can you do a post what the manga yuu's kanji in their names half to do with their characters?
Hello hello! Thank you for this question! 🦐
A breakdown of the "Yuu" names until Book 3 was for some reason hidden in a theory post about the prefects maybe being in a coma 🧐
Here is that information pick up, with the addition of Yuuna and some interesting conversation that was discovered on JP side:
In the manga, all four prefects that we have seen thus far have had names connected to the afterlife:
・Heartslabyul Arc, Enma Yuuken (円満 雄剣): Enma's family name is pronounced the same (the kanji is different) as 閻魔 (Enma), the king of hell in Buddhism. From the Kyoto National Museum website: "The King of Buddhist Hell is Enma, who is also the judge of the afterlife."
・Savanaclaw Arc, Hirasaka Yuuka (比良坂 悠河): "Hirasaka" is written and pronounced the same as the hirasaka of Yomotsu-hira Saka, known as "The Entrance to the Underworld" in Shintoism, explained on Shimane Prefecture's official tourism website: "Yomotsu-hira Saka appears as the boundary between the land of the dead and the land of the living."
・Octavinelle Arc, Mito Yuuta (三途 宥太): "Mito" uses the same kanji as 三途川, the "River of Three Crossings," which is "a mythological river the souls of the deceased must cross by one of three crossing points." Credit to blogger Tansho for the discovery that "River Styx" was changed to 三途川 in the Japanese-language dub of the "Hercules" TV show.
・Scarabia Arc, Oujou Yuuna (逢生 結菜): Yuuna’s family name is pronounced the same (the kanji is different) as 往生 (oujou), a term in Japanese Buddhism for rebirth in the Pure Land. There is also 大往生 (dai-oujou), which means “peaceful death.”
While searching for additional theories I found a fascinating few ideas posted anonymously, translated below:
If you follow the names of the prefects backwards starting from Chapter 4, Oujou (death) → Mito (crossing the River Sanzu) → Hirasaka (going to the afterlife) → Enma (receiving judgment from Enma) It might be a bit of a stretch, but it kind of looks like there’s a connection there.
If it goes Enma’s judgment → Sanzu River → Rebirth, then it kind of feels like they’re moving from the afterlife back toward the world of the living. Not that it means anything in particular, it’s just a baseless theory, haha.
Now that I think about it, haven’t all the manga protagonists followed the same pattern so far? Enma, the kendo club captain, gets whisked away by a black horse while waiting for a bus. Hirasaka, likely a promising judo athlete, was taken while trying to rescue a kitten in the rain. Mito was delivering something for his family's store and got taken after trying to take a shortcut. So all of them seem to have been pulled into Twisted Wonderland while in the middle of pursuing something.
Adding to the comment above, Yuuna was taken by the carriage while on her way to Tokyo for a modeling audition, in pursuit of her dream 👀 Most interesting!

Tomorrow is my birthday, but instead of feeling happiness or excitement, I feel despair and sadness. My life has been horrible, I've been trying my best for years and nothing has changed for the better, it's the opposite, it seems things are taking a turn for the worse.
I don't want to live another year like this 😔
