>>6445150He's something of a show off, seen in the prologue cutscene when he takes the heat off his team members and flips through the casino window into the street. In the role of the Joker he shows a great deal of style and confidence, evident in his poses in the menus and all-out attack.
In everyday life he comes off as kinda boring, maybe to avert attention from himself as there's a false rumor going around that he's a violent delinquient. Due to this other students avoid him and are quite suprised if he answers a question in class correctly.
I personally find him cooler and less goofy than Narukami, who in my eyes is dragged down by his best friend yosuke the pussy deflector. Ryuji may be dumber than a brick, but at least he's cool, which makes the protagonist good.
