I love when you get to the cafe and he’s like “you’re home awfully late” and it’s like, first of all when did I marry you, second of all, I want you to greet me like this for the rest of my life.
The "Honey, I'm home" option you can pick is singlehandedly the best dialogue option in the game because of this. You can canonically call him out on how he's treating you like you're his spouse.
Akechi: *Has a full on breakdown and laughs like a maniac.* Morgana: He can use two different powers?! Akechi: ಠ‿ಠ Bitch, did you not see me engulf myself in shadows and scream just now-
I just love how the persona fanbase has two separate opinion on Akechi: he's either the best character; or he's the worst character and to top it off both of these opinions have the same arguments
@@itisnotVioletatall thank everything you kind of people exist, although I am glad people like his character now, still kinda annoys me that he would've been literally the same character if he didn't meet his fate, he was originally gonna be in vinallia persona 5 after what happened but scrapped, but I am sure if it wasn't, everyone and their grandma would be simping over him then too
I guess the PT were “tired” after beating 5 mini boss fights AND beating Akechi so they couldn’t handle 5-6 shadows who could have 3-4 demons each. That’s just my head cannon trying to make sense of that scene
@@sergiosalazar8702 I think the game makes it clear enough Akechi says something along the lines of "you'd surely parish if you fought them with me weighing you down" The animes version of that scene was pretty bad for a few reasons imo
His death was so preventable...I think that's why I hated it so much. It just felt like Atlus was like "we don't know what to do with his character so let's kill him off"
well because as a fictional character he's hilarious and intriguing and interesting. If he were a real person anyone with an ounce of self respect would just think of him as a dick at best
He puts up walls and believes that people won't want him around anymore if they see past his facade of perfection, due to childhood trauma of being unwanted and shunted from foster home to foster home. Joker is the first person he's comfortable letting his guard down around. There is a certain self-loathing at play - He believes no one could like him for who he is, only the mask.
I like to imagine their rivalry is entirely one-sided. Joker doesn't really care that Akechi hates him, he just likes fucking with the guy and thinks the psycho schtick is funny. During the entire Royal semester all of the PTs are like "hey Joker, this dude is freaking us out" to which he responds "lol let him cook"
his transition from full-on unhinged homicidal maniac to still unhinged but cooperative teammate is amazing. yeah he is a bit hard-hearted but can you blame him, taking his backstory in account? his quips and verbal jabs at everyone make him all the more entertaining. i can see why he is well-liked by the fans 🤠
i would have never seen a video like this during p5 vanilla years..... this video gives me so much serotonin you have NO idea. and the editing is so funny too,, amazing work lol
I usually simp for the insane/ edgy characters, so when I wanted to pick my husbando in p5r, I liked Akechi. I was confused why he wasn’t insane, but I wrong. I was very happy tho lmao.
My favorite thing about Akechi in P5 is that all your teammates see him on TV and say things such as "Pfft. What a scumbag. Thinks he knows everything" and at the same time, we are meeting with him to discuss serious business and dressing him up
4:12 ok but nitpick, one shadow on the field is between 1 and 5 demons in a fight, so the actual number of enemies could be anywhere between 6 and *30* not counting cognitive akechi, and that's assuming the enemy wave isn't meant to be understood as larger than the hardware can actually show, plus he and you just got done beating the shit out of each other which is likely to really wind you and your team if you don't have endgame-tier personas, thank you for coming to my tedtalk
I mean, the gang has run away from that kind of fight before. I guess cognitive Akechi kinda messes with that but, like, its one man with a gun versus, like, 8 people who also have guns and it wouldn't be hard to get him monologuing and shooting him while he's distracted. While Akechi is winded, the gang likely has supplies on hand or healing spells, especially if only 4 of them were actually fighting
OMFG this video made my day. the i get sweaty,,,him firlting and proceeding to blackmail you in the span of two days,,,the music in his BM awakening,,,,the whole third sem section GOD i love this guy.Thank you for the video ;0;
Lol "We outnumber the enemy. We definitely could have killed them." I feel you here so much. Like, I was salty for WEEKS that he was right there and I wasn't allowed to do anything. I was so happy about the revamped social link and his late game appearance for the extra palace in The Royal.
( I played p5 standard ) I HATED akechi But after his boss fight, I appreciated him... and I honestly was sad that he died... I’m now on madarame on p5r... can’t wait to have him back
1:27 Joker: why do you have your hand on my shoulder? That's gay bro. Akechi: my bad *takes is hand off* Joker: hey, I didn't say that I don't like it, put it back.
So when I replayed this game (currently on my 4th run) I'm currently a little after Maderame's confession. I cackled so much from the word's 'Pleasent Boy' It absolutely killed me
The most amusing part of this video is that it emphasizes the impact of the music for any given line. I can’t take him seriously or see him as scary here. 😂
