The ''Persona Meme-verse'' is a series of videos based on the [[VideoGame/Persona3 three]] [[VideoGame/Persona4 most]] [[VideoGame/Persona5 recent]] ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'' games, created by [=YouTuber=] Jamezietocool. The plot centers around a mix of characters from all three games as they go about their day-to-day lives. Occasionally, they must fight against the forces of Creator/{{Atlus}}, who seek to bring various characters back under their control through any means necessary, among other things.
That description doesn't really do the series justice, though. What it ''actually'' is is a StylisticSuck WidgetSeries fueled by memes, [[{{Flanderization}} flanderizations]] of the characters, and the weirdest take on the power of Personas yet, loosely connected by the above-mentioned plot. Hilarity, action, and (rarely) drama ensue.
The full series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtOYDUysiLAUkxIOAP2aIIl3wlyP_l1o0 here]].

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Personas as depicted here are [[SuperMode Super Modes]] which allow the user to increase their power by transforming into objects normally based on well-known ''Persona'' memes.
* AerithAndBob: Among the normal Japanese names the rest of the cast has, there's also FEMC, Aigis, and [[spoiler:[=HaremF**ker249=]]].
* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:"Persona Shipping" ends with this reveal.]]
** "Atlus Makes a DREAM Game" is one, as Mr. Atlus reminds Joker to the point of annoyance.
* ArcWords: Forgetting and remembering (and variants thereof) are brought up throughout the series.
* AxCrazy: Haru, who burns down Atlus when [[DisproportionateRetribution they don't recognize her or give her more screen time]] and chases after people with an actual ax later.
** Futaba seems a bit ''too'' excited at the prospect of murdering multiple Jokers...
--> ''Morgana, go get Sojiro’s chainsaw!''
* BerserkButton: Don't tell Akechi to stop saying "pancakes".
** Don’t break curfew, or Morgana ''will'' find you and ''will'' send you to bed by force.
* BigBad: Creator/{{Atlus}}.
* BigWhat: "Nani?"
* BlackSpeech: Used in the first episode when the director is referring to the ''Persona 5'' anime and Goro Akechi.
* BondOneLiner: After defeating Yusuke in his Persona form, Akechi asks Naoto "Did you want that lobster for here or to go?"
* ButtMonkey: Poor, poor Haru. Whenever she makes an appearance in an episode, she suffers some sort of misfortune.
* CainAndAbel: Makoto Yuki and FEMC, the former being the Cain and the latter being the Abel.
* CatchPhrase: [[BigWhat "Nani?"]] seems to be one for every character in the series.
** Akechi has "pancakes" as his.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Futaba Gets A Toaster", Aigis' rapid-fire curry-making skills [[spoiler:end up taking down Labrys when nothing else worked]].
* ChristmasEpisode: "Morgana vs. Christmas", in which Morgana tries to stop Tohru Adachi from stealing presents with the help of [[spoiler:Tatsuya Suou]].
* CoolBike: [[spoiler:Tatsuya]] can turn into one with his Persona.
* DeathByGenreSavviness: In "Haru gets her Screen Time", Shinya shoots down Haru as she's sneaking up on him and proclaims that he won't be the victim of a generic first kill. Seconds later, the not actually dead Haru kills him.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In "Persona Ships", Kanji, Yukari, and Ann get into a fight over which of their (sailing) ships is the best. When Joker tries to mediate the situation by telling them that all ships are great, they immediately gang up on him for daring to bring their ships down.
* DullSurprise: Since everyone is voiced by a text-to-speech program, everyone reacts to things with this.
* EliteMook: [[spoiler:Labrys is apparently this for Atlus, being more powerful than any previously-established field agent]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Makoto Yuki seems to genuinely love his sister, and doesn't want her to be forgotten by Atlus.
* ExpendableClone: No sympathy is given to the multiple Joker clones, as killing them is the only way the characters can get rid of them. [[spoiler:[=HaremF**ker249=] is also not above using one of his clones to distract Akechi.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Haru chops Mishima's eyes out with an ax at the end of their fight.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: It's implied that being "forgotten" by Atlus is one; it's already happened to the characters from ''Persona'' 1 and 2 ([[spoiler:though Tatsuya seems to have escaped this fate somehow]]), and Makoto Yuki doesn't want the same fate to befall FEMC.
* {{Flanderization}}: Several characters undergo this to fit the comedic tone of the series:
** When she's not busy being a ButtMonkey, Haru's AxCrazy tendencies are ramped up considerably.
** Akechi only mentioned pancakes ''once'' in his home game. Here, "pancakes" is all he says, and his Persona lets him transform into a stack of pancakes.
** Morgana is shown utterly ''destroying'' Joker if he doesn't go to bed on time.
* FlatWhat: Morgana's response when he learns that Joker and FEMC plan on giving Christmas gifts to all the children in town.

* GiantEnemyCrab: Yusuke's Persona lets him turn into a giant lobster.
* GilliganCut: In "Futaba Gets A Toaster", when Sojiro asks her where Joker is, Futaba replies that he's running an errand. Cut to Joker being forced to do a ''Devil May Cry''' roleplay with Ryuji.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: It's implied there was one in "'You'll never see it coming' in a nutshell", possibly Atlus.]]
** Atlus is also this in [[spoiler:"Morgana vs. Christmas", as we learn in the end that Tohru Adachi is on their payroll]].
* TheGrinch: Morgana spends most of the Christmas episode as one. Just like the trope namer, he comes around at the end.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Though his status as an orphan isn't mentioned, Ken is clearly meant to fill this role in the Christmas episode.
* HopeSpot: In the first episode, the head of Atlus ''finally'' seems to remember who Haru is, realizing that she appeared in the beginning of ''Persona Q2''...except she was initially absent from that cutscene. And she didn't stick around long enough to see the point when she ''did'' make her appearance.
* KillItWithFire: FEMC did this with her clones in the past.
* TheLoad: Akechi for Team Atlus, as he's easily distracted, hard to understand, and attacks people at bad times.
* MadeOfIron: After [[spoiler:getting shot off a building by Akechi and landing on Morgana]], FEMC's only response is a flat "ouch".
** Joker survives getting stabbed in the chest [[ItMakesSenseInContext with a meme]].
* MesACrowd: Joker ends up suffering this as a result of his status as a HelloInsertNameHere protagonist. FEMC reveals that she and Makoto Yuki also suffered it in the past, and the only way they got out of it was by killing all the clones. Ultimately, the others decide to keep [[spoiler:[=HaremF**ker249=]]] and kill the rest, as he was the one who helped them fight Team Atlus.
* MundaneUtility: Aigis uses her abilities as a robot to make curry and coffee quickly.

--> '''Yusuke:''' Ouch. You've hit me right in my fabulous spot.\\
'''Naoto:''' But he hit you everywhere.\\
'''Yusuke:''' Exactly.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Akechi [[spoiler:shooting FEMC off of a building]] is ultimately what allows FEMC to escape Team Atlus and seek refuge with Joker and Morgana.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, every time Sojiro leaves Futaba alone, someone ends up dead, on fire, or (in [[ButtMonkey Haru's]] case) both.
* OhMyGods: Naoto says "What in the name of Yaldabaoth is that?!?" at one point.
* OnlySaneMan: Naoto seems to be this for Team Atlus as a whole.
* PercussiveMaitenance: Futaba performs this on Aigis to snap her out of her literal HeroicBSOD.
* PokemonSpeak: Akechi can only say "pancakes" (except when he’s in Persona mode). The subtitles translate what he says.
* OverusedRunningGag: The "You'll never see it coming" meme has become so overused InUniverse that Joker, FEMC, and Morgana decide to turn it into a DiscreditedMeme by force.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Naoto, Akechi, and Makoto Yuki serve as this for Atlus. [[spoiler:Adachi serves as a GuestStarPartyMember]].
* RageAgainstTheAuthor: Every character that opposes Atlus is doing this.
* SeriousBusiness: Memes are serious enough business for people to go to war over them.

** Morgana's Persona is just him dressed in a Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog costume.
** The Metal Gear "surprise" noise makes a brief appearance in “‘You’ll never see it coming’ in a nutshell”.
** In "Morgana vs. Christmas", when she’s informed that Santa isn’t real, FEMC lets out [[Series/{{Intervention}} the Best Cry Ever]].
** Ryuji apparently does ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' roleplay.
** In "Haru gets her Screen Time", we're briefly treated to a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' parody during Haru and Mishima's fight.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Haru's rampage against Atlus ended up laying the groundwork for FEMC to escape.
* StealthPun: FEMC's Persona is a can(n)on.
* StylisticSuck: The series is animated using low-quality clip art, and all the characters have their voices provided by text-to-speech programs or voice clips from the games.
* SuperSpeed: Morgana's Persona grants him this power.
* TakeThat:
** A number of jabs are made towards Atlus and the various decisions they’ve made when creating the ''Persona'' games (for example, not giving Haru much screen time).
** When ''Anime/Persona5TheAnimation'' is mentioned in the first episode, its title is stated in BlackSpeech.
** The characters from the first two ''Persona'' games were apparently forgotten and abandoned by Atlus, which is treated as a FateWorseThanDeath. [[spoiler:Tatsuya Suou somehow escaped this fate.]]
** In "Joker Finds His Canon Name", Futaba tests a Joker by asking him what her favorite video game is. The Joker guesses ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', and she immediately shoots him in the head.
* TeleportSpam: Adachi's main ability.
* TemptingFate: When Makoto Yuki threatens her with an evoker, FEMC tries to point out that he can't actually shoot it...only to get shot down mid-sentence. [[spoiler:By Akechi, not Makoto.]]
** In "When Joker doesn't go to bed", Ryuji tries to calm Ren's fears by telling him Morgana doesn't even know where he is. Cue Morgana.
* TranslatorBuddy: Naoto is the only one who can interpret Akechi's PokemonSpeak, and acts as a translator for others.
* UngratefulBastard: Even after he saves her life, Futaba ''still'' wants to shoot Joker, because his name is [[spoiler:[=HaremF**ker249=]]].
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Naoto apparently has the ability to shapeshift into Yusuke. The extent of this power is unknown for now.]]
* YouAreGrounded: [[spoiler:Sojiro grounds Futaba at the end of "Futaba Gets A Toaster".]]

That description doesn't really do the series justice, though. What it ''actually'' is is a StylisticSuck WidgetSeries fueled by memes, [[{{Flanderization}} flanderizations]] of the characters, and the weirdest take on the power of Personas yet, loosely connected by the above-mentioned plot. Hilarity, action, and (rarely) drama ensue.
