Persona 5 Royal Akechi Romance Route (Bi Joker Mod)

[@pastelicious5422]

Romancing Akechi during third semester is so unbelievably cruel to Ren. You romance him because it seems like you've been given a second chance with him, and then you're told you have to let him go. And he wants you to, as well. Akechi seems to be someone that Ren can't keep. So painful I love it lmao

[@starlesscitiess]

OUCH.

[@Nana-strawberryy]

Well that was an ouchie…

[@yamihikarilightdark9]

It’s sad because I also feel like it’s the only time frame time a romance would even be possible with Akechi. It just wouldn’t be right for it to go forward before Sae’s Palace, for many reasons. @_@ This pair is a lot less fluffy than others, but it’s also why I love it.

[@mebreevee]

@@yamihikarilightdark9I like to think that José’s star granted more than the helicopter wish. My headcanon is Akechi is alive after everything because of Ren’s unspoken wish.

I wonder if when Akechi mentions not eating much is a past habit, could that have something to do with growing up in a neglectful foster system? Getting enough food can be a real problem. Excellent video.

[@DigitalStarry]

Possibly, or he is too busy and doesnt stop for a minute to eat more than whats necessary

[@Lautaro069]

so happy that the mod add that detail

[@SoggycereaI]

Absolutely. But if it *wasn't* that, I was also thinking it could lend into the 'detective prince' image that he was forced to have, having a sort of idol diet?

[@hatsunedkaname]

​@@SoggycereaIThis is from official sources I just dont remember if it was a QnA or an interview, but in his briefcase he keeps very little things like light snacks and stuff for when he shows up on TV .ie im imagining some light makeup/a brush-comb etc (dude also says in the metaverse that for lunch he gets weirs looks cuz he only gets an apple so who knows) And the fact that he tried to convince Sae to get actual sushi with him might be related to the fact that he's not good at cooking (this is from the jazz club) and just eats stuff on the go

[@latemporis5430]

It was mentioned in one of the guidebooks that he doesn't get much enjoyment from food. He only eats at famous places to post on his detective prince social media. He also can't cook. As to why then yeah probably due to his neglected childhood. Cooked meals are a language of love, and he had none of that.

[@Lightgirlification]

Akechi: *Doesn't eat much* Just a past habit. Me: *Shouts downstairs* MA. MA GET THE KITCHEN READY WE NEED TO MAKE FOOD FOR THE BOY.

So.. there can be a canonically Bi character, but we cannot date a male character? (Persona 3 Reload, Ryoji) Other than that, Japan while you can't marry another man as a man is more welcoming sort of? Like anime/Manga creators are less homophobic. Example. Canonically, before going to America, 2 male characters of the series Cardcaptor Sakura were dating.
