Persona 5 - Goro Akechi Quotes

Main Story

• "I may not seem like it, but I sometimes wish that Santa Claus actually existed. Although if he did, I'd have to arrest him for breaking and entering."
• "My apologies, I truly was just passing by. I must be going. There's a briefing for tomorrow's recording that I have to attend. So, you're going to go have cake now? I missed lunch today, so I'm quite hungry myself... Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about delicious pancakes... No matter. Welp, see you tomorrow." (meeting with Ann, Ryuji, and the protagonist on June 9)
• "It seems I'm unwelcome no matter where I go. ...... ...Did I bother you? My apologies. Apparently, my mother was in a relationship with some low-life of a man... She was swiftly discarded when he learned she was pregnant... That despair would lead to her death. Thanks to him, I was passed from foster home to foster home. But, I do quite well by myself these days." (Akechi to the protagonist in Leblanc, August 28)
• "Once they lost public support, someone they thought was their greatest enemy lent a hand... That's the same strategy used in romance, wouldn't you agree?"
• "Please don't troll me online for this interruption, OK?"
• "None of these people know that I was an undesirable child. I wanted people to rely on me... I wanted to be needed... I devoted myself to my studies, acted as an honor student, and made my name as an ace detective. And thanks to the Nav app and the Persona bestowed upon me by the gods... I managed to dispose of any who got in my way." (Akechi to himself on TV)
• "You don't allow yourself to be enslaved by such things as human relations or past selves... And so, your heart is always free. The exact opposite of mine. To be honest, I'm envious... I wonder why we couldn't have met a few years earlier, <Protagonist>..." (Confronting Akechi in Shido's Palace)
• "Shut up, shut up, shut up! Teammates!? Friends!? To hell with that! Why am I inferior to you...!? I was extremely particular about my life, my grades, my public image, so someone would want me around! I am an ace detective... a celebrity! But you... You're just some criminal trash living in an attic! So how!? How does someone like you have things I don't!? How can such a worthless piece of trash be more special than me!?"
• “Here... I'll show you who I really am. Come! Loki!“ (Akechi summons Loki in Shido's Palace)
• “Don't make me laugh! Justice? Righteous?! Keep that shit to yourselves! You and your teammates piss me off!“ (Akechi transforms into the Black Mask)
• “You're going down... I'll destroy you... Go down with me!“ (Akechi turns psychotic)
• “Now, let's see you drop dead one at a time, in front of your precious friends! Diiiiiiiiie!!!!!“
• “I will carve my own path for myself… I refuse to accept a reality concocted by someone else, stuck under their control for the rest of my days." (Akechi to Joker, February 2)
• ""I will never accept this form of reality. I’m done being manipulated. Let’s go back… to our true reality.” (Akechi to Joker, refusing Maruki's offer before awakening Hereward)
• “What’s a life worth in a reality that was cooked up just to satisfy someone else? I say none.” (Akechi to Joker after awakening Hereward)
