Synopsis:

Ren Amamiya's arrival at Shujin Academy marks a significant shift in his life. Sent to Tokyo after a wrongful probation, he quickly discovers a hidden world within the digital realm known as the Metaverse. This virtual space reflects the distorted desires of those in the real world, manifesting as "Shadows." Guided by a mysterious app that unlocks his latent power – a Persona – Ren joins a group of fellow students as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They operate outside the law, targeting the corrupt and influencing their hearts to encourage redemption.

The group's actions gain widespread attention, elevating them to both celebrated heroes and targets of suspicion. However, their ascent is abruptly halted when Ren is apprehended and subjected to intense questioning by prosecutor Sae Niijima. Her arrival offers a pivotal moment, forcing a confrontation with the consequences of their actions and the true nature of justice within the Metaverse. The series explores themes of societal corruption, personal responsibility, and the blurred lines between right and wrong as the Phantom Thieves face scrutiny and the potential unraveling of everything they’ve built.
