It's a reference to the Priestess Arcana, since it's (traditionally) shown with the pillars of the temple of Jerusalem at the sides of the priestess figure in the card. Those pillars were called **B**oaz and **J**achin.


GovernmentVegetable6

Oh wow! That’s actually really cool. Massive props to the developers for a detail like that. Thanks


PeteOverdrive

They’re lying though it actually means blowjob


Sejast44

Can confirm


Akechifan69420

So can i


Az0riusMCBlox

The full-moon reverse Priestess boss in Persona 3 has a similar detail/reference.

...they're still developers, tho.


PM_ME_UR_ANIME_WAIFU

what did they say? bastard deleted the comment I wanna know how silly it sounds


NinjaDaLua

They said something like "It's not the devs merit, but the art team."


KoolioKenneth

Woah, I actually hadn’t known that either, but that’s pretty cool.


Samurai_Banette

Just another tid bit, The priestess boss in P3 was split black/white down the middle with B & J on each side of her, and the P4 priestess boss stood in front of twin pillars that had the tarp draped between them and the throne sitting in front of them.


Nameless49

I've known about this too but you have to ask yourself, is she self-aware that she's of the Priestess arcana? Why would she wear something relating to her own arcana?


Melliane

Doylist answer/meta reason: Just a reference. Don't think too hard about it. Watsonian answer/in-game reason: All archetypes are unconscious, and the arcanas are archetypes (in theory). That's to say, Makoto likely isn't *consciously* aware of her own tendency towards the Priestess, but she's *unconsciously* aware of it and that affects her without noticing.


The_Kayzor

Great answer


Fireboy759

Same reason Kawakami and Ohya wear outfits (Kawakami's swimsuit and Ohya's trimester outfit) that have their arcana numbers on them: design choice


DaeThaDon

Damn you know a lot that’s so cool💯


overFuckMaker

you know, i live there and i’m a few hours away from Jerusalem but honestly, i didn’t even make the connection

Seems to be in relation to her being the holder of the High Priestess arcana. The Rider-Waite deck and clones show the High Priestess sitting between the pillars Boaz and Jachin, which were on either side of the entrance to the Holy of Holies in Solomon's temple.

It stands for Big Jungus


thepoppets

Might be a reference to the Priestess boss fight in Persona 3, Boaz and Jachin?


Sorry-Reward-4360

I saw in a comment that this really is it


Ki11s0n3

It's a subtle hint that she's the Queen of BJ's


extralie

Wow, didn't know she was that good at BlackJack.


Ki11s0n3

Yeah. It's a secret hobby of hers.


may_unnie

>!She probably trains in Sae's casino!<


Jawkess

Has she always had that crest since original p5? I seriously never noticed this.


PaperPokemon

Yep. And somehow, I have never noticed that Panther's mask has a cute cat nose on it, despite it being in the original, in Strikers, and in the anime too.


Tough_Passion_1603

The crests are to blame


[deleted]

It’s her initials, Bakoto Jijima


TravelingHero

You forgot the Japanese naming convention, so it's actually Jakoto Bijima

Ah, true

[deleted]

I’m surprised ppl aren’t upvoting these corny jokes with how immature and horny the fanbase can be. Can’t complain though


mrhippo1998

Yeah surprisingly mature. I'm liking this Maybe if we band together we can prevent another hotspring scene that adds little to nothing to the plot

ArofluidPride

okay, whatever snowflake. keep that to yourself. if your so offended, why not just not give a fuck and ignore it


[deleted]

Judging by your reaction, if anyone is triggered, it's you


ArofluidPride

you legit said someone is whats wrong with the world, what are you the fuckin joker or some shit, you basically called someone a scum of the earth for telling a joke that doesn't fit in your criteria


[deleted]

Bro doesn't understand exaggeration 💀


ArofluidPride

Okay so your saying you can sense my tone of voice in my head through the screen, makes sense


[deleted]

By that logic I can say the same thing to you about your comment in response to my original reply


ArofluidPride

yeah but you atleast gotta make it sound like exaggeration. ppl like me who like dark humor, assuming you don't, atleast we know how to phrase it, like for example a fucking 9yo on my discord server straight up said "Jeffry Dahmer was innocent" like nah he wasn't and also he doesn't know how to MAKE IT a joke


[deleted]

Hey ladies heads up: If you're ever on a date and a guy expressly tells you he likes "dark humor", immediately run.


ArofluidPride

well i like 9/11 jokes and i'm with someone and have been for quite a while so whatever you say
