Yusuke Kitagawa Confidant Guide
The Emperor Confidant in Persona 5 Royal is Yusuke Kitagawa. The fusion of Odin can be unlocked by maxing out his Confidant. Near the end of the game, he will also give the player an item that, once Yusuke’s Confidant is unlocked in New Game Plus, will enable the player to duplicate Skill Cards.
When you take him to Shinagawa, that’s when he has his special hangout event.
Yusuke Kitagawa is accessible
Every day of the week during the Day cycle, one can spend time with Yusuke. Yusuke is available Day or Night on days when it’s raining. Most of the time, he is in the Shibuya Underground Station.
