History Headscratchers / YandereSimulator

*** YandereDev said that Raibaru continued practising martial arts until her defeat, even though she didn't like it, because she felt obligated to do so, as all the other students looked up to her as a champion. She doesn't sound like someone who would lose on purpose.

* The swords from the Drama Club use the same attack animations as the katana, indicating that they're sharp. Which raises the question: why does the Drama Club have real, sharp swords that one could actually cut and stab people with? They're supposed to be prop swords, so shouldn't they be made of wood, or polypropelyne, or something else that's not quite as dangerous? High-end prop swords made with steel or aluminium blades exist, but there are three problems. First, even those are not sharpened. Second, they're rather expensive, so they're used for high-end films and plays because that justifies the cost. But a school drama club? Third, prop weapons with any kind of metal blade are banned even in things like LARP and cosplay events because they're too dangerous, so why are they allowed in a prestigious school that has a reputation to uphold AND a headmaster who's paranoid about killers?

*** As for meta reasons: The game isn't finished yet. Of those several dozen planned students, as of August 2016 there are 35 (counting Info-chan and Osana but not the ten delinquents), so it's got a ways to go. See [[https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/621479417378791424 here.]]

** SchmuckBait. I mean what did you ''think'' would happen?

** SchmuckBait. I mean what did you ''think'' would happen? It also serves as a bit of characterisation for her, she's not a coward and she can be pushed too far.

** SmuckBait. I mean what did you ''think'' would happen? It also serves as a bit of characterisation for her, she's not a coward and she can be pushed too far.

** Info-chan likely works for the faculty as well, in exchange for protection.

** School Atmosphere may not be about students being okay with the deaths, but about fear that they themselves are going to die. If the atmosphere is lower they are more paranoid. It raises when they think they don't have a reason to be paranoid anymore, it doesn't mean they aren't grieving (even if in game they aren't).

*** The fact that both Aishis managed to attend a rich private school (i.e. Akademi High School) suggests that the Aishis are a rich family in general, so the 'marrying up' thing is likely. But again, Mr Aishi ''did'' attend Akademi High School as well...

** [[WordOfSaintPaul Mom0ki's]] (admittedly non-canon) explanation is that [[https://soundcloud.com/midori-gurin/why-i-never-show-up-to-class She's not on the roster.]]
** In the game itself, she's just an NPC with no special function[[labelnote:*]] (barring any potential fan-demanded DLC to make her the 11th/12th rival)[[/labelnote]] who will presumably go to class. Until then, she's just an in-joke character in the debug builds who doubles as a second guinea pig for testing features.

** "Someone with only a year of training in boxing and wrestling could easily defeat a martial artist of twenty years experience. (Bruce Lee)". regarding the mindslave, Yandere Chan has destroyed her self preservation. Without that she's TheJuggernaut.
* Matachmaking is here. Good. So what EVIL, MANIPULATIVE, AND SELFISH thing that Ayano will do to get to her Senpai? Getting two people together by helping them work up the courage to reveal their feelings for one another and then have them be a happy couple...what? At this point, Yan Dev saying she's "manipulating" them (along with that [[SarcasmMode EVILLLLL]] picture of Ayano is Narmy. All she did was get two people together because they said nice things to each other. How is that manipulative?

** Well he is most likely richer than most of the students (and as we know Kokona's father is struggling with cash, so it's not just the upper, upper crust that can attend the school ) and even well off people can still want to take advantage of in their eyes a golden goose . Not to mention he would want a girl who loves him, not his money .

** Killing "is" a bad thing, that's the point, but all the rivals we see, or at least most of them, do have some pretty negative traits, they're not "villains" but they're not nice people either ... Osana Najimi is verbally abusive perhaps even physically if she follows all the tsundere traits and is mean to senpai every chance she gets, Kizana Sunobu is arrogant and egotistical, Oka while admittedly a bit sad of a character, is still obsessed with demons and wants to summon them, Muja Kina, like the teacher, is going after a student, Mida Rana is a promiscuous ephebophile, Osoro Shidesu is a delinquent who is also violent, Hanako Yamada (Senpai's sister) has made it her mission to stop him from getting a girlfriend at all costs so that nobody else can have her big brother's attention, that leaves only 3 rivals who are decent people (and we don't even know if they are truly nice people either).
* This is a minor one which can probably just be answered by "it's anime" but how can the sakura trees stay pink for TEN WEEKS IN A ROW? Don't they normally lose their flowers after like 2 weeks?

*** At week 10, maybe, but if they're lost after 2 weeks then any confession cutscenes from week 3 to week 9 would still have the same problem.

** Maybe if everyone's stepping up she's afraid that they'll wonder why she didn't, and she wants to keep that aspect of her more hidden. Still PragmaticVillainy, but less afraid of becoming your victim and more afraid of what everyone else will realize about her if she doesn't step up. Though, like you said, it could change later on, and [=YandereDev=] said that one potential change to the mechanic is that Cowardly personas will never attempt to apprehend you; maybe later on Evil personas will also stay back. The mechanic is brand new, after all.

** First of all, we don't even know if he's aware that The entire Aishi bloodline is filled with yandere women. Even if he is, Yandere Dev [[https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/699327079507107841 has stated]] that they would find a way to continue the family line.
