I’m not entirely certain about Akechi but Joker was definitely a theatre kid back home. Only reason he isn’t in-game is because Shujin doesn’t seem to have a drama club and they wouldn’t let him join if it did.
I have a head canon that Akechi probably saw a musical once with his mum and never forgot it just so that they could be drama kids together. Sad that there wasn’t any drama clubs in shujin :(

I love how Crow is singing the high notes and hogging the spotlight while Joker sings the lower notes for the harmonies, vital yet not overly showy. It fits their characters perfectly and it just makes this all the more perfect. Also good lord you two have chords.

Sad thing is, they're both right. Without Akechi the mental shutdown cases wouldn't have started, thus creating the Phantom Thieves. Without Joker, the need for his investigation into the Phantom Thieves wouldn't have brought him into the full spotlight of the media. Yes, Akechi was on the news before the Phantom Thieves, but his opinions of their actions is what fully sparked the public interest in him.
that's why this adaptation of the song goes great for it!! it's almost exactly like the original in their role case where the novelist wouldn't have fame if it wasn't for his protagonist, and the protagonist wouldn't have fame if the writer never created him 0-0 Robbie knew what he was doing when he chose this song to cover
Actually the phantom thieves didn’t even begin looking into the mental shutdowns. They were just changing peoples hearts for the better. komoshida maderame and kaneshiro were their first three targets. Even before the mental shutdown cases they were assholes who’s hearts were changed and gave the phantom thieves popularity.
@@ultimateqmazing2537 Akechi was the reason they became known worldwide and became so successful because of the Akechi vs phantom theives thing. Without Akechi they would have faded into obscurity. They kept going because of the fame
And when Akechi disappears... very few people *do* care. And when akechi disappears, very few people *do* seem to care about the phantom thieves. I totally agree. They’re both right.
After they finish singing, they reveal to be on a stage in an almost empty theater, with the rest of the Thieves sitting in their seats, absolutely baffled. Except for Yusuke, who just claps and gives them a standing ovation.
I might have to watch it again to beleive this isn’t a crazy fever dream from watching too much P5 content at once. If this isn’t a dream, I’d like to thank the TH-cam suggestion algorithm for sticking this in with the rest of the P5 soundtrack I’m crying
Xander Mobius has so much range in his voice that it's honestly quite incredible. Joker, the smash announcer, and this number sound so drastically different that I'm still blown away by the fact that it's all the same guy.
I had a persona fusion accident once not during an alarm and it became shiki-ouji which ended up carrying me hard, especially against akechi since it's immune to everything he can throw out at me except his one almighty attack on both Robin Hood and Loki.
@@the_supern0va238 same but with a persona called abbodon (or something like that) it absorbed physical, guns and curse and resisted bless. Made the akechi fight a cakewalk.
i can just imagine the rest of the phantom thieves standing on the side just watching and being super confused because akira is never this cocky in front of them

“without me you’d just disappear right into thin air and no one would care or notice you ever were here” STFU THAT HITS SO MUCH HARDER AFTER THE THIRD SEMESTER
Fun Fact: Coincidentally, as Joker is roughly 2 years younger than Akechi, Xander Mobus, the voice the Joker, is almost 10 years younger than Robbie Daymond, the voice of Akechi. Meanwhile, Hiroki Ino, the actor who portrayed Joker in Persona 5: The Stage, is 5 years younger than Yoshihide Sasaki, the actor who portrayed Akechi in the same play. Meanwhile, Jun Fukuyama, the Japanese VA of Joker, is 6 years younger than Sōichirō Hoshi, the Japanese VA of Akechi. There is also something similar in their main Personas: Joker's Arsène is obviously younger in concept than Akechi's Robin Hood; Arsène Lupin first appeared in 1905, and Robin Hood is from the 13th-14th century. Meanwhile, their Ultimate Personas from Persona 5 Royal also have a great difference in age; Raoul, which is still Arsène Lupin's middle name, is the same aforementioned character, whilst Hereward is inspired by Hereward the Wake, an Anglo-Saxon nobleman and a leader of local resistance to the Norman Conquest of England who lived from 1035 to 1072. The only exception is Satanael and Loki, as Satanael is from Gnosticism, which first appeared in the 1st century AD, whilst the Norse Pantheon and its stories are first spoken of in as early as the 5th century, becoming popular from the 11th to 13th centuries. Overall, with the exception of the gods they represent, Akechi is always older than Joker in some way or another. Edit: Took me 5 minutes to do this. Both the typing and research. It's actually really easy in this context.
@@emilysmith5360 well, everything is debatable. After all, Joker’s birthday is technically changeable, isn’t it? He is a self-insert character after all.
@Nicholas Lau He’s got a bit of a personality going for him so he’s not a complete blank slate. Also if Joker were roughly two years younger than Akechi, that’d make him a first year…which he isn’t.
I imagine the thieves gang is driving around in Mementos. Everyone is just sitting quietly, then all of a sudden Joker and Akechi just bust out into singing. And everyone else is just sitting there wondering what the heck they're doing.
@Kizu Matato then angrily yells at Futaba *"NO WAY AM I GONNA LET THEM FINISH. WE ARE HERE ON A MISSION, ITS NOT A MUSICAL. I SAY THAT WE **_KICK THE TSUNDERES_** OUT FOR BURSTING INTO SONG. YOU AND YOUR STUPID SHUAKE CAN GO BE THROWN AND THEY CAN DESPAWN. IM FRICKING TIRED OF SHUAKE."* and then she starts silently sobbing because of Futabas ships. also, futabas literally tsumigi shirogane when it comes to ships.

STOP IM CRYING THIS IS AMAZING THE “REN OR AKIRA” PART MADE ME LOSE IT I CANT BREATHEEEEEE I get musical broadway vibes from this where it’s two partners who can’t get along at first but then the relationship blooms between them eventually- like a reprise version of this later in the musical where they realize they actually do need each other and care a lot about each other and just mmMmmMmMMMMMM Also you don’t understand how much power you are giving me, an idol fan who’s also an artist and writer, over shuake when y’all can BOTH SING LIKE THIS
BlackRcse ♡ i'd imagine the reprise would be at the end, and it would be when joker's lamenting over akechi being gone bc my shuake brain only understands angst 😭😭
Sapphire Sonoda OH MY GODDDDD THEYRE LIKE SINGING TO EACH OTHER AND AKIRA TRIES TO REACH AKECHI BUT IT’S TOO LATE AND AKIRA FINISHES OFF THE SONG BY HIMSELF AFTER THE GUNSHOT WHILE SADLY SINGING “I’M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU”- IM CRYING!!!! IM LITERALLY CRYING I CAN NOT. I CAN NOT....
>I get musical broadway vibes from this That's because it is from musical broadway lol... it's from a musical called "City of Angels". For context, it's a scriptwriter arguing with his main character. The detective character is saying that the writer would be nothing without him, hence the "i'm your meal ticket" line, and the writer argues back that the character wouldn't exist if he hadn't written him in the first place.
I was thinking, "Damn, both of these singers really sound like Akechi and Joker." Then I went down and saw that this channel is Robbie Daymond's with a special guest star of Xander Mobus... Just wow.
ATLUS: Let's make a silent protagonist but he has a great VA who will never talk outside of one liners Me: Wouldn't It be nice If the protagonist evolved by interactions in the social links getting to not only knowing a little bit more about his friends and himself and also HE COULD TALK this video just proves my point
At the _very_ least have the protag voice the lines that we pick. I'm fine with protags not being very talkative, but when the rest of the cutscene is fully voiced and Joker's one or two lines are just silence, it really stands out. What, do they expect us to speak Joker's lines out loud while we're playing? No way I'm doing that.
@@ShermTank7272 Imagine if they decided to let future mc voice your choice but they do it similar to Xillia 2 with Ludger where he is silent in the first play through a you unlock his voice in New game +
@@ShermTank7272 This. This is what I want. I don't think it would take much time to voice all of them,since at least of the choices of dialogue happen in non-voiced cutscenes, but apparently ATLUS doesn't think so, too bad...
Can we take a moment to talk about how great their voices are together? I enjoy the playful banter too! (And dayum Xander do be hitting them low notes 👀)
@@norelle28 Spoilers! I did both endings and I liked the "bad" ending better because everyone stayed together. I always hated it how after everything, Joker's parents didn't call him or text they didn't even seem to care. But when he moved, he found people who care. Just to move back? It never made sense to me. XD
Jamal Howourth well yeah but his parents could contact him off-screen, there is many things off-screen such as brushing your teeth, using toilet, waking up etc. They can call him or text him when we can’t see it. Or they really just do not care lol.
@@The_True_Dark_King "Joker's parents didn't call him or text they didn't even seem to care. But when he moved, he found people who care. Just to move back?" Reminds me of the end of 4. And well it not being a happily ever after is basically the entire point of the true ending. "Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times." I guess you just want the good times without the other parts of the cycle. A pity.
i prefer the battle between pancakes and crepes, the one last year. that was amazing. ann and akechi didnt fight. this is fighting, not coming together to settle their differences. ann and akechi started to appreciate crepes and pancakes. i like to think of it as pancakes vs cake (dont question it).
That's what I'm saying! The few times the game lets him be an actual character are so good, I have no idea why Atlus forced him to be a silent protagonist, such a waste of potential.
@@BillytheCorgi You somewhat countered yourself there. 'The few times the game lets him be an actual character are so good, I have no idea why Atlus forced him to be a silent protagonist'. A few times, he does speak, so he's not as silent as you claim him to be.
@@lanalewis6982 He speaks a grand total of 3 times throughout the entire game. And during those 3 moments of the game he is a great character. What a shame that out of 100+ hours you may as well be playing a cardboard box
Not exactly the right place for this, but I just noticed that their glove and mask colors are reversed. I feel like the mask represents their true self and the gloves are their public image. Crow has a pure white image but a bloody true nature, while Joker is seen as a criminal but is actually a good person. Also the black eye lining could show that he accepts that he still has a dark side.
that makes sense since the thieves den conversation about arsene reveals that joker does view himself as an outlaw doing his own justice instead of like. a pure moral soul
Personally the whole eye situation I think is how it stands for being able to, as represented alot in the game, to see your true self. In this situation, everyone. Which refers to seeing your deep secrets revealed by mementos to rid of or have a change of heart.
I'm imagining Ren inviting everyone to the Jazz Club and then walking up on stage, with a band he hired. Spotlights on him, then Akechi. And with a smirk he starts singing.
Here's an idea : you and Xander singing a Persona version of "Anything you can do" from Annie Get Your Gun. Who's with me ?? Edit: Yo I'm so glad so many people are on board! I don't have social media but those of you guys who do please spread the idea (if you aren't doing so already ;) )
Joker and Crow, two sides of the same coin. Inside them I see a remarkable potential, so wide it frightens even me. And their looks, both are... extremely attractive.
SPOILERS after playing royal, ''one small threat and you fold like a card table'' hurts a lot more than it should... considering akechi is singing those lyrics, and what he said in 2/2 before the player has the option to say they won't fold at such a ''trivial'' threat on akechi's life... :(
Okay not gonna lie, I watched the entire video thinking this was just a fan with really good impressions for Akechi and Joker... but when the song was done I scrolled to see who made the video and I'm like "Damn this guy's name looks familiar... I think I read someone mention him on another video- wait." and I looked him up and Yeah this is the actual Akechi VA and I am in tears WHAT A KING EDIT: XANDER WAS IN ON THIS TOO
Lyrics: Verse 1: (Joker) You are some gumshoe, you just don't think well. It's my Phantom Troope you can go straight to Hell! Is your mouth lonely, with one foot in there? Crow, your brain only hold thoughts I put in there Just what you are I'll spell out You are a phantom pain. One speck of lint that fell out the last time I picked my brain... (Crow) You are so jealous, of my track record. Joker, do tell us your feeble hack record Your weak knees brand you, soft and unstable. One small threat and you fold like a card table. You drool at my own deductions. You're just starting when I'm done. You craft your own destruction. Your sword is no match for my gun. Chorus: (Together) You're nothing... without me! a no one who'd go undefined You wouldn't exist You'd never be missed (Joker) I tell you, you're out of your mind! (Together) A show off! A blowhard! You're equal parts hot air and gall! And no one would doubt me without me you're nothing at all! Verse 2: (Joker) You are so thick, you eat, breathe, sleep fiction I'm your meal ticket, knee-deep in cheap fiction. (Crow) You're in my plot, I'm still your creator. I call each shot. I'm your private dictator. (Joker) You gloating ignoramus! You haven't any shame. (Crow) Hey!! I'm a famous shamus. And most people don't know your name Is it Ren? Or is it Akira? Or does the player just sort of, make it up Chorus: (Together) You're nothing... without me! Without me you’d just disappear, Right into thin air And no one would care Or notice you ever were here!! A puppet An upstart A loser who’s destined to fall!! I’m everything you always wanted to be… Let’s deal with the issue: You wish you were me! You’re nothing without me, Without me you’re nothing at all!

STFU THAT HITS SO MUCH HARDER AFTER THE THIRD SEMESTER
joker after the third semester: (many regrets) so i might have lied ☹
Fun Fact: Coincidentally, as Joker is roughly 2 years younger than Akechi, Xander Mobus, the voice the Joker, is almost 10 years younger than Robbie Daymond, the voice of Akechi. Meanwhile, Hiroki Ino, the actor who portrayed Joker in Persona 5: The Stage, is 5 years younger than Yoshihide Sasaki, the actor who portrayed Akechi in the same play. Meanwhile, Jun Fukuyama, the Japanese VA of Joker, is 6 years younger than Sōichirō Hoshi, the Japanese VA of Akechi.
There is also something similar in their main Personas:
Joker's Arsène is obviously younger in concept than Akechi's Robin Hood; Arsène Lupin first appeared in 1905, and Robin Hood is from the 13th-14th century. Meanwhile, their Ultimate Personas from Persona 5 Royal also have a great difference in age; Raoul, which is still Arsène Lupin's middle name, is the same aforementioned character, whilst Hereward is inspired by Hereward the Wake, an Anglo-Saxon nobleman and a leader of local resistance to the Norman Conquest of England who lived from 1035 to 1072. The only exception is Satanael and Loki, as Satanael is from Gnosticism, which first appeared in the 1st century AD, whilst the Norse Pantheon and its stories are first spoken of in as early as the 5th century, becoming popular from the 11th to 13th centuries.
Overall, with the exception of the gods they represent, Akechi is always older than Joker in some way or another.
Edit: Took me 5 minutes to do this. Both the typing and research. It's actually really easy in this context.
oh wow
@Nicholas Lau Actually Joker is roughly one year younger than Akechi, not two.
@@emilysmith5360 well, everything is debatable. After all, Joker’s birthday is technically changeable, isn’t it? He is a self-insert character after all.
@Nicholas Lau He’s got a bit of a personality going for him so he’s not a complete blank slate.
Also if Joker were roughly two years younger than Akechi, that’d make him a first year…which he isn’t.
I ain’t reading all that
I imagine the thieves gang is driving around in Mementos. Everyone is just sitting quietly, then all of a sudden Joker and Akechi just bust out into singing. And everyone else is just sitting there wondering what the heck they're doing.
and then makoto yells at them like *"YOU IDIOTS STOP BURSTING INTO SONG ALL THE GODDAMN TIME THIS ISNT A BLOODY MUSICAL IM SICK AND TIRED OF IT"*
@Kizu Matato then angrily yells at Futaba *"NO WAY AM I GONNA LET THEM FINISH. WE ARE HERE ON A MISSION, ITS NOT A MUSICAL. I SAY THAT WE **_KICK THE TSUNDERES_** OUT FOR BURSTING INTO SONG. YOU AND YOUR STUPID SHUAKE CAN GO BE THROWN AND THEY CAN DESPAWN. IM FRICKING TIRED OF SHUAKE."* and then she starts silently sobbing because of Futabas ships. also, futabas literally tsumigi shirogane when it comes to ships.
And when they finish Yusuke, Haru or both of them start clapping.
@@epicgamer-ie6ww Sumia from Fire Emblem Awakening: Oh, you ship people together too? I shipped my eldest daughter from the future with my husband's best friend/tactician. And they actually got married.

>I get musical broadway vibes from this
That's because it is from musical broadway lol... it's from a musical called "City of Angels".
For context, it's a scriptwriter arguing with his main character. The detective character is saying that the writer would be nothing without him, hence the "i'm your meal ticket" line, and the writer argues back that the character wouldn't exist if he hadn't written him in the first place.

this video just proves my point
If the persona protags were non Silent and we could learn more about them. The games would be even better imo
At the _very_ least have the protag voice the lines that we pick. I'm fine with protags not being very talkative, but when the rest of the cutscene is fully voiced and Joker's one or two lines are just silence, it really stands out.
What, do they expect us to speak Joker's lines out loud while we're playing? No way I'm doing that.

Not exactly the right place for this, but I just noticed that their glove and mask colors are reversed. I feel like the mask represents their true self and the gloves are their public image. Crow has a pure white image but a bloody true nature, while Joker is seen as a criminal but is actually a good person. Also the black eye lining could show that he accepts that he still has a dark side.
that makes sense since the thieves den conversation about arsene reveals that joker does view himself as an outlaw doing his own justice instead of like. a pure moral soul

Verse 1: (Joker)
You are some gumshoe,
you just don't think well.
It's my Phantom Troope
you can go straight to Hell!
Is your mouth lonely,
with one foot in there?
Crow, your brain only
hold thoughts I put in there
Just what you are I'll spell out
You are a phantom pain.
One speck of lint that fell out
the last time I picked my brain...
(Crow)
You are so jealous,
of my track record.
Joker, do tell us
your feeble hack record
Your weak knees brand you,
soft and unstable.
One small threat and you
fold like a card table.
You drool at my own deductions.
You're just starting when I'm done.
You craft your own destruction.
Your sword is no match for my gun.
Chorus: (Together)
You're nothing...
without me!
a no one who'd go undefined
You wouldn't exist
You'd never be missed
(Joker)
I tell you, you're out of your mind!
(Together)
A show off!
A blowhard!
You're equal parts hot air and gall!
And no one would doubt me
without me you're nothing at all!
Verse 2:
(Joker)
You are so thick, you
eat, breathe, sleep fiction
I'm your meal ticket,
knee-deep in cheap fiction.
(Crow)
You're in my plot,
I'm still your creator.
I call each shot.
I'm your private dictator.
(Joker)
You gloating ignoramus!
You haven't any shame.
(Crow)
Hey!! I'm a famous shamus.
And most people don't know your name
Is it Ren? Or is it Akira?
Or does the player just sort of, make it up
Chorus: (Together)
You're nothing...
without me!
Without me you’d just disappear,
Right into thin air
And no one would care
Or notice you ever were here!!
A puppet
An upstart
A loser who’s destined to fall!!
I’m everything you always wanted to be…
Let’s deal with the issue:
