PERSONA5 the Animation 1x13

Directed by

Finding himself in an art slump, Yusuke asks Ren to be his bodyguard while he draws inspiration from Mementos, only to receive harsh criticism on his piece. Meanwhile, Akechi asks for Ren's help in finding evidence against an art dealer named Akio Kawanabe, who he believes is into some shady practices. As Yusuke manages to get out of his slump thanks to encouragement from his friends, Ren discovers that it was Kawanabe's assistant committing crimes, allowing Akechi to arrest him. Receiving praise for his new piece, Yusuke declines Kawanabe's funding in order to pursue his own hope.

1. He's coming out! Koichi Tawarada!

2. Suspected of being involved in three murders,

3. Tawarada is the son of the leader of the conservative Liberal Prosperity Party,

4. Kosei Tawarada, who is himself suspected of destroying evidence.

5. Both men are being taken for questioning at Mejiro Police Station.

6. I heard that these arrests came about because of something you said, Akechi?

7. Merely a coincidence. I got lucky.

8. So what'll happen now?

9. I hear the suspect will plead insanity.

10. Huh. I wonder if he really is the "second coming of the Detective Prince."

11. Welcome.

12. Hello.

13. Oh, that was pre-recorded.

14. Blend, please.

15. Comin' up.

16. The atmosphere here is wonderful, yes?

17. Such interesting knick-knacks.

18. May I use this?

19. Be my guest.

20. How about a game?

21. I don't know the rules.

22. Have you played shogi before?

23. A little.

24. Then it's fine. You'll pick it quickly.

25. Here you go.

26. Thank you very much.

27. Regarding the latest event...

28. What made you realize?

29. Sorry.

30. That's classified.

31. And regarding the Phantom Thieves... Is it classified, too?

32. Yes, that's right. Top secret.

33. They scored a point against me with Junya Kaneshiro.

34. You really regard them as the enemy?

35. Are we continuing our previous discussion?

36. They uncover evil activities and make them confess.

37. Their methods are problematic to me.

38. What if their methods aren't wrong?

39. I'll find out soon enough.

40. I'm already gathering info about them.

41. If you go there, the king will be trapped.

42. Before long, I'll be able to reveal...

43. The identities of the Phantom Thieves.

44. The Phantom Thieves are freakin' amazing!

45. They caught someone even the cops couldn't nab!

46. Akechi's case is incredible, too!

47. I'm much more of a Phantom Thieves fan!

48. Whoa, check it out!

49. The number of people accessing the Phan-Site is skyrocketing!

50. A big wave's coming!

51. I guess some credit goes to Kaneshiro.

52. Credit...

53. Sorry, that's going a bit far.

54. But look at all these comments.

55. Sure there are some weird ones, but I check and filter them out.

56. Hey...

57. Don't worry. Leave it to me!

58. See ya later!

59. Is he okay?

60. A big wave's comin'!

61. Not you, too?

62. Contain yourself.

63. But it really is amazing!

64. Wherever you look, there's something about the Phantom Thieves!

65. We're totally famous!

66. We're certainly drawing a lot of attention.

67. I didn't hear from my sister directly,

68. but it sounds like the prosecutor's office is starting to seriously look into us.

69. Meaning the more popular we are, the more dangerous it gets.

70. That's why you're always sayin' to be careful, right?

71. I know, I know!

72. I find it hard to believe it when you say it, Ryuji!

73. What's that?

74. There's also the man with the black mask.

75. Right. Caution should be our watchword.

76. Roger.

77. Hey, what do you got planned now, leader?

78. Wanna go to Mementos? Now that we're on a roll!

79. What did I just finish telling you?

80. No, I've got plans today.

81. Oh, okay.

82. Well, it's been a while, so maybe I'll head to the arcade.

83. Hey, you wanna go to that one place?

84. You mean Cat Avenue, right?

85. What? I like the sound of that!

86. You wanna go, Morgana?

87. Yeah, except I'm not a cat... But if you insist, Lady Ann!

88. What are you gonna do, Yusuke?

89. Oh, I have plans as well.

90. Then let's go!

91. Oh. Maybe I'll play Gun Shooting King...

92. - Yeah, let's go! - I can't wait!

93. Sorry. Is it any trouble?

94. Nah.

95. I need advice.

96. Ever since Kaneshiro turned himself in, the public expects more criminal breakthroughs.

97. The day before Kaneshiro came forward,

98. there were reports of calling cards put up by the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts."

99. Since it's come to this, we can't overlook them.

100. The police are making demands, as well.

101. The Phantom Thieves case... Can I leave it to you?

102. Yes, sir. I promise to get you results.

103. It's clear that these abnormal incidents have caused some anxiety throughout our country.

104. This situation must be approached with the utmost seriousness.

105. I shall continue to put forth great effort so every citizen can live with peace of mind.

106. A slump?

107. Like a bottomless bog.

108. No matter what I paint, it's trash.

109. Look.

110. "Sayuri" has beauty that fascinates people.

111. My only goal was to pursue pure beauty like that.

112. I have a scholarship, but if I were to lose it, I would likely have to leave the school.

113. Therefore, I must continually enter into competitions to remain eligible.

114. A painting for money, acknowledgment, student life...

115. I'm no different from Madarame!

116. You seem stressed.

117. I'll speak frankly.

118. I want your help.

119. To escape your slump?

120. The beauty of a work is born from the soul of its artist.

121. What is a soul? It's the heart.

122. Then what is the heart? How does it bring forth such beauty?

123. I must understand the human heart.

124. Okay. I'd be glad to help.

125. Wonderful!

126. What exactly do you need?

127. Be my bodyguard.

128. To acquire inspiration I must make leisurely observations.

129. In the Metaverse, which has moved me the most...

130. In Mementos.

131. You're a card, Mr. Takahashi.

132. Yes! Inspiration has struck!

133. Such brilliant composition!

134. My heart races!

135. This is a true treasury of motifs!

136. Glad to hear it.

137. This distorted realm, the manifestation of human desire...

138. How can a thing that produces such beauty also create such morbid fabrications?

139. But it is also the human heart!

140. Hurry. Enemies could–

141. How inelegant!

142. I shall cut you down for interrupting my work!

143. Goemon!

144. Lamia!

145. It's complete.

146. The title is "Desire."

147. The ominousness of desires and the abyss of the heart I witnessed in Mementos

148. helped me to paint a marvelous piece.

149. It's because of you. My thanks.

150. Not at all...

151. No one's looking at it.

152. That's because I didn't paint it on a level that just anyone could understand.

153. But if someone with a discerning eye...

154. Oh? What's this?

155. You see?

156. The technique is excellent... But the composition's mediocre, at best.

157. Are you the artist?

158. Why do you consider it mediocre?

159. "DESIRE" YUSUKE KITAGAWA

160. The title is listed as "Desire", but the idea is overused.

161. If you want to paint an abstract work with such an old theme,

162. you need to inject some individuality into it.

163. Look carefully at this with your own eyes.

164. What does this painting tell you?

165. It's empty.

166. You used color and brushwork to produce tarted-up "emptiness."

167. Certainly, it was emptiness.

168. It did not convey the true meaning of desire, only my conception of it.

169. That gentleman's keen eye was correct.

170. Don't let it get you down.

171. I apologize for my comments in there, Yusuke Kitagawa.

172. Who are you?

173. This is who I am.

174. Director of the Japanese Art Support Foundation...

175. Akio Kawanabe?

176. Do you have some time?

177. Please, help yourself.

178. Don't concern yourself with the price.

179. I've known about you for some time now.

180. Your delicate portraits of beautiful women are reminiscent of "Sayuri," right?

181. Are you in a slump at the moment?

182. Well...

183. My day job is as an art dealer,

184. but I'm also the director of a foundation that invests in promising young artists.

185. It's a shame when talent is buried due to lack of funding.

186. What do you think, Kitagawa-kun?

187. Would you let us support you?

188. Allow us to remove your financial anxiety and supply you with a creative environment.

189. Materials or themes, and if needed, we can even prepare a studio.

190. Your work could sell well.

191. You're not only handsome, but a former student of the infamous Madarame.

192. I'm positive customers would jump at the chance to meet you.

193. Wait a minute. What does that mean?

194. That I would only be successful because I have a potential sales hook?

195. Do you believe your work could sell on its own merits?

196. I thought you were prepared to make a living as an artist.

197. Shut your mouth!

198. Without money, it's hard to eat.

199. That's reality.

200. If you change your mind, contact me.

201. Such vulgarity!

202. Yusuke...

203. - Sorry about yesterday.

204. - Sorry about yesterday. - I'll contact you again.

205. Hi.

206. Hang out with me.

207. YONGEN-JAYA BATTING CENTER

208. While pursuing the Phantom Thieves, I went over the Madarame case,

209. and came across dark rumors about Kawanabe.

210. He offers to sponsor young, aspiring painters,

211. but ties them to disadvantageous exclusive contracts,

212. then demands immense payments, supposedly to cover the cost of the exhibit.

213. Other than that,

214. he takes kickbacks from scholarships.

215. But I lack proof.

216. Why tell me?

217. The one you were with, Yusuke Kitagawa, was Madarame's former disciple, yes?

218. Kawanabe and Madarame were once fellow students.

219. It'd be a damn shame if Kitagawa fell prey to both of them.

220. It's got nothing to do with pursuing the Phantom Thieves.

221. People's desires cause them to commit crimes.

222. As a detective, I uncover those crimes.

223. Makes it seem like I'm a Phantom Thief.

224. How about this?

225. You could set up a meeting with Kawanabe.

226. You'd be nearby, so Kitagawa would be protected.

227. Then I can get my proof.

228. Sounds good.

229. I got a call from Kawanabe.

230. Apparently there's a Foundation-sponsored public exhibition coming up.

231. He said that if I'm confident, I should exhibit a painting.

232. Fine, I shall.

233. I'll show him that I have real talent.

234. For that sake, I'll paint and paint until I drop!

235. That's cool, but...

236. But what?

237. What's this?

238. I thought being here would inspire me.

239. The theme is the anguish of original sin!

240. I will bring anguish to its utmost limits!

241. Easy for you to say–

242. Don't move!

243. You lowered your arms!

244. Bend your back more and raise your leg higher!

245. Don't move!

246. I'm stumped.

247. The flow of money eventually comes to an end.

248. Hayashi Holdings, Tsuji Gallery, Harada Managing...

249. I've identified the principals.

250. How are they able to hide it so cleverly?

251. Am I missing something?

252. You can't force them to cooperate in an investigation?

253. Without concrete proof, I can't get a warrant.

254. Therefore, my options are limited.

255. Huh...

256. Shujin's student council president?

257. Well? Is he making any trouble at school?

258. Oh, not at all.

259. Is it that complicated?

260. Desires?

261. I don't really get it,

262. but wanting to be praised by someone, wanting money...

263. I think those are fine examples of passion.

264. Passion?

265. Yes, but...

266. If we're talkin' that, then I was full of desires while on the track team.

267. Wanting to win, beat everyone else,

268. break records and have girls scream over me...

269. What else?

270. For the sake of the other members...

271. When I'd get tired, if I thought I was doin' it for someone else, I could hang in there.

272. Someone else...

273. I don't think having desires is bad.

274. It depends on what you do with them.

275. That's right.

276. If they give you that feeling, like "I'm gonna do it!",

277. then I think it's a positive.

278. But I'm pursuing beauty as pure as the "Sayuri"...

279. Yusuke, you call it "pure beauty,"

280. but the first time I saw "Sayuri," it felt more gentle to me.

281. I mean, it felt like she was watching over me, telling me everything was gonna be okay.

282. Ann said "gentleness."

283. The heart is dark, ugly, and distorted like this,

284. and yet, there's also the beauty of loving others...

285. Say, Joker...

286. When my mother was painting "Sayuri", what do you think was on her mind?

287. She wanted it to impart something with me, and everyone else who saw it...

288. Something?

289. Love, regret, loneliness, anxiety, calm, forgiveness... and hope.

290. All of the emotions my mother felt.

291. That's why "Sayuri" is beautiful.

292. Thank you, Joker.

293. Just as my mother created that painting for others,

294. I will wield the brush again to give hope to all who see my paintings.

295. I like the sound of that.

296. Your patience in spending time with me made me able to arrive at this feeling.

297. Watch me.

298. Someday, I will use my art to paint over the blackness of this world.

299. I'm sure it will be beautiful.

300. I'm looking forward to it.

301. Oh?

302. I saw the list of works to be exhibited. Looks like you'll have one on display.

303. Yes, that is my intention.

304. Perhaps you should reconsider, before you embarrass yourself.

305. After all, the winner's spot is not simply yours for the taking.

306. Either way, I don't mind. The more the merrier, after all!

307. Director.

308. Yes.

309. Mr. Kawanabe!

310. Have you heard of Hayashi Holdings, Tsuji Gallery, and Harada Managing?

311. I've never heard of them, but why do you ask?

312. Nevermind.

313. Ren, what was that about?

314. Nothing.

315. The winner's spot...

316. I was hoping to prove my talent to him by taking the top prize home.

317. But that no longer matters to me.

318. Instead, I will enter my painting merely to expose it to others.

319. Shit! Shit! That brat!

320. Since he said the names of the companies, Kawanabe is sure to catch on!

321. I have to get rid of this stuff!

322. It's hard to see what's right under your nose.

323. No wonder nothing came up when I investigated Kawanabe.

324. To think the mastermind would be his right-hand man.

325. Goro Akechi!

326. Is that documented evidence?

327. Give it up. You can no longer escape.

328. YUSUKE KITAGAWA "DESIRE AND HOPE"

329. It's a good painting.

330. The title is "Desire and Hope"... I see.

331. Humans possess both beauty and ugliness.

332. Th-Thank you very much.

333. This painting has quite an appeal.

334. Um, did you...

335. I threw a cheap challenge to Kitagawa-kun with the intent to encourage him.

336. I apologize.

337. Why would you do that?

338. Madarame and I were good friends, but we had a falling-out.

339. We both had high hopes,

340. but Madarame was swallowed by dark desires as he obtained authority in painting circles,

341. while I went through hardships as the vanquished loser.

342. I didn't want others like him being born from this world.

343. That's why I started this foundation.

344. I didn't know...

345. People change.

346. One time before we cut all ties, he called me up in the middle of the night.

347. He was panicking that the nearby clinics were closed and that his kid had a fever.

348. "What should I do?" he asked.

349. The human heart is a strange thing.

350. It can't completely separate black from white.

351. You've achieved a deserving victory here.

352. So how about it? Would you like our support?

353. Without the overbearing marketing production, of course.

354. Thank you.

355. However, I respectfully decline.

356. What makes you say that?

357. I'm not going to change.

358. I won't be stained by desire.

359. After all, I can see hope.

360. If I am lost, they will extend their hands. If I am wrong, they will chastise me.

361. As long as I have them, I'll be fine.

362. I see...

363. You have good friends.

364. Thank you, Ren.

365. I reiterate my promise to you.

366. Should you ever stumble and fall...

367. I'll extend my assistance to you.

368. It's reported that the money embezzled from the Japanese Art Support Foundation

369. was funneled to the secretary of Diet member Kaneura of the Liberal Prosperity Party.

370. You were a huge help. This one was solved thanks to you.

371. The prosecutor's office has begun an investigation.

372. Saying the names of those companies to rattle the real culprit...

373. Give me a break.

374. Huh?

375. After some thought, it was obvious.

376. Kawanabe was innocent, but there was his subordinate.

377. What if I hadn't said anything?

378. But you did. That's my answer.

379. What would you say if I asked you to be my assistant?

380. I've been looking for a talented partner.

381. I support the Phantom Thieves.

382. Then are we enemies?

383. Certainly, people commit crimes due to desires.

384. But that's not all.

385. I can't help but think the Thieves willfully tamper with people's minds.

386. What if they became reckless?

387. What if they began to control people to satisfy their own desires?

388. It would be the end of the world.

389. That won't happen.

390. Why not?

391. Their actions speak for themselves.

392. They may be criminals in the eyes of adults, but...

393. So we have a difference of opinion.

394. If they keep to their principles and get the job done...

395. Without a doubt,

396. that would be justice.
