Looks like Persona 5 Royal might be expanding a certain character's role. (open P5 spoilers)

Some people alraedy mentioned this, but yeah, I only expect them to save him from death to continue his role as a party member and then he will voluntarily go to jail by the end of the game.

That's not Haru

Yup, this is the best. I can't wait to see kasumi's.

 

[StarStorm]

Not really shocked. He's just too popular in Japan.

 

[LostSkullKid]

Give me the option to kill him myself. Or better yet have Haru or Futaba do it.

 

[badcrumble]

I'm fine with Akechi coming back as long as he's still a villain.

Well, thanks Captain Obvious because we all know who he is already. 😂
