A knife-wielding lunatic on the surface and one of the saddest men in Sega's catalog underneath.
Majima became beloved because the franchise slowly revealed the structure under the madness. The eyepatch, manic energy, and unpredictable entrances sell the meme version, but the tragedy is what turns him into a real favorite.
Example
Majima Everywhere could have reduced him to a running gag; instead it somehow made his obsession feel more affectionate and unforgettable.
Why it matters
Majima matters because extreme performative chaos lands harder when it is covering actual pain.
