Persona 5 - The Truth of Being Arrested

[@SakuraofLyoko]

I still can't believe a ragtag group of high schoolers figured out how to fake their leader's death just because Akechi heard Morgana wanting some goddamn pancakes.

[@JaspOrr]

Pretty stupid slip-up though

[@drogaeozai]

Pancakes just saved the whole damn world bro hahahaha Morgana's desires are divines desires

[@LucasGaming2oo3]

One of the most powerful moments of the game. I hate it when people say that akechi betraying you and turning out to be the real culprit is a weak and predictable twist. Of course it is. It's supposed to be. The real shock is discovering that you and your teammates knew all along, and how exactly you all came up with a plan to survive being killed.

[@zyibesixdouze4863]

They had also lampshaded it too, with how they repeatedly mention that Goro was instantly a suspect

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

Akira Kurusu not exactly the first half but during the time he was telling Sae his long ass bedtime story which is only a few hours in the time of his game world

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

Akira Kurusu ask the drugs

[@bucca2]

Probably within an hour, Sae says she only has a little while and it's not like it takes a long time to describe what he was doing.

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

bucca2 yeah, Akira telling Sae 80% of the game is fast in real time then. Plus he was getting battered and drugged so 3-4 hrs i guess

[@RisinSunTF2]

most brilliant plot twist i've seen in quite a while. it's nearly impossible for first time player to notice such subtle hint in the pancake scene so early in the game.

[@megaultrasonic]

I noticed my first time, though I still agree it's well done. The bit with Futaba messing with Akechi's phone I never even thought of.

[@レッド-h1i]

[@umbrellashotgunman]

The best part is that even if you did see that part coming (which a lot of people did), you were probably not expecting that the Thieves themselves were playing Goro like a shamisen the whole time.

[@Whithbrin355]

I may be 7 months late, but I do (sort of) have a response to this. If you speak to Morgana upstairs that night, he actually brings this up as being strange, but they aren't able to come up with any sort of explanation. I suppose there are several possible ways that could be spun aside from the obvious, being that the confidant needs to progress with the plot. I suppose it could be explained that since Akechi doesn't know it's not you, but you know that his failure to arrive in your cell means that he's in there killing the fake you could result in some sort of connection... /shrug. Either way, it being acknowledged, albeit by optional dialog, technically does make it less of a plot hole even if they couldn't come up with an excuse.

This plan just succeed because of Futaba who really understands what metaverse actually is... If Futaba's not there, they are absolutely fucked up since only her who understand how "Palace" actually works since only Futaba is the one who "accepts her true self" rather than "rebelling against the odds" when activating their personas.... still wonders how Akira manage to change that interrogation room into a metaverse...

The way Sae escapes the metaverse after the assassination makes sense. However, it's never explainend how Aketchi escapes. Or is it?

Basically the guy didn't even notice that he was in the one :D. After Sae got back to the interrogation room everything changed back into real world :). Those freaking magnificent basterds :D

This is late, but whatever: Once Akechi crosses the entry point/threshold in the hallway, he automatically goes back. That's how it works.

[@kurtdelarosa6151]

Outsmarted a detective? The Phantom Thieves outsmarted a phony detective! Akechi made people berserk to make cases himself. He did so by joining with Shido.

[@jinhunterslay1638]

Still, I doubt the team from P4 or P3 is able to pull off a scheme like this.... ....also, the fact that P5 protagonist can spot Akechi's lie from an incredibly insignificant clue from early game (pancakes) is quite amazing

[@vegasmona]

Jinhunter Slay you just couldn't compare them at all tbh, it's just how they fits into each universe in the end, Persona 5 Crew would not survive if they're in the Persona 3 universe. P5 Crew, since they're thieves they're working as silent and as careful as possible and intelligence is their main weapon for infiltration. P3 main is absolute strength, and durability, and of course a strong will. And the theme for the game is *Death*, Fate. While P5 is their intelligence, stealth, and agility. But if a battle breakdown ever happens Makoto (Minato) would beat up Joker pretty bad coz basically he's overpowered. Just as stated by Igor and how Igor sees P3 protagonist as the most gifted in his own very eyes. Out of each universe and by feats and stats: P3 Protag > P2/P5 > P4 > P1

[@breadf5399]

the one way they discovered that akechi was the culprit was because of his love for pancakes

[@RobotHunter1234]

I was so relieved after this scene because I had realized the first time around when Akechi mentioned the pancakes, and it was bothering me so much thinking that it was a plothole lmao

[@blupengu]

i'll be honest, i still don't really get how joker even got captured... when did it change from the metaverse and shadow cops to real world and real cops??

[@AstralMuffin105]

The cops that arrested Joker were real cops, they were just taking advantage of Akechi's Metaverse app to get to the cognitive world en mass.

[@thatgui88]

AstralMuffin105 why didnt the police get attacked by the shadows ?

[@AstralMuffin105]

We did see that Akechi could influence Shadows, so maybe he was keeping them all back while the cops did their part?

[@littleboy746]

blupengu you're over thinking it, the video explains it all. He is just in that on isolated area. The cop he shot wasn't a shadow, just a cognition of a cop from sae' s palace. Same thing with joker getting shot

[@Lelouchxzero1]

Also Shadow's within a palace only target threats. Look at Kamoshida's shadows when Ann walks in they don't but take her to Kamoshida becasue Ann wasn't a threat. As for Sae they weren't in the Casino and even if they were she would believe the cops are on Sae's side so not attack.

[@Milk_Toast]

Ladies and gentlemen, We got em. 6:51

[@nsoufiani]

There is just 1 bit I don't get. When morgana talked about pancakes and Akechi said he heard something about pancakes, I was suspicious of him straight away. But he didn't know a cat was saying that. When they all meet up in the school festival and akechi is surprised that morgana can talk...why does that give him away? I mean, its a talking cat. He could have been shocked that a cat can talk.

[@l30ng62]

nima I think it was a combination of poor acting, Jokers and monas Cleverness and a DAMN GOOD memory.

[@nsoufiani]

actually, thinking about it...If Akechi can hear Mona, it must mean that he saw mona speak in the metaverse. Not everyone who enters the metaverse can automatically hear mona speak. You must see mona speak in the metaverse first and then when you enter the real world, you can hear mona speak. So when Mona spoke about pancakes, that confirmed that he had already seen them in the metaverse. And at the school festival he just acted surprised to not give away the fact that he already knew mona can speak. That acting in the school festival is what gave him away.

[@kurapikafreecs1464]

Well akechi was hiding in the dark when they faced okumura and when they left he killed him. That way, he saw morgana and the rest

But when they return in the real world the app says "now returning to the real world, thank you etc..." Isn't it happen when Akechi left the Palace? Plus, isn't he supposed to see the near court-building as a casino when he left the Police building? It's the only thing i didn't catch in this amazing plot twist o.o

[@zyibesixdouze4863]

His entry point was right in the hallway. Once you walk past that same place again, you exit the palace.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

If you talk to Futaba after, she said she basically made the malware she installed run a script that would basically imitate a button press and activate the metaverse nav with the latest palace which is Sae's. Since Sae's palace is the exact copy of the real world area and they didn't take the treasure, the palace didn't disappear from the Nav. She basically had access to Akechi's GPS position and Sae's by using Akechi's phone and Joker's. Showing the phone to Akechi means Sae will have to stop to talk to him and show the phone and she used that to time the app.

It’s a cognitive being that died. A lifelike doll made by Sae’s cognition since her Palace was still intact. Killing the cognitive being has no effect on the actual being.
