#im calling the yakuza akira from now on

This is a continuation of this post: https://akademihighsnapchats.tumblr.com/post/165405284261/my-reaction-to-the-yakuza-part-2

It got pretty long so I separated the segments.

Let’s continue!

Remember: I made a name for the Yakuza.

Dev proposed 3 separate things for Akira’s ethics.

The first part was that Akira is a vigilante who kills those who deserve to die. (Like Jason Todd from DC media.) Dev also said that maybe Ayano would deceive Akira by convincing him that the person she wants dead deserves to die. I would think that Akira would do his own research before killing someone.

I wouldn’t think that a 17 year old high school student can manipulate someone like that to kill whoever she wants. There’s no way that Akira would kill someone without thinking that they deserve it, in this instance. That’s just not possible. He’d make sure his target deserved it before doing the deed.

The second part was that maybe Akira is trapped where he is because his boss threatened to kill his brother. Now this one I can see happening. Akira gets caught up in crime to provide for his brother, that he gets stuck in there. Like if you were in the mafia. Once you’re there, you can’t get out. You’re trapped until death.

I can see that Akira would want to get to the top of the organization, but if he doesn’t like it why would he want to get to the top? Only so the boss is dead and his brother is okay? This just brings in more questions. Dev also came up with Ayano doing the deed herself, and killing the boss. Yes, let’s get the high school girl to do the deed that you should do. Like if Akira can’t do it, why does anyone think a high school girl could?

And finally the last part Dev talked about is maybe Akira went crazy from everything he had to do over the years. The only thing that kept him going is his younger brother. All he thinks about is providing his brother with the life he never had. I mean, isn’t he doing all of that already though? The only thing that’s in this section is that Akira is slowly losing his sanity.

“Everything he does is the result of a warped, twisted love for his brother, like a Yandere!” Are we seriously calling Akira a yandere in this instance? Yandere’s do it as love for someone they want a romantic relationship with. They kill for their love of someone. Akira isn’t a yandere, because that’s a term to describe someone who wants a romantic relationship with someone. It’s not for the love of a sibling. He’s not trying to get his younger brother’s attention, just to provide for him. The brother already looks up to Akira, and wants to be like him. So no, he wouldn’t be ‘like a Yandere’.

I’ll make another post for the 'Hostages’.

First off, sorry for not posting any snapchats in awhile, I do have some I made, just haven’t posted. (Kinda forgot this was a thing tbh.) Been in college for a couple weeks, so that’s been eating up my time. (Oh who am I kidding about that eating up my time, I sit at home and do nothing lol.)

Anyway back to business. Yandere Dev posted a new video with Osana Progress and more information on the Yakuza. (I actually waited till I was on my laptop to see the Yakuza part so I could type my thoughts after I watch segments.)

Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5Vmuwg8k30

PS: In a couple paragraphs, I name the Yakuza so he’s easier to talk about. This is not his canon name. (And if it does become his canon name, it’s the first name to come up when you google, “badass Japanese boy names”, but some credit would be nice.)

Backstory:

Why am I not surprised that there’s some tragic backstory over why the Yakuza is a Yakuza? Not every bad thing you become stems from bad parents. I actually would’ve thought of it being a better story if the Yakuza and the delinquent had good parents. There would be more development on why they turned out like this, if they were brought up pretty well. (Kind of like Lars from Steven Universe. His parents are good parents to him, but Lars is kind of a problem, angsty teenager.)

Like I get YanDev is trying to make us feel sorry for the Yakuza, at least that’s what it seems to me. He wants us to feel bad for him, so we have more of a reason to work for him.

Look I’m all for Akira, let’s call him that for simplicity because that’s a badass Japanese name, raising his kid brother. (Kinda remind me of Big Hero 6, since Tadashi helped raise Hiro since their parents died at a young age.) That’s actually interesting, and kind of how he went into crime because he needed the money. (That actually seems to be a common trope in stuff, have a character commit a crime for money. I used that trope myself with a OC I have in a different fandom.) I’m also all for Akira not wanting his brother to turn out like he did. (I still want to know why the delinquent we help is a guy, and can’t be a girl.)

Now we’re going to be having another option of ‘changing the delinquents’ instead of giving Akira bodies. I’m questioning if going through all that work will be worth it. This is ultimately a game where you try and stop your rival from confessing in numerous ways, but then there’s all these side things you can do to help prevent that.

If we’re reforming the delinquents, are we reforming ALL of them? Like the girls as well, Dev only showed the boys. (It would probably be easier if Akira had a younger sister, but not the point.) I know this is a video game, but I honestly don’t think that a high school girl could change a whole group of delinquents. Just because she did them one favor, or multiple favors, I doubt they’d take her opinions into consideration. You’d have to join them for them to actually value what you have to say.

Wouldn’t they talk to Osoro even if she wasn’t in school? I would think things would change beforeshe came to school. Since she’s their leader and all. Wouldn’t someonemention about Ayano? I would think if Ayano is trying to be a delinquent and doing favors they would tell their boss.

When Dev was talking about how high class the school was, I honestly just thought it was a private school. You know with the uniforms and all. (Altho I guess that would be high class now that I think about it. I went to private catholic school for 13 years, never thought of it as high class.) "If it’s so prestigious why would it tolerate delinquents?“ Because not everyone in high class schools are perfect little angels? I never questioned it once. The school probably shoves what they do under the rug, so the rich and fancy still bring their children there. (I would know my high school did just that whenever shit happened, but that’s a whole different rant I won’t get into.) Also if it’s so prestigious how is Kokona a student? On a scholarship perhaps. (Like Haruhi from OHSHC.) Prestigious schools like that cost a shit ton of money, at least in America. (Just last year my dad spent over 7K just for my Senior Year alone.)

I’d really love to hear Dev’s explanation on why the delinquents are there. Based on stuff I’ve see so far, I don’t think it’ll be as good as I hope. Also Dev thought about Ayano reforming the delinquents before he thought of Akira? No offense, but not everyone needs to be reformed.

This got pretty long, so i’ll make a Part 3 for the 'Ethics’ part of the video. (And maybe a Part 4 if there’s a 3rd segment.)
