* After wrapping up the Madarame arc, the group (consisting of the protagonist, Ryuji, Ann, Morgana and Yusuke at that point) have a celebration at Leblanc. From the gang drinking coffee (soda in Ryuji's case, with the protagonist helping Sojiro prepare the coffee) to eating hotpot and having a good heart-to-heart about their pasts, it's just a very pleasant day overall[[note]]aside from, perhaps, the scene with Makoto and Sae in between[[/note]]. The following day starts with Yusuke moving back to the dorm, but not before leaving his mother's painting in Sojiro's care. It also shows Sojiro warming up to the protagonist. He even reveals (to Yusuke) the reason why he agreed to look after the protagonist in the first place: [[NotSoDifferent because he reminds him of his old self]].

** When Morgana ran away, despite Futaba being his main source of his insecurities, she seemed worried about him the most. She was saddened that he was no longer there and hasn't come back, was worried for his health, and told the protagonist (who is probably as worried as she is) to wait for him with her immediately after school. Futaba never had any ill will towards Morgana, nor did she want him to feel like she was replacing him.

* Despite [[NoIndoorVoice lack of volume control]] and his grumpy attitude towards Morgana (and let's be fair, Morgana spends a fair amount of time calling him idiot/ape/useless), Ryuji in general is a bit of a sweetheart.
** He immediately befriends the protagonist as a fellow outcast, apparently deciding that "salvaging what's left of my reputation" falls far below "helping someone else so that they don't end up as lonely as I was" on his list of priorities. He runs to the protagonist's rescue when people give him trouble over his "criminal record."

Despite the fact that they show NoSympathy towards his rather justified issues -- namely [[spoiler:a CareerEndingInjury and a character assassination inflicted on him by their abusive teacher]] -- and continue to maintain that [[MiseryPoker they have it so much worse than he does]], he mediates when they turn on each other, and shows serious concern when it looks like they'll fall victim to corrupt authority figures again.
** Despite Ryuji's well-founded suspicion that she's stalking them, Makoto is also forgiven within about five minutes of [[spoiler:getting the team dangerously involved with a Mafia boss]] -- Ryuji simply says that there's no point in playing the blame game, points out the positives that have come from it, and reassures Makoto that [[spoiler:her worry about "being useless" is totally unfounded]]. He also openly admires her abilities in battle.
** His affection for, and loyalty to, Ann has already been noted.
