'''Arsène''' ({{ja|アルセーヌ|Arusēnu}}, ''Arsene''), referred to as '''Arsene''' prior to ''Persona 5 Royal'', is the initial Persona of [[Joker]] in ''Persona 5''. The source of Joker's supernatural abilities, he represents the rebellious side of Joker's soul.
'''Arsène''' ({{ja|アルセーヌ|Arusēnu}}, ''Arsene''), formatted as '''Arsene''' prior to ''Persona 5 Royal'', is the initial Persona of [[Joker]] in ''Persona 5''. The source of Joker's supernatural abilities, he represents the rebellious side of Joker's soul. He appears in ''Smash'' as a [[fighter ability]] for {{SSBU|Joker}}.


==Origin==
==Origin==
Arsène is the personification of the rebellious side of Joker's soul, expressing righteous indignation for his mistreatment and desiring retribution against those responsible. Personas exist within all people, but without the right catalyst, a person usually goes their whole life unable to learn about their existence, let alone successfully summon one. After Joker's friend [[Ryuji Sakamoto]] is nearly killed, Arsène is able to make contact with Joker and form a contract with him. From there, he grants Joker his supernatural abilities to combat malevolent forces.

Arsène is based on the literary gentleman thief {{iw|wikipedia|Arsène Lupin}}, from a series of novels written by {{iw|wikipedia|Maurice Leblanc}}. He was known for targeting criminals or those who were much worse than himself, making him an anti-hero of sorts within his own stories.

Arsène plays a critical role in Joker's moveset, appearing when his [[Rebellion Gauge]] has been filled and upgrading Joker's special moves. Joker's normal attacks are enhanced with additional hits by Arsène, who is fully intangible to attacks while active. Joker also has longer [[roll]]s when he is summoned.
Arsène plays a critical role in Joker's moveset, appearing when his [[Rebellion Gauge]] has been filled and upgrading Joker's special moves. When Joker uses [[Rebel's Guard]] with a full Rebellion Gauge, Arsène appears. Joker's normal attacks are enhanced with additional hits by Arsène, who is fully intangible to attacks while active. Joker also has longer [[roll]]s when he is summoned.


Arsène is fully voiced in Joker's reveal trailer, while during gameplay he remains silent. This is in-line with ''Persona 5'', where Arsène will talk during a handful of pivotal moments in the story but is otherwise entirely silent, including during battles.

[[File:JokerSummoningArseneJapaneseVersion.jpg|right|thumb|The cut-in effect of Joker summoning Arsène in the Japanese version of ''Ultimate'']]  
*The special cut-in effect when Joker summons Arsène differs depending on region; if the language is set to Japanese, it is accompanied by the onomatopoeia "{{ja|ブチッ|Buchi}}" (to snap from anger). If the language is set to anything else, there are instead two exclamation marks. This reflects the English localization of ''Persona 5'', which changed the cut-in effect the same way.

*In Joker's reveal trailer, Ryuji notes that Arsène is one of his weaker Personas and that Joker could use a much stronger one, referencing how Arsène, as the starting Persona, is often fused early on in the game, with Arsène even having a line prior to his fusion.

**However, unlike those two, Arsène is psychically connected to Joker rather than simply being a companion, does not appear unless the Rebellion Gauge is full, and is a singular entity rather than a species.
