Persona 5 the Animation: The Day Breakers

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Do they really exist?

My station has conducted a poll on that subject.

What the hell's up with this cat?

Where'd it come from?

Oh crap, it's got a loud voice!

Hey, I don't like this. Open it up already, Makki.

Hey! Makki!

Uh...

"Escaping into violence, committing crime after crime - a thief" MR. KAZUYA MAKIGAMI

Phantom Thieves of Hearts? "Escaping into violence, committing crime after crime - a thief" MR. KAZUYA MAKIGAMI

Are you kidding me?

"THE DARK SIDE OF THE JAPANESE ART WORLD"

I'm telling you, it's a crappy world we live in. "THE DARK SIDE OF THE JAPANESE ART WORLD"

Not a decent case to be found!

Yeah, this city is crawling with criminals still at large.

But together, we can...

Let's go, everyone!

TV FUTURE FORTUNE

All right, time for our next segment!

Look who's joining us on the show today!

A detective who's also a high school student, Mr. Goro Akechi!

Hello.

I'm just going to come right out and ask you...

What do you think of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?

Well, if there really are thieves like them out there,

I believe they should be brought to justice in a court of law.

Twisting other people's hearts by force... that's the worst thing any human could do.

Hey, what's the hold-up, kid?

Uh, sorry, just one second, please...

Sorry! Silly me, losing my key...

What are you looking at? Open it up already!

Y-Yes, sir!

There you go. You can keep the change.

Thank you very much.

Totally dissing me!

I found something good!

I found something good! For real?!

I found something good! For real?! Which shop?

For real?! Which shop?

Yo, Boss!

How's it going? Huh?

Let's go have some fun!

Are you gonna be much longer, Makki?

Hold on. Just one second...

Now!

Hey, that's our company's business card.

"Shibukaku Security Company" Hey, that's our company's business card.

"Shibukaku Security Company" Oh, man...

If only they weren't too stingy to install our security system...

...then this never would've happened to them.

Uh... I think you guys should hurry it up...

All right! Get going! Hurry up!

Good job!

Mission accomplished!

Man, we make such an awesome team.

Me and Hashi-yan find shops with lax security on our computers at work...

...and this guy picks the locks! That's what you call perfection!

Y-You're talking kind of loud, you know...

We're BFF's forever! Yeah, sharing the same fate and all!

And if you ever turn on us...

No way, rat us out? This guy?

Well, it's guys like him that you gotta worry about.

MAKIGAMI

The "Ask-a-Thief" Channel?

If...

If only the others...

...would just disappear...

"POST"

Hey, you over there! Are you even listening?

In my own way.

"After school, let's meet up at our hideout!"

Hey, I saw it online. Pretty dangerous, huh?

Shibuya these days.

There's extortion, beatdowns...

A gang of crooks that rips off restaurants, even!

Gang of crooks? Sounds like bad news...

Yo!

Good work.

Got a second? There's something I want you to see.

It's this post on the Ask-a-Thief Channel...

I did look into it myself...

Seriously? "I'm gonna end up dead..."

Why doesn't this kid speak up?

Like there aren't tons of options, like going to the police?

- Hey, come on. Lower your voice! - Hey, my bad.

We need to take care of this before it's too late.

Morgana.

Gotcha. Time for me to step up, right?

Huh? Axed?

You serious? Both of you?

Totally serious.

The thing is, our security firm, see...

Well, you know. Thanks to that geezer of a painter everybody's raving about now...

Thanks to him, our company's toast.

If you're fired, we won't get any more leads for these easy gigs!

Seriously... Dammit!

This is so messed up! Why should I have to suffer collateral damage?

Well, but don't you worry.

I'm gonna find our next part-time gig, all right?

Hey, no need to go overboard or anything...

Hey, don't be shy! Just sit back and enjoy, Boss!

Part-time gig?

Hey!

Friends of yours?

Yeah.

Then I'll be on my way.

Right. See you later.

So? What now?

Let's do it.

Hey, you sure about this? Shouldn't we leave it to the cops?

We can just call in a tip and get them arrested...

True, that just might be the solution.

Only a temporary one, though.

Huh?

After they get out of prison, what if they just pick up where they left off?

If we're really going to save any victims...

...we'll have to straighten out our targets' hearts 100%.

Right. And that's something that....

...only the Phantom Thieves of Hearts can do.

That's our lead–

That's our leader! You're just the man I made you out to be! That's our lead–

That's our leader! You're just the man I made you out to be!

Huh? Morgana...

It's unanimous. That settles it.

Right! We're phantom thieves on the side of justice.

Why don't we show this gang of low-level crooks how overmatched they are?

- Shh! I told you, you're talking too loud! - Oh, hey, my bad, my bad!

Well, I think we should get some evidence first, just in case...

I've already thought of that.

The notorious Phantom Thieves of Hearts, the talk of the town nowadays.

Do they really exist?

My station has conducted a poll on that subject.

Oh, for God's sake!

I'm ready to throw in the towel!

They're actually harder to find than you'd think. Restaurants with lax security.

And by the way, you're not allowed to smoke here!

That's why I didn't light up, all right?

Still... That manager there's pretty careless.

I mean, that's like having a "Please rob us" sign up.

They say he's got a whole stash saved up.

Not only that, but he hates banks,

and I hear he leaves all his earnings in the shop!

Huh? Our gig's not in Shibuya?

Nobody said anything to me about that!

Maybe we got lucky, actually? You know, Shibuya's so...

You know, that dude Kaneshiro's group has been acting scary lately, so...

The timing was right.

Don't give me that!

Well, from now on, no more Shibuya for us!

It's Yoncha Time all the way!

Yay!

All right! Pardon me!

Leblanc? But it's such a shabby shop, any way you look at it! All right! Pardon me!

Leblanc? But it's such a shabby shop, any way you look at it!

What good would it do to target this place?

Hey! It's unlocked, guys!

See? Didn't we tell you?
