Devil Arcana

The Devil Arcana is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
==Overview==
Portrayed as a devil over two naked and chained figures, the negative aspect of the Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things, and being a slave to one's own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation. The positive aspect, however, represents a healthy bond or commitment.
A Persona of the Devil Arcana will commonly excel in dark-based affinities. Fittingly, the Devil Arcana is typically represented by the devils and evil deities of mythology.
Human characters associated with the Devil Arcana are often "devilish" individuals; they can be greedy, proud, lustful, or otherwise of poor character. This type of character has somewhat of an antisocial tendency, often not caring much for the needs or well-being of others, a byproduct of their bad experiences with the world. Yet they are also committed to a cause, usually their work, with motivations that are usually benign if not outright benevolent.
These characters struggle with differentiating between righteousness and temptation, often because they struggle to tell the difference from being seen as good and being legitimately good. The Social Link establishes their building their way back up to their path of benevolence.

The Devil Arcana Social Link is represented by Tanaka, a successful businessman in Persona 3. The protagonist can initiate this Social Link with Hermit Social Link Rank 4
and 'Charm' attribute Level 4 (Smooth). When these two conditions are met, Tanaka will take an interest in the protagonist to become a model for his products. Tanaka then swindles the protagonist out of 40,000 yen, however, when he sees the protagonist is unaware he's being taken advantage of, Tanaka takes him under his tutelage and begins to teach him about business, creating the Devil Arcana Social Link.
The Devil Social Link powers up everytime the protagonist interacts with Tanaka, where Tanaka slowly acknowledges the importances of business ethics and his true passion. By the end of the Social Link, Tanaka will give the protagonist a Thank-you Letter he received after donating a large sum of money to an orphanage, bestowing the Ultimate form of the Devil Arcana, Beelzebub, Lord of Hell.

===Persona 4===
The Devil Arcana Social Link is represented by Sayoko Uehara, a nurse working in the Inaba hospital in Persona 4. The protagonist initiates the Social Link by accepting the Night-Shift Hospital Janitor in the Shopping district notice board, which is available during Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during night-time. However, the protagonist must first level up his 'Diligence' Characteristic Parameters to Level 3 before accepting the job. Working in the Hospital also increases the protagonist' 'Courage' Characteristics parameters.
In the events of the Devil Arcana Social Link, Sayoko would often try to tempt and seduce the protagonist. Choosing to resist her temptations nets the most points to upgrade the Social Link to the next Level. In the later interactions, the protagonist helps her finding back her true purpose and passion of becoming a nurse in the first place.
By the end of the Social Link, Sayoko will give the protagonist her Hospital ID, bestowing the ultimate form of the Devil Arcana, Beelzebub, the Prince of Lies.

Through the Confidant the protagonist feeds information about the Phantom Thieves to Ohya so she may write articles about them. On the side, Ohya secretly tries to gain information about her former partner, who went missing after a scandal, despite the higher ups at her job constantly trying to shut her down and impede her investigation. The protagonist helps Ohya reclaim her idealism and her penchant for discovering the truth, allowing her to finally crack the case of what happened to her partner. 
Completing the Devil Arcana Confidant will also bestow the ultimate form of the Arcana, Beelzebub.
