first, a little background ⭐
Yuki Maeda first appeared in a fanmade danganronpa game called "danganronpa another- another despair academy."
He appeared as the playable protagonist, solving murder crimes just like the protagonist in any official danganronpa game. Maeda also appeared in the SDRA's sequel, but not as the protagonist this time. In the game, he is good friends with the actual protagonist, an amnesiac girl named Sora.
I truly do not believe I can describe how I feel about yuki in actual words, I love him so, so so far beyond anything in the english dictionary, but I'll try to give you at least snippet of the feelings I have for this perfect boy.
This is probably gonna sound really stupid sorry
Yuki is the almost traditional ultimate lucky student you find in the danganronpa games. This means he attended hope's peak due to winning a lottery. Because of this he has no ultimate talents or any special talents- Yuki is just an ordinary boy attending a prestigious school.
This makes him feel self conscious, and throughout SDRA2, he repeatedly says "I can't do anything, I'm just an ordinary student.." whenever he has an opportunity to change something or help with an investigation. Some people may see Yuki as whiny or "looking for praise and attention" but that isn't it at all! Imagine yourself in his place, such a normal person amongst the most talented people ever for your age, and you'll understand why he doubts himself so much.
in everyway, shape and form he is so special to me! He stands out more than everyone else with his confidence and positivity- it's absolutely adorable beyond belief.
Yuki's favorite thing is to feel special, and his least favorite thing is to feel ordinary.
making him feel special, by helping with an investigation or just being useful makes him feel happy! And that makes me feel really happy too. No matter what he does, he is absolutely the brightest star in the sky.
But what came to me to make me like him so much?
this is really starting to sound like an unorganized word vomit I am sorry
When I first encountered SDRA2, which was quite a while ago, I didn't care much for it at all. I saw a few pictures of the characters, but never bothered to look into it at all.
When I decided to watch some gameplay, I didn't care much for Yuki at all either. He was cute, sure, but he didn't stand out much.
When I delved deeper into the story, I realized how much he doubted himself and it made me feel a slight connection with him- but it grew even more the more he was on screen. The way he truly, genuinely apologizes to Sora twice after she saved him, the way he doesn't fit in the rest- it made me absolutely adore him to my core! I honestly don't think if it wasn't for Yuki I would have even really bothered to truly get into SDRA2, even if it's amazing in it's story and characters, nothing ever could compare to how much my heart melted for Yuki. I feel affection for him so so so so so great- there's no way to explain. Every single aspect of Yuki is perfect in every way to me, and ahhhhhh I literally cherish him more than my thoughts could ever conjure up. Yuki is literally my entire universe, and my favorite fictional character of all time and space.
this may sound like some kind of obsession or something unhealthy, but the confidence he DOES have bring me tons of comfort and he makes me want to try harder- I want to do better because of yuki. He is so human to me, his actions, his words, his emotions- they mean everything to me!! I have a lot of trouble expressin
Here's to so so much more time I can spend loving Yuki!
He truly, really means everything to me, I cannot explain how real my words are.
Also, I do NOT in any way believe that I love Yuki more than everyone else!! If you love him PLEASE talk to me!!! Please!! I would never ever character claim him because he is so so important he deserves happiness and attention!! If you adore him I adore you and you adore him just as much as I do
