one thing I think p5 timeloop aus miss is the fact that Akira's obsessive replaying to try and save someone is not exclusive to akechi. I'm not gonna pretend like shuake isn't an appealing part but I feel like I need to clarify that I think akira would be voluntarily destroying himself if it was any of his friends or confidants. It doesn't sound like a big deal but the intense need to save everyone and then subsequent guilt when he fails is an incredibly important and interesting part of his character (ie. the way he reacted when he was keeping maruki from falling, even after everything). he's just a lover and can't bear to lose anyone which welcomes in a myriad of other questions as to why

#akira is one of my faves silent protags drive me absolutely insane #''can a silent protagonist be portrated out of character'' YES and it happens not just to akira. a lot of people don't get #kris or botw link either so #akira is personally my favorite out of the examples because its hard to tell what aspects of him are intended or not and even then the #appeal of speculation and interpretation is such a huge part of loving akira #that said i think that there are still aspects of him that are very clearly intended and he isnt just a blank slate #whatevies hehe im insane rn #txt #p5r #p5r spoilers
