if the version of akechi in the third semester is just Joker's 'ideal' version of him (rather than the og akechi actually being alive) then that implies he likes akechi crazy. He saw akechi's reveal as a complete maniac and thought that was cool.
Akechi comes back in maruki's world just as insane and angry as he was in the engine room and joker LIKES that.
