Future Diary/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness|Dull Eyes of Psychosis]] In episode 11 of the anime when {{spoiler|she and Yukki are taken into the police station for questioning her eyes go dull when she decides to try to find a weapon}}.

* [[Elevator Snare]]: In their first meeting, Yuno forces her way into an elevator, corners the terrified Yuki, and then gives him his [[First Kiss]]. Cue the [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]], at least for Yuki.

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Much like [[Darkstalkers|B.B. Hood/ Bulleta]], Yuno goes from squeaky and adorable to guttural and menacing whenever she's incredibly pissed.

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Uses it to impress Yukiteru's mother. How feminine she is is up for debate though, considering {{spoiler|her fallback plan if that didn't work was to use her "tools."}}

* {{spoiler|[[Future Me Scares Me]]: After being rebuked by her past self in the third world, Yuno actually starts shaking once she realizes how much she had changed when she lost all of her hope for the future, and seriously looks frightened at what she's become, having a minor [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Gas Chamber]]: In a surprising change from the manga, Yuno traps Akise, Mao and Kosaka in a room which is filling with gas. In the manga, she filled it with concrete.}}

** She is most commonly portrayed with the axe that she wields in the battle against Number 6, though.

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: throughout the series but is most impressive in {{spoiler|episode 22}} also including a {{spoiler|[[Batman Gambit]].}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her full name can be read as "my wife Yuno". Seeing as Yukiteru is named for Jupiter though, the kanji for Yuno's given name is really "Juno" read as Yuno (In central European languages the letter J is pronounced like what Y is pronounced in English), so even more fittingly for Yukiteru, is the reading "my wife, Juno". Which is fitting, because Juno, just like her Greek-counterpart Hera, can get mad easily at anyone that stole Jupiter/Zeus' love, and will chase them down to the end of Earth (Then there's the fact that Juno is a war goddess too)

* [[Not Good with Rejection]]: And HOW.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Though there were earlier hints, [[Fridge Logic]] tells you she has been displaying this the entire story. {{spoiler|We find out she has played the survival game through before, so either she pretends not to know, or has [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|repressed it]] completely.}}

* [[Pants-Free]]: Yuno seems especially fond of this when there is an unconscious Yuki around.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Combination of types C and D.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* {{spoiler|[[Self-Made Orphan]]}}

** [[Justified]] in that Yuno {{spoiler|[[Deconstruction|really has nothing in her life outside of Yukiteru.]]}} He is the only thing that keeps her relatively balanced most of the time.

* [[Sidekick Ex Machina]]

** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]

** [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]]: Made much more apparent in the anime during her crazier moments.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Polar opposite of Yukki, in that her diary is almost completely useless except when paired with Yukki's, she is actually one of the strongest fighters. The only ones shown to best her in combat being {{spoiler|Sevenths and Akise.}}

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: {{spoiler|Subverted in the later chapters when she becomes Yukiteru's enemy. She [[Zig-Zagging Trope|doubles back]] on that after she kills herself instead of him, though.}}

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: She gets called out by Yuki all the time, but especially for {{spoiler|kidnapping him and keeping him locked up for a week to "protect" him.}}

** Bonus points for ''actually'' being named after the most yandere goddess, Juno.

* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Every time she and Yuki look like their relationship is going somewhere, fate always barges in.

* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Apparently the costume he wears is not only bulletproof but somehow also ''bombproof''. {{spoiler|This comes in handy when Minene attacks him in ''Mosaic'', as she quickly learns that [[Throw Down the Bomblet|her usual battle tactics]] are useless against him.}}

* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: The kanji in his last name, Hiyama, is read as "volcano". The Roman god in the Dii Consentes that he is associated with? Vulcan.

* [[Berserker Tears|Angry Tears]]: {{spoiler|Tsubaki cries these when her diary is destroyed in the manga right after she sees her old handball.}}

** [[Tears of Remorse]]: What they are in the anime.

* [[Broken Bird]]

* {{spoiler|[[Cry for the Devil]]}}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Long black hair reaching her hips.

** All the way down to her feet [http://www.future-diary.tv/chara/6th.html in the anime].

** Even more tragic is the fact that {{spoiler|in Paradox it's revealed that her parents were actually about to disband the cult in order to let Tsubaki lead a normal life. However, the second-in-command Funatsu wasn't having any of that, so he offed Tsubaki's parents before they could do so, trapping her in the cult as a sex slave.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]: Yuno chops off her left hand, therefore she can't handle the heavy "Thousand Leagues Eyes Diary" and is open for Yukki's definitive attack with his darts.}}

* [[Harmless Villain]]: She doesn't want to win the game, and relatively speaking she hasn't shown herself to be nearly as crazy or murderous as the other Diary Holders.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kamado can mean "hearth", which is one of the domains that Vesta was goddess over. "Ueshita" sounds like "Vesta" (Ueshita/Weshita/Wesuta). Just as well, Ueshita runs an [[Orphanage of Love]] and gives a place for orphans to stay, and Vesta was also the goddess of family and the home.

* {{spoiler|[[Obi-Wan Moment]]: Before dying, she asks Yuki to create a new world where children can live without worries}}

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Comes across as this by the time Yuki snaps.

* [[Divine Intervention]]: Experienced this in the first chapter of ''Mosaic'' {{spoiler|and later on in the main story}}.

* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: She prefers this style of dress.

* [[Expy]]: Of Misato from Evangelion, both in terms of looks and in partnership with Yukiteru, who is Shinji's expy.

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Which came after being subjected to [[Eye Scream]] {{spoiler|by the 12th.}}

* [[Licked by the Dog]]: She seems to be liked by a group of wild squirrels which follow her around.

* [[Love Redeems]]: Kinda. {{spoiler|She gives up terrorism and marries Nishijima in the third world, but her other terrorist-bomber self is still running around there.}}

* [[Master of Disguise]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: As it turns out, Minene is named for ''two'' gods. Her first name, Minene, is an obvious corruption of Minerva, but her last name also contains the kanji for rain 雨 (''ame''), which corresponds to Neptune in the Dii Consentes. It still makes sense though, since Minerva and Neptune are usually paired together in the Dii Consentes.

* [[Throw Down the Bomblet]]

* {{spoiler|1=[[Touched by Vorlons]]: Received half of Deus' remaining power when he noticed MuruMuru was unfairly influencing the game to go in Yuno's favor. Deus was hoping that she would use his power to help set the game back on track, and while she did try to honor his request, Yukiteru's decision to [[Screw Destiny]] and help the 3rd world's Yuno made her change course.}}

* [[Tsundere]]: According to MurMur.

* [[Wild Card]]

* [[The Faceless]]: He likes to wear a mask, and his face is never clearly shown {{spoiler|until the last episode of the anime}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Attempts one after learning he has a Dead End to take out Tsubaki, but fails when he attacks Yuki, Yuno and Tsubaki, Yuno slashing his throat with an axe. However, this may have been intentional since Yomotsu opened Yuki's mind to the possibility Tsubaki was misleading him - [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|she was]].}}

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Limp and Livid]]

* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Yuki at first believes Deus to be one. Turns out he isn't.

** [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]

* [[Jerkass]]

** [[Jerkass God]]

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: She's a silly character for the most part (despite the occasional slip up, like the incident that sets up the storyline for ''Paradox''), but she knows how to do her job. {{spoiler|And she is '''a lot''' more competent and devious than she first appears.}}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: In ''Paradox''. Might lean into being [[The Chew Toy]] depending on the fans that read the story.

* {{spoiler|[[Deceptive Disciple]] / [[Bastard Understudy]]}}: {{spoiler|Subverted in the end. It turns out she was loyal to Yuno, most likely because she became god in the first world.}}

* {{spoiler|1=[[Enigmatic Minion]]: Towards the middle of the story, MurMur starts hinting that she knows more than she lets on, perhaps more than Deus, and manipulates the game accordingly. Her true purpose isn't revealed until the full story about Yuno being MurMur's real god comes to light.}}

* [[Jerkass]]: Mainly toward Akise. Otherwise, she mostly enjoys [[Troll|screwing around with everyone else.]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Named for the Goetic demon Murmur. She also carries a small trumpet on her hip to reinforce the namesake.

** She eventually {{spoiler|wears a crown just like the Murmur from myth is said to wear after Deus death.}}

* [[Badass Normal]]: He doesn't have a Future Diary, but he can still go toe-to-toe with Diary Holders. {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal|He gets one later, and it's the most powerful one yet.]]}}

** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]: After he's revealed to be an [[Artificial Human]] created by Deus to observe the game, he receives a future diary through the 8th's server system and uses it to become a terrifying opponent for even ''Yuno''.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Barehanded Blade Block]]: In the manga during Yukiteru's and Yuno's last fight with 11th he saves 8th from Yuno by grabbing the blade of Yuno's sword when she's attacking her.}}

* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: In ''Paradox'', especially in chapter 3.

* [[Bishounen]]

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: On Yuki.

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]: His confrontation with Deus. It's a real shocker to find out that you're not even human and then denied the things that made you you. The pride in his detective skills as well as his love for Yuki were denied by God himself. Fortunately, he breaks out of this quickly.}}

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous Boy]]: Only toward Yuno but even that is subtle {{spoiler|until the final confrontation.}}

* [[The Comically Serious]]

* [[Expy]]: His similarities to Kaworu of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' go way past the point of being unintentional. Like Kaworu, he's a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] voiced by [[Akira Ishida]] who seems to be in love with the meek main character, and turns out to be {{spoiler|an "angel" and later dies of decapitation}}.

* [[Hero Antagonist]]: In contrast to Yuno's [[Villain Protagonist]].

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]/[[Heroic RROD]]: When he confronts Deus on his own and finds out that he's an [[Artificial Human]], he tries to prove that everything he had done up to that point wasn't programmed into him, but with each of Deus' rejections, his body decayed more and more as it was returned into Deus' [[Akashic Records]]. When he finally tried declare that his love for Yukiteru was real, Deus rejected that as well, and said it was also something that he willed to happen as [[God]].}}

** {{spoiler|[[Heroic Resolve]]: Even though he was deleted and Deus proved that everything he did was planned out as God's will, he decides to forge his own future from that point on, creates his own future diary with 8th's server system, and swears to protect Yukiteru.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Off with His Head]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Out-Gambitted]]}}

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Guess who.

** {{spoiler|Purposely made to be this way so that he would watch over Yukiteru for Deus.}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: A ''lot'' of this with Yukiteru in the main story and ''Paradox''. Also has a fair amount with Tsubaki in ''Paradox'', too.

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Subverted. At first he seems to be pushing Yuki to go out with Yuno going as far as to set them up for a date that could very well make them closer than before. However, this is so he can {{spoiler|trespass in Yuno's home hoping to dig up information that will make Yuki realize how much of a bad person she is.}}

** {{spoiler|1=He almost ruins MurMur's plans in Paradox by preventing the tragedies that happen to nearly all the characters.}}

*** {{spoiler|In the main series. His dying message to Yukiteru serves as a catalyst which triggers the events leading to the final act.}}

* [[Deuteragonist|Tritagonist]]: Either he or Minene fit into this role.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

** {{spoiler|Made even more obvious after Hinata's death, when Akise's diary predicted that Yukiteru would also kill Mao and Kousaka. Despite arriving at the scene in time to prevent this, Akise decided to abandon them to their fates instead. When questioned about this decision by Yukiteru, he replied that his diary also predicted that he's going to kill Yuno in a few minutes, so he didn't want to do anything that might have changed that future.}}

 

-----

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Hinata's hair in the anime is closer to being brunette rather than orange like in the manga.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dark Magical Girl]]: She may not have the powers (unless you count the Diary), but she does have the personality and backstory.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]: As part of her ploy to [[He Knows Too Much|kill Akise]] to gain her father's trust.}}

** [[Curtains Match the Window]]: In the anime, where her hair [[Adaptation Dye Job|is brown]].

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}

* [[Pointless Band-Aid]]

* [[Theme Naming]]: Just as {{spoiler|her father, Tsukishima, contains the kanji for the moon in his name}}, both her first and last name contain the kanji for the sun.

 

-----

 

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: They're not ''that'' big, but still noticeable.

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: It tends to be forgotten, but in the story arc when she was first introduced she held Yukiteru hostage at knife point and tried to kill him via Diary.}}

* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: Towards Hinata.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* {{spoiler|[[Psycho Lesbian]]: Helps Hinata in her scheme to kill Akise, despite the fact that Hinata was only doing it to [["Well Done, Son" Guy|gain her father's approval]]. After Hinata apologizes for taking advantage of Mao's feelings, she actually tries to kill Yukiteru. Hinata herself doesn't really snap until [[Murder Is the Best Solution|Yuno stabs Mao]].}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]

 

{{quote|''Voiced by [[Minoru Shiraishi]]''}}

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[A Plague on Both Your Houses]]}}

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: As Yuno points out after tricking him his diary is fairly weak in its information gathering abilities.

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/384-26037-17/mirai-nikki/chapter-18.html Justified, in that he's kind of a jerk.]

{{quote|'''Yukiteru''': I don't care much for Kosaka, but...[[The Power of Friendship|I'm gonna be friends with everyone]]!}}

 

* [[Badass Normal]]: Notable in that his ''lack'' of a Diary is key to his effectiveness.

* [[Career Versus Man|Career Versus Woman]]: Has to choose between doing his job as a policeman and later {{spoiler|being the 11th's bodyguard}} and his feelings for Minene. {{spoiler|He chooses Minene, and even proposes to her.}}

* [[The Charmer]]: Though he (unknowingly, at first) ends up mostly just pursuing Minene every time.

* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: Becomes this to Yukiteru after her husband stabs her in a moment of extreme stress and desperation. If there was any doubt of how much Yuki depended on her/how much he loved her, it's certainly cleared away not too long after when we see just how ''broken'' he becomes without her.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: If Yukiteru is Jupiter (see his section above), then Rea is his Titaness mother Rhea.

* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Especially towards Yuno's...behavior. Really, when your son is on the run from the law, then disappears for a week after being exonerated and comes back incredibly nervous, you should be at least a little concerned.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Fitting with the rest of his family's [[Theme Naming]], "Kurou" resembles "Cronus". {{spoiler|Not to mention how he tries to kill his son...}}

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: Yuki was willing to give him another chance after he turned himself and fulfilled his sentence, but the 11th's men killed him before he could do any of that. Ergo, Yuki forgave him completely and then freaks out on the murderers.}}

 

 

=== Yuno Furusaki ===

 

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Her mother is implied to have locked her in a closet countless times. Both of her parents are dead by the time the series starts.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Arata.

 

=== Rui Moriguchi ===

* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Deus appears as a purple, sun-shaped, smiling emoticon.
