Here is our Emperor Social Link Guide for the Student Council (Hidetoshi Odagiri) in Persona 3 Portable. The guide includes the dialogue options, his available days, and more.

This guide may contain spoilers, so do be careful.

It is important to note that this guide is for Persona 3 Portable, which originally came out in 2010 and received a remaster for modern platforms in 2023. The Social Link Guide for Emperor in Persona 3 Reload is a different guide altogether.

Persona 3 Portable Student Council (Hidetoshi Odagiri) Emperor Social Link Guide

You can find him during the day in the Student Council Room of Gekkoukan on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. After January 25, however, he becomes available the whole week except on Sundays. Unlike Persona 4 and 5, the Protagonist does not get additional skills during battle. If you do max his Social Link, however, you will receive the Cheap Lighter, which allows the fusion of Odin.
