Ayato Sakamaki

What makes Ayato’s past so sad isn’t only the fact that Cordelia was mean towards him. She mentally and physically abused him, yet what genuinely hurt Ayato the most was the way Cordelia treated ALL the triplets. A part of him didn’t even want to kill her, given that he CRIED in the MB flashbacks because, despite being a huge abuser, he STILL felt sympathy even for someone like her. No matter how horrible Cordelia was, Ayato still wished for Karlheinz to reciprocate her feelings only to finally see her happy.

Don't even get me started on the Adam curse. He was practically used as bait and abandoned to death by his own brothers, but he still hoped for their safety after escaping. That curse literally destroyed his entire life because its purpose was to make the person who ate the fig drown in despair and go insane. That's why he was sooo obsessed with Yui's blood. Heck, he's cursed in routes other than his own, as he goes insane in Ruki's MB one, to the point that his brothers had to lock him inside the dungeon. In addition, in his MB Vampire Ending, he falls into a coma because he refuses to hurt Yui and keep drinking her blood.

Other than that, Laito was the one who made him believe that he wasn’t special, hence he adopted the “I will never make someone special again” mentality. He also wanted to kill him when he was younger (no hate towards any of his brothers though). Kanato was the only one who never did something bad to him, considering that when Ayato was a child, Reiji called him the disappointment of the family after failing a test.

Ayato did twisted stuff too; no character is a saint, but he always tries his best to fix things. Even when not dating Yui, he’s capable of showing compassion, support and a desire to improve his relationship with his brothers BY HIMSELF. Check this analysis for example.

Other than that, despite every time being hurt when trying to show kindness, he still became a very selfless guy who’d sacrifice himself for anyone at any given time. What makes this even more admirable is that according to Karlheinz, he’s literally the only one who actually VALUES his life. This guy who loves life would risk it all for Yui, even when not dating, or for any of his brothers.

On top of that, he's incredibly empathic?? He forgives everybody, no matter what they do to him, and seeks to maintain good relations with them. In Kino's LE route, for example, he tortures and burns Ayato, but Ayato is the first person to recognize him as his brother because he wanted Kino to feel that he, too, belonged to a family.

Last but not least, nobody silences Karlheinz as good as him. He was also the only one who connected the dots by himself about his dad being the root of all evil, including being the only one who didn’t want to kill him only because he didn’t want to fall into his plan. Check this post.

Oh and, Ayato is actually really big; it’s not that only his fans make him that way! This post basically proves that he’s the IT boy of otome games and I should also mention that he’s the character that sells the most in Japan and China! Just look what Japanese fans think of him. ;)

You can dislike him as much as you want but nobody can deny how brave and pure-hearted he is. He’s the definition of from zero to hero.

Feel free to join, if you want to! :3

He wasn’t honest with feelings in the old games but later on, if I remember correctly other characters acknowledged him as honest in general, no?He also started being honest with his feelings with Yui, so that made me mark that spot ÒwÓ

He’s more family oriented than other characters buuuut idk.I was debating between the doesn’t underestimate her and mostly on the same wavelength as her but tbh out of his siblings he’s the one that underestimates her the least so it deserved that red mark.They can be on the same wavelength but y’know, vampires and humans will always have different mindsets 🫠 ))

( I've never had the opportunity to celebrate it with anyone because it's always been just my father and I, however... Cordelia-sama would indeed be sad if she won't receive anything, wouldn't she? )

( I mean, I can't blame her children either but deep down, I’m sure she wishes to be appreciated too... )

( This most likely has nothing to do with me, but I chose to get her something in the name of the triplets. Perhaps she'll be kinder to them this way, and they'll be able to fix their relationship a little. )

( Well, here I go!)

Ah... Uhm… Happy Mother's Day, Cordelia-sama!

We have prepared something for this special occasion, therefore I really hope you'll enjoy our gift...!

* Yui gives her a jewellery box decorated with red roses *

She looks at her

….. !

(A gift… from her? No, it cannot be. If it is not from him, it is mere mockery… !)

She snatched the box from her

Have you decided to mock me now!? You, of all people?!

You surely have nerves to come for me as well now, pitying me on top!!

( She doesn’t seem too happy about the gift…. )

Wah—! Y-You got it wrong! I wasn’t trying to pity Cordelia-sama at all!

It’s just that… it’s Mother’s Day and I never got the chance to prepare anything for my mother, since I’ve never had one. I simply thought that gifting you something would make you feel happy and... appreciated!

( She looks really angry… Ugh, I should have minded my own business because I feel like I made matters worse…!)

She gave you that shit to make you happy but look at you making her feel like an idiot instead! Tch…and there I was thinking of congratulating you but you don’t deserve that in the least!

Just move on already. That old man…he won’t give you anythin’ and I thought you must have been well aware of that.

After all, he doesn’t give a damn about any of us. Never did and never will.

// I present to you Ayayui Valentine's Day cg because they're adorable together and I really wanted to feed their stans uwu. I got this idea from something my bestie drew last year, and I'm not one to brag, but I love how this one turned out! It almost looks official, which makes me happy! ٩̋( *ˊᗜˋ* )و

I also wrote a special Valentine’s Day story regarding this cg! Despite being my best boy, I don’t really consider myself good at writing Ayato but I tried my best, therefore… if you’re into fluff and cheesy moments, click on “keep reading”! <3

If you begged more desperately for it, I would have thought about it.

Lifts your chin

Now then, will you beg?

Turns around

How about you stop torturing yourself with straps attached to your gonads to hold you back from being nice every once in a while!?

Grabs his tie, pulling him closer

You should start playing with something other than your balls and others feelings, if you ever wish to find happiness and be different from Karlheinz!

Tsk… Whatever, I don’t have the energy to pretend to like you today. You really are much worse than people say when they talk behind your back!

Pushes him back

If you ever were man enough to stand your ground, maybe people would not leave you behind so easily. But it appears to me as if you are still the same old useless child you used to be from day one.

No wonder even your own siblings, whom you teamed up with, wanted to get rid of you at some point. And yet you have the nerve to come at me.

Even if you tell me those things…I couldn’t care less. I don’t give a fuck about your stupid opinion anyway! Who the fuck do you even think you are?!

Heh…I see, so you really think you’re loved, hm? I thought you learned your lesson but nope, you never change. You’re the same selfish, annoying and judgmental old hag you have always been.That old fart would get rid of you at any given time without hesitation, that’s why I guess you could say we’re in the same boat here, huh?

If you begged more desperately for it, I would have thought about it.

Although another year has passed, my love for this franchise remains unwavering. Obviously, I had to edit my two dummies favorite characters aka the main hero and heroine, although I’m grateful for everyone. All of the Diaboys are great characters who helped DL develop and become my favorite otome game! (*ˊᗜˋ*)

In addition, as a huge Yui and cat lover, the fact that Rejet posted today a picture of Ayato holding Yui in a cat form, honestly filled my heart with so much joy and definitely made my day!! 😭💕

// Ayato definitely resembles a cat with those big green eyes! As for Yui looking like a dog… OH—

Now I can see why…

Quality Time

Scarlett got Quality time, followed by Physical Affection!

Maya got Quality Time

Yui’s love language is:

Ayato got words of affirmation:

(Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, and while I can't say I've ever celebrated it, I'm looking forward to attending the Halloween party this year!)

(I'm glad the triplets were eager to join me trick-or-treating afterwards; at the very least, I'm hoping that having fun together will help them strengthen their bonds a little bit more.)

(Still, my main task is finding a suitable costume. I'm sure everyone will look great, but wearing something too scary or revealing… that would definitely not be my taste.)

Uuh... this is far more complicated than I thought.

*timeskip*

Woah, the witch costume is really cute!

(It took some time to find one that was still available, but fortunately I was able to take it.)

(Come to think of it, witches truly are popular on Halloween, huh? The costume was almost out of stock, after all.)

Ah! I almost forgot that I still have to buy some party supplies! I need to act quickly or else I’m sure they'll be all bought!

*starts searching*

N-no way! There really is nothing left…!

(To think I wasted so much time looking for a costume for myself when I could have finished the list instead... that was indeed not the best decision. But... what should I do now?)

Anyway, what are you doin’ here alone? Don’t you know demons best hunt during Halloween since they can easily fit in? Geez, you really are scatterbrained, there’s no point in hiding it anymore.

Now get your ass back home, will you? Tsk, my feet hurt! I've been looking for you for three hours, so you better be grateful, okay?

(Ugh… he’s teasing me even now!)

W-Well, it’s not that bad, right? I mean… Aren't most of the girls here dressed exactly like me? I doubt it would sell well if it really looked that ugly, after all.

(But wait, what if this costume truly doesn’t fit me? Uuh… seriously, I’m starting to doubt myself now!)

(Ah, he’s right! I can't believe I completely forgot I was putting myself in danger here, but I was the one in charge of the costumes and party supplies, so I had no choice but to go buy those.)

Sorry… I should have been more cautious indeed. Although, there was no one home when I left, otherwise I would have tried asking anyone to join me.

*blushes*

(Ayato-kun has been searching all this time for me? That’s… no, no, I shouldn’t get my hopes too high. It’s probably just a misunderstanding.)

D-Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate it but… I really can’t leave! You see, I made this big mistake. I spent so much time looking for the perfect costume that I completely overlooked looking for supplies, which are now all sold out…!

Hah?! Jeez, you had one job, Chichinashi! This is my sign to never leave you out of my sight ever again because just look at you, you airhead! You forgot to do the most important part, there was even limited edition Takoyaki but now—

(Seriously? She’s about to cry?!)

Haa…don’t start crying here, you’ll attract weird stares, y’know?

Well, there are only two things you can do: you either start bawling your eyes out here and return home with nothing or…we both go to the Demon World to search for whatever the fuck you need. And don’t make me repeat myself, the offer is just available now!

A child, huh? He may act like one, but he certainly is past the age of being one.

I can treat my sons however I please, you hear me? After all, I was the one putting all my time uselessly into almost each of them.

Maybe if he was being nice to me I would return the favor.

it’s so sad tho how this fandom discredits him so much, from belittling his trauma to daring to say someone else deserved to be the official lover. bffr honey, you can’t outshine the shiner💋 ayato’s made to be the face of dialovers, his design got that special thing nobody else does. anyway, love your blog, admin! yui, ayato and laito stans are the goat!❤️‍🔥

// AYATO THE IT BOY OF OTOME GAMES! 😩✊🏻

If you get this reference, let’s be friends! xD

As you mentioned, Ayato is unquestionably the most popular character, as well as the one with the greatest impact. He's not only everywhere on the internet, but he's also involved in a lot of crossovers, and he is the face of DL but also Rejet's symbol: meeting Lindo from DwD in Rejestic Brothers, being spotted by the Erosion boys in a Carnelian Blood CD drama, taking pictures with Atom from Marginal4, and so on.

As for his looks, I believe we can all agree that Satoi and other artists (4th and 6th pictures) were inspired by Ayato when creating other poster boys, which is understandable given that Ayato's visuals are designed to be the most appealing. From my point of view, Laito is the most good-looking Diaboy but Ayato is the most attractive/charming one since he got that appeal that can’t be matched, basically je ne sais quoi.

Ayato is most likely considered the blueprint but everyone is free to have their own opinion. I have nothing against people who express themselves, but if they start hating on characters and their stans, then their opinion is no longer valid.
