I was hoping for that too when I saw him as Black Mask in the trailers

My only reason as to why he couldn’t is because it’s would naturally make him much better than all other party members kind of giving you no choice but to use him against harder bosses like lavenza

@Fin the Guardian Sumire seems to have been specifically built to fight Lavenza, as she makes that battle tremendously easier during the crit phase. As for Akechi... I'm not quite sure? I can't exactly tell what his niche is supposed to be, especially with Rebellion Blade (Maruki and Azathoth can't be knocked down).

Honestly? Outside of being another bless user on the team there's really no need for him to use Robin hood since Loki has better skills anyway.

@@AshTheGreat1998 Robin Hood was the the same thing, but with bless and insta-kill skills.

Same

@@yunarukami14 just wait, there’s no way that Atlus is done milking Akechi content. There’s probably going to be another spinoff that has Akechi or Scramble might have Akechi and Yoshizawa dlc

It's a prequel and you play as Akechi causing mental shutdowns

@@auraemerald8434 I would play that

P5AG is real, and I'd do anything.

Indeed he is

When Goro devoured the pancakes of knowledge, he sealed his fate, entrusting his future to the cards

Mine is that he did it as a final "fuck you" so nobody is allowed to be happy

@@the_antag0nist841 BRUHHHHHHHH.

That’s kind of sad actually

@@Plasma476 everything about akechi makes me sad so naturally i agree with you

@@the_antag0nist841 this is an Akechi thing to do…

I’d watch that

Yes

I can't believe I knew what you'll say before I even pressed "read more"

Or you just ordered the last pancakes and then you hear “KILL THEM HEREWARD”

Mf, I'd get in the coffin by myself 💀

Or worse, you hear his laugh.

The phantom thieves: outstanding move.

Damn, I really hope that's where they take his arc going forward

@@archivist_13 akechi is dead in the true ending, so? Uh?

@@zekanark943 idk man, fictional death is notoriously bad at being permanent

@@zekanark943 i don't think it's the question if royal is canon but if strikers is canon.

​@@zekanark943it's definitely not, there are technically 2 "true endings". Depending on how you answer the question whether you want to duel him again or not (when you're in your room on your bed)

Look at their outfits, this is clearly their wedding.

Akechi: "...Who gave me these pancakes?!"

Frisbee style 😎

@@NicoTheCinderace followed by “i should have eaten them.”

Akechi: "You piss me off!"

I don't think Akechi can use Loki or Robin Hood anymore now that they've fused into Hereward, but Hereward inheriting both Robin Hood and Loki's skills would be badass.

psl I mean it’s not really that they fused it’s more that Loki evolved . Because think about it we see the first personas for the other characters even though they evolved past that. So it’s possible akechi can still use Robin Hood considering he is a wild card in fact Loki It’s supposed to be strong to light and darkness but of course don’t make them too op so they just made him weak to bless as a party member

@@aresrivera9744 He'd have to resummon Robin Hood from the compendium though, which he can't cause he doesn't have access to the Velvet Room.

psl I mean we don’t know if he lost it or not as Through the other characters in their persona just evolved so why would his two personas fuse. It’s possible he still has Robin Hood but we’re not allowed to use him because as I said balancing . And akechi Does have access to The velvet room as all the other phantom thieves do he even met Lavenza

@@aresrivera9744 The Phantom Thieves can't enter the Velvet Room by themselves, only Joker has the key. Also, what are you talking about? All of the Thieves fuse their Personas.

HEREWARD!

KILL THEM HEREWARD

"That should do" *Debilitate sounds*

"I'll break them...."

You misspelled “Thief.” 😂

Yes tho

Yo imagine joker talkin to someone about akechi,”dude he really wanted hereward to fucking kill them”

you've got me laughing so hard bro i literally can't

I thought we all knew that lol

Hacks probably.

Wait, sleeping frozen? You cannot inflict 2 ailments at the same time. It would be better to put her asleep, tho. Since rebellion blade is not a physical damage so the frozen ailment would do no effect on the value of damage.

Robbie daymond for you

😂

finally, someone says it

Robin Hood's thickness combined with Loki's angst. We get the ultimate angsty, hefty boi.

@@inplane9970 ngl Hereward can Rebellion Blade me 😳

@@von.deezy1 what

You are taking his life either way, in Maruki ending You are basically removing his free will and forcefully make him good Prince Akechi, while he stated to You that he would rather die than life like that Atleast in True ending You can see him for a brief moment

Who's to say he *didn't* attempt it off-screen? At the very least it would explain the personality shift *back* into Detective Prince, despite how much he loathed that side of him (and it's not like Joker would've wanted *that* with how much he accepted "Everyday Akechi" up to that point). He might have looked into the ending camera with Joker, but there's nothing saying Maruki didn't tamper with him too like with everyone else's wishes (especially behind Joker's back). It fits uncomfortably well with Maruki's in-battle dialogue with him where he's pleading with Akechi to agree so "he can atone."

While Loki has a much better design on a baseline level, Hereward the Wake is perfect for Akechi as a character. Both have their strengths.

"can i join too?"

yoooo Tevin, it's probably obvious, but I love your vids! Keep doing your thing, Persona-related or not!

Took me 2 hours for just PHASE 1

your team composition's garbage, all of you

@@user-ts6yl2by2t ^

My fight took about an hour while getting all of the special dialogue lmao

The rest of the thieves also did that, the only difference is that akechi could use robin hood AND loki, while after the others evolved into a new persona they couldnt use the old one until both their personas fused

ya, they do, and vice versa

@@bainz thanks for replying I was curious about that for a while

Dam that would make the black mask boss fight harder

ooh, I wanna try this now

It’s barely a headcanon, honestly, it’s totally hinted at in the game, especially Royal.

@@eclecticspaghetti point. i wonder if that means that akira/ren/our protag can have a third awakening?? or would that just be fusing arsene and raoul in the velvet room? or is it satanael?? no idea

@@lacamorte He has a third persona, Raoul, but it’s behind a paywall. I’d imagine it being awakened at around the same time as Hereward.

i wish we got a third awakening automatically, maybe after getting all the other third awakenings or somrthing :C that'd be so badass

"Except futaba"

@@airbornezombie7655 she simply realized that her mom's supposed to be dead and then decided to help the others

He did atone. In this timeline he helped prove the value of moving on and deciding for himself. The thing he never got to in the real world. Maruki did indeed give him the exact world he desired.

But it is easy

That’s what I like about the third sumsester. Maruki gives everyone, including himself, exactly what they wanted

no he has the tevlev room

And who cates about busted teammates anyway? It’s a single player game and you can only use 4 at any given time

Its just you.

Probably not, cause she only gets the base skills, nothing else (rest can get new ones from jazz club)

I think every character can more or less do it, Sumire has a similar situation to Akechi, use Kougaon instead of Eigaon on the Curse/Bless-weak tentacle and the Magarudyne accessory, and you're done, just use Masquerade instead of Rebellion Blade on Azathoth. Of course, increase stats as much as possible to make it easier

@@elmina9403 let's just hope bainz is up for this challenge

Yeah the changes carry over

ranked him up when he joins in Nov and Jan, they all carry over

You could rank his baton pass during Sae's Palace and the rank will be carried over to the third semester. And Yes, party's stats increase(not sure about Hp and Sp) will be carried over to the next ng+.

holy shit yall

that was Makarakarn off Akechi

Oh

Attis + Agathion

Thanks. Gonna have to try that fusion whenever I run through the game again.

Yes

It will block it like if it is nullified
