Picaro Persona (2024)

A Picaro Persona (賊神(ピカロ)ペルソナ, Pikaro Perusona)? is an umbrella term for a collection of Personas from previous games that once belonged to either the protagonist of their respective game, or otherwise plot-important characters such as Marie, Labrys or Sho Minazuki. They have an atypical, punkish design, described as "a Persona turned picaro after becoming the Trickster's mask."

Profile[]

The term "picaro" refers to a picaresque novel, a genre of prose fiction that depicts the adventures of a roguish but appealing hero of low social class, who lives by his own wits in a corrupt society. Its protagonists are usually sympathetic outsiders, untouched by the false rules of society.

Persona 5 / Royal[]

Compared to their original counterparts, Picaro Personas are of a higher level, have slightly superior stats, improved resistances and slightly different skills. For example, Thanatos can learn Curse Amp, while Thanatos Picaro learns Mudo Boost. In contrast to their normal variants, Picaro Personas appear more punk, which coincides with the idea of them being rebels, and certain details have been altered entirely. Their designs are also reminiscent of the Shujin Academy uniform, with lots of black and white plaid coloring, a general red and black color scheme, and the Shujin Academy emblem may appear on them.

AllPicaro Personas are crossed over from Persona 5 to Persona 5 Royal.All of the new DLC Personas besides the new Raoul which is not a returning persona (Athena, Izanagi-no-Okami and the female version of Orpheus), also have new Picaro variants.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth[]

Every Picaro persona from Persona 5 (Izanagi Picaro, Magatsu-Izanagi Picaro, Orpheus Picaro, Messiah Picaro, Thanatos Picaro, Ariadne Picaro, Asterius Picaro, Tsukiyomi Picaro, and Kaguya Picaro) appears in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth as a DLC Persona.

Persona 5 Tactica[]

Orpheus Picaro and Izanagi Picaro appear as DLC via a pre-order bonus for the digital game or as a code included in the first print run of the physical game.[1][2] All of the other Picaro Personas (along with Raoul) are available via the Picaro Summoning Pack + Raoul Persona DLC.

Etymology[]

  • Pícaro is Spanish for "rogue" or "rascal."
  • In the Japanese version, Picaro is written as (賊神(ピカロ), Pikaro)?, the kanji meaning "god of thieves."
