Futaba Sakura Confidant Guide
Futaba Sakura is the Hermit Confidant in Persona 5 Royal. She is also a romanceable character. Maxing out her Confidant unlocks the fusion of Ongyo-Ki. The player will also receive an item from her near the end of the game which will unlock the abilities “Treasure Reboot” and “Mementos Scan” once Futaba's Confidant is unlocked in New Game Plus.
