For Want Of A Nail is now a disambiguation


* ForWantOfANail:
** Upon arriving in the past, Akechi finds himself feet away from Masayoshi Shido and takes the opportunity to punch him in the face, only realizing later that Akira was right there and was supposed to intervene and get framed for assaulting him. He attempts to set things back on course by giving the local cops a description of Akira, but thanks to Judge Kurusu's influence, it doesn't get back to Shido.
** Instead of Kaneshiro being targeted, Akechi instead goes after Akira's mother. [[spoiler:This leads to the domino effect of Akira still being brought to Tokyo anyway despite Akechi's initial plan.]]
** Due to Akechi changing things, [[spoiler:Futaba is now a combat capable member when she joins him by virtue of Futaba confronting the cognitions of her own Palace and her Shadow on her own with Morgana for company, while Akira becomes the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves, this time with the CodeName "Navi".]]

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: A variation, Akechi is already a canon character to begin with, but the final chapter reveals that this specific version of Akechi is also [[spoiler:the Akechi who's playable in the third semester of ''Royal'', having been taken from the new timeline he created and brought to the canon ''Royal'' timeline by Maruki. When he disappeared at the end of ''Royal'', it was explained as him returning to the new timeline instead of staying in Maruki's reality.]]

Adaptation Expansion goes after Adaptational Wimp because punctuation doesn't count.


* AdaptationExpansion:
** Akira's life before being framed and sent to Tokyo is greatly expanded on. His father is emotionally abusive and deeply controlling, and he's a bit isolated as a result. His mother walked out on them seven years ago and has no interest in being a part of her son's life ([[spoiler:or so his father claims - he said the opposite to her in order to drive a wedge between the two and keep him under his thumb]]).
** The woman from the assault incident, Megumi Kawaguchi, is given a name and some backstory. She notes that Shido refused to allow her to come to Tokyo to visit him, and that [[spoiler:she is pregnant with his child]].



** ''Royal'''s third semester villain [[spoiler:Takuto Maruki never discovers the Phantom Thieves' identities, never befriends them, and never becomes the new God of Control in the new timeline]]. Akechi notes that he's just living his normal life. This is Justified as Akechi is studying in a different school and didn't recruit any of the canonical thieves sans [[spoiler:Akira, Morgana, Futaba and Haru and as such, none of them had a chance to actually interact with Maruki for him to suspect about the presence of the Metaverse.]]

** Kawakami initially started out stand-offish to Joker in canon and it took until starting her Confidant for Kawakami to give him some slack. [[spoiler:Due to Akira transferring to Shujin and being aware that he transferred due to his parents being arrested, Kawakami is a lot more sympathetic to him.]]

It also helps that by that point, Kamoshida is no longer part of the faculty so there's no one to spread out or leak Akira's record or reason of transfer.]]



* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:The final chapter has Akechi affirm to the Akira from his original timeline that he'd rather refuse Maruki's deal so he could get back to the new timeline where he is more at home with the Phantom thieves that ''he'' created and founded, instead of the one that Akira himself started and founded in the original timeline. As far as Akechi's concerned, he has no place in the original timeline anymore. Once he hears the reason, Akira takes Akechi's decision in stride and rejects Maruki's deal to send Akechi back home to the new timeline.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Akechi's first action is preventing Akira from being falsely accused by Shido by punching him first. However, Akechi belatedly realize that without Akira, the Phantom Thieves never came to be and the lack of Phantom Thieves means that there won't be anybody strong enough to stop Shido. This forces Akechi had to fix things by bringing Akira and the original Phantom Thieves to get involved in any form and change the hearts of the Palace Owners that they had originally gone after in the original timeline.

* YouAreTooLate: A few weeks after decking Shido, Akechi tips the police off to Akira's description in an ill-thought-out attempt to correct Akira's destiny and get him sent to Tokyo. Fortunately for Akira, by this point Shido has given up on finding the culprit and Akira's father is able to bury the accusation.
