Gameplay

For complete gameplay information, see Gameplay:Yu Narukami.

The protagonist starts out with Izanagi. Unlike other party members, the protagonist can never be swapped out of battle, and having him faint will result in an automatic Game Over.

The protagonist has the special property of being a Wild Card, making him able to summon and switch between different Personas in battle, as well as change his stock of Personas to an extent. This lets him swap out between multiple different strategies, as well as switch his elemental affinities.

Trivia

  • According to the Persona 4 Art Book, Soejima states if the P4 Hero was a Sentai Ranger he would be the Blue Ranger rather than the Red Ranger.
    • Despite this, his later outfit is ironically the Red Ranger in both P4G and P4D.
  • According to the Persona 5 Art Book, the Hero is described as being designed to remind you of a dog: loyal and sincere.
  • In the US manual for the original Playstation 2 release of Persona 4, the protagonist is shown to be named Raidou Kuzunoha.[2] This is a reference to the character of the same name from the Devil Summoner series.
  • Yu Narukami has several alternate color palettes in Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle intended to reference other media.
  • In the manga, Soji forms bonds with both characters of the Sun and Strength Arcana, despite this being impossible in-game.
  • In the stage plays, the Hero's name is changed with each showing as the audience would choose the name.
  • Yu's cell phone in Persona 4 The Animation is the teal and silver EXILIM CA003.[3]
