He quotes Hegel on this, citing that "advancement cannot occur without both thesis and antithesis." He finds an interest in the protagonist because he speaks his mind.ĭespite supposedly being an idol detective, this identity, as well as his cheery disposition, are nothing short of a fraud that he carefully crafted to grant him a public image in the hopes that it would make people accept him and mask his real personality, which was done by artificially fabricating and solving cases via inducing mental shutdowns or psychotic breakdowns. He is candid in expressing his disagreement, but he wants to hear about other people's views in an honest fashion. He presents himself as having a strong sense of justice, disapproving of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts for their methods. His achievement of being a high-school detective, coupled with his handsome features, makes him highly popular among the general public and he is commented to be "The Second Coming of the Detective Prince."

On school days, Akechi wears a tan coat with a red and gray plaid scarf tucked underneath, while keeping his black gloves, pants and shoes from his detective uniform.

He also wears a dark enclosed knight helmet, with a black mask tinted red, resembling a sharp beak, which breaks after his defeat. In this form, he has several black studded belts strapped around his legs and arms, a short black cape and clawed gauntlets. Once he reveals his true intentions, Akechi swaps his princely garb for a body-covering, black and dark blue striped outfit. As with his Robin Hood Persona, it's meant to give the feeling of putting on the air of a champion of justice, with nothing to do with being a Phantom Thief, robber or burglar of any sort, invoking the image of being at the front of a stage to contrast the protagonist's image of being more of a backstage actor. His image is a combination of a noble's attire, and a uniform worn by cavalry or guards of honor. His mask motif resembles a long-nosed Venetian mask. His casual winter outfit consists of a white long sleeve shirt with flaps under a blue argyle sweater vest, beige pants and brown shoes.Īs Crow, Akechi wears a princely pure-white regalia with red accents and a red, long-nosed mask.
