"Do you finally see the truth? Do you know the true face of the guilty? They condemn the good to slavery. Pretend they do not see their agony. ...Just as you once did. But another story must begin. Now, show your gaolers that you will wear a different chain. I am thou, thou art I... If you yet seek true justice, we will see it done!"
—Valjean, Persona 5 Strikers

Valjean is a Persona in Persona 5 Strikers.

History[]

Jean Valjean is the main protagonist of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel Les Misérables. Valjean's story depicts his struggles to live a good life in God's name following a prison sentence for stealing bread for his destitute family. His efforts lead to him taking several aliases, and focuses on his care for the dying Fantine and then her daughter Cosette.

Both in the original novel and its adaptations, Valjean is shown in a mostly-positive light, often displaying compassion and selflessness while being capable of cunning and jealousy. His humanity puts him in stark contrast with Inspector Javert, who represents the law but acts as one of the story's main antagonists.

Persona 5 Strikers[]

Persona 5 Strikers background

Valjean is Zenkichi Hasegawa's Persona. It uses Physical/Gun and Almighty skills.

Valjean has two innate abilities that it lets Zenkichi use:

  • Fury Mode, a rage state activated by Strong I input that greatly increases Zenkichi's attack, but damages him slightly when using strong attacks.
    • The Wolf's Fury Master Arts adds Almighty magic affinity to his attacks, while Wolf's Howl reduces Fury Mode damage and increases chances of inflicting critical hits.
  • A passive draining ability that allows Zenkichi to recover HP by dealing damage to enemies with Zenkichi's weapons, allowing a way to heal from Fury Mode without resorting to using healing skills/items.
    • The Master of the Hunt Master Art improves the draining ability when not in Fury Mode.

Trivia[]

  • The number printed on Valjean is "24601," Jean Valjean's prison number in Les Misérables.
  • Valjean's awakening speech references lines sung by Jean Valjean in the Les Misérables musical, such as "Can I condemn another man to slavery?\Pretend I do not see his agony?", "Another story must begin", "I will see it done", as well as Javert's line "Monsieur le Maire, you'll wear a different chain."
  • The backs of Valjean's coattails have a silver candle pattern, referencing the silver candlesticks given to Jean Valjean as a gift from the bishop that set him on the path of virtue, to which Jean Valjean eventually passes away under the light of.
  • Valjean is the only non-protagonist Persona in the entire Persona series to learn Enduring Soul.
  • Valjean is unique to all party member Personas in franchise history in that while he will be Level 40 at minimum, when Zenkichi awakens to Valjean, his level will match up with the protagonist's level (e.g., if Joker is Lv. 52, Zenkichi/Valjean will also be at Lv. 52).
