#not that I think people necessarily *shouldn't* watch buffmaister's videos! just definitely take them with a large helping of salt

[p5x-theories]

Hey I was just watching this video of the first beta, and we hear a reference to Ikenami?(at 29:33) He seems to be somewhat well known in this game, I wonder why?

Yep, that's the same place he's found in the second beta, too, the second beta just adds a camera pan over to who the girls are talking about so we actually got to see him finally, haha! The dialogue's pretty much the same (if not exactly the same, I don't remember for certain), so we don't really know yet why he's known even to the girls at Kokatsu when he attends Kiga, assuming there's more to it than just his attractiveness.

Also, just as a heads up, be a little wary of BuffMaister's translation videos! They're translated with AI, as mentioned in the description, which means they're kind of useful for getting the gist, but not always super reliable. Even just in that scene in the first beta, the girls mention Ikenami by name twice, but the name's entirely cut the first time, and very mistranslated the second, and his school name's also dropped from the "translated" dialogue. The overall idea of the lines is translated, but I can understand the Japanese voice lines, so I can tell the detail accuracy of the English text translation is somewhat dubious.
