i somehow managed to get all the way to that dialogue and choose “ill hold on to your glove” completely unaware of what the 3rd semester had in store for me so yeah id say its mine aswell
@@tacobrooks7802 I'm pretty sure it's a maxed confidant thing, yesterday a friend of mine arrived at that point in the game without having maxed Akechi and he said Not Bad, even though it was Royal
I think all of the voice actors do a great job in this game, but I have to give Robbie Daymond major points for pulling off the villain really well in this game.
This is so funny, how the hell do you judge voice acting effort by percentages? Like, could you even explain why Ryuji gets specifically %80 instead of %85 or %75?
I’m so glad Royal gave him a manual confidant, it really fleshed out his character and showed that there was more to him than simply the Ace Detective and underling we know, and it’s why Royal made him one of my favorite characters
What's sad and messed up all Akechi wanted was to be acknowledged loved and have friends i mean there is no excuse for the horrible things he's done but he wasn't truly evil just very misguided not to mention manipulated by Shido his own father
Resident Geno Guy did you even play the game,,, even shido admits to manipulating akechi (since he was 15!). and no, he didn't kill people before shido lol? where r u getting this from
marja he killed people in order to get to shido, but that still means that was before he was able to meet him. And where I’m getting from is in this video, 2:31
Resident Geno Guy He approached Shido with his powers, however, Shido admitted to showing Akichi how to use his powers for murder. Akechi only wanted his fathers approval, so he was able to be easily manipulated by Shido.
I do agree he was manipulated to some extent, but cmon. Literally the first thing Shidou ordered was killing Wakaba. After like the 12 or 13th person, you can't tell me he didn't have some taste for it.
If you watch CrystAAHHL's playthough, she was crying during the entire Loki portion of the fight and thereafter. Akechi's character really hit home for her. She said he "Reminds you of that one friend you can't save" and that he's that person you just wanna help but can't do anything because he's gone so far down a dark path.
@@lightningkiki6090 Same for me, but on second playthrough for Royal it hits really hard. I went from hating him to him becoming one of my favorite characters.
First I hated him, then I hated loving him, then I hated that we weren't able to save him. He did so many bad things, he was far too gone. I wish he and Joker met couple years ago before all these mental shutdown things started, then things could've been different.
This boss fight is much more satisfying if you solo fight him alone. Honestly he mentioned it this is where you don’t hold back against him, so in my mind I thought it was only fair this battle and the cleaners battle are solo onwards since you can’t save between them. Lol.
I do agree it's cooler, but it contradicts the story. Akechi is supposed to be FAR stronger than Joker at this point (Although it must be infuriating that he's getting a bit close in more than half of the time for Akechi.)
I remember doing a Arsene only run and oh my god this guy took DAYS because the two shadows in the beginning and the Bless skills. (Note I only used a “Evade bless” for weaknesses)
@@helpihavebats6392I did the same, I made Arsene only able to be weak against bless since every party member has a their own weakness as well. I did make Arsene resist/null Ice though
@@raid--er4083I didn’t give Arsene anything for Ice weaknesses because i wanted to make a appropriate Skill set for Arsene at that level and had no room to implement it. i also forgot to mention it was a joker solo fight with him on merciless (so Akechi would have good damage) Because otherwise the fight wouldn’t be that interesting.
28:21 oh my god, even if he doesn't do this, hes going to die anyway, that just makes this all the more sad. [starts crying in the corner of my mind.] 😭
@@BookofConke that ending was up to interpretation from how I look at it. Its leaving it open for others to make their own conclusion. There is no wrong answer
Great boss fight, but as a total noob who didn’t see it coming at this point I was a bit caught off guard. The Yakuza cleaner guy gave me some trouble and left a mark. I didn’t completely heal and then Mr Pancakes appears
This doesn’t get mentioned a lot, but can we talk about cruel the god of control is in this case? He was the one who gave Akechi access to the Metaverse navigator during this dark period in his life where he was alone and filled with hatred. What would’ve happened if Akechi had never been introduced to that power before we’d met him? Could we have saved him?
Well, without it how Akechi going to become ace -defective- detective? He becomes popular only because of The Metaverse. Without it? I honestly think he's gonna just...end his life path.
I just got through this boss fight last night. I had my thoughts and feelings about Akechi, but now understanding his reasoning behind actions, it really makes me sympathize with him and love him! Not to mention what an awesome job Robbie Daymond does voicing him!
That laevateinn in the end is very fitting after his whole teammates speech. It just shows that having teammates is a good thing; having others who would take a mortal blow for you. It's awesome (perhaps it was scripted)
Actually I chose the other choice "I will hold onto that glove" and still go to the third semester. It's when Joker goes to bed and picks the 2nd choice that the third semester is unlocked.
I believe the only thing that matters for unlocking the final semester is maxing Maruki. If I'm correct, maxing Kasumi and Akechi just has them show up in the cinematic at the end of the game (when Joker is about to board his train and the stinger respectively).
Jumpco1 I may not be right, but I think it *might* be intentional. You finish the shadows with basically your strongest move (to him), so what’s the point in him holding back since you’re going all out?
Its surprising that it doesnt dawn on alot of people, that Rnk 9 is when a confidant takes a mortal blow for Joker.....They handled that with perfection. I REALLY dont see how any persona 6 could outdo 5. But then they have gotten progressively better and better with each one...Here's hoping they dont suicide the franchise the way Square has done to Final Fantasy....
28:48 and that’s where I think akechi fate changes from dying passing on his wants to fighting on but allowing those who are better suited to take down the man he hates
To be fair, a showtime is two of your teammates working together to pull off a powerful attack. That feels like the only reasonable response to Akechi saying teammates are worthless the entire fight
Man this went so long without giving me a chance to save I had to skip all the dialogue so I could save and quit real fast cuz I'm busy. Appreciate the video friend
The first part of the fight can actually be skipped if you reduce the lion’s HP to low, you take out the other one, and you then knock down the lion with ice. All out attack, and phase 1 is skipped.
That awkward moment where you come to YT looking for help on a fight, and the video bears no resemblance to the battle I'm facing. He's wiping me out in several rounds with attacks that do 200+ constantly. And here he's hitting for 70. WTF !!!
If i found out my friend was the reason behind the mental breakdowns and psychotic events that results in deaths, i'd beat the shit out of him real hard first and let him redeem himself afterwards
If I found out my friend willingly offered himself to be an assassin to get close to the man who fucked him over with no reguard to the lives he'd robbed, then I would beat the shit out of him.
27:46 I love the ship announcement voice. Reminds me of Overwatch. They should’ve used the voice to give commands to soldiers in Shidos Palace, when the Security Level is high, for example.
The part that scares me is how many people who can relate to Akechi if they get power. Me, for example. Even the quiz i took said Loki would be my persona
@ovensmuggler5207 Yeah, Ol' Phil and Nyarlo stopped meddling, but their meddling inspired other gods to do some meddling of their own. Nyx, Izanami, Yaldaboth, they never would've gotten involved had those two not made their bet.
When I fought him, it was easy. Regarding akechi tho. The VA :AMAZING!!!!!. The psychotic version of Akechi was.....well goddamn 😍😍. I dont forgive him for the deaths he caused, but I do sympathize with him in a way regarding his past and how his father basically did horrible things when Akechi was young (correct me if I'm wrong, I finished the battle yesterday) He could've turned into a different person had he not commit those murders and spend his life seeking validation from his father. He wouldve turned into a good ace detective, maybe a friend or teammate to Joker, but.....it was sad when he found out that he was seen as a puppet from his father. To make his father proud (in the wrong way), lead him to die in the end. Some parents just cannot have children if thats how you see your own kids. For some, its good because he can pay for his crimes, which I agree with, but I also wish Akechi's path on life didn't go that way or that far. It makes me feel bad for Akechi for the mindset that he has that he felt like he couldn't trust anyone, that he always wanted to be loved, relied on, trusted for once, seeking validation from his POS father, etc. This whole thing is sad tbh.
You know I never could understand how Haru could stand being around to Akechi all considering; and for that matter did also kill Futabu's Mom as well because who else can go to the Metaverse as an assassin?
It’s kind of possible to see it as working together for the sake of the team/mission and some concessions are made like they don’t play darts or cards with akechi in the thieves den. But yeah it stretches credulity. In general as much as I like akechi I find it kind of absurd how much the characters supposedly sympathize with him after he put a fucking bullet in Joker’s head.
@@マリー-v4pEspecially considering they didn't give the same benefit of the doubt to other Palace rulers (which what I actually like about P5S). Nah, they just determine they were born to the world as evil adults. Akechi was the only evil person that has a valid sad back story to make his actions "understandable".
When I first played through this I was confused why his social link still went up despite the fact he literally attempted to kill me right afterwards. Then the 3rd semester happened...
Yeah if you max his confidant and get royal true ending in the after credits they hint at Akechi being alive, never confirm it though. In the game code there is a scene where he is in a rehab centre alive after returning from the alternate reality, but somewhere down the line they must have decided to make his death ambiguous.
Toughest boss in the entire series, i do all my palace in a single run so basically i have no sp left and i didnt k ow there was aboss fight coming, had to use most of my healing items
In the series? Definetely not, the velvet room attendants (especially Elizabeth), Philemon, Nyarlathotep in eternal punishment, the sleeping table from 3 and the baby from 4 are all harder than this in my opinion
I have a bad habit of refusing to use “fully restore SP” items throughout my runs, even if I’m scraping away for SP so I had a lot left and just dumped like 50% of it into this fight since it was supposed to be the last palace
What I don't get is that how did Akechi killing cognitive version of Joker not kill Joker irl if indeed akechi dies here after his cognitive version dies. Is it because they shoot each other?
Essentially yes. The cognitive Joker and cognitive Akechi we see aren't their shadows. For persona users their shadow is essentially their personas. Rather, cognitive Joker is Sae Niijima's perception of him, and cognitive Akechi is Shido's perception of him. Killing just perceptions of a person in a palace won't kill them. We see this earlier multiple times, we kill cognitive Shiho in Kamoshida's palace and she doesn't die, and we also kill the cognitive version of Haru's fiance in Okumura's palace but he is also shown to still be alive. In order to kill someone you have to kill their shadow specifically. Because of this Joker obviously doesn't die. As for Akechi he dies because although killing a cognitive version of you doesn't kill you, that cognitive can still attack and kill you as we see with the fiance in Okumura's palace. Akechi died because he was in an already weakened state and then the cogitive him and a bunch of shadows killed him.
i'm playing to the point that the royal content begins and i'm 'bout to shit my pants whenever he say anything with intense emotions. asdakjdajda this guy's scary af, feel like he could fckin eat my whenever i choose a wrong answer to his dialouge help @@
I've played this fight many times and I have never seen him use desperation XD It seems he uses it after he knocks someone and gets one more, but in my fights with akechi I never used Fox or any personas weak to fire bless or curse, so he's never got one more on me.
He actually has many attacks people don't know he has. If he manages to get a One More by hitting a weakness or a critical hit, he can either use Desperation, Heat Raiser or Debilitate depending on which phase he's in. He also has Megidolaon if you never get rid of his Makarakarn shield. I wish he would use these moves more actively and not just situationally
In the original game there is no hints to him being alive, after this fight he is completely forgotten. In royal there is an aftercreds scene unlocked by maxing his confidant and getting royal ending. the scene hints him being alive but no confirmation. In the game code there is a scene where he is alive in a rehab centre, but this scene was never used. Down the line atlus must have scrapped it and decided to keep his death ambiguous, but the likely intended for him to be alive.
"اسكت، اسكت، اسكت! فريق؟! أصدقاء؟! لعنهم الله! لماذا أنا أدنى منك...؟! كنت مهتمًا جدًا بحياتي، بدرجاتي، بصورتي العامة، حتى يرغب شخصٌ ما في وجودي! أنا محقق ماهر... نجم مشهور! “ “أكيتشي" وأما أنت... أنت مجرد قمامة مجرم تعيش في العلية! فكيف؟! كيف يمتلك شخص مثلك أشياء ليست لديّ؟! كيف يكون قطعة الزباله أحسن مني؟!"
Adachi was a weirdo. At least Akechi had a reason for doing what he did. Adachi didn’t. He felt betrayed by a woman he never even met for having an affair and killed her. Adachi was literally a “nice guy.”
@@dimentioo It wasn't just the woman thing that drove Adachi to attempting murder. There is also the fact that he IN GENERAL felt entitled to success, because he was trying his hardest to become a police officer (for an admittedly shallow reason). However, when the world failed to deliver, Adachi started to believe that it was his lack of talent that led to him not being successful. Sadly, Adachi did not want to face the reality that not everyone is going to be successful, regardless of effort put in, leading to him wanting to take out his frustration on others, which to him was easy because, in his thoughts, no one really cares about Inaba, if someone died no one would bat an eye

For some, its good because he can pay for his crimes, which I agree with, but I also wish Akechi's path on life didn't go that way or that far. It makes me feel bad for Akechi for the mindset that he has that he felt like he couldn't trust anyone, that he always wanted to be loved, relied on, trusted for once, seeking validation from his POS father, etc. This whole thing is sad tbh.
Ace detective huh (remembers persona 3) the ace defective
You know I never could understand how Haru could stand being around to Akechi all considering; and for that matter did also kill Futabu's Mom as well because who else can go to the Metaverse as an assassin?
Exactly, these crimes just go forgotten and unpunished, frankly I think he deserves nothing but the same treatment as his victims.
It’s kind of possible to see it as working together for the sake of the team/mission and some concessions are made like they don’t play darts or cards with akechi in the thieves den. But yeah it stretches credulity.
In general as much as I like akechi I find it kind of absurd how much the characters supposedly sympathize with him after he put a fucking bullet in Joker’s head.
@@マリー-v4pEspecially considering they didn't give the same benefit of the doubt to other Palace rulers (which what I actually like about P5S). Nah, they just determine they were born to the world as evil adults. Akechi was the only evil person that has a valid sad back story to make his actions "understandable".
So he killed Futaba’s mother and it was never addressed at this perfect moment!!
Isn't that just speculation?
@@kingcamelot1395 who else can induce a mental shutdown?
Akechi reminds me so much of light yagami
The fact that morgana talking ruined the whole negotiation isn’t surprising
Right? Mona doesn't understand humans that well
18:58 has the quote “your just pieces of shit”
When I first played through this I was confused why his social link still went up despite the fact he literally attempted to kill me right afterwards. Then the 3rd semester happened...
That was one of my moments i doon won't forget after facing him he reminds what i had to go through and I'll keep that promise to hold on his glove.
I refuse to believe he died, he has ROBINHOOD and LOKI like what?!?? I hope we get a way he can return in p6 or hopefully more milked p5
Yeah if you max his confidant and get royal true ending in the after credits they hint at Akechi being alive, never confirm it though. In the game code there is a scene where he is in a rehab centre alive after returning from the alternate reality, but somewhere down the line they must have decided to make his death ambiguous.
Do you think he could keep fighting after getting beat up?
Toughest boss in the entire series, i do all my palace in a single run so basically i have no sp left and i didnt k ow there was aboss fight coming, had to use most of my healing items
In the series? Definetely not, the velvet room attendants (especially Elizabeth), Philemon, Nyarlathotep in eternal punishment, the sleeping table from 3 and the baby from 4 are all harder than this in my opinion
I have a bad habit of refusing to use “fully restore SP” items throughout my runs, even if I’m scraping away for SP so I had a lot left and just dumped like 50% of it into this fight since it was supposed to be the last palace
If you answer anything other than "Let's finish this," we can be friends.
god i love that scene where he shows loki but it akechis dialogue sounds so much better in japanese
I Would Feel The Same Anger Like Akechi...😣
All that told me is that don't get between Ryuji and his food
7:37 "Fuck you man"?
Loved this boss fight
I just beat this and I’m happy I decided to fuse Thor cause he’s what made this fight easier.
Ironic
I don't think Akechi really understood the situation he was in. Sure he was more powerful than any one of us but that doesn't matter if you get jumped
14:08 I just realized they changed the Dialogue in this scene.
11:45 for the editors that uses this voicelines for his edits :p
Why is it that i'm playing "Psycho" by Puddle Of Mudd in the background while watching this?
14:08 Was that part changed
Or maybe it’s based on the confidont level
Editing note: I do not no how to spell confidont I am stupid😅
@@Pekkas_Pancakes Yeah, a lot of diologue gets added to this scene if you maxed out Akechi's confidant to level 8 before this fight.
What I don't get is that how did Akechi killing cognitive version of Joker not kill Joker irl if indeed akechi dies here after his cognitive version dies. Is it because they shoot each other?
Essentially yes. The cognitive Joker and cognitive Akechi we see aren't their shadows. For persona users their shadow is essentially their personas.
Rather, cognitive Joker is Sae Niijima's perception of him, and cognitive Akechi is Shido's perception of him. Killing just perceptions of a person in a palace won't kill them.
We see this earlier multiple times, we kill cognitive Shiho in Kamoshida's palace and she doesn't die, and we also kill the cognitive version of Haru's fiance in Okumura's palace but he is also shown to still be alive. In order to kill someone you have to kill their shadow specifically.
Because of this Joker obviously doesn't die. As for Akechi he dies because although killing a cognitive version of you doesn't kill you, that cognitive can still attack and kill you as we see with the fiance in Okumura's palace.
Akechi died because he was in an already weakened state and then the cogitive him and a bunch of shadows killed him.
*_*crying in the corner*_*
_why do i have to watch this again_
*fuk it imma read the doujin.*
Oh god
Same
i'm playing to the point that the royal content begins and i'm 'bout to shit my pants whenever he say anything with intense emotions. asdakjdajda this guy's scary af, feel like he could fckin eat my whenever i choose a wrong answer to his dialouge help @@
get out dumbass!!! that line had me crying i could the emotion in it
What’s the music at the end?
alleycat
Did someone mentuon redemption arks?
🥞Pancakes🥞
TheLivingLatios he’s waffle boi now
"Pancakes, I never want to hear that word for a very, very long time."
Akechi: "After all this time, my final enemy is a puppet version of myself, I...!"
Me: "Expected better? Yeah, puppets are kinda weak in comparison"
O Dad issues you love to see it lol
when’s the full game movie coming?
Wrong channel.
19 martincito what? he has full game movies for all the persona games lol what?
@@19martincito73 no it’s not
I've played this fight many times and I have never seen him use desperation XD
It seems he uses it after he knocks someone and gets one more, but in my fights with akechi I never used Fox or any personas weak to fire bless or curse, so he's never got one more on me.
He actually has many attacks people don't know he has. If he manages to get a One More by hitting a weakness or a critical hit, he can either use Desperation, Heat Raiser or Debilitate depending on which phase he's in. He also has Megidolaon if you never get rid of his Makarakarn shield. I wish he would use these moves more actively and not just situationally
There was probably a plan for him to have Ice skills due to the boss actually having Ice Boost and a scrapped line “FREEZE YOU FOOLS!”
Kinda underwelmed that its the exact same fight :(
Alex Cowley that’s a lot of things about royal
@Shacellaneous ye but stuff like sae and madarame's fights got altered and the acctual akechi fight is the same
😱GASP!!!! Goro Akechi Is Going Quay Quay!😱
12:40
Alex Cowley they got it right the first time, so...
@@eravar2831 you're probobly right i just find it boring as a fight is all
he is so hot. my heart is closed for that man

I HAVE A SUCH A GOOD PERSONA 5:AKECHI GAME
Does he die after you say I will remember your glove please tell me I love him I don’t want him to die
There are theories that points that Akechi lived. One and the most strong proof is the final cutscene in the True Ending.
In the original game there is no hints to him being alive, after this fight he is completely forgotten. In royal there is an aftercreds scene unlocked by maxing his confidant and getting royal ending. the scene hints him being alive but no confirmation. In the game code there is a scene where he is alive in a rehab centre, but this scene was never used. Down the line atlus must have scrapped it and decided to keep his death ambiguous, but the likely intended for him to be alive.
@@lightningkiki6090 Simply put, he is currently MIA
Why?? On my game they cut the fight with "normal" Akechi 😭😭😭
When you were there, you had rank 9 with him? If not, thats why. You gotta get his confidant to rank 9 before finishing Sae's palace.
@@Gftttyuuuuuuuyyyyyyu I know it's late but it's rank 8 you get two levels as the story progresses

Is it just me but that place and akechi looks so similar to Light Yagami and that place where he laughs infront of them?
Both Akechi and Adachi (Persona 4) are similar in one thing. They are little kids or brats throwing a temper tantrum.
Adachi was a weirdo. At least Akechi had a reason for doing what he did. Adachi didn’t. He felt betrayed by a woman he never even met for having an affair and killed her. Adachi was literally a “nice guy.”
@@dimentioo still adachi is best boy
@@romanov191 I like both of them
@@dimentioo It wasn't just the woman thing that drove Adachi to attempting murder. There is also the fact that he IN GENERAL felt entitled to success, because he was trying his hardest to become a police officer (for an admittedly shallow reason). However, when the world failed to deliver, Adachi started to believe that it was his lack of talent that led to him not being successful. Sadly, Adachi did not want to face the reality that not everyone is going to be successful, regardless of effort put in, leading to him wanting to take out his frustration on others, which to him was easy because, in his thoughts, no one really cares about Inaba, if someone died no one would bat an eye
