Unrendered Amane

Rendered FACE Amane

as someone who is schizospec and a proshipper, my mental health is my responsibility. i am allowed to enjoy darkfiction even if i sometimes struggle with my perception of reality. as long as you aren’t perpetuating real world harm & abuse, you belong here. many proshippers commonly throw psychotic people to the wayside, insulting antis as delusional or crazy with the accusation of them having no grasp of fiction vs reality.

Hanako is Amane Yugis main persona. That alone is pretty obvious. Hanako is obnoxious, playful, sexual, egotistical, and extroverted. While what we know about Amane is he’s, quiet, shy, straightforward, self hating, and introverted. Already it’s shown that they’re not extremely similar people at all despite being the same person. Sure both of them have each others traits bleed into eachother but that’s STILL a persona.

Hanako is a more likable version of Tsukasa (No hate to Tsukasa I love him). He’s a more emotional person compaired to his twin. Hanako most of the time stays pretty consistent with his character, always making jokes out of everything. But there’s several times where this persona slips, mainly when Tsukasa is involved. With this Hanako seems to slip back into ‘Amane’ seemingly either terrified, sad, in shock, or simply aggressive.

Hanako is made of parts of Tsukasa that Amane probably liked. He had 50 years to perfect and build up this persona, sure he didn’t have much practice with it but he still obviously could build up and use it. This is shown with how he acts with Tschigamori too.

Tschigamori knows how Hanako truly is so there’s more and less guard there. Hanako seems to be extra shush shush around him or overall more careful when it comes to interacting with him near others. Alone though, he tends to hide behind Tschigamori curtains and overall just mope in his room. Showing vulnerability only to Tschigamori.

In the picture perfect arc Hanako EASILY can slip into a more personalized ‘Amane’ it takes no effort and it’s not easily broken like Mitsubas was. Only broken when an outside force causes him to react and act normally and not in a planned way. Which most of the time is negative and more aggressive.

When even Hanako knows he’s doing wrong or has done wrong or is going to do wrong he simply doesn’t bother with acting like Hanako. In the picture perfect when caught he fully dropped it and KNEW he was in the wrong especially when everyone was telling him so. Yet he didn’t stop and simply just acted more and more on his thoughts rather than what people could’ve felt.

In the severance arc he simply WAITS for Yashiro and doesn’t have his persona on at all. Once she’s there he doesn’t put his persona back on until closer to the end. He puts it back on to be able to comfort/joke with her like Hanako would.

-AMANE BEFORE DEATH AREA-

I believe that when Amane was alive he even then kept a persona on. Not as direct and well thought out as Hanako was but still a persona. Something he’d put on when he was forced to be out and about or near people. It’s similar to Hanako but not exact, it’s messier and easier to break.

Amane as a character seems constantly annoyed. Either when Tsukasa describes him when they’re four, or when he’s talking to Tschigamori during his Yorishiro breaking, or finally when he’s trying to fix the clock with Tsukasa near by. All of these times he seems very unlikable and unable to care and already irritated at everything.

Other times Amanes shown he seems to have some sort of mask on, a happier more likeable act. Similar to the Amane in the picture perfect arc, he seemingly seems more happy, positive, and well put together. Only snapping or breaking when something within his life or out of his control happens which has a lot lower of a limit then Hanakos.

The first time we ever see Amane (Beat up Amane is what I’ll call him) he seems way less put together. Easily hating everyone and everything and has obviously just given up on anything. He had at that point given up on life therefore he stopped keeping his appearance up too. He let himself be more moody unless he wanted to avoid a subject, fully slipping back into his persona when he needs to get out of something.

I believe this is either because… 1. He at that time had already killed Tsukasa or 2. Was already planning it out months to days prior before he fully killed his brother. With that, something in Amanes life probably triggered his lack of care and so therefore lack of performance.

The only times Amanes shown to act in a more negative light is when he’s with people whose seen him vulnerable. Mainly Tsukasa or Tschigamori. Any other time that’s not when beat up Amane is he’s keeping on some sort of happy act.

-HEAD CANNON OR ASSUMPTIONS-

Mrs. Yugi is a character that we as a collective have little to no information on. The most we understand is that after Tsukasa had came back she believed he was possessed and tried to do something about it just to be deemed as crazy. Then she also because physically abusive after her husband either left the twins or took on more hours to be out of the house more.

With how the Yugi Family household is set up they seem to be very well set off and pretty family oriented. This obviously changes once thier mother goes crazy and their father leaves the house more because of it.

I think Amane gets his habit of keeping appearances and making himself as likable as he can from this dynamic within thier family. A sort of always having to keep something up and running to be liked by others. Amane probably isn’t too likable as his real self so even if he has to fake it he probably enjoys being liked over being himself.

Amane seems always decently put together and acting very stereotypical to if someone was to describe traits that they enjoy or find funny. Mrs. Yugi probably doing the same, accidentally but not upsettingly rubbing off onto Amane .

Therefore creating Amanes habit and ability to keep personas and mask emotions well. He did have 50-60 years to craft this after all.

PHANTOM THIEVES!!! BUT ALL CATS (and hampter... and foxes... and dogs igg)

Comment from @hanakoisshort

"Could u explain and talk about the 2 first pictures please"

The two pictures:

Not long ago I received an ask about the connection between "eating" and "sex" that exists in JSHK in a very metaphorical way, if you're interested in seeing it, just click here

I will confess that I postponed creating this post a long time ago, but I realized that we need to talk about this. A lot of people ask me about their relationship, so I felt the need to be completely honest with my point of view about them.

Content warning: incest, cannibalism, sex

Important notes: This post exists solely for the purpose of analyzing the behavior and relationships between the characters, it is not a ship, nor an encouragement to do the same as them. Nothing I say here demonstrates my personal preference about the situation, again, it's just an analysis.

You must have already realized that the relationship between the twins is not an ordinary relationship, right? You must have found at least one or two strange behavior between them, but you chose to let it go, maybe this is a twins thing?

It will be?

Let's remember a little about what I said about the link between sex and hunger, Aidairo tends to use a lot of scenes referring to sex quite frequently and also talks explicitly about cannibalism, it's common for you to notice that cannibalism is also a metaphor for sex, like in the scene between Hakubo and Sumire, I explain it better in the post I mentioned.

Let's remember that supernaturals like to devour, eat, whether other supernaturals or humans, especially humans. It is quite obvious that the sexual connotation between the one who devours and the one who is devoured has to do with the characters' relationship.

So let's focus on the twins' relationship. They were born human, they know what it is to love and how relationships between humans work. Unlike someone who was born as a supernatural and has no idea how it works (like in the case of Hakubo).

Despite this, Tsukasa spent more time with the supernaturals than Amane, who only became close to the supernaturals later, and in addition, he encountered them very early. At four years old, Tsukasa, like any other child, doesn't really know what is right or wrong. He learned from that creature, and one of his principles is that you should be able to do whatever you want, even if it's selfish.

So, in the first phase of Tsukasa's life, we always see him blushing around Amane, it's really very common. He has a great love for his brother, but he doesn't really know what kind of love it is. He's just happy with what Amane offers him, while Tsukasa offers everything, even himself. Then, he returns as a supernatural, he returns home with that thing rooted in his chest.

He would now have the same hunger that supernaturals have. So let's travel a little to the future, we see Amane with suspicious injuries on his neck, cheek, mouth

Yes, mouth

So….

The rope marks on the wrists.

We still see Tsukasa blush when he looks at, or talks about Amane.

What is Tsukasa's favorite snack?

Does it seem to make sense?

When Amane transformed into Hanako, he began to demonstrate strong sexual desires for Nene, and perhaps, who knows, the desire to literally devour her, as he is a supernatural. The human part desires her sexually, and the supernatural part wants to satisfy his hunger.

Why is Hanako's appetite so strong? He holds back so much it's obvious.

So, about Tsukasa. He once told Nene, blushing, that they two are the same, this right after she said that she liked Amane, romantically speaking.

So let's talk about how apparently in love Tsukasa is with Amane. Yes, in love. In a romantic way.

I know, it's weird to think about, but we have some evidence. And believe me, he's not the only one. Amane also appears to have romantic feelings for Tsukasa.

The way Tsukasa usually touches Amane/Hanako, the way he usually blushes when he's around him,… Oh, let me show you more explicitly

So, to complement, let's talk about Sumire and Hakubo. Sumire saw Hakubo as her husband from the beginning, and she treated him as such ever since. We saw throughout her arc that their relationship worked that way, even if Hakubo didn't quite understand (after all, he was born supernatural, and had never learned about love). Hakubo has killed several times and none of them were in the same way as he did to Sumire.

There is a clear and obvious sexual connotation in this scene, it is the moment when he asks to take her as his wife, she is initially scared, and the way he does it, the way he likes, devouring every little piece of her.

She was his yorishiro, and to destroy her he had to devour her.

Do you know who else is a yorishiro?

Tsukasa

And who owns this yorishiro?

Hanako.

Tsukasa apparently doesn't want them to intrude at a time when it will be necessary to destroy him. Sakura made Yashiro see what happened to Sumire after she was devoured, but she did it hidden from Tsukasa (Apparently)

Tsukasa wants to resolve this between them. So, if Nene doesn't remove Tsukasa's seal, Hanako will have to devour him.

Yes, in the same way as Hakubo and Sumire.

Can you see better now?

How about if I show you this art from chapter 100

Doesn't that mean Hanako will have to devour him? Remember the sexual connotation of the scene. The way Hanako is positioned over Tsukasa, the way Tsukasa's hand is touching his lips….

This position, Hanako likes it a lot…. Who does he use this position with most often?

Besides being the same position in which he killed Tsukasa, isn't this a suggestive position for sex?

Hahaha, I think you understand now.

Amane and Tsukasa feel human and supernatural desires, the hunger they feel (but don't usually show) exists, we often see them yearning for each other, what kind of things didn't Amane do to meet Tsukasa's needs?

So, Amane being Tsukasa's "snack" could refer to the fact that he used to eat Amane at certain times (without gravity) perhaps to satisfy his desire and Tsukasa not hurt other people (when they were 12/13 years old)

After all, it doesn't matter, he always forgives, isn't that what he said?

A relationship of love, resentment, unrequited desires, passion.

So, in summary… Apparently the twins are or once were in love with each other, or at least feel a strong attraction between them. The desire that exists in them is reflected in a sexual way or through hunger. As humans and as supernaturals. They are like Hakubo and Sumire, one day Hanako will devour Tsukasa, so, if we take into account the metaphor that "eating" is similar to 'Sex', you can imagine what will happen between them.

Remembering again, this is an analysis of their behavior. Unfortunately I wasn't able to include all the photos I wanted due to the image limit

Initially, this is the impression it gives about their relationship. I didn't mention the AUS, nor the extras, which emphasize this even more. I also didn't elaborate on this in more depth because I don't know if you would feel uncomfortable about it.

It may be that in the future more information about them will appear and refute this… impression about their relationship….

Anyway, I'm going to stop here (although I have many other things to explore about this topic) because this is a response post, so I hope you didn't feel uncomfortable with the content.
