History Characters / Persona5EndgameAntagonists

* FemaleMisogynist: Implied to be becoming one but outside of the seven normal subtypes. Some shadows in her Palace take the form of [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure ridiculously voluptuous]] {{playboy bunny}} waitresses, suggesting that Sae herself is starting to become influenced by her own male superior's misogynistic views.

* CharClone: Very ''Char's Counterattack'' in terms of motivation and personality (an elitist prick looking to change the world to his own desires, even if it means devastating the planet), however his shadow has visual aspects that reference both 0079 (a white, helmeted mask of a very similar style) and Zeta (a mount of pure gold). He's also voiced by Char's actor in ''both'' Japanese (Creator/ShuichiIkeda) and English (Creator/KeithSilverstein).

* SatanicArchetype: Shido, as himself or as Samael, fulfills almost every negative aspect of this trope, to contrast Joker's SatanIsGood and DarkIsNotEvil themes. Samael is another name for the Devil in Judaism, or at the very least an angelic name associated with the Devil. As Samael, Shido serves a literal god, whether he knows it or not, with his treasure resembling a halo, and several of his forms have gold or light motifs. He's a DiabolicalMastermind who regularly screws over anyone and everyone who makes a deal with him. He represents pride in the SevenDeadlySins motif the other Palace Rulers follow, just like Lucifer. In keeping with past {=MegaTen=} games, Shido fills largely the same role as Satan (not Lucifer) does in the mainline series such as Shin Megami Tensei II. He's a very LawfulEvil monster with a lot of light or heavenly imagery that is the last major roadblock before YHVH or Yaldabaoth reveals himself.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: His Shadow's security meter icon, combined with a SlasherSmile.

* VocalEvolution: In the English dub of ''Royal'', Michael's voice changes from an elderly and raspy-sounding EvilBrit from the original English release to one very similar to Yoshida's (due to it being [[Creator/WilliamSaylers the same voice actor]]), a slightly-younger but more authoritatively deep voice with an American accent, not unlike YHVH himself in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse''.

* LaughablyEvil: A '''very''' downplayed example. Shido is so ball-bustingly and unbelievably StupidEvil that a player will probably both hate his guts and drop their jaws in utter disbelief when they hear that he got rid of Wakaba and ruined her daughter's life just because he could, killed Okumura over an ''election'' and doesn't even bother to actually remember the names and identities of the people he killed and ruined even if he just destroyed their lives a month ago.

** To Joker. Both have a desire to reform society, but Joker chooses to reform it out of a desire to help people who suffer under society's cruel expectations, whereas Shido simply wants to reform it to suit his own power-hungry needs. Joker doesn't sell out his team, leads from the front, inspires others and wins their loyalty through genuine kindness. Shido stabs everybody in the back who gives him the chance, doesn't lift a finger himself until he has no other choice, threatens even those who work for him and only cares about himself. Both of them are manipulative tricksters--Shido deceived all of Japan into thinking he's a hero, while Joker regularly outsmarts actual criminals and villains. To highlight Shido as Joker's EvilCounterpart, the second "Bad Ending" has Joker accept Yaldabaoth's offer, disillusioned by how people refuse to act for themselves, and becomes a borderline KnightTemplar. This is eerily similar to how Shido had planned to enforce his own authority over the blind, indolent masses once he wins the election.

* CatchPhrase: Proclaiming that she will do things "[[BlatantLies fair and square]]". The one time she actually means it is after she goes OneWingedAngel and fights the party head-on. The other one, "I will win," a reference to her SecondPlaceIsForLosers mentality.
