**[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!

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!
