While Akechi is the second playable character to appear in the game post-intro, alongside [[Sae Niijima]] on 4/10, the Phantom Thieves—Joker, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana—don't directly encounter him until 6/9, during the Social Studies visit to a TV studio. He eavesdrops on them in the corridor before trying to ingratiate himself. The next day, on 6/10, the Thieves watch a filming of ''Good Morning Japan'', where Akechi sets out his public platform: the Phantom Thieves likely don't exist, but if they do, should be tried in a court of law for their crimes, since ''"you should never forcefully change a person's heart"''. After the filming, he approaches Joker, who exchanged words with him during filming, and asks if they can continue exchanging thoughts. This unlocks Akechi's confidant. | While Akechi is the second playable character to appear in the game post-intro, alongside [[Sae Niijima]] on 4/10, the Phantom Thieves—Joker, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana—don't directly encounter him until 6/9, during the Social Studies visit to a TV studio in Akasaka.

Akechi continues to appear over the following months, apparently investigating the [[mental shutdowns]] and [[psychotic breakdowns]] alongside Sae. His investigation focuses more and more on the Phantom Thieves, culminating in his blackmail of them on 10/26 at the [[Shujin Academy|Shujin]] culture festival, when he produces photographs of them exiting the [[Metaverse]], and reveals that he has [[Persona]] power of his own. He proposes joining the team for one mission, to change the heart of Sae Niijima, after which the Phantom Thieves will disband. | Akechi continues to appear over the following months, apparently investigating the [[mental shutdowns]] and [[psychotic breakdowns]] alongside Sae.
