THE DEMIURGE'S CHOSEN // THE HERO, AKIRA

THE DEMIURGE'S CHOSEN // THE HERO, AKIRA

It's been a long time since I've done a full illustration, I really love Akira both as a character, and because he is very dilfy lol. Please enjoy the artwork and I hope you take the time to pick apart all the little details I've crammed into the work :>

Persona 5 Strikers Monarchs/Antagonists 3/?: Mariko Hyodo, "Snow Empress Mariko" "The Sapporo Cage of Gluttony" "Mariko Hyodo is a character from Persona 5 Strikers. She is a politician and the mayor of Sapporo."

Persona 5 Strikers Monarchs/Antagonists 1/?: Alice Hiiragi, "Mad Rabbit Alice" "The Shibuya Cage of Lust" "Alice Hiiragi is a character from Persona 5 Strikers. She is a fashion artist and singer who has recently gained uncanny levels of popularity."

Decided to do a separate post with textless versions of the Monarch backgrounds I did for my gifsets (except for Ubukata since he doesn't make any appearances). If anyone wants any of them as banners, feel free to message me!

Finally, another person has said it! I love Ryuji so much but my dude... That was poor timing so that slap was deserved (I sure as hell would have done the same if I were in her position). Everything else, like you said, wasn't. I just pretend that the last half of this bit and both the bath house scenes in Strikers just didn't happen. Also, it does get mentioned later in Royal... As a Thieves' Den conversation between Ann, Makoto, and Futaba which is nice but even then it kind of came off as lazy imo (especially when you intrepret them as just cognitions and not the real ones) since they could have easily utilized it in the base game since they ended up adding and changing small details here and there.

SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 5 (SHIDO ARC)

Look, I know most people pointed out that Ryuji getting beaten by his PT teammates at the end of Shido’s palace was garbage. I still thinks it’s hot garbage, too.

BUUUUT, I also wanna pay attention to the fact that Ryuji says a dumb joke about the girls’ crying not being “cute” when he came back from the ship explosion. Like bro, your friends thought you almost DIED for crying out loud. And yeah, I know Ryuji can be scatterbrained at times, but he should have the decency and common sense to read the air. So Ann slapping him was well-deserved.

…anything that happened after that didn’t need to happen, though.
