Ok I just thought these dialogues from the P5X x P5R collab were very interesting to me. I know P5X isn't considered canon but this felt like a neat insight into Maruki's inner mentality and dwindling sanity despite not being present.

Even "I just want to dream forever" during this exchange can raise sad implications knowing the ending of his arc.

Man knows what's up but just keeps on running anyways before he even appears properly. Just god... Really highlights how messed up his mental state has already gotten.

Curious if your au is based on vanilla or Royal? If it is Royal, I'd like to know what Ken's dynamic with Sumi is? Personally, I find their dynamic to be the one with the most potential (at least in my own pt!Ken au). And also his dynamic with Maruki.

My AU is Royal based! Oh yeah >:) !!!!!!3rd semester spoilers ahead!!!!!

Ken and The Phantom Thieves part 6: Yoshizawa ;) + Maruki

Sumi is such a sweet girl. I don’t think she’d be put off by Ken much. In my AU, even though Ken isn’t part of any sports team, he still loves to exercise and has a training regimen. I imagine they would exchange tips, and Sumi especially admires Ken’s ability to make delicious yet healthy meals. It always brings an odd… feeling to her. Like she could add more to that topic but she can’t find the words. I think they could also connect as two honor students under a lot of pressure (yes Ken is an honor student despite his appearance lmao) and as people with survivor’s guilt. Of course, Ken has grown a lot since the time of his friends’ passing and with that he could help Sumi reassure herself. The girl needs it

As for Maruki hoo boy

Third semester is gonna be so emo eww

Ken is a goldmine of trauma for Maruki to unpack lol. But seriously, with how nice Maruki is, Ken could be pulled by him to an extent bc sheesh Shujin is a mess. Even with all his experience and troubles, Ken is still is just a boy who needs to talk to someone.

"Because there's a girl he likes"

This is obviously in reference to Tofu liking Kasumi, but everytime I read it I coukdbt help but think this was meant for Ranma too.

Am I crazy or is it like super obvious thing? I've just never seen it mentioned so maybe I'm just dumb LMAO

[Ranma ½] ✥ Chapter 14, Who Says You’re Cute?!

[animerot]

I’d like to think that when Kasumi and Dr Tofu finally get together she’s very loving and the doctor still has to get use to it

Dr. Tofu + his crush on Kasumi

Maruki Takuto from Persona 5 Royal would be a law alignment rep if he was in megaten. His world aligns for the few but doesn't account for the many. We see how a lot of people out of his scope of knowledge get excluded from his 'perfect' world.

I swear to god the more I think about how Sumi's toxic/negative thoughts and behavior along with the filter's red flags were not only fully ignored but even outright ENABLED and sometimes mocked by the people around her the more horrified I feel guys. Again, fuck Shujin Academy. Not only that but her whole experience at Shujin just felt so... Isolating. It doesn't excuse it and she needed to grow out of it but it's definitely little to no wonder she primarily clung onto and became dependent on Maruki and Joker for a while.

Like her peers, Shujin faculty, hell even well intentioned ones like Maruki and even her father just kept enabling and putting on temporary bandaids thinking that what's currently happening to her and their ideas to help her were gonna benefit her in the long run when they just... Unwittingly make it worse. It's primarily when Joker steps in to tell her to STOP with the delusions and unhealthy behavior that she finally starts to show actual improvement and snap out of it. Same with her coach who had been trying to tell her to stop from the beginning.

Like don't get me wrong, Maruki and her father aren't horrible and DO care about her compared to Shujin but they kinda still unwittingly contributed to her problems by allowing her to live a lie as Kasumi. But on the other end of the spectrum, there's the added nuance that she did feel like the filter did help her (she was suicidal for Pete's sake) but also felt that she didn't need it anymore because it's ultimately not healthy and just a bandaid solution.

That and she acknowledged and admitted her own faults in the situation saying that she wasn't any better. Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize that one of the mental hangups she's dealing with is being so caught up in her own problems that she doesn't see the bigger picture of things (Kasumi not being this perfect person, Maruki's suffering despite his kindness and smiles, etc.). She even mentions it in a safe room dialogue and can even be shown in the flashback of Kasumi's death. It just kinda adds more to her selfishness even when her feelings are understandable and Kasumi's behavior and methods of helping can definitely come off as condescending to anyone. It just reached MASSIVELY unhealthy levels along with people around her enabling the toxic behaviors (Maruki included).

I guess a tl;dr is that she IS an interesting critique on Japan's fucked up mental health system and stigmas along with Maruki and I feel like people should talk about this more because it's so interesting to dissect.
