Persona 3 Reload: Hidetoshi Odagiri (Emperor) Social Link choices guide
Many of the friendships in Persona 3 Reload are optional and missable, but the Hidetoshi Odagiri social link is one of the ones that you'll be starting regardless, as it's triggered automatically throughout story progression. If you choose to pursue the friendship deeply is up to you, however - and if you do, this Hidetoshi S-Link guide is here to help you do so without wasting a single precious in-game day.
As with the rest of the S-Links in Persona 3 Reload, we should note that the script, translation, and social link point gains and thresholds are different in this game to past versions of Persona 3. This means that this guide is exclusively for Reload - if you're playing older versions, check our P3 Portable Emperor guide. Otherwise, stick with us on this page, and don't forget we have guides like this for every social link in Persona 3 Reload, and a calendar-busting 100% Max Link walkthrough to peruse.
Hidetoshi S-Link Guide - Emperor (Persona 3 Reload)
Hidetoshi might seem a bit of a stuck-up square at first, but there's more to this guy than first meets the eye - though it'll only be revealed as you advance his S-Link. Like all of the other links in the game, giving the correct answers while hanging out will grant 'bonus points' to the hidden stat that defines your social link progress - and thereby help you to level up more quickly. This guide has all choices for all ranks of the Hidetoshi Odagiri S-Link - follow it to rank up fast, no fuss.
We've tried to keep spoilers to a minimum on this page. The point totals listed include the Arcana Bonus - which means for them to match up to your play-through, you should make sure you have an Emperor Persona in your current stock every time you hang out with Hidetoshi, as it maximizes your gains - a small price to pay for a quick trip to the Velvet Room.
