if you want to know, those same lines were at the end of chapter 21 of the fanfic "if 2 phantom theives were on the moon and one killed the other with a rock, would that be fucked up or what?"
In case anyone in the comments doesn't get it: When Futaba nerded out over Akechi's new phone in front of the courthouse, she planted a virus app that can record and send anything he talks into the mic to the Phantom Thieves, hence how they knew all his conversations with Shido and when he referred to him by name they then knew Shido was the big mastermind. An app was also installed on Akira's phone that inputs info into the Metaverse Navigator app from an exterior source and triggers when a person who's been there before is shown the phone, after it was primed. When it's active it also puts a complex lock on the phone that prevented the police from getting into it. Futaba also had the ability to just flat activate the app at any time which is what she did after she started talking to Sae, as she was in the Metaverse then and had to remove her from there. Originally Morgana was worried about someone entering their own palace but Futaba's case proved it wasn't dangerous if they weren't there for too long. The palace fit the plan because it was in the courthouse, hence the entire district with the police station included was part of the palace, so as long as they didn't steal the treasure, the palace would stay up. Joker was, as far as Sae knew, in the room, hence in her cognitive world he was too - he was just like any of the ordinary people walking around in one of the palaces that aren't actually real. The briefcase Joker carried was a fake - it was not the treasure found in the palace. Sae's treasure was a briefcase in the Metaverse but it's unknown what it was in the real world.
IT’S THIS SCENE I just noticed Joker/Akira’s hair is soooooooo scruffy. Like that’s why It’s hard to draw him, but to pull of the scruff is one thing, another is to make it look good with your outfit.
THIS IS SOME DEEP STUFF, AKECHI GOT REKED BY PANCAKES, FAKE AKIRAS, METAVERSE SHENANIGANS, FREAKING SOME STUFF THAT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR SECRET GROUPS AND SOME STUF THAT EVEN MY SCIENCE TEACHERS WOULD BE CONFUSED BY!
Holy shit this is some scooby doo mystery solving and trickery right here goddamn *Edit*: oh hey atleast someone else felt the same way right before the end :o
Wait... if you're getting closer to the end... and there are gonna be only about thirty more parts... what am I gonna do with my life when it ends... oh my god... this is affecting my very soul...
Annnd now... remember that one person who donated when Akechi first talked to them all? They named themselves Goro_Akechi and said "Pancakes...?" I'm so glad no one figured it out before this moment because they gave a serious spoiler there and at the exact moment Akechi walked up to them and asked about pancakes. X'D "Hey, Akira, does this gun look smoking or is that a bullet in your head?" Wow x'D unnecessary lol
Yeah you have to remember those cops are real people outside the Palace. Joker is not a murderer, and everything he was doing was part of the plan to fool Akechi and Shido anyway.
God, I felt more emotion here than I ever did. I was so confused when Ryuji was looking at the TV, and I just curled up into a ball and cried. Then I played the video and realized that there wasn't anything wrong.
36:40 Remember when Joseph Anderson played this and literally bitched at his chat for an hour because he didn't understand why they didn't find a body and hold a funeral for the fake cognitive guard and Joker?
YOOOO I WENT FUCKIN CRAZY WHEN AKIRA WAS JUST SITTING THERE LIEK OMFG THAT DECEIT WAS SO ON POINT HORY FUCKIN SHITU G FUCKIN G ATLUS THAT WAS SOME DEATH NOTE DECEPTION TYPE SHIT
Although it was all staged, seeing Haru sad as fuck makes me fucking cry. Seeing her fiancé take advantage of her while thats happening makes me wanna fucking riot.
Soo did they ever explain what they did to make sure Akira didn´t suffer a mental breakdown when his metaverese-self got killed? Or did they just hope people wouldn´t remember the whole part about "get killed in the metaverse causes you to have a mental breakdown"-part?
Late reply but the mental shutdown thing only applies to your shadow that's going to be in a palace or mementos. Otherwise when Ann sliced the cognition of herself when she got her Persona she would've died right then and we know that's not what happened.
akira: *gets shot*
silence
genji: yo
ShelbytheSquare akechi donated 1€
*splat
Actual top ten anime betrayals.
you mean the pancakes or Akechi?
akechi betrayed by pancakes
You can now fuse SATAN
*IIITSSS SYMBOOOLIIIC*
CavaliaFS I saw that too
I literally cried laughing whenI saw that on my first play through.
I've always wanted to gain the power of the dark lord
"I LIVED BITCH"
bless you shen for showing that, it's an amazingly fitting piece
if you want to know, those same lines were at the end of chapter 21 of the fanfic "if 2 phantom theives were on the moon and one killed the other with a rock, would that be fucked up or what?"
Private Aku oh my
btw, it has nothing to do with the phantom thieves being on the moon and then killing one another with rocks
Private Aku that makes more sense lol
Private Aku
I saw that fanfic on my Google search recommendations last night wtf.
The real twist was that everyone already knew Light Yagami 2.0's plan
Where's L when you need him?!
TSE Zyph We got Futaba, she’s cuter anyways.
Murcielago - she does even sit like him...
dylzoe and she used a voice filter when she talks to sae through the phone.
I DIDNT !
holy shit i cried for like 20 minutes straight wtf Persona that was one of the top 10 biggest anime plot twists
Huh... It's the first time i saw that in an actual anime vid and not memes...

7:10 Congrats on finishing the longest intro in gaming history.
Pancakes: Akechi's Guilty pleasure and weakness.
AKIRA IS A GOD! AKIRA IS A GENIUS! ALL HAIL AKIRA!
Plus, LOOKIN' GOOD SAE!
36:18 Akechi wants to put a bullet in your skull*
My bond with Akechi has grown deeper...
I fucking screeched when I saw that shit
Akechi: *I'm going to destroy the phantom thieves*
Pancakes: *I'm about to end this man's whole carrier :)*
#ILIVEDBITCH
IT’S THIS SCENE
I just noticed Joker/Akira’s hair is soooooooo scruffy. Like that’s why It’s hard to draw him, but to pull of the scruff is one thing, another is to make it look good with your outfit.
I like when akira takes the mugshots the first letter and number are p and 5
Mathias Ivan it means the 1st 5 pancakes are free
It also says protagonist
@@wbtu897 where?
I've been waiting for this episode omg I giggled so hard at her reaction
THEY PULLED OF THE BAMBOOZLE SWITCHEROONNIE
39:01 WE ALL KNOW DAMN WELL RYUJI AND FUTABA WOULD BE FIRST IN LINE TO AVENGE AKIRA/REN
Best thing in this episode is Ryuji's smirk fite me
37:40 Let us all take a moment of silence for Akira
Y'all came for 47:13 onwards
17:25 Akira is crying :(
Random Person Its just water dripping down his face. Akira never cries... Senpai has nerves of steel
Andrew It came from his eyes dude, so I will believe even if the director of the game says it's water.... :-/
Random Person its from senpai's hair dude... Look closer
It’s from his hair, as he got a bucket of water to wake him up
I will belieeeeeve..... even though I'm an idiot and I know I'm wrong...
Akechi ace defective
When Ryuji says "we got him" does him=Akechi?
Andy Lor yes... Imagine if he meant Akira though...
Andy Lor Yeah, Ryuji believed that Akira succeeded.
Andy Lor That honestly confused me the first time I saw it
I was like wait WHAT
Andrew plot twist the phantom thieves were trying to kill Akira all along
He actually said we got em’ I think, he wasn’t talking about Akiren though but goddamit would that have been the biggest plot twist the whole world.
I've never had such a rollercoaster of emotions in an hour pure happiness sadness disbelief and anger
THIS IS SOME DEEP STUFF, AKECHI GOT REKED BY PANCAKES, FAKE AKIRAS, METAVERSE SHENANIGANS, FREAKING SOME STUFF THAT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR SECRET GROUPS AND SOME STUF THAT EVEN MY SCIENCE TEACHERS WOULD BE CONFUSED BY!
I have to say, the plan is one of the biggest twists and the most impressive thing about this game, it even took 20 minutes to explain lol
The true protagonist was *delicious pancakes*
Holy shit this is some scooby doo mystery solving and trickery right here goddamn *Edit*: oh hey atleast someone else felt the same way right before the end :o
he is the one true joker
IT WAS THE FUCKING PANCAKES
Akechi's desire is a guilty pleasure that doomed his plan from the beginning
Wait... if you're getting closer to the end... and there are gonna be only about thirty more parts... what am I gonna do with my life when it ends... oh my god... this is affecting my very soul...
dręåm łøvęr Watch it againg form the very beginning, every single second.
I've been blessed with this wisdom
Poor Mishima
He knows nothing of their plan
Akechi slipped up on some syrup boi
My just”sis” ;)
Describe Akira in one sentence
Me: Too cocky in a good way
N G H.
I COULDNT BREATHE FOR MOST OF THIS EPISODE, THESE ARE AMAZINGGG PLOT TWISTS WTF I CANT BREATHE INNNN
After seeing the anime scene: DÉJÀ VU? I think I’ve been here before
PRAISE THE PANCAKE \[T]/
Annnd now... remember that one person who donated when Akechi first talked to them all? They named themselves Goro_Akechi and said "Pancakes...?" I'm so glad no one figured it out before this moment because they gave a serious spoiler there and at the exact moment Akechi walked up to them and asked about pancakes. X'D
"Hey, Akira, does this gun look smoking or is that a bullet in your head?" Wow x'D unnecessary lol
Imagine if she was eating Pancakes instead of Tuna in that stream...
Morgana>akechi
15:00 Akira has shitton of magic things that could easily kill all of the police, but naaahhh let's just run.
Even though he could it would ruin his plans. Akechi knows their identities so they had to go with it wheather they wanted itnor not..
Luiigii He also doesn't want to kill people, remember?
Yeah you have to remember those cops are real people outside the Palace. Joker is not a murderer, and everything he was doing was part of the plan to fool Akechi and Shido anyway.
Ahh-- the double-bluff.
Gotta love it.
Wow shen's haru voice is almost indistinguishable! I love it >^
27:13 when the realization kicks in
ASKETCHY.
Hyped af
God, I felt more emotion here than I ever did. I was so confused when Ryuji was looking at the TV, and I just curled up into a ball and cried. Then I played the video and realized that there wasn't anything wrong.
12/19/18
Dam it Shen why the cliffhanger
#SHENCRY
The subtitles for akechi’s name say “milk a cheese”
36:40 Remember when Joseph Anderson played this and literally bitched at his chat for an hour because he didn't understand why they didn't find a body and hold a funeral for the fake cognitive guard and Joker?
32:57 True justice means you can summon fuckin Satan?! I am dying! XD ah my stomach
this episode was dead ass criminal minds type of shit
Izanagi it’s like a season of Prison Break
I'M SHOOK WHAT
“Akechi fucking backstabbed you.”
Your bond with Akechi has deepened!
WHA-
HUH?!
Akechi : "This is how your justice ends."
Also *Akechi* :D O N A T E 1 €
I just love it when shen starts dying of laughter XD
47:13
I can’t imagine the pain and shock Shen must have felt when she thought ryuji also betrayed akira
This was the best plot twist I have ever seen in a game
I FUCKING CALLED AKECHI THE TRUE CULPRIT THE MOMENT I SAW AKECHI!!! YES! NAILED IT!!!
ALSO FUCKING HELL ATLUS THIS IS LEGENDARY!!!
46:24 DONT TOUCH THE FLOOF!
YOOOO I WENT FUCKIN CRAZY WHEN AKIRA WAS JUST SITTING THERE LIEK OMFG THAT DECEIT WAS SO ON POINT HORY FUCKIN SHITU G FUCKIN G ATLUS THAT WAS SOME DEATH NOTE DECEPTION TYPE SHIT
Although it was all staged, seeing Haru sad as fuck makes me fucking cry. Seeing her fiancé take advantage of her while thats happening makes me wanna fucking riot.
I love that Arsene shows up to be like, "Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'm still here because continuity. Alright, cool, see ya later."
Soo did they ever explain what they did to make sure Akira didn´t suffer a mental breakdown when his metaverese-self got killed? Or did they just hope people wouldn´t remember the whole part about "get killed in the metaverse causes you to have a mental breakdown"-part?
Late reply but the mental shutdown thing only applies to your shadow that's going to be in a palace or mementos. Otherwise when Ann sliced the cognition of herself when she got her Persona she would've died right then and we know that's not what happened.
Warimano
I know I’m late, but it was Sae’s cognition of Akira, not shadow Akira.
I remember when I saw this scene. It was so confusing until they explained
"Yall this part fucked me up a lot" - Shenpai, 2017
I can empthaize with this. I was in tears during this, screaming in anger, sadness, and happiness.
*PRAISE THE PANCAKES!!!!!*
I guess you could say Akechi was a bit of a... PanFAKE?!
"I lived bitch"
32:50 cool, now we can fuse Satan, awesome
The feels tho...
Go to 47:17 at full volume
Akira: *I LIVED BITCH*
1:08:04 this is pretty much everyone's reaction
1:13:05 I thought you were going to say pancakes
Yas I've been waiting!!!!
OH GOD IM WATCHING THIS AT 2 IN THE MORNING AND MY CRYING IS WAKING THE ENTIRE HOUSE UP SEND HELP-
that plan was elaborate as fuck yo
the pic omg XD
23:10 wow. Just wow.
Sold them out without a second thought.
I think Rise's "FORCED RELETIONSHIP" after that is silly
for some reason, this stream episode cracked me up so much like I almost cried when I saw that fucking meme image of Akira like holy shit
When I played the game I thought I got a bad ending...
Wait....WHERE ARE AKIRA’S PARENTS ARENT THEY WORRIED LIKE HELL
Late reply, but they didin't know about that he was the leader of phantom thieves
That pancakes line immediately didn’t sit right with me. Glad to know I wasn’t jumping the gun too soon whew
I know how you feel shenpai when I played it I cried like a baby 😅😭
Akira’s ‘death’ and the phantom thieves ‘reactions’ got me crying so goddamn hard
I like to think that akechi knew he’d be sus af for mentioning pancakes
but it was pancakes, his only weakness
Akechi isn't a homicidal maniac if he's trying to kill Akira and Ryuji then he's a homocidal maniac
I remember I used to think Naoto was evil because of Akechi... I am ashamed
Sketchy Akechi is born.
I REALLY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!! DA EFF AKECHI!!!!
After seeing Akita safe and before they show the flashback it says take your time and I’m thinking “believe me you’ll need it.”
“Clever girl”
Shen nearly giving me a forking heart attack.
I was so upset with akira’s death, I ate two cheese sandwiches.
43:40
...
I'm sorry but is that my man bryce papenbrook?
(ifthatsspelledwrongsorry)
lmao Shenpai almost sold them out for the bad ending
I bet when Shenpai saw the cut scene with Ryuji smiling and saying “We got him” she was gonna say.
Shenpai: He is no longer best boi!
