Here are the connections for Takumi and Goro:

Supporting characters from the latest installments in popular video game franchises who, despite being very skilled at what they do, lack self-esteem and yearn to be loved. Both started out as against the main character, though they eventually joined up with them, though this only happened in the Birthright and Revelations routes for Takumi. They mainly fight using ranged combat, bows for Takumi and guns for Goro, but they both possess a mystical ability that manifests in the form of archery, with Takumi wielding the Fujin Yumi, a magical bow crafted by the Rainbow Sage that enhances the user's archery talents when wielded, and Goro's Persona being Robin Hood, which wields a large bow to fight with. Despite being on a team with the protagonist, they're actually jealous and deeply resentful of them for their own personal reasons. Near the end of their games, though this only applies to Conquest for Takumi, there's a twist that reveals that they were under the control of the main villains the whole time, with their powers changing during their final battle to symbolize this, with Takumi's bow changing from Fujin Yumi to the darker Skadi, and Goro's Persona changing from Robin Hood to Loki, the god of mischief. After being defeated by the protagonist, they end up dying as good guys once more, Takumi by losing Anankos' influence, and Goro by protecting the protagonists from an evil copy of himself.
