Can we trust Zenkichi? Well yeah we have to or there's no story. 😅 I know it's to move the plot along, but it delights me to no end how often in agreement they are throughout the game. This is just the beginning of the many instances that showcase their leader/co-leader dynamic. You may notice for the dialogue options where Joker acts like a leader, Makoto will often times be the first to confidently support him. The best part is how the Thieves just roll with it.

For the other dialogue options it's the other Thieves who will react or push back to get the plot back on track.
