@@veemon9009 If we think about both of their confidants, Ryuji's confidant is Akiren needing to help him while Akechi's is just hanging out with Akiren. Ryuji's social link feels more like a long favor while Akechi's feels like an actual friendship.
People say they like 3rd semester Akechi better than previous Akechi, but imo, it's the contrast between Pleasant Boy Akechi and sassy Akechi that makes it so fun.
yeah you are actually right when i think about he just suddenly switches from that friendly ace detective to a sassy person that feels he is the only sane person
Yeah, I couldn’t take this seriously as if this side of him were to stay. After what he showed us, the pathetic little temper tantrum, I doubt anyone could take him this way. “I’ve lived my whole life that way” no, dude, you haven’t. You’ve been under Shido’s thumb.
Maruki, please don’t touch that TV screen. Why? It’s fragile, that’s why- NO NO NO GET AWAY FROM THAT TV NO LET GO OF FUTABA *DON’T THROW HER INTO THE TV **_MARUKI_*
honestly 3rd semester Akechi made him one of my favorite characters in this game. His outright refusal to live in Maruki's false reality despite it being his only chance at survival, his very funny nav lines and his murderous demeanor in combat just made him a very fun and interesting character.
@@SethJV That’s if you maxed out his persona before the end. If you don’t, then I don’t think you get that scene, thus then implying he didn’t survive. It’s like Mass Effect 2. He must be loyal to your cause, must believe it, or else a single misstep seals his fate.
@@SethJV idk, it might have been just an hallucination for all we know, Joker also sees his Phantom Thief reflection on the train window for a split second
So in this reality Shido only goes to jail because of attempting to overthrow the government. He knew nothing about the cognitive psience so he didnt steal it from Maruki. Therefore he didnt have Wakaba developed it. Also since he didnt know about cognitive psience, even when Akechi came to offer hitman service he wouldnt accept because he thought Akechi was crazy”. So that explains why Wakaba and Okumura are alive. Also shows why Akechi was released and is a free man. joker didnt get arrested because probably the Phantom Thieves only changed Kamoshida’s heart and along with some requests in the Phansite. Thats why i notice their popularity in the Phansite vote is around 10-15% (the same amount after finish Kamoshida’s palace)
Original Gameteer i think i misinterpreted that they did change Kamoshida’s heart. During the conversation with Ann and Shiho in the 3rd semester, they never once mentioned Kamoshida. Looks like he didnt even work at Shujin to begin with. So basically the Phantom Thieves only did the requests on Phan Site
@@MetalX-zt2ws given we dont really know how much the phantom thieves did in Marukis world (they had to meet Morgana somehow) its possible the police got him or something
MetalX4473 not sure about Kaneshiro... but Madarame is supposed to be a good sensei. Thats why when you go to the gallery Yusuke said that its due Madarame’s patronage that the Sayuri got its recognition.
"His funding wa cut off and his research was ended". Me: It was Shido, wasn't it? It's always somehow Shido's fault. Maruki three flashbacks later: "The Legislative Masayoshi Shido...!" Me: I see it coming.
Considering it was already established with Wakaba that Shido shut down any research on Cognitive Psience to keep his involvement in the psychotic breakdown and mental shutdown cases a secret from the public, I think even the game assumes you know who shut down Maruki's research.
I just love this new Akechi, better to say, this real Akechi. I take him every night to the jazz club and he actually sims to trust joker and not actually hate him as he said before. Lovely.
He never really hated him, it was more like Akechi was trying to convince himself he did. Sure, there's a healthy amount of envy, spite, insecurity, and a need to prove that he's better than Akira; but there's also a lot of complicated feelings. A need to compete with/challenge eachother, a level of trust and understanding that they never really address but you can tell it's there (even after everything), Akechi's tendency to direct questions at Akira in order to hear his opinions/thoughts, the implication that Akechi's powers as a wildcard were stunted because Akira is his only confidant-- things of that nature. No matter how you perceive their relationship (platonically, friendly, romantically, problematically, or just rivals, etc etc.) you have to admit it's incredibly intriguing, and has a certain depth you never really get to see with the other thieves. His overhauled confidant (and character, really) in Royal was one of the best decisions Atlus has ever made. Made me appreciate Akechi as a character -- rather than seeing him as your everyday irredeemable villain -- as well as the connection he has with Akira, despite everything.
He's so self aware in the 3rd semester. You can tell he's genuinely in the mindset of "these are my last days on alive, so I refuse to waste a single moment"
Apparently the art team suggested Akechi have new portraits in the 3rd Semester. Thank God they did. Could you imagine this convo with his Pancake Prince portraits?
3:23 Don't... Don't do it... Harry, don't you dare choose the “.......” (goes down,) No! (Back an' forth,) are you f'real!? (Chooses 1st option.) ... You're playing a dangerous game, my friend.
@@baricode Akechi just makes a snarky remark about you being too attached to your friends, and tells you that he hopes you change your mind by the time you face Maruki together.
spoiler warning I don't like Akechi in P5, and I still can't say I like him as a person. He is guilty and got blood on his hands, totally deserve what happen in P5. However I really respect him in P5R 3rd semester. He's very first one realize what happened on player's side. All other phantom thief members were seduced by Maruki. Even protagonist could due to player's choose. Akechi knew or predicted what would happen if phantom thieves manage to stop Maruki, yet he was the only determined one from the very beginning. He would rather die than living in the illusion that created by someone else. He's not clean, but he surely got decent develop as a character in P5R.
@Tum Tum Not exactly, whether he's truly dead or not is ambiguous. Not only is there the train scene, there's no reason Maruki should know of Akechi's death, nor really much about him besides what is shown on TV. Also, he appears prior to Maruki's reality on December 24th.
The third semester is amazingly well done in so many ways. Joker’s interactions with Akechi and Sumire and the palace itself (especially the stuff you got to see in the videos about Maruki’s past) were incredible. Maruki was a really interesting character all around. The only criticisms I really have about this arc are minor nitpicks, being that the Adam Kadmon is just a scripted fight (which, to be fair, the Izanami True Form fight in P4G was also scripted so not too surprising) and Sumire’s showtime is too easy to miss. But all in all it’s still amazingly well done all around
My friend hates Maruki's palace and anything to do with the 3rd semester and while I respect opinions I don't understand why or how. It's so well done! I have to do a 3rd playthrough because I wanna finish up the Thieves Den and I'm so sad that I have to play through the vanilla way to end my time with Royal off. I love that they allowed Akechi to be his true self and be super bloodthirsty, ruthless, and just an all over snarky asshole 😂 Maruki and Sumire are such interesting characters and I was surprised with the way they tied in to each other
If what Akechi says is true, about Wakaba and Okumura being truly alive in this world, and not just cognitive copies of them, then that means that destroying this world is also destroying truly sentient beings. Putting an end to this altered reality is the same as killing them again. I can see how Akechi wouldn't have any compunction about that, but I'm sure Joker would...
I don’t believe they were completely fused with reality just yet. They were able to be resisted and the thieves were able to shatter themselves back to reality. Now once mementos fused it would have been impossible as you can’t resist Marukis reality
Maruki didn't even bring back Akechi cause of Joker's wishes, he brought him back to convince Joker (or you, the player) to choose the false reality. Yes, Joker did want to save Akechi but he did not tell Maruki that.
It just occurred to me, Maruki maybe able to make reality as if trauma didn't happen but he can't remove the impact that it had, when the phantom theives gained their memories back they went to help joker as soon as possible because they know that yes Maruki did seem to create scenarios where the bad stuff didn't happen but that doesn't change the fact that they did happen and they went through a lot and they're not going to throw away everything they learned, it was trauma that made the phantom theives meet in the first place and Maruki was just making them forget everything they have learned and made them who they are.
@@sonicdevil the Attack on Titan dub. Eren gets in a fight and says something like "You're gonna rip my shirt!" And it's just really out of place with, well, everything else they have to worry about in the show.
"I'll be the one to choose my path." Then where were you on the Day of Reckoning? Was Maruki right about you dying, but you somehow stayed alive when the world went back to normal?
And speaking about "clean", Atlus really did a goodjob here. Make a popular character "clean" is not something new, but it did goes kind too far in Japanes video games, anime and manga in past 20 yrs. Akechi in P5R just show us that you don't need to give excuses nor prettify what a character did, and still able to develop his depth and personality. I jus don't get why they ruin this at the ending anime hint that Akechi might still alive.
I think that Akechi being alive makes sense. If he was really just alive because of Joker's desired reality then Akechi would have been gone when Joker rejected Maruki's reality multiple times. We have been told that Okumura and Wakaba went back to being dead when Haru and Futaba rejected that reality. Otherwise it would be a big plothole.
Hikari Hikari If it's a paradox, then Wakaba and Okumura should of both stayed alive as well. Also, Akechi has memories of the actual reality while Wakaba and Okumura do not. So it makes sense he's actually alive still but of course, Atlus wants to leave it up for interpretation
@@zobozo5059 I agree, every other major death happens on screen, except for akechi’s, I’m pretty sure they leave it up to the player to decide. My head canon is he’s still alive
Mc: Let me get this straight Akechi. You want to return to the old reality where things you use to despise is over there, not to mention your former sins, your future arrest if discovered alive? You are a fool. I would rather coward escaped to another reality than spend a second in prison
@@princecharming8125 yeah but just because people have done worse doesn't mean someone's bad actions are excused either, and Akechi is pretty okay with the idea of facing the consequences of his actions since the alternative, being only alive for someone else's wish fufillment and under the thumb of another person acting as a de facto god, is his very much subjective definition of a living existential hell
2:02 I want to make assumption that only ones arrested In this reality is Kamoshida, Kaneshiro, and Shido. Kamoshida was taking too far and spreading lies in school so phantom thieves were formed in this reality so check, Kaneshiro was actual criminal harming people in shibuya so check, shido akechi said it.
Listen I’m stupid... I thought the whole point of his arc was that he couldn’t control his path? He’s always told what to do, how to be a detective prince and who to give mental breakdowns to, stuff like that So him saying he’s been choosing his path his whole life doesn’t make sense to me Did I misinterpret his whole goddamn arc
It’s a bit of both really, while he did choose to go approach Shido and offer up his power with the goal of a long term revenge plot, he unknowingly just fell into his hands and did exactly what Shido told him to do like a puppet on strings. His hatred and anger towards Shido ultimately lead him to be the ideal pawn.

p-puke o-on me ada- I mean ake- I mean goro- I..I...
akechi shido
*Masayoshi Akechi
Akechi is his family name
Shido is his father's family name
So if Akechi lives with his father normally his name would be...
SHIDO GORO.
Ew.
Tohru Akechi... Alright I'mma head out.

"I'll be the one to choose my path." Then where were you on the Day of Reckoning?
Was Maruki right about you dying, but you somehow stayed alive when the world went back to normal?
To be fair I thought that morgana would get a human body thanks to training by teddie
Why the calendar look normal?
Why is it I'm not surprised they got Bryce Papenbrook somehow involved in the voice acting of this game.
JUST DO EACHOTHER ALREADY
Akechi is the best boy and best character of all royal. I’m pissed with the True ending of Royal.
He is alive at the end
Time for Persona 5 2 babyyyyy
Schroedingers Akechi
I didn't like akechi very much in base p5 but royal changed my opinion oh boy
His confidant overhaul made my entire year.
And speaking about "clean", Atlus really did a goodjob here. Make a popular character "clean" is not something new, but it did goes kind too far in Japanes video games, anime and manga in past 20 yrs. Akechi in P5R just show us that you don't need to give excuses nor prettify what a character did, and still able to develop his depth and personality. I jus don't get why they ruin this at the ending anime hint that Akechi might still alive.
I think that Akechi being alive makes sense. If he was really just alive because of Joker's desired reality then Akechi would have been gone when Joker rejected Maruki's reality multiple times. We have been told that Okumura and Wakaba went back to being dead when Haru and Futaba rejected that reality. Otherwise it would be a big plothole.
@@kushiedaminorii7226 I consider that as a paradox
Hikari Hikari If it's a paradox, then Wakaba and Okumura should of both stayed alive as well. Also, Akechi has memories of the actual reality while Wakaba and Okumura do not. So it makes sense he's actually alive still but of course, Atlus wants to leave it up for interpretation
@@zobozo5059 I agree, every other major death happens on screen, except for akechi’s, I’m pretty sure they leave it up to the player to decide. My head canon is he’s still alive
3:13 you can see the internal conflict
"That's quite the funny joke, it makes me want to puKE
i wonder if theres a way to convince akechi to like this reality
i think it would be like something like "but akechi i like you alot"
There is an option akin to that, and he more or less calls you sentimental scum for letting one person be the reason to let all reality go to hell.
Catnoir English voice actor as human morgana
*Kirito has entered the chat*
thank you for putting a spoiler warning
This fucking song... it is on another level
His voice actor is legendary especially when he’s using his persona specifically Loki
I don't know if I should feel annoyed or... exhilarated whenever Akechi cracks one of. Seriously, part of me want to just... mmh 😌
PANCAKESSSSSSS
“That’s quite the funny joke. It makes me want to puke.”
“Enough with that high and mighty bullshit of yours. It makes me sick.”
Donuts
Akechi: Pancakes, I don't want to hear that word for a long long time.
“If I hear one more person mention pancakes. I will shut them up permanently.”
Bruh, I haven't played royal yet, so when a handsome boy with the name of Morgana appeared on the screen I fucking freaked out ... in the best way
Looks like the Phantom Ruby is up to its old shenanigans again
I may have gotten the “bad” ending first and honestly I like both endings
Akechi is best waifu
Mc: Let me get this straight Akechi. You want to return to the old reality where things you use to despise is over there, not to mention your former sins, your future arrest if discovered alive? You are a fool. I would rather coward escaped to another reality than spend a second in prison
The thing with Akechi is he doesn't believe he's worthy of redemption
@@jeaddhist Mc: Not worthy of redemption? There been people surprisingly far worst than Akechi in history
@@princecharming8125 yeah but just because people have done worse doesn't mean someone's bad actions are excused either, and Akechi is pretty okay with the idea of facing the consequences of his actions since the alternative, being only alive for someone else's wish fufillment and under the thumb of another person acting as a de facto god, is his very much subjective definition of a living existential hell
Oh no he has the akihiko smirk now
2:02 I want to make assumption that only ones arrested In this reality is Kamoshida, Kaneshiro, and Shido.
Kamoshida was taking too far and spreading lies in school so phantom thieves were formed in this reality so check,
Kaneshiro was actual criminal harming people in shibuya so check,
shido akechi said it.
The last time someone tried to save people through a cognitive world.. It didn't go well.
the way the girls act about gojo satoru is me with him
Akechi kunnnnnn awww i love u Akechi
Ah Yes *Light Yagami*
Unpopular opinion: We didn't get enough human Morgana
That research facility
Isn't that the facility from scramble
Just a hunch but i do believe it is correct
2:44 The Thumbnail.
akechi voice omy godddd😭
He looks like so depressed bro like damn🫥
Listen I’m stupid...
I thought the whole point of his arc was that he couldn’t control his path? He’s always told what to do, how to be a detective prince and who to give mental breakdowns to, stuff like that
So him saying he’s been choosing his path his whole life doesn’t make sense to me
Did I misinterpret his whole goddamn arc
It’s a bit of both really, while he did choose to go approach Shido and offer up his power with the goal of a long term revenge plot, he unknowingly just fell into his hands and did exactly what Shido told him to do like a puppet on strings. His hatred and anger towards Shido ultimately lead him to be the ideal pawn.
I don't mind this akechi at all hope this continues
Oh no he’s hot now
Anyone know the background music name? I can’t find it in the ost
I am Maruki level 7, Akechi level 7 and Kasumi level 5, tho its saes palace rn..
Do i dont get this Cutscene anymore?
Pastella you have to have Maruki to level 9 by November 18th-19th Aketchi to level 8 by the end of sae’s palace and Kasumi to level 5 by the end of sae’s palace
@@syannejohnson6545 That means i don't get it?
@@arsenesoir if you didn't get Maruki to rank 9 by the 18th then you won't get this whole arc. If you already *went to fight Shadow Sae herself* then you are locked out, otherwise you may have time.
@@matchanavi Aww man.
"You guys are really hitting it off lately. Of course, that's not a bad thing" yo, Morgana ships Joker and Akechi lol
Plot twist: he becomes a human to turn joker gay, so he can have lady ann coochie all to himself
Lorn Warbler but it doesn’t work on the ultimate chad he fucked Ann even harder for that shit
Get in line Morgana.
@@jrd1519 Yu is the ultimate chad
BasicallyRandom Yu bout gay as fuck gtfo with that chad bullshit
0:59 he literally killed Wakaba Isshiki he should know he is too stupid and a bad detective
