The Judgement Arcana (審判, Shinpan)? is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
Overview
The Judgement Arcana, in tarot, is associated with realizing one's calling, gaining a deep understanding of life and a feeling of acceptance and absolution.
In gameplay, the Judgement Arcana is commonly associated with a balance of Light and Darkness. Figures of the Judgement Arcana are usually related to Judgement Day myths or are gods tied directly to the judgement of humankind.
Characters of the Judgement Arcana are well-aware, quite intelligent and view the world with infinite possibilities. Most powerful when combining their intuition with their smarts, their thought process is among the most vast and realistic.
It is often associated with reborn organizations of Persona users that were being given new objectives or other characters associated with turning points of the game.
Although the traditional British spelling of "judgement" is considered less common than the American spelling of "judgment" today, "Judgement" (capitalized as a proper name) is exclusively applied while referencing the tarot arcana.

Persona 3
The protagonist gains access to the Judgement Arcana near the end of the game, and it symbolizes the protagonist’s actions and decisions through an awareness of himself and others. Personas of the Judgement Arcana are demons associated with the Law alignment.
In Persona 3, the Judgement Arcana starts should the protagonist choose not to kill Ryoji Mochizuki, thus ending the Fool Social Link represented by SEES and allowing the newly formed Nyx Anihilation Team the opportunity to confront Nyx at the promised place on January 31st.
The Judgement Arcana increases as the protagonist ascends the final block of Tartarus, Adamah. Upon completing the Social Link, the protagonist gains access to the ultimate form of the Judgement Arcana, Messiah, "the savior." Messiah is fused using Orpheus and Thanatos. It can also be obtained from Shuffle Time in the top level of Tartarus.

The Judgement Arcana Social Link is represented by the Seekers of Truth, in which the Social Link can only be forged should the protagonist make the correct decisions on December 3rd, unlocking the Normal Ending instead of triggering the Bad Ending. The Judgement Arcana powers up when the Fool Arcana is maxed, therefore the Seekers slowly find out the true culprit of the murder cases within the Midnight Channel, and at one point, the protagonist is supposed to deduce the true culprit.

Trivia
- Much like the Fool Arcana, in Persona 5 the Judgement Arcana is the first one since Persona 3 not to be represented by the main group of Persona users in the game, but instead by a standalone character, in this case being Sae Niijima, who also represents a turning point of the game. Unlike the other cases where the Social Link starts during the turning point, the confidant with Sae is completed after the turning point of Persona 5.
