Vanishing Act is a completed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Persona 5 crossover by Shocker, where the invisible baby becomes a Phantom Thief of Heart.The long version: In a World… that wasn't reset by Made in Heaven, Joseph Joestar has died. With his wife also dead the bulk of his inheritance falls to his adopted daughter, Shizuka Joestar. Originally the invisible baby from Diamond Is Unbreakable, Shizuka has grown into a (usually) visible teenage girl. With her father's business rivals gunning for her inheritance Shizuka decides to lay low in Tokyo for awhile.And so, the day after he awakens his Persona, a new student transfers to Akira Kurusu's class. While he can feel that there is something different about Shizuka, Akira has more important things to worry about. But that changes when Shizuka saves a student with her Stand, leading them all into a new bizarre adventure...After several years, a semi-sequel/expansion Vanishing Act - The Royal Chapters (AO3 link) focusing on the Royal content was posted.

Mutually Exclusive Magic: If one has a Stand or a Persona, they can't have a Shadow or a Palace. This is why Shizuka's Plan B for Sae Nijima's Shadow going berserk is to stab her with the Stand Arrow, giving her a Stand and instantly removing her Shadow.

The Cameo: Rohan makes a brief appearance in Chapter 16. Turns out Ryuji and Shiho read Pink Dark Boy. His presence actually speeds up the Madarame arc when he points out Madarame's a fake. He appears again in Chapter 26 where he watches Madarame's confession. Koichi and Okuyasu show up in Chapter 48, and Hol Horse of all people gets a scene in Chapter 55. Giorno Giovana makes a brief appearance near the end of the story and puts his faith in the Phantom Thieves. The rest of the Investigation Team (Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji and Teddie) also show up in a later chapter, watching the events from the Amagi Inn.

Wrong Context Magic: Shizuka is initially this from the perspective of Akira, Ryuji, and Morgana, as to them it looks like she has a Persona that she can freely summon in reality. Shizuka also initially thinks Personas are really strange Stands. Eventually they all start cottoning on to the fact that Personas and Stands are really different things.

The Voice: Mr. A, the crime boss of Tokyo, takes pains to keep his identity a secret. If he has to directly communicate to an underling he calls them on the phone from a number that can't be identified. The narration notes he might not even be a single man. When he finally appears, he is a real man and a very deadly Stand user.

Cool Shades: Shizuka is almost constantly wearing sunglasses of various types. Her adoptive father made it a tradition of giving her a pair on her birthday (and since he's now dead she won't be getting any new ones), and damaging them is a very severe Berserk Button for her on par with insulting her brother's hair.

Downplayed with how Akira reacted to Shizuka's Stand. He confronts her on it after seeing it saving Shiho and she reveals it, knowing that if he's able to see it, that'd make him a Stand User. Obviously, she's wrong in that regard.

Chekhov's Gun: At the end of Chapter 53 The Man Behind the Man realizes that things are going Off the Rails and responds by making something start growing in Mementos. The letter opener Akechi gave Sae as a gift. We only learn many chapters later why it needed to be so sharp - to have Sae assassinate her boss after Akechi inflicts a breakdown on her. In Shizuka's fight against Paradise City, she uses her light powers to render him blind. She does the same thing against Shido.

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Shizuka says the rules tend to become flexible when enough cash is splashed. But she does admit to feeling a little bad about doing it. Happens when Sugimura gets rough with Haru in front of Shizuka, who breaks his nose in retaliation. Shizuka can tell he's a rich boy, but tells him that she is not the kind of girl who he should play the money game against, being a Joestar and all.

Mythology Gag
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Shizuka has her own Confidant arc, as if she was actually in the video game itself. She even has her own Confidant ability, which enables the other Phantom Thieves to, with some training, summon their Personas in reality. In Chapter 16, Shizuka notes that Rohan Kishibe seemingly hasn't aged a day since she first met him. This is a reference to Jojo creator Hirohiko Araki (who Rohan is a loose Author Avatar of). Shizuka even references the "secretly a vampire" meme. In Chapter 49 Shadow Okumura tells the Phantom Thieves if he had more time he could ascend to the political world. This subtly references his "Utopia"/escape plan from canon. Since the Phantom Thieves attacked ahead of schedule, the plan isn't done yet. In Chapter 50, the Execurobo MDL-ED uses it's Big Bang Challenge attack, but it misses when the Thieves attack it first. When Akira asks if everyone's alright, Morgana says he's kinda hungry - a reference to the status effect the Big Bang Challenge attack causes in-game. In Chapter 54, Morgana tells Akira he's feeling useless and Akira reassures him. And then... Hifumi getting a stand and Shizuka wanting her to join the Arditi is one to how Hifumi was originally meant to be a member of the thieves until she was Demoted to Extra due to the game already taking way too long. Akira making his new artificial hand go into strange positions is a reference to how Joseph himself did the same thing when he first got his artificial hand. Futaba mentions that Raidou reminds her of Jotaro, a reference to them sharing an English VA in Matthew Mercer. The Wicked Star arc takes its name from a chapter in Eyes of Heaven's story. The final chapter of Wicked Star sees Sojiro reveal that he's caught on about the romance between Akira and Futaba. The narration makes a blatant reference to what happened to Kars. Nero's appearance in Omake 6 is a reference to his uncle's guest appearance in the SMT series.

comment
Parental Abandonment: Shizuka's birth parents abandoned her as a baby for unclear reasons. Notably, no-one was looking for a missing baby when Joseph found her. On top of that, her adoptive parents are both dead when the fic begins. The prime suspect is her barely escaping a Kira murder, and SID research and a dirty trick from Mannish Boy point to this being the case.

comment
Guile Hero: Shizuka was raised and taught by the biggest Guile Hero of canon Jojo, Joseph Joestar, so she fights by using unconventional tactics and the environment, coupled with her invisibility powers. Joseph would be proud. Akira is one, as befitting the Trickster, but he's also a variation. Whereas Shizuka fights with her wits, Akira commands with them. In battle, he manages his teammates' actions and prepares overall strategy.

The Dreaded: Mr. A is this for Kaneshiro, as he instantly turns from tough arrogant crimeboss to scared stammering child when talking to the enigmatic Mr. A. Like in canon, Jotaro is this to Stand users who know about them. Both Mr. A, and the associate he considers to be his main counter against Jotaro, admit that they'd rather have an entire continent between them if possible.

Bland-Name Product: An example where the bland name version coexists with the original. The narration for Chapter 11 explains the Wilton Hotel from canon Persona 5 should not be confused with the real-life Hilton Hotel chain. Parodied later when the group are talking about Destinyland, and Shizuka gets interrupted repeatedly when she asks if they mean Disneyland. The experience confuses her greatly.

Hidden Depths: Shiho, the soft-spoken Nice Girl from canon, shows she has an aggressive streak after awakening her Persona. She outright says she'll kick Kamoshida's ass. On the surface, Shizuka appears incredibly cocky and wry. But beneath that she's a cauldron of worries and insecurities, stemming from her heroic lineage and her uncertainty about her birth parents.

Force and Finesse
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_2f3668fa
comment
Force and Finesse: Generally speaking, Personae and Stands can be described as such. Personae have a large repertoire of direct, powerful elemental attacks and all pack a mean physical punch, with some specialising more in healing, status effects or navigation. Stands, on the other hand, have a singular trick that can be leveraged for maximum combat effectiveness like invisibility or trap generation, and not all of them are physically powerful, though they certainly can be. Shizuka describes the difference between them like this in Chapter 77.

You Can See Me?: Downplayed with how Akira reacted to Shizuka's Stand. He confronts her on it after seeing it saving Shiho and she reveals it, knowing that if he's able to see it, that'd make him a Stand User. Obviously, she's wrong in that regard. An inversion. In Chapter 41 Shizuka makes her Stand appear in front of Akechi. His startled reaction is all she needs to confirm he's a Stand or Persona-user. Another inversion in Chapter 59, when Hifumi is surprised to see Sergio and Shizuka's Stands.

Adapted Out: The Piggytron mech battle. Shadow Kaneshiro tries to summon it, but Sergio has none of that and breaks the vault it... is. By repeatedly smacking Shadow Kaneshiro into it. Due to the Arditi catching onto Akechi's facade early on before he approached them to lure them into Sae's palace and Sae being saved from Akechi's use of "Call of Chaos" on her via a Stand Arrow, the canonical Gambit Roulette where Akira had himself arrested to the police and bank on convincing Sae to help them didn't get to happen here.

Later, he discuss the possibility of her parents having been killed by Kira outside of town and Shizuka awakening to her Stand powers by her desire to hide from him. It's implied that Satoshi found a truth he didn't want to know when he went searching for Mr A's identity.

She has also adopted some of Joseph's personality traits, as noted under Shared Family Quirks. At the same time, she is still grieving over the deaths of her parents, wonders why she was abandoned as a baby, and feels her family is far more amazing than she is.

In this fic, she merely asks them, promising that she had no intention of turning them in. The main reason for this is Shizuka being part of the Arditi. Her being Makoto's Only Friend, she can't bring herself to turn her in.

Chapter 30 has a subtle one. Akira's Confidant with Shizuka is the Aeon Arcana, and in this chapter he reveals his first Aeon Persona, Camazotz. Camazotz is from Mayan Mythology, referencing the Mayincatec Stone Mask and Pillar Men from Jojo... and possibly also Persona 2. Camzotz was an enemy in that game, and its mythological home Xibalba played a role in the plot.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In Chapter 19, upon hearing that Palace security measures are likely to get tougher in the future, Ann exclaims "What is this? A videogame?" Technically, it isn't but it's based on one. The Running Gag where Akira gets compared to the Persona 3 and 4 protagonists. In Chapter 27, Shizuka tells the others the history of the Joestar family. The characters' reactions to various scenes mirror that of many of Jojo readers. In Chapter 41, the Phantom Thieves divide themselves into two groups to take on two Palaces at once. Ann says it feels weird, referencing that this doesn't happen in the game. In Chapter 54 suggests Shizuka keeps random junk in her pockets like any JRPG character. For some reason, Yukari is the only one who comment on Speedwagon's full name. Due to the effects of Sing You Sinners, Makoto ends up 'staring at the camera' without realising it.

Everybody Knew Already: In-universe, the secret identities of the Phantom Thieves are rather easy to guess. Makoto figured it out because she correctly thought Ryuji was behind the first calling card, while Naoto just needed to look for Kamoshida's most prominent victims. Other parties are pretty sure Shizuka is a Phantom Thief, simply because she's a Joestar. Notably, Jotaro and Jolyne seemed to figure out Shizuka and her friends were the Phantom Thieves instantly.

They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason: Due to butterflies, the Arditi suspect that Futaba's mother was murdered even before they enter Futaba's Palace. However, Akira feels it's a bad idea to tell Futaba due to her emotional problems and decides to wait until they steal her heart. He ends up telling Futaba the truth when she enters her Palace, as he believes it could stop Cognitive Wakaba.

Spanner in the Works: Shizuka Joestar is a major factor in the major diverting points of the story. Her friendship with Makoto smooths over the latter's introduction to the group. Recruiting more members (Shiho and Sergio), as well as meeting Haru early, allowed the Phantom Thieves to scout out two Palaces at the same time, which really screws up Akechi's plan to murder Okumura. Her knowledge on Stands allows her to find other users to help the Phantom Thieves (some unofficially like Lifeson, others officially like Sergio and Hifumi). She also makes back-up plans like the idea to use a Stand Arrow to counteract a mental shutdown if things went south. But sometimes things happen beyond her control, like Yusuke still being offended enough to force Ann to model nude for them to come back to Madarame's shack.

Meaningful Echo: Before they enter Kamoshida's Palace for the last time, Shizuka recites the motto of what would become the Phantom Thieves' namesake: "We either win, or we all die".

comment
Meaningful Name: Shizuka renames Achtung Baby to Houdini for this fic, this fits the naming criteria for Stands as Houdini is the name of a song by Foster the People, but it ALSO fits the the Persona theme of tricksters and "rebels from society" for Persona 5 as per this article about Harry Houdini himself: here. The name of Shiho's Persona, Aradia, also fits, on more than one level. Akira names the Phantom Thieves after the Arditi, an Italian special forces unit in World War I. It's explained in story their name meant "The Daring Ones". Also their motto, which Shizuka quotes, translates to "We either win, or we all die". A motto that may prove prophetic if canon Persona 5 was any indication... Shizuka's middle name turns out to be Elizabeth, after Joseph's mother Elizabeth Joestar a.k.a. Lisa Lisa.

They split in three teams after Akechi provoke a psychotic breakdown on Sae, one to fight her Shadow, other to implement plan B and the last one to follow the escaping Akechi. The team also splits into two to deal with the last members of the Deadly Aspects, the final barrier between them and Mr. A.

Named by the Adaptation
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_71748a39
comment
Named by the Adaptation: The Persona 5 protagonist is named Akira Kurusu, after the manga adaptation. When Vanishing Act started in April 2017, this was the closest the protagonist had to a Canon Name. In Persona 5 proper there's a scene where the player enters a name for the Phantom Thieves team, though in practice they're called the Phantom Thieves of Hearts in spoken dialogue. When the aforementioned scene comes up in the fic, Akira decides on the name "The Arditi, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts". The Arditi were an Italian group of special forces soldiers in World War I. Akira picked the name because Shizuka quoted the Arditi's motto before the heist of Kamoshida's treasure, having heard of it from her mother Suzi Q. Interestingly, the Persona 3 protagonist is referred to as "Minato", his name from the manga adaptation. Kaneshiro's nightclub is named "Club Decadence". Joining the trend is the SIU Director, dubbed Arisawa.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Shizuka meets and becomes friends with Haru Okumura during the Madarame arc, when in-game you won't even see her until after the third dungeon. While it's not a person, Akira ends up getting Sae's Judgement Confidant well before its canonical appearence. Also, the Phantom Thieves learn about and discuss the death of Wakaba Isshiki before the canonical Medjed arc begins. Haru's fiance appears in chapter 39, leading to the Phantom Thieves entering Okumura's Palace. Haru ends up entering said palace and learning the identities of the Phantom Thieves.

You Can't Fight Fate: Implied with regards to Jotaro, given the nature of fate in JJBA. Boingo's Stand foretold that Jotaro would die by getting his face split in half. And while he managed to barely avoid this fate on at least three occasions (Oingo's initial attempt at killing him, being attacked by Kira's Bites the Dust in Part 4, and just barely beating Pucci in this story), he can't shake the feeling that he's only living on borrowed time.

In canon, Shiho Suzui is Put on a Bus after her attempted suicide.

And then she gains a Persona and joins the Phantom Thieves as Nemesis.

Not all of the changes are positive though. The presence of Stand users brings Mr. A and his Stand-using criminal ring into the mix giving the Thieves another enemy they have to face. Also, Yaldabaoth starts stepping up his game in the face of the Thieves going off-script, first creating Camael, and then influencing the weak-minded so that it can temporarily manifest in the real world. And then Camael gets pierced by the Stand Arrow.

For Want of a Nail
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want of a Nail: Shizuka's presence has already had a butterfly effect on a few events. Most notably saving Shiho during her suicide attempt, leading to Shiho becoming a Phantom Thief. In general, the Phantom Thieves learn things faster than they did in canon. For example, Rohan explains that Madarame is stealing his students' paintings about a day before the canon Phantom Thieves figured it out themselves. Similarly, there's Makoto's reaction to learning the Phantom Thieves' identities. Because Shizuka befriended her earlier, Makoto simply asks Shizuka for help against the yakuza blackmailers. Due to a number of changes, Haru is met earlier and fully awakens her Persona right away. On that note, the part where Morgana leaves the Phantom Thieves doesn't happen. (Morgana even got some sushi!) Not all of the changes are positive though. The presence of Stand users brings Mr. A and his Stand-using criminal ring into the mix giving the Thieves another enemy they have to face. Also, Yaldabaoth starts stepping up his game in the face of the Thieves going off-script, first creating Camael, and then influencing the weak-minded so that it can temporarily manifest in the real world.

Deuteragonist: Akira and Shizuka are arguably each other's deuteragonist. Both characters share narrative focus and contribute much to the plot. Akira is still the Wild Card holder and leader of the Arditi, but Shizuka is the initial focus of the story and has her own plot that's somewhat divorced from the other Phantom Thieves.

Finger Poke of Doom: Sergio's Stand Breakthru works by imparting momentum into whatever it touches, so it doesn't actually need to punch anything to launch it; a simple and gentle tap of its knuckles is enough to send the touched object flying. In fact, the longer Breakthru touches an object, the more momentum he can impart.

Logical Weakness: As in the video game, Shadow Okumura sends out robot minions from the ceiling. The Thieves eventually realize they can attack the place the robots come from. Lars' Paper Master abilities fail him when Naoto soaks his armor with a fire extinguisher, and later when Shizuka catches him in a propane explosion. Touta's Stand, Bloody Sunday, only works in a very specific set of circumstances. Haru, knowing these circumstances, traps him in a position where he is unable to bring his full power to bear and subjects him to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.

In Chapter 16, Shizuka refers to the time she saved Rohan as a baby in Diamond in Unbreakable. She doesn't actually remember it, and Rohan never told her exactly what happened (probably because he used his Stand on her) but Shizuka gets the feeling Rohan saved her too.

Wham Episode: Chapter 51: The butterfly effect that Shizuka has had on the plot culminates in her foiling Akechi's attempt at murdering Okumura. The entire Daybreakers arc: The Arditi confront Akechi with evidence of his betrayal in the middle of Sae's Palace, which breaks out into a fight between them. Overwhelmed, Akechi resorts to forcing a psychotic breakdown on Sae, which the Arditi respond to by stabbing Sae with the Stand Arrow, giving her a Stand and thus destroying her Palace due to a lack of a Palace ruler. In the end, Akechi is defeated and Sae is let in on everything, but Yaldabaoth decides to start taking a more active role in the plot. Samael Shido (IV) and (V): Shadow Shido is still defeated, but Akira loses a hand during the battle, Morgana turns into a weird cocoon and in their rush to get Akira medical treatment, one of Mr. A's Stand assassins tracks the Arditi down to the Athena facility and Lars is sent with a strike force of Stand users to kill them all. The Indestructible Man In Black (IV): Mr. A and Shizuka have a one-on-one battle that ends in a seemingly Mutual Kill. After a Dying Speech, Shizuka awakens in front of the original Joestar mansion, greeted by Danny and Jonathan. Wicked Star (I): As Akira, S.E.E.S., Yu, Rise, Jotaro, Josuke, and Okuyasu attempt to find a way to free the rest of the Arditi from Camael's illusion, an old friend enters: Minato Arisato, back among the living.

Paranormal Investigation: The Stand Investigation Division, or SID, a subdivision of the Speedwagon Foundation that came into existence after the full scope of Kira's killing spree became known to the foundation. They primarily look into unsolved murders/disappearances that reek of Stand-user activities. Mitsuru's Shadow Operatives. After Madarame's confession she becomes convinced that something supernatural is going on, and tasks her own investigator to look into things: Naoto Shirogane.

Crazy Enough to Work

comment
Crazy Enough to Work: Shizuka wants to help Shiho recover from her psychological trauma. So she gets the brilliant idea to bring Shiho into Kamoshida's monster-infested Palace. Despite the many, many ways this could have gone wrong, it works - and Shiho ends up with her own Persona. Shizuka then does it again by bringing Makoto to Kaneshiro's Palace in order to make Makoto feel useful. It's even crazier this time because Kaneshiro didn't blackmail Makoto in this story, which means Makoto lacks the personal grievance that Shiho had. At one point even Makoto wonders why she's going along with it... but it works, again, and she gets her Persona. Ironically, when it's suggested the Phantom Thieves bring Haru into the Metaverse, Shizuka is against it... because she thinks Haru wouldn't hurt a fly.

You Remind Me of X: Several times, characters from previous Persona games will see Akira and think that he reminds them of their own protagonist, Yu Narukami or Minato Arisato.

This is also implied to be the full extent of Houdini's power, with visibility/invisibility hinging on the refraction of light. Shizuka uses this principle to temporarily blind Paradise City by keeping the light from entering his eyes. Its evolved form, Houdini Eclipse, can not only alter light and color to create illusions, but can absorb light and blast it out as Frickin' Laser Beams.

Evil Counterpart: Mr. A and his followers are this to the Phantom Thieves. Sanshiro describes them as all being outcasts like the thieves, coming from hard backgrounds. However rather than try to change society, they're of a mind that society can't be changed and would instead prefer to be at the top of the food chain. Also, Lars says he acts as an assassin because it gives him a place to belong - which is one of the motivations of the Phantom Thieves. Camael to Morgana. Both mysterious entities born in Mementos, with the former claiming to be born of something more powerful than hope. While Morgana has a Persona, Camael eventually gets a Stand.

Foreshadowing: In Chapter 24 it's mentioned Shizuka is looking at property listings. Chapter 27 reveals that she's actually rented a place for the Phantom Thieves to meet in. In Chapter 16 Makoto gets worried about Shizuka's choice of friends and decides she will protect her. The reader snickers to themselves. Many chapters later, Makoto awakens her Persona... to protect Shizuka. In the fifth interlude, Shizuka is described as wearing a Dark Side of the Moon T-shirt. In the chapter following her Stand evolves into Houdini Eclipse. There were several incidents over the course of the story where Akira's left hand was in grave danger. Shido tears it off during their last encounter.

Traumatic Superpower Awakening: As in canon, characters summon Personas by having an emotional reaction in the Metaverse. This story adds a new twist, though. With Shizuka's help, it's revealed Personas can be summoned in the real world by vividly remembering the event that awakened it.note Word of God explains that Morgana doesn't need to do this, referring to his in-universe claim of being on a different level. However, keeping it summoned in reality is mentally taxing.

Continuity Nod: In the anime adaptation of Stardust Crusaders, Iggy's Heroic Sacrifice was accompanied by the following narration: "But Stands are the soul’s manifestation. Iggy’s soul had moved on its own. It had no choice but to move!". In Chapter 6, when Shizuka explains to Ann she saved Shiho, she says "My Stand had no choice but to act." In Chapter 7, Ann asks Shizuka if she planned the events of the chapter. Shizuka says it was just a delightful turn of events, but the reader knows she did plan it, for the most part. This is a reference to - and inversion of - Joseph's final taunt to Kars in Battle Tendency. In Chapter 11, Shizuka's suggestion for the Phantom Thieves' team name is "Stardust Crusaders". The others don't really like it. In Chapter 16, Shizuka refers to the time she saved Rohan as a baby in Diamond in Unbreakable. She doesn't actually remember it, and Rohan never told her exactly what happened (probably because he used his Stand on her) but Shizuka gets the feeling Rohan saved her too. Also from Chapter 16, Ryuji really liked Rohan's Pink Dark Boy: Iron Sea. And when Josuke visits Shizuka at the end of Chapter 16, she thinks about how protective he is of his family. In Chapter 24, Shizuka sees a news report about Rise Kujikawa. Turns out she's getting engaged to the P4 protagonist. In Chapter 28, Mitsuru and her guest Naoto Shirogane refer to their own past experiences when discussing the Phantom Thieves. Chapter 30 has a subtle one. Akira's Confidant with Shizuka is the Aeon Arcana, and in this chapter he reveals his first Aeon Persona, Camazotz. Camazotz is from Mayan Mythology, referencing the Mayincatec Stone Mask and Pillar Men from Jojo... and possibly also Persona 2. Camzotz was an enemy in that game, and its mythological home Xibalba played a role in the plot. Akira's first impression of Akihiko is someone who drinks only protein shakes. Chapter 35. The Phantom Thieves learn about a crazy stalker at Shujin. From their chat log: In Chapter 46, when running from the crumbling Palace, Shizuka screams "HOUDINI THE WORLD! HOUDINI THE WORLD!", hoping for an 11th-Hour Superpower. The "delivery man" in Chapter 52 is wearing Nametame's delivery uniform from Persona 4 Chapter 53 shows the Speedwagon Foundation has a group of secret medical clinics and safe houses collectively named after Erina Pendleton, wife of Jonathan Joestar. In Chapter 54 Futaba hacks a cell phone with one of Necronomicron's tentacles, which is noticed by the phone's owner after the hacking. This subtly references the scene in Stardust Crusaders when Telence D'Arby finally sees Hermit Purple connected to Jotaro's controller. In the same chapter, Teddie, or at least his costume, is now the mascot of Junes. And when Shizuka hears about Persona 4's plot, she finds it strangely familiar. In Chapter 58, when the Arditi tells Jotaro they're going to fight for what's right, he thinks briefly of Kakyoin. In Chapter 76, when Akira asks Sergio whether a Stand that can alter the Metaverse is possible, Sergio brings up Heavy Weather from Stone Ocean.

Flashback Cut: When Morgana turns into a car for the first time and asks who will drive him, Shizuka thinks about the time she drove a car. The story then flashes back to an incident where Josuke chases down a Stand-using thief. Okuyasu is hanging on for dear life outside the moving car Josuke is in, and twelve-year old Shizuka is actually driving the car, feet unable to reach the pedals. The story then cuts back to the present, where Shizuka says someone else should drive.

 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_a65288e2
comment
Ascended Extra: Baked into the fic's very premise. Shizuka was a minor character from Diamond Is Unbreakable who completely vanished (hah) when it ended. Here, she's a main character. In canon, Shiho Suzui is Put on a Bus after her attempted suicide. Here she's caught by Shizuka as she falls so her injuries aren't as severe as in the game, and then patched up by a Stand wielding doctor courtesy of the Speedwagon Foundation. And then she gains a Persona and joins the Phantom Thieves as Nemesis. Hifumi Togo, in canon, is a confidant who was originally planned to be a main character but was cut out due to time constraints. In this story, not only is she a natural Stand user, but gets recruited to the Phantom Thieves in late September. The SIU Director gets named and his Palace gets visited in between Sae's and Shido's Palaces since the Thieves catch on to the fact that taking out Shido wouldn't dismantle the Conspiracy, so they instead go after another big member in order to cripple its reach. Mannish Boy, the user of the Stand Death 13, shows up in Arisawa's Palace, most likely in the employ of Mr. A.

There's also his Battle Cry, "Vattene!", Italian for "Begone!"

Invisible to Normals: As seen in-game, Personas aren't invisible to normals in the Metaverse. But in this fic Stands are, as seen when Shizuka brings Shiho to the Metaverse. However, Shadows seem to be able to see Shizuka's Stand just fine. This might have something to do with Persona-users being able to see Stands in the real world or Metaverse, since Shadows and Personas are connected. Finally, Personas can only be seen by Stand or Persona-users when summoned in the real world.

Light 'em Up: Shiho's Persona Aradia is specialized in light magic and buff spells. This is also implied to be the full extent of Houdini's power, with visibility/invisibility hinging on the refraction of light. Shizuka uses this principle to temporarily blind Paradise City by keeping the light from entering his eyes. Its evolved form, Houdini Eclipse, can not only alter light and color to create illusions, but can absorb light and blast it out as Frickin' Laser Beams.

Sergio's fighting style also is very environment-focused, most commonly by using his Stand Breakthru to send debris shooting at his targets.

Shout-Out
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: From Chapter 11: In Chapter 14, Shizuka's reacton to the H.R Giger-esque appearance of Mementos is "a brief wave of movie nostalgia": In Chapter 15, Shizuka was prepared to leg drop Yusuke "Hulk Hogan style", announces "Shizukamania's running wild", and then wonders aloud if the others know who Hulk Hogan is.note He did wrestle a few times in Japan, but nowhere near enough to be considered a household name. In Chapter 26, Shizuka thinks of Goro Akechi as a "Light Yagami looking dude". (Ironic, since Ryuji shares a Japanese voice actor with Light). Two in Chapter 28. The first is "The Legion of Doom never met up at a metro station" and the second is "Yakuza-types weren't really known for their kindness. Unless they were the kind who went around in stylish disco suits." In Chapter 30, Sergio chooses Diabolik as his thief name. In Chapter 38, Shizuka says Akira is "bishonen deer caught in the headlights", which is a reference to this post. In Chapter 49, Futaba starts humming the Imperial March, and then says not to feed her after midnight. After Futaba adopts her Oracle codename, Shizuka wonders if she's intentionally referencing Batgirl. Finally, Shadow Okumura's resemblance to Darth Vader is lampshaded by Shizuka. In Chapter 53, Shizuka says her father used to rant about "Afghanistan, air travel, George of the Jungle, and Rob Liefeld". In Chapter 56, Akihiko and Hideki Sanshiro's fight is much like a major fight in Yakuza. In the same chapter, Shizuka hums a few notes from the first episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. In Chapter 67, Sergio brings up Freddy Krueger when explaining Death 13. Shizuka humming notes from the second episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared in chapter 63. In chapter 6 of The Royal Chapters, Shizuka likens their Lotus-Eater Machine situation to For the Man Who Has Everything and quotes a passage from the story in her head.

comment
Rage-Breaking Point: After beating Akechi, just a single thought of everything he did drives Akira past his normally calm demeanor to just start pummeling him into the floor, and even start choking him out.

Paper Master: Lars Gunsche's Stand, Painkiller, has this power. Any paper he touches becomes incredibly resilient and rigid, allowing him to wear paper armour under his clothes, use origami shuriken and darts that cut better than real ones, and wield a sheet of paper like a blade.

Taking You with Me: Though Death 13 is defeated, he uses his last bit of strength to kill Arisawa's Shadow-self, killing the man in the real world and framing the Phantom Thieves for his death. Attempted by Sanshiro against Sergio. In the brief moment before Breakthru knocks him out, Sanshiro throws his Stand American I and nails Sergio in the gut. Luckily, Josuke gets there in time.

In Spite of a Nail
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_d243518d
comment
In Spite of a Nail: In Chapter 16, Shizuka makes a plan to talk with Yusuke. The reader knows this plan would avert the nude model incident... but two chapters later, Ryuji opens his big mouth at the wrong moment. This causes things to play out the way they did in canon. Even Shizuka wonders how things went wrong so fast. As of Chapter 28, most of the canon events have occurred in some fashion, albeit with extra stuff happening in the background and in between arcs. Despite Okumura not suffering a mental breakdown, the Arditi are still hit with a smear campaign that tanks their public support thanks to Akechi framing a couple of other breakdowns on them. However, it doesn't nearly effect them as much since they've been aware of the scope of The Conspiracy for a while. The SIU Director's shadow still gets killed, only this time by Death 13 instead of Akechi. Akechi manages to survive until the endgame, instead of dying in Shido's Palace, and learns about Yaldabaoth, but he still ends up dying in order to save the Phantom Thieves.

 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Junichiro Shioma, villainous user of the Stand Smash Mouth, is killed when his Stand's power collapses part of a ceiling onto him. Okabe's Stand, Sing You Sinners, creates an area-effect where Toon Physics applies. Shizuka defeats him by using her own knowledge of American cartoons against him. Yaldabaoth's schemes, though successfully weakening humanity's desires for control, also weakened humanity's desires to die as well, i.e. Erebus. With Erebus weakened, Nyx was not being drawn to Earth as strongly, freeing up Minato Arisato enough to return to Earth and help his old allies against the new threat.

Waxing Lyrical: In the narration for chapter 2, Shizuka thinks "Things would get better. Life would change," referring to the Persona 5 song. As part of her calling card to Kaneshiro, Shizuka writes 'YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING' on the walls of Kaneshiro's club. In Chapter 45, Futaba thinks she was only happy during "the days when her mother was there", referencing the name of her Palace's song. "Last Surprise" is again referenced in Chapter 50, where the narration says Shadow Okumura "never saw it coming".

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When their first battle with Camael goes south fast, the Arditi don't hesitate in executing the Joestar Family secret technique of throwing up a distraction and retreating in quick order. Not Futaba herself, but Necronomicon/Prometheus does this whenever Futaba is in too much danger, taking her to a place it considers "safe", like out of the Metaverse. So when the world itself start to be overwritten, it takes her to another universe - specifically, that of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army.

Ship Tease: There is some between Shiho and Ryuji, which goes to Official Couple. There's also a little bit with Makoto and Shizuka, with Shizuka thinking that she wants to be more than "just a friend," to Makoto. Though she keeps these thoughts to herself. Notably, during the blackout scene at Sojiro's house, Makoto clings to Shizuka instead of Akira. Shizuka finally confesses her feelings for Makoto in Chapter 52. Chapter 52 also suggests a Love Triangle between Akira, Futaba, and Haru. Only later does Akira get together with Futaba. More recently between Sergio and Hifumi. This seems to be the case with Haru and Yusuke as of late.

Chekhov's Gunman: The Stand-users Shizuka fights generally appear or are referred to a few chapters before she throws down with them. Stand-investigator Satoshi Morino mentions he has a son in Hawaii. Many chapters later... Rohan's Heaven's Door becomes pivotal in helping to prove that Akechi is Black Mask and that he works for Shido by reading a comatose Okumura's mind. One of Mr. A's Elite Four, Okabe, runs into a Stand user that wants to take the empty spot in Mr. A's elite group by beating Okabe. Though Okabe thrashes him, he reappears later using his Stand to track the retreating Phantom Thieves to the hidden Speedwagon Foundation clinic and lead Mr. A there.

Didn't See That Coming: As in canon, Makoto confronts the Phantom Thieves on the school rooftop after Kamoshida's change of heart. Except this time Makoto's friends with Shizuka, who's also there on the rooftop. The narration explains that Shizuka's presence completely derails Makoto's plan, turning her into a stammering mess. Akechi didn't realize that the Arditi had discovered Okumura's Palace and had split up to deal with it and Medjed at the same time because he was too focused on following Akira. When he learns that they already sent Okumura a calling card, he's left rushing to kill Okumura before he spills anything.

Expy: Paradise City is a pretty clear pastiche of Red Hot Chili Pepper, just with cement instead of electricity.

Being a handsome, cocky Italian with supernatural powers, Sergio is described as being the Caesar to Shizuka's Joseph. It later comes up that he is a Zeppeli by blood.

Kicking My Own Butt: Implied; when Shizuka hears that Sae called Makoto useless, she thinks that if her adoptive brother Josuke said anything half as insensitive to her, Crazy Diamond a.k.a. Josuke's own soul, would kick his ass on principle.

Pop-Cultured Badass: Shizuka was raised on a steady diet of comic books and movies, has a deep love for superhero comics and pro wrestling, and can still kick any baddie's ass. Not surprising, given that Joseph was also an example of this trope.

Guns Are Worthless
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_eb4ee9eb
comment
Guns Are Worthless: Played with. While guns in the real world are very much as effective as it should be (unless there is a sufficiently fast Stand), in the Metaverse, while functional, they don't do as much damage as a Persona/Stand. On the other hand, if you weaken the target congnition... On the other side of the subversion coin, Naoto uses her handgun to drive off a Stand-wielding intruder. Again subverted: Mista shoots and kills angels in an omake. Then again, his Stand does make bullets more deadly, but it doesn't change the fact it's a normal gun and normal bullets.

Crossover

comment
Crossover: Besides being a JoJo/Persona 5 crossover, characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 are also popping up in the background. While briefly travelling the multiverse, Futaba ends up in the universe of Raidou Kuzunoha, and also glimpses the words of Steel Ball Run, Baoh and Digital Devil Saga. Nero from Devil May Cry shows up in an Omake to bail out Junpei and Labrys.

Big Damn Heroes

comment
Big Damn Heroes: In Chapter 36 Shizuka, who is trapped by an enemy Stand-user, gets help from the sudden arrival of Ryuji. In Chapter 57, Makoto comes to Shizuka's rescue before the Chemical Brothers could kill her. From the same chapter, Aigis interrupts the fight between Akihiko and Sanshiro. In Chapter 58, one of Mr. A's thugs attempts to shoot Akira after Akira's been exhausted by a battle. As Akira wonders if he can stop the bullet, a voice rings out: "STAR PLATINUM: THE WORLD!" In Chapter 97, Sanshiro is about to take out Sergio, when Sae and a BFG formed by her Stand Luck Be A Lady scores a headshot. It's only enough to gain his attention though. In Omake 6, Labrys and Junpei are cornered by Yaldabaoth's angels, with the former switching to Shadow Labrys and prepared to make a Last Stand. They are rescued by none other than Nero himself.

One-Steve Limit: The Persona 3 protagonist, who is referred to in passing, has the name Minato from the manga adaptation. This is probably because his name in Persona 3: The Movie is "Makoto Yuki", and Persona 5 has a Makoto already.

Undying Loyalty: Lars Gunsche to Mr. A, due to the latter altruistically curing the former's cancer. So much so, in fact, that when Shizuka finally defeats him, Lars chooses to slit his own throat rather than live with his failure to his boss.

Running Gag
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Shizuka making a reference to something, then asking if the reference is obscure in Japan. Akira screaming internally. Any time a previous Persona character sees Akira they'll compare him to their own game's protagonist. Similarly, any time one of Akira's friends sees Yu Narukami they'll compare him to Akira.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Vanishing Act (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Despite his reputation, Akira is generally a rather nice and helpful guy. But a quick flash of anger from him is enough to send Futaba's uncle running, and he was sorely tempted to set Arsene loose on the guy. Akechi learns this the hard way. Haru is, how to say it, a little Trigger-Happy.

Alternate Universe Fic: Besides being merged with the Persona setting, there's one large change in the Jojo universe: Made in Heaven did not reset it. Exactly how this happened is unknown, and isn’t relevant to the plot in any case.
