Social Link/Bunkichi and Mitsuko

This article covers information about the Hierophant Social Link, Bunkichi and Mitsuko, including events featured in Persona 3 and Persona 3 Portable.
The protagonist can start Bunkichi and Mitsuko's Social Link as early as April 25th. To initiate their Social Link, the protagonist must first talk to them until they mention a tree at Gekkoukan High School. Return to the school's 1F Laboratory Hallway and head through the 1F Corridor to find the tree. Examine it to obtain a Persimmon Leaf. Bring the Persimmon Leaf back to establish the Hierophant Social Link. They can be found during the day at Bookworms Used Books in the Iwatodai strip mall on every day but Sunday (every day but Monday in Portable and Reload).
Bunkichi and Mitsuko give the protagonist a Persimmon Fruit when the Social Link is maxed, which enables the fusion of Kohryu.
==Skills==
Unlike Persona 4 and Persona 5, advancing a character's Social Link in Persona 3 does not grant skills usable in battle. Instead, completing the Fool Social Link, SEES, grants various benefits and abilities.
