This article contains story spoilers for Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 5 Strikers. Persona 5 Tactica has largely been considered a triumph in its storytelling, with Toshiro and Erina serving as two compelling spinoff characters fighting alongside the Phantom Thieves. The title focuses largely on the plight of Toshiro, with the Phantom Thieves acting as secondary motivators to the plot, resulting in a story that centers heavily on the progression of his character arc. From a coward-like "puppet" to a warrior in his own right, Toshiro transforms with the help of the Phantom Thieves' philosophy, though the consequences evidenced in the character's past and the Kingdoms' battles can sometimes feel overshadowed in favor of this idealism.
