Karma Houdini/Anime: Difference between revisions

* [[Yandere|Hatori]] from ''[[Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (Manga)|Sekaiichi Hatsukoi]]'' comes off as one. While most semes in yaoi anime tend to get away with raping their uke and said uke falling for them, this series is known for avoiding the [[Victim Falls For Rapist]] trope to make it more realistic. However, what has made people remember Hatori is in the novel {{spoiler|he ''brutally'' rapes his best friend Chiaki after thinking that he lost said best friend to his rival Yanase.}} What makes it stand out though is {{spoiler|during the rape scene, Chiaki is shown to be screaming and begging him his friend to stop and not enjoying it at all unlike other yaoi "rape" scenes.}} Hatori tries to atone by {{spoiler|quitting his job but given that Chiaki is [[Too Dumb to Live|idiot]], he begs him to stay}} and they hook up...thus starting their rather [[The Masochism Tango|unbalanced relationship]] in the series.

** It gets worse as the series progresses. By episode 16, it's like Hatori is trying to see how much he can get away with his [[Yandere]] tendencies. In the episode he gets to cancel his date with Chiaki and expect him to be fine about it, goes to meet his ex girlfriend (of course he was meeting her due to work but Chiaki thought he was cheating on him behind his back, and it's later revealed by Yanase that he went out with a lot of girls during his high school year and that it's not impossible to think that), and finally {{spoiler|barges into Yanase's house and proceeding to beat the crap out of him and then forcing himself into Chiaki's house. And what does he get? He gets yelled at by Chiaki for simply skipping out on the date and he gets Chiaki to calm down easily.}} The last concerning {{spoiler|Yanase}} is the cause of a huge backlash given that {{spoiler|Yanase was just rejected by Chiaki a second time and entered a [[Heroic BSOD]] and Hatori proceeding to beat him up counts as a huge [[Kick Them While They Are Down]] Moment that leaves a bitter taste in the viewers mouth.}}
