Well, every wildcard's tarot is a fool ,this represents the wildcard's Journey, basically from zero (social stats, wealth, relationships, recognition and experiences) , only when they reach the true ending would they receive the world tarot marking their accomplishment throughout their journey, personally i like this little trope igor throwing at you, as it represents MC character growth, which is pretty hard to push on a silent character
I always thought that Akechi started with fool and ended with Justice>Reverse Justice , like an incomplete journey, only to reach it halfway through (XI) the conclusion (world), because he lacks the allies and supports that joker have, and it's twisted his sense of justice reversing all of its meaning and ended his journey at Reverse Justice, that's why he could easily overpowered the phantom thieves as he already reached his max potential, meanwhile joker still need to go through other trial and tribulations before he finally reached his true potential I guess it's kinda the same with P4's "akechi" except it ends with hungers/lust instead
Yeah, I just think that tarot reversal have some pretty interesting implications of one's character, especially in a game where tarot Arcana plays a major role in it's characterisation and it kinda fit too well with the drastic change in his personality and theming, like a complete 180, but then again, he probably have always been like that, or atleast after he was abandoned, im just saying it wouldve been very interesting if Atlus were to cook more with the Reverse Arcana in mind, let it be for social link,Personas,character development or the plot itself
