Version 1.3.1
App update 1.3.0 introduced a bug where some players would encounter issues progressing into the story after chapter 5. This was fixed in the newly released 1.3.1 update. If you've encountered this issue, please update your app to 1.3.1.
A new app version 1.3.1 will be mandatory by December, 23rd @ 1PM (JST). To compensate for the issue, every player will be sent 50 Loveca Stars. (delivered from December, 23rd @ 1PM)
Fox in P5X
(last updated 2/19/26!)
Yusuke Kitagawa is primarily present as a Phantom Idol, or cognitive teammate. He has not yet made any appearance in the main story, outside of his lines during the Sae Palace escape intro cutscene.
In the P5 Collab’s Museum Chapter, Wonder's group runs into trouble shortly after entering the museum, but is rescued by Fox and Panther. Fox quickly bonds with Soy, after Fox mentions that he hasn't really eaten all day, and Soy promises to make him some ramen once they get out of the Metaverse.
He's very open about his backstory with Madarame, and is generally one of the first to point out distinct similarities and differences between the museum and Madarame's Palace. He also tends to take the direct approach as far as their plans go, including being in favor of just stepping through the infrared security lasers to steal what they think is the Core, and later suggesting they go right into attacking the guard of the real Core.
Yusuke can also be found in Leblanc in the real world, which Wonder is for some reason capable of crossing worlds to visit. He won’t appear until Wonder has been rescued by him and Panther in the Museum Chapter, but seems to have been looking forward to meeting him when they are eventually at Leblanc at the same time, and asks to draw him. Yusuke otherwise tends to talk about his art (and food, or lack thereof).
Fox’s Persona Goemon is categorized as an Ice type, and resists Ice while being weak to Fire.
Goemon is a Sweeper Persona, meaning he’s good at dealing with groups of enemies, and his trait gives him a chance to counterattack whenever he takes damage. His first ice attack skill hits all enemies and is guaranteed to freeze one; his second ice attack skill deals five hits to random enemies, prioritizing those that haven't been hit yet (doing less damage with each subsequent hit to the same enemy), and does more damage if Fox is shielded; and his support skill guarantees he will counter the next attack to hit him (or he will counter at the end of the round automatically anyway), while also strengthening his counter and making it hit all enemies instead of just the one that attacked. Yusuke also gets a shield, and temporarily stops being weak to fire, becomes immune to mental status effects, and taunts all enemies for the duration of this skill. His passive skills cause shields to boost his damage, and increase his ability to penetrate enemy shields whenever he gives himself a shield.
As in P5, his melee weapon is a katana, while his ranged weapon is an assault rifle. His Highlight is shown from 1:05-1:17 in this video, and it hits all enemies with an ice attack, and boosts Fox's chance of counterattacking.
His recommended card sets are 1) 4 of Cups (Opulence) + Princess of Coins (Growth), 2) 2 of Swords (Peace) + Princess of Wands (Acceptance).
The game recommends teaming him up with 1) Yuki and Puppet, 2) Rin, 3) Mont.
Yusuke currently has one costume available, exclusive to the Japan/US/Europe ("global") region: a butler outfit (added in Version 1,2, available in Marthym's store for Meta Jewels). The differences that come with the costume are purely cosmetic.
New user profile assets- a background with Marthym and another with what appears to be Yusuke and Makoto, and a character-specific border for Marthym.
The icon for spending time with Haruna (presumably unlocked after finishing her side story, as with Minami) was added in the Version 1.3.1 files!
New shadows/Personas added in Version 1.3.1!
Someone in the comments of Faz’s video on the Madarame fight (X) said that the name of the “demon” form isn’t called Azazel but rather “Dvesa” (Aversion or Hate), and this rings true for Asmodeus too, being Rāga, meaning attachment or desire.
Both of these are members of the 5 Kleshas from both Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism, with the other three being Pride, Envy, and Ignorance, with an additional sixth being Doubt.
Ah, yes, sorry if I was unclear in my summary posts, I wasn't necessarily trying to call them by the names Asmodeus and Azazel, since they're not actually Shadow Kamoshida and Shadow Madarame! I was just saying the shadows they fought took forms that looked similar to those two, and referring to those by their proper names rather than the much longer "monstrous Shadow Kamoshida" and "monstrous Shadow Madarame", heh.
That said, good catch finding that in the comments! It is interesting that there's only up to six of those, though. Seems like something might get weird/break the pattern at some point, or perhaps there won't be one for Shido's Palace (and its hypothetical equivalent) because no new teammates join? Very curious to see what they do with that. I'll update the posts to mention these names!
Little question, to do the crossover events do you need to be on pair with the story mode? Lets say that in a hypotetical future english relase im still at the start of the second arc but the Madarame palace crossover is open, could i play that?
That's a good question!
I believe every event update post has clarified the only requirement to start an event is unlocking the ability to go to the Metaverse, which also unlocks the Event function in the first place. I know for sure this was the case with the Castle Chapter, and I just scrolled back to the update notes from when the Bank Chapter was added, and it said the same thing. I believe I remember that being stated as the case for the Museum Chapter as well, and I don't know why any future collab chapters would change that, especially since they're limited-time events.
The only reason I could imagine them changing that for later chapters is if there's somehow spoilers for more of the story plot than just the next teammate and a few details of the next Palace.
