Magatsu-Izanagi



Magatsu Izanagi (マガツイザナギ, Magatsu Izanagi) is a Persona from Persona 4, used by Tohru Adachi.

Symbolism
Although Adachi doesn't seem to represent any Arcana, he actually allegorizes the reversed Fool Arcana: impulsiveness, poor judgement, obsession and frivolity. Adachi acted on impulse when he murdered Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi because they both weren't interested in him. He shows poor judgement when he underestimated the protagonist and his group during their confrontation. Additionally, he was obsessed with keeping his "cat-and-mouse" game alive. Lastly, Adachi lacked seriousness during his interactions with the Investigation Team and the protagonist's family.

Profile
Magatsu Izanagi is the Persona of Tohru Adachi, the one responsible for the murders in Inaba. It follows the form of Izanagi, as it is actually bestowed upon Adachi without Adachi's knowledge by Izanami when he first arrived in the rural town. Magatsu Izanagi takes the form of a bloody Izanagi, and its stats and skills form Adachi's battle stats.
 * Music: A New World Fool

Trivia

 * Magatsu Izanagi means 'Corrupted Izanagi'.
 * Using cheat codes, it is possible to have the protagonist equip Magatsu Izanagi as a Persona. He has his own stats, a portrait, but no moves, so one must hack in skills for him to use.
 * Despite being an alternate version of Izanagi, he makes different animations when attacking or casting spells. Izanagi looks more dignified, whilst Magatsu Izanagi makes more arrogant and threatening movements. Also, unlike Izanagi, Magatsu Izanagi wields his spear in an under-hand fashion.
