SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Can wall jump.
--The rebellion gauge increases when Joker (or any of his teammates in a Team Battle) is damaged or KO'd. Once Arsene is out, though, the gauge drains gradually, faster when Joker is damaged.
--If Joker holds 1st place in a team battle, none of his teammates will appear on the results screen.
--Despite obviously being a projectile by all logical definitions of the word, Gun functions as a disjoint hitbox.
--Arsene is actually Joker's initial & weakest persona in P5, & is modeled after the literary thief character Arséne Lupin.
--He's a picker, he's a grinner, he's a lover, & he's a sinner.

Congratulations to Joker on all his Oscar nominations!

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
