i like to think that joker introduces toshiro to toranosuke. like “oh you wanna be a good politician? don’t worry i know a guy”
toshiro is of course stunned that joker is the same kid that helped “no-good tora” get out of the hell his own scandal caused him. and toranosuke is more than happy to help

Every time someone beats Persona 5 they immediately start posting abt how much they love Akechi and how they're their boyfriend and whatever, and I'm SICK AND TIRED. Some of y'all gotta beat Persona 5 and start talking about how Toranosuke Yoshida is your babygirl malewife, we can't ALL be Akechi's boy/girlfriend, some of us gotta want that old ass man.

Ren: If I had 100 yen for every time I helped out a politician in their time of need, I l'd have 200 yen. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.

Yoshida: The Ren kid is a good person. I hope he's putting my skills I taught him into a good use.
Ren, using his new found skills from Yoshida: PUT THE MONEY IN THE FUCKING BAG!
Persona: *tearfully handing over it's money*
Ren, cocking gun: MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aight so this may be my hottest take to date but having seen the discourse around Makoto on this site it must be said: People accusing Makoto and the entirety of P5 of bootlicking are fucking idiots.
Now, while IRL I'm under no illusion of the heroic 'good cop' that means to cure the corruption of the police force from the inside (given that most either quit or die doing so), P5 makes a very concerted effort to show on a more fantastical scale that it's not the individual that needs changing but the system.
Kamashida, Kaneshiro, Shido, by Qlipoth World they're among the rest of the disillusioned masses who in all facets of society, the police, education, crime and politics, turn a blind eye in apathy. That's why the final boss of vanilla P5 isn't Shido, the one corrupt individual who we'd all like to think is the source of all wrongs in society, but Yaldabaoth, the embodiment of the system that perpetuates it.
After the defeat of Yaldabaoth begins what we and the Thieves hope is a new day, with the metaverse gone the Thieves must now act to change the system through their actions in the real world, and this idea is furthered by the adult confidants of the game. Adults, who at the beginning of the game are all viewed by the player and the Thieves with animosity, who we see through confidants like Tora and Kawakami, are trying to change the system.
Makoto becoming a police officer is not only reinforced by her history with her father but as exemplified by Sae becoming a defence attorney is a statement that the system CAN change, not that we should seek to tear it all down but to make changes through policy both personal and political to do so. Almost as though that's the only things are gonna get better in real life.
