"“I am a shadow… the true self… I am a machine. It is good to complete my duties, it is my purpose. Even if I acquire a human heart, my body is still mechanical…!”"
—Arche-Palladion speaking to Aigis
Arche-Palladion (アルゲー・パラディオン, Arugē-Paradion) is a boss in Persona 3 Em and the Arche form of Aigis's initial Persona Palladion.
Appearances[]
- Persona 3 Em: Boss
Design[]
Arche-Penthesilea appears in battle without a Persona User, and takes the form of Palladion.
Meaning[]
The Arche persona symbolizes a part of a person that they do not fully understand and that is difficult for them to accept, similar to the function of shadows in Persona 4.
For Aigis, Arche-Palladion comprises her dread at being only a machine and her belief that it is impossible for her to become human and that she should instead resign herself to being a machine.
