How can I be so sure?
At a crossroads, I'm afraid too
But I can't let fear get the best of me
Someone once said, "Burn my dread, babe"

> "How about these fish, huh?"

Koromaru: Bark, bark, bark!
Akechi: I see. So should we make our way east now?
Ken: ......!
> "You can understand him?"
Akechi: Oh, no, not really. I just sort of pictured him saying that.

Maruki: The relationship you two share is very unusual... A detective and a phantom thief. Despite being enemies, your relationship isn't based on hatred or ill will...
Maruki: That's why I found it so tragic when I learned what happened in Shido's Palace...

(I chatted with Akechi for awhile...)

Akechi: I expected that would be the case. Our other trials have been rigged as well, after all.
Makoto: So you sent Joker in knowing full well the possible dangers!?
Akechi: I simply had faith in his skill. And to be honest... there was no other course of action available.

Morgana: A detective's intuition, huh? We shouldn't underestimate that. On the other hand, there's an awful lot we could learn from him. If he contacts you, try hanging out with him.

(It feels like I was able to touch Akechi's heart!)

Maruki: Say, Kurusu-kun... Didn't you regret how things ended with him?

Energetic Student: I wonder where Akechi-kun went. He hasn't been on TV at all since the start of the year...
Calm Student: Yeah, it's worrying that there hasn't been any word from him. There are even theories circulating online that he's dead...

Ren: It's no fun to lose all the time, right?

Haru: *gasp* The "special" one!
Akechi: Let's just call this my performance fee.
Ann: But—
Ryuji: It's fine.

Luca: Yeesh, I was just making conversation, not trying to start a duel!
Kasumi: Wow! You're both really fired up over this, aren't you?

Akechi: *laugh* Yoshizawa-san, ever the popular one.
> "Getting jealous?"
> "Does that bother you?"
> "Oh, you'll live."

RANK 3: You helped him escape a close call with fans of the popular high school detective.

Ren: 'Proof of justice'. Do you know anything about this phrase? Did Akechi say something like it before?

Maruki: I suppose it's more accurate to ask, "Do you two gentlemen have any doubts?"
Maruki: You're here, aren't you? ...Akechi-kun.

Akechi: Then... perhaps "Karasu" will be best for me. You know, like a raven.
Ryuji: ...Are your clothes all black or something?
Akechi: The reverse, actually. If our code names are to hide our identities, wouldn't that be better?

Morgana: You completed Featherman Seeker. Pigeon became a Phoenix Ranger after all, didn't he...?

A high schooler heralded as the next Detective Prince, codenamed Crow. He initially opposed the Phantom Thieves, but later joined the cause. Many have been charmed by his easygoing, affable demeanor, and debonair looks.

Akechi: Sorry, what was that? I missed it.
> "Go for it, Akechi."
> "Trying to weasel out of this?"
> "It's showtime!"

Energetic Student: You can't believe everything you see online. After all, the Phantom Thieves were just an internet rumor, right? If Akechi-kun is all right, I hope he'll show up on TV again...

Lavenza: Time itself cannot be rewound, but every past event will revert to the event that should have occurred instead.
(What should've occurred instead...)
Lavenza: ......
> "What will happen to me?"
> "What happens to Akechi?"

Akechi is glaring at Joker...!

Muhen: Huh? But I remember when the two of you came here last. It was rare to see him with another person.

Kasumi: Oh, that was a joke! You really got me there. I mean, we all know Akechi-san's a bona fide member of the Phantom Thieves!

Yusuke: So, Ren's incarcerated and Akechi is...
Yusuke: I thought I'd braced myself for the decision we made, but... this truly is a harsh reality.

Ken: Koromaru's a smart dog, so he can pick up on that kind of stuff. He was really worried about you, so that must mean you...
Akechi: ......

Luca: Here I thought you were some heartless, hyper-rational bastard...
Akechi: Well... I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.

Akechi: A shame I don't have glasses like you. Maybe I would have been able to get out of this situation.
> "How about we find out?"
> "Come here a sec."
Akechi: Huh? Hey, what are you—!?
