You're taking 4K screenshots and shittily scribbling on them and reuploading them at sub 720p to try and pretend you have a greater intellectual capacity to consume artistic experiences
tldr; you're platinum mad son!

Perhaps....but let's unpack it some more!
Dyeing your hair is a temporary affair. It doesn't last very long. Chie as a child is depicted with her same golden brown hair. In the time skip, she has no black roots showing obviously and her longer haircut is still golden brown. As opposed to Kanji, whose hair has reverted to black. Same condition with Yosuke where his hair has been cut into a different style and time has passed but the same auburn color remains.
There is no mention of them dyeing their hair in the games. Therefore if you were to only consume the direct media itself and not read blurbs in art books or google about hair color, any of the character intentions that may have been written down whenever first designing the character, don't actually manifest themselves materially. Yosuke doesn't need to have dyed his hair in the story because it's not relevant. The only person who is directly mentioned and displayed as having dyed hair in the media itself is Kanji and it is relevant to his character.
I would hope Chie has golden brown pubes. And if they ever did a time skip 10-20 years in the future to show the characters, she would likely still have that exact same golden brown hair color.

No, I am sort of retarded anon that's true. But I'm not wrong about this fact. I understand you like the flavor of the SMT skill names. But lets dig in autistically shall we. Here's one of the best examples plain and simple.
Bravery: Increase attack power for ally
Tarukaja: Increase attack power for ally
Bravery, Latin bravus/barbarus, French braverie, to be bold. Noun, abstract concept, but represents an image in your mind INSTANTLY to all English speakers. Bravery=Courage=Strength=Power. This is communicated to you in an instant upon reading the word. You instantly associate this word with a gameplay mechanical application without even knowing what the application is.
Tarukaja means......absolutely nothing to me or you. When you read this in English, you see nothing but a cypher. Not English, doesn't seem to be Japanese either. Some mystical spell name to sound cool. Now once you've read the code closely and you piece that "taru" means "attack" and kaja means "buff ally", you can try to memorize that string of syllables instantly, try to associate it to the gameplay mechanic. But only after you've manually associated the syllable code words to the concept can you then associate it to a mechanic. There's no communication.
And then, you see other skills called Rakukaja, Matarukaja, Sukukaja, Masukukaja, etc, and all the other skills with non English root syllables that I'm not mentioning right now popping up in the same lists....it blends together, very easily. The concepts are not self evident. They are cyphers.
Still think the code terminology isn't obtuse? I understand that it's more than likely second nature to you by now being a big fan of the series for however long. But most games that are in English have gameplay mechanic labels that communicate information to the player with English. Like other anon stated, there's a reason P5 has bright, glowing icons to communicate what element/mechanic the skills use
