Characteristic: Auto Bolster
Shinjiro's ATK and DEF will be buffed at the start of battles, enabling him to get up close and personal with enemies as soon as battles commence.
Characteristic Evolution: Auto Heat Riser
Instead of just his ATK and DEF, all of Shinjiro's stats will now be buffed at the start of battles, making him an even more efficient damage dealer capable of scoring Critical Hits and evading incoming attacks more often.
How to Start Shinjiro's Social Link
Only Available for the Female Protagonist in P3P
You can only start Shinjiro's Social Link if you chose the female protagonist in Persona 3 Portable. If you chose the male protagonist, the Hierophant Social Link will be Bunkichi and Mitsuko, the elderly couple that owns the bookstore at the Iwatodai Strip Mall.
Since the male Protagonist is the only one in Persona 3 Reload, a Social Link with Shinjiro is not possible. However, your friendship as well as his character will grow on their own as you progress through the story.

Can You Save Shinjiro?
Since you can only choose the male protagonist in Persona 3 Reload, he has his fate sealed and you cannot save him. Despite this, you can still spend time with him during his linked episodes to explore his character.
Can You Romance Shinjiro?
You Cannot Romance Shinjiro
Shinjiro is not a romanceable option in Persona 3 Reload. He is, however, available as a romanceable option for the female protagonist in Persona 3 Portable.
