As a dedicated gamer, I found that climbing to the highest rank with Shinya Oda isn’t just about pressing buttons; it’s about choosing the right words and finding him at his preferred hangouts on the days he’s most likely to be there.

It takes a lot of time, but it’s undeniably rewarding because he possesses exceptional skills, particularly in dealing with gunfire and incapacitating opponents.

This manual provides comprehensive information on the character Confidant Shinya Oda, detailing his advantages, as well as suggesting the most effective dialogue choices for engaging with him.

Confidant Benefits

Shinya Oda’s Social Link grants special skills centered around rifle assaults. Features such as a higher chance of causing status ailments with rifled bullets, the capability to fire Down Shot thrice, and disregarding all resistance while wielding Joker’s gun are among them.

Familiarize yourself with Shinya Oda’s Confidant skills as depicted in the table below, along with the level needed to access each one.

All Social Link Ranks

On September 4th, Shinya Oda will be accessible, and that’s when Mishima sends a message to the protagonist regarding a side mission titled “Winners don’t rely on shortcuts.” During this side mission, you’ll encounter Shinya Oda for the first time and achieve the initial rank with him.

On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after school hours, you can locate Shinya Oda at the Shibuya Arcade. Furthermore, he is often found at the arcade on Saturdays during daylight hours, or when it’s raining outside.

If Shinya Oda is part of the Tower Arcana group, it’s beneficial for you to develop a Tower Character. Creating a Tower Character will grant you extra points when interacting with Shinya, and the figures in this guide demonstrate this advantage.

Rank 1

Shinya Oda’s Rank 1 starts on September 4th and can be achieved during the “Winners don’t use cheats” side mission. This first rank depicts Shinya instructing Joker on how to play a classic arcade shooter, ultimately strengthening their friendship.

Finishing at the top position alongside Shinya Oda grants you access to the “Down Shot” skill. This skill enables you to bring down an opponent with a powerful, unique strike, limited to one use during each mission.

Here are the best dialogue choices for rank 1 with Shinya Oda:

Rank 2

In their second turn at the arcade shooter game together, Shinya and Joker found themselves competing again. As the game progressed, Shinya grew progressively irritated with Joker, as he struggled to match Shinya’s skill level.

Shinya confides in Joker, expressing his deep respect for the Phantom Thieves and his aspiration to become as powerful as they are someday.

Finishing the level 2 alongside Shinya Oda will grant you access to the “Bullet Hail” skill, which offers a possibility of launching a full-blown firearm assault following a successful sneak attack.

Rank 3

Rather than teaching Joker through an arcade game, Shinya opts for dinner instead, using the opportunity to deliver a talk. It’s during this meal that Shinya shares his personal struggles, revealing he has been a victim of bullying at school and is in conflict with a gang of classmates.

Finishing Rank 3 with Shinya Oda grants access to the “Intimidating Blast” skill. This skill enables you to intimidate adversaries during negotiations, making it less challenging to acquire a Persona.

Rank 4

Rank 4 delves deeper into Shinya’s ongoing battles against bullying, and he uses the metaphor of a war that continues. Suddenly, a familiar figure emerges, Takekuma, who is a skilled gamer. He extends an unexpected friendship offer to Shinya.

Shinya challenges Takekuma to a match to prove his worth, which he eventually ends up losing.

We have the best dialogue options for you to pick in this scenario in the grid below.

Rank 5

Shinya Oda discusses with Joker his lingering disappointment from their previous match against Takekuma and his suspicion that Takekuma employs an unfair advantage, or “cheat armor,” to secure victories. Even though he currently feels disheartened, Shinya remains optimistic that they’ll emerge victorious in their next encounter.

Finishing level 5 alongside Shinya Oda grants access to the “Laced Bullets” skill. This distinctive skill enhances the likelihood of causing an illness with each fired bullet.

Here are the dialogue options you should pick for the highest points in rank 5:

Rank 6

In a turn of events, six individuals, who seemed to be strangers to Shinyy, approached him and demanded the return of some money. It was later disclosed that Shinyy had tricked one of his younger classmates into playing an arcade game with him. When the young lad predictably lost, Shinyy pocketed the money instead of returning it as agreed.

It appears that the boys have been using unkind phrases regarding Shinya’s mother and her behavior, suggesting she may be acting aggressively. Such remarks could point to difficulties or issues Shinya might be facing within his household.

Finishing rank 6 alongside Shinya Oda grants you access to the “Quick Strike” ability, enabling you to perform three Down Shots during each stealth mission.

Rank 7

At the seventh stage, we delve deeper into Shinya’s strained relationship with his mother. Surprisingly, the boy from the arcade, whom Shinyy had earlier stolen money from, appeared at his home accompanied by his own mother, aiming to find a resolution.

Rather than listening to them, Shinya’s mom essentially pushes them away by demanding they depart. Her behavior towards him is becoming increasingly unsettling.

Make sure you pick the best dialogue options for rank 7 by checking out the grid below.

Rank 8

At rank 8, the Joker presents Shinya Oda with a business card. However, this isn’t an ordinary business card; it depicts Shinya’s mother. This subtle hint suggests that the Phantom Thieves plan to influence Shinya’s mother’s emotions or feelings in some way.

Finishing at rank 8 alongside Shinya Oda grants you access to the Electric Slug ability. This ability enhances the damage caused by Bullet Hail.

The grid below has the best dialogue options to pick in rank 8 with Shinya Oda.

Rank 9

The ninth rank indicates that the Phantom Thieves accomplished their mission of transforming Shinya’s mother’s feelings, as she has been showing a more affectionate demeanor recently. Delighted by this change, Shinya appears to be in high spirits.

Here are the best dialogue options to pick in rank 9 with Shinya Oda:

Rank 10

In simpler terms, the last round depicts Joker and Shinya enjoying a game at the arcade side by side. It’s fortunate that Shinya appears more composed and less confrontational compared to earlier rounds, which might be attributed to his mother showing him more kindness lately.

In the replay of the arcade shooting game, we see Shinya competing against Takekuma again. But this time, it’s Shinya who emerges victorious!

Finishing the game alongside Shinya Oda will grant you access to the “Oda Special” skill. This exclusive skill lets Joker bypass resistances when firing his weapons, ensuring a direct hit on the enemy.
