Judgement Arcana

Judgement Arcana is a high-level arcana in the Persona series. In gameplay, the Judgement Arcana is commonly associated with a balance of Light and Darkness.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
The Judgment Arcana is represented by Ellen Kirishima

Persona 3
In Persona 3, the Judgment Arcana Social Link can only be forged should the Protagonist decides not to kill Ryoji Mochizuki. Doing so allows SEES to be able to confront Nyx head on, where the members of SEES swore to reach the Promised Place before January 31st, the day where Nyx ascends to destroy humanity.

The Judgement Arcana powers up every time the Protagonist ventures and defeats the Guardians of the final block of Tartarus, Adamah. Upon reaching to it's highest plane, the promised place, the Judgement Arcana automatically maxes out itself, bestowing the Ultimate Persona of the Judgement Arcana, Messiah.

Persona 3: FES
The Judgement Arcana remains relatively the same as Persona 3, however, an exclusive Persona, the fallen angel Lucifer was added in the Magician Arcana repertoire. The original angelic Lucifer of the Star Arcana in Persona 3 was instead, renamed Helel.

Persona 4
The Judgment Arcana Social Link is represented by the Alliance of Truth Seekers, in which the Social Link can only be forged should the Protagonist makes the correct decisions in Dec 3rd, unlocking the Normal Ending instead of triggering the Bad Ending. The Judgement Arcana powers up as the Alliance slowly finds out the true culprit of the murder cases within the Midnight Channel, and at one point, the Protagonist is supposed to deduct the true culprit. Taking the wrong deduction three times triggers the Bad Ending.

Should the Protagonist is able to point out the real culprit, Toru Adachi, the Judgment Arcana will continue power up. The Judgment Arcana automatically maxes out once the Alliance defeats Adachi and Ameno-sagiri, and upon learning the truth, the Judgment Arcana bestows it's ultimate form, Lucifer the Rebel King of Hell.
