#and i do NOT think akechi counts bc hes not supposed to represent the villains perspective

maaaan maruki is such a great villain and in a game that initially didn't have well written villains
#☢️.txt#the og p5 villains serve their purpose (representations of corruption + oppression)#and theyre not SUPPOSED to be super interesting villains#and i do NOT think akechi counts bc hes not supposed to represent the villains perspective#hes suppose to represent what happens when no one helps abuse victims/what couldve happened to the thieves#(and tbqh vanilla did it BADLY)#but man. maruki. maruki hits so different.#in a lot of ways he pulls off the themes better#bc ofc you wouldnt expect him! hes your beloved therapist whos a goofy airhead#hes achingly sincere at all times. he wears his heart on his sleeve. hes so so so open and warm.#and then you learn that he brainwashed a traumatized teenage girl because she was suicidal.#he fed into her mental illness because it was easier than actually working through her problems#he straight up waits until the last moment to tell joker what his wish was#because he KNOWS thats what will make joker waiver the most#and if joker DOES agree to the ideal world he brainwashes akechi!#but he cant fully brainwash him so akechi is FUCKING AWARE OF IT.#hes so so well meaning but everything he does is a horrific abuse of power#akechi has a deleted scene where he says maruki is just like shido and honestly? go off king
