Izanagi-no-Okami
Izanagi-no-Okami is the strongest Persona in Persona 4 Golden, a level 91 World arcana Persona you can fuse only in New Game Plus after the True Ending, from twelve Personas including Norn from a maxed Naoto link.
Izanagi-no-Okami is the strongest Persona in Persona 4 Golden: a level 91 Persona of the World arcana, the only one of its arcana, that you can fuse only in New Game Plus after seeing the True Ending, by combining twelve specific Personas in a single special fusion, per TheGamer's Izanagi-no-Okami guide of Apr 16, 2023. Level does not carry over into New Game Plus, so you must climb back to level 91 first, and one ingredient, Norn, needs Naoto's Social Link maxed. It resists physical attacks and all four elements and has no weakness (Game Rant). For Persona 4 Revival (Feb 18, 2027), Atlus has not said whether Izanagi-no-Okami can be fused or how, as of Nov 3, 2026. The clip is BuffMaister's recording of the fusion on PC: twelve cards and a level 91 result.

What Izanagi-no-Okami is
Izanagi is the protagonist's first Persona, awakened at the very start of the game; Izanagi-no-Okami is its final form, which the protagonist calls on in the last battle of the True Ending path. After that ending, the Velvet Room lets you fuse it yourself in a second playthrough. Because the World arcana has no Social Link, it gains no bonus EXP from fusion, and it cannot be registered in the Compendium: if you fuse it away or release it, you have to gather all twelve ingredients again (TheGamer). The clip is BuffMaister's recording of that last battle, where Izanagi-no-Okami appears with Myriad Truths.
Requirements
- Finish the True Ending. The normal and bad endings do not unlock it; the route is on Persona 4 Endings.
- Start New Game Plus from that clear save.
- Reach level 91 again. The protagonist's level resets in New Game Plus, and fusion cannot exceed your level.
- Max Naoto's Social Link in the new run for Norn, the Fortune ultimate. See Naoto Social Link.
- Hold or buy back all twelve ingredients, then fuse.

Two ingredients feed others: make Izanagi before Nata Taishi, and Legion before Mithra, or keep copies in the Compendium so you can buy them back. Register every ingredient as you make it, since the twelve vanish in the final fusion. Persona Fusion explains special fusions and the Compendium.
Skills
| Skill | Level | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Angelic Grace | Innate | Doubles evasion against all but light, dark and almighty |
| Megidolaon | Not stated | Severe almighty damage to all foes |
| Mind Charge | Not stated | Next magic attack deals 250% damage |
| Victory Cry | Not stated | Restores HP and SP fully after each battle |
| Agidyne | 92 | Heavy fire damage to one foe |
| Bufudyne | 93 | Heavy ice damage to one foe |
| Ziodyne | 94 | Heavy electric damage to one foe |
| Garudyne | 95 | Heavy wind damage to one foe |
| Fire Amp | 96 | Fire damage +50% |
| Ice Amp | 97 | Ice damage +50% |
| Elec Amp | 98 | Electric damage +50% |
| Wind Amp | 99 | Wind damage +50% |
Source: TheGamer. TheGamer marks Angelic Grace innate and gives no level for Megidolaon, Mind Charge or Victory Cry. Its signature move from the story battle, Myriad Truths, is not learnable in normal play. Izanagi-no-Okami's skills are fixed and it inherits nothing from its twelve ingredients.
Is it worth it?
It is the end of the road rather than a tool for a hard fight: by the time you can make it you are at level 91 in a second playthrough. Victory Cry and Angelic Grace make the rest of that run easier, including the Optional Bosses. "The Power of Truth", the achievement for fusing it, is one of only two that cannot be earned on a first playthrough, per TheGamer. For a first-run alternative, see Best Personas.
Izanagi-no-Okami in Persona 4 Revival
Revival's Steam key art shows Izanagi behind the protagonist, and Atlus says Revival keeps fusion in the Velvet Room (Atlus), but has not said whether Izanagi-no-Okami can be fused, whether it still needs New Game Plus, or whether the recipe changes, as of Nov 3, 2026. The clip is GameSpot's Aug 26, 2026 footage of a pre-release build of Revival, where the protagonist first calls his Persona.
