i adore Maruki as a character because he's simultaneously the most relatable depressing character that will make you cry with empathy, and the goofiest wettest cat loser in the game like what do you mean youre a licensed therapist and your first response to trauma is to brainwash a girl, project ur relationship issues onto a 17 yr old boy, and then rule the world in a golden leotard? bro went from 0 to 100 so fast??? anyway he's like 30% of the reason why p5r works as well as it does

What silly individuals. Goofy even. Almost pathetic but in an endearing way. They do seem trust worthy enough. I bet they don’t make much of an impact in the third act of the game in an antagonistic way at all. We can trust them. They’re silly after all.

Aside from combat, what can a Persona do?

Use the skills/abilities/powers the Persona has without having to summon it in the physical world for purposes outside of combat (e.g. Tatsuya using Nova Kaiser to stop time without summoning Apollo / Maruki's unknown ability allows him to change people's cognition whenever he wants / Kenta's unknown ability that helped him become a successful salesman).

Make the user unconsciously adopt traits related to their main Persona's mythos (e.g. Eikichi, someone with Hades, was unexplicably attracted to Akari Torikiri, a girl who turned into Persephone / Wild Cards slightly changing their personality according to their equipped Personas).

Talk to their users (e.g. P2 users have conversations with their Personas / The PTs Personas' made deals with their users upon awakening).

Briefly turn back into a Shadow if the user loses sight of themselves or are under psychological distress (e.g. Shinjiro's fucky wucky with Ken's mother / That brief barely-canon moment in the P4 Anime when Shadow Yu manifested / Hinokagutsuchi literally said so). Good news are that its easy to turn them back.

Go berserk when an user's heart and mind are troubled (e.g. Shinjiro taking Persona suppressants for Artificial Users to keep his Persona in check / Sumire's trauma corrupted her Persona / Kenta's traumatic awakening made his Persona immediatly attack others).

Adopt the form or embody the spirit of someone very close to the user (e.g. Kei and Yamaoka / Sumire and Kasumi / Toshiro and Eri).

Gain enough power they become sentient and become separate beings (e.g. The Night Queen separated from the body after Tomomi's death, eventually surpassing Tomomi in power / Adam Kadmon was so OP he gained full control over Maruki / Erina began to act without Toshiro's knowledge). There's something about this that connects with Teddie. I'm connecting the dots.

Be passed onto people who don't have a Persona (e.g. Yukino gave her Persona abilities to Jun, with help from Philemon).

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.
