I had a random thought this morning... (SPOILERS for Persona 3, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal Below) But is it really so hard to believe that a blood oath with Akechi would save him from his fate when there's a shit ton of precedent in the Persona series for miracles like this? o.o Persona 3 Portable: Shinjiro lives if you maximize his Social Link. Persona 3 FES and onward, Chidori's life can be saved if you do the right tasks. Persona 4 Golden: Maximize your bond with Marie, she gets to continue living in the human world. I don't think it's a coincidence that only if you maximize your bond with Akechi does he appear in the postcredits. And I hate all the excuses like "we don't know that it's him" because, guys. There is no other character in Persona 5 who wears that outfit. He only appears if you max his link. Why would Atlus tease Akechi's survival, which only happens if you go out of your way to bond with him, just for it to be a rando? They've stated Akechi's survival is up to the player in interviews and that the ending where he walks by is the kind of ending a player who wants him alive would see. And in the Persona world, a strong bond or wish can make miracles happen. You see it with Morgana, too, as his bonds to the Thieves are what allows him to stay in the real world as a cat. If anything, it's a testament to the strength in Akechi and Joker's bond if you have seen it to its conclusion.

I don't think it's a coincidence that when you speak to Muhen on the final day, with a max bond, Joker remembers the glove, remembers their promise, and is adamant that they'll meet again.

This is just a pattern in Persona. A really interesting one. You really don't need a deep, intricate reason for Akechi to live post-Royal (though that can be fun to explore). Sometimes it's just as simple as "a bond can make miracles happen." He gets the endure skill at Rank 10, which lets you survive a fatal attack, and this was only added in Royal. ;)

made this for the tv girl trend on tik tok a while ago hehe (joker’s eyes are heavily inspired by saewokhrisz on twt, their art is beautiful)

If I were Atlus I would capitalize on Akechi’s popularity so much. Akechi games, Akechi animes, Akechi battle royale where you buy in game Akechi bucks, Akechi themed restaurants. Why not?
