* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Matador, with a bit of overlap with [[Colbert Bump]]. Prior to the game's Maniax update, Matador was simply a fiend that [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|looks like a skeleton dressed as a matador that is ready for a bullfight]]. Cue his jarring [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]] battle and now Matador has become a symbol for the franchise of "Never, EVER think buffs/debuffs are pointless. Always invest in them. They ''will'' save your ass from being pounded flat." |

* [[Fountain of Memes]]: For someone who only shows up for a single boss fight outside of fusion, Matador has a surprising amount of memes: |
|||
** "I challenge you to a duel!" Despite the fact that there's more to the sentence, this is all that shows up in the one text boss, but with a comma replacing the exclamation point. Pictures of Matador saying this is a fandom joke of things getting serious. |
|||
** "I swear, by my sword and capote, that I will once again prove victorious!" A rather spectacular [[Pre-Ass Kicking One Liner|Pre Ass Kicking One Liner]] that is one of the last lines before the fight properly begins. Among other things, it's the image for Atlus's That One Boss page. |
|||
** Red Capote - One of his unique skills and the skill that defines the fight, which maxes out Matador's hit/evasion rate. As this was the first mainline game to be released in the West and the first game to use the Press Turn system, Matador is widely considered to be ''the'' boss for teaching players how to properly use buffs and debuffs thanks to this skill. |
|||
** As a sub-meme of the above, variants of "Get the buffs ready" occur often when talking about the Press Turn system, and if the phrase is brought up, Matador is almost always mentioned. |
