Arsene (アルセーヌ, Arsene) is the initial Persona of Joker in Persona 5. The source of Joker's supernatural abilities, he represents the dark side of Joker's soul.
Origin
Arsene is the personification of the darker 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. After Joker's friend Ryuji is nearly killed, Arsene 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.
Arsene is based off of the character Arsène Lupin from a series of novels written by 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.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Arsene 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, Arsene appears. Joker's normal attacks are enhanced with additional hits by Arsene, who is fully intangible to attacks while active. Joker also has longer rolls when he is summoned.
