Gotta love Akechi's logic of "no time for thanks" even though simply thanks would be faster and easier

Akechi at a holdup: "Checkmate!" Joker: "Ima write that down..."

"ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?!?!" "DON'T. DRAG. ME. DOWN." "WAKE UP!!!!!" Akechi please slap me awake you king.

akechi’s voice gets more raspy, he shows his pride and bloodlust, and he throws vaguely flirtatious comments toward joker. i like the new akechi.

Lmaoooo I just remembered that Kasumi wasn't around for Akechi's feral breakdown and subsequent character development. Like imagine missing class for a few days and when u get back the valedictorian is beating up the entire football team.

Akechi, speaks: Futaba: no I dont think you will

Good boy: Normal attacks and yelling Everyday: *Amplified Screeching*

Akechi: "THIS WILL BE A MASSACRE!" Akechi, your true self is showing.

Black Mask Akechi sounds like he's having a time of his life and a mental breakdown at the same time. I love him.

Akechi saying “You little SHIT” when he misses is such a mood

The voiceactor obviously had a very fun time with this character and it just came out awesome

Those 8 slaps tho. It's surprising that Joker's head hasn't come off yet

When you get stuck on a difficult boss 1st try: "Persona!" 3rd try: "Peeeerrsona!" 15th try: *"PERRRRSOOONAAAAUGH!!!!"*

1:48 The juxtaposition of “It’s in your hands.” and the whiny “Dooo it.” was perfect.

Ah yes akechi the feral tsundere content i signed up for

Fake Akechi: Nice to meet you, sir! Black mask: You daughter calls me daddy too

3:28 "Die! DIE! I LIVE FOR THIS" This is why I love third semester Akechi

Its like good boy akechi has all the patience in the world but everyday akechi is just not in the mood for your shit.

"Pancakes-" 😃 "PANcakes...."😠

1:42 I know I'm not the ONLY person who loved this part

2:20 is such a treat. All of the other phantom thieves react 100% different. Akechi’s “H E A L M E” is glorious

Lost it at "tsundere noises" and the continued slapping.

Phantom Thieves: *Initiate the "Hold up" sequence.* Joker: *Negotiates with shadow* Five minutes later... Crow: What's the hold up?

3:15 “but this isn’t you! C A L M D O W N”

2:55 Akechi: **Misses multiple times in this timestamp* Futaba: Crow- CrOw- cRoW- CrOw

Is it just me or does Darkechi's voice in english more terrifiying than the japanese one?

Me when I run away from a fight: "TACTICAL WITHDRAWAL!"

"*tsundere noise*"

4:07 i like how in the Japanese voice there’s a bit of Darkechi in the end of that sentence. also how he change from “boku” to “ore” when referring himself

1:57 Remember to charge your controller.

Enemy dodges Good Aketchi: Very Clever!! Real Aketchi: Piece of sh*t!!

“My skillet exceed yours” “I will bake them” “Taste my wrap” No pancake puns?

"This will be fun" accompanied by Joker's rage is great

i am so glad atlus finally let akechi be feral. his “IM GETTING A WARM TINGLY FEELING FROM ALL THIS POWER” gets me every. fucking. time. also feral!akechi gets a lot more flirty with akira so that also tickles my ribs too.

Robbie Daymond’s vocal prowess isn’t one to underestimate

Harisen Recovery. Good boy Akechi: Slap Everyday Akechi: A harder Slap

2:29 Crow's down- Crow's down- Crow's down- Crow's down-

Akechi: "Ready any time" *one seconds later* Akechi: "MAKE. A. DECISION."

Let me just say IM SIMPING SO HARD FOR THIS MAN

2:36 I believe Akechi is trying to say hurry, help me

everyone say thank you robbie daymond (also, gotta love the subtitles-- the little text saying "he kinda likes it" when joker was enraged killed me)

Video: Good boi vs everyday akechi My head: Crow-Cro-Crow-

2:36 Akechi: You're hungry, help me with the pancakes Joker: Delicious...Pancakes

ooehh i like this, you added many things i missed

3:37 goddamnit dude that was so good lmaoo

3:10 what perfect timing for akechi to say take over with the song

3:14 he kind of likes it LMAO

“This is why l love him. Interpret that any way you want.” -Joker, leader of the Phantom Thieves

They need to make Darkechi a PS4 theme

I live for all the little comments you made xD Especially at 3:14 xD 2:58 Also Futaba saying Crow over and over again lol

Damn, this is a VERY well-put-together video. I never realized how much dialogue Akechi has in battle. You even put in Japanese lines. I also really liked the added detail with the pancake lines.

I just love how violent Akechi is

Good boi akechi: who are you Emo akechi: im u but they let me swear 75% more

i remember thinking akechi had a lot of wasted potential in the original p5 and i absolutely fucking love how they utilized him so much more to the point where he is simply the best character

Great, Lets *CRUSH* them ._. Best one imo

3:19 Akechi: *does a backflip* Akechi 3rd semester: *Jump back lightly*

3:40 OOHH YEEAAHH

1:46 when the extrovert boy walks down the hallway

3:41 Ok now that's just plain hot

I play in JP so that line where he switches to his Persona got me surprised, I remember vaguely the words but then I hear the bloodlust dropping from the second time lmaooo Also Robbie Daymond does a great job of course, he's Prompto in FFXV so I was wondering as well how his tsundere psychopath counterpart sounded like lol. It ain't so different from his screaming in the recent among us live-stream with Zach Aguilar The reason Japanese sounds more tame is probably because Akechi wasn't written to be super mean in third semester, even though video game localisations are of higher quality there are moments where the words I hear are different from what I'm reading. The localisation team may have caused this a little, making a lot of Akechi's lines sarcastic as well because it is funny and that's the style of Western humour, but the voice acting director must have read it as a signal to go absolutely bonkers with the directing HAHA In EN translations Akechi's portrayed as a really sarcastic angry dude, while in JP he just seems so...tired. Tired of Maruki's shit lmfao. But not tired in a bad way, he's just so done with Maruki's shit and that kind of characterisation is what I believe was the original intention...but EN is of course amazing as well and both are executed properly by the voice actors. Voice actors are cool, man. But it goes to show that there really are nuances hard to portray in different languages, so it pushes me to learn Japanese more. Mischaracterisations like this happen everywhere, and it feels so wrong reading the dialogue and hearing the other language's voice actor portray it somewhat differently...it happened with Childe in Genshin a lot, and in rare moments with Akechi in Persona 5. Man, why is Japanese so hard to learn Well, whatever language it is, we can all agree that in EN and JP Akechi saying pancakes that first time was precious as fuck... "Pancakes?" "Pankēki?"

3:18 Akechi: Checkmate Joker finishing Adam Kadmon: Checkmate Coincidence I think NOT

Robbie: so any ideas on how to make 3rd semester Akechi? "Yeah, just imagine that you want to break everyone's kneecaps...including Joker's" Robbie: Perfect!

3:37 HOLD UP HOLD UP AKECHI HOLD UP

"Tsudere noises" Lol🤣! I love how much more aggressive Akechi is, but I miss his "This'll be a massacre" line. It's that perfect raise of suspicion of his values while being hilariously brutal.

0:54 Joker be like: "Let's send them to hell together, Akechi-senpai!"

Shoutout to *tsundere noise*

When you can’t get up in the morning... just blast 1:35 at full volume. Bound to do something.

this gives me a serotonin boost

1:31 Akechi: "My thanks" Also Akechi: "No time for thanks"

Chance my mind but "slap" and "SLAP" is best voice line

When Futaba said “Crow”, I felt that.

Akechi: Aren't you the leader 1 second later: AHHHHHHHHH

Akechi's favorite game console: 3:07

3:14 *_he kind of likes it_*

No one gonna aknowledge(?) the fact he was basically link at 0:50 or so?

"Controller battery low" I felt that

"I'll BAKE them" Akechi, sweetheart, this is not a baking competition

3:41 are we not going to talk about all the little edits ...

1:30 "*tsundere noises*" "My thanks." "No time for thanks." Describing Akechi's dynamic with Joker in only a few short phrases. (◍˃ᗜ˂◍)ﾉ”

3:00 Crow, I think futaba is calling you.

i really love the concept of someone’s persona actually being part of their personality. akechi’s more true self while of course seems more harsh also acknowledges how he doesn’t need to make himself look like he’s above others anymore. Exception with survival lol

You know you’re in deep when you can tell which voice belongs to who without looking.

Resistance break = "Wasting your time" Truer words have never been spoken.

Normal akechi: Hm, pancakes sound good! Me when my parents wake me up at 4 am Akechi: Pancakes.....PANCAKES?!

0:49 Akechi’s best Link impression

Akechi: my skill set exceeds yours! Taste my wrath! Ready any time Feel my power Subtitles:My SKIlLet Is YOURS TasTe mY wRaP ReaDy AnY ThyMe Fill MY PoWeR pancakes

2:18 I really love this: "shiet"

"Pan." _"Pan."_ "Cakes." _"Cakes."_ "Pancakes." *_"p - h a n n n c a k e s s s s . . ."_*

That “HEAL ME” at 2:20 tho

lol those errors "My skillet is yours" My skills exceed yours "I will bake them" I will break them "Taste my wrap!" Taste my wrath! "Fill my power" Feel my power Edit 2: Fear* my power Edit: "Ready any thyme" Ready anytime "Impossibru" Impossible, maybe Edit 3: GET OUT OF MY WAY OUT OF MY WAY (no get) Trying" try "Tsundre noise" tch "You're hungry.. help me(???)" Hurry... help me *that is the taste of pancakes!* just wow edit 4: follow up edit 5: starting turn with low hp edit 6: part 2

"We're still fighting." and "What are you doing!?" Hits so deep with the transitions. 😂

akechi probably had the best character development in p5 tbh

"Very helpful." "Nice timing." "I'm grateful." *Tsundere noises* lmfao this got me. XD

1:31 - "Tsundere Noise" KILLED ME

2:36 he actually said "Hurry, help me..."

Akechi saying I'm done with this is the equivalent of Aight imma head out

Would be cool if Akechi didn't give a high five and leave Joker in akward pose

Akechi is my favorite character because he has the balls to say “wasting your time” when an enemy uses status conditions.

Amazing video as always, but I have a suggestion. Since the voice lines are really fast, it's hard to look both at Akechi's portait in the lower part of the screen and at the subtitles. Next time you should leave the original costumes for good boy Goro and psycho Goro, so that the difference is more immediate recognizable.
