i have to agree with you in your statement
I don't despise him but I've never had good feelings towards him he's fake towards Rin and acts like he has no one when everyone loves and admires him. He directs all his hate towards Rin and not Satan
THIS IS THE TRUTH
Lol it's probably because I have twin sisters. To see Yukio constantly act shady towards Rin and NEVER defend him when ppl talk shit about Rin or dislike him is beyond me. That shit is fucked up I don't hate Yukio but he's an asshole he's never helped Rin and continuously acts like everything is Rin's fault. I want Rin to give him a really nice ass whoopin
Agreed and I felt a little bit off about him when he didn’t tell Rin anything when his father died, he knew he was an demon he was scared of rin in the past and now that he’s stronger maybe he wants to prove something by that? I just don’t get if people are frightened then ofc they want to kill them off but now that yukio has that power he really might just do that. But he’s has satan too just because he didn’t have his powers and he never even once thought about exorcise rin but then when he wanted to became him I just don’t get why he would be afraid of his spot being taken when it supposed to be them working together it’s like yukio is the older one in mind but he’s never had to feel like a burden like rin so why is he so obsessed with power now? I just wanna know what’s going through his head right now.
Preaaaach
I agree 100% with everything you said! The comment about Rin's unstable nature pissed me off beyond measure too exactly because of that! Yukio is being so damn self-absorbed its annoying the shit out of me. He always rants about protecting his big brother but that has always been a pile of rubish to me. He NEVER defended Rin when he needed it the most, it was ALWAYS Shiemi who had to go save Rin. It still baffles me that he never defended Rin when everyone shunned him for being the son of satan. Tbh the way Yukio acted so shady to Rin at the very begining just rubbed me off wrong in many ways.
I've always felt indifference to Yukio and only recently come to genuinely despise him. he's just a brat!
and it feels so nonsensical cause he's made out to be a smart character (especially in the beginning volumes) who does seem to know best but overtime both his jealously and hate over Rin has really showed his edgy bratty behavior. It's irritating cause he knows that Rin didn't have an easy time with all this sh*t, and i get that him being exposed to demons and having to become an exorcist at a really young age (Lord, Shiro) would make him a little apathetic but the fact that he's been so clearly focused more on beating Rin- the overall idea of him just being better, winning some competition that doesn't exist (according to Rin cause Yukio hates to lose) just really annoys me. it went from "I'm gonna protect my big brother cause i love him." to "I'm going to become stronger than Rin cause he has power and i don't/ mine is unstable and i'm not even sure if i even want it, and f*ck if Rin dies lol i'm better than him anyways."
It's also annoying cause Yukio is a complex character but cause of his bratty attitude I have no interests in his arc at all and kinda just want him to get over everything already, despise the fact that I know that won't happen.
like i get that you want your brother to notice that you're strong and don't need caring for, kind of? but if you need help (and he does) then instead of ignoring it and doing sh*t by yourself, freaking put your pride away and accept it omg.
also him saying "That signifies an unstable nature" makes me wanna scream, we just finally got Rin accepting himself after 100 chapters of him denying his nature and just generally hating himself (not so obvi after Kyoto arc but apparently still present) Rin literally nearly gave up on life twice and if Yukio's comment got to him i would've been so mad.
anyways rant over i hate Yukio his redemption arc is gonna irritate me.
