I'm not sure if I believe the "Wakaba Isshiki did unethical experiments" theory in the fandom, but I do think this is the biggest proof of it in-game:

Because how the hell would she know that?

The first explanation is that she did experiments by sending people into palaces and then testing what happens to them if the palace collapses. Which is messed up for obvious reasons.

The second explanation is that she did NOT test it, meaning she was just making shit up. Which is funny but also would make her a terrible scientist. This explanation is less believable because everything else about her research is too accurate.

There's also a theory that Wakaba did unethical experiments on Akechi specifically. I'm not sure I believe that, since the evidence for it is pretty shallow (like the featherman game scientist experimenting on grey pigeon). But this scene is once again the biggest argument you could make for that theory. The researcher in the image above refers to palaces by their correct term 'palaces', which they say was based on Wakaba's research. But that's only something you would know with firsthand experience of the metaverse. And the only person they know who could access the metaverse was Akechi (that we know of, but i dont think Shido would rely only on Akechi if there were other options).

So yeah this scene is very sus. It's most likely the writers didn't think too deep about the implications. There's no way they wanted Futaba's mom to be sketchy, right? But even if it's not intentional, the scenes and their implications still exist. So in conclusion those theories make sense, I get it, and I don't blame anyone for headcanoning them and having fun. And tbh anyone involved with cognitive psience was portrayed as some degree of unethical (maruki for example), maybe this is just on-brand

It's the 50 day anniversary since I finished Royals and got obsessed with Akechis character. Thought I would share some of my sketches 👉👈

akechi, venting: ... anyway and that's how I killed my beloathed rival-enemy-best-friend-love-of-my-life only to find out he was still alive. Ok, I think that's all. *leaves the booth* There, Joker! Are you happy now?

Tfw you finally figure out why the rivals are gay in your story: it's because one of them has a crippling fear of being unable to help someone lost in depression and then, years later, manages to save someone lost in depression through superpowers!

Sorry Akechi, plus I also expose your Featherman obsession. Not me looking up Featherman lore just to write a couple lines (a fictional TV show within a game)...
