I think this whole Yui vs Yuuya is a way to show how both comes into terms of their own identity and how they should perceive others of the same race but not the same identity (Yuuya identifies him as an American while Yui identifies herself as Japanese and see Yuuya as a Japanese when he in fact is an American who threw away his Japanese side because to him the Japanese supposedly suck yet to Yui the Japanese are good as well and blah blah blah blah). <- MESSY

It's more like loads of people here are wasting their time throwing one sided rants against what is a problem of character's personality Also you realize me calling Yui a stereotypical samurai is not exactly a compliment?

Maybe Yui is ignorant of the fact that it's much easier to be an American despite having ancestry somewhere else (which is the case for all Americans who aren't of native blood), and so when she notices "hey, this guy is half-Japanese", her national pride is insulted by his lack of proper behavior. It is incorrect of her to think of it this way, but it is IMO more defensible than the "all things Japanese suck" attitude Yuuya has.

His problem lies in the fact he did not have any Japanese-American mentors or other family members to look up to. He did not learn to love his other heritage and to tell any discreditors to stfu.

So, no, initial hostility is again from Yui's side. As for nobody admitting Yuuya is a prick... Browsing back, pretty much everyone seems to agree that Yuuya is rude. It's just that Yui's bitchyness eclipses Yuuya's rudeness so much it slings of into goddamn orbit. |

Yui seems to be intent on being a thorn in Yuuya's side, constantly harasses him, speaks to him both very aggressively and condensing, ignores the very reason he was brought to this project in the first place, ignores him when he does his job anyway and is unable to keep racist comments to herself on top of that.
Yuuya is just rude. And only to someone who is persistently aggressive and condensing towards him. You'll notice he's very friendly with pretty much everyone else, even the weird girl he just meets in an alley. |

people commenting on this series seem to keep forgetting the director's part in this, whether he willingly diluted yuuya's maturity because he is american, to give the 'japanese point of view' favor. the director might have done it for commercial reasons, or it may be some way to display his patriotism. a childish way, if i may add, to twist other people's original story to fit your world view. certainly yuuya is way less childish in the manga, at least compared to the anime, in terms of his work ethic and the rate he complains. i would say he complains half as much in the manga and comes across less as whining as he does in the anime. when he does complain, it is him asking why Yui hasn't implemented some of the changes he requested on his machine. he would occasionally throw in some scolding, like "is there some issue to japanese's technical capability? is it deficient in some way? if not, why have you not made the adjustments and re-balances i requested?" often followed by Yui's nonsensical, inflammatory, and childish responses. it's much closer to lines of professionalism when he complains, as opposed to the way he does in the anime, while Yui comes across as petty. this is why i am asking if anybody's read the most original story. is manga truer to the real yuuya, or is it the anime so far.

"GET A ROOM YOU TWO!!" You also forgot that Yui's Japanese so of course if anything, he's definitely going to be rude to her and not the others who have nothing to do with his sore spot. Also that weird girl? It's Inia heh.

yuuya probably would never have been rude to yui if it wasnt for that comment she said when they first met, is yuuya being a prick to her yes, is yui being a bitch to him hell yes, would he have been a prick to her if she wasnt a bitch to him first, no he wouldn't have
so yui started all this when you think about it

i mean people are finding an interpreted story by a japanese director targeting mainly japanese audience to see that an american in the story wages verbal warfare and ends up on the losing end every single time--how damn utterly surprising Last edited by jtstellar; 2012-07-23 at 20:21. |
