- 0. The Fool
- Shinsuke has not established any notable Fool links.
- I. The Magician
- Shiki Ichimonji: Itsuka's boyfriend and author of the acclaimed shounen series Captain Rebellion. Shinsuke finds his exuberance endearing, and his valiance worthy of high respect. What Shinsuke likes best about his new friend, however, is the obvious love and devotion Shiki bears Itsuka, which became unusually apparent in their battle against Shadow Itsuka. Their Personae have also resonated, leading to Shinsuke's even more pronounced loyalty to the begoggled former mangaka. Only time will tell if the boys themselves will become as dear to one another as their Personae are.
- II. The High Priestess
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Priestess links.
- III. The Empress
- Mitsuru Kirijo: The leader of SEES made a deep impression on the newest recruit when they were properly introduced; Shinsuke himself was struck by her presence, but Kay immediately recognized her as a worthy queen. Because of this, Shinsuke has taken to referring to Mitsuru as "Kirijo-sama" or "my lady", treating her with the proper deference (which is partially supernaturally-influenced) and respect due a queen from a knight in her service. He intends to prove his combat utility to her soon so that he will be assigned to the strike force against Shadow Itsuka, to which end she will arrange a test for him. Shinsuke has also been hugged by Mitsuru. He has been informed that this is outside standard operating procedure.
- IV. The Emperor
- Akatsuki Enda: Though he will only admit it to his sister, Shinsuke is fascinated by the blond Gekkoukan graduate. Inexplicably (and aggravatingly), Akatsuki has somehow become the only person to completely bypass the barriers Shinsuke uses to keep others at arm's length, and because of this has earned the trust Shinsuke rarely gives anyone, let alone someone he's known for all of a month. He hopes to spend more time with Akatsuki, with the expectation that further observation and interaction will show him why he trusts Akatsuki so much -- why the older boy possesses this ability to brush up against the hedge around his heart, one which no one else has. Of course, given Akatsuki's antecedents, this may end up being somewhat dangerous.
- V. The Hierophant
- Shinjiro Aragaki: Also a Gekkoukan graduate, and Itsuka's most beloved senpai. That alone would give Shinsuke cause to hold the taciturn young man in high regard, but the glimpse of a tiny grimace of Shinjiro's when they were discussing the matter of one's control over one's Persona during Shinsuke's SEES application meeting has given him reason to further observe his senpai. This would certainly be a good idea for Shinsuke...except that he may not like what he finds out.
- VI. The Lovers
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Lovers links.
- VII. The Chariot
- Aigis: True to form, once Shinsuke learned that SEES' resident anti-Shadow tactical gynoid was, in fact, exactly that, he was instantly alright with her. It helped him immensely to know that her awkwardness, and his inability to read her, were the result of her inorganic nature, and he offered her his assistance as she integrates into human society -- especially important as she is now Gekkoukan Student Council President! More importantly, however, is that Aigis is the first and only person Shinsuke has discussed the matter of his parents' divorce with, judging that she wouldn't be likely to view it in the same stigmatised fashion that the average Japanese person might. (He was right, of course.) Shinsuke doesn't yet realise how much not talking about it has damaged him emotionally, and -- with any luck -- this encounter with Aigis will begin to help him open up in the ways he so very much needs.
- VIII. Justice
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Justice links.
- IX. The Hermit
- Kotone Nakamura: Shinsuke is the newest member of SEES, and yet he's already managed to perform a Daring Dark Hour Rescue courtesy of this adorable moeblob of a transfer student. He took a nasty hit protecting her, and carried her back to the SEES dorm when she proved too fatigued and traumatised to walk back herself -- like the Eclipse Squad was going to take her anywhere else! He'll keep an eye on her for now, and hopefully she'll be alright even if she doesn't awaken to her Persona and join SEES.
- X. The Wheel of Fortune
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Fortune links.
- XI. Strength
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Strength links.
- XII. The Hanged Man
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Hanged Man links.
- XIII. Death
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Death links.
- XIV. Temperance
- Hitoshi Taniguchi: For various reasons, Shinsuke does not have a very high opinion of Hitoshi. He won't do anything untoward to the boy should they be in the field together, but otherwise attempts to keep his interactions with Hitoshi to a minimum.
- XV. The Devil
- Itsuka Mizuhara: Shinsuke's twin sister, who is his elder by two minutes. They were inseparable as children, and when she was taken from his arms by their mother Shinsuke realized that he /hadn't/ been a good brother to her. He vowed to find her again, and when he did he would make up for whatever time they had lost and whatever wrongs he had done her. He loves her and is fiercely protective of her, but (unlike a certain other twin brother) he also wants his dear twin to be able to build healthy, positive relationships with the people around her. His main concern at the moment is ensuring that she's being strengthened and bolstered by her friends, and those that are exerting unhealthy influences on her...will be dealt with. Shinsuke is coming to terms with the fact that she is no longer automatically inferior to him, a fact that he welcomes. After all, if Itsuka is healthy, that frees her brother from some of the hardships that come of being her only source of love and devotion. This, he feels, is a good thing.
- XVI. The Tower
- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Tower links.
- XVII. The Star
- Hinata Itoh: Shinsuke encountered the youngest Itoh sister one day in the dorms, and was promptly charmed by her earnest and outgoing nature. He made her lunch and ascertained the nature of her relationship with his sister, which seems to be a good one. Hinata seems to think of him as a prince. She soon discovered that he can also bake cookies and dance, and has begun calling him 'Shinsuke-chan'. He appears to be okay with this. <3~ [2]

- Shinsuke has not developed any notable Moon links.
- XIX. The Sun
