    See, the thing is, everyone questions why Makoto is pressing heavy on questions. It's because she can't just dance around the subjects, because it would come across as too suspicious. She's pressing so hard in order to keep things a bit more under wraps to the rest of the people in auditorium.

    • @kana22693

      Right, by doing that she could also pretend to be dumbfounded if he accused her of being a PT and based on Makoto's spotless reputation the public opinion would be split down the middle.

      Makoto being the smartest in the group, she had probably realized at this point that Akechi was already aware of their identities. Beating around the bush would've been a waste of time for both of them. By pressing him with question she pushed him into putting his cards on the table as well. Also, remember that they were already suspicious of him due to the pancakes episode.

      @@CidGuerreiro1234 It was Morgana who first was suspicious of Akechi. after everyone left the faculty room after the scene Morgana then told Joker if he caught his slip up too. He also advised Futaba to create a bug on his phone to truly confirm it. However, it was Makoto who created the plan to trap Akechi and save Joker.

      Dude, I KNOW. Scenes like this, two smart people duking it out with words, not quite sure what the other knows, or what they know each other to know, always a double entendre in every question. GOD it's so engrossing. If the Persona 5 anime was done right, this scene would have been met with the protagonist and Ryuji standing on the side, Ryuji getting mad, while the protag just starts wheezing, before moving rooms to nearly pass out from the pressure in the room, barely able to moan out "Igor, take the wheel... I feel like my guts have improved."

    Makoto was super awesome in this scene. She did a great job fishing for infos and pressuring Akechi without raising any suspicion. She just asked, what the general public would want to know and didn't let him off the hook. That's doing her job as a moderator, while getting intel for the Phantom Thieves. She also didn't lose her cool, even when things turned to the worst.
    He just knew already, but that's not her fault. She was not outsmarted here.

      she was very much outsmarted here, she literally says “did you set this up?” This was going to be a way for Phantom Thieves to gain more intel (and they did by finding out who the traitor was) but that wasn’t tinfoil after Akechi set up the deal for Sae’s Palace as he lead them on to try to kill joker. it wasn’t until they had the discussion in the faculty office is when Akechi drove himself to the wall because that’s when Morgana figured out his deductions were correct and informed everyone about it later.

      Huh? Kamoshida was probably the PE teacher to all the students at Shujin, Kanoshiro's gang was targeting dozens of students from Shujin so the only odd one would be Madarame's case since Yusuke started hanging out with kids from Shujin but that's very hard to discover unless Yusuke's already your main suspect. Also why would you assume that students are the Phantom Thieves in the first place? My main suspects would be Shiho's parents, either they started pursuing vigilante justice or hired some yakuza thugs to blackmail Kamoshida.

      Quite frankly it's weird and mostly made by plot convenience that other people *didn't* figure out their identities. Like you guys said, all the people connected to the changes of hearts (especially the new student) hanging out together should've been extremely suspicious to everyone. Everyone knew about Kamoshida's abuses for years, and then a month after the transfer student shows up, this happens? Huh.

    What Akechi did here was really smart in getting the PT attention. Because if Makoto had dropped her questioning then that would be suspicious as she’s been investigating individuals within the school. But by challenging him to drop the names of PT members by setting up the chance to MEET the PTs he now has a massive advantage in negotiations.
