One of the main features of the new Persona series titles are the so-called Social Link, i.e. relationships with various characters within the game to which different tarot cards are associated.
Spending time with them will rank the associated Social Link, allowing us to obtain various bonuses useful for gameplay
In this guide we will explain how to easily advance the Social Link of the arcane Wheel of Fortune, associated with Naoto Shirogane.
Personal profile
Naoto Shirogane is a very young detective who will be assigned the case of the Inaba Serial Killer together with his colleagues Ryotaro Dojima and Tohru Adachi.
Discovering the mission of the protagonist Yu and the Investigation Team, he will decide to follow them and join Yasogami High like all the other members.
To find out more about the case, he will endanger himself, which will lead him to end up in the Midnight Channel, where he will discover his greatest insecurities, tied up for most of his work.
His appearance is easily recognized by a large blue detective hat he wears on his garment and the menswear he wears.
From a psychological point of view, the detective has several complexes: the first is related to his age. He is a year younger than the protagonist, yet he holds a very important position, despite being considered by the entire police body simply as a kid. By virtue of this, he speaks and acts in a detached and mature way, and has difficulty relating to others.
Another gigantic problem is his constant pretending to be of the opposite sex.
In fact, from a biological point of view, Naoto would be a female, but given her dream of becoming a detective and the extreme machismo that pervades the police, she found herself much more comfortable hiding her feminine characteristics completely. to try to be more accepted.
During her Social Link, the protagonist will help her to accept her true self, not to be crushed by the weight of the judgment of others and to continue in her dream, even if this is not accepted by those around her, except her friends, obviously.
In battle, he uses a pistol and harnesses the power of his Persona Yamato-Takeru.
Availability and location on the game map
You will find Naoto in one first floor class during the days of the week and in Samegawa Flood Plain during holidays and Sundays.
To start the Social Link, you will have to wait until October 21st. At this date, talk to Naoto, go north to the Shopping District and talk to the man near the Aiya store, selecting the first dialogue option that will be proposed to you (you must have maximized Knowledge).
Go back to school at this point and talk to Naoto (to unlock the first rank you will need to have Courage at maximum level).
You will have time until 27 November to maximize this Social Link.

Reaching rank 10 will also allow Naoto to transform his Persona Sukuna-Hikona into Yamato-Takeru, as well as unlocking the ability to obtain by merging Norn, the highest level Person in the arcane Wheel of Fortune.
Furthermore, if he speaks to him after 10/1 having maximized his Social Link, Yamato-Takeru will turn into Yamato Sumeragi, learning the one move in the process Shield of Justice, which protects the entire party from any source of damage for a single time.
