**[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?
