![]() wild card persona users need to have others around to bond with in order to understand themselves, get stronger as people, and then get stronger as persona wielders. ![]() I think this gets accidentally glossed over by people, even akechi fans. not to mention that robin hood!justice can only happen if there is more than one person who will benefit from the revenge.īut what if you’re alone? what if you don’t have anyone to fight for, or with? what if you are isolated, shunned, unloved? to the point, what if you are goro akechi, a wild card persona wielder–the only type of persona wielder who is defined by bonds with others. both of these things are acts of justice, it’s just that one is more widely approved by others (hint hint, robin hood), and the other is seen as dangerous, illegal and even “immoral.” people will point at black mask!justice and say, “two wrongs don’t make a right,” but that glosses over the anger and the pain of the person who wants to avenge being wronged in the first place. robin hood!justice is an act of revenge that benefits many people. but robin hood’s sense of justice is closer to akechi’s childhood ideal: the justice of someone who avenges the wronged, the mistreated the justice of someone who speaks truth to power, takes away from that power, and gives it back to their victims.ĭo you see the difference? black mask!justice is revenge, an act that only benefits one person (the one getting vengeance). it is the justice of someone seeking righteous revenge, the justice of someone who has suffered, who was wronged, and who is coming back for vengeance.

Back then, I thought I wanted to be a hero. When I was a kid, I bought a toy gun just like this. the robin hood attire is the hero he wanted to be as a child: The disturbed sense of identity and distorted self-image are shown in the dramatic contrast between the black mask garb and the robin hood garb.
