Future Diary/Characters: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Averted; he loses his virginity to Yuno.}}

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Battle Couple]]: With Yuno.

* {{spoiler|[[Necromantic]]}}: His eventual reason for trying to win the game.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Until his level in badass, anyway.

* [[The Protagonist]]

* [[Say My Name]]: When turns down the opportunity to go stargazing.

* [[Spanner in The Works]]: {{spoiler|He hijacks the entire future of the 3rd Survival game when he follows Yuno to the 3rd world, since his data entries in the 2nd game show up in 3rd world's John Balk's diary and warn him of the incoming disasters. It changes every diary holder's future and gives them happy endings.}}

** In messages and diary entries, ユッキ― is normally used, which is romanized as "Yukkii".

* [[Tears of Fear]]: He tends to do this often in the beginning.

* [[The All Solving Hammer]]: {{spoiler|Yuno often resorts to pulling out her knife to deal with troubling situations. She uses a literal hammer to screw destiny and smash apart the space-time continuum to rescue Yukiteru at the end of the manga.}}

* {{spoiler|[[All Take and No Give]]: Yuno tries to convince herself and Yuki that their love has been fake, and they have been merely using one another, Yuki using Yuno as a guard whilst Yuno used Yuki as emotional support. She fails to convince Yuki or herself.}}

* [[Axe Crazy]]: Especially when she thinks her relationship with Yukiteru is threatened.

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[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."}}

* [[Foot Focus]]: After a long day, Yuno comes home and ditches her shoes to relax barefoot... only to get attacked by a [[Enfante Terrible|4-year-old kid who gasses her house]]. Unfortunately, Yuno can't get her shoes because the kid could strike while her guard's down, so she has no choice but to stay barefoot- which the kid [[Genre Savvy|exploits]]. He smashes a lamp on the stairwell for a jolt of raw electricity... which conducts itself into the oily soles of Yuno's feet, giving her a nasty sting. Then, he tricks Yuno into running after him. Careless, she misses a trap laid on the floor- and mashes her bare feet right onto a patch of thumbtacks. If Yuno's smart, she'll probably make sure to wear slippers at home from now on.

* {{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.}}

* [[Girl With Psycho Weapon]]: Though, unlike other [[Yandere|Yanderes]], she doesn't seem to have an iconic weapon.

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Go Through Me]]: Yuno is more than willing to put herself on the line to protect Yuki.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Tries this when fighting Kurusu but it fails when the grenade she is holding is a flash grenade.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]: Realizes just how warped she's become once she sees her family in the third world come together again to protect her younger self. [[Ignored Epiphany|However, she believes herself to be too far gone for redemption and makes a suicidal move to try to kill them all with the threat of Kurusu shooting her dead.]] [[Zig Zagged Trope|She eventually settles on stabbing herself and letting Yukiteru live instead.]]}}

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: She says she's willing to die for Yuki to ensure he wins the game, and even offers to let him kill her. {{spoiler|She also goes through with it when Yukiteru flat out suggests she should kill him so she can have a place in this world.}}

* [[Karma Houdini]]: She has racked up the highest body count in the entire series. {{spoiler|She's also responsible for the death of Yuki's friends, particularly Akise who she finished off herself.}} Yet {{spoiler|she still gets her HAPPY END with Yuki despite the fact she just killed one of his best friends in cold blood.}} And she hasn't been punished for this and even if she's yelled at, [[Easily Forgiven|it doesn't last long.]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: When a psycho toddler has it in for her, gasses the house, shocks her with a broken lamp, and wounds her inconveniently bare feet with thumbtacks, she finally reaches into the kitchen drawers and grabs the sharpest knife she sees for a showdown with the brat.

* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]] [[Murder the Hypotenuse|Especially For The Hypotenuse]]: In her own words "Everyone who comes between me and Yukki can just die!" Probably comes with the whole Yandere thing.

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

* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]

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

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: {{spoiler|An untouched room in Yuno's house that contains the corpses of her parents, and her second self who she murdered. Yuki finds it and ultimately changes the course of the game and the second world's timeline. Yuno eventually destroys the room and hides the evidence in a large pit behind her house.}}

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

* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Played [[Deconstruction|remarkably straight with disturbing effect]]. Funnily enough, considering [[Yandere|what she is]], it ends up being [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]

* [[The Sociopath]]: A very disturbing example she loves Yuki to the extreme but EVERYONE other than Yuki is just pawns or getting in the way showing no remorse killing them.

** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]

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

* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]: Has one towards the end of the manga when Yuki refuses to kill her, prompting her to try to kill him, leap back in time again to restart the game and kill herself again. She fails, realising she cannot kill Yuki and seals him in an illusionary world to escape him. She gets better though.}}

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]

* [[Yandere]]: The [[Trope Pantheons/Emotion|Goddess]].

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

* [[You Are Worth Hell]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: By Episode 15 that is.

 

* [[Butt Monkey]]: [[Black Comedy|Surprisingly often]]. He is the first diary owner to get killed, he kept killing himself several times over when MurMur first tried to give him his diary, he fell victim to one of Minene's amplified sound bombs in ''Mosaic'', appeared in a flashback chapter to be accidentally ([[Crosses the Line Twice|and comically]]) speared in the back by Yuno, and was given an electric shock in ''Paradox''. {{spoiler|In the penultimate chapter, he's pinned to the ground as he's apprehended by 12th, and he can be seen in the back of one of the final group shots, running from a few pursuers.}} MurMur wasn't too surprised that he was the first to go.

* [[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.}}

* [[Implacable Man]]: While he doesn't get a chance to show this off in the main series, he proved himself to be this in ''Mosaic'' {{spoiler|during his confrontation with Minene. He kept coming after her unrelentingly and wasn't even slowed down by the bombs exploding around him and by being shot at.}} Pity that [[Achilles Heel|his diary is nowhere near as invulnerable as the man himself]].

* {{spoiler|[[Scars Are Forever]]: He gets his ear shot off by Yuno}}

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]

 

-----

* {{spoiler|[[Fan Disservice]]: How do we find out about her [[Sex Slave]] deal? Through a flashback that starts with her laying naked on the floor, shivering and terrified, right before she's gang-raped by the men of the Omekata cult.}}

* [[Glass Cannon]]: The "Thousand Leagues Eye Diary". She can use it to record what her cult members say and thus has a huge range, but it's very slow and hard to use. It also presents the largest target, {{spoiler|which is problematic when a single hit from one of Yukki's darts is enough to count it as destroyed.}}

* [[Go Look At the Distraction]]: [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Yuki]] takes advantage of the fact {{spoiler|her diary shows what her followers are looking at by throwing a ball then throwing a dart to destroy her diary when they're all looking the other way}}.

* [[Hime Cut]]

* {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac]]}}

* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: The leader.

* {{spoiler|[[Rape As Backstory]]: After her parents (and the Omekata founders) were killed, Tsubaki was imprisoned and used as a [[Sex Slave]] by the cult while making her "pose" as the leaderess.}}

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

** {{spoiler|[[Chekhov's Gun]]: Yukiteru finds the ball and throws it in the air, foiling the powers of her diary and letting him destroy it, killing Tsubaki.}}

* [[Tsundere]]: Surprisingly, shows shades of this towards Akise in ''Paradox''.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: She makes herself look like one in the beginning, to lure Yukki away from Yuno. {{spoiler|She does really have this personality in Paradox, though.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Cute and Psycho]]: What she truly is.}}

 

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The anime expands more on their time in high school together rather than just the two flashback scenes in the manga in the tower where Marco and Ai first meet and where they decide to get married. {{spoiler|The anime added in a rather dark story in which Ai is set up by her female classmates to be gang raped by a group of boys, with Marco finding her and her captors afterward. He then proceeds to beat down the group and even manages to kill one of her rapists. They later go the tower where Marco is almost [[Driven to Suicide]] over not being able to protect Ai, only to be stopped by Ai herself, who begs him not to leave her alone. It helps to add to his reason for not leaving Ai behind in the tower when it started to collapse.}}

* [[Battle Couple]]

* {{spoiler|[[Bond Villain Stupidity]]: They were the only diary owners who managed to both beat up Yukiteru and Yuno and take away their diaries during their first confrontation. Having the two at their mercy, they made them bring Yukiteru's father (secretly working for 11th) to them. After they got their hands on Yukiteru's dad, Marco stated that they didn't have any reason to keep Yukiteru and Yuno alive anymore. Instead of destroying their diaries that very moment... Marco and Ai didn't, and even challenged Yukiteru and Yuno to a rematch that resulted in the two recovering their diaries. Marco even mentioned that he could have simply destroyed the diaries, but that would be too easy and boring. To her credit, after that happened Ai did admit that she and Marco should have simply destroyed the diaries.}}

A very...uniquely shaped woman who runs an orphanage. Her "Blog Diary" is actually a server that can be accessed by the people she allows, giving each person their own "Apprentice Diary" that can predict the future in various ways. She hasn't shown much interest in winning the game, but the children at her orphanage willingly fight to protect her by eliminating the other Diary Holders.

 

* [[Apron Matron]]

* [[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.

* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: ...to say the least.

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

* [[Orphanage of Love]]: Presumably she runs one, given how the children are willing to die for her sake.

 

* [[Action Bomb]]: Her "heart bomb" will explode as soon as her heart stops.

* {{spoiler|[[Babies Ever After]]: 2nd world Minene with 3rd world Masumi. Much to the chagrin of her husband, he still has to catch and arrest his wife's counterpart, who is still a terrorist.}}

** {{spoiler|As a bonus, her babies (most likely twins) have super powers due to her receiving some of Deus' powers.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]; she comes back.}}

* [[Boobs of Steel]]

* [[Broken Bird]]

* [[Byronic Hero]]

* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Strong]]: And with half of God's powers, to boot.}}

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Becomes like one to Yukiteru eventually.

{{quote| '''Yukiteru:''' Thanks 9th, love you lots.}}

* [[Not So Different]]: Surprisingly, she says this to Yukiteru. When she saw him running through her minefield, choking on poisonous gas, or even the look on his face {{spoiler|when he lost his parents}}, she was reminded of her own weakness in her childhood, and admits that she had a soft spot for him.

** She also gets a bit of this with the Fifth in ''Mosaic'' when she asks if he's going to take revenge for his parents. It's probably why she was so intent on [[Escalating Chase|returning his dolls]].

* {{spoiler|1=[[Rasputinian Death]]: ''Damn,'' where to begin? Minene already had her eye pierced in her introduction, but as soon as the story starts focusing on her again, she takes some punishment. She narrowly survives a claymore that ends up blowing off her hand and causes her to lose a lot of blood, then after chasing Yukiteru down she manages to corner him only hesitate and give him the opportunity to shoot her in the abdomen, and she bleeds out quite a lot on the floor. Then after Yukiteru and Yuno leave her for dead to try to deal with 11th, Minene managed to get back up and walks up behind them to offer to sacrifice herself so they can get inside the safe. It takes her to break her own diary before she actually dies. And Deus even saves her from that, too, so the whole thing was dragged out to be [[Subverted]]. Oh yeah, and the new arm that she gets via his powers? Ripped off by MurMur.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: He speaks standard Japanese most of the time, but he slips into the dialect during his {{spoiler|last conversation with his daughter}}.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Tsukishima (月島) contains the kanji for moon, and his first name, Karyuudo, is read as "hunter". Goddess of the moon and hunting? That's Diana in the Dii Consentes.

* {{spoiler|[[Sound Only Death]]}}

* [[Gourmet Pet Food]]: Gives his dogs expensive steak and wine, while he himself dines on cup noodles.

 

-----

* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: His diary records both littering and murder.

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Assuming his backstory shown in the MurMur segment at the end of episode 5 is canon, before he got his Future Diary his attempts at being a superhero and helping others resulted in people mocking him and throwing rocks at him if he was lucky or mistaking him for a criminal and arresting him if he wasn't.

* [[Badass]]: [[Subverted|Not really]], but it's fun watching him try. {{spoiler|Later [[Double Subverted]] in the 3rd World where he manages to catch Takao Hiyama.}}

* [[Black and White Insanity]]: Believes quite strongly that the side that wins is the "good guys" while the losers are the "bad guys".

* [[Mind Control]]: One of his powers...somehow.

* [[Shout Out]]: To [[Kamen Rider]] and [[Super Sentai]].

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: His "transformation" sequence (which is simply him putting on the different articles of his costume and screeching "HENSHIIIN" the entire time) falls somewhere between hilarious and disturbing.

* [[Vigilante Man]]: Goes back and forth between a heroic and villainous type.

 

=== '''Azami Kirisaki - The 13th''' ===

* {{spoiler|[[Half Truth]]: When Yukiteru asks him to revive Rea, Deus replies than it's impossible. When questioned why that is so, he states that he's dying and losing his power. While he doesn't outright lie, the way he phrases his reply makes it look like it's only impossible for him in particular and that the new god will be able to revive Rea; he doesn't mention that even a god would only be able to revive the body but not the soul. As his later conversation with Akise shows, it's not that Deus himself isn't aware of this.}}

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

* [[It Amused Me]]: Another part of his reason for creating the game.

* [[Jerkass]]

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

* {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Stupidity]]}}

* [[Perky Female Minion]]

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]

* {{spoiler|[[Restraining Bolt]]: The bracelets she wears keep her from acting against Deus's will, or so he thought. In chapter 57, she takes them off.}}

** {{spoiler|She continues to serve God's will. It's just that her God is no longer Deus.}}

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Ends every sentence with "-noja", the equivalent of the standard Japanese explanatory expression "-noda" in some Western Japanese dialects[[hottip:*:namely, the ones spoken in Okayama, Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefectures, according to the [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/<!-- E697%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E3%81%AE%E6%96%B9%E8%A8%80%E3%81%AE%E6%AF%94%E8%BC%83%E8%A1%A8#.E8.BF.91.E7.95.BF.E3.81.8B.E3.82.89.E4.B8.AD.E5.9B.BD.E3.81.AB.E3.81.8B.E3.81.91.E3.81.A6.EF.BC.88.E5.B1.B1.E9.99.BD.E9.81.93.EF.BC.89 Japanese]] [[TheOtherWiki Other Wiki]].]] -->

 

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Near the beginning of his {{spoiler|final}} fight with Yuno.

* {{spoiler|[[Dying Declaration of Love]]: Subverted. Akise doesn't get a chance to tell how he feels for Yuki. He instead, texts the final message to Yuki about Yuno before she beheads him.}}

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

* [[Heroic Albino]]: Has shown shades of this in the actual series. Played straight in Paradox.

* {{spoiler|[[I Did What I Had to Do]]: During his last meeting with Yukiteru he claims that not stopping him from killing Mao and Kousaka was necessary, because it meant that the future predicted by his diary wouldn't change and that he would manage to kill Yuno. It's never made clear whether the readers are supposed to agree with Akise that letting Mao and Kousaka die was really necessary.}}

* {{spoiler|[[If I Can't Have You]]: An interpretation of his character concerning Yuki. He generally tries to keep Yuki away from Yuno (with good reasons mind you) but his final confession before he's killed can be seen as this so Yuno can't have him. It seems to work...but then it doesn't since by then, Yuki is already too far in with his relationship with Yuno.}}

* [[I Gave My Word]]: Akise is one of the few characters that constantly tells the truth to Yuki and never breaks his promise to him. {{spoiler|But it was almost certainly averted with his promise to Kamado that he would't hand her over to Yukiteru in exchange for giving him an apprentice future diary. When Yukiteru found him after killing Mao and Kousaka, Akise was guarding unconscious Kamado. As she was awake and running away from Yukiteru while his friends were stopping him just in the previous chapter, Akise must have been the one who caught her and knocked her out, as nobody else could have done that. And he almost certainly did that with an intention of letting Yukiteru kill her or even kiling her himself, as he already stated that he wanted Yukiteru to be god.}}

* [[Incredibly Obvious Tail]]: When tailing {{spoiler|Tenth}}, and indeed he gets spotted.

* [[Strange Girl|Strange Boy]]: According to Hinata and Mao, he's considered very strange especially since they claim he "plays detective" rather than being an actual detective.

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

* [[Yandere]]: Much more subtle than Yuno, but it seems to be there. While usually nice for everyone, he did prove on a few occassions that he's willing to sacrifice others for Yukiteru's sake. {{spoiler|Once, without knowing whether it'll kill him or not, he instructed Yukiteru to break Kousaka's apprentice diary, to see what might happen to him and to prevent 8th from getting information from Kousaka's diary. Yukiteru did as he was told without any objections. Thankfully, since Kousaka wasn't bound by the game like the other diary holders, he lived.}}

** {{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.}}

* [[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.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The tomboy to Mao's girly girl.

 

-----

Yuki's classmate and best friend of Hinata. Her "Lovely Hinata Diary" predicts what happens to Hinata, as well as her [[Les Yay|"path to womanhood"]].

 

* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]}}

* {{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]]

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly girl to Hinata's tomboy.

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

* [[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]]!}}

 

-----

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: His death at the hands of the 11th's henchmen promp Yuki to momentarily go berserk, Take A Level In Badass, depend fully on Yuno, and resolve to become God.}}

* [[Disappeared Dad]]

** [[Double Subversion]]: He still cares for Yuki and Rea... {{spoiler|until we're shown that this is a facade to find and break Yuki's Diary so that the 11th will clear the '''3 million yen''' debt he owes. However, he doesn't seem to know that doing so will kill Yuki. Later, he stabs his ex-wife when she stops him from escaping. He stabs her (which kills her) in order to run and appears to be about to eliminate the evidence and escape...until we learn that he had retrieved a telescope he had been previously forced to pawn so that he could gaze at the stars and calm himself before turning himself in. He also asks Yuki to start over with him when his sentence is over, to which he agrees. Too bad the 11th's henchmen chose to butt in at this time.}}

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Amateur Sleuth]]

* [[The Atoner]]: After giving his friends Future Diaries and forced to watch them fight for their lives, he decides to help end the game and confront Deus.

* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge On Him]]: In a rather unexpected move, Rui is abruptly killed off in Episode 6 when he takes a taser attack for Arata from his own sister, falls off a bridge and dies.}}

* [[Expy]]: Of Akise. His role as distributor of the diaries is taken from Muru Muru.

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]

* {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: She is revealed to have been the one responsible for imprisoning Arata and Megumi in Episode 2.}}

* [[Canon Foreigner]]

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Kidnapped by Yousuke in order for the survival game to begin.

 

=== Rinko Uehara ===

 

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Kidnapped by Tohru Kibe.

* [[Ill Girl]]

** Turns out to be [[Plausible Deniability]]. Rinko was just hiding her fears and guilt through her fake amnesia.

 

=== Yousuke Okuda ===

* [[Malevolent Masked Man]]

* [[The Messiah]]: {{spoiler|Believed he was this when Deus asked him to help him. Turned out he was an [[Unwitting Pawn]].}}

* [[Serial Killer]]

* [[The Southpaw]]: Hence, the nickname.
