Yandere is an archetype used to define characters who are extremely obsessive about someone else. Their feelings are so strong that they’re capable of anything when it comes to protection of their loved one. And while it feels like a simple human thing (after all, aren’t we all protective of the ones we love?), yandere characters take it to another level. Their devotion becomes frightening, and they stop caring about anything else.
Lucy’s powers and the desire for vengeance become even more dangerous and terrifying when she falls in love. Kohta used to be her childhood friend, but her feelings grew bigger and more uncontrollable. Uncontrollable to a point that she might kill members of Kohta’s family out of jealousy. And we don’t even want to talk about what she’s capable of doing to the ones who pose a threat to the target of her affection.
When he first meets Kaneki, he’s only interested in toying with him and eating him, because the boy smells exceptionally delicious. But over time, Tsukiyama’s feelings grow into an actual obsession. A sick and twisted one, for that matter. He eventually came to genuinely care for Kaneki, though, and got highly depressed and anorexic during the time he thought Kaneki was dead.
Although she’s different from everyone else on our list, her obsession with Eren is also not one of the healthiest. She has to always stay by Eren’s side, she protects him no matter what, she would give him anything just for him to feel better. And Mikasa stays loyal to Eren even after his death: she is wearing the scarf he gave her when they were kids even while lying in her coffin.
Misa’s devotion to Light had a significant reasoning behind it. At first, she just wanted to thank Kira for killing the man who murdered her family. But then she actually meets Light, and she’s hooked. Misa would do anything for Light, no matter how difficult the task is. She’s ready to kill, to lie, to die. She would threaten girls who try to take Light from her. And Misa does not see the world without Light, so she presumably commits suicide after his death.
And it’s no surprise that Yuno is number one on our list. Yukiteru is her obsession, her love. She would do anything for him. Even her diary is connected to him and his future. Her crazy-looking appearance says it all: she’s dangerous and insane. She’s ruthless and calculating, and if someone wants to hurt Yukiteru, they should think twice.
Anything for love?
