[00:00] ---
    Tomorrow is finally X-Day
    that was threatened by Medjed.

[00:04] ---
    The National Police Agency
    Cyberterror Task Force

[00:06] ---
    So realistic.
[00:06] ---
    has put out an unprecedented
    emergency alert

[00:08] ---
    Can't tell the difference
    between it and the real thing.

[00:08] ---
    while calling on all government ministries
    and banks to increase security measures.

[00:13] ---
    I heard you buy and sell used goods here.
[00:18] ---
    Whatcha got?
[00:19] ---
    Nothing at the moment, unfortunately.
[00:23] ---
    Come back when you do.
[00:28] ---
    Seems like it went from that shop
    to the underground market,
[00:31] ---
    but he didn't seem the type
    to give the seller's identity.
[00:35] ---
    Tomorrow is X-Day.
[00:37] ---
    But Medjed hasn't put out a calling card yet.
[00:39] ---
    What'll be the Phantom Thieves' next move?
[02:16] ---
    C-Come on! Do it!
[02:19] ---
    N-Now steal it!
[02:24] ---
    Um... no.
[02:25] ---
    All you really had to do
    was open that closet door...
[02:30] ---
    You tricked me!
[02:32] ---
    It seems she doesn't understand
    how a change of heart occurs.
[02:36] ---
    Then she doesn't know
    about the Meta-Nav either?
[02:38] ---
    No way.
[02:39] ---
    And my voice just sounds
    like cat meowing to her.
[02:44] ---
    Navi?
[02:44] ---
    We use it to get to the Palaces.
[02:47] ---
    If we enter keywords for a name,
    a place, and a distortion–
[02:50] ---
    Shh!
[02:52] ---
    What'll happen if there's
    an unexpected change in her Palace?
[02:56] ---
    Let's check that door again.
[02:58] ---
    Yeah.
[03:02] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[03:07] ---
    What's this?
[03:08] ---
    Just read it.
[03:10] ---
    Now.
[03:11] ---
    It's too dark to read.
[03:13] ---
    You can just come out.
[03:15] ---
    It's embarrassing.
[03:17] ---
    I'll make sure she reads it,
    so go on ahead.
[03:20] ---
    I'm countin' on you, Futaba.
[03:32] ---
    This is the thing I prepared.
[03:36] ---
    "Futaba Sakura has committed a
    great sin of drowning in sloth.
[03:39] ---
    Thus, we will rob every last bit
    of those distorted desires."
[03:46] ---
    No. I'm going to die...
[03:50] ---
    Good.
[03:52] ---
    Kitty! You again?!
[04:00] ---
    All right.
[04:01] ---
    Thanks to Futaba-chan for
    opening the door herself.
[04:12] ---
    This is the core of Futaba's Palace.
[04:16] ---
    Very hacker-like.
    It has a unique aesthetic.
[04:20] ---
    That's...
[04:23] ---
    Treasure! Treasure!
[04:27] ---
    W-What was that voice?!
[04:30] ---
    Futaba!
[04:39] ---
    Is it a Shadow, too?!
[04:41] ---
    No! It's a cognition!
[04:43] ---
    A monster that Futaba's
    cognition created!
[04:45] ---
    Do not approach the pharaoh's tomb!
[04:47] ---
    Misfortune will fall upon you!
[05:00] ---
    Wakaba...
[05:02] ---
    You killed her!
[05:04] ---
    You never should've been born!
[05:09] ---
    This is a Meta-Nav?
[05:10] ---
    They said it needed a name,
    a place, and a distortion?
[05:15] ---
    "Futaba Sakura."
[05:16] ---
    Um... "Sojiro Sakura's house."
[05:19] ---
    And a distortion?
[05:21] ---
    You're a jinx!
[05:22] ---
    There's no reason for you to live!
[05:29] ---
    That's right. When we were messaging,
    I said "tomb" in the chat...
[05:31] ---
    Beginning navigation.
[05:34] ---
    Carmen!
[05:40] ---
    It didn't reach!
[05:41] ---
    Can't we do somethin' here?!
[05:43] ---
    A-Any suggestions would be helpful!
[05:52] ---
    So this is inside my heart...
[05:54] ---
    Futaba!
[05:58] ---
    It's calling me...
[06:03] ---
    Dammit.
[06:05] ---
    At this rate, we're screwed.
[06:08] ---
    Futaba?! What are you doing here?!
[06:11] ---
    She entered her own Palace?!
[06:14] ---
    No telling what's gonna happen!
[06:17] ---
    Futaba!
[06:18] ---
    You... You killed me!
[06:23] ---
    Mom...
[06:24] ---
    "Mom?!"
[06:26] ---
    Don't tell me that monster is her mother?!
[06:28] ---
    Futaba's desires and guilt must've
    distorted her cognition of her.
[06:32] ---
    The wish that her mother was alive again
    is mixed in as well, along with those jeers.
[06:37] ---
    You're just a demon who stood in the way!
    I wish you had never been born!
[06:41] ---
    That way I could've announced my results
    without having to waste my time on you!
[06:45] ---
    Futaba-chan, look!
[06:47] ---
    It's just an illusion you created!
[06:50] ---
    That's right! She never abused you!
[06:52] ---
    Boss told us. He said she did
    her best to raise you alone.
[06:57] ---
    Isn't that the truth?
[07:01] ---
    But... But...
[07:04] ---
    Your mother abandoned her research
    because of you, Futaba-chan.

[07:09] ---
    Look, it says so in this note she left.
[07:11] ---
    No!
[07:14] ---
    Don't look away. Remember.
[07:18] ---
    It's me complaining.
    Mom scolded me for bothering her.
[07:24] ---
    I knew it. I killed Mom.
[07:27] ---
    I was a bad daughter.
    I weighed her down, and she hated me for it.
[07:31] ---
    It's just like I remember.
[07:33] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:36] ---
    Remember everything.
    When did this happen?
[07:39] ---
    Just a little before Mom died...
[07:41] ---
    I whined about wanting to go on a family trip.
    But she scolded me and said no.
[07:45] ---
    Was that all she said?
[07:48] ---
    Mom said, "I'm too busy right now."
[07:52] ---
    "I need to finish my cognitive research
    as soon as possible."
[07:55] ---
    Mom said, "My research is almost over.
[07:59] ---
    Once it's finished,
    we can go wherever you like."
[08:02] ---
    "I'm sorry I've left you alone
    for so long, Futaba.
[08:04] ---
    Please try to understand though.
    This research is really important.
[08:07] ---
    I need to complete it,
    even if it costs me my life."
[08:09] ---
    That's right. Did she hate you?
[08:13] ---
    She didn't?
[08:18] ---
    My head...
[08:20] ---
    Which is the truth?
[08:22] ---
    Which is the true memory?!
[08:25] ---
    H-Hey, what's wrong?!
[08:28] ---
    We're gonna change Futaba's heart!
    That's what we all decided.
[08:31] ---
    We promised Futaba!
[08:34] ---
    Whatever happens, don't give up!
[08:36] ---
    Let's show her the Phantom Thieves' spirit!
[08:39] ---
    Now you're talkin'!
[08:45] ---
    You're the reason she committed suicide.
    You were just getting in the way of her research.
[08:49] ---
    Why did you think it was suicide?
[08:51] ---
    The note...
[08:52] ---
    Exactly. The men in black suits read
    her suicide note to you and your relatives.
[08:59] ---
    "I should never have had Futaba.
    She was always such a bother."
[09:01] ---
    Think hard. Was that suicide note real?
[09:06] ---
    Would the mother you loved so much
    truly have written that?
[09:09] ---
    Did she ever say such horrible things to you?
[09:13] ---
    Never.
[09:14] ---
    She scolded me whenever I had
    tantrums, but she cared for me!
[09:18] ---
    Then what about the note?
[09:19] ---
    A total lie!
[09:21] ---
    You were used.
[09:23] ---
    In order to steal your mother's research,
    they forged her suicide note
[09:27] ---
    and trampled your young heart by
    putting the blame of her death upon you!
[09:30] ---
    Get mad! Don't forgive those rotten adults!
[09:34] ---
    It's because I couldn't face myself,
    or Mom's death...
[09:39] ---
    Even then, why did they have
    to yell at me like that?!
[09:45] ---
    Don't flinch! Guard her!
[09:50] ---
    Futaba-chan?
[09:59] ---
    What denies you is an illusion...
[10:02] ---
    A curse put upon you by the heartless...
[10:05] ---
    You knew from the very beginning...
[10:07] ---
    And yet, you cowered in fear.
[10:09] ---
    That's right, I knew. But I...
[10:12] ---
    Futaba! It's all your fault!
    This time, you'll be the one to die!
[10:19] ---
    Will you die, as you are told?
[10:21] ---
    Who will you obey?
[10:23] ---
    Cursed words spat out by a seething illusion?
    Or the truth within your own soul?
[10:28] ---
    I won't let those distorted lies
    deceive me anymore.
[10:32] ---
    And I won't be led astray by others!
[10:34] ---
    I'll trust my own eyes and heart
    to distinguish the truth from the lies.
[10:38] ---
    There's no way you're my mom!
    You're just a fake made by those horrid adults!
[10:43] ---
    I'll never, ever forgive them!
[11:06] ---
    Contract... I am thou, thou art I...
[11:11] ---
    The forbidden wisdom has been revealed.
[11:14] ---
    No mysteries or illusions
    shall deceive you any longer.

[11:19] ---
    Futaba! Are you okay?!
[11:21] ---
    Yeah! Please, help me!
[11:24] ---
    That thing's gotta go!
[11:27] ---
    Sure!
[11:42] ---
    Is it doing a dive bomb attack?
[11:44] ---
    Leave it to me!
[11:45] ---
    This is my heart's world, right?
[11:47] ---
    Hacking into my distortion
    should be no problem for me!
[11:56] ---
    A ballista?
[11:58] ---
    Shoot it down with this,
    then beat the crap out of it!
[12:01] ---
    I'll do it!
[12:03] ---
    Let me.
[12:04] ---
    I'll win. I won't let Futaba
    talk about dying ever again!
[12:09] ---
    Okay.
[12:10] ---
    All right. Adjust the angle.
[12:13] ---
    Five...
[12:14] ---
    Four...
[12:15] ---
    Three...
[12:16] ---
    Two...
[12:17] ---
    One...
[12:18] ---
    Zero!
[12:19] ---
    Now!
[12:21] ---
    Go!
[12:27] ---
    Crash and burn!
[12:28] ---
    You don't know when to quit!
[12:35] ---
    A desperate struggle?
    That's not beautiful.
[12:43] ---
    How's this?!
[12:50] ---
    Go, White Rider.
[13:03] ---
    Futaba!
[13:04] ---
    I never should have birthed you!
[13:07] ---
    No matter what you say to me...
[13:09] ---
    I will live!
[13:14] ---
    Fire!
[13:31] ---
    Futaba-chan!
[13:32] ---
    Damn, you're freakin' incredible!
[13:35] ---
    Whoa! What is this?!
[13:37] ---
    It's totally skin-tight!
[13:40] ---
    Mom!
[13:43] ---
    Futaba...
[13:44] ---
    Thank you for choosing
    to remember the real me.
[13:49] ---
    I'm sorry for being so selfish, Mom.
[13:54] ---
    You mustn't come over here.
[13:56] ---
    This isn't where you're supposed to be, is it?
[13:59] ---
    But I finally get to see you again...
[14:01] ---
    Are you being selfish again?
[14:06] ---
    Um... I love you, Mom.
[14:11] ---
    And I love you, Futaba.
[14:14] ---
    Now, you should get going.
[14:26] ---
    Oh, right, Medjed.
[14:28] ---
    Where are you going?
[14:30] ---
    Home.
[14:31] ---
    I know how to use the Nav now.
[14:35] ---
    She left.
[14:37] ---
    She marches to her own beat.
[14:38] ---
    You're one to talk!
[14:40] ---
    What about the Treasure?
[14:41] ---
    Oh yeah! We almost forgot!
[14:44] ---
    It's empty?
[14:45] ---
    W-What does it mean?!
[14:46] ---
    I get it! Futaba herself was the Treasure!
[14:50] ---
    And she's gone, so of course it's empty!
[14:53] ---
    Shoot!
[14:55] ---
    Not only did the real person enter her own
    Palace, she awakened to a Persona as well!
[14:58] ---
    This place could collapse any second now!
[15:01] ---
    Good point!
[15:02] ---
    This ain't the time to explain meta-physics!
[15:04] ---
    L-L-L-Let's get outta here!
[15:20] ---
    A house call is going to cost you, ya know.
[15:25] ---
    How much will it be?
[15:27] ---
    That was a joke.
[15:28] ---
    Her pulse, breathing, temperature
    and blood pressure are all normal.
[15:32] ---
    I'm not sure why, but it seems this girl
    is in some kind of light stupor.
[15:37] ---
    Furthermore, she lacks muscle for her age.
    I doubt she has much stamina either.
[15:43] ---
    I see. The rebound from her
    awakening was too strong...
[15:46] ---
    There may have been too many
    abnormal circumstances.
[15:49] ---
    Yo.
[15:51] ---
    Um, this is, uh...
[15:54] ---
    Futaba!
[15:55] ---
    Well, I'll be on my way.
[15:58] ---
    Futaba?! Hey!
[16:02] ---
    Sheesh. It must be the usual.
[16:06] ---
    It happens every so often.
[16:08] ---
    She must've used up all her energy.
[16:12] ---
    There it is.
[16:13] ---
    I was worried!
[16:16] ---
    It's like her batteries ran out.
[16:18] ---
    She stays like this for a few days
    whenever this happens.
[16:25] ---
    I'm hungry.
[16:26] ---
    Thanks for helping Futaba.
[16:28] ---
    I'm not good with expressing gratitude,
    but it's your summer vacation, right?
[16:32] ---
    If you like, go and have some fun together.
[16:36] ---
    Tickets to Skytree...
[16:38] ---
    I got 'em from one of my regulars.
[16:40] ---
    I'll watch over Futaba.
[16:42] ---
    I'll call you if anything happens.
[16:48] ---
    We're up so high! The cars are tiny!
[16:52] ---
    But I can't settle down...
[16:54] ---
    Yeah, today is X-Day.
[16:56] ---
    Any sign of Medjed?
[16:59] ---
    Not so far.
[17:02] ---
    Buchimaru! That brings back memories!
[17:06] ---
    I'm taking a photo!
[17:07] ---
    I sense an oddly powerful eagerness.
[17:09] ---
    N-Nothin' wrong with that.
[17:10] ---
    The manager gave us tickets,
    so we at least owe it to him to have fun.
[17:14] ---
    Agreed.
[17:24] ---
    If we can't deal with them,
    I wonder if the city,
[17:28] ---
    or even the entire country,
    will turn against us.
[17:35] ---
    Let's have faith and wait.
[17:37] ---
    For Futaba.
[17:48] ---
    Welcome back.
[17:50] ---
    That was fast.
[17:54] ---
    Oh yeah. I'd better tell you, too.
[17:59] ---
    Futaba's mother, Wakaba,
    was engaged in strange research.
[18:04] ---
    That woman you saw on the way in was
    trying to get information on Wakaba's research.
[18:10] ---
    Cognitive science?
[18:11] ---
    How did you...
[18:12] ---
    Oh, Futaba probably told you.
[18:15] ---
    Incidentally, believe it or not,
    it's "psience" with "psi," not "sci."
[18:19] ---
    It's very distinct.
[18:21] ---
    Futaba! You're awake?!
[18:23] ---
    How did you get here?
[18:25] ---
    I walked.
[18:26] ---
    You're okay? Leaving the house!
[18:30] ---
    Sorry I worried you.
[18:33] ---
    It's all right.
[18:36] ---
    Futaba. About what we discussed...
[18:38] ---
    I'll take care of it now.
[18:40] ---
    Farewell.
[18:51] ---
    Breaking news.
[18:52] ---
    Someone has altered the homepage
    of international hacker group, Medjed.

[18:55] ---
    Apparently Futaba did it.
[18:57] ---
    She anonymously shared
    the info with the media, too.
[19:00] ---
    Really? That's impressive.
[19:02] ---
    Agreed.
[19:03] ---
    Did you guys see the news?!
[19:05] ---
    You're late!
[19:06] ---
    This is what those Medjed jerks get!
[19:08] ---
    Our popularity's gonna skyrocket again!
[19:10] ---
    The Phan-site's web counter
    is already workin' overtime!
[19:13] ---
    I'm thirsty. Get me a drink.
[19:21] ---
    Ridiculous.
[19:22] ---
    So the Phantom Thieves only stole
    the heart of Futaba Sakura?
[19:26] ---
    And Medjed was in turn defeated by
    her real-world hacking abilities?
[19:30] ---
    Certainly, it all fits...
[19:33] ---
    If he's telling the truth, then
    Wakaba Isshiki didn't commit suicide...
[19:37] ---
    Her death was two years ago, which coincides
    with when the incidents began to occur...
[19:41] ---
    All right, very well.
[19:44] ---
    Keep going.
[19:46] ---
    Cheers!
[19:48] ---
    Man, you're seriously awesome, Futaba!
[19:51] ---
    Shut up, Ryuji!
[19:53] ---
    But I am surprised international hackers
    could be completely defeated like that.
[19:58] ---
    I knew the Medjed memebers in Japan
    weren't anything special.
[20:03] ---
    How?
[20:04] ---
    'Cause I'm the founder.
[20:08] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:10] ---
    Should we take that literally?
[20:13] ---
    Yep. It was only me at first, back when I was
    referred to as the hacker of justice.
[20:18] ---
    But since I stayed anonymous, guys from
    all over the world started using the name.
[20:22] ---
    And those were the ones
    committing cybercrimes.
[20:25] ---
    It was a hassle to expose all of them,
    so I just left them be.
[20:30] ---
    Uh, so Futaba was the true Medjed, and we
    were freakin' out over some weak-ass dipshits?
[20:36] ---
    You should've told us from the start.
[20:39] ---
    I discarded the Medjed name a while ago.
    I'm Alibaba now.
[20:42] ---
    How did you find out about us?
[20:44] ---
    Secret.
[20:45] ---
    Where did you learn to hack?
[20:48] ---
    Private.
[20:49] ---
    When did you obtain the Nav?
[20:52] ---
    Won't answer.
[20:56] ---
    Let's continue this next time.
[20:58] ---
    Shall we go?
[21:00] ---
    What, they all left already?
[21:04] ---
    I was gonna make dinner for them.
[21:08] ---
    Then after I close up, how about we
    go out to celebrate your recovery?
[21:14] ---
    See you later.
[21:16] ---
    You're coming, too.
[21:25] ---
    So how is it? Good?
[21:28] ---
    Delicious!
[21:29] ---
    Don't wolf it down like that.
    No one's gonna take your food.
[21:33] ---
    What did I just say?
[21:38] ---
    Restroom!
[21:41] ---
    Sheesh, what a busy girl.
[21:44] ---
    Back in the day, she, her mother,
    and I used to eat out often...
[21:49] ---
    Brings back memories.
    I had completely forgotten about it.
[21:54] ---
    I'm gonna go pay the bill.
[22:00] ---
    I'm gonna say something, so listen.
[22:04] ---
    My mother was researching cognitive psience.
[22:07] ---
    She made a groundbreaking discovery,
    and then...
[22:11] ---
    I'm sure someone murdered her.
    It wasn't suicide.
[22:15] ---
    I'll make him pay.
[22:17] ---
    Help me, Phantom Thieves.
[23:51] ---
    Medium-fatty tuna, tuna belly,
    salted salmon roe, conger eel...
[23:56] ---
    I hope he brings me
    some goodies back soon!
