that's what they do in the anime adaptations of persona games like in Persona 3 movie where they really showed Makoto Yuki and Ryoji's friendship like they hangout, go to part time jobs, attend club activities and more. Because that part of the story was when Makoto Yuki is wavering after the turn of many events, Shinjiro's death, Mitsuru's dad died when they thought they just finished the dark hour, it showed how Ryoji made Makoto Yuki feel better or find his way back to his teammates.

@@spicy_shumaiHe did still work a profession. Oftentimes you'd hear about Akechi on slightly different cases, but the mental shutdowns and self-commited cases are what gave him the traction as the Detective Prince.

In the animation: hits near perfect

I think there's a book in the game you can read that lets you use third eye in the batting cages

I love this scene! Keeps up with the theme of Joker and Akechi being rivals - Akechi bats lefty and Joker bats righty.
"Sounds like a plan"
... Gulp 😳❤️
At least in the dub, Akechi asks Ren to hang with me and not order him lmao

Props to the anime for establishing their rivalry well before Royal
*gets slapped in the face by baseball machine.*
This is the part where you're supposed to laugh.
The sound of the bat connecting with the ball comes before the swing.
That it does.
Why did this remind me a lot of L and Light's tennis match
Cause this is a parallel universe
How did he become even *more* cool!?!
Robbie Daymond is talented been voiced by Akechi and I respect that
Ah yes, My favorite part in death note. I don't like sports but this scene was very psychologically important.
GORO" Akechi in a batting cage

I wished you can do that in the game playing baseball with Akechi. You can do the batting cage in the game.
Akechi faces left while Joker faces right...makes sense...Akechi dodges right while Joker dodges left I believe as well
It seems Akechi is left-handed. Interesting...
This was proven in P5R at the pool hall
I'm glad they fixed Akechi's tie. Shit was way too short in the game.
Joker is so handsome I... I CAN'T 😭
Awesome
Even their dominate hands are opposite.
Gonna be 100% honest i had no idea that the batting cages were in the original persona 5

Akechi looks so cute I love him
this is light that death note scene where they play tennis
Akechis hair tho
But I thought L and Light played tennis?
Not akechi speaking a whole 2 other words after he stops talking in the first scene
I didn’t know Akechi was a lefty lol
Soon as I saw the thumbnail I had do a double take to make sure I found a P5 clip and not the Death Note tennis clip.😂
Reminds me that one death Note scene
Damn! They hot 🔥
Akechi is Obsessed with Ren Amamiya
I haven't heard Joker speak this much since Smash & the P5 Dancing Game
He talks more than enough in game
“I can see it” and “there!” Every 30 seconds for 114 hours
I wish I could forget that line in Dancing Star Night where he said Ann’s dancing was “sexy, even seductive.” I wish I was joking.
Which of them would pull a better George Costanza?
Batting cage at night? wow in conffuise
I mean... its not as impactful as Light vs Lawliet in Tennis but.... not bad
So is this the P5 version of the tennis scene in death note?
even tho ive heard literally everyone shit on this anime, as long as i get to see more development for akechi and see my favorite characters i honestly dont care
is it just me or the voice wasn't following the lip movement?

different canonical names, kinda like how the persona 3 protagonist has a few different names
Unfortunately "Ren" is his canon name
Because that's the name Atlus gave to him and Akira the name the first mangaka gave him
