Akechi Rank 8 thoughts

(I’m going to preface this by saying I HAVE NOT FINISHED THIS GAME. These are my speculations/analyses on-foot and they will likely change!)

His hatred towards Joker wasn’t blind range. He cited Joker’s adaptability. He is aware himself of what becomes of unpleasant adolescence, and empathises with that. Still, akechi cannot process that this is because Joker lets people in despite the trauma and ostracism of his past. Akechi, similarly traumatised, is locked in a cycle of shutting people out. He can only conceive of relationships as give/take. He doesn’t deny his connection with Joker and earlier Confidant ranks emphasise small intimate moments like a game of billiards, a quiet conversation at the bathhouse, a debate at a café. Even then, he only “knows” how to hate Joker, and views him as merely essential to his physical strength - another cog in the machine he uses to defend himself. Akechi’s method is hostility towards others, whether this is the rigid wall of his TV persona (lol) or through sharp attacks. He *knows* that Joker isn’t just useful to him. He calls upon him and confides in him. I strongly believe that - whilst this has been his intention as Detective - he is not just trying to disarm Joker. He’ll sell him out and say awful things, and even still this is the first time in a long while someone has really looked at him.

Akechi is not just condemned to a cycle of loneliness and hostility; he is representative of its infallibility, when all hope in community is lost. Joker’s belonging to the Thieves is testament to his own effort to end that cycle, both in the friendships he fosters with his wounded teammates and in their larger missions targeting oppressive figures.

What excites me is how Akechi’s social link does not end at him confessing his hatred. Beyond the existence of 2 more ranks on paper, he offers a glove, in prompting a duel … exposing himself. Akechi’s vulnerability is everpresent, whether in the saccharine cadence he puts on as Detective or at the sharp edges of his rage. He dares to show Joker a hand to wound. Except what he offers is merely a glove. A token of himself, like his existence as immediate and accessible for friendship is doomed to disappear. As he would have it, Akechi never existed for that purpose. He is to disappear, and before he can do so, he might want others to endure his same fate.

AU where after Akemi figures out Akai is FBI, while Akai is still undercover as Rye, he gets killed on a Black Organization mission (possibly killed by BO if they figured out his identity), and Akemi has to still live in the BO with her one last hope of escape and a normal life and a boyfriend gone.

merry christmas anna! :3 to your last response, i am doing better actually! sorry to hear that you're not :( hope it gets better, but congrats on the job too! i wanted to say i saw your discord status and i told my friend who's obsessed with akeshu abt it lmao. they even wanted to know your recs. idk how i have sm friends that are into be gay do crime enemies to lovers like that, bsd, vanitas, yuumori?? i recently got one of mine too (which turned out to be my first ever fic kekw)

AJIDDH SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE! Merry Christmas and the most beautiful of holidays to you as well, Ling!

I am so happy you are doing better, that’s what counts. And thank you for the congratulations!

AKESHUU HAS ME LIKE. I HATE THEM, I have been reading most fics I could chew on while trying to avoid spoilers since I am still in the middle of the game. The mission, of course, kiiinda failed, but it’s fine, I say. Welp, I am pretty sure they have read most of the ones I am about to link but anyway! Here are some I have read, might come around to this once I actually am on par with the game content:

Closing Speed, Wishes wisely expounded (Fairy Tale AU), Irregular Resolution and Ambiguity Aversion all by Lady_peony. The first and the third in particular are absolute favorites. My usual taste in fic involves long one shots with super pining, forgive me.

I said that, but the next is as a hello. which is short, but absolutely felt.

Then, for some damn reason, for once, I went around eating Soulmate AUs. I prefer canon-adjacent fics most of the time, Persona isn't an exception, but with the spoiler-limiting thingie and just in general the presence of great Soulmate AUs, I dived into these waters. The one where they are meant to be is possibly my favorite among them, followed by Saudade, Missing Pieces and The Botany of Love. And welp, A quick drop if you want the angsty-angstee-angstboom and, of the same vein, Black Bird which I believe is the one that made me start this Soulmate AU spree (and has an amazing little twist at that).

And finally, three very different ones. 701 is, I believe, the first fic I read and follows the writing line of "as a hello." Short one shot, relationship study focused. But it has a way more philosophical, artistic vein, so to speak. Should be the first one I read even!

The second is a knight/prince AU The prince's token and finally, one I am actually planning on reading as of now is an actual Phantom Thief/Detective AU Love and Justice share a blindfold. I put these two together because both have, respectively, sexual implications and explicit sexual content. I am someone who usually skips the NSFW parts, so better safe than sorry!

I find it funny how I said that I am more for canon-compliant but ended up reading AUs. That's what I get for not wanting to spoiler myself, but still loving to get more than what I should bargain for. However, these fics are all outstanding tho and worth a read.

Your friends btw are... incredibly cultured. Like, absolute peak taste. Yuumori, BSD and Vanitas are some of my favorites in general and their ships? Chef's kiss. If your Akeshuu friend wants to share recs as well, they are more than welcome to do so!

AND OOOH? DO SHARE YOUR FIC, I'll be happy to read it! (EDIT: I JUST REALIZED YOU PROBABLY MEANT that you made a friend whose fic was the first one you have read. Ooops, sorry!)

Wish you again happy holidays, hopefully imma adjourn this list once I manage to read more!

Could I pls ask how many Shinji/Kaworu submissions there are?

There's been surprisingly only two Kawoshin submissions.

I haven't actually watched eva but yeah. I'm surprised.

good afternoon I was thinking about cousins!shuuake alternative the whole night because I still can't believe I live in this horrible no good timeline

(please bear in mind that this is my headcanon though seeing how it probably doesn't really correspond with canon it might as well be an au)

if you've been here for like five months or so you'll notice that i support the akai-hondou ties so much, and before this my headcanon was that ethan and tsutomu knew each other because ethan got caught by the mi5 when he's investigating the org in brittain. I was planning to make this a fic and my brain produced high-pitched noises when i tried to write that scene, so i concluded that No. this won't work

and then when I was brainstorming with my sister (it's more like we're ranting tbh) i thought about hidemi-akai's and eisuke-shuukichi's resemblances, and THEN one post of @masterdetectivexx 's came to my mind!!! I paraphrase here that mrs hondou is akai tsutomu's sister, and that ethan met her because tsutomu was a cia agent- but now that we know tsutomu was an mi6 agent instead, i will offer you one alternative:

mrs hondou actually worked for the org.

LIKE ive been wondering for ages how did ethan met mrs hondou because this is the guy who's been investigating the org for three years before his marriage and only visited his family once a year after. my guess is that she provided ethan information on the org and probably about this project she's working on and yes you guessed right! the aptx4869 itself.

i say this because what vermouth said to mary on that bridge at that time; "how does it feel to die of your own sister's creation?", suggested that mrs hondou was involved in the making of aptx. so yeah. she's one of the organization's scientist, and was also ethan's intel, until they fell in love or whatever

i am still thinking about the reason why the got married because I feel like it's an important plot point but i haven't figured it out yet maybe I'm gonna at the end of this post lmao

but yeah they eventually got married and had hidemi not long after. now here things are getting kinda sketchy because

if mrs hondou married ethan 27 years ago, had a kid, still continued working until like ten years later (since she eventually worked for that rich family), the org must've known about hidemi too and now that they know that ethan was a noc, seeing someone who looks too much like his kid would've pretty much decided hidemi's fate, and the hondous sending her to the us would be pretty sus because like... why

THAT'S how i came to the conclusion that maybe mrs hondou was trying to find a way out from the org, and in return would give ethan any information she'd got on the organization

(HOO BOY THAT DO BE SOUNDING A LITTLE BIT TOO FAMILIAR)

so. she had worked as a bo scientist, and escaped with ethan's help.

THINGS ARE GETTING DARKER HERE LADS HERE WE GO

so mrs hondou was basically a traitor right. I was rereading clash of red and black and not only does that arc raise more questions than answers, it also gave me some horrible ideas :D

so there at the mother's memento case, eisuke said that his mother died ten years ago. and it's not only his mother's death that happened ten years ago! :D

ethan also started infiltrating the org deeper on that very same year.

damn me to hell for thinking about this fucked up thing but yeah it's not entirely impossible that ethan killed his own wife.

LIKE the cia as we know it has been investigating the org for at least seventeen years at that time and there's probably been barely any progress on their investigation and they're getting desperate and ethan, knowing that the org was hunting his wife down to the end of the earth MIGHT just think of killing her to gain the organization's attention.

christ this is horrible i need to lay down for a sec

(oh also another parallel: both ethan and hidemi killed a family member and gained the org's attention, though the latter was done on purpose.)

but hey tsutomu and mrs hondou being siblings doesn't explain why hidemi and ethan and akai didn't seem to recognize each other when they're in the org??? i thought the same too until i remembered ethan and tsutomu and mary all worked for an intelligence agency and I assume they're not gonna tell their kids about their crime-fighting-behind-the-shadows(-sometimes-we-also-do-the-crimes) uncles and auntie

and about mrs hondou, she did work for the org but like i guess there's nothing too suspicious for tsutomu and mary? since it seems like only seventeen years ago from the current timeline that they're aware of the bo

maybe the reason why ethan and hidemi didn't recognize akai and vice versa was because. like. there really wasn't that much photo of his uncle and his cousin at his home (if there's even any), and though hidemi eventually knew about rye's real identity, i think I'm gonna go with ethan and mrs hondou telling her (and eisuke too probably) only tsutomu's alias, hence why she didn't recognize him as her cousin or anything because

even if akai's cover has been blown for two years and hidemi investigated it just to make sure, she'll only be provided with the name akai shuichi, and not the name her parents told her.

also like it's possible that they never really crossed paths in the org

though. I think akai might recognize ethan when he saw the picture eisuke took accidentally from one of the photographs back in his home or something, and remember that we still have no idea how akai knows for sure that ethan hondou was a cia agent.

I thought that since akai is assigned to investigate the org he might have an access to the files of investigation, the kouji case included, wait i haven't explained what my hc about this case is have i jfjdhfh the main thing is that the fbi+cia noted that there might be a sort of meeting between a haneda and someone from the org. so like i thought akai might found out about ethan from that file but when I think about it... it's not like they're gonna put their agent's name on paper BUT there is another solution! which is!!

akai asked mary about him!!!

it's something like hey mom found a pic of uncle ishikawa while investigating, care to explain what's going on? or something

oh and vermouth telling mary about dying of her sister's creation means that she actually knew about mrs hondou and the akais' familial ties (bc unlike ethan with his fake identities mrs hondou was just a scientist and tracing her family tree shouldn't be that hard), which means.

she probably also knows about mrs hondou's kids.

eisuke, most likely, since hidemi spent most of her time in the us (conan and heiji had difficulties trying to track down her history, whether it was about mizunashi rena or hondou hidemi) (also. like. she's a secret agent)

though vermouth must be familiar with the name hondou hidemi. the org is probably on the lookout for her since she's 27 now and hasn't been seen since ten years ago and so they assumed she also gets involved with the black org

but this is probably limited to vermouth's knowledge only? because if she knew about mrs hondou and her husband which turned out to be a spy, and eisuke is still alive even though he's rather easy to track, that means she hasn't told the org about this information

also if she's bothered to investigate, she'd find hidemi's pic and so that's how vermouth came to the conclusion that rena is a mole

the person taking care of eisuke being tsutomu would seriously be so funny because that means tsutomu wasn't ignoring eisuke's investigation. hes encouraging him

i mean like mary is doing exactly the same to sera. this is totally something an akai would do fjfjjdjfjf

oh and. hahah. the parallel between rena and keynes' quotes became more painful because speaking of sacrifices ethan didn't mention to her, he must haven't told her about the true nature of her mom's death.

man how cousins!shuuake denial has brought me here...........
