I'm admiring how sneaky Shido's plan is. They'd built up the Phantom Thieves for the previous 2 months, during which Akechi talked shit about them to tank his own value/stand for his own justice. Now the Phantom Thieves' reputation is tanking, they're the target of a massive investigation (spearheaded by the SIU director and Sae), and have no idea how to proceed.

Enter Akechi, who gives some banal words of encouragement to the Phantom Thieves, saying how he doesn't believe they're behind the murder of Okumura or the Principal. It's a great way to entrap them and get rid of them in one fell swoop.

That is, unless, the Phantom Thieves were expecting something like this. All along, they've been thinking that everything has been set up way too perfectly. Glad they realise it before it's too late.

What interests me is that Akechi obviously knows who the Phantom Thieves are are at this point. He was there at Okumura's Palace when they first entered. Yet he hasn't told Shido or anyone else about this. He's trying to get Shido's acknowledgement as a father figure, but I guess he feels a kinship with the PT being relative outcasts to the social order.
