[00:01] ---
    Futaba, would you join the Phantom Thieves?
[00:05] ---
    About that. Actually...
[00:08] ---
    Join?
[00:09] ---
    'Kay.
[00:10] ---
    So fast!
[00:11] ---
    I want your guys' help, too.
[00:14] ---
    I told Ren at the sushi place.
[00:16] ---
    That makes sense.
[00:18] ---
    Cool.
[00:19] ---
    So she's gonna be a big help for us, right?
[00:21] ---
    Futaba's real amazing!
[00:24] ---
    Right?
[00:25] ---
    Hey!
[00:26] ---
    I'm not so sure about going forward with her.
[00:31] ---
    Let's get to know her.
[00:32] ---
    How?
[00:34] ---
    First, we'll need to help her open up to us.
[00:36] ---
    If we each spend an entire day with her,
[00:39] ---
    maybe she'll get more used
    to being around us.
[00:41] ---
    I see.
[00:42] ---
    We do have the time,
    thanks to summer vacation.
[00:46] ---
    Then we have to get her out of the house
    and socialize where other people are.
[00:51] ---
    Then let's end by going to the beach!
    There'll be tons of people there!
[00:55] ---
    That's a great idea!
    As long as there are no jellyfish.
[00:59] ---
    Let's run this by Futaba-chan!
[01:01] ---
    You're listing choices,
    but I'm not really given a choice.
[02:37] ---
    So your first shift will be tomorrow.
[02:39] ---
    See you then, Amamiya-kun.
[02:41] ---
    Yes.
[02:56] ---
    Futaba... What is that?
[02:59] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[03:01] ---
    Such avant garde design.
    You have excellent taste.
[03:06] ---
    Boo!
[03:08] ---
    Okay, let's improve her social skills.
[03:11] ---
    The special training begins.
[03:28] ---
    Ren, got some time?
[03:31] ---
    I'm gonna lecture you on how to make curry.
[03:39] ---
    When all's said and done,
    it helps to have an extra pair of hands.
[03:44] ---
    And you're surprisingly earnest.
[03:47] ---
    You've stopped working.
[03:50] ---
    Right.
[03:56] ---
    Huh? Futaba ain't here yet?
[03:59] ---
    She'll be here soon.
    What's today's special training?
[04:02] ---
    Good question...
[04:03] ---
    It's almost time for lunch.
[04:06] ---
    Why don't you serve your friends
    what you made last night?
[04:12] ---
    Thanks for the grub!
[04:17] ---
    Spicy!
[04:18] ---
    Water! Water!
[04:19] ---
    You have the tongue of a child!
[04:22] ---
    But I could get used to this.
[04:26] ---
    What a shock!
[04:27] ---
    It's a spiciness that
    stimulates the creative urge!
[04:32] ---
    Sorry I'm late!
[04:34] ---
    I'm starving.
[04:36] ---
    No, this is...
[04:37] ---
    Unfortunately, we're out of that curry.
[04:40] ---
    Futaba, this one's for you.
[04:43] ---
    Thank you!
[04:45] ---
    Yummy!
[04:48] ---
    Well, you did good for your first time.
[04:51] ---
    Stick with it, and you might
    reach Sojiro's level!
[04:54] ---
    When they start
    featuring you in magazines!
[04:58] ---
    Hey, that's enough.
[05:00] ---
    Right!
[05:02] ---
    Hello.
[05:04] ---
    Oh, that looks good.
[05:06] ---
    Futaba, we got this for you!
[05:09] ---
    - What is it?
    - A swimsuit.
[05:12] ---
    The beach, huh?
[05:14] ---
    Don't force yourself.
[05:16] ---
    You know, you don't have to
    suddenly go all out...
[05:18] ---
    N-No, I'm going all out!
[05:20] ---
    I'll go to the beach with everyone
    and enjoy an offline summer!
[05:23] ---
    Yeah! That's the spirit!
[05:25] ---
    Then how about trying it on?
[05:28] ---
    Just keep an eye on her.
[05:33] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[05:34] ---
    We will.
[05:34] ---
    Wh-What is this?!
[05:36] ---
    This barely covers anything!
[05:38] ---
    This is normal.
[05:40] ---
    Now, we just need to push these
    a little more this way...
[05:43] ---
    You're putting them front and center?
[05:45] ---
    This accents them.
[05:48] ---
    There! Good to go!
[05:50] ---
    Whoa, even I'm impressed...
[05:55] ---
    I'm worried.
[05:57] ---
    See you tomorrow, Amamiya-kun.
[06:00] ---
    Here's your pay for today.
[06:05] ---
    Summer!
[06:06] ---
    Beach!
[06:07] ---
    Swimsuits!
[06:13] ---
    Jeez. Hold still.
[06:20] ---
    Wh-What do you think?
[06:24] ---
    It's perfect.
[06:27] ---
    There's a lot of people here.
    Are you okay, Futaba?
[06:31] ---
    I'm fine. You guys are here.
[06:33] ---
    You look beautiful, Lady Ann!
[06:37] ---
    Thank you!
[06:39] ---
    Let's go, you guys!
[06:41] ---
    Yay!
[06:42] ---
    Hey, cut it out!
[06:51] ---
    It should be a familiar flavor,
    so how does it taste so good?
[06:55] ---
    G-Give me some, too!
[06:57] ---
    Sure, eat up!
[06:59] ---
    You're eating that even here?
[07:01] ---
    My staple food.
[07:07] ---
    You wanna go on that?
[07:09] ---
    Yeah!
[07:09] ---
    But I don't know if Sojiro
    gave me enough money...
[07:14] ---
    Don't sweat it.
[07:16] ---
    Really?
[07:17] ---
    Use it for as long as you like.
[07:19] ---
    That's generous of you! Thanks!
[07:24] ---
    You're generous.
[07:25] ---
    You're not our leader for nothing.
[07:28] ---
    I found these on sale over there.
[07:30] ---
    The moment I set eyes on
    this distinct shape, I was in love.
[07:34] ---
    Do you have money for the train ride home?
[07:39] ---
    - There!
    - There!
[07:41] ---
    - What's that?
    - I'm not sure...
[07:50] ---
    I loved my mom.
[07:54] ---
    I wanted to become like her.
[07:57] ---
    How she'd work late into the night.
[08:00] ---
    How she'd wake up early and
    make me a boxed lunch every day.
[08:05] ---
    How she'd do her best to further her research.
[08:08] ---
    How she'd scold me for peeking at her notes.
[08:12] ---
    Cognitive psience.
[08:14] ---
    Then your mother's research was...
[08:17] ---
    "The cognitive world can become
    distorted through desires.
[08:21] ---
    If it becomes distorted, a person begins
    exhibiting problematic behavior in reality.
[08:26] ---
    That cognitive world disappears
    when you remove its core,
[08:30] ---
    and further problematic actions stop."
[08:33] ---
    Isn't that about Palaces?
[08:35] ---
    All I thought about was my mom.
    I was trapped in a cognitive labyrinth.
[08:42] ---
    There was nothing I could do by myself.
[08:45] ---
    That's why you asked us to steal your heart?
    That's a huge jump in logic in so many ways!
[08:50] ---
    I'll be honest.
[08:52] ---
    Changing people's hearts isn't my goal.
    I want to learn what happened to my mom.
[08:57] ---
    The reason why she was killed.
[09:00] ---
    Killed?
[09:01] ---
    It was written in her notes.
[09:04] ---
    Should the self in the cognitive world die,
[09:07] ---
    the self in the real world
    would lose consciousness.
[09:10] ---
    Lose consciousness?
[09:12] ---
    Don't tell me there's a connection
    to the mental shutdowns?
[09:15] ---
    I don't know for sure...
[09:17] ---
    But, right before my mom died,
    she didn't seem right.
[09:21] ---
    No matter how much I talked to her,
    she wouldn't answer back.
[09:24] ---
    And she didn't jump into the road...
    It was more like she collapsed.
[09:28] ---
    So I investigated into her notes.
[09:31] ---
    I read books, searched for articles online...
[09:34] ---
    I even snuck into the networks of various
    research labs to look at their classified data.
[09:40] ---
    That's why you're good at hacking...
    What kind of brain do you have?
[09:44] ---
    But, I didn't figure anything out.
[09:46] ---
    My mom's research
    was nowhere to be found.
[09:50] ---
    She was killed by someone, and her
    research was treated like it never existed.
[09:54] ---
    I bet it was those adults in black suits
    who read the fake suicide note.
[10:00] ---
    I'll never forgive them.
[10:03] ---
    Futaba...
[10:04] ---
    Missing research data on cognitive psience.
[10:07] ---
    Maybe...
[10:08] ---
    Yeah...
[10:09] ---
    It might be connected to the
    "man in a black mask" Kaneshiro mentioned.
[10:15] ---
    And it seems my big sister has been looking
    into the mental shutdown cases for a while.
[10:21] ---
    It's hard for me because it feels
    like I'm betraying her...
[10:24] ---
    But her findings may be beneficial.
[10:27] ---
    I realized something.
[10:28] ---
    If I stay with you guys, I think
    I can find out more about that world.
[10:32] ---
    And then I'll avenge Mom's murder.
[10:35] ---
    It's a really personal reason
    why I want to join you...
[10:39] ---
    Is that fine?
    Or would I just be dead weight?
[10:41] ---
    If anything, you're dependable.
[10:43] ---
    Right, Mona?
[10:45] ---
    Why are you looking at me?
    Are you trying to say I'm inadequate?
[10:49] ---
    Not especially! I didn't say anything
    about you being useless...
[10:53] ---
    Look at me and say that, monkey!
[10:54] ---
    What was that?!
[10:56] ---
    This is what our Phantom Thieves are like,
    but I hope we get along.
[11:00] ---
    Thank you.
[11:01] ---
    But man, I never dreamed that the rumored
    Phantom Thieves would be so close!
[11:05] ---
    Same goes to you.
[11:06] ---
    To think you'd be the daughter of
    a Metaverse researcher...
[11:10] ---
    Such a mysterious fate.
[11:12] ---
    You've got the right stuff!
[11:15] ---
    Should we get going then?
[11:17] ---
    Yup!! Let's go home.
[11:24] ---
    The idea that Medjed ultimately didn't cause
    any damage is based solely on hindsight.
[11:24] ---
    The Phantom Thieves are
    being treated like superheroes.
[11:29] ---
    My issue is that the police and current
    administration handled the crisis pathetically.
[11:29] ---
    The public is crazy about them
    and have turned on us.
[11:35] ---
    I see.
[11:36] ---
    Well, I always intended to get rid of them.
[11:39] ---
    Though, I think I'll wait for the proper timing.
[11:54] ---
    What was that dream about?
[11:57] ---
    Too hot...
[12:00] ---
    All right! Now that Futaba is one of us,
[12:03] ---
    I was thinkin' about the future, with you as
    the leader and me as your right-hand man.
[12:09] ---
    Why a fishing pond in this heat?
[12:11] ---
    Doesn't meetin' in a place like this
    look like we're talkin' some shady business?
[12:15] ---
    Don't you think, Morgana?
[12:18] ---
    Sheesh, can't you be a little more excited?
[12:21] ---
    Ms. Kawakami?
[12:24] ---
    N-No!
[12:26] ---
    What are you doin' here, Teach?
[12:29] ---
    What am I doing?
    I always come here to unwind.
[12:33] ---
    Adults need time to themselves
    to unwind and clear their thoughts.
[12:36] ---
    Huh... So you've got lots of free time, eh?
[12:38] ---
    What about you? What kind of teenagers
    come to a fishing pond on vacation?
[12:43] ---
    Look who's talkin'.
[12:45] ---
    Where are you?
[12:46] ---
    I wanna go to Akihabara
    to buy a game.
[12:49] ---
    We're in Ichigaya.
[12:50] ---
    Perfect. We can meet there.
[12:53] ---
    I know how to ride the train after the trip
    to the beach, so I can get there fine.
[12:57] ---
    Hey! I smell trouble brewin' here!
[12:59] ---
    Yeah.
[13:00] ---
    Let's go, Ren-Ren!
[13:00] ---
    Hey, look! H-Huh?
[13:06] ---
    I can't help you if you just keep crying.
    What's wrong?
[13:09] ---
    There she is! Futaba!
[13:11] ---
    Are you okay?!
[13:15] ---
    You know these guys?
[13:18] ---
    S-Sorry.
[13:20] ---
    I was able to go to the beach,
    so I thought it'd be all right.
[13:23] ---
    What happened?
[13:25] ---
    I panicked.
[13:26] ---
    I got so scared that I couldn't move.
[13:29] ---
    Then all these people started staring,
    and the police came, and then...
[13:32] ---
    If you're ever in trouble, contact us.
[13:35] ---
    Contact you... Okay.
[13:39] ---
    I feel calm now.
    I'm gonna depend on you from now on.
[13:44] ---
    When I see you two like that, you remind me
    of a big brother and little sister.
[13:48] ---
    Hey, since we got Futaba outta the house,
    why don't we call the rest of the gang?
[13:53] ---
    - But...
    - I-I'm okay with that!
[14:01] ---
    So this is Mementos...
[14:03] ---
    Everyone's Palace.
[14:04] ---
    Hey, why don't we decide on
    a code name for Futaba?
[14:08] ---
    "Hacker" wouldn't be right, would it?
[14:10] ---
    "Mech"?
[14:11] ---
    "PC".
[14:12] ---
    No.
[14:12] ---
    How about the obvious "Goggles"?
[14:14] ---
    Super lame. You've got no taste.
[14:17] ---
    You got some of your energy back.
[14:18] ---
    What would you want it to be, Futaba?
[14:22] ---
    "Oracle."
[14:23] ---
    With my vision,
    I'll guide you all to victory.
[14:25] ---
    Sounds great.
[14:27] ---
    Now that that's decided...
[14:32] ---
    I'm sensing something!
[14:34] ---
    Directly under us!
[14:35] ---
    New area confirmed in the depths.
[14:38] ---
    Updating guidance information.
[14:40] ---
    It got bigger again.
[14:42] ---
    Is it because we stole Treasures?
[14:44] ---
    Noc I don't think this domain
    expansion is because of that.
[14:48] ---
    The causes are the number of searches
    for "Phantom Thieves,"
[14:51] ---
    the hot word ranking,
    and the number of Phan-site visits.
[14:55] ---
    Even now, it's widening bit by bit.
[14:58] ---
    In other words...
[14:59] ---
    The more popular we become,
    the bigger Mementos gets?
[15:04] ---
    Possibly. And if that's so...
[15:08] ---
    ...then we're expanding the place?
[15:11] ---
    By spreading recognition of the
    Phantom Thieves' existence to the public.
[15:15] ---
    No way! That's awesome!
[15:17] ---
    And again, Futaba's awesome!
[15:19] ---
    How did you analyze all that?
[15:21] ---
    It was a piece of cake.
[15:23] ---
    I've... never been able to do that.
[15:34] ---
    Following the incident with Medjed,
    your status changed drastically.
[15:40] ---
    The public loved you,
[15:41] ---
    and the Phantom Aficionado Website was
    bombarded with change of heart requests.
[15:46] ---
    Comments praising the Phantom Thieves
    were constantly posted online.
[15:51] ---
    By summer's end, you and your friends
    had suddenly become a phenomena.
[16:00] ---
    Man! This is so awesome!
[16:03] ---
    The Phan-Site is a smash!
[16:05] ---
    I'm proud of myself, too!
[16:08] ---
    Why are we here?
[16:09] ---
    Oh. I've got a meet-up.
[16:12] ---
    Basically, there's this girl on the Phan-Site
    who's totally compatible with me.
[16:15] ---
    That's the sign.
[16:18] ---
    She only knows me as
    a fellow Phan-Site user...
[16:21] ---
    Mishima.
[16:25] ---
    But this is weird. Did she blow me off?
[16:28] ---
    I'm gonna take a look around!
[16:32] ---
    A Phantom Thieves boom, huh?
[16:34] ---
    True, Futaba is impressive.
[16:37] ---
    Rather, not only Futaba.
[16:39] ---
    All of you have changed so much
    since the beginning.
[16:43] ---
    Humans sure do grow.
[16:46] ---
    Compared to that, I'm...
[16:49] ---
    I notice you don't have
    much appetite recently.
[16:52] ---
    That's not true.
[16:54] ---
    Butter-roasted tilefish?
[16:55] ---
    Sorry. I'm stuffed right now.
[17:04] ---
    I'm so pumped!
[17:06] ---
    Getting to work with you
    after so long, Ann-senpai!
[17:09] ---
    U-Um, "senpai"...
    It's not a big deal or anything, Mika.
[17:14] ---
    Please teach me all kinds of things!
    Like your recommended routines and stretches.
[17:20] ---
    Recommended?
[17:23] ---
    I don't really think about
    that stuff, actually...
[17:26] ---
    What?
[17:27] ---
    I'm still in high school and
    haven't decided if I'll continue modeling.
[17:33] ---
    What is that?
[17:35] ---
    Ann-senpai, that's so horrible!
[17:37] ---
    What, you're not serious about this?
    It's just a part-time job?!
[17:42] ---
    Ann, that's...
[17:44] ---
    Wait...
[17:45] ---
    True, it kind of seemed like she wasn't able to focus.
[17:49] ---
    That was...
[17:49] ---
    I love this magazine!
[17:52] ---
    Everyone tries so hard to make sure
    their product is the best!
[17:56] ---
    Wait a...
[17:56] ---
    Sorry, Ann.
[17:58] ---
    We're just gonna go with Mika
    for today's shoot.
[18:01] ---
    We'll reimburse your transportation expenses
    and cancellation fee.
[18:04] ---
    You're a student, so that's enough, right?
[18:08] ---
    Let's get back on track and take more shots!
[18:10] ---
    - Right.
    - Okay!
[18:17] ---
    I screwed that up...
[18:20] ---
    That girl set you up.
[18:21] ---
    Yeah...
[18:23] ---
    But maybe it's because deep down,
    I'm not actually that invested in modeling...
[18:28] ---
    Don't let it bother you, Lady Ann!
[18:29] ---
    Is there anything I can do to help you?
[18:33] ---
    Thank you. But this is my own problem.
[18:37] ---
    You're always a soothing presence, Morgana.
[18:40] ---
    Kind of like cute and sassy?
[18:43] ---
    You're like the mascot of the Phantom Thieves.
[18:46] ---
    That's plenty.
[18:58] ---
    Hey, welcome back.
[19:00] ---
    I'm home.
[19:02] ---
    Oh, this?
[19:04] ---
    Well, actually... Today's the day Wakaba,
    Futaba's mother, passed away.
[19:14] ---
    Futaba reminds me so much of her mother.
[19:17] ---
    She's a smart girl, and doesn' just
    go with the flow, either.
[19:25] ---
    There was something suspicious
    about Wakaba's death.
[19:29] ---
    I don't have proof,
    and haven't told Futaba.
[19:32] ---
    I thought it might only add to her struggles.
[19:36] ---
    Still, there's one thing I regret.
[19:41] ---
    It was right before Wakaba passed...
    She told me, "I think I might die."
[19:49] ---
    If I had just taken her seriously...
[19:52] ---
    That's another reason
    I took Futaba in... Redemption.
[19:57] ---
    Futaba went through such horrible things.
[20:01] ---
    Those heartless adults
    just yelled at the poor girl...
[20:06] ---
    The Phantom Thieves...
[20:08] ---
    I'm sure the Phantom Thieves
    will do something.
[20:11] ---
    They'll make those despicable adults pay.
[20:14] ---
    Oh? Sounds like you know them personally.
[20:24] ---
    It's lukewarm!
[20:25] ---
    Don't let coffee sit when it's served
    to you, that's just manners.
[20:30] ---
    Let's do this after I close up.
[20:30] ---
    FIREWORKS
[20:33] ---
    Summer vacation is over, right?
[20:41] ---
    Super double move!
[20:49] ---
    I wonder if Mom is watching.
[20:51] ---
    Yeah. I'm sure she is.
[20:55] ---
    Hey, Ren...
[20:57] ---
    Must be nice to be human.
[20:59] ---
    Having fun, making mistakes...
    but you each do your best to live your lives.
[21:07] ---
    I always thought of myself as human.
[21:12] ---
    But maybe the truth is...
[21:15] ---
    You're human. Obviously.
[21:19] ---
    After uncovering the sins of
    the bastards abusing the Metaverse
[21:22] ---
    and solving the mystery of Mementos,
[21:24] ---
    everyone will live in a happy world,
    and you'll return to your normal form.
[21:30] ---
    Yeah. That's right. Exactly!
[21:34] ---
    If someone is in trouble to the west,
    I'll help 'em!
[21:36] ---
    If there's a bad guy to the east,
    I'll punish 'em!
[21:39] ---
    If somebody's smoking while walking to
    the south, I'll warn 'em!
[21:42] ---
    If there's a cat being bullied to
    the north, I won't ignore it!
[21:45] ---
    That kind of ideal human!
[21:48] ---
    That's what I'm probably like, right?
[21:51] ---
    So when I change back to my real form,
    I'm sure even Lady Ann will...
[21:57] ---
    Thank you, Ren.
[22:00] ---
    That's right. I'm not a cat.
[22:05] ---
    I'll do it. I'm gonna do it.
[23:39] ---
    Now, let's move on to your next crime.
[23:42] ---
    Kunikazu Okumura.
[23:44] ---
    You should know who he is,
    considering what happened.
[23:49] ---
    Your testimony regarding
    this incident will be serious.
[23:52] ---
    I'm sure you understand why.
[23:54] ---
    Answer my next question carefully.
    What did you do to Okumura?
