* AdaptationalJerkass: While Ryuji gets along with Akira as he does in canon, he buys into the rumors about Ann whoring herself to Kamoshida and is openly hostile to Makoto to the point of requesting a change of heart on the Phan-site.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Ryuji asks Makoto in Chapter 19 if she would have cared about Akira if she didn't know he wanted to study. Makoto finds herself unable to respond because she realizes there is a chance she might not have even paid attention to Akira if she didn't notice him in the library.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kamoshida did a number on him in the past.
* DemotedToExtra: In canon, he is the first student to join Akira in forming the Phantom Thieves. At this point, he is still a normal high school student.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Ryuji comes across as this by believing the rumors regarding Ann and Makoto while he himself was subjected to the rumor mill that ruined his life.
* HypocriteHasAPoint: To be fair, there were good reasons for Ryuji to believe those rumors were true due to Ann being a little too close to Kamoshida. Due to how Makoto treated him before, it was not difficult for one to believe that she could have been complicit in covering Kamoshida's crimes.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:He requested Makoto's name to be targeted for a change of heart due to his concern regarding Makoto spending time with Akira. While he is jealous of the time they spend, he also is suspicious of Makoto's motives.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: His dislike for Makoto is highly justified given how she didn't try listening to his side of the story in the library incident.
* OutOfFocus: Due to him not being a member of the Phantom Thieves during the first story arc.
