Akechiās All Out Attack Finishers
I am posting a lot this evening but Akechiās all out attack finishers are some of my favorites specifically for their message. Everyoneās all out attack finisher method says something about their personality or goals.
Some of the Phantom Thievesā are just flashy finishers, but it still says a lot about how they interpret the battle. The iconic āshowās overā that Joker has displays his personality and belief about combat: The metaverse is his stage, where he can freely be himself as he likes, and his closing should reflect that.
Akechiās all-out attack finishers are more.. skewed. Shrouded, one might say. āMy sole interest is uncovering the truth,ā seems simply at first. Heās a detective, yeah. Of course he wants to uncover and understand the truth.
Butā¦ What truth? It canāt be the killer behind the Black Mask, as he states to the Thieves, because thatās him. Butā¦ what if it is? What if that ātruthā is not about the killer, but about himself. Akechiās truth that he needs to uncover is who am I, really? The prince detective is only one half of a whole, but thereās a second bit in hidingāthat scorned, ostracized bastard. The boy the world forgot, his motherās son. His fatherās son, even. He states precisely that he wants Shido to acknowledge him as his son, and I think that (or the refusal, in actuality) is what he needed to see the other parts of himself, the Black Mask, as more than just something to be hid.
In the Third Semester, his all-out attack finisher changes to āI decide the truthāāthis one is a bit less obvious at first glance. Maybe itās referring to Marukiās reality, he decides his own truth? No, actually. I think it refers to him deciding to accept, and more than that, push forwards his Black Mask self. Make it his main personality, now that he has no need for the detective prince persona.
He realized Shido would never acknowledge him now that Shidoās heart was changed, and in that change of heart, there wasnāt a single mention of him. Akechi has nothing left to lose, and all his newfound agency culminates in him deciding the truth of who he wants to be. How he wants to live.
Whoever told me to make a tumblr I owe you, this shit is therapeutic.
