Details[]
As with all Full Moon Operation bosses, the Chariot Shadow is the inverse version of the Chariot, which represents victory and conquest. It represents impulsiveness, inflexibility, and anxiety. Not only all of its movements are extremely stiff, it mostly relies on Arcana Justice to control it to become a significant threat.

Persona 3 FES The Journey Full Moon Boss Chariot And Justice Hard
Boss battle.
When first encountered, the Shadows appear as a single entity, having possessed a tank for use as armor and extra firepower. After a few turns in battle, however, the duo will separate into their individual selves to increase their offensive. In this state, Chariot is revealed to be the main hull of the tank, with the yellow mask of the Chariot Shadows displayed on its underside. When separated from Justice, it adopts a humanoid posture, "standing" on its rear treads.
The Chariot and Justice Shadows are initially fought as a single entity with 1500 HP, every 3 turns they split apart, with the current remaining HP of the combine form given to each part. If the party defeats one of the Shadows while leaving the other alive, the other will simply cast Samarecarm to revive the fallen one with full health. Thus, the party is forced to defeat them both quickly or with one attack; it is impossible to defeat the Shadows in their combined form. If their fused form is reduced to 1 HP, it will become immune to all further damage until its next turn, after which it will automatically separate into its components, who will each have 1 HP.
The Chariot Shadow mainly utilizes Strike attacks as its main form of attack, occasionally boosting them with Power Charge. It is also capable of inflicting status ailments to force the party to lose turns.

Trivia[]
- "VII" seems to be written on the forehead of Arcana Chariot's yellow "head", symbolizing being the seventh Arcana.
- In terms of appearance, Chariot and Justice appear to be based off of the Type 3 Medium Tank Chi-Nu, a medium tank built during the Second World War. The Chi-Nu is found in storage on the Japanese home islands, and not abroad, which fits its history of only being deployed to protect the islands in the case of an Allied invasion.
