Persona 3 Portable: Kazushi (Chariot) social link choices guide

Physical Education is a natural part of the school curriculum, and so it’s no surprise that in Persona 3 Portable there’s a social link storyline connected to athletics classes - and for the male protagonist, that’s the Chariot S-Link with Kazushi Miyamoto.

The two core benefits of leveling up the Chariot S-Link with Kazushi are the same as any other - it’ll reveal more of this character’s unique storyline, and also grant bonus EXP for better results when fusing Chariot Arcana Persona. Ranking up fast is key to maximizing your use of the Persona 3 in-game calendar - and this game will help you to do that.

Kazushi Miyamoto S-Link Guide - Chariot

The Kazushi Chariot Social Link in Persona 3 Portable is exclusive to the male protagonist. Here's how to quickly navigate this story of a struggling athlete.

Completing at least a couple of ranks of the Persona 3 Portable Kazushi Miyamoto social link is important, as if nothing else it also leads to another S-Link storyline that you’ll likely want to engage with - one that leads to a romance. Both of these character S-Links are exclusive to the male protagonist, too.

If you're playing Persona 3 Reload instead of P3 Portable or FES, you'll want the P3 Reload version of this guide - this page you're on is optimized for the older versions of the game.

Hanging out with Kazushi will gradually contribute towards raising your S-Link rank, but you can speed up the rank up progress by saying things that Kazushi likes. That’s what this social link guide does - helps you to make the right choices to maximize how quickly you rank up.

To be clear, dialogue choices not listed here have no bonus points, meaning you can pick whatever option you like. If the points we note aren’t the same as what you’re getting, please make sure you’re getting the Arcana bonus points before running to yell in the comments. To do that, make sure to have a Chariot Arcana Persona with you whenever spending time with Kazushi.

  • Kazushi is available to spend time with on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday daytimes. He’s found in the 1F Classroom at Gekkoukan High School.

The Male Protagonist will be able to start this Arcana Social Link with Kazushi on 4/23, and it’ll occur naturally as part of the game’s progression, when you join either of the two athletics clubs you’re faced with. The female protagonist doesn’t get this S-Link, and instead has the Chariot Link with Rio Iwasaki, detailed elsewhere in this sprawling Persona 3 Portable Social Link guide.
