In this case, the yandere doesn't need love, and the action that should be taken is to get them psychiatric help - because they are mentally ill.
A main problem with a yandere is that a poorly-written yandere can easily become "The Scrappy", a character that the audience hates to see. As outlandish as the trope can be, yandere characters can still be likable as long as they have elements of sympathy with them, but alas, there are a few that lack that key redemptive trait.
A yandere written to be unlikable is more than likely to be a villain of some caliber, planning to cause harm to a more level-headed character in a fit of blind fury simply because their dream relationship fell apart. Another bad sign for a yandere is if they suffer from Erotomania, and delusionally believes that the person they love is in love with them when in reality, the person is either indifferent or wants nothing to do with them.
Unrequited yandere attraction never ends well, and can be very ugly if the yandere goes off the deep end. The most common type of yandere is violent and jealous, but there are other types of yandere written further below. In the west, yandere is basically always associated with the jealous, violent type of yandere , which is the most common. However, given that the word just means "mentally sick and in love," there are other types of yandere which would be recognized only in the Japanese speaking community.
A single yandere can and normally will fit in multiple of these types at a time. In particular, Yuno Gasai fits a dozen of them, which is why she's an ideal example of yandere. All types of yandere can be of any gender and also have any kind of romantic attraction or obsession. Below is a list of yandere types sorted by degree of insanity, ascending;. The most harmless type of yandere , the one where they have fallen in love in an unhealthy, obsessive way, but they don't do anything insane about it.
They will try hard to become your lover, but won't harm anybody in the way. If you get into a relationship with someone, this type of yandere won't attack you two, they'll be happy you found happiness, but perhaps they may still hope that you'll choose them instead one day. This can be associated with megadere , undere , or dorodere.
Harmless type of yandere , who could also be one or three of these types and would not even come close to being a real yandere. They can either be viewed as a crazy, obsessive version of a deredere or a sweet, loyal version of a yandere. They get the wrong idea when something is done in order to match their expectations.
If you say you don't love them, they'll think you're lying because you don't want to hurt them. If you do something out of kindness to them, they'll think it's out of love. This type will try to learn everything about their love interests, including personal information, hobbies, routine, etc. They will send messages regularly to check on their love, asks why they haven't answered if they didn't, wants to know what they're doing always.
And, if possible, walks around with them all the time as well. The obsession type doesn't necessarily want to monopolize you. They'll let you hang around with friends, etc. They probably want to go with you, too. If they can't go somewhere with you, they might stalk you. Will follow a their interest around, often without them knowing.
May be in broad daylight or at night, when they're walking alone on the streets, or even online if relevant. A person of this type is also often of the obsessive type. They want to monopolize their love interest. And will ask who they're talking to and hanging with, in extreme cases won't let them be with anyone else, regardless if they are well known as a mutual friend.
This type of behavior is unfortunately common in real life. It displays insecurities and lack of trust in the relationship which might develop into much worse yandere behavior. Can't live without their love interest, and will beg them to not leave or throw them away. Claim that they will die or kill themselves if they leave. May lose will to do anything if they aren't watching. If their love interest does, in fact, leave; they might go full crazy and end up doing something crazy like going on a murderous rampage.
After their former love turned out to be a completely different person than they loved, got a partner, died or something of the sort, and the yandere can no longer stay with them, they will search for someone who was just like what their love was. This type of yandere is very innocent at first, but if they're given power to dominate their new beloved, they might end up trying to make them more and more like what their old interest was.
For example, wearing the same clothes, doing the same things, etc. Sometimes, this yandere might project their ideal lover not on someone else but on the same person. That is, they might say "you are not them, they do this ," even though they actually are them and they do not do " this ". They love their beloved, maybe they know that, maybe they don't, but not knowing this gives them a crushing depression. They think they'll never love them and they have no chance, but they can't stop their unhealthy feelings of love.
They think their interest is too good for them, or that they're too worthless for them. This makes them slowly fade away, disappearing from their life. Until they completely disappear forever. Usually suicide. This is an atypical yandere , since it has so little effect on other characters' lives. After learning their love died, they lose their purpose in life.
The world for them was their love, and they're now gone. What this results vary. Most of the time, they become broken emotionally, as expected. They might also commit suicide.
Or sometimes, they might become a terrorist and destroy the world that let them die, or just go on revenge serial killing. That's your fault! Next time learn your lesson and stop looking at other people! When jealous, feeling ignored, etc. They'll beat them and claim it's their own fault. This can be either discharging pent-up rage through violence and they just happen to be their favorite punching bag, or deliberately punishing them for doing something they didn't like.
That means they'll probably kidnap them and lock them into their house so they're forced to stay with them. There are variations, some lighter, some worse, but the general idea is that they want themselves and their love to be inseparable.
When their insane love is unrequited for obvious reasons , and they start running away from the crazy person, they'll think it's because they're embarrassed, and not because they don't want them. Their love distorts the reality they perceive. They see a bunch of delusions instead. The delusion type may also be in denial something unpleasant happened.
They'll just forget it happened. Their memories may also be replaced with delusions: they'll remember a love being extremely nice to them when they were actually indifferent, or them saying saying they liked them before they even met. They harm themselves, cutting wrists, etc. This often happens when they're ignored.
The "dependence" type might evolve into this if they are abandoned. First, the one where they harm themselves in secret and have a love notice their injuries, then they say "it's nothing to worry about" hoping they worry about it more.
This is usually something light like a knee bruise. Second, the one where they harm themselves in a love's face as a way to say "I'll kill myself if you leave me", forcing them to stay by their side by guilt. They will remove everyone they think their love doesn't need, which means everyone else.
This can include things like excluding their contacts and messages to even murdering everybody who approaches. First, the one that removes people secretly. They see them hanging with someone, the next day that person has mysteriously disappeared. They, a main character, are probably as clueless as a sheet of sudoku in blank about this incident, and the next several incidents like it.
Second, the one that removes people openly. This also ranges from removing messages to killing people. They might be expecting their love to agree with them, "Yeah, you're right, I don't need other people", or they might just want to show them what they're capable of. Why be always together in life if they can be forever together for all eternity? This type of yandere will propose what no sane person would: let's die!
Yandere can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adjective. In Japanese, the plural of yandere is yandere , but sometimes the regular English plural yanderes is used by English speakers.
Yadere are most often female characters, but male examples do exist. A concept closely related to yandere is yangire. While a yandere acts violently because of love, a yangire acts violently because of some triggering event that brings up their past. Some people regard the yandere archetype as being offensive to people with mental illnesses. Yandere also associates violence with mental illness, which can be harmful, since people with mental illnesses are no more likely to be violent or commit crimes than anyone else, according the US Department of Health and Human Services.
The yandere face , pose , or trance , featuring stylized images of yandere characters, are a popular meme in Japan and in anime communities.
