Trivia / Persona 5 Adult Confidant AU

• Approval of God: Xanthe Huynh, the voice actress for Haru Okumura, is a fan of Scruffy's artworks, and provided her voice for adult Haru.
• Role Reprise: Xanthe Huynh reprises her role as Haru for a brief animated skit.
• Schedule Slip: Due to large amount of commission works from Patreon, Scruffy hasn't worked much on the series since mid-2020.
• What Could Have Been: On April 14, 2024, Scruffy shared a document revealing plans for the ACAU set up since 2018.
  • For Joker, it was to be revealed that there is no ACAU counterpart, but instead the original Joker from Persona 5's Bad Ending. The ACAU is meant to be a Stealth Sequel after Joker gave in to Yaldaboth's demand, only for him to regret what he's done and team up with Lavenza to stop him. Without the bonds of his Confidants nor the public support, Joker is forced to rely on a desperate attack that resets the universe and alters the age of the characters Joker personally knows, akin to Persona 2: Innocent Sin. The penultimate conflict before fighting Yaldaboth will be a debate between Joker and Sojiro over whether or not Joker should restore the old universe at the cost of the strong bonds Sojiro made with his teammates, which leads to a third option where they are able to preserve both worlds after defeating Yaldaboth.
  • In regards to Masayoshi Shido and his father Goro, Shido, despite his snooty attitude is generally a nice guy and is implied to be a proper Phantom Thief with his Persona Arsene. On the opposite side with Goro, he gets the memories of the original Goro Akechi, causing him to view the ACAU as a fake world and lash out at the world in rage.
