In an effort to conclude his fight with Joker and clear the way to his revenge, he turns on the Phantom Thieves, intending to kill them all—yet when he fails, he's met with understanding, and an offer of a second chance, to fight Shido alongside them. But because Shido is aware of Akechi's intentions, he has one last line of defence against him—a [[Cognitive Akechi|cognition of Akechi himself]], that appears at the moment Akechi appears to change sides. The cognition reveals that Shido knew Akechi was his son; that he knew Akechi wanted his attention and even his love. It offers Akechi one last chance to gain those things, by killing Joker and the Thieves after all. Instead, Akechi shoots the cognition, bringing down a bulkhead door between the Thieves and the cognition—with himself on the wrong side. His fate is unclear; he asks Joker to ''"end Shido's crimes in [his] stead"'', before two gunshots are heard and his life signs vanish from [[Futaba Sakura|Futaba's]] awareness. | In an effort to conclude his fight with Joker and clear the way to his revenge, he turns on the Phantom Thieves, intending to kill them all—yet when he fails, he's met with understanding, and an offer of a second chance, to fight Shido alongside them.

Akechi intends to take revenge on Shido, casting him into a ''"living hell"'', controlling him, and becoming greater than him, a plan [[Yusuke Kitagawa]] describes as ''"distorted"''. To that end, he approached Shido two years before canon, saying he had ''"special powers"'' and offering his services; his first assignment was to stop several of Shido's political opponents who were conspiring against him within the Diet, by giving them psychotic breakdowns—caused by [[Call of Chaos]], Akechi's unique ability, ''"the ability to control and drive others mad ... born from within his heart"''. | Akechi intends to take revenge on Shido, casting him into a ''"living hell"'', controlling him, and becoming greater than him, a plan [[Yusuke Kitagawa]] describes as ''"distorted"''.
