underrated tactica dlc moment when this little mouse girl literally explodes into a puddle of colourful censored gore in sumi's arms and in an attempt to comfort her in the most awkward way goro goes "ah don't be upset, there there, she might not be dead" bro

Just realized that Crow and Violet enter the Phantom thieves group with the same condition, though not the same circumstances.
They both first Joined as a fake of themselves, fooling everyone. Then they were a 2-phase boss fight, where the true self gets revealed. Then they join the team, for good and for real.
Hmmmmmmmmm
ANON YOU'RE SO RIGHT I'M
I'll always be a little sad that Atlus never went all-in on the SumiGoro friendship/parallels potential... o7 another fallen dynamic for the pit
in all seriousness, though: many people have talked about the Akechi and Sumire parallels far better than I ever could, but I'll talk some more anyway!
I think the most obvious parallel is in who they admire/resent. Sumire, obviously, admires Kasumi in every way- undercut with resentment that she's scared to ackowledge. Akechi, meanwhile, resents Joker to hell and back, undercut with layers of admiration that he refuses to admit to (+ uh. shauke angst HAHA)
Both are lying to themselves about their other halves, but even more interestingly: Both Kasumi and Joker see Sumire and Akechi respectively as their equals/rivals, despite everything, and even though it may seem that one half is clearly better than the other at first glance.
Sumire's coach, during the Faith confidant, tells Sumire how Kasumi had worked so hard because she knew if she didn't, Sumire would catch up to her- that Kasumi was jealous of Sumire's grace (Ironic, as meanwhile Sumire was desperate to emulate Kasumi's boldness)
Joker's a bit different -silent protag, and all- but, even still: "I'll hold onto you're glove", "I won't lose"- so much of Joker's dialogue about Akechi makes it clear that he takes the other seriously. Plus, the consistent reminders that the promise for a rematch hasn't been fulfilled: clearly, Joker doesn't consider the interrogation room nor the engine room 'fair fights', or true indicators of either's skill (stop me before I go on a tangent)
It's not just Joker=Kasumi and Sumire=Akechi, though. The fact that both sides of each equation are equals means that some lines get crossed. I'm thinking Kasumi's "Because that's my right, as the elder sister!" vs. Akechi's "Going all out against a junior seems a bit gauche, don't you think?"- both Kasumi and Akechi seem to have this idea that they have to be better (a bit of speculation on my part, for Kasumi)- they have no excuse to lose; it's only natural if they win, and incredibly dissapointing otherwise.
back to crow/violet parallels, they also act as excellent foils for each other in the royal trio dynamic: Sumire, when faced with low self-esteem and terrible circumstances, latches onto people that she considers "better"- imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all! And Sumire has imitation in spades.
Akechi, meanwhile, distances himself from pretty much everyone. He seems to value shallow praise of people that don't really see, rather than experience the mortifying ordeal of being known, and whatnot.
but even then, Akechi does have some similar tendencies to Sumire- he just hides it under layers of deflection and lying to himself. He claims to absolutely hate Shido and Joker, and while I don't doubt that, necessarily, it's clearly far more complicated than that. Akechi, no matter how he feels about them, lives and dies by the will of his obsessions- and by the time of the third semster, he's had enough. (while, conversely, Sumire hasn't quite learned to stand on her own)
Actually, speaking of the third semester; Maruki's reality also highlights some similarities between the two, as the two people most egregiously edited by the false reality: Sumire, back to believing she's Kasumi, and Akechi as "I've never had a violent thought in my life!" pleasant boy. Those two are the only members of the PT where Maruki goes straight for the personality.
whoops. long post HAHA

('guy who is currently drawing' voice) i feel like i only ever see sumigoro friendship get portrayed as 'mean guy who hates everyone else with a soft spot for cinnamon roll' when (in my beautiful mind) akechi would especially hate sumi and this is a good thing that means they're friends.

ok so. the one thing i think sumi has going for her is marukis involvement bc she DOES feel flat BECAUSE of him but thats even MORE reason she should be angry in 3rd sem bc MARUKI DIDNT KNOW KASUMI. SO ALL HE KNOWS IS BASED ON SUMIRES RECOLLECTION. WHICH WOULDNT BE ENOUGH TO CREATE A WHOLE PERSONALITY. my fav hc is angry kasumi is friends with goro in 3rd sem and shes not as crazy insane as him but. she gets the Rage. on that note, ryuuji wouldve been furious. actually, all the PTs would be bc their entire thing is being Angry over injustice and being STRIPPED OF UR AGENCY IS NR 1 INJUSTICE
sorry i study equality studies and p5 is such a Game that makes my social equality brain go DISSECT EVERYTHING THROUGH A SOCIAL INEQUALITY LENS like i could go in DETAIL on how each PT faces injustice and how the thieves' entire motivation is BECAUSE of that injustice and MAN I LOVE P5 AS A STUDY ON SOCIAL INEQUALITIES IN JAPAN!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH
YEAHHHHHH SOCIAL INEQUALITIES ARE SUCH AN INTERESTING TOPIC i also have so much to say on maruki as a character himself + his savior complex fhat bleeds into a god complex, the parallels of the entire third semester with christianity's view on heaven, etc etc etc but id be here Forever and idk if people want me to clog their tls with that shit HDJSJDS
I love reading sumigoro friendship fics. these are the two who would be most affected by maruki's bullshit, why wouldn't they band together? not to mention how akechi seems to behave around her, too—she's the only character apart from joker that he really seems to talk to, other than the occasional dig at makoto, and i really wish they could have expanded on that more

code violet: an emergency code that can be called by any person who is a witness to a violent incident or a combative individual that poses a threat
The engine room confrontation goes down a little differently when one Yoshizawa Sumire is there, hiding in the shadows.
-
New chapter is out! The Royal Trio infiltrate Maruki’s Palace a bit earlier than expected, and Sumi is confronted with the truth about her past.
