Quick Links
Social Links are a gameplay feature in every Persona game that enables you to unlock Arcana and Ultimate Personas. In some cases, a Social Link may be locked behind another Social Link. One example of this is Persona 3 Reload's Justice Social Link, Chihiro Fushimi. However, you'll need to speak with Chihiro after class on several occasions before you can formally unlock the Justice Social Link. You'll want to be careful what you say, as choosing a "wrong" answer will delay you from getting Justice (Social Link) Rank 1 in Persona 3 Reload.
Updated on February 13, 2024 by Renri Seong: Social Links in the Persona series always have 10 Ranks (with some exceptions), so you'll need to learn how to balance your Tartarus runs, Social Stat leveling, and Social Links when playing Persona 3 Reload. While it would be nice if you could just start the Social Link as soon as you meet the right person, a handful of Social Links have prerequisites. This can be as easy as giving them a specific item, or it can be tedious such as speaking to them on three consecutive days (or more). The Justice Social Link, Chihiro Fushimi, is one that takes several steps before you can reach Rank 1. The following guide has been updated to include which answers give the most points for Chihiro's Social Link, as well as Personas of the Justice Arcana.

How to Unlock Justice Social Link
How to Start the Emperor Social Link
On 4/27 in-game, you'll be asked by Mitsuru to join the Student Council at Gekkoukan High. You will then need to go to the Faculty Room on the first floor to speak to Ms. Toriumi to officially join the council, which can be found on the second floor across from your classroom. In doing this, you will unlock the Emperor Social Link, and you'll meet Hidetoshi Odagiri and Chihiro Fushimi. Hidetoshi represents the Emperor Social Link, whereas Chihiro represents the Justice Social Link.
The Emperor Social Link is unlocked automatically.
How to Start the Justice Social Link (Chihiro Fushimi)
How to Start the Social Link ASAP
The following day on 4/28, you will have some free time After Class. You'll want to go to the Student Council Room to find Chihiro Fushimi. You'll need to speak to her three times on three different days so that you can start the Justice Social Link.
If you want to unlock it as soon as possible, you'll want to speak to her three days in a row. You'll also want to choose your answers carefully. If you pick the wrong one, you'll have to try again the next day.
On the plus side, talking with Chihiro during After School hours doesn't waste Afternoon time , so you can speak to her, then rush off to work on other Social Links, raising Social Stats, etc.
Here's what you should choose when speaking to Chihiro:
Suggested Date | Best Responses | |
|---|---|---|
Day 1 | 4/28 |
|
Day 2 | 4/30 |
|
Day 3 | 5/2 |
|
If you speak to Chihiro immediately after unlocking the Emperor Social Link, then the earliest you can start the Justice Social Link (given you met the prerequisites) will be on 5/7. You won't see Chihiro from the third to the sixth of May due to Golden Week.

Best Answers for Justice Social Link
Before you spend time with Chihiro, it's advised that you have a Persona of the Justice Arcana in your lineup. This will add an extra point to the best answers, thus making it easier to Rank Up. Here are the Personas from the Justice Arcana:
- Angel
- Archangel
- Principality
- Virtue
- Robin Hood (DLC only)
- Dominion
- Throne
- Loki (DLC only)
Angel is one of the first Persona you'll get from Shuffle Time in Tartarus. She's level 4 , and therefore one of the cheaper Personas (2441 yen) to summon in the Velvet Room. Make sure she's in your team before speaking to Chihiro.
Rank 1
You'll automatically unlock Rank 1 after you've spoken with Chihiro three days in a row (when she's available). On the third encounter, you'll want to choose/agree to "walk home together" so that you can formally unlock the Justice Social Link (Rank 1).
Since this rank is automatic, your choices won't give you any points, so choose whichever you want.
Rank 2
With a Persona of the Justice Arcana in your team, you will receive the following points for the best answer:
Question | Best Answer | Points (with matching Persona) | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"Sorry to drag you along while I go shopping." | Don't worry about it. | +3 | N/A |
"Um... Do you read much, [Protagonist]-san?" |

"Is it boring for you to hang around with, um... someone like me?" | I'm having fun. | +1 | N/A |
Rank 3
Question | Best Answer | Points (with matching Persona) | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"...Do they not know where they are!?" | They have no shame. | +1 | N/A |
"We should notify the student council president right away, and discuss this at our next meeting!" | I agree. | +1 | N/A |
Persona 3 Reload: Maya Social Link Guide (Hermit)
You don't need to meet someone to develop a connection with them, as Maya in Persona 3 Reload proves.

|---|---|---|---|
"[Protagonist]-san!" | [Any Answer] | +0 | N/A |
"Why am I still shaking?" | I'm here for you. | +3 | N/A |
Rank 5
You'll want to be careful with your answer in Rank 5. To avoid accidentally Reversing the Social Link, choose the following answers:
Question | Best Answer | Points (with matching Persona) | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"So, um... there was something I needed to you..." | I'm all ears. | +2 | N/A |
"Is she in love right now?!" | Yeah, she's in love. | +3 | N/A |
"Sorry for asking about such a weird topic." | Happy to help. | +2 | N/A |
If I make the wrong move here, I might upset her. | Hold her hand. | +3 | Choosing "Kiss her" will Reverse the Social Link, so you'll want to avoid that answer unless you want to Reverse it for whatever reason. |
Rank 6
Question | Best Answer | Points (with matching Persona) | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
"W-What should I do?" | Is it good? | +3 | N/A |

Rank 10
Since this is the last rank in the Justice Social Link, any answer you choose during Rank 10 won't matter. The scene/dialogue will also play out differently depending what you said in Rank 9. As a reward for completing the Justice Social Link, you'll receive the Shojo Manga key item. This will allow you to fuse Melchizedek, the Ultimate Persona of the Justice Arcana.
