Robbie is an amazing voice actor, the difference between Prince Akechi and Blask Mask Akechi are clear as day. Even though the pitch and tone are exactly the same, it makes you question if they're the same voice at all. That's quality.
Robbie Daymund played a straight-up hero as Lloyd Bannings in the Trails series, and then a psycho pretending to be a straight-up hero in Persona 5, and then a psycho with principles in Persona 5 Royal. That guy has range!
Fun fact: Look closely and Prince Akechi uses his right hand to summon his persona. Black Mask Akechi uses his left hand as that is his dominant hand. Just like in the pool game confidant interaction, Akechi uses his less preferred hand and hides his true skills or "powers" in this case.
By far my personal favorite of the Third-Tier Personas. Plus, Robby Daymond’s delivery of *Hereward* and *Kill them, Hereward* is downright terrifying.
I appreciate how Atlus made Akechi both lovable to hate, and more of an anti-hero in both Vanilla Persona 5 and Royal! Robbie's great as Akechi and his other roles in anime, & video games as well!
@@jj_grabes yes,i have used some mods in the ps3 version,if you "awake" akechi's persona he will use loki,and i just remember he saying "Loki" and "Arise, Loki"
I feel like you can hear a restraint almost in prince Akechi's lines, like he's holding himself back from sounding as wild as he does as the black mask, or maybe I'm just imagining things again, either way I donno his VA's name but I think he did a good job :)
He was making really good points but in the end they were never really addressed. The Phantom Thieves WERE brainwashing and manipulating people, it's just that everyone one of them turned to be the worst scum so it's very easy to justify, specially once it all connects.
I think something many people do not understand of Akechi, is that both Robin Hood and Loki are his "true" selves. The Persona is ALWAYS the true self, but the nuance here is that one can have many personalities while being completely honest in wearing them. The Ace Detective Akechi, hero of justice and rightfulness, IS Akechi. As a child, he used those ideas of the "hero of justice" as an escape from the conditions he lived in. He truly aspires to be that, or at least to be perceived as such, but he knows he's too far away from that path to ever truly be so. And yet, he acts, talks, and lives like the Ace Detective he's supposed to be. Throughout most of his daily life, he chooses to ignore all the crimes he has committed, to pretend they never happened, so to truly live the life of the Hero of Justice he secretly wants to be. Loki Akechi is the most adult Akechi here. Profoundly selfish and cinical, he unknowns the values he'd otherwise dream of, and endulges in his crimes. Since before obtaining the power of Persona, he had already discarded the ideal of Justice for a naive construct; as a child forced to "grow up" too fast, Akechi had no other way but to embrace the injustice of the world as his own. If there's no other way, then its better to enjoy it. And yet, when he finally succeeded on his first deals with Shido and saw himself rise to fame and glory and wealth, there he saw the chance to relive that childish fantasy of the hero of justice. He could have been anything, but he chose to be that. Its a lie, but one that he himself likes to believe. A comforting story that no one (except some distasteful witnesses) knows to be false. After completing his revenge on Shido, that lie would be Akechi's future. There wouldn't be any use for Loki then, but Robin Hood, te public wonderful persona, would perdure. A beautiful identity no one, not even him, would care to disproof.
I like to think that these are both facets of his true self, just each pushed to the extreme on either end (bipolar much), while his REAL true self is right in the middle, hence his tier 3 persona.
Both are akechi, he says in 3rd semester he's his true self, and while it's true that self it allot closer to his true self than his detective Prince act he still isn't his 'true self' he's just allot more vulnerable in 3rd semester, he's still defensive and hides his feeling tho. I rlly wish we get to see him as his true self in a equel some day cause he's an amazing character and deserves to one day be who he rlly is without being afrade to show it!! 😭😭
@@abimorris1970 Più che altro perché il finale é finito con la sua ricomparsa e i ladri fantasma e Sae non lo sanno , per far sì che Atlus faccia il Sequel ci vorrebbero molti fan che lo chiedano come noi, però i fan devono essere in massa😥
@@angy-x7 Persona 5 Strikers dovrebbe essere un seguito, mi piace ma non fa riferimento a nulla di P5R, il che mi dà fastidio perché mi piacerebbe avere un gioco che parli apertamente degli eventi dei giochi precedenti ma ogni spin off del P5 evita deliberatamente di farlo.
something interesting i’ve found as well is that prince akechi calls loki out as well when you have loki as his persona instead of the usual robin hood, kinda intriguing that he has that
None of them are fine. They just know Akechi is the only other person willing to stop the false world (and as chasers-down of truth and of inspiring people to not settle, they welcome this)
It's weird how I really hated Akechi from the start until he reveals his black mask. Since 3rd semester that I got him as a party member idk why I started to like him 🥺 Oh boy, maybe I felt like that cuz I could sense something fake within him in his false persona form/detective Akechi form and it makes me annoying. His true self may be brutal but since it's his real heart, I gradually grow to like him so much. Ya know it's because nobody loves anything that made to be perfect but nothing less than a mask. Your true nature may have flaws and other unique features that few people could take a liking but if somebody accept that side of you, they're genuinely like you.
The fact that the game was able to pull a complete 360 with my opinion on Akechi is impressive. I couldn't stand his self-righteous attitude that he carries for 3/4 of the game. Then he betrays you, and I hated him even more. But when he unleashed Loki and just became a full-on psychopath, he became one of my favorite partners. I just liked that he stopped hiding that he was a POS and just embraced it. No more hollow complexity or the game trying to make you feel bad for him. He knows he's killer with a body count in the dozens and I'm so for it.

Noticed some comments about Hereward so here’s Akechi with Hereward Dialogue: th-cam.com/video/-pzd70liGX8/w-d-xo.html
Everyone: persona , *name of persona*
Akechi: *AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH*
I love Persona 5 Royal, but is it the best Persona game? 🤦🏽♂️

Why put it on my comment
@@InFmouseGmer-wk8in Was curious to see what you thought
Ok well p5r was my first so I have no reason to say it’s the best if I haven’t played any other persona games

Isn't it kinda obvious that its the same va?

It’s a shame you literally only get Hereward for the final boss, because he’s really cool

@X4TERUMI He killed enough people to make it a pattern. Dude is not alright in the head.
A lot of people don't know that, but False Self Akechi actually has voices for loki if you hack the game.
What does he say?
@@aaricbro. I think he has likes that are more befitting of his Prince persona (I.e. Arise, Loki!)
@@jj_grabes might of been planned for him to use loki in sae's palace
@@jj_grabes no if u read The manga or the anime he aciedntly says loki when he first summons robin hood

At the first time i loved akechi, he was a gentleman, he was cute, he was awesome
I know, I liked how he respectfully disagreed with my opinion about the Phantom Thieves.
He was making really good points but in the end they were never really addressed. The Phantom Thieves WERE brainwashing and manipulating people, it's just that everyone one of them turned to be the worst scum so it's very easy to justify, specially once it all connects.
Goro: My persona name? Oh.
*"LO----BINHOOD! Yea. Robinhood is my persona's name."*
I really love how the psycho akechi scream PERSONAAAA and Manifest
MAKE A DECISION
1:46:
KASUMIRE IS SMOKING GOLDEN WEED! 🍁 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
That’s her little ribbon
You notice that sometimes Akechi let's one or two things slip
He sounds like Link every time he uses an attack, especially 0:45
Hahahah true that, he sounds like adult link from OoT

Honestly I love psychotic characters for God knows what reason but Loki aketchi is my favorite
Nothing beats Loki in that fucking boss battle. Especially then you come to this damned second phase for the first time
I like to think that these are both facets of his true self, just each pushed to the extreme on either end (bipolar much), while his REAL true self is right in the middle, hence his tier 3 persona.
"To me, Loki!" and his taunt line from his Princekechi, "Nothing but trash." are my absolute favorites.
The Virgin litteraly any other way of summoning your Persona.

“Whats the hold up”
"Make. A. Decision."

there are a lot of hints in prince detective akechi's dialogue ngl

LOOOOOOOOOKIIIII!
I thought it was fear my power not feel my power for the black mask form
hearing him scream PERSONAA always makes me laugh
Luv how psychotic he is.truly
something interesting i’ve found as well is that prince akechi calls loki out as well when you have loki as his persona instead of the usual robin hood, kinda intriguing that he has that
I love this man so much
How are futaba and haru just fine with working with the guy who killed their parents? She hi fives him, while he evil laughs and that's just ok???
Its more of a temporary truce and in the Thieves Den, Haru and Futaba can't play cards with Akechi.
None of them are fine. They just know Akechi is the only other person willing to stop the false world (and as chasers-down of truth and of inspiring people to not settle, they welcome this)
love his lines
Joker: I hope this doesn't awaken something in me.
Crow: *I'll break them*
Joker: **sweats loudly**
I don't know why but I think true acheki is funnier and more interesting.
How you doing so much damage 😳😳😳
Ok, i got a little spoiler from P5R XDnt, i dunno you can use akechi after his death
just play
have you played p5 before?
@@eyeb4g p5 vanilla, i just start the p5 royal
@@angelxgdl oh have fun then, actually the akechi gameplay was showed on trailers so I wouldn't call it "spoiler"
@@angelxgdl just turn off every social media where you check persona content, got spoiled 3rd semester for some stupid jp video lol
Btw for aketchi true form he actually says Fear my power,not feel my power there was a vid about all his dialogue.
I thought he was saying *FEAR MY POWER* rather than Feel my power.
Yea hes cool and all but
His crit rate bad afs 💀
0:05
The subtitles you added seemed unnecessarily big in my opinion, still a good video nonetheless.
On mobile they look great
But considering his true self is a manifestation of Maruki’s power, is it his true self, or what joker perceives as his true self?
It's weird how I really hated Akechi from the start until he reveals his black mask. Since 3rd semester that I got him as a party member idk why I started to like him 🥺 Oh boy, maybe I felt like that cuz I could sense something fake within him in his false persona form/detective Akechi form and it makes me annoying.

This is fine but Japanese voice is God
