Round 2 Has Finished!

Hey, no tiebreakers this time!

Not much to say this time. Most of the results were what I expected but I do have some questions about others (please feel free to answer said questions).

If you would like to see the percentages and some commentary, continue reading. If not, I will see you soon for round 3.

Ayame Mikuri (51.9%) vs Miyuri Yukari

Pia Undo vs Tsubasa Hanekawa (75.2%) - I know nothing about Divine Gate, but I do think Pia's outfit is quite cute. A little sad she lost.

Toyo vs Madoka Kaname (84.3%)

Livia Medeiros (50.7%) vs Rena Minami - ... Really? Alright then.

Sana Futaba (78.3%) vs Asahi Miura

Kaede Akino (56.8%) vs Sudachi Suwa

Mikoto Sena (51.7%) vs Hotaru Yura

Saki Asami vs Mikage Yakumo (82.6%)

Sasara Minagi vs Amaryllis (81.1%) - This was a much larger gap than I expected. Is her story that good or do people mostly just like the design better?

Ren Isuzu (76.3%) vs Kokoro Awane

Kuro vs Nanaka Tokiwa (70.9%)

Kagari Hinata vs Alina Gray (85.7%)

Mikura Komachi vs Yu (76.9%) - Please, I am begging someone to tell me why Yu. Why is she so popular? It can't be because she's a serial killer, other serial killer magical girls have lost this already.

Himena Aika (62.5%) vs Sayuki Fumino

Ashley Taylor (70.7%) vs Meiyui Chun

Mel Anna (77.1%) vs Ryoko Natsu

Hazuki Yusa  vs Eternal Sakura (71.2%)

Ayaka Mariko (74.6%) vs Meguru Hibiki

Momoko Togame vs Ui Tamaki (52.1%) - This was a little closer than I expected.

Ao Kasane (52.7%) vs Suruga Kanbaru - For a while, I really thought Suruga was going to win this.

Gunhild vs Homura Akemi (85.2%)

Sae Kirino vs Nagisa Momoe (74.3%)

Iroha Tamaki vs Yachiyo Nanami (62%) - It feels early to have two major characters face off, but the RNG willed it. And it wasn't that close.

Karin Misono (56.7%) vs Kanae Yukino

Konoha Shizumi (68.9%) vs Shigure Miyabi

Oriko Mikuni (76.9%) vs Lapin

RANDOM THOUGHTS PT.1

He doesn't like it when he sees his beloved being in a bad mood. Not because you will take it out on him, it's because the face you make, you look... gloomy, sad, upset, any negative emotions. Not wanting to see those expressions on your face, he only could think of two things to do. One, pampering you with love and affection or making you forget whatever happened that puts you in a bad mood. For him those two options are technically two in one solutions to stop you from making that gloomy face...(or at least that's how he wants it)

Oh how easy it is to wipe that gloomy face of you when he has his cock deep inside you, giving you slow and steady thrusts. As much as he wants to go fast, you are definitely not in the right mood for that so he decides to go soft with you. It is hard to resist for him to resist from going fast when your pussy is sucking him in, the way your walls squeeze his cock...but his beloved pleasure comes first in this moment, unless he gets your permission to go fast, he would. He would even let you cum without any complaint, each time you came, he would get slightly faster. Anything to satisfy his beloved. While he is on it, he would also give you many kisses, on your lips, cheeks, nose, forehead, neck, you name it, as well as occasionally sweet/dirty talk. Just tell him what to do, he will follow it.

What We Know About Yuki

(last updated 8/3/24!)

Yukimi Fujikawa, codename Yuki, is a teenager who lives next door to Yaoling Li, and in the files, has been indicated as a second-year at Kosei High School. Her Arcana is listed in the files as Judgement. She joins the team as a "Phantom Idol", or cognitive teammate.

Her files are named with the codename "Tembin" (Japanese word for balance scales, like Libra) instead of her canon codename Yuki. The exact significance of this, if any, is unknown.

Yukimi is also notable as the only character besides the protagonist in the original Code Name: X trailer and promos.

At least in her Code Name: X profile, her birthday is April 22nd, and she is 17.

Her Japanese voice actress is Ayaka Suwa.

So far, Yukimi appears during Yaoling Li's Confidant, where Yaoling mentions Yukimi to be her next-door neighbor in Yongen-Jaya, and they seem to be on friendly terms. Yaoling sees the way Yukimi's strict mother treats her, and wants to help, so her Confidant pivots to spending time with both Wonder and Yukimi.

During one of these events, Yukimi explains that she appreciates the concern, but she understands where her mother is coming from, and believes it's most important to listen to her. Yaoling still thinks she was too strict, but Yukimi won't budge, even as she looks downtrodden. At Yaoling's prompting, she also mentions she'd like to be a lawyer when she's older, in order to help people.

There's also a text icon for Yukimi in the data, though she hasn't been found to send any texts to Wonder yet. It's unclear at the moment whether she will have her own Confidant in the future, have a side story focus on her instead, or neither.

In the third beta, Yukimi appeared in a Kosei uniform, but in the official release of the game she was switched to the kimono pictured above. It's unknown whether she still attends high school, or if she's still a student of Kosei if she does.

Yukimi's demeanor is friendly enough, as she makes sure to greet Yaoling when she walks by, even when she seems to be in a hurry. She's not overly friendly, though, and keeps an air of calm refinement as she talks. Her entire posture seems very traditional and proper.

Info on her has been translated as: "Her father died when she was young and since grew up under her mother's cold and uptight approach. She can't agree with her mother's ideas, but wants to respond to her mother's expectations, and this conflict and pain has made her a cold person on the surface, but soft on the inside."

In the third beta, she was described as looking beautiful but cold. She seemed to know a lot about the history of oil-paper umbrellas just off the top of her head, though whether this was indicative of an interest in history, an interest in traditional culture, or just being used to having to explain why she prefers something is hard to say from one conversation. This conversation is likely no longer canon itself, but may still say something about her.

Yuki's Persona Styx (based on the goddess of the river Styx; also an Oceanid and associated with binding, unbreakable oaths) is categorized as a Bless type, and resists Bless while being weak to Nuclear.

Similar to Yuki's codename, Styx is also referred to by an alternate name in a few of the files, Portia. Yuki is also shown with a different Persona, Pegasus, in one of the strange recolor variations found in the first beta's data. It's unknown whether this means anything.

Styx is a Defense Persona, meaning she’s good at protecting teammates and keeping them alive, and her trait creates an "oath" with one teammate on Yuki's turn, which gives them a shield at the end of her turn. Notably, her attack skills all deal damage based on Yuki's defense stat, rather than attack. Her first bless attack skill hits all enemies, and gives both Yuki and the teammate under oath a layer of blessing. Her support skill gives one teammate a shield, two layers of blessing, and an oath. Her second bless skill gains a level of charge each time Yuki gets a blessing, and if it has at least two levels of charge, it consumes all charges, does damage to one enemy, and gives all teammates an attack buff and shield based on how many charges she had. Her passive skills make it so that while under oath, a teammate receives a damage boost, and once per battle at the end of Yuki's turn, if a teammate is below 30% health, Yuki will give them a shield and a layer of blessing.

In combat, her melee weapon is a flail, while her ranged weapon is twin pistols. Her Highlight is shown from 2:55 - 3:05 in this video, and it deals bless damage to one enemy and buffs all teammates' defense.

Her recommended card sets are 1) 2 of Swords (Peace) + Page of Wands (Acceptance), 2) 2 of Swords (Peace) + Knight of Coins (Belief).

The game has no particular recommended teams for her at the moment.

"The Demon Girl Next Door": A Comedic Anime Worth Watching

What if one day you woke up and were a demon? Yuko experiences this dilemma in The Demon Girl Next Door. She tries to get a hold of her new form and is tasked with defeating the local magical girl... but not everything is as it seems.

Reprinted from The Geekiary, my History Hermann WordPress blog (it will be published there on Dec. 20), and Wayback Machine. This was the thirty-ninth article I wrote for The Geekiary. This post was originally published on May 18, 2022.

The Demon Girl Next Door is a supernatural and magical girl anime directed by Hiroaki Sakurai. It is based on Izumo Itō's manga parody series, is also known as "Street Corner Demon", and is filled with comedic moments from beginning to end.

As a warning, this recommendation discusses some spoilers for the first 19 episodes of The Demon Girl Next Door.

Yuko begins transforming into her crisis management form

The Demon Girl Next Door, builds off the usual story, where someone wakes up and is different from who they were when they went to sleep. One day, Yuko Yoshida (voiced by Konomi Kohara) comes to the frightening realization that she has a tail and horns. She learns that she is the descendant of a demon cursed to live in poverty by an opposing clan.

In order to restore the clan's honor, her mother, Seiko Yoshida tasks her with defeating the local magical girl of the town, Momo Chiyoda. This is easier said than done. Yuko is assisted by her ancestor, Lilith, who is trapped in a totem, and occasionally by her sister, Ryoko Yoshida.

However, Yuko is beset with a dilemma after Momo (voiced by Akari Kito) saves her from certain death. This is made even worse when she realizes that Momo attends the same high school as her! Luckily, she is helped by her school friends Anri Sata (voiced by Sayaka Senbongi) and Sion Ogura (voiced by Ayaka Suwa). Some call her "Shamiko" or by her full name "Shadow Master Yuko."

Sion is into the occult as much as Yoshiko Tsushima in Love Live!! Sunshine! who believes she is a "fallen angel" named "Yohane" and Rie Maruyama in Cue! who calls itself a demon from hell named "Ellis."

The series shares many similarities with The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, where a powerful demon named Jahy lives in a ratty apartment and tries to gain all of the mana crystals to restore her powers. Yuko also lives on the edge of poverty with her sister Ryoko (voiced by Hitomi Ohwada) and mother, Seiko Yoshida (voiced by Sayaka Ohara).

Similar to the aforementioned series, in The Demon Girl Next Door Yuko becomes friends with Momo and her friend from another town, Mikan Hinatsuki (voiced by Tomoyo Takayanagi). In a unique twist, Mikan has been afflicted by a "guardian spirit" that attacks whenever Mikan's heart is racing, resulting in those around her to experience calamities. This is akin to the misfortune that the magical girl faces when she uses the mana crystals in The Great Jahy.

Later in the series, it is comically revealed that Yuko and Ryoko's father, Joshua (voiced by Hideyuki Umezu) was sealed inside a cardboard citrus box by another magical girl. It turns out that the family uses this box every day to cook their meals on a hibachi!

That magical girl is named Sakura Chiyoda (voiced by Hisako Kanemoto) and the stepsister of Momo. She disappeared ten years ago after she manipulated a sacred seal to ensure she stayed in good health. It later becomes Momo, Mikan, and Yuko's mission to find her. And she does appear in one of the show's most recent episodes. Mikan, on the other hand, has a familiar named Ugallu.

In another parallel with The Great Jahy, for some time Yuko begins working at a cafe run by a demon tapir named Shirosawa (voiced by Takashi Matsuyama) which has a chef and waitress named Lico (voiced by Ayassa Ito). Although Yuko goes there to garner information about Sakura, she becomes poisoned by the food, which makes her a work zombie, until she is saved by her more-than-a-friend Momo.

On the one hand, the series has plot lines focused on mindscapes, reminding me of scenes in The Owl House, Steven Universe, and Inside Job where characters travel inside the minds of other characters, either on purpose or by accident.

In fact, Sakura, another magical girl, helps Yuko out of her nightmare in the fifth and sixth episodes of the show's most recent season, appearing as a mirage of sorts. The audience also learns that Sakura sacrifices herself so that Yuko could live; a noble sacrifice.

This series also features main characters with cool magical transformations. This is coupled with comedy, which is integral to the show.

This is not an off-the-wall comedy like the hilarious three-season slice-of-life yuri comedy, YuruYuri, for which the protagonist complains about her lack of presence, even resulting in her becoming translucent at times. Neither is it like romantic comedies such as the currently airing Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and Love After Domination, or a recently-ended isekei comedy with transgender themes, Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout.

Instead, there is situational comedy either based around interactions between Yuko, her family and school friends, and family, or with her magical girl friends, Mikan and Momo. As a person who loves to eat sliced oranges as a snack, I have to give props to Mikan, whose family owns a fruit company, for constantly, and somehow, finding fruit. She slices up oranges and lemons and chomps on them when they hang out or brings fruit to eat while she is on the go. Are there any other characters who do this? I can't even think of one.

Even more hilarious is the fact that Mikan's hair color fits directly with her love of citrus, as it has the same color as an orange-dyed orange. It also connects with her bubbly, excitable personality and her orange-themed magical transformation.

The same can be said for Momo whose hair color is pink, a color often associated with "innocence and uncomplicated childhood", who has incredible strength and can quickly transform.

Unlike some other series, Momo has no interest in remaining a magical girl, feeling that having such power is too much responsibility for her. Yuko attempts to take advantage of this and recruit Momo as her "vassal." While Momo turns this down, she remains on friendly terms and there are hints in the season 2 introduction that she may go down that route in the future. All the while Yuko continues to declare "don't think this means you won" after Momo "defeats" Yuko in some way.

This is series is not unique in flipping generally understood values, like magical girls seen as "good" and demons as "bad." In fact, the 2017 supernatural slice-of-life and comedy anime, Gabriel DropOut, has angels act like demons, and demons act like angels. Helluva Boss has the demons act like jerks but be relatable and care about each other, while the angels are utter jerks who only care about themselves.

It is even a bit funny that Yuko's magical girl-esque transformation is called "crisis management". It gives her a somewhat scantily clad uniform akin to the lead in The Great Jahy, but it only slightly improves her abilities. This is different than Jahy, as it only helps her a little bit. Due to this, however, Momo helps train her on how to hone her abilities and improve herself. Instead of magical girls and demons fighting one another, they are both on the same side, working together for common goals.

Image from the Season 2 opening of the two protagonists, Momo and Yuko

In the process, the series plays on the common magical girl elements, often associated with female interests like romance, femininity, and child-rearing, with cute appearances of characters resembling idol singers or princesses. When they are in their transformations, Momo, Yuko, and Mikan clearly transform into versions of themselves that seem more mature and prettier, with magical powers. However, Momo and Yuko have items that allow them to use their powers outside of their transformations.

Most powerfully, and apart from any other character in the series, Yuko has the ability to enter other people's minds. She does it often with a wand that sometimes transforms into silly items like a pen, a super-heavy trident, or anything else that does not help her in the slightest. She is also very expressive, with her demon tail telling as much about her emotions as the cat ears of Blake Belladonna in RWBY say about what she is thinking from minute to minute.

Yuko's demon features are often exploited by other characters, who hold her back by her tail, making it hard for her to move, or hold her horns like handles. This is even more painful than someone grabbing onto her tail.

I further found it funny that Yuko's younger sister, Ryoko, is more skilled with technology than her. In fact, she is just as skilled with technology as the underclassman angel Tapris in Gabriel DropOut.

At the same time, her ancestor, Lilith (voiced by Minami Takahashi), can be bought out of her totem into small forms which are like dolls. Hilariously, Momo can easily control her movements, angering Lilith, who is trapped inside the totem. She can only leave to occupy Yuko's body from time to time, which slightly changes Yuko's personality and even her tail in the process. Similar to many characters, she has a weakness for alcohol, which makes it easy to subdue her.

Although there is a goal for magical girls to have romance that leads to marriage, it is unlikely this would happen in The Demon Girl Next Door. No notable male characters appear in the series.  Although Yuko and Momo seem to have some feelings for each other, it is unlikely that Yuko and Momo would marry one another.

In later episodes, they will likely become even closer. After all, in the most recent episode, she became Yuko's vassal (temporarily) and came over the the "dark side", nicknamed "Darkness Peach" by Mikan, to save her from a nightmare. In an unexpected twist, she becomes a dual-class holder whose physical class is light while her spiritual class is light. They both agree to work together to protect the city.

Rather, these characters could be shown ambiguously together and walking off into the sunset akin to the end of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. It is even less likely that there would any possible marriage, like that hinted between office worker, Kobayashi, and a dragon girl, Tohru, in the final episode of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

All in all, The Demon Girl Next Door is a must-see, especially for those interested in demons, magical girls, and supernatural comedies.

The series is currently streaming on HIDIVE. The next episode will air on May 26, 2022.
