**[00:04] ---**
He's coming out! Koichi Tawarada!
**[00:07] ---**
Suspected of being involved in three murders,
**[00:11] ---**
Tawarada is the son of the leader
of the conservative Liberal Prosperity Party,
**[00:14] ---**
Kosei Tawarada, who is himself suspected
of destroying evidence.
**[00:18] ---**
Both men are being taken for questioning
at Mejiro Police Station.
**[00:23] ---**
I heard that these arrests came about
because of something you said, Akechi?
**[00:28] ---**
Merely a coincidence. I got lucky.
**[00:30] ---**
So what'll happen now?
**[00:32] ---**
*I hear the suspect will plead insanity.*
**[00:34] ---**
Huh. I wonder if he really is the
"second coming of the Detective Prince."
**[00:40] ---**
Welcome.
**[00:41] ---**
Hello.
**[00:44] ---**
Oh, that was pre-recorded.
**[00:47] ---**
Blend, please.
**[00:49] ---**
Comin' up.
**[00:51] ---**
The atmosphere here is wonderful, yes?
**[00:55] ---**
Such interesting knick-knacks.
**[00:57] ---**
May I use this?
**[00:58] ---**
Be my guest.
**[01:00] ---**
How about a game?
**[01:02] ---**
I don't know the rules.
**[01:04] ---**
Have you played shogi before?
**[01:06] ---**
A little.
**[01:07] ---**
Then it's fine. You'll pick it quickly.
**[01:15] ---**
Here you go.
**[01:16] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[01:18] ---**
Regarding the latest event...
**[01:20] ---**
What made you realize?
**[01:22] ---**
Sorry.
**[01:25] ---**
That's classified.
**[01:28] ---**
And regarding the Phantom Thieves...
Is it classified, too?
**[01:31] ---**
Yes, that's right. Top secret.
**[01:34] ---**
They scored a point against me
with Junya Kaneshiro.
**[01:38] ---**
You really regard them as the enemy?
**[01:40] ---**
Are we continuing
our previous discussion?
**[01:43] ---**
They uncover evil activities
and make them confess.
**[01:45] ---**
Their methods are problematic to me.
**[01:49] ---**
What if their methods aren't wrong?
**[01:52] ---**
I'll find out soon enough.
**[01:54] ---**
I'm already gathering info about them.
**[02:01] ---**
If you go there, the king will be trapped.
**[02:06] ---**
Before long, I'll be able to reveal...
**[02:10] ---**
The identities of the Phantom Thieves.
**[03:43] ---**
The Phantom Thieves are freakin' amazing!
**[03:46] ---**
They caught someone
even the cops couldn't nab!
**[03:48] ---**
Akechi's case is incredible, too!
**[03:51] ---**
I'm much more of a Phantom Thieves fan!
**[03:54] ---**
Whoa, check it out!
**[03:55] ---**
The number of people accessing
the Phan-Site is skyrocketing!
**[03:58] ---**
A big wave's coming!
**[04:00] ---**
I guess some credit goes to Kaneshiro.
**[04:02] ---**
Credit...
**[04:04] ---**
Sorry, that's going a bit far.
**[04:06] ---**
But look at all these comments.
**[04:09] ---**
Sure there are some weird ones,
but I check and filter them out.
**[04:13] ---**
Hey...
**[04:13] ---**
Don't worry. Leave it to me!
**[04:15] ---**
See ya later!
**[04:17] ---**
Is he okay?
**[04:19] ---**
A big wave's comin'!
**[04:22] ---**
Not you, too?!
**[04:24] ---**
Contain yourself.
**[04:26] ---**
But it really is amazing!
**[04:28] ---**
Wherever you look, there's something
about the Phantom Thieves!
**[04:31] ---**
We're totally famous!
**[04:34] ---**
We're certainly drawing a lot of attention.
**[04:36] ---**
I didn't hear from my sister directly,
**[04:39] ---**
but it sounds like the prosecutor's office
is starting to seriously look into us.
**[04:42] ---**
Meaning the more popular we are,
the more dangerous it gets.
**[04:45] ---**
That's why you're always sayin'
to be careful, right?
**[04:47] ---**
I know, I know!
**[04:48] ---**
I find it hard to believe it
when you say it, Ryuji!
**[04:51] ---**
What's that?!
**[04:53] ---**
There's also the man with the black mask.
**[04:57] ---**
Right. Caution should be our watchword.
**[04:59] ---**
Roger.
**[05:00] ---**
Hey, what do you got planned now, leader?
**[05:02] ---**
Wanna go to Mementos?
Now that we're on a roll!
**[05:05] ---**
What did I just finish telling you?!
**[05:07] ---**
No, I've got plans today.
**[05:09] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[05:11] ---**
Well, it's been a while,
so maybe I'll head to the arcade.
**[05:14] ---**
Hey, you wanna go to that one place?
**[05:15] ---**
You mean Cat Avenue, right?
**[05:17] ---**
What?! I like the sound of that!
**[05:20] ---**
You wanna go, Morgana?
**[05:22] ---**
Yeah, except I'm not a cat...
But if you insist, Lady Ann!
**[05:27] ---**
What are you gonna do, Yusuke?
**[05:29] ---**
Oh, I have plans as well.
**[05:31] ---**
Then let's go!
**[05:31] ---**
Oh. Maybe I'll play Gun Shooting King...
**[05:32] ---**
- Yeah, let's go!
- I can't wait!
**[05:37] ---**
Sorry. Is it any trouble?
**[05:39] ---**
Nah.
**[05:41] ---**
I need advice.
**[05:43] ---**
*Ever since Kaneshiro turned himself in,
the public expects more criminal breakthroughs.*
**[05:48] ---**
*The day before Kaneshiro came forward,*
**[05:50] ---**
*there were reports of calling cards
put up by the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts."*
**[05:53] ---**
Since it's come to this,
we can't overlook them.
**[05:56] ---**
The police are making demands, as well.
**[05:59] ---**
The Phantom Thieves case...
Can I leave it to you?
**[06:02] ---**
Yes, sir. I promise to get you results.
**[06:06] ---**
*It's clear that these abnormal incidents have
caused some anxiety throughout our country.*
**[06:11] ---**
*This situation must be approached
with the utmost seriousness.*
**[06:14] ---**
*I shall continue to put forth great effort
so every citizen can live with peace of mind.*
**[06:21] ---**
A slump?
**[06:23] ---**
Like a bottomless bog.
**[06:25] ---**
No matter what I paint, it's trash.
**[06:27] ---**
Look.
**[06:29] ---**
"Sayuri" has beauty that fascinates people.
**[06:32] ---**
My only goal was to pursue
pure beauty like that.
**[06:36] ---**
I have a scholarship, but if I were to lose it,
I would likely have to leave the school.
**[06:42] ---**
Therefore, I must continually enter
into competitions to remain eligible.
**[06:47] ---**
A painting for money,
acknowledgment, student life...
**[06:51] ---**
I'm no different from Madarame!
**[06:55] ---**
You seem stressed.
**[06:57] ---**
I'll speak frankly.
**[06:59] ---**
I want your help.
**[07:01] ---**
To escape your slump?
**[07:03] ---**
The beauty of a work is born
from the soul of its artist.
**[07:07] ---**
What is a soul? It's the heart.
**[07:10] ---**
Then what is the heart?
How does it bring forth such beauty?
**[07:14] ---**
I must understand the human heart.
**[07:18] ---**
Okay. I'd be glad to help.
**[07:21] ---**
Wonderful!
**[07:23] ---**
What exactly do you need?
**[07:25] ---**
Be my bodyguard.
**[07:27] ---**
To acquire inspiration
I must make leisurely observations.
**[07:31] ---**
In the Metaverse,
which has moved me the most...
**[07:35] ---**
In Mementos.
**[07:41] ---**
You're a card, Mr. Takahashi.
**[07:46] ---**
Yes! Inspiration has struck!
**[07:49] ---**
Such brilliant composition!
**[07:52] ---**
My heart races!
**[07:53] ---**
This is a true treasury of motifs!
**[07:56] ---**
Glad to hear it.
**[07:57] ---**
This distorted realm,
the manifestation of human desire...
**[08:01] ---**
How can a thing that produces such beauty
also create such morbid fabrications?
**[08:06] ---**
But it is also the human heart!
**[08:08] ---**
Hurry. Enemies could–
**[08:14] ---**
How inelegant!
**[08:16] ---**
I shall cut you down
for interrupting my work!
**[08:22] ---**
Goemon!
**[08:25] ---**
Lamia!
**[08:36] ---**
It's complete.
**[08:37] ---**
The title is "Desire."
**[08:39] ---**
The ominousness of desires and
the abyss of the heart I witnessed in Mementos
**[08:44] ---**
helped me to paint a marvelous piece.
**[08:47] ---**
It's because of you. My thanks.
**[08:50] ---**
Not at all...
**[08:53] ---**
No one's looking at it.
**[08:56] ---**
That's because I didn't paint it on a level
that just anyone could understand.
**[08:59] ---**
But if someone with a discerning eye...
**[09:00] ---**
Oh? What's this?
**[09:03] ---**
You see?
**[09:04] ---**
The technique is excellent...
But the composition's mediocre, at best.
**[09:09] ---**
Are you the artist?
**[09:11] ---**
Why do you consider it mediocre?
**[09:13] ---**
"DESIRE"
YUSUKE KITAGAWA
**[09:13] ---**
The title is listed as "Desire",
but the idea is overused.
**[09:18] ---**
If you want to paint an abstract work
with such an old theme,
**[09:21] ---**
you need to inject some
individuality into it.
**[09:25] ---**
Look carefully at this with your own eyes.
**[09:28] ---**
What does this painting tell you?
**[09:31] ---**
It's empty.
**[09:32] ---**
You used color and brushwork
to produce tarted-up "emptiness."
**[09:44] ---**
Certainly, it was emptiness.
**[09:46] ---**
It did not convey the true meaning of desire,
only my conception of it.
**[09:51] ---**
That gentleman's keen eye was correct.
**[09:55] ---**
Don't let it get you down.
**[09:56] ---**
I apologize for my comments in there,
Yusuke Kitagawa.
**[10:01] ---**
Who are you?
**[10:03] ---**
This is who I am.
**[10:06] ---**
Director of the Japanese Art
Support Foundation...
**[10:09] ---**
Akio Kawanabe?
**[10:10] ---**
Do you have some time?
**[10:18] ---**
Please, help yourself.
**[10:21] ---**
Don't concern yourself with the price.
**[10:24] ---**
I've known about you for some time now.
**[10:27] ---**
Your delicate portraits of beautiful women
are reminiscent of "Sayuri," right?
**[10:31] ---**
Are you in a slump at the moment?
**[10:33] ---**
Well...
**[10:35] ---**
My day job is as an art dealer,
**[10:37] ---**
but I'm also the director of a foundation
that invests in promising young artists.
**[10:44] ---**
It's a shame when talent is buried
due to lack of funding.
**[10:48] ---**
What do you think, Kitagawa-kun?
**[10:50] ---**
Would you let us support you?
**[10:53] ---**
Allow us to remove your financial anxiety
and supply you with a creative environment.
**[10:58] ---**
Materials or themes, and if needed,
we can even prepare a studio.
**[11:04] ---**
Your work could sell well.
**[11:06] ---**
You're not only handsome, but a former
student of the infamous Madarame.
**[11:10] ---**
I'm positive customers would jump
at the chance to meet you.
**[11:13] ---**
Wait a minute. What does that mean?
**[11:16] ---**
That I would only be successful
because I have a potential sales hook?
**[11:20] ---**
Do you believe your work
could sell on its own merits?
**[11:25] ---**
I thought you were prepared
to make a living as an artist.
**[11:29] ---**
Shut your mouth!
**[11:30] ---**
Without money, it's hard to eat.
**[11:33] ---**
That's reality.
**[11:35] ---**
If you change your mind, contact me.
**[11:40] ---**
Such vulgarity!
**[11:43] ---**
Yusuke...
**[11:45] ---**
- Sorry about yesterday.
**[11:46] ---**
- Sorry about yesterday.
- I'll contact you again.
**[11:50] ---**
Hi.
**[11:52] ---**
Hang out with me.
**[11:55] ---**
YONGEN-JAYA BATTING CENTER
**[11:55] ---**
While pursuing the Phantom Thieves,
I went over the Madarame case,
**[11:59] ---**
and came across dark rumors
about Kawanabe.
**[12:02] ---**
He offers to sponsor young,
aspiring painters,
**[12:06] ---**
but ties them to disadvantageous
exclusive contracts,
**[12:08] ---**
then demands immense payments,
supposedly to cover the cost of the exhibit.
**[12:13] ---**
Other than that,
**[12:15] ---**
he takes kickbacks from scholarships.
**[12:17] ---**
But I lack proof.
**[12:19] ---**
Why tell me?
**[12:21] ---**
The one you were with, Yusuke Kitagawa,
was Madarame's former disciple, yes?
**[12:25] ---**
Kawanabe and Madarame
were once fellow students.
**[12:28] ---**
It'd be a damn shame if Kitagawa
fell prey to both of them.
**[12:34] ---**
It's got nothing to do with
pursuing the Phantom Thieves.
**[12:37] ---**
People's desires cause them
to commit crimes.
**[12:39] ---**
As a detective, I uncover those crimes.
**[12:50] ---**
Makes it seem like
I'm a Phantom Thief.
**[12:53] ---**
How about this?
**[12:55] ---**
You could set up a meeting with Kawanabe.
**[12:57] ---**
You'd be nearby,
so Kitagawa would be protected.
**[13:00] ---**
Then I can get my proof.
**[13:06] ---**
Sounds good.
**[13:11] ---**
I got a call from Kawanabe.
**[13:14] ---**
Apparently there's a Foundation-sponsored
public exhibition coming up.
**[13:18] ---**
He said that if I'm confident,
I should exhibit a painting.
**[13:21] ---**
Fine, I shall.
**[13:23] ---**
I'll show him that I have real talent.
**[13:25] ---**
For that sake, I'll paint and paint
until I drop!
**[13:30] ---**
That's cool, but...
**[13:31] ---**
But what?
**[13:33] ---**
What's this?
**[13:34] ---**
I thought being here would inspire me.
**[13:37] ---**
The theme is the anguish of original sin!
**[13:40] ---**
I will bring anguish to its utmost limits!
**[13:42] ---**
Easy for you to say–
**[13:43] ---**
Don't move!
**[13:44] ---**
You lowered your arms!
**[13:46] ---**
Bend your back more
and raise your leg higher!
**[13:49] ---**
Don't move!
**[14:32] ---**
I'm stumped.
**[14:34] ---**
The flow of money eventually
comes to an end.
**[14:37] ---**
Hayashi Holdings, Tsuji Gallery,
Harada Managing...
**[14:40] ---**
I've identified the principals.
**[14:42] ---**
How are they able to hide it so cleverly?
**[14:45] ---**
Am I missing something?
**[14:49] ---**
You can't force them to cooperate
in an investigation?
**[14:52] ---**
Without concrete proof,
I can't get a warrant.
**[14:56] ---**
Therefore, my options are limited.
**[15:02] ---**
Huh...
**[15:03] ---**
Shujin's student council president?
**[15:06] ---**
Well? Is he making any trouble at school?
**[15:09] ---**
Oh, not at all.
**[15:12] ---**
Is it that complicated?
**[15:15] ---**
Desires?
**[15:16] ---**
I don't really get it,
**[15:18] ---**
but wanting to be praised by someone,
wanting money...
**[15:21] ---**
I think those are fine examples of passion.
**[15:24] ---**
Passion?
**[15:25] ---**
Yes, but...
**[15:26] ---**
If we're talkin' that, then I was full
of desires while on the track team.
**[15:31] ---**
Wanting to win, beat everyone else,
**[15:33] ---**
break records and
have girls scream over me...
**[15:36] ---**
What else?
**[15:38] ---**
For the sake of the other members...
**[15:40] ---**
When I'd get tired, if I thought I was doin' it
for someone else, I could hang in there.
**[15:44] ---**
Someone else...
**[15:46] ---**
I don't think having desires is bad.
**[15:49] ---**
It depends on what you do with them.
**[15:51] ---**
That's right.
**[15:52] ---**
If they give you that feeling,
like "I'm gonna do it!",
**[15:55] ---**
then I think it's a positive.
**[15:57] ---**
But I'm pursuing beauty
as pure as the "Sayuri"...
**[16:00] ---**
Yusuke, you call it "pure beauty,"
**[16:03] ---**
but the first time I saw "Sayuri,"
it felt more gentle to me.
**[16:08] ---**
I mean, it felt like she was watching over me,
telling me everything was gonna be okay.
**[16:18] ---**
Ann said "gentleness."
**[16:20] ---**
The heart is dark, ugly,
and distorted like this,
**[16:24] ---**
and yet, there's also
the beauty of loving others...
**[16:29] ---**
Say, Joker...
**[16:31] ---**
When my mother was painting "Sayuri",
what do you think was on her mind?
**[16:36] ---**
She wanted it to impart something with me,
and everyone else who saw it...
**[16:40] ---**
Something?
**[16:42] ---**
Love, regret, loneliness, anxiety,
calm, forgiveness... and hope.
**[16:49] ---**
All of the emotions my mother felt.
**[16:51] ---**
That's why "Sayuri" is beautiful.
**[16:56] ---**
Thank you, Joker.
**[16:58] ---**
Just as my mother created
that painting for others,
**[17:01] ---**
I will wield the brush again to give hope
to all who see my paintings.
**[17:04] ---**
I like the sound of that.
**[17:07] ---**
Your patience in spending time with me
made me able to arrive at this feeling.
**[17:13] ---**
Watch me.
**[17:14] ---**
Someday, I will use my art
to paint over the blackness of this world.
**[17:20] ---**
I'm sure it will be beautiful.
**[17:23] ---**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[17:31] ---**
Oh?
**[17:33] ---**
I saw the list of works to be exhibited.
Looks like you'll have one on display.
**[17:36] ---**
Yes, that is my intention.
**[17:38] ---**
Perhaps you should reconsider,
before you embarrass yourself.
**[17:42] ---**
After all, the winner's spot
is not simply yours for the taking.
**[17:45] ---**
Either way, I don't mind.
The more the merrier, after all!
**[17:50] ---**
Director.
**[17:51] ---**
Yes.
**[17:54] ---**
Mr. Kawanabe!
**[17:56] ---**
Have you heard of Hayashi Holdings,
Tsuji Gallery, and Harada Managing?
**[18:01] ---**
I've never heard of them,
but why do you ask?
**[18:05] ---**
Nevermind.
**[18:07] ---**
Ren, what was that about?
**[18:09] ---**
Nothing.
**[18:12] ---**
The winner's spot...
**[18:15] ---**
I was hoping to prove my talent to him
by taking the top prize home.
**[18:18] ---**
But that no longer matters to me.
**[18:21] ---**
Instead, I will enter my painting
merely to expose it to others.
**[18:29] ---**
Shit! Shit! That brat!
**[18:31] ---**
Since he said the names of the companies,
Kawanabe is sure to catch on!
**[18:35] ---**
I have to get rid of this stuff!
**[18:36] ---**
It's hard to see
what's right under your nose.
**[18:38] ---**
No wonder nothing came up
when I investigated Kawanabe.
**[18:42] ---**
To think the mastermind
would be his right-hand man.
**[18:46] ---**
Goro Akechi!
**[18:48] ---**
Is that documented evidence?
**[18:52] ---**
Give it up. You can no longer escape.
**[18:58] ---**
WINNING PIECE: YUSUKE KITAGAWA
"DESIRE AND HOPE"
**[19:02] ---**
It's a good painting.
**[19:03] ---**
The title is "Desire and Hope"... I see.
**[19:07] ---**
Humans possess both beauty and ugliness.
**[19:10] ---**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[19:13] ---**
This painting has quite an appeal.
**[19:16] ---**
Um, did you...
**[19:18] ---**
I threw a cheap challenge to Kitagawa-kun
with the intent to encourage him.
**[19:23] ---**
I apologize.
**[19:24] ---**
Why would you do that?
**[19:26] ---**
Madarame and I were good friends,
but we had a falling-out.
**[19:32] ---**
We both had high hopes,
**[19:34] ---**
but Madarame was swallowed by dark desires
as he obtained authority in painting circles,
**[19:38] ---**
while I went through hardships
as the vanquished loser.
**[19:42] ---**
I didn't want others like him
being born from this world.
**[19:46] ---**
That's why I started this foundation.
**[19:49] ---**
I didn't know...
**[19:51] ---**
People change.
**[19:53] ---**
One time before we cut all ties,
he called me up in the middle of the night.
**[19:58] ---**
He was panicking that the nearby clinics
were closed and that his kid had a fever.
**[20:03] ---**
"What should I do?" he asked.
**[20:06] ---**
The human heart is a strange thing.
**[20:08] ---**
It can't completely separate
black from white.
**[20:11] ---**
You've achieved a deserving victory here.
**[20:14] ---**
So how about it?
Would you like our support?
**[20:17] ---**
Without the overbearing
marketing production, of course.
**[20:21] ---**
Thank you.
**[20:24] ---**
However, I respectfully decline.
**[20:27] ---**
What makes you say that?
**[20:29] ---**
I'm not going to change.
**[20:31] ---**
I won't be stained by desire.
**[20:33] ---**
After all, I can see hope.
**[20:36] ---**
If I am lost, they will extend their hands.
If I am wrong, they will chastise me.
**[20:43] ---**
As long as I have them, I'll be fine.
**[20:45] ---**
I see...
**[20:49] ---**
You have good friends.
**[20:56] ---**
Thank you, Ren.
**[20:59] ---**
I reiterate my promise to you.
**[21:02] ---**
Should you ever stumble and fall...
**[21:04] ---**
I'll extend my assistance to you.
**[22:39] ---**
*It's reported that the money embezzled
from the Japanese Art Support Foundation*
**[22:43] ---**
*was funneled to the secretary of Diet member
Kaneura of the Liberal Prosperity Party.*
**[22:48] ---**
You were a huge help.
This one was solved thanks to you.
**[22:48] ---**
*The prosecutor's office has
begun an investigation.*
**[22:51] ---**
Saying the names of those companies
to rattle the real culprit...
**[22:55] ---**
Give me a break.
**[22:56] ---**
Huh?
**[22:57] ---**
After some thought, it was obvious.
**[22:59] ---**
Kawanabe was innocent,
but there was his subordinate.
**[23:04] ---**
What if I hadn't said anything?
**[23:06] ---**
But you did. That's my answer.
**[23:11] ---**
What would you say if
I asked you to be my assistant?
**[23:15] ---**
I've been looking for a talented partner.
**[23:18] ---**
I support the Phantom Thieves.
**[23:20] ---**
Then are we enemies?
**[23:21] ---**
Certainly, people commit crimes
due to desires.
**[23:24] ---**
But that's not all.
**[23:26] ---**
I can't help but think the Thieves
willfully tamper with people's minds.
**[23:30] ---**
What if they became reckless?
**[23:32] ---**
What if they began to control people
to satisfy their own desires?
**[23:36] ---**
It would be the end of the world.
**[23:39] ---**
That won't happen.
**[23:40] ---**
Why not?
**[23:41] ---**
Their actions speak for themselves.
**[23:44] ---**
They may be criminals
in the eyes of adults, but...
**[23:47] ---**
So we have a difference of opinion.
**[23:49] ---**
If they keep to their principles
and get the job done...
**[23:56] ---**
Without a doubt,
**[23:58] ---**
that would be justice.
