    【ペルソナ】ぐるりアルカナ一巡り

    異聞録～P3Pまでのすべてのペルソナ使いをアルカナ順に並べてみた。重いですスミマセン。全員…たぶん全員いるとは思いますが、万一漏れがあったら脳内補完でよろしく。なお『節制』のペルソナ使いが欠番だったのでアニメの神郷兄弟をご招待。小アルカナはイメージです。人修羅は公式模写、ＳＪに至ってはほぼトレス。下のタロット解釈はWikipedia等で調べた中からそれっぽいのを適当に選んでいるので実際の解釈とは異なる可能性もあります（上が正位置、下が逆位置）。しかしこうしてみるとやっぱり同じアルカナ同士は何となく似ている気がしますね。異聞録のキャラが学生だったり社会人だったりポーズがマイコーだったりJOJOだったりしますが、そういえばこんなキャラもいたなあと楽しんでいただけたら幸い。【タグ】分かりにくくてスミマセン、番長の背後にいるのはお察し通りP4のAさんです。

    Is there any explanation as to why those 4 protagonists are minor arcana?

    I don't think there is one. Just that the tarot motifs belong to the Persona series, not SMT as a whole, and there were just enough Minor Arcana left to cover the Protagonists the artist chose to display (no Serph, no Aleph, no Hero, no Devil Summoner prior to Raidou...)

    That's awesome, too bad some character are missing and some other have "wrong" arcana (like aigis, she's in the aeon arcana in P3FES and P3P)

    It depends. During the Journey in FES and P3P, Aigis' persona are Chariot arcana, even though her link is Aeon.

    Shinji's in a similar situation. Castor's Hierophant... but his link is Moon in P3P.

    It's like a dual arcana or something ? I'm a little confused.

    Not necessarily. These characters with Plot vs. S.Link Arcana simply represent different types of conflict. Beyond their own issues, in the greater scope of the plot, their Persona belong to one arcanum (for instance, Aigis is Chariot, which roughly stands for power and the use thereof, and Akihiko is Emperor which is basically an immature form of dominion.) But in terms of S.Links, which are the representations of their personal conflicts and how the Protagonist sees them, they have other issues to confront --like Aigis trying to understand what makes a human "human" and Akihiko growing up from his self-perceived indomitable attitude to actually attain such attitude.

    It could be said that the Arcana the characters are listed as being in, here, are the ones that the characters' own personalities best represent. This is supported by the way their own Personae all come from the listed Arcana, as a Persona is representative of the owner's nature (except for the secondary Personae acquired by those who fit into The Fool and The World).

    The Arcana that is strengthened by S. Links to a given character does not represent the character himself, but of the main character's relationship with them. Maxing an S. Link with a character who can use a Persona doesn't make their Persona any stronger, but it does make your character's Persona(s) stronger.
