SoulCalibur is one of the most popular fighting game franchises out there because it's so easy to get into, and from the third entry on the series has been famous for its inclusion of a character creator.

With the newest entry of the franchise, SoulCalibur VI, out now, fans have references other videogame and anime franchises for their creations. One fan has gone the extra mile and recreated the entire Phantom Thieves party from Persona 5.

Twitter user @Urswurs shared their Phantom Thief recreations to Twitter and captures the best of Persona 5's Joker, Ryuji, Ann, Morgana, and later additions Yusuke, Makoto, Haru, and Futaba in their dungeon crawling outfits.

There's even a little love for the even later addition, Akechi, who fans of Persona 5 the Animation last saw leave quite a negative impression on the rest of the Phantom Thieves. Luckily the series is coming back for a new anime special at the end of the year which will hopefully save fans and the Phantom Thieves themselves from the "bad end" of the anime.

SoulCalibur VI is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.Persona 5 is available now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, and Persona 5 the Animation can currently be found streaming on Crunchyroll.

The series is directed by Masashi Ishiyama (From the New World), and the game's original producer Katsura Hashino is credited for the original concept. Shinichi Inotsume (Hayate the Combat Butler) is handled for the series, and Shoji Meguro, who composed the music for the original game, returned to compose the music for the series.

The full voice cast for Persona 5 the Animation includes Jun Fukuyama as the main character Ren Amamiya, Mamoru Miyano as Ryuji Sakamoto, Ikue Otani as Morgana, Nana Mizuki as Anne Takamaki, Tomokazu Sugita as Yusuke Kitagawa, Rina Satou as Makoto Niijima, Aoi Yūki as Futaba Sakura, Haruka Tomatsu as Haru Okumura, and Sōichiro Hoshi as Goro Akechi.

Aniplex of America describes Persona 5 the Animation as such:

"Ren Amamiya is about to enter his second year after transferring to Shujin Academy in Tokyo. Following a particular incident, his Persona awakens, and together with his friends they form the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" to reform hearts of corrupt adults by stealing the source of their distorted desires.

Meanwhile, bizarre and inexplicable crimes have been popping up one after another…Living an ordinary high school life in Tokyo during the day, the group maneuvers the metropolitan city as Phantom Thieves after hours.Let the curtain rise for this grand, picaresque story!"
