Morgana

Aigis has no emotions but develops them.

Teddie has no self and is emotionally unstable.

Morgana loses his mind based on certain triggers.

Aigis is the most straightforward, but Teddie and Morgana's can be a little confusing since they're so specific. All of them better themselves in the end though, and overcome their issues.

Quick thing I wanted to jot down that I think would give strong context for Morgana's running away in Okumura's arc.

So for starters, one important thing to know about Morgana is that he's of a specific character archetype. He's a "pet," so he has no moral code meaning that you can't really expect anything out of him. Koromaru and Teddie are of that, and Teddie embraces it especially with how he behaves. One unique writing trope is that you can't really expect them to be "cool." I won't go in detail of how the two handle the trope, but basically Koromaru embraces it and only protects whenever necessary, while Teddie is an elaborate gut punch that builds up to something meaningful but forces you to double-down.

Exposition out of the way, Morgana's a character that seeks a moral code, or a "reason to live." At first he didn't have one and was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals: trick Ren and Ryuji, take the risk of afflicting a mental shutdown in Kamoshida, etc. Eventually Morgana would warm up to the Phantom Thieves, and it becomes a pretty prominent point past Futaba's arc during her recovery, when he becomes protective of her. You can tell Morgana's "changed."

But during their beach outing, Morgana ends up being referred to as "useless" by Ryuji, made fun of it even. That bothers Morgana: he tries to point out that Ryuji himself is unserious, but that doesn't make Morgana feel better. Rather, Morgana's upset about the idea that he's useless because it reminds him that it's not expected of him: that he can get away with it because he's a "pet." Ryuji can be criticized for exposing the Phantom Thieves for the millionth time but from Morgana, he can do whatever he wants and he'll be fine, and that bothers him.

That's the crux of the argument in September, Morgana wanted to prove he had a moral code, so he established unfitting standards on the Phantom Thieves that would clearly be detrimental under that context: they were about to act purely under the general public's desires, and the sudden influx of their fame unsettled them. It is later revealed that their fame was a trap set up by the conspiracy to frame them for murder. Under this context, what Morgana sought would completely destroy the Phantom Thieves. And again, remember that Morgana is "just a pet." He can "get away with it." And "that bothers him."

Morgana started an argument with Ryuji, accusing him of having become arrogant. Ryuji points out that Morgana is in it for himself too, but that is a reminder of Morgana's own origins: he doesn't have a purpose, and it's a reminder of just who Morgana is. So Morgana, holding himself back under his own standards, believing he doesn't belong, and he runs away because he wants to prove himself to the group.

That being said, Morgana did find purpose in the group, and that's his sense of justice. In Mementos, he decided he'd protect those he cared about, and that's the only sense of justice he needed. And rewind to Okumura's, the party encouraged him to let go of these superficial reasons and tell them how he truly feels.

That being said as a pet character Morgana has a similar style to Teddie. Not exactly a "gut punch" but leaning more towards a "what-if" than actively trying to manifest it. Like you're just left with this empty feeling after having faith in Morgana. And when you wonder about it, you try to see if it works, but it doesn't 100% "fit."

I think the pet archetype just consists of disappointments: you can call Koromaru one too, especially if you're introduced to him after all these well-rounded, intriguing characters, then he has an implied backstory, but as you try to look at him and see what makes him special, you just see a regular dog.

EDIT: I fixed the paragraph above, but I think that the mascots fulfill at least 1 of 2 roles: they leave you kinda left with just yourself after finding out your search is pointless, probably to make you realize that it's the search that mattered, something along the lines of "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way." Probably not, but the mascots exist to encourage you to find new depths in the mundane and think outside the box. No matter how many times you play, you'll see the pet characters and you'll be instantly lured to think about them having potential depth. Koromaru's for plot enthusiasts, Morgana's more user-friendly like "hey what could Morgana turn out to be?" And that way of thinking makes things interesting that the rest of the characters cannot do: they're like paintings, there is no incentive to look at them and understand them. But on second thought, yeah you'd be intrigued by the characters especially early on. And you don't need the pets' help for it.

TLDR Morgana is a disappointment by design and he doesn't like it. He's a pet to keep things interesting and keep you engaged.

doobie

PegoRyu (Ren/Akira x Ryuji) - Not really one I would ship. But before you raise your pitchforks and attack me, I mostly just see them as best friends or “brothers” since Ryuji was designed like Yosuke to the BFF to Ren.

ShuAnn (Joker x Ann) - One of my least fav ships…I mostly just see the whole Fool x Lovers thing like Makoto X Yukari thing a little too cliché even though I ship Yu with Rise (who is a Lovers Arcana user)

ShuAke (Joker x Akechi) - NO! NO! Why do you people ship Joker with the literal traitor of the whole game?!? Why do you do this?!? Why do you ship the hero with a murderer?!?!? Why???

ShuHaru (Joker x Haru) Yes! I 1000000% ship Ren and Haru. I just see them as a cute couple since they had a lot in common like their sense of justice, love for coffee, and also their Personas - Arsene and Milady - look a lot like something from the Victorian Era. Plus, Haru is my waifu soooooo…

Shutaba (Joker x Futaba) - WHY?!?!? NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!!!! I REFUSE-NO! So gross….

Shumako (Joker x Makoto) - I do ship them once in a while but I wouldn’t really ship them like crazy. Makoto is my 2nd waifu but again, I don’t ship her as much

ShuKita (Joker x Yusuke) - Why????

ShuMona? (Joker x Morgana) - Why?!? Why is this a thing?!? I do get that human Morgana exists but no!

RyuAnn (Ryuji x Ann) - One of my top 3 ships in Persona 5. Just look at them!

Ryukita (Ryuji x Yusuke) - I do get they have a Showtime together but I don’t really see any romantic connection with them

RyuHaru (Ryuji x Haru) - Uhhh…why are people shipping these two polar opposites together??? Especially when Ryuji was scared of Milady.

MakoHaru (Makoto x Haru) - Not one I would ship. I do crack a grin at some of the fanart but I wouldn’t ship them…

MakoAnn (Makoto x Ann) - I normally don’t ship them but I do once in a while like Shumako.

MakoRyu (Makoto x Ryuji) - Not really….

YuHaru (Yusuke x Haru) - *scoffs* As if…

YuTaba (Yusuke x Futaba) - Yes! I 100% ship them. Futaba just loves to call Yusuke Inari.

MakoAke (Makoto x Akechi) - I would ship them but Akechi may have eyes for a certain trickster… I do have a headcanon where Sae once tried to hook up Makoto with Akechi and they almost kiss but Sae breaks it off and send Akechi home.

HaruAke (Haru x Akechi) - I don’t really feel like shipping my waifu with a egotistical murderer who killed innocent people because of dad issues…

Joker x Twins/Lavenza - I think the FBI would be knocking on your door if you ship them…because the twins and Lavenza are small children….

ShuSumi (Joker x Sumi) - I, like Shumako, don’t normally ship them together but I do like the fanart.

4/11 is morgana day

Technically it's that day because that's when he and Joker met for the first time.

If you know, you know.

I really like the character of Akechi. He's basically the protagonist but he went down a darker path. That's the makings of any great villain. And the same rings true for him. He frames the Phantom Thieves for murder, makes them Public Enemy #1, He causes tens if not hundreds of mental shutdowns, he's just awesome as a Villain. But Morgana, Oh ho ho, I hate that little creature. HE CAN BURN IN THE FLAMES OF ETERNAL TORMENT FOR THE REST OF TIME ITSELF, LET ME TRAIN, LET ME MAKE TOOLS, LET ME GO FUSE PERSONAS AND DO STUFF, YOU ACTUAL CAT!

Is it me or is that monster really diverse in functionality.

Aside from triggering all-out attacks:

* It has increased damage on downed enemies

* It gives the user a 1-more

* It grants the option for baton pass

Not to mention the variety of strategies it opens up once it does hit;

* Make use of the 1-more and

* Attack another enemy instead by hitting its weakness

* Keep gambling with Lucky Punch in hopes of getting a streak.

* Pass the Baton to someone else

* Have them deal extra damage to the fallen enemy

* Have them strike the weakness of another enemy and Down them

* Use a multi-hit skill to kill two birds with one stone, where the Downed enemy gets extra damage, and another enemy gets downed.

* If the enemy pool is diverse, the streak may be kept going all the way to the top and shred damage.

* If not, AOA

Like seriously if you examine the technicalities, such as how you only need 1 Crit or 1 Weak for 1 more

Also Sukukaja+Rebellion on Morgana.

It's been bothering me. He sounds fine most of the time and I like his softer tone, but in combat and/or when he shows a shred of confidence, it feels...out of character. It's like I'm being lied to.

I know for a fact Morgana's innocent, so that means there's something wrong with his voice acting.

Morgana not getting any beef tongue in the restaurant made me so sad at first. Not even Joker wanted to share.

'But because of that his meowing attracts a beef tongue lady, which gets the group in trouble. Then she just sets them up like "aww this glasses-wearing gentleman is going to SHARE HIS BEEF TONGUE WITH HIS CAT." Ryuji tells her to shut up, but she responds with "oh right, then you'd get kicked out and there'd be no more beef tongue, right?" You can't tell how happy this made me. I know Morgana's sorry about this whole thing but it feels like karma in its rawest form.

Tldr Moral of the story: give your cat your beef tongue

Persona is cool and morgana's the best

I want to know about the signature colors of the Persona 5 character. What I know so far is:

Joker - Red means Death

Ryuji - Yellow mean Lightning

Ann - Pink means Fire

Yusuke - Light Blue means Ice

Haru - Purple means Psychi

But I don't know if it's right or not and I don't know about the other colors and what do they mean.

Can you help me?
