Is pic related the best character design ever?

Is pic related the best character design ever?

I do like Raidou, but he's essentially just anime Batman. I dunno about "best ever"

He is really sweet though

I cant argue with that.

it took me weeks to realize that he's wearing a school uniform and not some Devil Summoning uniform

I dont know if I'd say its the best but he IS rather sharp

I was unironically challenging myself to think of better design one of these days and I nothing came to mind.

>ugly version and not the original Kaneko art

I aint a fashionista, but I am sure that is Meiji Restoration/ Imperial Japan era uniform.

The Cape is the piece that makes or break this set up.

>tfw Imperial Jap qt gf.

It's hard to say this but I think I can pull off a cape like that in an outfit.

Raidou 3 never EVER

its for school though, right?

nice try OP

Punished Snake is very aesthetically pleasing, he gets my vote.

Sorry, I mixed the images while uploading. But here's your (You)

On a side note: I fucking love the ivory-statue-like aesthetic from Kaneko designs.

There's something about how long his limbs and neck are there that looks very wrong

SMT has a thing about necks

Raidou too good. Bought his figure before even finishing the first game.

Is the MegaHouse statue good quality?

well he saved his universe from YHVH, stopped the Apocalypse and is the reason the Persona Universe is so peaceful (by comparison) to all the others.

Naota sees him as her hero, hope we see "old man Raidou" in P5.

just so he can save the day and this kicks in, one last time.

you're are right

My favorite SMT protag ever. I'd love to see another Raidou game, but I shudder to think what today's artists would do to him...

The Megami Tensei 2 protagonist is one of the better ones in all that series. Cyborg arm with a COMP built into it, wood-handle sawed off shotgun and claymore for weapons, cloak with reasonable armor underneath. He looks set to weather a demon apocalypse.

>Not posting the better version

that was that posters point, the new artist fucked the original style.

there is really only one main artist for castlevania, same for SMT, though the 4A artist isn't bad.

when they deviate too far, it fucks the game.

>today's artists
Look buddy, the goons konami in their infinite wisdom chooses to hire are their business. There are plenty of great artists and whoops none of them are Japanese so that pretty much narrows it down.

Demon Summoner Ash Williams?

I just came a little.

...

>A Taisho era school uniform with a belt holster

I mean, it's a fine design.

In terms of actual design, it's gotta be Mario.

Designed piece-by-piece to work at limited resolutions in the 2D era, it's simple but has a lot of distinct elements to it, and it's got quite the vibrant color scheme.

It's timeless.

HOLY SHIT I NEVER NOTICED IT WAS A SCHOOL UNIFORM

Raidou 3 when?

Never. Kaneko is too busy in his field of flowers

This image in the correct aspect ratio, please.

...

I love him so much

THICCCER

Then in P5, why does Demiurge exist? Is it a remnant, rouge avatar or is YHVH actually not fully gone from the Persona Universe?

>Playing DaS3 dlc
>get Vinheim's chestpiece
>put on qt hat
Shit, now I know why I looked so fresh

What? No? It's just a suit right? He's not some highschool kid right?

He's a bishounen.

He's a high school kid user. It's just a cover though, he's a fulltime devil summoner who disguises as a high school kid. In the manga he only goes to school to seem normal.

user, the Raidou in OP is from a game released 3 years ago.

a fleeting avatar, just as Izanami holds far less sway than she does in most SMT worlds.

>nearly ever SMT game has you somehow, in some fashion, resurrecting a Godess, keeping the namesake, Shin Megami Tensei relevant, no matter what.

even Persona 5, had you do it, with Marie being "resurected" to be the true incarnation of Izanami in the real world, 4 you resurrected the goddess of Tokyo, and in 4 Apocalypse, in the massacre ending, you resurrect one of your companions to be a Goddess.

Persona 4 Golden* not persona 5.

tfw kaneko is missing. Has he done anything at all since devil survivor 1?

Strange Journey

Oh I had in my mind that sj came out before devil survivor.

He's with the flowers now.

Kaneko's too busy with his flowers to make new designs, but Doi did a great job with salvaging IV's guest artist demons.

HOL UP

WE WUZ KING ABBADON

the kaneko one

doi's look kind of funny

Well, there's this.

Someone explain this meme to me.

Aspect Raidou

dumb faggots were uploading emulated screenshots of Raidou 2 at 16:9 when it released so this meme was to laugh at them

One thing about Kaneko's art-style that always impressed was just how well it translated to the 3D models in the games themselves.

aspect raidou

aspect raidou

Go back to pol degenerate. Also worst series within a franchise.

Wow, so original. Kys yourself, cunts.
You can live.

You seem really bothered and immature. Maybe change the aspect ratio a little?

>kys yourself

Just in case it wasn't clear raidou is substitute for ratio

>Playing Alpha Protocol
>Suddenly this stylish motherfucker appears
These kind of uniforms are cool as fuck

Thats cool that you think so, OP. But ODST is best design.

No arguments from me.

pic related already beat him. his phantom outfit is swag from every agree, no white bra needed.

lol

who is he trying to hug

>trenchcoat
>katana
>best character design
kill yourself weeb

>trenchcoat
it's more of a poncho you dumb nigger

thematically fits in the era he belongs in
he's also got a sick revolver

what a fucking retard holy shit

f*ck u

Only ever played the first Raidou game ages ago, don't remember jack about it. tl;dr of the 2nd one? How does he tie into the Persona world?

You do know he's the writer for stuff? Unless you mean straight art otherwise he wrote for apocolypse as well.

Yeah I meant art. He also stopped doing those novel covers years ago too.

He's giving newer artists a chance
