''Eternal Punishment''
begins
when Maya is sent to write a story about the Joker phenomenon: according to rumor, if someone phones their own number, the Joker will kill
on
request. Going to Seven Sisters, she, Ulala, and Katsuya find
the
school
principal
murdered
by
the
Joker.
The Joker then attacks them, forcing each of them to summon their Personas. After the Joker knocks them out, Philemon contacts them and warns of a growing danger to the city. After waking, the three pursue the Joker into the school clock tower, where he attempts for force a student to remember the events of
Innocent Sin.
They
are
saved by Tatsuya, who tells Maya to forget
about
him.
After
Katsuya
is
removed
from
the case by his superior Captain Shimazu
,
he teams up with Maya and Ulala to find
the
Joker.
They
eventually ally with Baofu, who believes that Tatsuya Sudou
and
his
father
Tatsuzou
are
involved
with the Joker
.
Going
to the mental institution where Sudou
is
held, they discover that Tatsuzou
sent
Taiwanese Mafia hitmen
to
kill
Sudou.
Once
confronted, Sudou admits that he is
the
Joker
,
and
reveals
that
he
is
attempting to trigger the reappearance of the Other Side
.
Pursuing
him
to the Sky Museum, the party runs into Tatsuya
and
saves
Jun from Sudou after Sudou sets
the
building
on
fire.
After
escaping with the museum's visitors on a blimp
, an
injured Sudou makes a final attack
that
damages
the
blimp before Tatsuya kills him. When the party regroup, Tatsuya
has
vanished
.

Upon their return, the party continue to investigate Tatsuzou's activities, and find that negative feelings are turning other people into new "Jokers", who are in turn being kidnapped by Tatsuzou's agents. The party eventually learn that Tatsuzou and a secret organization he leads, the New World Order, are manipulating Sumaru's government, corporations, and media for his own ends. After this, they hear of two others, Kei and Eriko, investigating the New World Order and their links with the Joker curse and an increasingly prevalent fortune telling craze used to manipulate the spread of rumors: they are involved due to the possible involvement of Kandori, a former enemy of theirs, who is posing as Tatsuzou's secretary. Depending on the party's actions at this point, either Kei or Eriko will join their party as they go to investigate the holding area for the new Jokers. Upon arriving, they find Eikichi captured by Kandori while looking for a friend. While Kandori attempts to awaken Eikichi's memories of the Other Side, Tatsuya intervenes and enables the party and Eikichi to escape. The group then save Lisa and her girl group from their promoter, another Order member, with help from Tatsuya, who again vanishes afterwards. Through a friendly informant in the Police, they learn the New World Order's ultimate goal: to raise Sumaru City in the rumor-generated spaceship "Torifune", and trigger the destruction of the Earth's surface by sacred dragons by creating a concentration of Kegare to create a new world free of sin. The only way to stop the plan's fulfillment is defeating the Order.

After failing to corner Tatsuzou and puzzled about Tatsuya's motives, the party finally persuade Tatsuya to reveal the truth. During the original confrontation with Nyarlathotep, Maya was killed, prompting the rest of the group (Tatsuya, Lisa, Jun and Eikichi) to reset events. Tatsuya refused to forget the events of the Other Side, creating a dangerous loophole: if all the other members of the original group could be forced to remember, the Other Side would be brought back into existence, destroying the present reality. After revealing this, Tatsuya is allowed to join the party in place of either Kei or Eriko. After returning to Sumaru proper, the city is raised by Tatsuzou as part of Torifune. Successfully infiltrating Torifune and defeating Tatsuzou and his "god" Gozen, the city returns to the surface, but the party are drawn into the Collective Unconscious by Nyarlathotep. Making their way into his domain, they discover Nyarlathotep has kidnapped Eikichi, Lisa and Jun in an effort to force their memories of the Other Side into reality. Defeating the Shadow Selves guarding them, the party saves each of them, then confront Nyarlathotep, who mocks Tatsuya for refusing to fulfill his part of Philemon's agreement. After Nyarlathotep is defeated, Tatsuya fulfills his side of the bargain, and after saying his final goodbyes separates his Other Side consciousness from his current self. With the city returned to normal and any specific memories of the Other Side gone, the party return to their normal lives.
