Medjed (メジエド) is a group of hackers. Medjed is a minor Ancient Egyptian deity who was depicted in the Book of the Dead. Not much is known about him and the main source of information is the Greenfield Papyrus. Medjed is depicted as a figure covered in large, bland cloth with only the eyes and legs visible; he is considered a "smiter" and his main feats consist of shooting forth light from his eyes, being invisible and that producing flames from his mouth. Parts of the Greenfield Papyrus were exhibited in Japan during the year of 2012 at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and the Fukuoka Museum of Art. After this Medjed became a sensation on Japanese social media and the god was fully embraced by the country's popular culture, starring in games and anime. Yongen-Jaya is one of first three traversable areas on the Tokyo map at the beginning of the game. It is the location of Sojiro Sakura's Café Leblanc, where the protagonist stays at for the duration of his time in Tokyo, as well as Sojiro's house, where he and Futaba Sakura reside. It's also the center of several shops, such as Tae Takemi's Takemi Medical Clinic, a supermarket, a second-hand shop and a sweet potato vendor, and several vending machines. It also encompasses several activities: a public bathhouse, laundromats, a batting center and a movie theater. Phantom Thieves of Hearts (心の怪盗団), also known simply as the Phantom Thieves (怪盗団), are a group of Persona users its related media. Sick of the deception, hypocrisy and corruption around them, the Phantom Thieves are devoted to "stealing" corrupt hearts, usually of adults in positions of power, in order to reform Japanese society. Al Azif is a Persona. EMMA is a popular concierge application and artificial intelligence in Persona 5 Strikers. It is created by Kuon Ichinose and developed by Madicce, and is famous for its chillingly accurate advice.

A Persona user (ペルソナ使い), also sometimes stylized as Persona-user, is a being, usually human, who has the supernatural ability to summon their Persona. After they obtain their Personas their physical and mental abilities increase to superhuman levels. Some Persona users can summon multiple Personas with the Wild Card. Medjed (メジエド) is a group of hackers. Medjed is a minor Ancient Egyptian deity who was depicted in the Book of the Dead. Not much is known about him and the main source of information is the Greenfield Papyrus. Medjed is depicted as a figure covered in large, bland cloth with only the eyes and legs visible; he is considered a "smiter" and his main feats consist of shooting forth light from his eyes, being invisible and that producing flames from his mouth. Parts of the Greenfield Papyrus were exhibited in Japan during the year of 2012 at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and the Fukuoka Museum of Art. After this Medjed became a sensation on Japanese social media and the god was fully embraced by the country's popular culture, starring in games and anime. The Metaverse (イセカイ, Isekai)? / (異世界, Isekai)? is the place where combat takes place. Much like Tartarus and the Midnight Channel, the Metaverse is formed from the collective unconscious, although unlike those respective areas, the areas in the Metaverse are personalized cognitive spaces based on areas in real-life Tokyo. While usually not directly affecting the real world, the Metaverse is known to have fused with it should its master wish to. For most, a Metaverse Navigator is required to traverse into any areas of the Metaverse, and anyone without a Persona will inevitably run into a life-threatening situation inside it.

A Persona (ペルソナ) is a manifestation of a Persona user's personality in the Persona series. It is referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship, because "persona" is Latin for "mask." A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained. If an individual takes up a resolution in their heart, the Persona will undergo a metamorphosis into a stronger form. While the summoning sequence of a Persona differs from one installment to the next, a tradition that later adaptations follow is that blue-ish fire is always released when a Persona is invoked.

A fight using Personas weighs on the user's mind and spirit. Continuous use of a Persona will eventually drain the user's strength and stamina. Using Persona skills requires "SP," or "Spirit Points." In the depths of human hearts, shared by all people, there is a domain where mythological archetypes dwell, and they grant an influence over an individual's personality development. Anecdotes of mythological divinities the world over probably exist because of that, so one could say that gods and demons exist not in Heaven and Hell but in the hearts of humanity. Personas even have an influence on physical and mental abilities, making their users superhumans, for example giving them mastery over weapons or resistance to terror and madness.

Shadows (シャドウ)/(影) are the primary type of enemy in the Persona series, sharing many characteristics with the demons common elsewhere in the Megami Tensei franchise. They are born from humans and composed of suppressed human emotions, usually negative ones. Strong-willed Shadows attract lesser ones, which can combine into stronger Shadows. Cognition (認知存在) is a concept in Persona 5 that is an important theme in the game, and can apply to people, locations and objects. Similar existences are hinted at earlier in the Persona series. Cognition refers to the concept of humans perceiving the world and viewing what they see as reality. When enough humans collectively perceive something that concept becomes "real," influencing both the world and themselves. This concept is strongly hinted to be related to previous situations seen in Persona games. It also refers to when a person is interpreted by other people or society, given form based on those perceptions. The apparent appearance may be identical, but the personality or the physical capabilities can be vastly different than the original. A cognition is not to be confused with a Shadow Self, though one's Shadow Self can also take on properties based on other people's interpretation of the person, and some cognitions such as Sphinx Wakaba and Doe take traits similar to their host's Shadow Selves. Furthermore, some cognitions can also be fused with Shadow Selves or are sometimes even Shadows themselves, such as the nobles in Shido's Palace or the carnivorous dinosaurs in Junessic Land.

Demons (悪魔) are entities serving as both enemies and potential allies, and a key feature of the Megami Tensei franchise. In the Japanese version of many games, demons allied with the player are called 仲魔, a pun on 仲間 and 魔 ma. In the Megami Tensei franchise, "demon" refers to any supernatural entity who can bring harm to humans, interfere with human lives, or violate natural laws in any way. As such this definition includes conventional malevolent demons, folktale creatures, deities, urban legends, and Judeo-Christian angels. Although fundamentally classified as demons, angels tend to differentiate themselves from demons, and likewise the rest of demons tend to (though not always) view them as separate. Angels also includes demons who have submitted to God's Covenant and become His servants. For that matter, even God Himself can be classified as a demon, depending on His origins and constitution in a given game. Biologically speaking, "demons" are entities who entirely consist of Magnetite (depending on the game, it might be called Aether, Magatsuhi, Solar Data, etc.). Magnetites are the most basic, fundamental substance which all things in reality are composed (i.e. physical matter and energy are clusters of Magnetites structured in a specific way, which result in matter and energy). "Demons" are what happens when a cluster of Magnetites are shaped and structured into a sentient spiritual phenomenon, rather than a physical structure which enables life (like humans and other organisms). This is why they violate natural laws of reality, and their Magic is in essence the capacity to rewrite reality in a way not unlike a computer program editing codes which govern a virtual sandbox. This is also why the rituals to summon a demon can be simplified into a program.

The process by which demons are born vary across the Megami Tensei Multiverse, especially between different Megami Tensei sub-series. Demons in certain set of universes might possess characteristics not present in others, due to various factors in their respective worlds of origin. Likewise, the Expanse, the realm where demons are born or generally reside in, may possess different traits from game to game. The demon's appearance, affinities, and moveset can sometimes differ between sub-series or in a specific game.

Shujin Academy, known in the Japanese version as Shujin High School (秀尽学園高校), is one of the main settings of Persona 5. It is an elite prep school located in the Aoyama-Itchome neighborhood in Tokyo. Treasures are recurring items in the Megami Tensei series. Leblanc Curry is a consumable item.

The Arcana (アルカナ) are the different classes of Tarot Cards. They are a major thematic element of the Persona series. The Arcana are divided into the Major Arcana (22 unique cards) and the Minor Arcana (four suits of 14 cards each, not unlike those of traditional playing cards). The Minor Arcana appear in rare events in the Persona 2 duology, only in Shuffle Time in Persona 3 and Persona 4 Golden, and not at all in Megami Ibunroku Persona, Persona 4 and Persona 5. "Arcana" is properly the plural form, the singular being "Arcanum," but in the Persona series "Arcana" is used for both singular and plural. Jails (ジェイル) are locations in Persona 5 Strikers. They are areas where combat takes place in the game. Phoenix Ranger Featherman R (不死鳥戦隊フェザーマンR) is a famous TV show in the universe of the Persona series. Futaba Sakura, during her introductory story arc, is in the process of being a shut-in following her trauma with her mother's death: more specifically, her being blamed for her mother's death warped her beliefs to the point of causing her to experience hallucinations. During the arc she enigmatically approaches the Phantom Thieves of Hearts for help. In relation to her issues, after looking inward, she finds the truth within her own memories, confronting her demons. After recovering her energy, she also learns to get used to the outside world.

The Necronomicon, whose original name is Al Azif, is a fictional grimoire, or tome of magic. It was first mentioned in the short story The Hound written by H. P. Lovecraft, but its exact origin is the subject of debate. The book subsequently also appeared in stories of Lovecraft's followers. The Necronomicon has since gained a cult following and various fake "replicas" of the book are circulating. Prometheus is a recurring demon in the series. Ongyo-ki is a demon in the series. Labyrinths (ラビリンス), (迷宮) are locations from the Q series. They are based on the dungeons from Etrian Odyssey.

Futaba Sakura is the Navigator of the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5. She is different from the main crew of the Phantom Thieves, as prior to Persona 5 Strikers, she was a shut-in who does not attend school and rarely, if ever, leaves her house. Futaba is the daughter of cognitive psientist Wakaba Isshiki; her father is unknown. Due to her high intelligence compared to other children around her, she was bullied often and barely had any friends other than a girl named Kana. However, Kana's parents were sexually harassing their daughter, and when Futaba discovered this, Kana left her as well. At some point, Futaba, under the codename "Medjed," began acting as a "hacker of justice," becoming well known. However, because she stayed anonymous, other hackers began using the name all over the world, eventually forming their own hacktivist group. Futaba saw that the group was getting out of hand, but found it too much trouble to expose its members. Instead, she simply changed her handle to "Alibaba" and stepped away from hacktivism. During the events of the game, the moniker that Futaba used was impersonated by an IT Company president to launch blank threats against the Phantom Thieves. While Futaba and her mother had a great relationship with each other, two years ago, when she was in middle school and the first Metaverse-related incident instigated by Yaldabaoth and Shido started, her mother, Wakaba Isshiki, suspiciously died in front of her because of a mental shutdown caused by Goro Akechi and ordered by Masayoshi Shido, resulting in Wakaba throwing herself in front of traffic. Her relatives, who have an eye on Wakaba's legacy, blamed the prodigy programmer for her death, based on a forged "suicide note," particularly after agents of the Conspiracy used it to manipulate Wakaba's family, hoping to keep her (alongside other cognitive psience researcher's) research for themselves.

Before her mother died, Futaba asked her to go on a family trip, at which Wakaba expressed her annoyance at Futaba bothering her for completing her research for the sake of her life, upsetting Futaba. It was thought to be the reason of Wakaba's death and that Futaba drove her into a corner, but in reality, Futaba's response was merely a tantrum, and Wakaba, although having scolded her for being selfish, promised her that she will bring her to anywhere she wants to go after she completes the research. The combination of the suspicious timing of her mother's "suicide" being after a family quarrel between the two, and the derogatory content of the forged suicide note, engineered the delusional belief that her mother hated her, which drove her to a complete breakdown. Following her mother's death, custody of Futaba was passed to several of her uncaring relatives, including her money grubbing uncle, Youji Isshiki, who refused to even treat her as a person, not even allowing her to bathe or feed her food or have a proper bed. Futaba did not know that her mother died of a mental shutdown due to the secrecy of the method and her inability to identify it, and Shido quickly forgot about Wakaba after he killed her. The incident led Futaba to develop guilt, psychological trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, extreme social anxiety and hallucinations. The hallucinations are often of Wakaba's face overlaid on other people (or Wakaba herself) looking disappointed in her. She has not attended school ever since graduating middle school: by her age, she should have been a first year student in high school. Wakaba's close friend Sojiro Sakura has adopted Futaba, paying her uncle the better part of Futaba's inheritance to leave her alone. {{user}}

During her isolation, she tried to use her substantial hacking skills to learn about her mother's research and how it relates to her death only to find all of the information related to it had disappeared completely, and she shut herself in so tight at Sojiro's house that nobody around Yongen-Jaya had heard of her before, even from stores where Sojiro frequents. By the time of the game, her depression has worsened into outright suicidal impulses and a refusal to meet anyone, including Sojiro, as well as a delusional subconscious belief that her death would bring Wakaba back to life. Sojiro even tried to call a doctor to no avail, since she refused to come out of her locked room. The sheer magnitude of her negative emotions was drastic enough she managed to generate a Palace, despite not being a criminal with a heavy desire for controlling other's lives unlike the majority of targets. Due to her heart being distorted, she does not properly recall any of the events that ruined her life, as the memories are concealed in several murals in her Palace. Shortly after Junya Kaneshiro's fall, the Phantom Thieves are being confronted by a hacker group named "Medjed," who threatens to unleash a "Cleanse" against the Phantom Thieves and all of its supporters. In reality, this is an impersonator and the "Cleanse" is actually a blank threat issued by the CEO of an IT company affiliated with Masayoshi Shido. Futaba finds out that the protagonist and his friends are the Phantom Thieves by listening to their conversation in Café Leblanc through the bug she placed there. Knowing her own impulses and realizing she has to stop, Futaba sends a message to the protagonist under the alias Alibaba, asking him to steal her heart in exchange for helping them deal with Medjed, who are declaring war against the Phantom Thieves. However, when the protagonist presses for more information, Futaba realizes that in order to steal her heart, they need to know more about her.

The Demiurge, also known as Yaldabaoth, is a recurring demon in the series. A mental shutdown (廃人化) is a major plot element. The Antisocial Force (反社会的組織はんしゃかいてきそしき) (Conspiracy) is the primary antagonistic force in Persona 5. It refers to a criminal political coalition led by Masayoshi Shido that secretly controls Tokyo and is attempting to replace Japan's current government with their own, turning the country into a totalitarian dictatorship. Initially, there was no official term referring to this organization. It was first referred to as the "Antisocial Force" by Miyako Kaburagi during the epilogue of the Japanese version.

This causes her to panic and hastily attempts to cancel her request for the first time. However, for the second time, "Alibaba" claims that if the protagonist does not change her heart before the Medjed "Cleanse," she will expose all identities of the Phantom Thieves and their supporters, which will most certainly lead to their arrest. Again, she then hastily attempts to cancel the request for the same reasons as the first time. This aroused heavy suspicions around the Phantom Thieves due to the heavily threatening and anonymous nature of the "Alibaba" deal. When problems with Medjed start to get worse, the desperate Phantom Thieves conclude they require her hacking skills to put an end to the situation. After piecing together the facts, Makoto Niijima deduces that Alibaba is in fact Futaba herself. When visiting Sojiro's house, they find out she also lives there so they directly ask her about herself to get the keyword into the Palace. They sneak into Sojiro's house at night trying to find her. The household was pitch black and seemingly empty, until lightning broke out and Futaba could be heard screaming, greatly alerting Makoto. This alerts Futaba that people are barging into her house, and she comes out to check only to see a terrified Makoto clinging onto the protagonist's leg. Both are terrified of each other, and Futaba flees into her room instantly due to her extreme agoraphobia. Sojiro then returns to his house to see the party's mess. Despite initially being bewildered because the party deliberately barged into his home and the party terrified in fear of reprisal, he consented to their presence and brought the party back to Leblanc and explained the situation to them. When the party sneaks into Sojiro's home the next day, they do not force her to come out and allow her to communicate through chat.

She told the protagonist that she wanted to die, shutting herself in her room, then inputs the keyword "Tomb" by accident into the protagonist's navigator, transporting the party into her Palace: a vast desert with the pyramid, her "tomb" itself, being a drive away. However, exploration of the pyramid was halted when Futaba's heart started to instinctively reject them, causing Shadow Futaba to appear and drop a boulder on them, forcing escape. Her sin is Wrath, which turns her Palace into a giant pyramid filled with numerous traps such as quicksand pits and boulders and contains several murals which represent her self guilt over "causing her mother's death." Due to her proficiency with technology, the pyramid's interior appears with integrated electronics, and mirroring her shut-in lifestyle, the desert that acts as the outskirts of the Palace is extremely hot while it is much cooler inside the pyramid. Since she does not see anyone other than her mother Wakaba in a distorted way and she outright refuses to even meet people, the only cognitive existence in the Palace is the massive, spiteful sphinx that takes her form, which represents Futaba's guilt over her death, and it fights with Shadow Futaba for control of her own mind. While the Phantom Thieves are having trouble with the sphinx, she notices the appearance of the Metaverse Navigator application on her own phone, and wonders if she can enter her own palace. She does so, encountering her Shadow and becoming her own Treasure in the process. She is forced to face her own fear as her Shadow urges her to remember her mother's death. Recalling that her mother's death was unnatural and realizing she had been deluding herself, Futaba awakens her Persona power and helps the party defeat the cognitive existence of her mother that she created, who wishes she was never born. After the battle, the image of the true, benevolent Wakaba appears before Futaba, and confesses her love for her daughter before disappearing.

After the battle at her own Palace, Futaba holds her end of the bargain, hacking into Medjed's website to stop them from further bothering the Phantom Thieves. This does no damage to Medjed however, and is merely a part of the Conspiracy's plan, due to Medjed itself being an impersonator and the actual Medjed is Futaba herself. If the protagonist cannot complete her Palace in time, the police come to arrest the protagonist with charges of extortion and suspicion of being a member of the Phantom Thieves, with Sojiro also being arrested for harboring a criminal, implying to be Futaba actually blackmailing them. This scenario is a false recollection made by the protagonist during Sae Niijima's interrogation, due to his mind being addled by drugs forcibly administered to him by the police. Futaba is also already reformed during the interrogation, further indicating that what happens is obviously a false recollection. Sae proceeds to leave the room to give the protagonist time to recover, at which point an assassin takes the opportunity to kill him. After the Phantom Thieves change her heart, she finally comes out from her shell, starts to go outside by regularly visiting Café Leblanc, interacting with the protagonist and his friends and eventually joining the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to find the culprit truly responsible for her mother's death. She reveals she created the original Medjed identity and later gave her hacking scripts to a group of friends, but when counter-hacking the hostile Medjed she realizes that they do not use her distinct programs. From there, she deduces that someone else must have stolen their name. In addition, she reveals to the team the suspicious way that her mother's condition degenerated before she died, and that her physical notes were the only research that hadn't been destroyed and are possibly the only way to find the ones who forged the note that ruined her life.

Shadow Futaba is a character in Persona 5. She is the ruler of Futaba's Palace and Futaba Sakura's Shadow Self. Shadow Futaba looks exactly like her real self but her eyes are golden like other Shadow Selves and much like her Palace as an Egyptian pyramid suggests, she wears clothes in the style of Egyptian fashion as a combination of Cleopatra and a Pharaoh, consisting of an outfit including a sleeveless top made of wraps that also covers her neck and exposes her midriff and a white floor-length skirt along with wraps that connect to her bracelets and upper armpieces, and a golden headpiece that has a snake in the front and bares the top of her head along with red jewels. Shadow Futaba is Futaba Sakura's repressed feelings and the ruler of Futaba's Palace. Unlike most Shadow Selves, she is born partially from positive emotions (Futaba's love for her mother, suspicion she was murdered, and will to live), and as a result she is not hostile to the original Futaba, instead trying to stop the Sphinx from driving her to suicide by telling her the truth of her mother's death. Shadow Futaba is initially hostile to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, angrily asking why they invaded her Palace, being infuriatingly cryptic with advice, and triggering the occasional trap, under the belief that stealing Futaba's Treasure will only hurt her even more. When she realizes the Thieves were hired to help save Futaba from herself, she becomes much more friendly and assists them by confronting herself while the Thieves distracted the Sphinx. When Futaba regains her will to live, she accepts her Shadow and Shadow Futaba is willingly transformed into her Persona Necronomicon.

Futaba's Palace, also known as the Pyramid of Wrath, is a location in Persona 5. It is the Palace of Futaba Sakura. This Metaverse Palace was created by Futaba Sakura. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts are asked by Futaba to steal her heart, in return for her assistance with stopping Medjed. Unlike the previous iterations, this Palace did not form from evil desires, but from Futaba's distorted and self-destructive viewpoint, primarily her paranoia over her deceased mother and belief that her home would be her "tomb." It appears as a large pyramid surrounded by a hot and arid desert, with the city and civilization in the far distance. The interior is cooler thanks to Futaba's cognition of indoor air-conditioning. The pyramid is contradictory in nature, ancient yet filled with Futaba's beloved technology. Instead of hieroglyphs, modern symbols and characters can be seen on the walls, including binary or @ signs; the entrance is covered in mojibake, while boulders within the dungeon have kaomoji on them. This Palace is guarded by Shadows resembling mummies. Murals that depict Futaba's past also appear throughout the Palace, sealing those memories away until she is forced to confront them. Futaba does not initially think of the Phantom Thieves as a threat, however, this does not last as she loses control and begins to experience auditory hallucinations, instinctively pushing them away. Shadow Futaba has been fighting for the control of Futaba's mind with the Sphinx, the cognitive form of Futaba's deceased mother Wakaba Isshiki. The Sphinx is the embodiment of Futaba's self-loathing and belief that her mother hated her, and is the sole true cognitive being present in the Palace to represent Futaba's loneliness. The difficulties traversing the Palace caused by Futaba's horrendous mental state only serve to strengthen the Thieves' determination to save her.

The party manages to reach the topmost floor of the pyramid and Shadow Futaba instructs them to send a calling card to the real Futaba. Unlike previous palaces, the Phantom Thieves deliver the calling card directly to Futaba and immediately enter the palace in the same day. Reaching the now unblocked summit of the pyramid, they confront the Sphinx that acts as the cognitive existence of Wakaba. While it seemed too mobile for them to target at first, Futaba enters the Palace and turns into its treasure, while Shadow Futaba transforms into Necronomicon and becomes her Persona, allowing her to create a ballista that allows the party to shoot the Sphinx down and attack it. The Sphinx is killed and the Palace collapses, with all party members and Futaba escaping safely. Futaba gets exhausted afterwards and goes to sleep, and Tae Takemi is called to check her. She states that Futaba's physical health is dangerously low, and Sojiro states that due to this, Futaba is prone to sleeping for days and it is a normal reaction for her; with her poor physical fitness, the strain of awakening a Persona was simply too much. When she wakes up, her distortions are cleared and she easily puts a stop to Medjed's hacking attack. She joins the Phantom Thieves as combat support, making her path to full rehabilitation.

After the death of Kunikazu Okumura, while cleaning Futaba's room, Sojiro accidentally finds the Phantom Thieves' calling card for Futaba that she keeps as a memento. He questions the protagonist and Futaba about this, giving them no choice but to explain what truly happened to Futaba's mother. Sojiro only thought that the protagonist had some kind of connection to the Phantom Thieves and got Futaba involved, but Futaba's slip makes him realize that the protagonist is in fact the ringleader of the Phantom Thieves himself. Sojiro then reveals the truth about his past, and how he had realized that the Thieves' methods have some similarity with details of Wakaba's research. Hearing Futaba's wish of wanting to find her mother's killer, Sojiro immediately rejects the idea. However, after seeing how determined both Futaba and the protagonist are, Sojiro promises to keep their secret and allows them to continue their activities under the condition that they should stop if it gets too dangerous. The Phantom Thieves later find out that the ruining of Futaba's life was orchestrated by Masayoshi Shido, who ordered an assassination on her mother to protect his reputation from being damaged by her research that could otherwise expose his crimes, then forged a suicide note and told his men to read it aloud to her in an unnecessary act of cruelty. While infiltrating Shido's Palace and obtaining letter of introductions from his patrons, Futaba tackles an IT Company President by trying to chat him up with IT due to their shared interests. When she discovers that he's faked Medjed just to set up the Phantom Thieves' public downfall, she declared that they're not equals, as he only abused the internet to exploit the weak, thinking it's innovative. This causes her to be unable to negotiate for a letter of introduction, however, forcing the group to help and fight his Shadow.

When the thieves finally secured the route to his Treasure, Futaba hijacks the broadcasting system of Japan to broadcast a message against him nationwide, which alerts him and causes his Treasure to take form. Futaba's Confidant is automatically unlocked on August 31st. However, advancing it past the first rank requires the protagonist to have rank 4 Kindness (Selfless). Maxing this Confidant makes Necronomicon evolve into Prometheus and unlocks the fusion of Ongyo-Ki. Her story progression revolves around her exposure to the outside world, as years of social isolation has left her completely maladjusted, and fulfilling a list of things which her mother made her do to help boost her social skills. Progressing the Confidant will unlock additional support abilities for Futaba to aid the party with in-battle through her Persona. As she slowly rehabilitates with the protagonist, her journey leads her to reveal that even in her youth she has been bullied for her intelligence and only had one friend named Kana who was the only one to actually try to talk with her. However, one day she uncovered that her best friend's parents were abusing her (the implication is of sexual abuse, as Kana wrote in her diary of being forced to wear strange costumes and have photos taken). Although Kana stopped talking to Futaba after she discovered her secret, Futaba lied to her mother that they were still getting along. To soothe her guilt, she tracks down Kana and discovers that the abuse has not stopped. Futaba was then entrusted with the task of stealing her parent's hearts so she can live a normal life again. After Kana and Futaba reconnect, they rebuild their friendship, and both girls resolve to attend school again. She is touched by the protagonist's kindness towards her and confesses to developing a crush on him; at that point, the protagonist can choose to start a romantic relationship with her or not.

Eight days after Yaldabaoth's fall, Futaba is seen celebrating the New Year with Wakaba on January 2, with Wakaba shown to be alive and well. This was revealed to be an alternate reality created by Takuto Maruki, who rewrote history so her assassination never happened, out of Futaba's desire for her mother to still be with her, and to have a complete family. Akechi still remembers murdering her, however, due to his special circumstances. Futaba then can be found at Akihabara, exploring with Sojiro and Wakaba when the protagonist goes to check on her. Once Futaba denies Maruki's reality, Wakaba is never heard from again. Despite not being present in the party during these days due to living happily in Maruki's reality, her Treasure Reboot Confidant skill still has a chance to occur during the investigations on January 2 and January 9. This is likely due to an oversight. If the protagonist maxes her Confidant, Futaba will call him over for a talk in her room. However, when inside the room, she wears the mask that she used to only wear when she was still learning to talk to people. She then takes off the mask and regrets having her selfish desires of seeing mom once again betray the protagonist's trust, even believing how he would be most definitely angry right now even after his reassurance. She then asks him if Maruki's reality is an illusion, in which he answers that it isn't in a sense. While she was grateful that she would see her mother once again and she could spend more time with her, even for a fleeting moment, she accepts the truth that she will never meet her again and Maruki's reality is not to be relied on. She tells the protagonist that she will move on from her grief so her mother will be proud. Realizing this, she tells the protagonist what she believes that her mother wished for her to become, causing Prometheus and Necronomicon evolve into Al Azif.

Should the protagonist allow Maruki to completely overwrite reality, Futaba would begin to go to school at Shujin Academy. She then will be seen enjoying life with Wakaba and Sojiro in the credits, their family complete like it was never able to be. A few weeks after the Phantom Thieves defeated Maruki and restored their original reality, Futaba revealed to the group in Leblanc (at Sojiro's urging) that she passed her entrance exams for high school and plans to continue her education into college to pick up on researching cognitive psience in her mother's footsteps, inspired by the events within Maruki's reality. Everyone acknowledges that they'll remain connected with each other as they separate and move forward on their own paths towards their own future. Some time after the group helped the protagonist evade tailing government officials (with the assistance of the reformed Maruki who now works as a taxi driver), Futaba continued to stay over at Sojiro's house and would write a letter for the protagonist in her room during the credits. Futaba is now fully rehabilitated and has enrolled in Shujin Academy as a second year student. Four months after the protagonist and Morgana's departure, the former Phantom Thieves decide to reunite and go on a camping trip during summer vacation. While discussing preparation, Futaba suggests that they use a recently popular mobile app called EMMA, which can give them recommendations of equipment for their camping trip. However, the group learns of a new Metaverse-related threat where the EMMA application can be used by specific people to Change the Hearts of people via Jails, making them obsessive towards their ruler, known as Monarchs, which can lead to the point of property loss and violent incidents. They once again reestablish the Phantom Thieves of Heart to change the heart of the Monarch of the Shibuya Jail, Alice Hiiragi.

While investigating Alice, the gang is approached by a police officer named Zenkichi Hasegawa, who reveals that they are the prime suspects of the recent-most change of heart incident against the TV host a day ago, even if Alice was the true instigator. He offers to clear their name in exchange for their cooperation in solving the cases. Not wanting to accept the offer, the group is determined to clear their own name by changing Alice's heart. Like she did with Shido, Futaba hijacks the TV stream to send a calling card to Alice, allowing the group to fight her and get her back to her senses. Unfortunately, their plan backfires as the police instead become convinced that the Phantom Thieves are involved in the recent cases, and only now the Thieves knew that this was a Japan-wide incident. Futaba searches through the incidents that Zenkichi mentioned and discovers that he has been telling the truth. With no other option, they reluctantly accept his offer to investigate the incidents, although hand-to-hand with their trip. During their trip at Kyoto, Futaba and her friends became acquainted with Zenkichi's daughter, Akane Hasegawa. Futaba is able to relate with Akane's feelings, having lost her mother. When the Phantom Thieves are framed for hacking into EMMA and murdering the Monarch of the Okinawa Jail, they discover another Jail in Kyoto and enter it accidentally upon realizing Akane was captured. In reality, they are all unknowingly being lured into a trap set up by Akira Konoe under EMMA's proposal; when they found Akane, she was revealed to be not of her real person, but her Shadow Self, whom has became the Monarch of Kyoto by accidentally consulting EMMA to "save her," with the real Akane being rendered comatose in her room. Shadow Akane captured the Phantom Thieves, but Futaba, who tripped while trying to catch up, ended up avoiding capture.

Unable to fight, Futaba is forced to retreat and meet Zenkichi at their hideout. Having no one else to turn to, Futaba pleads with Zenkichi to help her friends and Akane. She navigates Zenkichi during their infiltration until they reach the cage where the Phantom Thieves are being held captive, with Shadow Akane keeping an eye on them. Once Zenkichi awakened his Persona and defeated all the shadows Akane summoned, Futaba freed the rest of the Phantom Thieves. Futaba appears in the fifteenth episode of the anime, where like before she contacts the Phantom Thieves under her alias of Alibaba to have her own heart stolen. Unlike the game version where Futaba merely threatens Ren with an SNS deal at class, she hijacks the phones of all other students in Ren's class by causing them to make noises. The Phantom Thieves were able to deduce her identity through the wording of Alibaba's texts and Sae's visit to LeBlanc to threaten Sojiro. Futaba herself makes a physical appearance at the end of the episode. As she and Makoto scream, Sojiro appears, where he finally comes clean about his relationship with Futaba. Like in the game, the Thieves agree to steal Futaba's heart in order to stop the group Medjed. While in her palace, it is shown that Futaba's mental state partially transfers over to Shadow Futaba, showing the shadow self in agony as the voices of Futaba's relatives in the tomb. Futaba hacks into Fuuka Yamagishi's laptop, and befriends her using her screen name "Alibaba." Futaba informs her of new found love of dancing, alongside the other members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, though due to the fact that their memories are erased upon completion of the ball, neither retain the memories of these interactions. Fuuka's screen name was "Lucia." Futaba is the party's default navigator. She uses the Persona Necronomicon. She acts as navigator alongside Rise Kujikawa and Fuuka Yamagishi.

Shibuya Jail, also known as the Cage of Lust or Wonderland, is a location in Persona 5 Strikers. It is the Jail of Shibuya, with Alice Hiiragi as its Monarch. A Calling Card (予告状) is an important element in Persona 5 and some of its related media. Okinawa Jail, also known as the Cage of Desolation, is a location in Persona 5 Strikers. It is the Jail of Okinawa with Shuzo Ubukata as its Monarch, though he is deceased by the time the Phantom Thieves arrive to investigate. A.I.G.I.S. is the third Labyrinth in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.

As Hikari bears striking similarities to her old self, she is one of the party members that genuinely cares for her, often attempting to talk to her despite the fact that she often shuts down when being talked to. When the party is preparing to weaken Kamoshidaman, Futaba spends her time talking to Hikari. During the 3rd labyrinth A.I.G.I.S, she acts as Ribbon's caretaker due to her pro-efficiency with technology. She was capable of undoing the Overseer's immobilization of Ribbon just by flipping a switch and was able to remove the seal that prevented her from activating Orgia Mode, allowing her to overthrow the Mother Computer with the help of the party. After the fight against the omnipotent AI, she was capable of repairing her completely from orgia mode overload with the help of Aigis. Futaba enjoys tricking Aigis into behaving in inappropriate or informal manners, as Aigis is extremely suggestible and oblivious to it, to the point that she manages to carry Futaba's mannerisms into reality at the epilogue. Futaba appears as a playable character in this game where she is a limited (and collaboration) character added in Version 2.4. She’s an Elucidator type character who gives attack buffs to allies and implants weaknesses on enemies. She also appeared in various side quest like last part of Valentines' Day story events where he and other Phantom Thieves' are enjoying their chocolate cakes with Wonder and appears as side character during CrossFate chapters of Persona 5 where she met with Wonder and his fellow Phantom Thieves' friends at many unknown Palaces that resembles their own major targets' Palace.

Futaba is a teenage girl with straight hip-length black hair dyed bright orange, with straight-cut bangs and two long strands in the front along with a single small, thin strand at the top. Her brown eyes also seem to have some faint purple tones in them, appearing mauve. She wears large black circular glasses, and is almost always seen wearing a set of AKG K845BT headphones with red ear cushions. She seems to be very short, even compared to other girls. Her casual winter outfit consists of multiple layers; she wears an off-shoulder white top with a red splatter-like pattern on her chest with five white asterisks (*****) which are reminiscent of a password input system in the red splatter, a black tank top underneath, a dark green jacket with a faux fur trimmed hood, black short shorts, a studded black belt in a slanted position, black thigh high socks and black knee-high boots with buckles and studs at the top. The green jacket has A.F.K. on the back (for "Away From Keyboard"), although it is difficult to see because of Futaba's long hair. Her casual summer outfit consists of a black tank top with a Tetris image in front, with a green tank top underneath. She wears gray baggy pants with black laces on the bottom and green sneakers. She also has a white hip pack that forms a monstrous face with the zipper as the mouth and green eyes. Her nightwear outfit consists of a black shirt with "JLMK!" (presumably "Just Let Me Know") over a white-and-black striped long sleeve shirt and short black shorts with a light green trim. During Christmas she wears a reindeer themed crop hoodie with white trim and matching shorts. During the Third Semester in Royal, Futaba now wears a neon green oversized hoodie with a pixelated purple alien creature on the front with the text "Mars Crusher" under it, and the number "23" printed on the left sleeve.

She wears a black denim skirt underneath, black tights, two loose blue studded belts hanging off her hips and short calf-length black leather boots. For colder weather, she also wears a black knitted hat with a pom pom on top. Her Metaverse costume consists of a skintight black bodysuit with fluorescent neon green glowing stripes and matching black boots with neon green soles. Her mask is a pair of big black goggles with red and inner orange lenses. This outfit was inspired by sci-fi movies like Tron. In Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, she wears an outfit similar to her main one. Her outfit consists of a white tank top with what appears to be a red shirt underneath along with a black strapless bra, a black studded necklace, black short shorts, ripped black thigh high stockings, a green sweat jacket with black cuffs and dark gray hightops. She retains the studded black belt. In Persona 5 Strikers, her outfit consists of a neon yellow T-shirt with a purple pixelated heart on it under an olive-colored overcoat with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, black denim shorts, and sky blue sneakers with orange laces. She also wears a black cap and blue headphones when outside. While at the festivals, she wears a dark green yukata with a flower pattern and an orange sash with a purple line in the middle. During the day off on the Okinawa beach, she wears a white bikini top with blue stars and red trim, red short trunks with white star patterns, and matching sandals.

With a case of social anxiety bordering on agoraphobia developed from the trauma of losing her mother Wakaba Isshiki, combined with her generally introverted personality, Futaba is strongly uncomfortable with going outside. When the protagonist first meets her, she is a shut-in who does not attend school and almost never leaves her room. She communicates with the world remotely via the Internet, and her adoptive father Sojiro Sakura enables her lifestyle out of guilt that he could not protect her from trauma. Having disconnected herself from humanity and the world beyond her apartment, Futaba suffers from suicidal depression, crippling bouts of anxiety and would freak out instantly when seeing unknown people inside Sojiro's house. When first encountered, Futaba is so consumed with self-loathing that she suppresses her desire to live, causing her Shadow Self to develop a much more helpful personality than average, one who only desires Futaba's happiness. Prior to her Change of Heart, she thinks that her room is the only place she actually feels safe to dwell within due to the frequent hallucinations she has about Wakaba bearing hatred on her.

Futaba suffers from suicidal depression, crippling bouts of anxiety and would freak out instantly when seeing unknown people inside Sojiro's house. When first encountered, Futaba is so consumed with self-loathing that she suppresses her desire to live, causing her Shadow Self to develop a much more helpful personality than average, one who only desires Futaba's happiness. Prior to her Change of Heart, she thinks that her room is the only place she actually feels safe to dwell within due to the frequent hallucinations she has about Wakaba bearing hatred on her. Even before her mother's death, Futaba was quite a lonely child growing up. Part of this was due to her isolation for being a genius, with other students thinking she was a freak due to her eidetic memory (things she's reminded of when she's given a tour of Shujin), while the other part was due to her mother working long hours to support her, meaning the two hardly ever got to spend time together. It got to the point where Futaba would sometimes think her mother cared more about her research than she did about her, an insecurity that only worsened when her mother died and she was read the fake suicide note. Because of her desire for her mother to be alive again, and the belief that she deserves to die, Futaba ended up creating a Palace where her mother wants her dead. With the help of the Phantom Thieves, however, she realizes that the suicide note was forged and manages to remember the real Wakaba. Futaba is also very fond of sushi and Sojiro's curry, both of which were meals she shared with her mother. When she first joins the Phantom Thieves, Futaba states that her main goal is to find out the truth behind her mother's death, but also gains a growing investment in the group's goal of reforming society.

After her heart is changed and she begins to actively go out, Futaba still initially tends to hide behind the protagonist so that she won't be seen in public, or wears masks which make it impossible to identify her. Even during Strikers the anxiety issues do not completely go away, as, if the protagonist talks to her while investigating Alice Hiiragi in Shibuya, she will say that the heat and crowds of people during summer still makes her uncomfortable. Futaba begins to change after meeting the protagonist and the other Phantom Thieves, as she begins to practice opening up and challenging her own boundaries. Beneath her anxiety, Futaba has a childish side and enjoys teasing her friends, particularly Ryuji Sakamoto, Yusuke Kitagawa and Morgana, and occasionally Makoto Niijima and Sojiro Sakura as well. She often pokes fun at Yusuke by calling him "Inari," a word which means fox, but can mean tofu curd sushi due to tofu being offered near Inari Shrines. This forms a pun which implies that Yusuke is a degenerate. Futaba's social ineptness often causes her to be very blunt, to the point that she seems to have no concept of tactfulness; she will often make notes about the thieves behaviors as if she is studying them, and she shows no qualms over commenting on/reacting to the other girls' phantom thief suits or the size of Ann Takamaki's breasts. In addition, she addresses Sojiro by his given name instead of "Dad," which is considered very impolite in Japan, even in the case of adoptive paternal figures. Sojiro refers to himself as her father, and while he never insists on her calling him "Dad," he becomes very pleased when she occasionally begins to. Despite her social ineptness and anxiety, Futaba has little problem talking to people as long as the subject interests her. When Makoto is originally attempting to help Futaba open up, she has little success bringing up mundane topics like food and the weather (the latter meaning nothing to former shut-in Futaba).

However, once Yusuke starts rearranging her Featherman figures, Futaba begins passionately arguing with him, which soon turns into an actual discussion, allowing Makoto to deduce that she's simply not interested in mundane topics. Futaba is a prolific hacker. As the original Medjed, her skills were of worldwide fame, even if her own identity remained anonymous. Sometimes she is shown to use this without regard for privacy or consequences, such as her bugging of Leblanc to keep an eye on Sojiro, bugging the protagonist's phone camera so she can keep an eye on them during their trip to Hawaii, and finding out her Uncle's financial history (which Sojiro had to point out was obviously illegally obtained, meaning they couldn't make use of it without getting in serious trouble). Makoto even mentions before the Hawaii trip that she's glad Futaba is on their side, recognizing she'd make a fearsome enemy. As a former shut-in, Futaba appears to be the least physically fit member of the Phantom Thieves, to the point that she may end up sleeping for days at a time (something that happens often enough that Sojiro is unconcerned). She is also shown to be heavily reliant on the internet as she doesn't see the point in going shopping since you can buy anything online and even claims that she can use it as a substitute for going to school. Futaba loves computers (if the protagonist claims he built his own PC, she asks for details on the GPU, CPU, RAM, etc.), often plays video games, is into sci-fi (as shown by her Phantom Thief suit and her Persona being a UFO), and is a big fan of the show Phoenix Ranger Featherman R (as evidenced by her posters and figurine collection).

...I don't want to run away from this. I ran from my mom's death for so long... I misunderstood it... Everything was just too painful for me to handle. But... I never want to be left in the dark again! ...That's probably why my Persona is a little bit special. Because I want to learn the truth. That's how I really feel! Well, I've come this far... I'll follow you wherever you go, on my own two feet! Risking our lives to stop rotten adults... That's why we're Phantom Thieves! No! She scolded me whenever I had tantrums, but she cared for me! A total lie! It's because I couldn't face myself, or Mom's death... Even then, why did they have to yell at me like that!? I guess my fears turned out to be true... The real world is a scary place... Pain like this can never reach you if you keep yourself cooped up indoors... Who am I to think I can tell the people what to do? I mean, I used to be a shut in myself... Dammit... I just wanna go home... ...But even that would be tough now. Giving up would be too painful. You know, I think... I've changed. I don't know when it happened... But I can't... I can't let people suffer like this, even if I don't know them personally. We were impressed with the intel-gathering skills of the Phantom Thieves as well. We also know that this would've been impossible unless you had a skilled hacker... ...Who was doing this!? "No! She scolded me whenever I had tantrums, but she cared for me! A total lie! It's because I couldn't face myself, or Mom's death... Even then, why did they have to yell at me like that!?" (realizing her mom didn't commit suicide) "I won't let those distorted lies deceive me anymore... And I won't be led astray by other's voices either... I'm going to trust my own eyes and my own heart to distinguish the truth from the lies. There's no way you're my mom! You're just a fake created by those horrid adults! I'll... I'll never... I'll never forgive them!"

"Risking our lives to stop rotten adults... That's why we're Phantom Thieves!" "I guess my fears turned out to be true... The real world is a scary place... Pain like this can never reach you if you keep yourself cooped up indoors... Who am I to think I can tell the people what to do? I mean, I used to be a shut in myself...

I can't let people suffer like this, even if I don't know them personally." I know it's kinda weird to ask... but having a reward waiting at the finish line will totally push me onward...!" "Welp, ain't no time like the present! Come on, let's go!" "...I don't wanna be talented if it's gonna creep people out." "Youth... The unknown frontier..." "I hate being such a coward... But I think I might be able to face my fears now that I'm a promising-settling Phantom Thief!" "Life doesn't feel the same when you're not with me." "Is this feeling... "love"? I've always heard it's the most intense joy in the world..." "My whole world is expanding. Every day brings new and different discoveries. The direction of Sojiro's cowlick, the atmosphere of Yongen, the various types of coffee beans... Things might be the exact same as they were yesterday, but from my perspective, it's all spinning."

"I just hope I can change little by little...like everyone else does." "You gave me something really important. You gave me my life back. It's thanks to you that I learned I'm fine just as I am... and that I learned to trust my mom again. I was as good as dead, but you resurrected me." "If I only act for my own's sake, I can't put all my full effort into it anymore. But when I remember my friends... and you... it's like I'm tapping into some kind of unknown power!" "You gave me my life back, so it's my turn to risk my life for you." "Support's on the way!" "I'll do something about this!" "Go! Power up!" "This one! Defense up!" "Here I go! Speed up!" "Here come the buffs!" "Super move! Ultra Charge!" "Look out!" "Nooo!" "I won't let you!" "Surprise attack: successful! Now just don't lose!" "Everyone, are you OK? Focus on healing up!" "Joker, you missed!?" "Joker, are you alright!?" "Joker's burning! That's going to keep hurting!" "Joker's been brainwashed! He can't tell friend from foe!" "Joker's hungry! He's powered down!" "Joker got knocked down!" "No... Hey, wake up! Please!" "Joker!? No... Answer me!" "No... Hey, Joker?! Joker! You have to wake up!" "Joker, why!? This isn't happening..." "No, get up! Joker! Jokerrrrrrrrr! "Get up! It's not over yet! Jokerrrrr!" "No, Joker... You can't lose to this guy..." "You're joking, right? We've come so far... Please, get up!" "No... You can't die... JOKEEERRR!!!! "Joker, no! Don't give up!" "One enemy on the floor! Bonafide Mona fied!" "Mona! AIM!" "Mona's down! Ooohh, not good!" "Mona got knocked out! Someone give him some support!" "Skull, you sure showed me!" "Skull fell down! Hang in there!" "Skull's out! Someone help him!" "Skull, what are you doing!?" "Panther's on the ground! Are you OK?" "Panther's down! She needs treatment!"

"And Panther dodges with grace!" "Queen's on the ground! You can't fail now!" (When Makoto's weakness is exploited or is struck by a critical hit) "Queen's in trouble! It looks bad!" (Makoto's HP is below 25%) "Queen's been taken out! You gotta cover for her!" (When Makoto is incapacitated) "All right, Queen!" (When Makoto's evades an enemy's attack) "Crow, you gotta watch them!" (When Akechi's attack or skill misses) "Crow's down! We need backup here!" (When Akechi is incapacitated by an enemy's skill) "J-Just hold on and push through! We can come back from this!" (When more than one party member is downed by a skill) "We've got casualties! This is bad!" (When more than one party member is incapacitated by a skill) "Whoooaaa... That was awesome!" (When the entire party evades an attack) "Ooh, nice dodge!" (When a party member evades Cognitive Wakaba's attack) "You're dizzy! Your attacks might not connect!" (When a party member is inflicted with Dizzy during his/her turn during Cognitive Wakaba battle) "You need to deal with the despair! It's bad to just ignore it!" (When a party member is inflicted with Despair during protagonist's turn during Cognitive Wakaba battle) "No! Come on, wake up!" (When a party member other than the protagonist is incapacitated by Cognitive Wakaba) "Whoa, this Shadow looks strong!" (Encountering the Reaper) "Everyone's had a shot! Nice combos!" (Performing 3 Baton Passes in succession during protagonist's turn) "All-out Attack!" (Announcing All-Out Attack) "They're done for!" (Announcing All-Out Attack) "Beat 'em up!" (Announcing All-Out Attack) "You tried!" (Finishing Touch) "Mission complete! Kinda..." (Finishing Touch) "Pleasure doin' business!" (Finishing Touch) "Time for a beatdown!" (Rush) "OK, I'm looking for a way out!" (Attempting to escape from battle) "Don't rush me! I'm trying to find you an escape route!" (Selecting "Escape" again)

"If you're gonna run, now's your chance!" "Oh, it got away... Security's gonna be tight now..." "Huh? Who're these kids...? Awww... Those little costumes look perfect! They're so cute! Can I take them home with-Wait... What!? Whoa... for real!? These power levels...! Watch out! Those two are... monsters!" "And they're Persona-users too!? Who ARE these girls!?" "Mom..."
