Summary
No one, not even Morgana, knew why Akira’s power was so different from everyone else’s. Akira didn’t really mind the whole “learn as you go” approach, but as Igor granted him more power, he started to feel strange side effects – random fits of anger, melancholy, mania – without any obvious source. In a fit of inexplicable rage, he storms into Mementos on his own, only to be saved by another persona-user wearing a black and purple body suit…
Forming a tentative alliance, they delve into Mementos to discover the source of their strange, shared power, and begin to unravel a vast conspiracy, the cogs of which were set in motion long before Akira ever came to Shibuya.

Summary
Every encounter Akira has with Akechi feels unnaturally calculated, like Akechi has him bound in an intricate dance to which he doesn’t know the steps. Akira is good at improvising, though, and if Akechi wants to keep an eye on Akira, well… two can play at that game.
There’s a danger, though, in spending too much time watching someone.

Summary
As a rule, Goro Akechi did not go out for fun; it was difficult to publicly enjoy his hobbies without drawing the attention of the media or of his fans. His weekly excursions to Kichijoji to play pool with Leblanc's quiet barista were the exception to this rule.

As long as Goro was still around, the Thieves would be in danger - if not from him, then from Shido - and that was something he could no longer bear.

Summary
It wasn't supposed to happen this way. It never was - but Akira could deal with the snag in their plan to expose Kamoshida. What he couldn't fathom, on the other hand, was why Akechi was acting so suddenly cold, and why it bothered him so terribly much.

Summary
His inaugural trip to the Metaverse as one of the Phantom Thieves, and of course Goro had to run into an enemy he'd never seen before - something that caught him completely by surprise. At least he'd seem less threatening to the Thieves now...
But even after he left the Metaverse, it felt as thought something was off... he was starting to feel woozy, and his body was getting hot… and why did Akira look so nice all of a sudden…?

With the way Akechi was always talking to Ren, hinting at some hidden layer to their partnership that was always left maddeningly unsaid, this was inevitable, really.

Summary
Goro thought he was losing his mind. Worked to the bone, he started to see Mementos in the shadowy corners of the subway station, and he could swear Kurusu’s cat was talking to him.
Sweets helped him stay sane, just a little.

Summary
All Goro Akechi wanted was to be a well-respected detective. If that meant enduring a slew of meaningless fluff cases assigned by the higher-ups, so be it. If it meant spending his free time chasing after baseless rumors about a high school gang of self-described "social reformers", fine.
Except the rumors aren't so baseless after all, and as he attempts to catch these 'Phantom Thieves' in an actual, documented act of wrongdoing, he finds himself becoming entangled with the gang more deeply than he ever intended - all thanks to their leader, who decided to take a special interest in him. An obnoxiously flirtatious interest.

Summary
Despite everything, Akira Kurusu cannot keep himself from meeting with Goro Akechi, even if he has to do it behind the Thieves' backs. On paper, their fates are destined to oppose each other... but Akira has no intention of betraying his team OR of abandoning Akechi. When you come to love so many people, you grow compelled to fight for them, despite all odds.
A look at the events of the game if only Akira had reached out to Akechi, just a bit more, in spite of the Phantom Thieves.
