Fans were eager to see the Phantom Thieves back in action and their wishes were granted with Persona 5 Strikers<\/a><\/em>! This amalgamation of\u00a0Dynasty Warriors<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Persona<\/a><\/em>\u00a0mechanics has left fans with countless hours of entertainment and a brand new story to watch unfold.<\/p>\n

It may come as no surprise with a group as mysterious as the Phantom Thieves that the very characters themselves might hold mysteries most fans wouldn’t know. It can take a bit of effort (and maybe stealing a heart or two<\/a>) but those who are determined to do so can unlock all of their secrets.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Morgana: Was Based On Their Designer’s Favorite TV Show<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Shigenori Soejima is well known for his character designs in the Persona<\/em> series especially for his previous mascot designs<\/a> like\u00a0Aigis\u00a0and\u00a0Teddie. He took particular inspiration for designing Morganna from one of his favorite animes,\u00a0Perman<\/i>. He wanted to make Morgana’s mask look like those designed by mangaka\u00a0Fujiko F. Fujio for his characters in the series.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Yusuke: His Connection To Chrom From Fire Emblem<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Could Yusuke and Chrom be long-lost twins? They both have blue hair and they both use swords as their main weapon of attack. Not to mention the fact that Tomokazu Sugita and Mathew Mercer<\/a> voice both characters in Japanese and English respectively. Chrom is even used as a stand-in for Yusuke in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/em> during his Spirit battle.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Sophia: The Meaning Of Her Name Has Hidden Depth<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s easy to write off Sophia’s name as a cute pun\u00a0\u2014 Sophia, software, it’s close right? This isn’t actually the case. Her name is almost downright a spoiler for the game to anyone that knows about Gnosticism<\/a>. According to certain Gnostic traditions, a demon named Sophia is the god that created the Demiurge.<\/p>\n

Those who have played the game may realize that the AI’s creator, Kuon Ichinose, is eventually responsible for summoning the Demiurge in Persona 5 Strikers<\/em>. It’s an utterly fascinating touch that would simply go over many players’ heads.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Futaba: She Was Originally Going To Be Goth<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s hard to believe everyone’s favorite shut-in<\/a> was originally planned to be a serious goth! Her original design featured her with black hair, a black jacket with a skull on it, and a black-and-white striped shirt. In the end,\u00a0Shigenori Soejima decided\u00a0it would be too cliche to design a suicidal character with a goth look, and changed her design to the one fans know and love today.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Haru:\u00a0Her Connection To Sword Art Online<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It may be hard to believe, but Haru was once featured in Sword Art Online<\/a><\/em>! Sort of at least. As Haruka Tomatsu voices both Asuna and Haru, they decided to dress up Asuna in a full cosplay of the Persona character as part of the\u00a0Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag<\/i>\u00a0collaboration. Seeing the characters of Persona brought to life in this mobile RPG game was an unexpected twist but one many fans enjoyed.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Ryuji: His Shoes Were Censored In International Releases<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It might sound like such a specific case of censorship<\/a>, but it makes far more sense in context. When Ryuji is in his civilian clothes, his shoes have the Rising Sun flag on them. This symbol is extremely controversial in Chinese and Korea due to Japan’s actions in those nations during World War II.<\/p>\n

Atlus<\/a> did make sure to remove the symbol once the issue was brought to them. They even went so far as to remove it entirely for all versions of his Spirit art in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Zenkichi: He’s The Oldest Playable Character In The Series<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

During some dialogue in\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers<\/em>, Zenkichi claims that he is forty years old. That would make him the oldest playable character in the entire Persona series, taking the title from Maya Amano who was twenty-three.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers: 10 Things You Didn\u2019t Know About Zenkichi Hasegawa<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s actually possible to pin down Zenkichi’s birthday even further. While the calendar in Person 5 says it’s the year 20xx, many fans have noticed the calendar matches up to the ones used in 2016. As his birthday is listed as October 1st, this would mean Zenkichi\u00a0was born on October 1, 1976.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Ann: Received A Symphonic Birthday Gift In Real Life<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Seriously, Morgana has such a crush on Ann<\/a> that it bled out into the real world! At the request of Morgana, Lyn Imaizumi, the vocalist for Persona 5<\/em>, collaborated with Game Symphony Japan to create a special rendition of the Happy Birthday song just for Ann. This special song is still available on Youtube<\/a> for those who want to see it and wish Ann a happy birthday (it’s on November 12th).<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Makoto: The Significance Of Her Summer Uniform<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s easy to miss the B and J embroidered onto Makoto’s summer uniform but they actually have a far deeper significance. Not only did a large B and J appear on the breasts of a major boss in Persona 3<\/a>, but there was a reason why.<\/p>\n

The Megami Tensei<\/em> series in general has always referenced spiritual lore for parts of their games. In this case, the B and J stand for Boaz and Jachin which were two pillars found in Jerusalem at the mouth of Solomon’s Temple.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Joker: His Original Persona Wasn’t\u00a0Ars\u00e8ne<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Joker’s Persona is so iconic to his look that it’s incredibly difficult to imagine a world where the duo wasn’t together. Still, this was almost the case. In an episode of the talk-variety program Persona Stalker Club V<\/em>, it was revealed that Joker was meant to be paired with\u00a0Mephistopheles. The developers only later decided to switch to\u00a0Ars\u00e8ne<\/a> as they thought it fit better with the overall theme of the game and we can’t help but agree with that choice.<\/p>\n
