[00:04] ---
    I hear they're taping
    Good Morning Japan here.
[00:06] ---
    Who's that? Is he famous?
[00:09] ---
    Despite my appearance,
    I'm a sucker for sweets.
[00:13] ---
    Detective work requires mental exertion.
    So you could say that sugar is essential.
[00:18] ---
    And cut! That's good for now.
[00:21] ---
    - Okay.
    - Right, next is...
[00:28] ---
    Excuse me. You're Akechi, right?
[00:31] ---
    The great high school detective!
[00:34] ---
    Yes, I'm surprised you've heard of me.
[00:37] ---
    I'm honored.
[00:39] ---
    Y-Yes, well...
[00:41] ---
    Also, we've got Phantom Thieves
    at our school, but it's probably just rumors.
[00:48] ---
    Phantom Thieves?
[02:24] ---
    And where'd you guys get this?
[02:28] ---
    Well, um...
[02:30] ---
    B-By chance!
    From an acquaintance!
[02:34] ---
    It was, like, in his closet...
[02:38] ---
    Um... So will you–
[02:41] ---
    Here.
[02:47] ---
    Well, one, two...
[02:51] ---
    Cheers!
[02:57] ---
    An explosion of meaty juice!
[03:02] ---
    Bliss...
[03:04] ---
    This part's cream cheese!
[03:07] ---
    - High-class flavor!
    - Right?
[03:10] ---
    This lunch buffet is famous,
    even among part-timers.
[03:15] ---
    Part-timers?
[03:16] ---
    Huh? Didn't I tell you?
[03:18] ---
    I do modeling work for magazines.
    Only once in a while, though.
[03:23] ---
    That's our Lady Ann!
[03:25] ---
    No wonder this restaurant
    has a celebrity atmosphere!
[03:28] ---
    Knock it off. I'm not a celebrity.
[03:31] ---
    I just wanted to try coming here once.
[03:34] ---
    10,000 apiece, for a total of 30,000.
[03:37] ---
    Well, if they overlook the fact
    we've got a cat...
[03:40] ---
    I'm not a cat!
[03:42] ---
    I guess blowing it all at once
    will keep us out of trouble later.
[03:46] ---
    To think Kamoshida's Treasure would be...
[03:49] ---
    ...a gold medal, huh?
[03:56] ---
    To Kamoshida, that gold medal
    was worth as much as a crown.
[04:01] ---
    That could be why.
[04:03] ---
    You mean his past glory?
[04:05] ---
    So he was desperately clinging to it.
[04:12] ---
    Well, there wasn't any sense
    in us keeping it.
[04:15] ---
    Since it was basically the embodiment
    of his desires, right?
[04:19] ---
    Yeah.
[04:20] ---
    It would've been weird to keep it.
[04:23] ---
    Getting rid of it like this
    was the right choice.
[04:26] ---
    Yeah.
[04:27] ---
    Thanks to that,
    we're able to celebrate like this.
[04:32] ---
    Do you feel guilty?
[04:34] ---
    Well, maybe a little.
[04:37] ---
    That medal was a fake.
    It was created from Kamoshida's desires.
[04:42] ---
    Well, we changed his heart
    and set him on the right path,
[04:47] ---
    so we deserve this little bonus!
[04:49] ---
    - That makes sense.
    - Of course it does, Ren!
[04:52] ---
    Kamoshida admitted his crimes
    and is cooperating with the judicial process.
[04:56] ---
    Shiho starts rehab next week!
[04:58] ---
    Everything's working out!
[05:01] ---
    So let's celebrate
    by eating our hearts out!
[05:03] ---
    Yikes! We've already used up
    half of our time!
[05:05] ---
    Seriously? I haven't had
    my fill of beef yet!
[05:08] ---
    I need to eat my way
    through the dessert menu!
[05:13] ---
    No way I could've held it while they were
    cleaning the bathroom downstairs...
[05:17] ---
    You ate way too much.
    What are you, a little kid?
[05:20] ---
    Takamaki is waiting. Let's get back.
[05:24] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[05:30] ---
    Pull the car around.
[05:32] ---
    We'll head back to party headquarters
    until the MLIT meeting.
[05:35] ---
    Yessir.
[05:36] ---
    Whoa...
[05:37] ---
    What'd the chief secretary say?
[05:40] ---
    To wait and see what happens,
    and not comment until public view settles.
[05:45] ---
    That coward...
[05:47] ---
    Damn gerontocracy with
    their noninvolvement,
[05:49] ---
    resting on their laurels while
    being the ruling party.
[05:52] ---
    Yo, Pops, we were in line here first.
[05:55] ---
    Have they started a day care?
[05:58] ---
    Seems the customer base has changed
    since I was here last.
[06:01] ---
    What?! Hey, wait!
[06:06] ---
    What was his deal?
    Acting like a big shot...
[06:08] ---
    I dunno, but he pissed me off!
    Lookin' down on people!
[06:14] ---
    All right! Now I've got everything–
[06:14] ---
    I was furious and told my husband–
[06:18] ---
    Hey! This was expensive!
[06:20] ---
    You need to be more careful!
[06:23] ---
    Are you all right?
[06:24] ---
    This girl just pushed me!
[06:27] ---
    Who raised her to be like this?
[06:29] ---
    Liar! You bumped into me!
[06:32] ---
    Why's she here?
    A girl like that doesn't belong.
[06:34] ---
    Doesn't she have a chaperone?
    The child came alone?
[06:36] ---
    I'm sure she's been
    spoiled rotten by her parents.
[06:38] ---
    Children today...
[06:44] ---
    What's up? Did somethin' happen?
[06:49] ---
    Yeah...
[06:52] ---
    That frickin' sucks!
    Even though she bumped into you!
[06:56] ---
    Sounds like you had
    your share of jerks, too.
[06:58] ---
    Being in a hurry doesn't mean
    you get to cut line, right?
[07:01] ---
    Right.
[07:03] ---
    It wasn't just Kamoshida.
[07:05] ---
    Maybe the world is full of adults like that.
[07:09] ---
    Hey. I've kind of got an idea.
[07:13] ---
    UNITED FUTURE REP. MASAYOSHI SHIDO (53)
[07:13] ---
    It pains me to say this,
[07:15] ---
    but the deterioration of this country's
    political systems knows no bounds.
[07:20] ---
    A fresh wind that brings reform.
    That's what the people seek.
[07:26] ---
    And now the question is raised
    if incumbent cabinet ministers should resign.
[07:32] ---
    It seems you've been
    hanging around that boy lately.
[07:37] ---
    You care this much about
    a string of crazy incidents?
[07:42] ---
    Yes.
[07:43] ---
    Very well.
[07:44] ---
    Pursue it if you like.
    I'll take responsibility if anything happens.
[07:49] ---
    Thank you.
[07:53] ---
    Hey, Morgana.
[07:55] ---
    Everyone's got a Palace, right?
[07:58] ---
    Anyone with a strong, distorted desire.
[08:01] ---
    Same for them havin' a change of heart
    if their Treasure gets stolen?
[08:05] ---
    That'd be the case.
[08:08] ---
    Then how about this?
[08:10] ---
    These selfish shitheads
    who look down on everyone else...
[08:14] ---
    I thought we could change the hearts
    of those kinds of people.
[08:20] ---
    You mean continue as Phantom Thieves?
[08:23] ---
    Yeah!
[08:25] ---
    As the Phantom Thieves, we could help
    people who are in trouble!
[08:29] ---
    I think if we ignore people in trouble,
    I'd go back to being the same as before...
[08:38] ---
    But how would we actually do it?
[08:42] ---
    We would steal their hearts again.
[08:45] ---
    Yeah! I mean, let's give it a try!
[08:49] ---
    Would the same thing happen again?
[08:52] ---
    Maybe we could change it!
[08:55] ---
    The four of us could change this lousy world!
[08:59] ---
    Yes! Those are the words
    I've been waiting for!
[09:01] ---
    Now I know I did the right thing
    by going out of my way to help you!
[09:05] ---
    Whoa, wait a second.
    Don't go running off half-cocked.
[09:10] ---
    What do you think?
[09:11] ---
    It'll work, right?
[09:16] ---
    If we're together, it can.
[09:18] ---
    Renren!
[09:19] ---
    When you put it like that...
    Yeah, I think it'll work.
[09:25] ---
    Even if you're just fledglings, this means
    we're an actual organization now.
[09:30] ---
    Fledglings, huh?
    That's actually pretty fitting.
[09:34] ---
    All right, it's settled!
[09:36] ---
    We'll catch all these shitty adults by surprise,
    and make ourselves known to the world!
[09:45] ---
    You're fine with being our leader, right?
[09:48] ---
    I can't handle all that responsibility stuff.
[09:52] ---
    Where's my say in this?
[09:55] ---
    But Lady Ann made the
    recommendation, so I'll allow it.
[09:59] ---
    Um, Takamaki...
[10:00] ---
    Just go with Ann.
    We're friends by now, aren't we?
[10:05] ---
    Okay... Ann.
[10:08] ---
    Good to be working with you, Ren.
[10:10] ---
    Asshole! You blew me off
    when I said it!
[10:13] ---
    Good to be working with you, Ryuji.
[10:14] ---
    O-Okay. Now you've got it.
[10:18] ---
    Then it's decided.
[10:20] ---
    Ren is the leader. Agreed?
[10:23] ---
    No objections!
[10:25] ---
    Let's decide on a name for our group.
[10:27] ---
    Wouldn't it be cool
    to put it on our calling card?
[10:29] ---
    A cute and gorgeous name.
[10:32] ---
    How about... "Pink Diamonds"!
[10:35] ---
    I'm gettin' a little-league baseball
    vibe from it.
[10:38] ---
    Ren, what do you think?
[10:45] ---
    "The Phantoms."
[10:47] ---
    No objections!
[10:51] ---
    So just "Phantom Thieves"
    without the "thieves" part?
[10:57] ---
    All right, so we're officially
    a group of phantom thieves,
[11:01] ---
    but now the issue is how do we
    decide on our next target.
[11:07] ---
    Did I just hear a cat?
[11:11] ---
    Just my imagination?
[11:14] ---
    Also, whoever put up the weird graffiti
    on the back blackboard,
[11:17] ---
    erase it after class.
[11:21] ---
    Hey.
[11:22] ---
    You checked out my site, right?
[11:27] ---
    There are many more evil adults
    outside of Kamoshida.
[11:31] ---
    But I'm sure the Phantom Thieves
    will do something.
[11:35] ---
    So I put the site up to
    cheer them on in my own way.
[11:39] ---
    What are you...
[11:40] ---
    I get it.
[11:41] ---
    You have nothing to do
    with the Phantom Thieves, right?
[11:45] ---
    Give me some space.
[11:48] ---
    I did you wrong,
    so it's least I can do to apologize.
[11:53] ---
    Anyway, I'll do my best on my end,
    so I'm counting on you!
[11:59] ---
    Site?
[12:01] ---
    The culprit responsible for the calling card?
    But wasn't that a prank?
[12:06] ---
    I'd like to identify them so that I may handle
    the media and police in a correct fashion.
[12:13] ---
    I don't like this.
    I mean, spying on students...
[12:18] ---
    I'm asking because
    I thought you were my best choice.
[12:32] ---
    A Phantom Phansite?
[12:34] ---
    Yeah!
[12:35] ---
    You guys haven't seen this yet?
[12:38] ---
    Get with the times!
[12:39] ---
    What are those comments?
[12:41] ---
    "Great job, Phantom Thieves."
    "Now I can keep going, too."
[12:44] ---
    "Thank you for giving us hope."
[12:46] ---
    I thought we'd be ignored,
[12:48] ---
    but it looks like some people
    believe in our calling card.
[12:52] ---
    It's kind of strange.
[12:53] ---
    I was desperate just dealing with my own
    problems, but seing people say all this...
[12:58] ---
    I know! It's pretty moving, right?
[13:02] ---
    Requests?
[13:04] ---
    Yep, there are plenty of requests for us.
[13:07] ---
    They want us to change the heart
    of this or that nutcase.
[13:10] ---
    That's it!
[13:11] ---
    Come with me, you guys!
[13:13] ---
    I've got something to show you.
[13:17] ---
    "My friend is a shameless deadbeat,
    so I want to make him apologize."
[13:20] ---
    Rookie! Look for a more serious request!
[13:23] ---
    What's that, mangy cat?!
[13:25] ---
    How about this one?
[13:26] ---
    "I don't know what to do about
    my ex who's stalking me.
[13:30] ---
    His name is Natsuhiko Nakanohara."
[13:32] ---
    You have good taste, Lady Ann!
[13:34] ---
    Hey, Ryuji. Next, bring up the Meta-Nav.
[13:37] ---
    Okay, okay.
[13:38] ---
    If I recall, I just input the name and place?
[13:40] ---
    No, not this time.
[13:42] ---
    The key word is "Mementos."
[13:46] ---
    Mementos?
[13:50] ---
    Your destination has a hit.
[13:52] ---
    Beginning navigation.
[13:54] ---
    - Hey, hey, hey!
    - Wha...?!
[13:57] ---
    All right! Follow me!
[14:06] ---
    You guys are too slow!
[14:09] ---
    You changed!
[14:10] ---
    And us, too?!
[14:13] ---
    Morgana...
[14:14] ---
    Is this Nakanohara's Palace?
[14:17] ---
    Man, you adapt fast!
[14:19] ---
    This is certainly a kind of Palace,
[14:22] ---
    but it's different from that last one,
    in that it's everyone's Palace.
[14:26] ---
    A Palace as grand as Kamoshida's "castle"
[14:30] ---
    only forms when a person's wishes
    are extremely distorted.
[14:33] ---
    So, instead of many individual Palaces,
[14:37] ---
    the general public has
    one gigantic shared Palace.
[14:41] ---
    So that's what this is...
[14:43] ---
    Mementos.
[14:45] ---
    When you say shared, you mean
    they're all put together?
[14:49] ---
    Even though they're just strangers?
[14:51] ---
    Think of it as the "collective unconscious."
[14:54] ---
    No, never mind.
    You wouldn't understand that.
[14:57] ---
    Asshole! Don't treat me like a fool!
[14:59] ---
    So, in short,
[15:01] ---
    we can use this place to change the hearts
    of people who don't have a Palace?
[15:05] ---
    Exactly!
[15:08] ---
    This means the time has finally come...
[15:13] ---
    Morgana! Transform!
[15:21] ---
    A car?!
[15:22] ---
    No way! How the hell?!
[15:24] ---
    Among the general public,
[15:27] ---
    "cat's turning into buses"
    is an extremely widespread cognition.
[15:33] ---
    Why are you driving?!
[15:36] ---
    Well, I am a car.
    Somebody has to drive.
[15:40] ---
    That's not my point! Well, yes, that too!
[15:44] ---
    Be quiet! You'll disturb the Shadows.
[15:48] ---
    Shadows...
[15:49] ---
    Is that one, too?!
[15:51] ---
    I said that Mementos is
    the Palace of the general public.
[15:55] ---
    If there's a Palace,
    of course there are gonna be Shadows.
[16:04] ---
    There!
[16:05] ---
    It's Nakanohara!
[16:08] ---
    Who are you?
[16:10] ---
    So you're the stalker, huh?
[16:12] ---
    Haven't you ever stopped to
    consider how your ex feels?
[16:15] ---
    She's my property!
    I can do whatever I want with her!
[16:21] ---
    What a load of crap.
[16:23] ---
    We're gonna change the hearts of
    all the bastards like you!
[16:27] ---
    There are plenty of people
    far worse than me!
[16:33] ---
    Wh-Whoa!
[16:34] ---
    That's right. Madarame...
[16:37] ---
    He stole everything from me,
    but you're letting him off the hook?!
[16:41] ---
    Madarame?
[16:43] ---
    You ignore that scumbag...
[16:46] ---
    So why am I the one
    who gets persecuted?!
[16:54] ---
    Here he comes!
[16:56] ---
    Get ready!
[17:04] ---
    All right!
[17:06] ---
    I was wrong.
[17:09] ---
    I'll go back into the real me.
[17:17] ---
    Yes! Next let's check on something!
[17:24] ---
    A new area has been confirmed.
    Updating guidance information.

[17:28] ---
    Just as I thought!
[17:30] ---
    What is this?
[17:32] ---
    There's more ahead?
[17:33] ---
    Yeah.
[17:35] ---
    This is as far as I got last time I was here.
[17:38] ---
    It must have opened up because we've
    gained some fame from Kamoshida's case.
[17:45] ---
    The cognition of the masses has changed,
    giving us the ability to go deeper.
[17:49] ---
    It's creepy.
[17:51] ---
    How big is this place?
[17:56] ---
    I have no memory of that.
[17:59] ---
    I don't remember who I am,
    or why I'm in this form.
[18:03] ---
    Really?
[18:05] ---
    I wanted to solve that mystery so badly
    that I wandered through the Metaverse,
[18:09] ---
    until I got lost in that castle.
[18:11] ---
    And Kamoshida captured you, huh?
[18:15] ---
    Mementos is everyone's Palace,
    but it's also the source of all Palaces.
[18:20] ---
    If I can solve this riddle,
[18:22] ---
    I'm sure I'll return to my human form...
[18:26] ---
    ...my original form.
[18:30] ---
    So I'm going to be a hard taskmaster,
    training you guys to help me!
[18:34] ---
    - Right!
    - Sure!
[18:36] ---
    Do your worst.
[18:39] ---
    I have a proposal.
[18:41] ---
    First!
[18:42] ---
    From here on, the Phantoms shall
    only target real fiends, the bigwigs.
[18:48] ---
    I'm with you there.
[18:49] ---
    No objections!
[18:50] ---
    Second!
[18:51] ---
    All members must agree
    before carrying out a plan.
[18:55] ---
    It's all for one and one for all.
    We share a common destiny.
[18:59] ---
    So it must be unanimous?
[19:01] ---
    Yeah!
[19:01] ---
    Roger!
[19:08] ---
    All right, you can get dressed.
[19:08] ---
    TAKEMI MEDICAL CLINIC
[19:12] ---
    Pulse, blood pressure...
[19:14] ---
    Your blood test shows
    no abnormalities either.
[19:17] ---
    But where are all the fresh bruises from?
[19:21] ---
    Do you have some strange part-time job?
[19:24] ---
    For the Phantom Thieves to go on,
    we need a variety of confidants.
[19:28] ---
    Make friends with her.
[19:29] ---
    Oh, right. Speaking of part-time jobs...
[19:35] ---
    You're really risking it,
    taking part in these clinical trials...
[19:39] ---
    You're a real challenger.
[19:41] ---
    You told me to make friends with her.
[19:43] ---
    Here.
[19:45] ---
    I don't want the government to accuse me
    of not feeding you properly.
[19:54] ---
    Is it good?
[19:55] ---
    But it's a secret recipe.
[19:57] ---
    Don't expect me to share it for nothing.
[20:01] ---
    There's an expression that fits here.
[20:03] ---
    "He who doesn't work, doesn't eat."
[20:08] ---
    Huh...
[20:09] ---
    So this is your regular hangout, Sae?
[20:12] ---
    I wouldn't call her a regular.
[20:14] ---
    So what brings you here?
[20:16] ---
    No special reason. I like your coffee.
[20:23] ---
    Huh? Have we met before?
[20:27] ---
    I'm Goro Akechi.
[20:30] ---
    I like this place. It's got a good vibe.
[20:34] ---
    Akechi...
[20:39] ---
    When you think about it, a detective is
    an ambiguous, uncertain thing.
[20:43] ---
    Don't you agree?
[20:46] ---
    Taken alone, there's no guarantee
    a detective will be valuable to society.
[20:52] ---
    A couple of things are needed
    to be a detective.
[20:55] ---
    A tough case which only he can solve,
[20:59] ---
    and the existence of a worthy rival
    to make such a case.
[21:07] ---
    Sorry. Am I boring you?
[21:10] ---
    It is him.
[21:12] ---
    That popular detective kid...
[22:47] ---
    That's the Phantom Thieves for you!
[22:49] ---
    Someone in the comments
    has already thanked you!
[22:52] ---
    She says, "Thank you for
    changing the heart of my stalking ex."
[22:56] ---
    What does that have to do with me?
[22:58] ---
    Right, I know.
    It has nothing to do with you, right?
[23:02] ---
    We've got midterms today.
    Did you study?
[23:06] ---
    Mishima comes on strong, doesn't he?
[23:08] ---
    Is he a Phantom Thieves fan?
[23:11] ---
    More like a stalker to me.
[23:16] ---
    Actually, I feel like I'm being followed.
[23:19] ---
    What?! Could it be...
[23:22] ---
    That Akechi guy you two mentioned?
[23:27] ---
    He doesn't seem sharp enough
    to be a detective.
[23:32] ---
    Stay focused. You're living as
    Phantom Thieves and students.
[23:36] ---
    If your identities are uncovered,
    it's end of the line.
[23:53] ---
    You...
[23:58] ---
    Who are you?
