SEGA and ATLUS released a new character trailer for Persona 5 Tactica introducing Ryuji Sakamoto, who is also known by the Phantom Thief codename Skull. Ryuji will charge into battle with Captain Kid, his signature Persona from Persona 5 / Persona 5 Royal.
Ryuji Sakamoto is determined to lead his aid as a Phantom Thief once more. He comes equipped with a powerful lead pipe and shotgun, which both deal heavy physical damage. Ryuji’s Voltage Skill appears to target three rows worth of enemies in a single strike, dealing major damage with an increased chance of landing a critical hit. In Persona 5 Tactica, Ryuji is voiced by Japanese voice actor Mamoru Miyano. Max Mittelman will likely reprise his role as the teenage troublemaker in English.
Ryuji’s character description from the official website reads, “A boy who became a notorious troublemaker after physical education teachers purposely failed him. He awakened his Persona when he wandered into the strange realm with the main character. He became friends with the main character, who sympathized with him through his own similar circumstances, and together they founded the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, fighting against adults with desires. He’s quick to put up his fists, but is also filled with compassion. When he sees a friend in need or someone who is oppressed, he and his sense of justice and bravery is willing to stand up to any opponent. His Persona is Captain Kid.”
