Hello everyone, as of late, I've been receiving a lot anon questions (aka anon ask) which are very interesting, I thank you anons for sending your questions, it's actually sweet to exchange insights, views, and so on.

This time, due to the question one anon made and because it literally needs a lot of length, I chose to create a post instead of just replying. (Also being comfortable in laptop hehe)

Anyways, first, this is the anon post:

Let's officially begin with the analysis!

While it's true it can be annoying regarding how Mika's current state plays in terms of always doing what Yuu does, there's something we tend to ignore dear anon and readers, what could it be?

Narrative wise speaking, Mika is, like the rest of the characters tied to a tale; he's for sure the most logical of the group and the voice of reason like you mentioned in your post.

However, let's not forget one thing; contrast to the rest of the human characters, Mikaela went through several transitions contrast to the others. If you want to read more about those transitions, here's the post:

Mikaela the human was a boy or a child that deeply valued each single moment and second he spent with the Hyakuya Orphanage kids; he became the brother figure for them and always looked after them even after Yuu joined the Orphanage along the 4 years they spent in the vampire capital.

1. Mikaela walks a path just like the rest of the characters

As readers, we tend to ignore that he too is an adolescent and that just like any other character, he faces mistakes along strong judgement regarding things; this of course leads to him having a clouded insight regarding humans and vampires. What do I mean?

Back when he became a half vampire, he mentioned he went to oversea trips on which he saw horrors regarding the Seraph of the End experiment; this of course gave him a solid insight regarding humanity:

However, even if it's true that the horrors different humans made through that experiment, it's not exactly correct to tag all humanity because many kids and youngsters that exist without ties to the Army, are pretty much like lost lambs.

Because of this, the way his communication goes with the squad turns good but they don't try to engage in deeper talk regarding the whole theme of the resurrection given that it's at the end of the day, something Yuu deeply focuses through the story.

2. The voice of reason that fights against the wall

Let's take an insight when he was a vampire. This of course is visible in one of the posts in the links.

First of all, there were countless times Mikaela warned Yuu about how getting greedy could lead to a path of doom regarding the resurrection, right?

Here's a master post about it but I'll update few images about it: (the post originally was about an anon having an insight whenever there was some biasis regarding Shinoa and what not, however the post focuses on how Mikaela was the very first character to go against the resurrection (and that I pretty much agreed with his insight from the get go).

Mikaela was heavily against it; the squad on the other hand were hesitant and I'd dare to say they too were against it but given that it was Yuu's happiness, they chose to follow him on that journey because they too gave priority to keep Yuu safe from losing control.

But no matter how hard Mikaela tried to convince Yuu to drop it, Yuu ultimately said this:

At this point, Mikaela as a vampire, officially gave up on trying to change Yuu's mind regarding the whole topic of the resurrection:

At this point, Mikaela chooses to follow Yuu not because he's happy but because his words simply won't reach Yuu; so, the only thing he can do is to protect him; to ensure that if the plan were to be something that endangered Yuu, it'd be the time he'd act. Which is something we see in chapter 85-89.

Mikaela fought until his dying breath to keep Yuu safe, but, we're actually avoiding one question. What could it be? Correct.

3. Judgement driven by guilt

Contrast to Yuu who is driven by obsession which is heavily pointed by Mikaela back in chapter 118; Mikaela is driven by guilt.

But, is that guilt good or bad?

Surprisingly, it plays on both sides.

The good side of that guilt is that Mikaela is allowed to think things carefully; if anything, that gives him the insight to avoid the whole resurrection idea a try since he deeply valued the life of the kids and, as a vampire, the only thing that mattered was to ensure the only life remaining left standing which is Yuu. Very independent from how people view them (friends/ship); Mikaela's priority has been that, Yuu's safety and that Yuu manages to live a good life.

However, because he feels guilt which is something Yuu knows very well, that's a resource Yuu exploits very well:

For sure, no one denies Yuu's sadness, however, Yuu ignores a lot what Mikaela feels as well that it goes against the principle of reason Mika carries. This of course is visible too in Chapter 148:

Because of this, because Mika loved the Hyakuya kids he viewed as family, his guilt drives him to cooperate with Yuu against his better judgement.

Before we talk a bit about Yuu, let's touch the next point:

4. Mika's principles

Quoting you anon: "He's his demon ffs, he can literally possess him to forbid him doing anything stupid."

This actually goes with Mika's principles. Even as a vampire, he felt utter disgust for drinking Yuu's blood because he wanted to prove he wouldn't use Yuu like humans did; and this replicates once he becomes his demon given that Yuu did tell him he allowed him to possess him; Mika retorts to this:

Given that Mika views Yuu as his most important family to protect, even if he could possess him, he won't do it precisely because the guilt along the very fact he treasures him, he won't resort to it; the only way he could resort to it was if Yuu were actualy to sacrifice himself, that's a possibility in there.

Now, replying another point and this is given by my best friend:

5. Mika as a demon reflects he's the voice of reason that gave up

Contrast to the "he" who was a vampire; Mika as a demon is fully aware that he cannot be that same guiding voice like his vampire self used to be. Mika can only watch and accept Yuu's path because he no longer believes he can't stop Yuu; Yuu's for sure following a path of destruction way worse than Shikama's; however this is something within narrative point; that's the way his character is designed to be. One that even if his morals are high, something or a force will halt them from ever blooming.

That's why he follows or has a passive role in contrast to his vampire self.

Now, last point

6. Yuu's not the typical protagonist nor follows the typical trope narrative wise speaking

Us as readers tend to get used to the hero saving the day, doing good deeds, saving girls in distress or people in general, having their soulmate with them.

However, Yuu doesn't fall in that role of protagonist; if anything, it starts with that principle only to get stained. However, it's not bad writing per se, rather, it's another insight within narrative that shows that not all protagonists are bound to follow the rules.

Yuu is exactly the opposite of Shinoa; whereas Shinoa came to treasure human life, Yuu has walked away from it; he manipulates, he seeks power, he seeks way more to the point of shattering rules if it means getting what he wants.

And because of this, it's that Mikaela turns into a rather tragic character that is set between the sword and the wall; he's unable to move freely because guilt and the love he holds chain him down even if he knows Yuu's doing wrong.

What do you think dear readers and anons?

Let me know!

Hello everyone, as promised, there will be three analysis in total, this one's a bit simple, it was made between my best friend Ange & here, this lostsoul.

Yuu at first glance is a rather charismatic character, however, this analysis will focus on something heavier.

What's his real objective in all of this? Is it saving his "father"? Is it saving "Mikaela"? Is it saving the World? Is it truthfully resurrecting everyone?+

Would it surprise you if I said it's none of the above? Well, in fact, he doesn't seek salvation, if anything, he seeks his own death. What do I mean?

Yuu is a character that has mentioned endless times he's tired of living and if he's alive is thanks to Guren and the fact that Mikaela is "existing", otherwise he'd have given up. Yuu's real interest is to die. He doesn't want to live; however, Yuu's not the type to use his own hands for that; given that putting one's life to an end is considered as a huge sin within the lore of OnS story.

The 1st proof to this is back in chapter 90 when Mikaela as a vampire, was dying. Yuu told Asuramaru to put an end on his life

Ironically, Asuramaru reminded Yuu that Mika did everything so he could live; making Yuu realize he was loved; however, once Mikaela made boom, Krul finally managed to reach Yuu. Of course, Krul, in chapter 94 was begging Yuu to flee due to the massive danger a newborn demon posed. Yet Yuu was firm on not leaving, on basically sticking there ignoring all the things Yuu said until Krul said a keyword. What was that?

When Krul said "Save him again", Yuu's tears, all that pain he had, faded; if anything, it was as if a miracle had shone upon him. But that saving isn't entirely related to a real safety net but rather, it was more focused on a journey Yuu had from the get go.

What am I trying to say? What Yuu seeks, is a proper way to die. He knows dying out by his own hands is a no good to go; he knows in order to have the right to die, he must live first; thus he made his goal to save everything, but where does this goal orignally comes?

Correct. It comes from "regret". Both from his life as the angel Mikaela & the human boy Yuuichiro Amane. As the angel Mikaela, he didn't notice the sins his father was commiting, if anything, he understood that his existance was what condemmed his father; thus he took his life; but as the human Yuu the force of his regret started in the very 1st chapter of the story. Yuu acknowledged the existance of the kids of the Hyakuya Orphanage; however, he was distant, or rather, the best word to put in, is that he built a wall against them.

Akane & Mika tried hard to make him feel welcomed. However, when Mika had the map, when they tried to escape, when the Hyakuya kids were killed by Ferid Bathory, Yuu realized he had heaven on Earth. He realized too late that he loved them just like they had loved him without anything in exchange.

That's why, once he was taken under Guren's wing; his sole purpose was revenge. Once he grew up, he was all going in a solo way to attack horsemen of the apocalypse, he wanted to slay all vampires without a plan. It was simply jumping straight towards Death.

When Guren sent him to the school & being monitored by Shinoa, he didn't try to bond, if anything, it was all one sided. Once the squad was fully made, Yuu still acted reckless. All he was driven for was to kill the vampires and that was it; however, once he found Mika was alive, he chose to bond with the squad, he chose to cooperate not out of entire goodwill but because he saw he still had a chance to make things right.

He knew Mika was a vampire and was trying to find a way to make him fully a human back again. But then again, let's recall that Mika struggled for years to control his vampire thirst; he was half human, half vampire; and with time, Mika started suffering due to the restraint fo drinking human blood.

When they reuinited again, he told Mika to become a full vampire; Mika struggled so hard to keep part of his humanity but ultimately, he became one. Mika even told Yuu it was unnatural, it was against what goes towards a right path. Yet Yuu paid no mind to Mika's words.

Moving forward, once Mikaela's second death took place & Mika became a demon, for Yuu it was instantly as "Alive"; as another "chance". Yet that "Alive" was no longer something healthy, if anything, it turned into an obsession. Furthermore, upon finding the real stakes of what it meant to resurrect Mika.

He chose Mika not because it simply meant saving Mika; but rather, because for him, that path as hellish as it may be, would lead him to either recover the past he didn't treasure or lead him to finally die without having to struggle any further.

For Yuu, he's not interested in fighting, he's a character that not once has tried to live, to experience, to let the grief flow, to let those bitter emotions flow. He's a character that chose to remain hidden beneath the bed, a character that refuses to let go, a character that chose to mute Mikaela's voice regarding Mikaela's honest feelings.

Ultimately, if the plan fails, Yuu's find with everyone dying because it means he doesn't need to ponder on finding a reason to live or struggle any further.

Chapter 119

Chapter 36

Yuu and Mika are in similar positions, they are fighting mainly because Mika doesn't want to live, Yuu got this sad puppy eye for seeing Mika suffering and so apologized. In chapter 36 at some point Mika also started to cry.

The first thing screaming in me to say is: YUU IS SO IN LOVE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE.

Mika really said: reciprocate Shinoa's feelings, you dumbass!

And Yuu? Yuu can't. He is so in love with Mika. A life with a wife and kids but without Mika is not the kind of life he wants, because the life he wants is WITH MIKA. He is begging at this point for Mika to understand this. He CRIED saying he could have died but he didn't. His biggest accomplishment was surviving when he lost Mika, but now that he has Mika back, losing him for a second time would be too much. He can't handle it. He can't. Mika again said about the love of everyone else, about Shinoa's love, and though Yuu says 'uhum, I get it', he still says that without Mika he WOULD BE ALONE. No matter how much Shinoa loves him and the others do too, Yuu's greatest love is Mika.

Also, can we talk about how ROMANTIC this chapter was? I mean, they climbed the Tokyo tower and I dare say this was supposed to resemble an Eiffel tower date. A shame Mika was so angry 😂 My son was really annoyed this whole chapter.

Oh, I was so wrong about Yuu's plans. I guess Mika was too. lmfao YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YUU? There I was sure he came up with something evil, but the evil thing was just throwing everything in Mika's lap 🤣🤣

But you all do realize this is a second chance Mika is getting? Remember Mika wanted to have his heart saved? Because he blames himself so much? And now Yuu is giving to him the opportunity to revert the situation and get what they couldn't back then. With the bonus for Yuu of still having him.

I guess Yuu ran away because ultimately he chose to be with Mika, and with Mika only. It's not like he couldn't talk to the others and come to an agreement. Still, he ran. And I think the answer lies actually in this chapter.

And oh, Mika! Can you stop trying to get Yuu a date because you think you don't deserve him and that everything in your life has already ended? Thank you!

HEAR ME OUT MIKAYUU NATION

Even after everything Mika said, he still says that without Mika he would "live all on his own". The ultimate family for Yuu is Mika. They belong together.
