it's interesting how goro akechi also has the wild card ability, but only has two personas. and I think its kind of weird how that seems to lead a lot of people to believe that that is the case because he is isn't close to anyone, so he never formed any social links. meaning he can't fuse new personas

but that can't be the case since joker can fuse personas of arcanas he hasn't met yet. confidants only come into play regarding that arcana's fusion strength and unlocking the final form persona by entering a blood oath.

and i bet the reason he hadn't accepted the personas he found in palaces into himself is because he never knew that was even an option

my personal theory on why goro never fused any new personas is that he never had access to the velvet room. he never met "igor" and never had attendants to guide him. he was unable to fuse or be given extra slots for personas because those are both abilities given to you in the velvet room.

during his boss fight, when goro explains about discovering the cognitive world, he's really vague about how he got his powers. the way he says it makes it seem like he doesn't even know who gave them to him, which makes me think he never had igor or anyone guiding him

i'm just curious why goro only has two personas and why he wouldn't have thought to fuse more. i hope we'll get more info in p5r! and i doubt it'll happen, but i think it'd be cool for goro to get more personas and be able to welcome them into his heart when you add him to your team post-reveal :o

addition: unrelated, but contrary to what most people think, i think goro does have social links with people aside from joker (tho that's his most precious one ofc♡). like with sae and shido for example. we've seen that confidants don't need to be close, or even honest. they seem to just be born from understanding someone, so i feel like it would make more sense in the in-game mechanics that goro had social links
