B-but... mine is Futsunushi 🥺
Arséne and Satanael
You mean Samael?
Come MARA!!
Imagine if smt series was as popular as pokemon during the satanic panic
I couldn’t imagine…
What if...
Shhhh, it's our little secret from the Boomers lol.
LOL
It's always fun to describe smt as "what parents in the 90s thought pokemon was"
I love that thanatos has basically become Elizabeth’s persona, and messiah is minato’s. The duality is top notch. She uses the personification of death to try to save him, he uses the personification of salvation in order to give up himself.
ermm i think you mean makoto seeing as how thats his name in p4 dancing, and the movies🤓
Yeah protag’s ultimates are actually Telos and Messiah as shown by Q2
I've always thought the angelic look of Helel was pretty cool. The horns and the wings and the sick elegance of it all is really cool. It helps that morning star is also just a cool move. The idea of having the fallen angel before he actually fell is really sick as well.
I agree, prolly one of my favourite Persona ideas.
My favorite Persona is probably Arsene. Basic I know but look at it
Also for Carmen i believed she worked in a Cigar factory
Someone told me he looks like a hazbin hotel character and i never seen him the same way ever again
@YuriCcrt34 oh my god
14:49 I believe you were thinking Femme Fatale. It was referenced in Persona5’s in game quiz. It has been a while. I really like Milady’s design as well as Arsene, Carmen but I also liked Raoul and Santanel.
You mean Satanael? Yeah, I'd have to agree.
Thanatos and Izanagi (+ his variants like Magatsu-Izanagi and Izanagi-no-Okami) are my personal favorites, honestly peak persona designs
I remember in p5 strikers I had a fusion accident near the end of the game that fused the strongest mothman I had ever seen that carried me throughout the final segments, it was the funniest shit and mothman has been my favorite persona ever since
As someone who is quite new to the persona series, only playing P5r, PQ2 and P3 reload, MOTHMAN is the best persona hands down.
His design is great, but in SMT he has some HILARIOUS negotiations too
@@jabberwockthelemur2961"If it isn't the dumbass with too many friends!"
Favorite has to be Loki from Persona 5. The zebra coloring and crazy eyes make him look terrifying. Close 2nd is Castor cause that big ass gun on his chest is all kinds of ridiculous lol.
I always thought it was a gun too, but I was taking a closer look at it in Reload and it's actually just a big arrow piercing his chest. True to Castor's lore but also funnily on the nose for being Shinji's persona lol
First time my sister and I were playing P3, up easy past our teenage bedtimes, getting those fusions in.
Fuse Mara for the first time.
Dead silence.
..... Is that..... What I think it is?
Mom enters living room
Why are you two still up?
AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
good times
The bald Zeus actually made me burst out laughing lmaooo
Izanagi has to be my favorite. To the actual mythology of him to the themes of P4, he struck a chord with me, so much that I actually have a tattoo of him on my left arm!
Right he’s just so cool!
Black Frost and Messiah are pretty cool guys.
What about Alice
@@unicorntomboy9736Alice is awesome
@@Ronin-kk4bt I love that it's the dark version of Alice, a demon who kills children and sends them to the underworld, according to the persona bio
Trismegistus, Sandalphon and Asterius are probably my favorite.
Sandalphon is my favourite too!
I'm more of a Girimekhala kinda guy when it comes to repel physical demons, but Arahabaki and Rangda are pretty cool too :p
Out of Persona characters, I think Izanagi is still the GOAT though.
That one [FRIEND] that reflects phys
Carmen is one of my favorites too. I adore the multitude of elements used to convey her character. The infatuated little men she literally steps on, the rose theme of her dress and leash, the cigar she actually smokes in the opera and serves as a thematic basis for her fire magic...
The panther design might seem out of place, but I suppose it's there to further characterize her as a beautiful but DEADLY creature, a graceful and soft-footed predator. And, well... masks are often sexy, and her face might have looked barren compared to her otherwise quite busy design otherwise.
Masks also imply, well, deception. Only her chest is mostly bare, because that's where she wants your eyes to go. Her face, her real emotions, her humanity? She wants them hidden, she wants them under control.
Each day we're a step closer of Johne playing the first Persona duology
Thanatos is so modern and stylized you'd think it'd be unfitting, but it fits so perfectly. In my opinion that is the epitome of what makes this entire franchise unique. I know they aren't persona, don't care, SMT 4 Dullahan is by far my favorite. A warrior carrying her head clad in fantasy armor with a toy peg for a neck is just *everything* it needs to be. Zeus and Anahita from Strange journey are also great. As for actual Persona games, its easy to see why Satan is Nyarly's favorite design in the series. For a character that "well-known," that design absolutely delivers.
I've always been partial to vishnu. Maybe just because he's a great late game healer, but I've beaten P3, Nocturne, and SMT 4 with him. P3 especially is was spamming infinity at like level 84 with all my somas and precious eggs when moonless gown started for safety. It only paid off once, but there was a turn when I set my team to attack when I knew moonless gown would run out, I acted first, then Nyx acts and lowers moonless gown, and they immediately put it back up their next action.
Johne being a stand-up guy. I like the design of Konohana Sakuya's design myself.
Ain’t that the fella with an inconsistent relationship with physical!?!
Trismegistus is one of my favorites because of the scene. You know the scene.
Agreed, even if I can't pronounce Trismegistus, I still love it since not only is it's design amazing, but it's also the first time someone other than the protagonist fusing two personas into one.
I can’t choose one so my favorites in no order are Chernobog, Shiki Ouji, Castor and Caesar. This series really has some fantastic designs!
Hope everyone's doing well today
Hope you too are doing well today Christopher
I'm doing quite well myself thank you!
@@Arcticanine I'm doing great
@@christopherarenas1115 Wonderful to know!
Hot take, I love tsukiyomi. Not only is it sho minazuki’s persona, one of me favorite characters in all of fiction. But it just looks so cool. The original design for the wider smt series makes him look like a wizard.
Man I really didn't see that segway into the sponser. I can't stop laughing 😂😂
I love Metatron design the most plus his moves are almost always good plus his fight in nocturne was awesome
My favorite is Norn, just so cool that it’s a big intricate clock and that you fuse the Greek sisters of fate to form the Nordic sisters of fate.
Also messiah and Orpheus for all of it’s symbolism in the design, fusion recipe and the story
Fun fact:
Spoilers for persona 3
Theia, the asteroid that theoretically crashed into earth and became the moon, who in this series is a canon event and was the cosmic horror Nyx. It has also been called Orpheus
My favorite personas are Trumpeter and Black Frost
I love Black Frost too, as well as Alice
My favorites, in no particular order:
-Power
-Sandalphon
-Sraosha
-Odin (SMT IV design, reminds me of a superhero)
-Cu Chulainn
Atlus is really good at making interesting and unique designs.
Then there's Mara.
I was wondering if I was going to see anyone mention Mara. He's one of my faves aside from Alice.
edit: I should probably clarify that he's one of my favourites purely based off of how shocked I was when I first encountered him lmao.
@@kayaws26 I just like Mara based off of the absolute randomness of it just suddenly appearing, but God does his design always make me recoil and go "Uh, yeah, no, I'm just going to fuse this and than send it back to the pits of hell where it belongs." if I'm filling out the compendium.
Going through Tartarus atm Johne, gonna watch this while going up the tower 😤
Johne, you’re awesome
its in his name
@@maybe_minty_fresh what a coincidence 😳
Always got a soft spot for Phys Personas. Rakshasa and Flauros come to mind. My fondest memory of P3 Portable was me fusing a stacked Thor with Arms Master and felt like a total monster as FeMC mowing through floor after floor with Turn 1 Deathbounds. Since then I've always seen Thor as my FeMC's "official" Persona.
Samael in P3P became my first mainstay Persona once I fused him in the July arc and got access to the antique store’s stat buff cards. That cute snake dragon demon was a full 99 going into the Nyx fight. Also special shoutouts to Isis in P4 and P5, P4 Yurlunger, Kaguya my beloved, and P3P Siegfried for one shotting Strega TWICE. Also gotta give even more special shoutouts to the Jack family and Pixie.
Me spaming Thunder reign with 100% shock on P3 to get 3 AoA in single turn. Thanks Hidetoshi :)
thanatos looks like a chainsaw man antagonist and that's a high tier compliment
Mara.😐 My favorite is Mara.
What level is your Mara?
Ngl, Mara's a real dickhead.
Hell yeah xD!
It really resonated with me when he said “Vanilla Unicorn.” Thank you so much for this Johne, I’ll remember those words for the rest of my life.
When i saw the unicorn in Persona, i thought that it was going to be light/ blessed because of the mythology of being pure heart to see it
Boy, i was wrong about it because it turns out it was nuclear
i think captain kidd is underrated, freakin love that guy. same with jiraiya
i love these videos johne
My favorite has to be Asterius and Tsukuyomi because I like it's design. Plus. the dialogue sometimes makes it seem like Joker is going insane.
For demon-Persona, I'd have to say Scathach, and not even because of the design or how she's implemented in either SMT or Persona, but because the first time I ever came across the character Scathach was from a book series I read a few years ago called The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, where she was a badass Scottish fighter that I really grew fond of while reading the books. Then, when I first started playing Megaten games (SMT4) I came across her and got so happy. As for exclusively Persona, I'd have to say Izanagi. It just has such a badass design and I've always liked lightning elemental stuff.
In terms of aesthetics, Kin-ki, Fuu-ki, and Ongyo-ki are some of my favorites. They've always stuck with me ever since I first saw them.
Me personally, rakshasa. I was playing reload for the first time and i got a fusion bonus because at the time (think it was right around before fuukas awakening) i had a super high level with yuko. This demon of a persona at level 30 probably had around 39 strength and it only got higher and higher. I used this monster with getsu ei and this thing would somehow always crit at the best times, do stupid damage to bosses and i only ever got rid of it right before i fought nyx because i got asura who maxed out like two levels after i unlocked him
You’ve just given me a new fear of seeing Thanatos without his mask.
Apollo from P2 is one of my favorite designs. Joker-Nyarlathotep also from P2 is also underrated. Nyarlathotep in general has a great design in P2, especially his moon howler form. It sucks that they always use his more simplistic SMT2 appearance in all his other outings. I know there’s technically a lore reason for it, but it still sucks that it’s only in P2 and nowhere else.
Arsene, Apollo, Nemesis, and Take-Mikazuchi are some of my personal faves
My fav Persona/demon would be Sameal aka crazy flying snake dragon thing who's named after an angel. Also Izanagi for obvious reasons. Yes I did complete P4G w/ a maxed out Izanagi, why do you ask. There's also Yoshimitsu and Alice, there's not a playthrough I've done (where they're available) where I haven't used them
I wouldn't say that Samael is based off an Angel (I suppose that depends on one's beliefs) but he is called the Angel of Death. Yeah, Samael is definitely one of my favourite "Evil" Persona designs.
@Arcticanine Oh I know, that's why I put "named after". I like the idea of the more biblically accurate angel w/ they're maddening features. Nothing wrong w/ angel as a title though, gives a designer more liberty for interesting designs/concepts, case in point, Samael
Satanael comes to mind when it comes to a cool persona design, and I haven’t even played P5 yet.
my favorite persona is Asterius, imo its just a banger design
I really like Ariadne, because I really like Labrys. Angel's cool too, and Attis. Those are some of my personal favourites. The A Squad.
Shiki-Ouji got me through a decent chunk of P5, and I just think he’s swell. Another easy-to-animate one, too.
Johne you not allowed to continue to have incredibly good takes! You can’t keep doing this! 😂
My personal favorite is Abbadon. It draining Physical moves can't be understated in how useful it is. That Yoshitsune shadow in third semester Mementos? Trivial with Abbadon providing a nice heal from Hassou Tabi
My favorite is Magatsu Izanagi, has a cool design, like the concept of corrupted Personas and has nice unique abilities.
I love trismegistus because the design is nice and I love how Junpei fuses two Personas himself
Shiva is definitely up there. The Koromaru version of Cerberus is pretty slick. Alice is a classic choice. Mot is funny because my first exposure was in OG P5, where an Egyptian coffin was taunting me with "Come get me, clown shoes!" It was made even funnier when I found out how absolutely broken he is as a boss in Nocturne.
Damn johne got sponsored atlus nice
Raoul is just so cool in every aspect of his design. hit batman-like mechanical wings, his cool spikey boots, the colours, the jacket, the fact that hes just better arsene and so has the same shadowy face because he was a theif but was still recognisable.
I would definetly have been one of his many lovers, 10/10 design
Thanks for sharing, my favourite demon is soul-eating bird Hresvelgr, but since he was never part of Persona and only SMT, I had to choose Chernobog, he is one of the coolest mushrooman ever. As for characters personas, definitely Rhadamanthus and his ultie - Hades, both are top tier, and Eikichi is quite fun character.
Ik these are pretty basic picks for the most part, but my favorites are definitely Arsene, Jiraiya, Izanagi, Magatsu Izanagi and Thanatos
I want that jack frost plush
The ad didn’t work on me…cause I’m already gonna buy it xd
Oh my goodness the persona guy talking about personas in the series of persona
I like Skadi’s design a lot. It threw me off initially, I wasn’t expecting the Norse goddess of mountains, hunting and winter to look like that.
thank you for sharing your opinion i enjoy seeing other perspectives
Zaou Gongen is one of my personal favorites dude look like a fusion of Spawn and Super Saiyan Blue Goku
My favorite Persona has to be Jiraiya from Persona 4, because it has two of my favorite hero themes: scarves and animal based.
my fav persona is Mothman. w vid Johne
Hastur from Eternal Punishment is my favorite. Getting him is fucking bizarre and using him to talk to Byahkee is such an out there thing I love so much.
Bro mentions the (in his opinion) best persona designs and doesn’t give a spotlight to toilet boy himself Belphegor… for shame Johne 😂
I'm not sure why, but one of my favorite demons/persona is Yamata-No-Orochi. Maybe it's the skills (Swift Strike, Dekaja, Auto-Rakukaja), or perhaps it's the hydra-like design. My first experience with Persona was P3Portable on the FemC route, and the Moon Social Link having this guy as a payoff felt very satisfying
i like Arahabaki not only but also because if you rearrange syllables you get Akihabara
if we're talking character-specific Persona designs, my faves would be Cendrillon, Johanna (she's metal af and i feel a strong connection to her vibes) and P4 Sukuna-Hikona. but i must say almost all P3 Persona designs are astounding, it's hard to pick one!
also [slight P4G ending spoilers ahead] i _loved_ the way Izanagi-no-Okami made me feel when i used him in P5R! the pulsing blasts animation on Myriad Truths and the cool circular sword design and Joker shouting "By the Myriad Truths!" and "All will be revealed!", as if he felt that cognitive echo of his chad brother in Wild Card and fully understood the meaning behind the power Yu lent to him, repurposing it to knock sense into humans. ahhh!
if we're talking common Persona/demon designs, i like P5 Isis a lot (look at her, girl got drip, she rocks those golden feathers like a kweeeen, one wave of a hand in battle and the enemy is quite literally blown away) and Scathach (absolute girlboss, also metal af). Trumpeter also cool
Johne: Do you really know any highschooler with a motorcycle?
Me: yeah, who really rides a motorcycle in school.
Also me been riding motorcycles sicne i was 15
I always had a soft spot for navigator personas because I love seeing how they interact with their persona users, but Necronomicon is probably my favorite along with Helel, Satan, Mother Harlot and Loki (P5)
Carmen worked in a cigarette factory in the original opra, but cigars look cooler.
Alice and jackfrost are my absolute favorites both smt and persona.
Johneawesome 2024: They were nothing but a means to end. They were stepping stones
Excluding party members yoshintsune will always be my favorite
I like melchizedek. Yamata-no-Orochi is also cool, though moreso gameplay-wise.
Other than that, asterius is insane,.and metatron has such a slick design that kinda highlights the themes of the order faction so well.
When it comes to party members, I love Gorokichi and Take-Mikazuchi.
That one persona that sits on a litteral toilet seems fun. Every time he attacks, i make a fart sound.
Belphegor? It's a pretty funny design since he represents sloth/laziness.
It’s a split between Alice and Scathach. They’re by far my two endgame personas/demons. Whatever game they’re in, they’ve been some of the most reliable for me
A personal favorite of mine is Seth, because when I first encountered him in P5, I saw that he could deal gun damage, and I immediately imagined him just pulling out a glock with his little feet and shooting people in the fucking face.
I may be one of the only Ose fans to publicly say it but I've sworn to make him the single greatest Persona/Demon whenever I'm able to make him in the games because of how he hauled ASS in my persona 4 golden run. They've felled the gods of persona 3 reload (and portable), 4g and 5R and each iteration was strongee than the previous. Currently working my way through three nocturne and I will not faulter my devotiom to this fucking president of hell.
I always have him and a jack bro on hand without fail
Just fused Arahabaki in P3R, and that guy really do reflect ALL physical after leveling up.
Arsène was part of the reason I fell in love with Persona and the series, Atlus really just had a perfect design with him. Only to then be dropped to second place because man Raoul has a near perfect design in my eyes. I just wish that we could've had Arsène evolve into Raoul in vanilla and/or royal
My favorite persona is JohneAwesome's playthrough of persona 3 reload
Hydra and Nuwa.
Hydra never looked so sleek and so ancient. His colorscheme resembles that of greek pottery instead of a snake. His head also has spikes underneath his jaw. Which subjectively looks amazing and outside the box. Idk who thought of that but they KNEW it was gonna be different.
Nuwa. Looks Great. Idk what to say. I don't know why I like her so much. Nuwa's subtleties just make me like her.
Subtleties? That's a funny way of saying legs
My favorite persona is Io. Love her design and it does a great job at representing her story!
My favorite Personas are Yoshitsune, Alice and Black Frost (the latter one being the absolute favorite)
I love how it's the dark version of Alice too
Awesome, your John! ❤️🤤
I have soo many favorites. But I think my top 5 are Captain kid, Mithras, Narcissus, Asura, and Shiva.
I don't know why but necronomicon is one of my favorites
does anyone know the song that’s playing in 13:17
I think the one Persona I always make sure to fuse in Persona 3 has to be Odin. Dude was mad clutch my first time playing the game and ever since then I always had him in my party.
But overall, I'd say Helel is my favorite Persona/Demon period.
Johne what are you yapping on about???
(Great video)
Hermes and nemesis are super cool to me... i also just love their users :)
Astarte is definitely one of my favourite persona in the series
