TVアニメ「ペルソナ5」
Synopsis
Wrongly-probated teen leads Phantom Thieves to reform corrupt adults via Metaverse Personas, challenging justice and morality.
Ren Amamiya, a new transfer student at Shujin Academy, is sent to Tokyo to live with his family friend Sojiro Sakura after wrongly being put on probation for defending a woman from sexual assault. While on the way to attend his first day at his new school, Ren notices a strange app has appeared on his phone, transferring him to a mysterious world known as the Metaverse—a realm where human cognition takes physical form. In this surreal dimension, he awakens his Persona, a power from deep within that gives him the strength to fight against the darker aspects of humanity. With the help of similarly troubled students, he forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, a group that seeks to change society by targeting the distorted desires of corrupt adults. As they work to reform society one heart at a time, the Phantom Thieves' actions draw both admiration and scrutiny, forcing them to confront the consequences of their revolutionary methods while navigating the complexities of justice and morality in a world that seems stacked against them.
