I think Yuu doesn't cast Mudoon,he cast Sukunda at Naoto's Shadow.Rise says that she need to be slowed so only Sukunda/Masukunda that have slow effect(reducing agility)

It looks like Dojima and Nanako S.Link episode first,then maybe after that Beauty/Trap Pageant episode with Sun S.Link(?)

1st: Sunkuna is green
2nd: the anime seem to be faithful with persona's skill and Mot have no Sukunda
3rd: the way Mot cast the spell, what the spell look like and the sound effect clearly indicate it was Mudo(on)
4th: Sukunda is 100% hit but Shadow Naoto dooesn't seem to slow down

Can't wait for next episode. Nanako's SL is one of the best, and putting it with Dojima's is a good idea.

Truthfully for me, Yuu keeps getting upgrades and new personas for no reason what so ever. They just appear out of nowhere and he magically knows them all.

Why doesn't anyone else get any new Personas'? How exactly are they worse than him? If anything Yuu is a very plain character, especially as a main. He barely has any personality, I truthfully have no idea why everyone in the show loves him.

He is not bad and has his moments but over all nothing outstanding at all.

I think Igor already mentions this, but Yu is special as he is 'the fool', like the number zero he's empty but at the same time holds infinite potential - that's why unlike the others he can wield multiple personas, even fusing them together to get a stronger one with the help of the Velvet Room.

Well, that's the in-universe reason at least. In-game it's because Yu's the main character and just having one persona will make it really boring without all the flexibility of the customization. If it's any consolation, the anime throws the game's balance out of the window, in the game the rest of the team is nowhere near as useless in the anime and is around the same level as Yu, his main advantage is just the flexibility in changing personas.

Also, while your argument is pretty much true for the game, I think the anime did a great job to develop Yu's character over time. Just because he's very deadpan and nothing really fazes him, I think deep down he got as much character as the rest of the team.

Kuma, Kanji, Yousuke, and Yuu are the 4 members of the party, so the girls obvious won't fight cause they aren't "there" =P

But yeah, I'm also feeling towards the whole-- why even bother with the cast if they're gonna be useless.

I'll give you a hint; they don't call them 'Persona' for fun or just because it sounds cool.

Those are literally the manifestation of their persona.

Because despite what you may think, Yuu can't handle the entire dungeon by himself. It's rather shortsighted to view a person's value base on their raw firepower.

Rise is not useless. She gathers intelligence now. Her Persona almost killed them all when it was a Shadow.

Yeah, it doesn't. I'm just laughing at what you say.

Rise is all right. Everyone else? Pretty useless. Trophy characters for social link personas.

he not get them out of nowhere, they are from the bond he created with other people. and he knows them all because the persona itself are him, as Chaos2Frozen said "they don't call them 'Persona' for fun or just because it sounds cool."

Quote:
A Persona is a manifestation of a person's personality in the Persona series, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained.

Because anyone else already have a defined Arcana and they did not met "a certain person" that give them the power to have multiple persona. and because Yuu "barely has any personality" is the reason why he can have multiple persona, his Tarot Arcana is "The Fool", The Fool represents innocence, nothingness, it mean the the person of this arcana is nothing yet, empty as the card number is "0". but holds infinite potential and can become anything (in other word, can become any Arcana), that why he can summon persona from whatever Arcana he like while other can only summon persona of Their Arcana
for people who don't know, the team Arcana are:
Yuu: The Fool
Yosuke: The Magician
Yukiko: The High Priestess
Chie: The Chariot
Kanji: The Emperor
Naoto: The Wheel of Fortune
Rise: The Lovers
Kuma: The Star
those Arcana are not randomly placed either, each Arcana represents their Personality

I suppose there are still people who disregard the training episodes as "fillers"

Ep13&14 showed exactly how he gets those new persona. Pay more attention please :P



On a side note, it's not good to say that there's not enough water in the glass, but to see it as the glass being enormous

Agreed, Rise is critically important. First they wouldn't even be able to find the people without her help and in battle her ability is definitely helpful. Combine that scanning ability with Yu's persona swapping and you're in good shape. Scanning may not sound thrilling, but it's needed.

I think he has the right to call the rest of party member 'useless'..since, well..you know that megidolaon can literally obliterate everything in one swoop they do have some uses though, but the anime seems to minimize their efforts in presenting this episode.

kanji stalls time, kuma cleanse the debuff, rise providing intel, other girls being useless, and yousuke being yousuke~

so 2/6 being useless is not bad, at least others are helping
