You know, I actually really like the fact that Akechi didn't go through a standard redemption arc that you would first think they might do for him. There are differences in his character during the third semester and actions that he takes that shows he isn't actively against the other characters anymore, but he never had to "become good" for his role in the third semester to make sense. He is still irritable, still resentful, still angry. In fact, he is allowing himself to express his negative emotions more freely then he ever did before, and while I believe the third semester version of himself is still a version of him hidden by a mask, it's a version of himself that seems a lot closer to his natural self then the detective prince mask does
