PERSONA5 the Animation 1x22

Directed by

As public opinion of the Phantoms plummet following Kunikazu's death, Haru learns of a fake calling card placed in Kobayakawa's office, leading the gang to realise that someone set them up. As Sae is put in charge of investigating the Phantoms, Futaba deduces that someone had imitated Medjed and hacked the Phansite to make the Phantom Thieves more popular on purpose. Later, Ann calls Ren to meet up with her and Shiho, who thanks them for saving her life and reminds them of why they became Phantom Thieves in the first place. Afterwards, the gang, upon discovering Mishima has become too obsessed with the fame he received from the Phansite, find his Shadow in Mementos, choosing not to destroy him but instead urge him to think things through for himself, helping the real Mishima find the right path as a result.

1. OKUMURA FOODS CEO SUFFERS FROM CARDIAC ARREST

2. Cardiac arrest...

3. Haru's dad will be all right, won't he?

4. I'm sorry...

5. I hate to say this, but usually after such a report,

6. it's followed by a confirmation of death.

7. No way...

8. Haru...

9. Why? Are we responsible?

10. Of course not!

11. We forced a change of heart and it went well, like always, right?

12. Right?

13. I can't make heads or tails of it either.

14. With this, preparations are finally in place, yes?

15. The public has praised them as "allies of justice," before they strike them back to the ground.

16. This is you all over. No mercy.

17. Yes, I've already spoken to human resources about it.

18. Everyone will dance to our tune.

19. Including her.

20. What?

21. They found a calling card in the principal's office, too!

22. I'm sorry to ask again,

23. but your father hadn't said anything about the Phantom Thieves, yes?

24. That's right.

25. Please contact me if something catches your attention, no matter how trivial it seems.

26. The principal?

27. Good work investigating the Okumura home.

28. You wanted to speak to me?

29. Niijima-kun, I'm officially putting you in charge of this case.

30. Personnel and planning will be up to you. The police will also be under your command.

31. Why would you choose someone as inexperienced as myself?

32. You were the first person to focus on the psychotic breakdown incidents

33. and you've steadily been investigating this all along.

34. It's a recognition of your achievements, in my own way.

35. I'm honored, sir.

36. We'll have to prepare a higher position for you in the event that you succeed.

37. Where's Haru?

38. Not here yet. She called this meeting, so we should wait for her.

39. People are posting that we killed Mr. Okumura!

40. So it's already begun...

41. What's that mean?

42. The CEO collapsed the way he did, during an apology conference that our group caused.

43. It's no wonder that some would make a fuss about it.

44. Still, they were raving about us so much, and now they're treating us like murderers?

45. They don't know a damn thing about it!

46. Haru!

47. Sorry I'm late.

48. It's okay.

49. My condolences...

50. I'm okay.

51. Listen, I wanted to ask something...

52. Did you all target the principal?

53. A public prosecutor came to my home this afternoon.

54. A woman named Niijima-san.

55. I overheard her saying a calling card was found in the principal's office.

56. What?

57. That's the first we've heard of it!

58. Then who would leave one there?

59. Hell if I know, but...

60. That calling card is a fake.

61. Someone must be trying to set us up.

62. If they're making it look like we're responsible for the principal, too...

63. then the Phantom Thieves are being cast as murderers.

64. The persecution against us will only get worse.

65. Futaba?

66. There's something on my mind.

67. I'm home.

68. Welcome home.

69. Sis, want some dinner?

70. No thanks. I just came home to get a change of clothes.

71. Staying at work?

72. I've been entrusted with a very important task.

73. You look awful though... Are you okay?

74. I can't afford to fail. It's all over if I can't win this.

75. Still, if you were to collapse from exhaustion—

76. This is my one chance to get a promotion!

77. Things are going to get a little crazy at Shujin starting tomorrow.

78. But don't worry. It'll be over soon.

79. Is the important task about the Phantom Thieves?

80. It's none of your concern.

81. So, it seems the police are investigating the school.

82. I've been told they want to question all of the students.

83. Let's see... Ren Amamiya. Ah, you're the one currently on probation.

84. Says here you had a dispute with Mr. Kamoshida?

85. Yes, I guess.

86. You spend time with quite an interesting group.

87. Yusuke Kitagawa... Oh, even Haru Okumura.

88. Well, the more friends the better, right?

89. I see... Sorry to have taken your time.

90. You can go.

91. Oh, almost forgot. Just one more thing I wanted to ask.

92. Do you think the Phantom Thieves are associated with this school?

93. Maybe.

94. Kids these days sure are elusive.

95. Thank you.

96. I see. They even have my name.

97. Sounds like we can't take the police lightly either.

98. Everyone was asked the same questions.

99. It's a tried and true tactic.

100. To fluster the subject, then wait for them to slip up.

101. You didn't do that, did you?

102. I don't think so, but I would've been done for if they saw how sweaty my hands were.

103. So you did find anything out, Futaba?

104. The Medjed I banned this summer...

105. wasn't the real one.

106. I was curious and looked into the code they were using again.

107. Code is like fingerprints. No matter how you try to disguise it, quirks will appear.

108. This isn't the code of someone interested in cracking.

109. It's definitely not an official Medjed member.

110. What do you mean?

111. So someone used the Medjed name to provoke the Phantom Thieves?

112. For what purpose?

113. Maybe just for fun?

114. Yeah, maybe.

115. Remember, it was around the time our group started gettin' popular.

116. So they wanted to get in on the hype?

117. Hold on. Isn't it the opposite?

118. Perhaps they used the Medjed name to make the Phantom Thieves known...

119. Actually, I was thinking the same thing.

120. As I said, code is like fingerprints.

121. I found the same fingerprints somewhere else.

122. Where?

123. The Phantom Aficionado Website.

124. There were traces of it being illegally tampered with from the outside.

125. The Phan-Site?

126. Yeah. The online traffic was immense right before summer vacation.

127. Same with the rankings. Particularly the time when Mr. Okumura ranked first.

128. So you're saying my father's number one ranking was fabricated?

129. Yeah, by whoever used Medjed's name to stir up the Phantom Thieves.

130. I think I'm starting to see the big picture.

131. The result of the Medjed case brought attention to us.

132. And our reason for targeting Okumura was influenced by the public and rankings...

133. The perfect timing, and the perfect target.

134. If both of those had been set up...

135. It all fits.

136. So, the culprit was planning to put the blame on us from the start?

137. It's just a hypothesis. We lack any hard evidence.

138. But if everything you've said is correct,

139. it would mean we've been playing right into their hand for the past two months or so.

140. We've been manipulated.

141. We're overthinkin' this!

142. I mean, we're talkin' both the rankings and Medjed!

143. If this was all a set up, then what kind of guy did we make an enemy of?

144. Actually, Sis told me she's been given an important task regarding the Phantom Thieves.

145. Seriously? That means...

146. Yes, I'm sure of it. The Prosecutor's Office is making its move.

147. That questioning today must be part of it.

148. Prosecutors Office?

149. My sister is part of the Special Investigations Unit.

150. An elite team that deals with huge cases like government scandals.

151. Their presence means somebody's screwed.

152. They're the best investigation force in the country.

153. It's a whole new level than before, when the police were just being nosey.

154. Are they going to catch us?

155. Calm down. We mustn't do anything to stand out.

156. Right.

157. Let's wait and see what happens, for now.

158. The Phantom Thieves are in hot water.

159. I know. I heard they're killers.

160. Hello? What's up, Shiho?

161. Arrest the bastards!

162. Can't believe I was a fan of murderers!

163. Unforgiveable

164. - Agreed! - Arrest them!

165. Talk about doing a complete 180...

166. Ever since my father passed away,

167. all I hear about are accusations and betrayals from people in the company.

168. Must be rough.

169. As a shareholder, I should be looking into how the business is run.

170. It seems the execs want to push out those they dislike, while using the others.

171. All they think about is personal gain.

172. When at a time like this, the company really needs to come together.

173. If you're not playing, let me.

174. Sure.

175. That kid is awesome!

176. It's why they call him King!

177. That's him?

178. Wait long?

179. Sorry I asked to meet in a place like this.

180. Sheesh. The cops have nothing on us.

181. All that questioning came up empty.

182. You wanted to talk to me?

183. Right, this.

184. He's a young, handsome, up-and-coming actor.

185. If you change the heart of a guy like him,

186. I bet public opinion will flip again and you'll regain their support.

187. Don't you think?

188. Mishima?

189. He's gotta be doing some shady stuff. I just know it.

190. And no, I'm not saying that out of jealousy.

191. I support the Phantom Thieves.

192. The Phantom Thieves are changing... No, I'm changing the world's view.

193. The Phan-Site... The Phantom Thieves can't end like this!

194. I won't let it end!

195. I agree.

196. The Phantom Thieves can't end like this.

197. I just sent the data to you.

198. Make sure you share it with the others.

199. Well, I'll be counting on you again.

200. This is an important time for Hifumi, so she needs as much recognition as possible.

201. Yes, of course.

202. Then I'll see you later, Hifumi.

203. Right.

204. Spend more money on publicity, huh?

205. Well, I can understand how she feels.

206. My apologies.

207. I'll try talking with my mother later.

208. Anyway, we have a meeting.

209. Gather the staff.

210. I remember you...

211. Thank you for helping me back then.

212. Not at all...

213. If you'd like someone to talk to, I'm willing.

214. Have you been to this church before?

215. I play shogi with the priest.

216. I can relax and gather my thoughts here.

217. That was my mother earlier.

218. Ever since I was young, it would please her whenever I won at shogi.

219. And that also made me happy, so I've done my best since.

220. But lately, she's been a bit too earnest,

221. setting up interviews, and now some cheesy photo shoot.

222. You should refuse.

223. I couldn't possibly...

224. If I don't live up to my mother's expectations...

225. You're a strange one, aren't you?

226. It's like you're a good listener, or more like you have this strange charm

227. that makes me want to tell you everything.

228. Really?

229. Awaken, dragon! Let your shadowy hellfire consume them all!

230. Dark Inferno...

231. Rook!

232. S-Sorry. When I get worked up, I suddenly...

233. About the only thing I can do is play shogi.

234. I've done it for so long, so if I could ever help someone else,

235. I feel like I'd be proud.

236. Proud of myself.

237. - Waiting for the end of the Phantom Thieves - Give 'em the death penalty!

238. - Give 'em the death penalty! - I bet they'll be arrested.

239. I disagree

240. I have a problem I can't tell anyone! Please, Phantom Thieves!

241. Do you have some time after school?

242. Suzui-san!

243. Amamiya-kun, right? Long time no see.

244. How are you?

245. Good, thank you. I'm fine now.

246. Shiho worked really hard in physical therapy.

247. Every time I watched her, tears came to my eyes.

248. Oh, come on. It's thanks to you for supporting me, Ann.

249. I'm glad.

250. But you remember what happened, right?

251. Shiho's mom says she's going to have her go to another school.

252. But before I do, I'd like to go up on that roof one more time.

253. To sort out my feelings.

254. It's high.

255. You know, I didn't want to die.

256. I just needed to escape...

257. It was like another person was screaming, "no more!" inside of me, telling me to come here.

258. It almost felt like that person was trying to kill me...

259. But that person was me. My weak self.

260. So I wanted to see if she would show up again.

261. But she's gone, isn't she?

262. Yeah... She's gone for good.

263. Thank you for all of your encouragement.

264. Shiho...

265. I'll always follow your modeling career.

266. I won't make you feel ashamed of me and I won't give up, no matter what!

267. Thanks to Shiho, I remembered.

268. That's how we got our start.

269. Thinking if more people like Shiho were out there.

270. Yeah.

271. No matter what's happened, this isn't the time to back down or be sad.

272. Thanks for coming with me.

273. No problem.

274. Gather 'round! Look at this!

275. Phantom Aficionado Website

276. "Purge! I'll punish anyone who attacks the Phantom Thieves"?

277. This is...

278. Hey, is this for real?

279. Futaba, explain this.

280. I thought I'd check the Phan-Site and saw it.

281. Has it already gotten public attention?

282. No.

283. Before the admin could post the message, I blocked it so nobody else has seen it.

284. Nice save, Futaba.

285. Mishima...

286. Let's go to Mementos.

287. We may see Mishima's Shadow.

288. Are we going to change his heart?

289. I don't know.

290. Let's try talking to it first.

291. But this is Mishima's request.

292. He must be looking for help.

293. Bingo!

294. You guys... The Phantom Thieves are here!

295. So you wanna change my heart?

296. After everything I've done for you guys?

297. "Purge!" The opposite effect would happen if you posted something like that!

298. Shut up! Don't give me orders!

299. I'm thinking about strategy more than anyone.

300. I'm the Phantom Thieves' producer!

301. Producer?

302. I was always just a zero. Someone to be ignored.

303. But now I'm the one who changes society!

304. Finally! Finally I can see the light!

305. So why are you trying to stop me?

306. Mishima...

307. Wh-What do you want?

308. That look...

309. It's all your fault.

310. It was enough at first, knowing the rumored Phantom Thieves were right under my nose.

311. But you just had to get close to me!

312. I want to be a hero who gets noticed, too!

313. I know I did it the wrong way!

314. But if I didn't do it at all, I'd...

315. D-Do it. Go ahead.

316. You're gonna change my heart, right?

317. Don't back down. Face yourself.

318. We will do the same.

319. We'll face ourselves, think of what we can do,

320. and I swear we'll get ourselves out of this predicament.

321. B-Big words! What can you do?

322. When the world's against you, like you're living in an impossibly hard video game?

323. What can I...

324. MIDTERM EXAMS

325. I don't know why I said that.

326. Feels like an evil spirit left my body.

327. The Thieves have been under a lot of criticism lately,

328. but I don't wanna shut down the Phan-Site.

329. As long as there are voices crying out for the Phantom Thieves, I'll help them be heard.

330. I know it's hard to have no self-confidence and not be able to raise your voice in reality.

331. Oh right...

332. Phan-Site aside, I've started writing about the Phantom Thieves on my computer.

333. Like a documentary.

334. I'll do my best to record it all. And I'll root for the Phantom Thieves to the end.

335. Tell the others, too.

336. SCHOOL FESTIVAL

337. Has something good happened?

338. You're playing with more energy.

339. To be honest, I'm in a tight spot...

340. but it's our turn to catch up now.

341. And now, tomorrow's forecast.

342. We're getting deeper into fall, and with it will be chilly wind. For now—

343. All right, about your final crime.

344. This was delivered to your latest target, the one you decided would prove your innocence.

345. It's addressed to me.

346. Now, explain everything to me.
