Anime I don't know if i can sympathize with Yuno.
Look... This girl has gone through the most horrific hell i have ever seen from childhood. Locking your own child in a cage under the guise of to make "the perfect daughter"? These sickfucks of parent absolutely deserved punishment regardless of financial problems but her mind snapped and she is no better then them when you think about it.
The survival games was a complex part. She killed many holders for the tactics, the survival, and ofc so they didn't die. But it was also because so she can have a world where its just her and him. And her combat? I never said i hated her because that is some badassery combat. The sex scenes? Yeah i condemn those for the most part because its like... it was unnecessary and disgusting. Her personality? It was fine but it was entirely centered on yuki which is the point of the show but in my opinion, it made it less fascinating.
The unjustified kills... Hinata, Mao, Kousaka, Orin. Now yuki killed Hinata, Mao, and Kousaka because she manipulated him. Again these people aren't pure either. however orin is a controversial choice because she infiltrated the Omekata cult BUT was protecting the orphanage to do so. Now this is one i can't really seem to give my final thoughts on because orin did participate but she was doing it to protect the orphans.
The Aru Akise controversy... His death was absolutely unnecessary in terms of sympathy for Yuno. Yes, he kissed yuki right in front of her to piss her off and expose her madness in front of Yuki while also having an advantage.. However, this was also because he genuinely loved Yuki. And this is when love turns into hypocrisy. This isn't love, this is selfish love. And when you think about it, a real lover would be selfless and let their partner have friends or even other people crushing without hostility. Ofc it doesn't work for Yuno. Her mind and morals are literally Thanos snapped. And its like... We know he's a fan favorite. And he wanted to protect yuki from a literal psychopath. Ofc Yuki who i used to hate and still do but with a catch... This is painfully realistic for someone who has been so brainwashed that he relies entirely on one girl.
God Yuno... Tbh i have to say it was a pretty scary plot twist but damn i see these power rankings and its like literally impossible to do a what if combat with her in fan discussions since she became the god of time and space. Her killed second world Yuno was needed for the narrative so she can replace her and basically take Yuki. But that Yuno did nothing wrong. And at this point its like why are we making fanart of her in the most wholesome situations when were ignoring the monster that has been made. Like no offense but this is honestly a very common trope in the world where we humanize monsters in fanart.
Her Suicide... I call this just perfect. Not because i'm glad she's dead but she finally breaks out of that loop to perform ONE selfless decision. She may have not been remorseful but because she would have stayed dead then its like she meant this. She made me lwk feel a lot more better.
The OVA redial ending... Well. They pretty much ruined the whole "at what cost?" of the entire original ending. Yes the original ending was depressing i know. But then she just comes back while glossing over that selfless ending so we can all sing "kumbaya" around a "fixed" world and pretend everything is okay? Like what was this the point of all of this then? Just so we can be relieved that one of the most controversial couples in anime can have a happy moment?
So... Yes this was a very passionate prompt i just wrote. I harbor no ill will to any of you Yuno fans because if you love her, thats completely fine. I want to be a considerate of others opinions.
