Well, since it's pointless to go into the dungeon again until Naoto wakes up, they will probably Social Link some more.

Provided that they know it's pointless.

"Kanji gave the boy what appears to be a bunny doll." - Does it look like the dude in the bunny suit from Donnie Darko?  And Kanji's wrong about sewing not being helpful.  It helped the citizens of Santo Pulco defeat the evil El Guapo.

And nice GI Joe reference, Jeff.

Is this the 1,051st video that has been uploaded to GiantBomb? That seems mathematically significant somehow. Or.. wait, maybe that's 1054. Or, 1044? No, that's the battle of Hastings. No, wait, Hastings was 1066.
Ah, 1024, that's it, 1024! That's the number.
...We passed that already.

Haha, I wonder if they are going to add Rise to their harem even though they obviously despise her. You know you can be "just friends" and still get rank 10. :p

But I guess laughing at the awkward romance s.link 10s is pretty amusing.

Good to see the community helping out in little ways (like telling them that it pointless to enter the TV until Naoto has recovered). Gonna have to be carefull though when it comes to decisions that effect the ending but the way the game hides the true ending is pretty cheap. Also I used Naoto as soon as could and thought she was by far the best non-main character to fight with. Medigola  (or whatever Almighty damage to all is) is hella usefull.

In order to get the cute fish, you need to:

1. Go the nightclub dungeon. There is now a yellow chest on the third floor, containing a Firuma Onko
2. Give the Firuma Onko to the fox (this will end the day)
3. Talk to Nanako, she will tell you that something "fishy" is going on in the hospital
4. You will find a special ema request there, telling you the "stuff" is ready
5. Return to the shrine. Fox will give you a pipe and a piece of white rock
6. Go to the kitchen. You will be asked if you really want to inhale the "strange white stuff". Do it.
7. Nanako will start to spin, vomit and eventually change into Fox
8. Fox will hand you a goldfish
9. Outside, a hand will grab your ankle, pulling you into the earth, along with the Dojimas' house
10. You will wake up on your futon, the goldfish in your hand.
11. Talk to the goldfish. It'll tell you that it's really cute and very elaborate
12. Turn the controller upside down twice

Indeed. I guess the developers designed this quest as a friendly nod to the Zelda crowd, like they did with the watermellons (clearly a reference to Dead Space).

If you want to catch cutefish(goldfish),make sure the vibrations of your controller are weak and the time interval between two vibrations is not long,less than 0.2 seconds.If vibrations are stronger and time interval between 2 vibrations are longer,you will catch larger fish.Goldfish can be caught whether on sunny or rainy days.For huge fish,vibrations are stronger than usual,time interval between 2 vibrations is about 1 second and must be in rainy day.

If you don't know what to do, you can always fuse Personas for Margret. It does not cause you to "spend time".
Here's a list. Note that you might want to NOT register certain Personas, since you might have better ones. You need to level some, but if you try to fuse the "ingredient" personas at a high enough SLINK should surface for most. If not, it can be a nice break during "Fusing" episodes when you're back inside the TV. (After you fuse the persona, exit and enter the velvet room again to SLINK up and get the new request)

LVL1 - Ippon-Datara (lvl 17) with Sukukaja
Temperance Sylph (Sukukaja) + Sun Cu Sith

LVL2 - Matador (lvl 24) with Mahama
Tripple: Justice Power (Mahama) + Emperor Oberon + Priestess Saki Mitama
LVL3 - Gdon (lvl 31) with Rampage

Death Matador (Rampage at 27) + Hermit Ippon-datara (Rampage at 21) (you get both from previous fuses. I hope at least one levels enough...)

LVL4 - Neko-shogun (lvl 32) with Bufula
1) Emperor King Frost (Bufula) + Magician Hua Po = Strength Kusi Mitama (Bufula)
2) Chariot Ara Mitama + Strength Kusi Mitama (Bufula) + Priestess Saki Mitama + Temperance Nigi Mitama

LVL5 - Black Frost (lvl 38) with Auto-Sukukaja
1) Hierophant Anzu (Auto-Sukukaja at lvl 20) + Temperance Apsaras/Sylph = Magician Jack Frost (Auto-Sukukaja)
2) Magician Pyro Jack + Magician Jack Frost (Auto-Sukukaja) + Emperor King Frost + Magician Pixie + Death Ghoul

LVL6 - Yatagarasu (lvl 40) with Megido
1) Tower Tao Tie (Megido) + Sun Cu Sith = Chariot Ares (Megido)
2) Chariot Ares(Megido) + Fool Black Frost (use the trash one you made...)

LVL7 - Yatsufusa (lvl 49) with Mediarama
1) Moon Alraune (Mediarama) + Chariot Triglav = Sun Narasimha (Mediarama)
2) Emperor Thoth + Hanged man Orthrus + Hanged man Makami + Sun Narasimha (Mediarama) + Hermit Mothman

LVL8 - Ganesha (lvl 50) with Tetrakarn
Fool Decarabia (Tetrakarn) + Tower Cu Chulainn

LVL9 - Trumpeter (lvl 67) with Mind Charge
Death Matador + Death White Rider + Hierophant Daisoujou + Emperor Pabilsag + Hanged Man Taowu + Tower Tao Tie (Mind Charge at 38)

Also one fusing mini tip:
Fusing 2 Persona of the same Arcana will produce a lower class Persona of the same Arcana.
Fusing 3 Persona of the same Arcana will produce a higher class Persona of the same Arcana.
There's more to it then that, but it's a generalization that works more often then not. Useful if you're missing some Persona later and want to make it quick.

Excellent run today.
The fishing game in P4 really is a pain in the ass...
But, seriously. You guys have gotten really good at this game!
If you get in the top 10 rank on the test next time, much respect to you.
Please attempt to get Nanako to rank 10, because you'll get a good item, and a good persona!

If you want to S. Link with Naoto later on you need to max out your knowledge and courage, so focus on those first.

I hate fishing. It's like the dumbest thing you can do in this game. I stopped doing Fox's quest because I got to that part and I was like "No, not happening."

As for Dead Space Watermelons... at a certain part in the game you meet up with your best buddy Hammond in Hydroponics sitting down across from a watermelon growing tank. It's totally unremarkable... except Hammond is black... so many people like to think its a subtle/blatant jab at old stereotypes. But that's that anyway.
