Shinjiro is a selfless character. His faith is once again a topic of discussion for Persona 3 Reload fans, as you’ll wonder whether you can save Shinjiro during the storyline.

I didn’t play Persona 3‘s previous editions, with Reload my introduction to the legendary title. For this reason, searching if I could help Shinjiro and save his life yielded different results. While you could interfere and trigger a different ending for Shinjiro in Persona 3 Portable, not all the variants of the game share the same traits.

Is it possible to save Shinjiro in Persona 3 Reload?

No, you can’t save Shinjiro in Persona 3 Reload. No matter what you do, Shinjiro will sacrifice himself on Oct. 4 during the night. This aligns with the original title, and you can always carry a piece of him with you through a special Persona.

How to get the Hell Biker in Persona 3 Reload

You need to complete Shinjiro’s Linked Episodes to unlock Hell Biker in Persona 3 Reload. To start this Linked Episode, talk to Mitsuru (Empress) on Sept. 11.

After this conversation, you’ll need to speak to Shinjiro on Sept. 13 and 14. Return to Mitsuru on Sept. 15 and speak two more times with Shinjiro on Sept. 16 and Oct. 28. During these talks, you’ll get to know Shinjiro on a deeper level.

Social Links in Persona 3 Reload are a core part of the game, and you’ll find out more about characters by touching our entertaining backstories. I spend more time exploring social links after I get tired on the floors of Tartarus. The climb is an endurance test, but sometimes, you’ll only have a limited time to complete Social Links.
