Welcome to NGB and our Persona 3 Reload Chariot Social Link guide. Here we’ll cover how to start the Chariot Social Link along with what you’ll need to do to increase its rank and the correct answers to the questions asked by Kazushi Miyamoto. Reaching rank 10 will reward you with the Sports Tape item which give you access to the Chariot rank 10 perks in a new game plus run. You’ll also be able to fuse the Thor persona.
How to Start the Chariot Social Link
In order to start the Chariot Social Link, you’ll need to join the track team at Gekkoukan High School. This becomes available on Thursday 4/23. After that date hits, you’ll just need to make your way to the Practice Field down the Gym Hallway. Interact with the doors and you’ll then be prompted to join the Track Team. Say yes to trigger an event where you’ll meet team manger Yuko Nishiwaki and the future captain, Kazushi Miyamoto. When it concludes, you’ll unlock Rank 1 of the Chariot Social Link.
How to Rank Up the Chariot Social Link
In order to rank up the Chariot Social Link, you’ll need to spend time with Miyamoto and the track team. You can do this by attending track practice on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Speak with Miyamoto in your classroom or head to the Practice Field to start practice. Keep in mind that there will be no practice on the days before a test. Another thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have a Chariot Persona on you while attending practice. This will net you extra increases to Kazushi’s affinity that will help you rank up much faster.
Day Off Invite
On days off from school, Miyamoto might message the Protag asking to hang out. If you agree to it, then you’ll have a chance to deepen your relationship with him.
| Questions | Answers |

| That way, I’m ready to go 24/7, y’know? That’s real dedication, man. | Impressive. |
| I’m trying to cut down on carbs. | Are you on a diet? |
| Man, why do I even bother anymore? What’s the point of going through all this pain just to win…? | That’s just who you are. |
Rank 1
Rank 1 of the Chariot Social Link is unlocked automatically after you obtain the social link.
Rank 2
This will be first track team practice that the Protag attends. You’ll make some small talk with Miyamoto who will have a couple of chances for you to respond to him. Only the first one results in affinity points. Feel free to choose which ever options you fancy for the other two.
When track practice ends, you’ll run into Yuko at her locker. Speak with her then ask if she wants to walk home with you. Being Rank 2 for the Chariot Social Link will cause her to say yes. This will then lead to an event where you’ll obtain the Strength Social Link.

Rank 4
Miyamoto is acting weird and tells you to go onto practice without him. You’ll quickly notice that he ended up skipping practice. On the way back to the dorm, you’ll run into our good buddy looking a bit depressed. The first option doesn’t matter as it doesn’t reward any affinity, but the second one does. Check the table below for the correct response.
