Their leader Joker appears at the end, using All-Out Attack alongside his allies. The only exceptions are Haru Okumura (who appears as a background character instead), Futaba Sakura (who serves as a guide rather than participating in combat), and Goro Akechi. The Daybreak Part items references the name of the game's OVA adaption, The Dark Breakers. It also likely references Sinful Shell, a skill which is used to defeat the final boss Yaldabaoth at the very end of the game.

The three Ridley minion fighters likely represent the residents of the Velvet Room that assist him; the only game in the series that features three assistants is Persona 2. The stage and music represent the Velvet Room, of which Igor is the proprietor. The Assist Trophy items represent how meeting Igor results in the protagonists awakening and summoning their Personas. The Sudden Damage rule and third battle condition references the "awakening" aspect where the protagonists of Persona 5 rips away a mask bonded to their flesh and eventually heals over time.

The puppet fighter also references both Pikachu and Morgana sharing the same Japanese voice actress, Ikue Ōtani. The Incineroar minion fighter starting off with an Ore Club and the Heavy Wind hazard represents Morgana's Persona, Zorro, who utilizes wind powers.
1,310		Ryuji Sakamoto	•Captain Falcon •Giant Mii Gunner (Moveset 121?, Pirate Hat, Steampunk Getup, Black Outfit Color, No Voice)		4,800	Luigi's Mansion (Battlefield form)	N/A	•Defeat the main fighter to win •The enemy starts the battle with a Home-Run Bat	Last Surprise	The black Captain Falcon puppet fighter represents Ryuji Sakamoto in his outfit as the Phantom Thief, Skull.

The Giant Mii Gunner minion fighter's costume represents Ryuji's Persona, Captain Kidd. The stage references the exterior of Suguru Kamoshida's Palace, where Joker and Ryuji first awaken their Personas.
1,311	File:Ann Persona 5.png	Ann Takamaki	•Zero Suit Samus •Giant Peach		4,500	Castle Siege (Throne Room)	•Item: Fire Flower	•Defeat the main fighter to win	Last Surprise	The red Zero Suit Samus puppet fighter represents Ann Takamaki in her outfit as the Phantom Thief, Panther. The puppet fighter references both Samus and Ann's main weapon of choice being whips. The Giant Peach minion fighter starting off with a Fire Flower represents Ann's Persona, Carmen, a rose-themed Persona with fire-based powers. The stage references the interior of Kamoshida's Palace where Ann first awakens her Persona.
1,312		Yusuke Kitagawa	•Chrom •Giant King Dedede		2,500	Suzaku Castle (Battlefield form)	•Assist Trophy Enemies (Vince)	•Defeat the main fighter to win •Hostile assist trophies will appear after a little while	Last Surprise	The Chrom puppet fighter represents Yusuke Kitagawa due to both being blue-haired swordfighters. The puppet fighter also references both Chrom and Yusuke sharing Matthew Mercer and Tomokazu Sugita as their English and Japanese voice actors respectively. The King Dedede minion fighter represents Yusuke's Persona, Goemon, who is also known for using powerful physical attacks. The stage references how Yusuke's teacher, Ichiryusai Madarame, utilizes traditional Japanese imagery in his design and palace. The Vince Assist Trophy enemy references how Yusuke is an artist who designs the Phantom Thieves' logo.
1,313		Makoto Niijima	•Sheik •Giant Clear Wario		3,000	Dracula's Castle (Ω form)	N/A	•Defeat the main fighter to win •The enemy is invisible	Last Surprise	The Sheik puppet fighter represents Makoto Nijima in her outfit as the Phantom Thief, Queen. The Giant Clear Wario minion fighter's frequent use of Wario Bike represents Makoto's Persona, Johanna, which takes the form of an animate motorcycle. The stage references Junya Kaneshiro's Palace, where Makoto awakens her Persona and joins the Phantom Thieves. The stage also likely references Makoto's fear of ghosts.
1,314	File:Futaba Persona 5.png	Futaba Sakura	•Inkling		2,900	Mushroomy Kingdom (Battlefield form)	•Item Tidal Wave (Boss Galaga) •Assist Trophy Enemies (Wily Capsule)	•Timed battle (1:30) •Hostile assist trophies will appear •Items will be pulled toward the enemy	Beneath the Mask	The Inkling puppet fighter represents Futaba Sakura due to their similar appearances. The stage references the Egyptian styling of Futaba's palace. While most of the Phantom Thieves have Last Surprise—the standard battle theme—as the music for their spirit battles, Futaba's has Beneath the Mask—the overworld theme—which reflects that she never directly participates in battle. The Wily Capsule Assist Trophy enemy represents Futaba's Persona, Necronomicon, which takes the form of a UFO with a human pilot (being Dr. Wily and Futaba respectively). The Boss Galaga items also references Necronomicon, but also likely represents Futaba's fondness for video games.
1,315	File:Haru Persona 5.png	Haru Okumura	•Villager •Giant Daisy		2,300	Tomodachi Life (Ω form)	•Item Tidal Wave	•Defeat the main fighter to win •Certain items will appear in large numbers after a little while	Last Surprise	The pink Villager puppet fighter represents Haru Okumura, a member of the Phantom Thieves known as Noir. The Giant Daisy minion fighter starting off with a Super Scope represents Haru's Persona, Milady, who utilizes gun-based attacks. The stage, Food item (Salads), and the Villager puppet fighter's frequent use of Timber references Haru's hobby as a gardener. The stage also references Haru's garden on the rooftop of Shujin Academy.
1,316		Goro Akechi	•Marth •Giant Pit		3,800	Fourside (Battlefield form)	•Hazard: Left Is Right, Right Is Left	•Defeat the main fighter to win •Left and right controls will suddenly reverse	Rivers In the Desert	The White puppet fighter represents Goro Akechi in his outfit as the Phantom Thief, Crow. The Giant Pit minion fighter represents Akechi's Persona, Robin Hood, who is also an archer with a mostly white color scheme. The stage references Sae Niijima's Palace, a large casino which Akechi works with the Phantom Thieves to infiltrate. The Reversible Controls rule references to how Akechi's ability to inflict psychotic episodes in people. Similar to Futaba, Akechi doesn't use Last Surprise as his battle theme. Instead his battle has Rivers in the Desert, which is a reference to his father Masayoshi Shido, who uses Rivers in the Desert as his battle theme.

Trivia

• Both Morgana and Yusuke Kitagawa's spirit battles relate to how they share the same voice actor as their fighter, as Morgana shares his Japanese voice actress with Pikachu (which itself is actually referenced in Persona 5), and Yusuke shares both his Japanese and English voice actors with Chrom.
• In the Phantom Thieves of Hearts battle, Haru Okumura is the only Phantom Thief who will appear in the background. As a result, the character who represents her in her spirit battle, Villager, does not appear in the spirit battle.
  • Additionally, Futaba Sakura is the only Phantom Thief in the Phantom Thieves of Hearts spirit battle to not appear in any capacity outside of Joker's All-Out Attack Final Smash, as she cannot appear in the background for Mementos nor does the character who represents her in her spirit battle, Inkling, appear in the spirit battle.
  • Likewise, Goro Akechi is the only Phantom Thief to not appear in any capacity outside of his spirit battle, as he does not appear in the background of Mementos or appear during Joker's All-Out Attack Final Smash, and the Marth that represents him is not present during the Phantom Thieves of Hearts spirit battle, reflecting his absence from said spirit's artwork.
• The Phantom Thieves of Hearts battle is the first spirit battle in the game to have a DLC fighter as the Puppet Fighter (Joker).
• In all versions of Ultimate, Ryuji Sakamoto's spirit does not have a Rising Sun Flag symbol on his shoe, matching a similar censoring done in the Chinese and Korean versions of Persona 5 due to the symbol being considered offensive in Asia.
• Akechi, Igor, and Caroline & Justine are the only Spirits who do not make a physical appearance in Ultimate
  • Additionally, Akechi is the only Phantom Thief whose Phantom Thief outfit does not make an appearance as a Spirit, due to Persona 5 not having artwork of him in his Crow outfit.
• Persona, ARMS, and Final Fantasy are the only series in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a playable character where all current Spirits use artwork from the same game, respectively being Persona 5, ARMS, and Ultimate, mainly due to Cloud not having any artwork from Final Fantasy VII to swap for his Ultimate artwork.
  • This is excluding Ice Climber and Game & Watch, which use sprites, and R.O.B, which uses real-life photographs.
