So Based On What I'm Gathering Of Translations Of The Artbook, Akechi's Wish In Maruki's Reality Is To

So based on what I'm gathering of translations of the artbook, Akechi's wish in Maruki's reality is to basically have friends. Like actual friends even just to play chess with... Damn dude! Also hold up, doesn't it mean that this Akechi is the genuine article then? If so then Atlus you just accidentally threw the ambiguity out the window with that omg!

Omg you mad lad! This is so sad but so brilliant! It makes too much sense!

Potentially adding to the tension is Megatron learning about the Metaverse somehow and trying to eliminate OP's Shadow not really caring how it would effect the real one as he would still land a "win" on his end. Also I'm still figuring out Personas for Team Prime since they would turn human somehow due to changes in cognition and to better accommodate their size. So far I thought about Moses for OP and John Henry for Bulkhead so far. Gah I just feel so excited!

Sooooo... This has been buzzing in my head for a while when I was planning out my P5 X TF: Prime Crossover AU but... Techno-Organic (Human/Cybertronian hybrid) Joker for this particular AU anyone?

(And yes, it's inspired by Sari Sumdac from Transformers Animated (another fave of mine) tho probably a bit darker in this case)

One of the things I wish Royal talked a bit more about: I can't help but still wonder about Sumi's family life and how it might have influenced Kasumi's own behavior too. Just from what was described about how she took care of Sumire it seems like she was trying to parent her if that makes sense? Basically to the point where Sumire later perceived it as her being condescending which I don't blame her for really (This was me with my mom at one point). But yeah I do wonder sometimes and wished that the game talked a bit more about it. Like maybe the parents are loving but aren't around all the time due to jobs so Kasumi decided to take up the caretaker role b/c she's the oldest twin and loves her sister so she doesn't want Sumire to feel neglected? I also remember reading a theory that their mother favored Kasumi more than Sumire due to a bit in the flashback that showed their father with a woman next to him in the background during one of the twins' meets and she was prominently wearing pink (Kasumi's signature color).

Idk, I know their father loves them for certain but I can't help but wonder more about their personal lives and how it ended up impacting/influencing both of their behaviors. Kasumi potentially wanting to make sure her sister didn't get neglected and felt loved/taken care of only to backfire badly would be interesting. It could add more context to some dialogue in the Tactica DLC story that implies that the two got into fights/arguments as they got older too.

Honestly, my biggest hope for Hazbin Season 2 is more growth on Charlie since the Season 1 finale is fully starting to showcase that. Namely addressing her methods of rehabilitation and occasional toxic positivity. Like I absolutely LOVE how S1 actually gives a good message about the power of empathy and how her own empathy helped others around her! But on the other hand, I feel like there were some negatives with her that seemed to start getting addressed but got pushed to the side or forgotten about (ex: Her having Angel, an addict, play a drug dealer in a play she wrote herself which was cringey all around). I don't blame Viv at all since she apparently wanted more episodes but A24 refused so here's to hoping we get more for Charlie in S2!

Ohhhh Myriddin sounds so cool as a Persona idea for him!!! This whole Palace/Jail idea is so good I'm eating this up like crazy!

Like the poor bot having to confront everything he had hidden and bottled up due to all the trauma and burdens that was placed on him but still wanting to help others even if it means he gets hurt himself or worse.
