What If You Could Get Weapons From the Other World in Persona 6?

Chances are, the next Persona game will still take place in modern Japan.

But there’s one small detail that keeps bothering me:

How would weapon acquisition work this time?

Persona 5 handled it through a military shop, but repeating the exact same solution might feel a bit awkward. And realistically speaking, that setup feels like it would become harder to justify with each new installment.

So here’s a thought:

What if weapons were obtained from the other world instead?

We’ve already seen precedents like Trish in past games, so having a Shadow take on the role of a shopkeeper wouldn’t feel that strange.

Imagine if, separate from dungeons, there existed an actual living space for Shadows. A place where the party could establish a base, store equipment, and manage items.

Mechanically, it would be incredibly convenient. And thematically, it could add a refreshing new layer to the setting.

And if you could even build a Social Link with that Shadow?

It feels like that alone could open the door to entirely new types of relationships and story developments.

Protagonist Concept Art — Persona 6 Fan Project

From my full Persona 6 fan concept — concept art of the protagonist: school uniform, tokusatsu-style battle suit, and his initial Persona.

[ratatouille4]

Supporting Characters — Outside Support

・Easygoing Female Police Officer

Arcana: Chariot Ability: Enhanced Firearm Attacks A female police officer who appears lazy and unmotivated, often skipping work to loiter at arcade game centers. During her time at the police academy, she gave birth to a daughter, an event that effectively removed her from the career fast track. This led to her current sense of resignation. However, she harbors no resentment toward her daughter—in fact, she loves her deeply and wholeheartedly.

・Daughter of the Female Police Officer

Arcana: Devil Ability: Unlocks New Cooking Recipes in Traumheim The nine-year-old daughter of the easygoing female police officer. Mature beyond her years, she devotes herself to cooking in an effort to support her mother, displaying remarkable culinary skill. Her parents are divorced, and she lives apart from her father, yet she rarely shows loneliness and carries herself with quiet resilience.

・Elderly Vegetable Researcher

Arcana: Hanged Man Ability: Unlocks Vegetable Cultivation in Traumheim A cultivation advisor at a vegetable factory that the protagonist visits during a school field trip in May. Advanced in age, he was brought in as a consultant due to his extensive hands-on experience in vegetable farming, contributing primarily to quality improvement. A dedicated craftsman at heart, he is honest, kind, and supports others from behind the scenes.

・The Protagonist’s Counselor

Arcana: Hierophant Ability: Adds New Persona Expedition Destinations The counselor whom the protagonist visits intermittently due to persistent memory loss following a traffic accident. A man in his thirties and a new father. Friendly and approachable, he often suggests places to visit as a change of pace. Unbeknownst to most, he is a former classmate of the school nurse who serves as the Special Effects (SFX) Club Advisor, and together they quietly investigate phenomena related to Reverse Rikan.

[ratatouille4]

Supporting Characters — Rikan Academy

・Special Effects (SFX) Club Advisor

Arcana: Death Ability: Increases the variety of furniture that can be crafted in Traumheim A male advisor for the Special Effects (SFX) Club who also serves as the school nurse. He is in his thirties and single. Wearing a heavily wrinkled lab coat and sporting unshaven stubble, he pays little attention to his appearance. Though largely hands-off with club activities, he is highly capable, having independently uncovered the underlying cause of a Reverse Rikan–related phenomenon in which people suffer psychological breakdowns in a chain reaction. His hobby is DIY.

・Occult Research Club Upperclassman

Arcana: Wheel of Fortune Ability: Improves action efficiency through self-suggestion using herbal tea A third-year student belonging to the Occult Research Club next door to the SFX Club. A girl with an air of detachment from the mundane world. Rather than blindly believing in the supernatural, she approaches such topics with flexibility, analyzing them academically and incorporating them into everyday life. She is skilled at making herbal tea, and dreams of opening a café in the future that incorporates fortune-telling.

・Student Council President at another school

Arcana: Empress Ability: Grants an advantage in negotiations with Shadows Student council president of a prestigious traditional girls’ academy known for sending many students to top universities. Beautiful, respected, and born into a former noble family, she seems flawless — yet quietly struggles with the fact that she has no clear vision for her future. After seeing the protagonist speak on equal terms with an elderly advisor during a joint field trip in May, she begins to take notice of him. A chance reunion in the city gradually brings them closer. Though refined, she is somewhat sheltered and unfamiliar with places like fast-food restaurants.

[ratatouille4]

Supporting Characters — Otherworld

・Amelia

Arcana: Judgement Ability: Unlocks additional Velvet Room functions A resident of the Velvet Room in this story, appearing as a girl around the same age as the protagonist, dressed in a retro nurse outfit. She is still an inexperienced newcomer among her siblings, struggling to maintain an air of authority and pondering the question of what “human potential” truly means. Her name is derived from the film Son of Frankenstein.

・Nergal

Arcana: Sun Ability: Sells recovery items One of the Shadows who trades with the protagonist in Reverse Rikan. He takes the form of the Mesopotamian god of war, death, plague, and the underworld. While he cooperates for the sake of Reverse Rikan’s peace, he is fully prepared to execute the protagonist without hesitation should they prove unreliable.

・Tezcatlipoca

Arcana: Moon Ability: Sells and modifies weapons and armor One of the Shadows who trades with the protagonist in Reverse Rikan. He appears as a major deity from Aztec mythology, presiding over the night sky, the earth, obsidian, war, and many other domains. Flippant and carefree by nature, he is satisfied as long as the protagonist causes enough chaos to alleviate his boredom.

・Hathor

Arcana: Star Ability: Duplicates skill cards One of the Shadows who trades with the protagonist in Reverse Rikan. She takes the form of the Egyptian goddess of love and beauty. Though she presents herself as calm and graceful, there is an unfathomable depth lurking behind her ever-present smile.

Rival

◆ Chikage MutŌ（武藤 千景）

Arcana: Tower Ability: Reveals the conditions required to unlock the “Doors of the Heart” during dungeon exploration A mysterious, otherworldly boy who appears before the protagonist during hospital visits. Cynical and misanthropic by nature, he nonetheless takes an interest in the amnesiac protagonist, gradually developing a strange sense of sympathy through their interactions. In truth, he is a Persona user whose awakening followed a path different from that of the others. Through his involvement with the protagonist, he belatedly manifests the potential of the Wild Card— yet the nature of his power is fundamentally and irreconcilably different from theirs.

Party Members — First Awakenings

◇ Sanitas

Arcana: Magician A rabbit-shaped health-monitoring AI installed on the protagonist’s smartphone, serving as the story’s mascot character. In truth, Sanitas is the embodiment of the “healthy aspect” separated from Reverse Rikan, a wounded god, manifesting through the form of an AI and forming a contract with the protagonist.

Protagonist

◆default name:

Kaname Suzukake（鈴掛 要）

A second-year high school student who transfers to the senior division of Rikan Academy while suffering from amnesia. Gentle and androgynous in demeanor, Kaname has a habit of unconsciously touching the magnet-piercing–style medical device attached to his left ear.

Within the Hexenheim of Reverse Rikan, however, his presence shifts dramatically. Clad in a plague mask and combat suit, he adopts a bold, aggressive fighting style, wielding a mechanical scythe capable of transforming into a rifle or a drill spear, taking the lead on the battlefield.

His initial Persona is Elixir — a universal panacea equated with the Philosopher’s Stone sought by alchemists. Elixir manifests as a steampunk-styled entity wearing an Inverness coat, with a flask-like head and a mask fashioned from stag bones.

Combat Style: Blessing

Call Color: Cyan

https://picrew.me/ja/image_maker/458801

[ratatouille4]

Special Effects(SFX) Club/Spec Ops Club

〇 Special Effects(SFX) Club/Spec Ops Club（特撮部／匿察部） Arcana: The Fool. This group occupies the same narrative position as S.E.E.S. in Persona 3, the Investigation Team in Persona 4, and the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5. It began as a tiny club on the verge of being disbanded, with only one member, but gradually grows as the characters use it as a cover for their Persona activities. The clubroom is decorated with various Feather Man goods collected over the years.

〇 Persona A familiar concept in the series: the “social face” in Jungian psychology and the power that arms the heart for battle. The word comes from the Latin for “mask.” In this title, Personas function as an “immune force” that confronts Infectious Shadows and Lesion Shadows, so their motifs derive from legendary elixirs and divine foods. After Transcendence, they become beings that surpass life and death. Awakening involves drinking a “poison” born from one’s own Shadow, enduring agonizing pain, and having a Persona take shape from the blood expelled during the process (except for the protagonist). This reflects the saying, “poison turns into medicine.” After awakening, members wear protective suits, each identified by the color of the inner layer—serving a role similar to Phantom Thief code names in Persona 5.

〇 Protective Suits These function like the Phantom Thief outfits in Persona 5, automatically activating when the party enters Hexenheim. Each suit features a fitted plague mask, a slit surgical-inspired bodysuit, and Super Sentai–style long gloves and boots. The summoning motion involves holding an Arcana Card up to a belt buckle shaped like the Rod of Asclepius. The card dissolves into particles of light and materializes as the Persona.

〇 Traumheim The base of operations for the “Shelter Unit” in Reverse Rikan. The name means “House of Dreams” in German. Since Reverse Rikan can only be reached through dreams, characters can bring nothing from reality except what they are wearing. Because of this, they cultivate ingredients and cook meals within Traumheim to prepare for their activities.

[ratatouille4]

Key Terms

〇 Nega-Virus A mysterious “mental virus” spreading throughout Reverse Rikan. An infected Shadow’s eyes turn a dull purple-gray, and it becomes violently unstable—this is the first stage, the Infected Shadow. If the condition worsens, it enters the second stage, the Lesion Shadow, constructing its own fortress, Hexenheim, and trapping its human host inside an idealized dream before replacing them in reality. Should this infection spiral into a full-scale pandemic, it is believed that the real world would also fall into severe chaos.

〇 Candy Revealed in the latter half of the story to be the true form of the Nega-Virus. It has no biological infectivity, but symbolizes how fear and anxiety can “spread like a virus.” In the real world, it circulates as an urban legend: a “wish-granting candy.” Countless variations—many of them fakes—are traded and shared. Its ingredients are completely ordinary, except for one unsettling detail: the inside of each wrapper is stained with a reddish-black mark.

〇 Shadows The series’ familiar concept—“the unconscious self,” as defined in Jungian psychology. In Reverse Rikan, they function as reflections of human minds, deeply linked to their real-world counterparts. In this concept, Shadows appear not only as enemy mobs but also as allies who support the protagonist’s group. Only Persona-users are capable of defeating and treating both Infected and Lesion Shadows.

[ratatouille4]

Setting

〇 Rikan Academy City（理館学園都市） The main setting of the story—a cutting-edge academy city built on an artificial island. Its medical sector is no exception, supported by partnerships with major corporations both domestic and international since its founding about twenty years ago. The station area is filled with AR advertisements, the arcades feature VR games, and security drones patrol the skies. The name “Rikan” is a deliberate Japanese homophone: it shares the pronunciation of the medical term for “falling ill,” but uses different characters as a form of wordplay woven into the setting.

〇 Rikan Academy High School（私立理館学園高等部） The school attended by the protagonist and their friends. Part of a full educational system from elementary to university levels, its school color is blue-green. Cleaning robots patrol the halls, classes use tablets instead of textbooks, and digital blackboards and remote lessons are standard. The uniforms draw heavily from medical aesthetics: – A zip-up mandarin-collar jacket inspired by clinical wear – A zip-up collarless jacket Bottoms—both slacks and jumper skirts—feature a modernized kanoko (fawn-spot) pattern blended with a cellular motif. Many female students choose slacks in winter for warmth.

〇Reverse Rikan（ウラリカン） A dream-accessible counterpart to the real academy city, serving as the living realm of the Shadows. Once bright and clear, the sky has faded into a dull purple-gray. The Shadows, living in fear of the Nega-Virus, wear masks and maintain distance from one another—an anxious society mirroring the human world.

〇 Hexenheim The fortress created when a Shadow’s Nega-Virus infection reaches its critical stage. The name comes from German for “gingerbread house.” Each one manifests as the physical form of the host’s ideal dream—similar in concept to a Palace from Persona 5. Inside are “Doors of the Heart,” which open gradually as the party comes to better understand the human host. At the deepest chamber rests the Shadow and the dream-entranced human, confined within a canopy-bed-like cage. Because infected Shadows are neurotic and unstable, dialogue is impossible. When pushed into danger, they synchronize with their Hexenheim and transform into a colossal kaiju-like form.

〇 Velvet Room In this story, the Velvet Room is depicted as a space resembling a medical examination room. Its resident appears in the form of a nurse. Persona fusion is portrayed as prescribing medicine, training as hospitalization, turning Personas into items as modification surgery, and enhancement as a large-scale injection.

[ratatouille4]

Why Blue-Green?

Blue-green appears everywhere in modern medical settings— surgical scrubs, hospital rooms, even liquid soap dispensers.

It contrasts with the red of blood, creating a calming effect, and is widely associated with cleanliness and sterility.

Because my Persona 6 concept explores medical themes, I chose this color as the primary motif.

Story Overview

Full worldbuilding details are explained in the next section.

A hidden war against a mental pandemic, fought by high school students using a school club as a cover. This is not an institution—it’s youth fighting in secrecy.

The protagonist, having lost their memories in a traffic accident, transfers into the high-school division of Rikan Academy City, a hub of cutting-edge medical technology. But shortly after arriving, they are guided by a health-monitoring A.I. and accidentally slip into a strange parallel realm known as Reverse Rikan—a distorted reflection of the city.

In this world, they awaken their Persona and learn of the Nega-Virus: a mysterious mental affliction that infects Shadows—manifestations of the human psyche. Infected Shadows become unstable and violent. When the infection deepens, a Shadow forms its own fortress, Hexenheim, eventually trapping its human host inside an idealized dream and replacing them in reality.

Reverse Rikan now stands on the brink of a full-scale pandemic. To save the victims, the protagonist teams up with other newly awakened allies. By day, they belong to the Special Effects (SFX) Club—a harmless school club on the surface. By night, they act as its covert branch, the Spec Ops Club, operating as an anonymous diagnostic team working to cure the spreading mental plague.

However— behind the Nega-Virus lies something far more unsettling: the quiet influence of a mysterious drug-candy circulating in the shadows.

This is a story about youth caught between unreasonable illness and the dreams they wish they could live in—and finding the strength to face both.
