Guys oh no what have i done what am i gonna do
Something that I appreciate a lot about blue exorcist is that it doesn't rely on gags or gimmicks for its humor. I mean a lot of characters like Mephisto or Rin are gimmicky, yes, but to me the humor shines brightest when it's just the characters interacting. The characters from blue exorcist are written very well and their interactions feel like how realistic friends and teenagers interact. They tease, jokingly bully eachother, they have inside jokes and express emotions realisticly. Those interactions, to me at least, are some of the funniest interactions I've ever seen in media.
What happened to his hair
He going bald
His hair is so much more fluffy in the manga
Its also a little curly but in the anime its all straight and looks weird
Gay people can never confess normally, it's always some shit like "I'll go along with your ridiculous optimism. After all, we're friends"
oh shit look who it is!!

So true so true pop off. You have put exactly how I feel on the treatment towards Yukio into words. And to add on with a little bit to Yukio and Rin’s interactions, and how I view them, Yukio really truly cares for his brother. And it’s seen a lot through out the manga and anime, people just choose to ignore it and look at the harshness of it.
Yukio yelling at Rin because of a mission? Yukio just being an ass then? No. He truly is scared that one day his brothers gonna do something stupid and because of that action Rin will be executed. But the only way Yukio knows how to show it is through yelling and arguing. As said in the above post, Yukio doesn’t care about his own life, he really only cares about Rin’s.
And I do want it add on I love Rin, he’s a great guy, but some of his decisions aren’t always the best. He’s a selfless character which is almost the opposite of Yukio in a sense. The way I view it is that Yukio is selfish of Rin’s life, while Rin himself is selfless towards it to an extent. (Of course Rin doesn’t outright want to die but he doesn’t care about how his positive actions could cause it [not saying it’s bad I’m just stating a fact in a neutral kind of tone]). And you can actually see this in the Blue Exorcist movie, specifically the opening scene with the train.
I think if people paid more attention to the story and depth of each character in Blue Exorcist, they’d might see that Yukio isn’t such a horrible person. And I’m ngl I’m very subjective towards Yukio because I like him a lot. He’s a fleshed out character with relatable feelings and flaws. And I honestly don’t understand some of the hate sent his way. (Of course there were a couple moments where I end up signing and going “Yukio why?” But I still don’t see them as a huge reason to hate him that much).
Also another thing, as I keep adding more and more stuff, Yukio is not an adult. He’s a teenager. Just like Rin. And I feel that people forget that a lot. Yukio is still developing as a person and into an adult. And this fact is even referenced in the manga.
Honestly in the end, Yukio to me is just a really relatable character and not someone who deserves all this hate. Some of the comments I’ve seen about him make me very concerned as a human being. Because the world isn’t black and white, but people tend to view Blue Exorcist with that lens. And so grey characters, such as Yukio, will either get hated on or overlooked, like Shima, for a character who can generally be seen as the good guy, Rin.
I could honestly go on and on about Yukio and how deep his character is, so I’m gonna stop myself here and leave it at that. Also like the post above please don’t respond with unnecessary hate (if you have a genuine comment or question that’s fine)
how do you feel about yukio? most bonrin seem to hate him?
Sorry this one took me a while to answer. Had to get my thoughts straight. So, without further ado:
*gets ready to step on a lot of toes*
Let me start by saying this blog and blogger supports Yukio. You can dislike any character you want, of course, but I won't respond to hate on him. Poor guy gets a lot of that, and I am extremely grateful he isn't an actual person, because there is no way Yukio would survive all the hate and vitriol sent his way if he was an actual person. When you consider the hate he gets and the fact that he is one of the most self-loathing, depressed, and suicidal characters in the manga... it just breaks my heart.
Yukio is, in my opinion (which you're free to disagree with) an extremely well written character, and (again, in my opinion) a sympathetic one. He is one of the best portrayals of a depressed and suicidal character I've seen in manga/anime, and I am so hopeful for the next arc of the manga that he gets some healing from all of that. He's spent most of his life without the proper support he needed (I adore Shirou, but will never agree with the path he chose for Yukio, even if I understand why he did it) and with very little, if any, actual mental/emotional support. Rin wants to help him and love him, but because of the secrets and roles thrust upon them, that wasn't much of an option until very recently, and trusting someone with all of that -- especially if you're already severely depressed and self-loathing -- is not an easy thing to just start doing. If you've spent your life keeping things to yourself, you can't just turn that off.
Especially if one of the things you hate most about yourself is weakness.
In my opinion, a lot of the hate comes from people who have never really done a lot of looking at Yukio as a character. They just see him as someone who was mean to Rin (who in their opinion, never did/does anything wrong) without ever looking at what might have led him down that road.
(It also makes me worry about how they would respond to real life people with depression or suicidal tendencies, and hope desperately that they're more understanding and gentle.)
Yukio has also been a self-destructive character for a while now, and as tends to be the case with self-destructive characters, his destruction tends to spread around to others. (Sorry Rin) He's trying to make the world a better place by getting rid of the corruption around him, and unsurprisingly, it's not going well because this boy with all his self-loathing, also doesn't want to drag anyone else down with him, so he's typically a loner with his actions and plans. His own life isn't worth anything to him, so he's reckless with it and dangerous because of that.
(Which is where a lot of his conflict with Rin comes from. He just wants it to be over and Rin won't take 'leave me alone' as an answer. Neither is great at listening to the other.)
I like Yukio. I want him to find healing and to realize that he has friends he can trust in (I cannot describe how much I love the little meal the cram group shares after Rin temporarily burned Satan connection. I LOVE how much this manga is about friendship and healing together and 🥲)
At the end of the day, Yukio is a boy who is complicated and a lot of why I like him, and Blue Exorcist, is the complexity. They feel real. They don't always do the right thing, or even the logical thing. They make mistakes and they're messy characters. But Yukio still grabs Rin's arm to save him in a fight, and still tears up when his friends call him by his name and forgive him. Yukio loves penguins, comedy manga, and hates cooking. Yukio runs to his twin to eat lunch so he doesn't have to upset the girls in his class, has a million spare glasses, always refers to his twin (who is ostracized by their society) as niisan (never distancing their relation.) He accepted full responsibility for his twin when he was the younger one, and never questioned doing it even if it meant taking on horrible tasks. He's been able to see demons his entire life, and despite spending his childhood terrified of them, worked hard to become the youngest exorcist ever. He loves and hates, and he's a messy character, and I like him.
So, sorry for the word vomit xD That's my opinion on Yukio.
I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ADD THIS IN THE POST BELOW BUT YES YUKIO KNOWS HE IS ALSO THE SON OF SATAN. And some of the slander I see is about how he’s hypocritical (which he can be yes) but the reasoning isn’t always the best. Yes the opening scene at cram school wasn’t the best, and yes he pointed a gun at his twin, but that doesn’t make him feel entitled? (Ngl idk how y’all can get entitled from his actions?). Yukio’s whole arc in a sense revolves around being the son of Satan. An acknowledgment of who he is. And whenever he talks about the son of Satan stuff I always take it more as a power sense. The blue flames do belong to rin, do they not? It’s a easy tell of being the son of Satan. While you might never even know with Yukio. I feel like the son of Satan stuff is more metaphorically thrown than literal (that might be confusing but idk how else to word it). Anyways just wanted to add that real quick, really hope I ain’t forgetting anything else.
THE CORAZON FUJIMOTO?!!? I'M
GONNA CRI
More Shirodad stuff no one asked for 🐿️
Never will understand people who hate the majority of Rin's friends in Aoex. Like I have characters I'm not 100% into, but when the story focuses on them it's never boring. This series is so well written with some of the best characters I've encountered in manga that to dislike or hate one is just... so weird to me.
Blue Exorcist Art for the Holidays!
I really love their outfits😚
Dumpling server Rin inspired by Kato's latest new year's art. Happy year of the Dragon 2024
i caught up on the blue exorcist manga the other day after dropping it in like 2017 so ive just been thinking about my idiot sons again
Nendoroid Okumura Rin and Yukio finally revealed by GSC!
I don’t know why, but I think Aoex and SVSSS would make a very good crossover fic.
Finishing season 3 and being reminded of how amazing the anime could have been if season 1 hadn't gone the way it had is a different kind of pain 😭
Omg, tuve la misma idea!!
"...It's you."
"It's you...!"
