Pet peve of mine is ppl who genuinely call Akechi stupid. Like yes he makes some Real stupid mistakes & yes he faked most of his "solved" cases. But his wit in Sae's palace is real, & also he's like top of his school lol u can't forget that.
Akechi's smart, he just has a terminal case of Being A Fucked Up Teenager
#speculation nation#of course it's more hilarious to make fun of him for his mistakes bc he wants sooo badly to be taken seriously#which throws his mistakes into stark contrast. a little humility would make it so they didnt stand out as much#aside from ykno him literally sabotaging his own plans. that would screw him over either way#but like with the takoyaki lol. it'd be hilarious no matter what. but if that happened to anyone else it wouldnt be quite so bad#but dear akechi spends so much time trying to seem composed and cool. but he's Not.#and so it's a murder scene when he nearly chokes on spicy takoyaki lmaoo#of course he knows this. and so he delights in paying them back Brutally via the whole blackmailing thing#something else to consider. most of his biggest mistakes were done when he likely wasnt in a great physical state#him using Shido's name on the phone while under high stress#and of course the infamous pancakes line. which comes with the admittance that he had to skip lunch so hes jealous#he's HUNGRY. and who knows what else. probably sleep deprived too bc with his schedule he's Always sleep deprived.#so he wasnt thinking. didnt know about morgana. just wanted to get the conversation done with#but keeping up the Pleasant Facade with small talk is smth he's got hammered into his head#so he says some bullshit expecting it to just be Whatever. and it was what ruined him ❤#so yea he made some stupid mistakes. but still. evidence points to him being genuinely smart too.#it's that high int low wis build guys. he's super book smart. but he is terminally a teenager & not a very wise one at that lmao
