Persona 5 Royal’s decision to take him out of the fridge just makes it worse: instead of using his new month of being alive again to start to smooth things over with the rest of the team, he just… does not care that he caused harm to others and the audience, somehow, is expected to respect his strong will to stand by his decisions. But no, he stands by what he’s done to the end and his only regret is that he allowed himself to be manipulated by Shido. It’s just that I think that, at the very, very least, they should regret their actions in order to justify such a reaction from the protagonists. But, by expanding Akechi's character in Royal, they did unintentionally give fans a full-fledged romantic relationship between Joker and Goro Akechi. It’s not that I don’t think villains can be redeemed. Goro Akechi, Joker's Unofficial Boyfriend Atlus may never give players the actual chance for Joker to date male characters in Persona 5, or any other spin-off and sequel games. This, I consider an absolutely unforgivable flaw in the writing, as the team includes not one, but two people whose parents he killed- with one murder setting off a plan to intentionally ruin Futaba’s life. His final scene in the original storyline of Persona 5 is the biggest offender- after absolutely no effort at redemption or even remorse on his part, the entire team simply forgives him and asks him to join them. The heinousness of his crimes add more weight to the cruelty he suffered, because what in the world could motivate a fifteen year old to commit murder and willingly destroy another child’s life? One day, he gets the Death Note, and with it, he decided to use it rid the world of criminals and become a god. In essence, his character is meant to show the tragedy of how those who are traumatized by the system are isolated from help and one another. akechi battle death goro light note persona yagami 5 My, aren't they similar On the left corner is a genius student who sees the world rotten because it's filled with criminals.

Akechi fell to the desperation of his situation, while Joker went on to fight for the sake of his friends, and by extension, others who were also victimized by the system. Goro Akechis school uniform consists a white dress shirt, a tie, a light colored button up jacket, and dark dress pants, a la Light Yagamis in Death. The game demonstrates that this one difference- solitude or companionship- makes all the difference between a hero and a villain. The only difference is that Joker managed to find like-minded souls to share this power and responsibility with, while Akechi remained alone. The beginnings of their stories are very similar: both are dealt unjust hands by an unsympathetic system, then abruptly given an incredible power to influence others. The thing is, he’s written as a foil to Joker in order to drive home a major theme of the game: the importance of human connection in an unjust world.
