Illustration of the World Arcana in Persona 3
The World Arcana (世界, Sekai) is a powerful arcana in the Persona series.
Overview
It often appears as the final triumph arcana, creating miracles and aiding the protagonists. Portrayed as a young woman (or hermaphrodite, depending on deck) surrounded by figures of an angel, a bull, an eagle, and a lion (representations of the four elements in transcendent form, as well as the symbols of the four Evangelists Luke, Matthew, John, and Mark respectively), The World Arcana is a representation of the world's totality, the symbol of fulfillment, wholeness, and harmony.
The World Arcana is commonly associated with Social Links, where its power is based upon the protagonist's bonds with others.

List of Personas
Megami Ibunroku Persona
The player can guarantee a fusion accident resulting in a Fool Arcana persona by starting from a "hard reset" (as in, not already mid-game and loading a save or selecting "Return to Title") and performing a White Fusion after taking exactly 216 steps in an area where no enemies will attack, such as the Mikage Sun Mall.

Persona 3
The sole owner of The World Arcana in Persona 3 is Elizabeth, Igor's assistant in the Velvet Room and the game's optional boss. While it is often thought that the protagonist's final Arcana is The World, it has been explicitly stated to be The Universe Arcana (the same card in a separate deck) by the game itself.
Persona 4
The protagonist of Persona 4 can gain access to a Persona of The World Arcana in the events of the True Ending route, Izanagi-no-Okami. Through the bonds of the others, the World Arcana channels its powers to the protagonist' initial Persona, Izanagi, and transforms him into Izanagi-no-Okami.
