( Personality ) : “I, who win everything, am always right.”
When coming to personality, Akashi is kind of a mixbag. In one side, he is caring and gentle, while in other side, he’s merciless and prideful. It’s like Akashi has “dual personality” and it's unpredictable to tell which one will he act on. Even Midorima, his vice-captain, stated that there are 2 different Akashis and left confused on which one is the “real” him.
Akashi start off by showing that he is a calm and gentle person with a good attitude, everyone can’t deny his “perfection” as a person. Because of this, almost everyone respected and admired him. He was also shown to be extremely considerate with his comrades, nagging at them and tell them to do things the right way , and Aomine even marked Akashi as the Generation of Miracles’ “Mother”.
Not only he has some good attitudes, but Akashi is shown to be extremely intelligent. Right off after he joined Teiko Basketall Club, Nijumura, Teiko’s captain at that time, quickly recognized Akashi’s intelligence and that was why Nijimura recommended him to be promoted as Teiko’s captain.
Akashi is also a great shogi player, and an amazing strategist. He is the type of a person that plans a step further from his opponent without them being aware of it. A good example of this is when he faced of Shutoku High. He “intentionally” slowed down for the first 2 quarters, just to observe his opponents’ weaknesses and then broke them down on the last 2 quarters, even Takao and Midorima stated that they were not aware that they had been caught in Akashi’s trap.
Aside of his intelligence, Akashi also possesses great leadership skills and an insanely great charisma. He was able to make a group of prideful people like the Generation of Miracles knuckles down to him, respected him very much and also lead them to their glorious days. This also happens in his days at Rakuzan High, he was also able to make the 3 Uncrowned Generals let him to lead the team, even though those 3 people are also extremely prideful.
His charisma was displayed when he said that he will gouge out his eyes if they lose the match against Shutoku. Even though it sounded crazy, his teammates actually believed it and later became more serious on the game. This shows that everyone takes Akashi’s word seriously, and it easily influences and inspires his teammates.
But as I said, despite all those “perfection” Akashi can also be a merciless and bastard-like person. He gladly eliminates people that he thinks unworthy anymore. Just like he disposed Haizaki from Teiko Basketball Club, stating that Haizaki can only cause trouble and it was better to let him out from the team. He also dislikes people who disobeyed him, or look down on him. He stated that he will gladly “kill” those who oppose him. His seriousness is shown when he attacked Kagami with a scissors right after Kagami refused to leave as Akashi ordered him.
Akashi is also extremely prideful. Maybe the most prideful person in the GoM. Akashi usually says phrases like “My orders are absolute.” Or “I, who always win, am always right.” This may sound arrogant, but arrogant may not be the best way to describe it. It’s more like pride, because it is true that Akashi never experiences any failure in his life yet, and no one has proven him wrong once. That is why he always believes that he knows everything and what he do is always right.
But even though he is a genius, he is different than that of Aomine. While Aomine becomes too strong and too skilled until he is bored and slacks off on practice, Akashi is different. Despite being “perfect”, he never stopped training. In fact, he is extremely hardworking. Even their teammates are confused why a genius like Akashi can be so hardworking. But Akashi will do everything to achieve victory, because winning like him is like breathing, so it’s a must to have it.
Around his friends, he’s quite friendly and attentive, as I stated above. He is also caring but also strict.
Around his enemies, he is shown to be extremely cautious and merciless at the same time, and will do whatever it takes to win.
Around strangers, he act normal but at the same time cautious and showed no mercy if they dare to oppose him.
So to sum up, Akashi is a mixbag (as far as the series now) he has some of that may call dual personality, have a good side, but has some evil side too, but nevertheless, he’s someone I call near to perfect.
