Illustration of the Hanged Man Arcana in Persona 3
The Hanged Man Arcana (刑死者, Keishisha or 吊された男, Tsurusareta Koto), often shortened to just the "Hanged", is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
Overview
"The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
In the face of disaster lies the opportunity for renewal."
Portrayed as a man hanging up-side-down from one leg, with his other leg crosses it forming a '4'; the Hanged Man Arcana is associated with self-sacrifice for the sake of enlightenment, the bindings that makes one free, paradoxes and hanging between heaven and earth.
Persona of the Hanged Man Arcana are commonly Personas excelling in survivability. Hanged Man Personas are typically mythological figures that exist between two different forces, or find themselves in transition. They are also sometimes martyr figures.
Hanged Man characters are sometimes self-sacrificial, but are more often notable for being caught between two different extremes, parties, or stages in life.
