Not Trying To Be Rude At All, Im A Fan And A Follower...but I Didn't Focus Too Much On Yuri, Just Thought
not trying to be rude at all, im a fan and a follower...but i didn't focus too much on yuri, just thought he was a background character, playing the same siscon role that almost every anime seems to have...sorry but can you give me a brief maybe? of your pov? cause most people seem to hate him
hey hey,, no my lovely it's completely okay, don't apologize :3
the central idea of yuri briar is that he's here just for comedic relief, and obviously, he's such a siscon and this and that, right?
and i don't blame people for thinking that in their minds, because of the way the animators and some of the writing board seem to set him up...
even endo, had said that, he just wanted yuri to be a sweet little brother people would adore, but the writers made him like this, and well, you know.
anyway, even with this personality, his character's backstory provides a lot of justification to his behavior,, like sure, at first he might seem like the comedic relief type of character, who's inappropriately in love with his sister, but actually, it's not like that at all...
in the anime, they've sort of butchered his character more,, from the changing of the lily bouquet for his sister to the rose one, and then obviously the little translation mistakes here and there.
now, let's just get to the point.
in the scene where yuri calls yor and talks about the party, he asks her if she wants him to introduce her to someone, and tbh he seems very genuine with it.
in the scene where he's meeting loid for the first time, he tells yor he can't just accept this marriage. which is so fair, because imagine your literal blood, someone you grew up with, the only person you've really ever known, gets married, and then doesn't tell you for an entire year. like, that's gotta make you upset and question things right?
i do agree, that his attachment and his admiration and obsession towards his sister is unhealthy, but hey, at least give him a second. understand his perspective right? he was just a boy, who lost both his parents to a war and grew up with his sister being the only one who went above and beyond to get him basic essentials.
and, obviously, you'd love your sibling if you were in this situation right?
so it's just that he's not really yet grasped how to normally love yor,, now this doesn't really mean that he loves her abnormally lol.
im sure that the writers will continue to develop his character as the manga continues. he's already developed a lot, and while the overly obsessed brother trope is quite funny and well-used, especially in this manga,, i still believe he has more of a personality then they show us.
and the only thing annoying is that people seem to judge him and then make posts about how he's just so creepy and weird,, which proves that they've obviously not paid enough attention to his character details to understand the reasons behind it yknow?
anyway.

Count Briar | Yandere Yuri Briar

“Hi, there! You must be Yor’s baby brother! She’s told me all about you, come on in!”
Being greeted by an unfamiliar person in the home he both cursed and loved as the house of his sister wasn’t something Yuri Briar was prepared for. He had a clear goal this time around. Tutor Loid’s spawn, bug the rooms, and see if there is any evidence of Loid’s trickery.
“Well don’t just stand there silly! Anya, why don’t you bring your uncle in while I finish this cake!”
“Okay!”
He needed to focus! Analyze this new enemy and try to find flaws! But it was so hard when you so eagerly fed him delicious cake. Not to mention you were smiling so sweetly at him. No he had to make sure you weren’t a spy! Begin the interrogation!
“So what made you worthy enough to be in my sister’s home?”
“Well it's kind of in my title silly! I’m Anya and Bond’s nanny!”
You giggled setting aside a cake for yourself, Anya, and Bond. Yuri kept his eyes on your every move, just waiting for you to slip up. Not because he couldn’t stop looking at you. Nope! Definitely because your smile was too bright and that must have been a devious tactic from an enemy like you.
“(Y/n)-sama! Let us begin our mission!”
“Yes, Anya-sama it is time!”
“W-what?!”
With a flap of the cape she was wearing, Anya was revealed to wear layers of clothes of various unmatching patterns. Bond too was wearing a hat that resembled one of a cowboy and a cape that he was currently trying to eat. He turned to you for some semblance of an understanding only to find that you were in an elaborate costume yourself with something akin to a masquerade mask. On guard, he stood up until you so easily pushed at his chest with gloved hands as you chuckled. It wasn’t because the soft push at his chest rendered him an overheating mess…definitely not.
“I thought Yor would have told you! We’re trying something new to encourage Anya to study. Now you're the count I have to seduce to get codes from!”
“W-what?!”
“Here Unkie takes this, those are the codes they have to get! But you can’t give it right away!”
He stood up again. He was putting his foot down and stopping whatever effect you were having on him.
“No! I’m not doing this! I told Yor I’d–”
He stopped at the unsettling silence in the room. Anya’s face was slowly contorting and you had removed your mask to look worriedly at her before flicking your hypnotizing eyes back at his. It was too much with you looking directly into his eyes with that pouty look on your face felt like a direct attack. Heart pumping as he watched your puffy delectable lips turn into a pout and your eyes droop. This pressure! There was only one way he could evade this and the unshed tears welling in Anya’s eyes spoke of one thing—!
“Fine. But after this we get right to studying.”
Tears gone and your smile returned, everyone continued to prepare for the game that you were all about to play. Sitting back down and wearing the accessory he had been given beforehand. Finishing quickly he watched as you dawned your mask once more retrieving the cut slices as you placed them on the table. Joining him on the couch he watches you clear out your voice before turning and speaking to him in an accent that wasn’t your own.
“Thank you for inviting us Count Briar, me and my associates are so happy we could attend your costume tea-party!”
He stood there holding your gaze before receiving a not-so subtle kick from under the table. Kirking your head in hopes to urge him he realized what exactly you were trying to get from him.
“Uh uh yes I’m so happy you could come uh-”
“The Countess of the Acrobatics.”
“Uh–yeah and you uhm Any–”
“Princess of Peanuts!”
“Yes and Bond-”
“Bodyguard Bond!”
“Right, yes thank you for bringing the cake, then.”
“Of course it's the least we could do. After all you do have those cherry bombs sitting on the Candy Kingdom.”
“Do I–? Augh! Yes! I do!” Receiving another kick, he fixed his response. Realizing how hard this was for him, he tried his hardest. After all, he wouldn't want to let you down. Wait, he meant Yor if she were ever to hear about his lacking acting skills.
He continued to maintain this character, learning through you and Anya’s dialogue that he was a Count looking to force the Candy Kingdom to give all their candy to him with his cherry bombs. Apparently the King you were working for was deathly allergic to cherries and therefore required that you two–their spies get the codes to disarm the bombs.
Even with your previous revelation of your tactic he couldn’t be prepared for your ‘seduction’ in the slightest. Slowly scooting closer to him on the couch was the first step, already bringing a slight blush as he realized what you were doing. It escalated when you let your shoulders touch. You must have been incredibly hot because the moment you touched, he was in desperate need of some cooling off. Unfortunately, he couldn’t leave especially since Bond–er Bodyguard Bond was eyeing his slice. In the next part, you offered to feed him the rest of his slice of cake.
“Say, ‘ahh’!”
“A-ah.”
Letting his mouth close around your fork he tried to look away from your eyes once more. Failing miserabley as he not only could see your face clearly but the oddly revealing bits your costume had.
“I got it, (Y/n) now keep distracting him.”
The not so silent whisper allowed him to break away looking at Anya, easily making away with the paper that was in his pocket.
“Uh oh, it looks like you have some cake on your face, Count Briar! I’ll get it for you.”
Were-were you going to kiss him?! So soon?! He wasn’t prepared for this! The only kiss he’s ever received like this is from Yor! Would this be his first kiss?!
“Ah-W-wait-?!”
“Got it.”
With a swipe of your thumb from the corner of his lips the point of contention was gone. All he could do was overheat in embarrassment excitement as he watched you sit back to happily lick the frosting away before pridefully striking a pose.
“Waku waku Count Briar we’ve stolen your codes and therefore our mission is complete.”
“Yayy we did it! Victory hugs!”
Yuri watched bewildered as you did a dance with her; moving Bond in tandem with your movements. Completely oblivious to the crisis he could only recover from as he huffed to get everyone’s attention.
“A-alright now we study.”
“Awww but (Y/n) didn’t even do the kiss!”
Yuri stopped feeling an immense sense of being cheated that he couldn’t quite place. You shrugged as you began to take off Anya and Bond’s costumes.
“Sorry Anya but it's not cool to take your Unkie’s kisses! Now let’s get ready to study!”
Yuri pushed these thoughts away as he focused on coaching Loid’s near illiterate spawn as you did chores around their home. Every now and then he let himself stare because this would most certaintly not be the first time he’d find you. He’d figure out why you made him feel this way.
Just you wait.
Part 2: ?
Honestly, if Yor and the Secret Police ever butted heads, Yuri wouldn't even feel betrayed like "oh no, I can't believe my sister was an assassin this whole time!" I think he's just immediately quit like "huh. I guess the secret police are evil then."
is there any in-game evidence that supports Akechi getting either Loki or Robin Hood first?
Hello! I've discussed this before here.
Tl;dr: though there's Word of God saying Akechi awoke to both personas at the same time, there probably still has to be an order—I hear something similar happens with the P3 protagonist, with one persona emerging from the other? Or like Protect and Endure, where Akechi learns both at the same time (at rank 10), but there is still an order to them.
During the third awakenings, the original base persona appears on the left, with the second awakening persona on the right. And in Akechi's, Robin Hood is on the left:

On top of that, the third awakenings are a glow-up of the original persona. Hereward is kind of a reverse glow-up (a dim-down??) of Robin Hood:

So I think Royal makes it pretty clear that Robin Hood is the base persona, and Loki the second awakening—regardless of the actual timing of those awakenings, of whether they happened on top of each other or years apart. Just like how, on the black mask suit, you can see the blue layer is the base layer, with the black stripes sewn over the top.
Akechi was not born evil—his circumstances made him so. His personas, and his outfit, reflect that.
