Profile[edit | edit source]
Big Bang Burger is a fast food restaurant chain run by Okumura Foods (オクムフーズ*)? who was founded by Kunikazu Okumura. The company's headquarters are located in Roppongi. Big Bang Burger has been wildly successful after Okumura became CEO and has opened various locations in Japan and later overseas, such as Hawaii.
However, Big Bang Burger had a bad reputation among the public, as it's said that Okumura bears little care about his employees, preferring to work them overtime and driving them to fatigue or death instead, with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts later clarifying that for themselves. The Big Bang Burger is a major theme in Okumura's Palace, as it's centered around his fast-food chain.
After Okumura's death, while Haru Okumura, his daughter, was intended to be the heir, Takakura takes her place until she becomes fit for the job. She is currently studying how to manage the company as during Persona 5 Strikers.
Shops[edit | edit source]
In Persona 5, the protagonist can buy consumable items from Big Bang Burger in Central Street of Shibuya, mainly burgers. All the items sold are able to restore HP to all allies. There are certain products that can only be bought during certain seasons. Additionally, maxing out Haru Okumura's Confidant will add the Supernova Burger to the list. For more information, see Confidant → Haru Okumura.
The location can be found again while the party visits several prefectures of Japan in Persona 5 Strikers. However, their items can now be limited to heal 1 ally only.
Activities[edit | edit source]
Overall, Big Bang Burger is similar to other food chain restaurants found in other Persona games. Similar restaurants include Wild-Duck Burger in Persona 3 and Chinese Diner Aiya in Persona 4. Both this locations focus on ranking Courage Social Stats to the protagonist and have a special meal activity.
The protagonist is able to take the Big Bang Challenge for ¥1,200 to ¥1,800 during the daytime, but it's discounted to ¥500 during the night. Partaking will pass time. The activity demands the challenger eats a huge burger under a time limit. There are three challenges with different levels of difficulty, and they can only be completed in order, no longer being accessible after being completed.
Technically, the deciding factors are the protagonist's Social Stats: he'll need to have both his Guts, Knowledge and Proficiency at a certain Rank to beat the challenge. The first challenge requires the three aforementioned stats to be at Rank 2, with the second one at Rank 3, and the last at Rank 4. If the protagonist completes the challenge, he is awarded with one of three accessories, depending on the difficulty: the 2nd Mate Badge, 1st Mate Badge, and the Captain Badge respectively, which give additional HP to the user. He will also gain a Social Stat boost to all his stats (except Kindness), with the level of difficulty deciding the points each stat gets: 1 for the first, 2 for the 2nd, and 3 for the 3rd. However, if the protagonist doesn't meet the necessary criteria, he will fail the challenge, and will have to try again another time, although his Guts will gain a stat boost (point gain is equivalent to the amount of points an individual stat would receive upon beating the respective challenge.)
After completing the three challenges, the protagonist can partake in the activity again, but the payoff for this will instead be 10 Big Bang Burgers and 3 points of Guts.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
Big Bang Challenge being casted in battle
- Some of Shadow Okumura's workers' skills in his boss battle are named after his fast food chain: particularly Big Bang Order and Big Bang Challenge.
- In Persona 5 Strikers, a Big Bang Burger stall can be seen in Tokyo Tower. However, it is merely a background object, and when the party visits Tokyo Tower it is already overlaid with the Tree of Life and Wisdom.
