Every character in Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonka Arena has a comeback move. When you’re low on HP, your character’s portrait will do a cut-in and trigger awakening mode. This bumps your max SP up to 50 (that’s the gauge for Persona attacks) and unlocks your ultimate attack.

Yosuke Hanamura’s awakening move is Sukujaka, which increases his speed on the battlefield. Chie can make meteors rain on enemies at a 45 degree angle with Agneyastra and Yukiko can shoot a giant fireball straight forward when she casts Agidyne.
