Let’s take a look at this bizarre manipulator.
Tomodachi Game manga spoilers!
Yuuichi Katagiri is the main protagonist of Tomodachi Game (or Friends’ game). This anime is a story about five friends forced to play a mysterious game due to the debt of one of them. Yuuichi makes finding the traitor and destroying the game his goal, and he’s not afraid to play dirty to achieve it.
From the early episodes of the series we learn that Yuuichi is not a simple hero type of character. His manipulative nature cannot be held a secret for a long time. Every round of the game reveals more and more parts of his dark side and his constant victories surprise the viewer with how far he's willing to go.
Although being very intelligent, he doesn’t claim that there are no equals to him. In one of the games he defeats Kei Shinomiya, whom Yuuichi considers to be much more intelligent. His school grades are also not the highest ones. Nevertheless, he keeps being two steps ahead of everyone else in the Tomodachi Game, thanks to his strategy and manipulative ability.
Yuuichi’s ruthlessness is another important trait that usually gets him to where he wants to get. He has no hesitation when it comes to deceiving others and threatening his enemies, the boy is the “I see it, I want it, I got it” type of person, and the well-being of the ones in his way is the least of his concerns. Yuuichi does truly care about his friends, though, and he tries to make their lives better, even though he might use deception and twisted strategies to achieve it.
Fans speculate whether Yuuichi might be insane because of the way he thinks or how he likes humiliating his opponents. His behavior raises concerns about his mental stability. Although some fans claim he’s not crazy, they add that he might be a case of a split personality. And we think that’s not entirely baseless. His genuine care for his friends goes along with his cruelty toward them. Hurting others is not a taboo for him, and it’s sometimes the first thing that comes to his mind if there’s someone on his way, but at the same time he’s very eager to protect those who are dear to him. Moreover, Yuuichi promised to destroy the Tomodachi Game and bring its creator down, when it was later revealed that he was the one who came up with the idea of the game as a child, which led to its creation.
Other fans disagree, though, as they think that Yuuichi is a troubled (but not insane) man who’s just trying to become a better person but understands that his old ways are the best way to achieve his goals.
