Honestly, I can still see it (even tho I agree the Wiki is a terrible source in hindsight). Like I have a HC that he snapped at her at one point like Sae did with Makoto in base P5 only to immediately regret it. He tried to apologize but she wanted none of it as it just proved her assumptions correct and gave her more reason to hate him. He then starts to distance himself from her further, rationalizing that it's better this way due to his self-loathing.

Like one thing the game does a good job with is that it frames both parties as being in the wrong in their estrangement. That and we, the player, don't really know what happened back then so it could have happened and was one of Zenkichi's many regrets in life. It's overall a failure in communication among other things (Owada's death threat, Zenkichi's own mental health/state, etc.).

♡ reblog ♡ my additions additions this is primarily based on my own experiences with my dad and mom my husband also proposed that him potentially calling her that may have been the result of him projecting his declining mental state which would be very interesting to consider like (suicide tw) he does showcase signs of being suicidal in the present day to the point of having a special ability that slowly kills hi so with all the stress of Aoi's death and trying to avenge her combined with Akane's behavior towards him... ...And of course raising a child alone with little to no experience... It would have been bound to blow up at some point the stress would have gotten to him to the point where HE feels like a burden to everyone... Especially his daughter who resents him. so him potentially calling her that = projecting said feelings only that leads to IMMENSE regret and in a cruel twist make those feelings WORSE Not trying to demonize either one of them of course! I love them to bits! it's just that I feel that they're relationship is much more nuanced and complicated and neither party was a saint Zenkichi loves his little pup as this dialogue shows but he still screwed up at the same time
