Beyond Selves by Void_Chords (I own neither of them)
Extremes confining reason
Opens with a left side view of Ren Amamiya on the left side of the screen, pushing his glasses up, with the background being a pitch-black cityscape with bright-blue flames on the horizon.
Creation mass divisions refined
He then gets covered by blue flames, which over to the right side of the screen before dissipating, showing a right side view of him in his Phantom Thief attire as Joker, as the background becomes a full body view of Arsène. He then rips off his mask, swinging towards the left of the screen, revealing the rest of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, which consist of Morgana, Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Makoto Niijima, Futaba Sakura, and Haru Okumura, in their normal forms, all walking with their back turned, before stopping as blue flames engulf each of them, as they turn to face the screen, with all of them now in their Phantom Thief attire, before Morgana slingshots a metal ball at the screen, cracking it like glass.
Inflated observations
It then shatters like glass, before it then shows the inside of Café Leblanc, where Sojiro Sakura, Sae Niijima, Takuto Maruki, Sumire Yoshizawa, Zenkichi Hasegawa, Akane Hasegawa, Kuon Ichinose, and Sophia on the screen of Kuon Ichinose's phone, standing up, are all just sitting and standing around, while also talking somewhat.
We're bound to find the truth inside, beyond selves
Blue flames then cover Sumire, Zenkichi, and the phone that Sophia was on, as Café Leblanc, and everyone else there fades from existence, before the flames die down revealing Sumire as Violet, Zenkichi as Wolf, and Sophia as Sophie, with them facing multiple red-eyed shadowed out enemies surrounding them. A black feather then floats by, revealing the familiar figure of Goro Akechi, standing on the edge of a building overlooking a dazzling cityscape, with his back facing, as another bkack feather blows by, showing him in his Crow attire with his back still facing. A third black feather once again blows by as Crow is now gone, and a literal crow perched on the building's edge in his place, before it flies off, up towards the moon, as it loses one of its feathers. Said feather floats by the screen, before showing Morgana, in his Metaverse form, hugging onto a briefcase with stars in his eyes, before a whip wraps around both him and the briefcase, pulling them up, revealing it to be Ann Takamaki, as Panther, as she throws it as Morgana let's go and flies off. Ryuji Sakamoto, as Skull, jumps up catching it before sliding down a railing, and then throwing it up into the air as well, up to where Yusuke Kitagawa, as Fox, is at, before quickly slicing it multiple times with his katana, destroying the briefcase while also revealing the contents to be large heart-shaped diamond. Said diamond then falls down into the right-hand of Makoto Niijima, as Queen, while riding Johanna, as she then spins around before throwing it over to Haru Okumura, as Noir, whom uses her axe to hit it high into the sky. A tentacle then grabs it, revealing to be Necronomicon, with Futaba Sakura, as Oracle, also riding it via a tentacle. Ren Amamiya, as Joker, then swings by on a rope ladder, grabbing the heart-shaped diamond with a big smirk on his face, before panning up revealing Morgana in his helicopter form, before winking at the the camera, before both he and Joker fly off into the dazzling cityscape at night.

It then shifts, showing 16 silhouetted figures of various shapes and sizes.
And progress… inside
It then pans upward, showing 5 larger silhouetted figures, and then finally one big demonic silhouetted figure, whom then stretches out its right towards the camera, before a bright flash covers the screen. As it fades, it then shows Ren Amamiya, as Joker, landing on the ground with the heart-shaped diamond in his hands, as a car drives by, revealing him in his normal everyday appearance, while Morgana is scene being carried around the bag he has on him, meowing. He then disappears into a large crowd of people, which then gets entirely engulfed by blue flames. When the flames die down, the title is revealed.
Hey everybody! LazinessRules here! I'm sorry if you were hoping for the next chapter, "Pirating a Movie". Things are just so hectic over on my end, being busy with college work and all. Fortunately, it won't be long until I graduate, so I should be able to really get back to the story soon. Of course, I'll also be busy job hunting, so I can't really make too many promises. Anyways, even though I Am The Prophet didn't do it back when he/she was the writer of this story, I knew that I just wouldn't be satisfied until an opening theme was added. I had some help from Crossovernaru on it by the way. For some of you anime fans, you may recognize the song lyrics, as they are from the opening theme of RWBY: Ice Queendom, a Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft, based on the American web series RWBY created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. That goes to show that I do not own RWBY: Ice Queendom, or the main RWBY series. They both belong to Shaft and Rooster Teeth, which neither I own. Of course, I really hope that a new company, such as DillonGoo Studios, which I don't own, takes up ownership of the RWBY franchise, given the ordered shutdown of Rooster Teeth by the current CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, all just to claim a tax write-off. Ugh, I swear it's people like him that ruin animations these days that have such great potential all just for money! *Sigh* Enough of that. You also might've noticed that I ended up recycling a few scenes from the opening them of Persona 5 Royal, if any of you don't mind. Also, I don't own any of the Persona games, as they all belong to Atlus, which I don't own either. Furthermore, my version of The Titans that will be appearing in this story are all owned by DC Comics, which I don't own. As for Naomi's superhero name being "Supernova" rather than "Powerhouse", well... if do research on The Deviants, there's someone among them that goes by the "Powerhouse" name, even though it's spelled differently. Plus, I think "Supernova" suits Naomi really well. By the way, the spiderbot from the scene that Futaba, Morgana, and Richie are in is basically from the Watchdogs Legion game. I basically intend on using various gadgets from the Watchdogs game franchise, as well as the Mission: Impossible film franchise. I don't own the Watchdogs videogames, or the Mission: Impossible movies. They belong to their respective owners, none of which I own either. Sorry if this also includes one or more spoilers. I just can't help. On the topic of spoilers, in the upcoming "Pirating a Movie" chapter, I will be making a reference to what I believe was one of the greatest movies and cartoons of the early 2000s, so I'll let your imaginations run wild on what it could be. Before I forget, the official release date of Persona 5: The Phantom X is only a few days away! Can't wait for when an English release date is set, which I'm like totally hoping for! Even though it it'll be in a different language for the time being, I'm still gonna be binging the playthrough videos online. Anyways, I really hope you all like the opening.
