Plot Elements

 * After Ren defends a woman from being abused by a drunken man on the street, he is falsely charged with assault and put on probation, resulting in expulsion from his school. He is sent to Tokyo to stay with family friend Sojiro Sakura and attend Shujin Academy during his year-long probation. After his arrival, he is drawn into the Velvet Room whilst asleep, where Igor warns him that he must go through "rehabilitation" to avoid forthcoming ruin, and grants him access to a supernatural mobile app that leads him into the Metaverse and the Palace of the school's abusive volleyball coach Suguru Kamoshida.
 * Ren meets Morgana, a cat-like being, who informs him of the ability to change wicked people's hearts by stealing their "Treasure", the emotional root of their behavior and desires, from the Palaces ruled by their Shadow selves.
 * Ren assumes the codename Joker and, together with Morgana and his friends Ryuji and Ann, reforms Kamoshida. The group then forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, stealing corruption from the hearts of adults to reform the city and society as a whole, such as a plagiarizing artist (Ichiryusai Madarame), a blackmailing mafia boss (Junya Kaneshiro), a CEO who mistreats his staff and plans to marry his daughter Haru off to an abusive man for political gain (Kunikazu Okumura), and Makoto's sister and guardian Sae Niijima, a public prosecutor who has become corrupt due to her desperation to overcome the police force's institutional misogyny.
 * As the number of the Phantom Thieves' members and successes grows, they attract the attention of the public and police, including Sae and detective prodigy Goro Akechi.
 * The Phantom Thieves learn that another person described as a black-masked assassin, is using the Metaverse to murder their targets and then framing the Phantom Thieves for the killings, causing the public to turn against them after Okumura dies during his confession. In pursuit of the conspiracy, the group is joined by Akechi.
 * After Ren is captured and brutalized by the police and interrogated by Sae (telling the entire story through a series of flashbacks), Akechi is revealed to be the black-masked assassin and attempts to assassinate Ren. However, the Phantom Thieves have long since anticipated Akechi's betrayal due to him hearing Morgana's voice long before he claimed to have first entered the Metaverse and manage to trick him into killing a cognitive replica of Ren, allowing the real Ren to fake his own death.
 * After escaping into hiding with Sae's help, the Phantom Thieves deduce that the conspiracy's leader is politician Masayoshi Shido, who has been using Akechi's ability to infiltrate the Metaverse to remove obstacles on his path of becoming Prime Minister and imposing his reforms on Japan, as well as the one who framed and pressed assault charges against Ren.
 * When the Phantom Thieves infiltrate Shido's Palace, they face Akechi, who reveals himself to be Shido's illegitimate son. He also reveals that he has been secretly plotting to exact his revenge on Shido for years of neglect and summons his true Persona: Loki. Once defeated, Akechi sacrifices himself to protect the Phantom Thieves from a group of enemies, including a cognitive replica of himself, allowing them to escape, and ultimately defeat Shido.
 * Despite Shido's arrest and confession after his change of heart, the public remains uninterested and has lost trust in both authority and the Phantom Thieves. Even worse, Shido's cronies are attempting to advance his agenda even without him, and have stonewalled Sae's case against him. In response, the Phantom Thieves make a final heist to infiltrate the depths of Mementos, the Palace of everyone's hearts, and steal the Treasure at its core. Inside, they discover that the public is in chaos and has chosen to give up their autonomy, content in being controlled. The Phantom Thieves are then ejected from Mementos by the Treasure itself, taking form as the Holy Grail, and vanish after witnessing the Metaverse merge with reality.
 * Waking in the Velvet Room, Ren confronts Igor, Caroline, and Justine. Caroline and Justine regain their memories and merge into Lavenza, their true form. Lavenza reveals the Igor that Ren has been seeing in the Velvet Room up until this point is Yaldabaoth, the God of Control, who imprisoned the real Igor. Yaldabaoth, also revealed to be the Holy Grail itself, was created from humanity's collective wish to give up control and be free from their own suffering of their choices, and through a bet made with Igor over humanity's goals, Yaldabaoth had given Ren and Akechi their abilities to see whether the world would be preserved or be destroyed through their actions, all while steering the game in his favor.
 * Ren rejects Yaldabaoth's offer to return the world at the cost of his freedom, and he, along with the rest of the Phantom Thieves, fight him. Ren's confidants rally the popular support of the people, rebelling against Yaldabaoth's control of humanity and allowing Ren to awaken his ultimate persona, Satanael, to destroy Yaldabaoth and, consequently, the Metaverse as well. After Yaldabaoth's defeat, in order for Shido to be prosecuted, Ren must turn himself into the police.
 * While Ren is incarcerated, the rest of the Phantom Thieves and his confidants successfully help secure evidence of Ren's innocence in the assault charge, leading to his conviction being overturned. By spring, Ren's friends drive him back to his hometown.
 * Mid-Credits Scene: While sleeping in the car, Ren's friends disintegrate into golden dust particles, causing the van to crash; Ren is the only survivor.
