The Internet Reacts To Sonic Forces’ Persona 5 Costume

Maybe you forgot that Atlus, the creators of Persona, are now owned by Sega, the makers of Sonic. Well, the internet got a terrible reminder of this fact yesterday, and it’s hilarious.

Sonic Forces, the next 3D Sonic game, will have a costume that dresses our favourite blue hedgehog as the protagonist of Persona 5. The “Joker” costume on its own doesn’t look too bad, I don’t think, except that it’s weird as hell to see Sonic without his gloves. OK, maybe it’s strange to see such a dapper Sonic, too. Mostly, though, the internet seems to be riffing on the idea that this is actually Akira’s fursona, not Persona:

logistically sega owning atlus and willing to give the sonics persona clothes means that someday the morgana bus could be in a kart racer… pic.twitter.com/G5YZH5klSR
