I agree. And his solo fever part hurts just seeing him trample around like crazy, reaching out for help but cutting himself off. This dance interpreted his character so well.
YESS, he starts with joyful moves smiles and winks, to show the image he builds for himself, but always showing a little bit of his inner rage behind his hands. Then the rage builds up and he goes rampage, agressive moves, crazy faces, and even painful reactions. After that he is trying to reach for help as you said, and the last, his moves are stuck, like a puppet, when he realizes he's been a tool for Shido all along, moving as he has strings attached to him. That's beautiful
Even if he only has like one dance in the game, I'm glad they made it so incredibly expressive. It's probably one of my favourite P5 dances because of how well it's choreographed. It's also REALLY fucking sad. He goes from being so smooth and graceful to these jerky, spasmodic movements and it says so much about what he's been through.
i find it ridiculously funny that i sat here thinking “man, how does she remember all of this? the facial expressions, the hand movements...” when i’m literally a dancer & musical theatre actor. i do this for a living
You can tell how much she loves Akechi's character by the fact that even though she said this dance was harder than Ann's I think she did this one even better.
This is absolutely incredible CrystAAHHL. Not only did you perfectly match Akechi movements but also his energy and expressions at the exact same time. I would absolutely reward you with Pancakes if I could for pulling this off.
I like how how Aketchi in this song subtly goes between well put together and coordinated to seemingly like he’s on the verge to losing composure when dancing. Well suited for his character.
I remember when P5D was first shown, and there were some people who complained that the dancers didn't look as neat or professional as the P4 gang's, but what they seemed to miss was the interpretive-ness of it and its reflection on the characters. This reminded me of that.
At 0:33 I still can’t believe how well she nailed that kick. Also fun fact! Akechi’s mocap dancer for this song is a woman! I believe she also did the mocapping for Naoto and Mitsuru as well.
I'm a dancer myself, but I haven't practiced in quite a while for multiple reasons. One of them being that I usually learn choreos I find online which I like (if I upload them as a dance cover is a different story), and lately I just ran out of stuff that I was motivated enough to learn while at the same time wouldn't take me 3 months to complete because I'd have to adapt to a whole new genre. And I think I'm gonna learn the Persona dances now. Right after my race this weekend but then I'll continue dance practice. Thanks for bringing my motivation back! 😄
*Saw the notification* *Unfished homework due 2row glaring at me* me: "Fuck this" I can't honestly say how long I've waited for someone to do a dance cover of Akechi's dance. And it's even better when it's one of my fav yt's!
goddamn you nailed that switch to unhinged Akechi I’d never actually seen the solo fever times for the characters until I watched these videos, I imagine Ren’s watching his boyfriend and going like “Yep. That’s the boy I’m marrying.” XD
1:07 I just realized how great this move is. This is the pose Akechi makes when summoning Robin Hood. In this dance he switches faces from his "Detective Prince" persona to his "Black Mask" persona. So that pose, in battle, was him essentially "putting on the mask" rather than everyone else ripping it off. In this dance, however, it can be seen as him "taking off the mask", as the "Black Mask" persona is closer to his true feelings.
i love how akechi dancing isn't really him dancing to the song and is more about expressing himself with dancing with the song playing in the background.
Gotta admit. You popped up randomly in my feed, I checked it out because weird expressions really get to me and I wanted to laugh. You provided. But then. Oh then. I scrolled through your videos and found THIS. In that moment, I realized this is a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve. And I adore that. You've got yourself a new fan.
All throughout 2021 i keep coming back to this video. I always watch it at least twice to focus on them both. They're both awesome, sad only one of them is real. But like, DAMN it's so cool how crystAAAHHL can dance like that and I am constantly in awe lol. This video makes me happy Partially bc I envy her dance skills Partially bc I want to be Akechi And partially just because Pancake boi Akechi
omg I can tell just by looking that this was so hard to pull off, yet you did it and you did it so well too. Congratulations, you're a true Pancake Boi lover!
Fun to see you go ham with some of those facial expressions while still nailing the moves! You were clearly having a lot of fun, so it made it even the more fun of a watch.
Every time I watch Aketchi do his dance I feel like there’s like a story going on the entire time and my mind is like analyzing every move. Like you can see the moments in his down towards like he snaps for a second and then tries to revert back and if you look at how he’s like in the story that’s basically how he is
My third time watching in a row and I'm truly amazed by the fact it took you 20 minutes to record after you've spent 4/5 hours to learn the dance. You've completely nailed it!!
I have to admit, I know very little about dance but this got me feeling all kinds of things. You really did this one justice! ...I'll see myself out. But it really was a great interpretation. It's clear you were having fun with it!
Gotta love how she went from hating Akechi to becoming Akechi
“You’ve become the very thing you’ve sworn to destroy!!”
#GoodbyeGoro more like #HELLOLOKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Royal did a good job for him xD from meh to best boi for me ahaha
I liked Akechi in the original persona, but yes Royal did make him more awesome with the extra content they added.
@@groovygeorge6375 it made him redeemable
Edit: ok redeemable was the wrong word:
It made him likable
Crystal at the start: I hate Akechi
Crystal at the end: I love Akechi
Crystal now: I *am* Akechi
So true
Crystal now; I dance like Akechi
Its perfect
She's a simp.
I AM THE LIQUOR RICKY
Character development of Goro on Cristah: Hate Akechi, Love Akechi, Be Akechi
And the best part: dance like Akechi!
If crystahl ever got merch, i want that on a shirt
@@kittyjeany I'd definitely buy this shirt
“Iv gotta wash the Akechi, Iv gotta date the Akechi, Iv gotta BE THE AKECHI!”
Hate Pancake, Love Pancake, Be Pancake
akechis hair in the game: *doesn't move much if at all*
crystAAAHHL's hair during the dance: 🔃🔄⤵️⤴️↪️↩️⬅️➡️⬆️⬇️
Underrated 😂
i was thinking maybe she should be wearing a wig doesn't she?
His hair should be moving more. He's got long hair
if only the game respected hair physics >:C
@@CrystAAHHL lol
Dammit! She made herself go psychotic!!
lol im dead
Its Ironic that soon after A cognitive Akechi becomes his death
No kidding
I fucking choked on my drink
this gamer deserves a noble peace prize for that fucking comedy
Breaking news:
Obsessed fangirl stole late detective prince Akechi's clothes and was seen dancing in public
Naked Detective rants about crazy fangirls

“TRASH OF SOCIETY!”
*late*
OOF
how indecent! the dancing part, I mean /j
Your dedication to this character is almost that of his love to pancakes and Joker's suffering

everyone forgets about "pancake... I don't want to hear that word again for a long long time."

It's genuinely intriguing how much this dance represents Akechi's character arc

@@fatethefox And the dead look in his eyes at the end too...
And the puppet-like moves to show he was being manipulated/used as a puppet

Wait thats so cool
That’s so cool !!!🤩🤩🤩
YUP! Did dance for over a decade and had the same thought!
She simply is Akechi
The Moment we all been waiting for, When Crystal reveals her true power.
And shows us who she really is.
IvE bEeN wAiTiNg FoR tHiS
Shes been the black mask all along
So she's a trickster, the one who can change his persona and look like anyone she like... I guess we gonna get a new guest in the velvet room.
Teammates? Friends?!
To hell with that!!!
@@CrescentUmbreon Why am i inferior to you
You can see how happy she is to dance as Goro Pancake.
Delicious pancakes
@@umbral_dragon7048 Marvelous pancakes.
@@sonicplays8740 Astounding pancakes.
way above the average pancakes
"Pancakes.... I dont want to hear that word for a long long time."

"GoodbyeGoro, how about hello CRYSTAAHHL!!!"
Sorry to be this gal but...
Underatted comment!!
This is absolutely incredible CrystAAHHL. Not only did you perfectly match Akechi movements but also his energy and expressions at the exact same time.
I would absolutely reward you with Pancakes if I could for pulling this off.
She got the choreography, outfit and even camera angles down! That’s more dedication than I’ll ever have
King crazy
The fact that you do these dances by memorizing it makes you even more talented, as yusuke would say, “More, Give Me More!”
The way she smiles all the time while imitating her husbando is-
I like how how Aketchi in this song subtly goes between well put together and coordinated to seemingly like he’s on the verge to losing composure when dancing. Well suited for his character.

Akechi: Psycho face but cares
Crystal: genuine smile that has me feeling so giddy for no apparent reason.
I hope Robbie sees this. He'd love it lol
Now that’s definitely King Crazy, you did an absolutely stellar job with this
At 0:33 I still can’t believe how well she nailed that kick.
Also fun fact! Akechi’s mocap dancer for this song is a woman! I believe she also did the mocapping for Naoto and Mitsuru as well.
Not shocking its a woman...his dance is very feminine looking lol
I absolutely love how she perfected the way akechi is telling his story and how he was a puppet its heartwarming akechi is babey
When fever started I was expecting Crystaahhl to just straight up walk through the split screen and have a short duet witch Akechi himself
That would be awesome
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Beat me to it
DID YOU SEE THAT SHINJI
I dont care

@@CrystAAHHL but pancakes
@@CrystAAHHL pancakes are obviously superior 🙄🙄
@@CrystAAHHL homework is homelessaphobic. There just canceled schools everywhere
I can see the happiness on her face
It's so wholesome
goddamn you nailed that switch to unhinged Akechi

I like how she's trying so hard not to lose it
OMG THEY LITERALLY THE SAME?!

I love Akechie's dance, to me it packs such a message. I view it as a man who's dancing with his own torment, a dance with insanity.
this is now female akechi performing ‘will power’ lets give her a round of applause to see her sweet moves!
I was smiling throughout the entire thing. I’m speechless, this is brilliant! CrystAAHHL’s got some moves!
bruh. This is so good. Youre basically just a female Akechi XD
femc? no! fega!
Chihiro!
Apparently, the person who did the motion capture for Akechi's dance was actually female. Take from that what you will!
Yeah she looks really similar, doesn't even need a wig lmao
I love how she NAILED the facial expressions from 2:01 - 2:08
This dance really shows akechi's character transformation
U can tell she liked doing this because she was pretty much smiling the whole time
Gotta admit. You popped up randomly in my feed, I checked it out because weird expressions really get to me and I wanted to laugh. You provided.
But then. Oh then. I scrolled through your videos and found THIS. In that moment, I realized this is a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve. And I adore that. You've got yourself a new fan.
crystal looks like she’s having so much fun and it really shows in her dancing. 20/10 would watch again
Omfg that was AMAZING Looking cool jok- wait wrong character
Damn Femc Joker route is looking different 😳😳
Those expressions were *chef's kiss* AMAZING! You really captured the emotions Akechi was having during the dance!
I never could of imagine that passion and insanity could've surfaced like this. Creativity is truly boundless!
the best part of this is how she fully embraces his insanity
All throughout 2021 i keep coming back to this video. I always watch it at least twice to focus on them both. They're both awesome, sad only one of them is real. But like, DAMN it's so cool how crystAAAHHL can dance like that and I am constantly in awe lol.
This video makes me happy
Partially bc I envy her dance skills
Partially bc I want to be Akechi
And partially just because Pancake boi Akechi
Can we just clap up how crystal learned this complicated dance? The moves are so unique it probably took a hot minute to perfect 👏👏👏
Dude, I can't... I can't stop smiling the moment this video started. Love your work!
I'm impressed how dedicated you are to recreating this dance, it's incredible
omg I can tell just by looking that this was so hard to pull off, yet you did it and you did it so well too. Congratulations, you're a true Pancake Boi lover!
Man this song really expresses Akechi’s struggle I never noticed that :O
honest to god akechi lookin like his psychopath but crystahl looks so happy XD
GIRL GO OFFFFFFFFF WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Spoilers
I love how Akechi is technically dancing over his grave.
I love how his dance is a beautiful representation of his personal story. So good!
Her dancing as Akechi to this song is everything I needed to see
Fun to see you go ham with some of those facial expressions while still nailing the moves! You were clearly having a lot of fun, so it made it even the more fun of a watch.
Good job as always, I’ve been waiting for this. Can’t wait to see another dance, I hope you not feeling cold outside.
This is absolutely incredible your dedication to the character and the dancing itself is incredible
Honestly impressed with your dance skills. Keep up the quality content!
I just *LOVE* your expression at 1:08 That look just made me squeal especially since you captured that look PERFECTLY!
You deserve so much more credit for how much effort you put into everything you do!
This is excellent!
OH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
YOU GO MY DANCING QUEEN!

Like you can see the moments in his down towards like he snaps for a second and then tries to revert back and if you look at how he’s like in the story that’s basically how he is
Anyone notice that Akechi's face in the beginning was calm and at the middle his face looks more psychotic.
Amazing, I was smiling the entire vid.
It's finally here! The effort you put into it shows, you did a really good job!
Absolutely amazing! Great job Crystahl!
PERFECTION!!!!! You are seriously skilled, Crystal. Not only learning all these dances, but doing the facial expressions. Bravo!!!
I honestly couldn't tell who was Crystal and who was Akechi, it was PERFECT!
supposed to be in class but if it’s for my two favorite ppl i don’t mind
I just love that you're putting all of your heart to express every single emotion of a character. Keep it up, I'm looking up for some more!
Easily one of the most creative videos I’ve ever seen. Great video!
I love this channel cause' you can really sense the feelings she is getting for everything
Yes, this is beautiful.
Bro your facial expressions match with Akechi’s feelings way too much, good Job :D
The movements are just so sharp and precise and just BEAUTIFUL!! Also gotta love all those facial expressions :D
Nobody:
The costume store manager: Alright. Who let the girl take the costumes.
I don't usually enjoy dance covers that much but this was highly astonishing, very nice!
Such good moves! And the emotion you put into it is astonishing!
Seeing this made my day. You did amazing Crystal!!!!!
Oh my god!!!! This looks like a really complicated dance to learn, but you *KILLED IT* !!!
Imagine living in Canada, then seeing a girl dance like crazy while also being dressed as a boy.
The dance really spot on. Keep it coming crys
The euphoric smile of pure bliss on Crystaahhl's face. She was having so much freaking fun with that!
Akechi's dance step suits his personality pretty well. Nc dance btw you go girl
You forgot the part where you shoot joker in the head
Ahh yes the most important part
outta pocket for that
My third time watching in a row and I'm truly amazed by the fact it took you 20 minutes to record after you've spent 4/5 hours to learn the dance. You've completely nailed it!!
Now this. This is epic. Great job on this! Loved it.
Great moves!
At first I was going “This isn’t the Akechi I know, he’s smiling!” Then my batshit crazy pancake revealed his true form ❤️
Pancakeeeeeeeeeeee
You know im just waiting for that yosuke P4 dance. Dopest dance in the whole franchise
I clicked this expecting something comedical, but was blown away and impressed. Great job and you've earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep it up.
I love the energy omg!!
I have to admit, I know very little about dance but this got me feeling all kinds of things. You really did this one justice!
...I'll see myself out. But it really was a great interpretation. It's clear you were having fun with it!
Look'in cool Crystahl
KING CRAZY! OMG, such dedication, devotion for the character must be exalted. Congrats, that was perfect.
