SCARLET NEXUS

Bond Episodes are special events involving main characters from the game. Usually they are side stories where the team members interact with your character in some way ultimately forming a deeper bond and connection with you. Both Yuito and Kasane have their own Bond Episodes with each team member so you will have to view them all during your playthroughs of each character. Bond Episodes always appear progressively throughout the story during the Standby Phases. You know a character has a Bond Episode if you approach them and they have a pink link chain icon above them. For an easier time I recommend doing them as they pop up because they help increase the Bond Levels with your team members which can lead to better SAS effects. Bond Episodes are not missable though, so you can go back and do them if you happen to miss any. Also keep in mind that certain characters initiate Bond Episodes through Brain Messages which is accessed by pressing +. Messages for a Bond Episode will also have a pink link chain icon next to them. Yuito's story features 5 Bond Episodes for Kasane, Hanabi, Gemma, Luka, and Tsugumi, and 4 Bond Episodes for Shiden, Kyoka, Kagero, and Arashi. Kasane's story features 5 Bond Episodes for Yuito, Shiden, Kagero, Kyoka, and Arashi, and 4 Bond Episodes for Hanabi, Luka, Gemma, and Tsugumi. For a majority of the Bond Episode trophies, you will obtain them after viewing all of their Bond Episodes in both Yuito's story AND Kasane's story. The exceptions are the trophies related to the Bond Episodes for Yuito and Kasane themselves.

As a small note: Team Bond Episodes are not required for any trophies.
