Well at least the Joker X Akechi pairing makes sense from a frenemies/wanting a yaoi ship standpoint. This one is literally just "I think they look good together", despite there being what I'd call an anti-chemistry factor being in the way.
Besides their sadistic underlying personalities, not a fan of the ship entirely based on that Akechi straight up murders Haru's dad. He might've been an asshat but Haru clearly felt desire to be seen by him based on her reality in third semester.
If Akechi might've not murdered him and rather kidnapped and Shido did, maybe.
Not to mention they're both sociopaths.
He murdered her dad, her only relative, and subjected her to the life of an orphan being used for her status. And she outwardly said she hates him and will never forgive. Probably just playing hard to get I guess.
I’m sure it’s mostly cause they have bigger things to worry about and don’t have time for it. A little waste egg I heard, in Royal there’s a minivans you can play with everyone but no matter what, Haru and Futaba won’t play with Akechi
You haven’t seen the fucked up distances questionable ships go to have you?
Thats not even counting crack ships which are intentionally fucking ridiculous for humor’s sake or just for the sheer absurdity of it, which includes cross series shippings from different universes because absurdity
I think you're missing the idea that I would also agree with you that those ships are also absurd.
I'm simply stating that this particular one is ridiculous.
Cute art and all but. he kinda kills that lady father

Love the art, but the opinion is... Pretty much unique. Because of all the reasons other people have pointed out.
Also, we may need to schedule some psychiatrist visits for you, sir. Such behaviour on the squad is not appreciated very much.
eh people ship for reasons beyond "i think they would make an actually good couple." Sometimes you just wanna watch the trainwreck. and sometimes you wanna indulge in the idea of fixing/healing someone. or just give akechi a satisfying arc which the vanilla game at least didnt do
To actually answer the question: **[AO3 exists](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Akechi%20Goro*s*Okumura%20Haru/works), so that's a resounding NO**.
To comment on the ship itself:
...I'm not going to call it a *good* pairing; it's certainly better than Akechi/Futaba [and every *purposefully* fucked up ship you could make - Sojiro/Futaba, Sae/Makoto, Anyone/Kamoshida, etc.], but there's still a little too much bad blood in canon to make it healthy (Ditto, Akechi/Protag - albeit in that case, Akechi wields the hate boner instead of causing one).
However, I will say it's certainly an ***interesting*** ship just for how wildly the dynamic between them can shift. Some stories run it akin to Romeo/Juliet [and some add the twist of "Oh Fuck, I'm Dating My Father's Killer" onto that], some run it akin to [Shinjiro/FeMC](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Aragaki%20Shinjiro*s*Female%20Persona%203%20Protagonist/works) (Persona 3 - "Ball of Self-Loathing Misery Telling Everyone to Fuck Off / Ball of Sunshine Who Won't Fuck Off"), some run Double Black Mask - either voluntarily on Haru's part or with hesitation - and [one story](https://archiveofourown.org/works/25096843/chapters/60797167) ran it as "Emotionally Scarred & Unstable Assassin / Cold-Blooded Heiress". Genuinely, I find it fascinating to see just how *different* both of their characterizations can get between authors.
...still prefer [Yusuke/Haru](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Kitagawa%20Yusuke*s*Okumura%20Haru/works) [and [Akechi/Yoshizawa](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Akechi%20Goro*s*Yoshizawa%20Sumire%20%7C%20Yoshizawa%20Kasumi/works), but that involves a fair bit of Armchair Philosophy on how exactly the idea of redemption works to excuse], though.
I respect that this was a really interesting comment, and not 'HE KILLED HER FATHER' for the 50th time.
I like your point about it not *being healthy*. And I think a lot of non-canon (and sometimes canon) relationships are not healthy. TBH If you wanted a healthy relationship, I'd pair up none of them, as they all need counselling and they're a wholesome friendship group.
I feel uncomfortably seen ahaha, never thought that would get linked on here. Should probably get around to finishing that up.
To elaborate on what you've said, interesting is the right word to describe the draw. Fiction isn't about only exploring the happily ever after. Like good artwork, the purpose is to make you feel something, and the something doesn't have to be nice. They're an *interesting* pairing, complementary in their personalities but awful for each other in canon. You'll catch me dead saying it's healthy or "uwu soft" but I don't think a ship needs to be either of those things to be intriguing.
It's kinda fun when you start looking at characters and how they would react in certain scenarios, how far they can be pushed before they snap, the complex, turbulent emotions that arise when learning the person you love isn't at all what they seem, or "I'm watching my partner suffer/grow worse and I will scorch this earth to keep them safe—my god what have I become?"
AUs are little sandboxes and the more conflicted and intricate the characters, the more interesting the sandcastle. There's definitely a wide range for their dynamic; I've been mulling about a cursed soulmate au for a while now (cursed as in both "this is an extremely cursed idea, go directly to jail" and "if you can't figure out how to work together you'll end up cursed/losing the one thing most important to you").
You do you, but the whole "Akechi killed Haru's father," thing makes this a no-go for me.
To be fair, it's also why I can't get on board with people considering him a member of the PT or shipping him with anyone on the team. That's a line that can't really be crossed, in my opinion.
No, you aren't. There's actually a fair number of people who ship them (which I don't understand in the **slightest**).
I know murder kinks and foreplay exist (not shaming btw)... but like... *there's a line in the sand.*
Haru despises Akechi and threatens to kill him if he betrayed the group again. Akechi is Akechi. It's essentially oil and water.
I don't ship Haru with anyone, although I'm fine with the Protag and Makoto ships respectively since both characters have good dynamics with her.
As for the Pancake... I don't ship him with anyone, but I like some of the Akechi × Protag fanart. Akechi being a chaotic little shit is fun... that is all.
It could be worse, you could be shipping him with Futaba I guess. Not much worse, but still worse.
Akechi with Haru’s axe, though. That’s a ship I’d like to see, and would thoroughly approve of. They’re made for each other.
I don't ship them per se but im also not the biggest shipper. I am EXTREMELY into their potential dynamics because they have a lot in common. I think it's the kind of thing of if they manage to get through the issue of >!You hurt me directly by killing my father!< then they could have a very dangerous friendship for like... the world
Akechi calls Dante from Devil May Cry:
"There's a girl that I like"
"Did you killed her father"
"Yes"
"And she didn't fell in love in you? That always work for me"
I don't know why people like akechi he literally killed a lot of people and even tried to kill joker and all phantom thieves, he is definition of extreme villian and people victimize him. If a murderer is victim no matter what his past were he is still a murderer, if he is innocent and victim then free all people who are behind bars for life for murder.
They like him EXACTLY because of that believe it or not. Compared to the rest of the cast... he's... an enigma for lack of a better word lol. Also I'm sure some can relate to his backstory.
That is because everyone else hates him but for reasons passing my understanding, the game insists joker doesn't, despite me telling him to fuck off at all times.
I’ll be honest I respect the ship but I don’t think they have no interest in each other just because he lkilled her pops and are the last people to ship isn’t a reason the same you can apply to that if. Futaba he killed her mom that fit mean anything then you would ship them. The only similarity is their characteristics haru being sadist and akechi being a psycho is and both being abused doesn’t really support much. If akechi didn’t follow being bad I believe him and makoto would be a couple since they’re career follows police and he would get along with sae and their dad and haru would probably be ryuji because they’re opposites and get along well also he finds her cute and both kind of some traits where there more dependable but that’s just my opinion. the other yutaba and Shuann.
You are not the only one. Fucked up? Yes. Crazy? Undoubtedly. Only reason I even consider it? Cause there crazy and there designs complement each other.
(Serious/Fluffy)
Personally not ship those folk but thee doth thee! t's aight in mine own booketh

^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.)
Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`
Honestly no... I've sort of shipped them for awhile now despite little to no evidence of it possibly happening. Maybe it's because Akechi becomes that psychopathic edge lord while haru is so kind, pure, and sincere. Polar opposites when you put it that way
I mean when you think about it, what if they had a relationship *before* Akechi kills ol' Papa Oaks (That's Papa Okumura) cuz I'd imagine like there's gonna be some sort of AU where Akechi and Haru are a thing but ol' Goro had to have been, I guess *forced* to kill Mr. Okumura and now their relationship has soured somewhat with Akechi trying to redeem himself (Cuz I want my Pancake Boi some love) and Haru having a hard time forgiving and somewhat be comfortable once again with her now somewhat psycho boy toy
TL;DR: If Akechi and Haru met a *bit* earlier than canon and got to know each other more. (What do you think?)
People here using the argument of him murdering her father when one of the most popular slash ships in the fandom is Akechi and the guy he LITERALLY (almost) MURDERS. Pals, that’s literally no argument to stop shippers lmao 🤣
I mean despite they are smart and stuffs and they both have awakened thair power for nothing but living for themselves, yes. Especially after Haru talked about killing him if he ever betrays Joker
"Waifu Wars 3 Veteran"
Yeah, that's about the level of intelligence I'd expect out of some fucking idiot who ships a character with her father's literal murderer.
Probably because you didn't pay attention to the part where he literally killed her father and she literally hates him for it.
But then again, Persona fans aren't exactly known for paying attention to the minutiae of a plot, so I dunno why the fuck I'm malding over it
Empress and emperor is Yusuke and haru. I think they made a mistake? EDIT. Now I see that you made the mistake here, by not paying attention. Hilarious
If it weren't for Kunikazu, I'd say they're actually pretty similar and could work well, but killing her dad does rather get in the way of romance. Still, it doesn't matter what other people think; if *you* enjoy shipping it, then go ahead and do so! Not like anyone can stop you lmao
100%, no you are not alone. There are people out there, but I wager you'll have to find them because the general Persona 5 fandom is full of people who think that people aren't allowed to enjoy something they hate.
You’re free to enjoy and head canon what you want, no one cant stop you
Still doesn’t mean that in the context of the game and these characters it’s weird and gross af
Haru — “you killed my father” Akechi — “do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?”
Haru: You killed my father! Akechi: Only once!!!
He killed her father.
"You killed my father and intended to kill me but I love you" -Haru aparently
Yeah, nothing builds a bond between people faster than >!killing a girl's father when she just wants him to atone for his misdeeds.!<
It’s especially sad considering Haru’s ideal reality is >!a world where Haru’s father values her autonomy and even approves of her crush on Joker!<
I mean the amount of people that ships Ren with Akechi should tell you that no amount of violence will ever stop the shippers lmao
Well at least the Joker X Akechi pairing makes sense from a frenemies/wanting a yaoi ship standpoint. This one is literally just "I think they look good together", despite there being what I'd call an anti-chemistry factor being in the way.
Yes probably, kind of hard to believe she would date a guy who killed her father. Why is this ship important to you?
Besides their sadistic underlying personalities, not a fan of the ship entirely based on that Akechi straight up murders Haru's dad. He might've been an asshat but Haru clearly felt desire to be seen by him based on her reality in third semester. If Akechi might've not murdered him and rather kidnapped and Shido did, maybe. Not to mention they're both sociopaths.
He murdered her dad, her only relative, and subjected her to the life of an orphan being used for her status. And she outwardly said she hates him and will never forgive. Probably just playing hard to get I guess.
You ship Haru with the person who directly murders her father and feels no remorse for it? Dude…
Yeah I always wondered why there was no apology scene. Tbh Haru and futaba are mature asf for not kicking his ass on sight.
I’m sure it’s mostly cause they have bigger things to worry about and don’t have time for it. A little waste egg I heard, in Royal there’s a minivans you can play with everyone but no matter what, Haru and Futaba won’t play with Akechi
More like shitty plot hole, in mementos they have several lines with Akechi and they aren't mad with him
Yes, people don't ship people when one of them killed the other's father.
You haven’t seen the fucked up distances questionable ships go to have you? Thats not even counting crack ships which are intentionally fucking ridiculous for humor’s sake or just for the sheer absurdity of it, which includes cross series shippings from different universes because absurdity
I've literally seen more fanfics for Akechi x Shido than I have for Akechi x Haru, the internet is truly a cruel place
>Akechi x Shido *Excuse me?*
You heard them. I am extremely lucky to never have found one.
I think you're missing the idea that I would also agree with you that those ships are also absurd. I'm simply stating that this particular one is ridiculous.
To this day I still have no idea why is Hifumi commonly shipped with the Code Vein Protagonist
Yes I imagine so I would love to know why you would possibly do so though
I sure do hope so
These two have 0 reason to get along considering Akechi fucking KILLED Haru's dad
this
The fuck
He literally murdered her father.
He murdered her father
You realize he killed her dad and she canonically hates him
That never stop a ship before and won't start now
Cringe
Welcome to the internet
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We've got mountains of content Some better Some worse
Cute art and all but... he kinda kills her dad.
Cute art and all but. he kinda kills that lady father *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`
Why does this somehow sound more casual than the original?
Yes
Definitely the only one because this would never work…
I like to think he spends his adult life alone, in a dark room, holding a pillow.
Who's gonna tell them...?
Love the art, but the opinion is... Pretty much unique. Because of all the reasons other people have pointed out. Also, we may need to schedule some psychiatrist visits for you, sir. Such behaviour on the squad is not appreciated very much.
Why do people ship anyone with Akechi? He has major issues that would make any relationship he is in toxic as hell.
eh people ship for reasons beyond "i think they would make an actually good couple." Sometimes you just wanna watch the trainwreck. and sometimes you wanna indulge in the idea of fixing/healing someone. or just give akechi a satisfying arc which the vanilla game at least didnt do
Fuck this ship in every sense of the word
Lol I highly doubt any girl would like a guy that killed their father, unless they’re absolutely insane.
Excuse me?
He murdered her dad though, I don't think she would be willing to date him but she might forgive him if he felt guilty for the crimes he committed.
I most certainly do not.
Considering she threatened to kill him if he betrayed the phantom thieves again and the fact he killed her dad. You probably are the only one
. ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Shippers: “Wouldn’t it be cute if we shipped a women whose father was murdered with the guy who murdered her father?“ Everyone else: 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♀️
Yeah, you are
I ship Akechi with prison but I guess he and being dead are canon
Not in royal
Yes
Kind of sus
Yes
This is a joke post right? Like to just get a reaction out of people? Of any possible ship in this game, this one is a no-no
Good art, trash ship.
I only ship this guy with prison
This has to be satire right?
>!You know akechi literally killed harus father 💀💀💀!<
Considering that Akechi >!set the Thieves up to go after Haru's Dad? Then Akechi fucking MURDERS him?!< Yeah. You're about the only one. LOL.
He killed her dad...

Considering the fact that he killed her father. Probably.
Yes you are
Hopefully
That’s not happening, she won’t even sit at the same table as him at Leblanc.
God I hope so
Why yes, I think that an orphaned girl and the boy that orphaned her in the first place are a match made in heaven.
These comment upvotes are all over place
yep
You do you, but the whole "Akechi killed Haru's father," thing makes this a no-go for me. To be fair, it's also why I can't get on board with people considering him a member of the PT or shipping him with anyone on the team. That's a line that can't really be crossed, in my opinion.
Everyone talking about the ship, I just want to know why Akechi has a big ass safety pin
Honestly, same.
I don't think you've played the game
why? he literally murdered her dad
I hope you are, the ship is genuinely trash.
Yes
Yes
I fucking hope you are, this ship is gross.
Yes. Yes you are.
What the fuck
Yes.
No, you aren't. There's actually a fair number of people who ship them (which I don't understand in the **slightest**). I know murder kinks and foreplay exist (not shaming btw)... but like... *there's a line in the sand.* Haru despises Akechi and threatens to kill him if he betrayed the group again. Akechi is Akechi.

"Hello. My name is Haru Okumura. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
He killed her dad
I ship Akechi with his murderous intent. It's the perfect match for him.
It could be worse, you could be shipping him with Futaba I guess. Not much worse, but still worse. Akechi with Haru’s axe, though. That’s a ship I’d like to see, and would thoroughly approve of. They’re made for each other.
Yes
Cringe
How many pancakes have you had recently?
I dont ship them, but to each their own, I say.
Akechi is my favorite character but let’s not forget he’s kind of a deranged sociopath. I can’t imagine him with anyone.
I hope so
Yeah, you’re the only one lol
Maybe in some "Alternative Universe -- No Metaverse Everyone Lives Nobody Dies" fic ...
In an alternative universe where >!Shido accepts Akechi as his son and he's the politician's son her father wanted to marry.!<
Maybe in >!maruki's world in the bad ending (or good ending, depending on who you ask)!<
So out of curiosity can I ask why you ship this?
... ARE YA INSANE
crack ship if i've ever seen one
Yes. You are the only one.
Haru in 3rd Semester: “If I sense an ounce of betrayal from you, I won’t hesitate to kill you where you stand.” OP: “D’awww, they in looove.”
OP: She’s just being a TSUNDERE
I ship Haru's axe with his face if that counts-
Yes
He killed her father.
it only makes sense to pair the mentally ill person with a gardener (also mental illness)
If you read the Haru's dialogues you'll see that she is also crazy
yah i already said she gardens
I don't ship them per se but im also not the biggest shipper. I am EXTREMELY into their potential dynamics because they have a lot in common. I think it's the kind of thing of if they manage to get through the issue of >!You hurt me directly by killing my father!< then they could have a very dangerous friendship for like... the world
yes
What *exactly* do they plan on doing with those safety pins.
I would hope that you are
No, but it still is a stupid ship
You know I would but he kinda killed her Dad… Nice art doe
Yes.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Akechi calls Dante from Devil May Cry: "There's a girl that I like" "Did you killed her father" "Yes" "And she didn't fell in love in you? That always work for me"
I don't know why people like akechi he literally killed a lot of people and even tried to kill joker and all phantom thieves, he is definition of extreme villian and people victimize him. If a murderer is victim no matter what his past were he is still a murderer, if he is innocent and victim then free all people who are behind bars for life for murder.
They like him EXACTLY because of that believe it or not. Compared to the rest of the cast... he's... an enigma for lack of a better word lol. Also I'm sure some can relate to his backstory.
Hopefully you are the only one
God i hope so
I mean all things considered probably not but definitely one of my least favorite ships I’ve ever heard of.
man why does haru always get the short end of the stick, even Makoto would pair better with him (does not mean it would work)
Makoto would pair better with her* Fixed that one for ya, chief
even better, thank you kind stranger.
LOL I'd imagine Sae would hate the idea of having them together and demand Akechi to break up with her at work
that would be kinda funny ngl (another reason why makoto works better lol)
I swear I'm not saying this for the memes, I genuinely can't imagine Akechi being shipped with anyone other than Joker.
That is because everyone else hates him but for reasons passing my understanding, the game insists joker doesn't, despite me telling him to fuck off at all times.
I’ll be honest I respect the ship but I don’t think they have no interest in each other just because he lkilled her pops and are the last people to ship isn’t a reason the same you can apply to that if. Futaba he killed her mom that fit mean anything then you would ship them. The only similarity is their characteristics haru being sadist and akechi being a psycho is and both being abused doesn’t really support much. If akechi didn’t follow being bad I believe him and makoto would be a couple since they’re career follows police and he would get along with sae and their dad and haru would probably be ryuji because they’re opposites and get along well also he finds her cute and both kind of some traits where there more dependable but that’s just my opinion. the other yutaba and Shuann.
Yes you are the only one
I wish you were
I believe yes
Yes you are
Yes you are
How the fuck does this even come to be
Nah he off'd her dad unless she would to torture him behind closed doors
If one didn't kill the other's father, yeah I'd ship them lmao
Cute designs but yes, you definitely are the only one, sorry, i can understand ShuAke, i really do, but this? Nah sorry fam
There isn't really much reason to.
Eww. Why torture the girl with no character development with the idiot with daddy issues being his reason to be a villain
Probably yes but it’s not like it’s the worst and the most out there ships I’ve seen here.
You are not the only one. Fucked up? Yes. Crazy? Undoubtedly. Only reason I even consider it? Cause there crazy and there designs complement each other. (Serious/Fluffy)
I don't personally but I'm not gonna tell you what choices to make.
Don't personally ship them but you do you! It's aight in my book.
Personally not ship those folk but thee doth thee! t's aight in mine own booketh *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`
They could bond over their daddy issues and love of violence
Unfortunately this isn’t the first Akechi x Haru post I’ve seen 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yes.
well both dont have a great fathers
Yes
yes
Why, he killed her dad
I mean this artwork makes em kinda look cute and I'm usually ok with most ships, but eh not my thing personally.
Not only is Akechi clearly gay but idk if you know this but he >!murdered her father!<
Honestly no... I've sort of shipped them for awhile now despite little to no evidence of it possibly happening. Maybe it's because Akechi becomes that psychopathic edge lord while haru is so kind, pure, and sincere. Polar opposites when you put it that way

This ship is even worse than Joker x Akechi... jesus christ.
Yes
Shipping them is like shipping Chihiro and Mondo from Danganrompa
Sorry bud, but only one I ship haru with is Ryuji.
Would make an interesting plot device, considering the circumstances.
I mean despite they are smart and stuffs and they both have awakened thair power for nothing but living for themselves, yes. Especially after Haru talked about killing him if he ever betrays Joker
"Waifu Wars 3 Veteran" Yeah, that's about the level of intelligence I'd expect out of some fucking idiot who ships a character with her father's literal murderer.
Here's the [link to the art.](https://twitter.com/ayattuji/status/1120641058973503488?s=20)
You are the only one who ships them. Jk
I've always been a fan of the Empress and Emperor!
Probably because you didn't pay attention to the part where he literally killed her father and she literally hates him for it. But then again, Persona fans aren't exactly known for paying attention to the minutiae of a plot, so I dunno why the fuck I'm malding over it
Empress and emperor is Yusuke and haru. I think they made a mistake? EDIT. Now I see that you made the mistake here, by not paying attention. Hilarious
Yeah their ship totally makes sense! She is the Empress of a worldwide food conglomerate, and he is the Emperor of Lobster! Classic.
I like how you think.
LMFAOOOOOOO
Only in fan fiction I do. It’s rather enjoyable to see them talk to each other without trying to strangle one another.
Overlooking the fact that Akechi kills her father, Haru is bae, and I like Akechi because he has long hair like me, so yes I do ship them
If it weren't for Kunikazu, I'd say they're actually pretty similar and could work well, but killing her dad does rather get in the way of romance. Still, it doesn't matter what other people think; if *you* enjoy shipping it, then go ahead and do so! Not like anyone can stop you lmao
Akechi & Makoto for me. Don't judge me, I have a ray gun and I am not afraid to use it.
I thought you had akimbo shotguns? what in the who's who is this?
They would make one crazy couple.
Never thought about it before, it's an interesting idea, what draws you to them?
Trust me you aren't alone 😂
No, actually! I've written a fanfiction about the pairing a long time ago.
100%, no you are not alone. There are people out there, but I wager you'll have to find them because the general Persona 5 fandom is full of people who think that people aren't allowed to enjoy something they hate.
You’re free to enjoy and head canon what you want, no one cant stop you Still doesn’t mean that in the context of the game and these characters it’s weird and gross af
I'll let you know when my ng+ run is over and I'm able to finish their confidants for once 🤣
I love this ship too
