So, if we only count Orpheus, Izanagi and Arsene, whuch Persona protagonist would win in a brawl? Minato/Makoto, Narukami, or Joker?

I'll assume no Fusions were used to expand their ability options:
Discounting personal physical capabilities (where Joker has a distinct advantage over Narukami in several ways), Izanagi does have a slight advantage over Arsene do his immunity to Dark spells. The loss of range isn't quite as big a deal for Joker as it would be for Narukami, though, since Arsene packs Dream Needle (which would probably decide the matchup right then and there if its effect triggers) and Joker's got his
G U N.
Orpheus, on the other hand, is a liability in this brawl. The guy gives Minato weaknesses to both Electric and Dark means that he's placed in a terrible disadvantage against his foes' Zio and Eiha spells, and since his own spell is Fire elemental, he can't return the sentiment to either of them. Having a measly three attack options in battle doesn't help, either. This means that if Minato wants to win, he'll have to try and ambush the others in the real world, where their Personas aren't accessible- and even then, Joker is both agile and able to slip into the Cognitive Realm rather easily- and that's assuming that Arsene's Adverse Resolve wouldn't be applicable enough to let Kurusu just punch the kid's lights out in the first place!
At least, this is my take on the issue as someone who's really only familiar with P4 and P5. Maybe Minato's got something up his sleeves to give an advantage as a person?
