[Review] Sanada Akihiko's (Persona 4 Arena the Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena) Character Design

          Hello! Now, it is the perfect time to introduce you my most favorite character! Yes, as you can expected, he is from my most favorite game all the time, Persona 3. But, it's a better version of him (my preference of course, lol). Sanada Akihiko from Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena (from now on let's just simplified it as Persona 4 Arena)!! (And it's gonna be a loooonng post, so be prepared!)

Character Design for Persona 3

Fight Pose

     In Persona 3, 17 years old's Sanada Akihiko can be described as a serious, determined, cool and well-respected upperclassman. He is really eager to fight and really excited about it. He never gives up and always tries to get stronger in order to protect the others. He acts like an older brother for the younger member of S.E.E.S (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (They prevent The Fall to arrives by beating some shadows)).

       As we can see in his design, he wears black leather gloves and white band-aid on his left forehead (?) to describe him as a boxer (fight lover) and always do the training himself. Not like the other students of Gekkoukan, he doesn't wear his school's standard jacket, but wears a sweater vest instead (with somekind of logo "b" for boxing maybe? (considering that he is a boxer lover) on his left chest), because it's more practical (when he has to fight someone / something anytime and anywhere), but neatly dressed. The red color is being used for his sweater vest, it's to describe him as a passionate person, a calm but passionate person (on boxing, of course). His facial expression shows that he is a very serious person (in some event), calm but easily get angry over something when triggered (about justice and the persons he really cares about), ...

Character Design for Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena

          And now for the Persona 4's version, he has been 20 years old already and he looks like an old man (with his white hair and beard lol). His new looks shows some scars on his chest and arms, a new band-aid on his right cheek and his left leg, a new haircut, shirtless, a very well-build body, a red cape, shabby brown pants, red shoes, a gun-case on his left armpit, a knife on his right waist, and a little bag on his right waist. Many says that they really hate this version of Akihiko...



Yap, that's what they said and I do agree with them, but! I also realized that it's needed to make them fit to their new story. While in Persona 3 the story is so dark and gloomy, in Persona 4 the story is more cheerful and thrilling.
