Fun fact about Akechi's code name I never see anyone else notice, but the English word "Crow" is pronounced like "Kuro," which is the Japanese word for "black." They're telling you right away he's the guy in the black mask lol.

In Akechi’s rank seven (1:16:16), he talks about balls striking unrelated objects. Akechi is revealed later on to have had a goal in mind, and he did so many terrible things to achieve that goal. The Phantom Thieves were in the way of Akechi getting what he wanted, so he had to do something about it. Balls striking unrelated objects. I believe that these lines were Akechi’s way of apologizing to Joker for what was about to happen. Notice how he also has his sad portrait when he’s talking about this. It’s so effing sad.

Maruki saying he'll keep on rooting for our best lives even after he's long gone just hits me so hard since Billy Kametz death.

Another great day with a video like that. Interesting to see that you have very similar reactions and theories about the everything to my playthrough. I'd guess you are also an introverted and feeling type of personality. I really enjoy your content, please never stop.

[@krunchler]

[@ikarikaoka]

Do you have a KZbin channel that publishes these videos in full? There is an audience for this. I know there would tend to be dozens or hundreds of "parts", but the game is huge and that wouldn't be unheard of. I don't use Twitch, but I think it would be interesting to know the gameplay without the presence of edits. Or rather, it could remove the battles (with the exception of Bosses in palaces or unique events, perhaps), as there are several moments in Joker's daily life that it would be cool to check out. This includes important or memorable moments from the plot itself.

1:45:53 A fun fact, even though in the final game Akechi doesn't have a Palace (because he's already a Persona-user), in the original game there WAS unused text for Shadow dialogue referring to "Lord Akechi", implying he was planned to have one but it got cut before any development really was done on it.

[@storm7870]

1:19:09 Morgana actually leaves the bag when hanging out with all of the confidants, not just Akechi, I'm pretty sure he mentions that he'll leave Joker alone just after you accept for all of them. I know I've definitely seen it for other characters.

[@TangoZulu85]

"Akechi has daddy issues?" Ryuji: abusive dad who's gone. Ann: family alive but always away (probably most well adjusted). Yusuke: actual dad unknown; adoptive dad harmful. Makoto: dad's dead. Futaba: had no dad originally, then abusive dad, then good dad but only after the damage was done. Akechi: dad abandoned his mom. Haru: controlling and dismissive dad. This is "Daddy Issues: The Squad", now available on Playstation and PC.

[@SentientPotatoXIII]

Futaba is the best character

Thanks for reminding me how much I love this game and letting me relive it with you! I adore watching new people experience media I love. And amazing editing!! Must have taken you ages to comb through the streams.

[@theevilgood]

I always think it says a lot about people who start shipping Crow and Joker. It means you gravitate towards a psychopath who is lying to you from the outset and is actively trying to manipulate you. 😂😜 Jokes aside I really like Akechi, especially in Royal. He is still a bad person, but we get to see the cracks in that facade where he's just an immensely fucked up kid whose trauma prevents him from forming the kinda of bonds joker drives literal power from

[@theevilgood]

Oh man I hadn't watched the full video for my first comment. She goes IN on this bit. Every other character when Joker effects them on a deep personal level: Aww that's so wholesome! Akechi in the exact same circumstance, but he's actively trying to get you killed: GAY! Like god damn even when he's literally telling you that he despises you she just can't drop the ship

[@charlieg4460]

This was amazing! lolol You're face when Akechi was explaining the additional coins in Sae's Palace 😂

[@sarafontanini7051]

The okumura boss figth is the worst one in the game. No super cool boss form, no interestign symbolism or creative design, hell you don't even actually fight Okumura directly. You jsut fight waves of enemies you've ALREADY fought throughout the dungeon, with Royal only adding a fight against a cognitive version of Haru. And the random time limit is bullshit, especially when you consider it makes no sense as to what its even supposed to do with anything.

[@terroriser.1022]

Akechi: "My father abandoned me and my mother. Threw her away like she was trash. I was left to pick up the pieces, watching as she whored herself out every night just so we could have enough money to live. It's filth like him that gives me my righteous sense of justice."

1:52:50 "Remember when he hated Joker?" Sojiro felt sorry for and wanted to _help_ Joker from the beginning, else he would never have agreed to become his guardian.. But he was afraid that he'd made a mistake and was potentially creating a situation that could harm Futaba. And that worry manifested as hostility. My closest friendship came from this insight.

1:55:50 Akechi is actually 18 in this game (same as Makoto and Haru, the rest are 17 except Futaba who is 15). I didn't learn that until I played Q2, uh...

[@mayraaguiar5983]

You got two Rights Futaba 15, Akachi 18 but not others Makoto 17 and Haru are 17 not 18,Ann16 , Ryuij 16, Yusuke 16,Akria 16,New girl she 15 same age as Futaba

[@DenkiRay]

@@mayraaguiar5983 I got right all of them, technically. Makoto's birthday is in April, so by the time she appears on-screen, she is already 18. Haru on the other hand, since her birthday is in December, is true that she is 17 when the player meets her but she's still 18 before the end of the game. Similarly, altough Ryuji, Ann and Yusuke certainly all are 16 when they first appear, all turn 17 during the course of the game (Ryuji on July, so he is already 17 in this video, Ann in November, so before the end too, and Yusuke in January, which means in this version we "get" to that point). Ren doesn't have an official birthday date as far I know, but I would assume he is the same age as Ann and Ryuji since they are in their second year. A fun fact, Akechi's birthday is June 2nd, so when the player first see him in June 10th if I'm not mistaken, he just turned 18. The only ones who never get to celebrate their birthdays are Futaba and Sumire (February 19th and March 25nd respectively, both pass the start of the game and way after Royal's segment is finished).
