Akane Annointed
Witnessing the explosion, Zenkichi shifts into his Phantom Thief attire and sprints off with the other Thieves following behind. Finally finding Akane, the father and daughter share a hug before Joker warns of an Incoming! enemy. Muraoka, holding a Vane of Order, declares he will use the relic's power to release Owada from prison and reestablish order in Shido's name. The Thieves are left unimpressed, and Wolf tosses Muraoka aside. Now infuriated, Muraoka transforms into a Shiisaa and engages in battle with the Thieves. Wolf then teaches Akane the basics of being a Persona-user as the duo fights the Shadow, eventually defeating it with an All-Out Attack. Zenkichi immediately seizes the Vane of Order and hands it to the Thieves. Akane becomes exhausted, prompting Zenkichi to tell the Thieves to take her home.
At the Hasegawa residence, the Thieves went to work on rearranging furniture, removing debris, and cleaning the area. Akane soon wakes up in her room to find Morgana watching over her. The two of them then head downstairs to join the Thieves for dinner. Later, Zenkichi returns and announces he and Akane will move back to Tokyo for safety and to train his daughter in using her Persona.
Two days later, in Leblanc's attic, the Phantom Thieves and Akane enter through the door that the Kirijo Group installed to their new hideout. After climbing to the rooftop, the group of Persona-users changes into their Thief attires. Once Akane gives herself the codename of Raven, Joker begins her lessons as a Phantom Thief by starting with physical training.
