I know everyone seems to have a different opinion on Mishima, and quite frankly I wanna hear what you guys think about him while also sharing my opinion on him as a character. I would appreciate if you would share your views too, and also your reasoning behind them. Recently, I have completed the part of Mishima's confidant plot where you talk to his shadow in mementos and explain that what he's been doing is wrong and honestly, I can completely understand why some fans dislike Mishima. He is somewhat clingy and goes about trying to be famous or prove he "isn't a zero" very wrong. Some of his behaviors can also be seen as annoying as well. However, I personally cannot bring myself to hate this poor boy, especially after all that he's been through. Through the story and even his character ark, the player can see that Mishima has never really lead a very happy life. Bullied by classmates, being laughed at and harassed, being physically beaten by a man he should have been able to admire, also being bullied into spreading rumors by said teacher, and the list goes on. I remember that the first time I saw Mishima with all those bandages and bruises on his face, I pitied him. I could have only imagine the kind of hell he went through. But that's not the only thing either. I know it might sound childish or "weeby" of me, but it would be hard for me to say that I can't identify woth Mishima's struggles. Almost my whole school life I've been bullied and treated like I could never belong. I understand what it's like to feel powerless, like you'll never be able to make a difference in the world no matter how hard you try. How it feels knowing that in the end, you'll just wind up as a forgotten nobody who couldn't do anything. I get that his obsession over the Phantom Theives can seem annoying, but I personally am very easy to get addicted to anything I find enjoyable or interesting. My experiences have allowed me to empathize with this character, having him as one of my favorites despite all his flaws. Everybody has them. I apologize if it seemed like I was ranting, but I felt the need to get this out their and allow for debate. I would love if you guys could also express your like or dislike of Mishima, and I would enjoy sharing a friendly debate with you. Thanks for reading all this if you did, and again please share your opinion. Although I'm not sure if anyone will respond...
