'''Style:''' [[ChargedAttack Zoning]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Japanese) and TaraPlatt (English)
One of the founding members of S.E.E.S., a group of Gekkoukan High School students and Persona users. After graduating, Mitsuru became part of a clique of elites in her college, while still attending to the needs of the struggling Kirijo Group. To this end, she requested a meeting with the police (as well as Naoto Shirogane) to help her establish the Shadow Operatives, a private paramilitary organization composed of her fellow S.E.E.S. alumni, dedicated to controlling Shadow-related activity and keeping an eye on Persona users. Her Persona, Artemisia, specializes in ice magic and has the ability to analyze the weaknesses of Shadows, as well as communicate with other Persona users. Before Mitsuru found her resolve and evolved it, her Persona was once known as Penthesilea.
Some time after the events of the Midnight Channel Murders, she meets with Naoto Shirogane and briefly consults her regarding the information regarding the hijacking of some cargo, and personally summons Akihiko Sanada to assist her in recovering it. After travelling to Inaba to search for the cargo, she learns of the "P-1 Grand Prix". Suspicious of such an event, Mitsuru decides to participate and look into the Grand Prix.
Mitsuru's Instant Kill is '''Niflheim'''. Artemisia flies high into the air and drops its whip like a hook, latching onto the opponent and carrying them into the air as they are slashed and frozen simultaneously. Mitsuru bids them adieu as she stabs them through the ice, completing her [[FateWorseThanDeath execution]].

* CombatCommentator: An [[UnlockableContent unlockable]] option.
* CombatStilettos: She finishes Myriad Arrows by [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown kicking her crumpling opponent]]. This final kick can be charged for massive damage.
* ComfortingComforter: In one of her winposes, she'll use her coat as this for her unconscious opponent.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While she already had her CharacterDevelopment in the past, before her fight against Yosuke, he calls her an ice queen.
* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Yu's ExactWords moment (mentioned above) didn't fool her. She's quite aware that he and the rest of the P4 cast plan to get involved no matter what she says, and they they will likely cross paths again in the future.

* GratuitousFrench: She peppers in a bit of this instead of GratuitousEnglish in the English one.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yukari, their bond has only gotten stronger after all these years, though it experiences a minor hiccup in the beginning of the game. Their bond is highlighted further in Yukari's ending.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: As the new leader of Kirijo Group she has made it her vow to clean it up and directly confront its DarkAndTroubledPast.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Wearing a fur coat in a fighting game. [[spoiler:Her ''Ultimax'' ending even has her taking out some thugs while donned in a beautiful new set of casual clothes that Yukari bought for her.]]
* JackOfAllStats: Other than Yu, she's one of the most balanced characters.
* LadyOfWar: She's graceful and proper, as she was raised to be, and uses a [[RoyalRapier rapier]] with finesse and precision.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utwcIlVaee4 Missons for the Brilliant Executioner]]''. For [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Mitsuru]], ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eASCilbZKGc Shadow]]''.
* PrettyInMink: Wears a huge white fur coat, fitting for someone of her wealth and position. It's so fitting that no one seems to think it's weird that she fights in her fur, while they comment a lot on the catsuit.
* RoyalRapier: With a [[PowerGlows flashing]] [[TechnicolorBlade red]] blade.

* SpyCatsuit: The attire is lampshaded and made a RunningGag in-universe as being very conspicuous.
* StandardStatusEffects: Most of Artemisia's moves can Freeze, her infamous Marin Karin inflicts Charm, and ''Ultimax'' gives Mitsuru a variation of Tentarafoo, which inflicts Confusion.
* TeamMom: Despite her notoriously aloof personality, Mitsuru is an exceptionally wise and kind mother figure to the cast, especially towards Labrys and Yukiko.

[[caption-width-right:200:The man who lusts for power returns!]]
-->''"I've been waiting for this moment!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Emperor\\
'''Persona:''' Caesar\\
'''Main Weapon:''' [[BareFistedMonk Fists]]\\
'''Style:''' [[BoxingBattler Boxing]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Japanese) and Creator/LiamOBrien (English)
A veteran of S.E.E.S. and close friend of Mitsuru. After his little sister died in a house fire, Akihiko resolved himself to become strong in order to protect those he cares about. While cool-headed and good-natured, he is somewhat socially awkward. His Persona was once Polydeuces, but after the death of his best friend Shinjiro Aragaki he found a new resolve and his Persona evolved into Caesar, which specializes in physical attacks and can also use electricity.
After graduating, Akihiko entered college, but decided to focus on perfecting his punch and becoming the best fighter in the world, dropping out in the process. Upon learning of the "P-1 Grand Prix", Mitsuru sends an invitation to Akihiko to join her. Eager to battle a new generation of Persona users, Akihiko returns to Japan.
Akihiko's Instant Kill is '''Earth Breaker'''. Caesar produces a globe within its hand that begins sucking the opponent in. If they touch the globe, they are miniaturized and fall onto the globe, and are shocked to see a mysterious object careening downward on top of them. The object turns out to be Akihiko, with his fists extended as he punches the opponent downward onto the globe, causing a visible explosion on the upper portion of the globe, as seen through a zoomed-out view.
----
* AttackItsWeakpoint: When Yu hits the globe in Caesar's hands during the events of the manga, it causes the Persona to outright '''''explode'''''.
* {{Badass}}: When he's attacked by a couple of gun-wielding goons in his story mode, he dodges their bullets, that is all.
* BadassCape: Which can also double as a hood.
* BadassInDistress: Is kidnapped at the beginning of ''Ultimax'' alongside Mitsuru, Aigis, and Fuuka.
* BareFistedMonk: He fills this roll as the resident boxer.
* ExtremityExtremist: In contrast to Chie, Akihiko uses mainly his fists.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Manages to catch Yu's katana in this fashion during their battle in the manga.
* BigBrotherMentor: Acts as one for Chie, [[spoiler:who refers to him as 'Master' in the end of her story, although Akihiko is embarrassed by it.]]
* BoxingBattler: Still fights like a boxer, and relies more on his fists than his Persona.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Using only his fists to deal the majority of his damage, if not ''all'' of it, Akihiko has to get in real close to gain momentum over his opponent. To enhance this, his ducking and weaving special moves will bypass projectiles. He does have one or two exceptions however. His awakened super covers the entire screen (albeit with some wind-up), and what few persona attacks he has gives him just a little bit of extended reach.
* CoolSword: Caesar's main weapon.
* CounterAttack: Dodge Strike. Not as direct as most examples because it negates the damage of an incoming strike and gives you an opening to take advantage of via the ability to cancel into various moves. If you choose to do nothing, you will instead get free SP.
* DumbMuscle: Akihiko is quite intelligent (see SequenceBreaking, for example), [[NoSocialSkills but his people skills need a bit of work]]. Several of the game's SugarWiki/FunnyMoments are due to him saying things he really should keep to himself.
* DynamicEntry: Akihiko likes doing these, but they're not as frequent as with Elizabeth. Heck in Chie's story, he makes an introduction by [[spoiler:''punching Kanji through a wall'']], while in his story, he simply punches the door open to the Announcement Room.
* EvolvingAttack: His Cyclone Level increases as he's chaining certain attacks, which then gives new properties to those same attacks as well as his Cyclone Uppercut super. The level caps at 3 (5 in the sequel) and resets when he's done chaining attacks.
* {{Flanderization}}: Went from being a kind, if aloof, BigBrotherMentor type with an unhealthy need to get stronger driven by his sister's death to a borderline DumbMuscle BloodKnight whose life outside of the Shadow Operatives revolves around fighting for the sheer heck of it (the guy dropped out of college to go on that journey). There's also his love of protein, and unlike Chie's obsession with meat, the number of times Akihiko mentions protein in any way in ''Persona 3'' can be counted on one hand. [[spoiler:As his ending in ''Ultimax'' shows, he's not quite over the training part either, as the narrative states that he finds college a nuisance.]]
* FriendlyRivalry: With fellow ExtremityExtremist and protein lover Chie.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Despite having picked up quite a lot during his training expedition, Akihiko's scars are all surprisingly tidy.
* GravityMaster: One of Caesar's abilities.
* InTheHood: His cape also has a hood in it.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0SpO70YYjQ The Wandering Wolf]]''. For [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Akihiko]], ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNGQ7BL0BGI Crisis]]''.
* LightningBruiser: His punches are powerful as they are fast. They can also be enhanced with electricity, making him a literal [[DontExplainTheJoke Lightning Bruiser]]. He's fast, strong, and has decent HP. His only weakness is a lack of range, which he compensates for with his speed.
* MacheteMayhem: Carries a machete around his belt, though you never get to see him use it.
* MrFanservice: Just like back in ''Persona 3''. He's constantly shirtless, has rippling muscles and is very handsome.
* PointlessBandAid: Has one around his left leg for whatever reason. He also has one on the left side of his forehead, the same place he had one for the duration of ''Persona 3''.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: His Kill Rush special. You can even fit more punches in if you SP boost it, which increases the move's duration for more rapid-fire punching.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:Expresses an interest in becoming a cop one day during his ending, having been inspired by Chie's tenacity and Kurosawa's dedication. ''Ultimax's'' ending shows him making an external connection with Kurosawa for a potential future career, but he isn't quite there yet.]]
* RuggedScar: His toughness is emphasized by his new scars.
* SequenceBreaking[=/=]DungeonBypass: Attempts this in his story mode. [[spoiler:It only gets him into a fight with Kanji, and by then The General puts more barriers on the windows so he can't do it again.]]
-->''I knew it. Whereever there was [[CuttingTheKnot a real wall]] got overlooked.''
* ShockAndAwe: Courtesy of Ceasar
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: His is indigo.
* ShutUpHannibal: When being berated by illusions, Akihiko tends to ignore it and start punching. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] later when he admits that the comments did affect him, but he's over them by the time he fights the Malevolent Entity.]]
* SpiritedCompetitor: Quite. In Naoto's story mode, Mitsuru Kirijo manages to break the illusion between Naoto and Akihiko, but Akihiko still wants to fight. When he realizes that they have to fight anyway, illusions or not, his expression lights up.
-->''He was flustered mere seconds ago, but now Sanada-san has taken a more lively expression. […] I could almost hear [[MissionControl Kirijo-san]] sigh in exasperation.''
** If you choose him for a MirrorMatch; you get a unique intro where the two Akihiko's perform a quick Fist Bump and then jump backwards into a fighting stance.
* StandardStatusEffects: In addition to Electric Fist attacks causing Shock, ''Ultimax'' gives Akihiko a new Persona grab that causes Silence.
* SuperMode: Electric Fists makes all of Akihiko's physical attacks inflict Shock if they contact an opponent until he is hit. As a bonus, if he is affected by Shock, using Electric Fists causes it to immediately wear off.
* SuperSpeed: Momentarily during certain combos. Taken UpToEleven in Ultimax, where Akihiko practically ''teleports'' during his auto-combo. Oh, and thanks to the fact that his auto-combo leaves you suspended in midair, you can't burst it.
* TakeOffYourClothes: He meant well, as he wants his opponent to be able to move without hindrance, but since he said it to Kanji, HilarityEnsues.
* TookALevelInDumbass: While he was pretty naive in ''Persona 3'', he also got good grades, was very perceptive and possessed strong leadership abilities. Here he's single-mindedly motivated by fighting and comes off as far more thick-headed as a result.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Much to everyone's delight, out-of-universe. In-verse, the practicality is questioned by Mitsuru ([[SpyCatsuit though she isn't one to talk]]), and gets him labeled as a pervert among the Investigation Team. In ''Ultimax'', Akihiko's "hakamantle" even sends Yukiko into [[TheHyena one of her trademark laughing fits]].
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: To compensate for his lack of projectile moves, Akihiko's persona Caesar will pull opponents towards him.

!Aigis / [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Aegis]] (The Heartless Armed Angel)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_aigis_small_8673.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Her fingers are guns, her eyes are sights!]]
-->''"I'm on a mission!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Fool / Chariot (Wild Card)\\
'''Persona:''' Pallas Athena / Palladion\\
'''Main Weapons:''' Internal Firearms\\
'''Style:''' [[MoreDakka Heavy Firearms]] + [[StanceSystem Mode Change]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese) and Creator/KarenStrassman (English)
A Shadow-hunting android created by the Kirijo Group, who served alongside S.E.E.S in their campaign against Nyx. Although she is a robot, Aigis soon developed emotions, and is able to summon a Persona of her own: Palladion, which eventually evolved into Pallas Athena, her Ultimate Persona. Athena specializes mainly in physical attacks involving her lance and shield, but can also use Almighty attacks such as Megido.
After the blue-haired boy who helped Aigis discover herself sacrificed himself for the world's sake, she became the field leader of the group in the battle against Erebus during the events of ''The Answer'', having inherited his unique ability. Three years later, she is now a member of the Shadow Operatives and comes to the rural town of Inaba with Mitsuru and Akihiko, joining the "P-1 Grand Prix" to find the Kirijo group's stolen cargo.
Aigis' Instant Kill is '''Heritage Liberator Palladion''', and it is only usable while she is airborne. She fires her gatline guns downward at the opponent, and if any of the bullets connect, Pallas Athena appears and throws her spear into the opponent, sending them flying. Aigis then summons Palladion, taking the form of a giant shoulder cannon, takes aim, and fires a huge laser that obliterates the opponent, but forces her to cool down afterwards.
----
* AntiAir: She even says this when using one of her moves.
* BackpackCannon: One of her moves has her drawing out a large cannon out of her back. She also has one where she draws out multiple missile containers.
* {{Badass}}: There are reasons why as far as the story goes, Aigis is considered the only character in the game [[spoiler:(that is, until Elizabeth finally completes her mission)]] who can truly go head-to-head with Yu, and her insane plethora of weapons is not one of them.
** BadassInANiceSuit: Her [[TheMenInBlack Shadow Operatives]] uniform, which includes a nice [[BadassLongcoat long double-breasted jacket]]. She's seen wearing it in some battle intros before tearing it off.
* BadassInDistress: Has been kidnapped in ''Ultimax'' alongside Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Fuuka.
* BadLiar: When she runs into Kanji while not wearing her uniform, and thus not wearing clothes that conceal her obviously robotic features, she nervously tries to claim that she's a transfer student. And she has blond hair and blue eyes! And [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a gatling cannon.]] She gives up before he even calls her out on it.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: [[spoiler:In Akihiko's ''Ultimax'' ending, she's responsible for making sure that he attends his college classes (something Mitsuru assigns her to do at the end of ''Arena''), which he repeatedly skips.]]
* {{BFG}}: Most of her weapons, but the WaveMotionGun used in her Mortal Blow, [[ContinuityNod Palladion]][[note]]which is named and modeled after her Initial Persona if the gun isn't Palladion herself[[/note]], definitively qualifies.
* BladeOnAStick: Used by her Persona, Athena.
* BloodKnight: Shadow Aigis, who states in one of her victory quotes that she was built to fight.
* BottomlessMagazines:
** {{Averted|Trope}}. She has only 120 bullets at the start of each round, despite her HyperspaceArsenal. As an SNKBoss, she gets 999 bullets.
** ''Ultimax'' gives her a way to refill her bullet count, in a way playing this trope straight in the process. See SuperMode below for more info. Though in order to unlock super mode, most Aigis players have to force themselves out of ammo.
* BrickJoke: Triples as a CallBack and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall possibly a case of]] EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. To help Labrys cope with herself, Aegis makes an offhand remark to Metis of ''Persona 3 FES'', who was revealed to be [[spoiler:an amalgamation of Aegis' own conflicts]], and that Aegis had to make amends with herself during the events of said game. The previous ''Persona'' games in general never had the style of ''4'' of confronting the Shadow self, but the sheer parallels between FES' storyline and Arena's makes this topic FridgeBrilliance. Cue Shadow Aegis and you have the LogicalExtreme and {{Deconstruction}} [[spoiler:of Metis' core personality]].
* CallBack: One of her intros has her waking up in her chair from her old dorm room. Shadow Aigis' intro has her wearing [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/690e4742e799fab7a21a7cf897cf6a3c/tumblr_mxemv6qcNK1qj6bfuo4_1280.jpg her original's blue sundress]] for a while before burning it off.
* CatchPhrase:
--> ''Understood''.
* CombatCommentator: An [[UnlockableContent unlockable]] option.
* CounterAttack: Aigis's strong Persona attacks require her opponent to hit Athena. This restriction no longer applies during the powered-up Orgia Mode described below at SuperMode.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mitsuru notes that Aigis tends to speak in MachineMonotone when she wants to [[MundaneSolution tell her something]].
* DefensiveFeintTrap: Take-Mikazuchi's electric attacks cause her a lot of trouble during her battle against Kanji in the manga, but she manages to lure him into one of these so he's too close to her to summon his hulking Persona, allowing her to unleash her Orgia Mode without fear.
* DesperationAttack: [[spoiler:In Episode P4, Aigis unleashes Orgia Mode EX for the first time to save Teddie from the fake Shadow Labrys.]]
** [[spoiler:This causes Teddie to idolize and look up to Aigis very much like he does to Yu, although this doesn't spare her from Teddie's constant flirting and pick-up lines, most of which she is, fortunately, oblivious to.]]
* DifficultButAwesome: Trying to learn how to balance between her Orgia mode and regular mode as well as how to conserve bullets gives her ''quite'' the learning curve. She's also considered to be one of the best characters in the game and is used very often in TournamentPlay.
** There's another huge skill curve between "good" Aigis players (which includes those who do well in tournaments) and ''good'' Aigis players.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Her OneHitKill move and Orgia mode end with steam billowing from her entire body.
* FingerFirearms: Her most basic weapon is to shoot bullets out of her fingertips.
* GatlingGood: There's her one special that has her pulling a gatling gun out, and then there's her Orion super where she pulls out [[MoreDakka four]].
* GunFu: Has quite a few flashy moves with her weapons.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sort of. In Episode P4, she fights Kagutsuchi to weaken him enough for Yu (with some unexpected help from Adachi) to deal the finishing blow, although this results in her defeat.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Most of her weapons would hardly fit inside Aigis, and yet she is still capable of storing multiple weapons inside her.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: [[spoiler:The Malevolent Entity brings this up to torment Aigis.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her OneHitKill begins with Athena skewering the opponent with her lance, pulling them along as it flies.
%% ImpossiblyCompactFolding
* ImprovisedWeapon: She uses ''a button from a shirt as a projectile weapon'' in the beginning of her story mode.
* IsThisWhatAngerFeelsLike: Aigis has been angry before, but after seeing [[spoiler:all the crap the Malevolent Entity did to Labrys and the others]], she gets an intense flood of emotion she can only describe as "''fury''."
* JetPack: And Thigh Rockets in Orgia Mode.
* JiveTurkey / SophisticatedAsHell: As a CombatCommentator, in the localized version. Particularly fond of the phrase, "As they say", preceding some form of slang.
--> '''Aigis:''' ''[after foe has an [[ComebackMechanic Awakening]]]'' The enemy is, as they say, "pissed off".
* JustAMachine: The illusions taunt her by calling her this.
%% WhatMeasureIsANonHuman
* LaughingMad: One of Shadow Aigis's victory poses is to break out into insane and psychotic laughter after beating her opponent. Also qualifies for PutTheLaughterInSlaughter.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TZhLHneXyg Heartful Cry (P4 Arena ver.)]]''. For Shadow Aigis, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBdlcNd0yXQ Master of Shadow]]''.
* LightningBruiser: Is very agile in addition to being able to launch very powerful attacks from various ranges. Orgia mode allows her to fly and changes her jumps considerably.
* LimitBreak: Can activate Orgia Mode, which increases her attack power and agility and enables several new moves.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Her Persona uses one.
* MoreDakka: Basically her play style when not being a rushdown character in Orgia Mode. When using strong or SP versions of her gatling gun special, she can also keep firing it until she runs out of bullets.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Capable of it in Orgia Mode.
* {{Malaproper}}: For some reason, she messes up Elizabeth's name on their meeting in ''Elizabeth'''s style of messing up.
-->'''Aigis''': ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Eridanus-san]]!''\\
'''Elizabeth''': ''Hmm. No.''\\
'''Aigis''': ''Eli...Elixir...? Eryngli...?''
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Her DeadpanSnarker remarks on the group on going back outside after the initial incident and dropping ''right into'' Junes [[MassOhCrap at the worst time possible in no disguises]]. While [[MsFanservice Mitsuru]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene Akihiko]] are in their {{Fanservice}} outfits. While Kanji, Rise, and Naoto stick out like a sore thumb. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers While Teddie and Labrys]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny are completely oblivious to the situation at hand]].
* PileBunker: Her All-Out Attack begins with one.
%% PowerLimiter
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Labrys' Red. Their eyes are even ColorCodedForYourConvenience!
* RoboSpeak: Downplayed, as she generally speaks like a normal human, though with a very robotic affect. According to Mitsuru's story, however, she plays up this trope when she wants to say something she knows the other party wouldn't approve of.
%% RobotGirl
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She was given a human-like psyche and appearance in order to use a Persona. [[TheResenter Shadow Aigis resents this.]]
* ShieldBash: Courtesy of her Persona.
* ShoulderCannon: Her Instant Kill starts with her firing a shoulder-mounted, rapid-firing cannon.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: She's been improving since ''Persona 3'' but she still has her moments. When she meets Kanji, for example, she lapse back into her old days and [[BlatantLies introduces herself a transfer student]]. [[DiggingYourselfDeeper She then brings explicit attention to her gatling gun]], before just dropping it right there.
* SoLastSeason: Aigis has upgraded large portions of her body and has an arsenal of new weapons at her disposal.
* SubmissiveBadass:
** She doubts her leadership ability even though she has the experience from being SEES's field leader, where she demonstrated effective leadership abilities that are easily on par with that of Yu's. Even after showing that she's still an effective leader against the plane hijackers, Aigis happily relinquishes control to Mitsuru without hesitation.
** Aigis is far more modest than Yu when it comes to demonstrating the power of the Wild Card. [[spoiler:However, during the only time she actually does decide to use it, she managed to effortlessly neutralize Yu's power when he managed to suddenly turn the tables on Elizabeth. It's actually a highly impressive feat given that Yu's power was able to overpower the almighty Elizabeth, yet Aigis had easily dispelled it with almost no effort on her part. When Yu defeated her in his story mode, he immediately said that he only did so because she was only half-assing it the entire time because she had underestimated him and was unaware of his true abilities. Otherwise, she would have easily thrashed him]]
** [[spoiler:Shadow Aigis, however, completely averts this. Her extreme insanity and bloodlust, coupled by the fact that she is one of the two most powerful members of the Shadow Army (the other being Shadow Yu), caused her to become far more aggressive than her other self, leading her to desert the army so she could kill and destroy to her heart's content.]]
* SuperMode: Her hyper-clocked "Orgia Mode" is once again featured as one of her main gameplay mechanics. In ''Ultimax'', she has a further powered up version of Orgia Mode that is only accessible when the situation is dire (she must have 150 SP to use, but also be overheating from Orgia Mode overuse, have no bullets, and be in Persona Break). During this mode, she can boost more times per jump, her strong Persona attacks attack automatically, and her bullets and Persona cards refill.
* SuplexFinisher: The first promotional poster Atlus released for Ultimax featured Aigis using a very brutal one against Yu.
%% TelescopingRobot
* TimeAbyss: Acknowledged by Elizabeth, who anticipates Aigis "will become a compatriot of mine, unbound by the limitations of time."
* TheCoatsAreOff: In one of her intros.
* UncannyValley: When Yu Narukami meets her, he ponders about this trope in regard to her human-like appearance. [[invoked]]
* UpToEleven: Personality-wise, Shadow Aigis is described by many players as a far more extreme version of Shadow Yu. This makes sense since [[spoiler:Aigis is essentially Yu's predecessor to the Wild Card, making their personalities quite comparable to each other, with some slight differences.]]
* XRayVision: At the start of her storyline, she's able to see through an airliner hull to locate the terrorists and later sees just enough through Naoto's clothes to tell Naoto's female.

!Junpei Iori (The Mighty Strike-Out Slugger)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junpei_633.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Tadadada! A triple-A simpleton!]]
-->''"Two outs and the bases loads, and I'm up to bat!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Magician\\
'''Persona:''' Trismegistus\\
'''Main Weapon:''' [[BatterUp Bat]]\\
'''Style:''' [[IKnowMaddenKombat Baseball]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KosukeToriumi (Japanese) and Creator/VicMignogna (English)
A former member of S.E.E.S., a group of Gekkoukan High School students and Persona users. He now works part time as a baseball coach, and occasionally helps out the Shadow Operatives when Mitsuru asks him to ([[ButtMonkey she rarely does]]). When he misses his train stop and arrives at Yasoinaba, he becomes entwined in the strange happenings there.
Junpei's Instant Kill is '''Explosive Level-Up Grand Slam'''. Trismegistus grabs the opponent, and then flies into outer space. Junpei winds up, and the opponent gets pitched at him from space. Junpei then hits the opponent as they come crashing down, causing them to fly into a scoreboard, which gets burned by the impact.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AttackReflector: Junpei can hit opposing projectiles with his bat to turn them into speedy fireballs that launch the other way. Doing so gives him additional runners on base. He also puts this property to good use with one of his SP Skills.
* BatterUp: His weapon of choice is a wooden baseball bat. He also has a unique gameplay mechanic which relies on the player scoring "runs" by successfully connecting with bat attacks without "striking out" by missing (which results in a strike) or taking damage (which results in a straight out). Getting ten runs activates his Victory Cry skill, which [[PowerGlows causes him to glow]] and increases the damage of many of his moves.
** If Junpei hits the opponent normally, he will earn a base hit, while a blocked attack earns him a ball. His offensive Supers can count as a home run, earning Junpei as many runs as there are loaded bases plus one, but resetting the amount of bases loaded.
* BattleAura:
** During Victory Cry mode, Junpei has a faint golden aura around himself and he also glows gold periodically.
** If Junpei has two strikes, three balls and two outs, he has a faint red glow around himself. At this point, the next bat attack will be counted as a Fatal Counter.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: {{Shadow|Archetype}} [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/a90a6978d81bb671ad3e9001b1cbb120/tumblr_mxemv6qcNK1qj6bfuo6_1280.jpg Junpei]].
* ButtMonkey: Life is never easy for those of the Magician Arcana.
** He ended up involved in the P-1 Climax because he was daydreaming about marrying Chidori on a train and missed his stop.
** His cell phone battery dies early on during the crisis.
** Due to the above examples, Yukari, Ken and Koromaru got called to go to Inaba without him because they had no way of contacting him.
** Even though he is part of the Shadow Operatives, he is almost never asked to take part in a operation. General Teddie even goes so far as to call Junpei a {{mook}}.
** His title from the LemonyNarrator, "The Mighty Strike-Out Slugger", makes fun of his constant failures.
** Hell, in the first promotional trailer, the Red Fog presumably cuts the power half a second before Junpei presses a button on a soda machine!
* CallBack: One of Junpei's lines after winning a match is the same thing he says when he levels up in ''Persona 3''.
* CoolTeacher: Coaches a baseball team, while still being as laid back as ever.
* DeathFromAbove: One of Trismegistus' attacks has him smashing down on top of an opponent from orbit.
* DivingKick: On the part of Trismegistus. Junpei himself also has one.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Junpei seems so aloof to Rise and Yukiko that they initially don’t believe him presenting himself as a Shadow Operatives Officer, even though he had just showed a bit of his combat prowess minutes before, and when the girls do come to believe Junpei is the real deal they still express some worry, concerned that he wouldn’t be able take care of himself.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: In one attack, Junpei will swing his bat so hard he spins around multiple times before regaining his footing.
* ForMassiveDamage: Junpei has a mechanic called "Clean Hit", which is essentially an inversion of AttackItsWeakPoint. If Junpei hits his opponent with a specific part of his bat (the "sweet spot") then his attacks will have enhanced properties, allowing for combos that aren't otherwise possible. His supers have this property intrinsically, but Junpei must have Victory Cry active in order for his other bat moves to be able to Clean Hit.
* ItWasAGift: [[WordOfGod According to Atlus]], Junpei's cross necklace was a gift from Chidori.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He's a huge fan of Rise, and to see her in person makes him fanboy in his chapter.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His regular theme is ''"Mr. Easy-Going"'', but his Shadow has ''Deep Breath Deep Breath''.
* MightyGlacier: Not to the same extent of Kanji, but Junpei is not very fast. However, he can set up masive damage and even without that, he can still dish out high amounts of damage.
* NiceHat: Has switched to a backwards pinstripe baseball cap.
* OddCouple: His and Yukari’s banter are explored even further here, the two bicker, argue, provoke each other a lot, but the two feel secure and seek each other just as much, in fact one of Chapters for the Story Mode focused on the two is literally named like said trope.
* OlderAndWiser: Most obvious example out of the ''P3'' cast. He's still the same laid-back, fun-loving oaf we came to know in ''Persona 3'', but he's more mature and worldly than he used to be. As such, he has every right to call Sho an immature brat when they meet during Junpei's arcade mode.
* PlayingWithFire: Trismegistus can shoot short-range blasts of flame, and all of Junpei's SP Skills ignite the opponent on hit.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Similar to Mitsuru and Akihiko he and Yukari are close but with no romance involved.
* ProductionThrowback: Junpei's Clean Hit mechanic originally came from Sol Badguy, the protagonist of Arc System Works's original fighting game series, ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.
* SituationalDamageAttack: Junpei Iori has a mechanic called "Clean Hit" where if he hits his opponent with a specific part of his bat, he'll do more hitstun and damage than normal, allowing for combos that aren't otherwise possible.
* SlideAttack: Has a sliding ground kick for his sweep and the third part of his auto-combo. One of his special moves is a face-first baseball slide.
* SpinAttack: One of his moves involves spinning rapidly while swinging his bat.
* SuperMode: Victory Cry, which gets activated as soon as Junpei has 10 runs in his baseball counter. It will increase the power of his attacks, slowly regenerate his health and SP (not unlike [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Spring of Life]] from ''Persona 3''), and allow him to land Clean Hits with any move that involves his bat. Even better, the more runs Junpei scores (the counter maxes out at 55), the more damage he does and the faster he regenerates health and SP! Oh, and one other thing: his score counter ''does not reset between rounds.'' If he's activated Victory Cry in the first round, it will stay active for the rest of the match.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Yukari, as usual.
* WreckedWeapon: The home run slam that finishes off his opponent in his Instant Kill snaps his bat in half.

One day however, an actual helicopter not part of the filming appears on the set. Labrys and the Kirijo family maid Kikuno emerge from the copter and inform Yukari of Mitsuru's dire status. Taking no time to even change costumes, Yukari, accompanied by Labrys, heads to Yasoinaba.
Her Instant Kill is '''Final Feather⭐Arrow'''. Yukari launches an arrow in the air. If it hits her opponent, she uses her Evoker to summon Isis who keeps her opponent in place by hitting them with wind strikes. Then Yukari fires a powerful arrow from the sky which obliterates her foe.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Her costume features Phoenix and bird imagery. Her character is even named after a pheasant relative, the argus.
* ActionGirl: She's the lead ranger for one and Yukari has always been described as sporty and athletic. In the games Persona 3 ending, a star-struck Ken reveals to the team that Yukari in her role as Feather Pink, performs her own action stunts. Her moves in the game also reflect this too as she can do flips in mid-air, fire arrows at a rapid pace and can even melee the opponent and do it all in style.
* {{Adorkable}}: She gets really flustered and embarrassed whenever someone makes a comment about her costume.
* BadassCape: Has a pink, pointed cape sewn to the back of her superhero costume, not unlike [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Momo Ranger]].
* BadassAdorable: You've got to admit she looks both bad-ass and adorable in this game, her official artwork pretty much encapsulates this trope.
* BerserkButton: Saying anything about her father, and the fact that he had a hand in the experiments done by the Kirijo Group, is a sure fire way to set her off.
* BlowYouAway: Can place Garu (Wind) traps and summon a Magarula windstorm with Isis. [[FridgeBrilliance Notably it's the element the Lovers Arcana is associated with.]]
** WindIsGreen: As usual with Garu spells.
* ByThePowerOfGraySkull: "Here we go...Feather Change!" and in her arcade route "Soar wings of love! Phoenix Mode!"
* BigDamnHeroes: Yukari pulls a moment like this when Isis' Garu completely repels Tsukiyomi's surprise attack when the rest of ''The Shadow Operatives'' arrive on top of Junes.
* CombatCommentator: An [[UnlockableContent unlockable]] option.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: One of Yukari's [[VictoryPose victory poses]] has her helmet magically appear out of nowhere, she twirls her bow and then stays still for the camera, just long enough for it to capture her [[SuperSentaiStance stance.]]
* CaptainErsatz: Dresses and uses a bow like [[TheChick the Pink Ranger]] from various Franchise/SuperSentai[=/=]Franchise/PowerRangers iterations.[[note]]Specifically [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Ptera Ranger]]/[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the Mighty Morphin' Pink Ranger]], [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Pink Racer]]/[[Series/PowerRangersTurbo the Pink Turbo Ranger]], and [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Ginga Pink]]/[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy the Pink Galaxy Ranger]]. Her phoenix motif also brings to mind [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Gosei Pink]]/[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce the Pink Megaforce Ranger]].[[/note]]
* CoolHelmet: Her Pink Argus helmet, which looks like a futuristic motorcycle helmet.
* ContinuityNod: She now works on the sequel to the ShowWithinAShow introduced in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', ''Phoenix Ranger Featherman Victory''.
* CallingYourAttacks: A story-mode example. Like in Persona 3 Yukari does not appreciate perverted or intentionally provoking remarks as Teddie finds out and then later Junpei.
--> (after Teddie gets to close for comfort) "Hey what are you...HEY! Feather Smash!"
* {{Determinator}}: One of Yukari's most notable traits in Persona 3 and she has not lost it, this trait considerably shows itself in her battle dialogue.
--> (after using a continue) "Now's not the time to stay on the ground!"
* DifficultButAwesome: By far the most input heavy character in the game combined with an extremely tricky play-style. Her combos are hard, long and extremely precise but her damage output is insane.
* EnergyBow: Her bow fires glowing red laser arrows instead of normal ones, eliminating the need for a quiver.
* FriendToAllChildren: She has a big soft-spot for kids and one of the primary reasons she became Feather Pink was her need to teach and remind kids about important life lessons, like not bringing harm into their lives and to protect those who are important to them. It warms her heart to know she's giving hope to children. [[FridgeBrilliance She also shares this trait with her ultimate Persona Isis.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Seems to be a trend when it comes to the spin-offs, in the P4 story-mode Yukari with all of her years and experience battling shadows is somehow bested and ambushed by her {{Mook}} copy, she is then rescued by Rise who at the time had no prior battle experience, Yukari then proceeds to fangirl over her seemingly forgetting that Mitsuru, Akihiko and Aigis are still in danger. Thankfully there is no trace of this in the P3 story-mode were Yukari is more depicted [[BadAss true to form]] actually focused on her goal and being able to handle herself in battle as common-sense rules would allow.
* GirlyBruiser: Just because she looks [[{{Adorkable}} adorable]] in her Pink Featherman costume it does not mean she will pull her punches, as Rise comments in a versus match with Yukari.
--> "She's aggressive don't let her beat you."
* GoGetterGirl: While she was always a gung-ho sort of person and was both extremely devoted to her high school Archery Club and S.E.E.S, now at the age of nineteen she is not only a college student but also a fashion model and television actress, not to mention she still helps Mitsuru albeit in a part-time basis as member of the ''The Shadow Operatives'' Yukari definitely fits this trope to a tee.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Yukari's phasmophobia is still quite evident and Junpei gleefully takes advantage of this when their together. In her arcade route Yukari fearfully notes that the newly transformed Yasogami High School looks haunted.
* GenderedOutfit: Like the rest of the female rangers Yukari's costume comes with a skirt.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Plays this somewhat straight, while the majority of her attacks uses her Bow in someway she still has moves that can let her melee the opponent and with the help of Isis, Yukari can close the gap between her and her opponent or create tricky cross-ups up close.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mitsuru, their bond has only gotten stronger after all these years, though it experiences a minor hiccup in the beginning of the game. Their bond is highlighted further in Yukari's ending.
* IconicItem: Yukari still wears her signature heart choker though its not part of her casual outfit ensemble.
* InSeriesNickname: She's still called Yuka-tan (Yukaricchi when Japanese vocals are used) by Junpei.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Her regular theme is ''Pink Sniper'', but her Shadow has ''Calamity.''
* TheLostLenore: The Protagonist of Persona 3 is still this to her.
* MagicMissile: If she fires an arrow into an onscreen Garu trap, the arrow becomes a homing wind projectile.
* MythologyGag: Her idle animation and round victory pose replicates her ''Persona 3'' artwork.
* NotSoFakePropWeapon: Her Pink Argus EnergyBow isn't just a prop, it actually works and was made by Kikuno because of Yukari's affinity for bows.
* OlderAndWiser: Yukari has definitely matured and blossomed to quite a level-headed young woman but is still quite prone to provocations as she admits to Teddie after her fight against Shadow Mitsuru (See Above Trope Berserk Button).
* OddCouple: Hers and Junpei’s banter are explored even further here, the two bicker, argue, provoke each other a lot, but the two feel secure and seek each other just as much, in fact one of Chapters for the Story Mode focused on the two is literally named like said trope.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Was a main member of her high school Archery Club and was still one of its more active members even after joining S.E.E.S, her diligence to her sport is the main reason Yukari got cast as Feather Pink, her already exemplary skills with the Bow and Arrow has only gotten better over the years.
* PinkIsFeminine: As usual when it comes to Yukari.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Similar to Mitsuru and Akihiko, Yukari and Junpei are close but with no Romance involved.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: In a odd way. Because of the way her suit is designed, when the helmet removed, it exposes the chest in a very unsubtle fashion. While on her mission (and robbed of a chance to change clothes), she gets extremely embarrassed because of the attention she garners from wearing the suit. Because the suit also reveals her cleavage, she gets very upset and flustered if she suspects ''anyone''--not just guys--of staring at it during a fight. Her idle animation shows her covering up her chest, assuming that her opponent is looking there instead of fighting her.
* {{Sentai}}: Stars in ''Persona'''s Franchise/SuperSentai[=/=]Franchise/PowerRangers parody. As the lead ranger no less.
* SuperSentaiStance: Performs one with her team in her introductory chapter pretty much cementing Yukari's role as the lead ranger as she's the one placed front and center and not the red ranger. She also performs a single-variant one as her victory pose.
* ShoutOut: Her arsenal includes what appears to be [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger the Goranger Hurricane ball]], albeit with a target and a parachute. [[StuffBlowingUp Shooting it causes it to explode.]]
* StandardStatusEffects: Yukari's arrows can inflict Charm, Silence or Confusion.
* SuperMode: Yukari's [[SuperMode awakening]] super Magarula is regarded as one of the best supers in the game. Yukari has full movement during it and she can catch the opponent off guard if their blocking on the ground, the super itself deals massive chip damage if successfully blocked. Although Yukari can throw an unblockable bomb and shot at it if the opponent blocks in the air allowing her to follow it up with a combo. Her Instant Kill shows her Bows limiters removed with pulsing green energy coming out of it as Yukari gets ready to fire a giant arrow in the air at the opponent trapped in Isis' wind vortex below.
* SpiritedYoungLady: As gutsy as ever and is definitely making the most out of her life.
* ShesGotLegs: Most notably seen in her casual outfit concept art.
* StraightMan: To Junpei and Teddies antics.
* TransformationTrinket: Yukari's Featherman wristwatch.
* TransformationSequence: After eight years since her original debut, Yukari is introduced to us once again with this. Her transformation has a mix of both HenshinHero and MagicalGirl motifs, accompanied with a PowerGlows costume change.
* ThemeNaming: Most of Yukari's moves have the word "Feather" in their names (i.e. Feather⭐Flip).
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: As usual. As seen with her actions [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} in the past]], Yukari [[SpiritedYoungLady isn't quite the]] ArcherArchetype.
* TrickArrow: By shooting any of her arrows, normal or super, through a Garu trap, they will redirect themselves at her opponent.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Mitsuru. As soon as she found out Mitsuru was kidnapped, she agreed to go after her without a second thought.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Junpei, as usual.

'''Persona:''' Kala-Nemi\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Spear\\
'''Style:''' [[PuppetFighter Tag Team]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiOgata (Japanese), Creator/CindyRobinson (English)
A former member of S.E.E.S. and the youngest human Persona-user in the series. He acts notably mature for his age, though he does suffer some issues involving his MissingMom. After the events of ''Persona 3'', Ken has moved on to middle school and became a member of the student council, as well as a reserve member of the Shadow Operatives. He joins the fight in ''Ultimax'' after Mitsuru and the others are kidnapped.
His Instant Kill is '''Baptism of Light and Darkness''' where he whistles to make Koromaru charge forwards while he is surrounded with fire shaped like a wolf head. Upon hitting, the opponent is launched into the air as the two of them summon their Personas to cast Mahamaon and Mamudoon, creating a sphere around the opponent which obliterates the opponent, only leaving light and dark particles behind.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Downplayed since puberty hit him after ''Persona 3'', but it's there, especially with his dialogue portraits.
* {{Bishonen}}: He grew up really well.
* BladeOnAStick: A jumonji-yari in orange, his signature color from ''Persona 3''. It's also segmented and held together by chains, like the staff of [[VideoGame/FatalFury Billy]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Kane]].
* ChickMagnet: Judging by the squealing girls heard in the background during his intro cut-scene, though he doesn't seem to care.
* CombatCommentator: Is available as an unlockable navigator during matches.
* CombatMedic: Has access to healing moves like Mediarama; its effect is near worthless on Ken and is moreso used to restore Koromaru's health.
* CustomUniform: Notably averted: He wears the male Gekkoukan Uniform properly, which none of the male S.E.E.S. members did in their original game.
** This is interestingly played straight with one of his beta designs.
* DeadpanSnarker: If his Japanese title is anything to go by.
* DeathSeeker: His Shadow implies he wants to be killed so that he can be with his dead mother or as possible repentance for [[spoiler:Shinjiro's sacrifice]].
* TheDividual: He and Koromaru act as a single character in gameplay.
* FragileSpeedster: Has some of the lowest health in the game (8,500) but is quite fast and has some of the highest damage off a single button of anyone in the cast. And then there's his range....
* GenerationXerox: In Persona 3, Ken greatly looked up to Akihiko, an athlete with a posse of Squeeing fangirls. Three years later, Ken has become...an athlete with a posse of Squeeing fangirls.
* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]]: Honestly, he got hit with a massive growth spurt and he's still in freakin' middle school. The fact that he's wearing the Gekkokaun uniform rather than his former signature shorts helps.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ken's normal theme is "Youthful Spirit", his shadow theme is unknown.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Played with. Mitsuru encourages him to be a normal kid, and Ken complies — at least until her kidnapping. Deep down, he knows he can ''never'' be a "normal kid" again after what he went through 3 years ago.
** Though played straight in the end. At the end of the story, Ken chooses to give up his honorary Shadow Operative status so he can at least try to make a normal life for himself.
* LightEmUp: He uses Hama in his and Koromaru's Instant Kill.
%% LightIsGood
* MyGreatestFailure: Seems to view Shinjiro's death as this, which is why he makes an effort to ensure no-one ends up dying for him again.
* OnlySaneMan: His entrance in story mode, and various other scenes, make him this to ... just about every other cast member.
* PuttingOnTheReich: One of his [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/0/03/Ken_Amada_and_Koromaru_P4AU_Prototype2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141219012654 outfits in the concept art]] has him wear an SS-esque uniform, complete with a whip and hat.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: He's the member of the former S.E.E.S. wearing a school uniform to battle. Justified, as he's still in middle school and [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive enters the fight]] rather abruptly.
* ShockAndAwe: Just like in FES, he has access to electric skills, this time in the form of his Thunder Reign super.
* TeensAreShort: Averted. He's quite tall for his age. In gameplay terms, he's roughly as tall as ''Yosuke'' -- the ''tallest character in the game''. (Tallest in terms of vertical hurtboxes, not listed height. This matters when some characters have idle animations that cause them to dodge attacks.)
* TokenMiniMoe: Is still the youngest human Persona-user at thirteen.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ken's gotten pretty tall for a Japanese thirteen-year-old (he's 5'1").

Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his dog. Only after he moves in with Ken, though. Ken even brings the trope up in one of their win quotes.
-->'''Ken''': You thought we were just a boy and his dog, didn't you? That's why you lost.
* BadassAdorable: Still as cute and cuddly and {{Badass}} as ever!
%% CanineCompanion
* CastingAShadow: Uses Mudo for his and Ken's Instant Kill.
%% DarkIsNotEvil
* ContinuityNod: The hoodie Koromaru wears in this game is the same hoodie that Ken himself used to wear during the events of ''Persona 3'', now with the wings of his own old shirt.
* DeathIsCheap: Emptying out his life bar only knocks him out for a few seconds.
* ForMassiveDamage: Where Koromaru is positioned determines the damage of one of Ken's supers, and their Awakening super does much less damage if Koromaru is off-screen or knocked out.
* KnifeNut: Being a dog, he [[CutlassBetweenTheTeeth carries one in his mouth]], in contrast to [[DualWielding Yosuke]].
* PlayingWithFire: Can cast Agi spells thanks to Cerberus.
* SatelliteCharacter: Most story relates elements are attributed to Ken; justified though, seeing how Koromaru's just a dog.

'''Style:''' [[ChargedAttack Zoning]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Japanese) and TaraPlatt (English)
One of the founding members of S.E.E.S., a group of Gekkoukan High School students and Persona users. After graduating, Mitsuru became part of a clique of elites in her college, while still attending to the needs of the struggling Kirijo Group. To this end, she requested a meeting with the police (as well as Naoto Shirogane) to help her establish the Shadow Operatives, a private paramilitary organization composed of her fellow S.E.E.S. alumni, dedicated to controlling Shadow-related activity and keeping an eye on Persona users. Her Persona, Artemisia, specializes in ice magic and has the ability to analyze the weaknesses of Shadows, as well as communicate with other Persona users. Before Mitsuru found her resolve and evolved it, her Persona was once known as Penthesilea.
Some time after the events of the Midnight Channel Murders, she meets with Naoto Shirogane and briefly consults her regarding the information regarding the hijacking of some cargo, and personally summons Akihiko Sanada to assist her in recovering it. After travelling to Inaba to search for the cargo, she learns of the "P-1 Grand Prix". Suspicious of such an event, Mitsuru decides to participate and look into the Grand Prix.
Mitsuru's Instant Kill is '''Niflheim'''. Artemisia flies high into the air and drops its whip like a hook, latching onto the opponent and carrying them into the air as they are slashed and frozen simultaneously. Mitsuru bids them adieu as she stabs them through the ice, completing her [[FateWorseThanDeath execution]].

* BadassLongcoat: Her fur coat is full length, and she fights pretty hard while wearing it.

%% TheBeautifulElite
* CallBack: Artemisia being able to cast Niflheim might allude to how [[spoiler:the shadow of ''Persona 3'''s protagonist in ''The Answer'' can use Artemisia to cast that spell.]]

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_akihiko_5411.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:The man who lusts for power returns!]]
-->''"I've been waiting for this moment!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Emperor\\
'''Persona:''' Caesar\\
'''Main Weapon:''' [[BareFistedMonk Fists]]\\
'''Style:''' [[BoxingBattler Boxing]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Japanese) and Creator/LiamOBrien (English)
A veteran of S.E.E.S. and close friend of Mitsuru. After his little sister died in a house fire, Akihiko resolved himself to become strong in order to protect those he cares about. While cool-headed and good-natured, he is somewhat socially awkward. His Persona was once Polydeuces, but after the death of his best friend Shinjiro Aragaki he found a new resolve and his Persona evolved into Caesar, which specializes in physical attacks and can also use electricity.
After graduating, Akihiko entered college, but decided to focus on perfecting his punch and becoming the best fighter in the world, dropping out in the process. Upon learning of the "P-1 Grand Prix", Mitsuru sends an invitation to Akihiko to join her. Eager to battle a new generation of Persona users, Akihiko returns to Japan.
Akihiko's Instant Kill is '''Earth Breaker'''. Caesar produces a globe within its hand that begins sucking the opponent in. If they touch the globe, they are miniaturized and fall onto the globe, and are shocked to see a mysterious object careening downward on top of them. The object turns out to be Akihiko, with his fists extended as he punches the opponent downward onto the globe, causing a visible explosion on the upper portion of the globe, as seen through a zoomed-out view.
----
* AttackItsWeakpoint: When Yu hits the globe in Caesar's hands during the events of the manga, it causes the Persona to outright '''''explode'''''.
* {{Badass}}: When he's attacked by a couple of gun-wielding goons in his story mode, he dodges their bullets, that is all.
* BadassCape: Which can also double as a hood.
* BadassInDistress: Is kidnapped at the beginning of ''Ultimax'' alongside Mitsuru, Aigis, and Fuuka.
* BareFistedMonk: He fills this roll as the resident boxer.
* ExtremityExtremist: In contrast to Chie, Akihiko uses mainly his fists.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Manages to catch Yu's katana in this fashion during their battle in the manga.
* BigBrotherMentor: Acts as one for Chie, [[spoiler:who refers to him as 'Master' in the end of her story, although Akihiko is embarrassed by it.]]
* BoxingBattler: Still fights like a boxer, and relies more on his fists than his Persona.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Using only his fists to deal the majority of his damage, if not ''all'' of it, Akihiko has to get in real close to gain momentum over his opponent. To enhance this, his ducking and weaving special moves will bypass projectiles. He does have one or two exceptions however. His awakened super covers the entire screen (albeit with some wind-up), and what few persona attacks he has gives him just a little bit of extended reach.
* CoolSword: Caesar's main weapon.
* CounterAttack: Dodge Strike. Not as direct as most examples because it negates the damage of an incoming strike and gives you an opening to take advantage of via the ability to cancel into various moves. If you choose to do nothing, you will instead get free SP.
* DumbMuscle: Akihiko is quite intelligent (see SequenceBreaking, for example), [[NoSocialSkills but his people skills need a bit of work]]. Several of the game's SugarWiki/FunnyMoments are due to him saying things he really should keep to himself.
* DynamicEntry: Akihiko likes doing these, but they're not as frequent as with Elizabeth. Heck in Chie's story, he makes an introduction by [[spoiler:''punching Kanji through a wall'']], while in his story, he simply punches the door open to the Announcement Room.
* EvolvingAttack: His Cyclone Level increases as he's chaining certain attacks, which then gives new properties to those same attacks as well as his Cyclone Uppercut super. The level caps at 3 (5 in the sequel) and resets when he's done chaining attacks.
* {{Flanderization}}: Went from being a kind, if aloof, BigBrotherMentor type with an unhealthy need to get stronger driven by his sister's death to a borderline DumbMuscle BloodKnight whose life outside of the Shadow Operatives revolves around fighting for the sheer heck of it (the guy dropped out of college to go on that journey). There's also his love of protein, and unlike Chie's obsession with meat, the number of times Akihiko mentions protein in any way in ''Persona 3'' can be counted on one hand. [[spoiler:As his ending in ''Ultimax'' shows, he's not quite over the training part either, as the narrative states that he finds college a nuisance.]]
* FriendlyRivalry: With fellow ExtremityExtremist and protein lover Chie.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Despite having picked up quite a lot during his training expedition, Akihiko's scars are all surprisingly tidy.
* GravityMaster: One of Caesar's abilities.
* InTheHood: His cape also has a hood in it.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0SpO70YYjQ The Wandering Wolf]]''. For [[ShadowArchetype Shadow Akihiko]], ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNGQ7BL0BGI Crisis]]''.
* LightningBruiser: His punches are powerful as they are fast. They can also be enhanced with electricity, making him a literal [[DontExplainTheJoke Lightning Bruiser]]. He's fast, strong, and has decent HP. His only weakness is a lack of range, which he compensates for with his speed.
* MacheteMayhem: Carries a machete around his belt, though you never get to see him use it.
* MrFanservice: Just like back in ''Persona 3''. He's constantly shirtless, has rippling muscles and is very handsome.
* PointlessBandAid: Has one around his left leg for whatever reason. He also has one on the left side of his forehead, the same place he had one for the duration of ''Persona 3''.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: His Kill Rush special. You can even fit more punches in if you SP boost it, which increases the move's duration for more rapid-fire punching.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:Expresses an interest in becoming a cop one day during his ending, having been inspired by Chie's tenacity and Kurosawa's dedication. ''Ultimax's'' ending shows him making an external connection with Kurosawa for a potential future career, but he isn't quite there yet.]]
* RuggedScar: His toughness is emphasized by his new scars.
* SequenceBreaking[=/=]DungeonBypass: Attempts this in his story mode. [[spoiler:It only gets him into a fight with Kanji, and by then The General puts more barriers on the windows so he can't do it again.]]

* ShutUpHannibal: When being berated by illusions, Akihiko tends to ignore it and start punching. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] later when he admits that the comments did affect him, but he's over them by the time he fights the Malevolent Entity.]]
* SpiritedCompetitor: Quite. In Naoto's story mode, Mitsuru Kirijo manages to break the illusion between Naoto and Akihiko, but Akihiko still wants to fight. When he realizes that they have to fight anyway, illusions or not, his expression lights up.
-->''He was flustered mere seconds ago, but now Sanada-san has taken a more lively expression. […] I could almost hear [[MissionControl Kirijo-san]] sigh in exasperation.''
** If you choose him for a MirrorMatch; you get a unique intro where the two Akihiko's perform a quick Fist Bump and then jump backwards into a fighting stance.
* StandardStatusEffects: In addition to Electric Fist attacks causing Shock, ''Ultimax'' gives Akihiko a new Persona grab that causes Silence.
* SuperMode: Electric Fists makes all of Akihiko's physical attacks inflict Shock if they contact an opponent until he is hit. As a bonus, if he is affected by Shock, using Electric Fists causes it to immediately wear off.
* SuperSpeed: Momentarily during certain combos. Taken UpToEleven in Ultimax, where Akihiko practically ''teleports'' during his auto-combo. Oh, and thanks to the fact that his auto-combo leaves you suspended in midair, you can't burst it.
* TakeOffYourClothes: He meant well, as he wants his opponent to be able to move without hindrance, but since he said it to Kanji, HilarityEnsues.
* TookALevelInDumbass: While he was pretty naive in ''Persona 3'', he also got good grades, was very perceptive and possessed strong leadership abilities. Here he's single-mindedly motivated by fighting and comes off as far more thick-headed as a result.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Much to everyone's delight, out-of-universe. In-verse, the practicality is questioned by Mitsuru ([[SpyCatsuit though she isn't one to talk]]), and gets him labeled as a pervert among the Investigation Team. In ''Ultimax'', Akihiko's "hakamantle" even sends Yukiko into [[TheHyena one of her trademark laughing fits]].
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: To compensate for his lack of projectile moves, Akihiko's persona Caesar will pull opponents towards him.

!Aigis / [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Aegis]] (The Heartless Armed Angel)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p4a_aigis_small_8673.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Her fingers are guns, her eyes are sights!]]
-->''"I'm on a mission!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Fool / Chariot (Wild Card)\\
'''Persona:''' Pallas Athena / Palladion\\
'''Main Weapons:''' Internal Firearms\\
'''Style:''' [[MoreDakka Heavy Firearms]] + [[StanceSystem Mode Change]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese) and Creator/KarenStrassman (English)
A Shadow-hunting android created by the Kirijo Group, who served alongside S.E.E.S in their campaign against Nyx. Although she is a robot, Aigis soon developed emotions, and is able to summon a Persona of her own: Palladion, which eventually evolved into Pallas Athena, her Ultimate Persona. Athena specializes mainly in physical attacks involving her lance and shield, but can also use Almighty attacks such as Megido.
After the blue-haired boy who helped Aigis discover herself sacrificed himself for the world's sake, she became the field leader of the group in the battle against Erebus during the events of ''The Answer'', having inherited his unique ability. Three years later, she is now a member of the Shadow Operatives and comes to the rural town of Inaba with Mitsuru and Akihiko, joining the "P-1 Grand Prix" to find the Kirijo group's stolen cargo.
Aigis' Instant Kill is '''Heritage Liberator Palladion''', and it is only usable while she is airborne. She fires her gatline guns downward at the opponent, and if any of the bullets connect, Pallas Athena appears and throws her spear into the opponent, sending them flying. Aigis then summons Palladion, taking the form of a giant shoulder cannon, takes aim, and fires a huge laser that obliterates the opponent, but forces her to cool down afterwards.
----
* AntiAir: She even says this when using one of her moves.
* BackpackCannon: One of her moves has her drawing out a large cannon out of her back. She also has one where she draws out multiple missile containers.
* {{Badass}}: There are reasons why as far as the story goes, Aigis is considered the only character in the game [[spoiler:(that is, until Elizabeth finally completes her mission)]] who can truly go head-to-head with Yu, and her insane plethora of weapons is not one of them.
** BadassInANiceSuit: Her [[TheMenInBlack Shadow Operatives]] uniform, which includes a nice [[BadassLongcoat long double-breasted jacket]]. She's seen wearing it in some battle intros before tearing it off.
* BadassInDistress: Has been kidnapped in ''Ultimax'' alongside Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Fuuka.
* BadLiar: When she runs into Kanji while not wearing her uniform, and thus not wearing clothes that conceal her obviously robotic features, she nervously tries to claim that she's a transfer student. And she has blond hair and blue eyes! And [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a gatling cannon.]] She gives up before he even calls her out on it.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: [[spoiler:In Akihiko's ''Ultimax'' ending, she's responsible for making sure that he attends his college classes (something Mitsuru assigns her to do at the end of ''Arena''), which he repeatedly skips.]]
* {{BFG}}: Most of her weapons, but the WaveMotionGun used in her Mortal Blow, [[ContinuityNod Palladion]][[note]]which is named and modeled after her Initial Persona if the gun isn't Palladion herself[[/note]], definitively qualifies.
* BladeOnAStick: Used by her Persona, Athena.
* BloodKnight: Shadow Aigis, who states in one of her victory quotes that she was built to fight.
* BottomlessMagazines:
** {{Averted|Trope}}. She has only 120 bullets at the start of each round, despite her HyperspaceArsenal. As an SNKBoss, she gets 999 bullets.
** ''Ultimax'' gives her a way to refill her bullet count, in a way playing this trope straight in the process. See SuperMode below for more info. Though in order to unlock super mode, most Aigis players have to force themselves out of ammo.
* BrickJoke: Triples as a CallBack and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall possibly a case of]] EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. To help Labrys cope with herself, Aegis makes an offhand remark to Metis of ''Persona 3 FES'', who was revealed to be [[spoiler:an amalgamation of Aegis' own conflicts]], and that Aegis had to make amends with herself during the events of said game. The previous ''Persona'' games in general never had the style of ''4'' of confronting the Shadow self, but the sheer parallels between FES' storyline and Arena's makes this topic FridgeBrilliance. Cue Shadow Aegis and you have the LogicalExtreme and {{Deconstruction}} [[spoiler:of Metis' core personality]].
* CallBack: One of her intros has her waking up in her chair from her old dorm room. Shadow Aigis' intro has her wearing [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/690e4742e799fab7a21a7cf897cf6a3c/tumblr_mxemv6qcNK1qj6bfuo4_1280.jpg her original's blue sundress]] for a while before burning it off.
* CatchPhrase:
--> ''Understood''.
* CombatCommentator: An [[UnlockableContent unlockable]] option.
* CounterAttack: Aigis's strong Persona attacks require her opponent to hit Athena. This restriction no longer applies during the powered-up Orgia Mode described below at SuperMode.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mitsuru notes that Aigis tends to speak in MachineMonotone when she wants to [[MundaneSolution tell her something]].
* DefensiveFeintTrap: Take-Mikazuchi's electric attacks cause her a lot of trouble during her battle against Kanji in the manga, but she manages to lure him into one of these so he's too close to her to summon his hulking Persona, allowing her to unleash her Orgia Mode without fear.
* DesperationAttack: [[spoiler:In Episode P4, Aigis unleashes Orgia Mode EX for the first time to save Teddie from the fake Shadow Labrys.]]
** [[spoiler:This causes Teddie to idolize and look up to Aigis very much like he does to Yu, although this doesn't spare her from Teddie's constant flirting and pick-up lines, most of which she is, fortunately, oblivious to.]]
* DifficultButAwesome: Trying to learn how to balance between her Orgia mode and regular mode as well as how to conserve bullets gives her ''quite'' the learning curve. She's also considered to be one of the best characters in the game and is used very often in TournamentPlay.
** There's another huge skill curve between "good" Aigis players (which includes those who do well in tournaments) and ''good'' Aigis players.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Her OneHitKill move and Orgia mode end with steam billowing from her entire body.
* FingerFirearms: Her most basic weapon is to shoot bullets out of her fingertips.
* GatlingGood: There's her one special that has her pulling a gatling gun out, and then there's her Orion super where she pulls out [[MoreDakka four]].
* GunFu: Has quite a few flashy moves with her weapons.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sort of. In Episode P4, she fights Kagutsuchi to weaken him enough for Yu (with some unexpected help from Adachi) to deal the finishing blow, although this results in her defeat.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Most of her weapons would hardly fit inside Aigis, and yet she is still capable of storing multiple weapons inside her.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: [[spoiler:The Malevolent Entity brings this up to torment Aigis.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her OneHitKill begins with Athena skewering the opponent with her lance, pulling them along as it flies.
%% ImpossiblyCompactFolding
* ImprovisedWeapon: She uses ''a button from a shirt as a projectile weapon'' in the beginning of her story mode.
* IsThisWhatAngerFeelsLike: Aigis has been angry before, but after seeing [[spoiler:all the crap the Malevolent Entity did to Labrys and the others]], she gets an intense flood of emotion she can only describe as "''fury''."
* JetPack: And Thigh Rockets in Orgia Mode.
* JiveTurkey / SophisticatedAsHell: As a CombatCommentator, in the localized version. Particularly fond of the phrase, "As they say", preceding some form of slang.
--> '''Aigis:''' ''[after foe has an [[ComebackMechanic Awakening]]]'' The enemy is, as they say, "pissed off".
* JustAMachine: The illusions taunt her by calling her this.
%% WhatMeasureIsANonHuman
* LaughingMad: One of Shadow Aigis's victory poses is to break out into insane and psychotic laughter after beating her opponent. Also qualifies for PutTheLaughterInSlaughter.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TZhLHneXyg Heartful Cry (P4 Arena ver.)]]''. For Shadow Aigis, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBdlcNd0yXQ Master of Shadow]]''.
* LightningBruiser: Is very agile in addition to being able to launch very powerful attacks from various ranges. Orgia mode allows her to fly and changes her jumps considerably.
* LimitBreak: Can activate Orgia Mode, which increases her attack power and agility and enables several new moves.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Her Persona uses one.
* MoreDakka: Basically her play style when not being a rushdown character in Orgia Mode. When using strong or SP versions of her gatling gun special, she can also keep firing it until she runs out of bullets.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Capable of it in Orgia Mode.
* {{Malaproper}}: For some reason, she messes up Elizabeth's name on their meeting in ''Elizabeth'''s style of messing up.
-->'''Aigis''': ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Eridanus-san]]!''\\
'''Elizabeth''': ''Hmm. No.''\\
'''Aigis''': ''Eli...Elixir...? Eryngli...?''
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Her DeadpanSnarker remarks on the group on going back outside after the initial incident and dropping ''right into'' Junes [[MassOhCrap at the worst time possible in no disguises]]. While [[MsFanservice Mitsuru]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene Akihiko]] are in their {{Fanservice}} outfits. While Kanji, Rise, and Naoto stick out like a sore thumb. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers While Teddie and Labrys]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny are completely oblivious to the situation at hand]].
* PileBunker: Her All-Out Attack begins with one.
%% PowerLimiter
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Labrys' Red. Their eyes are even ColorCodedForYourConvenience!
* RoboSpeak: Downplayed, as she generally speaks like a normal human, though with a very robotic affect. According to Mitsuru's story, however, she plays up this trope when she wants to say something she knows the other party wouldn't approve of.
%% RobotGirl
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She was given a human-like psyche and appearance in order to use a Persona. [[TheResenter Shadow Aigis resents this.]]
* ShieldBash: Courtesy of her Persona.
* ShoulderCannon: Her Instant Kill starts with her firing a shoulder-mounted, rapid-firing cannon.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: She's been improving since ''Persona 3'' but she still has her moments. When she meets Kanji, for example, she lapse back into her old days and [[BlatantLies introduces herself a transfer student]]. [[DiggingYourselfDeeper She then brings explicit attention to her gatling gun]], before just dropping it right there.
* SoLastSeason: Aigis has upgraded large portions of her body and has an arsenal of new weapons at her disposal.
* SubmissiveBadass:
** She doubts her leadership ability even though she has the experience from being SEES's field leader, where she demonstrated effective leadership abilities that are easily on par with that of Yu's. Even after showing that she's still an effective leader against the plane hijackers, Aigis happily relinquishes control to Mitsuru without hesitation.
** Aigis is far more modest than Yu when it comes to demonstrating the power of the Wild Card. [[spoiler:However, during the only time she actually does decide to use it, she managed to effortlessly neutralize Yu's power when he managed to suddenly turn the tables on Elizabeth. It's actually a highly impressive feat given that Yu's power was able to overpower the almighty Elizabeth, yet Aigis had easily dispelled it with almost no effort on her part. When Yu defeated her in his story mode, he immediately said that he only did so because she was only half-assing it the entire time because she had underestimated him and was unaware of his true abilities. Otherwise, she would have easily thrashed him]]
** [[spoiler:Shadow Aigis, however, completely averts this. Her extreme insanity and bloodlust, coupled by the fact that she is one of the two most powerful members of the Shadow Army (the other being Shadow Yu), caused her to become far more aggressive than her other self, leading her to desert the army so she could kill and destroy to her heart's content.]]
* SuperMode: Her hyper-clocked "Orgia Mode" is once again featured as one of her main gameplay mechanics. In ''Ultimax'', she has a further powered up version of Orgia Mode that is only accessible when the situation is dire (she must have 150 SP to use, but also be overheating from Orgia Mode overuse, have no bullets, and be in Persona Break). During this mode, she can boost more times per jump, her strong Persona attacks attack automatically, and her bullets and Persona cards refill.
* SuplexFinisher: The first promotional poster Atlus released for Ultimax featured Aigis using a very brutal one against Yu.
%% TelescopingRobot
* TimeAbyss: Acknowledged by Elizabeth, who anticipates Aigis "will become a compatriot of mine, unbound by the limitations of time."
* TheCoatsAreOff: In one of her intros.
* UncannyValley: When Yu Narukami meets her, he ponders about this trope in regard to her human-like appearance. [[invoked]]
* UpToEleven: Personality-wise, Shadow Aigis is described by many players as a far more extreme version of Shadow Yu. This makes sense since [[spoiler:Aigis is essentially Yu's predecessor to the Wild Card, making their personalities quite comparable to each other, with some slight differences.]]
* XRayVision: At the start of her storyline, she's able to see through an airliner hull to locate the terrorists and later sees just enough through Naoto's clothes to tell Naoto's female.

!Junpei Iori (The Mighty Strike-Out Slugger)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junpei_633.png]]
[[caption-width-right:200:Tadadada! A triple-A simpleton!]]
-->''"Two outs and the bases loads, and I'm up to bat!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Magician\\
'''Persona:''' Trismegistus\\
'''Main Weapon:''' [[BatterUp Bat]]\\
'''Style:''' [[IKnowMaddenKombat Baseball]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KosukeToriumi (Japanese) and Creator/VicMignogna (English)
A former member of S.E.E.S., a group of Gekkoukan High School students and Persona users. He now works part time as a baseball coach, and occasionally helps out the Shadow Operatives when Mitsuru asks him to ([[ButtMonkey she rarely does]]). When he misses his train stop and arrives at Yasoinaba, he becomes entwined in the strange happenings there.
Junpei's Instant Kill is '''Explosive Level-Up Grand Slam'''. Trismegistus grabs the opponent, and then flies into outer space. Junpei winds up, and the opponent gets pitched at him from space. Junpei then hits the opponent as they come crashing down, causing them to fly into a scoreboard, which gets burned by the impact.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AttackReflector: Junpei can hit opposing projectiles with his bat to turn them into speedy fireballs that launch the other way. Doing so gives him additional runners on base. He also puts this property to good use with one of his SP Skills.
* BatterUp: His weapon of choice is a wooden baseball bat. He also has a unique gameplay mechanic which relies on the player scoring "runs" by successfully connecting with bat attacks without "striking out" by missing (which results in a strike) or taking damage (which results in a straight out). Getting ten runs activates his Victory Cry skill, which [[PowerGlows causes him to glow]] and increases the damage of many of his moves.
** If Junpei hits the opponent normally, he will earn a base hit, while a blocked attack earns him a ball. His offensive Supers can count as a home run, earning Junpei as many runs as there are loaded bases plus one, but resetting the amount of bases loaded.
* BattleAura:
** During Victory Cry mode, Junpei has a faint golden aura around himself and he also glows gold periodically.
** If Junpei has two strikes, three balls and two outs, he has a faint red glow around himself. At this point, the next bat attack will be counted as a Fatal Counter.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: {{Shadow|Archetype}} [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/a90a6978d81bb671ad3e9001b1cbb120/tumblr_mxemv6qcNK1qj6bfuo6_1280.jpg Junpei]].
* ButtMonkey: Life is never easy for those of the Magician Arcana.
** He ended up involved in the P-1 Climax because he was daydreaming about marrying Chidori on a train and missed his stop.
** His cell phone battery dies early on during the crisis.
** Due to the above examples, Yukari, Ken and Koromaru got called to go to Inaba without him because they had no way of contacting him.
** Even though he is part of the Shadow Operatives, he is almost never asked to take part in a operation. General Teddie even goes so far as to call Junpei a {{mook}}.
** His title from the LemonyNarrator, "The Mighty Strike-Out Slugger", makes fun of his constant failures.
** Hell, in the first promotional trailer, the Red Fog presumably cuts the power half a second before Junpei presses a button on a soda machine!
* CallBack: One of Junpei's lines after winning a match is the same thing he says when he levels up in ''Persona 3''.
* CoolTeacher: Coaches a baseball team, while still being as laid back as ever.
* DeathFromAbove: One of Trismegistus' attacks has him smashing down on top of an opponent from orbit.
* DivingKick: On the part of Trismegistus. Junpei himself also has one.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Junpei seems so aloof to Rise and Yukiko that they initially don’t believe him presenting himself as a Shadow Operatives Officer, even though he had just showed a bit of his combat prowess minutes before, and when the girls do come to believe Junpei is the real deal they still express some worry, concerned that he wouldn’t be able take care of himself.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: In one attack, Junpei will swing his bat so hard he spins around multiple times before regaining his footing.
* ForMassiveDamage: Junpei has a mechanic called "Clean Hit", which is essentially an inversion of AttackItsWeakPoint. If Junpei hits his opponent with a specific part of his bat (the "sweet spot") then his attacks will have enhanced properties, allowing for combos that aren't otherwise possible. His supers have this property intrinsically, but Junpei must have Victory Cry active in order for his other bat moves to be able to Clean Hit.
* ItWasAGift: [[WordOfGod According to Atlus]], Junpei's cross necklace was a gift from Chidori.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He's a huge fan of Rise, and to see her in person makes him fanboy in his chapter.
* {{Leitmotif}}: His regular theme is ''"Mr. Easy-Going"'', but his Shadow has ''Deep Breath Deep Breath''.
* MightyGlacier: Not to the same extent of Kanji, but Junpei is not very fast. However, he can set up masive damage and even without that, he can still dish out high amounts of damage.
* NiceHat: Has switched to a backwards pinstripe baseball cap.
* OddCouple: His and Yukari’s banter are explored even further here, the two bicker, argue, provoke each other a lot, but the two feel secure and seek each other just as much, in fact one of Chapters for the Story Mode focused on the two is literally named like said trope.
* OlderAndWiser: Most obvious example out of the ''P3'' cast. He's still the same laid-back, fun-loving oaf we came to know in ''Persona 3'', but he's more mature and worldly than he used to be. As such, he has every right to call Sho an immature brat when they meet during Junpei's arcade mode.
* PlayingWithFire: Trismegistus can shoot short-range blasts of flame, and all of Junpei's SP Skills ignite the opponent on hit.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Similar to Mitsuru and Akihiko he and Yukari are close but with no romance involved.
* ProductionThrowback: Junpei's Clean Hit mechanic originally came from Sol Badguy, the protagonist of Arc System Works's original fighting game series, ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.
* SituationalDamageAttack: Junpei Iori has a mechanic called "Clean Hit" where if he hits his opponent with a specific part of his bat, he'll do more hitstun and damage than normal, allowing for combos that aren't otherwise possible.
* SlideAttack: Has a sliding ground kick for his sweep and the third part of his auto-combo. One of his special moves is a face-first baseball slide.
* SpinAttack: One of his moves involves spinning rapidly while swinging his bat.
* SuperMode: Victory Cry, which gets activated as soon as Junpei has 10 runs in his baseball counter. It will increase the power of his attacks, slowly regenerate his health and SP (not unlike [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Spring of Life]] from ''Persona 3''), and allow him to land Clean Hits with any move that involves his bat. Even better, the more runs Junpei scores (the counter maxes out at 55), the more damage he does and the faster he regenerates health and SP! Oh, and one other thing: his score counter ''does not reset between rounds.'' If he's activated Victory Cry in the first round, it will stay active for the rest of the match.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Yukari, as usual.
* WreckedWeapon: The home run slam that finishes off his opponent in his Instant Kill snaps his bat in half.

-->''"Feather Change!"''
->'''Arcana:'''[[TarotMotifs Lovers]]\\
'''Persona:''' Isis\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Bow and Arrow\\
'''Style:''' LongRangeFighter
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiToyoguchi (Japanese) and Creator/MichelleRuff (English)
A former member of S.E.E.S., a group of Gekkoukan High School students and Persona users. Now in college, she works part time as a FashionModel and actress. She also stars in the latest iteration of ''Persona'''s ShowWithinAShow parody of Franchise/SuperSentai and Franchise/PowerRangers, ''Phoenix Ranger Featherman Victory''.
One day however, an actual helicopter not part of the filming appears on the set. Labrys and the Kirijo family maid Kikuno emerge from the copter and inform Yukari of Mitsuru's dire status. Taking no time to even change costumes, Yukari, accompanied by Labrys, heads to Yasoinaba.
Her Instant Kill is '''Final Feather⭐Arrow'''. Yukari launches an arrow in the air. If it hits her opponent, she uses her Evoker to summon Isis who keeps her opponent in place by hitting them with wind strikes. Then Yukari fires a powerful arrow from the sky which obliterates her foe.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Her costume features Phoenix and bird imagery. Her character is even named after a pheasant relative, the argus.
* ActionGirl: She's the lead ranger for one and Yukari has always been described as sporty and athletic. In the games Persona 3 ending, a star-struck Ken reveals to the team that Yukari in her role as Feather Pink, performs her own action stunts. Her moves in the game also reflect this too as she can do flips in mid-air, fire arrows at a rapid pace and can even melee the opponent and do it all in style.
* {{Adorkable}}: She gets really flustered and embarrassed whenever someone makes a comment about her costume.
* BadassCape: Has a pink, pointed cape sewn to the back of her superhero costume, not unlike [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger Momo Ranger]].
* BadassAdorable: You've got to admit she looks both bad-ass and adorable in this game, her official artwork pretty much encapsulates this trope.
* BerserkButton: Saying anything about her father, and the fact that he had a hand in the experiments done by the Kirijo Group, is a sure fire way to set her off.
* BlowYouAway: Can place Garu (Wind) traps and summon a Magarula windstorm with Isis. [[FridgeBrilliance Notably it's the element the Lovers Arcana is associated with.]]
** WindIsGreen: As usual with Garu spells.
* ByThePowerOfGraySkull: "Here we go...Feather Change!" and in her arcade route "Soar wings of love! Phoenix Mode!"
* BigDamnHeroes: Yukari pulls a moment like this when Isis' Garu completely repels Tsukiyomi's surprise attack when the rest of ''The Shadow Operatives'' arrive on top of Junes.
* CombatCommentator: An [[UnlockableContent unlockable]] option.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: One of Yukari's [[VictoryPose victory poses]] has her helmet magically appear out of nowhere, she twirls her bow and then stays still for the camera, just long enough for it to capture her [[SuperSentaiStance stance.]]
* CaptainErsatz: Dresses and uses a bow like [[TheChick the Pink Ranger]] from various Franchise/SuperSentai[=/=]Franchise/PowerRangers iterations.[[note]]Specifically [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Ptera Ranger]]/[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the Mighty Morphin' Pink Ranger]], [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Pink Racer]]/[[Series/PowerRangersTurbo the Pink Turbo Ranger]], and [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Ginga Pink]]/[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy the Pink Galaxy Ranger]]. Her phoenix motif also brings to mind [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Gosei Pink]]/[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce the Pink Megaforce Ranger]].[[/note]]
* CoolHelmet: Her Pink Argus helmet, which looks like a futuristic motorcycle helmet.
* ContinuityNod: She now works on the sequel to the ShowWithinAShow introduced in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', ''Phoenix Ranger Featherman Victory''.
* CallingYourAttacks: A story-mode example. Like in Persona 3 Yukari does not appreciate perverted or intentionally provoking remarks as Teddie finds out and then later Junpei.
--> (after Teddie gets to close for comfort) "Hey what are you...HEY! Feather Smash!"
* {{Determinator}}: One of Yukari's most notable traits in Persona 3 and she has not lost it, this trait considerably shows itself in her battle dialogue.
--> (after using a continue) "Now's not the time to stay on the ground!"
* DifficultButAwesome: By far the most input heavy character in the game combined with an extremely tricky play-style. Her combos are hard, long and extremely precise but her damage output is insane.
* EnergyBow: Her bow fires glowing red laser arrows instead of normal ones, eliminating the need for a quiver.
* FriendToAllChildren: She has a big soft-spot for kids and one of the primary reasons she became Feather Pink was her need to teach and remind kids about important life lessons, like not bringing harm into their lives and to protect those who are important to them. It warms her heart to know she's giving hope to children. [[FridgeBrilliance She also shares this trait with her ultimate Persona Isis.]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Seems to be a trend when it comes to the spin-offs, in the P4 story-mode Yukari with all of her years and experience battling shadows is somehow bested and ambushed by her {{Mook}} copy, she is then rescued by Rise who at the time had no prior battle experience, Yukari then proceeds to fangirl over her seemingly forgetting that Mitsuru, Akihiko and Aigis are still in danger. Thankfully there is no trace of this in the P3 story-mode were Yukari is more depicted [[BadAss true to form]] actually focused on her goal and being able to handle herself in battle as common-sense rules would allow.
* GirlyBruiser: Just because she looks [[{{Adorkable}} adorable]] in her Pink Featherman costume it does not mean she will pull her punches, as Rise comments in a versus match with Yukari.
--> "She's aggressive don't let her beat you."
* GoGetterGirl: While she was always a gung-ho sort of person and was both extremely devoted to her high school Archery Club and S.E.E.S, now at the age of nineteen she is not only a college student but also a fashion model and television actress, not to mention she still helps Mitsuru albeit in a part-time basis as member of the ''The Shadow Operatives'' Yukari definitely fits this trope to a tee.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Yukari's phasmophobia is still quite evident and Junpei gleefully takes advantage of this when their together. In her arcade route Yukari fearfully notes that the newly transformed Yasogami High School looks haunted.
* GenderedOutfit: Like the rest of the female rangers Yukari's costume comes with a skirt.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Plays this somewhat straight, while the majority of her attacks uses her Bow in someway she still has moves that can let her melee the opponent and with the help of Isis, Yukari can close the gap between her and her opponent or create tricky cross-ups up close.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mitsuru, their bond has only gotten stronger after all these years, though it experiences a minor hiccup in the beginning of the game. Their bond is highlighted further in Yukari's ending.
* IconicItem: Yukari still wears her signature heart choker though its not part of her casual outfit ensemble.
* InSeriesNickname: She's still called Yuka-tan (Yukaricchi when Japanese vocals are used) by Junpei.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Her regular theme is ''Pink Sniper'', but her Shadow has ''Calamity.''
* TheLostLenore: The Protagonist of Persona 3 is still this to her.
* MagicMissile: If she fires an arrow into an onscreen Garu trap, the arrow becomes a homing wind projectile.
* MythologyGag: Her idle animation and round victory pose replicates her ''Persona 3'' artwork.
* NotSoFakePropWeapon: Her Pink Argus EnergyBow isn't just a prop, it actually works and was made by Kikuno because of Yukari's affinity for bows.
* OlderAndWiser: Yukari has definitely matured and blossomed to quite a level-headed young woman but is still quite prone to provocations as she admits to Teddie after her fight against Shadow Mitsuru (See Above Trope Berserk Button).
* OddCouple: Hers and Junpei’s banter are explored even further here, the two bicker, argue, provoke each other a lot, but the two feel secure and seek each other just as much, in fact one of Chapters for the Story Mode focused on the two is literally named like said trope.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Was a main member of her high school Archery Club and was still one of its more active members even after joining S.E.E.S, her diligence to her sport is the main reason Yukari got cast as Feather Pink, her already exemplary skills with the Bow and Arrow has only gotten better over the years.
* PinkIsFeminine: As usual when it comes to Yukari.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Similar to Mitsuru and Akihiko, Yukari and Junpei are close but with no Romance involved.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: In a odd way. Because of the way her suit is designed, when the helmet removed, it exposes the chest in a very unsubtle fashion. While on her mission (and robbed of a chance to change clothes), she gets extremely embarrassed because of the attention she garners from wearing the suit. Because the suit also reveals her cleavage, she gets very upset and flustered if she suspects ''anyone''--not just guys--of staring at it during a fight. Her idle animation shows her covering up her chest, assuming that her opponent is looking there instead of fighting her.
* {{Sentai}}: Stars in ''Persona'''s Franchise/SuperSentai[=/=]Franchise/PowerRangers parody. As the lead ranger no less.
* SuperSentaiStance: Performs one with her team in her introductory chapter pretty much cementing Yukari's role as the lead ranger as she's the one placed front and center and not the red ranger. She also performs a single-variant one as her victory pose.
* ShoutOut: Her arsenal includes what appears to be [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger the Goranger Hurricane ball]], albeit with a target and a parachute. [[StuffBlowingUp Shooting it causes it to explode.]]
* StandardStatusEffects: Yukari's arrows can inflict Charm, Silence or Confusion.
* SuperMode: Yukari's [[SuperMode awakening]] super Magarula is regarded as one of the best supers in the game. Yukari has full movement during it and she can catch the opponent off guard if their blocking on the ground, the super itself deals massive chip damage if successfully blocked. Although Yukari can throw an unblockable bomb and shot at it if the opponent blocks in the air allowing her to follow it up with a combo. Her Instant Kill shows her Bows limiters removed with pulsing green energy coming out of it as Yukari gets ready to fire a giant arrow in the air at the opponent trapped in Isis' wind vortex below.
* SpiritedYoungLady: As gutsy as ever and is definitely making the most out of her life.
* ShesGotLegs: Most notably seen in her casual outfit concept art.
* StraightMan: To Junpei and Teddies antics.
* TransformationTrinket: Yukari's Featherman wristwatch.
* TransformationSequence: After eight years since her original debut, Yukari is introduced to us once again with this. Her transformation has a mix of both HenshinHero and MagicalGirl motifs, accompanied with a PowerGlows costume change.
* ThemeNaming: Most of Yukari's moves have the word "Feather" in their names (i.e. Feather⭐Flip).
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: As usual. As seen with her actions [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} in the past]], Yukari [[SpiritedYoungLady isn't quite the]] ArcherArchetype.
* TrickArrow: By shooting any of her arrows, normal or super, through a Garu trap, they will redirect themselves at her opponent.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Mitsuru. As soon as she found out Mitsuru was kidnapped, she agreed to go after her without a second thought.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Junpei, as usual.

!Ken Amada and Koromaru (The Pretentious Tenderfoot Duo)
!!Ken Amada
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_4_964.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250: A youthful craving for respect!]]
-->''"We're up, Koromaru!"''
->'''Arcana:''' Justice\\
'''Persona:''' Kala-Nemi\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Spear\\
'''Style:''' [[PuppetFighter Tag Team]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiOgata (Japanese), Creator/CindyRobinson (English)
A former member of S.E.E.S. and the youngest human Persona-user in the series. He acts notably mature for his age, though he does suffer some issues involving his MissingMom. After the events of ''Persona 3'', Ken has moved on to middle school and became a member of the student council, as well as a reserve member of the Shadow Operatives. He joins the fight in ''Ultimax'' after Mitsuru and the others are kidnapped.
His Instant Kill is '''Baptism of Light and Darkness''' where he whistles to make Koromaru charge forwards while he is surrounded with fire shaped like a wolf head. Upon hitting, the opponent is launched into the air as the two of them summon their Personas to cast Mahamaon and Mamudoon, creating a sphere around the opponent which obliterates the opponent, only leaving light and dark particles behind.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Downplayed since puberty hit him after ''Persona 3'', but it's there, especially with his dialogue portraits.
* {{Bishonen}}: He grew up really well.
* BladeOnAStick: A jumonji-yari in orange, his signature color from ''Persona 3''. It's also segmented and held together by chains, like the staff of [[VideoGame/FatalFury Billy]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Kane]].
* ChickMagnet: Judging by the squealing girls heard in the background during his intro cut-scene, though he doesn't seem to care.
* CombatCommentator: Is available as an unlockable navigator during matches.
* CombatMedic: Has access to healing moves like Mediarama; its effect is near worthless on Ken and is moreso used to restore Koromaru's health.
* CustomUniform: Notably averted: He wears the male Gekkoukan Uniform properly, which none of the male S.E.E.S. members did in their original game.
** This is interestingly played straight with one of his beta designs.
* DeadpanSnarker: If his Japanese title is anything to go by.
* DeathSeeker: His Shadow implies he wants to be killed so that he can be with his dead mother or as possible repentance for [[spoiler:Shinjiro's sacrifice]].
* TheDividual: He and Koromaru act as a single character in gameplay.
* FragileSpeedster: Has some of the lowest health in the game (8,500) but is quite fast and has some of the highest damage off a single button of anyone in the cast. And then there's his range....
* GenerationXerox: In Persona 3, Ken greatly looked up to Akihiko, an athlete with a posse of Squeeing fangirls. Three years later, Ken has become...an athlete with a posse of Squeeing fangirls.
* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]]: Honestly, he got hit with a massive growth spurt and he's still in freakin' middle school. The fact that he's wearing the Gekkokaun uniform rather than his former signature shorts helps.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ken's normal theme is "Youthful Spirit", his shadow theme is unknown.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Played with. Mitsuru encourages him to be a normal kid, and Ken complies — at least until her kidnapping. Deep down, he knows he can ''never'' be a "normal kid" again after what he went through 3 years ago.
** Though played straight in the end. At the end of the story, Ken chooses to give up his honorary Shadow Operative status so he can at least try to make a normal life for himself.
* LightEmUp: He uses Hama in his and Koromaru's Instant Kill.
%% LightIsGood
* MyGreatestFailure: Seems to view Shinjiro's death as this, which is why he makes an effort to ensure no-one ends up dying for him again.
* OnlySaneMan: His entrance in story mode, and various other scenes, make him this to ... just about every other cast member.
* PuttingOnTheReich: One of his [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/0/03/Ken_Amada_and_Koromaru_P4AU_Prototype2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141219012654 outfits in the concept art]] has him wear an SS-esque uniform, complete with a whip and hat.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: He's the member of the former S.E.E.S. wearing a school uniform to battle. Justified, as he's still in middle school and [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive enters the fight]] rather abruptly.
* ShockAndAwe: Just like in FES, he has access to electric skills, this time in the form of his Thunder Reign super.
* TeensAreShort: Averted. He's quite tall for his age. In gameplay terms, he's roughly as tall as ''Yosuke'' -- the ''tallest character in the game''. (Tallest in terms of vertical hurtboxes, not listed height. This matters when some characters have idle animations that cause them to dodge attacks.)
* TokenMiniMoe: Is still the youngest human Persona-user at thirteen.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ken's gotten pretty tall for a Japanese thirteen-year-old (he's 5'1").
!!Koromaru
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_5_2668.png]]
->'''Arcana:''' Strength\\
'''Persona:''' Cerberus\\
'''Main Weapon:''' Kunai
The former TeamPet of S.E.E.S. A dog who gained access to a Persona after he witnessed the death of his master in a hit-and-run.
After the events of ''Persona 3'', Koromaru moved in with Ken and started wearing the hoodie Ken used to wear when he was still in elementary school.
Debuts in ''Ultimax''.
----
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his dog. Only after he moves in with Ken, though. Ken even brings the trope up in one of their win quotes.
-->'''Ken''': You thought we were just a boy and his dog, didn't you? That's why you lost.
* BadassAdorable: Still as cute and cuddly and {{Badass}} as ever!
%% CanineCompanion
* CastingAShadow: Uses Mudo for his and Ken's Instant Kill.
%% DarkIsNotEvil
* ContinuityNod: The hoodie Koromaru wears in this game is the same hoodie that Ken himself used to wear during the events of ''Persona 3'', now with the wings of his own old shirt.
* DeathIsCheap: Emptying out his life bar only knocks him out for a few seconds.
* ForMassiveDamage: Where Koromaru is positioned determines the damage of one of Ken's supers, and their Awakening super does much less damage if Koromaru is off-screen or knocked out.
* KnifeNut: Being a dog, he [[CutlassBetweenTheTeeth carries one in his mouth]], in contrast to [[DualWielding Yosuke]].
* PlayingWithFire: Can cast Agi spells thanks to Cerberus.
* SatelliteCharacter: Most story relates elements are attributed to Ken; justified though, seeing how Koromaru's just a dog.
