Joker: Let's finish th- Joker: Wtf Akechi: Who said it was a *fight* fight? This is a dance battle. Joker: ... Joker: I'm about to show you why they call me the trickster.
hinarah59 it's just atlus reminding us since they can't even let us have this dlc dancing game without bringing back feels *cries in the emo corner for pancakes* YOU WERE AN EVIL ADS BUT I STILL LOVE YOU AS A CHARACTER
This is actually really cool. During his dance with Joker, you can see them tugging the air around each other's arms, yanking each other around. As of they were trying to pull their strings...
I dont know if anyone noticed, but Akechi's dance seems to mimic that of a puppet. Initially, from 0:07-0:17 he's a lonely child with no direction (as seen with his listless expression). Then, he puts on a playful confident mask at 0:18 as the famous ace detective. At the beginning, Akechi's moves were free and playful (probably his true self if he was surrounded by good people), but then at 0:59 and 1:10 his psychotic side starts to slip out (as he goes down the path of madness). Then at 1:19, he breaks down and then is pulled back up as if he's a puppet on strings (Shido's puppet). As a puppet, you can see as if the puppeteer adjusts his head at 1:28. From 2:16-2:17, it reminds me of Akechi telling Ren not to save him and Ren's expression looks disappointed and frustrated. Then from 2:18-2:46 it seems like Akechi is trying so hard to break free from the puppet strings. But, he is only able to break free at death at 2:45 as a lifeless puppet.
@@DougieDarko It's nice to know there's another person that also noticed this! Akechi's character is very interesting, I hope that Persona 5 Royal will dig deeper into his psyche, both into the white, black, and grey areas of his character 😄
The thumbnail looks like Akechi is yelling at Joker because he forgot to get eggs at the store for the 3rd week in a row and Joker is seriously contemplating homicide.
I hate how you can see Joker was trying to reach out but Akechi pushed him away. This whole dance is a portrayal of Akechi going down in a pit with how progressively chaotic his dance moves got :")
The expression plays really well in this dance. It starts with him being positive, and later on it keeps switching back and forth between his negative and positive side, and it ends with him being uncertain.
Liam Evans True, something interesting about Shido's palace (I don't know if this is a bug or if it was intentional, if it was...then hoo boy) is that after you beat akechi, he dies. But if you fail to change shido's heart because of the deadline, the cops will show up in Lablanc along with Akechi, even after he "died".
SuperIceCreamMan GamingChannel nah he deserves to die for everything hes done, we already got a past villain come back in persona 4 and the things hes done is not even close to akechi and yet a better villain, he didnt die but he came back. The devs probably didnt think about you actually failing after that boss fight
@@liamevans6440 This comment is very very late but I don't think he deserved to die.. I mean no one in that game deserved to die. Especially Goro he just deserved Jail time and a therapist.
I'm pretty sure like Yu and Adachi, and Shinjiro and Ken, Akechi and Ren's fever dance represents their relationship. Also I love how Makoto kept trying to attack Akechi and he just dodges like "haha fuck you, i'm best girl now"
This is the most heartbreaking dance ever. Like seriously Atlus, WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU??? MY HEART IS IN PIECES. The fact that Akechi only dances as his true self with Ren shows that he was only comfortable with him. He only showed his true self with Ren and it's canon that Akechi only cares about Ren as shown in the 3rd semester of P5Royal. He literally doesn't care about anyone else other than Ren. He even admitted that he wished they had met sooner.
He also tries rlly hard when dancing with ren he even messes up and throws a tantrum when rens back is turned basically referencing when he said "your just trash living in an attic, what do u have that i don't" or something like that
In the end, division occurs... And the world was still untamed. "But...but how...I am the strongest in the world...Even if Nabana tells you otherwi- How do I...know that name...? Who...was I...?"
The thumbnail made me think Joker was ready to dance and pulled Akechi on the dance floor with him. I thought Akechi looked more surprised than angry 😂
Should I be mentally scarred seeing his smile in here? Like fr, Akechi's smile is like way past his psychotic nature. Its like he smile but then stab you with that same smile.

I wish I could like this comment twice.
Akira/Ren/Mirai: hold my soda, I’m doing it too!
They also revived cat morgana just to make him dance
there was his trailer in p5r
he's alive
and morgana alive 2
Meanwhile, cognition Akechi is watching and wondering wtf is going on.
This is the loser off of whom I'm based?!?
You fool. That is cognition Akechi
This is the alternative reality where instead of fighting, Akechi challenged the Phantom Thieves to a Dance Off
Freeman The Delphox yes
I need to see that in an animation
well cognitive akechi was dancing with makoto sooo...
Video starts: dance seems pretty normal....
1 minute later: “That bastard, he made himself go psychotic!”
CamoJomei 1:26
Kuro Sachi Kaosu It was a general reference of the whole minute after....
But yes you are correct
Would be cool if he turned into his black suit during that scene
Would be awesome, but the dance i believe was made with his normal outfit in mind. Shame this is his only outing.
Now Akechi can dance his depression away
*And dies when the dream is over*
*BUT THEN YOU REMEMBER THAT AS LONG AS YOU DANCE THE BALL NEVER ENDS*
😌
Crow: “I will kill you...destroy you! CRUSH YOU!”
...
but first...!”
LMAOOOOO
What an icon
I sentence you....to dance
Joker: "Alrighty then."
I MUST DANCE
The only dance partner for Akechi is Joker. If only he met him sooner, this could’ve been reality
KATintheBLACK for a few seconds there they looked like they didnt try to kill eachother a few moments ago
I've seen a video with akechi and futaba
@@ifthesewallscouldtalktheyp7692 so he took his sister in-law kinda?
**Laughs in P5R**
this dance but during the shido boss fight.
Joker: Let's finish th-
Joker: Wtf
Akechi: Who said it was a *fight* fight? This is a dance battle.
Joker: ...
Joker: I'm about to show you why they call me the trickster.
if Akechi challenged them to a dance battle the MC would've probably accepted the challenge and started dancing
Creep
Absolutely
@@Kaiser27605 hes gonna have to bust out the conveyer belt floor
Isn’t the trickster the one one who tricked the other on making a dance battle? XD
Then you realize both of them are tricksters
Literally dancing on his own grave
Maxxcell Higdon yep.
OH MY GOD. I DIDN'T NOTICE HE WAS THERE OHMYGODNDOSBDJBSJFBSJ
elixns_ deep breaths calm down I’m concerned for your health relax
Maxxcell Higdon Then ther s that coffin meme
Ya know... YOU’RE RIGHT BUT YA DIDN’T HAVE TO SAY IT
what did akechi do while waiting for the phantom thieves to arrive?
this
Then Joker arrived being like,"BET"
Super GamerXL then they had a dance off 🤠
That moment when you realize halfway through, his moves become more puppet like...
This was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
It's the story, in interpretive dance.
Yeah, I noticed that, too! The symbolism hurts :'(
Oh my gosh! I am sad for him even more! T~T I love my pancake boi
Shut up that hurts so much D:
Uh they don't
Smh, Makoto.
Stand aside, you're in a Pancakes spotlight.
*reported*
Shes just trynna put him in his place by smacking him around
Makoto worst girl
@Gary Rochester weird way to spell igor
You're in the way! GET OUT OF HERE, SIDE CHARACTER!
The thumbnail reminds me of that one picture where a dog barked at the other dog while the other one was like 'wtf is wrong with you'
Is that not what's happening?
And the thought is not gonna leave my cognition thank you very much 😂😂😂
XD
Joker: *Attempts to grab hand*
Akechi: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Joker's offended face afterwards too is just-
wait timestamp?
@@nazhifatruly9694 It's right at the end of their dance, like around 2:13 I think
@@wumbe3520 OHH i didnt notice that LMAO
Little did they know it’s akechi telling joker to run and leave him
That dead stare at the end tho...
hinarah59 it's just atlus reminding us since they can't even let us have this dlc dancing game without bringing back feels
*cries in the emo corner for pancakes* YOU WERE AN EVIL ADS BUT I STILL LOVE YOU AS A CHARACTER
His ending quote was “with the power of pancakes I’m unstoppable” also the reason he went psychotic was cause the pancakes were sold out
That, or they were gluten-free lol
Brian Cahill yes
Makoto was actually trying to fight him lmao
DniweTamp then we got pancakes over there just gracefully dodging her while just smirking at the utter pitifulness that is her trying to fight him
Ren*
his name is Ren Amamiya in this game
It’s Akira or Ren.
@@catalyst539 agreed. People should be able to call the protag whatever they want
@@jamstuff1423they can. They’ll be wrong but they can lol
0:17 that was so goddamn fabulous
One of my favorite parts of his choreography
don't misuse Father God's beautiful name
@@fisheywashington1879 Big J's a homie dude chill he'll like it
hahaha pancake joke
im so funny
Lol
Hahaha im laughing like a normal person
shut the fuck up

Funny

Nah bro they just trying to bring akechi I mena save akechi
This is not Will Power, this is Pancake Power
Yes ?

jesus how did they manage to put this much detail into this one dance
You hit the nail on the head with why this is my favorite dance in the whole game. They perfectly described his character in a single 2 minute dance.
@@DougieDarko It's nice to know there's another person that also noticed this! Akechi's character is very interesting, I hope that Persona 5 Royal will dig deeper into his psyche, both into the white, black, and grey areas of his character 😄
2:45 moreso reminds me of his Loki version Pose
I fucking love atlus for putting this man's story into a dance
On his grave
Everyone's talking about pancakes, but I'm over here impressed by the 60fps I'm getting on my phone.
The thumbnail looks like Akechi is yelling at Joker because he forgot to get eggs at the store for the 3rd week in a row and Joker is seriously contemplating homicide.
😂😂😂😂
Finding out that Goros mocap is female somehow explains why i go 'wow he has nice hips for sone reason' /laugh
I was thinking that too
I KNEW IT
it also explains why some of his moves look kinda femenine lmao
Oh that actually helps me dysphoria a bit thanks
Shido's cognitive akechi after killing the real akechi :
Persona 5 Royal Akechi ultimately being alive (secret cutscene after the credits):
@@jamstuff1423 true or fake ending
@@Myranmia83 true
What is with the Persona villians and their powers of *INTERPRETIVE DANCE*
I hate how you can see Joker was trying to reach out but Akechi pushed him away. This whole dance is a portrayal of Akechi going down in a pit with how progressively chaotic his dance moves got :")
Imagine this replacing the fight, joker agrees to fight solo and the rest of the phantom thieves watching are just seeing them dance
Joker would totally suggest this XD The rest of the Phantom Thieves just stand there, watching on dumbfounded.
They be like: wtf is happening
Joker and Crow dance off.
& Queen
The expression plays really well in this dance.
It starts with him being positive, and later on it keeps switching back and forth between his negative and positive side, and it ends with him being uncertain.
*leads to him being dead
Someone needs to put “you’re nothing without me” over this
Robbie Daymond’s version.
It’s the wrong tempo haha needs to be around 143BPM to work. That said Time To Make History from Persona 4 fits pretty well and that’s a 95BPM
1:11 money shot
Also his ending quote at the Victory screen is so crazy, haha.
Secret Scarlet what did he say?
Basically showed himself off, how superior he was, etc
I love how when joker comes in the dance looks more like a fight
I wouldn't be surprised akechi likes death metal
They had a dance fight not an actual fight play the actual game guys
Minato🤝Akechi
Revived only to bust some sick ass moves
Quality thumbnail where goro is scared of something that does not involve killing himself
I think that characters like Akechi or Morgana, you can actually see their facial expressions when they dance, which is pretty great!
The thumbnail is very....Um....something. XD
Akechi looks like a rabid dog barking at Ren/Akira and he looks at him like "AKECHI I'M SICK OF YOUR SHIT"
I love his EVILL faces XDD
The way his look changed at 1:11 god damn pancake boi u scaring me
I like that, during fever time with a dance partner, it's basically dancing and fighting combined.
There still could be a chance that Akechi is still alive after P5. I hope.
SuperIceCreamMan GamingChannel Yeah. He deserves to die but his ending was anti- climatic.
Liam Evans True, something interesting about Shido's palace (I don't know if this is a bug or if it was intentional, if it was...then hoo boy) is that after you beat akechi, he dies.

Well he did die off screen. There's no telling which of them shot first
@@liamevans6440 This comment is very very late but I don't think he deserved to die.. I mean no one in that game deserved to die. Especially Goro he just deserved Jail time and a therapist.
Watching the cute smiles turn to crazed smirks was oddly satisfying
It’s like “aAHH THERE HE IS THERE’S THE BOIII”
can we talk about akechis scream after king crazy lmao
I'm pretty sure like Yu and Adachi, and Shinjiro and Ken, Akechi and Ren's fever dance represents their relationship.
Also I love how Makoto kept trying to attack Akechi and he just dodges like "haha fuck you, i'm best girl now"
I find it interesting that with Makoto he starts the fever time back in his "prince" persona dancing
Damn, Akechi is actually a REALLY good dancer!
Dude ngl akechi dancing is kinda hot. But akechi and joker dancing is even hotter, step outta the way makoto
Lol
The Snitch can dance but it didn't save his life. Good.
Michael Von Patrick IV not even then because Akechi did that to Joker and he didn't die
I'm sorry but he *can't* dance
If you mute this audio it goes perfectly with Time To Make History from P4 Dancing All Night pretty perfectly lol. Will upload once edited
The power of Pancakes🥞
Makoto: Akira, he's a murderer
Akira: but
Makoto: He would have murdered YOU.
Akira: but 0:54
Can I say that the transition from his expressive, "I'm going feral" face to his blank face is kinda startling and creepy in a way
I love how extra this boi is
you can't disrespect the dead if the very dead person is dancing on the place they died.
The thumbnail gave me unholy thoughts
Like what?
the thumbnail looks like theyre having a divorce
LMFAO
The man really goes into psycho-ragdoll-puppet mode halfway through a dance
0/10 there was no pancake costume
Akechi: I will kill you, destroy you, crush you! Teammates are nothing but trash!
Joker: are you sure about that?
I see soo many places where just editing in a pancake png would be amazing lol
This is the most heartbreaking dance ever. Like seriously Atlus, WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU??? MY HEART IS IN PIECES.
The fact that Akechi only dances as his true self with Ren shows that he was only comfortable with him. He only showed his true self with Ren and it's canon that Akechi only cares about Ren as shown in the 3rd semester of P5Royal. He literally doesn't care about anyone else other than Ren. He even admitted that he wished they had met sooner.
I always found him more interesting than the other characters
He also tries rlly hard when dancing with ren he even messes up and throws a tantrum when rens back is turned basically referencing when he said "your just trash living in an attic, what do u have that i don't" or something like that
I love Akechi's twisted faces.
2:15 "Are we gonna kiss? Nope!"
I like to think this is the canonical way joker and akechi Duke it out in shido's palace
Someone's been taking dance lessons from Kaito with all those high kicks. Very interesting.
Akira: *appears and dances with Goro*
Me: hoo boy i can hear the shippers now
"Yeah, you kill 'em- I mean, do your best out there!"
Did anyone notice that both Akechi and Adachi have both some moves where they look like puppets?
Joker in the thumbnail is looking like a father that is looking at his son like he did something bad
When the door shuts and suddenly the phantom thieves care about you
I still can’t believe that him saying Pancakes would cause his demise 😭😭
This is akechi waiting for the gang finish collecting the last commendation
The true fight in the engine room
He shows both sides of himself,a smart detective then a crazy murdirrer,in his dance.
If you want to see this go to 2:50
he's so cute i also love his expressions
this video lives in my head rent free
This is how it really went down.
i shuld not be getting emo but the fact when they pull away from each other in the dance they both go on opposite sides of the gate hit different
Fun fact: Akechi's mocap dancer also danced for Mitsuru and Naoto
In the end, division occurs...
And the world was still untamed.
"But...but how...I am the strongest in the world...Even if Nabana tells you otherwi- How do I...know that name...? Who...was I...?"
He's rocking it huh?
Nobody:
Akechi Waiting for them to reach this point:
Akechi looks so calm and less psycho
* Shido steps in*
“Do not mistake me for my son who acted so brashly!”
The thumbnail made me think Joker was ready to dance and pulled Akechi on the dance floor with him. I thought Akechi looked more surprised than angry 😂
0:33 *D A B*
Kill me.
Edit:I just noticed that he dabs on other parts...
That’s not a dab.
Goro knows it’s dead.
The funny thing is that the dance is harder than the fight
Should I be mentally scarred seeing his smile in here?
Like fr, Akechi's smile is like way past his psychotic nature. Its like he smile but then stab you with that same smile.
His dancing further fuels the yaoi fangirls
*coughcoughcough*
Awesome
Why does the thumbnail look like Akechi look like he is scolding at Joker.
Man that Akechi's dance
Awesome
All them damn spins and kicks, they should be on dancing with the stars 😂😂 Edit: Dancing with Atlus*
I know how the save akechi....
You let him kill you..
So this is the alternate showtime attack with Akechi and Ren
He came back to life.
What a suprise.
When shadow akechi misses his shot and and akechi lives and default dances in victory
1:26
Send this to a friend to jump scare them
Ren: shut up and take my money
