Social Link

For availability and responses, see: Kanji Tatsumi/Social Link

Persona 4 Golden

In Persona 4 Golden, Kanji's moveset is put more in the direction of a tank. He no longer gains Power Charge by leveling up, and his social link instead gives him skills like the Regenerate line, eventually culminating in giving him Evade Wind, no longer blocking wind at the end of his social link. this cements Kanji as a tank-oriented character, while maintaining an emphasis on knockdowns and the Dizzy ailment with his normal skills.

During wintertime, if Kanji's social link is completed, he will ask to speak to the protagonist privately. This will unlock his final persona, Takeji Zeiten. This grants him Resist Phys and Absorb Elec, as well as the unique skill "The Man's Way". This skill gives him a chance of downing all enemies and inflicting them with the Dizzy ailment, calling back to his initial role in vanilla Persona 4.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

In Persona 4 Arena and its sequel, Kanji acts as the archetypal grappler character, prioritizing up-close combat with grabs and tackles in tandem with Take-Mikazuchi. As well, their electric attacks can inflict the Shock status on his opponents, making them unable to move or jump. Kanji's basic movement options are somewhat slower compared to the rest of the playable characters, as is typical for grapplers in Arc System Works' games, so players may struggle to get in to effective range.
