Additionally, rumors circulate that people have been attacked by Shadows in Jails, which causes them to behave abnormally in the real world.
After they escape the dumpster, the protagonist, Morgana, Ryuji and Sophia learn that EMMA enables them to enter the Jails similarly to how they used to enter Palaces via the Metaverse Navigator. Sophia joins the party and easily fights off the Shadows in the dumpster until they find their way out. Alice's Shadow self has the protagonist, Morgana, and Ryuji thrown into a dumpster below Shibuya where they encounter a sentient A.I. Upon entering the keyword, however, he, Morgana, and Ryuji are transported into a mysterious alternate version of Tokyo called a Jail, where they encounter Alice's Shadow, a ruler called a Monarch. While going to Shibuya to buy the necessary tools, they pass by a rising idol, Alice Hiiragi, who gives the protagonist a card requesting them to input "Wonderland" into the EMMA app for a special event she is holding. To determine the camping preparations, they use a popular application called EMMA. Spoiler warning: As this game acts as a continuation of various characters and events established by the original Persona 5, it is highly recommended that the latter game (or alternatively, the first nine months of Persona 5 Royal's story) be played ahead of starting Persona 5 Strikers in order to avoid any potential spoilers or to better understand the development of various central characters past the original game.įour months after the events of Persona 5, the protagonist and Morgana return to Tokyo for a reunion with the other Phantom Thieves of Hearts to spend their summer vacation together on a camping trip.
