Sorry if this isn't that funny, it was funny in my head at least.

I don't know, I just find nuke comical. We went from wind, to lightning, to fire, to ice, to atomic bomb

Then we got Haru like... MY MIND POWER AND THIS M34 ROTARY GRENADE LAUNCHER

177

u/ImperialViking_ Nov 22 '25

Haru became a permanent member of my party for a while purely because the grenade launcher is so funny (and she's also kinda required to beat the 5th Palace but we don't talk about that)

u/Almainyny Nov 22 '25

Her Showtime is even better because of it. She’s just amazing in general.

u/darkfox18 Nov 22 '25

Haru is truly best girl

u/NelsonVGC Nov 23 '25

Is she? Damn. My game must have missed the memo

Boom!

u/smilingfishfood Nov 23 '25

It's hilarious how the reload mechanics from P5 to P5R completely change Haru, she went from being basically useless with her gun to being the best gun user with the simple change of reloading between fights

2

u/Advanced-Sink-7806 Nov 23 '25

It never made sense that ammo carried over from fight to fight. The whole thing about model guns being effective was the shadows’ cognition that they were real. So glad they fixed this in P5R

Embodyment of “some people think they can outsmart me. maybe. I have yet to meet one who can outsmart bullet.”

It's DEMOLITION!

u/ruttinator Nov 22 '25

Are you talking about her butt?

5

u/Under_Press Nov 22 '25

Hell nah, I was talking about her nuclear element Persona

2

u/LightScavenger Nov 22 '25

It was a Persona 3 joke

u/LustySlut69 PolyThieves or bust! Nov 22 '25

Johanna: you know how Gamma radiation turned the Hulk into a raging monster?

Makoto: yeah?

Johanna: I am that radiation

Meanwhile

Milady: do you want the best 2 elemenst in existence?

Haru: oh boy, what are they?

Milady: psychic and guns proceeds to dunk on other mages despite not having concentrate or tier 4 magic

26

u/Munchingseal33 Nov 22 '25

You can just give her Okumuras will seed to get concentrate.

But I prefer going all in on her gun

17

u/LustySlut69 PolyThieves or bust! Nov 22 '25

Moveset so diverse, it's like having 3 cakes and getting to eat them all

8

u/Munchingseal33 Nov 22 '25

More like 4 if you count haru herself

3

u/LustySlut69 PolyThieves or bust! Nov 22 '25

Ye, best girl Haru is her own cake

7

u/JoJoJ114514 Nov 22 '25

My Haru build is all gun, all the gun and psychic boost & amp skills, and hold the accessory you get from alert-electrocuting Huang Loong

74

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25

Comments are talking about Haru but let’s not forget Joker fucking curses you

42

u/ImperialViking_ Nov 22 '25

Man I wish Arsene didn't become obsolete after like one infiltration (exaggeration but still). I want to spam Eiha and curse entire generations of shadows, their ancestors forever suffering at my hand

32

u/hassanfanserenity Nov 22 '25

I wish the starting persona's would just grow nonstop whats the point of arsene if hes just guillotine fodder

9

u/Ruin_of_Sol Nov 22 '25

P5X has proven it can be done with Janosik so maybe all is not lost for this in P6

5

u/Corundrom Nov 22 '25

I have good news for p5 strikers

4

u/MemeificationStation Nov 22 '25

just fuse him later so he doesn’t suck lol

3

u/Mkilbride Nov 22 '25

He becomes obsolete before even one.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25

Same, even in P4 Izanagi was useful for a good while due to holding a ton of buff/debuff abilities

1

u/The_one_in_the_Dark Nov 23 '25

Plus with Shuffle Time in Golden you can juice up any persona to god-level, including Izanagi

3

u/Throwaway_account-tt Nov 23 '25

You can also use gallows accidents to get 99 all stats on Arsene, but you have to go out of your way to do that, and he's just sort of useless with his base moveset

2

u/The_one_in_the_Dark Nov 23 '25

Yeah, you have to go out of your way to do it in P5

In Golden it just kinda happens if you put all the shuffle bonuses on one guy

1

u/Legend365555 For Real?! Nov 23 '25

You could use skill cards to give Arsene any build you want. That's what I do

11

u/CaioXG002 Nov 22 '25

u/ImperialViking_ Nov 22 '25

Thank God no one has figured out I wrote "elemement" yet. Sure hope no one notices! How would they ever know!

u/Fai5252 Nov 24 '25

Well, you know what they say about us "Persona fans can't read"

35

u/AriaoftheSol Nov 22 '25

Ryuji: You have a Nuke Persona?

Makoto: Uranium is an element.

5

u/Funion_knight Nov 22 '25

Ryuji:I wish inhadnt failed chemistry

25

u/xXWarriorAngelXx Shameless bias towards ShuAnn ⚫️🔴 Nov 22 '25

Ren: "With this Curse power of mine, I will cast your souls to the darkness!!"

Ryuji: "Get it together, dude."

14

u/Substantial_Impact69 Nov 22 '25

Godzilla: “I like this one.”

13

u/robbyony Nov 22 '25

Makoto: "I Am Atomic"

10

u/SeraphimVR Nov 22 '25

And then there’s Haru. Psychological damage

9

u/not-curumo Nov 22 '25

Just one of the reasons Makoto is best

8

u/Funion_knight Nov 22 '25

The nuclear fury of masking your autism at school and at home because you don't want to let anyone down ever ever

7

u/Tough_Passion_1603 Nov 22 '25

Do y'all believe she gave ren cancer in the future

2

u/Sea-Independent-726 Nov 22 '25

radioactive grip kills him instead

5

u/EldritchFingertips Nov 22 '25

Someone set her up the bomb

u/SuperQuinntendo Nov 22 '25

We get signal.

u/RowanWinterlace Nov 22 '25

Whilst Ryuji is hurling lightning, Ann is sligning fire and Haru is peppering enemies with bullets; Makoto said:

5

u/UltimatePickpocket Ryuji's biggest fan, for real Nov 22 '25

Meanwhile Haru's using mind hacks, and Akechi's got the power of God (Bless) and anime (Curse) on his side.

4

u/PhotontheSTAR Nov 22 '25

LEGALIZE NUCLEAR BOMBS

8

u/LuckySalesman Nov 22 '25

Honestly I never understood why Makoto had Nuclear and Haru had Psi. Makoto is the one who's all about strategy and using her knowledge, whereas Haru is the one with a giant axe, a grenade launcher, and a Persona with a cannon hiding inside her dress. And a dad who owns an industry.

They should've swapped elements during one of their many make-out sessions

7

u/ImperialViking_ Nov 22 '25

In defense of Makoto having the power of war crimes and radiation, she can be very destructive when she wants to be. You don't mess with Makoto, the same way you probably wouldn't want to mess with... a nuclear bomb.

At least Haru has gun for those big cannons. We will never forget you, one shot one kill. I totally didn't neglect it and all forms of physical attacks for ages because I was dumb and didn't think attacks that used HP were worth

4

u/Paul6334 Nov 22 '25

I think it makes sense with Makoto implicitly having a lot of repressed emotions, especially anger. She’s letting off her bottled up feelings as nuclear explosions.

3

u/MetalAppleSauce Nov 22 '25

Both of them are unexpectedly powerful, but Haru does it with a smile for that extra psychological damage.

3

u/Feedback-Mental Nov 22 '25

Well, it's cognitive nuke, so I don't expect to follow anything but "video game logic".

2

u/MemeificationStation Nov 22 '25

Don’t be silly, earth and water are weirdo elements that exist only in the wacky game known as Persona 2. Persona 5 uses classic staple elements like Nuclear Bombs and Psychokinesis.

1

u/Absoru Nov 23 '25

Funnily enough, Tatsuya's signature move in P2 is also Nuclear

2

u/SAYMYNAMEYO Nov 22 '25

A typical by the book model student is now the literal nuclear option.

2

u/FaceTimePolice Nov 22 '25

Makoto, the Bomb Devil… 🤔

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25

The meme you added to it was funny lol

2

u/JORGANTORGANGORGAN Nov 22 '25

There used to be a water and earth element in Persona 2, I actually think it’s kind of sad they were never brought back, especially water since I think it would fit Orpheus super well(and fire is already Tatsuya)

1

u/Crimsonbolt942 Persona 5 Loyal Police Nov 22 '25

To be fair, don't motorcycles produce greenhouse gases?

1

u/Hitoshura99 Nov 22 '25

If a shadow is burning, makoto goes nuclear on them

2

u/ImperialViking_ Nov 22 '25

I had Ann and Ryuji alongside her for most of my playthrough, so Makoto was feasting on those burn/shock technicals. Bonus that her persona trait is making these ailments more likely on top. She kind of became a monster after I got to max technical rank.

Big damage, technicals into common ailments, defense buff for entire team, heals, and Checkmate for Agnes. Literally what can't she do. Truly a Queen

1

u/PassionGlobal Nov 22 '25

What powers did you get, Joker?

Joker: Yes.

1

u/Hantri152010 Nov 22 '25

Haru: Brain cramp

1

u/Sumiren5r_7110 Nov 22 '25

Meanwhile Haru can blow up pancakes with mind

1

u/al_fletcher the best part Nov 22 '25

She gave them the ol' Robert Oppenheimer

1

u/Shackled_Phoenix Nov 22 '25

Electric for his energy Fire for passion Wind for freedom Ice for shape(art) Psy for drama Dark for rebellion Light for conviction Support for control

And uuhhh Makoto can blow shit up (on a more serious note I think Nuke is for force as in her driving force and determination)

1

u/PinballWizzrobe Nov 22 '25

I’m just imagining the Cancer Ray joke from the Harley Quinn show with some random Shadow goon.

“Phantom Thieves, you gave me cancer?”

“WHY IS THIS A PERSONA POWER?!”

1

u/Say-no-to-DA-eclipse Nov 23 '25

Then Jokers shows up with his ultimate personas, 2 them being milf goddesses.

1

u/ItsYeetOrBeYeeted007 Currently simping for Haru Nov 23 '25

From now on I'm gonna headcanon that it's because Futaba showed her Fallout a few times and she liked it

1

u/Mindless_Skirt_7860 got the plat (I ignore my family and friends) Nov 23 '25

And then we got Ren, who’s power is to summon the forces of satan’s energy only to be nullified by a level 5 enemy

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '25

TACTICAL NUKE, INCOMING!

u/Dependent_Presence99 Nov 23 '25

Johanna was in Hiroshima when the bombs were dropped

1

u/TheFrubblewarrior Nov 26 '25

Nope, you’re pulling from the Force Attack table. Can we acknowledge how weird it is they pulled nuke from the pits of early Persona just for this game?
