My point is that both are boastful, and when their weaknesses are shown, they react in their own way, but usually a way that is not too admirable. Sena cries like a little girl (well, her gullibility is that of a little girl and so is her innocence on how she looks at things). Yozora shuts up in insecurity. If you are boastful, make sure you have something to back it up.

Throughout this thread, we've been talking about things such as Sena having a superiority complex, and such. If the notion of being nice does not apply, then what's wrong with having a superiority complex? For that matter, what's wrong with Rika being overly perverted? |

Because we have people making arguments about Yozora being a bully, when that argument stands on absolutely nothing given everyone is flawed and only two members (Kodaka and Yukimura) can be considered remotely respectable.

As for insecure, it is from her reaction. She seems very unsure of herself whenever Kodaka says anything against what she originally wanted. She usually dictates everything to everyone. It could be resignation, but at the same time, I see a lot of insecurity in that she is unsure of what she should have done.

It isn't the reason for her social aptitude, but it's one of her traits that we would consider to be a flaw. Highly offtopic: I was curious about where I got the concept that A should not go through with a prank on B with knowledge of B's gullibility, because I had no idea where I got it from yet it seemed really ingrained into my thinking. Turns out that it was from Bunyan v Jordan, something I haven't looked at in over three years o_O Last edited by frivolity; 2013-02-15 at 04:42. |

Then there's the use of the word bully. One big reason for this is the rather crappy descriptions some biased individual decides to put on wikipedia and carried onto various places about Yozora being a hypocrite for hating on bullies but being a bully herself. Way to miss the nuances of the story. But hey, the boobs are more obvious. I've always advocated reading the novel yourself to draw your own conclusions but can't stem the horde of comprehension challenged. |

With regard to some of the discussion earlier about the end girl, I take a "charting" approach to interpreting the novels, looking at things such as momentum and other extraneous factors that don't lie within the story itself in order to predict the end girl. I support Sena and hope she's the one who crosses the finishing line, but I do think things are looking brighter for Yozora at this point. |

If 'bully' is too loaded of a word for you, then I guess 'prankster' could fit. In the example above, I can see Yozora enjoy pulling pranks, rather than enjoying the torment she gives to her victim. Though this is treading on a thin line since one can certainly argue this counts in the bully category as well (yes, it's subjective, at least among societies and cultures. And no, there's no such thing as a 'crappy description' of bully). But if I see it this way, I can also see parallels to how Sena treats her male fanclubs (which seems to be what most describe as her flaw). Which is, obliviousness to the possible effects of what they are doing. Quote:

The pattern with bullying is it is unprovoked - in Sena's case it's always Sena who started a topic, often directly drawing Yozora in.
I won't dispute Yozora finds amusement in tricking people, sadsim is her trait - in fact the earlier contention on she's a pushover to Kodaka is not always correct - she teases - whether it's tsukomi on his delinquent status, or intentionally causing discomfort (eg the comparing answer part, the point wasn't pretending to be non-friends to get closer - she was sewing seeds of doubt into Kodaka intentionally for her amusement) It's only when Kodaka rebuffs her in a pubic setting (in the club room) that she gets flustered. |

I actually think that Yozora does enjoy the torment of the prank victim to some extent. She does have her limits of course, as seen from her reaction at Sena's hurt response to the fortune telling prank, but that limit is set at a level that is higher than what I would deem acceptable.
