* WorthyOpponent: When Yuuya asks the Club to help him save Sayuri, Haruka's answer is that she has always really admired Sayuri's skills and appreciated her affection towards the group. She wants to fight for her, even though they're rivals.

* DoomMagnet: Aside from having three sociopathic love interests, Yuuya got hit by a train ''and'' mauled by a wild dog before even reaching adolescence.



* {{Foil}}: In Sayuri's route, her fanatical faith the Knight's story is contrasted with Yuuya's faltering faith in his friends.



* HonorBeforeReason: In Sayuri's route, after she has attempted to murder Shizuka, Yuuya tries to talk some sense into Sayuri over lunch...and then actually '''eats the food''' she offers to him. Surprise, surprise, it turns out to be drugged.



* CrazyPrepared: Presumably the reason why she memorized all school regulations (despite her hatred of studying).

* FalseReassurance: As the trio attacked Yuuya's girlfriend, Kanna reassured Yuuya that they weren't going to hurt ''him''.



* NotGoodWithPeople: It's not immediately apparent (as the story is told from a friend's perspective), but Kanna was very poorly socialized during her childhood and still struggles to interact politely with people. After three days of putting on an 'honor student' act (to impress the student council), she deals with the stress of it by cocooning herself in a classroom's curtain.

* NothingIsScarier: Subscribes to this belief, as shown with her reaction to Kayako kissing Yuuya: she says nothing about it, never lets on that she knows, but days later, Yuuya finds a picture of the kiss anonymously sent to his email account. Fittingly, the climax of her route involves Yuuya searching for her through their darkened, empty school.

** In a more sexual sense, Sayuri has this...thing...for eating Yuuya. No, not eating Yuuya ''out'', but literally eating stuff like his hair and nail clippings.



* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Shizuka accepts Sayuri's apology for injuring her and- rather than publicly embarrass Sayuri by calling for a teacher- offers to discuss the matter with her in private. The ''instant'' Shizuka's back is turned, Sayuri pushes her down the stairs.



* ApologisesALot: She feels pretty guilty over having assumed that Yuuya was a burglar when they first met, although Yuuya himself acknowledges it was a perfectly reasonable mistake (the night was dark, he didn't respond when she called out to him, etc...).



* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:He guilts Yuuya for not enjoying the food Sayuri cooked for him. At this point, Sayuri has kidnapped and handcuffed Yuuya, but apparently that doesn't excuse Yuuya's rudeness.]]



* LoveRedeems: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Kudou's basic plan is to placate Sayuri's insanity by helping her find a guy who will accept and love her unconditionally (as in, 'no matter how much she abuses him or others'). Unfortunately, enabling her delusions only makes them get worse, to the detriment of Sayuri's own sanity and sense of self. He realizes that a compromise must be reached between protecting Sayuri and letting her do whatever she wants.]]

(So hard that he barely cares when Sayuri tells him, upfront, that she had a duplicate made of his house keys. Or when Kanna plants a tracking device on him.

* StockholmSyndrome: He reacts to [[spoiler:Shizuka's injury and near-murder]] by apologizing to its perpetrator for keeping his distance from her and asking if they can be friends again. Unfortunately, [=Yandere!Sayuri=] is not interested in his capitulation and, in fact, it only encourages her to kill ''more'' people. After finding this out, Yuuya is shocked enough that he goes back to avoiding and fearing her, although he does note [[spoiler:while being held captive]] that resisting Stockholm Syndrome has become difficult for him.



* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Not only does Kanna enjoy the thought of Kayako's murder, she can't understand why other people don't.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Usually the forgiver. For example, he gets ticked off when Kanna and Haruka stalk him, but considers Sayuri's "punishment" (which amounts to little more than a stern talking-to) for that excessive enough that he feels bad for them.



* FeaturelessProtagonist: His sprite is only shown during certain CGs.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: His sprite is only shown during certain CGs.[=CG=]s.



* InsecureLoveInterest: Yuuya's fixated on the knowledge that anyone could (see RidiculouslyAverageGuy below) continuously support the trio like he has, so he hasn't realized yet that few people ''would''.



* UnreliableExpositor: Unbeknowst even to himself. [[spoiler:Sayuri wasn't the one mauled by that dog. And it wasn't a mauling so much as a killing.]]

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: At the story's beginning, the God only has one, rarely visited shrine. As "Izaemon" grows in popularity and the God's story is spread amongst more people, its power grows exponentially. [[spoiler:This is NOT a good thing.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:The God is actually a demon. Its first priest claimed otherwise because he was a WellIntentionedExtremist driven by the need to protect Inegami, and he knew no one would be willing to pay the 'cost' of that unless he lied about what it was (and the identity of the being demanding it).]]
* EquivalentExchange: How its powers work. The God does not ''give'' good fortune to worshipers so much as it ''takes'' good fortune from someone else and redirects that to its chosen.

It doesn't matter that Yuuya had no idea what that cost would be. It doesn't matter that he didn't even agree to pay that cost. Yuuya wished that his friends would be together forever, so he is ''going'' to get that. If he changes his mind, or the God [[JackassGenie misinterpreted his words]], well- that's his problem.
* RealAfterAll: No one but Kayoko really believes in the God, so the Club have no qualms about appropriating its legend for their mascot design. And then the murders start happening.
* TheThemeParkVersion: Only a few people had enough skill and access to translate the one book there is of Inegami folklore. Unfortunately, ''all'' of those people had agendas, so their translations censored everything really important about it.

He self-identifies as a "[[http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2009/10/14/language/plant-eating-guys-just-waiting-to-get-chomped-on/#.V-o6PDHJPIU herbivore male]]" and occupies a traditionally feminine role in the narrative- that of the emotional, empathic peacemaker. Kayako is actually bemused by his lack of romantic initiative.
* MrExposition: Yuuya narrates the game (excepting certain bad endings) because only he knows enough about the girls to explain their motivations and provide a nutral neutral perspective.


Added DiffLines:

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: He calmly, politely accuses Sayuri of drugging him.

The usual connotations of loyalty and sociality apply.



* BerserkButton: He absolutely hates unsafe drivers because his parents were killed by one.



* CassandraTruth: Sorta becomes one when being investigated by Kudou. Even though he saw someone murder [[spoiler:Kayako]] in the Izaemon costume, no one else saw the murderer leave in the costume.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: It has been his role since childhood to keep the group unified and (relatively) sane. He knows this, and increasingly grew to resent it as yeays passed and the girls (contrary to his hopes) got ''more'' volatile, not less.

* TheHeart: He is basically the only club member who cares about anyone outside it, or is willing to prioritize the group's wellbeing over his own selfish desires. All interactions with the "outside world" must be mediated by him.

Even when he does start objecting, it's more along the lines of "maybe if I talk to them, they'll snap out of it" than "oh God, Sayuri just attacked someone, I should call the police".

* IJustWantToBeFree: One of the reasons he came up with the Izaemon idea was to encourage the club to be less emotionally reliant on him. He claims outwardly that this will encourage them to reach their full potential, but as the plot progresses it becomes clearer and clearer that he wants to be free from their stifling codependence and sees no other way to achieve that.

* LoveMartyr: In the platonic sense. Yuuya cares about the girls, but he saw [[{{Yandere}} their true selves]] years ago. He dated someone outside the group, and they nearly killed her in retaliation. Ever since, he's been reluctant to even ''talk to'' anyone female, because he knows what the consequences would be if his "friends" caught them. For similar reasons, he considers himself obligated to stay with the club and defuse conflicts within it. [[spoiler:The time comes when even this is not enough.]]
