[00:02] ---
    You...
[00:05] ---
    I am the pillager of twilight, Arsene.
[00:10] ---
    I am the rebel's soul that resides within you.
[00:14] ---
    If you so desire, I shall consider granting you
    the power to break through this crisis.
[00:20] ---
    Give me...
[00:23] ---
    ...your power!
[00:30] ---
    Wha–
[00:39] ---
    Come on, hurry!
[00:46] ---
    Bastards! After them!
    Don't let them escape!
[00:56] ---
    Ow!
[00:58] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[01:00] ---
    What happened to that outfit?!
[01:03] ---
    You have returned to the real world.
    Welcome back.
[01:06] ---
    Returned? Then we got away?
[01:10] ---
    I wonder...
[01:11] ---
    We're definitely back!
    There's the school, not some castle!
[01:15] ---
    What's this about a "castle"?
[01:18] ---
    Kamoshida!
[02:51] ---
    Are you messing with me?
[02:52] ---
    A castle? A king?
[02:55] ---
    True, Kamoshida did act like
    he was the king of your school.
[02:59] ---
    But behind the scenes, he indulged in
    his desires, committing deplorable crimes.
[03:05] ---
    But, at the time, there should've been
    no connection between the two of you.
[03:09] ---
    Why did the Phantom Thieves
    target Kamoshida?
[03:12] ---
    What happened at Shujin Academy?
[03:16] ---
    Well...
[03:20] ---
    Oh, are you the new transfer student?
[03:23] ---
    Pretty ballsy to be late on your first day.
[03:27] ---
    And you're too carefree, Sakamoto.
    You've been absent too many days.
[03:31] ---
    Quite a difference from when
    you did morning practice for the track team.
[03:35] ---
    Get over here!
[03:38] ---
    But have we met somewhere...
[03:41] ---
    Oh yeah. You were at
    the station this morning, right?
[03:45] ---
    With Takamaki.
[03:47] ---
    Don't forget, you're on probation.
    You can't afford to slip up.
[03:53] ---
    Welcome to Shujin Academy.
[03:56] ---
    Good luck trying to enjoy
    your new school life.
[04:01] ---
    Well then, I'd like to introduce
    our new student, Ren Amamiya.
[04:06] ---
    He's attending late today
    because he wasn't feeling well.
[04:10] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[04:11] ---
    So that's the guy?
[04:12] ---
    He seems quiet, but if he snaps...
[04:14] ---
    I heard he's on probation.
[04:17] ---
    Settle down!
[04:19] ---
    Um, your seat is...
[04:22] ---
    Over there.
[04:27] ---
    Lies.
[04:29] ---
    You were at the station.
[04:32] ---
    Nice to meet you, Takamaki.
[04:34] ---
    What's up with them?
    They know each other?
[04:37] ---
    That means Takamaki is
    cheating on Mr. Kamoshida?
[04:48] ---
    Excuse me. Pardon me.
[04:54] ---
    Sorry.
[04:58] ---
    Here.
[05:00] ---
    Thank you...
[05:07] ---
    Showa-style fried dough.
    Early bird gets the worm.
[05:10] ---
    I-I'll take it!
[05:19] ---
    I heard. You've got a shady past, huh?
[05:22] ---
    NO ENTRANCE WITHOUT PERMISSION
[05:23] ---
    We may be birds of a feather.
[05:27] ---
    Ah, whatever.
[05:29] ---
    You remember that castle, right?
[05:33] ---
    Kamoshida.
[05:35] ---
    Seems he doesn't remember it at all.
[05:37] ---
    Then it was a dream after all?
[05:39] ---
    But is it possible for the two of us
    to have the same dream?
[05:45] ---
    There are rumors about Kamoshida.
[05:47] ---
    Rumors?
[05:48] ---
    Well, yeah...
[05:51] ---
    No one says anything ‘cause he’s a medalist
    who took the volleyball team to nationals.
[05:57] ---
    And he pretends to be friendly.
[05:59] ---
    The way Kamoshida was king of that castle
    felt real because of that.
[06:05] ---
    Sheesh, I don't get it.
[06:08] ---
    It was a dream! It had to be a dream!
[06:15] ---
    Hey, the school called me.
[06:18] ---
    Giving me grief from day one, huh?
[06:21] ---
    Sorry.
[06:22] ---
    You better not cause any trouble.
[06:24] ---
    Outside that school,
    there's no other place for you.
[06:28] ---
    I know.
[06:31] ---
    Kamoshida...
[06:32] ---
    A castle...
[06:34] ---
    And...
[06:37] ---
    Oh, you've awakened to your powers.
    And special ones, at that.
[06:43] ---
    Your rehabilitation can finally begin.
[06:46] ---
    Rehabilitation? Of what?
[06:49] ---
    Shut up and listen, Inmate!
[06:51] ---
    You will understand when the time comes.
[06:55] ---
    By the way, have you come to
    appreciate the Metaverse Navigator?
[06:59] ---
    I'm the one who bestowed it upon you.
[07:03] ---
    Be grateful for our master's consideration.
[07:06] ---
    You are held captive.
[07:08] ---
    If you continue on this path,
    you won't escape this ruinous fate.
[07:12] ---
    But if you can master that navigator...
[07:17] ---
    I have high hopes for you.
[07:30] ---
    To you!
[07:33] ---
    Come on!
[07:36] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:37] ---
    If you play like that at the rally tomorrow,
    the girls will laugh at you!
[07:46] ---
    Quit slacking, newbie!
[07:58] ---
    R-Right, next! Mishima!
[08:02] ---
    O-Okay!
[08:11] ---
    Gimme a break, Sakamoto!
[08:16] ---
    You were a smart-ass with Kamoshida again?
[08:19] ---
    Dude, look around! We're all desperately
    trying to avoid his attention!
[08:24] ---
    Sorry, my bad.
[08:27] ---
    We're still keeping up with practice,
    so we might get back into track in college.
[08:33] ---
    We feel bad about what happened
    with your leg, but...
[08:37] ---
    Anyway, don't antagonize Kamoshida again.
[08:40] ---
    All we can do is keep quiet
    and lie low 'til graduation.
[08:44] ---
    That's all we wanted to say.
    Let's go.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah, that's right. I can't run anymore.
[08:53] ---
    It's what I get for involving you guys.
[08:55] ---
    But...
[08:57] ---
    If I could at least do something
    about Kamoshida, then this school...
[09:05] ---
    Well, let's get started.
[09:07] ---
    You there, please share
    your textbook with him.
[09:11] ---
    Sure.
[09:17] ---
    I'm not the one who told them about you.
[09:20] ---
    I can't seem to catch a break...
[09:23] ---
    And about Sakamoto...
[09:24] ---
    Stay away from him. He's a troublemaker.
[09:28] ---
    Troublemaker?
[09:31] ---
    He used to be different,
    before the track team disbanded.
[09:36] ---
    Rumor has it...
[09:38] ---
    What do you want?
[09:39] ---
    Shut up, it's nothing.
[09:41] ---
    You were supposed to dye
    your hair back to black
[09:43] ---
    Sorry 'bout that.
[09:45] ---
    I'll be waiting on the rooftop.
[09:47] ---
    See? Don't get involved with him.
[09:52] ---
    Rumors about you are already
    all over the school.
[09:55] ---
    I bet Kamoshida is behind it.
[09:58] ---
    Same thing happened to me.
    Kamoshida has already marked you.
[10:02] ---
    So I've been thinking...
[10:06] ---
    About that castle?
[10:08] ---
    Yeah.
[10:09] ---
    I'm not sure what it's about,
[10:11] ---
    but I got a feeling there's a secret in
    the castle we can use to bust Kamoshida.
[10:16] ---
    But it's dangerous, right?
[10:18] ---
    Yeah, I was seriously almost killed.
[10:22] ---
    I don't wanna go back there myself.
[10:24] ---
    But...
[10:26] ---
    There's no other way.
[10:27] ---
    If I do nothing, it'll be over for me.
[10:30] ---
    So I'd rather take a chance, then...
[10:35] ---
    Okay. Let's go.
[10:38] ---
    For real?
[10:42] ---
    What is this?
[10:44] ---
    Metaverse Navigator.
[10:47] ---
    "Kamoshida, Shujin Academy, Castle."
[10:50] ---
    Seriously? Man, it's right there in the history.
[10:54] ---
    I don't know what this navigation app is.
[10:56] ---
    And there's no guarantee of success...
[10:59] ---
    I'm going. You?
[11:01] ---
    Wouldn't miss it for the world.
[11:06] ---
    The castle from yesterday?
[11:08] ---
    And your clothes, too!
[11:10] ---
    What's up with that?
    You're dressed up like a magician.
[11:16] ---
    Let's go!
[11:16] ---
    H-Hey! Wait for me!
[11:19] ---
    You're like a different person
    when you wear that get-up.
[11:23] ---
    Sorry to call you out here, Ann.
[11:28] ---
    No problem, Shiho.
[11:30] ---
    Nationals are coming up, so I keep
    asking myself if I should be starting...
[11:36] ---
    Don't worry! Be confident in yourself!
[11:38] ---
    You've been great at volleyball
    ever since middle school.
[11:41] ---
    That's why you came to this school, right?
[11:43] ---
    Yeah, but...
[11:46] ---
    I know practice is tough,
    but if you quit now, your dream will...
[11:50] ---
    Oh, Takamaki!
    You wanna watch practice, too?
[11:54] ---
    Sorry, I've got something to do today.
[11:58] ---
    See you, Shiho!
[12:05] ---
    Wh-What the hell?!
[12:09] ---
    Receive!
[12:13] ---
    The gym?
[12:15] ---
    Hey, that's a member of
    the volleyball team!
[12:18] ---
    Are the rumors true?
[12:21] ---
    Rumors that Kamoshida
    uses physical punishment.
[12:27] ---
    And that he abuses the members
    as a diversion.
[12:31] ---
    Please stop!
[12:34] ---
    What the hell kind of castle is this?!
[12:36] ---
    Anyway, we've gotta save him! Help me!
[12:39] ---
    This is no place for amateurs,
    so listen up, Blondie and Frizzy Hair!
[12:45] ---
    They're not real humans.
    They're puppets that only exist in this "Palace."
[12:51] ---
    Basically, they're fake humans.
[12:53] ---
    Got it? Useful info, huh?
    Right? Right?!
[12:57] ---
    In exchange, get me outta here.
[13:00] ---
    What is that, a cat?!
    A monster cat!
[13:03] ---
    I'm not a cat. I'm Morgana.
[13:06] ---
    Hey, let's make a deal.
[13:09] ---
    See that key? Use it to free me.
[13:12] ---
    If you do, I'll tell you all about this palace.
[13:16] ---
    You wanna know, right?
[13:18] ---
    All right.
[13:20] ---
    Aren't you agreeing a little too easily?
    What is that?!
[13:27] ---
    Freedom tastes so good!
[13:30] ---
    It's soft... and alive.
[13:33] ---
    K-Knock it off!
    If you touch me there...
[13:39] ---
    L-Let me touch the monster cat, too!
[13:41] ---
    I said I'm not a cat! I'm Morgana.
[13:44] ---
    Tell us about this "Palace," Morgana.
[13:47] ---
    You show promise, Frizzy Hair!
[13:53] ---
    T-This ain't my fault!
[14:01] ---
    You've got a Persona?
[14:05] ---
    There's too many of them! Let's run!
[14:17] ---
    Kamoshida!
[14:18] ---
    Wearing that stupid outfit again!
[14:21] ---
    He's not the guy you know.
[14:23] ---
    The dark, hidden desires
    of the real Kamoshida
[14:26] ---
    have taken physical form
    in this world.
[14:29] ---
    In other words,
    that's Kamoshida's Shadow!
[14:33] ---
    How far the star runner of
    the track team has fallen.
[14:39] ---
    He who acted in violence,
    ending his teammates' dreams.
[14:44] ---
    Isn't that right, "Track Traitor"?
[14:48] ---
    I can imagine the pain the others felt from
    being dragged under by your selfish act.
[14:54] ---
    How dare you raise your hand at me,
[14:57] ---
    even after my kindness
    for supervising track practice.
[15:00] ---
    That wasn't practice! It was physical abuse!
    You just didn't like our team!
[15:05] ---
    You were nothing but an eyesore!
    I'm the only one who needs to achieve results!
[15:10] ---
    The old coach I got fired
    was also a hopeless moron.
[15:13] ---
    Had he not opposed me, I would've settled
    with just breaking his star's leg.
[15:18] ---
    What?
[15:20] ---
    Want me to break your other leg, too?
[15:23] ---
    I'm sure the school will
    write it off as self-defense again.
[15:29] ---
    Dammit! Am I gonna lose again?
[15:32] ---
    I can't run anymore 'cause of this asshole!
[15:36] ---
    And the track team is gone, too...
[15:38] ---
    Blondie... You–
[15:43] ---
    After these two are dealt with, you're next!
[15:48] ---
    You're gonna let him talk to you like that?
    You can't forgive him, right?
[15:53] ---
    Let's take back what's dear to you!
[15:57] ---
    You're right. I don't matter.
    My rep is already beyond repair.
[16:02] ---
    But they deserve to be in the sun again!
[16:07] ---
    Struggle all you want,
[16:09] ---
    you'll never be anything more than
    scum that dragged his friends down!
[16:12] ---
    Once you've been labeled,
    you can never peel it off!
[16:15] ---
    You're wrong!
[16:17] ---
    It's you...
[16:20] ---
    All you think about is using people...
[16:23] ---
    You're the real scumbag, Kamoshida!
[16:31] ---
    No way. You too, Blondie?!
[16:34] ---
    This is the cognitive world.
[16:36] ---
    Where hearts take shape,
    and determine everything.
[16:39] ---
    Also...
[16:43] ---
    Persona!
[16:44] ---
    It's the rebellious soul
    locked deep within a person's heart.
[16:51] ---
    You made me wait quite a while.
[16:55] ---
    You seek power, yes?
    Then let us form a pact.
[16:59] ---
    Since your name has already been disgraced,
    why not hoist the flag and wreak havoc?
[17:03] ---
    That is what your other self sorely desires.
[17:07] ---
    I am thou, thou art I...
[17:11] ---
    There is no turning back.
[17:13] ---
    The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!
[17:36] ---
    This is my Persona! Right on!
[17:40] ---
    With power like this...
[17:42] ---
    It's time for payback, you son of a bitch!
[17:46] ---
    S-Slay him!
[17:52] ---
    Steal it, Captain Kidd!
[17:59] ---
    Arsene!
[18:14] ---
    Show your might, Zorro!
[18:25] ---
    Sheesh. Total amateurs.
[18:27] ---
    You're joining, too?!
[18:32] ---
    Now! Attack as one!
[18:36] ---
    Follow me, rookies!
[18:50] ---
    Not too shabby!
    And you're next, Kamoshida!
[18:54] ---
    I told you, this is my castle.
    It seems you still don't get it...
[19:04] ---
    Takamaki?!
[19:06] ---
    Wh-What a meow-velous
    and beautiful girl!
[19:11] ---
    You're the best, Mr. K!
    You should get rid of that trash!
[19:15] ---
    I'm jealous... No, no, no!
[19:18] ---
    Exactly. No.
[19:19] ---
    Yeah, apparently...
[19:21] ---
    What do you mean?!
[19:23] ---
    Get them! I decree the death penalty!
[19:27] ---
    Let's go!
[19:28] ---
    Yeah, good call, rookie!
[19:31] ---
    Come on!
[19:32] ---
    Hey! Takamaki!
[19:36] ---
    Filthy thief...
[19:44] ---
    Well, I paid you back and then some.
[19:47] ---
    What are you?
[19:48] ---
    There's something that I still need to do.
[19:53] ---
    Crap!
[19:55] ---
    Thanks.
[19:57] ---
    For filling us in. See you again.
[19:59] ---
    Heh, you've got manners.
    You better get goin'.
[20:08] ---
    Those two seem useful...
[20:24] ---
    Damn that bastard, Kamoshida.
    I ain't gonna forget this.
[20:29] ---
    So I wanted to ask...
[20:31] ---
    What's up with your probation?
[20:34] ---
    Listen, you already know my story.
[20:38] ---
    So I wanna hear yours.
[20:43] ---
    Okay.
[20:45] ---
    That night...
[20:48] ---
    Don't! Help!
[20:52] ---
    What are you looking at? Get lost!
[21:04] ---
    Damn brat! Don't think you can
    get away with doing this!
[21:17] ---
    The verdict, one year of probation
    for the defendant, Ren Amamiya.
[21:31] ---
    That's terrible!
[21:34] ---
    You didn't even do anything wrong!
[21:41] ---
    You can't just walk away
    when someone's in trouble, right?
[21:43] ---
    That's why you helped her.
[21:45] ---
    How is that wrong? It ain't at all!
[21:50] ---
    All right, fill up! It's on me.
[21:55] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I never gave you my name.
[21:58] ---
    I'm Ryuji Sakamoto.
[22:00] ---
    Just call me Ryuji, Renren.
[22:04] ---
    Sure. Nice to meet you, Sakamoto.
[22:06] ---
    Asshole.
[23:39] ---
    And that's my current deduction.
[23:43] ---
    Ridiculous.
[23:45] ---
    That's the cause for yesterday's runaway
    subway and other similar incidents?
[23:48] ---
    Yes.
[23:50] ---
    I believe it to be the result
    of someone's will at work.
[23:55] ---
    But that's more the realm of the occult
    than just a crime, huh?
