It is a Persona 5 Royal adaptation of ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'', which includes Sumire Yoshizawa and Goro Akechi joining the Phantom Thieves across Japan to put an end to the Change of Heart epidemic occurring across the country.

!!''The Royal Strikers'' contains examples of:
* ActionPrologue: Just like in the original game, the prologue shows Joker fighting against a large number of Shadows to serve as a distraction, only this time, he is joined by Violet and Crow.
* AdaptationExpansion: The Phantom Thieves' summer vacation will last for two and a half months, which is longer compared to the time it would normally last in Japan[[note]] In Japan, summer vacation lasts for about a month, [[/note]], the reason behind it being that the Ministry of Education wanted to experiment on how schools in the west do things. In addition, Sumire and Akechi, two characters that weren't present in the original game, join the Phantom Thieves on their trip across Japan, as well as the group meeting the Shadow Operatives and the Investigation Team.
* AdaptedOut: Due to ''VideoGame/Persona5Tactica'' being released long after this story was being worked on, the authors have stated that the game will not be considered canon to the story, their reason being that they would potentially have to adjust a lot of things they had planned for the story for it to take place post-Tactica.
* AssholeVictim: The girl who bullied Alice during high school and took her crush away from her just so happens to be a victim of Alice through EMMA. Not only did she lose her boyfriend, she also lost her job and her friends, and was forced to work at a low-paying job just to put food on the table. Ann makes it clear that she has no sympathy for her when the two meet.
* BagOfSpilling: For unknown reasons, the Phantom Thieves' Personas have reverted back to their initial forms. In Ren's case, not only does his main Persona, Raoul, revert back to Arsène, he also loses access to the Personas from the Compendium he had before, [[spoiler: which, according to Lavenza, is caused by an unknown force of nature]]. As such, Ren has to start a new Compendium from scratch.
* BattleCouple: Ren and Sumire, the main couple of this story.
* BerserkButton: When confronting Shadow Alice after sending the calling card to her real-world counterpart, she is properly introduced to Violet, whom Joker mentioned during their first encounter. When Shadow Alice insults Joker for having low standards in women, both he and Violet are enraged by this, the latter's building up even more when Shadow Alice flirts with her boyfriend throughout the fight with her.

* DejaVu: Joker gets a sense of this when the Phantom Thieves fight Shadow Alice after she transforms into her rabbit form, saying that he feels like [[VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth they had fought a giant rabbit somewhere before]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: While the Phantom Thieves are having lunch beside the riverbank on their way to Sapporo, Akechi tells them that before they can get there, they need to [[spoiler: make a detour to a city on the coast of Hakodate, saying that his benefactor has requested to meet them. Given that WordOfGod has stated that there will be a Port Island Jail between the Sendai and Sapporo Jails, one can easily assume who Akechi's benefactor might be.]]
* NotQuiteDead: Thought to have been dead after Maruki's defeat, Akechi is revealed to be alive when Ren, Ryuji, and Morgana enter Alice's Jail for the first time, with the rest of the Thieves learning about this after they get out.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: A news report mentions that Alice Hiiragi is a distant relative of Misuzu Hiiragi, the enka singer from Persona 4, whom she shares a last name with. In canon, there is nothing to suggest that the two are related in any way.
* RunningGag: Whenever someone says "for real", the Phantom Thieves take a drink of whatever drinks they have on them.
*TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: In Chapter 8, Akechi is shown to still possess the Wild Card ability when he lands the final blow on a Shadow blocking the way to the rooftop of Alice's castle, which then becomes a Persona for him to use, called Bandersnatch. In the following chapter, he would use the Persona during the fight against Shadow Alice.]]
** [[spoiler: WordOfGod has also stated that, while Akechi won't be able to access the Velvet Room and use its functions like Ren can, he will be able to use certain Personas that Ren can't.]]
* TooMuchInformation: When Shadow Alice steps on Joker during their first encounter, he responds by saying that only Violet is allowed to step on him, which makes Mona, Skull, and Crow very disturbed and uncomfortable.
* VillainousCrush: Shadow Alice seems to have one for Joker, which makes him really uncomfortable when she flirts with him during the fight against her, much to Violet's anger.
