This is an analysis for a headcanon I have for Akechi; that headcanon being that he has borderline personality disorder as he feels (in my personal opinion) very BPD coded and I wanted to go in depth of his behavior and actions that may correlate to him having such a disorder.
A disclaimer to those that read this: 1. Again this is a headcanon, it's not like Atlus intended for this in any form but it certainly is a coincidence that he as a character exhibits enough behavior that specifically falls in line with this disorder.
2. I have BPD, I'm not just pulling this out of my ass and slapping the label of a highly stigmatized disorder onto a character that is already perceived as very "problematic" in a majority of the fandom's cognition. I am someone who believes very strongly in the quote of "people's favorite characters usually reflect their personality or what kind of personality they admire" and Akechi is my top favorite in P5 and as I have found, I relate very strongly to Akechi. In short, I have BPD, I relate strongly to Akechi, I can see aspects of myself in Akechi, I am not bullshitting this.
With that said, the actual analysis is going under a read more since it's very long.
This link is an addition to this post with more information, so it is recommended you read this one instead.
