The English dub pronounces it as o-KU-mura. Haru's surname, Okumura, is properly pronounced O-ku-MU-ra.The English dub puts emphasis on the second syllable, resulting in ma-KO-to. In Japanese, the emphasis is on the first and third syllables, so MA-ko-TO. Makoto's name is also pronounced differently in the English dub.Like Ryuji, the first syllable isn't stressed in the English dub and neither is the last "ki", resulting in ta-KA-maki. Ann's surname, Takamaki, is pronounced TA-KA-ma-KI.The English localization stresses on the second syllable and puts less emphasis on the first syllable, resulting in sa-KA-moto. Ryuji's surname, Sakamoto, is pronounced SA-KA (as in the word "soccer")-mo (as in motor)-to (as in tow truck) in Japanese.This was allegedly at the insistence of ATLUS Japan, who wanted the characters' names to sound "more American" for the dub. AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: Most of the Thieves' surnames are pronounced differently from the original Japanese in the English localization.However, in the true ending, Joker goes to each one to help them confront their doubts and reaffirm their drive, helping them to rekindle the rebellious fire within. In the bad ending where Joker sides with Yaldabaoth, this results in them being Ret-Gone for real, with Joker becoming his pawn. 10-Minute Retirement: After nearly being wiped from existence, the team is shaken up by the experiences and filled with doubt when Joker finds them in the Velvet Room after exposing Yaldabaoth and restoring Igor and Lavenza.After the world is saved, the police continue to bear a grudge against the Phantom Thieves, but they still have the support of tons of people across Japan. In the final battle, for a brief moment, all of Shibuya believes in the Phantom Thieves. It becomes close to 100% at one point, but this is because the Big Bad (not Shido, but Yaldabaoth) manipulated public cognition, and it quickly drops near zero for the same reason. The Phan-Site tracks, via a percentage, the Phantom Thieves' approval rating. 0% Approval Rating: Comes very close to this after Joker gets out from the Interrogation Room alive and happens for real when The Man Behind the Man rears his ugly head by just making them outright not exist from people's coginition.
