p5 death note au where akechi gets a death note and immediately uses it to kill shido via mental shutdown. after it actually works he decides he likes dealing justice to those deserving, and starts killing "bad" people who the police haven't caught. one of these people happen to be kamoshida. after which, mishima basically becomes misa and finds out akechis identity through some serious research and tracks him down. the rest would probably be the same as og death note
do u have any ref sheet for your latest mishima design
yes here u go!! some things r different frm my last post just cause i didnt use a reference for that one. other things are interchangable (eg the patchwork ) but this is my main reference for his design!
and additionally,, more info on this design because i feel thats warranted. under the cut!!
his persona is poena, the duke of retribution. she represents punishment as well as pain in general. i chose her because this design works based off of yuuki's rebellion before joker—which one might assume he might just.. not have at all! given his whole "you of all people should know no one can help" attitude. its understandable, but its not rebellious at all. but, underneath his woes is a genuine hatred for those who mistreated him/tried to keep him a "zero" and a wish for them to be punished. seen below..
so, his form of rebellion pre-heart change is retribution—seen in how he basically uses the phantom thieves as attack dogs and revels in his indirect power to punish those he deems deserving. but lucky for him, in my previously mentioned au he gets a persona before being able to fully better himself as a person so he can punish others as much as he wants! shadows, shidos enemies, random people he dislikes—he has it all!
these pleasures to me, seemed most akin to an executioner. his ideals are focused on punishing the evil and fighting fire with fire (continuing the cycle of violence) compared to my post-change-of-heart version where its more about helping the weak without stooping to their methods.
so he doesnt overcome his own corruption hes still got basically no rebellion in him aside from hatred for himself, and the people who hurt him—thus he gets his power from finally being the one to inflict pain instead of receiving it. sadism and all that
as for combat stuff, hes a support with mostly phys and curse moves. This is bc i wanted to show that even with his own new power he wasnt necessarily using it to take agency for himself (still in a support role because he's working under shido), just kind of lashing out with it.
Anyway id like to think he has a second awakening that goes into my last design if he turns to the good side somehow. you can find that here

first post on here for my akeshima shido au! more info on the au under the cut
yes so um this is different from the good ol traitor au seen in my fics because instead of yuuki switching up on the phantom thieves to work for goro, he actually seeks out shido before even meeting the thieves. so no betrayls happening there!
basically shido ends up having kamoshida killed before ren transfers to shujin. (why isnt necessarily important but i like to think maybe kamoshida just got involved with some risky business... idk.)
so, yuuki ends up looking into the mysterious circumstances around kamoshidas death and traces it back to shido. thus he tracks him down and asks to work with him because he just had to repay him—which shido obliges because he kind of already knew too much and killing him before seeing his usefulness seemed like a waste!
goro and yuuki end up coworkers. Yay! but goros certainly not a fan because goro akechi works alone. hes even less of fan of working with a guy who works for shido because he genuinely likes him. gag!
additionally, since shido knows yuukis only working for him because he admires him, he tries to use that to his advantage for as long as possible. he keeps up a nicer, more caring charade for yuuki to keep his loyalty. it's a lot kinder compared to what goro gets, but he never really treated him that nicely in the first place... blatant employee favoritism all over the place!
of course, goro knows shido is manipulating yuuki, but yuuki himself refused to acknowledge that (especially not from goro, because he was just jealous, right?) until it got too obvious to ignore. aka, once shidos temper slipped and he dropped the pleasantries with yuuki for the first time. reality checks ensue, yuuki realizes doing assassination for politicians isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, and that goros mean comments were actually just the truth.
then. theyre forced to acknowledge eachother as allies and victims in one way or another and it gets gayyy
i think my favorite things about this au in specific are that firstly, it's kind of a forced proximity thing. you can't just quit working for shido, he'll have you dead by yesterday... high stakes you know! and second, i get to write/draw/think about how different mishima would be without his intense love for the phantom thieves. he said himself that the main reason he changed was cause of them so... much to think about!
im open to questions if anyones even mildly curious about this. i hope this was all cohesive at the least, thank you for reading!
THANK YOU!!! like you pulled How many all nighters moderating a website..? Yeah buddy youre getting this prescription. plus its just cute but you didnt hear that from me đŸ‘€
