Reverse Persona

Reverse Personas are the negative form of the original Personas, usually depicted in different color scheme and are used by the boss characters in the battle. The concept exists exclusively in the Persona 2 duology but is implied in Persona 3 FES and Persona 4.

Appearances

 * Persona 2: Innocent Sin
 * Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
 * Persona 3 FES
 * Persona 4

Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Reverse Personas in this game can be divided into to 2 category, one is used by the members of the Masked Circle, they are:
 * Reverse Rhadamanthus by Hiroki Sugimoto
 * Reverse Shax by Yasuo Inoe
 * Reverse Eros by Ginji Sasaki
 * Reverse Parica by Ixquic
 * Reverse Vulcanus by Tatsuya Sudou
 * Reverse Aeshma by Anna Yoshizaka

Presumably Youichi Makimura possessed a Reverse Persona as well but the actual Persona he uses is never shown on-screen. Likewise, Junko Kurosu, being one of the Masked Circle executives, presumably has one as well, though her persona is never shown.

The other group of the Reverse Personas are used by the Shadow Selves of the party members:
 * Reverse Maia by Shadow Maya
 * Reverse Durga by Shadow Yukino
 * Reverse Apollo by Shadow Tatsuya
 * Reverse Venus by Shadow Ginko
 * Reverse Hades by Shadow Eikichi

It can be theorized that Jun Kurosu's Persona when assuming his Joker identity, Joker-Nyarlathotep, is his Reverse Persona. This is supported by fact that all Reverse Personas and Shadow Selves are creations of the shadow of humanity, in other word, Nyarlathotep itself.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Reverse Personas are used by the Shadow Selves of the party members in the final dungeon:
 * Reverse Artemis by Shadow Maya (Also the one in the Extra Dungeon)
 * Reverse Asteria by Shadow Ulala
 * Reverse Hyperion by Shadow Katsuya
 * Reverse Prometheus by Shadow Baofu

The golden Venus, Hades and Chronos appear in Torifune are not officially Reverse Personas but these alternate Personas used by the Metal Trio possess the same ultimate skills as their Reverse counterparts rather than the original due to the fact that the trio is the given form of Tatsuya Suou's guilt.

Persona 3 FES
Similar to the golden Personas appear in Eternal Punishment, the golden Personas used by the shadow protagonist (named "???") in the Answer mode follow a similar trait that the shadow entity is in fact the given form of the party members' regret for his death.

Persona 4
Magatsu Izanagi to some degree is the Reverse counterpart of Izanagi himself, as "Magatsu" denotes negative properties.
