[ Truthfully, Akechi had been similarly wary of Aefenglom, and it's certainly far from perfect in its handling of the Mirrorbound what with the whole mass kidnapping and torture thing he showed up immediately after. If called on it aloud he'd still stand by what he said.
He's not criticized out loud, however, though he hardly needs to be when that bit of snark is enough to turn his mood in a more negative direction. ]
Think of it like that if you want. It's just an observation.
[ Even if there's respect or admiration mixed up in the impossibly complicated mashup of emotions he feels towards Akira, something inside Akechi (it's the pride) rebels against idea of openly praising him outside of shallow encouragements shouted during battle. ]
