Persona 5 Royal - Guide to the Mad Arcanum

One of the main features of Person 5 Royal that unite it with the other titles of the Shin Megami Tensei series are the so-called Personae, entities from popular stories and mythological tales that are grouped into 23 groups, the Arcana.

In this guide we will examine the exponents of the Arcanum Matto, examining the general characteristics of the game and its origins.

The Mad Arcanum

This Arcanum is represented by a masked jester with his dog. It represents irrationality, extravagance, recklessness and chaos

The Personae belonging to this Arcane are famous for their versatility in battle. Thanks to their skills they can adapt to any type of situation. Those who belong to the Fool do not stand out for any particular characteristic.

Generally this Arcanum is given to the protagonists, who because of this, always remain silent, but in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal it does not happen, in fact it is given to another character.

The Personae of the Mad Arcanum often resemble heroes, madmen or the protagonists of mythological stories.

The Confidant who represents this Arcanum in Persona 5 Royal is Igor, the master of the Velvet Room, as well as one of the central supporting characters for the Persona 5 Royal storyline.
