===Persona 2: Innocent Sin===
After Joker is defeated by Tatsuya Suou and his party in the Caracol, he is possessed by his Persona Joker-Nyarlathotep, who says that since people view him as an angel, he shall make him such. After Angel Joker is defeated, Joker is unmasked as Jun Kurosu and stripped of his Persona by Nyarlathotep.
Earlier in the game, a civilian who was protected from the Last Battalion by the Masked Circle referred to Joker as an angel, while a beaten Masked Circle member cursed him as a devil. Originally, this would result in a rumor that the party would spread information about Joker's "true form", but the option was removed from the final version of the game. The alternate second form was to be called Devil Joker.

==Strategy==
Even though the battle against Angel Joker follows right after the previous fight against Joker's original form, the whole party's HP and SP are automatically recovered, except for status ailments. If Tatsuya makes the correct dialogue choice at the entrance of Caracol, Yukino will rejoin the team for this battle one last time (and be replaced by Jun afterwards).
Angel Joker relies on three Light skills which can be negated by Tetraja or a Silver Manisha, or just have the whole team equip Personas with Light immunity. Since he is weak to non-fatal Darkness attack, Stagnant Air actually works on him, unlike most circumstances.

==Trivia==
* Joker has an unused animation turning into Devil Joker, only currently viewable in Unit Viewer. The cutscene that this sprite is supposed to appear in is currently unknown.
* Despite being dummied out, Devil Joker has a complete stats line, contact and spell list. The two unique skills that would be used by him are Chaos Element and Perishable Darkness. These skills wouldn't be used until the sequel, Eternal Punishment.
* Devil Joker's lines and dialogue have been fully translated in the US/PAL release for the PSP version.
* Ginko, Eikichi and Maya have unused dialogue for the Devil Joker fight. Eikichi comments on what happened to Joker in confusion as Maya begs Jun to stop. Ginko asks Tatsuya if it's too late to save Jun.
