• Persona 5 Royal - Joke...
"HOW CAN SUCH A WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH BE MORE SPECIAL THAN ME!?" Akechi-kun asked calmly.
God Damnit I was just rushing to the comments about to make this joke. Well played sir XD
“JOOOOKEEEEERRRR!” Akechi said calmly at the start of his Showtime attack, politely inviting a Joker to dance with the enemy.
"Its killing time again!" Akechi said calmly
@@rigistroni being real here, just saying this calmly is just funny
He is just some criminal trash living in an attic
Akechi: “All I ever wanted was for someone to love me for who I am and no-one ever gave it to me.”
Joker and the Phantom Thieves “But we love you for who you are, Akechi 🤗”
Akechi: “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME I’LL FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU”
- the entire Akechi boss fight, summarized
akechi is simultaneously the funniest and most tragic character in persona 5. babygirl has the range.
"None of these people know that I was an undesirable child."
@@terminianhistorian7185 NO BECAUSE. YOU KNOW THE "nobody here knows ___" MEME? THAT'S LITERALLY THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I HEARD THAT. it's simultaneously such a heartbreaking line but it's unintentionally so funny to me specifically
He's less tragic, more of a giant asshole.
I want to give the poor guy a hug
He killed people.
"OUT OF MY WAYYYYYYYYY!" Akechi said calmly.
The reference is real
Dumbledore?
To be fair, I believe he's making himself psychotic for that instance for that bit.
I mean you can be passionate but resolute. When he means he is calmed he means that he made his choice and has peace of mind doing what ever it is right or wrong. He is not calmed he is harmony, withing his personality and actions. That is his "calmed" in the mist of conflict.
*MOVE I'M GAY!*
akechi: im always calm
akechi when joker has a single minor debuff: WE ALL GONNA DIE
To be fair, when Joker goes down, so does the whole party. Freaking out when Joker is in trouble is valid.
@@hazelgatoya2603 everyone doesn't wanna be rude and dig through his pockets for a revive
Unless youre in safe mode, its okay for the PT's to freak out when joker is at death's door.
Ok but robbie’s performance on that entire mini arc was award winning
it really was. he captures the duality of akechi so well
@@serazaydia and to think he was the voice actor for spiderman
@@_just_comic wait what 😂 when??
@@serazaydia he voiced spiderman in the 2017 animated series
i met the guy at london con about a month ago, did a few akechi lines, he was the chillest guy EVER
"Joker's enraged? I kind of like it but it's not you. CALM DOWN"
Do you ever wonder how many times he's fantasized about driving Joker berserk, out of control? How much he'd want to see Joker lose his seemingly perpetual facade of cool and collected? Just one moment of watching him and seeing anything other than a perfect mask?
Everyone points to this line and goes "wow that's gay" but this is the first thing that come to mind for me.
Oh you're so right. Akira has so much anger inside of him that he keeps under a cool and collected mask but I think Akechi sees beneath that mask and wants Akira to express it. "don't you just wanna go apeshit" yknow?
@@serazaydia It also ties back to the Arsene awakening speech. Release thy rage!
Akechi is probably tied with Yusuke for “most things that come out wrong when they say it”.
@@kathryncampbell4432 at least akechi means it, yuseke say it without tact. Which for both it's being in character of course.
@@alithia2264 I’m pretty sure that’s what Akechi actually meant when he said that. Personally I don’t see any type of flirting in his dialogue about Joker, I feel like he barely tolerates him.
To be fair, he's always calm outside of the Metaverse.
hes ready to snap any second
@@justthatoneperson6156 akechi is a l w a y s c a l m
maybe on the outside :P
@@serazaydia to him, especially in this context, calm is a behaviour, not an emotion.
...which now that i think about it kind of implies that he doesn't really see his feelings as things that actually exist
except for when he suddenly bursts out laughing to himself after tricking sae
"IM GETTING A WARM TINGLY FEELING FROM ALL THIS POWER" honey i think that's just your feelings for joker
The power is gay energy
it's the power of bromance
Every unhinged line either directed towards or about joker is so charged with gay energy, it's astounding
I'll be honest, I liked Akechi even more after his inner-psychopath came out
SAME!!!, I just wish he could he your navigator for longer than one stretch of a certain dungeon.
I like to imagine in a alternate universe we have all party members in ng+ with them having a full learnset so you can have a full party without breaking the game off the bat
I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t just feel neutral about akechi it’s either love or hate and for me it’s love
I will carve my own path.
his inner? He was a textbook psychopath... like literally
Akechi's voice actor is really talented, it's really impressive how he cam go from "pleasent and controlled" to "I love the feeling of blood on my hands!"
Robbie Daymond; he's great!
It's especially jarring after playing Final Fantasy XV before this came out where he is the most precious cinnamon roll. It's quite a flip, but I'm not complaining. Robbie Daymond's great.
Robbie did Hubert in Fire Emblem 3 houses also. If you want an equally insane with a cooler archetype with Akechi's voice too, there ya go
Oh my god I've never heard "heal yourself GENIUS" before I'm actually sobbing from laughing
"You're at death's door"
"P3 Mc: hi'
That killed me lmao
I have to give credit to faz for that 😂
I desperately wish we could just pop over for a chat occasionally. Like just “hi, how is being literal persona Jesus being?”
hi
2:23 God, the delivery on that made me die of laughter
robbie daymond is a treasure
Omg SAME, reminds me of my sister
And then the one after? Babygirl just kiss him already
YOU SHOULD HEAL YOURSELF, NOW!
HEAL YOURSELF GENIUS!
Third semester was supposed to be some philosophical emotional arc but I just couldn’t stop cackling with laughter over Akechi’s lines during battles 😭 it’s just so hilarious than I completely forgot he’s a mass serial killer who needs some deep therapy.
I mean considering the context of Maruki’s arc there is such a thing as *too* deep therapy...
Nah, therapy wouldn't have helped him. The thing about therapy is that for it to work, you have to want to change. Akechi didn't. His only regret is that his plans failed.
@@xxProjectJxxFair, but in THEORY he could want to be better now that his plans are completely gone. It’s kind of hard to judge the person he’d be in 2 years when we’re only seeing him deep into an entire conspiracy that would kill him for going turncoat or when he believes he’s already dead. The whole line about saying if only he’d met the protag/akira earlier does at least imply that if he’d had another choice at some point he may have taken it, so without Shido/the conspiracy around and him not believing himself dead then it’s kind of hard to tell what he’d do lol. At the points we see him he believes he has no future, so what good would considering how he could live a better life be do for him, you know?
@@xxProjectJxx but he definitely could’ve changed. Most fic it fanfics have the rest of the team urging him that it isnt too late for him as a big part of them
@EldritchCupcakes he could have changed, but only if he were an entirely different character lol.
1. To everyone commenting about how horny Akechi is for Joker, Robbie Daymond (Akechi's voice actor) sold sweaters that had their ship name on it. He knew what he was doing.
2. The funniest version of the "Akechi-kun asked calmly" comment has already been made. It's okay. You can comment something different and original, I promise.
THE SHIP NAME? He definitely knew what he was doing. 😂 This is why we love Daymond
Love it when Akechi said “it’s killing time again” and started killing all over the place
Basically the entire third semester, no joke
I love the emphasis he puts in us living in a attic.
i never noticed this before but thats actually so funny 💀
Just like akechi, I too am a perfectionist with abandonment issues that is one inconvenience away from a full blown mental breakdown.
mood
First Adachi, then Akechi, and now you. Are you gonna be the next Persona villain? What's your mental breakdown gonna manifest as? A serial shoplifting spree?
@@soap9277 Dealer's choice. I'm gonna just let nature take its course and steer me towards my breaking point
Aw at least he was still worried about Kasumi
akechi secretly cares about sumi and i will die on this hill
@@serazaydia how much of a secret is it really when every one of the sumi status nav lines are Like That
I have heard the book says that he sees the value of a team member but didnt care for her other then that though i may be wrong
@@helpihavebats6392 Yeah I mean I'm sure that's what he tells himself :P
In all seriousness though Akechi is hardly ever honest with himself and multiple things can be true at once. I think on both a surface level and on a deeper level he doesn't care about her other than as a team member, but it's bc he's shut off his empathy for so long and so convinced that he's dead that he's not thinking about anything except defeating Maruki. And the rest of his trauma prevents him from creating any meaningful connections with others.
But on an even deeper level than that, I do think Akechi has some level of care for Sumire, realizing they're similar people with similar struggles. But he doesn't let that grow beyond an intellectual level. And I'm also sure that Akechi judges her for being "weak" for giving into her suffering when he "didn't" (which ofc he absolutely has given into suffering but in his own way where he defines himself by it, he's so familiar with suffering that the idea of happiness is terrifying, he identifies with his suffering and thinks he can't exist without it to an unhealthy degree. I'm not saying that Akechi should be okay with Maruki's reality--I'm not either. But his aversion to it is on another level. Regardless, this is a whole tangent. Whoops.)
Really, I basically just think that Akechi deep down at the very least has the potential to care about Sumire, and that there are small seeds of that in the game itself, but it's never explored bc of how traumatized and fucked up he is during third sem after losing everything.
Sorry to write a whole meta. Oops.
@@serazaydia No no my dude i love long texts like this. It shows you are really passionate and I respect that even if i dont fully agree. Good reply
Royal unironically made Akechi my new favorite character. They did such a good job of improving his character.
Same omg lol. I thought he was all right in the original and now I'm full Akechi stan.
I’m not sure they really improved it, they finally gave him more focus and development. Some stuff we were told in the vanilla game were added fully in Royal. We can thank the Japanese best character polls for adding more content in that way.
But I agree, I wasn’t into him until Royal.
him in p5 vanilla is truly a waste of potential. im so glad they gave him more screentime in royal
2:44 There is ZERO heterosexual explanation for this Akechi is down tremendously bad
Joker has the (pan)cake
Bit fruity
"Move, I'm gay!"
-Real Akechi quote
Akechi is a violencesexual
No he's just crazy
Incredible voice acting, hot damn
That’s Robbie Daymond for you
“Joker’s enraged?! I kind of like it,” Akechi said Heterosexually
very heterosexually. for sure. 100 percent. no homoeroticism whatsoever here
The way he aggressively screams "NO I AM NOT BRAINWASHED" (2:42) really got me 🤣🤣🤣
I mean he did try to murder everyone else so I could believe him on that one
“Now lets see you drop dead one at a time in front of your precious friends”
-Akechi said Calmly
I mean, to be fair, throughout the game, he is calm. He's just lost his cool because of the bottled resentment and hatred he feels. He's just a damaged guy.
you're not wrong i just found the quote very funny considering the engine room + third sem
@@serazaydia hehe could understand that lmao, he seems ironic at that xD
@@C0pium_ Mind provide me some proof, now I'm curious of your stance.
I think i'm an Akechi Kinnie xd
At this point, I think Akechi is gonna lose not only his sanity but also his humanity.
The calmest character in P5R. no doubt about that
“YOU LITTLE SHIT.” I literally CANT help but laugh whenever he says that during his showtime. It’s fucking hilarious😭
my perception of Daymond has changed from "chill VA" to "damn this is amazing dude"
I know it's not exactly canon but some of my favourite always calm Akechi moments are when he's completely chilling in the dancing game such as when he loses, takes a deep breath, and goes
"You're kidding me, right!? ME, of all people!? FAILING!?"
AND THEN WHEN YOU QUIT THE SWITCH-UP FROM THAT TO "Oh. That's too bad. :("
0:35 DAMMIT every time I see this scene now the akechi powerpoint video flashes through my head and I burst out laughing
"I don't need you to tell me that." Akechi said, calmly.
Gotta say. I can relate to Akechi's insanity. Let's admit it. We all got that one character we wanna tear to shreds.
Sumire
(looks at my brother) yeah
@@Hewasnumber1 f u sumire is best girl
@@electricshield2184 best at being worst, maybe.
@@Hewasnumber1 it's okay to be wrong.
This video is mostly just him and joker having sexual tension
Isn’t that just their time on screen in general
I swear the writer knew exactly what they were doing
Akechi: "Take it all, TAKE IT ALL!"
Sojiro: "CAN YOU TWO PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN UP THERE, THERE ARE CUSTOMERS!"
Joker literally has the response “Honey I’m home” they absolutely knew what they were doing 😂
Honestly they have to have known what they were doing considering that the whole game feels so camp sometimes
He just goes crazy in perfect calmness, everything's fine.
I love how needlessly edgy he is inside the Metaverse
His ugly ass bondage bodysuit has +10 edge, -10 style
"Don't give me that cliché bullshit!" 🤣
He is literally just light yagami
In a bromance with Lelouch (Ren).
now that i think about it...
Light Yagami but meta versé edition
GOD NO DONT RUIN AKECHI LIKE THAT. I HATE LIGHT
@@danalynch118 The first play through of Persona 5 I did my first thought was Light Yagami though I have more empathy for Aketchi than him
I had to laugh hard at the line "Heal yourself, GENIUS!"
1:32 the delivery of you little shits is actually the funniest line ever
He should've had his own palace like for real
**glances at my akechi palace au wip** i couldn't agree more
The thing is, the people who have personas cannot have a palace (I think it’s explained when Yusuke joins the team).
I agree though, I would have wanted to see more of him (especially since I’ve only played the original P5.)
@@helghast_7203 i know i actually have p5 and p5R i realize it was explained but it'd be a amazing "what if" and it very well could've been explained but they'd never go for it sadly
@@helghast_7203 P5R contradicts that rule, actually. Which btw you absolutely should play it though, the new Goro content is immaculate.
In my Palace AU there is a reason Goro can have a Persona and a Palace at the same time. It's not 100% consistent with the lore but I think it works well enough.
Apparently he was supposed to have a Palace in an earlier version of the game, but since his character kind of requires him to have a Persona it makes me wonder how they explained that originally. Maybe the game was so different then he didn't have a Persona yet? But who knows really.
@@elden_lord22 yeah i fully agree
Let me just say akechi is really impressive when you think about it. Remember how morgana got defeated every time he entered a palace alone and how many times joker got saved by a new party member? He took on every palace and mementos alone without a hitch
Oh Robbie Damond must be having sooo much fun with voicing Akechi! LMAO he gets to nuts with his voice lines
50% of the time, he's calm all the time.
Akechi going completely unhinged while Miiverse music plays in the background is something I never needed to hear.
But I'm so glad I did.
Looking back on it, it's absolutely hilarious how Akechi goes from "detective" to "absolute maniac" and back on a dime in Maruki's palace. There are these moments where it seems like he just forgets which pretense he's supposed to be using and act he's putting on so he just does whatever fits the situation. Like 'fighting shadows? time to yell' 'i'm not joker, i'm just gonna stand here and let him talk' 'this is a puzzle and i'm a detective' This is the first time he's ever done nav support for people other than himself and it really shows.
Akechi’s always calm
Crow on the other hand
i really can't take his evil monologue seriously anymore thanks to that one PowerPoint presentation
0:19 LMAO coming from the guy who's inflections in his voice makes it sound like he's about to punch someone in the face, I find this hilarious
Robbie has played 3 detectives in a short span of time. Lloyd Bannings, River Ward, and Akechi. Hearing Akechi's voice out of Lloyd is like if Akechi was never evil.
"i could fix him" ok? i could accept him as he is‼️‼️‼️
Akechi is and always has been my favourite character. I loved him when he was pretending to be soft, I loved him even more once he unleashed his true self.
Royal was such a gift to Akechi fans; we got a whole sector of time with him as the Navigator, and battling with him on the team was just gorgeous.
Honestly, I hoped he'd show in Strikers, since we know he didn't perish in the original P5 either, but...
Maybe he'll arise as a corrupted adult in P6. 👀
Akechi is my favorite character too! I would want a redemption arc for him post-Royal though. It would be very cool to see a more healed Akechi who has grown up and gone to therapy in another game, see what he's made of his new lease on life. But of course I never want him to completely lose his edgier side :P
It would be very cool to see him in P6!!
@@serazaydia you should check out some of the cut content regarding Akechi from the game. There’s stuff I wish made it in.
god like the mementos mission he gives you in third sem. it gives me so much brainrot i will forever be so upset it was cut
It’s almost like he’s putting up a front, a persona, if you will.
I think that's kind of the point of the character in this part of the game; he's a bloodthirst fighter when he engages in combat, yet he's never making brash decisions, always waiting for Joker's orders and never complains about having to do a lot of teamwork
I think that's a misconception many people have about Akechi, that he's always agressive enough to disobey orders and do things on his own when that's not the case. I mean, at the very start of the third semester he's being the rational one when Sumire is making stupid moves for her anxiousness, which just proves my point.
Yet I understand why some people would find it somewhat inconsistent, I kind of do so myself in a way because I believe the excesive brutality of the character was just one of Atlus' ways of keeping him as the "cool badass rival character who can take on anyone", but I guess that's up for interpretation
Oh I agree, Akechi is a strategist and he's a good teammate, but he's also Always angry, just very very good at hiding it. It's only in the Metaverse that he lets all that aggression and anger out.
@@serazaydia With a father like Shido and a shitty life like his, who wouldn't be angry? I get the guy tbh, my man Akechi using shadows as an anger releasing method xD
I love how he still high fives you even tho he’s all “god I hate you so much Joker uwu”
He’s like Azula. Calm, collected, perfect, and hard. Until that one…little… CRACK
I'm sorry, but the delivery of the:
"Persona?
What's that?!
Damn, I can't remember!!"
Is so fucking funny to me. He's so frustrated at himself, lol.
Like, baby, take a look around at all those people yelling PERSONA and what they're doing.
You got this.
"Heal yourself GENIUS" just had me rolling
oh my god im sobbing, 5 minutes of absolutely destroying Akechi Goro... I love it. Poor man has so much to make fun of, like the pancake incident. Also sidenote, whether you ship it or not, there is certainly a lot of, how do I put this, *tension* every time Akechi speaks about Joker. Whether you think 'ah yes, they gay' or 'Joker is everything Akechi has always wanted to be, and he is both devasted that he can't be Joker, and enraged that he wants to be anything like Joker' they certainly have enjoyable chemistry, and Akechi makes me both terribly happy and terribly sad.
I love akeshu, they're my otp. You are so very extremely right about them 🥺
@@serazaydia hehe, I am ever so fond of friends to enemies to lovers or anything along that trope, and Atlus knew we'd be too powerful if we could romance Akechi or any of the other guys lmao. Doesn't stop me from being incredibly entranced with their dynamic, I love them whether platonic or romantic, I live for their interactions.
just me, a Robbie Daymond admirer, vibing to how incredibly talented he is even when he’s popping off as the realization of a kid’s mental breakdown 😅
2:30
"CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN! YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN! IT WAS A MISINPUT"
I actually speculated that Loki’s influence on his psyche with berserk-like infection is why he seems so wild in the metaverse as opposed to the real world. He’s always sinister, but his emotional control seems to dwindle in the metaverse unless he’s acting like in the Sae Arc.
The VA definitely had a lot of fun
“YA LITTLE SHIT!!” Akechi said calmly
"Joker's enraged? I kinda like it..... BUT ITS NOT YOU. CALM DOWN"
what in the fanfic........
"You piece of shit... I'M GONNA KILL YOU"
Akechi calmly remarked
2:22 door jokes will forever be peak comedy in the persona fandom
You know, after you showing all those clips. Not only is Akechi always calm, but he’s also the most sane character in the game 😌
"You seem like a calm reasonable person"
Real talk Akechi’s VA is goated
Pretty normal outside palaces
But make him mad and your in for one terrible time
"Heal yourself GENIUS." Akechi said calmly.
Yeah, I just love calling him out on his BS… (he says if he wanted the Phantoms dead, they’d be dead… just like when he lost this battle? Just like when he failed to execute Joker?)
I knew all that chemistry between him and Joker wasn’t for nothing, lol.
0:05 bruh he's walking in place
I love how it sounds a bit like he actually cares about Kasumi
that's cause he totally does 🥰 he'd just never admit it in a million years
"JOKER IS ENRAGED....I kinda like it 😏"
There's a reason Akechi is both so relatable and my favorite character. And geez, Robby Daymond is my favorite voiceactor. Though I will say, 'the high school detective, Goro Akechi!' is always calm. The facade he puts foward is always calm. It's his true self that isn't. So I suppose, in a way, he's not wrong. The Akechi talking to Ren when he said that was telling the truth.
Akechi saying "You're just some criminal trash living in an attic! So, how" made me laugh so fucking much in my first playthrough because he sounded so fucking flabbergasted and he truly couldnt believe it
Define "calm". Because I define it as NOT laughing like a maniac while giving Raiden from Metal Gear Uprising a run for his money.
"Joker's Enraged? i kind of like it, but its not you... Calm Down." Akechi said Gayly
imagine if Akechi has to face his shadow, but the shadow is just him playing darts.
“DIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!”
- Akechi asked Calmly
Akechi is a calm and reasonable person
"PLEASE IM A STARRRRRR" aah moment
yes… VERY CALM!
He PROBABLY wanted to blow off some steam you know? LET OUT his feelings
Akechi:JOKER LETS CRUSH THEM
Akechi when sumire: noooo… you cant be down :(
“I’m getting a warm tingly feeling from all this POWER”
“Joker’s enraged?! I kind of like it, but it’s not you”
🤨Akechi, you tryna say something?
Edit: 175 Likes?! Thank you so much you lovely people🥰
Akechi is a sub confirmed?
"Take it all. TAKE IT ALL!"
My fav sadomasochistic character
he and joker are both switches
"look at this scum pile up" - just normal everyday akechi
Akechi was also quite calm when he found out Amamiya-kun slept with his cat.
I love his Laughter Lmao
“Yoshizawa-san! Wasn’t anyone paying attention to her??!!”
This made me feel as though I’ve somehow neglected her health the first time she died in battle.
i was honestly expecting to see he mess up the throw
he messes up if you say "throw like a detective" (or pre-third sem, if you say "go go goro-san")
He calmly shot a guard, calmly shot Joker in the face, and went along as if nothing really happened. It was like he was calm.
he is calm, just also crazy.
2:25 what do you mean you kind of like it 😉
Akechi is always calm.
It just so happens that he gets Motivated at times. (reaaaaally motivated)
It's giving, '"HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THAT GOBLET?!?!?!" Dumbledore said calmly' 😂
Very calm character
Of course he is calm...he made evryone else go psychotic so in comparison to them he is calm
