Persona 3 Reload Akinari answers and Sun Social Link guide

The striped man.

You could miss the Sun Social Link entirely, so we’ll guide you to the correct answers to give to Akinari, the Sun Arcana, and how to begin this Social Link in Persona 3 Reload.

Starting this Social Link will require you to rank up on another one, so you could easily forget this one exists. Here’s a guide to the Sun Social Link.

You’ll first need to start the Hanged Man (Maiko) Social Link and get that to Rank 3 to meet Akinari Kamiki. The next time you’ll see him will be on 8/9 at Naganaki Shrine on the bench by the playground. He’ll appear only on Sundays, so you should see him as often as you can.

Upon first seeing Akinari, he’ll mention he’s lost his red fountain pen. You can find this pen by talking to Koromaru at the Dorm who has already found it. Bring it back to Akinari and you’ll be able to start the Social Link.

Reminder: Bring along a Persona with the Sun Arcana to get bonus EXP.
