I normally don’t ask this but I actually spent A LOT of time on this video, if you did enjoy it please leave a like ! I added a bunch of silly edits to the third semester akechi lines, probably one of the reasons why it took so long. Tell me your favorite line :)
9:40 the way he first seemed genuinely concerned about joker at first but then he was like oh wait I can't be nice to him. It has to be one of my favorite lines.
I love the Darkechi lines, but these unused Princekechi lines are hilarious to me. He is trying so hard not to sound not pissed when Joker is messing up.
Likely why they got removed, they just sound too out of character (in the context of Akechis character before the end of Saes palace). Hell some of them even sound like they’re SUPPOSED to be Darkechi lines, like at 1:20.
The venom dripping from Akechi's words is surprisingly more noticeable in the Princekechi nav lines. He's trying SOOOOO hard to not kill Joker where he stands every time he f***s up.
I kind of like it, too, as it shows a bit of what tricksters are like in character, as they switch Personas. Akechi is clearly the same person at heart, but appears to act completely different.
I think its hilarious that he clearly likes joker way more in the lines where he's also cackling like a supervillain and gleefully reducing shadows to ashen smears on the floor. His detective prince disguise reads like a barely contained boiling kettle of rage, where you can tell he really really hates everyone around him and the fact he can't just do this himself the way he wants lmao
What he says: "The security level's increased again. Please exercise more caution." What he means: "You idiots... I've been doing this alone for months! How are you so bad at this?!"
The patience and self control it must have taken Akechi to be so chill and polite through Sae's palace, holy shit... No wonder his Detective facade was strong enough for him to create Robin Hood.
@@BrVendanalso to be fair it’s not like they’d have much reason to concern themselves with her identity at this point, because the palace owner without a doubt knows who she is already
@@Friendlybot9000didn't akechi also suspect it was her palace at some point? It wouldn't have mattered whether they said her name if that had been the case.

Akechi has the same VA as Hubert? That's very fitting, especially for the Black Mask side of him. Hubert's crit quotes fit Black Mask especially well (except "bow before Her Majesty").

Always Wondered Why Akechi seemed less hateful of her than the others. Though She never was a true Phantom thief and actually Agreed with Akechi on not approving of their methods, So maybe he just liked her because they shared common ground.
This is why I wish NG+ let you use all the party members from the start. Obviously it would conflict with the cutscenes but if you're doing New Game+ you're not playing for the story anyway.
Or change your Navi. That was the first time I was sad for getting new party members (apart from getting Akechi after replaying P5, it hurt me too much to see him die again :-;).
@@therandowanderer I'd love to see a Persona game where you can choose your Navigator, like being able to choose who you want to give you advice. I'd much rather hear Morgana than Futaba.
**Meanwhile at Sae Nijima's Palace** Joker: ~ F is for friends who do stuff together! ~ U is for you and me! Akechi: ~ N is for the naïve piece of sh*t that you are! ~
"Joker's forgotten how to summon his Persona!" Joker: "Arse...?" Even if that wasn't intended, it still caught me by surprise. Props to you for making a dialogue video seem entertaining.
Akechi fully expects you to make sure Yoshisawa is fine. The only reason he really cares about Yoshisawa is because she is one of the two allies he has at this moment.
Starting at 9:36; all of Akechi's lines for Joker getting downed are astoundingly solid voicework to me. The way his voice trembles in almost all of them before he (usually) forces himself to be composed again. They all convey a mixture of anger, frustration, bewilderment, and concern that's hidden in various degrees throughout. It's particularly amazing how Joker going down/dying is handled (9:41). The "What are you...?!" is super strained, but it's very quiet, and usually gets drowned out almost entirely by in-game noise. ...And it is immediately followed by Akechi telling Joker to get up in a very commanding voice. The annoyance behind it is very real, but also partially forced because he's using it to cover up his worry. Those two lines almost don't sound like they belong together, but they do. It's just amazing how easily you can tell every single thing about their relationship, and Akechi, from these lines alone. The fact that Akechi seems even shocked and almost betrayed at the prospect of Joker going down tells you about their rivalry, but there's more to it, as well. The way the lines are scripted to showcase that he tends to follow up any display of "weakness" with anger really helps really hammer in the point that while he worries about this person beyond their rivalry just as much as he wants to fight them; he himself is conflicted about it, like he doesn't know how to display it, much less want to.
Those unused Prince Akechi voice lines are great. I can definitely see why they might not have used them though. You can feel the barely contained aggression.
This was such a missed opportunity to put out DLC for Akechi to swap out for Morgana/Futaba a few months after Royal's release. I honestly wouldn't have minded switching Futaba out for him during/after Sai's palace. Hell, they could have made it NG+ only if they really wanted to keep things "authentic" during a first playthrough.
@@SolarArmadillo That's true. It'd probably just be better for it to be a built in feature. Something that unlocks either when you get to NG+ or when the Navi changes. So like, you could change it to Morgana, Futaba, or Akechi.
I love the sarcasm when Akechi says "this one got betrayed by its teammate. I wonder how that feels?" because he's the one who betrayed the phantom thieves lol
Yeah last I checked everyone just says [Thief Name] is hurt or [Thief Name] has low health. I might be wrong, there might be someone else who says HP and SP.
Makes me wish there was a feature in New Game Plus or something where you can change the navigator in battles. I love Futaba but Akechi's lines are hilarious.
17:58 *"They're ALL brainwashed! Buncha sheep..."* The disappointment in Akechi's voice as he calls them sheep makes it even funnier. Also 27:51 *"Oh, i guess you WANT to DIE!!!"* Personal favorite.
9:54 had me choking lmao this is the akechi we deserve I don't typically like dubs at all and I play p5 in japanese, but these lines are pure gold and they have so much... spirit behind them lmao. you can tell the voice actor was truly going wild in the booth
When he’s not being fake he’s such a genuinely enjoyable character with such a contrasting personality to everyone else. Glad to see more of his actual self.
3 things 1. I hate how short compared to other navs we got akechi for 2. Because navkechi was a favorite of mine, Atlus should let us choose navs in future main persona games when we get more than one 3. If Atlus does let us choose, perhaps dlc of previous navs (not sure how that will work tho)
I like the idea of the current game's navigator adopting catchphrases from previous navigators when wearing their game's outfits. Imagine Futaba wearing a SEES uniform and saying: GASP! The enemy...!
@ball.3841 I mean canonically all the navigators are specifically people with extensive knowledge of the metaverse. Morgana was a cognition being basically made out of the metaverse. Futaba's Persona basically gave her a vantage point to see everything. Akechi is arguably the one with the mext experience in the metaverse.
All of those unused lines when getting caught by shadows and the high security level. Really makes you wonder if "killing" Joker was also revenge for all of those fights.
27:13 You know I never thought about it, but this line never shows up. For a "full baton pass" you can only have three with Joker, Akechi, and Yoshizawa. Kinda sucks because the "LET'S GO WILD" is really good
I actually enjoyed listening to these a lot tHANK YOU THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE BACKGROUND MUSIC ANYMORE I CAN FINALLY HERE HIM BETTER HAHA ^_^ btw personal bookmark 18:31 "Daaamn, Joker. You wiped them out!" I just particularly liked this line xD
Akechi being the Navigator was one of Royal best surprises the fact that he came back in his true appearance with Loki that was so fire the first time I played I wish I could wipe my memory to play the game again as my first time couldnt stop crying when Our Light started playing after realizing all Akechi did and he became one of my favorite Persona 5 characters ever
Meanwhile third semester Akechi is “I’m evil and I get to be myself so I’m going to enjoy it while I exist because I will never get a happy ending! We’re going down swinging!”
There’s some small kernel of compassion in his otherwise walled-off, charred heart. Akechi wasn’t always a bad person...there’s bound to be at least a little bit of that left after he’s broken, especially in a game about second chances and doing what’s right even after you mess up. “Joker, if you die now, I’ll...I’ll kill you again myself!” That hesitation? Partially that he wants Joker dead at his hands (“No one can make fun of my sibling besides me”-type mentality), and partially that he *does* care, if only a little. “I guess you could try being nice to it...see if it falls for that.” “Pretend you sympathize with it.” Akechi has barely experienced true human kindness. He grew up in a world in which he needed to sacrifice everything, even his humanity, to ‘win’. Yes, there were people at the orphanages that took care of him, but would that replace the love of his dead mother or useless father? No. Would he feel any less alone? No. In a world like this, Akechi views basic kindness as always being fake, and usually with a certain ulterior motive. The use of “falls for” and “pretend” regarding such instances is proof of that. He doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ of viewing human kindness as something to just be expected. Split personality? No. Contradictory thoughts? Hell yes.

Also 27:51 *"Oh, i guess you WANT to DIE!!!"*
Personal favorite.
13:34 I really feel akechi's true character in this line, perfect
"BOOOOOOOOM!!!"
"Well that was unsatisfying."
9:54 had me choking lmao this is the akechi we deserve
I don't typically like dubs at all and I play p5 in japanese, but these lines are pure gold and they have so much... spirit behind them lmao. you can tell the voice actor was truly going wild in the booth
Saving this
"Two at once... The way i like it!"
You're going to give people ideas, Akechi.
17:13 If this isn't the cutest thing I've ever seen, I don't know what is.
Have you ever heard a man so beautiful you cried
Fr
He’s eepin
Bro is speepy 💀
and why he eephy😂😂😂😂nyayahahhahahahaha
1:53 Is it weird I’m enjoying Goro keeping his cool while being ticked off?
Ticked? My mans pissed af 😂😂😂
@@luckyboy.luca.hes about to summon loki and riot gun the place up 😭
9:54 You could really feel the love through the rage.
When he’s not being fake he’s such a genuinely enjoyable character with such a contrasting personality to everyone else. Glad to see more of his actual self.
I swear I'd replay all of Royal if I could have Akechi as Nav all the time
10:37
yeah akechi I wonder what that feels like
I’ve been waiting for this...
Fatal strike
Ok, now!
You see that shinji?
Exotic Butters
HERE'S OUR CHANCE TO AN ALL OUT ATTACK
17:53: Best line out of the bunch!
When I got that line in game I got scared and instantly recovered him cuz I was afraid he’d do some shooting again
These phrases remind me of the Adachi navigator from P4A. The difference is that Adachi is much more sarcastic and more relaxed than Akechi.
That and Adachi is more of a troll that will still use his joval carefree act whilst being malicious. Akechi is more blunt and rude
15:47 is just Akechi straight up telling the player to get their shit together xD
youve got to get your stuff together. you are akira goddamn kurusu.
Robbie Daymond did us one better:
"Heal yourself... you useless shit!"
This is the most pure Persona channel ever. Take my like for your hard work.
Thank you so much !! I’m really glad you like it all 🥺
@@FazPersona I’m a simple man, I see Persona, I simp your channel
Akechi: heal when your low hp so we arent in danger
Darkechi: *KILL THEM BEFORE THEY KILL US! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!*
Darkechi: Yoshizawa-san's memory is damaged!
Me: i mean-yea..
Darkechi: Yoshizawa-san has been brainwashed.
Me: I-
Darkechi, the foreshadowing prince
Nappa: I get it!
27:16 Listen I've seen numerous of questionable fanart where Akechi is surrounded full circle. So when I hear this line I burst out laughing
Also listen to 19:55 while you're at it
9:22 is definitely what's written on his favourite mug 😭😭😭
Funny akechi lines
17:24 no you calm down akechi
17:49 blue blue
20:57 I love murder
10:37 ironic
Very cool earthbound reference
Ohhhh I get the blue blue thing it’s from earthbound!
Wow! I didn’t think anyone would get that reference!
@@Lilodyssey64 Only real gamers get it
@@TheMasterOfDoooM Fax, anyone who hasn’t played an earthbound/mother game before doesn’t deserve to be called a “gamer”
3 things
1. I hate how short compared to other navs we got akechi for
2. Because navkechi was a favorite of mine, Atlus should let us choose navs in future main persona games when we get more than one
3. If Atlus does let us choose, perhaps dlc of previous navs (not sure how that will work tho)
I like the idea of the current game's navigator adopting catchphrases from previous navigators when wearing their game's outfits. Imagine Futaba wearing a SEES uniform and saying: GASP! The enemy...!
Literally though! I would trade off hearing Morgana or Futaba for navkechi any day.
Navkechi was definitely way more funnier than the other Navs, should’ve just kept Futaba’s buffs and then let us choose which one to say the lines
@@probablyhuman9947 counterpoint: let us have any party member as navi
@ball.3841 I mean canonically all the navigators are specifically people with extensive knowledge of the metaverse. Morgana was a cognition being basically made out of the metaverse. Futaba's Persona basically gave her a vantage point to see everything. Akechi is arguably the one with the mext experience in the metaverse.
7:13 sends shivers down my spine. This is why Akechi is best boy
i love how he sounds a little like a concerned older brother for sumi, its adorable
The line @ 18:31 and then followed by that laugh 😂😂😂
why do I keep thinking damn Daniel-
@@mave_mave DAMN JOKER, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE BROWN WINKLEPICKERS!
All of those unused lines when getting caught by shadows and the high security level. Really makes you wonder if "killing" Joker was also revenge for all of those fights.
THAT DANGANRONPA JOKE THOUGH!
Where?
Edit: I greatly approve of this.
@@CrimsonTy 12:01
Hahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahhhahahahahahahahhahahaha
Of course HE'D show up at the mention of Despair . XD
27:13 You know I never thought about it, but this line never shows up. For a "full baton pass" you can only have three with Joker, Akechi, and Yoshizawa. Kinda sucks because the "LET'S GO WILD" is really good
“Joker’s enraged???
*I kind of like it* but it’s not you.
CALM DOWN”
💀⚰️🪦
I actually enjoyed listening to these a lot tHANK YOU THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE BACKGROUND MUSIC ANYMORE I CAN FINALLY HERE HIM BETTER HAHA ^_^
btw personal bookmark 18:31 "Daaamn, Joker. You wiped them out!" I just particularly liked this line xD
The way he's says Damn Joker tho.........It kills me
@@Full-Dragon-Fairy77 fr tho
Akechi being the Navigator was one of Royal best surprises the fact that he came back in his true appearance with Loki that was so fire the first time I played I wish I could wipe my memory to play the game again as my first time couldnt stop crying when Our Light started playing after realizing all Akechi did and he became one of my favorite Persona 5 characters ever
3rd semester made akechi my favourite character of all time, period. not just in games
His "damn, Joker" sounds so sexual 😂
The unused Prince lines are meaner to be honest. He's more passive agressive.
Meanwhile third semester Akechi is “I’m evil and I get to be myself so I’m going to enjoy it while I exist because I will never get a happy ending! We’re going down swinging!”
10:37
13:34
14:04 (the best one)

17:24 (two in a row)
17:53 (two in a row again)

27:51
"no, *I AM NOT BRAINWASHED!* "
@@catjjcat this is the same guy who drove himself insane to try and kill joker
Akechi: Heal yourself, genius!
Me: *Slowly turns to look at him with nothing but enraged eyes*
"Hey it looks cheerful."
" try and be funny. "
I love how Dark Akechi sounds so excided when he says BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
It sounds like he loves explosives!
He and Junkrat would get along.
"They're immune to curses. So fight with something else!"
Sounds like literally swearing at the enemy
13:34 “BOOOOM”
9:53
The most tsundere moment Akechi's ever had
Can't spell 'assassin' without 'sass'.
otherwise it’s just ‘asin’
You also can’t spell it without ‘ass’. Specifically you can’t spell it without Two at once... JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT.
And without "sin" sounds about right
@@bootlegbobross "Asin" means salt in tagalog. Pretty fitting
And without ass.
15:43 is my FAVORITE edited quote, I seriously lost it XD
1:56 as the level gos up, his anger does to.
Almost like it's Akechi is angry percentage.
7:18 Vergil approves this message
18:43 i always like how the bad guys laugh so maniacally like this its perfect.
15:37 - 18:02 it really sounds like Akechi has a split personality and speaks with himself xD
There’s some small kernel of compassion in his otherwise walled-off, charred heart. Akechi wasn’t always a bad person...there’s bound to be at least a little bit of that left after he’s broken, especially in a game about second chances and doing what’s right even after you mess up.
“Joker, if you die now, I’ll...I’ll kill you again myself!”
That hesitation? Partially that he wants Joker dead at his hands (“No one can make fun of my sibling besides me”-type mentality), and partially that he *does* care, if only a little.
“I guess you could try being nice to it...see if it falls for that.”
“Pretend you sympathize with it.”
Akechi has barely experienced true human kindness. He grew up in a world in which he needed to sacrifice everything, even his humanity, to ‘win’. Yes, there were people at the orphanages that took care of him, but would that replace the love of his dead mother or useless father? No. Would he feel any less alone? No. In a world like this, Akechi views basic kindness as always being fake, and usually with a certain ulterior motive. The use of “falls for” and “pretend” regarding such instances is proof of that. He doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ of viewing human kindness as something to just be expected.
Split personality? No. Contradictory thoughts? Hell yes.
@@acat63
Oh, okay. Sorry!
Love the "wrong Makoto" part hahaha nice!!!
12:02 "Help me Makoto"
(Makoto Naegi shows up)
"Fuck wrong Makoto"
*And Danganronpa took that personally* 😂
