Not even remotely accurate

You have freaking Jun Kurosu and Tatsuya Suou in the same damn series.

Even though Tatsuya and Maya is canon.

I thought the creator said Tatsuya and Jun was the canon one? >_>

Not that I know of.

EP is pretty implicit about it, I think.

P3 even has a social link that brings up their romantic plot in a goofy way.

He's not straight up gay. He's more confused >_> He wanted to bang Naoto when he thought she was a boy. But after he finds out, he still wants to bang her.

That's gay.

No, but for real, he's probably bi, or even omnisexual. He'll bang anything.

The original scenario writer confirmed Tatsuya x Jun to be the canon pairing. But since you can pick whoever you want, it really doesn't make all that much difference. I think Innocent Sin leans a lot more towards Jun and Eternal Punishment obviously pushes Maya.

I like IS way more than EP, so Jun is always my canon love interest. :v Nothing again Maya though, but I see their relationship as way more of a big sister/little brother thing than anything romantic.

No love for Lisa?

Is it because she's a literal slut and used drugs? >_>
---

i never got the impression that EP pushed maya.
i mean tatsuya was obviously more distressed when jun was in danger than any of his other friends.
so i think him and jun being sausage buddies makes the most sense

Kanji is bi (with male preference more likely)
This aside, i don't even think he or any ofP4 cast are the coolest lol

I dunno if he is or not but he is pretty cool I agree and always goes in my party because of that, I remember he woudl max STR in the PS2 game super fast but in Golden he gets super tanky but does not hit as hard.

Doesn't he get Charge in Golden?

He probably does, but he still hits way less hard than PS2 Kanji until both hit the STR cap which PS2 one does like20 levels earlier lol :P

she was probably the most generic character in both innocent sin and eternal punishment
so she doesnt stand out at all

i didnt dislike her but she isnt very memorable either

She's spunky. Plus white girl titties yo

Honestly, I think that he had the hots for Naoto. Despite her disguise, she was still very much a woman and there's probably a lot of subconscious stuff going on attraction-wise. Body language, skin, voice, etc.

It's sort of how like that general wanted to bang Mulan.

So while he's attracted to a woman but thinks he's attracted to a man he gets confused.

Not that it matters either way, but that's how I see it.

Also...

You sayin I like dudes?

He's asks to touch your muscles in P4G though, and blushes when he sees you in drag. ... and his social link is the only guy one where you spend time alone together in your room at the end. :v Think he has to be bi. He's way too into Yu for him to be straight and just confused.

Basically, this sums up his character:

All male anime characters are at least bisexual. It goes hand in hand with the rampant androgyny.

This is canon

You don't spend "A long time together" with Kanji. He does come up to your room at rank 10, but I think the devs did that as a joke to make players think they're gonna bang at first since the setup is just like with a chick for the first few lines lol. I forgot how it ends but it's definitely not with sex >_>

But yeah, he does comment about Yu's body if you wear certain costumes, but he also does the same with Naoto, so idk.

In the PS2 release at least (never got to play Golden), the last bits of his social link state "You spent longer than you had planned with Kanji..." (paraphrased) as the camera cuts to black and Kanji shouts with joy. There's at least some implication there.

Again, though, there's always:

That. Given that it's canon, I really don't think there's any way Kanji is straight.

Oh, it was a bit more ambiguous in P4 vanilla. The screen just fades to black and Kanji shouts. :v But still... aren't they adorable together? I ship it.

And Yu in my headcanon bangs all 9 chicks in one playthrough. Pimp Yu is canon Yu.

it ends with kanji saying "that other me is me"
its a pretty blatant coming out of the closet scene with his closest friend among the group

I didn't say he didn't come out. i'm just saying the balls didn't touch afterwards

The shadow is the true self. There's no denying that their shadows represent a part of them they dont want people to see

I'm under the impression it's more of an exaggeration due to their fear of their true self. Like look at how Rise's shadow is a turboslut or Chie's is a dominatrix that uses people. They're obviously not like that but they're afraid of being perceived as that. Same with Kanji. It doesn't confirm or deny he's gay, it's his fear that the shadow takes the form of. That's why it's such a huge exaggeration of his possibly gay self.

In the end, I think he's either confused or bi, but he accepts that he might be confused or bi and is okay with that >_>

Yea, at the end of the day, I think they left it ambiguous on purpose.

Fun Fact: Yosuke might've had a romance option with Yu during development, but they cut it out. There's left over voice over for it (in English too somehow >_>) in the game files though.

that max social link scene did seem to have some sexual tension. :v this explains it. I wonder why they chickened out.

Gay Bowser is cooler.

I think Kanji is just confused about his sexuality. And like a few others said, it is open to interpretation.

neat

Kanji also gets a nosebleed during the camping trip when he sees Yukiko and Chie in swimsuits. It's pretty clear his sexuality isn't on either end of the sexuality spectrum.
---

Oh yeah, I forgot about that >_>

He also gets raped by that fat chick too after he passes out from seeing Chie and Yukiko in their tent

Those swimsuits sucked. Yosuke shouldve at least gotten something in the thong category :<

he got the nosebleed while he was staring at MC and yusuke shirtless and wet
he seems surprised that he got pushed in as well since he didnt do anything to them.
