Persona 5 Royal Mishima confidant guide: Moon choices & answers

by RPG Site Staff on 20 January, 2020

Your life as a Phantom Thief in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal actually earns you a fan club - a phanclub, if you will - and the man behind that can actually become a good (if clueless) friend of the group through his very own cooperation - as the Yuuki Mishima confidant relationship. Mishima is filed under the Moon arcana in the Velvet Room, and carries relevant bonuses.

As always, this guide is here to help guide you through the process of ranking up your confidant relationship with Mishima as quickly as possible. If you need help with other characters, head on over to the full Persona 5 confidant guide, which is enormous.

Yuuki Mishima is a valuable ally, and his Persona 5 Confidant cooperation relationship carries some particularly strong rewards.

Yuuki Mishima Confidant Cooperation Guide - Moon (La Lune - XVIII)

Here it is - our guide to the Mishima confidant cooperation. As always, the numbers represent the boost to your hidden confidant relationship EXP stat - but this actually doesn't matter with Mishima, as he works a bit differently to the others. Mishima begins out progressing automatically on certain dates in line with the story, but even after that his leveling up is guaranteed.

You'll have to take time out to hang out with Mishima, but in order to level up his confidant relationship you'll also need to undertake requests in Mementos. Doing requests makes Mishima happy, and then the next time you see him youi'll be able to rank up. Basically, Mishima and his unlocks exist to encourage you to complete side quests.

Location & Days Mishima is available: Mishima can be found in Shibuya or in Shinjuku at night, any day of the week, including rainy days.
While Mishima's confidant cooperation is linked to side quests, the standard rules apply for the questions you can answer in conversation - some are worth more points to advance the relationship than others, and there is a point bonus if you have a Moon Persona in your stock to match his Arcana. All the point additions listed here are when you have a Moon Persona equipped.
