In short, Maruki fully awakens to his persona with the special ability to rewrite cognition. If you finish Maruki’s Confidant Arc by the time that he leaves the school, Maruki completes a belated Cognitive Psience paper that he was working on with funding from a college in Toyko and winds up applying his theory when Mementos merges with the real world. He then exits the story until after the defeat of the God of Control. He says he supports the thieves and their justice but he has to go a separate way. At the end of his confidant arc, Maruki reveals that he’s known that Joker’s group were the Phantom Thieves since he saw them exit the Cognitive world during the first heist. Over the course of his confidant, Joker gives Maruki his perspective on some of Maruki’s research, which is later revealed to be Cognitive Psience. The Phantom Thieves, due to their involvement in the Kamoshida incident are mandated by the school to talk to him as the game progresses, most of the team members form some sort of connection to him, save for Akechi and Futaba (I believe) as Akechi is only a Phantom Thief when his goals align with the team and Futaba isn’t a student.Įven Yoshizawa and Yusuke interact with Maruki, as Yusuke goes out of his way to do so after hearing about him from the other thieves and he was Yoshizawa’s counselor after the death of her sister. He’s kind, emphatic and insightful and genuinely wants to help anyone seeking his services. What’s important here is that Maruki wasn’t in the original game and that does a disservice to everyone who played it.įor the vast majority of P5R, Maruki is just the high school counselor who was brought in to the school in the aftermath of the Kamoshida incident as a means of damage control. We can talk about how Demiurge/Yaldabaoth/Yagor/Jägermeister (or whatever you want to call him) is straight trash and shouldn’t be the overarching antagonist of Persona 5 another time, but that’s not what’s important here. Maruki is the Councillor Arcana in Persona 5 Royal and is a fantastic character that the original game was sorely lacking.
