Who's Been Assaulting People Persona 5 Royal? Mementos Request Guide

The person who's been assaulting people in Persona 5 Royal is the target of a Mementos request named "Who's Been Assaulting People?" — you identify him by working the convenience store part-time job twice, then fight him as Shadow Naguri in Mementos' Path of Kaitul. Despite how it reads, it's not a classroom quiz question — it's a side quest from Mishima's Phan-Site forum, and it's easy to miss if you never take the convenience store job. This guide covers the full unlock path, the boss fight, and the related quiz/request answers players usually search for alongside it.

The Direct Answer

• The culprit — a man who assaults people near the station at night; the convenience store's night-shift manager names him after you've worked two shifts. (It's the same assault-rumor thread that runs through the Kamoshida arc — see our characters guide for how that story fits together.)
• The boss — Shadow Naguri, found in the Path of Kaitul, Area 4 in Mementos.
• The reward — standard request completion rewards plus the satisfaction of closing the case; completing it also advances Mishima's Moon Confidant progress toward unlocking more requests.

How to Unlock the Request

The request arrives via Mishima's text messages once you've cleared Madarame's Palace (it's available from the July-to-September window — community reports date the trigger anywhere from early July to August depending on how fast you progress). Follow these steps:

1. Accept the request — read Mishima's message on the Phan-Site so "Who's Been Assaulting People?" shows in your Requests menu (the target shows as "???" until you gather intel).
2. Work the convenience store job twice — the part-time convenience store job in the city (available from mid-game). Work a shift, and on the second shift the store manager tells you about the suspicious customer who's been assaulting people — the request then identifies the target.
3. Enter Mementos — the target now has a name (ID'd), so head to the Path of Kaitul, Area 4 and find the red request icon.

Shadow Naguri Boss Guide

Shadow Naguri is a pure physical brawler — no elemental gimmicks, no status tricks, just raw damage. Key facts (from the GameRant request walkthrough and Samurai Gamers' Mementos request database):

• HP — roughly 6,000, which is modest for that point in the game; a prepared party with decent level (30s-40s) melts it.
• Skills — Counter, Assault Dive, Lightning Speed and Tarukaja. The threat is burst physical damage, especially if it gets a Tarukaja off.
• Counters — party-wide defense buffs (Makoto's Marakukaja is perfect), healers on standby, and don't leave the party with a physical weakness exposed to its AoE skills. If you're underleveled, our persona list guide can help you fuse a stronger party before the fight.
• Notable — it's immune to instant death, burn, freeze, shock, fear, despair and brainwash, so don't waste skill slots on ailments; raw damage and buffs win this one.

Per the official Persona 5 Royal Steam store page, Royal is "the definitive edition" of Persona 5 — the version this Mementos request walkthrough applies to (the request also exists in the vanilla game with the same steps).

Other Notable Mementos Requests

The request list is long (20+ in vanilla, more in Royal), but a few famous ones players search by name:
