In Persona 5 and its derivated games, Makoto Niijima is said to practice Aikido specifically, even in the Japanese version. It seems to be a huge part of her character.

FACT: It's not true. She does mixed martial arts, none of which are Aikido.
Here's what I found in P5 and P5D
1.- No clips from P5R, P5S or anywhere else because I'm working with what I have.

2.- I didn't care to make it slower so you'll have to pause for the text. Video editing isn't my thing.🤷🏽‍♂️

3.- Music source:


4.- Aikido vid source:
If anything, Akido is very close to Sistema. Deeper analysis of this fighting style applied to a fighting game character seen here:
This started from a "did you know Makoto and Makoto share moves? cool right?" but then I realized she isn't even consistent in what she practices and got mad lol
DISCLAIMER: She is literally my favorite character in P5, I don't do this from a place of hate.

I wanted to learn more about her, then ended up confused.

I'm a Shumako guy too okay
