[00:00] ---
    Yes. I've received the reports
    on Kaneshiro's case.
[00:05] ---
    But to think the Phantom Thieves would
    attempt something absurd like social reform...
[00:11] ---
    You're right. I'm not pleased about
    the general public's support of them either.
[00:18] ---
    Actually, there is one countermeasure
    he brought in that seems usable.
[00:26] ---
    Ah, I thought as much. I had a feeling
    it was too brutal to be his own idea.
[00:32] ---
    Yes. We'll clean this up quickly
    and put it behind us.
[02:08] ---
    FINAL EXAM
[02:17] ---
    Okay! Time's up!
[02:20] ---
    So you did pretty well
    with this one, yeah?
[02:23] ---
    Maybe.
[02:24] ---
    Now for the long-awaited...
[02:28] ---
    Fireworks!
[02:29] ---
    I can't wait!
[03:07] ---
    It started already!
[03:08] ---
    What the hell? Did we come
    just to see a crowd? Jeez!
[03:25] ---
    This sucks...
[03:34] ---
    Jeez! I put on a nice kimono
    and it gets soaked!
[03:44] ---
    What?
[03:50] ---
    Hey.
[03:52] ---
    That seems uncomfortable.
[03:53] ---
    Then at least buy me a towel!
[03:56] ---
    Let's go inside.
[04:02] ---
    It's totally crowded.
[04:04] ---
    Everyone had the same idea.
[04:07] ---
    This bites.
[04:09] ---
    When we've got both finishing finals
    and reforming Kaneshiro to celebrate...
[04:13] ---
    Ryuji, lower your voice.
[04:14] ---
    It's fine. Everybody's too wrapped up
    in their own business to hear me.
[04:19] ---
    Still, we have to be careful!
[04:21] ---
    Okay, okay...
[04:23] ---
    I kind of get how Ryuji feels.
[04:25] ---
    I thought we'd make fun memories tonight...
[04:28] ---
    Even though we're
    the hot topic of the nation,
[04:31] ---
    aren't heroes that lurk in the shadows boring?
[04:33] ---
    Yeah, well...
[04:34] ---
    I'm not satisfied with this.
[04:36] ---
    I wanna change the world with a loud bang,
    like a huge firework!
[04:40] ---
    But it's not going to be easy
    finding a bigger target than Kaneshiro.
[04:45] ---
    I know...
[04:49] ---
    So you won't tell me, no matter what?
[04:52] ---
    I have nothing more to say about that.
[04:56] ---
    I see.
[04:57] ---
    If so, I have ways of making you talk.
[05:00] ---
    Huh? What's that supposed to–
[05:02] ---
    Thanks for the drink.
[05:10] ---
    With the Kaneshiro case, the popularity
    of the Phantom Thieves has increased,
[05:14] ---
    PHANTOM THIEVES, HACKER ORGANIZATION
[05:14] ---
    even garnering the attention
    of other countries.
[05:18] ---
    The international hacktivist group "Medjed"
    has released a statement on their website
[05:23] ---
    as a declaration of war against
    the Phantom Thieves.
[05:28] ---
    This is that message.
[05:30] ---
    "To the Phantom Thieves
    causing an uproar in Japan...
[05:34] ---
    Do not speak of your false justice.
[05:36] ---
    We are the true executors of justice.
[05:40] ---
    However, we are magnanimous.
[05:42] ---
    Phantom Thieves, if you agree to
    a change of heart,
[05:46] ---
    we will accept you as our own.
[05:49] ---
    We are Medjed. We are unseen.
    We will eliminate evil.
[05:55] ---
    If you reject our offer,
    the hammer of justice will find you."
[05:59] ---
    Easy for them to say!
[06:01] ---
    It's all over the net.
[06:03] ---
    They inconsiderately rile people up.
    The creeps.
[06:07] ---
    Like we'd listen to some jerks
    we've never met to join them.
[06:12] ---
    The news said they're an international
    hacker group, remember?
[06:15] ---
    Technically, they're crackers.
[06:18] ---
    Those who use the internet
    to illegally access and alter data.
[06:24] ---
    Madjed is such a group recognized by
    the larger international community.
[06:29] ---
    Medjed's original inspiration was an evil god
    from the Book of the Dead.
[06:34] ---
    I guess at first they
    uncovered corporate fraud.
[06:38] ---
    But eventually, they used the info
    they found to threaten companies.
[06:42] ---
    Though they haven't been
    very active until this...
[06:45] ---
    Not ringin' any bells.
[06:47] ---
    Same here. We probably don't
    have to worry too much.
[06:50] ---
    I agree.
[06:52] ---
    And it's not as if they know our identities.
[06:57] ---
    Amamiya!
[06:59] ---
    Check this out.
[07:00] ---
    It's on the Phan-site's forum.
[07:04] ---
    Weird, right?
    Seems childish for a Medjed stunt.
[07:09] ---
    Well, I can deal with this easily enough.
[07:14] ---
    Um... Look, this was on your test too, right?
[07:19] ---
    It'll be important later, so don't–
[07:27] ---
    Hey! Turn off your phone during class...
[07:31] ---
    What is this?!
[07:33] ---
    Are you bullying me?!
[07:36] ---
    Go on, hurry and turn them off!
[07:39] ---
    I'll confiscate any phones not turned off!
[07:42] ---
    Okay. That's enough.
[07:46] ---
    The reaction is excellent.
[07:49] ---
    I got good data this time around, too.
[07:52] ---
    I've noticed lately that
    your body's been getting toned.
[07:59] ---
    It's not a problem for me.
[08:02] ---
    I'm grateful to have a guinea pig
    with a healthy lifestyle.
[08:07] ---
    You're still a bit dizzy
    from the medicine, right?
[08:10] ---
    Hang out in the waiting room for a while.
[08:23] ---
    Nice to meet you,
    leader of the Phantom Thieves.
[08:27] ---
    I am the one called Alibaba.
[08:28] ---
    Did you like my jingle during class today?
[08:30] ---
    What's wrong?
[08:33] ---
    Alibaba? Who's that?
[08:35] ---
    It seems you've drawn the attention
    of a formidable opponent.
[08:37] ---
    Medjed.
[08:38] ---
    I could provide info on them.
[08:39] ---
    Then you would be able to get rid of them.
[08:46] ---
    This is all I can prove at the moment.
[08:48] ---
    But you'll be able to take care of Medjed.
[08:50] ---
    However, that's if we make a deal.
[08:53] ---
    I don't mind if you tell
    your comrades about me.
[08:55] ---
    After all, it has to be unanimous
    with your group, right?
[08:57] ---
    A deal? My comrades?
[08:59] ---
    They even know we
    decide on things unanimously...
[09:02] ---
    - I've prepared the necessary tool on my end.
    - Look forward to it.
[09:07] ---
    Necessary?
[09:10] ---
    There is someone whose heart
    I would like you to steal.
[09:17] ---
    They know everything about us!
[09:22] ---
    "Steal someone's heart," "unanimous"...
    How do they know?
[09:26] ---
    My guess is that they
    may have traced our chat log.
[09:30] ---
    It's definitely something
    a hacker would do.
[09:32] ---
    Then, is this person Medjed?
[09:36] ---
    Why? They said they'd "deal" with them.
[09:39] ---
    They're obviously enemies.
[09:41] ---
    I know, but...
[09:43] ---
    Maybe they had a falling out or something.
[09:45] ---
    Can you send a message?
[09:47] ---
    I get an error every time I try.
[09:49] ---
    Perhaps the receiving end doesn't exist.
[09:51] ---
    This is kind of scary.
    Accounts being hacked...
[09:56] ---
    Does that mean ours, too?
[09:58] ---
    That's very likely.
[10:00] ---
    C-Crap! I better delete some stuff!
[10:02] ---
    What are you panicking for?
[10:04] ---
    Sounds pervy...
[10:05] ---
    N-No! It's nothin' like that!
[10:09] ---
    Anyway, let's be careful using our phones.
[10:12] ---
    Important matters should be face-to-face.
[10:14] ---
    We shouldn't give our unknown intruder
    any more info than we already have.
[10:20] ---
    Let me see it once more.
[10:24] ---
    What is this "necessary"?
[10:26] ---
    Not sure.
[10:29] ---
    There is someone whose heart
    I would like you to steal.
[10:30] ---
    Who could they want us to reform?
[10:39] ---
    Oh, you're back, huh?
[10:41] ---
    A letter came.
[10:44] ---
    Addressed to you, weirdly enough.
[10:45] ---
    MR. REN AMAMIYA
[11:03] ---
    Enjoy.
[11:06] ---
    A calling card?
[11:08] ---
    It's from Alibaba?
[11:10] ---
    Maybe.
[11:15] ---
    It doesn't look suspicious.
[11:17] ---
    No stamp or sender's name.
[11:19] ---
    Someone must've delivered it directly.
[11:21] ---
    Are we supposed to use this?
[11:23] ---
    Dunno...
[11:30] ---
    It's from Alibaba.
[11:31] ---
    What?!
[11:33] ---
    Did you get what I sent you?
[11:35] ---
    So it was from them.
[11:35] ---
    Now steal that heart.
[11:37] ---
    Steal...
[11:38] ---
    What are they talkin' about?
[11:40] ---
    We can't do that when we don't
    even know the target's name.
[11:42] ---
    Ready to go?
[11:43] ---
    What should we do?
[11:44] ---
    But if we can't message them back...
[11:48] ---
    Tell me why.
[11:49] ---
    I've set it so you can respond.
[11:53] ---
    Ren: Who are you?
[11:54] ---
    I'm Alibaba.
[11:55] ---
    Don't waste my time
    with meaningless chatter.
[11:57] ---
    Aren't you able to steal a heart
    as long as you have a calling card?
[11:58] ---
    Tell me why you're unable to do it.
[12:00] ---
    I think they've got the wrong idea.
[12:03] ---
    Tell' em. We need the target's name.
[12:08] ---
    Ren: We need the target's name.
[12:09] ---
    A name? You can't do it
    if I don't tell you?
[12:11] ---
    Ren: That's right.
[12:13] ---
    ...I see.
[12:15] ---
    I suppose past calling cards
    did have names on them.
[12:16] ---
    One moment.
[12:19] ---
    Very well, I'll tell you.
[12:21] ---
    The target is Futaba Sakura.
[12:26] ---
    Futaba Sakura?
[12:28] ---
    Okay. I told you the name.
[12:29] ---
    Now change her heart.
[12:30] ---
    If you don't do it, I'll expose
    your identity to the public.
[12:32] ---
    Go public?!
[12:33] ---
    Now they're threatening us?!
[12:35] ---
    First of all, we can't steal Futaba Sakura's
    heart if she doesn't have a Palace.
[12:40] ---
    We also need a location and
    a keyword for the Palace.
[12:42] ---
    Tell them that.
[12:45] ---
    Ren: Does Futaba have a Palace?
    What's a keyword about it?
[12:47] ---
    Palace? Keyword?
    What does a palace have to do with it?
[12:47] ---
    I don't know anything about that.
[12:48] ---
    Are you just saying random stuff
    to dodge the issue?
[12:50] ---
    Looks like they don't know
    about our methods.
[12:53] ---
    Ask if we could meet her.
[12:55] ---
    Could we meet? We want info.
[12:56] ---
    Meet? With me?
[12:58] ---
    That will be difficult.
[12:59] ---
    I can't go out.
[13:00] ---
    That's why I'm contacting you like this.
[13:01] ---
    They can't go out?
[13:02] ---
    Wait.
[13:04] ---
    I get what you mean.
[13:06] ---
    You steal people's hearts directly, huh?
[13:09] ---
    That's difficult.
[13:10] ---
    Extremely difficult.
[13:12] ---
    Hold on.
[13:13] ---
    I'm thinking...
[13:18] ---
    It's a shame, but I'm calling the deal off.
[13:21] ---
    Stop looking into Futaba Sakura.
[13:22] ---
    Forget this ever happened.
    I won't report your identities.
[13:23] ---
    Sorry for taking your time.
[13:24] ---
    Now if you'll excuse me...
[13:27] ---
    Ren: Wait
[13:33] ---
    What's going on here?
[13:36] ---
    It seems the sending address was deleted.
[13:40] ---
    Then...
[13:41] ---
    We don't have to steal Futaba Sakura's heart?
[13:44] ---
    Guess not.
[13:45] ---
    What the hell?! Fickle hacker!
[13:48] ---
    Hey, this has been eating away at me,
[13:51] ---
    but I feel like I've heard
    the name "Sakura" before recently...
[13:55] ---
    What are you talking about?
[13:57] ---
    That's the family name of Le Blanc's boss.
[14:00] ---
    You didn't pick up on that either?
[14:02] ---
    Maybe Futaba Sakura is Boss's relative?
[14:07] ---
    His wife or little sister...
[14:09] ---
    Does that sound familiar to you?
[14:12] ---
    Hey man, show some interest.
[14:14] ---
    I mean, you're livin' there.
    Weren't you introduced, at least?
[14:17] ---
    Maybe due to circumstances,
    it's hard for him to bring it up.
[14:21] ---
    What circumstances?
[14:22] ---
    I am not sure.
[14:25] ---
    Is this the end of the Alibaba affair?
[14:29] ---
    Probably. They said the deal was off.
[14:33] ---
    It's just left me confused.
[14:35] ---
    Certainly, there was no closure.
[14:38] ---
    I think we're okay for now,
[14:40] ---
    but let's make sure our phones are secure.
[14:42] ---
    Okay.
[14:43] ---
    M-Me too!
[14:44] ---
    What's wrong, Ren?
[14:47] ---
    Futaba...
[14:49] ---
    You insist that it's not possible?
[14:51] ---
    Yeah. I have nothing to tell you.
[14:55] ---
    Then I'm afraid I'll look into
    terminating your parental authoriy.
[14:57] ---
    I take it you're fine with that?
[15:00] ---
    Considering the state of Futaba
    and your family overall,
[15:03] ---
    there are no points in your favor.
[15:06] ---
    Would you like to take this to domestic court?
    Our chance of victory is roughly 99.9% though.
[15:12] ---
    With these suspicions of abuse, there's no way
    you could avoid having your custody revoked.
[15:17] ---
    I don't know anything about that!
[15:18] ---
    We'll be the judge of that.
[15:21] ---
    As long as there's a possible link
    to psychotic breakdowns...
[15:25] ---
    Fine!
[15:27] ---
    Then I'll contact you at a later date.
[15:39] ---
    Scatter some salt!
[15:41] ---
    That woman is real good
    at pissing people off...
[15:47] ---
    What?
[15:49] ---
    She said Futaba...
[15:51] ---
    This doesn't involve you.
[15:53] ---
    Just behave yourself and go to school
    if you don't want me to throw you out!
[15:57] ---
    Got it?!
[15:58] ---
    I'm closing up for today!
    I'm pissed off.
[16:02] ---
    Domestic court?
[16:03] ---
    To decide custody issues, right?
[16:05] ---
    Why would the Boss have to do
    something like that?
[16:07] ---
    And abuse?!
[16:09] ---
    I can't believe it. Not about him.
[16:13] ---
    She mentioned termination
    of parental authority.
[16:15] ---
    Parental authority...
[16:17] ---
    Then it seems clear that
    Futaba Sakura is Boss's child.
[16:21] ---
    There's no guarantee she's the same
    Futaba Sakura that Alibaba mentioned,
[16:26] ---
    but it's all starting to fit.
[16:28] ---
    But if we're supposed to change her heart,
    wouldn't she be the one doing the abuse?
[16:33] ---
    I wonder why Alibaba wanted us
    to steal Futaba's heart.
[16:36] ---
    Can't you ask about that, Ren?
[16:41] ---
    I would think twice about that.
[16:44] ---
    Based of Boss's furious expression,
    he might actually kick you out.
[16:48] ---
    That could be a little difficult.
[16:49] ---
    If abuse really is involved,
    we can't just let it go.
[16:52] ---
    You're closest to the owner, Ren.
[16:54] ---
    Does he seem like the type
    who's capable of abuse?
[17:03] ---
    Ren: I can't imagine him like that.
[17:04] ---
    Yusuke: Me neither.
[17:05] ---
    Ryuji: Ditto
[17:05] ---
    Ann: Me either.
[17:06] ---
    Makoto: Same.
[17:10] ---
    Ren: Thank you.
[17:14] ---
    Ren?
[17:16] ---
    I'm tired.
[17:37] ---
    What?!
[17:39] ---
    The power's out! Over there, too!
[17:46] ---
    Last night, there was a major blackout
    in the area around Shibuya Station.
[17:50] ---
    Medjed put a statement regarding the incident
    on their homepage.
[17:54] ---
    "Cutting the lights in Shibuya last night
    was our demonstration.
[18:00] ---
    The Phantom Thieves
    met our question with silence,
[18:02] ---
    so we showed the power of our justice.
[18:05] ---
    As a sign of Medjed's victory,
[18:08] ---
    we offer the Phantom Thieves
    a final opportunity for a change of heart.
[18:12] ---
    We seek the exposure
    of the Phantom Thieves' identities.
[18:17] ---
    If our demand is not met, we'll attack Japan.
[18:21] ---
    We're entrusting the future of Japan
    to the Phantom Thieves' judgment.
[18:25] ---
    X-Day is July 31st.
[18:28] ---
    We are Medjed. We are unseen.
    We will eliminate evil."
[18:35] ---
    So what they're saying...
[18:37] ---
    Medjed will attack Japan unless
    the Phantom Thieves reveal their identities.
[18:43] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[18:44] ---
    If Medjed's cyberattack caused Japan's
    economy to fall into chaos...
[18:50] ---
    ...blame would probably be pinned
    on the Phantom Thieves.
[18:53] ---
    Even though they did it?!
[18:54] ---
    The Phantom Thieves are the ones
    who pulled the trigger.
[18:57] ---
    That's how it would look.
[18:59] ---
    Then we're going to do what they want?
[19:02] ---
    No.
[19:06] ---
    Our justice would lose in that case.
[19:10] ---
    Yeah! That's right, Ren!
[19:12] ---
    Then what should we do?
[19:14] ---
    They're international hackers.
[19:16] ---
    Do you have a plan?
[19:22] ---
    Why don't we ask Alibaba?
[19:24] ---
    They said they'd do something about Medjed!
[19:27] ---
    But how do we get in touch?
[19:29] ---
    There's something that's been bugging me.
[19:32] ---
    Ren, show me your phone.
[19:34] ---
    Meet? With me?
[19:34] ---
    Right here.
[19:36] ---
    When Ren asked, "Could we meet?",
[19:38] ---
    at first Alibaba answered, "Me?"
[19:41] ---
    Then they say, "I get what you mean."
[19:43] ---
    "You steal people's hearts directly, huh?"
[19:47] ---
    Looking at it in context,
[19:49] ---
    doesn't it make sense that "me" equals
    Futaba Sakura, whose heart is to be stolen?
[19:54] ---
    You're right!
[19:55] ---
    It could just be that Alibaba caught on.
[19:58] ---
    That we need information about the person
    whose heart we're going to steal.
[20:01] ---
    That could be.
[20:02] ---
    But right now, that's all we have to go on!
[20:05] ---
    So I say we gotta take a gamble on it.
[20:08] ---
    Yeah. Let's go.
[20:13] ---
    It's closed.
[20:14] ---
    Isn't it early?
[20:16] ---
    Do you know where he went?
[20:18] ---
    Maybe he went home.
[20:21] ---
    Let's head there.
[20:25] ---
    SAKURA
[20:26] ---
    I don't like this weather.
[20:28] ---
    Maybe he's not here.
[20:30] ---
    But... the lights are on.
[20:34] ---
    Maybe he's pretending to be out?
[20:37] ---
    Don't tell me there's abuse
    goin' on in there right now?
[20:40] ---
    Oh, come on!
[20:44] ---
    It's raining!
[20:45] ---
    Let's go inside!
[20:46] ---
    If nothing's happening,
    we can always apologize!
[20:50] ---
    Hey!
[20:52] ---
    Oh, it's unlocked.
[20:56] ---
    Sorry, Boss... Please excuse us.
[21:01] ---
    - Is he out?
    - But the TV's on.
[21:03] ---
    Let's check it out.
[21:05] ---
    We've come this far.
[21:07] ---
    We're comin' in!
[21:08] ---
    H-Hey!
[21:11] ---
    Sorry, Boss...
[21:16] ---
    This is creepy. I'm kind of scared.
[21:19] ---
    Don't say that when you're in someone's–
[21:24] ---
    A s-scream?!
[21:25] ---
    What was that?!
[21:26] ---
    H-How should I know?
[21:31] ---
    D-Did you hear that?
[21:33] ---
    Can we get out of here? Please?
[21:36] ---
    What're you freakin' out for?
[21:37] ---
    I-I'm not freaking out!
[21:39] ---
    Could it be Alibaba?
    I mean, Futaba?
[21:42] ---
    C-Come on, let's go back!
[21:50] ---
    Hey... Can I hold on to you?
[22:02] ---
    What is this?! Who is it?!
[22:06] ---
    I can't take this anymore!
    I'm leaving!
[22:11] ---
    No way... My legs won't move...
