Persona - Magatsu Izanagi

A Persona is a manifestation of a Persona user's personality, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. Rather, the term "persona" is Latin for "mask."


Adachi summons his Persona without destroying a card like all the other characters in the game, instead just holding his head and manifesting the Persona into being.



Magatsu-Izanagi
Magatsu-Izanagi (禍津伊弉諾) means "Calamity Izanagi." This refers to Izanagi's state before he washed away the filth from Yomotsu Hirasaka in a failed mission to retrieve his late consort, Izanami.

Magatsu-Izanagi also represents "Emptiness;" Adachi himself represents "Emptiness," distaste for the world at large, in Izanami's experiment to determine the value of humanity, which further shows Magatsu-Izanagi's connection to the Fool Arcana.
