Back to my Nokia redesign two years later. I’m playing the Cyber Sleuth sequel/sidequel and I’m just as surprised as I was before by how much I genuinely enjoy her character

If you're a human character in Digimon and your name is Yuu there is a 100% chance that you're my favorite character from your respective story and also that you've been through some stuff

Got another baddie for today: Cherubimon (Vice)! Yet another design that I love and it was a very useful partner in the Cyber Sleuth series for me.

Playing Hacker's Memory made me really want to write about Yu.

Keisuke, the protagonist, was the only person to not mock him or make fun of him. He essentially became Yu's only friend for their entire school life, and Yu was the only person that trusted Keisuke when his account was stolen.

But after Keisuke joined Hudie, Yu felt like he was being left behind as Keisuke kept taking case after case, even having to leave while they talked.

That instilled a sense of envy in Yu, who only wanted to have and keep a friend to the point he became a hacker too, all in order to help Keisuke get his account back WITHOUT Hudie, to prove to Keisuke and even himself that he's not weak, that he won't be forgotten.

And, at least in my eyes, it feels like Yu also loves Keisuke, but is reluctant to admit it. He filed a case to "verify" date spots, and during that case, he says he "almost forgot" Keisuke wasn't a girl and that two boys on a date would be embarrassing. This tells me he has internal homophobia and he's aware of it. But doing this was a step to try to push past it.

And yes, Yu Nogi is a rather feminine guy, but he does voice that he doesn't like being feminine. It makes people view him as weak, when all he wants is to be seen as himself. To be respected as himself.

I'm only on Chapter 11, and Yu doesn't get the most screentime (most of it being the Hudie gang, especially Erika. I love them all too, I'm not saying "oh erika's in the way of the gay ship" or any of that nonsense), but he still feels like a very deep character that deserves to be studied. He's my second favorite throughout the whole game, only behind Chitose and that's just barely. Hell, the two could swap on any given day simply because of Chitose initially dumping shopping on Keisuke for his first "cases" as well as his needless flirtation towards women, meanwhile Yu is immediately shown to be a trusting friend, but we see what could be the start of a villain arc due to him feeling neglected.

And this doesn't go into the question of Why? What is his home like? Is he mistreated? Is he malnourished? Is he neglected? There are so many questions that can be explored, but simply aren't since Yu isn't the main character and it doesn't have a place in the narrative of the story.

Which is genuinely such a shame because Yu is such an interesting character to me. I'm realizing as I'm typing that he's a lot like Kieran from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and that's probably a reason why.

But a reason why Yu sticks out even more to me is because... It's genuine. It doesn't start from a needless lie. It comes from Keisuke essentially doing his job. Since he's a hacker in Hudie, he has to do jobs with Hudie. But because of how involved in them Keisuke becomes, Yu becomes neglected. Especially when Keisuke gets called by Ryuji or Chitose for an urgent manner.

Yu understands this all perfectly well. But the fact that Keisuke does it alone instead of letting Yu help him makes Yu feel weak. It instills a sense of inferiority, which goes into what I said earlier about him wanting to prove himself to not just Keisuke, but to himself as well.

I genuinely love Yu so much, from his design to his personality to how his character overall is developing. It makes you think he's there just for exposition, but he starts becoming more involved in the story and it makes you wonder... Is there more than what's on the surface with Yu?

That's all, rant is over.
