Since his role in Persona 6, his presence in the game has been received incredibly positively with a broader spectrum of Persona fans that are Polish–and those that are American, as the character does well in balancing American and Polish traits as a result of his dual-ethnicity. His treatment of Anti-Polish sentiment is also well-written here as a result of his responses being accurately written, mentioning the offensiveness of such statements and trying to get the person to change–but when it’s an antagonist, it’s criticized as he becomes cinematically uncontrolled and angry as he curses out the antagonist. His use as the tank is also incredibly popular with the players as many have described him as the “Tall but massive” team member as a result of his tall and bulky stature, and has been commented on as a positive portrayal of a Polish character in video games, but some of the portrayals of the character in the game have been judged harshly as a result of his impulsiveness which is a big part of the beginning of the game, but the accurate opening up of the character has been praised after he improved near the end of the beginning. In Persona 6: Dancing in Auroralight, he is portrayed by Bartosz Belenia for his regular actions and Radiohead's Thom Yorke when he's dancing.
