Should the player pursue a confidant with Yusuke, he admits to the protagonist that he has lost his drive to continue painting after his falling out with Madarame. Out of desperation, he asks to travel to [[Mementos]] to find some kind of inspiration. His experience leads him to create a painting titled "Desire," which he was proud enough to submit to an upcoming art exhibition. To his disappointment, the painting was received negatively by critics and patrons, with it being emotionless and stale as a common criticism. This nearly convinces Yusuke to give up entirely, but the protagonist convinces him to try again and improve his craft. This leads to several day trips where Yusuke does several life still and realizes how Madarame is the reason his outlook on life and beauty is so superficial and he might be going down that same dark path his former mentor took. Yusuke eventually meets Akiko Kawanabe, director of the Japanese Art Support Foundation one of the critics from the gallery. After hearing Yusuke's story, he offers him a spot in a new gallery in exchange for the paintings being sold and marketed as painted by a tragic, brooding figure. This offer angers Yusuke for having nothing to do with art in his eyes and rejects the offer. Kawanabe claims that Yusuke is acting immature and makes another offer: the foundation's unconditional support if he wins an upcoming competition. Yusuke accepts, wanting to show the world the true meaning of art is not monetary gain, but passion and love for the craft. After failing to come up with inspiration, Yusuke laments that he will never become one of the great artists. The rest of the Phantom Thieves tell him to stop comparing himself to others and there is nothing wrong with doing things for himself, but art needs to be made for others in order to succeed. This causes Yusuke to realize beauty on a deeper level and he creates a painting titled "Desire and Hope," which wins the competition. Kawanabe soon after reveals his taunting was merely a test of his character and offers the support of the foundation. Yusuke again declines, saying that his friends are his true inspiration and he will never follow in Madarame's footsteps if they are around. | Should the player pursue a confidant with Yusuke, he admits to the protagonist that he has lost his drive to continue painting after his falling out with Madarame.

When Takuto Maruki alters reality in ''Persona 5 Royal'', Madarame is released from jail and apologizes to Yusuke and allows the artwork he stole to be displayed under the original creators' names. When Yusuke realizes this is just an illusion, this version of Madarame disappears and the painting Sayuri, created by Yusuke's mother but stolen by Madarame while she was dying, returns to Café Leblanc. If his confidant is completed, Yusuke confides in the protagonist that he feels guilty for rejecting reality and betraying his friends' trust in his eyes, even calling himself an "utterly hopeless fool." After venting his guilt for long enough, he apologizes to the protagonist and says he is his greatest teacher. Later on, Yusuke realizes he is the only one that would not be moving away after the school year ends, which made him feel slightly sad, but understood that life involves people going their | When Takuto Maruki alters reality in ''Persona 5 Royal'', Madarame is released from jail and apologizes to Yusuke and allows the artwork he stole to be displayed under the original creators' names.

During ''Persona 5 Strikers'', Yusuke meets a supposedly popular novelist Ango Natsume. While reading one of his novels, Yusuke admits he feels no passion from the author, a feeling he used to experience with his paintings. After discovering most of his novels were plagiarized, the Phantom Thieves quickly identify Natsume as Monarch and track him down to a party in hopes of gaining a password to expose him. During the party, Monarch insults Sayuri, which causes Yusuke to confront him about how his mother made Sayuri with love and passion unlike his stolen works. After defeating Monarch, Yusuke realizes that Natsume's grandfather is the world famous novelist Natsume Shougo, and he was driven to plagiarism to live up to his family's standards. Yusuke eventually gets Natsume to publicly admit to his plagiarism and to take a break from the literary world to hone his own unique craft. | During ''Persona 5 Strikers'', Yusuke meets a supposedly popular novelist Ango Natsume.
