Yandere/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|Mithos}} of ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' probably counts- his love for his sister {{spoiler|Martel}} drove him to {{spoiler|attempt to eradicate the entirety of the human, elven, and half-elven races by turning them into sterile, immortal, and emotionless [[Uncanny Valley|zombies]] because his sister was killed because of [[Fantastic Racism]]. He ''snaps'' when Martel is briefly revived and tells him that this isn't what she wanted, and tells him her last wish is for him to stop it- he misinterprets it as she and he are [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]] and both worlds should be flat-out destroyed.}} If anybody tries to tell him he's wrong, or says anything that could even be severely twisted around as being bad about his sister, he will kill you. ''Damn.''

* ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'' has Kaya, a cheerful maid who's fallen in love with her rich employer's son, Iwan. Unfortunately, they're also caught up in a complex [[Love Dodecahedron]]... While Kaya initially comes off as the only one who isn't [[Wangst]]ing and/or being an unhelpful [[Jerkass]], instead working towards a solution, towards the end, she cracks a joke about ''poisoning everyone in town''. While everyone is eating at a feast ''she'' prepared. Later on, you find out {{spoiler|she wasn't joking about poisoning people, though she's narrowed her focus to a single target: her husband.}}

** And when Nu and Jin meet, and Nu loses, well...

{{quote|Jin: '''You're never going to touch my brother again, you bitch! [[Laughing Mad|HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]]'''}}

** And you think he's bad, wait until you see Jin's female [[Love Interest]] Tsubaki Yayoi. She's crazy about him, and not in a good way. {{spoiler|She attempts to [[Murder the Hypotenuse|kill Noel]] and even ''[[If I Can't Have You|Jin himself]]'' because she is led to believe that Noel stole away her chance to be with Jin. This case of [[Love Makes You Crazy]] eventually becomes a case of [[Love Makes You Evil]], prompting her [[Face Heel Turn]]. Also, in the ''Wheel Of Fortune'' story, when she sees Saya happily playing with a younger Jin, she goes batshit insane, screaming at her to get away from Jin. The thing is, she was presented as a fairly sane and level-headed person in ''Calamity Trigger''.}}

* Happens in ''[[Mitadake High]]''. Like one time where the Yandere turned out to be the killer. "If I can't have you no-one can" does not BEGIN to describe what happened.

* Sasha of ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'', the leader of the Reapers and the first [[Super Villain]] you fight is obsessed with Cole, whispering maniacal pleads for his love into his mind when he comes into contact with the sludge she controls. It might have something to do with the fact that {{spoiler|she was [[Big Bad|Kessler's]] former lover and Cole is actually an [[Alternate Universe]] version of Kessler.}}

{{quote|Why, {{spoiler|Kessler}}? Why do you love her? I'll kill her, I swear it! I'll wear her skin like a '''robe'''!}}

* Depending on the ending you get, Maria{{spoiler|/Mary}} in ''[[Silent Hill]] 2''. It doesn't get much more Yandere than {{spoiler|going [[One-Winged Angel]] and becoming the [[Final Boss]]}} because the target of your obsession rejects you.

* {{spoiler|Rachel, in the Sci-Fi Chapter}} of ''[[Live a Live]]''. She snaps after {{spoiler|Kirk, her boyfriend, dies}} and {{spoiler|she carries his body to her room and acts as if he is sleeping.}} It's easily one of the creepiest scenes in that chapter, let alone the game itself.

* [[Irisu Syndrome|Irisu Kyouko]] won't let anyone get in the way between her and her soulmate Ujishima. [[Murder the Hypotenuse|Especially not dirty thief cats.]]

** {{spoiler|The catch? Ujishima [[Death Seeker|wants to die at Irisu's hands]]. He thinks he would be even happier if [[Together in Death|Irisu died afterward.]] [[Batman Gambit|And he's willing to manipulate Irisu to do it.]]}}

* A possible interpretation for {{spoiler|Alvis of Velthomer, then Emperor Alvis of Grandbell}} from the [[Fire Emblem Jugdral]] games. Granted, he ''was'' already pretty fucked up from childhood {{spoiler|due to being abandoned by his mother Cigyun when he was seven years old}}, but the scene towards the end of the first part in which {{spoiler|he shows off his new wife Diadora to ''her original husband'' Sigurd before pining the crime of high treason on him ''and'' burning him to death with his Falaflame magical tome}} is pretty easy to interpretate as him being [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] for her.

** In the second part of the game we have Prince Yurius of Velthomer {{spoiler|who happens to be Alvis and Diadora's son}}. The only person he shows affection to is his girlfriend, the local [[Dark Magical Girl]] Ishtar, and when he finds out that her bodyguard Reinhardt seems to be a liiiiiiittle too close to her for his comfort, Yurius forces Ishtar to fire him under the threat of killing him the next time he sees them together. To be fair, {{spoiler|Yurius has been the [[Soul Jar]] for the evil god Lopto for a while already when that happens, therefore we don't know if he's a Yandere ''per se'' or because of Lopto.}}

* Ilya from [[Fate/stay night]] is both Possessive and Obsessive on the main protagonist, specially when you {{spoiler|refuse to become her living doll/familiar, openly saying she is going to kill Saber and Rin, and to kill the protagonist in the most painful way imaginable}}.

** Gameplaywise, {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side|Shadow Sakura]] is a bit of a [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]}}. If you ever talk to another of the female main characters when you have the option to talk to her, you have basically guaranteed yourself a shadow-related death.
