Persona 5

"The Nihonshoki sword deity who pacified Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni. His name comes from "futsu," the fashion in which things are cut, and "nushi," his nature as a god."

—Persona 5 background

Futsunushi is the ultimate Persona of the Magician Arcana and can only be obtained through fusion in the Velvet Room upon the completion of the Magician Confidant. He is the first Persona to learn Ali Dance, one of four to learn Regenerate 3, and one of two to learn both Firm Stance and Brave Blade. When itemized using Electric Chair Execution, Futsunushi produces the Brave Blade skill card.

Futsunushi is also required in order to summon Yoshitsune using an advanced fusion.

Royal

Futsunushi has gotten a bit stronger, being level 86 instead of 76 and can no longer learn Ali Dance by leveling up, being replaced by Auto-Maraku instead.

Itemizing Futsunushi produces the Hinokagutsuchi, the strongest melee weapon for Goro Akechi. It has a medium chance of inflicting burn on a target after an attack. If itemized during a fusion alarm, Futsunushi will become Hinokagutuschi II, with a high chance of inflicting burn and a slightly higher attack. However, itemizing Futsunushi is only possible while Akechi is a playable Phantom Thief, which means either play in a New Game Plus file until the story reaches Niijima's Palace once again or reach the Third Semester Arc, and deny Maruki's offer.
