Akechi: the Royal experience 

P5R was just an Akechi dating route and Atlus wasn't even subtle about it. "I'm alone right now."

You gotta admit, Maruki writes some damn good fanfiction.

“I’m alone right now”

sometimes i can't believe akechi genuinely let us fuck up his hair and put glasses on him he always seemed definitely like the don't touch me type

"I hate you." *Rank up!*

Royal went and said "Joker is a simp, take it or leave it."

Joker: We're rivals, aren't we? Akechi: :O

ATLUS really said "hey we created an entire new story and a wholeass new character with godlike powers who wants you hang around with Akechi and go on jazz dates but we SWEAR it's not gay but like also here's a scene where he explicitly tells you he created this reality for you both haha no homo tho"

Lavenza: Are you regretting? Joker: No its okay Lavenza: But it doesnt look like.. Joker: * ugly sobbing* *I said its okay*

honestly. the. "let's go back. to our true reality." he said that so softly. the amount of pain i can imagine he was hiding

Not even 30 seconds in and the zoom in on Akechi then the pancakes made me ugly laugh. Thank you Oink

HIS SMILE BEHIND THE SHUTTERS-

So the million dollar question is: Does Joker keeps Akechi’s glove in his pocket all the god damn time??

Joker cares so much about Akechi though. It hurts.

"Honey, I'm home" Joker plz "You're back awfully late" Akechi are u just not going to react

Akechi: "I'm alone right now." Joker: *"OKAY!"* (rushes to see Akechi)

Robin Hood hitting himself is so humiliating im crying

The fanfic text overlay ended me

The game is trying to force him onto you more than Kasumi or Makoto combined. I mean...I’m not complaining🤷‍♂️

Akechi is like Persona 3 social link with girls, it doesn't matter if you want to or not, you're in a relationship now.

I honestly can't stop imaging Joker messing Akechi's hair and then give him his glasses.

"Two at once, the way I like it!" Akechi... what? As if we weren't concerned enough by, "More brainwashed than a cult member." 😂

He keeps Akechi’s glove in his pocket. That’s honestly one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen.

2:18 the fact that he answered to it like it was a perfectly natural thing says it all

Best character in the game. Also he is very well alive in the end, a figure with greenish uniform and a *left* glove? Yeah right, it's easy to pick Atlus' signals up

The 'I hate you' RANK UP as the same power as Akechi killing the guard in front of you and 'I feel like my bond with Akechi is growing deeper' and I live for it 😌✊ (All not so kidding aside, I love this video and all your other ones. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us! ☺️👌)

God this makes me want to replay the whole game just to experience Akechi again 😭😭😭 Came here for the memes and left in tears lol

Akechi’s starlight outfit kinda slaps though

Omg, Maruki the Shipper, I'm dead! The best part is that I actually read a fanfic once where Maruki really was a fanfic shipper and kept altering reality to create tropey contrivances in an effort to get them together.

I don't know why, but I lost it at "Goro and Akechi's Showtime has been unlocked." 8:20 timestamp

"Taste my *curry* " I'M LOSING IT RN

Anyone else wish he was walking the other way in the ending scene so we could see that his glove is missing-?

Joker: "Taste my curry!" Akechi: "This isn't good." Joker: "Die, DIE!"

11:08 When you hear footsteps outside but then realize you don't have an open window.

1:48 "im training to take you out." "like to dinner, or..."

That palace ruler's image looks like Gandhi before it is revealed.

Ren had more chemistry with Akechi than with Sumi

"Goro and Akechi's showtime has been unlocked" I died

i was ready for the haha funnies but instead i just Cried. so that was fun

The funny thing is when I played Third Semester I set Akechi to Act Freely because of his character

“Two at once! The way I like it!” Lmao 😂

my heart cant take this

>sees text notification >it’s from akechi “I’m alone right now.” >forcefully turns Morgana into a car

Yo, the almost-zoom to his butt that you switched immediately to the pancake on the wall really got me. Well played

0:17 now I know why Akechi's Dart's score is so high...

If you replace the word 'rivals' with 'boyfriends' the scenes are still exactly the same

“We should go somewhere, the three of us, as a group. We’ll call it our little celebration for Yoshizawa-san’s success” And thus, the greatest three way in history happened

To all them Akechi haters who won't even bother realizing the depths of his character, his relationship with Joker or how much Royal enhanced the whole thing, I have nothing but pity. Might as well be playing vanilla. A particular person comes to mind but I'm not gonna call out names.

People: joker and Akechi love each other Also joker and Akechi; Akechi: I hate you Joker: I know

Akechi : one card left Joker : 13 cards left, plays 8 Akechi : 3:56 Joker : *spamming pairs* thanks for sharing your royal experience with us it was delicious

This... was a spectacular and *royal* experience. Loved it!

Joker on the outside: you two have history? Joker on the inside: Step away from my man!😡

I might have had Joker romance Makoto, but Akechi is still his boyfriend.

Common misconception: Aketchi’s rank 3 persona Hereward is actually a rank 1 fusion persona, Robin Hood and Loki are two different personas, He has access to both Loki and Robin Hood since he first joined the team.

Even if Akechi hadn't been the villain and got the treatment of the average party member, I still think he would be one of the most dynamic, fleshed out, and loved characters. Even before his reveal, he is open to an extent about how he hates Joker and why, and how he respects him too. There is no other party member in Personas 3-5 that has ever had a dynamic this believable and real. If he weren't corrupt, he would still yearn for that recognition and the excuse to be condescending to everyone around that, but he can't do that around Ren. In 3-5, with the exception of early Junpei, everyone looks up to the protagonist since he is a good leader and the most reliable in combat, and they accept that and ultimately blindly trust him. Makoto goes against the wishes of the party and sacrifices himself. Yu can become an accomplice, and the party would never suspect him. But with Ren, Akechi is the only party member to ever be open and about his distaste (besides maybe Makoto before stealing Kaneshiro's heart, before she's reassured) with any decision and open about his desire to surpass the leader. He is so disappointed when Ren chooses to live in the false reality, and expresses such. Akechi ultimately accepts that Joker is stronger, but he nonetheless constantly keeps Ren under pressure because he expects a lot out of him. If anyone is going to be better than Akechi, they better do a darn good job at it. Gosh I love this character

Akechi: bitch. ARCANA Justice *RANK UP*

Akechi is the epitome of "Tell me you're gay, without telling me that you are gay."

"i hate you" bond ranks up

this is too perfect

The way he doesn't answer weirded out when you say 'honey, I'm home!' But he goes along with it MAKES ME SOFTTT

Just realised At the end, we just see one side of the " man that looks like Akechi" We can't see if he has his two gloves

Nobody: Altus being “subtle”:

8:37 this had me dead

I laughed so hard at “but the waves washed away my swimming trunks”

2:23 O H B O I Those moans

bro i just finished p5r and i must say jfc why couldnt we date Akechi... 😭 like dude, joker carries his glove, doesnt know how to feel now that akechi is gone (as in he's not sure what he did was the right thing) and him even talking (more like arguing) with Akechi the day b4 fighting maruki and u have the option to live in the world where Akechi is alive or live in reality but Akechi is yelling at you bc he thinks you are basically insulting his wishes for you to live in a world without him

6:38 Nobody: Akechi towards Joker: I want to kill you but I don’t want you to DIE

wait you can go to the jazz club on the last day to get something? ;-; I didn’t know

*20 mins in zooms in* me: yeah zoom dat as.... *zooms to pancakes* me: that looks good too

2:23 excuse him, making that sound? And the dialogue 😅😂 Wild.

0:44 "I am thou, thou art I"💀

2:51 seeing the “akechi jig” with him in the dark outfit is blursed

I love how you stopped the music at the jazz club so it only says “People come-“

The part at 3:58 absolutely killed me.

6:48 “Akechi, whatcha cooking?” “Shadows.”

Can’t believe they added the jazz bar from the tv show into royal /j

The "I am thou" thing really got me

Akechi: TAKE THEM DOWN ROBIN HOOD Joker: uno reverse card

There's a cut scene that confirms Akechi is alive after the ship where he goes to the bath house his mom used to leave him at which ends up being a rehab center

Bless you for this masterpiece, I thought it'd be funny (it is) now I wanna cry

Akechi : I hate you Confidant rank up

Love the editing lmao

Yeah this video sums it up perfectly

"This isn't good." Edit: 6:54 hey get out this vid ain't about you Kasumi

1:11 ooh something's not right

Oinka, you are the GOAT 🙏 This was fun! (also, this was inspired by xXMishaxX's original Akechi experience video, right? Pretty cool inspo! I remember loving that one just as much, hahah)

Akechi's confidant route: MC: Akechi and I are pretty closed, can you please keep it quiet? Ichiko ohya: wtf why I'm hearing a p*rnh*b BGM!!!!

trolling akechi in real life is better than in online

my manz double pancaked up on a thursday afternoon

3:56 "Is this your signature move?" *cuts to Yoshitsune*

wait, when is that beach swimming trunks dream?!? 👀

"TWO AT ONCE!? THE WAY I LIKE IT~!" BRO I CANT-

Ohya Is Ryuji Sisters Confirmed

This is amazing!! Thanks for making it!

I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT TALK AT JAZZ JIN WTFFF

Why didn't I get the aquarium invite, Akechi? Did I not ruffle your hair correctly, Akechi? 🥺 Seriously though, he didn't invite me out and I wanna know why. I spent time with him at every opportunity. ^^'

7:47 *Sweating as I look over at my fanfiction*

9:35 "oh wtf I thought I killed that bitch?"

You play on act freely? You're a mad lad

OMG I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT GOING BACK TO THE JAZZ CLUB!
