Rescently started playing SMT2, and I ended up running into Majin Alice, beat her first try also.

The Anime felt like they were planning a full series, not just an OVA, and they didn't get the financing they wanted. The characters were introduced so fast and and were not given enough time to developed their personalities.

Looking at most of the player characters and bosses leads me to think that most of them can be covered by at least 2 cards. For example, Slayer can be considered a combination of the Heirophant and the Devil.

Removing Fanny (GG Petit), Leopaldon and the Zako-dan (Ikuska), and counting Dr. Baldhead/Faust, Sol Badguy/Holy Order Sol and Zato-1/Eddie only once each. I count 26 playable characters.

Here are my Tarot equivalencies: with reasons hidden

0: Fool -
I: Magician -
II: High Priestess -
III: Empress -
IV: Emporer - Robo Ky built to enforce control
V: Heirophant - Slayer almost a religous figure/dark religon
VI: Lovers - Johnny and May If Johnny gives up his womanizing he can gain May as his lover
VII: Chariot -
VIII: Strength -
IX: Hermit - ABA she comes from a secluded mountian lab seeking knowledge
X: Wheel of Fortune - Jam She is able to build her restaurant but loses it soon after
XI: Justice - Justice name and the fact "she" caused humans to identify the supposed mistake of creating the gears
XII: Hanged Man -
XIII: Death -
XIV: Temperance - Dizzy Blending of opposites, weapon that does not want to fight, Life and Death wings
XV: Devil - Zato-1/Eddie binds self to demon for power that gradually kills him (stops him from growing)
XVI: Tower -
XVII: Star -
XVIII: Moon -
XIX: Sun -
XX: Judgment - Ky He is trying to figure out what is right and wrong
XXI: World -

I will fill in others as I think more about them.

P.S. There are 2 meanings for each card the Primary and the Inverted meaning.

You left out both Aba (the new girl with the key), and Robo-Ky.

Their is a Offical art Image that has Robo-Ky sitting on a throne like the Emperor in some Tarot decks.

An the meaning of the card fits his purpose.



the Robo-Ky and Robo-Ky 2 units were developed in order for their creators to controll the world



ABA the new girl who first appears in Isuka (may have mispelled it) comforms to the Hermit.
