Persona 4 Arena

Victory Screen Interactions
BlazBlue
Ragna the Bloodedge
Ragna: Look. I don't give a damn about the "strength of your bonds", but if you keep your eyes forward, I'll watch your back.
Yu: Our worlds may be different, but our bonds are shared... If you fight by my side, Ragna-san, I'll cut us a path!
Hakumen
Hakumen: The power to protect those you care for -- is that how you define righteousness? Then do not fear, do not let pride consume you, and you are sure to find your path.
Yu: The way you live has taught me a lot. I will walk a path without regrets, with my friends at my side.
Izayoi
Izayoi: My pursuit of justice demands I eradicate all evil in my path. I suggest you stand aside.
Yu: Even then, we walk forward. We can't protect anyone if we're too busy watching our feet.
Es Mitsurugi
Es: The strength of your bonds... Do you mean to say that your connection with others influences how you fight?
Yu: It's true for you too, Es. If your friends were here, you'd become stronger. A person can only do so much alone.
Persona 4 Arena
Yosuke Hanamura
Yosuke: Score one for us! Hate to tell ya, there's no chance you can beat me and my partner!
Yu: Yeah, we won't lose. Never have, never will.
Chie Satonaka
Chie: And we're done! Hmm... I guess I've still got a long way to go to catch up to you, Narukami-kun!
Yu: Haha, guess I can't afford to stand still. Let's see just how strong we can become.
Yukiko Amagi
Yukiko: Did I manage to show you how reliable I can be? I want to help you out more, Narukami-kun.
Yu: You were perfect. When I fight with you, I don't hesitate at all. If you weren't here, it wouldn't have gone so well.
Kanji Tatsumi
Yu: You’ve gotten strong, Kanji.
Kanji: Hell yeah! It’s a real honor to hear that from you, Senpai. I’m gonna keep trying to do better and better.
Naoto Shirogane
Yu: You never change, do you, Naoto?
Naoto: Please don't worry. No matter the situation, I'll keep you safe, Senpai.
Labrys
Labrys: Even if my body is a machine, all of ya treat me like a normal person. That's what lets me trust everyone and fight.
Yu: We're tied with a bond. You are who you are, Labrys, and that's all that matters.
Under Night In-Birth
Hyde Kido
Yu: The "EXS", huh... I can't see any limit to its power... Just how strong is it?
Hyde: Woah! Just don't jump in front of me like that! I mean, you're good, but my right hand won't listen to me.
Gordeau the Harvester
Gordeau: A real man speaks with his actions, not his words. On the battlefield, the good talkers are usually the first to die.
Yu: Wow... I don't think I've ever met anyone who emanates such manly energy...
Yuzuriha
Yuzuriha: You passed the test! ♪ I can rest assured that you'll only use your powers for good. ♪
Yu: The Dual Moons One Blade Drawing Style, huh... It's an honor to hear such praise from someone so skilled.
RWBY
Ruby Rose
Ruby: Woohoo! You're so cool, Narukami! You really are a kingpin!
Yu: (...How do so many people know that nickname? Is the Midnight Channel involved somehow... ?)
Weiss Schnee
Yu: Your dynamic movement and carefully chosen techniques really saved me. The Schnee family must be something special.
Weiss: It's certainly something... We'll meet again, but until then, farewell.
