During the Reckoning Day, because of Yaldabaoth's actions, Maruki was corrupted by Azathoth and was twisted into a delusional person, who used his power to "save" humanity through creating a new world of his recognition, where everyone from the Phantom Thieves, even including Goro Akechi (whom he "revived" through the Protagonist's recognition), would live happily without their past troubles. He is also the final antagonist of Persona 5 Royal and the main entries of Persona 5 as a whole.īefore the Third Term, he served as a supporting character and Confidant, but is later revealed to be another Persona user with his own Persona, Azathoth, which later evolves into Adam Kadmon. Takuto Maruki is a major character of Persona 5 Royal, and later the main antagonist in its Third Term segment after taking over the role upon Yaldabaoth's defeat. Don't you, of all people, understand that!? But reality doesn't always make that so feasible! No matter how much you try, or work for so long, the smallest injustice can wipe it all out, leave you with nothing. Every person deserves to escape that! In all honesty, it's best for a person's growth when they tackle their own hardships. But where's the harm in that!? When it grows to be too much, too painful. It's true that I turned my back on the original reality. ~ Takuto Maruki to Joker and Goro Akechi, showing his new intentions. My reality can become just the way you like. Think about it, you both have dreams, no? I have the power to make them come true.
