ProfileEdit
Persona Q: Shadow of the LabyrinthEdit
At the end of every labyrinth, a treasure chest that is protected by a Labyrinth Guardian. Upon opening each treasure chest, a memento of Rei from her life is found. Each unlocks more and more of both Rei and Zen's lost memories.
Persona 5Edit
There are two types of treasure in Persona 5: the items in the player's inventory marked as "treasure", gained from dungeons, and the corrupted hearts that the Phantom Thieves of Hearts steal in order to reform corrupt adults' hearts. Treasure in the player's inventory has no purpose and can be sold in the real world.
The corrupted hearts all appear as treasures for the Phantom Thieves to steal, and when the treasures are successfully stolen the corrupted adults will feel remorse for their actions. Initially they appear as a formless cloud of rainbow energy, as the Palace's host is not focused on how they could lose it. However, if the host feels "threatened" of having a secret exposed, their treasure takes on a physical form, usually something related to the source of their ego. The Phantom Thieves achieve this by issuing a calling card directly to the palace's owner in the real world. Once taken out of the Palace, the host's world collapses into nothingness and the Treasure becomes a mundane but valuable item which the Thieves sell to finance themselves. The host then suffers from a great personality change that can arrange from thoroughly apologizing their crimes to completely recovering from their depression.

Sae is the only Palace owner who does not have her treasure revealed. Her treasure was deliberately never stolen so her Palace and Shadow could be used to outmaneuver Akechi. However, it was theorized by Makoto to be their father's police journal. As the protagonist is released from juvenile hall at the end of the game, Sae asks him what her treasure was; he does not give her a straight answer, and she relents, deciding that it no longer matters.
Persona 5 The Animation The Day BreakersEdit
