Yandere/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{quote| '''Sapphire:''' Of course, I might've just gone back to slash you to pieces to vent my anger. You saved your own life. Heehee [[Say It With Hearts|<3]]!}}

** There's also Anise the cat witch.

* In ''[[Under the Moon]]'', an eroge for girls (You read that right), there's two routes for each character. One is called the "pure love" route, which is typical romance novel fare with fluffy sex scenes, and there's a route called the "love/hate" route, where the boys are yandere. They're possessive of you and occasionally rape you. Ironically, one of the boys, has everything reversed, he's a jerkass yandere in the pure love route but more sweet and loving in the love/hate route.

* Occasionally, the fandom of ''[[Touhou]]'' portrays [[Badass Bookworm|Alice]] as this, going beyond the usual [[Tsundere]] portrayal into seriously [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy territory]]. Highlights include attempting to put [[Kleptomaniac Hero|Marisa's]] soul into a doll to keep her forver.

** 'Occasionally'? There's almost not a single character fans haven't reimagined in Yandere mode -- a search on [http://www.pixiv.net pixiv] with the keywords 'Touhou' and 'Yandere' generates 600 images worth of crazy.

*** Yuka Kazami is often portrayed as Yandere for flowers.

* [[G La DOS]] from [[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]] is an unusual case in that her primary goal is to chase Chell through a death maze and gets rather upset when she manages to escape. At the same time, she seems to have an unhealthy obsession with her captive.

** {{spoiler|Wheatley}} from [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]] might count, especially in the [[Final Battle]]. All his ranting is basically him being angry about Chell apparently choosing [[G La DOS]] over him.

* The [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' has #367, a [[Shrinking Violet]] [[Extreme Doormat]] {{spoiler|test subject}}, who's [[Cute and Psycho]] rather than a ''yandere''. She's meek, submissive, shy, and uncertain... until {{spoiler|the High Servant jacks her synchronization with her synthetic Diviner}}, putting her body and mind under intense stress. Instant [[Ax Crazy]]. Truly, [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]].

* Really Ryez from ''[[Twinkle Star Sprites]]'' is yandere for Arthur Schmitt. Her favorite word is ''[[Japanese Pronouns|onore]]''.

* [[The Ojou|Mitsuru]] from ''[[Persona 3]]'' has a particular [[Stalker With a Crush]] with overt [[Yandere]] tendencies. [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|This girl]] stands outside the assembly room for the Student Council (of which Mitsuru is president) ''all day'', is obsessed with everything Mitsuru does, threatens to kill you if you don't cough up [[Fan Service|swimsuit pictures]] of her after the [[Beach Episode]], and innocently asks if members of the Student Council would be replaced if... ''something'' were to happen to one of them. Oh, and upon learning Mitsuru rides a motorcycle, she says she would be thrilled to be ''run over'' by those "burning wheels of LOVE!"

** To a certain extend, in ''[[Persona 3]]'' FES, in The Answer, {{spoiler|Yukari}} who is established as having fallen for {{spoiler|the deceased main character}} says without hesitation that she will struggle the {{spoiler|magical keys}} from her friends (without visible concern for their health) when she realizes {{spoiler|she has a chance to go back in time to try and save said main character, although it implies having to face the final boss again. She breaks down when finally defeated.}} Having this new facet of her personality suddenly revealed, along with the excellent voice acting she gets, might arduably result in the creepiest moments in both the Answer and the main game.

* {{spoiler|Mithos}} of ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|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 (Video Game)|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|Wangsting]] 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!!!]]'''}}

* Nuwangi in ''[[Utawarerumono]]''. Sure, he ''is'' also an arrogant [[Jerkass]], but most of what he does is out of either desire for Eruruw or wanting to destroy Hakuoro. It's hinted from time to time that if the situation weren't what it was he wouldn't be as much of an ass. He's definitely not happy about what happens to Tuskuru.

* In the [[Nancy Drew (Video Game)|Nancy Drew]] game ''Stay Tuned For Danger'', {{spoiler|the culprit is the rare ''male'' variety in the form of Dwayne Powers, whose motive for sending death threats to, and trying to kill, Rick Arlen comes directly from Rick dating the actress Dwayne is secretly in love with.}}

* {{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.

* The ''[[Starcraft]]'' novel series The Dark Templar Saga suggests a similar relationship with the protoss being Yandere towards the xel'naga. After the xel'naga abandoned them, the tribes engaged in the biggest civil war the galaxy had ever known, killing each other because each held the others responsible for driving the xel'naga away. Many also hated the xel'naga for abandoning them... No surprise these became the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]] of the setting.

** Mimmy is also this towards {{spoiler|Henry}}, not allowing him to wake up so she can stay with him forever, even threatening to kill him when he suggests that they can live together in the real world. Since she is mostly a creation of {{spoiler|Henry's}} mind, however, and technically not real, it is kind of obvious.

* Clara from [[Skies of Arcadia (Video Game)|Skies of Arcadia]] toward Gilder, though she is a very benign, [[Played for Laughs]] example.

** As if that weren't creepy enough, Yuriko is also {{spoiler|revealed to be Lilith, the Mother of Demons. She wants [[The Hero]] to sire a new race of demons with her.}}

** Say hello to [[Alice Allusion|Alice]]. [[Came Back Wrong|Actually]], [[Dark Magical Girl|she's]] not the real [[Creepy Child|Alice]]. Her adoptive parents, the [[Those Two Bad Guys|Count in Red and the Baron in Black]], are actually [[Ars Goetia|Belial and Nebiros]]. Funny thing is, she's still mentally a young girl who wants to do normal things like go to school and get lots of friends. The problem is her "[[Damaged Soul|revival]]" gave her magic. [[Casting a Shadow|Lots and lots of dark magic]]. Along with eroding her sense of why it's not a particularly good idea to torture, kill and eat your friends for fun.

* Valter the Moonstone from [[Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones (Video Game)|Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones]] is already an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Complete Monster]], but his obsession with Princess Eirika places him squarely into this trope as well.

* 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}}.

* {{spoiler|Adele}} from [[Arc Rise Fantasia]] {{spoiler|does not take the discovery that she was the hero's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] very well. She goes from a soft-spoken, shy, loyal [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] [[White Magician Girl]] to the brash, sultry, manipulative high priestess of a [[Religion of Evil]] (a religion the hero was opposing, naturally) so fast, her neural pathways almost certainly have skid marks.}}

* [[Big Bad|Bowser]] from the ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'' series games is actually this to Peach, which explains why he always kidnaps her in the first place.
