explanation for Fumiyo’s name; Wesley, Akechi’s Great Grandfather, was an American Kogoro Akechi fan who moved to Japan. He met his wife because her last name was Akechi. They named their son Kogoro, & Kogoro named his daughter Fumiyo. Goro was named to hold the tradition :D

I see a lot of people depict Akechi and his mom with a typical relationship, but, because of how he is, I like to think that they had a more complicated relationship that feeds deeper into Akechi’s understanding of the feelings between love, hate & everything in the middle.

Finally got around to drawing Mamakechi design wahoo! We’ve named her Fumiyo Akechi. :D She’s a former yankee girl group member. She’s very fiery in personality, and i think it rubs off on Akechi :P They have a very unique relationship. Not healthy, but not horrible.

After his creation, they utilize Robogo to continue the psychotic breakdowns, which forces Ren & the PTs back into action. Upon exploring the re-built Mementos, they come across a vaguely familiar face <3

in this AU, after his death, Shido’s accomplices find Akechi’s corpse outside the Diet building & make him into a botched Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon using old ass documents found from the Kirijo group’s archives :p

Ren & Akechi get to see each other very rarely when all the classes meet together to practice. Ren notices he’s the only one in Yalba’s care that doesnt follow the crowd & tries to talk to him, but Akechi is very hostile. But sometimes, Ren catches him watching from afar.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Akechi is kept around despite his headstrong behaviour bc of his talent. He is revelled by his peers, trained mercilessly, & commended highly by Yalba & other aliens for his endurance & willpower. He is basically Yalba’s star child.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Phile is known for his strange experimentation with letting his humans do as they please & encouraging their individuality. Yalba is very much the opposite. All his humans have broken spirits & are essentially mindless dolls… except for an especially exceptional child, Akechi.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
the plot is that Yalbadoth is the Alien that owns Akechi & Philemon owns a sanctuary where the PTs & Ren stay. Ren used to be owned by a different Alien before he rebelled & was taken into Phile’s care bc he was a troublemaker.

essentially; The Prince - the roses The Black Mask - the thornbush 3rd Semester - dead thornbush w/ weeds on him ERHIT Akechi - thornbush w/ a wilting rosebud buried in it Then Ren can be symbolized by both Flames & Rain, & a Gardener :3
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
ahmm so i wanted to provide a bit of explanation for the symbolism of rosebush in relation to Akechi but.. i got a little bit carried away. hopefully its not too hard to decipher )-)o first two sections cover Akechi in canon events, & the last two are his development in ERHIT!

《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Determined to not let him slip through his fingers again, Ren pursues Akechi despite his many grievances & attempts to shed him. A total stalemate occurs when Akechi suddenly cuts contact, pushing Ren to look to the Metaverse to clear the stubborn thorns that consume his heart.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Akechi, presumed dead, resurfaces. Having vowed to simply keep a low profile & start over, he'd taken care to avoid the places in which Ren tarried despite knowing he'd returned to his hometown. Deviating from this only once to make a trip to Yongen-Jaya, he is foiled by fate.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
thus, the unfortunate spool of fate unravels, separating their paths with an iron door. Paradise comes, then fades, & Ren is left with a lingering sense of if only. The story begins anew when, on a trip back to Tokyo for the winter holidays, Ren stumbles upon a ghost.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
till, this penchant isnt enough for Ren to breach the gap between them. if anything, it further estranges; each step closer Ren takes, Akechi takes 5 backward. both whirling in a chaotic dance of vaguely similar pattern, swathed in the arms of their destinies, never each others.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
"Every Rose Has its' Thorns." Setting an image in Ren's mind; The Prince he knows, a rosebush with brilliant roses, shielding the deadly thicket underneath with their superficial beauty-- & he, a man with a penchant for plant care.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
The foundation is set; Ren, torn on a his feelings about Akechi's upcoming betrayal, seeks Maruki as counsel. Distressed for an uncharacteristically perturbed Ren & his friend who is clearly troubled from what is descript, Maruki credulously bestows a double edged sword:
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
ERHIT follows Ren & Akechi after the events in canon. there are a few tweaks or additions here & there, some characters to fill in the gaps that canon didn't fill (Akechi's mother, Ren's parents, etc) BUT it mostly revolves around canon characters & happenings.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
we have... A LOT of stuff for this AU, (even playlists of what the soundtracks of their Palaces would be like..) so in effort to keep it all in one place, i'll probably make a strawpage or whateves the kids use these days to collect everything together at some point.

maybe a bar fight breaks out & he just throws the money on the counter & leaves bc “he’s not getting paid to investigate that”. anyway

《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
he’s like…. the type to smoke in an sketchy, foggy bar, drinking gin he thinks tastes like ass, while going cynical monologues about the all filth of the world he’s seen to his bright-eyed apprentice (aka Ren). slow sax music plays in the background drowned out by chatter….
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
anywho, when he’s between the two sides, he’s the 80’s-90’s “jaded detective” style. Zoot suits & trench coats; NY mobster for the Black Mask, but the effeminate prep of the Prince. Put together, but in a “ive seen some shit” way. Smells like cigarettes, booze & EXPENSIVE cologne
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
It also fits in with the fact that he is tied to so many Urban themes, which can be directly tied to urban nightlife- something that is known to be extremely rough living. Perhaps his mother’s profession influenced him a bit more than expected.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
i think the underlying correlation of having an abundance of charm & class whilst living a more hard-knocks, morally grey way of life due to necessity of survival, in which most people would more often than not turn their nose up at, really compliments him.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
It compliments his love for Jazz (& Jazz-adjacent genres) & is complimentary in a thematic sense, as this style is not only seen as rebellious against the norm of the time, but it was also a form of empowerment for oppressed communities to express themselves boldly & confidently.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Black Mask formal would be… whatever this outfit is. 70’s American… Pimp? fashion? yknow, i used to be like “WHY is he wearing That” but after researching the cultural significance of pimp fashion i have a newfound appreciation for this outfit.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
I think Black Mask would resonate a lot with Cowboys btw. It’s a big driver for characterization of Akechi in ERHIT; The whole “every man for himself”, the violence of the wild west, choosing his own path & deciding for himself what is Law & Justice n’ what isnt… yeehaww
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
The Black Mask would be more casual urban. A mix between the Bōsōzoku style & Western/Cowboy-aesthetic— clothing clearly inspired by American culture; things that is a much bigger, bolder “fuck you” to the Japanese norm. He sticks out like a sore thumb & he likes it that way.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
The Prince is primarily work-formal with an effeminate flair; like the 60’s Miyuki-zoku style. High waisted pants & patterns to accentuate his individuality & resistance to the norm, but not enough to be immediately casted as a rebel. His casual is more clean cut Ivy-league prep.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Akechi would have older-fashioned styles split between a few types to accommodate his different sides. i think he would be drawn to Western-influenced styles that originated soon after WWII bc theyre all seen as rebellious to the Japanese norm & Akechi just LOVES sticking out.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
ok back to the fashion Though Ren is rather casual, his Joker side is aallll formal. He would be primarily tuxedo sleek with some random leather incorporation, & lots of flashy, bright colors- mostly red. Very Retro Dapper. He is a Gentleman, after all!
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
As result of the 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami, after seeing such devastating loss, many began to rethink what it was to live to the fullest, which directly influenced youth into questioning traditional values, authority & seeking their own ways of living! thought that was really neat
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Lil side note/fun fact: those same ideals that Ren has can be directly tied to a shift in Japanese society during his adolescent years (2011-2013), when the development of his personality & values were formative. he’s a direct product of his time!
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
The baggy, urban clothes that are synonymous with Rebellious Youth in Japanese society, the optimistic rebellion, uplifting those from oppression through hope & kindness… it not only fits with the time period that Ren grew up in, but it also really fits the Thieves’ ideals
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
its general consensus that Ren’s “Punk” vibe is modern, American Alt Punk, (like, 2019-2021 Grunge/E-boy) but i dont think that fits very well thematically, time period-wise, nor aesthetically. imo Ren would be more early 2000s Urban Skater/Hope Punk; Think Sonic, Jet Set Radio.
110
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
he would definitely explore other styles & wear some modern Harajuku (Influenced by Ann & Ryuji) but i think choosing on his own, he’d wear more dated clothing that he finds at thrift shops & stuff. Since he’s a 2000s kid, i think he’d be drawn to what was popular then.
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
100% think that Ren would have 2011-2013 CITYBOY fashion, particularly the section that utilizes practicality (things like fanny packs, vests with lots of pockets, etc) & baggy comfortable clothes; he’d also be partial to styles inspired by London bc of the incorporation of plaid
100
《🏅CEO of NPD Goro Akechi》 @marsmaboy.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
yes i analyzed the styles of their in game costumes & collab outfits & spent actual days flipping thru articles, PDF files & japanese fashion brands for this. yes i hunted down random outdated japanese magazines from fashion forums just to translate them…. anyway ramble time
