#he discussed his trauma at not being able to save rumi right before tempting joker to save akechi?

i adore Maruki as a character because he's simultaneously the most relatable depressing character that will make you cry with empathy, and the goofiest wettest cat loser in the game like what do you mean youre a licensed therapist and your first response to trauma is to brainwash a girl, project ur relationship issues onto a 17 yr old boy, and then rule the world in a golden leotard? bro went from 0 to 100 so fast??? anyway he's like 30% of the reason why p5r works as well as it does

#maruki is so essential to why p5r works and im so serious about that #maruki 10000% projected his life story onto joker #he called joker the light guiding his research and then his treasure is a torch? #he discussed his trauma at not being able to save rumi right before tempting joker to save akechi? #guys i think the therapist needs therapy #also he's so funny #remember when he sprinkled salt trying to act cool and then it blew in everyone's faces and stung a bunch of students #i love reading fics w him because its a toss-up #some of them call him out for being an insane world-dominating manipulator (valid) #and in some of them hes like the phantom thieves' weird neighbor that they invite sometimes bc he brings nice snacks (also valid) #i love it guys maruki the gift that keeps giving

Too good to leave in the tags, I agree so damn much
