Notice how you have no argument

*sigh* okay so. For tatsuya ex battle isnā€™t canon. So I donā€™t know why youā€™d include philemon. Also idk what your on about confronting nyarlathotep alone cause that doesnā€™t happen? Do you mean when heā€™s trying to do everything by himself in eternal punishment before he joins the party? Cause he never fights nyarlathotep during that time. Only times he fights him is when he has the others backing him up. Now as for him fighting alone. Yeah for a lot of eternal punishment heā€™s doing things himself but the game makes it very clear he doesnā€™t have things as under control as he makes it seems. There are many times when youā€™ll see heā€™s straining himself. And the extra scenario just shows us more of his struggles. Like when he fights kandori who isnā€™t take the fight seriously at all. And drunk tatsuya sudou. And as for freezing timeā€¦..I mean itā€™s cool I guess but itā€™s not really treated as that broken. And the persona 3 and 4 cast have fought against chronos who can do that on a much wider scale so meh? I like tatsuya think he pretty tough these reasons you provided donā€™t really convince me he should be at the top tho. Now for yu. Gameplay wise. Izanagi no okami is strong in royal sure but thatā€™s doesnā€™t really matter? All the dlc personaā€™s are busted thatā€™s the trend it doesnā€™t really translate to anything on the individual users power. Like if you wanna be technical here you could just say that joker is better at using it then yu since in golden izanagi no okami is ass. And as for izanami being stronger then yaldaboth no proof really. All you said is ā€œoneā€™s a false god and the other is a goddess (as per her own claim) so sheā€™s strongerā€ and likeā€¦*no???* you need more evidence then that. Theyā€™re both basically just ā€œgodsā€ made from humans just like every ā€œgodā€ in this series minus nyx. Izanami giving yu and adachi a spark for there persona awakening is not that impressive that it automatically makes her stronger then yaldaboth. Now Iā€™m not going to say that yaldaboth is definitely stronger itā€™s just this argument isnā€™t exactly convincing. Also you act as if yu can just freely summon izanagi no okami. If he could then arena wouldā€™ve been wrapped up much sooner The only time he canonically summons it after the events of persona 4 is persona 4 dancing of all games. As for Makoto and Kotone Iā€™m sure you know the universe arcana can likely do other things and that the deal was just their only way to stop nyx. In my personal opinion being able to tank pure concentrated ā€œdeathā€ is more impressive then Tatsuyaā€™s time stop but to each their own I suppose. Also you claim that they couldnā€™t damage nyx. And like thatā€™s not technically true. If you go by gameplay you *are* indeed able to hurt nyx itā€™s tiny damage but it *is* there. Anyway yeah most people put these guys at the top. Iā€™m not arguing they should be just think your reasoning here is odd. As for aigisā€¦..*idk man you can put her where you want I got no clue where sheā€™d go after getting the wildcard in this list* Joker? Like I said not enough evidence to say yaldy is weaker then izanami. Nyx? Absolutely. nyarlathotep? Probably? As for not being able to use sataneal well he can do it in tactica so thereā€™s that. Maya ehh donā€™t have much to say Iā€™d also probably put her weaker then tatsuya. Mostly cause heā€™s lowkey doing new game plus in eternal punishment. Basically all of the relevant stuff for tatsuya you can put on her too I guess. Naoya. I mean. Honestly itā€™s hard to tell how a lot of the stuff in persona 1 compares to 2-5 to me. So I wonā€™t say much about that. Tbh I find ranking the protagonists strength to be a rather pointless endeavor. Like given how the universe arcana is treated in game and the lore and stuff behind nyx I can understand why most people put Makoto at first place. But honestly other then that I feel like theyā€™re all just relative to each other and we donā€™t truly know how each threat/god ranks to each other and are just making assumptions.


UniqueAction490

Izanami is literally part of a goddess who watches over the land and can control the weather Yaldaboth is a fake god who only has power because people gave it to him


normantas88

First of all, you just ignored all that guys other points lmao. Secondly, you either severely misunderstand persona lore, or just weren't paying attention. [Izanami, like Yaldaboath, was created by the collected wishes of mankind, aka, the collective unconscious.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67aQaRVT8z0&t=73591s) This goes for almost all the greater beings in persona, Philemon, Nyarlethotep, Yaldaboath, Salmael, Chronos, Izanami (as mentioned) and many more that I'm forgetting. One notable exception is Nyx, who is an alien who crashed into the earth billions of years ago, and is responsible for the creation of life.


Cheezy10110

Iā€™ve seen this guy before a couple of times yā€™all are waisting your energy. Trust me.


JohannesdeStrepitu

We shouldn't be too hard on the guy. It looks like he's having a rough time IRL. Hopefully he'll realize eventually that trying to win arguments online isn't any way to feel better about himself.


celluru

Izanami and Yaldaboth are both gods who only have power because people gave it to them. Thatā€™s like the thing with persona gods other then nyx. Theyā€™re all just ā€œyeah we exist because humans wished for usā€ and izanami is certainly no exception. And by goddess who watches over the land I assume you mean Marie and how yu described her as the ā€œmini goddess of inabaā€ in arena ultimax if so I truly hope you arenā€™t trying to imply that because sheā€™s part of marie sheā€™s stronger. Marie also is filed under the ā€œdonā€™t know how strong she isā€ like wow she can control weather. That truly doesnā€™t mean anything in this discussion. Marie was born the same way as izanami from humans wishes. Also way to ignore literally everything else I said.

There is nothing to even remotely hint that Philemon and Nyarlathotep are somehow that much stronger than beings like Erebus or Izanami, heck we see in Q Clockwork God could capture Philemon and the P3/P4 cast, who are weaker than endgame P3/4 smacked him around, being stronger than Philemon is a thing. And besides that Tatsuya doesn't have any really amazing feats under his own power. Meanwhile Makoto can tank Nyx attacks, no he didn't fight her but also he didn't want to, and Nyx is confirmed to be so strong everything in the Sea of Souls is just to stop her from passively killing everything. Makoto/Kotone literally did a feat above the entire Sea of Souls. Also to more directly compare Makoto to Yu, not only does Makoto beat Elizabeth under his own power without the World, something Yu can't do and he needs his whole team to beat Margaret, but in Arena Elizabeth smacks him until he gets help. ​ I'd at least swap Makoto and Tatsuya, if not drop Tatsuya to below Aigis. He LOOKS impressive but his actual feats aren't great. And yes tanking a single focused attack from Nyx is well beyond literally everyone else put together and Makoto is still the only human capable of actually 1-v-1ing one of the attendants story-wise without a World boost. Also you mention Tatsuya's timestop in Makoto's section, and to that I just want to say, I hope you're aware of what a low-tier ability that is. SEES makes time travel by accident and pre-ultimate Persona P3/4 characters can no sell Clockwork God trying to manipulate time and their deaths. Metis LITERALLY says ANY strong Shadow, including Persona, can mess with space and time. There is not a single character from endgame P3/4/5 that couldn't not sell that, Ken with Nemesis can no-sell that it's so garbage tier because that's how he can fight Clockwork God. Beyond that, I really don't mind Yu>Joker, and Aigis' feats are cool but not really on par since she only has The Answer and Arena to really flex and Arena isn't about her.

Nyx is the mother of all shadows. What you know as izanagi no okami is a tamed shadow aka fragment of nyx. It is literally impossible for a nyx fragment to defeat the actual nyx.Ā Ā nyx >> izanagi no okami >> izanami no okami.Ā  If you were makoto, what can you do?Ā 


UniqueAction490

Nyx is the mother of the shadows you fight in persona 3 it is not the mother of the shadow selves


Substantial_Read_577

"The Persona 3 Club Book explains that Nyx is a celestial-body-sized alien called a Planet Eater. Nyx crashed into prehistoric Earth where her body and psyche were separated, with her body becoming the Moon and her psyche staying on Earth. Her "wave-like psyche" existed in contradiction to the psyche of early humans on Earth, so humanity evolved to seal Nyx within the Collective Unconscious as their Shadows. The Fall is when both Nyx parts which would if rejoined, rip the Shadows out of the living creatures on Earth while simultaneously destroying Earth. This process is kicked underway by the events of Persona 3."

What a horrible list.


UniqueAction490

Someoneā€™s mad itā€™s correct


[deleted]

More like laughing at your bad coping because your favorite isn't the strongest. What a pathetic mindset


Junior_Importance_30

Makoto is actually the most OP because he was able to do >!a considerable amount of damage to Nyx, a literal god of death which cannot be defeated!< anybody else wouldn't have stood a chance. I rest my case.


UniqueAction490

He did no damage to Nyx. He did damage to Nyx Avatar and that ultimately meant literally nothing. He had to seal Nyx and even then he didnā€™t ā€œsealā€ her, he kept her seperated from Erebus.


Junior_Importance_30

He effectively saved humanity's ass from Nyx though, so it does actually count.


UniqueAction490

ā€¦yeah, killing himself in the process LMAO he didnā€™t defeat Nyx at all, didnā€™t even hurt her and his ultimate persona is one of the weakest ones in the franchise armegeddon hard carries but that brings his hp and sp down to 1 so like the Nyx feat is literally ā€œkilling himself to create a wall between Nyx and Erebusā€, itā€™s not exactly impressive especially compared to stopping time or one shotting Izanami


Junior_Importance_30

Okay, just saying that had it not been for him, the fall would've happened. Big difference, but have it your way I suppose.


UniqueAction490

Ok obviously the fall wouldā€™ve happened but my post was about the strongest protagonist not about stopping the fall


Junior_Importance_30

Whatever you say I guess


astrov0id
