    OKUMURA FOODS CEO
    SUFFERS FROM CARDIAC ARREST
[00:07] ---
    Cardiac arrest...
[00:10] ---
    Haru's dad will be all right, won't he?
[00:13] ---
    I'm sorry...
[00:15] ---
    I hate to say this,
    but usually after such a report,
[00:18] ---
    it's followed by a confirmation of death.
[00:20] ---
    No way...
[00:23] ---
    Haru...
[00:25] ---
    Why? Are we responsible?
[00:28] ---
    Of course not!
[00:30] ---
    We forced a change of heart
    and it went well, like always, right?
[00:33] ---
    Right?
[00:35] ---
    I can't make heads or tails of it either.
[00:50] ---
    With this, preparations are
    finally in place, yes?
[00:54] ---
    The public has praised them as "allies of justice,"
    before they strike them back to the ground.
[00:59] ---
    This is you all over. No mercy.
[01:03] ---
    Yes, I've already spoken
    to human resources about it.
[01:07] ---
    Everyone will dance to our tune.
[01:10] ---
    Including her.
[02:57] ---
    What?
[02:58] ---
    They found a calling card in
    the principal's office, too!
[03:03] ---
    I'm sorry to ask again,
[03:05] ---
    but your father hadn't said anything
    about the Phantom Thieves, yes?
[03:09] ---
    That's right.
[03:10] ---
    Please contact me if something catches
    your attention, no matter how trivial it seems.
[03:20] ---
    The principal?
[03:22] ---
    Good work investigating
    the Okumura home.
[03:26] ---
    You wanted to speak to me?
[03:31] ---
    Niijima-kun, I'm officially putting you
    in charge of this case.
[03:37] ---
    Personnel and planning will be up to you.
    The police will also be under your command.
[03:43] ---
    Why would you choose someone
    as inexperienced as myself?
[03:46] ---
    You were the first person to focus on
    the psychotic breakdown incidents
[03:50] ---
    and you've steadily been
    investigating this all along.
[03:52] ---
    It's a recognition of your achievements,
    in my own way.
[03:56] ---
    I'm honored, sir.
[03:57] ---
    We'll have to prepare a higher position for you
    in the event that you succeed.
[04:05] ---
    Where's Haru?
[04:07] ---
    Not here yet. She called this meeting,
    so we should wait for her.
[04:12] ---
    People are posting that
    we killed Mr. Okumura!
[04:17] ---
    So it's already begun...
[04:19] ---
    What's that mean?
[04:20] ---
    The CEO collapsed the way he did, during an
    apology conference that our group caused.
[04:25] ---
    It's no wonder that some
    would make a fuss about it.
[04:28] ---
    Still, they were raving about us so much,
    and now they're treating us like murderers?
[04:33] ---
    They don't know a damn thing about it!
[04:36] ---
    Haru!
[04:37] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[04:39] ---
    It's okay.
[04:41] ---
    My condolences...
[04:45] ---
    I'm okay.
[04:46] ---
    Listen, I wanted to ask something...
[04:49] ---
    Did you all target the principal?
[04:53] ---
    A public prosecutor came to
    my home this afternoon.
[04:55] ---
    A woman named Niijima-san.
[04:59] ---
    I overheard her saying a calling card
    was found in the principal's office.
[05:03] ---
    What?!
[05:04] ---
    That's the first we've heard of it!
[05:06] ---
    Then who would leave one there?!
[05:08] ---
    Hell if I know, but...
[05:10] ---
    That calling card is a fake.
[05:12] ---
    Someone must be trying to set us up.
[05:16] ---
    If they're making it look like
    we're responsible for the principal, too...
[05:19] ---
    ...then the Phantom Thieves
    are being cast as murderers.
[05:23] ---
    The persecution against us
    will only get worse.
[05:28] ---
    Futaba?
[05:30] ---
    There's something on my mind.
[05:35] ---
    I'm home.
[05:37] ---
    Welcome home.
[05:39] ---
    Sis, want some dinner?
[05:41] ---
    No thanks. I just came home
    to get a change of clothes.
[05:45] ---
    Staying at work?
[05:47] ---
    I've been entrusted with
    a very important task.
[05:49] ---
    You look awful though...
    Are you okay?
[05:53] ---
    I can't afford to fail.
    It's all over if I can't win this.
[05:56] ---
    Still, if you were to collapse
    from exhaustion—
[05:58] ---
    This is my one chance to get a promotion!
[06:04] ---
    Things are going to get a little crazy
    at Shujin starting tomorrow.
[06:09] ---
    But don't worry. It'll be over soon.
[06:12] ---
    Is the important task
    about the Phantom Thieves?
[06:15] ---
    It's none of your concern.
[06:19] ---
    So, it seems the police are
    investigating the school.
[06:24] ---
    I've been told they want to question
    all of the students.
[06:32] ---
    Let's see... Ren Amamiya.
    Ah, you're the one currently on probation.
[06:37] ---
    Says here you had a dispute
    with Mr. Kamoshida?
[06:40] ---
    Yes, I guess.
[06:42] ---
    You spend time with
    quite an interesting group.
[06:44] ---
    Yusuke Kitagawa...
    Oh, even Haru Okumura.
[06:50] ---
    Well, the more friends the better, right?
[06:58] ---
    I see... Sorry to have taken your time.
[07:02] ---
    You can go.
[07:05] ---
    Oh, almost forgot.
    Just one more thing I wanted to ask.
[07:10] ---
    Do you think the Phantom Thieves
    are associated with this school?
[07:15] ---
    Maybe.
[07:17] ---
    Kids these days sure are elusive.
[07:21] ---
    Thank you.
[07:24] ---
    I see. They even have my name.
[07:27] ---
    Sounds like we can't take
    the police lightly either.
[07:30] ---
    Everyone was asked the same questions.
[07:33] ---
    It's a tried and true tactic.
[07:35] ---
    To fluster the subject,
    then wait for them to slip up.
[07:39] ---
    You didn't do that, did you?
[07:41] ---
    I don't think so, but I would've been done for
    if they saw how sweaty my hands were.
[07:45] ---
    So you did find anything out, Futaba?
[07:48] ---
    The Medjed I banned this summer...
[07:51] ---
    ...wasn't the real one.
[07:54] ---
    I was curious and looked into
    the code they were using again.
[07:57] ---
    Code is like fingerprints. No matter how
    you try to disguise it, quirks will appear.
[08:02] ---
    This isn't the code of someone
    interested in cracking.
[08:06] ---
    It's definitely not an official Medjed member.
[08:09] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:10] ---
    So someone used the Medjed name
    to provoke the Phantom Thieves?
[08:15] ---
    For what purpose?
[08:17] ---
    Maybe just for fun?
[08:19] ---
    Yeah, maybe.
[08:21] ---
    Remember, it was around the time
    our group started gettin' popular.
[08:24] ---
    So they wanted to get in on the hype?
[08:28] ---
    Hold on. Isn't it the opposite?
[08:31] ---
    Perhaps they used the Medjed name
    to make the Phantom Thieves known...
[08:36] ---
    Actually, I was thinking the same thing.
[08:39] ---
    As I said, code is like fingerprints.
[08:42] ---
    I found the same fingerprints
    somewhere else.
[08:45] ---
    Where?
[08:46] ---
    The Phantom Aficionado Website.
[08:48] ---
    There were traces of it being
    illegally tampered with from the outside.
[08:52] ---
    The Phan-Site?
[08:53] ---
    Yeah. The online traffic was immense
    right before summer vacation.
[08:58] ---
    Same with the rankings. Particularly the time
    when Mr. Okumura ranked first.
[09:03] ---
    So you're saying my father's
    number one ranking was fabricated?
[09:07] ---
    Yeah, by whoever used Medjed's name
    to stir up the Phantom Thieves.
[09:13] ---
    I think I'm starting to see the big picture.
[09:15] ---
    The result of the Medjed case
    brought attention to us.
[09:20] ---
    And our reason for targeting Okumura
    was influenced by the public and rankings...
[09:26] ---
    The perfect timing,
    and the perfect target.
[09:29] ---
    If both of those had been set up...
[09:31] ---
    It all fits.
[09:33] ---
    So, the culprit was planning to put
    the blame on us from the start?
[09:38] ---
    It's just a hypothesis.
    We lack any hard evidence.
[09:42] ---
    But if everything you've said is correct,
[09:45] ---
    it would mean we've been playing right into
    their hand for the past two months or so.
[09:49] ---
    We've been manipulated.
[09:52] ---
    We're overthinkin' this!
[09:54] ---
    I mean, we're talkin' both
    the rankings and Medjed!
[09:57] ---
    If this was all a set up, then what kind
    of guy did we make an enemy of?
[10:05] ---
    Actually, Sis told me she's been given an
    important task regarding the Phantom Thieves.
[10:10] ---
    Seriously? That means...
[10:12] ---
    Yes, I'm sure of it.
    The Prosecutor's Office is making its move.
[10:16] ---
    That questioning today must be part of it.
[10:18] ---
    Prosecutors Office?
[10:20] ---
    My sister is part of
    the Special Investigations Unit.
[10:22] ---
    An elite team that deals with
    huge cases like government scandals.
[10:26] ---
    Their presence means somebody's screwed.
[10:29] ---
    They're the best investigation force
    in the country.
[10:31] ---
    It's a whole new level than before,
    when the police were just being nosey.
[10:36] ---
    Are they going to catch us?
[10:39] ---
    Calm down.
    We mustn't do anything to stand out.
[10:42] ---
    Right.
[10:43] ---
    Let's wait and see what happens, for now.
[11:03] ---
    The Phantom Thieves are in hot water.
[11:05] ---
    I know. I heard they're killers.
[11:12] ---
    Hello? What's up, Shiho?
[11:17] ---
    Arrest the bastards!
[11:18] ---
    Can't believe I was a fan of murderers!
[11:20] ---
    Unforgiveable
[11:21] ---
    - Agreed!
    - Arrest them!
[11:24] ---
    Talk about doing a complete 180...
[11:29] ---
    Ever since my father passed away,
[11:32] ---
    all I hear about are accusations
    and betrayals from people in the company.
[11:36] ---
    Must be rough.
[11:38] ---
    As a shareholder, I should be looking into
    how the business is run.
[11:43] ---
    It seems the execs want to push out
    those they dislike, while using the others.
[11:49] ---
    All they think about is personal gain.
[11:53] ---
    When at a time like this,
    the company really needs to come together.
[12:08] ---
    If you're not playing, let me.
[12:10] ---
    Sure.
[12:13] ---
    That kid is awesome!
[12:15] ---
    It's why they call him King!
[12:16] ---
    That's him?!
[12:21] ---
    Wait long?
[12:22] ---
    Sorry I asked to meet in a place like this.
[12:25] ---
    Sheesh. The cops have nothing on us.
[12:29] ---
    All that questioning came up empty.
[12:33] ---
    You wanted to talk to me?
[12:35] ---
    Right, this.
[12:37] ---
    He's a young, handsome,
    up-and-coming actor.
[12:41] ---
    If you change the heart of a guy like him,
[12:44] ---
    I bet public opinion will flip again
    and you'll regain their support.
[12:48] ---
    Don't you think?
[12:49] ---
    Mishima?
[12:51] ---
    He's gotta be doing some shady stuff.
    I just know it.
[12:56] ---
    And no, I'm not saying that out of jealousy.
[13:00] ---
    I support the Phantom Thieves.
[13:02] ---
    The Phantom Thieves are changing...
    No, I'm changing the world's view.
[13:08] ---
    The Phan-Site...
    The Phantom Thieves can't end like this!
[13:12] ---
    I won't let it end!
[13:15] ---
    I agree.
[13:17] ---
    The Phantom Thieves can't end like this.
[13:23] ---
    I just sent the data to you.
[13:25] ---
    Make sure you share it with the others.
[13:33] ---
    Well, I'll be counting on you again.
[13:36] ---
    This is an important time for Hifumi,
    so she needs as much recognition as possible.
[13:40] ---
    Yes, of course.
[13:42] ---
    Then I'll see you later, Hifumi.
[13:45] ---
    Right.
[13:51] ---
    Spend more money on publicity, huh?
[13:54] ---
    Well, I can understand how she feels.
[13:57] ---
    My apologies.
[13:59] ---
    I'll try talking with my mother later.
[14:03] ---
    Anyway, we have a meeting.
[14:05] ---
    Gather the staff.
[14:09] ---
    I remember you...
[14:12] ---
    Thank you for helping me back then.
[14:16] ---
    Not at all...
[14:21] ---
    If you'd like someone to talk to, I'm willing.
[14:29] ---
    Have you been to this church before?
[14:32] ---
    I play shogi with the priest.
[14:35] ---
    I can relax and gather my thoughts here.
[14:41] ---
    That was my mother earlier.
[14:45] ---
    Ever since I was young, it would please her
    whenever I won at shogi.
[14:49] ---
    And that also made me happy,
    so I've done my best since.
[14:54] ---
    But lately, she's been a bit too earnest,
[14:57] ---
    setting up interviews,
    and now some cheesy photo shoot.
[15:02] ---
    You should refuse.
[15:04] ---
    I couldn't possibly...
[15:06] ---
    If I don't live up to my mother's expectations...
[15:10] ---
    You're a strange one, aren't you?
[15:13] ---
    It's like you're a good listener,
    or more like you have this strange charm
[15:17] ---
    that makes me want to tell you everything.
[15:20] ---
    Really?
[15:22] ---
    Awaken, dragon! Let your
    shadowy hellfire consume them all!
[15:26] ---
    Dark Inferno...
[15:28] ---
    Rook!
[15:32] ---
    S-Sorry. When I get worked up, I suddenly...
[15:37] ---
    About the only thing I can do is play shogi.
[15:40] ---
    I've done it for so long,
    so if I could ever help someone else,
[15:45] ---
    I feel like I'd be proud.
[15:48] ---
    Proud of myself.
[15:52] ---
    - Waiting for the end of the Phantom Thieves
    - Give 'em the death penalty!
[15:53] ---
    - Give 'em the death penalty!
    - I bet they'll be arrested.
[15:57] ---
    I disagree
[15:59] ---
    I have a problem I can't tell anyone!
    Please, Phantom Thieves!
[16:08] ---
    Do you have some time after school?
[16:14] ---
    Suzui-san!
[16:15] ---
    Amamiya-kun, right? Long time no see.
[16:19] ---
    How are you?
[16:20] ---
    Good, thank you. I'm fine now.
[16:23] ---
    Shiho worked really hard in physical therapy.
[16:26] ---
    Every time I watched her,
    tears came to my eyes.
[16:29] ---
    Oh, come on. It's thanks to you
    for supporting me, Ann.
[16:33] ---
    I'm glad.
[16:34] ---
    But you remember what happened, right?
[16:36] ---
    Shiho's mom says she's going to
    have her go to another school.
[16:41] ---
    But before I do, I'd like to
    go up on that roof one more time.
[16:45] ---
    To sort out my feelings.
[16:54] ---
    It's high.
[16:56] ---
    You know, I didn't want to die.
[17:00] ---
    I just needed to escape...
[17:02] ---
    It was like another person was screaming,
    "no more!" inside of me, telling me to come here.
[17:11] ---
    It almost felt like that person
    was trying to kill me...
[17:15] ---
    But that person was me.
    My weak self.
[17:19] ---
    So I wanted to see
    if she would show up again.
[17:24] ---
    But she's gone, isn't she?
[17:27] ---
    Yeah... She's gone for good.
[17:34] ---
    Thank you for all of your encouragement.
[17:37] ---
    Shiho...
[17:39] ---
    I'll always follow your modeling career.
[17:43] ---
    I won't make you feel ashamed of me
    and I won't give up, no matter what!
[17:50] ---
    Thanks to Shiho, I remembered.
[17:54] ---
    That's how we got our start.
[17:58] ---
    Thinking if more people
    like Shiho were out there.
[18:03] ---
    Yeah.
[18:04] ---
    No matter what's happened,
    this isn't the time to back down or be sad.
[18:14] ---
    Thanks for coming with me.
[18:16] ---
    No problem.
[18:21] ---
    Gather 'round! Look at this!
[18:25] ---
    Phantom Aficionado Website
[18:25] ---
    "Purge! I'll punish anyone
    who attacks the Phantom Thieves"?
[18:29] ---
    This is...
[18:30] ---
    Hey, is this for real?!
[18:33] ---
    Futaba, explain this.
[18:35] ---
    I thought I'd check the Phan-Site and saw it.
[18:38] ---
    Has it already gotten public attention?
[18:40] ---
    No.
[18:41] ---
    Before the admin could post the message,
    I blocked it so nobody else has seen it.
[18:44] ---
    Nice save, Futaba.
[18:47] ---
    Mishima...
[18:49] ---
    Let's go to Mementos.
[18:51] ---
    We may see Mishima's Shadow.
[18:54] ---
    Are we going to change his heart?
[18:57] ---
    I don't know.
[18:58] ---
    Let's try talking to it first.
[19:00] ---
    But this is Mishima's request.
[19:05] ---
    He must be looking for help.
[19:10] ---
    Bingo!
[19:13] ---
    You guys... The Phantom Thieves are here!
[19:20] ---
    So you wanna change my heart?
[19:22] ---
    After everything I've done for you guys?!
[19:25] ---
    "Purge!" The opposite effect would happen
    if you posted something like that!
[19:29] ---
    Shut up! Don't give me orders!
[19:32] ---
    I'm thinking about strategy
    more than anyone.
[19:34] ---
    I'm the Phantom Thieves' producer!
[19:37] ---
    Producer?
[19:38] ---
    I was always just a zero.
    Someone to be ignored.
[19:43] ---
    But now I'm the one who changes society!
[19:46] ---
    Finally! Finally I can see the light!
[19:49] ---
    So why are you trying to stop me?!
[19:52] ---
    Mishima...
[19:56] ---
    Wh-What do you want?
[19:59] ---
    That look...
[20:00] ---
    It's all your fault.
[20:03] ---
    It was enough at first, knowing the rumored
    Phantom Thieves were right under my nose.
[20:08] ---
    But you just had to get close to me!
[20:10] ---
    I want to be a hero who gets noticed, too!
[20:14] ---
    I know I did it the wrong way!
[20:16] ---
    But if I didn't do it at all, I'd...
[20:19] ---
    D-Do it. Go ahead.
[20:22] ---
    You're gonna change my heart, right?!
[20:25] ---
    Don't back down. Face yourself.
[20:29] ---
    We will do the same.
[20:31] ---
    We'll face ourselves,
    think of what we can do,
[20:34] ---
    and I swear we'll get ourselves
    out of this predicament.
[20:41] ---
    B-Big words! What can you do?!
[20:45] ---
    When the world's against you, like you're
    living in an impossibly hard video game?!
[20:49] ---
    What can I...
[20:52] ---
    MIDTERM EXAMS
[20:59] ---
    I don't know why I said that.
[21:02] ---
    Feels like an evil spirit left my body.
[21:05] ---
    The Thieves have been under
    a lot of criticism lately,
[21:08] ---
    but I don't wanna shut down the Phan-Site.
[21:11] ---
    As long as there are voices crying out for
    the Phantom Thieves, I'll help them be heard.
[21:17] ---
    I know it's hard to have no self-confidence
    and not be able to raise your voice in reality.
[21:25] ---
    Oh right...
[21:28] ---
    Phan-Site aside, I've started writing about
    the Phantom Thieves on my computer.
[21:33] ---
    Like a documentary.
[21:35] ---
    I'll do my best to record it all.
    And I'll root for the Phantom Thieves to the end.
[21:39] ---
    Tell the others, too.
[21:46] ---
    SCHOOL FESTIVAL
[21:50] ---
    Has something good happened?
[21:54] ---
    You're playing with more energy.
[21:57] ---
    To be honest, I'm in a tight spot...
[22:03] ---
    ...but it's our turn to catch up now.
[23:35] ---
    And now, tomorrow's forecast.
[23:37] ---
    We're getting deeper into fall, and with it
    will be chilly wind. For now—
[23:43] ---
    All right, about your final crime.
[23:48] ---
    This was delivered to your latest target,
    the one you decided would prove your innocence.
[23:53] ---
    It's addressed to me.
[23:56] ---
    Now, explain everything to me.
