As much as I love Hanako, and as much as others love him, we often seem to overlook his darker side. (Don’t get me wrong tho, I’m obsessed with his dark side too 😭😂). So let’s talk about it. (Btw this is gonna kinda be a long one) (I’m just gonna post different posts cause it’s gonna be too long if I try to include it all in here)

Hanako can sometimes manipulate others, especially Nene, to achieve his objectives. This includes not fully explaining the consequences of certain actions or keeping secrets that could put others in danger.

One clear example of this is how he often keeps vital information from Yashiro. He tends to guide her actions according to his plans, keeping her in the dark about the potential dangers or consequences. This lack of transparency can be seen as a manipulative tactic, as he is controlling the situation to his advantage. Another example is how he initially tricks Nene into becoming his assistant. He uses her desperation to have her crush return her feelings, and manipulates the situation so that she is bound to him as his assistant.

He also gaslights. Hanako may distort or deny reality to make someone doubt their own perceptions, memories, or sanity. This can be used to confuse and manipulate individuals, making them more susceptible to his influence. An example of this, is how he attempts to gaslight Yashiro during the Picture Perfect arc.

Hanako is highly perceptive and observant. He pays close attention to people's behavior, emotions, and insecurities, enabling him to identify their weaknesses. Hanako’s observant nature allows him to gather information and understand the motivations, fears, and desires of those around him. He then uses this knowledge strategically to manipulate others.

One way he utilizes his observational skills is by identifying individuals' vulnerabilities. For instance, he may notice someone's insecurities, past traumas, or unfulfilled desires, and use that information to manipulate their actions or emotions. By exploiting these weaknesses, he can steer individuals towards a particular course of action or manipulate their emotions to achieve his goals.

Hanako-kun also pays close attention to people's reactions and body language. He can deduce how someone may respond to certain stimuli or situations, and use that knowledge to manipulate their behavior. By predicting their actions, he can manipulate the outcome of a situation to his advantage.

Furthermore, Hanako-kun's observational skills allow him to gather information and keep secrets. He often holds back crucial information or selectively reveals it to manipulate others. By controlling the flow of information, he can influence how others perceive a situation or make decisions that align with his desires.

Hanako carefully plans his actions to exploit others. He assesses the situation and uses his knowledge of their weaknesses to devise a plan that will yield the desired outcome.

Hanako’s charm and persuasion are additional tools he uses to manipulate others.

One way he employs his charm is by presenting himself as a friendly and charismatic individual. He often uses humor and wit to win people over and create a sense of trust. This charm allows him to gain the cooperation and support of others, making it easier for him to manipulate them towards his desired outcomes.

In addition to charm, Hanako-kun is skilled at persuasion. He knows how to present his arguments in a convincing manner, appealing to the emotions and logic of those he wishes to manipulate. By using logical reasoning, emotional appeals, or even flattery, he can sway others to see things from his perspective or take actions that align with his goals.

Furthermore, Hanako-kun is adept at manipulating people's perceptions. He often presents himself in a certain way or crafts narratives that make others view him as trustworthy or reliable. This allows him to influence how others perceive him and the situations they find themselves in, furthering his ability to manipulate their actions.

And last, but not least, he uses his knowledge of the spirit realm to manipulate others. Because he is knowledgeable about the spirit realm, in certain situations where a normal human doesn’t know what they’re doing when it comes to the supernatural, they will often rely or trust what he says. Which gives him an advantage and allows him to manipulate the person.

Hanako's dual personality is a significant aspect of his character that adds complexity and depth to his portrayal. On the surface, he presents himself as mischievous, playful, and whimsical. He often engages in pranks and tricks, which can make him seem carefree and lighthearted.

However, beneath this playful facade, Hanako hides a darker side. He can be ruthless, calculating, and manipulative when necessary. This duality is evident in his actions and decisions throughout the series. While he is generally portrayed as a trickster, he also showcases a more serious and determined side when it comes to something’s he’s fighting for, protecting Yashiro, or protecting the school

One of the reasons behind Hanako's dual personality is his ghostly existence. As a ghost, he has lived for a long time and has witnessed the consequences of his own actions and the actions of others. This has shaped his worldview and understanding of the supernatural realm, leading to a more serious and pragmatic approach when it comes to dealing with supernatural threats.

Additionally, Hanako's dual personality can be attributed to his desire for companionship and redemption. He uses his mischievous and playful nature as a way to form connections with others, particularly with Nene Yashiro. However, he also understands the weight of his past actions and the consequences they have had on others. This understanding drives him to adopt a more serious and responsible demeanor when it comes to protecting those around him.

Overall, Hanako's dual personality adds layers to his character, showcasing both his mischievous and serious sides. It reflects his complex nature as a ghost with a tragic past, as well as his desire for companionship (also his resistance for it. Such a complicated character), and redemption. This duality contributes to the intrigue and depth of his character, making him a compelling and multifaceted protagonist.
