felt when i heard this for the first time playing the game😢 poor Ryuji

[alexiskuwata]

And if he does too much it, he trips. According to the wiki (even though I know wikis can't be trusted due to editing and stuff), due to his injury, he walks and runs with a slight limp, and OCCASIONALLY TRIPS if he overexerts himself.

[PixelBrosProduction]

I think the attention to detail was nice with his idle battle pose, I thought it was hunched over tough guy act but he's stablizing his one knee as he puts his hand on it.

[arikado]

Yea, his persona is a pirate. It’s sad

[MayDay]

Those footsteps are most likely referring to his leg injury. From what I’ve heard, Kamoshida broke Ryuji’s neck of the femur (thigh/upper leg bone). So you can imagine and understand why he stands with that slouching pose and that he hasn’t ran in a while.😢🦵🏻🦴

Edit: Grammar check. :P

[returnedtomonkey]

Dude kept up through the whole game with a bad leg?! Respect
