Persona 5 - All Persona Catalysts & Awakenings 

Teammate: *giving up* Joker: Don’t give up Teammate: U right

Someone: how painful was it during your awakening? Phantom Thieves: yes

“How many dreams did you exchange for riches!?” “I don’t know, Yusuke, how many breads have you eaten in your life?”

When you are losing but the new guy starts having a seizure

"We're the Phantom Thieves, here to steal your girl" - Mona

Phantom Thieves: I blame myself Joker: Blame society Phantom Thieves: Okay I believe you

Everyone: *cries in pain* what is happening to me??? Makoto: *C O M E TO M E*

The English VA is well done in this game.

When you are completely capable of killing three main protagonists but instead you enable them to release their hidden power Kamoshida: 👍😎👌

Everyone : **Goes through intense pain while their persona talks to them** Futaba : **Gets picked up by tentacles and just giggles**

As a first time Persona 5 player, Joker's scene was some the dopest shit I've seen in a while the first time I saw it.

Everyone: rips mask off in agony Yusuke: S T Y L E

Joker: m8 u just broke my glasses, YOU JUST BROKE MY FCKIN GLASSES!?!?!! *Summons arsene*

Yusuke: A persona? Ryuji: Nah, dude. That's a bike. *facepalm*

"I am thou, thou art I..." "Call upon my name, and release thy rage!" That is just epic.

I *LOVE* the animation on Joker's awakening. I kinda wish they did it for all of them. That would've been epic.

Persona 3 awakening: Ah... headache... ok I’m better now Persona 4 awakening: Oh... I feel kinda dizzy... Persona 5 awakening: OH GOD AGH GODDAMMIT THIS IS TORTURE I AM IN DEEP AGONY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Key words in a Persona game. “I am thou, thou art I.”

Akechi’s voice actor puts so much god damn emotion into the fight with Akechi.

Persona: *_”Hello, I am your Persona. Wear my mask, and unchain your rebellious spiri-“_* The Person: *AHHHHHHHHrAUGhAHhAGUACHK-*

All of Komoshida's palace was just: "oooh I'm gonna kill em! I'm gonna really get em!" "No! Your not! Persona!"

Removing your mask to reveal your true face; has to be the most appropriate persona gimmick thus far!

I still think the line and the delivery of "The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!" is the best line delivery in the game, goosebumps every time

every single villain in persona 5: "YOU DAMN BRATS!"

Can you imagine your getting beaten up by bullies and all of a sudden you hear "I am thou, thou art I!

I lost it when Ryuji said “Wassup Persona”

"A Persona?" "No Dude, That's a bike"

Everyone : Pain and suffering during awakening Futaba : H E N T A I

Joker: * is prompted to say something * Joker: G HaAAh

"A persona?" "No, dude. That's a bike!"

(0:09) Ren’s Awakening. (6:14) Ryuji’s Awakening. (10:08) Ann’s Awakening. (15:27) Yusuke’s Awakening. (22:01) Makoto’s Awakening. (25:32) Futaba’s Awakening. (29:09) Haru’s Awakening. (35:17) Akechi’s Evil Awakening. (41:10) Joker’s True Awakening thanks to all the people cheering for the Phantom Thieves.

Ryujis was the most dramatic, Makotos was the most badass, Yusukes was the most heartfelt. Change my mind

“Call my name, and release thy rage!” Main character: AHHHHHHHHHHH

Persona 5 main characters: To summon our Personas we have to painfully tear a mask off our faces P3 main characters: Well we have to shoot ourselves in the head to summon our Personas! P4 main characters: We just have to crush a card to summon ours... P1 and P2 main characters: Wait, you need to do things to summon your Personas?

*STOP SCROLLING!* _please appreciate the fantastic voice acting this game has!! Even the silent protagonist has such emotion in his awakening! As a aspiring voice actor, seeing such a talent go rather unnoticed hurts! Appreciate the fantastic cast please!_

P3: natural awakening P4: accepting selves P5: change of hearts

Persona Awakening Speech Meanings Arsene: Even if people hate you or the world is against you, you have to fight for what you believe is right even if that means you'll be sent to hell. Captain Kidd: If people already have low expectations of you, you might as well act however you want and enjoy yourself. Carmen: You can't hold yourself back by calling yourself weak, or else all is lost. The only way to live it to go all out and not be afraid of what others might think. Goemon: If you see that something is wrong, you can't fix it by averting your eyes. You have to live by your own sense of right and wrong and to hell with what others think of your choices. Johanna: You can't live a life where you do nothing but obey the will of others even if it may seem like that is the right choice. If you want to find your own path, you'll need to deviate from the norm. Necronomicon: Don't let others deceive you with their false claims. Find the truth for yourself and don't let others pollute your mind with their beliefs. M'lady: Even if someone is close to you, that doesn't give them the right to control your future. If they insist on forcing their ideals upon you, than you'll have no choice but to betray them.

I like how that the voices of the Personas sound like altered voices of the actual people. It's touches like those that I like.

The Voice Actor for Akechi made me love his awakening, my favourite. They way he scream Loki and goes psychotic is just awesome. Talented voice actor.

Migraine + Voice in the Head + Mask Glued to the Face = Persona user.

Me: *gets an ad* After the ad Yusuke:you unforgiveable

Makoto has the highest pain tolerance I think out of all the thieves. Like most everyone is brought to their knees with how painful their persona awakening is (Exceptions with the protagonist cuz he’s being held upright). But makoto doesn’t fall, she breaks the fucking concrete. She’s so goddamn cool

I'm sorry but Ann's "I will rob you of everything" just hits so hard

Gotta say, the symbolism behind the final Persona being Satan, the origin of rebellion, is fantastic.

I like to imagine there’s a big emphasis on “I *art* thou” when Goemon comes to Yusuke

Can we all appreciate how Ann takes one of the Shadow's swords and slices the fuck out of her Princess version? That's awesome!

34:36 Why does Haru's persona sound like a member of Team Rocket

19:05 "You are unforgivable." "Hm?" *ad starts to play*

I still can't get over Arsene's heeled thigh highs.

Joker: Well you see the problem is we live in society.

Its been over two years, and these are still the most badass ways to introduce main characters.

*"We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our skin." - André Berthiaume* This cannot be more true than these moments themselves.

*Pulls off mask and blood goes everywhere* Kamoshida: :o Joker: Haha made ya flinch!

I like how during Makoto's catalyst, everyone's surprised by the fact that Makoto cussed and told Kaneshiro to basically shut the fuck up.

37:15 When the star of the drama class doesn’t get the lead role

24:49 Yusuke: A Persona...? Ryuji: No dude... That's a bike... XD

The most badass awakening will always be the main character's in my opinion. Nothing tops being engulfed in huge blue flames with your inner demon laughing at your enemies and then swatting them away like flies.

Is nobody gonna talk about Takamaki's Persona standing on some guy with a heart shaped face?

Emotional pain everywhere: I am inevitable Futaba: -AND IM KANYE WEST

If you relisten to Arsene's awakening speech, he was always referring to Satanael. "Vow to me. I am thou, thou art I...Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!" Talk about some Foreshadowing.

poor Kamoshida.. witnessing 3 awakening in a row

I always loved that the personas were voiced by the same VAs as their characters, it really emphasizes the themes and the idea that the personas are a part of them as well as giving the voice actors a fun little chance to flex

Haru: *Persona awakens* Ryuji: CHEESE (No literally, that's how I heard it it XD)

man. i love when Ryuji says: stop looking down' on me with THAT STUPID SMILE ON YOUR FACE.

Joker's the only one that gets to be in Anime form when he awakens Arsene... That's the perks of being the main character to ya

I like how when they awaken their Persona they suddenly know what's going on

That laugh Arsène did though. Absolutely bone chilling

*"B E T C H"* kamoshida - 2016

My dad was watching me play the game on his PS3 once,and he was hyping up the main character, wondering what would happen next. And then his persona awakening happened and my dad lost his shit.

Arsene: Vow To Me Joker: AAAAAHHHHHH Kamoshids: Dude, I cant kill this kid with you moaning behind me wtf...

Yosuke: A Breathtaking Sight Keanu reeves:No You'Re BreathTaking

Haru's all out finish was just badass. I mean she up and just kills some shadows and then sits down for a cup of tea.

Now i know why arsene said at the velvet room "I'll shall be gone but i shall always be by your side"

Had to pause it after Makoto. She's a badass. I love that she came out of her shell and stopped simply following orders from those she viewed as superiors. All great characters, but Makoto is my favorite aside from Akira.

Ann's transformation is my favourite. As soon as she changes she grabs a sword and swings it down hard on her fake double. So badass.

No one can ever tell me that summoning satan isn't the best ending to a game.

“That’s a persona” “No dude, that’s a bike” Why is this funny to me

Yusuke has one of the best awakening in my opinion just because of how badass the whole "Abominations are fated to perish" thing sounded

Every time someone summons their persona. I’m in the background chanting “do it, do it, do it”

Futabas pre-awakneing scene makes me cry all the time. Then her awakening happens and all I can think is "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going"

Futaba awakened her persona by *reaching out to the truth*.

Gives me chills hearing Morgana say “We are the Phantom Thieves, here to take your bride!”

I would like to point out that Necronomicon having a rather soothing voice fit's Futaba's struggle. She needed someone who would help comfort her and reinforce that the thing in front of her is an illusion that was made up of lies and that's exactly what her persona did. It didn't even make the awakening painful, weird yes, but it was always gentle with her.

How to troll a hardcore Persona fan: Give them a model gun Give them a tarot card Superglue a badass mask on their face while they sleep *Wait*

I love how they just watch in the background while the person getting awakening is in pain

Nobody: Nobody on earth: Persona 5: I AM THOU, THOU ART I AM THOU, THOU ART I AM THOU, THOU ART I AM THOU, THOU ART I AM THOU, THOU ART

2:27 Joker 8:35 Ryuji 13:51 Ann 20:03 Yusuke 23:54 Makoto 28:41 Futaba 34:05 Haru 39:31 Akechi 41:09 Joker (Again)

Yaladabaoth: You dare rob the people of their wishes?! Me: Bitch! I AM their wish!!

*I am thou, T H O U A R T I*

I think we can all agree that Joker, Makoto and Haru have the best awakenings.

I love how Makoto doesn’t even hesitate to unleash her Persona and forge the contract. Just shows how badass she is.

Since I was unable to find timestamps for the awakenings, both in the description and the comments, I'm gonna make my own. 0:08 - Joker (Protagonist, awakening to Arsene) 3:47 - Skull (Ryuji Sakamoto, awakening to Captain Kidd) 10:07 - Panther (Ann Takamaki, awakening to Carmen) 15:26 - Fox (Yusuke Kitagawa, awakening to Goemon) 22:00 - Queen (Makoto Nījima, awakening to Johanna) 25:34 - Oracle (Futaba Sakura, awakening to Necronomicon) 29:08 - Noir (Haru Okumura, awakening to Milady) 35:17 - Crow (Goro Akechi, awakening to Loki) 40:44 - Joker (Protagonist, awakening to Satanael) Hope y'all have a nice day.

Fox: A persona...? Skull: No dude, that’s a bike!

The Screen movement for Ryuji’s Awakening is amazing 9:15 i love it

The music and intensity of the transformations with their groans often gives me goosebumps. Love these.

It's a bird It's a plane.............. No dude..... that's a bike

Fun fact: The guy who plays Joker is also the voice of the announcer in smash 4.

Joker: How do I say "Stop it?" Oh I know. *Softly* Ah!

One of the best games I've ever played this games a masterpiece

Can we just stop to take a good 45 minutes to appreciate how well the dub sounds? I started the game in English by mistake because I usually prefer the Japanese voice actors in anime/games. But the English cast KILLED it. All of their scenes give me goosebumps. I'm really happy I played this in English
