How to Unlock the Emperor Social Link

Emperor Social Link Best Answers

The Emperor Social Link in Persona 3 Reload is one of the few Social Links that you unlock automatically in your playthrough, and it's also one that you'll get early on. Hidetoshi Odagiri is the Emperor Social Link in Persona 3 Reload, and by starting it, you can unlock the Justice Social Link. Since you will get the Emperor Social Link through story progression, you'll have more than enough time to rank it up to 10 if you plan on getting all Social Links in your playthrough.

What Days is Hidetoshi Available?

On 4/27, Mitsuru will ask you to join the Student Council. Once you have free time, go to the Faculty Room (1F) and get your paperwork to formally join. You can then visit the Student Council Room in the 2F Hallway.

There's another Student Council member who has a Social Link. This is Chihiro Fushimi, and you will want to make a habit of speaking to her three days in a row to unlock her Social Link as soon as possible.

Odagiri is available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He is unavailable during holidays, Sundays, and the week before exams.

Since Odagiri is free three days during the school week, you can Rank Up the Emperor Social Link quickly if you wish. It's advised when you spend time with Odagiri to have a Persona of the Emperor Arcana in your lineup. This will ensure you're getting the most points from the best possible dialogue choices. The following Persona are Emperor:

Forneus
Oberon
Take-Mikazuchi
Goemon (DLC)
Kamu Susano-o (DLC)
King Frost
Naga Raja
Kingu
Belphegor
Barong

Rank 1

As long as you've received permission from Toriumi about joining the Student Council, you can start Rank 1. This is an automatic Rank Up, so your dialogue choices won't matter here. From Ranks 2-9, you'll want to choose the answers that best appeal to Odagiri so you can farm as many Social Link points as you can per Rank.
