Persona 3 Portable Junpei Guide

Who is Junpei in Persona 3 Portable?

Junpei is a student at Gekkoukan High School and a member of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. His Arcana is the Magician and his main Persona is Hermes.

He fancies himself a ladies’ man and frequently tries to hit on girls, with little to no success. Despite this, he is capable of being kind and caring, and he often cracks jokes and calls people “dudes” to make them feel better. Players can interact with Junpei on April 23rd of the game during the day at the 1F Classroom of Gekkoukan.

Junpei Social Link in Persona 3 Portable

Junpei usually is available during the day from Tuesday to Thursday at the 1F Classroom of Gekkoukan. If players maxed out their social link with him, Junpei will give the protagonist a Pig Key Holder which enables the fusion of Surt.

Interacting with her with the right conversation choices will improve his relationship and increase his social link. Below are conversations and choices that players should use for Junpei’s social link:
