Izuku blinked. Her voice had dropped an octave and lacked any of the 'youth' it had before. Something about it sounded familiar, but he would have continued on without a fuss had she not turned around. It took several moments to process the sight but her name soon spilled out of his mouth without bidding as his eyes went wide as plates.

"Kawakami...sensei?"

The maid froze in place, her eyes instantly meeting his. Morgana had hidden himself away as she turned around, but Izuku heard the cat gasp. The two stared at each other for a long moment, the details of Kawakami's face becoming more and more recognizable the longer it went on.

The maid slowly straightened out, her face pale for a moment before she forced a smile. "Wh-What are you talking about, young master? I'm just a cute maid who provides house services, meow~!"

That's definitely her! And she just tried to lie about it! Izuku's jaw fell as he continued to stare. By the time he managed to shake off the shock, only one thing was on his mind: run.

"O-Oh, I see! M-My mistake! I-I had the wrong person… hahaha…" Izuku mechanically turned in place and started down the sidewalk. "S-Sorry for the inconvenience, I have to be going now…"

Izuku froze when he felt a hand grip into his shoulder, slowly craning his head back in fear. Kawakami was right behind him with a ghastly smile on her face.

"Come now, young master~! I would at least like to talk about our services before you go~!"

Izuku felt sweat bead down his face. "N-No, that's alright. I-AAAAGH~!" His protests fell on deaf ears as she dragged him into a nearby alley. She stood him in front of the wall and slammed her hand into the wall behind him, cutting off any chance of escape.

"Please… just please hear me out…" Kawakami's cheeks were blazing red with embarrassment. "I know this looks bad, but… okay, it's pretty bad. Just, please… give me a chance here before you go blabbing to your friends."

Izuku could see the desperation in her expression and the trembling of her body. Considering how out of sorts she was, as well as the fact that it would be unlikely for him to escape, he gave her a slow nod. "O-Okay…"

Poor gal, her situation really got to me, poor dear. Not easy for kids, or adults.

Ooooh! All for one, and Mirio appears! And th e original persona 5 protagonist!

Bakugou with a persona...I have mix feelings about this.
Well lets see where this goes.

About time Bakugo grew up. I have always hated his character. He was both overtly cruel and demeaning. What twists my gut, even more, is the fact that Izuku keeps on trailing behind him like a love-sick puppy, calling him a nick-name reserved for close friends. To make things worse, he does not value the lives of his classmates, willing to do anything, absolutely anything, to get to the top.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet but it seems like bakugo awakened by accepting his true self in which case he should summon using the card method instead.

Well, since you included 'splody boy there, can we at least meet in the middle to not include the Boy Detective (Goro Akechi) in the team? Please? :'(

Honestly, this is the best Persona x BNHA story that I've read so far. Keep up the good work!

I don't know of someone has told you this but, in chapter 28, the Moon confidant level up says is Rank 3 when it's actually Rank 2.

I loved the chapter! At first I wasn't sure of Bakugou joining, but the chapter made me change my mind, very good

I'm honestly looking forward to what you can do with Bakugo's character now that he's part of the Phantom Thieves. The way you wrote this chapter still leaves him a lot of room to develop as a person, which is the same for all the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. The fact he has only started to show any kind of respect towards Izuku and Makoto means that he still needs to learn to show respect towards the rest of his new teammates and his peers at U.A. The only question I have is what character he will be replacing Confidant wise? Replacing Shinya as the Tower Confidant seems the most likely considering his personality and flaws, but that's still only a guess.

I just thought of something...

In Shido's palace, the Thieves turn into rats while under the Shido's statues radar since he sees anyone not part of his ship or intruders as vermin.

If Overhaul sees quirks as a disease, an infection, a virus in the same vein as heroics, and if his palace has something similar to Shido's palace statues, wouldn't anyone WITH a quirk become increasingly sick in their presences.

If that happens, especially when they have to fight Shadow Overhaul, Izuku might have to fight him alone... with Morgana's help if his Transforming into bus thing or the fact he could talk in general isn't seen as a quirk since the rest of the Thieves have quirks right now unless... if those permanent Quirk-Erasing bullets ever appear in the palace... I'm sure as heck someone will be willing to "take the bullet" if it means getting back into the frey to help finish the fight against Overhaul.

Now that was a chapter. I expected something hefty like this, but damn was it delivered perfectly! ;)

Great work as always!

I just realise that this has potential for a spinoff story. What if instead of joining the Phantom Thieves he makes his own crew with the cast of UA instead, including Ren. That way we have two teams of Phantom Thieves operating in Tokyo, well I think in Tokyo cause I really don't know where Musutafu is despite it being a fictional city or province.

Oooh mention of the eight precepts, iwai calling Izuku ‘mumbles’. Cute lol

"Nope, I haven't missed a single shoot yet!" Ann said with a bit of pride, pushing some hair out of her eyes. "It confuses the staff to see a sub show up. Hopefully that doesn't happen to me. Though, ironically enough, that's how I got my start in modelling."

"Oh? How'd that happen?"

"It was when I was living in Finland with my parents. They were running a big event when they ended up not having enough models."

Izuku raised his brow in surprise. "Your parents work with models?"

"Oh, I haven't told you? My parents are both fashion designers who put on some seriously extravagant shows. They jump from country to country, so I only see them for half a year." Ann explained.

"Oh, I see. I kind of know what that's like," Izuku nodded. "My dad is overseas for a lot of his work, so it was just me and my mom at home most of the time. He probably won't be home for a while, either. I can't imagine what it's like with both parents gone."

"I've gotten used to it now. It was tough when I was younger, as it was me and my live-in caretaker most of the time. And because we moved around, I didn't have a lot of friends…" Ann said, scratching her cheek awkwardly. "Sorry, that got dark fast, huh?" She laughed.

"It's okay. I think that's something we have in common, too…" Izuku laughed awkwardly. He brushed the topic aside with a wave of his hand. "That said, you really like modeling, huh?"

Nice reveal and bonding there.

Oh, rabbit themed like Miriko I almost said ‘all might’ because of Izuku hero outfit lol

Marvelous work again. :)

Bro, not gonna lie, this chapter blindsided me like a vicious left-hook no less than three times. This did not go the way I had expected, you actually did WAY BETTER! Firstly, busting out the P4 shadow formula? Freaking. BRILLIANT! Thinking on it now, there is no other way to have made Bakugou acknowledge his flaws. SaintTomas was right in the money, Bakugou rebelled not against society, but against himself and his own weakness. On another note, Cowboy Bakugou? The child goin yeehaw up in here? YES. I didn’t see that coming at all, but you have made a PHENOMENAL choice my friend. Gotta wonder what his ranged weapon will be, though. Makoto already has the revolver and Ryuji has the shotgun. Not many unique gun types left. Bow/crossbow (with explosive bolts)? Way I figure, he’d probably forego a ranged weapon in favor of his quirk. Regardless, all I really have to say here is that you have officially injected a near-lethal amount of pure HYPE into my veins, dude!
