*An Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, created by Master Daidara. Somebody sold him 8 plumes of darkness, likely Akihiko in order to get his protein fix, and he was inspired to create a self portrait in weapon form.

* Ryoji Mochizuki. Both seem to have a connection with the P3 cast. Both have the word 'moon' in their names. Sho's weapons are dual blades that looks like the ones Thanatos wields. Very flimsy evidence but it's all I got.

* Sho is known to like fighting. At the same time, he is willing to let every one know that he was behind the Red Mist. As such, him trying to make other fight him by framing himself as the culprit behind the mist (Like how Mitsuo claimed to be the culprit behind the murders to get attention) is really likely. His two titles also reflect this: "The Lawbreaking Pun Machine" makes him seem more like a punk than a real bad guy and "Defaced Dark Messiah" makes him seem like he is claiming to be a serious threat even though is clear that he isn't that.

* While it's clear that Sho has been Sho-wn (he's apparently a pun machine, may as well get the ball rolling) to be somebody claiming villainy, his design is so obviously screaming "Hey, I'm an evil guy." that you just know he won't be the main villain. His title with a Persona, the "Defaced Dark Messiah", despite the usual negative connotations we apply to DarkMessiah on here, could be a nod at him becoming something of an AntiHero. Sho'll probably undergo the basics of what happens to somebody who claims the whole IWorkAlone bit: Can hold his own, eventually gets his ass kicked, friendship shows him up, joins up with friendship. It's also possible his being able to match the Persona-users without using one himself comes from somebody (the Malevolent Entity, or perhaps Sho's shadow) empowering him.

* Marie from ''Persona 4 Golden'' - if Labrys can make it into the original game & have only appeared in a Drama CD previously, there's no reason Marie, a character who actually appeared in a game, couldn't make an appearance.

* Minato/Minako Arisato: A mode changing character similar to Aigis. They start out as a weak JackOfAllStats, having little variety of attacks between them or Orpheus. But when they get 50 SP, they can spend it to temporarily [[MagikarpPower transform Orpheus into]] either [[SuperMode Messiah]][[hottip:*:A powerful keep away]] or [[SuperMode Orpheus Telos]][[hottip:*:Who specializes in up-close rushdowns]]. The result is one of the most diverse characters overall. As a drawback, using either Super Mode makes them very Persona dependant, so getting a Persona Break would both cripple them and waste their SP. The difference between the two protagonists is that Minato will play like a weaker Yu while Minako will have slower, long ranged normals.

[[WMG:Additions to the update/sequel]]
* It was recently announced that ''Arena'' received a [[NoExportForYou Japanese arcade-only]] patch/sequel that added the following major additions:
** [[{{Persona 3}} Junpei Iori and Yukari Takeba]] as playable characters.
** The ability to play as each character's Shadow Self ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation Labrys and Shadow Labrys are still counted as different characters]]), being more meter-reliant (full gauge for each round) at the expense of no Burst and Awakening.)
* While there are no current plans to bring this to consoles or outside Japan, it is an inevitability that this will push though, considering that both ''GuiltyGear'' and ''BlazBlue'' have had their fair share of updates as well. Arcsys would do well to add a few additions for the consoles:
** More characters: It would make more sense to finish the Shadow Ops/S.E.E.S. by adding Ken Amada (the final surviving member of S.E.E.S. who has not been added yet), but adding [[TheHero Makato Yuki]], ''P3's'' main protagonist would make a welcome addition as well. While it would be a long shot, one can even try adding [[GuestStarPartyMember Shinjiro]] [[BackFromTheDead Aragaki]], or even a character from previous ''Persona'' games.

** Great concept, yes. However, ASW/Mori Toshimichi has stated that BlazBlue won't be crossing over with anything (not even GuiltyGear, which would've made more sense) until its story is concluded. Continuum Shift is only halfway of the overall story, so them crossing over with Persona wouldn't be at that time. It may be possible, but it'll take a damn long time and by the time it comes, I think we'd be having Persona 5 or 6 or 7, where the Persona 4 cast would be considered 'old school'. But if you're still looking for a BlazBlue X Persona story... (Warning: Shameless Self Promotion!) [[FanFic/ShadowsOfTheAzure there's fanfic...]]
