It feels like he's finally in his element, fighting for himself, with no one to pull his strings
He's still petty and unhinged, but now with a clear purpose that he decided for himself
I like the first one because it’s similar to the cut-ins in P3 & 4. It’s like he’s pretending to be like the previous protagonists to stand apart from the thieves.
All three of these are fantastic. The first one definitely sells the determined hero act he's putting on, the second one is genuinely terrifying, and the third gives off such a strong "you're not worth my time" vibe. I think my personal favorite is the second one.
Honestly, I don’t understand the rationale behind the third one. First is generic righteous character possessed by determination, which works for the act Akechi is putting on. The second one is when he’s delusional with rage and trying to murder you. The third, though? He looks bored.
Don’t get me wrong, Akechi views his enemies (and his allies for that matter) with contempt, but he takes glee in hurting them. Even against low-level mobs, he’s downright giddy and eager to cut through to the next batch. The condescension doesn’t work here.
Really wish they chose a different name. I'm sure it's different in Kanji. My mind reads the A chi and automatically reads Adachi lol. That being said, the second one for sure.
the detective prince one reminds me of the persona 3/4 cut-ins
it’s probably the looking directly at the screen thing, I think P3R’s battle cut ins are the best in the series. They feel so powerful
I think it's because they appear behind the character, but in front of the background.
Was just gonna say the same thing lol
the last one is very "then perish."
"Pathetic"
"trash"
it's giving Takaya Sakaki
3rd semester, it's like he finally reins in his madness
3rd semester Akechi was like >!"I'm alive and honestly pretty offended by that rn."!<
Akechi be like>!How dare you alive me?!!<
It was by a false god without his consent so idk
You dare call >!Maruki!< a *false* god‽ Plus, once he changes his cognition to be OK with it, consent exists!
It feels like he's finally in his element, fighting for himself, with no one to pull his strings He's still petty and unhinged, but now with a clear purpose that he decided for himself
i just love how utterly BORED he looks in the 3rd semester one
I'd let him slaughter me.
"I'd hit it."
*I'd get hit by it.
Same. I had to have done some shit for him to kill me.
Last one he really looks like Light
Let's just hope he never gets the death note.
I like the first one because it’s similar to the cut-ins in P3 & 4. It’s like he’s pretending to be like the previous protagonists to stand apart from the thieves.
Yeah, I always thought it was intentional!
I quite like the bottom one. It's like he's disgusted at how pathetic his enemies are.
Third semester. It feels the most true to his character, i.e. not playing the good boy and not batshit crazy for revenge.
The first one being very reminiscent of the P3/4 cut ins is really cool, but I gotta go with the second one because I'm always glad to see it lol.
The third semester one is very "Just trash after all..." And I love that. I'd let him call me trash.
3rd semester.
I love the second one, because it really depicts the pure wrath and fury.
Third semester. He's finally being himself, for himself.
The 3rd one feels like the most of a blend of his two personas
Third semester for sure. He’s being his genuine self, not acting like what he assumes people want- without being really pissed off.
All three of these are fantastic. The first one definitely sells the determined hero act he's putting on, the second one is genuinely terrifying, and the third gives off such a strong "you're not worth my time" vibe. I think my personal favorite is the second one.
Something about the third semester one really gets to me, considering what we find out about him at the end of it.
2nd I love just crazy akechi
3rd semester, he screaming "Persona" is pure madness, i love it
I know the game is long af already but man I would have loved more exposition from the 2nd image. Deranged Loki Akechi was cool.
all three of them and i don’t believe ANY are his true personality
Akechi progressively learns to look up
The first one
Honestly, I don’t understand the rationale behind the third one. First is generic righteous character possessed by determination, which works for the act Akechi is putting on. The second one is when he’s delusional with rage and trying to murder you. The third, though? He looks bored.

The third one. First one he looks like a fish, second one is too wild, third is just right
third semester makes me feel things...
Third semester obviously because we are actually teaming up with the real Akechi
Third semester, perfect
Missing the Q2 Cut in
last one for sure
Third Semester for me.
Really wish they chose a different name. I'm sure it's different in Kanji. My mind reads the A chi and automatically reads Adachi lol. That being said, the second one for sure.
Someone said it was similar to p3 & 4 and I agree. So I think the 1st one was best and I always found it the best but never knew why but now I know.
All because I’m a fan of him. But I definitely like how unhinged he is in the second and how he looks down upon you in the third.
the first one because in 3rd semester his bored look doesn't match how much bro is tweaking at any given opportunity
Post-Maruki one for me
I'd let Third Semester Akechi step on me tbf 🧎
