"...According to the reports, it seems that your skill at handling a gun is quite impressive. Either you taught yourself... or you had a capable coach by your side... Where did you learn how to handle a gun!?" —
Sae Niijima interrogating the protagonist about Shinya Oda.
This article covers information about the Tower Confidant Shinya Oda Persona 5 Persona 5 Royal
The protagonist can start Shinya's Confidant as early as September 5th. As part of the "Winners Don't Use Cheats" request , after learning the identity of the cheater from the patrons of the arcade on Central Street in Shibuya , the Phantom Thieves must face the cheater in Mementos , which can be done as early as September 4th. When it becomes apparent that the party won't be able to harm the cheater's Shadow , they retreat to discuss strategy. After a conversation revealing that someone at another arcade would be able to beat the cheater, the protagonist can find Shinya at the arcade in Akihabara . Shinya will agree to help the protagonist if he introduces Shinya to the Phantom Thieves. Following this, the protagonist must talk to Futaba Sakura on the backstreets of Yongen-Jaya during the day to deliver a message to Shinya. The next interaction with Shinya will start the Confidant.
Progressing Shinya's Confidant will also improve the protagonist's Kindness .
Completing Shinya's Confidant enables the fusion of Mada . He also gives the protagonist a Gun Controller New Game Plus .
