Tatsunoshin Suou is a minor character and Persona who appears in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.

History[]

Tatsunoshin Suou is a well-respected samurai during the Period of The Warring States, and vassal to the feudal warlord Kiyotada Sumaru. Disgusted by how his tyrannical lord rules the country, Tatsunoshin set out to assassinate Kiyotada with the help of his ninja servant Junnosuke Kuroda and lover Maihime Amano. Though Kiyotada was incapacitated, the move ended in tragic failure when Maihime was killed by spear.

In an act of desperation, Tatsunoshin instructs Junnosuke to set fire to Sumaru Castle and escape with his life. Tatsunoshin stayed inside the burning structure with the body of his beloved, swearing to exact his true revenge someday.

It is implied this legend is a fake spread by Nyarlathotep to mock Tatsuya Suou about his failed attempt to stop him at the Other Side and no such historical figure existed in the Persona universe.

Appearances[]

Description[]

Prior to entering Sumaru Castle, a rumor can be obtained from Akinari Kashihara regarding the existence of Tatsunoshin Suou's mummified remains. If the rumor is spread, the mummy will appear in one of the rooms of Sumaru Castle and will acknowledge Tatsuya and Katsuya as his descendants. Afterwards, Tatsunoshin Suou can be summoned as a Persona of the Sun Arcana.

With the right moves, Junnosuke Kuroda, Maihime Amano, and Tatsunoshin Suou can perform the Fusion Spell Tenchu-Satsu, which deals huge Sword damage to one foe and instantly kills Gozen.
