refers to Tsukiji, a district of Chūō, Tokyo. For many residents and visitors to Tokyo, the Central Wholesale Market, better known as the Tsukiji fish market, is synonymous with sushi, sashimi and seafood products of every kind, referencing Morgana's passion for sushi. Through the Mementos arc, Morgana finds purpose in parting, as though he tried to leave pointlessly before only to be met with hesitation over his attachment, once getting rid of Mementos becomes a necessity (which will cause Morgana to disappear and cut ties with the party for good,) he takes it with little to no hesitation aside from preparing himself to make this heavy choice. It is through his loyalty to the group that he's able to fulfill his purpose of sacrificing himself for their sake, while preserving his tight bonds of trust with the group as a safety rope.

Eventually, Morgana tries to force himself to fit in the group, forcing himself to act as a dependable Phantom Thief and a rolemodel, all while being unforgiving of others for their laziness. He would even suppress his own fears of who he might be, outright lying to himself that he's human. Morgana would offer that he and the protagonist return to handling their money, only for Makoto to offer managing Ryuji, Ann and Yusuke, letting her take over; this concludes Morgana's role in the chapter. The story ends with the protagonist returning to managing them after a discussion.

The model of Morgana's anthropomorphic form has retractable claws from his hands. Whether they're used in-game is unclear. [70] When Yaldabaoth tries to muffle their voices and rid all hope from the Phantom Thieves by using force, Morgana stands up for everyone and declares that they're not going to give up until the bitter end. His words of determination reach the public, making them remember the Phantom Thieves, before they motivate each-other into cheering for the Phantom Thieves. [q 68] [q 69] This proves that the people do not want Yaldabaoth to rule above them, and he can no longer use force or control against them. [q 70] [q 71] Unlike other members of the group, no matter how spiteful or mean-spirited Morgana tries to parade himself as, his attempts never work and are never convincing; same goes for his rude and arrogant way of speaking. Otherwise, his own attempts at being kind and even his advances towards Ann, are not only unrequited but also unnoticed. Even though Morgana is detrimental for the team thanks to his skills and knowledge of the Metaverse, they simply don't make him a complete person, so for the most part his entry in the group is with reluctance, though he ends up overstaying his welcome. In Persona 5, due to a design oversight, when the protagonist didn't have free time during the evening, when Morgana telegraphed he was too tired to go out, it would appear as if Morgana was making the protagonist sleep in; which would sometimes clash with the mood of the current situation or even have Morgana himself break character, as he would bluntly and adamantly tell him to sleep.

Some inspirations involved in the design process are Perman. As it's one of Soejima's favorite shows, Morgana was designed with the same mask in mind. [7] Additionally, the key point of Morgana's design is his mask. [5] Morgana would keep that a secret from the other members, but would confide to the protagonist about it, as well as his doubts on how he might not turn out to be human in the end. The protagonist reassures Morgana that he will, albeit leaving him dissatisfied with his response. The protagonist and Ryuji's debate on whether Morgana's human is also relevant, and both generally use the Kanji meaning of the word: while the protagonist believes in Morgana being human, Ryuji is skeptical because of his appearance: however, Ryuji's words are flat, meaning he's referring to Morgana being nothing like human: during his apology to Morgana on 9/17, he'd use this blunt way of speaking while saying "he doesn't mind if he's not human," hence the drastically negative response. [67]In Persona 5 Royal, while driving Morgana in his van form in Mementos, gently rubbing the touchpad on the PS4 controller will make Morgana purr. Pressing it firmly, on the other hand, will make him meow in protest. Both of these sound clips come directly from the controller's speakers. Morgana would return to his usual self for a while: such as getting himself pumped up to take down the instigator of the mental shutdowns, or actively being protective of Futaba and being supportive of the Phantom Thieves. [34] [q 37] [q 38] [q 39] [35] [36] Later, Morgana acts as a sound signal when Kazuya Makigami and his gang raid Café Leblanc. Morgana helps fight Kazuya in the Mementos and delivers the key to Naoya Makigami. Either way, Ryuji will turn to look at Morgana like the others, followed by a double exclamation mark, and Ryuji's aforementioned remark. During the protagonist's daily life segments of the game, Morgana will almost always speak for the protagonist, but still talking as a 2nd person in their dialogue. This characterizes the fact that, from the protagonist's point of view, he's bound to Morgana, but it's presented from a positive perspective, as Morgana is actively kind and considerate towards him.

Persona 5 x Kyoutou Kotoba RPG: Kotodaman Collaboration Trailer, Starts on March 5, 2019. Persona Central (Reggy, March 4th, 2019) The day after, Morgana finds them again at the castle's entrance. He's asked by Ryuji to guide him towards the other students imprisoned within the castle. He does so, under the pretense of expecting them to return the favor, but after filling his end of the bargain, the two are only left confused, as they've never actually agreed to helping him. Morgana would not take the hint, and would think they've made him for a fool as they leave. After infiltrating Maruki's Palace and defeating Adam Kadmon, Morgana transforms into a helicopter so the party can escape the collapsing debris. After the protagonist is dragged down by a powerless Maruki for a final stand, he departs both of them alongside the rest of the thieves out of Odaiba. Once the protagonist has been released from juvenile hall, Morgana will return soon after. Unlike the base game's ending, however, Morgana no longer wishes to become human. It was then revealed that the star that Jose gave to the protagonist was what triggered Morgana's transformation, giving the last of its power to transform Morgana into a helicopter, losing its luster.

Morgana's Showtime with Ann Takamaki in Persona 5 Royal, after Morgana's "confessed his love" to Ann. The Phantom Thieves then return to Tokyo, which has been fused with Mementos. Although a majority of the public has forgotten the Phantom Thieves exist, as Morgana is able to emit a special glow now that he's remembered his purpose, some nearby bystanders actually notice the Phantom Thieves' presence. [q 67] Also, Morgana would be more concerned with the justice of society, actively disgusted by the criminals they've had to target and the people they've hurt, but would also be disappointed in the members of the public for not having the courage to speak up against them, finding them to be weak. In the 3rd event, Makoto tries to gather any additional skills they could use in their Phantom Thief missions, albeit she never gets anything that applies directly in her context, as Morgana instead brings up his gourmet skills. Makoto has him dig deeper, as he remembers and remarks his undying loyalty to those that have won his trust. Although at first he doubts if his devotion is too much, he is reassured that his isn't detrimental. Morgana's Rank 10 Confidant message is "I can sense Morgana's trust in me...", or translated to "I feel strong trust from Morgana" (モルガナからの強い信頼を感じる *) ?. [41]

In "Tokyo Daylight" ( ATLUS Kozuka Remix), Morgana replicates real-life activities, such as summoning via clapping, eating with utensils and dancing with a partner, relating to a theme of a life of luxury. All of the dances with partners are purely with the intent of entertainment. That being said, Morgana has a strong and assertive sense of honor and morality; roughly he believes in facing reality while having hope for the future and to change things, as well as having faith in the potential of others, humans especially; though strict, he is especially forgiving. At several instances where the Phantom Thieves' actions are condemned by the public, especially by Goro Akechi himself, while the rest of the group is doubting themselves, Morgana immediately dismisses their opinion for the sake of his faith that he and the others can decide their justice for themselves, encouraging them in the process. This dexterity is prominent with Morgana, no matter how underlying, as his capabilities become technical, such as by understanding the core functions of the Metaverse, as well as knowing how to craft and teach how to make infiltration tools, in addition to using them for himself. Morgana truly yearns to be reliable and independent. Soejima believes that a mascot characters's duty is to be loved by everyone, so he designed Morgana based on that idea. He decided to make Morgana a cat based on the "thief cat" concept, which refers to cats entering other people's houses to steal food. [5] [43] Morgana can also write in spite of his paws, as he's apparently written a calling card for Shinya Oda in his Confidant.

If partnered with Ann, the same scenario as Futaba's will occur. Instead, she will be doing her own routine entirely, but invites Morgana to support her. The general composition of Morgana's dance is nearly the same as Futaba's. The cinematography is handled so that the attention is evenly shared between both characters. During Kaneshiro's Palace, Morgana is outright secretive of his worries about what he could be, but would later privately admit to the protagonist that he really might not turn out to be human. Again, Morgana's facade seals that fact away. Morgana would also receive a life-size mascot costume, which would be used during various public events, and he would also partake as a representative in collaboration with other companies and brands, Jagariko being one commonplace. Morgana has a special relationship with the protagonist. While Morgana would gradually heal and come out of his shell, the protagonist would always be the first person he turns to. [q 3] Aside from the two taking care of one-another, Morgana would eventually realize he belongs with the protagonist, and the both would become devoted enough to risk their lives for one-another. [12] [q 4] Morgana would sympathize with his situation of being falsely accused. [q 5] [q 6] [q 7] [q 8] Over the course of the story, Morgana would perceive potential within the protagonist, which would only appear as just a coincidence, but would soon realize he's special as if destiny is on his side. [q 9] [q 10] [q 11] [q 7] Morgana's support is requited by the protagonist, who is not only grateful towards Morgana as a friend, but is also understanding of his insecurities, and is shown to be supportive towards him facing his fear of falling short. [q 12] [q 13] According to Ryuji, Morgana would never give up on the protagonist. [q 14] Yusuke even emphasizes on how close they are by describing that should Morgana become human, he may "end up just like the protagonist." [q 15] Morgana has been frank with his thoughts on the attic: although he finds it to be messy, "drab" or generally abysmal, Morgana begins to appreciate the attic as it's where he wants to stay, at one point even calling it a "comfy little room." [12] [q 16] [q 17] From a purely psychological standpoint as well as in retrospect to Jungian psychology and its relevance to the Persona series, Morgana's existence is a direct offspring of the collective unconscious, a deeper level of the human unconscious that is shared between all of mankind.
