How to unlock the Through Thick and Thin achievement in Persona 3 Reload - Definitive Guide
New to Persona 3 in Persona 3 Reload are the Theurgy attacks, which are signature attacks that can be unleashed when you’ve filled a character’s Theurgy gauge. Also new to Persona 3 thanks to Reload are evening events at the student dorms that are introduced on Tuesday 16th June. While they’re not necessarily linked… bear with us, and we’ll get to why they are…
These evening events involve doing an activity with a teammate. They can be cooking in the kitchen, watching a DVD, reading a book or gardening with a friend. If you do enough of these activities with one person (like watching 3 DVDs with Yukari), you’ll unlock a “Combat Characteristic” - which is a bonus passive effect that, in the case of Yukari, directly ties into her Theurgy skill.
So, for instance… Yukari fills her Theurgy gauge quicker when she performs healing actions. With the Combat Characteristic for watching 3 DVDs with her (or cooking 3 times), she becomes a “Healing Master,” and as a result it reduces the SP cost of recovery skills to 50% of their normal cost. Thus, meaning it takes less SP to boost her Theurgy gauge.
Of course, the effects of each character’s Combat Characteristics differs from each character to the next, but this becomes essential for making Yukari incredibly more efficient.
Simply unlock one Combat Characteristic and the ‘Through Thick and Thin’ achievement is all yours. As is a powerful ally trait. Not bad, eh?

In the evening in the hostel you can see above the character , we approach him and agree to spend time reading/watching DVDs/cooking/gardening
PS I don’t know if this is a bug or how it should be, but after watching the film with Koromaru for the first time, I accidentally loaded an earlier save, and after watching it again, I was protected from the second of three viewings. Perhaps you can unlock a character's ability this way in one day.
