To also go off of the point about cop!akihiko being annoying to me I gotta say that Akihiko as a character is very hit or miss with me because of how different adaptations of p3 will subtly alter his character. I felt like in portable with the femc route he comes off best, he’s a bit of a hothead with an obsession with fighting, but he’s overcompensating his strength so he doesn’t feel as weak and helpless as he’s been in many situations. He defines strength in a very literal sense, being physically strong and using that to protect others, but he’s lacking in emotional strength as a result. And in particular in this version I think he’s portrayed as a bit more goofy and sweet in a sense. He cares deeply for you as a friend and leader but he struggles with finding the words to describe how he feels. Hes kinda naive and gullible and has trouble noticing his surroundings. He has no clue what he’s doing but his heart is in the right place. I think he just comes off much more human and he has flaws, many many flaws, and that makes him all the more lovable
But then in other adaptations and spinoffs it’s like. They look at him through some hetero male bullshit filter and seem to view him as a lot more admirable and cool. Like in p3 dancing, theres literally an event where he’s talking with Junpei and Minato and they’re gushing about how perfect Akihiko is and how he doesn’t seem to have ANY flaws at all. And it becomes clear his inability to flirt with women just gets added as a way to make sure you, the Straight Male Player, don’t get insecure being next to such Perfection because at the end of the day, you’re still more charming and sexy than he will ever be because you’re better. It’s a “flaw” that’s only there to shield a sensitive male ego. And then in arena I mean, come on. He’s overly beefy and is a damn cop and travels the world and loves Protein™️ it’s his whole personality and he’s so clearly meant to be seen as hot but like, he’s just some shitty hetero male fantasy. Hes what the writers deem to be a Perfect Man that every guy wishes he could be, but don’t worry he’s still bad with women so you don’t gotta worry about him stealing your property- I mean, girlfriend!
And though I’ve not played reload and don’t really plan to anytime soon, judging from his social episodes they seem to have a similar problem. Akihiko comes off as a lot less approachable, like the year age gap is just too much of a barrier to get to know him properly. And he doesn’t have that dorky sweetness he has in portable, he’s just that perfect hetero male fantasy guy and don’t you fucking worry- he still has his protein powder with him

So on my xie lian is movable agenda Feng xin had a whole presentation about how vital being able to move xie lian is for when mu qing first joined their group. Mu Qing thought he was fucking with him to get him in trouble until the first time he saw Feng xin throw xie lian over his shoulder to get him away from a riot

OK BUT Dylan has insane constitution. Not only does it canonically take him like a full two hours longer to turn than anyone else but he doesn't black out or lose consciousness once when he loses his hand.
"oh it was the shock" That doesn't explain why it takes him so long to get infected. Ya know what does? His endurance being off the fucking charts. He's got so much willpower and physical resilience the infection literally couldn't take over any faster than the slow-ass speed it did.
If he were a fighting-videogame character he'd be one of the tanks with 600 more HP than any other character. He's a full on defensive tank which makes sense since he's jumping in front of people like a meat shield.
If he was a D&D character he'd have +5 Constitution and goddamn natural poison resistance.
I just know it takes him like eight shots of vodka to even feel a buzz, and if he stopped there, he wouldn't even be hungover in the morning. This man is HARDY.
He can canonically, get his hand sawn or blown off, and then stands up after it. He may not have much offensive output but this man could take a beating, he would not go down fast.
And all of this is made 1000x funnier since he moves his body like an elongated Muppet. He WILL hide behind you even though an injury would hurt him way less than it would hurt you. Goofy-ass wiggly bitch could drink you under the table and he has the audacity to say shit like "I'm squishy".
Maybe on the outside but not on the inside. 🤌🤌🤌

people need to stop acting like shin godzilla is the strongest just because he has the POTENTIAL to adapt to an enemy, not when bro is literally NOT built for fighting
