The Hope Arcana (希望, Kibou)? is an Arcana appearing in Persona 5 Strikers.
Overview[]
Like the Faith Arcana, the Hope Arcana is not found in standard Tarot decks. The Hope Arcana is present in the Visconti-Sforza Tarot deck. While upright, it represents hope, optimism and positivity. On the other hand, reversed, it can represent despair, false hope, negativity and pessimism.

Persona 5 Strikers[]
The Hope Arcana is represented by Sophia upon her awakening in the Jail of the Abyss.
When Sophia defies Kuon Ichinose's ideology of humanity because that was just a misguided coping attempt against Sophia's words, it results in her awakening to the Hope Arcana, enabling Pithos' transformation into Pandora.

Trivia[]
- Together with the Apostle Arcana, it is the first Arcana to debut in a spin-off game.
- In the Visconti deck, Hope is not numbered, unlike most Arcanas in the Persona series. It shares this trait with Faith, another theological virtue within the same deck.
