World-0

The World Arcana (世界, Sekai)? is a powerful Arcana in the Persona series.

Overview[]

"The final card is The World, which represents the individual's full awareness and place in the world."

It often appears as the final triumph arcana, creating miracles and aiding the protagonists. Portrayed as a young woman (or an androgyne, depending on deck) surrounded by figures of an angel, a bull, an eagle and a lion (representations of the four elements in transcendent form, as well as the symbols of the four Evangelists (Luke, Matthew, John and Mark respectively), The World Arcana is a representation of the world's totality, the symbol of fulfillment, wholeness and harmony.

The World Arcana is commonly associated with Social Links, where its power is based upon the protagonists' bonds with others. Ultimately, the World Arcana is the final stop of the protagonist's journey, and it reflects their understanding of their place in the world.

Trivia[]

  • The male and female protagonist of Persona 3 does not get the World Arcana at the end of the game. Instead, they get the Universe Arcana to help them perform the Great Seal against Nyx. It was originally seen as an empty tarot card. But in Persona 3 The Movie and Persona 3 Reload, its card design now resembles that of the World Arcana from Persona 4.
  • Unused game files in Persona 5 indicate that the World Arcana was planned to be a fully functional confidant in the game, but this was scrapped in the final release. It allows free stat adjusting of Personas of the Arcana, and was intended to be capable of being doubted (reversed) or broken. If it is doubted or broken, it will prevent the protagonist from adjusting the stats of World Arcana Personas.
