Good thing you specified Phantom Thieves because Akechi talks nothing but trash about Maruki

I like how everyone is nice to maruki and akechi is like, “CUT THE HIGH AND MIGHTY BULL S***!!!” Like bro just wanted to die for real

FUN FACT:
Neither ending is listed as the “bad” or “good” ending merely “stay” or “leave”

Eternally grateful the voice actor left us with this masterpiece

Billy Kametz truly had an amazing voice. Not just through Maruki, but through Noafumi, and any other character he voiced.

I felt so conflicted when I had to fight him. The thing he wants is noble, but the way he went about it was wrong imo. I love the fact that you use "I Believe" as the background music because it explains exactly why I and the characters can't accept his methods of making a happy world(as well as for me personally, I feel like a world with nothing but happiness makes the happiness meaningless)

I literally cry every time I hear his Theme because it gives that odd sense of enduring love through the high beats plus the lowest low harmonizing along side and just so over the fact that this man wanted to save everyone by making their desires come true is just heartwarming. I even guarded the first 10 turns against him because of my respect for him.

He was really just doing the right thing in the wrong way.

He's definitely a breath of fresh air compared to all the other villains of the game. As they were straight up corrupt and evil. Maruki was more like a lost soul who wanted literal peace and happiness for everyone.

I felt bad fighting Maruki but I knew it was the right thing

He isn't even that bad of a guy, and his intentions are fundamentally good. But his method is what bothers me; by eliminating the source of the emotional pain, you prevent people from addressing it properly, if at all. You keep them from developing into the characters we know and love.

With his ending, everyone gets the happy ending they want (and admittedly probably deserve), but they don't work for it. It's handed to them, wrapped in a neat little box with a bow on it. They don't develop into the characters we played as, grew attached to through interaction and personality, to truly appreciate their happy ending as much as they would if they were our characters. All of the hard work you put into developing your relationships with each character is wasted the moment you accept the Maruki Ending, because those characters effectively undergo complete ego death. They wear the faces of those you love, but they aren't truly your Phantom Thieves and confidants.
That is what pushes me to want to stop Maruki. I want to fight like hell for those I care about, not live in content with husks.

Antagonists don’t always mean villains. Once you pick up on that distinction, you’re able to really flourish with writing one.

I just started getting into Persona 5 Royal pretty recently and as soon as Maruki walked on screen I knew he would be my favorite character. I never stopped loving him throughout everything and it's very easy to see where he's coming from and why he's doing what he's doing. He's my favorite antagonist to ever exist and I love him so much.💖 RIP Billy Kametz, thank you so much for bringing Maruki's character to life, you are dearly missed.💞❤️

I remember being so shocked that he was a Palace Ruler because he didnt have any distored desires, he isnt evil

He is just a man who wants to help people but took the wrong path to do it

He has good intentions but he chose to exicute it wongly

Maruki did genuinely make me question if i was just in what I was doing, especially when Akechi's live was thrown into the mix cuz now we are dealing with a situation where if we chose freedom, Akechi will die but if we chose Maruki, we lose our freedom

Maruki is such an amazing character and villain, hell I wouldnt call him a villian, I would call him an Anti-Hero

Nyx and Maruki is probably the best Antagonist in Persona series for me so far... one being gave Peaceful Death and the other one gave Peaceful Life for all that wished it although their method is unredeemable.

I love the fact that through out p5r all the palaces owners have distorted desires from the 7 deadly sins, but maruki is different since he wanted to create a better world for everyone and to make theyre life be as painleds as possible, now thats a cool bad guy not the usual im a bad guy bc i do bad things; a bad guy could be as complex and while thougth as maruki
