** ''Royal''[='=]s TrueFinalBoss, [[TheShrink Takuto Maruki]], is widely regarded as the best boss battle in perhaps the entire franchise. He starts off with his Persona, Azathoth, shielding him from your attacks with his tentacles; you and your team must take advantage of their weaknesses to chain up Baton Passes so you can hit Maruki for enormous damage before they regenerate. However, every time the tentacles regenerate, Maruki uses his Actualization powers to forbid you from using certain abilities during a turn, forcing you to either rethink your strategies or delay your attacks until he puts a new restraint. However, the battle doesn't stop there; Maruki manages to ''have a second Awakening mid-battle'' -- just to show how much more powerful he is compared to the other targets you had to face and the Phantom Thieves ''combined'': Azathoth transforms into Adam Kadmon, a giant mech that almost lets him have the upper hand against the Phantom Thieves. Keyword is ''almost'', because at one point the Thieves all try to shield themselves from one of Adam Kadmon's skyscraper-leveling punches for Joker to ''climb up Adam and shoot its core to power it down.'' The final phase of the fight, although impossible to lose, still hits extremely hard: Joker and Maruki are both at their strength's end, and all they can do is throw weak punches against each other. This final boss is not only by far the game's biggest test in terms of how you mastered the game's battle mechanics, but also -- just like the entire Palace beforehand -- shows how ''different'' a target Maruki is compared to the other bosses; he is not driven by selfish gains at all, merely by the sheer sorrow of losing his girlfriend from a car accident that left her in a coma, and wants to use the powers of the Metaverse not to conduct any dastardly plans like Shido, but to create a perfect world so that no one needs to be hurt again out of his genuine desire not to make anyone suffer the same pain he had to go through. And that is made even more blatant by the vocal version of his battle theme, "Throw Away Your Mask", a somber, introspective song about Maruki's desire to not hurt anyone and how he also wants nothing but the best for the Phantom Thieves, even when he's facing them.

** The confrontation with the BigBad, [[CorruptPolitician Masayoshi Shido]]. Four forms, the last of which is a hulking monstrosity not unlike [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Senator Armstrong]], a dynamic and often dangerous fight to the finish, and a whole lot of catharsis for all of the suffering he's put everyone through. Part of what makes the bosses of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' incredible is how good the song "Blooming Villain" is, but Shadow Shido one-ups even that with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Rivers in the Desert"]], which many players name as the best song in the game's already high-grade soundtrack. It also plays during battle with the Holy Grail and the BonusBoss, but it debuts with and is seemingly tailor made for Shido to make his fight that much more incredible.
** The FinalBoss fight against Yaldaboath, God of Control. Not only is the boss by far the largest boss in the ''Persona'' series but the concept of the fight alone is amazing, essentially fighting the Demiurge, the antithesis to Igor, and Persona's answer to YHVH. The fight itself is a massive war of attrition as the boss summons weapons throughout the fight that have their own healthbars and movesets based off of the SevenDeadlySins requiring the player to constantly change party and tactics on the fly. Following the fight is an awesome scripted moment where Joker takes the belief of everyone to summon his ultimate persona Satanael, who is just as large as the boss and finishes it off with a BoomHeadshot from a revolver.

** The fight even uses some recurring music from a previous title... the random encounter theme. This is an accurate assessment of how much of a threat you pose to the boss, and the kind of highly specific BS you'll need to pull off to defeat him.
