First of all, we get to see Kasumi Yoshizawa during an event at Inokashira Park. Apparently, the students at Shijin Gakuen have been drafted into cleaning the park, and our new heroine shows her prowess with gymnastics by grabbing a stray balloon and returning it to a child.

She is a first-year student at the school, and she joined in the same year as the hero transferred in.

The second video focuses on Takuto Maruki. He is a new confidant who has been assigned to Shujin Academy as a counselor. He quickly becomes popular among the student for providing good advice.

In the clip, we see his introduction by the greasy principal o the school.

Incidentally, we also hear that the special OVA episode of the anime “A Magical Valentine Day” wll release on June 26 with volume 12 of the Blu-Ray/DVD series.

It will include 11 mini-episodes in which the hero will meet up with pretty much everyone on the menu, including Ryuji, and a “secret” one marked by question marks.

A Twitter poll among the girls promises to show a glimpse of the one who gets the most votes by May 28.

If you want to see more, we recently saw anoher video revealing a scene during the Hatsumode shrine visit on New Year, the reaction of the fans to the recent trailerquite a few screenshots of the game, on top of a few gameplay videos. We also got an overview of the new content, and a version of the latest trailer subtitled in English.

Persona 5 Royal is releasing in Japan on October 31, 2019, exclusively for PS4, and in the west in 2020.
