the real reason they're not on speaking terms with each other

[steel-seigi]

This is how your justice ends ⚖️

[luna--flare]

that indescribable nerdy excitement when you’re a fan of two unrelated niche series and suddenly find out after years that a character from each shares a voice actor

[starfirexuchiha]

Here’s another lyric video of another Vocaloid cover that Hoshi (Akechi JP VA)  sang in.

This is his cover of “Karakuri Burst“! He took part in this duet.

Ren is just a placeholder for Shintaro Asanuma because that VA does not voice any Persona character.

Bruh Hoshi singing Rin’s (Tsubaki’s) part in this song fits Akechi so well! 😭 I made Ren a placeholder on here because Len’s name is “Ren” in this song which is a same sounding name. Also I just wanted to add some ShuAke angst in this.

I drew those images in the video, because I plan to make a hand-drawn ShuAke parody of Karakuri Burst one day. I'm not a professional artist but I gotta learn do stuff on my own ya know! Here are the full images I drew!

[dnangelic]

i only like onosaka's dark over okiayu's because he sounds Smarmier. it's even wilder to listen to in the anniversary drama CDs where anime dark and daisuke meet drama cd dark and daisuke, and while okiyau can pull off the confident arrogance of dark's character, it comes off too strong for me. personally.

[petorahs]

starting ng+ of persona 5 royal 😐 (relapsed)

​edit actually the real relapse is if i play honkai star rail actually. thankfully none of my devices can handle that

[vashtijoy]

This one is extremely strange, so strange that I think I must have got it wrong somehow? Here's a line from Akechi's Black Mask navigation. Yeah, you know which one this is going to be:

Here's the English audio:

Is it me, or is something a little... off, here? Look at the portrait. Doesn't he look a little... calm? Downbeat, even?

Here's another use of the same portrait. This is not a laughing statement:

Akechi has a laughing navigator portrait, of course:

it's okay goro we know you're very normal

So we've got a mismatch between the portrait and the English line. Let's have a listen to the Japanese audio:

They're a bit... different? He's not laughing, he's not gloating. Just "Huh, I guess that was a thing that happened..."

So what's going on here?

translation time

Akechi 敵1体逃走！仲間に見捨てられたようだね。 teki ittai tousou! nakama ni misuterareta you da ne This one just got betrayed by its teammate! Ha, imagine how that feels! [lit. One enemy fled! Looks like this one was abandoned by its friend, huh?] One more enemy out of the way! So this last one got dumped by its friend, huh?

Let's talk about 見捨てる misuteru—"to abandon". misuteru pops up regularly in the P5R script. It comes up when someone's being ditched, bailed on, forsaken by God—generally left behind: if your friends run out on you, you are being misuterued.

Are there any contexts where misuteru can mean betray? Sure. If you leave a friend held hostage to die, the shadow will accuse you of misuteruing them. nakama o misuteru is used consistently here, similarly to Akechi's line above—"you betrayed your friend by leaving them to die".

Here's Kawakami, at the end of her confidant, resolving to never abandon any of her students again:

Kawakami でも、これからは君のことも守るよ。教師として、絶対、見捨てたりしないから。 demo, kore kara wa kimi no koto mo mamoru yo. kyoushi toshite, zettai, misutetari shinai kara. But from now on, I'm going to protect you too. As your teacher, I will never betray you.

What does Kawakami do? She tries to help her student Takase, but in the end abandons him; she believes she betrayed him to his death. But she betrayed him by giving up on him; by abandoning him. She misuterued him.

Here's Futaba, during her apology to Joker for dumping him at the start of Maruki's reality:

Futaba てかむしろ怒るだろ!{F1 82}のこと見捨てたんだぞ!? te ka mushiro okoru daro! <given name> no koto misuteta n da zo!? Why wouldn't you be!? I betrayed you! Don't you get that!?

Under Maruki's influence, Futaba loses herself in her happy family life, and leaves Joker to handle things essentially alone. Futaba betrays Joker by abandoning him; she misuterus him.

how does akechi use misuteru?

Besides the usage above, Akechi has two other uses of misuteru in P5. One is in his deleted Mementos mission from the third semester:

Akechi 君たちのことだしこういう人間は見捨てておけないだろう? kimi-tachi no koto da shi kou iu ningen wa misutete okenai darou? Well, considering what you and your group do, I imagine you could hardly abandon him to his fate...

This doesn't mean "betray". There's no relationship between Joker and the mission target—there's no betrayal. There's just an abandoning—a refusal to help.

Akechi やっぱり馬鹿は⋯お前らだ。見捨てて行けば、よかったのに⋯ yappari baka wa... omaera da. misutete ikeba, yokatta no ni... The real fools... are you guys. You should have just abandoned me here a long time ago... [lit. the real fools... are you guys. if only you'd [just] abandoned me here...]

Now this line is a doozy. Look at that use of misuteru here; in vanilla, it was his only use of this word. Akechi has just got done explaining that being unwanted and cast aside is the thing he fears most of all. He has shaped his life around it. He's done murder for it. Everything he's become, he became, at base, because he was abandoned—because he was misuterued.

It's here, at the very end, that he turns his back on that. This unwanted child who has killed to be wanted—he looks at Joker and the Phantom Thieves on the other side of the engine room shutters, people who've proved that they value him and want him around, for himself. And he says to them—no; you're idiots; why didn't you abandon me, like everyone else has? He says to them, I won't let you die here, and I care about that more than I care about being abandoned.

Everything about Akechi is resolving at this moment. He transcends his obsession, fear and trauma. And that word misuteru is doing a ton of heavy lifting—because if Akechi can't have what he wants, then he'll reject it. He makes a free choice, for once in his life.

This moment influences him for the whole of the third semester. And when we hear him say misuteru later on, we should remember this. When black mask navigator Akechi notes the Shadow being abandoned to its fate, he isn't laughing about it; he's thinking about it. In his head, he isn't the betrayer, thinking of Joker in the interrogation room; he is the betrayed, being left behind by everyone he ever hoped would care about him. He's being left behind behind that engine room door.

This line as localised, taken in isolation, can transform your reading of Akechi's character and motives—which is why it's so important to look at the whole of canon, and not single cherrypicked lines. Step forward, "I hate you"

unhinged ranting

Lemme be clear here: this line has always pissed me off for its inconsistency. Akechi reacts against the engine room ending in the third semester, sure. Almost the first thing he does is to rub that deal they made in Joker's face. He's desperate not to be viewed as that pitiful object on the floor. He's desperate to keep up walls between himself and the others—for whatever reason.

But after 1/2, he doesn't really gloat about what he's done. He doesn't argue with Futaba's threat to him on 1/11—"if you ever betray us again, we'll make sure you regret it."; he just agrees to her terms, which he knows are well deserved. He's not walking around like "lol, I got you arrested and tried to murder y'all and there was that whole thing"; even unhinged combat Akechi doesn't do that. Except for this one line. When he suddenly reveals that, deep down, he thinks the whole thing was hilarious.

Except he didn't do that at all. If he did, I think he'd find the others tolerated him a lot less. And he's already walking a knife edge with many of them.

What was the translator's brief here? Honestly, I have no idea. Did they even have access to the original audio? Did they have time to play it? Did Atlus give them a brief to make this guy just as crazy insane as possible?—because we know they told Akechi's JP VA, Soichiro Hoshi, to underplay it.

Either way, I don't think the line as localised (and as delivered, excellently, by Robbie Daymond) corresponds to the Japanese audio. traduttore, traditore—translators are traitors. Even me

yall got headcanons that functionally change very little and exist for very arbitrary reasons but stick with u?

mine is akechi and mamakechi being good singers. robbie daymond, soichiro hoshi, and yoshihide sasaki (akechi in the stage) are all great singers. so i thought, well damn, akechi is probably a good singer too, learning from his mother. he grows out of singing but if he’s having a particularly rough time he’ll hum a melody his mother used to sing as a lullaby. He kills it in PT karaoke but only uses his ability to beat Akira in score. he really could be an idol imo if he chose that path loool

[ryunumber]

Ultraman Belial? pls I must know

Ultraman Belial has a Ryu Number of 3/2.

(explanation below)

Unlike previous Compati Hero games, the Gundams have voices. Or, rather, voices come out of the Gundams, corresponding to the voice of the person piloting it. So it's probably fair to say that, going by Soichiro Hoshi's voice coming out of the Strike Freedom Gundam, it's Kira in there.

[keicordelle]

finally actually watching the Re:flect U concert the other day, and it's so interesting to see the ways that they try to accommodate the VAs for being so clearly unused to this. Long MC segments and long instrumental solos. They did a whole saxophone-piano instrumental number that was very lovely and is making me picture Yuki playing the saxophone, so 10/10 on that. Course they also made them do 3 songs back to back but. you win some you lose some

But it's also making me think about how it could reflect in a certain measure Re:vale's first concerts together, because it seems pretty clear to me that Tachibana Shinnosuke has more experience and more stage presence than Soichiro Hoshi -- just like the characters at their debut together, where Yuki had already been an idol for 5 years, he knew what he was doing (or a version of it, at least, there's nuance there). Meanwhile Momo had never sung or done anything musical at all in his life before joining up with Yuki -- and while he was very active and sporty, I have to imagine there's a very particular kind of energy required to sing and dance for 2-3 hours nonstop that maybe doesn't transfer over from soccer super well, especially when you're not at all used to singing in front of a crowd. Or at all.

Momo who ends up bloody exhausted during their first concert because he underestimated just how much energy would be required to stay up there and sing and dance for 2 hours. Momo drenched in sweat from the spotlights and from constantly moving, and that might be one thing when he's wearing a jersey and able to take a break in the middle and douse himself with water, but he's wearing 6 layers and his coat keeps getting caught and the sweat is starting to show down his back even through all the fabric to catch it. He misses a cue and panics, and that makes him mess up the next dance steps even though he practiced them a thousand times beforehand. And Yuki covers for him, no one even noticed or cared all that much, but he feels So Bad for letting Yuki down. By the end of the concert his voice is cracking around the notes and he's desperately trying not to pant straight into the mic as he sucks down breath.

No one remembers afterwards but them. Like IDOLiSH7 years later, Re:vale has the blessing of starting out small. Momo gets to learn how to pace himself and how to face the stage properly before it ever becomes an issue. But they still joke about it sometimes, now, when Momo's spent 3, 4, 5 hours bouncing around on a stage and Yuki's the one utterly exhausted at the end.

[witchysenbasacorner]

the best thing about the switch is getting to watch Soichiro Hoshi do his Yukimura voice while pretending to be Masamune doing his best impression of Yukimura while Kazuya Nakai is acting as Masamune trying to speak like Yukimura

Gokudo the Adventureer (1999) ゴクドーくん 漫遊記

Director: Kunihisa Sugishima / Kenichi Kasai / Goro Taniguchi / Makoto Noriza / Yoshitaka Fujimoto / Akihiko Nishiyama Screenwriter: Atsuhiro Tomioka Starring: Akira Ishida / Sayuri Yoshida / Shinichiro Miki / Mana Mizuno / Shimaka Yu / Kanetsuki Mami / Asakawa Yu / Ayako Hori / Hino Yurika / Makiko Omoto / Kae Araki / Ikuya Sawaki / Soichiro Hoshi / Houko Kuwashima / Taeko Kawada / Ryutaro Okiayu Genre: Comedy / Action / Animation Country/Region of Production: Japan Language: English / Japanese Date: 1999-04-02 Number of episodes: 26 Also known as: 极道君漫游记 / Jester the Adventurer / Gokudo IMDb: tt0756269 Type: Appropriation

Summary:

The story focuses on an adventurer named Gokudo. Unlike most protagonists he is an antihero, willing to resort to violence to fulfill his agenda. He does not hesitate to abuse the needs of people, sell out his friends to save himself, run away from any dangers, or ditch others who helped him if he does not have any more interest in them. His life starts to change when he finds a magical Genie named Djinn who wants to grant him three wishes. While people would benefit from having three wishes, in his case it leads him to a lot of trouble, and it doesn't take long before he tries to escape from Djinn, and every other person he meets.

Other important characters are the Old Seer (or the Queen of the Magic World), who constantly appears out of nowhere, seemingly only to make Gokudo suffer more; Rubette La Lette, a noble girl with a tomboy attitude who sees Gokudo as a rival; and Prince (called Niari by the Old Seer), a mage much better at handling women than Gokudo will ever be.
