Persona 5 Royal x Heaven Burns Red Collab English Let's Play
A translation and commentary of Operation Takanawa Mementos - Wake Your Heart - the Persona 5 Royal collab event in Heaven Burns Red
Asalam aleikoum how's it going. Heaven Burns Red Asia version did a Persona 5 Royal collab from May 22 to June 19 2026. This article is a compilation of my playthrough of the event. (There's only the video for Day 1 now. I'm planning to update this article with the rest soon insha Allah).
When doing projects like this I really wish I could activate the OBS captions thing for oomfies who'd need it but strangely it cannot work if you have an AMD graphic card. There's still the YouTube Automatic Closed Captions at least, but sometimes they aren't available on my videos for some reason. Thankfully they seem to be working fine here. They're relatively accurate.
Even if you have no interest in Persona 5 and Heaven Burns Red, I'd really appreciate if you at least watched the intro for the video. Serves as a good introduction for Full Metal Fukumi, for Heaven Burns Red as a whole, and why it became my favorite game of these last four years since its 2022 launch. Most notably because the way it deals with its sad themes is more relatable to me than Expedition 33 or Violet Evergarden, to take the first recent mainstream sad stories that came to mind. Heaven Burns Red feels less White-minded to me.
Operation Takanawa Mementos - Wake Your Heart - Day 1 Commentary and TL
Some mistakes I made since it's really hard TLing live and I'm not a pro: at 1:21:05 Awakened Tsukasa tells Karrie "If you don't stop I'll twist your arm off" and Karrie's like "you're already twisting it".
At 1:48:15 Kojyu acts as if she can feel her Persona awakening, Sumomo is like "her chuuniness is flaring up again".
