Joker/Akechi is what happens when you give the protagonist what's supposed to be a complicated shonen rivalry. You bring the hungry fangirls.

It should be noted that Joker's second most popular pairing is Ryuji.

The most surprising thing here to me is that Ann/Haru is the most popular yuri pairing, would have assumed it was Haru/Makoto.

That's a Crack Pairing if I've ever seen one. Ann and Haru don't even interact once iirc.

In a lot of those instances it's because someone wrote a fic with the pairing and the fandom fell in love with it.

I remember Yu/Rise/Naoto was super popular for a while due to a fic (which I can't remember the name of).

Ann/Shiho should be the top yuri pairing.

Makoto/Haru get a lot of play.

I'd think Ann/Makoto would have some more basis than Ann/Haru, but what do I know?

I ship Rise/Yukiko, and outside of the fact that there both mean—not really—drunks, there's nothing for that one.

Funny enough, when it comes to yuri pairings in Persona 5, I've mostly seen Ann x Makoto fanart. If Ann x Haru really is the most popular yuri pairing, that's definitely a surprise to me.

Imo, Ann/Makoto is weird because they never got anything more than that one scene with them apologizing. Heck, I don't think the PT hang out with each other unless Joker is there to mediate.

I'm a crackship lover and even I can't see Ann/Haru. XD

Royal does give some scenes to specific pairs without Joker, mainly for the Showtimes.

So you get:

Ryuji/Yusuke

Ryuji/Makoto

Ann/Yusuke

Ann/Morgana

Morgana/Haru

Makoto/Haru

I assume that's all that's needed.

People have been shipped together for far less.

Does Futaba get shipped with anyone besides Joker and Inari?

Please don't say Akechi or i'll have to bring up the Mario Kart jokes.

Akira/Ren and Akechi have the classic Goku and Vegeta "Rivals who secretly want to have sex with each other" type of relationship that's prone to attract yaoi fans.

Meanwhile Persona 1 and 2 have bisexual and gay character in those games, and the second P2 protagonist can have a bi option.

Eh? I don't remember any romances in EP at all with Maya.

It's kinda implied Tatsuya has a crush on her (because the game is bad and doesn't realize his only love was Lisa) but I don't remember Maya ever having the option to express interest in anyone like Tatsuya did in IS.

My memory of EP is spotty though so I guess I could be forgetting it.

Operation babe hunt mk II...

You know, it's been like two years since I've played p3p. I kinda forgot how that one went.

But Jesus fuck p5's operation babe hunt was the smoothest thing I've ever seen compared to that.

I guess I needed a wake-up call of how bad those scenes are because woah. Everything about it sucked.

edit : oh my god, the school trip is coming up immediatley after that.

This truly is the part where everyone's IQ gets a minus fifty.

Next time the idea of picking up girls with your bros comes up, just kick them in the shin and go watch a movie together or something.

P 4 G's operation babehunt was pretty extreme. But man did Yosuke get owned, like wow.

P3 had one of those "let's hit on a trans person" joke in there if I remember? And I seem to remember Kashiwagi for P 3 P?

I honestly forgot for the Fe MC side.

Let’s just say the plot of Persona 3 is remembered fondly for pretty much everything aside from the humor.
