TV Special
Description
Yuuki Mishima, a second-year Shujin Academy student, endured frequent abuse from volleyball coach Suguru Kamoshida, visible through his early bandaged injuries. His ordinary appearance—spiky blue-tinted black hair, black eyes, and average stature—symbolizes the Phantom Thieves' average supporters. Coerced by Kamoshida, Mishima spread harmful rumors about classmates including the protagonist and summoned students like Shiho Suzui for abusive "advice sessions," contributing to her suicide attempt. Though aware of his actions' wrongness, fear of Kamoshida's retaliation paralyzed him.
After Kamoshida's downfall, Mishima deduced the protagonist's Phantom Thief identity and launched the Phantom Aficionado Website ("Phan-Site") to support their vigilantism. Initially exploiting the Thieves' fame for personal validation and targeting past bullies, his envy of their impact and self-loathing—viewing himself as a "nobody"—drove this phase. A pivotal confrontation with his own Shadow in Mementos, embodying suppressed desires for vengeance and recognition, coupled with witnessing a former bully's assault, spurred him to independently threaten the attackers with evidence. This act of courage revealed his capacity to effect change without the Thieves.
Mishima evolved from a victimized bystander to a self-reliant activist, repurposing the Phan-Site to amplify public pleas for justice and field Mementos requests. His perceptiveness in gauging Tokyo's shifting sentiments through polls often outpaced the Thieves' awareness. Despite loyalty, past isolation fueled socially awkward tendencies like excessive apologetic texting and clinginess toward the protagonist. Occasional poor judgment surfaced, such as "Operation Maidwatch" exposing teacher Sadayo Kawakami's double life.
As the Moon Confidant, Mishima strengthened his bond with the protagonist via Mementos missions, granting combat experience bonuses to the Thieves and enabling non-active members' growth. Completing his Confidant arc yielded "Documentary Plans," unlocking experience perks in subsequent playthroughs. His story culminated in a vow to authentically aid others through the Phan-Site, rejecting superficial fame for genuine advocacy.
