Synopsis
Unaired Persona 5 Animation BD/DVD specials: winter crossword reflection and Valentine's Day companion stories.
Unaired episodes included in 11th 12th BD/DVD volume of the Persona 5 the Animation. These volumes contained the two Persona 5 the Animation TV Specials ("Stars and Ours" "Dark Sun..." respectively) rather than episodes of the regular TV series. #1: A quiet winter day finds Ren working at the cafe when he discovers a crossword puzzle magazine with familiar handwriting beside a completed puzzle. This chance discovery leads him on a reflective journey through the snowy streets as he contemplates past connections and the deeper meanings behind simple words. #2: Valentine's Day Omnibus Story featuring Ren Amamiya and the various relationships he's built throughout his journey, showcasing heartwarming moments with friends and companions.
