The story focuses on the 16-year-old Protagonist after he is transferred to Shujin High School in Tokyo. Staying with friends of his parents, he meets up with two fellow students, problem child Ryuuji Sakamoto and withdrawn Ann Takamaki, and a talking, shape-shifting cat-like creature known as Morgana. During his time there, feeling suppressed by their environment, the four form a group known as the "Phantom Thieves," working together to carry out heists and encountering mysterious phenomena along the way.

Where it came from
Persona 5 The Animation -the Day Breakers- was produced by A-1 Pictures as a prologue special, airing in September 2016 shortly before the full Japanese release of the Persona 5 video game. Designed to generate anticipation for the Atlus title, the special focuses on a specific side mission involving the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, effectively serving as an introduction to the characters and the unique visual identity of the game’s world.
The animation features character designs by Shigenori Soejima, which were adapted for the screen to maintain the stylized, high-contrast aesthetic that defined the Persona 5 brand. By focusing on a self-contained narrative, the special provided fans with an early glimpse into the game's mechanics and thematic tone. It was received as a bridge between the game's marketing phase and its official launch, helping to cement the visual language of the series for both existing fans and new audiences.
