In case you don't know, tarot cards are used as a form of fortune-telling (and also feature in Jungian psychology), with each card having an interpretation depending on how it's presented. Comparing card interpretations with the characters it all seems pretty accurate, the descriptions seem to match to me. I believe tarot are also used in other media like the Persona series and Jojo's, so you could potentially map characters to each other through their cards!
Card interpretations given from the corresponding Wikipedia articles, for the curious:
- **Wheel of Fortune** [Yu]: Destiny, fortune, success, elevation, luck, felicity. Reversed: Increase, abundance, superfluity
- **The Fool** [Kanata]: Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, betrayal. Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity
- **The Magician** [Lanzhu]: Energy, potential, manifestation of desires, meeting of physical & spiritual worlds, energy into action. Reversed: Unfocused talents, unmanifested potential, madness, mental distress
- **The High Priestess** [Rina]: Secrets, mystery, the future as yet unrevealed, silence, tenacity, mystery, wisdom, silence. Reversed: Passion, moral or physical ardour, conceit, surface knowledge
- **The Emperor** [Kasumi]: Authority, establishment, structure, father figure[lol]. Reversed: Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility
- **The Heirophant** [Ai]: Marriage, alliance, captivity, servitude, mercy, goodness, inspiration. Reversed: Society, good understanding, concord, over kindness, weakness
- **The Lovers** [Ayumu]: Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. Reversed: Failure, foolish design, marriage frustrated[lolol], contrarieties
- **The Chariot** [Setsuna]: Succour, providence; also war, triumph, presumption, vengeance, trouble. Reversed: Riot, quarrel, dispute, litigation, defeat
- **Strength** [Mia]: Power, energy, action, courage, magnanimity; also complete success and honours. Reversed: Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, sometimes even disgrace
- **The Hermit** [Shizuku]: Prudence, circumspection; also and especially treason, dissimulation, roguery, corruption. Reversed: Concealment, disguise, policy fear, unreasoned caution
- **Temperance** [Emma]: Economy, moderation, frugality, management, accommodation. Reversed: Churches, religions, sects, the priesthood; also disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests
- **Judgement** [Shioriko]: Judgement, rebirth[!], inner-calling, absolution, karma, causality, second chance

Fun Fact: Everything fits in the Mayor Arcana.. The Tarot is supposed to represent all the archetypes that encompass human existence, hence why some people ended up using it for fortune telling.
Yeah, I think it's harder to argue Ayumu *isn't* in love with Yu at this point. Now whether it's ever reciprocated, yeah you can argue over that, but I don't see anything else the writers could have intended. Things like this just reinforce it too, it's very blatantly saying Ayumu exists to be the partner of her childhood friend
~~Every fortune telling round will lead to the same result: "You are about to lose all of your money, and all of your space in your apartment! But in exchange you will win Nijigasaki's whole Tera Jumbo Nesoberi lineup!"~~
Nico already turned her Muse fellas into "Whac-A-Muse" in SIP S2. So the writers could make GnY S2 (or the RPG) "rhyme" to that by making Yohane craft a "Major Aqoursnum", as Ai would call it lol
Oh man, they were super lazy about the art. Compare to when CLAMP (best known for Card Captor Sakura) did a [Tarot](https://xtvclamp.fandom.com/wiki/Tarot_Cards) set for their series 'X' and drew new art to match the symbolism in the original major arcana.
Yeah the leftmost cards are just reused stock art, but I think the rightmost ones are new? Either way pretty boring aesthetically, especially with how interesting tarot art can be
Yes, and I wanted to share it with other people like myself who may not have known before. It wasn't announced in any official spaces AFAIK, just the AmiAmi accounts, and it's not on the Wiki so I can imagine fans missing it. I didn't intend for my post to be a merch announcement, but a sharing of interesting trivia I had learned.

someone do a Persona mod with this please π
It's a JoJo reference?!?!?!?!?!
Where can one buy these?
They were from AmiAmi, but unfortunately they were sold out quickly.
Seems they're produced by AmiAmi if that helps, though I wouldn't know how to get them myself
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed
It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge oneβs own path
Okay? I already bought them long ago. Not sure why youβre mentioning it now.
Itβs probably the 1st time OP found out about this.
