   Yuno Gasai (我妻 由乃, Gasai Yuno) is the main female protagonist of the Future Diary series. She is the Second in the Survival Game and she is the owner of the "Yukiteru Diary/ Diary of future love". She is obsessed with Yukiteru Amano, the main male protagonist of the story. He is her love interest.

   Appearance

   Yuno Gasai is a young teenage girl with pink eyes and long pink hair tied in pigtails, two strands of hair hanging as frontal locks featuring a pair of red bows, and the back pigtails left bare. Her most common attire consists of a blue shirt with a ribbon on her chest accompanied by a blue skirt with high socks (school uniform), but her wardrobe changes occasionally throughout the series. Personality

   Yuno's personality is ambiguous. For the most part she is sweet, feminine, and sometimes shy when around Yukiteru. But, this masks her dark and sanguinary side—ruthless, cold and calculating. She has little, if any, problem with using and taking advantage of others for her goals: her and Yukiteru's survival. She will resort to cruel and usually violent methods, most of the time coming out of nowhere, that generally end in bloody deaths, of either a Diary Holder or their followers, effectively making her a Yandere.

   YukiYunoStars Yukiteru becomes Yuno's main focus in life after he gives her something to live for. Her brutal personality mostly results from abuse inflicted by her mother and the absence of her father, which finally ended with their deaths two years prior to the Survival Game. This was the beginning of her changes, as she later became quite lonely and sorrowful. This is shown in her somewhat morbid habits of talking to her parents' dead bodies, telling them about her day and claiming she will bring by Yukiteru. She even took their heads with her when she trapped Yukiteru in a hotel, and when Aru Akise moved their bodies, she became angry and said her parents were sleeping and that he woke them up. These events also show her complex feelings about her family. Although she wanted them to feel and understand the pain she experienced because of their abuse, she essentially just feels deeply betrayed by them. She wanted them to be a happy family, but because of their neglectful behavior and their deaths, she felt like her life had no purpose.

   Thus, when Yukiteru told her they would get married when they grew up, he unwittingly became a pillar of support that gave her much-needed stability. Her obsession with Yukiteru grew to escalating proportions to the point that she was willing to harm those who she believed would take Yukiteru away from her, be they friends, rivals, relatives, other girls, etc.

   She was prepared to resort to violence if Yukiteru's mother ever opposed her (which did not happen), stating that she did not "need her tools." Furthermore, she threatened to kill Tsubaki Kasugano, and immediately panicked that Yukiteru's friends Aru Akise, Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka, and Ouji Kosaka would take Yukiteru away from her, forcing Yukiteru to calm her down and announce their official "relationship", much to Yuno's joy and his own despair. At one point she even kidnapped Yukiteru and held him hostage because she was so terrified that another diary user would kill him. Aru has stated that Yukiteru provides a stabilizing influence in her normally chaotic and violent life.

   Despite her insanity, Yuno has shown some reservedness to killing. This is shown when, after Yukiteru calls her his girlfriend, she instantly lets Hinata go when she intended to slit her throat. The fact that she did this rather than killing her anyway to ensure that there was no chance Yukiteru would fall for her suggests that she doesn't actually enjoy killing; she merely does it because she sees no other option. It is shown many times in the series just how deeply insecure Yuno truly is when she says her life would not be worth living if she could not be the center of Yukiteru's world. Her crippling fear of losing him is notably the only thing that can cause her usually disturbing composure to crack.

   In the third world, the Third World Yuno seemed to be very nice and calm, possibly because she still had love for her parents and there was no survival game for them to participate in. This allowed Yuno to stay mentally sane. However, as a side effect of receiving her First World self's memories, it is implied that she might still remember some of the things that occurred in the first world as she states that she feels as if something is missing. Diary & Abilities

   Her diary is the Yukiteru Diary, which tells her everything about Yukiteru in ten minute-intervals. While this means that her diary is basically useless by itself, if combined with Yukiteru's Random Diary that predicts only Yukiteru's surroundings, they can cover each other's weaknesses, making the two a fearsome duo. Even while the diary does not help her much by itself, Yuno can more than enough make up for it with her cunning intelligence, which has saved both Yukiteru and herself multiple times. She quickly formulates most of the plans the pair uses to save themselves from the attacks of the other participants. Yuno is also very proficient at quickly determining the weaknesses of certain diary users, like Yomotsu Hirasaka and his blindness, or discovering that Tsubaki Kasugano's followers were pretending to be dead waiting to ambush them.

   She is also skilled in setting traps, for example when she booby-trapped an abandoned hotel with multiple tools, such as electronic locks, concrete (gas in the anime) and even a sickle in an elevator (also in the anime). Her intelligence, which is her greatest asset, is displayed when she manages to outwit her opponents such as the very formidable Akise.

   Yuno is shown to be quite resourceful. For example, she uses a shard of glass as a mirror to check the position of Minene Uryu during her bombing attack and a pair of stones against Yomotsu to root him out among his copycats.

   In addition to intelligence and cunning, perhaps her most fearsome ability is demonstrating proficiency with any type of weaponry she gets her hands on. These include knives, axes, swords, pistols and submachine guns. She is also fairly knowledgeable of poisons and drugs, although she rarely uses them. She has also demonstrated to be quite skilled in infiltration, as she has on more than one occasion entered a building unnoticed even while it was surrounded by the police.

   Despite her childish appearance, Yuno has demonstrated impressive feats of physical strength, seen when she freed herself from two boys her age pinning her arms down. Another time is when she broke free of two Omekata Cult members when Tsubaki kissed Yukiteru. She killed them too, despite being severely weakened by the excessive amount of physical activity performed at that time, and subsequently chopped off Tsubaki's right hand with one strike.

   Yuno also possesses divine powers from winning the first Diary Game and inheriting the throne of God. An example of such power is moving enormous structures through her will alone, such as when she tried to crush Yukiteru. Plot Overview

   History

   Yuno was adopted by her parents at a young age, her umbilical cord left to her as a present from her original parents, but was kept at the orphanage. Yuno's life was a happy one for several years until the strain of money began to emotionally and psychologically affect her parents. Yuno's father stayed away at work until the late hours and barely interacted with his family. Yuno's mother began to abuse her, wanting her to become the "perfect citizen," eventually locking her in a cage and timing everything she did, from sleeping to eating. Yuno's mother went to the extreme, leaving Yuno to starve and at times force-feeding her inedible materials, although it is implied in the anime that Yuno did this to herself to survive. While Yuno's father objected to his wife's severe treatment of Yuno, he did little to nothing to stop her. In the anime, Yuno's mother was ill and believed she was a terrible wife and mother, and believed punishing Yuno was her only way to earn happiness.

However, she neglected to check in on her parents and they starved to death. Not removing the corpses from her house, Yuno began to act like they were still alive and talked to them, her home's electricity cut off due to unpaid bills. Now with nothing left to live for, Yuno fell into despair, to the point that she was put in detention at school to write up her dreams for the future. Not having any dreams, Yuno turned to the only other person in the classroom: Yukiteru. Asking him what his dreams were, Yuno learned Yukiteru wished to go stargazing with his parents who had recently divorced. His dreams seemingly ruined, Yuno suggested seeing the stars with him. While Yukiteru objected to going with her instead of his family, Yuno proposed becoming his "bride". Believing Yuno to be joking, Yukiteru agreed but only when the pair grew up. However, in Yuno's view, she believed Yukiteru was serious and her whole life became focused on him. Observing him from afar, Yuno stalked Yukiteru. A week after their meeting, Yuno learned Yukiteru had a love letter, planning to give it to fellow student Moe Wakaba. Realising her chances to be with Yukiteru were in jeopardy, Yuno dressed herself up in a pink rabbit costume to stop Yukiteru from giving Moe the letter. Her attempt ultimately failed, but Moe kindly rejected Yukiteru's feelings towards her. Relieved, she kept stalking him.

   The Survival Game

   95 Yuno approaches Yuki to confirm he has a Future Diary. At the beginning of the manga, Yuno is introduced as the ideal student, with good grades and popularity. Already having her diary, Yuno kept an eye on Yukiteru until April 23rd when Deus activated the survival game. On April 24th, Yuno realizes Yukiteru has gained his Future Diary and creates a clay model of Muru Muru on her desk as clue to Yukiteru that both of them are Future Diary Owners and that Deus is not imaginary. She then approaches him after school. Yukiteru runs off in terror, much to Yuno's surprise, until he flees into an elevator of a building. Yuno catches up and joins him in the elevator to save him from the Third.

   Yukiteru tries to pull out a throwing dart to defend himself, only for Yuno to kiss him full on the mouth, stopping him. Yuno explains the survival game, how she and Third are diary owners, and reveals that her phone focuses entirely on Yukiteru's actions. She averts Yukiteru's future by sending the elevator to the top floor instead of the fourteenth, where Third would have killed him had she not intervened. On the roof Yuno swiftly formulates a plan and instructs Yukiteru to destroy Third's diary using his throwing darts. They hide when Third appears on the roof. Yuno catches Third off guard when she runs out in front of him, allowing Yukiteru to throw a dart and pierce Third's phone, erasing him from existence.

   Later, Yuno, Yukiteru and the other diary owners are gathered by Deus who explains the rules of the game.

   YunoYandereFace Yuno's Yandere Face. Afterwards, Yukiteru finds himself alone in the Cathedral of Causality, Yuno appearing behind him and vows to protect him no matter what, terrifying Yukiteru with her adoring look of joy.

   Attack of The Ninth

   After sending forty text messages to Yukiteru, Yuno is thrilled to be in his company again. The next day, Yukiteru approaches Yuno to ask for help in the game, although she departs to a P.E. class with the promise to talk to him later. However, Minene Uryu, the Ninth diary owner, arrives to kill Yukiteru. Yuno attacks her with a fire extinguisher and manages to save Yukiteru from the first bomb exploding in the middle school.

   Yuno promises Yukiteru to protect him. Afraid of dying, Yukiteru plays along with Yuno in order to protect himself and the two share a kiss. Sneaking through the school, the duo use their diaries to evade most of Minene's bombs but eventually are lured into a trap and caught in a blast. They survive but Yukiteru laments over his decision to be a bystander, however, Yuno reveals she has been watching him for a while and promises him that the other students and staff members are his friends. The two make it to the other side of the school, only for several students including Ouji Kosaka to ambush Yukiteru and drag him outside to be sacrificed to Minene.

   Happy End Text Yuno's "Happy End" entry on her diary. Yuno is taken into a classroom where she watches Yukiteru falling into despair. Realising she lied to Yukiteru, Yuno vows to protect him. She frees herself from her captors and races out of the school, causing all of the motion-sensor bombs to go off until she eventually leaps out a window and tries to launch a surprise attack on Minene. At this point, Kurusu Keigo, the Fourth diary owner, has arrived to aid Yukiteru. Yukiteru charges at Minene, Yuno using her Yukiteru Diary to help Yukiteru avoid the landmines between him and Minene. Minene realised that Yuno is a Diary Owner as well, kicks Yuno away, leaving Yukiteru to use his common sense to dodge the final mine and wound Minene in the eye with a dart. Minene retreats on a motorbike using her Escape Diary.

   Later, Kurusu forms the Future Diary Alliance with Yukiteru and Yuno. Yuno reads her diary, finding the "Happy End" entry on July 28th, predicting that she and Yukiteru will come together as one.

   Cult of The Sixth

   Mirai Nikki - 03 - Large 35 Yuno is distraught when Yuki finds the hidden room in her house. Kurusu arranges for Yukiteru and Yuno to visit Sakurami City's amusement park in order to lure out Minene. Yukiteru and Yuno spent the day together, Yukiteru observed how Yuno did have a normal side after all. Yuno tries to go to the planetarium, but Yukiteru deliberately avoids it, choosing to go on the nearby Ferris wheel instead. Yuno confronts Yukiteru about his odd behavior, reminding him of their past encounter and the promise they made go stargazing together and become a couple, much to Yukiteru's shock as he realised that Yuno took his joke seriously. Yuno gives Yukiteru a kiss on the forehead afterward.

   Yukiteru escorts Yuno to her house, although Yuno invites him inside. The electricity is out, and Yuno disappears into the kitchen to prepare an apple for her and Yukiteru to share. Yukiteru wanders off into the pitch black house to find the bathroom but comes across the sealed off room where the three corpses are. Reading the entries in his diary which only briefly note the door, Yukiteru decides to experiment and alter the future by looking inside the room. As he opens the door, all of the Future Diaries are completely rewritten. Yukiteru opens the door and finds the three corpses inside, altering the planned out future of the survival game and nearly destroying Deus' Cathedral of Causality. Yuno finds Yukiteru, horrified at what has happened, her diary's "Happy End" vanishing. Yukiteru flees her home in terror, running to his own house and locking himself inside, where he collapses by the door to catch his breath and regain his energy. Yuno follows, suddenly looking through the letterbox and wishing Yukiteru a good night.

   The next day, Kurusu arrives at Yukiteru's house to pick him up, but as Yukiteru tries to tell him about the discoveries of last night, Yuno appears telling Yukiteru not to give away "what happened". Kurusu immediately assumes the two got up to something private and hops into the car, Yuno giving Yukiteru an innocent smile. Yukiteru, still cautious, hops into the passenger seat but has Yuno staring at him from behind all the way down the highway. Kurusu explains that Minene was captured overnight by the Omekata Temple cult, led by priestess Tsubaki Kasugano who is said to be able to predict the future through clairvoyance. They agree to meet the priestess in order to obtain and seize Minene.

   When they arrive at the cult, Yuno watches Yukiteru as he approaches a pond while Kurusu talks to Orin Miyashiro. She catches him when he falls on his back, and finally accompanies him when Kurusu calls them. Tsubaki meets them and agrees to an exchange: she would hand over the Ninth in exchange for the First, since her diary has predicted her Dead End that night and he has escaped from the Dead End twice. Yuno immediately disagrees, but Yukiteru agrees to the deal and goes with Tsubaki.

   That night, the cult followers fall into a deep state of hypnosis and become puppets for the Twelfth diary holder. They begin their attack against their leader, setting her chamber on fire. Armed with an axe, Yuno attacks and kills various followers to protect Yukiteru, but then she notices him running towards Tsubaki to save her. She catches up with him quickly and tells him that he has to either leave Tsubaki behind and join her or he would die. However, he tells Yuno he wasn't going to leave her behind, and hurries to her cage, leaving behind a crying Yuno.

   Luckily, Kurusu was able to put down the fire by turning on the sprinklers, saving Tsubaki, Yuno and Yukiteru. However, the cult followers were still under the control of the Twelfth, so Yuno decides to lead Yukiteru (and Tsubaki, after he insisted on saving her too) towards the exit and leave the place. On the way, however, they are intercepted by the Twelfth himself, who is disguised among other four who look exactly like him. The five Twelfths race towards the trio, but Yuno (remembering the Twelfth was blind) turns that information in her favor to detect the real Twelfth and kill him in the spot with a swing of her axe.

   Yuno Angry Yuno rages after Tsubaki kisses Yuki. With the Twelfth dead, the cult followers regain consciousness and Tsubaki reveals her true colours as she captures Yukiteru and Yuno. Revealing she planned this all along, Tsubaki kisses Yukiteru in order to taunt Yuno, which immediately provokes her rage. Yuno sets herself free by killing the men who were holding her and is able to grab her axe and swing it at Tsubaki. She barely saves her diary, but loses one of her hands to Yuno's axe. While she screams in pain, Yuno gives her diary to Yukiteru and pushes him out of the way, letting him escape with his and Yuno's Future Diaries, which shows Yuno's trust in Yuki.

   The exhausted Yuno is dragged into the temple where the enraged, now one-handed Tsubaki contemplates what to do with her captive. Acknowledging she has to lure Yukiteru back, Tsubaki sets up a microphone and instructs her male followers to strip Yuno of her clothes and rape her like they did to her, while speaking to Yukiteru over the microphone and speakers to come rescue Yuno before she is molested. Yuno screams that she would rather lose her virginity to Yukiteru than Tsubaki's followers ("I was saving myself for Yukkii!"),and after thinking about her while in hiding, he decides he cannot leave her, and he charges into the temple clumsily, throwing a fire axe around. Yukiteru wraps Yuno up in his jacket and confronts Tsubaki, showing his care towards Yuno and ultimately choosing her instead of Tsubaki, then ultimately forced to damage her Clairvoyance Diary and eliminate her from the game. Yuno hugs Yukiteru's legs and cries. Later the two are seen in the back of a police van, Yukiteru confused by why Yuno stalks him as he takes her face in his hand and kisses her.

   Download (14) The Fifth's Game

   Yukiteru goes to meet his mother, Rea Amano, at the train terminal where she is finally arriving home from work, leaving the house unguarded. Yuno breaks into his house by using a mallet and a roll of shipping tape, preventing the glass from shattering but breaking it just enough to unlock the door and enter the house. To his horror, Yukiteru discovers that Yuno has broken in and quickly attempts to hide her from his mother, but when he finds her cleaning his room and rearranging all of his books (including his stash of naughty magazines), Rea meets Yuno. Yukiteru is quickly off-put when he finds that Rea likes Yuno and supports their relationship, so much that she allows her to stay the night, in Yukiteru's room. Yuno quietly reflects to herself that she is glad she didn't have to do anything to Yukiteru's mother, and that her "tools" would not be useful here. This quickly turns out not to be the case, however, when Rea informs them that she is bringing home a little boy whose parents were both victims of the Omekata cult suicide.

   This boy turns out to be Fifth, Reisuke Houjou, a Future Diary owner who wants to kill both First and Second.

   After trying and failing to kill Yuno several times, Reisuke quickly becomes entertained with her, and starts to put his cunning skills to work. After Yukiteru discovers that Reisuke is the Fifth, he refuses to fight him and tells Yuno to stop fighting him as well, opting instead to try to find out where his Diary is, so that his mother will not be involved. Yuno ignores him and tries to kill Fifth anyway. While Yuno is chasing down Fifth, she accidentally hits Rea in the back of the head with a mallet, knocking her out and causing Yuki to become enraged. To make up for it, she promises Yukiteru that they will find Fifth's Future Diary and take it away from him instead, as he had originally planned, but they are unable to find it.

   Yuno finally realizes that Fifth's Future Diary is being mailed back to them, and Yukiteru gets his hands on the envelope first, but unbeknownst to either Yukiteru or Yuno, Reisuke booby-trapped the envelope with poison gas, which releases into the house instantly and causes Yukiteru to collapse. While Yuno moves Yukiteru to safety, Fifth is able to get away, and his game begins. Reisuke reveals that he has the antidote to Yukiteru's poison in his bag, which he is running around with, provoking Yuno to chase him down. Yuno is able to overcome all of Fifth's traps in order to corner him, but is electrocuted when Fifth turns on all of the water upstairs and floods the stairwell, then breaks a lamp to send the electric current into the water. At first, Yuno is incapacitated, but Yukiteru saves her life by throwing a dart at Fifth, and resuscitating Yuno by breathing into her mouth. Yuno gets back up and fatally stabs the Fifth and his Future Diary.

   However, after being defeated, Reisuke gives Yuno a warning about her future with Yukiteru: there can be only one survivor, and they will have to eventually try to kill each other. Immediately after Fifth dies and disappears, Yuno collapses again, only for both she and Yukiteru to be saved by Ninth.

   Tenth's Trap

   Yukiteru and Yuno are relocated to a different school after Ninth bombed their old one. Here, Yuki is reunited with his former friend, Kousaka, who slams his name the second he walks in because of the terrorist incident. This is when Hinata and Mao Nonosaka show up, both aiding Yukiteru. After the morning's festivities, Yukiteru is invited to hang out with the group at the scene of a murder. Yukiteru, oblivious to any danger and eager to hang out with his new friends, happily joins along, taking a silent, begrudging Yuno with him. While the four of them have fun, Yuno sits on the sidelines. It is heavily implied that she is thinking about killing Yukiteru's new friends, especially when she traces the word "Die" in the ground with her shoe repeatedly.

   While the trio are hanging out, Yukiteru's Future Diary suddenly changes, revealing Hinata's death. Yukiteru rushes to the scene, but is too late to find Hinata, who had apparently been mauled by a pack of murderous dogs. Aru Akise arrives on the scene and reveals that he has been watching Yukiteru since the beginning when the group see the same dogs, who in turn see the group and start getting ready to attack. Yukiteru and his friends run to a nearby building surrounded by glass windows. The dogs attempt to break in, but Yukiteru reveals the truth about his Future Diary just in time to order his friends around to stop the dogs in synchronized order. Mao, who initially appears impressed, suddenly comes around to Yukiteru's side and steals his phone in a nonchalant fashion before holding a knife to his throat, as Hinata comes in behind them. After giving a short speech, revealing that she holds Tenth's diary, and is actually after the diary that she believes belongs to Akise.

   Hinata is challenged by Akise to a gamble: if he wins, he gets Yukiteru's diary back, and if he loses, he will give up his own. By using Yukiteru's diary's weakness against Hinata, at Yuno's request, Akise is able to defeat Hinata in the gamble, winning back both Yukiteru and his diary, as well as revealing that he never had a diary. However, when Yukiteru is being released by Mao, Yuno rushes forward, pulls out her knife and stabs her. Hinata is left alone to take care of Mao while Yukiteru and his friends run away. Not content to leave her unattended, and highly upset with the outcome of their situation, Yukiteru turns back around to prove to Hinata that he meant to be her friend, and Yuno follows. However, when they get there, Yuno immediately ran up to hold Hinata at knifepoint for her diary. This is where Yukiteru declares his relationship for Yuno, in an attempt to get her to calm down. Yuno is ecstatic, but Yuki has his reservations.

   Immediately after this, Karyuudo Tsukishima, Hinata's father, gives his final speech to his daughter via the dog's intercom before revealing that the man who had come to kill him was Fourth, Yukiteru's next enemy. Immediately after, Fourth shoots Tenth in the back of the head and kills him.

   The Fourth's Betrayal

   Instead of working with Yukiteru and Yuno to stop the survival game (and with Ninth to apprehend other players), Kurusu decides to break the alliance with them to kill them and become God himself. He devises a plan in order to kill Yukiteru and Yuno, without committing a crime himself, so that he can still use his Diary after killing them. Fourth provokes Yuno into committing a crime by playing a game of Russian roulette with Yukiteru during his interrogation process, causing Yuno's diary to change. In response, Yuno knocks out two detectives with a fire extinguisher and steals their guns, using them to attempt to kill Fourth before he can pull the trigger on his last round and kill Yukiteru. She succeeds in saving Yukiteru's life but fails to kill Kurusu. After a heated chase, Yukiteru and Yuno escape the police office, but are now wanted fugitives who have attempted to murder a police officer.

   After spotting Fourth's wife, Naoko Kurusu, whom they had met in a rehearsal wedding ceremony not too long before, Yukiteru and Yuno follow her to the hospital, where Uryuu Minene is waiting for them. After a few bombs go off, Minene agrees to call a truce between the three, revealing that she is also being hunted down by Kurusu. Minene takes Yukiteru and Yuno to the hospital room that Naoko was headed for, where they find her and Yoi Kurusu, Fourth's son. Here, they discover that Yoi is dying, and that Kurusu wants to become God so that he can reverse time to save his son. Yukiteru, Yuno, and Minene form a new alliance, aiming to take down Kurusu, but all three of their Future Diaries are showing Dead End flags, indicating that Kurusu is coming for them.

   While trying to escape the hospital, Ninth runs into Masumi Nishijima, Kurusu's second in command, and realizes how to defeat Fourth. After Yuno detonates a flashbang grenade in Fourth's face, thinking that it was a real grenade and preparing herself to sacrifice her own life for Yukiteru, all three of them are knocked out. Shortly after this, a bomb that Ninth had planted explodes, leaving Yukiteru, Yuno and Kurusu in a bombed-out shell of a hospital. Yukiteru picks up a gun and aims it at Kurusu, who is using Yuno as a human shield. Yukiteru manages to shoot Kurusu, despite his own Diary predicting Yuno's death instead. Not too long after this gunshot, Nishijima shows up with Ninth, who has a taped recording of Kurusu's voice, explaining how he has been breaking the law. This revelation allows Yukiteru and Yuno to escape, their criminal records wiped clean as well. Before breaking his own Diary, Fourth asks Ninth to take care of his son. Ninth agrees, and Fourth dies by breaking his own Diary.

   Rescue Operation

   Being a couple Yukiteru and Yuno would plan on a trip for both disappearing for several days. Yuno on her desperation of being tagged by Akise and have her Happy End ruined decides to secretly kidnap Yukiteru and have him secluded so the two of them can be happy in the end.

   Yukiteru's friends Hinata, Mao and Kousaka would be enlisted to help by Akise and Nishijima, as Yuno has hidden in an old residential area full of hotels, some of them owned by her parents, and Yukiteru's friends would not alert her as much as the police. Yuno discovers that they are tagging her and eventually tricks Hinata into thinking Yukiteru escaped and sent a message asking for her, Hinata does arrive but Yuno attacks her and has her tied up. She uses the same trick to lure the rest of them, using a mannequin of Yukiteru to trap them in a room and bury them in concrete (gas in the anime). Yuno almost naked, tries to feed a barely conscious Yukiteru while Hinata confronts her about what she is doing, Yuno believing Yukiteru is content. She is interrupted by Akise who claims to Yuno he wants to negotiate with her and blackmails her with the corpses found at her home, planning to tell the police about them and asks her about the third corpse's identity.

   Yuno is at first enraged that Akise would defile her parents' corpses, but goes silent after hearing of the third one. She then bursts in hysterical laughter, repressing her memories in a fit of despair, while madly talking to Yukiteru that they are "weird people" and cuts communications. Eventually thanks to Kousaka he is be able to use the ventilation shaft and sneak into the control room where Yukiteru and Hinata are confined. Yuno, not knowing who Kousaka is, expresses shock that he has a Diary. Listening to his explanation, she deduces Kousaka is not very smart and tricks him into giving her the key to the control room and later that of Yukiteru's.

   Throwing him the first key, Yuno uses the chance to pull out a crossbow while Kousaka frees Mao and Akise. Yuno coldly shoots him in the leg whilst pointing out his failure, however, before she can kill him, Yukiteru is freed by Hinata. Snatching the crossbow from Yuno, Yukiteru slaps her and stops her, saving Kosaka and freeing Hinata in the process. Seeing Yukiteru leaving with his friends, Yuno desperately tries to call out to him, however, an enraged Yukiteru tells her to go to hell. Sad and alone Yuno resolves that Yukiteru is not safe without her and goes after him.

   The Seventh's Battle Of Love

   After the breakup, Yukiteru would soon be a target of both The Seventh duo Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami as well as The Eighth, Kamado Ueshita and her orphan army. Yukiteru would be put under protection by Akise who uses Kosaka's house as a stronghold with a system to nullify the Apprentice Diaries of Kamado. Yuno however infiltrates the house and renders the jamming system useless in an attempt to prove herself worthy of Yukiteru again by protecting him. Yukiteru quickly deduces her intentions and thinking her to be more of a danger than an asset, deciding to have Yuno come to him with her hands tied. With the police and Nishijima overwhelmed by The Seventh, Yukiteru has to run for his life with Yuno, Hinata and Mao.

   Hinata and Mao would eventually be injured by them while Yuno suggests they should let them die and run away. Yukiteru is cornered in a room. Worried about Hinata and Mao and the incoming Seventh, with little choice Yukiteru decides to free Yuno. The Seventh catch up to them and with their Apprentice Diaries rendered useless by Akise who turns the jammer manually, the duo use their real diaries. Ai throws a knife which Yuno blocks, being praised by Yukiteru. She becomes so happy that she successfully parries each and every knife thrown by Ai, leaving the shocked Sevenths with no choice but to retreat. Yukiteru worried about his friends decides to follow them, but the house is put on fire by an orphan of Kamado. Yukiteru and Yuno eventually encounter The Seventh and the pairs battle under fire. Yukiteru not knowing if he can trust Yuno leaves her be without helping her, which causes Yuno to be defeated by Ai and Marco. Enraged by Yukiteru's behaviour, Marco takes both their diaries thinking they can be useful alive while also giving them another chance. Given the terrible loss, they would be rushed to the hospital.

   While in the hospital, Yuno escapes her room to check on Yukiteru who is reunited with his father Kurou Amano and play sport competitions courtesy of Minene. Yuno stalks them with knife in hand as she is unaware who Kurou is, but finds herself relieved that he is Yukiteru's father and that she does not have to resort to violence.

   Eventually however, Yuno would stalk Kurou and discover his plans to destroy Yukiteru's cellphone to have his debts paid by The Eleventh, John Bacchus as she overhears his conversation with him by phone. Yuno quickly warns Yukiteru about this but he's distrustful, while Yuno attempts to kill him but Yukiteru stops her from taking drastic actions while Yuno asks him who he trusts more.

   Yuno would receive a call from Marco, telling her to do not harm Kurou or risk her Diary to be destroyed along with Yukiteru's since Kurou can lead them to The Eleventh. They order the three of them to go to Sakurami Tower which they comply, Yuno using this chance to see to Kurou's real intentions. Reaching to the cathedral within the tower, Kurou tries to get a hold of Yukiteru's cellphone, but is beaten by Marco. Yukiteru rushes to rescue his father to no avail, and during the distraction, Kurou reaches Yukiteru's cellphone and breaks it, only to find out it is a fake. With his intentions crystal clear, Yuno rushes against Ai, and slashes at her flowers, which had the true Diaries hidden. Eventually the tower is bombarded and the floor collapses with Yukiteru falling, Yuno and Kurou try to aid him, and Yukiteru prefers Yuno over his father.

   The two of them decide to retreat with The Seventh duo following. While Yukiteru is not sure of their chances given their last battle, Yuno reprimands him that it was his fault for not trusting her that they were defeated and tells him her plan. The Seventh duo reach Yuno who is alone while Yukiteru broadcasts he will fight hidden. Marco enraged attacks Yuno and disarms her knife with her teeth, with Ai is soon to restrain her, while Marco decides to go after Yukiteru. Ai points that they cannot win two vs one, to which Yuno agrees, revealing Yukiteru having hidden close to them instead of the broadcast room. Yukiteru throws a dart against Ai, and Marco warns her to avoid it, however Yuno uses the chance to slice her throat, with Yukiteru disapproving of her extreme violence and that taking her Diary was the best choice. The tower starts to collapse further and they have to use parachutes, one is used by Kurou who escapes the tower. Debris falls on them and Yukiteru, Yuno and Ai are trapped.

   Ai tells them that they have lost since Marco is still alive and outside. Yuno agrees but plans to use Ai as hostage to force Marco to take them out, Yukiteru however believes this to be extreme. Marco does try to help but not because of Yuno's threats but because he loves Ai. During this time Marco uses this chance to reprimand Yukiteru for his cowardice in letting Yuno do all the dirty work, and Yuno for being selfish and do whatever she wants rather than cooperate with Yukiteru. Hearing this Yukiteru decides to help Marco and asks Yuno for her help, while initially unsure she is encouraged by Yukiteru who wants to believe on her and she helps. Escaping the debris they take the remaining parachute since Marco does not want to live without Ai. Yukiteru and Yuno descend, Yukiteru wanting to make things right with his family and asking for Yuno's support, to which she agrees. After descending the two encounter Nishijima, and is witness to how Yuki's mother's corpse is being taken by an ambulance. Ai dies of exsanguination and Marco dies, unable to escape when the tower falls down, which means The Seventh are successfully eliminated.

   The Eleventh's Kingdom

   While Yukiteru mourns the death of his mother, Yuno prepares him sandwiches and a message to cheer him up. The next morning while Yukiteru follows his father in an attempt to prove he's guilty for his mother's death, Yuno is brought by Nishijima for questioning regarding the third corpse in her house, but she does not reply and simply leaves. A brief time later she reads her diary entry that Yukiteru is under attack by John Bacchus' men who are disguised as security guards, and rushes to help him all the while cursing Nishijima for his questioning and thinking she will kill him if she is late to save Yukiteru.

   While Yukiteru confronts Bacchus' men by himself, Yuno arrives at the shrine and kills the last guard. Yuki's father was killed by Bacchus' men. Heartbroken by the loss of his parents, Yukiteru tells Yuno that he will become God even if he must kill her while pointing a knife blade towards her neck. In response, Yuno embraces Yukiteru and kisses him, claiming that she is more than willing to die for him since her death is her future.

   Days later the two are missing and during a meeting of participants The Eleventh proposes that the two are to be eliminated from existence. Before Deus does so, they appear in The Cathedral of Causality embracing each other, while Yukiteru reveals Bacchus to be the Eleventh, Sakurami City's mayor and reveals that the two were gathering information of him through The Random Diary, prompting Deus to remove the shaded cover on their identities. As soon as Yukiteru finishes his speech, Yuno congrats him for looking so cool while she changes clothes in front of him and gives him the next step of her plan in a script, as she tells him that John most likely closed Ueshita's orphanage to corner her to take possession of her Blog Diary and create an army of Apprentice Users. As Yukiteru begins to doubt if he truly can go ahead, Yuno launches herself towards Yukiteru kindly embracing him and telling him that she won't forgive him if he isn't serious about what he said before about becoming God.

   The following day Yukiteru and Yuno manage to ally themselves with Ueshita and her army of orphans. While Yukiteru explains the plan and the two sides prepare to ambush John, Yuno signals Yukiteru. Soon after the two bands ambush John and are successful in killing most of his guards, however John activates a jammer on his car which renders the Apprentice Diaries useless. Both Yukiteru and Yuno use this chance to kill the orphans and then attack Ueshita and John. The two of them escape while Yukiteru and Yuno follow via car. Yuno shoots at the car but the bullets miss. Yukiteru suggests John's diary must be like his own that predicts his surroundings, and Yuno attempts to gun John himself, but also misses. Dumbfounded Yukiteru desperately rams his car and the two parties fall without injuries. Yukiteru and Yuno corner John but Akise arrives with the help of Minene, the distraction causing Nishijima to shoot at Yuno's gun to disarm her. Akise reveals that the Yuno here is a fake as the third corpse found in Yuno's house is in fact the real Yuno Gasai, positively identified via DNA test with an umbilical cord left at the orphanage the real Yuno was adopted from. Yuno desperately cries and asks Yukiteru to believe her, while he briefly separates from her, Yuno desperately tries to call to him. Yukiteru soon protects Yuno from John's gun, and John soon takes his leave. Yukiteru and Yuno decide to leave while Akise tries to convince him otherwise, but Yukiteru claims Yuno is Yuno and they leave.

   Yukiteru and Yuno decide to remain hidden until Minene strikes at John's office. They use her as a bait to successfully infiltrate with Yukiteru saving Minene while Yuno creates a ruckus, killing many of John's men with a submachinegun and slicing the remaining ones with a katana. Yuno soon takes civilians hostage to have a leverage over John. Yukiteru, at this point, instructs Yuno to rescue his friends while Minene and Yukiteru deal with John. Yuno successfully rescues Kousaka, Mao and Hinata from death by killing John's men, while she makes her way to Ueshita to kill her. She finds her but is being protected by Akise who blocks her attack with a tonfa. Enraged, she attacks again, but her diary predicts that Yukiteru wrote his last words (a trick used by him on purpose to force Yuno to come to his aid and change the future) and soon rushes to Yukiteru's side, while Yukiteru proves victorious over Minene by using the noise from his diary to distract her for long enough to have the faster pull of the trigger.

   Yuno soon reaches him, discovering that with her last act, Minene attempted to destroy the vault door so that Yukiteru could kill John. Yukiteru claims Minene died for him in vain, mourning her loss, but Yuno encourages him to destroy the Holon so that Minene's death is not in vain, which he does. As soon as he walks away, Yuno uses the retinal scanner to successfully open the vault and decapitates John in the manga; or shoots him in the head in the anime. Akise saw Yuno open the vault so that he knows that this Yuno is not a fake. Yukiteru asks her how she was capable of killing John and she replies that she ambushed him while he left the vault. Yukiteru predicts that Yuno opened the vault in the anime, and does not question her. The two proceed to leave to Yukiteru's house to sleep after they endeavor. Yukiteru awakens, only to see that Yuno is half-naked sleeping besides him with his hand on her breast, which Yuno forced on purpose, unnoticed. Yukiteru screams in surprise while Yuno greets him, but the dumbfounded Yukiteru demands she put on her clothes. The two decide to have breakfast as the only Diary Owner left besides themselves remaining is Kamado who is under Akise's guard and is such easy to reach. While the two contemplate what to do later, Yukiteru's house starts to collapse.

   The End Begins

   Following John's demise, Yuno and Yukiteru witness several voids that are destroying the world. Yuno concludes that Deus is dying and therefore they must act fast, encouraging Yukiteru to become God so he can return the dead back to life. Yukiteru and Yuno soon go to Akise's house, where he reveals that he has been given an Apprentice Diary by Kamado in exchange for protecting her.

   Yuno asks about The Eighth's location, but Akise merely asks her to leave, saying that he wants to speak with Yukiteru. Enraged, she tries to stab Akise, only to find that he has a protective vest; she attempts to use a stun-gun, but Akise blocks it with a rubber glove. He reveals the powers of his Detective Diary to both of them; it can predict the future even if other diary holders try to change it. Realizing that this is a distraction, Yuno tells Yukiteru to follow his friends and Kamado while she handles Akise.

   As Yukiteru goes on the chase, Yuno battles Akise, only to be defeated and pinned to the ground. Seeing no other escape, she stabs herself, forcing Akise to heal her - he would otherwise risk making enemies with Yukiteru. Akise reluctantly does so before leaving to find Yukiteru, giving Yuno a chance to call him herself. She tells him that she was stabbed by Akise and that Yuno's diary shows his friends are betraying him, a claim his own diary seems to confirm. Yuki therefore believes that his friends are indeed betraying him. Moments later, Yuno's diary reports that Yukiteru has shot Hinata with his gun (which means Yuki believed her lie), prompting the Second to laugh maniacally and declare that anybody who tries to separate Yuki from her should die.

   Despite her injuries, Yuno manages to track down Yukiteru, finding him being confronted by Akise over her deceptions. She tells Yukiteru not to believe a word he says, flying into a rage when Akise deliberately kisses Yukiteru, challenging Yuno. Declaring that Akise will die here and now, Yuno charges to meet the Observer as he uses a pipe from the rubble as a weapon. With his Detective Diary, Akise avoids Yuno's attacks before breaking her diary...

   ...but Yuno simply keeps going and slashes his throat, telling Yukiteru that Akise destroyed a fake diary. She brushes off his confusion by urging him to find and kill Kamado before she gets away again, and ends up stabbing the Eighth to death when they find her buried under rubble. Shortly afterwards, they notice Akise staggering towards them, typing a message on his phone. Suspecting danger, Yuno decapitates Akise as he approaches Yukiteru, but the headless body keeps going. In desperation, Yuno slices Akise's phone in two, but she is too late to stop Yukiteru from reading the message on its screen.

   The Final Battle

   Now the only diary owners left alive, Yuno and Yukiteru live their final days before July 28th (when the world is destined to end, as well as the date of the "Happy End" shown in Yuno's diary). Yuno becomes upset that her advances towards Yukiteru are brushed off (such as her invitation for them to take a bath together) and Yukiteru realizes that despite her insane tendencies, Yuno really does love him. Yukiteru decides to sleep with Yuno on the 27th, changing the "Happy End" future to a day early. Afterwards, Yukiteru asks Yuno why she lied to him about the powers gained as the winner of the Survivor games, commenting on the strange message Aru showed him before he died. Clearly upset over this, Yuno asks Yukiteru to explain what Aru's message said; upon learning that Akise discovered that the present Yuno was in fact from another timeline, she suddenly attacks Yukiteru with an axe.

   Yukiteru is saved by Muru Muru, now acting as God in the wake of Deus's demise. Against Yuno's wishes, she shows Yukiteru flashes of Yuno's past, confirming that she is indeed from a previous timeline where the Survival Game was held. In this "first world", Yuno and Yukiteru were the only remaining candidates as the world teetered on the brink of collapse. Unwilling to kill each other even to become God, they decided to commit double suicide and let the world be destroyed. However, Yuno tricked Yukiteru by hiding the pills in her mouth instead of swallowing them, believing that she could revive him with the powers of a God. After gaining Deus' powers, however, she discovered that she cannot bring the dead back to life, leaving her devastated. At the suggestion of Muru Muru, Yuno uses her new powers to travel back in time to when Yukiteru was still alive, crossing the dimensional borders and creating a new timeline shortly after Yuno promised to go stargazing with Yukiteru and to become his future bride. Sneaking into her second self's house, Yuno butchers her counterpart with an axe. The second Yuno writes the Japanese phrase for "Help me!" in blood before dying; afterwards, Yuno is given her counterpart's (self in second world) Yukiteru Diary by Muru Muru (who had similarly imprisoned and replaced her second world self). Thus, the current events throughout the series happens in the second world and Akise cut up her second world self's diary.

   After Yukiteru has seen these events, Muru Muru releases him from the visions so that he can confront Yuno. Yuno attempts to kill him, but Minene, revealed to have survived her death thanks to Deus' interference (Minene here however doesn't count as an official participant), joins in to help Yukiteru. Deciding to cut her losses, Yuno once again leaps back in time with Muru Muru, creating a third world with the intentions of starting her vicious cycle all over again.

   Yukiteru and the Ninth follow, arriving two years earlier at the home of the third world's Yuno. After freeing her from her cage, Yukiteru and the third Yuno are carried away to the middle school by Minene, where the first world Yuno ambushes them. While Minene battles Muru Muru, Yukiteru hides the third Yuno and then battles the first to seize her diary. Yuno angrily vents at her boyfriend, angered that the universe won't let them be together. She orders Muru Muru to remove her bracelets, unlocking her true superhuman powers to defeat Minene. With the former Ninth out of the way, Yuno captures Yukiteru and imprisons him in an illusion-based dream world so he can be happy, but he is horrified to learn that he cannot speak Yuno's name - Yuno revealed she does not exist in the illusion world. She finally admits that their relationship was a sham on both sides - Yuno was emotionally dependent on Yukiteru, and he depended on her as a bodyguard in the Survival Game - but despite her words, she finds herself unable to kill Yukiteru. Explaining that the illusion world is a way for Yukiteru to move on without her, Yuno leaves him to his prison, placing Moe Wakaba as his make-believe girlfriend.

   After sealing Yukiteru, Yuno attempts to kill the third Yuno to take her place, but first informs her younger counterpart of the nightmarish fate that awaits her. However, to Yuno's surprise, her third world self optimistically denies such a life, convinced her parents will sort things out. As a horrified Yuno realizes how twisted she has become, her counterpart asks if she loves someone; admitting that she does, Yuno tries to kill her third world self with a knife. However, Yuno's father intervenes to protect his daughter, quickly joined by Yuno's mother and Kurusu enters, aiming his gun at Yuno.

   Seeing her other self's parents acting so protectively, Yuno realizes that Yukiteru deliberately changed the timeline to prevent the Survival Game, improving the lives of the would-be participants in the process. Finally accepting how much she loves him, she suicidally charges at the Gasai family, provoking Kurusu into firing his gun at her. However, she is saved when Yukiteru breaks out of the illusion world, accompanied by the second world's Muru Muru, who was imprisoned by her first world self. While Muru Muru stops Kurusu's bullet and defeats her first world counterpart, Yukiteru embraces Yuno and asks her to kill him to save the second world.

   However, Yuno instead stabs herself with her knife, having come to genuinely love Yukiteru. She shares one last kiss with the distraught First, complimenting him on his improvement ( "You have gotten better at kissing.") before passing away. The second world Muru Muru promptly declares Yukiteru to be the winner of the second Survival Game, abruptly transporting him back to his timeline in the second world and leaving the first world's Yuno's body behind. The first world's Muru Muru is able to salvage her former master's memories in the form of a crystal before being imprisoned by her third world counterpart. The first world's Muru Muru also attached a fragment of herself in the form of a phone strap onto Yuno's first world cell phone and snuck it onto Yuno's third world self unnoticed.

   Yukiteru "Yukki" Amano (天野 雪輝, Amano Yukiteru) is the main male protagonist of the Future Diary series. He is the First Diary Holder and in possession of the "Observance/Indiscriminate Diary", also called as the "Random Diary" in the anime. He is the love interest of Yuno Gasai in the Future Diary series and Aru Akise in Future Diary: Paradox (a side story in a separate timeline).

   Appearance

   Yukiteru is a boy of middle-school age, with black hair and blue eyes. He is usually seen wearing a beanie, shorts with a holster for his throwing darts, an overcoat, and a black turtleneck with a zipper. He also wears boots with white socks. Personality

   Yukiteru is most well known for his timid personality, becoming tearful and distressed in response to traumatic situations. He also has a tendency to cower in battle, usually relying on Yuno for protection. He lacks confidence and is usually submissive to confrontation. He is well aware of and fears Yuno's insanity regarding him, but has a strong desire to keep her sane, often forgiving her for her mistakes and keeping her from murdering others.

   Initially, Yukiteru has little desire to become a god, trying to form alliances with other diary holders and mainly fighting out of self-defense. After the deaths of his parents, however, he decides to begin playing the game in earnest, wanting to revive his parents if he becomes god, becoming more vicious, cunning, and willing to kill. The latter trait is shown when he does not try to stop Nishijima's death during the assault on the Eleventh and when he kills the Eighth's followers despite an alliance with her. He also becomes more trusting of Yuno, to the point where he disbelieves Hinata, Mao, and Kosaka's claims that she is lying to him about a god's ability to revive the dead; following "confirmation" that they're planning to betray him, he shoots them in cold blood. Nonetheless, Yukiteru retains some of his previous kindness behind his newfound ruthless streak; he wishes to win the Survival Game specifically to revive everyone who died along the way, and tries to stop Aru and Yuno from fighting each other on his behalf.

   After Aru's death and final message, Yukiteru's trust in Yuno decreases, but he tries to love her as best he can. He refuses to kill her to become god despite their earlier arrangement. During the battle against Yuno, he acknowledges his love for her and persistently pursues her into the Third World. His love for her pushes him to save her Third World self (to ensure she had a good future) and allows him to escape her illusion orb. After becoming a god, he mourns her for 10,000 years before happily reuniting after the third world Yuno breaks the wall of space and time.

   Interestingly, flashbacks from the First World indicate that Yukiteru was braver and less cowardly than his second-world self. It is implied by Muru Muru that Yukki was weak in the Second World because he was pampered and fiercely protected by First World's Yuno all the time. Diary & Abilities

   Yukki uses the Observance Diary (無差別日記, Musabetsu Nikki), a cellphone which provides a detailed explanation of his surroundings in the present and the future. While versatile in any situation, the main disadvantage of the Observance Diary is that the diary does not tell Yukki what is happening to himself, which leaves him vulnerable; however, this gives it great synergy with Yuno's Yukiteru Diary, which only predicts what happens to him. Its range is also limited to what Yukki can see; thus, putting him in a confined space can drastically reduce the amount of information it presents. Furthermore, since the diary is written from his point of view, Yukki can be tricked into thinking something he sees is true without realizing it, which is a disadvantage for other people who use the Observance Diary.

   Yukiteru is also very skilled at throwing darts, being his hobby of choice prior to the Survival Game. He almost always carries several darts in a holster on his shorts, and he can throw them with incredible speed and accuracy; in a pinch, he can also use them to stab people at close range. While clumsy with other melee weapons such as an axe, he learns to use a revolver near the end of the Survival Game.

   After becoming God, he possesses divine abilities, but the extent of them are unknown. Presumably, he has complete control of space and time in the Second World, similar to his predecessor. Plot Overview

   Behind the Scenes

   A year prior to the beginning of the Survival Game, Yukiteru's parents divorced. In spite of that, he still holds out hope that they will reconcile and be a family again. Since then, his mother is often away for fairly long periods of time due to her occupation, and his father rarely visits him.

   The series begins with Yukki narrating his life and how he records everything in his life in a cell phone diary from a bystander's point of view. It is later revealed that he has two friends who he believes to be imaginary: Deus Ex Machina, the god of time and space, and his servant, Muru Muru. On this particular day, Deus asks Yukiteru if he would like to "play a game". Yukiteru remains silent, and the next morning he discovers that his diary has gained the ability to predict the future for the next ninety days.

He then exploits the advantage of being able to predict the future to avoid several school hazards (copying the test answers on his diary) and scores number one on a surprise math test, all with an uncharacteristic air of confidence causing many to view him as a different person. Somewhen later, he saw a clay figure of Muru Muru (his "imaginary friend") made by Yuno Gasai, who appear right after he saw the figure. Loss for words, he ran away, only to see a startling entry in his diary, a "Dead End". He learns that he is to be killed by a serial killer he had heard about earlier on the news and initially believes it to be Yuno who appears to know of the effects of his Future Diary. He runs in fear of being killed but no matter where he goes he can't seem to shake off Yuno. He eventually escapes to an elevator in a building only for Yuno to break in at the last second while at the same time revealing that she too is a Future Diary holder. Yukiteru prepares to attack, but Yuno grabs his wrist, pins him to the elevator wall, and kisses him.

   She then reveals to Yukiteru her "Yukki Diary", which simultaneously reveals her obsession of him. She informs him that the true serial killer, Takao Hiyama, was on his way to kill him on the 14th floor and instead sends the elevator to the roof. Yukiteru is scared but Yuno tells him that she has a plan.

   Yuno and Yukiteru escape to the roof of the building and lie in wait for the Killer to arrive. As Hiyama checks his Future Diary in confusion, Yukiteru appears and throws a dart with pinpoint accuracy right at the serial killer's "Murder Diary", causing Hiyama to vanish from existence. Following this, he appears before Deus and begins to realize the nature of the "game". Yuno then expresses her desire to protect Yukiteru, which only served to disturb him.

   Later, Yukiteru follows Muru Muru to Deus's Cathedral of Causality, where he learns that the god has granted ten other people Future Diaries. The mechanics of the game are finally revealed: the players must eliminate one another to compete for the prize of becoming Deus's successor. Having already killed the Third, Yukiteru (identified as the First) is named as Deus's favored candidate to win; the other diary holders deem him to be the most dangerous among them and resolve to take him out first. However, the Fourth openly declares that he will protect Yukiteru.

   Attack of the Ninth

   News of Yukiteru's recent rise in academics quickly spreads around the school, catching the attention of a mysterious girl. She innocently asks Yukiteru for directions to a nearby classroom which happens to have been the class taught by his serial killer teacher, the Third. As Yukiteru shakes from the girl's constant interrogating, it grows more and more obvious to her that he is the person she is looking for and she reveals herself to be Minene Uryu, a wanted terrorist and the Ninth diary holder.

   Yuno, who had learned of the situation via her Future Diary, attempts to strike Minene from behind using a fire extinguisher, but fails. Minene then reveals that she has filled the school with explosives and Yukiteru's death is to be in three hours. She sets a few off for emphasis and a scared Yukiteru decides to trust Yuno to protect him.

   The two then resort to crawling around the school using their Future Diaries to avoid setting off any explosions. It is here that Yukiteru discovers the weakness of his Random Diary - it does not record anything about him except when and where he's going to die. Luckily he is reminded of Yuno's Yukiteru Diary which records every ten minutes of his future. As they approach a nearby classroom Yukiteru is delighted to see some of the students, including Ouji Kosaka, until they race towards him and tackle to the floor, retrieving his cell phone in the process. It is revealed that the Ninth offered the school a deal to capture Yukiteru and bring him before her.

   But instead of following through with the deal, Minene merely switches the bombs to motion detection. An angry and upset Yuno decides to take her vengeance on her classmates by racing through the halls setting off as many explosions as she can, shocking Yukiteru and even surprising the Ninth. Just when all looks bleak for Yukiteru, a stranger with a familiar voice arrives.

   After Yukiteru is thrown outside by his classmates, Yuno begins to go on the rampage to rescue Yukiteru, blowing up the school in the process. As Yukiteru despairs, Keigo Kurusu, the Fourth diary owner who promised to keep an eye on Yukiteru, arrives to arrest Minene. Kurusu immediately establishes himself as Yukiteru's ally. As Minene makes threats to blow up the school, Yuno leaps out of a window and attempts to take out Minene, but fails. Kurusu tells Yukiteru to pluck up some courage and defeat Minene himself, advising him to hide his fear behind a smile. Yukiteru complies and charges out across the courtyard to reach Minene, unaware of the minefield before him.

   Yukiteru grabs his diary on the way, Yuno guiding him safely across the courtyard to avoid the mines. Kurusu and the staff and students of the school support Yukiteru as he is thrown forwards by a detonated mine, charging at Minene. Minene guards her diary causing Yukiteru to miss it all together and instead pierces her left eye with one of his throwing darts. Yuno destroys Minene's bomb equipment, Kurusu walking over and telling Minene to surrender. Minene suddenly leaps up and fires out a smokescreen before making her getaway on a motorcycle, using her Escape Diary.

   Shortly after, Kurusu proposes an alliance to Yukiteru and Yuno to find and stop the other diary owners. Yukiteru immediately agrees and convinces Yuno to join the alliance too, although Yuno is in fact thrilled by the "Happy Ending" entry that has appeared on her Future Diary, indicating that she and Yukiteru will "become one" on July 28th.

   A couple of days later, Kurusu invites Yukiteru and Yuno to the police station where he asks them to act as bait in the Sakurami City's amusement park to lure out Minene. But Yukiteru finds the "mission" more like a date, and is dragged around by the exhilirated Yuno, but quietly observes her and notes she does have a relatively sweet, normal side to her. Later, the two come across the park's planetarium but Yukiteru falls silent and quickly leaves, much to Yuno's confusion.

   By sunset, Yukiteru and Yuno board the ferris wheel and have a compartment to themselves. Yukiteru innocently asks Yuno why she is following him around. Baffled by Yukiteru's answer, Yuno asks why he avoided planetarium, commenting that she thought he wanted to go stargazing. Yukiteru accuses Yuno of reading his diary, but Yuno leaps up and reminds Yukiteru of how they first met. A year ago, the pair were in an after school class with surveys on what they planned for their futures. The blank-faced Yuno approached Yukiteru noting he had not written much and reads how he wishes to go stargazing.

   Yukki explained that his parents had recently divorced and the prospect of going stargazing together is now gone. Yukiteru attempted to erase the entry, calling it ridiculous but Yuno stopped him and instead offered to go with him. Yukki told her that they did not even know each other, so Yuno wrote on her survey "I'll become Yukiteru's wife." Yuno offered to marry Yukiteru so they could stargazing, and ever-innocent Yukiteru, believing it to be a joke, goes along with the idea and told Yuno they would when they were older.

   Yukiteru is shocked by Yuno's reasoning and asks if she is hiding anything else. Yuno kisses him on the forehead and tells him everything else is a secret. After leaving the park, Yuno invites Yukiteru to her house. Inside, Yukiteru is puzzled by the lack of electricity but Yuno tells him there are always problems. Yuno disappears into the kitchen to prepare a meal, whilst Yukiteru explores the house in search of the bathroom. Following the instructions on his diary, Yukiteru notes a brief entry describing a closed-off door, but not what lies beyond it. Deciding to experiment with altering his future, Yukiteru opens the door, unaware that his actions will have tremendous consequences for the Survival Game. In the Cathedral of Causality, Deus gleefully declares that he was right to choose Yukiteru as a participant as all of the other Future Diaries change in response to the drastic shift in the timeline.

   Upon opening the door, Yukiteru found a room painted red with blood, with three mysterious corpses lying on the floor. The mortified Yuno appears behind him, asking why he opened the door as her Happy Ending disappears from her phone. Terrified, Yukiteru flees the house to his home, barricading himself inside, only for Yuno's crazed eyes to appear through the letterbox and she wishes him a good night.

   The Sacred Eye Cult

   The next day, Kurusu calls on Yuki, revealing Minene has been captured overnight by the Omekata Cult, or "Sacred Eye" Cult, and is being held at their temple. Yukki agrees to go with him but just as he is about to reveal what happened at Yuno's house, Yuno appears out of the car and say that :"It wouldn't be interesting anymore if you say it",forcing him into silence because of fear for his life. After an awkward journey to the temple, the three diary owners gain access into meeting the high priestess of the cult - Tsubaki Kasugano, who reveals herself to be the Sixth diary owner. Yukki panics but Tsubaki explains she has no interest in becoming God due to being his speaker and asks Yukki for his good luck and protection, since she is faced with a Dead End. Yukki agrees.

   Later that night, Yukki speaks with Tsubaki who explains the limitations of her diary and warns him that Yuno will only bring him trouble. Ai Mikami and Orin Miyashiro drop off a pair of futons into Tsubaki's chamber, only for them to ignite and burst into flames. Kurusu runs out of turn on the sprinkler system. Funatsu, the cult's second-in-command, runs in asks for someone to put out the fire only for a seemingly zombified member to fuel the fire by throwing petrol at it and then killing Funatsu with an axe to the head. More followers enter, all zombified (hypnotized), and they start murdering each other. The horrified Yukki runs to help Tsubaki, but Yuno tells him not to, having been watching the two all the time with envious eyes.

   The two argued and Yukki then accuses Yuno of planning to kill him and hide his corpse, calling her insane. Yuno is reduced to tears as Yukki runs to Tsubaki's aid just as Kurusu turns on the sprinklers. The followers snap out of their rampage when Tsubaki screams at them and she thanks Yukki for his help. The two observe her Clairvoyance Diary and realize its weakness has been compromised and the best option is to flee from the temple. Yukki calls Kurusu who explains he has called for backup, and he supports Yuki's plan to flee.

   Yukki helps Tsubaki out of her chamber, just as an axe-wielding Yuno appears and accuses Tsubaki of trying to kill Yuki. As Yukki is arguing, Yuno then swings an axe in Yuki's direction. But she didn't axe Yuki, she was "making sure that the followers are dead". The seemingly dead followers rise, revealed to have been hypnotized to fake their deaths, prompting Yuno to kill more and she challenges Yukki to choose between her and Tsubaki, to live or die. Yukki chooses neither options over another and decided to do both of them and drags Tsubaki out of the prayer room as Yuno pulls him to safety. The three make their escape only to be confronted by the Twelfth diary owner, Yomotsu Hirasaka, who explains Tsubaki's cult is in fact satanic and revolves around rape and fornification but Yukki doesn't believe him. Yomotsu challenges the trio to identify which of his five impersonators (including himself) which is the real Twelfth.

   Yuno successfully identifies Yomotsu and kills him, setting off the bomb that he swallowed. It is at this point that Tsubaki reveals she was waiting for Yomotsu to die so she could capture Yukki and Yuno, and kisses Yukki as thanks for defeating Twelfth. Yuno flies into a blind fury and chops off Tsubaki's hand before pushing Yukki over a railing to safety and collapsing from exhaustion. Yukki hides under the temple with his and Yuno's diaries, and reads all of the affectionate entries of Yuno's diary. When Tsubaki calls Yukki through an intercom to force his hand when her followers start planning to rape Yuno, Yukki finds a ball that happened to be Tsubaki's childhood toy and runs into the temple with an axe in hand.

   Defending Yuno, Yukki makes up his mind and decides to choose Yuno, much to Tsubaki's anger. Playing on the weakness of Tsubaki's diary, Yukki tosses her ball into the air, causing all of her followers to look at it and negating the powers of her diary. With everyone distracted, Yukki then tosses a throwing dart, piercing Tsubaki's diary as she futilely tries to protect it. With Tsubaki erased from existence, Yuno hugs Yukki as he hides his face, clearly hurt by his own actions.

   Later, the police have arrived at the temple. Yukki and Yuno are placed in the back of a police van, where Yukki confirms that Yuno, does in fact, love him after all and kisses her. Yuno's Happy Ending reappears in her diary.

   The Fifth's Game

   Yukiteru's mother, Rea Amano decides to come for a visit and he picks her up at the train station. When they arrive at home they find one of their windows has been broken. Using his diary Yukki sees that it was done by Yuno. Once inside, he runs up to his room to find Yuno cleaning his room saying she wants to impress his mom so she will bless them. When his mom comes up he shoves Yuno into the closet. Seeing that he and his mom are having a good time Yuno proceeds to try and escape. Not wanting his mom to meet Yuno he shoves his mom out of his room and when he turns around he finds Yuno looking at one of his porn magazines. He grabs it and gets mad at her but then the magazine is grabbed by his mom.

   During dinner, he hopes Yuno will lose his mom's favor as she is usually picky about food, but she is instead impressed by her cooking and says that Yuno will make a good wife and all that is left for them is to have sex. She then explains that she will be staying home for three days and looking after a kid of one of her colleagues who committed suicide in the Omekata Cult mass suicide. That night Yuno sleeps on a futon in Yuki's room and asks if he will make a move on her. Yukki says no because he does not love her, but Yuno says with a smile that he will come to love her and according to her diary on July 28 they will "become one", which means they will have sex. He says that he could change the future, but Yuno states that this is the future that she won't even let him change.

   The next day the child arrives. He talks with hand puppets and asks "big sister and big brother" their names. It is later revealed that the child is the Fifth diary owner, Reisuke Houjou. All day he tries to kill them and is thwarted by first Yuno on his first two attempts and then Yukiteru on his third. The next day he and Yuno look for Reisuke's diary, actually his drawing pad, the Hyper Vision Diary. Yuno states that it would be easier to kill him but Yukiteru stops her saying it be better to find the diary. He looks in places not listed in the diary as Reisuke taunts them. Later, when he is outside looking Yuno decides to kill Reisuke, and chases him with a hammer, accidentally knocking out Rea in the process, much to Yuki's anger.

   She then helps him to find the diary and they are just in time to take it from the delivery man just before Reisuke gets it. Yuno figured when Rea and Reisuke went shopping, Reisuke posted his diary to the house. As Yukki opened the package, it contained poisonous gas, which is released and Yukki inhales it. He is dragged to the bathroom by Yuno who is then challenged to a game of hide-and-seek by Reisuke for the antidote. While they play, Yukiteru checks his diary but it only tells him what is going on in the bathroom. Then he opens the window and takes a deep breath. Hearing the commotion on the stairs, Yukki charges out of the bathroom to Yuno where he gives her air via a kiss and faints again. Yuno kills Reisuke after, and she collapses besides Yuki.

   Minene appears, coming on behalf of Kurusu as part of their agreement, and uses the antidote to heal Yukki and Yuno. When Yukki regains consciousness, Minene tells him to abandon Yuno while he still can; otherwise she will be the death of him. Later, Kurusu covers up the events through unknown means whilst Rea was taken to hospital and left shortly after.

   The Tenth's Trap

   Being enrolled in a new school after Minene's bombing, Yukki makes it his goal to make one-hundred friends. He's accompanied by Yuno who remarks it is better they do not use their diaries, lest they risk attracting attention of other users like Minene. During the walk to the school, Yukki notices a boy staring at him, before disappearing.

   At his new class he reunites with Kosaka, who promises to make his life a living hell, but is stopped by Hinata Hino and Mao Nonosaka, with the former presenting herself, just as Yukki tries to greet her, he falls and accidentally pulls down her pants, prompting Mao to take a photo, ending with a comical beating from Hinata. They later have a friendly talk regarding a series of brutal murders, and a boy who skipped class, Aru Akise, who is known to be an eccentric boy who seeks to be a detective, and they decide to hang out and check one of the crime scenes.

   Yuno waits for Yuki, but is surprised to see him with friends, which she dislikes. Yuno tries to tell Yukki that they are not trustworthy and that he only needs her, but Yukki thinks she is overreacting. They go to a park, and play around, with Yuno staying in the background visibly disturbed (to the point of writing "die" on the ground several times).

   They arrive at a lookout point, and Hinata runs off. Yukki soon predicts she has been attacked, and the group find her corpse along with a pack of hounds, just as Akise appears and guides them to a building nearby with the dogs in pursuit. They are trapped as Akise explains he has been investigating Yukki since he is related to mysterious events, namely the battles against the other Diary Users, and the dogs try to break through the windows. Yuno suggests to Yukki they should use the others as bait while the two of them run away. Yukki refuses and revealing his power to see the future and demonstrates the use of his diary, this quickly makes even the distrustful Kosaka to follow Yuki's instruction of which window to block, which eventually makes the dogs tire and flee.

   After a brief celebration, Mao holds Yukki at knife-range while she takes his phone giving it to Hinata who appears alive and unharmed, revealing herself as an apparent diary holder, and she targets Akise who she believes another User. Hinata reveals she used a fake body to trick them and that her father is the true owner of the Breeder Diary, which allows her to control dogs. She wants to kill Akise because he has been targeting her father for the serial murders. Akise then challenges Hinata to a coin-guess game with the hands with his Diary on the line. While initially distrustful Hinata accepts as with Yuki's diary she can easily predict the result. However she fails twice in a row (one as a warm up and one as a real bet) forcing her to return Yukki to them.

   Yuno discovers Akise is tricking them as his Diary is not making the signature sound as the other diaries, therefore he is lying. He admits this is true and that he is a normal human, but before Yuno kills him, he quickly releases himself and puts his life as bargain. Hinata tries once more, but before that Akise instructs Yuno to cover Yuki's ears. Hinata loses once more not understanding why she lost. Akise explains that it is because the Random Diary predicts what Yukki believes to be true instead of the real future, therefore the game was completely legit. Mao nonetheless tries to break Yuki's diary but Yuno stabs her, as she recovers the diary.

   Everybody except Mao and Hinata leave, with Hinata sending orders to the dogs to kill them. Yukki decides he cannot leave Hinata and Mao, and wants to help them, with the dogs behind them, they decide that Yukki will go for Hinata while the rest lure the dogs away. However Yuno tricks them and goes with Yuki, who seeing he will not go back, decides to stab an incoming dog. The two soon reach Hinata, with Yuno quickly holding her at knife-point. Yukki tries to pacify her as Kosaka and Akise return, but Yuno claims that she will kill anybody she believes will take Yukki from her. Seeing this, Yukki decides to say to Yuno that she is not his friend, but quickly announces that she is his girlfriend to everybody which greatly shocks and embarrasses her.

   Yukki demands to Yuno that since she is his girlfriend, she must acknowledge his friends or he will dislike her, Yuno agrees and releases Hinata who is thankful of Yuki. Yukki realises the enormity of what he has just said and cannot take back the claim. Hinata is contacted by her father Karyuudo Tsukishima who tells her she did well but reveals his promise to rewind time and be a better father was a lie to motivate Hinata, telling her to not grow up to be a bad person like he was. He tells Yukki to be careful of the diary owners, particularly the ones who act nice around him, just as Kurusu appears behind him and shoots him dead, the gunshot heard over the phone. However, Yukki does not seem to acknowledge Kurusu's involvement.

   The Fourth's Betrayal

   Yukki embraces his friendship with Akise who invites him to go see a movie together. However, while waiting at a bus stop, Yuno appears and drags Yukki onto a bus. Yuno reveals a text she received from Akise, explaining there is a wedding exhibition for young couples and claimed Yukki wanted to invite Yuno but was too sheepish to do it. Yukki freaks out after realising they have been set up, although Yuno is thrilled with the idea. The two actually have an enjoyable time at the exhibition, and stage a wedding ceremony in which Yukki is stunned by Yuno's appearance in a wedding dress, although he continues to be troubled by what he saw in Yuno's house. Later, Yukki thanks the woman who has been their guide throughout the day and realises she is Naoko Kurusu, Kurusu' wife. Yukki later carries the tired Yuno home, and finds Akise waiting for them. Akise explains he has found a seemingly bottomless hole at the back of the house, where the room with the corpses used to be. Yukki asks Yuno for answers but she blankly states that Yukki has never been to her house before. Yukki and Akise leave, but the latter warns Yukki that Yuno is using him as an emotional support.

   Several days later, Yukki and Yuno are taken to the police station by Masumi Nishijima to speak with Kurusu regarding the events with Tenth. Yuno begins to panic, and looks about for weapons, but Yukki calms her down and is escorted to an interrogation room where Kurusu sits. Kurusu talks with Yukki for a moment, before dropping the charade of trying to act normal and aims a gun at Yuki's head and offers a game of Russian roulette. Yukki panics as Kurusu aims the gun back and forth, explaining their alliance is no more and he intends to become God. Yuno bursts in, having seen Yuki's Dead End and shoots Kurusu, shooting off one of his ears and injuring him. Nishijima appears and is forced to be their hostage as Yukki and Yuno race for the roof. Kurusu recovers and speaks over an intercom, telling the station staff to catch Yukki and Yuno. Several officers confront Yukki and Yuno on a staircase. Yukki panics, aiming a gun at a policeman and shoots him in the stomach. Realising what he has done, Yukki thought the policeman would wear a bulletproof vest like Kurusu did. Yukki and Yuno run to the roof and stand on the edge. Yukki apologises to Yuno for his cowardice, but Yuno kisses him, before they both fall off the roof. Nishijima runs to the edge but sees the two survived the fall, having hit the roof of a truck and go on the run.

   Now condemned fugitives by the police, Yukki and Yuno hide out in a store house next to Sakurami Hospital where Yukki recalls why his parents split up, due to his father's debt issues. Yuno intends to keep her promise to Yukki to go stargazing with him. The two spot Naoko Kurusu walking by on her way into hospital. Curious as to why she is there, Yukki and Yuno follow her through the building. Yuno runs on ahead, only for Yuki's diary to go off, and part of the hallway explodes. Minene appears, dressed as a nurse, and is revealed to be working undercover at the hospital. Yukki accidentally sets off one of Minene's bombs, trapping them in the middle of the floor with two holes between them. The two agree to form an alliance to escape their predicament, Yuno passing a ladder across to aid them. Kurusu telephones Minene, and asks if she is sticking to their alliance or is she planning to betray him. Unlucky for her, Yukki kept on yelling that she will betray her until Kurusu threatens to kill her. Minene screams down the phone and officially ends their alliance.

   Knowing Kurusu and the police will come after them, Minene forms an alliance with Yukki and Yuno to make their stand. Planning to use her trump card, Minene takes the two to a hospital room, revealing Kurusu' terminally ill son Yoi Kurusu. Minene quickly takes Naoko and Yoi prisoner and explains Yoi dying of a heart condition which Kurusu only recently learned of and asked Minene to protect him should he become a target for the other diary owners. Yukki is not enthusiastic about fighting Kurusu, but Minene tells him to man up and gives him a handgun and a flash grenade. Outside, Kurusu, Nishijima and other police officers arrive, with Kurusu hellbent on rescuing his family and killing the other diary owners.

   Minene attempts to negotiate with Kurusu, but he ignores her demands and sends in a SWAT team to arrest and kill the diary owners. Yuki, who is patrolling the hall outside Yoi's room, is called by Yuno, who tells him to run. The officers quickly apprehend Yuki, who panics that Kurusu will murder him. Yuno and Kurusu both charge down the hall, Kurusu reaching Yukki first and holds him at gunpoint, whilst Yuno threatens to trigger the grenade. Kurusu agrees to release Yuki, allowing him to take five steps back so Yuno and he can lower their weapons. However, Yuno suddenly leaps at Kurusu, intending to blow herself and him up with the grenade. Yukki objects, telling Yuno he does not want her to die and wishes to see the stars with her. Yuno pulls the grenade's pin, but instead of exploding it releases a blinding white light, actually a flash grenade which only stuns people, Minene knowing Yukki would not be able to handle a real grenade.

   Rescue Operation

   Being a couple, Yukki and Yuno would plan a trip where both of them would disappear for several days. Yuno on her desperation of being tagged by Akise and have her Happy End ruined decides to secretly kidnap Yukki and have him secluded so the two of them can be happy in the end.

   Yuki's friends Hinata, Mao and Kousaka would be enlisted to help by Akise and Nishijima, as Yuno has hidden in an old residential area full of hotels some of them owned by her parents, and Yuki's friends would not alert her as much as the police. Yuno discovers that they are tagging her and eventually tricks Hinata into thinking Yukki escaped and sent a message asking for her, Hinata does arrive but Yuno attacks her and had her tied up. She uses the same trick to lure the rest of them, using a mannequin of Yukki to trap them in a room and bury them in concrete (gas in the anime). Yuno almost naked, tries to feed a barely conscious Yukki while Hinata confronts her about what she is doing, Yuno believing Yukki is content. She is interrupted by Akise who claims to Yuno he wants to negotiate with her and blackmails her with the corpses found at her home, planning to tell the police about them and asks her about the third corpse's identity.

   Yuno is at first enraged that Akise would defile her parents' corpses, but goes silent after hearing of the third one. She then bursts in hysterical laughter, repressing her memories in a fit of despair, while madly talking to Yukki that they are "weird people" and cuts communications. Eventually thanks to Kosaka he is be able to use the ventilation shaft and sneak into the control room where Yukki and Hinata are confined. Yuno, not knowing who Kosaka is, expresses shock that he has a Diary. Listening to his explanation, she deduces Kosaka is not very smart and tricks him into giving him the key to the control room and later that of Yuki's.

   Throwing him the first key, Yuno uses the chance to pull out a crossbow while Kosaka frees Mao and Akise. Yuno coldly shoots him in the leg whilst pointing out his failure, however, before she can kill him, Yukki is freed by Hinata. Snatching the crossbow from Yuno, Yukki slaps her and stops her, saving Kosaka and freeing Hinata in the process. Seeing Yukki leaving with his friends, Yuno desperately tries to call out to him, however, an enraged Yukki tells her to go to hell. Sad and alone Yuno resolves that Yukki is not safe without her and goes after him.

   The Sevenths' Battle of Love

   Yukiteru receives a message from Deus explaining apprentice diaries and goes over the information with Aru, Kosaka, Hinata and Mao. The four agree to help him and Yuki's diary tells him that in three days 3 apprentice diary holders attack his house. After getting home, he discovers that Yuna had been there and had helped him mother prepare dinner before he arrived.

   The next day he and his friends along with Nishijima go to Kosaka's home. Aru's plan is to lure the apprentice diary holders onto the premises and then sabotage the nearby radio tower to disable their diaries. Yuki gets an alert on his phone that the apprentice diary holders have entered the mansion, but before they can disable the tower, Yuno cuts the power, forcing Kosaka and Aru to leave and shut it do manually. Yuki, Yuno, Hinata and Mao are cornered by Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami. Yuki and Yuno are able to escape to the attic, at the cost of leaving Hinata and Mao behind, and Yuno agrees to untie Yuno, knowing he cant beat them on his own. Marco and Ai manage to break into the attic, but Yuno keeps Yuki safe. Aru manages to disable the tower, rendering Ai and Marco's apprentice diaries useless; however, the quickly reveal themselves to be seventh, abandoning their apprentice diaries for their exchange diaries. Yuno manages to force the two to retreat, but their comrade sets the building on fire. Before Yuki and Yuno can escape, Ai and Marco confront them while the area aroufd them is covered in flames. Yuki manages to overpower Ai, but before she can deliver the fatal blow, Marco jumps through the fire and takes it for her, giving Ai and opportunity to through a knife at Yuno. When the fire dies out, Yuno is barely conscious on the floor and Marco angrily grabs Yuki's collar, asking why he didn't try to help Yuno despite their relationship. Yuki frightened admits that Yuno said it was okay to use her. This infuriates Marco even further, causing him to toss Yukiteru down the stair before taking his and Yuno's diaries.

   The fire department arrive quickly and everyone was taken to the hospital. While Yuki is speaking to Aru and Nakajima, Menine comes in posing as a nurse. Menine makes Yuki do pushups with her on his back ans states that she will take over Yukiteru's recovery, leading Yuki to wonder what deal she and Nakajima have in place. After Nakajima and Aru leave, Menine explains that her plan is to have Yukiteru be the one to take seventh out and that he should continue with his pushups. Kurou Amano walks in and is suprised to see Yuki on the ground with a girl on top of him, even asking her to do the same to him, leading Yuki Menine to both quickly become exhausted by his father's behavior. After things calm down, Yukiteru thanks his dad for coming and wonders if his parents will ever bury the hatchet. When Kurou states that he will do whatever he needs to to help Yuki through rehab, Yukiteru voices that he would like for him to get back together with mom and how he would like to go stargazing as a family. Kurou agrees to talk to Rea if Yukiteru does netter then him with Menine's conditioning. Yukiteru wins at both pulls up and grip stength, but Kurou and Minene both pretend that Kurou is doing better. When Yuki confronts Minene, she explains that this is really about bonding with his father and Yuki has some fun. Before the last competition, Kurou asks if Yuki knows why he and Rea got divorced and explains that he is terrible with money and currently 3,000,000 yen in debt. This revelation causes Yuki to realize that his parents are over as a couple as he had assumed that they had broken up over something minor. Minene tells him he needs to be patient and try to get his dad to see things from his perspective. this gives Yuki renews morale. At the end of the race, instead of his father, Yuki finds a note explaining that something came up and he needed to go and that he might have found a way to deal with his money troubles.

   The next day, Yuno and his dad are watching a news segment about the police searching an orphanage for Marco and Ai. Yuno walks into the room with a knife, forcing Yuki to quickly escort her out before Kurou realizes what she was going to do. Yuno then attempt to poison Kurou's tea, but again Yuki stops her leading her to aske who she trusts more, her of his father and explains that she thinks he's working with eleventh and explains that she saw him looking through Yuki's things for his phone, but Yuki refuses to believe it. Before the conversation can continue, Yuno is called to answer a phone in reception. when Yuno returns, she explains that the call was from Marco and Ai who want her and Yuno to escort Kurou to Sakagami tower.

   While in the tower's elevator, Yuki tells yuno not to give up his dad, but she remains steadfast. Yuki commits himself to protect his dad. After reaching the tope, they fins Ai and MArco in a makesshift wedding ceremony and when Kurou confront Marco, he is quickly punched and left on the floor. Marco then states that he wants Yuki to try and take him one on wone to figure out what kind of person he is. Yuki attempts to fight, but is quickly grabbed and choked out before being though accross the room. yukiteru then sees his dad get up and walk to the phones and brake yuki's, much to his horror. However, yuki is suprised that he doesn't die and Yunoknocks the buqitte out of Ai's hands, revealing that thre phone Kurou just destroyed was a fake and Ai was holding the real ones in the boquitte. Kurou then tries to get Yuki to give him the phone, and Yukilizes that Kurou really doesnt knowthat itst tied to his life. An explosion rocks the building and a voice on the intercom explains that because MArco and Ai are taking so long, they are going with plan B. the ground arounf yuki crumbles and and Yuki falls down the hole. As he falls, both Kurou and yuno reach for him, and he ends up grabbing yuno's hand, showing that he trust her more. Yukiteru, still shocked by the fact that his dad would lie to him like that, follows after the sevents, who have taken his dad to the roof. While going up, Yuno explains that they lost last time because it was 2 against one and yukiteru commits himself to working with Yuno.

   When the sevenths reach the roof, Yuno is there waiting for them. Yuki comes in over the intercoms and explains that the only reason Yuno lost was because she was trying to keep him safe. After the sevenths incapacitate Yuno, while Marco looks for Yuki in the P.A. rooms, Yuki comes up from the lower floor, revealing that they had tricked them with Yuno's fake phone from earlier. Yuno tries to throw a dart at Ai's phone, but misses thanks to Marco's warning. However, Yuno manages to use the distraction to slice Ai's throat. While Yuki admonishes her for not just taking the diary, Kurou grabs the parachute and runs away, jumping out of the building. Yuki and Yuno become trapped under rubble, ans Ai, revealing she still alive, tells them that Marco will escape and his diary will tell him that she'd die anyway. Yuno decides to star flaying her so Marco tries to save her, but Marco already begins trying to break through the rubble before she can. Yuno tries to admonish Yuno's violence again, but Marco calls Yuki out for letting Yuno do all the dirty work while complaining about her methods. He then calls out Yuno for claiming to protect Yuno while trying yo control him and tells them they should work together. When he manages to move the rubble, its reveal that Marco was already impaled on a pipe. Yuki realizing that they could escape if all three of them moved the rubble, asks Yuno if she really loves him or is just crazy and the three of them work together to make an opening to escape. After Ai dies from blood loss, Marco gives Yuki the last parachute and he and Yuno escape the building. while parachuting down, Yuki explains that he wants to have a serious talk with his parents about their relationship and that he wants her help. Upon landing, he and Yuno are stopped by Nishijima and while Nishijima tries to tell him what happened, Yuno, seeing his mother's body being wheeled into an ambulance doesn't hear him. Yuki then checks his phone, confirming that his mom is dead.

   The Eleventh's Kingdom

   After his father was murdered by mercenaries sent by John Bacchus, Yukiteru grabbed the knife that was thrown into his father's chest and brutally stabbed a mercenary. Using his Random Diary, he managed to incapacitate one of the mercenaries and used another as a human shield while a gun was fired at him. The final mercenary was killed by a slash through the throat, courtesy of Yuno. He collapsed onto the ground and weeped for his dead father. Yuno sat with him by the ground and, after a brief conversation, he held a knife at Yuno's neck, intending to kill her and become god. His resolve faltered as Yuno kissed him and said that she could die any time, at which point his knife dropped to the ground and he began to sob uncontrollably into the air, all while Deus watched from his Cathedral of Causality, the right side of his face crumbling.

   Initially, Yukki and Yuno do not show up at a meeting between the Diary owners. This leads to Deus nearly expelling them from the game and erasing them from existence, but they show up at the last possible second, Yukki bearing an arrogant demeanor with his arm wrapped around Yuno. He announces the Eleventh Diary owner's identity as the mayor of Sakurami City, shocking the people present. With a laugh, he explains that he has been sitting for five days at the lobby of the city hall, gathering data. He noticed that the Eighth's orphanage had only been closed due to the mayor's interference and concluded that the Eleventh was none other than John Bacchus.

   After the meeting ends, he appears in an apartment room, conversing with Yuno and revealing that he had been acting upon a script written by Yuno. He praises Yuno, which flatters her and they continue to discuss, this time about the Eleventh's plan. They talk of their own plan, which involves getting the Eighth to join them and form an alliance. Yukki looks skeptic, asking if he can pull off such a stunt. Yuno jumps on top of him and says that she won't forgive him unless he kills all the Diary owners and become God.

   Yukki is later seen on a cliff side, now allied with the Eighth, Kamado. Their plan is to attack John Bacchus while he is en route. During a rest after the planning stage, Yukki is offered a riceball by Kamado's orphans, learning that Kamado does not intend to become God, but her orphans wish her to. Yuno signals to Yukki that John Bacchus' car has arrived, and the plan is set in motion. The orphans begin to attack the car, but Bacchus deployed a signal jamming device to disable their Apprentice Diaries. Yukki and Yuno used the opportunity to turn on the orphans, slaughtering them en masse before targeting Kamado and Bacchus.

   Kamado escapes with John Bacchus and Yukki follows them in a car. He hands his phone to Yuno, who, aghast, learns that Akise intends to appear and tell everyone the identity of the third body buried in her backyard. She leans out the window and shoots at the car, which evades every shot, Bacchus himself evading a shot to the head through his Watcher Diary. Yukki resorts to ramming John's car, knocking both vehicles off the highway.

   Akise, as predicted, arrived alongside Minene. He throws Yukki the second world's Yuno Gasai's umbilical cord and revealed that it was a perfect match with the corpse in the backyard. A desperate Yuno screams at Yukki to not trust them and pleads that she is Yuno. Yukki steps back from her in a state of disbelief.

   The End Begins

   Following John's defeat, Yukki and Yuno make plans to hunt down Kamado, the only remaining Diary holder aside from themselves. While searching for the Eighth, they are confronted by Aru, who asks to speak with Yukki alone. Yuno attempts to kill him, only to have her attacks countered effortlessly; to her and Yuki's surprise, Aru reveals his new Detective Diary, an Apprentice Diary which lets him read the entries and futures of other Diary holders. At Yuno's insistence, Yukki leaves her to battle Aru while he continues hunting Kamado.

   Armed with a revolver, Yukki eventually finds Kamado near a ruined building, guarded by Hinata, Mao, and Kosaka. His friends try to talk him out of killing the Eighth, shaking his resolve despite his belief that he has to win the Survival Game in order to bring back everyone who died during it. Before he can make a definitive decision, he receives a hysterical call from Yuno, claiming that his friends intend to betray him at Aru's behest. Checking his diary, Yukki sees an entry confirming that Yuno was recently stabbed by Aru, unaware that Yuno had actually stabbed herself in order to force Aru's hand and overcome the prediction in his Detective Diary.

   With renewed suspicion in his heart, Yukki confronts Hinata with the apparent betrayal, dismissing her pleas of innocence by citing the predictions in his Observance Diary. Consumed by paranoia, he shoots first Hinata, then Mao; Kosaka manages to grab him and throw a scathing condemnation in his face before he is shot to death in turn. Shaken by his murders, Yukki nonetheless prepares to do the same to Kamado, only to be distracted by Aru's arrival. With his revolver out of ammo, the First can only brandish his gun as an empty threat as Aru confronts him with the truth he learned from Deus himself: a god can revive the bodies of the dead, but not their souls. He continues to deny the former Observer's claims that Yuno is only using him on her own quest to become god, but Yuno's arrival distracts him long enough for Aru to catch him in a heartfelt kiss, announcing his intent to ensure a future where Yukki survives before jumping down to confront the infuriated Yuno.

   From his vantage point, Yukki can only shout warnings to Yuno as Aru destroys her diary - to his surprise, the Second keeps going and slashes her enemy's throat. She explains that she presented a fake diary for Aru to destroy before encouraging Yukki to finish off Kamado; accordingly, Yukki finds the Eighth trapped under some collapsed debris nearby. He is taken aback by Kamado's calm acceptance of her imminent demise (quickly granted by Yuno), silently accepting her final wish for a world where children can live in peace. Before he and Yuno can properly consider their next move as the final participants of the Survival Game, they see Aru staggering towards them, typing a message on his phone. Despite Yuki's wishes, Yuno swiftly decapitates Aru; however, his body continues moving, slowly raising his phone so Yukki can see the screen. The First Diary holder has a second to read the message typed on the phone before Yuno destroys it and Aru collapses.

   Final Battle

   On July 27, Yukki realizes that he genuinely loves Yuno despite everything. That evening, he reciprocates her advances and they sleep together, fulfilling the Yukiteru Diary's predicted "Happy End" one day ahead of schedule. Afterwards, however, Yukki asks Yuno about the final message Aru showed him; a message claiming that Yuno had been killed and replaced by a version of herself from another timeline. To his great shock, Yuno responds by attempting to murder him with an axe; however, Muru Muru appears and shows him a vision of the past that confirms Aru's claims.

   After Yukki understands the game that Muru Muru was making, he follows her and Yuno to the new world with the help of Minene. Finding himself in a timeline prior to the beginning of the Survival Game, he decides to protect the third world Yuno at all costs, even if it meant altering the timelines. The first world Yuno finds them and makes a deadly combat with Yuki; despite his phone predicting a "Dead End" from Yuno, Yukki continues fighting in order to protect both Yunos. While unable to defeat Yuno, he succeeds in reminding her that she truly does love him, leaving her unable to kill him. Instead, Yuno locks him up in an illusionary world where Yukki gets everything he wanted, but Yuno does not exist. Feeling that something is missing despite his altered memories, Yukki shouts Yuno's name and breaks the sphere; to his surprise, he frees not only himself, but also the Muru Muru of the 2nd world.

   Meanwhile, as Yuno is about to kill her third world counterpart, she decides to share a brief summary of the horror that awaits her. The third world Yuno disapproved, saying that her mother is simply sick and her dad's just busy, much to her first world counterpart's shock. First world Yuno then realized that she too used to have hope for her family to reform itself and remembered what Yukki said: "I will save you, even if that meant changing the future". Yuno thanked Yukki for saving her as the First arrives and declares his love for Yuno. He asks her to kill him and become the god of the 2nd world, but Yuno stabs herself instead, saying that she can't kill Yuki, nor can he kill her. A heartbroken Yukki can only exchange a final kiss with Yuno before she passes away in his arms. With Yuno dead, Yukki was declared the winner of the Second Survival Game, being returned to the 2nd world and granted Deus's powers as the God of Time and Space.

   Yuno and Yuuki reunited and creating a new world together Yuno and Yuuki are reunited creating a new world together Despite his newfound power, Yukki is unable to move on from the death of Yuno, knowing that he can't revive her as she was. He spends the next 10,000 years simply floating in the void that used to be his world, staring at the final entry in his diary that confirms Yuno's suicide. Muru Muru, bored with things being the same for so long, asks Yukki to create something with his god powers, but Yukki simply replies that a world without Yuno is meaningless. Suddenly, he notices a change in his diary; the final entry has changed from "Yuno committed suicide" to "Yuno came to visit." Moments later, Yuno herself breaks through the barrier between the third and second worlds, revealing that the first world's Muru Muru was able to imbue her memories and consciousness into her third world counterpart. Amazed and overjoyed to see his beloved restored, Yukki joins Yuno in creating a new world together.

   Redial

   The Yukiteru of the third world was seen briefly when Yuno glances at the restaurant window. He is seen hanging out with his parents and Moe. Third world Yukiteru never got to meet third world Yuno as they were sent to different schools after the incident.

   Second World Yukiteru gets reunited with Yuno after Yuno entered the Akashic Records in which the gods live, and then regains the memories of her 1st world self through the Muru Muru of the 1st world.

   The second world's Yukki was still in a miserable state, but suddenly his future diary erased the entry claiming that, "Yuno commited suicide", and wrote, "Yuno came to visit." Yuno, now having her memories finally restored, shattered the barrier of time and space with a hammer and reunites with her beloved Yuki. Soon after, Deus of the third world proclaims Yuno and Yukki his dual heirs. The two then finally fulfill their promise to go stargazing together.

   47 Yukiteru, Yuno and 7 Murumurus. Trivia

   Yukiteru’s last name is written by two Kanji: Ama (天) and no (野), it means "heavens' field". His first name is written by two Kanji Yuki (雪) and teru (輝), means "glowing snow". Yukiteru's first name is based on Jupiter, the Roman god of the sky, thunder and lightning, and leader of the Capitoline Triad (Jupiter, Juno and Minerva). Accordingly, Yuki's main allies among the Diary Holders are Yuno (who represents Juno) and Minene (who represents Minerva); his skill with throwing darts could also be a reference to Jupiter's thunderbolts. Jupiter is also considered to be the King of the Gods, fitting with Yukki being Deus' eventual successor in the Second World. It has been said Yuki's birthday is in early May. Out of all of the diary holders, Yukki has the largest number of alliances in the series, forming alliances with Yuno, Kurusu, Tsubaki, Minene, Marco and Ai (briefly), Kamado, and his own friends Akise, Hinata, Mao and Kosaka. He also has the second highest kill count among the Diary Holders (only behind Yuno), having killed Hiyama, Tsubaki, Hinata, Mao, and Kosaka. He also damaged Minene's eye, shot Kurusu, and directly contributed to Ai's death at Yuno's hand. Yuki's theme song is called "You Are the Leading Role of Your Life, So Puff Out Your Chest and Walk ", sung by his voice actor Misuzu Togashi. He and Yuno share a second theme song called "My Wish Lives in the Future ". His likeness is used for the protagonist of another of Sakae Esuno's works, Big Order. According to the manga, Yukiteru and Yuno reign as the joint gods of time and space for four more incarnations of the world. In the Japanese dub of the anime, Aru's voice is deeper than Yuki's. However, this is reversed in the English dub. In the English dub of the anime, to give a sense that it has been a long time since Yukki became a god, his voice is deeper at the end of the series. Yukki has some similarities to Shinji Ikari from the Neon Genesis Evangelion series

   Overview Image Gallery

   Minene Uryuu (雨流 みねね, Uryū Minene) is the Ninth Diary Holder and possesses the "Escape Diary". She is also the main protagonist of the spin-off Future Diary: Mosaic, which focuses on Minene before and after she gains her Future Diary.

   Appearance

   Minene is a young woman in her twenties, with long purple hair and violet eyes. She later loses her left eye during the Survival Game and wears an eyepatch, although she has a glass eye beneath it.

   Her standard outfit consists of a black, sleeveless jacket, military trousers or jeans, with a tank top under the jacket.

   When she was first introduced, she was seen wearing a lavender-colored gothic lolita-dress, with her hair tied in pigtails. It was hinted that her usual clothing was wet and cold, leaving her no other choice but to change into the dress she found in an abandoned clothes room. Personality

   Minene considers herself a survivor first and foremost, a belief reflected by her Escape Diary. Before it became her Future Diary, Minene's Escape Diary was a regular journal that she used to write down the possible escape routes in whichever area she was planning to attack. She is very tactical and intelligent, able to easily gather information and make deductions.

   After spending her childhood and teenage years alone with no love or guidance, Minene believes she does not need anyone else in her life to help her. She also developed an intense hatred of religion of any stripe, giving her a desire to erase the very idea of God from the world.

   Minene Uryuu Minene in her gothic lolita outfit. In her introduction, Minene is very intimidating, easily unnerving Yukiteru Amano. She appears very psychotic and excitable when performing her acts of terrorism, more than willing to obliterate anyone who gets in her way. However, after her first appearance, she mellows out into a tough woman with a hidden touch of vulnerability to her. She does have a friendly side to her, having an attachment to small children and animals; she keeps a family of chipmunks with her for a time, eventually releasing them before her attack against John Bacchus.

   Throughout her life, Minene appears to be haunted by her eight-year old self and the memory of crying over her dead parents, symbolizing her desire to escape her own past and be saved. Diary & Abilities

   Minene's Future Diary is the Escape Diary, which tells her how to escape dangerous situations. If Minene is being tracked by enemies or losing a fight, her diary will tell her about potential escape routes, including how, where, and when to run and hide. This means she can avoid defeat if the conditions allow her to do so; however, she can still find herself facing a Dead End if the odds become too stacked against her, in which case escape is not an option and she has no choice but to confront the danger in order to survive. The Escape Diary also provides little to no offensive benefits, as its focus is on letting Minene survive rather than defeating her enemies.

   As a longtime terrorist, Minene is an expert in sabotage and demolition, being skilled with C4 bombs, grenades, dynamite, and other explosives. She is skilled enough to rig entire buildings with explosives unnoticed, including Yukiteru's school and Sakurami Hospital. She has developed a special control device that links her bombs to her heartbeat, setting them to detonate if her heart stops.

   Minene is also skilled in infiltration, disguising herself as a police officer and even a nurse without anyone being the wiser.

   Eventually, Minene is given half of Deus Ex Machina's powers, giving her several new abilities such as flight and travel between dimensions. The full degree of her powers in this state is unknown but they appear to be genetic; Minene's children are shown to be capable of flight as well. Plot Overview

   Due to the death of her parents when she was eight years old, Minene was forced to live a brutal life as a street rat in a Middle Eastern country overrun with conflict caused by religious extremists, having to resort to theft in order to survive. As a result, Minene developed a hatred towards God and religion as a whole, eventually becoming a terrorist bomber as she grew older. Despising everything related to religion, Minene targeted religious structures, individuals and organizations to destroy them. Future Diary: Mosaic

   On April 18, four days before receiving her Future Diary, Minene murdered rookie policewoman Natsuko Ooshima, trapping her within an oil drum whilst scuba diving and leaving her to drown. She disguised herself as Natsuko, able to perfectly match her personality and wearing a mask to hide her face, and infiltrated Sakurami City's police department to assassinate Cardinal Fred Haiman, thrilled to be able to gain police information so easily. During a meeting between police officers, Keigo Kurusu, soon to be the Fourth diary owner, reveals Minene actually sent a notice to the police beforehand to tell them of her planned attack on the cardinal. Cardinal Haiman is staying at the Sakurami Empire Hotel on the twenty-seventh floor, which the police have reserved along with the floor below. However, Minene is stumped when Kurusu explains all the officers will only learn of the cardinal's room number shortly before he is moved to another each day.

   Kurusu assigns Minene to work with Nishijima in their first proper encounter, Nishijima being head of security. Minene is forced to use a cute-sounding voice in Nishijima's presence, who refers to her as "Natsu-chan", actually having a crush on the real Natsuko. At the hotel, Minene, under the guise of Natsuko, tries to assassinate Cardinal Haiman several times over the course of the next couple of days. Her first attempt involves placing a timed bomb in the car park, with a ten-minute countdown. However, Nishijima appears inviting her for breakfast. Minene is forced to flee with the bomb, claiming the bomb is really a radio. The second involves Minene trying to take some food to the cardinal, intending to poison him, only for Nishijima to show up inviting her to lunch. Minene flees, claiming she has a habit of not eating lunch. In a third attempt, she sneaks out during the night to petrol bomb the cardinal, but runs into Nishijima again, who invites her to dinner. Minene screams that she must be in bed by nightfall.

   By the 20th, Minene is at her wits' end. Nishijima approaches her, sitting with her during lunch. Minene is surprised by how much he eats, questioning his ability to work after eating so much. Nishijima notes an indoor chapel where a wedding is taking place, hoping Minene would not disrupt it at that moment. Minene openly objects, revealing she despises God. Nishijima ponders if she will find happiness and offers to take her out on a date. Minene is intimidated by this, not wanting him to become too over familiar with him.

   Meanwhile, Nishijima and Kurusu find the real Natsuko's body and are shocked when a nametag with her name on it is recovered during the autopsy. On April 21, Minene is present as Kurusu performs the usual security checkup, telling everyone the cardinal's room number. Knowing her room is right below the cardinal's, Minene has already planted a bomb on the ceiling to kill him. As the bomb counts down to its final seconds, Minene spots Nishijima and begins to grow concerned about the possibility of his death. The bomb goes off and Minene attempts to leave, only for Nishijima to raise his gun to her, the latter clearly shaken upon learning Minene's room was the source of the explosion.

   Nishijima reveals he knows Minene is not Natsuko, and she was the only person sent the room number; Cardinal Haiman was actually moved to an alternate room and is evacuated. Nishijima calls Minene a devil and demands to know why she killed Natsuko. Minene laughs at Nishijima's change of attitude, implying he actually knew she was Minene to an extent. Minene casts off her disguise and makes her escape from Nishijima and Kurusu. Minene leaps off a balcony and uses a wire attached to the building to escape, only for Kurusu to shoot out the wire, much to Nishijima's attempt to stop him.

   Minene begins to fall, vowing never to pray to God for help. Suddenly, her eight-year old self appears before her. The younger Minene stops crying and comments that Minene is an interesting person, her form dissolving to reveal Muru Muru. Muru Muru further comments how Minene uses her own strength to decide her future, and touches Minene's phone, creating her Future Diary. It is at this point that Minene joins the Survival Game, and meets Deus Ex Machina for the first time. Minene's fall is softened by several hanging lines of lights, and she lands in the hotel's water fountain, stunned that God exists after all.

   Later, Minene speaks with Deus in the Cathedral of Causality. Deus explains the purpose of the Survival Game, and Minene agrees to win and become God. However, Minene smirks and tells Deus that when she wins the throne of God, she will truly wipe out God from the world and kill him, much to Deus' surprise.

   Minene's start in the Survival Game is a dangerous one, crossing paths with the Third diary owner Takao Hiyama. Minene tries to kill him, only to discover his coat is apparently both bulletproof and bomb-proof. Fighting Hiyama at an abandoned art university, Minene is unable to harm him and has to use her Escape Diary to find a way to evade him. Leaping out of a window, Minene lands in a pile of garbage but hurts her foot in the landing.

   MineneBlush Minene is flustered by Nishijima's compliments. That is when she crosses paths with Nishijima once again. It appears this is their first encounter in the anime, although she is later seen dressed as Natsuko after Hiyama killed a woman. Minene tries to run from Nishijima but collapses due to her damaged foot, allowing Nishijima to handcuff her. Hiyama arrives, forcing Minene and Nishijima to flee into the university. The two hide, Minene mentioning the Future Diaries for the first time in front of Nishijima. The two hide in a room, but Minene suddenly feels the urge to visit the bathroom, demanding Nishijima to remove the handcuffs until he realises what the problem is. After Minene goes to the toilet, Nishijima notes she is shivering from the wet clothes she is wearing and suggests wearing new ones.

   The two find a room filled with forgotten designer clothes, Nishijima giving Minene a frilly, bright, gothic lolita dress to wear. Minene is at first uncomfortable with wearing the dress, until Nishijima compliments her, totally bamboozling Minene to the point that she becomes a mumbling wreck. This reaction is likely from not being complimented on for years, leaving Minene red in the face, soft-spoken and nervous. Nishijima asks what weapons she still has, Minene revealing a flashbang grenade. Nishijima realises Minene's attitude has changed and further compliments her, but the two fall over and land in an awkward position which Nishijima immediately apologises for. Knowing his gun is useless against Hiyama, Nishijima turns to Minene for other weapons to use.

   Minene lures Hiyama into an enclosed audio room filled with soundspeakers. Safe behind a wall of glass wearing headphones and goggles, Minene invites Hiyama to witness what an explosion looks like in an enclosed space and sets off the flashbang, dazzling Hiyama with a blast of light and sound that allows her and Nishijima to flee. Deus and Muru Muru watch the scene unfold, Muru Muru mocking it by reading quotes from her shoujo manga. However, Minene suddenly shoots Nishijima and flees, although he survives, wearing a bulletproof vest under his shirt. It is revealed that Minene is aware of Muru Muru's presence, appearing in the Cathedral of Causality and scaring Muru Muru. Minene laments that she never had a proper childhood, since Muru Muru seems to live an eternal one, commenting that she does not need love as she never received it after her parents died.

   The Attack of The Ninth

   After Yuki kills Hiyama, Minene is present at the first meeting of the survival game, dressed in her lolita dress and has put her hair up in a hairstyle to match it. Minene expresses her hope that Yuki is not dead by the time she gets to him. The next day, Minene has already infiltrated the school by planting motion sensor bombs across the campus. Approaching Yuki when he is alone, Minene reveals who Hiyama really was, much to Yuki's shock, and identifies him as a diary owner. Yuno Gasai charges in, but Minene leaps out of the window, activating the bombs in the building, killing countless people but Yuki and Yuno survive. Whilst the two sneak around in the buildings trying to evade explosions, Minene addresses the school's staff and students through a megaphone, telling them to surrender Yuki to her or they will all die.

   Several students, including Ouji Kosaka capture Yuki and drag him out to Minene. However, Kurusu and Yuno both arrive to aid Yuki, Kurusu instructing Yuki to retreive his discarded diary and defeat Minene. Following Yuno's instructions, Yuki dodges the landmines planted in the courtyard by Minene, and tries to stab her diary with one of his throwing darts. However, he misses and punctures Minene's left eye. Minene collapses in pain, Yuno disabling her detonation equipment. Kurusu comes over, telling Minene to surrender as she has no where to run. Minene angrily leaps up, telling him not to underestimate her, firing a smokescreen out from under her dress. Minene races past Kurusu on a motorcycle, telling him that her diary is the Escape Diary. She races out of the school, escaping her captors.

   The Cult of The Sixth

   Minene flees into the mountains on the outskirts of the city, now targeted by the followers of the Omekata cult. Still in pain after losing her eye, Minene collapses out of sight. Yomotsu Hirasaka appears, wearing a bag over his head, and helps Minene to his log cabin where he heals her. Examining her eye, Yomotsu offers to take her to an optician. Giving Minene a piggyback, Yomotsu heads down a hill, but Minene tries to unmask him, instead finding a second paper bag under the first one. Omekata followers appear, searching for Minene, under orders of the Sixth diary owner Tsubaki Kasugano. Minene goes on foot and takes the lead, but is still in pain. Yomotsu informs her that he has called for an ambulance to meet them at the bottom of the hill.

   The two jump down a cliff, but find several Omekata followers between them and the ambulance. Yomotsu decides he will distract the followers whilst Minene makes a dash to the ambulance. Yomotsu reveals he knows who Minene is, questioning her goals, leaving her in stunned silence. Yomotsu and Minene run off in opposite directions, Minene rushing down the hill and makes it to the ambulance where she is helped in by paramedics. However, the paramedics are revealed to be hypnotised cult members, and they inject a truth serum into Minene. Minene tries to fight back, discovering her diary has been replaced with a block of wood. Yomotsu appears and begins to remove Minene's eye as they drive to the Omekata temple.

   In the anime, Minene hides from the police, but all of her escape routes are cut off. Yomotsu appears, taking Minene to his cabin. However, he drugs her, paralyzing her body, so he can remove her eye. Several days later, by the time Yuki, Yuno and Kurusu are summoned to the temple by Tsubaki, Minene's eye has been removed by Yomotsu and she now sports an eyepatch, but is Yomotsu's prisoner in the underground prison of the Omekata. She was also naked, only wearing panties.

   Minene ecchi Minene in the underground prison. Mirai-nikki-615530 Yomotsu tells her of the cult's evil secrets, but is shocked when Yuno figures out his plans and how he has hypnotised the followers. Yomotsu hears a Dead End on his diary, and borrows one of Minene's explosives to use against Tsubaki, tossing Minene the keys to her handcuffs to escape. Minene tries to escape but runs into Kurusu who holds her at gunpoint and handcuffs her hand to his so she cannot escape.

   The two go to the roof where they witness Yomotsu's death, Yuno's capture and Yuki's escape. Kurusu forms a partnership with Minene, offering to give her police intel if she helps him to defeat the other diary owners. Minene is freed by Kurusu after Yuki kills Tsubaki, receiving his phone number and e-mail address.

   Future Diary: Mosaic B

   Three days after the incident at the temple, Minene visits a doctor to get a glass eye whilst keeping her eyepatch. Upon arriving at the clinic, she notices Reisuke Houjou waiting to be checked up. After having her eye examined, Minene looks over to Reisuke, the doctor explaining his parents were killed during the Omekata incident, the police covering up the events as a mass suicide. The doctor suspects Reisuke may be thinking about avenging his parents, but Minene says it would be a waste of time since it is natural for the parent to die first. The doctor asks Minene to send Reisuke in for a checkup.

   Minene goes out into the hall but finds Reisuke missing. Hearing noises in a storage room, Minene looks inside and finds Reisuke trying to grab a bottle from a high shelf whilst standing on a teetering pile of boxes. He grabs the bottle with the hand puppets he is wearing, but the boxes give way. Minene leaps in and rescues Reisuke, scolding him and removes the bottle and the puppets from his hands. She finds a list of items, including potassium cyanide, hydrocyanic acid from a factory, a stun gun, a gas mask, and money from the bank. Reisuke snatches the bottle from Minene, who guesses Reisuke wants to avenge his parents after all. Reisuke says no, claiming his parents were mean and he would not want to save them. His true reason is to beat the people who killed them, namely Yuki and Yuno. He asks for Minene to hand over his puppets, but Minene starts playing with them, claiming that revenge is pointless and he should go to bed with his puppets. However, Reisuke suddenly bursts into tears and asks her to stop. Minene offers to give his puppets back in return for the bottle, again saying revenge is pointless. Reisuke cries, revealing he never slept with his parents and runs off.

   Left with his puppets, Minene decides to chase Reisuke down to give them back. Running outside, Minene steals a man's moped and uses the list to gather Reisuke's items. Minene goes to a chrome plating factory, terrifying the guard who has had an uneventful career there for forty years. Minene places the acid and the puppets outside. Reisuke arrives on a bike, but does not take the puppets with him, claiming he is too old for toys. Exasperated, Minene gives chase. Reisuke visits a supply store and baffles the clerk by asking for a stun gun and a gas mask, although it turns out Minene is holding the clerk at gunpoint from below and Reisuke is allowed to leave with the items, again, leaving the puppets behind. Reisuke goes to buy a drink from a vending machine, but the puppets fall out, Reisuke running away.

   Meanwhile, Kurusu and Nishijima are on Minene's trail, Kurusu trying to convince Nishijima that Minene is just a lookalike. The enraged Minene vows to give Reisuke back the puppets, causing numerous crimes just to give Reisuke his puppets and is chased by the police. Minene goes to a bank to get money, only for Kurusu and Nishijima to arrive to take Minene in. Reisuke arrives a little later, deciding to ditch the money and cycles away. Minene escapes the bank, noting that the last thing on the list is not finished. Reisuke arrives at the elementary school and goes inside the gym hall, finding the bodybags of the Omekata victims. Reisuke finds those of his parents, noting that his mother and father never slept together when alive, but he lays down in-between them. He recalls one of the few days his family was happy when his parents bought him his puppet, but only because both of them were having a good day themselves.

   Minene arrives, having realised the list's final entry was "Papa and Mama". Realising Reisuke is a diary owner, Minene leaves the puppets with Reisuke and tells him to sleep peacefully while he still can. Several days later, Minene is informed by Kurusu that Yuki and Yuno will be attacked by Reisuke at Yuki's house. After Reisuke's death, Minene appears and uses Reisuke's antidote to heal Yuki and Yuno from the toxic chemicals they inhaled, warning Yuki to rid himself of Yuno before its too late.

   Future Diary Mosaic C

   Nine days before the events involving the Tenth diary owner Karyuudo Tsukishima, Minene is out of money and food. She meets Aru Akise who suggests in order to get money, she participate in the Sakurami Beauty Pageant, saying the winner will get 10,000 yen. Knowing who Minene is, Akise alters her details on the pageant form so she will not get into trouble. At the pageant, Minene finds herself against Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka, Rea Amano, Kamado Ueshita, Orin Miyashiro and Ai Mikami. Akise warns Minene that Kamado, Ai and Orin wreck the pageant each year. In the first match, Minene and Orin have to untangle a metal wire to win, but Minene gets frustrated and resorts to snapping the rod in two, and is declared the winner.

   In the second match, Minene and Ai must throw darts at spinning boards to get the highest points. However, due to her hunger, Minene begins to think she is hallucinating and throws the darts at an attendant whose head becomes a dartboard. Minene manages to beat Ai, for pinning the man to the wall, much to Ai's shock.

   Minene considers quitting whilst she is ahead, but the cheers from the crowd inspire her to take on Kamado in the final challenge, an arm wrestling match. Akise asks Minene if she hates the festival, enraging Minene to the point that her anger boils over and she easily beats Kamado in the arm wrestle. Kamado is sent flying into a wall, causing the whole stage to collapse. Minene flees back to her makeshift home, complaining she can't get her money now. Akise arrives, revealing a large bag of foods, sent from the pageant management staff as a thank you for livening up their festival.

   The Fourth's Betrayal

   At some point, Kurusu visits Minene and pleads with her to look after his ill son Yoi, just in case he is targeted by other diary owners. It is at this point that Kurusu joins the game to win, murdering Tsukishima and frames Yuki and Yuno for his death. Yuki and Yuno flee to the hospital where they recognise Kurusu's wife. They follow her, but Yuki is ambushed by Minene. Yuki accidentally blows up one of Minene's bombs in the hospital, alerting Kurusu to their location. Minene is called by Kurusu, who warns her that if she even thinks about doublecrossing him then she will die too. Enraged, Minene abandons her partnership with Kurusu and forms one with Yuki and Yuno instead.

   Taking them to Yoi's room, Minene plans to use him and his mother as hostages, but is shocked when Kurusu refuses to negotiate, planning to storm the hospital himself to save his family. Whilst Yuki and Yuno fight Kurusu, Minene slips out of a window to escape, but runs into Nishijima once again. Nishijima handcuffs Minene just as the flashbang grenade she gave Yuki goes off, followed by an explosion from one of the timed bombs. Minene reveals the existence of the flashbang grenade to Nishijima, knowing Yuki would not be able to handle a real grenade. The two run off to check on Yuki, Yuno and Kurusu. By the time they get there, Yuki has shot Kurusu who tries to stab Yuno with a knife. Minene reveals to Kurusu that Nishijima has been told everything, from the survival game to Karyuudo's death, and Nishijima places Kurusu under arrest. In the anime, Kurusu's conviction is further increased when Minene reveals she recorded the request he made to her, and explains since he is now a criminal, his diary has no power. In regret, Kurusu asks Minene to look after his son and eliminates himself from the game by breaking his diary.

   The Seventh's Battle of Love

   Some time later, after Yuki and Yuno lost to Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami in a fight, Minene, disguised as a nurse, is summoned by Nishijima to train Yuki so he can put up a fight against Marco once again. However, Yuki's father Kurou Amano arrives, leading Minene to test father and son against one another to exercise both of them. Minene eventually departed on a moped, Nishijima thanking her for her help.

   The Eleventh's Kingdom

   Minene eventually becomes one of the final five diary owners, alongside Kamado Ueshita, John Bacchus, Yuno and Yuki. Minene became suspicious of John due to his control over Kamado's orphanage, and his suggestion to Deus to remove Yuki and Yuno from the game, since they had not been heard from for five days. Yuki and Yuno arrive, revealing John's identity. Yuki declares his goal to become God, targeting John to avenge the death of his parents.

   Whilst Yuki and Yuno, and Kamado and John form partnerships with each other, Minene stays alone with Nishijima and Akise as allies. She picks up Akise after he gathers evidence proving Yuno is an impersonator, confronting the other diary owners with his findings, although Yuki flees with Yuno regardless of Akise's discovery. Minene later meets with Nishijima and Akise, revealing she plans to assassinate John. Minene sneaks into the city's university campus and enters a building, finding a room filled with computer harddrives. John enters with Kamado, revealing his plan to give every citizen in Sakurami City an Apprentice Diary by connecting Kamado's diary to the Holon III supercomputer. Calling John insane, Minene throws a grenade into the room, only for John to grab it and toss it back at Minene, blowing up the roof.

   Minene is forced to flee, but the directions on her Escape Diary continue to be overwritten by an unknown source. Nishijima appears, hiding Minene out of sight and sends the other guards off on a false lead. Minene and Nishijima sneak around the campus to get back to the building where HOLON III is kept to bomb it. However, Nishijima suddenly pulls out an engagement ring and asks Minene to marry him. Minene is completely flabbergasted by Nishijima's sudden proposal, and even more shocked when he asks her to be mother to his children. Nishijima manages to slip the ring onto Minene's finger, much to her objections.

   Minene storms off to destroy the supercomputer, Nishijima purusing her and asking for an answer. Minene is unsure how to answer, due to the fact she has always been alone and cared for herself. As Nishijima persists, forcing Minene to state that if he destroys Holon III than she will do whatever he wants, Nishijima happily accepting her "deal". Minene charges into the building, throwing a flash grenade at approaching guards only to discover they are wearing protective goggles. The men restrain Minene, who sees her younger self's ghost nearby, crying her eyes out. Minene considers committing suicide by blowing up a bomb connected to her body, only for Nishijima to run in. He shoots the guards, grabs one of Minene's grenades, and tosses it into the computer room, blowing it up.

   Minene X Nishijima Nishijima leans in to kiss Minene Minene and Nishijima escape outside to a hill overlooking the campus. As Minene ponders how John did not predict Nishijima's involvement, Nishijima comes up behind Minene and wraps his arms around her. Minene objects, but Nishijima reminds her of their "deal" and moves in to kiss her. Minene battles with her mind is about to accept the kiss when Nishijima's police radio goes off, the officer on the line expressing shock about how his phone is recording the future. Minene and Nishijima are shocked, realising John is still alive and his plan has come to pass, the city plunged into chaos.

   As Sakurami City falls into chaos, Minene and Nishijima race through the streets towards Minene's hideout. Stopping in a street, Minene and Nishijima are joined by Yuki's friends Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka and Ouji Kosaka, who all have Apprentice Diaries. Learning there are two other terminals for Holon III, Minene announces her plan to kill John and destroy the supercomputer. Minene departs, intending to kill John alone, visiting the nearby park where she releases the chipmunk family she had been caring for, realising the female was pregnant. Considering whether or not she could be a wife or a mother, Minene is joined by Nishijima who vows to help her. Hinata, Mao and Kosaka also arrive, Kosaka suggesting they should steal other people's diaries to spy on them. Minene has an epiphany and realises how John's diary works.

   Mirai Nikki - 24 - Large 25 Deus giving Minene half of his knowledge and power. She ventures in the Cathedral of Causality, finding the dying Deus alone in a resting chamber. Deus notes Minene's timing and claims he has something he needs her to do. Minene goes to ask Deus about John's Watcher Diary, only for Deus to run his hand and arm through Minene's body. Minene freaks out, only to find the sudden event appears to have not happened, her body unharmed and Deus has not moved from his throne. Minene, still shaken by what did or did not just happen, asks Deus her questions and learns of John's connection to the Future Diaries' creation.

   The next day, Minene, Nishijima, Hinata, Mao, Kosaka (and Akise, who is guarding Kamado), initiate Operation Starling to destroy the Holon terminals, located in the two Quad Towers. Minene and Nishijima venture up the north tower, whilst the others go up the south tower. The group are able to fool John by posting fake diary entries onto their diaries, which John can read, sending his guards running in the wrong directions. As Minene's confidence in Nishijima grows, she finally goes consider quitting her life as a terrorist. However, John figures out Minene's plan and has a claymore bomb placed in a corridor. Minene is too slow to avoid being caught in the bomb's explosion, losing her right hand and lower arm. Nishijima is then suddenly shot from behind by gun-wielding guards. Minene tries to drag Nishijima to safety but the guards fire again. Nishijima jumps in front of Minene and takes the bullets, dying seconds after, leaving Minene devastated, having lost the one person in the world who offered her love and a new life.

   Yuki arrives and kills the guards, revealing he and Yuno used Minene and co. as decoys so the path to killing John would be easier. An infuriated Minene curse Yuki, but agrees to help him kill John. However, she raises a gun to Yuki, promising to kill him should he fail to reach John. The two head to the top floor where they witness John and his assistant disappearing into the Gasai Bank previously owned by Yuno's parents. They are too slow to stop John who seals himself in the vault behind two huge steel doors. Yuki is able to open the first vault door using an identity card and the password which he receives by tricking his own diary's future, only to find the second door which can only be accessed via a retinal scanner which only he and the real Yuno can open.

   Minene raises her gun to Yuki, reminding him he cost her her eye, arm and possible future, and vows to kill him. Chasing Yuki into an office, Minene tells the hiding Yuki that it is pointless trying to resurrect his parents. The despairing Yuki appears, armed with his machine gun, admitting he did not want to kill anyone and asks Minene what he should do if he cannot revive his parents. Minene angrily punches Yuki, knocking off her own eyepatch in the process. Minene leaps to grab her gun, only to see her younger self standing behind Yuki. This moment of hesitation causes Minene to be shot through the abdomen, seemingly killing her.

   Yuki, along with Yuno, return to the vault where John taunts them for their inability to do anything. Minene suddenly appears, bleeding interally. She unzips her jacket, revealing she has a final bomb attached to her body which will detonate when her heart stops. Minene walks into the space between the two vault doors and closes the first one behind her. She gives a psychotic grin to Yuki, telling him that his actions are selfish, but she understands how he feels. As the door closes, Minene tells Yuki that she will open a path for him, but warns him to prepare for the consequences of his actions.

   Mirai Nikki - 21 - Large 19 Minene's 'death'. Alone in the vault, Minene decides destroying her diary first would be a suitable way to die, not wanting her body to be blown up. Minene's younger self appears, Minene greeting her and telling her that now she saved her, can she go away. To Minene's surprise, her younger self is joined by the ghosts of her parents who walk away with the young Minene hand in hand. Minene cries as her younger self thanks her. Minene shatters her diary and begins to fade away, concluding in the end she wanted to be saved as well. Nishijima's ghost appears behind Minene as she fades away, Minene glad to die knowing she can die as a human and as a woman, thanking Nishijima for helping her. The bomb explodes, but fails to destroy the vault, leading Yuno to kill John herself.

   The Final Battle

   On July 28, as the world ends, Yuki discovers Yuno's past, having previously won a survival game in the first parallel world and killed her second self to replace her. As Yuki falls to his death after Muru Muru uses her powers to remove the platform he had been standing on, he is unexpectedly saved by none other than Minene. Minene reveals that seconds before she died, she was saved by Deus, who had given her half of his powers and knowledge to ensure that Muru Muru and Yuno are stopped; an event which took place when Minene asked him about John's powers. Minene now sports a new eyepatch with a star symbol on it, and her missing hand has been replaced with what looks like a miniature, human-sized version of Deus' hand. Minene can now perform superhuman abilities and can fly.

Venturing to the third Yuno's house, they find her alone and in a cage, having tried to eat a grass mat to survive but threw up and fainted. Yuki decides to alter the third world's future by saving Yuno, calling an ambulance to save her, despite Minene's objections. Yuno and Muru Muru suddenly appear, Yuno revealing she has taken the alternate Yuki's parents as hostages unless the third Yuno is handed over. Minene grabs Yuki and the third Yuno and flees the house, escaping to the Sakurami Tower where she reminds Yuki to prioritise who he wants to save. Yuki and Minene land outside the middle school where they first met. Minene hands Yuno to Yuki and departs, telling Yuki she has some things to take care of herself.

   Whilst Yuki deals with Yuno and Muru Muru, Minene makes a public phone call to Kurusu, telling him of his son's fatal heart condition and advises him to get his son to a hospital in order to save him. Minene then engages Muru Muru in a godly battle above the middle school, until Yuno seals Yuki inside her illusion space. Minene asks Yuno if birds fly for any reason or gain, and answers that they only fly because they are birds, implying that Yuno and Yuki fell in love with each other because they did, and not through emotional dependence or protection like Yuno claims they did. Minene goes to attack Yuno, only for Muru Muru to break the bracelets containing her power, revealing her true monstrous form, and she beats Minene until she falls unconscious.

   As Kurusu, Nishijima and Yuno's mother arrive at the school, Minene is thrown from the school rooftop by Muru Muru. Nishijima rushes over to help her, noting that he had somehow met her before. Minene and Nishijima look on as Yuki breaks out of Yuno's illusion space with the second Muru Muru, and Yuno eliminates herself from the game, with Yuki being declared the winner.

   Aru Akise (秋瀬 或, Akise Aru) is one of Yukiteru Amano's friends, and later becomes one of the main characters of the series. Aru is very intelligent and dreams of being a world famous detective when he gets older. Investigating the connections between Yuki and the diary owners, Aru becomes a close ally to Yuki, but an enemy and rival to Yuno Gasai. Aru quickly grows to love Yuki and wishes for him to become God. He is the main character of the spin-off manga Future Diary: Paradox, where he and Muru Muru replace Yuki and Yuno in the survival game after Muru Muru accidentally kills Yuno Gasai while Yukiteru is injured.

   ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

   00:00

   41:20

   Aru is a boy with white hair and reddish-pink eyes. In his first televised appearance he wears a blue jacket over a white dress shirt and black tie. He wears grey pants and black dress shoes. All of his subsequent outfits are some variation on this. Personality

   Aru is intelligent and logical. Although he was surrounded by people who had future-predicting diaries, he was able to outsmart them. He's also extremely observant, noticing small details, putting them together, and using them to his advantage. He is also very calm and somewhat reserved with his emotions.

   Aru is quite social; he doesn't hesitate to befriend those who he's only known for a short amount of time, including people who previously rivaled him, which shows how understanding he is. For instance, although Yuno attempted to kill him on multiple occasions, he still tried to understand and cooperate with her until she kidnapped Yukiteru.

   Although it is shown on many occasions that Aru genuinely cares about people and wants to help them, he is not above using manipulation and breaking the law to get what he wants. Throughout the series he constantly lied and concealed the truth, broke into Yuno's house, and cooperated with Minene Uryu (a known terrorist). ADVERTISEMENT

   Diary & Abilities

   Detective Diary The Detective Diary Aru receives the Detective Diary which allows him to read the predictions of other Diary Holders as well as their actions. This basically renders any opposing Diary useless, as he will always know the outcome. Despite this incredible advantage which easily makes this the most powerful Future Diary in the series, it does have weaknesses. For example, if one already knows the predictions on his Diary.

   Throughout most of the series, Aru relies on his great intellect to solve things. As the detective he aspires to be, Aru is quite smart and can deduce things easily with smart bits of information. For example, during the few times that Karyuudo sent his dogs on a killing spree, Aru was capable of tracking him. He also could figure out that Yuki's Random Diary worked based on his perspective, after seeing it in action only once.

   Defend Eighth Aru defending Kamado from Yuno Being a detective, he has strong ties with the police mostly with Masumi Nishijima; this gives him access to resources used by the police, including confidential information and also the policemen themselves, evidenced through how he could figure out Yuki was a common variable throughout multiple incidents with the Diary Holders, as well as have the police guard different places. Nishijima even seems to rely on Aru's judgment throughout the Diary Game.

   Aru has proven himself to be skilled in hand-to-hand and melee combat, as he was able to overpower Yuno even though she had pinned him down with a knife to his throat. While he is mostly seen without a weapon, when it comes to fighting he does have a preference for bludgeoning weapons like tonfa or a pipe. He is roughly on par with Yuno in terms of combat skill.

   Plot Overview

   History

   Aru Akise, also known as the Observer, was at some point directly created by Deus in preparation for the Diary Game. His intended role was to witness the events of the game and to interfere with in a way that corresponded with Deus' goals. It is implied that with these goals in mind, Aru was bestowed an inquisitive personality and made to love Yukiteru. He was given no knowledge of his supernatural origins.

   Aru's parents Aru's parents Before the game begins, Aru lives a fairly normal life. He attends school and lives in an ordinary house. And in Future Diary: Paradox it is shown that Aru has parents, but their origins are unknown.

   Future Diary: Paradox

   Aru Akise is contacted by Muru Muru after she accidentally removed Yuno Gasai before the start of the survival game.

   The Tenth's Trap

   Aru makes his first appearance in the anime as Yuno Gasai and Yukiteru Amano walk down a street on the way to their new school. Yukiteru notices Aru standing across the street, watching the two of them. Aru smiles at Yuki and disappears before the latter can bring Yuno's attention to him.

   That afternoon, Yukiteru, Yuno, Mao, and Ouji Kosaka are confronted by a vicious pack of dogs who they believe killed Hinata. Aru appears from the trees behind them, saying that he's been following the group and wants to help them out. Mao recognizes Aru as being part of their class. Aru caresses Yuki's face and tells him not to worry or mistrust him, because they're friends. Aru then suggests that they head to the observatory nearby.

   Once they've entered the observatory, Aru introduces himself to Yukiteru again, stating that he wants to be a world-famous detective someday. He reveals that he already knows Yuki's name, because he's been investigating various incidents (related to the diary game) and noticed that Yuki was involved in all of them. He decided that although Yuki was probably hiding something, he is a victim who should be protected from now on. Yuki is relieved and decides that Aru is a good person.

   Yuno believes that Aru is the most likely suspect for being the controller of the dogs. Yuki rejects this idea and decides to use his future diary to predict from where the dogs will try to enter the observatory. Aru helps block the windows along with the others.

   After the dogs give up, Mao suddenly confiscates Yuki's future diary and puts a knife to his throat. Hinata enters the room, revealing that she had faked her death and was alive all along. She states that she hadn't wanted Yuki's diary in the first place, and that her whole plan had been to draw out Aru in order to kill him with her dogs. She states that Aru is also a diary user, and had just been concealing this fact.

   It is revealed that Karyuudo Tsukishima, the Tenth, had been sending his dogs after potential diary users. Aru investigated these deaths and began to follow Tsukishima around to keep an eye on him and confirm his suspicions. Tsukishima thought Aru was a diary user, and his daughter Hinata Hino had decided to lure and kill him.

   Aru proposes a game to Hinata. He flips a coin, and Hinata has to guess which hand it's in. If he wins, then Yukiteru and his diary go free, but if Hinata wins, then Aru forfeits his "diary" and life. Hinata agrees to play since she has Yuki's powerful Random Diary, but in the trial round Aru wins because of guessing and some meddling on the part of Yukiteru and Yuno. Aru plays it off like his "diary" told him the answer, causing Hinata to believe that Aru's diary can read her predictions.

   Thus, in the next round, Hinata does the opposite of what the Random Diary tells her, causing Aru to win yet again. Hinata lets Yuki go, but keeps the diary, wanting to play one more round. Yuno is suspicious, so she takes Aru down and reveals that his phone has no diary written in it, and everyone else is shook. Aru laughs it off and says that he pretended to be a diary user for fun. Yuno sees this as gambling with Yuki's life, so she tries to kill Aru, but he overpowers her.

   To everyone's surprise, Aru still wants to play the last round. Aru sets up a plan with Yuno, and she agrees to go along with it, but makes it clear that she doesn't trust him. In an attempt to gain her trust and show the sincerity of his motives, Aru confesses to her that he has a crush on Yukiteru. Yuno is dismayed by this revelation.

   Earlier that day, Yuki's diary had predicted that he'd find Hinata's corpse, but it was revealed later on that it wasn't really her. Aru noticed this discrepancy in Yukiteru's predictions, and decided to use it to his advantage in his plan. He is successful. Instead of surrendering, Mao takes out a knife, but Yuno runs and stabs her first. Hinata tends to the unconscious Mao while the others escape. Hinata is livid and sends her dogs after the group, regardless of her promise to let them go free. Yuki wants to go back and convince Hinata to call them off, so Aru proposes that he, Kosaka, and Yuno distract the dogs so Yuki can safely get to her. Yukiteru pacifies both Hinata and Yuno, and all the kids are left alive.

   Rescue Operation

   The Eleventh's Kingdom

   Ace6dbe2 Aru is wounded by Yuno. The End Begins

   With Kamado's help, Aru speaks directly with the dying Deus, asking him if it is possible to truly resurrect people. Deus answers it is possible to resurrect the body, but the soul can never be brought back, therefore it is impossible to bring the dead back. With this new found knowledge, Aru realizes that Yuno had been lying to Yuki and decides to warn him; however, Deus stops him and reveals another truth, that Aru is, in fact, a creation of Deus to serve as an observer in the game, whose duty was to obtain information. Aru denies that he was just a puppet and claims he has a will of his own, to which Deus challenges him to prove it. Aru says that he investigated both Karyuudo and Yuno out of his own will, but Deus says that Karyuudo was trying to evade the game and that Yuno is the most important person in the game. Deus gives one final chance to Aru, where Aru replies that his love for Yuki is his own, but Deus claims it is fake before banishing him. However, Aru manages to turn back after successfully receiving his Detective Diary from Kamado, which Aru uses as evidence of his own free will to Deus. Amused, Deus agrees to let him do whatever he wishes.

   Mirai Nikki - 22 - Large 11 Aru fights Yuno Aru is later found by Yuki and Yuno, and Aru says that the Eighth is in a safe place. Yuno asks where is she, and Aru mockingly says that he wants to talk with Yuki and that she should leave. Angered she stabs Aru but proves futile as he has a protective vest. Yuno tries a stun-gun but Aru uses a rubber glove. Yuki and Yuno are shocked at how it is possible since Yuki's Diary confirms his death, and Aru reveals his Diary to them that renders theirs useless. Yuno urges Yuki to go after Kamado while she fights Aru, and he does so. Aru fights Yuno and wins with the help of his Detective Diary. However, Yuno manages to outsmart his diary by stabbing herself, to which Yuno threatens Aru that if left for dead, Yuki would hate him. Confused and shocked, Aru treats her wounds and heads as soon as possible to Yuki afterwards.

   Aru uses this time to try to call out to Yuki, but he cannot make contact. He finds too late and much to his horror that Yuno had by this time tricked Yuki into killing his friends and rushes to Yuki desperately. There he finds that Yuki has killed all the others in an attempt to kill Kamado.

   During his last attempt to convince Yuki about abandoning Yuno as he believes Yuno will kill him to become god. Yuno arrives wounded and tells Aru to get away from Yuki, but Aru kisses Yuki provoking Yuno. He fights once more against her ready to destroy her Diary which he does, however, and much to his shock, Yuno is still alive and slices his throat. Upon reading the entry on the destroyed Diary, he realizes that what he destroyed was the real Yuno's Diary instead of hers, but given that the real Yuno was never a participant, it is impossible that she would have a Diary. Pondering the rules of the game and the power of the Diaries, he finally discovers Yuno's secret.

   Aru, who had discovered Yuno's secret, tries to tell Yuki, but finds himself unable to speak due to his throat injury. He is then decapitated by Yuno while trying to show Yuki his diary's screen, on which he had written his discovery about Yuno. Even as his head flies into the air, spurting blood, his body somehow manages to walk to Yuki, show him the screen of his diary, and reveal Yuno Gasai's secret.

   Tsubaki Kasugano (春日野 椿, Kasugano Tsubaki) is the Sixth diary owner. Tsubaki is the High Priestess and Oracle of the Omekata Religion. Her followers know her as the "Sacred Eye" because of her supposed powers of clairvoyance, although this was a lie until she gained her Future Diary, the "Clairvoyance Diary".

   Appearance & Personality

   Tsubaki is a slender, attractive girl with red eyes; her irises have a dull luster to represent her poor vision. She has long dark blue hair; some of it is pinned up with a red butterfly-shaped hairpiece or ribbon, while the rest hangs loose, partly covering the right side of her face and reaching her hips in the back. She wears a red-orange kimono tied at the waist by a thick white ribbon.

   In the anime adaptation, Tsubaki's eyes are purple instead of red; her right eye is shown to be constantly closed in the present, implying that it was damaged or lost at some point. Her hair is also longer, going down to her ankles in the back.

   Tsubaki is introduced as a polite, considerate and friendly girl who has no desire to play the Survival Game; instead, she simply wishes to survive the Dead End predicted by her diary. She is quite intelligent and relies on her own intuition, believing Yuno will be Yukiteru's undoing. She forms a friendship with Yukiteru, describing him as cute and harmless. However, she forms a tense rivalry with Yuno, both trying to pull Yukiteru from one direction to another.

   Tsubaki's true colors are revealed along with her backstory; bitter, angry, and emotional, she despises the world, the Omekata religion, and her life. She deeply desires the power of God in order to destroy the world and recreate it in the way she sees fit. She's quite manipulative, having tricked Yuki, Yuno, Keigo, Minene, and Yomotsu into coming to the temple in order to eliminate all of them easily. She plays the false role of a damsel in distress in order to easily lure in Yuki, mocking his habit to quickly trust people against him.

   Upon revealing her true self, Tsubaki attempts to quell her own pain by tormenting others, primarily Yuno. She kisses Yukiteru just to watch Yuno squirm and later suggests that several of her male followers gang-rape Yuno to lure out Yukiteru. This contributes to her ultimate demise, as she fails to consider how her actions could galvanize her victims or their allies; kissing Yukiteru prompts Yuno to attack her and nearly murder her on the spot, while her rape attempt gives Yukiteru the resolve to confront and kill her.

   Tsubaki's most valued possession, also known as Temari, is a handball that her mother gave her in her childhood; her descent to madness was expedited when she lost it during a "cleansing ritual" in the temple. She would only be reunited with her treasure after the destruction of her Diary; in her last moment of existence, Tsubaki could only shed tears of anger (in the manga) or sadness (in the anime) at the fact that the ball returned to her too late for it to matter. Diary & Abilities

   Images (3) The Clairvoyance Diary Tsubaki uses the Clairvoyance Diary, one of the few Future Diaries that doesn't take the form of an electronic device. It is a long paper scroll with a green scale design on the back; Tsubaki often carries it in the sleeves of her kimono until she needs it.

   The Clairvoyance Diary records events through the eyes of the Omekata cultists, giving Tsubaki great control of her surroundings and any area her followers are in. Each follower's observations appears on the scroll with a label indicating their name and location; by reading all of the entries, Tsubaki can consider multiple elements of the imminent future across a wider area than most other diaries.

   However, given its reliance on her followers, the Clairvoyance Diary can be disrupted via internal sabotage, which can confuse Tsubaki or limit what information she can glean from the scroll. Examples include when Yomotsu hypnotizes most of her followers, leading to all the diary's entries to reveal the same thing despite the followers being at different locations, or when Yukiteru throws a ball into the air, making all of Tsubaki's followers look at it for a split second. The Clairvoyance Diary also cannot directly predict the future aside from Tsubaki's own Dead End, forcing her to guess the immediate future based on her followers' observations.

   Additionally, the Clairvoyance Diary is extremely vulnerable to damage compared to other Future Diaries. Being a long paper scroll that must be unrolled in order to read its entries, using it presents a large and extremely delicate target for Tsubaki's enemies - it is treated as "destroyed" even if it's only pierced by the point of a hand dart. As a result of this, Tsubaki often has to prioritize protecting her diary over defending herself in a fight, leaving her open to attack; against Yuno, this forced her to sacrifice one of her hands, leaving her even less capable of quickly handling her diary.

   Tsubaki is a skilled manipulator, being able to lure three Survival Game participants and manipulate them into protecting her from the Twelfth with minimal suspicion of her true nature. Despite her partial blindness, she seems to be able to discern things rather well and act accordingly. Also, despite her crude past, her followers obey her every word, implying she is a respected leader despite her open desire to destroy the world. Plot Overview

   History

   Mirai-nikki-615612 Tsubaki's past is revealed. Tsubaki was born and raised within the walls of the Omekata Temple by her loving parents who founded the religion. Because of Tsubaki's poor eyesight, they kept her in the temple for her own safety. She became known as the Sacred Eye, the oracle and figurehead of the religion, with her parents telling their followers that Tsubaki possessed clairvoyant powers. Although worried that this lie would have an effect on their daughter, Tsubaki's parents kept up the act for many years. Tsubaki's mother gave her daughter a handball, which became Tsubaki's most treasured possession.

   Approximately two years before the events of the Survival Game, Tsubaki's parents decided to dismantle the Omekata religion and remove Tsubaki from the temple. However, Funatsu, the second-in-command of the religion, secretly attached a makeshift bomb to the underside of the car belonging to Tsubaki's parents. Obsessed with keeping up the act, Funatsu took Tsubaki's parents for a drive, only to abandon the car has exploded, killing Tsubaki's parents and leaving her as the figurehead and high priestess of the Omekata Religion.

   Unfortunately, Funatsu altered the purpose of the religion; instead of helping troubled people, he imprisoned Tsubaki in a confinement room along with the scroll which would become her Future Diary. He then declared the room would be used for people to cleanse themselves of their sins, using Tsubaki as a sponge. Tsubaki endured two nightmarish years as a sex slave, slowly going insane with her handball as her one source of comfort. Eventually, Tsubaki's handball rolled out of the confinement room and disappeared, pushing Tsubaki over the edge; concluding that everything in the "Outside World" beyond her sight and reach was evil, she gained an intense desire to see it all destroyed.

   One day, Tsubaki was visited by Muru Muru while she was transcribing the reports of her followers on her scroll. She was confused and alarmed by the interloper's presence, especially when she began pulling objects out of nowhere and making herself at home. When she finally attempted to question Muru Muru, she was told that she had been chosen as a participant in the upcoming Survival Game; a bemused Tsubaki wondered why Muru Muru couldn't have just explained that instead of messing with her first. Shortly afterwards, her scroll was transformed into the Clairvoyant Diary, allowing it to automatically describe her followers' observations.

   It is unknown if Muru Muru or Deus were aware of Tsubaki's true intentions for becoming God; if they were, they presumably found her interesting enough to take the risk of the universe being destroyed if she won.

   The Cult of the Sixth

   Tsubaki is introduced with the rest of the diary owners during Deus Ex Machina's first meeting of the Survival Game. She specifically asks how the owners are meant to kill each other when they do not know what they look like. As the owners depart from the meeting with Yukiteru as their primary target, Tsubaki notes how she can see Yukiteru's fear.

   During the initial days of the Survival Game, Tsubaki's cult was infiltrated by several diary owners. Orin was present on behalf of Kamado, and Ai joined the cult to observe them from within. Her diary reported a drastic shift in the future following Yukiteru's opening a certain door in Yuno's house.

   On May 4th, Tsubaki's followers capture Minene Uryu after Yomotsu hypnotizes several members of the religion to do his bidding. Yomotsu sneaks into the temple and keeps watch over Minene. Yukiteru, Yuno, and Kurusu arrive at the temple the next day following a prediction on Kurusu's diary. Tsubaki acts normally, as if her time as a sex slave had never happened, remaining in her confinement room with her scroll. She quickly reveals she is a diary owner, claiming to have no interest in becoming God since she is already his messenger. She unrolls her scroll, revealing she has a Dead End flag which will occur later that night. Tsubaki makes a deal with Kurusu to hand over Minene if the others protect her until the time of her Dead End passes.

   Despite Yuno's objections, Kurusu agrees to the proposal, with Yukiteru remaining in the isolation room to guard Tsubaki for the night. As Orin and Ai delivered some futons for them to use, Tsubaki informed Yukiteru that her diary is not completely omnipotent, since it focuses on the views of her followers. She also warns Yukiteri that Yuno will become his undoing, intensifying Yukiteru's suspicions of Yuno after he found the corpses in her house the night before. Yuno eavesdrops on Tsubaki through her diary, planning to kill her at some point for threatening her relationship with Yukiteru.

   Mirai Nikki - 05 - Large 19 Yuno chops off Tsubaki's hand after she kissed Yukkii. The futons suddenly ignite and burst into flames, trapping Tsubaki in her chamber. Kurusu runs off to turn on the sprinkler systems, whilst Funatsu rallies the followers to put out the flames. However, one of the hypnotized followers kills Funatsu while the rest pour gasoline on the fire to make it worse. Using a fire axe, Yukiteru manages to enter Tsubaki's chamber just as Kurusu activates the sprinklers and puts out the fire. Tsubaki angrily berates the followers after they kill some of their own and banishes them from her chamber. She then thanks Yukiteru, suspecting Yomotsu's hypnosis powers were responsible for her followers' actions. However, she discovers her diary has been compromised; Yomotsu has hypnotized all of her followers to feed her diary misinformation, effectively rendering it useless.

   Yukiteru decides to remove Tsubaki from the Omekata Temple for her own safety, although Yuno objects, accusing Tsubaki of deceiving Yukiteru, to which Tsubaki objects in turn. After Yuno kills several followers who were only faking death, she leads Yukiteru and Tsubaki out of the room in a race for the entrance - along the way, Tsubaki ends up bumping her face into a wall and accuses Yuno of doing that intentionally. Once outside, Yomotsu releases most of the hypnotized followers so he can personally confront the trio. With four thralls dressed in similar outfits to his, the Twelfth appears before Yukiteru to warn him that Tsubaki has indeed been fooling him. Revealing the true intentions of the Omekata cult, Yomotsu tries to kill Tsubaki with a bomb he stole from Minene, only for Yuno to swiftly kill him after identifying him from his followers.

   With Yomotsu dead, Tsubaki reveals her true colors, directing her freed followers to close the entrance doors to the temple and capture Yukiteru and Yuno. Revealing that she does plan to become God, after all, she mocks Yukiteru's naivety before giving him a deep, crude kiss to see Yuno's reaction. Concluding her Dead End should be gone, Tsubaki discovers it hasn't, moments before an enraged Yuno attacks her. Unable to withdraw safely, Tsubaki protects her diary with her own body, losing her right hand to Yuno's axe, and collapsing in agony. Fortunately for the Sixth, Yuno's fatigue finally caught up with her after her initial assault, using the last of her strength to help Yukiteru flee with both of their diaries before passing out.

   After having her arm wrapped by Ai, Tsubaki angrily reveals her backstory and challenges Yukiteru's devotion to Yuno. Deciding to make the Second suffer as she did, Tsubaki allows her followers to gang-rape Yuno as they did to her, calling Yukiteru through a microphone to face her and rescue Yuno. To Tsubaki's surprise, Yukiteru charges in, protecting Yuno and fending off the followers before declaring his choice of Yuno over her, reflecting on how Yuno had demanded that he choose Yuno or Tsubaki to live or die, respectively. Tsubaki becomes infuriated by his choice, but waits to see what Yukiteru will do, believing herself impervious due to having so many followers in the room for her diary to use.

   Tsubaki Death Tsubaki's reunion with her handball comes too late. Unfortunately for Tsubaki, Yukiteru had previously found her long-lost handball whilst hiding and promptly throws it into the air. While momentarily awestruck upon seeing the ball, the Sixth quickly realizes the First's intent; with all of her followers looking at the ball, her diary can't tell her how to stop his attack. She desperately tries to roll up her diary, but realizes that she can't due to the loss of her hand; an instant later, Yukiteru's dart pierces the scroll, and her handball lands nearby. Knowing that her fate is sealed, Tsubaki tearfully wonders why her beloved handball returned to her at that moment, concluding it arrived too late as she is erased from existence.

   The Final Battle

   When Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki, and Minene performed a time leap to the third world, Tsubaki is alerted to their battle at Sakurami Elementary School. As an aide enters with the news that Funatsu is taking her parents for a drive, Tsubaki tells them to wait, as it seems dangerous outside. The aide later discovers a bomb planted by Funatsu under the car, exposing him as a criminal. Funatsu is taken away by the followers, while Tsubaki declares that the religion will help those in need instead of giving in to sin. This changes Tsubaki's future, avoiding the original future of losing her parents and enduring years of sexual abuse.

   Mirai Nikki - 26 - Large 33 Tsubaki sleeping peacefully. In the final chapter of the manga, Tsubaki is shown walking out on the streets of Sakurami City with her parents. She appears to be eyeing Akise with interest, possibly hinting that some elements of Future Diary: Paradox had survived in the third world. In the anime, with the dissolution of the Omekata religion, Tsubaki is shown sleeping peacefully under the loving care of her parents.

   Future Diary: Paradox

   In the spin-off manga Future Diary: Paradox, where Aru and Muru Muru replace Yuki and Yuno after the former is wounded by Takao Hiyama and Yuno is accidentally killed, the same events at the temple are followed at first.

   Akise learns of Funatsu's presence and that the only way to join the religion is to have sex with Tsubaki. Deciding to alter reality against Muru Muru's wishes, Akise turns to Ai and Orin for help. Orin reveals her own objections to harming Tsubaki, aware of her tragic past; Ai shares her feelings but knows one day she may become her enemy. Akise decides to help Tsubaki by showing her the world outside of the temple; he personally approaches Tsubaki and asks to "elope" with her to get her out of the temple.

   Tsubaki objects, but Akise launches the next stage of his plan; having Tsubaki and Ai swap clothes to fool Funatsu's surveillance cameras. Akise causes a blackout to disable the cameras before escaping with Tsubaki disguised as Ai. Tsubaki objects to going outside, but Akise sweet-talks her into agreeing. However, their plan falls apart when Ai is found out, and Akise runs past Muru Muru as she has lunch with Kurusu. Funatsu confronts Akise and Tsubaki, challenging Tsubaki to choose between her life or those of her followers. Akise steps in and chooses Tsubaki's life. Akise manages to escape with Tsubaki when Yomotsu starts hypnotizing the followers.

   AkiseXTsubaki Tsubaki kisses Akise. When Muru Muru appears, angry at Akise for altering the future, Akise vaults over a wall, out of the temple and lands in a convertible where Reisuke Houjou happens to be sitting. Akise takes Tsubaki to admire a view of Sakurami City, where she admits she cannot trust Funatsu and believes he killed her parents. Muru Muru calls Akise, revealing that she has captured Funatsu with help from Yomotsu; she orders him to return Tsubaki to the temple so she can have a chance to avenge her parents.

   Akise, Tsubaki, and Reisuke return to the temple, Akise planning a two-pronged attack to get a confession out of Funatsu. Whilst Akise and Tsubaki act as distractions, Reisuke goes off to convince Yomotsu to end his hypnotism. Orin and Ai aid Tsubaki, but they run into Muru Muru and Funatsu. Tsubaki demands Funatsu to confess. Believing all of the followers to still be brainwashed, Funatsu freely admits that he killed Tsubaki's parents, only to realize that Yomotsu has released his control over the followers, who had heard everything. Reisuke and Yomotsu arrive on the scene, Yomotsu having turned against Muru Muru to aid Akise. A member of the cult angrily punches Funatsu, knocking him out, while Muru Muru flees.

   Afterward, the incident, Akise, Tsubaki, Kurusu, Reisuke, Yomotsu, Ai, and Orin make peace with each other. Tsubaki kisses Akise to thank him, much to his surprise. Later, as Akise tries to stop Muru Muru from rewinding time to erase his efforts in creating a better future, Tsubaki, Reisuke, Orin, Ai, and Marco Ikusaba arrive to help him fend off Muru Muru and a brainwashed Yukiteru. Tsubaki escorts the injured Akise to the memory bank of the Mecha Muru Muru in order to discover Muru Muru's secret. Before departing, Akise thanks her for everything, then promptly jumps into the memory bank. However, Muru Muru succeeds in rewinding time and Paradox's events are erased.

   Reisuke Houjou (豊穣 礼佑, Hōjō Reisuke) is the Fifth diary owner and the youngest of the twelve Diary Holders. Ostensibly appearing as a harmless five-year-old, Reisuke is a master strategist and forces Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai into a deadly chase in Yuki's own house. He is often accompanied with a pair of hand puppets, and owns the "Hyper Vision Diary".

   ADVERTISEMENT Appareance And Personality

   00:00

   41:20

   Reisuke is a child, with ginger hair and green eyes.

   To the unsuspecting eye, Reisuke appears to be just an ordinary child - innocent, bright, curious and polite. However, Reisuke is really a complex child despite being a five-year-old. His parents were implied to be either abusive or neglectful, often fighting and more interested in their own personal hobbies (shopping and gambling). Because of this Reisuke seemingly grew to dislike his parents and learned to take care of himself. However, his parents were at least on one occasion nice enough to buy him a pair of hand puppets, both stylised to resemble a man and a woman, seemingly becoming faux replacements for Reisuke's parents. Reisuke often talks through the puppets and use them for other means, and he portrays them as the ideal parents he would have preferred to have had.

   Mirai Nikki - 06 - Large 31 Reisuke greets Yuki and Yuno. Reisuke uses his young appearance and age to fool people, acting like the normal toddler he should be. However, beneath that, he is really a sadistic, creepy and cruel child, and very intelligent for his age. Despite this, he still has the mindset of a child, referring to Yuki and Yuno as "big brother" and "big sister". He is particularly enthralled by the survival game, seeing it as just that, a game, and has great fun in "playing" against Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai.

   Reisuke's goal to win is to become a "super elite", presumably his view of a God or a better person than his parents were. Despite his goal and behavior, Reisuke does show some signs of kindness. He spares Yuki's mother Rea Amano from being killed, having enjoyed his time with her and even considered his whole time with Yuki, Yuno and Rea to be the family life he had desired. While at first, he considers killing Yuki and Yuno to avenge his parents, he quickly ditches the idea. However, as revealed in Future Diary: Mosaic, a spin-off story focusing on Minene Uryu, Reisuke is revealed to be upset by his parents' death and even abandons his hand puppets at one point after Minene points out to him how he should act like a child. Reisuke eventually visits his parents' corpses, realizing he did love them despite their negligence and sleeps in-between their bodies, Minene delivering the puppets back to him. ADVERTISEMENT

   Diary & Abilities

   Reisuke's Diary is the Hyper Vision Diary, which takes form of a colouring book that displays pictures alongside its written messages. The diary can make three predictions a day, one for the morning, afternoon, and evening; this means he can carry out a maximum of three attacks per day without any sort of potential risk. While limited compared to the scope of some other diaries, the Hyper Vision Diary's predictions give Reisuke plenty of time to plan out his strategies for the Survival Game by giving him an immediate idea of what will happen for the entire day. By depicting the future in words and pictures, it can also make it easier for him to interpret each event; as with other Diaries, the predictions will change if the future is altered by other users.

   While his Diary itself may seem limited, Reisuke makes excellent use of it with his great intellect. Despite being five years old, he has displayed expertise in chemistry and physics, manipulating a wide array of substances to create poisonous materials. He generally uses these chemicals as injections or gas traps, keeping a gas mask and the antidotes on his person to prevent them from backfiring on him. Reisuke is also smart enough to use electricity with rubber gloves to avoid the danger of being shocked and was almost successful in electrocuting Yuno while bathing, having previously filled the bathtub with salt to increase the conductivity. He is good at drawing,when he came to Amano's house, he drew a picture of Yuno and took a sharp scissiors and tried to stab Yuno. Reisuke used the showing the picture to Yuno as a excuse. But Yuno, grabs a pillow before he falls and stab her and she defends herself with it.

   During his time in the Amano House, Reisuke proved himself a skilled infiltrator, using his innocent looks to deceive others and avoid suspicion as he sets his traps. After studying the house, he was able to transform it into a massive death trap filled with poisonous gas; when Yuno attempted to hunt him down, he used decoys to throw her off his trail, set tacks on the floor to impede her movements, and almost killed her by mixing water and electricity on the stairs.

   As a child, Reisuke's actual chances of winning the Survival Game are difficult to measure. However, he is comparatively the smartest of the participants, based on his age. ADVERTISEMENT

   Plot Overview

   Path to Revenge

   Reisuke's parents were murdered by Yuno during the incident at the Omekata Temple; they were most likely two of the followers hypnotized by Yomotsu Hirasaka to kill Tsubaki Kasugano. Reisuke survived the incident and kept in a hospital for a time. Minene Uryu visited the hospital to get a fake eye after losing her right eye, noting Reisuke's presence. After getting the replacement and leaving, Minene spots Reisuke trying to gain some potassium cyanide from a storeroom. Minene rescues Reisuke from falling but is baffled when she finds a list of several dangerous items for a potential chance at revenge. Minene, holding Reisuke's puppets, teases him and tells him to seek revenge, suggesting he takes a nap with his puppets as if they were his parents. Reisuke suddenly starts crying and angrily runs off, claiming he never shared a bed with his parents.

   Having left his puppets behind, Minene decides to give them back to Reisuke and also help him gather the items he wants, despite her opinions on revenge. She goes on a wild goose chase trying to return the puppets, but he continues to leave them behind. The other items including acid from a chrome plating factory, a gas mask, a stun gun, and money, although Reisuke ditches the money after Minene's attempt to rob a bank ends in disaster. Reisuke then visits Sakurami Elementary School, where the victims of the temple incident have been stored in the gym. Reisuke identifies the bodies of his parents, kept in body bags. Criticizing them for being laid side by side, which they never did when alive, Reisuke then lays down in-between them and recalls the time where his parents bought him his hand puppets, crying himself to sleep. Minene arrives and successfully returns his puppets to him before leaving.

   The Fifth's Game

   Reisuke managed to "infiltrate" Yuki's house, living under the care of Yuki's mother Rea for several days until he could be put up for adoption. Reisuke put on his innocent act, introducing himself to Yuki and Yuno and confirming who they are through his puppets. Reisuke immediately shows signs of hostilities, drawing a facemask of Yuno, and runs to give it to her only to trip over a rug and falls onto Yuno, nearly stabbing her with a pair of scissors. However, Yuno knew what was coming and blocked the attempt with a pillow.

   Realizing that he has his work cut out for him, Reisuke locks himself in the bathroom and plans his next move, musing that the First and Second's Future Diaries make a dangerous combination. Following the predictions of his Hyper Vision Diary, he prepares a salad for lunch, injecting toxins into cherry tomatoes for Yuki and Yuno to digest. As Yuki is about to eat his, Yuno stops him and says that the tomato's weight is off slightly; claiming to be concerned for Yuki's health, she removes the salad. After lunch, she meets Reisuke in the hall and tells him that she hopes that his parents' killer will soon be found; an amazed Reisuke realizes that Yuno is suspicious of him.

   Deciding to up his game, Reisuke rigs a new trap in the washroom; he mixes salt in the water and cuts live wires from the washing machine, intending to use them to electrocute his targets. When Yuno prepares her bath, Reisuke asks to join her, secretly using rubber gloves to carry the live wires behind his back until he can get close enough to drop them in the salt water. Unfortunately for Reisuke, Yuki receives a prediction of Yuno's electrocution via his diary and trips a breaker just as the Fifth shoves the wires into the bath; with the power out, Reisuke was forced to flee as Yuki came into the washroom.

   Now aware of who they were dealing with, Yuki informed Kurusu of Reisuke's presence; in turn, the Fourth instructed Minene to keep an eye on things. While Yuki searched for Reisuke's diary, Yuno advocated the quicker option of killing Reisuke with a knife; Yuki objected on the grounds of the Fifth's young age and the presence of Rea. Aside from a brief taunt when he woke up, Reisuke acted normally throughout the morning, enjoying his time spent with Rea whilst keeping an eye on Yuki and Yuno as they continue to look for his diary. Unbeknownst to the others, Reisuke had mailed his diary to himself in a parcel the day before, correctly guessing that his opponents would spend the day searching for it and planning to take advantage.

   Yuno eventually becomes impatient and attacks Reisuke with a hammer, accidentally knocking out Rea. When Reisuke's parcel arrived, Yuki snatched the parcel and opened it, only to release a toxic gas into the house. Yuki quickly succumbs to it, Yuno dragging him into the bathroom whilst Reisuke celebrates his victory. He urges Yuno to play a deathmatch of hide and seek. If she finds him, he will give her the antidote to the gas; if she loses, she and Yuki will die. Yuki objects, but Reisuke reveals he placed Rea outside to spare her. Yuno searches the house, finding it boobytrapped. In the anime, Reisuke has somehow taped all the windows shut despite his size, forcing Yuno to break a window to breathe.

   Yuno eventually goes upstairs, finding Reisuke waiting for her, sitting on an overturned chair. However, Reisuke has left the taps in the upstairs bathroom running; the water quickly covers the landing and gushes down the stairs. Reisuke pulls out the stun gun Minene got him (or a lamp in the anime) and drops it into the water, electrocuting Yuno and causing her to fall down the stairs. Curious of Yuno's actions, Reisuke asks her why she protects Yuki, realizing that she managed to hold her breath despite his ambush. When Yuno replies that she simply loves Yuki, Reisuke decides to kill her. Yuki suddenly charges in, knocks Reisuke away and rescues Yuno by performing mouth-to-mouth. As Yuki faints and falls down the stairs, Yuno grabs her knife and confronts Reisuke.

   The next scene shows Yuno has stabbed Reisuke in the chest with the knife. Accepting defeat, Reisuke hands over the antidote and tells Yuno in the end, only one diary owner can win the game; sooner or later, she will have to fight and kill Yuki. Yuno is shocked by this as Reisuke disappears from existence, putting his support behind her to win. His diary's final entries reveals whilst Reisuke died, he was happy with the outcome. Yuno finally succumbs to the gas, but Minene appears, healing Yuki and Yuno with the antidote.

   Kurusu cleared up the situation using a cover story, although what he told Rea was unknown.

   The Final Battle

   Reisuke is reborn again when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene perform a time leap to the third world, appearing two years in the past. A two-year Reisuke is seen briefly, looking out of a window at the fight going on at the elementary school between Minene and Muru Muru. However, the fight alters history, saving Tsubaki's parents, and thus leading to Reisuke's parents being spared too. The final scenes show a happy Reisuke with his parents.

   Future Diary: Paradox

   In the spin-off Future Diary: Paradox, Aru Akise and Muru Muru temporarily replace Yuki and Yuno after Muru Muru accidentally killed Yuno, causing Yuki to be wounded by Takao Hiyama. During the incident at the Omekata Temple, Akise decides to alter the future by saving Tsubaki Kasugano from her fated death, escaping the temple with her and coincidentally landing in the convertible Reisuke is sitting in. Akise drives the car to safety with Reisuke coming along for the ride, and he agrees to aid Akise and Tsubaki in their plan to expose the cult's second-in-command Funatsu as the murderer of Tsubaki's parents.

   In the 3rd World, because his parents are still alive and never got involved in the Omekata cult, Reisuke is shown to be much more cheerful and kind, running off to find Yomotsu Hirasaka whilst Akise and Tsubaki act as decoys for Funatsu to catch. Reisuke poses as a lost child, luring Yomotsu to him where Reisuke explains the situation, prompting Yomotsu to side with Akise and helps expose Fuantsu. Reisuke is later seen with Tsubaki, the Seventh diary owners Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami, and Orin Miyashiro, aiding Akise in stopping Muru Muru from erasing the alternate events of the survival game. However, Muru Muru ultimately succeeds and Reisuke's death occurs anyway.

   Keigo Kurusu (来須 圭悟, Kurusu Keigo) is the Fourth diary owner, and initially introduced as an ally to Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai. As the Chief Inspector of Sakurami City's police force, Kurusu uses his "Criminal Investigation Diary" to predict the crimes that he will investigate, using its power to identify other diary owners.

   ADVERTISEMENT Appareance And Personality

   00:00

   41:20

   Keigo is a man of about thirty, with shoulder-length black hair, a bit of stubble on his chin, and green eyes (grey in the anime).

   Calm, cool and collected, Kurusu often acts laid-back, calmly challenging Minene Uryu when she bombs Sakurami Elementary School; this gives Yuki the confidence to face Minene himself. As his line of work brings him into conflict with often violent suspects, he strives to anticipate their actions and use their own personality quirks against them while preparing himself for the potential consequences or dangers to himself and his allies.

   Initially, Kurusu has no interest in the title of God; his participation in the Survival Game is an effort to stop the murders that will occur if it continues. He makes an effort to recruit some of the other diary holders into his cause, but his main goal is to capture the ones too dangerous to be left roaming free. He was chosen by Deus to balance out the many criminals and maniacs that are also taking part in the game.

   Kurusu is also a family man with deep attachments to his wife and son, almost to a fault. When he learns that his son has a terminal illness, he becomes wholly dedicated to winning the Survival Game in hopes of saving him; this leads to him becoming desperate and angry, taking increasingly drastic and illegal measures to eliminate the other diary holders. The loss of his morals leads to his defeat, but also awakens him to how far he has fallen; in his last moments, he can only ask his former allies to look after his family before he erases himself from existence.

   Diary & Abilities

   4th-diary The Criminal Investigation Diary Kurusu uses the Criminal Investigation Diary, a cell phone which predicts criminal activities within his jurisdiction. This is an effective way to track many of the other participants, as they are mostly sociopaths who engage in multiple criminal activities during the Survival Game. However, the diary can only predict the results of Kurusu's own investigation, so he must work to make the best use of the information he can gather.

   Being the Chief of Police of Sakurami City, Kurusu has absolute command of the police force. The fact they can fight for him without knowing of his Diary and his participation of the game implies he's a very cautious and manipulative individual if needed. He takes no chances if he can help it, once deploying an entire team of special units (SWATs in the manga & anime) to surround the Sakurami Hospital and almost trap Yuki, Yuno and Minene Uryu.

   Kurusu also is an expert marksman and can shoot targets with incredible precision. During Minene Uryu's attack on Yuki and Yuno's school, he was capable of shooting at the terrorist with enough precision to keep her at bay without killing her (which would trigger bombs that would blow up the entire school). He also is fairly cautious and wears a bulletproof vest at all times.

   Deus and Muru Muru consider Kurusu to be one of the favorites to win the Survival Game. ADVERTISEMENT

   The Attack of The Ninth

   KurusuShadow A silhouetted Kurusu. Kurusu was investigating Takao Hiyama and Minene Uryu's crimes before receiving his diary from Muru Muru. After Hiyama's death, Kurusu turned his attention to Yukiteru, knowing Minene would target him next. In the first meeting of the diary owners, Kurusu was one of the few who didn't immediately target Yukiteru as a priority threat, instead promising to protect him.

   During Minene's rampage at Sakurami Elementary School, Kurusu listened in on her demands and learnt of all of her weapons through his diary. As Yuki was surrendered to her by the students, Kurusu made his move and approached Minene and Yukiteru, introducing himself to the First and explaining the boy was merely bait used by Minene to lure him in. Kurusu aims his gun at Yukiteru when Minene threatens to kill everyone in the school, Yuki tearfully accepting his fate to die.

Yuki follows Kurusu's guidance and manages to defeat Minene by puncturing her eye. Kurusu tells to Minene to surrender, but she uses smoke bombs and her Escape Diary to flee on a motorbike. Later, Kurusu admits he does not wish to play the game; he only wishes to stop the other diary holders from harming each other and innocent people. To this end, he forms an alliance with Yukiteru and Yuno, knowing that the other Survival Game participants will be coming for them.

   Kurusu sends Yuki and Yuno on a date to the amusement park so they can act as bait to lure out Minene. However, she does not show and the two go to Yuno's house unharmed. Kurusu has a police guard Yuki's house, noticing a drastic change in his Criminal Investigation Diary after Yukiteru opened a secret door in Yuno's house.

   The Cult of The Sixth

   The day after Yukiteru retreats to his house after seeing the corpses in Yuno's house, Kurusu appears at his house with Yuno. He explains Minene was captured the previous night by the Sacred Eye religion, led by the priestess Tsubaki Kasugano.

   Mirai Nikki - 05 - Large 22 Kurusu makes an alliance with Minene Upon arrival at the temple, Kurusu is shocked when he learns Tsubaki is a diary owner and considers calling for backup before Tsubaki explains that she does not wish to participate in the Survival Game.

When Ai Mikami and Orin Miyashiro try to assassinate Tsubaki with an explosion, Kurusu races into the depths of the temple to repair the faulty sprinkler systems. He succeeds and calls for backup, learning from Yuki of the situation upstairs.

   Kurusu eventually finds Minene in the temple's dungeon, who tells him about the Twelfth diary holder, Yomotsu Hirasaka, and his powers of hypnosis. When Yuno kills Yomotsu and Tsubaki reveals her true intentions, Kurusu and Minene observe this from a rooftop and form an alliance; Kurusu will give Minene access to police files in return for aiding him in finding other diary owners. Minene is allowed to escape and Kurusu takes control of the temple after Yuki kills Tsubaki. Kurusu and Minene keep in touch over the next few weeks, with Kurusu contacting Minene to rescue Yuki and Yuno from the Fifth diary owner Reisuke Houjou.

   The Fourth's Betrayal

   Mirai-nikki-01-to-13-11 Kurusu kills Tsukishima. Following the death of the Fifth, Kurusu learned that his son Yoi has a terminal heart disease and will die within three months. Distraught by the news, Kurusu decides to claim the power of God in order to save his son, betraying his alliances in the process. Unbeknownst to the Fourth, this was a drastic deviation from Deus's plan for the Survival Game, devised by Muru Muru as part of her own agenda.

   Asking Minene to protect Yoi in case anything happens to him, Kurusu investigates the culprit behind the recent animal attacks, identifying him as the Tenth diary owner, Karyuudo Tsukishima. While the dog breeder was monitoring his daughter's battle against Yukiteru, Yuno, and their friends, Kurusu breaks into Karyuudo's house and shoots him in the back.

   Framed for Karyuudo's death, Yukiteru and Yuno are taken to the police station for interrogation by his subordinate, Masumi Nishijima. Yukiteru is sent into a room with Kurusu, who quickly forces him into a game of Russian Roulette rigged to kill Yukiteru with the last bullet. Foreseeing this on her own diary, Yuno soon barges in to protect Yukiteru, shooting Kurusu multiple times before fleeing with the First; however, this was all part of the Fourth's plan. He had deliberately orchestrated the entire encounter to further implicate Yuno and Yukiteru, having worn a bulletproof vest to protect him from Yuno's retaliation; unfortunately, he hadn't expected Yuno to shoot at his head in the process. Narrowly surviving with his left ear blown off, Kurusu issues a manhunt for Yuki and Yuno, putting Minene on alert.

   During their flight from the law, Yukiteru and Yuno coincidentally spot Kurusu's wife, who they met previously at a bridal fair, on her way to visit Yoi in a hospital. The pair are caught by Minene, but Yuki accidentally sets off bombs which alert Kurusu to their location. Now with most of his head bandaged, Kurusu calls Minene and threatens to kill her unless she co-operates, prompting Minene to abandon Kurusu and form a new alliance with Yukiteru and Yuno, capturing his wife and son as her trump card.

   Mirai-nikki-12 Kurusu takes Yuki hostage. However, Kurusu refuses to negotiate with her and sends in a SWAT team to capture Yuki, trailing behind to kill the First personally. Yuno charges in and shoots the entire SWAT team before threatening to kill Kurusu using a grenade given to Yukiteru by Minene. Kurusu lets Yuki go, but Yuno grabs him to detonate the grenade and take them both out; however, it fails as the bomb was actually a flash grenade. After recovering from the blast and a subsequent explosion caused by Minene. Kurusu confronts Yuki, beating him up before holding Yuno at knifepoint. Yuki raises a gun, with Kurusu daring him to shoot, warning him that he'll likely shoot Yuno instead. To his surprise, Yukiteru manages to miss Yuno with his shot, hitting Kurusu in the stomach.

   Despite his injuries, Kurusu struggles to his feet in an effort to kill Yuno, only for Minene and Nishijima to enter. Nishijima calls Kurusu out for his criminal actions, having legitimate evidence to clear Yuki, Yuno and Minene of their crimes. (In the anime, Kurusu's conviction is extended when Minene reveals she recorded his original request to guard his son. She also mentions that he has been stripped of his rank as a police officer, negating the powers of his Criminal Investigation Diary.)

   KurusuDeath Kurusu eliminates himself from the game. Realizing the error of his ways, Kurusu asks if his family were saved; Nishijima confirms they were evacuated before Minene's bomb exploded. He then asks Minene to make one last deal with him; continue guarding his son in exchange for his own life. Without even waiting for Minene's agreement, he snaps his diary in two, apologizing to Yukiteru for his actions and admitting that he was not expecting his final act to earn forgiveness. He tells Yuki to survive and win the game before the destruction of his diary erases him from existence.

   After his demise, Kurusu was revealed to have left all of his investigative files to Nishijima, including the recovered diaries of those eliminated from the game.

   The Final Battle

   Kurusu is seen alive when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene perform a time leap to the new third world, arriving two years before the Survival Game was set to begin. Minene calls Kurusu on a public telephone, anonymously telling him of his son's future disease and advising him to get him treatment immediately. While surprised by the tip-off, Kurusu heads out to investigate a series of strange events: the disappearances of Yuno and Ushio Gasai, and reports of explosions at Sakurami Elementary School.

   Mirai Nikki - 26 - Large 29 Keigo Kurusu together with his family in the third world Accompanied by Nishijima and Saika Gasai, Kurusu arrives at the school, only to have to chase Mrs. Gasai inside when she spots her husband. When he caught up, he found the Gasai parents protecting their daughter from what appeared to be a second Yuno. Unsure what to make of the strange happenings around him, Kurusu confronts Yuno as she struggles to come to grips with her feelings for Yukiteru, eventually firing a bullet at her when she charged at him with a knife. His shot was blocked by the second world's Muru Muru, who arrived with Yukiteru in tow after breaking out of the illusion world Yuno had trapped them in. Kurusu watches in silent confusion as Yukiteru reunites with the aggressive Yuno, the latter's suicide in the former's arms, and Yukiteru and Muru Muru jumping into a time portal. Before he could ponder on what had transpired, Kurusu noticed another Muru Muru extracting a strange object from Yuno's body; he prepares to shoot her, only for a third Muru Muru to arrest her for her prior misdeeds. A hopelessly confused Kurusu can only watch as the Muru Murus disappear before his eyes.

   Two years later, Kurusu's son is shown to have recovered from his illness and the family are seen among the happier characters in Sakurami City. In the anime, Kurusu, along his wife and son, are waiting for Nishijima to pick them up, but he's late.

   Ai Ikusaba (戦場 愛, Ikusaba Ai), née Ai Mikami (美神 愛 Mikami Ai), is one of the Seventh diary owners, which is shared with Marco Ikusaba (Ai's boyfriend/husband). Devoted to Ikusaba, Ai and Marco share the "Exchange Diary", which the couple uses to keep an eye on each other at all times. They wish to become Gods so they can be together for all eternity.

   Appearance & Personality

   Ai is a beautiful young woman with shoulder-length dark blue hair and purple eyes; while infiltrating the Omekata religion, she often covers her right eye with her bangs.

   She normally wears a light blue sleeveless jacket and white pants.

   From a young age, Ai loved Marco Ikusaba after he befriended her and gave her a family after she was abandoned by her parents as a child (in the anime, she is also grateful for his efforts to prevent her from being sexually assaulted in their high school years). She is very devoted to him, and together they form a strong battle couple. Ai is implied to be a flirtatious person, since the Apprentice Diary she gained, the "Flirting Diary", involved identifying the men she would flirt with. She seems to be at peace with Marco's constant fights, but she is extremely insecure about their relationship; even the vaguest hint of infidelity on Marco's part is enough to send her into hysterics.

   Despite participating in the Survival Game, Ai shares Marco's morals regarding their role. She sympathizes with Tsubaki Kasugano despite knowing that the Sixth would eventually become an enemy if she and Orin Miyashiro had helped her with her troubles. Ai and Marco also refuse to take a life that they do not plan to, treating the wounds of Hinata Hino and Mao Nonosaka who Ai had injured with her knives. She also seems more levelheaded than her lover, pointing out that they should have simply broken Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai's Future Diaries when they had the chance instead of leading them on and giving them an opportunity to take them back. Diary & Abilities

   Marco Ikusaba and Ai share the Exchange Diary, a pair of mobile phones that predict each other's future. Its main advantage is that Ai can predict her own future or Marco's, depending on which phone she uses; however, she generally prefers the latter method so she can protect Marco from danger. While a fearsome combination, the Exchange Diary becomes much less effective if Ai and Marco are separated; additionally, while she would survive unharmed if Marco's phone is destroyed, it would still effectively negate the advantage of her Future Diary.

   Thanks to her connection with Kamado Ueshita, Ai was also granted an Apprentice Diary that she used in tandem with her Future Diary. The Flirting Diary allows her to know the identities and locations of men she intends to flirt with, allowing her to track specific individuals. However, the diary is obviously useless against anyone Ai doesn't plan to flirt with, and like all Apprentice Diaries, it relies on a strong connection with Kamado's Blog Diary to function. On the other hand, Ai can have the Flirting Diary destroyed without any ill effects to herself, and her possession of the Apprentice Diary allows her to conceal her identity as a full Survival Game participant.

   Aside from her Diaries, Ai is a skilled combatant, specializing in ranged combat with throwing knives. She keeps a large collection of throwing knives in her jacket, which she can throw with incredible speed and accuracy; notably, she is left bamboozled when Yuno Gasai successfully deflects them all. It is noted in Future Diary: Mosaic that Ai is one of the "three" main reasons why the Sakurami Beauty Contest is boring, being unbeatable in the knife-throwing competition.

   While she isn't a full brawler like Marco, Ai does seem to have above average close-combat skills of her own, being able to effectively pin and restrain Yuno and having reflexes fast enough to protect her Future Diary from Yukiteru Amano's darts (albeit with a last-second warning from Marco). She also seems to be knowledgeable in other things like infiltration, first aid and parachutes. Story Overview

   Background

   MarcoAiMeet Marco and Ai meet. Fourteen years ago, Ai's parents took her to the Sakurami Tower and told her to wait for them to return. By sunset, Ai realized her parents had abandoned her and cursed the day as being the worst of her life. It was at this point that Marco Ikusaba approached her for the first time, having observed her for most of the day. He told her that if the day had been her worst day, then the next day was guaranteed to be better. He then invited Ai to come live with him in Mother's Village, the orphanage of Kamado Ueshita. Ai accepted the offer, being moved by Marco's consideration.

   Mirai-nikki5 Marco wins a prize for Ai (click for animation) (NOTE: The following events only took place in the Future Diary anime.)

   Ai started her first year of high school following Marco around, having grown quite fond of him while growing up at the orphanage. Marco objected to her following him around all the time, but he eventually relents. The two grew close, and were implied to be dating despite Marco being a street fighter. They eventually revisited the Sakurami Tower, where Ai revealed that she had made a phone diary based around Marco; in response, he suggested that she should focus on something other than him. They then went to the tower's built-in chapel, where Ai admitted that she wanted to marry Marco in it someday.

   Later, Ai finds a letter requesting a meeting in an abandoned factory. Assuming Marco sent it, she went to the factory, only to be ambushed and sexually assaulted by four boys; the letter was a trap set by a group of female students who were jealous of her beauty. As Ai lay on the ground in a state of shock and turmoil, she saw Marco arrive to angrily beat her assailants, even killing one of them when they drew a knife. When Marco ran off afterwards, Ai followed him to the top of Sakurami Tower, finding him about to commit suicide out of shame for failing to protect her. She prevented him from killing himself and promised to be there for him no matter what either of them went through; they then declared their love for each other and shared a kiss.

   The Cult of The Sixth

   FutureDiary34 Ai at the Omekata temple. Ai did not attend the gathering of Future Diary Holders when Deus Ex Machina officially announced the Survival Game, instead allowing Marco to represent both of them. She makes her proper debut alongside Orin Miyashiro, working undercover at the Omekata temple on behalf of Kamado to observe the other diary owners. The duo acted as attendants for Tsubaki Kasugano, but they are by no means loyal, planting a bomb inside a futon which causes a fire in Tsubaki's confinement room. The attempt on Tsubaki's life was thwarted by Yukiteru Amano, Yuno Gasai and Keigo Kurusu.

   Ai and Orin later tend to Tsubaki's wounds after her hand was chopped off by the enraged Yuno, Ai asking Tsubaki to stay still, although Tsubaki claims to have been in worse pain. Ai continued to watch from the sidelines as Tsubaki ordered Yuno to be gang-raped, only to be thwarted when Yukiteru intervenes and destroys Tsubaki's Future Diary. Presumably, Ai and Orin were able to escape police custody and returned to the Mother's Village orphanage.

   The Seventh's Battle of Love

   Marco and Ai were sent by Kamado to intercept Yukiteru and Yuno, unaware of Yukiteru's kidnapping by Yuno. Marco, Ai, and Ta-kun, one of Kamado's orphans, pass by Yukiteru and his friends in a convertible, prompting Ai to show disappointment at missing the chance to meet Yukiteru.

   Several days later, Yukiteru plans to jam a nearby phone communications tower to break the Apprentice Diaries' connection to Kamado's Blog Diary. Marco and Ai break into Ouji Kosaka's house to confront Yukiteru and the recently arrived of Yuno. Ai displays her knife throwing skills by wounding Hinata Hino and Mao Nonosaka, Yukiteru and Yuno escaping into a room through a trap door. Ai and Marco confront them, but their Apprentice Diaries are disabled when Kosaka and Aru Akise jam the tower.

   MarcoAiVsYuno Marco and Ai fight Yuno. However, Ai and Marco are hardly surprised, revealing that they are the Seventh diary owners. The two immediately challenge Yukiteru and Yuno to a fight, with Ai's first knife throw being deflected by Yuno. Unimpressed by the apparent fluke, Ai threw two knives at once, but Yuno deflected them both as she swelled with joy over Yukiteru praising her skill. Increasingly bewildered by her attacks' failure, Ai threw several more knives at blinding speed, but the lovestruck Yuno blocked them all with ease. With her knives expended, Ai joined Marco in their backup plan; retreating through a trapdoor seconds before Yuno could slash them with her knife. When Ta-kun set the house on fire, Marco and Ai took Hinata and Mao outside to treat their wounds, unwilling to have innocent lives lost in their fight.

   Once the students were safely bandaged, the Sevenths went back inside the burning house to confront Yukiteru and Yuno again. Ai and Yuno directly confront each other, with Ai being horrified by Yuno's concept of earning someone's love. She manages to put up a fight, but trips on a rug, leaving an opening for Yuno. Marco runs through the flames, blocking Yuno's attack and is injured, but the lovers are able to defeat Yuno, and Yukiteru shortly afterward, stealing their Future Diaries and leaving.

   In their downtime following their victory over the First and Second, Ai discovered a prediction in the Exchange Diary claiming that Marco will receive a gift from another woman while having a pleasant conversation with her. Torn between horror, heartbreak, and utter hysteria, she tearfully confronted Marco with his apparent affair...only to read ahead and discover that he was buying her an engagement ring. When Marco sheepishly confirmed that he had been thinking about proposing for a while, Ai ecstatically hugged him. Marco later contacted Yuno, inviting her to attempt to rescue hers and Yukiteru's diaries, asking her, Yukiteru and Kurou Amano to come to the Sakurami Tower.

   Mirai Nikki - 16 - Large 30 Ai and Marco just married When Yukiteru, Yuno and Kurou arrive, they discover that Marco and Ai have exchanged vows in the tower's chapel, finally making them husband and wife. Kurou asks Marco to hand over their diaries, but Marco promptly beats Kurou before fighting Yukiteru again. In the confusion, Kurou grabs Yukiteru's diary and seemingly destroys it. However, Yuno quickly realizes the diary destroyed was a replica, and seizes the real diaries inside Ai's bouquet. TaKkun begins to demolish the tower, encouraging Ai and Marco to escape to the top floor where they plan to parachute their way to safety, taking Kurou with them.

   Yukiteru and Yuno rush to the top floor, Marco and Ai arriving shortly afterward to find Yuno alone. Yukiteru talks through loudspeakers, explaining he is hiding out but aiding Yuno from afar. Enraged, Marco defeats Yuno and leaves Ai to hold her down while he confronts the cowardly First in the control room. However, Yukiteru reveals that he was hiding in the observation room all along; with Marco briefly out of the way, he reveals himself to Ai and throws a dart at her diary. With a desperate warning from a returning Marco, Ai is able to narrowly dodge Yukiteru's dart; unfortunately, this frees Yuno enough to slash Ai's throat with a knife.

   The tower's roof collapses, trapping Yukiteru, Yuno and Ai beneath a layer of rubble. Despite her fatal wound, Ai mocks Yukiteru and Yuno for failing to kill Marco, who she believes will escape alone and continue the Survival Game. Yuno holds her at knifepoint, prepared to finish her off, but Marco shouts out to her as he begins lifting a piece of rubble, refusing to leave Ai behind. Marco encourages Yukiteru to help out, chastising him and Yuno for their selfish actions.

   MarcoAi Marco and Ai die together. Acknowledging Marco's point, Yukiteru convinces Yuno to help him move the rubble from the other side, managing to help Marco remove Ai from the debris; however, by the time they do, Ai had died from blood loss. Tearfully cradling her in his arms, Marco gives the last parachute to Yukiteru and Yuno to let them escape the crumbling tower while he remained in the building to join his wife in death.

   The Final Battle

   Ai and Marco appear in the third parallel world created when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yukiteru and Minene Uryu perform a time leap two years into the past. They are seen with Kamado at her Mother's Village orphanage as John Bacchus calls her regarding the future. In the anime, she is seen sleeping with Marco while she hears the commotion at Sakurami Middle School.

   Two years later, Marco and Ai are seen walking together among a street of people where it is shown that Ai is clearly pregnant. In the anime, Ai chats with Marco in a cafe, telling him he must work harder in the future.

   Future Diary: Paradox

   In Future Diary: Paradox, Aru Akise and Muru Muru are forced to stand in for Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai after Muru Muru messes up the future by killing Yuno. Akise decides to alter the game's future by saving Tsubaki Kasugano from death, convincing Ai and Orin to help him by disguising Ai as Tsubaki as a distraction so he can escape with the real one. Ai is found out by Funatsu and she is shown being taken away by Omekata followers. She is later seen after Funatsu is exposed, safe and sound. When Muru Muru plans to rewind the game to alter her mistakes, Ai, Marco, Orin, Tsubaki and Reisuke Houjou come to Akise's aid to stop her. Marco and Ai fight Muru Muru and the brainwashed Yukiteru, but Muru Muru succeeds in her task and erases Paradox's events from history.

   Azami Kirisaki (霧崎 あざみ, Kirisaki Azami) is the Thirteenth diary owner, who only appears in the PlayStation Portable game Future Diary: The 13th Diary Owner. Not much is known about her, but her little sister Kasumi Kirisaki was hospitalised after being attacked by Takao Hiyama. Her Future Diary is the "Video Diary".

   ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

   Azami is a girl with long black hair, tied in a ponytail with a ribbon, and blue eyes. She wears a yellow, hooded raincoat, and a school uniform is visible beneath it, consisting of a white shirt, a blue skirt, black socks, and white and pink trainers. She is also shown to wear glasses. Personality

   Azami is a generally rude person, mainly to the other diary owners, but is generally kind to her sister Kasumi Kirisaki. However, she can be social towards other people as well, including some of the diary owners. This was shown when she became friends with Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai, and agreed to cooperate with them as a team. She's extremely overprotective of her sister and treats her like a daughter and will consider anyone who threatens to harm her, an enemy. Azami is a prodigy due to her gifted. History

   A lot is unknown about Azami's history, but it is shown that she has a dear sweet little sister named Kasumi Kirisaki whom she dearly loved, until her sister is attacked by Takao Hiyama. After that attempted murder, Kasumi is hospitalized.

   Somehow, she is chosen to be the thirteenth diary holder and received the Video Diary. Azami eventually learned the Identities of the 12 Diary Holders and after discovering that Takao Hiyama is the 3rd, she set out for a twisted revenge; one for getting revenge for her sister, the other for herself to become God and use her powers to heal her sister. She began hunting down the 12 Diary Users and the 12 Diary Users must do everything to survive. ADVERTISEMENT

   Diary & Abilities

   Her Future Diary is called the Video Diary. Appearing as a digital video camera, Azami is able to use it to predict what she will record on the camera and use that ability to her advantage. Presumably because she wears the hooded raincoat, she is able to evade detection easily.

   Her Diary's weakness is unknown. Relationship with Other Characters.

   Yukiteru Amano - She teams up with Yukiteru and eventually becomes friends.

   Yuno Gasai - She teams up with Yuno and eventually becomes friends.

   Kasumi Kirisaki - Azami is extremely supportive and overprotective of her little sister as her daughter.

   Takao Hiyama - Takao is the man who attacked her sister and she plans to use the games to kill him. Etymology

   The name Azami may be named after Neptune, the Roman sea god. Azami's surname Kirisaki means "fog, mist, haze" (霧) (kiri) and "cape, peninsula" (崎) (saki) as in the spraying of water, all related to Neptune's domain.

    This page is a featured article!

    Deus Ex Machina is the God of Time and Space and a major character in both the Future Diary manga and anime. He creates the Future Diaries (with the help of John Bacchus) and holds the Survival Game to find a suitable successor to his title before his imminent death causes the destruction of the universe.

    Able to manipulate time, space, and the laws of cause and effect, Deus is the most powerful entity in the series, acting as the judge of the Survival Game.

    Appearance

    Deus is an extremely large and alien figure, towering over other characters at well over a hundred feet tall. His head resembles the skull of an unknown creature, with a golden crown on top and a shock of white and blue hair protruding from the back; he also has long, pale arms with claw-like fingernails. The rest of his body is hidden beneath a dark cloak with a high collar and golden adornments, with a red and purple band around the neck area. Personality

    Despite being a god, Deus is very laid-back and playful, seeking courses of action that will amuse him in addition to achieving his goals; unfortunately, he is completely apathetic and/or oblivious to the consequences of his "games". In his first appearance alone, he is shown provoking a war for fun, and he develops the Survival Game without considering the consequences for the participants being forced to kill each other. He also seems to have chosen several participants based on how "interesting" they will make the game, regardless of their motives to become his successor. As a result, many of the Survival Game candidates are planning to use their eventual godhood for selfish and destructive ends - some even plot to destroy the universe outright - and others have no desire to play the game at all. Furthermore, while Deus never outright lies, he is not above manipulating the truth to achieve his desired goals, such as evading Yukiteru's question over whether or not he could revive the dead as a god.

    Although far from a benevolent god, Deus is not without compassion and has occasionally done good things without any personal profit. Prior to the Survival Game, he saved Minene Uryuu from death despite her hatred of gods, offering her a Future Diary and a place in his game without coercion. Additionally, while Deus's rationale for holding games is often incomprehensible, he shows a clear sense of honor when the Survival Game is in progress, answering the participants' questions and doing whatever he believes necessary for the game to be as fair as possible. He appointed/created a special observer to collect information on the participants and report any serious deviations from the game, and sent Minene on a mission to stop Muru Muru from unfairly supporting Yuno. In the latter case, he even gave half of his own knowledge and powers to Minene in order to aid her mission, despite accelerating his own demise in the process.

    Deus appears to have extended relationships with the different diary owners.

    He is rather fond of Yukiteru, at first posing as his imaginary friend and personally makes him the "First" diary owner. Deus openly supports Yukiteru throughout the game, unphased by Yukiteru's mishaps and believing it is all part of his future to become his successor. He also has a unique relationship with Minene Uryuu, who does not believe in God and wants nothing more than to rid the world of the very concept of a deity (which would include herself if she won the Survival Game). After being made aware of Deus's existence, Minene openly hates him but is willing to ask him for advice, and even protests to receiving a portion of his powers when the time comes. For his part, Deus views Minene as an ally and admires her ceaseless determination in the face of adversity, choosing her for his plan to counter Muru Muru's scheming. Deus and John Bacchus seem to be good friends; they created the Future Diaries together, and Deus deliberately used Sakurami City as the stage for his game at John's request. For his part, John seems to care for Deus, but also uses Deus' needs as an excuse to push his own plans in the Survival Game, requesting that Yukiteru and Yuno be eliminated from the game to speed it up before Deus dies. The fact that he interacts with certain humans (seemingly without any explanation) implies that Deus may, in fact, be fond of some humans, or at the very least those whom he finds to be interesting. Powers and Abilities

    Deus is an ancient deity who rules over time, space and the laws of causality. It is implied that he may be able to rewind time, but leaping back in time can create parallel worlds. He has control of the Akashic Records, the universal compendium of knowledge and history. He is shown to be able to create artificial lifeforms, namely Aru Akise, who he can program with a full range of emotions and desires; when their use has expired, he can deconstruct them just as easily.

    Lop Deus in the Cathedral of Causality. Deus operates from the Cathedral of Causality, depicted as a large domed building with purple lighting. Deus sits in a large throne which hovers just above the ground amid a partial sphere of metal fragments; he can also summon a "resting sphere" around himself to conserve energy and have private conversations with others. The cathedral also has an arena where Deus and Muru Muru summon the diary holders for occasional meetings. The arena is covered with an endless cloudy sky, revealed to actually be a cover for the Akashic Records. As Deus's death draws nearer, his body, throne, and the Cathedral itself all begin to crumble and fall apart.

    Despite his tremendous power, even Deus has limitations. He remains oblivious to the existence of the first alternate world, implying he only has power over the time and space of the universe he lives in. While capable of observing much of the world at once, he is not omniscient; being unaware of Muru Muru being replaced by her first-world counterpart, for instance. He also cannot resurrect the deceased, only restore their physical bodies as soulless shells.

    While Deus's true lifespan is unclear, it is both finite and inextricably tied to the universe; without a God of Time and Space, all of creation will be destroyed. The Survival Game is an elaborate means for Deus to find a successor to continue maintaining the universe following his death. Story Overview

    The First World

    Mirai Nikki - 20 - Large 26 Deus and John Bacchus formulated the Survival Game. Not much is known of Deus during the first iteration of reality, but he eventually reached the end of his lifespan and began seeking a successor to his title. At the suggestion of John Bacchus, Deus developed the Survival Game in order to find a worthy heir, creating the Future Diaries for Muru Muru to distribute to the candidates.

    While the exact details of the First Survival Game are unknown, it apparently played out according to Deus's design, as he saw no need to act directly. It is suggested he died at 28th of July, shortly before Yuno Gasai won the game; Muru Muru would transfer his powers to the Second, marking her as the new god of their universe.

    The Second World

    In the series proper, Deus is introduced as Yukiteru's imaginary friend. He empowers Yukiteru's phone to become a Future Diary about three months before his predicted demise; when Yuno reveals that she also possesses a Future Diary, Deus notes that he never said that Yukiteru was the only one to receive the gift. Following Yukiteru and Yuno's victory over Takao Hayama, Deus summons the remaining participants to the Cathedral of Causality to formally introduce them to the Survival Game. After explaining its purpose, the rules, and some basic information about the Future Diaries, he specifically names The First (Yukiteru) as his favored candidate to succeed him. This would prompt most of the other participants to target the First as a major threat.

    Deus continued observing the game from his Cathedral with little comment until Yukiteru found a secret room in Yuno's house. On a whim, he opened the door, causing a massive shift in the future that even shook the Cathedral. In contrast to Muru Muru's panic, Deus was pleased by the drastic change, calling it "a second miracle" after he had twisted causality to bring the twelve participants of the Survival Game to Sakurami City. As the shock to the timeline subsided, the God of Time and Space mused that he was right to have chosen Yukiteru for the Survival Game.

    After Yomotsu Hirasaka, Tsubaki Kasugano, and Reisuke Houjou's eliminations, Deus sent his Observer to investigate Karyuudo Tsukishima, suspecting that he was trying to outlast the other participants by hiding in his mansion. Shortly thereafter, the Tenth contacted Deus and requested permission to loan his Future Diary to a third party; while somewhat perplexed by the request, Deus allowed it.

    When Keigo Kurusu killed Karyuudo and betrayed his alliance much earlier than expected, Deus commented on the "third miracle" before realizing that Muru Muru had manipulated the Fourth into action. While Muru Muru dodged his attempt at punishing her, she admitted to motivating Kurusu into action in an effort to speed up the game, reminding Deus that they had very little time to find his successor before his death. While Deus accepted Muru Muru's logic, he regarded his servant with much more caution from then on, especially when she challenged him to wager on the winner of the Survival Game. Noticing that Muru Muru favored Yuno while he bet on Yukiteru, Deus directed his Observer to investigate the Second's house, suspecting that there was more to her than was readily apparent.

    After the Apprentice Users made their appearance, Deus contacted Yukiteru (and possibly the other participants) to let them ask questions about the new diary users.

    Mirai Nikki - 24 - Large 25 Deus transfers some of his power to Minene. When Yukiteru's mother was killed by his father, Yukiteru asks Deus to revive her; however, Deus admits that he can't, citing the loss of his power as the day of his death draws nearer. In the final meeting of Diary owners, he almost erases Yukiteru and Yuno from existence when they fail to appear with the others, but they arrive just in time and reveal John Bacchus as the Eleventh. With all of the remaining Diary owners' identities revealed, Deus removes the shadows concealing each of them, allowing everyone to see their remaining competition for his throne.

    Deus is later seen talking with Muru Muru after Minene's attack on John Bacchus, before dismissing her as he went to rest. Deus is soon visited by Minene in his resting sphere, who asks him about John's Future Diary; accordingly, he reveals the nature of the Watcher Diary and relates how he collaborated with John Bacchus to create the Future Diaries. Deus also takes this opportunity to transfer some of his powers to Minene so that she could stop Muru Muru's scheme to let Yuno win the Survival Game, expressing his suspicions that both Muru Muru and Yuno secretly hailed from the First World where Yuno had already become god. Before returning Minene to her world, he sealed the memory of his revelations within the depths of her mind, intending them to return to her when she was needed as his trump card.

    By the time of John's death, Deus's condition had degraded to the point where the universe was starting to collapse, creating voids in the world that wreaked widespread destruction. At this time, he was visited by Aru Akise, seeking to confirm if it is possible to resurrect the dead. Contrary to what he implied to Yuki, Deus admitted that he can revive the body of the deceased, but not their soul. He then stopped Akise from leaving, revealing his true nature as the Observer before commenting that he has outlived his role. Slowly vanishing into the Akashic Records, Akise tried to prove that he has a will of his own; Deus calmly and easily disproved each of Akise's arguments, almost destroying him completely until Kamado Ueshita granted him an Apprentice Diary of his own. Amused that Akise was indeed capable of something outside his assigned role, Deus let him live on his own account.

    Shortly after his meeting with Akise, Deus's body finally collapses entirely, leaving behind a core which would last long enough to grant godhood to the winner of the Survival Game. In this state, Deus warns Muru Muru that she must allow the game to run properly, as she's restrained by her seals to do so; however, his earlier suspicions proved correct. The Muru Muru that had assisted him throughout the Second Survival Game was actually serving the First World's god: Yuno Gasai, who had similarly replaced her own Second World counterpart in order to spend more time with Yukiteru. As such, Muru Muru was not bound to obey Deus's will, and thus continued with her own plans.

    During the final battle, Yukiteru received assistance from Minene, who had survived her apparent demise in the battle against the Eleventh when Deus's parting gift activated. With her restored memories and newfound abilities, the former Ninth was able to bring Yukiteru to the third world that Yuno created in an attempt to repeat the Survival Game once more. Deus's core is eventually taken from Muru Muru by her second world counterpart, who bequeathed the core to Yukiteru after he won the game.

    The Third World

    The third world's version of Deus was approached by John Bacchus, whose Watcher Diary had gleaned information from Yukiteru's Future Diary after his arrival from the second world. Learning of his eventual death and failure to achieve his goals, John convinced Deus to cancel the Future Diary project, therefore nullifying what would be a third Survival Game. As Deus was still in need of a successor, he and John began pondering alternative options for finding a suitable candidate. Deus also tasked Aru Akise with tracking the changes to the third world brought on by the second world's incursion, granting him an assistant in the form of Gremory to aid him.

    When Yuno unlocked the first world Muru Muru's prison, Deus personally stopped the third world Muru Muru from pursuing her further. He explained that the first world's Muru Muru had viewed the preserved memories of her incarnation of Yuno, seeing the trauma that the Second had suffered in the past two iterations of the universe. As a result, Muru Muru had realized the depth of her own mistakes and sought atonement; furthermore, Deus believed that Yuno's ability to remember and pursue Yukiteru through three separate timelines was a manifestation of fate. As such, he allowed the first world's Muru Muru to transfer "her" Yuno's memories to the third world Yuno before releasing her to assist his Muru Muru in bridging the gap between dimensions.

    When Yuno broke the dimensional barriers between the third world and the second world, Deus observed her reunion with Yukiteru. Since both of them had won a previous Survival Game, he happily named Yukiteru and Yuno as his successors as joint gods of the third world. It is implied that this announcement either killed Deus shortly afterwards or simply designated the two of them as the ones who would receive his core following his inevitable demise

11. #11Deus (Another World)

    Keys: Deus (Another World)

    Deus is a mysterious entity in the Future Diary -Another:World- drama series. They replace the original Deus Ex Machina in the drama continuity. It is unknown if Deus is, in fact, a deity, although they similarly serve as the host of the Survival Game.

    It is later on revealed, that "Deus" is really a virtual reality program named "Olympia", which was created as a new method of treatment for coma patients gone horribly wrong.

    Appearance

    Deus appears as a holographic purple emoticon resembling a smiling sun.

    In their human form, they take the appearance of a woman with light-brown, shoulder-length hair, wearing a short black dress and black high-heels. Personality

    Deus seems to view normal human life as quiet, boring and not worth taking into consideration. They refer to such lifestyle as worthless, evident in how they seem to be indifferent about the lives being lost in the game. They instead consider the survival game as a much better way to define one's future.

    However, despite all this, they genuinely love humans (or more precisely their patients) and wish for nothing more, than to create a perfect world for them and make them happy. Plot Overview

    Deus appears at the end of the first episode, presenting themself to Arata and Yuno as the host of the "game" and how there will be one winner, while the losers await death.

    They explain the rules. There are seven Diary Holders and they must kill each other until one remains. The only way to stop a Dead End is to kill the one with a Diary who triggered it, and if a Diary is destroyed its owner disappears. The time limit is a mere month. The winner will have a wonderful future, namely, a new future diary and what is written in this Diary will happen and it will come to pass as they see fit. And encourages the participants to steal each other's future before they disappear themself.

    When Arata finds out the truth about the survival game and enters Olympia again, with the Release Code to stop Deus, they lure him to them and confront him in their human form. Deus explains to Arata that Olympia isn't perfect yet, that it needs a "last piece" to work properly, without it, time in the virtual world simply goes into a loop of one month. The Survival Game was created by Deus to find out, which one of the participants had the strongest will to live and use the winner as said "last piece". They say that Arata has disappointed them since he was so close to winning the first game, but was killed by Yuno Furusakis AI before he could truly finish it. Deus gives Arata two choices: choose the real world and use the release code, which would shut Olympia down and send him and the others back to the real world, where he'd still be comatose or to choose the virtual world, stay in Olympia forever and become the "last piece". To their surprise and anger, Arata chooses the real world, saying that he will go back together with Yuno. Deus says that Arata has once again disappointed him and leaves.

    They are later on seen observing Rui, seemingly having chosen him as the last piece instead. They use some sort of a brainwash on him, ordering him to "remove" Hoshino Arata. When Rui fails to do so, Deus angrily states that he is useless and has no soul, killing him afterward by destroying his future diary. They then start a new survival game containing Yuno, Tohru Kibe, Haruna Okie, Megumi Fuwa and Kinjiro Hagito. But Yuno manages to foil their plans, by convincing the others not to let themselves being manipulated by Deus.

12. #12Funatsu

    Keys: Funatsu

    Funatsu (船津, Funatsu) is the second in command of the Omekata Cult led by The Sixth, Tsubaki Kasugano. Serving as a minor villain, he himself appears little in the series, but played a crucial role by twisting Tsubaki and Reisuke Houjou to the point of insanity. He appears in Future Diary: Paradox, serving as a secondary villain to Aru Akise and Tsubaki.

    Appearance & Personality

    Funatsu is a bald old-aged man who wears the traditional robes of the Omekata Cult.

    Funatsu is a traitorous, scheming and power-hungry individual who seeks nothing more than to make the Cult his by any means necessary. He cruelly killed Tsubaki's parents, the leaders of the Cult, because they wanted to give the High Priestess Tsubaki a normal life and would have led Funatsu losing his power in the cult. His wickedness was shown in that he would orchestrate what would be one of the greatest disasters of the series by effectively forcing Tsubaki to submit through gang-rape and injection of drugs to break her and turn the otherwise benevolent Cult into a criminal organization. With little to no sympathy for Tsubaki, he would allow her to be tortured until she mentally broke. All for his own gain. Plot Overview

    History

    His previous life before joining the Omekata Cult is unknown. It is known since his earliest appearance that he has served as the second in command of the Cult for a rather long time, posing as a sincere and devoted member of the cult to its leaders, namely Tsubaki's parents. He would plot their death through means of a bomb attached to a car two years prior to the series, after knowing they wanted to dissolve the cult. He is successful and consequently convinces the shocked and confused members of the Cult to perform criminal acts starting by gang-raping Tsubaki, who would be tortured for years until her sanity finally fades and becomes the ruthless individual she is later on.

    The Cult of the Sixth

    Funatsu mostly appears through flashbacks and only shows up briefly in one scene. He remains the Second-in-Command of the Omekata Cult, keeping Tsubaki locked in her prison indefinitely while allowing her to be repeatedly raped under the excuse that anyone who has sex with her will be cleansed of sins. Funatsu's actions at this time have twisted the parents of The Fifth, Reisuke Houjou after participating in the religion's horrific schemes, and therefore Funatsu's responsible of the creation of both Tsubaki and Reisuke as two of the most insane participants of the Survival Game.

    Funatsu makes an appearance when Omekata followers hypnotised by Yomotsu Hirasaka, the Twelfth, begin their rampage across Omekata Temple. Funatsu tells a follower to put out one of Hirasaka's fires, but another hypnotized follower comes up from behind and kills Funatsu with an axe.

    The Third World

    Funatsu is seen again in the third world. Thanks to the efforts of The First, Yukiteru Amano and The Ninth, Minene Uryu who changed the future by saving the third incarnation of The Second, Yuno Gasai this would cause a domino effect on the future of the Participants.

    Here, Tsubaki would hear reports of an explosion at Sakurami Middle School, leading her to advise her parents to wait before leaving on their drive. This event bought enough time for followers of the Cult to discover a bomb that had been planted under her parents's car. Funatsu is revealed to be the culprit and promptly apprehended by Omekata followers. With his assassination attempt now foiled, the adverse effects of his plans on Tsubaki and Reisuke are gone, and the two are seen living happy lives.

    It is unknown what happens to him, as he never appears again in this timeline. It is presumed that he was arrested following the incident.

    Future Diary: Paradox

    Funatsu reprises his role in Paradox and his actions at first follow the main storyline. However, when Aru Akise attempts to rescue Tsubaki from the temple, Funatsu gathers the cult to stop them from escaping. Akise escapes with Tsubaki and Reisuke anyway, while Funatsu allies himself with Muru Muru and Yomotsu Hirasaka to recover Tsubaki. Akise and Tsubaki are ambushed by cult members under the hypnosis of Yomotsu. When Tsubaki challenges Funatsu to confess, he at first does not fall for the trick. However, with Akise's urging, Funatsu openly admits to his culpability in killing Tsubaki's parents while standing in front of the whole Omekata Cult, who he believes are still hypnotized.

    Akise laughs and reveals that this had been their plan all along: Reisuke was to lure Yomotsu under the guide of a little boy 'needing to be rescued'. Reisuke would explain the situation to Yomotsu who, under his belief of justice, would need to help Tsubaki by removing the hypnosis from the Cult members. The Omekata members immediately exclaim at Funatsu's confession. Seeing this, Funatsu immediately denies it, but a member of the cult punches him for his audacity, knocking him out cold. He is later arrested.

    At the end of Paradox, Muru Muru succeeds in reversing time, and the events of Paradox are erased.

    Hinata Hino (日野 日向, Hino Hinata) is the daughter of the Tenth Diary Holder, Karyuudo Tsukishima, and one of Yukiteru Amano's friends at his new school who owns the apprentice diary, "Friendship Diary".

    Personality

    Hinata is a bright, cheerful and tough girl who is very outgoing and athletic. She does daily morning jogs and is implied to have done some fighting in her time, judging by the plaster she wears on her cheek, also sporting the title of "Hinata of Umesato". Fiery and looking out for her friends, Hinata never lets her friends down and supports them unconditionally. Having faith in the friendships she has made, Hinata always tries to keep a positive outlook on life. Hinata also seems to have a fixation on her body, claiming to have had plastic surgery done on her breasts, and wears T-shirts which expose her stomach. Hinata's friends include Mao Nonosaka, Ouji Kosaka, Aru Akise and Yukiteru Amano. Hinata attempts to befriend Yuno Gasai, referring to her as "Yuno-cchi", although she gives up after seeing how dangerous Yuno can be.

    Hinata is very attached to her father, wishing to earn his praise and love which she never received throughout her childhood, Karyuudo being more attentive to his dogs than his daughter. Karyuudo does love Hinata, but considers her to be very naïve and "easier to fool than a dog". He lends his Future Diary and attack dogs to Hinata to eliminate Yuki, Yuno and Akise, under the pretense that he wishes to become God to rewind time and start his family life with Hinata. After Mao is injured during Hinata's confrontation with Akise, Hinata is driven to despair, believing she has not only lost her friends but her father's trust as well. When Yuki helps Hinata, she becomes grateful to him, becoming quite attached to him and is very quick to race to his aid or jump to his defence. Diary & Abilities

    Initially, Hinata borrowed her father's diary, The Breeder Diary, which can predict the movements of her father's dogs and those of their targets. With this Diary, she is able to not only see the future of the dogs and their targets but also allows her to control the hounds and make them obey her every command, using codenames like Alpha 1 for a set of dogs, Alpha 2 for another set of dogs and so forth. While this Diary grants her a powerful army of dogs, the weakness is that the more dogs she controls, the more difficult it is to keep track of their every movement and thus she can be rendered vulnerable. However, she lost it after her father was killed by Keigo Kurusu.

    Later on the story, when John Bacchus obtains the Eighth's Diary, Hinata obtains her own Apprentice Diary, The Friendship Diary, which is able to predict the future of all those she considers her friends: Yukiteru Amano, Mao Nonosaka, Ouji Kosaka and Aru Akise. Very much like in the case of Yuno and Yuki, her diary compliments with Mao's Lovely Hinata Diary, which predicts Hinata's future. Plot Overview

    The Tenth's Trap

    Hinata makes her debut appearance in Yukiteru and Yuno's new school, as a member of Yukiteru's new class. She stops Ouji Kosaka, who was bothering Yukiteru, by punching him in the back of his head and introduces herself to him as well as her best friend Mao Nonosaka. She gives Yuki a hand to help him get up, but he trips and falls instead, his hand landing on her pants and pulling them down, revealing her underwear to the class.

    Screenshot0029 Yuki makes a lasting first impression. Flustered and embarrassed, she yells at him. Mao did not miss the opportunity to take a picture, though. The teacher suddenly arrives then, and they are forced back to their seats.

    Later, in class, Kosaka gets the last set of copies, therefore leaving Yukiteru without a copy. Neither the teacher nor his companions seem to notice (or care), much to his disappointment, but Hinata notices him and gives Yuki a copy, telling him she had an extra. She also apologizes for "hitting him too hard" previously, before going back to her work.

    The teacher informs everyone in class about the violent murders that had been going on lately, and advises them to return home in groups for their own safety. Hinata joins Yukiteru and Kosaka's discussion and tells them that the victims were eaten, and that the corpses had teeth marks that proved this.

    However, Yukiteru asks if that wouldn't identify the culprit through medical records, to which Hinata agrees. Mao adds that all information was being held by the police, but perhaps they could later ask Akise, who was absent that day. At Yukiteru's question, Hinata informs him that Akise is the boy who usually seats on the empty seat to his left. Thinking about Akise and his detective tendencies, Hinata gets an idea.

    After school, Hinata leaves with Mao, Yukiteru and Kosaka, and they meet up with Yuno Gasai in the school entrance, who isn't very pleased to see him surrounded by new friends. Together, they all manage to sneak into the crime scene, which was guarded by only one person, despite Yuno's claims that Yuki shouldn't go to that kind of places. Since the crime scene was a park, Hinata and the others use the time to play in the games there as well as looking at the crime scene.

    Seeing Yuno all by herself, separated from them, Hinata invites her to play with them. Yuno claims she's fine by herself, although it was a lie, as she was writing "die" in the ground while she spoke. Deciding she could have it her way, Hinata runs with Yukiteru towards the highest part of the park, from where they can observe the whole city. There, she asks him if he was feeling better now, which he claims he is. Yuki asks her why does she care so much about him, to which Hinata simply answers "because we're friends".

    Mirai-Nikki---08---Large-193 Hinata finds the hounds While Mao talks wiith Yukiteru, Hinata gets deeper into the woods surrounding the park, complaining about how slow her companions were. She hears a strange sound and turns around to discover an impressive amount of shadowy creatures growling at her. Noticing a surprising change in his diary, Yukiteru assumes there's another diary holder nearby and runs in search of Hinata, followed shortly by Yuno and the

    Mirai-Nikki---08---Large-213 Hinata's "death" others. It doesn't take much time for them to find Hinata's arm, and later her corpse, which is surrounded by various vicious-looking dogs.

    Much later, after the group take refugee in the park's observatory and drive away the hounds, Mao captures Yuki after he reveals himself to be the First. Hinata then walks in through the observatory's door, and apologizes to Yuki. Hinata tells Akise, Yuno and Kosaka not to move while Mao holds Yuki hostage, and she then proceeds to take his diary.

    Upon seeing Yuno's reaction to her actions, Hinata tells her to calm down, that Yukiteru wasn't originally her target and that she would give him back if her request was fulfilled, said request being Akise's diary. She explains that she faked her own death, initially assuming Akise would not be able to know it if he believed the body to truly be hers, which was the case with Yukiteru's diary. Upon this, Akise challenges Hinata to a "coin toss" duel, and since she possesses Yukiteru's diary Hinata accepts.

However, he is surprised to find Hinata calming down the dogs, she admits she has gained an attachment to the animals, leading to a better relationship between Tsukishima and Hinata that alters their future.

The Mayor of Sakurami City, John Bacchus is the actual creator of the Future Diaries technology and suggested the concept of the survival game to Deus Ex Machina. He put the first Future Diaries together to create his own "Watcher Diary".

    Appearance & Personality

    8CA John is a middle-aged bespectacled gentleman dressed in fine clothes and wearing a hat resembling a Jewish kippah. Using his position as mayor of Sakurami City, John is the most powerful man in the city and his influence is very strong. In his opening scene, John convinces the entire city council to agree to shut down Kamado Ueshita's orphanage by crying crocodile tears and blubbering about how he adores every child in the city as if they were his own. John is obviously intelligent and manipulative, but can be just as honest.

    He is very polite and acts like a gentleman towards Kamado. However, he is perhaps one of the more ruthless of the twelve diary owners, being strategic and using his intelligence to use the outcome of any situation to his advantage. His goal in the game is to help humanity evolve to a higher form of being by having every citizen have an Apprentice Future Diary, sharing similar beliefs to the Macedonians, Romans and Germanic people. Diary & Abilities

    Bacchus the Watcher John using The Watcher John's diary is known as The Watcher. It is a tablet that allows him to check the entries of every Diary User, be it a Survival Game participant or an Apprentice Diary User. This gives him several advantages, such as being able to track the position of his foes as well as prepare countermeasures if an entry suggests he's in danger. While very powerful, it cannot identify misinformation; thus, Diary Users can simply rewrite their entries to trick The Watcher. It is also unclear if it can read entries on Diaries manifested as non-electric devices (such as the Diaries used by the Fifth and Sixth), although Deus himself claims that it can read any Diary; presumably, it has a supernatural means of doing so for non-electronic Diaries.

    Being the Mayor of Sakurami City, John has great power and influence in the city's politics; he is also wealthy enough to have his own personal guard. He once used his influence to shut down the Mother's Home in order to corner The Eighth into joining him, which shows he also has great intelligence and is a skilled manipulator. The greatest demonstration of his wealth is with the Holon supercomputer, which has 3 servers and is overall Japan's third most powerful supercomputer. He has his personal guard cover 2 whole floors on his towers and still have a large amount of men to defend him as well as the needed weaponry. Knowing he would face eventually face the Eighth, he had a jammer attached to his personal car to cut the connection to the Server's Diary and leave the orphans defenseless.

    His power is great enough to have access to information and codes only known to Yuno's dead parents, which served to protect him behind a Bank Safe.

    Muru Muru once said that John had a 91.02% chance of being the winner of the Survival Game, and he is arguably the most powerful of the participants at the time of his full introduction. Plot Overview

    History

    Mirai Nikki - 20 - Large 26 John Bacchus and Deus formulated the survival game. John, wishing to evolve humanity to new heights, met and approached Deus with the proposal to give mankind some of his divine power. His concept was the Future Diaries, which could predict the future. Learning of Deus' approaching demise, John's idea would contribute to the survival game Deus had in mind to choose a successor. Deus used his powers to help create the powers of the Future Diaries, whilst John developed the actual technology. The two made several archetypal prototypes to test out the powers of the diaries - The "Radar" Diary, which could predict a person's surroundings; the "Searcher Diary" which predicts the actions of certain individuals; the "Organizer" Diary which predicts the actions of groups; and the "Supplier" which gives others the power to predict the future.

    Using the data of these original Diaries, John formed a fifth prototype, the "Watcher" Diary, in order to watch and record the activities of all other diaries. This effectively made John the first Future Diary owner in the Second World's Survival Game, despite being officially designated as the Eleventh.

    John debuted with the other diary owners during Deus' first meeting of the survival game, targeting Yukiteru Amano as the primary target to eliminate after he killed the Third owner Takao Hiyama. He is present at the second meeting, and other subsequent ones, although he does not make a move in the game until later on, likely observing the other owners until half of them are eliminated.

    The Seventh's Battle of Love

    John begins to make his move against the other diary owners, manipulating Kurou Amano into his services by telling him that if he destroys Yuki's diary, his debts will be cleared. However Kurou fails because of the interference of Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami who had used fake cellphones to mislead Yuki and Yuno however saving Yuki in the end when Kurou breaks the fake instead of the real one.

    The Eleventh's Kingdom

    After Kurou's failure, John has his subordinates attempt an assassination of him and Yuki. Kurou is killed, but Yuki uses his diary to kill the men, prompting him to play the game after all and target John. John makes his plans to eliminate Kamado next, convincing the council of Sakurami City to shut down her orphanage after the incidents involving the residents.

    At the final meeting held between the last diary owners, John suggests to Deus to eliminate Yuki and Yuno Gasai from the game after they have not made an appearance in five days, although Minene Uryu objects. As Deus is about to follow John's request, Yuki and Yuno arrive, Yuki revealing John's identity to the other owners and vows to kill him in order to avenge his parents. Forming an alliance with Kamado, Yuki and Yuno plan to ambush John whilst he is on his way through a country road, guarded by Masumi Nishijima. However, John anticipates the attack and uses an EMP weapon to disable Kamado's Apprentice Diaries. Yuki and Yuno then turn against Kamado, killing her orphans, causing her to flee. However, John and Nishijima pull over in their car, offering Kamado a ride.

    Bacchus Gun John fending off Yuno and Yukiteru John and Kamado make their getaway, Yuki and Yuno giving chase in a car down the motorway. Yuki eventually rams John's car until it crashes, allowing her to confront the Eleventh directly. Despite having a gun aimed at his head, but John merely mocks her as Minene arrives with Aru Akise, carrying with him the umbilical cord of the "real" Yuno Gasai, something which John takes note of. He tries to shoot Yuno but Yuki flees with her. Several nights later, John takes Kamado to the city's university where he reveals the HOLON III supercomputer. He explains his plan to Kamado - to connect her Blog Diary to the supercomputer, so every citizen in Sakurami City can become Apprentice Diary owners, allowing him to create a superior race of human beings like Macedonia, Rome and Nazi Germany tried to do. Minene, who is spying on the conversation, calls him a maniac and tries to throw a grenade at him. John immediately catches it and tosses it back, causing Minene to flee. However, Minene and Nishijima are able to destroy the computer terminals, believing they have defeated John. That is until a policeman speaks on Nishijima's radio, claiming his phone is telling him of his future, Holon III actually possessing two more terminals.

    Learning John is keeping the other two Holon terminals in conjoined twin buildings, Minene plots to blow them up and then to kill him. She learns of the abilities of John's Watcher Diary and his past from Deus, and initiates Operation Starling to defeat John. Teaming up with Nishijima, Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka and Ouji Kosaka, Minene leads the group up the two buildings, each of them adding false entries into the Future and Apprentice Diaries to confuse John and his men, misinformation being the Watcher Diary's weakness.

    However, with help from his assistant Ryuji Kurosaki, John is able to deduce Minene's plan and plants a claymore mine in her path. Minene is caught in the explosion and loses an arm, whilst Nishijima is gunned down by John's men. Hinata, Mao and Kosaka are also caught. However, Yuki and Yuno arrive and split up to eliminate John and Kamado, the latter hiding in the terminal room in the southern tower. Yuki contacts a news crew to send a message to John via a helicopter, instructing him to commit suicide, but John is able to reverse the situation and dismiss the news crew. Yuki and Minene race to stop John, only to witness him and Kurosaki disappearing into a bank once owned by Yuno's adoptive parents.

    John and Kurosaki seal themselves inside the bank's vault behind a door made of solid steel. Yuki and Minene try to figure out the password, Yuki managing to stage his own future to follow Kurosaki and learn the password to the vault, correctly identifying. He successfully enters the password, John shooting Kurosaki dead so Yuki cannot obtain any more details. Using the password and a security key, Yuki opens the vault door only to discover there is a second vault door between him and John. Yuki and Minene get into a gunfight and run off, leaving John safe until Yuki returns with Yuno. John continues to believe that Yuno is an impersonator, knowing the only way to open the second vault door is through a retinal scanner that only works for John himself, Yuno's parents, and the real Yuno.

    John speaks to Yuki over an intercom system, mocking Yuki and his parents as being useless "samples" of the superior race he wishes to create through the Apprentice Diaries. John advices Yuki to escape through the underground waterway, continuously mocking him for being a crybaby. Minene returns, having been shot by Yuki and is close to dying. Stumbling into the gap between the vault doors, Minene produces an explosive which will detonate when her heart stops, planning to blow apart the doors to allow access to John. Minene destroys her diary and activates the bomb, blowing open the first vault door and dies. However, it is revealed that the second vault still remains closed. John mocks Minene's failed sacrifice, and a despairing Yuki is dragged away by Yuno.

    Yuno places Yuki in the underground waterway, and disappears. In the vault, John prepares to leave but notes Yuno's diary entry mentions her planning to kill him. John turns around, only to see the second vault door opening. To his horror, Yuno is revealed to have used the retinal scanner, revealing her to be the real Yuno Gasai after all. John only has time to register his disbelief as Yuno runs at him, armed with a sword, and swiftly decapitates him. Yuno later tells Yuki she killed John when he emerged from the vault to cover up her own deceptions. John's dream eventually ends with Kamado's death several days later, and the destruction of the world.

    In the anime, after Minene's failed attempt to blow herself up and the vault door, Yuno sends Yuki off to destroy Holon III whilst she waits outside the vault. However, Yuno opens the second vault door using the retinal scanner and shoots John through the head with a gun.

    The Final Battle

    John appears in the third parallel world when Yuki, Yuno, Minene and Muru Muru perform a time leap back two years into the past. John witnesses the explosions at the elementary school, having already designed his early Future Diaries. Telephoning Kamado at her orphanage, John informs her he is going to start giving her council funds to the orphanage, for the sake of the future. John ends the call, telling Kurosaki changing the future is necessary, having read Yuki's Future Diary and learnt of his death in the future, impressed his technology could show the diaries of a person from another world. John visits the third version of Deus and reveals that he is cancelling his Future Diary project, thus, cancelling the future survival game of the third world.

    Two years later, after the original Yuno's suicide, John is seen in the company of Kamado. They walk down a street together with other characters, possibly a couple due to John's happy expression, or they are merely working together to make Sakurami City a better place. In the anime he is seen taking Kamado with him, suggesting they are in fact engaged.

    Kamado Ueshita (上下 かまど, Ueshita Kamado) is the Eighth diary owner. A large, rather unconventional-looking woman, Kamado runs the "Mother's Village" orphanage in Sakurami City. She has raised orphans for at least fourteen years, including Marco Ikusaba, Ai Mikami and Orin Miyashiro.

    As the least harmful of the Survival Game's participants, Kamado has no interest in becoming God; instead, her orphans fight to protect her from the other diary holders.

    Appearance & Personality

    Kamado is a portly woman with strange, almost cartoon-like proportions; her arms and legs are disproportionately small compared to her body, while her head is disproportionately large. She has short black hair, green eyes, and large pink circles on her cheeks. Her upper lip has a slight cleft, which makes her mouth resemble a cat's. She wears an orange dress with a white chef's hat and a matching apron.

    Having cared for and raised numerous orphans over the years, Kamado is a doting motherly figure beloved by all of her orphans, who form an army to fight in her stead during the Survival Game. Kind, caring, polite and pacifistic to a fault, she is perhaps the most sane and least violent of all the diary owners, and the only one aside from John Bacchus who does not engage in physical combat.

    While Kamado has no interest in becoming God, her children will do anything to protect her and wish for her to win the Survival Game. It is implied that Kamado would accept the mantle of God for the orphans' sake if she happened to win the Survival Game; if she does, she wishes to make the world a better place for children so they would not have to worry about things.

    She loves children in general, showing concern even for those not in her care like Yukiteru Amano and Aru Akise. She even proves willing to forgive Yuki for attempting to kill her (and allowing Yuno Gasai to do it instead), simply asking him to make a better future for the children before passing away without grudges or regrets. Diary & Abilities

    Kamado has the Blog Diary, a laptop computer capable of creating Apprentice Diaries for people that connect to its server. The main advantage of this process is that Apprentice Diaries don't follow the same rules as the normal diaries; a user cannot die if the diary is destroyed, and it is also implied that they are not considered candidates to become God, therefore making treason unlikely among those under her wing. She can even give Apprentice Diaries to people with Future Diaries (as seen with Marco and Ai) or who have lost their original Apprentice Diaries (as seen with Kosaka).

    As with the normal Future Diaries, Apprentice Diaries have precognitive powers that reflect their owners in some way; coupled with their inability to erase their own host and the Blog Diary's ability to freely create new diaries for users that lose one, Kamado can theoretically create a nigh-limitless army of Diary users to fight on her behalf. This lets Kamado form a dangerous combination with John Bacchus; augmented by the supercomputer HOLON III, the Blog Diary instantly transforms every phone in Sakurami City into an Apprentice Diary, giving John's Watcher Diary unparalleled reach.

    The Blog Diary's main weakness is that it has absolutely no ability to predict the future on its own, not even Kamado's Dead End. It is possible that Kamado could circumvent this by creating an Apprentice Diary for herself, but it is unclear if this is even possible; if it is, she never attempts it. As a result, Kamado is at a drastic disadvantage if facing any other Diary user one-on-one, forcing her allies to fight in her stead.

    While the Apprentice Diaries lack the primary weakness of Future Diaries, they need to be connected to the Blog Diary's server in order to function. If there is any sort of jamming, the Apprentice Diaries are rendered useless. Kamado also seems to be unable to give an Apprentice Diary on a whim; Ouji Kosaka received his Kosaka King Diary after making successive posts on a blog and Aru Akise only received his Detective Diary after Kosaka transcribed all the entries in Aru's notebook onto his phone. It appears that a certain number of posts are required to produce an Apprentice Diary, marked by the user's online rank going from "commoner" to "Apprentice Diary User" on the server; it is believed that the Blog Diary needs the information to determine the abilities of its generated Apprentice Diaries.

    While Kamado herself has no apparent fighting skills, she has her own personal army composed of the very orphans she takes care of. The orphans are a formidable force; in addition to their Apprentice Diaries, they are skilled in close combat, use of firearms, explosives, infiltration, and other combat operations. Kamado also has a strong alliance with the joint Sevenths, Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami, who were once raised in her orphanage.

    During the events of Future Diary: Mosaic, it is implied that Kamado possesses great physical strength despite her rather portly frame and lack of combat skills. She is considered one of the three main reasons the Sakurami beauty contest is boring, as the contest is of skills rather than appearance and Kamado proves unbeatable in arm wrestling. Plot Overview

    Kamado debuted with the other diary owners at the beginning of the story, although she is not seen in person for a while. Rescue Operation

    Kamado becomes aware of Yukiteru Amano's kidnapping at the hands of Yuno Gasai. With Kosaka as a user of her blog system, she was able to identify Yuki and Yuno and gave Kosaka the powers of an Apprentice Diary. With his new diary, Kosaka was able to help rescue Yuki, who abandoned Yuno with his friends. Now knowing their identities, Kamado sent Marco, Ai and Ta-kun to intercept Yuki and Yuno, presumably to either capture or kill them. Orin informed Kamado of Kosaka's actions while the Eighth was busy pulling vegetables out of a vegetable patch. Kamado calmly concludes the situation is going well, before going off to scold a boy harassing a young girl.

    The Seventh's Battle of Love

    Kamado's identity is quickly discovered by Yuki's group, and they make a plan to cut off her diary's ability to create Apprentice Diaries. Operating from Kosaka's house, Kosaka and Akise successfully shut down Kamado's diary by turning off the power of a communication tower near Kosaka's house. However, Marco and Ai, being Future Diary owners, are unfazed by Yuki's plan; they successfully strip Yuki and Yuno of their diaries, but spare their lives.

    Masumi Nishijima approaches Kamado and Orin with a search warrant to investigate the Mother's Village orphanage for Marco and Ai, unaware that they are at the Sakurami observation tower with Yuki, Yuno and Kurou Amano. Nishijima eventually learns of the situation at the tower, guessing Kamado's co-operation was a decoy for Marco and Ai to attempt to take out Yuki and Yuno. However, the tower collapses and Marco and Ai are killed. Kamado's reaction to their deaths is not seen.

    The Eleventh's Kingdom

    By the time Yuki decides to play the game in earnest, Kamado is among the five remaining candidates for godhood. John Bacchus, the Eleventh diary owner, convinces the city council to order the closure of Kamado's orphanage in order to put her at a disadvantage. At the final gathering between the remaining diary owners, Yuki reveals John's identity to the others - much to Kamado's surprise - and vows to kill him to avenge his parents.

    Kamado's Army Kamado and Yukiteru's army of orphans. A couple of days later, Yuki, Yuno and Kamado form an alliance to eliminate John. Waiting for John to pass by on a country road, Yuki learns from Orin that Kamado has never once stated she wants to become God, but counters her belief by explaining the orphans want her to become God. John passes by, his car driven by Nishijima. Two orphans stop John car by faking a toll pass, allowing Yuki and the army of Apprentice Diary-wielding orphans to charge down the hill to ambush John and his men. However, thanks to his Watcher Diary, John learns of Yuki and Kamado's alliance and uses an EMP-like device in his car to block out the Apprentice Diaries.

    In their moment of vulnerability, Yuki apologetically turns on Kamado and the orphans, promising to grant their wishes when he becomes God. He begins shooting the orphans while Yuno decapitates Orin and impales Ta-kun, who tells the horrified Kamado to flee. She escapes down the hill, with Nishijima and John allowing her to clamber into their car, leading to a car chase. Kamado angrily blames John for her orphans' deaths, but John states that she has no one to blame but herself, telling her his diary cannot be beaten. The two are chased by Yuki and Yuno down the highway, until Yuki rams John's car off an overpass onto a road below where he and Yuno confront him. However, John and Kamado are able to escape when Minene Uryu and Aru Akise arrive with accusing evidence that Yuno is an impostor.

    Later, Minene learns John is at the city's university and eavesdrops on a conversation between him and Kamado. John asks Kamado to relinquish her Blog Diary in order for his plan to succeed, prompting Kamado to remove her dress and reveal the computer strapped to her body. John, being a gentleman, covers Kamado with his jacket, much to her surprise (this scene is removed from the anime). He then proposes his winning plan - by attaching Kamado's diary to the supercomputer HOLON III, he can give the power of the Apprentice Diaries to everyone in Sakurami City who owns a phone, creating a superior race of humanity with him as their leader. Kamado does not openly object to the plan and goes along with it, although Minene's position is revealed and she flees knowing John's plan. She tries to destroy the supercomputer, but learns there are two other terminals in John's business towers.

    Minene, Nishijima, Hinata, Mao, Kosaka and Akise all join forces to stop John's plan, with Yuki and Yuno joining them to kill both John and Kamado. Yuno breaks into one of the terminal rooms to kill Kamado, only to be blindsided by Akise, who flees from the building with Kamado and Yuki's friends.

    The End Begins

    Following the deaths of Minene and John, Kamado becomes Yuki and Yuno's last target. With the Eighth now in the care of Akise and friends, Yuki receives a diary entry that Akise will call to negotiate with him. However, Akise has other plans and decides to protect Kamado. He requests an audience with the dying Deus, with Kamado escorting him to the Cathedral of Causality before returning to Hinata, Mao and Kosaka. Deus reveals to Akise his origins and begins destroying his body. When Kamado and the others witness this, Kosaka copies the notes from Akise's detective log onto his phone, inspiring Kamado to create an Apprentice Diary to save Akise. Having proved that he has a purpose beyond what he was created for, Akise is freed by Deus and is teleported before Yuki and Yuno, his new Detective Diary able to read the predictions of Future Diaries even when their futures are altered.

    As Akise fights Yuno, Kamado flees with Hinata, Mao and Kosaka to a block of flats. Yuki chases them, armed with a gun. Convinced that his friends have betrayed him (thanks in part to Yuno's manipulations), Yuki ends up murdering Hinata, Mao and Kosaka. The black holes created by Deus' death rip apart the apartment block, knocking out Kamado and trapping her beneath some rubble. After Akise's apparent death at Yuno's hands, Yuki and Yuno confront the Eighth; Yuno is ready to issue the fatal blow with a knife, but Yuki realizes the horrors he has done and begins crying. Kamado awakens suddenly, noticing Yuki and asks him to make the world a better place so that children do not have to worry. Yuki is unable to answer as Yuno stabs Kamado and kills her.

    Akise, mortally wounded by Yuno, realizes the truth about her apparent fake identity and runs to warn Yuki, but is decapitated by Yuno. However, he manages to show his discovery to Yuki in the form a text message which his headless body shows to Yuki. Yuno destroys his diary, ending the legacy of Kamado.

    The Final Battle

    When Yuki, Yuno, Minene and Muru Muru perform a time leap back two years into the past, they create the third parallel world. Kamado is shown alive and well with Marco, Ai, and her other orphans. Orin runs in, receiving a telephone call from John, who has learnt of his own death by reading Yuki's Future Diary. John tells Kamado that he is offering assistance to her orphanage to alter the future, later informing the third world's Deus that he is cancelling the Future Diary project (and thus, the Survival Game) to escape his own death.

    Two years later, Kamado and John are seen walking down a street together, presumably on good terms and possibly in some sort of relationship.

A lover of dogs, Tsukishima runs a kennel home and breeds dogs, however, he has also trained them to attack and kill people. His diary is the "Breeder Diary". He is the father of Hinata Hino.

    Personality

    Tsukishima is a wealthy gentleman who runs Sakurami City's dog home, treating each of his dogs like a beloved family member. He is shown preparing for them expensive meals including wine, and even has them sitting at a long dining table, although it appears they are not trained in table manners. Despite this, he was still willing to train his dogs as attack animals for his purposes and sacrificed them in droves when the Survival Game began.

    Tsukishima appears to care little for humans, including himself, eating cup noodles while his dogs feast. Because of his detached attitude, Tsukishima has isolated himself from his family. He is shown to have a wife, but her location during the events of the series is unknown. His daughter Hinata loves him and wishes to earn his attention and love, having often been neglected by Tsukishima, even as a young child. Tsukishima is well aware of Hinata's need for approval, considering her to be very naive and "easier to fool than a dog".

    His indifference to his daughter is shown very strongly throughout the series. Instead of fighting in the Survival Game himself, he gives his diary to his daughter and convinces her to compete on his behalf, putting her in dangerous situations while he hides in his mansion and monitors the events on his supercomputer. He even goes as far as to force her to murder innocent people in an attempt to flush out another diary holder; while he promised to reverse their actions if he became god, it is implied to be a lie (outright stated in the anime). This shows him to be a greedy and selfish man with an extremely manipulative and cowardly side.

    Despite his icy exterior, Tsukishima appears to show some remorse for not being a proper father to Hinata, asking her not to become a bad person like he did. Diary & Abilities

    Karyuudo's diary is The Breeder Diary, which is mostly used by his daughter Hinata. It enables the user to see the future of both Karyuudo's dogs and the people they see. It also enables the user to control the dogs directly, with Karyuudo using code names like "Alpha 1" and "Alpha 2" for specific groups.

    While the Breeder Diary grants Karyuudo a powerful army of dogs, it still requires him to personally keep track of their movements; thus, he can be rendered vulnerable if he tries to control too many dogs at once. However, he bypasses this weakness by monitoring the dogs through his huge supercomputer and allowing Hinata to direct them in the field.

    As a diary owner, Karyuudo trained his dogs to be murderous and vicious attack animals, giving them metal mouthpieces to enhance their bites. He also owns a large computer mainframe which he uses during his planned attack against Yukiteru Amano and his friends; as mentioned above, this appears to help him coordinate his dogs without overloading the Breeder Diary. Plot Overview

    The Tenth's Trap

    Mirai Nikki - 08 - Large 24 Karyuudo serving dinner to his beloved dogs Karyuudo Tsukishima debuts with the other diary owners at Deus Ex Machina's first meeting of the Survival Game. Like the others, he decides to make the First owner, Yukiteru Amano, his target. By late May and early June, four diary owners had been killed, leaving Tsukishima quite fearful for his life. He begins to notice Aru Akise lurking about outside and informs Hinata of his presence, guessing he is a fellow diary owner. Tsukishima comes up with an idea to give Hinata power over his diary in order to expose Akise as a diary owner, as well as make his move against Yuki. During the second meeting with Deus, Tsukishima requested to give his diary to a third party, much to Deus' surprise. Keigo Kurusu, the Fourth diary owner, informs Yukiteru of this event, revealing Deus believed it was at first an excuse to get out of the game but then allowed Tsukishima's request. Tsukishima loans Hinata his diary and his attack dogs, promising Hinata that if he became God, he would go back in time and make up for neglecting her.

    Having trained his dogs to attack people, Tsukishima stages a number of serial killer-like murders, creating a similar public scare like that of the Third diary owner Takao Hiyama. The dogs work on their victims was at best horrible, acting devouring parts of their victims' bodies and leaving the remains for the police to find. When Yuki starts his new term at Umesato Elementary School, Tsukishima had lent his diary to Hinata, giving her the opportunity to gain his love and approval. Upon meeting Yuki, Hinata suggests investigating the sites where her father's dogs killed people. Yuki agrees, accompanying Hinata, Mao Nonosaka, Ouji Kosaka and the Second owner Yuno Gasai to the park where they find one of the crime scenes. Hinata runs off ahead and fakes her death, using a fake arm to make it look like she has been torn apart by her attack dogs, on loan from her father.

    Akise arrives, escorting Yuki, Yuno, Mao and Kosaka to a nearby building where they manage to fend off the dogs following the instructions on Yuki's diary. Afterwards, Mao reveals herself to be in league with Hinata, taking Yuki at knifepoint. Hinata enters and takes Yuki's phone, accusing Akise of being a diary owner himself. However, Akise uses a coin toss game to outwit Hinata who tries to use Yuki's diary to predict the outcome of each coin toss. However, Akise deceives Hinata and she is forced to surrender Yuki. Akise fools Yuki into believing he has a Future Diary in order to ensure victory, but Yuno attacks him and reveals the truth. Nevertheless, Akise performs a final coin toss after conspiring with Yuno to again fool her by tricking Yuki into believing he failed at the coin toss.

    Yuno attacks Hinata to get Yuki's diary back, but Mao takes a blow for Hinata and is stabbed. Yuki, Yuno, Akise and Kosaka take the opportunity to flee. The enraged Hinata orders all of the dogs to chase them, and the goes outside with the wounded Mao where she regrets her actions, believing Tsukishima will never approve of her. Yuki returns with the intention to save Hinata after she promised that they could all leave as friends if she failed the coin toss game. Yuno charges in first, taking Hinata at knifepoint and threatening to kill her unless she surrender the Breeder Diary. Yuki manages to calm Yuno down by declaring to his friends that she is his girlfriend, allowing Hinata to be spared.

    Mirai-nikki-01-to-13-11 Kurusu shoots Tsukishima. Hinata laments for failing her father, only for Tsukishima to speak up through a radio device on a dog, who had actually been listening in the whole time. Tsukishima apologises to Hinata for mistaking Akise for a diary owner, but reveals his role in the game is over. Hinata asks about his promise, but Tsukishima apologises again and reveals it was a lie; in the anime, he openly laughs at Hinata's naivety and his own promise. Tsukishima criticises Hinata for her naivety, but tells her not to become a bad person like he became. Clutching a family photo of himself, his wife and a young Hinata, Tsukishima informs Yuki to beware of the diary owners who act nice, but can also be deceptive.

    It is revealed that Kurusu is standing behind Tsukishima, having tracked him down using his own diary. Tsukishima identifies Kurusu as one of the "nice people", and is shot in the back of the head by Kurusu, his death heard by Yuki and Hinata. Kurusu frames Yuki and Yuno for Tsukishima's death as part of his new plan to become God to save his terminally ill son. However, Masumi Nishijima eventually clears Yuki and Yuno of the charges when Minene Uryu reveals Kurusu's alliance with her.

    The Final Battle

    Tsukishima appears in the third parallel world created when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene performed a time leap two years into the past. When Tsukishima's dogs are disturbed by the explosions occurring at Sakurami Elementary School caused by the four time-travellers, he heads outside to check on his pets. However, he is surprised to find Hinata calming down the dogs. Hinata admits she has gained an attachment to the dogs, leading to a better relationship between Tsukishima and Hinata, altering their future.

    In the last chapter, Tsukishima, his wife, and Hinata are seen among the supporting characters on the streets of Sakurami City, living a better life together. In the anime, Tsukishima becomes a better parent, allowing Ouji Kosaka and Aru Akise to play with his dogs. He is last seen taking Hinata, Mao, Kousaka and Akise out

    In the second world, he is killed by one of John Bacchus' assassins with a knife. Yuki and Yuno Gasai avenged him by killing all of the attackers.

    Kurou is a young man with short brown hair that is parted on both sides and blue eyes. Personality

    For the most part, while Kurou, was a loyal husband and caring father, he was financially an extremely irresponsible man, which put him and his family at risk (this is why Rea Amano divorced him). Before visiting Yukiteru Amano at the hospital, he meets Muru Muru, confiding in her as he explains his feelings of being lost and alone. He is always on the lookout for ways to make money, and was even willing to help Ai Mikami and Marco Ikusaba break Yuki's phone because they hired him to; he wasn't aware of the survival game, however, and assumed that it was a normal phone. He is also somewhat lecherous, quickly developing an attraction towards Minene Uryu shortly after meeting her and making continuous attempts to hit on her. He is also noticeably selfish as indicated when he parachuted to safety while leaving his son behind in a collapsing building to fend for himself. Afterward, he accidentally kills Rea during a struggle and he is shown to be remorseful of his actions, telling Yuki that he did love his mother very much and wished that they could have been a family again.

    Due to the butterfly effect of events changing in the third world, Kurou and Rea never divorced meaning he was probably financially stable due to the chain of events that were altered in the third world. Trivia

    Kurou is named after Cronus, the father of Jupiter's Greek equivalent, Zeus.

    Mao Nonosaka (野々坂 まお, Nonosaka Mao) is one of Yukiteru Amano's friends at his new school who owns an apprentice diary, "Hinata Love Diary".

    Appearance

    Mao is a girl with long light purple hair and aqua blue eyes.

    Her clothing style is a sailor dress-orange top white undershirt with a long brownish-red skirt and a pale pink beret. Personality

    Mao is a very gentle, polite and perky girl who is mainly using honorifics towards most people she knows. Her best friend is Hinata Hino, whom she loves deeply and is very protective of.

    She is an open lesbian and clearly proud of her adoration of Hinata, willing to do anything for her. Hinata is well aware of Mao's affection, although she shows awkwardness when Mao expresses her more perverse adorations of her. Mao has a fascination with Hinata's breasts and expresses her desire to see them get bigger, much to Hinata's embarrassment. As a hobby, Mao often takes photographs, usually at inappropriate moments.

    Mao is devoted to Hinata and willingly to do anything to protect her, even going along with her plan to attack Yuki, Yuno Gasai and Aru Akise for the sake of Hinata's relationship with her father Karyuudo Tsukishima. She is relatively harmless, but if anyone threatens Hinata, she will display a more dangerous side and is able to use a knife. She will also throw her life on the line to protect Hinata, even if it means being stabbed by Yuno. She holds Akise and Yuki in high regards, considering them good friends, and while she still sees Kosaka as a friend, she often teases him for his self-centered ways. Diary & Abilities

    Mao's devotion to Hinata and her willingness to do anything for her is her strongest ability, being more than willing to protect and fight for Hinata. While she leaves the thinking to Akise and Hinata, Mao is willing to pitch in and help out her friends when needed, following Yuki's directions to fend off Karyuudo's attack dogs, and helps form a human stack to get Kosaka through a ventilation shaft during Yuki's kidnapping. She is also shown to have some skill with a knife.

    Her Apprentice Diary is the Hinata Love Diary, which works similar to Yuno's diary by focusing entirely on Hinata's actions. However, it has a more sexual aspect to it, complimenting Hinata on her looks and breast size, and expressing Mao's own delight at seeing Hinata get surgery down to her cleavage. As an Apprentice Diary, it is reliant on a signal from Kamado Ueshita's Server Diary to function, but Mao will not die if it is destroyed.

    As with Yuno and Yukiteru's diaries, Mao's Hinata Love Diary covers the main weakness of Hinata's Friend Diary, allowing them to form an effective team. Plot Overview

    The Tenth's Trap

    With Hinata, Mao introduces herself to Yukiteru. When Yukiteru accidentally pulls Hinata's pants down, she laughs along with the class and takes a picture. Later on, she is seen with Yukiteru, Hinata, Yuno, and Kosaka at the crime scene and park. When the group finds Hinata's supposed corpse, she seems extremely distraught. The group rushes to the observatory and follows Yukiteru's orders when he calls out his diary results.

    After Yukiteru reveals his diary's true nature, she goes to hug him in gratitude, but quickly switches, putting a knife to his neck and holding him hostage against Yuno. When Hinata is revealed and in possession of a diary, she backs her up in her arguments against Aru. When Hinata follows through in Aru's coin toss game, Mao shows great disapproval of her choices. She releases Yukiteru, after Hinata loses, and pulls out a knife. Yuno, assuming she was going for Yukiteru, charges at Hinata. Mao jabs her knife into Hinata's hand and blocks Yuno's attack, allowing herself to get stabbed by Yuno. Mao passes out in Hinata's arms as the rest of the group exits the observatory.

    Rescue Operation

    To celebrate Mao's recovery, Akise Aru suggests that they go on a vacation as he had tickets provided by a friend. She is with Hinata in a bath and Hinata discovers that Mao was taking pictures of her underwater via cellphone. After having breakfast the next day Akise reveals that he is actually looking for Yuki and the four begin their search. Akise devises where Yuno may be holding Yuki and Hinata is contacted by the latter. Hinata goes to find him telling Mao to tell the others but Mao is unsure and her suspicions are confirmed when Akise warns that it could easily be a trap. They follow Hinata and find Yuki, but this was simply a trick and the trio are locked inside a room which is slowly filling with gas.

    The Seventh's Battle of Love

    Akise Aru devised a plan to hide Yuki from 8th's apprentice diary holders, they would hide him at Kosaka's mansion and then cut off the nearby signal tower in order to stop their diaries from functioning. Yuno Gasai, however, thwarts their plan to get Yuki's attention. Akise and Kosaka split up from the others and try to shut down the tower manually meanwhile the apprentice diary holders track Mao and the others. Mao and Hinata attempt to hold them off but are both injured by Ai's throwing knives. After Ai and Marco face Yuki and Yuno, Marco and Ai rescue Mao and Hinata shortly after setting the mansion on fire.

    The Eleventh's Kingdom

    Mao, Hinata and Kosaka meet Minene Uryu and Nishijima and explain that they have all become apprentice diary holders and that Akise told them to find them, to propose an alliance. Both Minene and Kosaka flatly refuse regardless they come to terms and meet up. Mao, Hinata and Kosaka specifically are used to distract Eleventh and enter fake log entries to confuse him. However, they are unaware of his secretary's diary which ultimately leads to their capture. The guards that captured them were unwilling or rather unsure whether or not to kill them until Kosaka mentions HOLON III, which prompts the guards to execute them. Both Mao and Hinata threaten Kosaka, but they are saved by Yuno Gasai. She later split up from the trio and they are not seen again until after Eleventh is thoroughly dealt with.

    The End Begins

    With the end of the Survival Game - and thus the universe - looming nearer, Mao and her friends were recruited by Aru Akise to help protect Kamado Ueshita from Yukiteru and Yuno. She observed Akise's confrontation with Deus, learning that he was an artificial being created specifically to monitor the Survival Game from the human world, and saw him narrowly escape deletion when Kamado gave him the Detective Diary with the power of her Server Diary. When Akise returned, he brought Mao and the others into his plan to stop Yukiteru and Yuno's rampage.

    When the First and Second diary holders came searching for the Eighth, Akise engaged Yuno in battle to force Yukiteru to hunt Kamado alone. When he caught up with her, he was confronted by Mao, Kosaka, and Hinata, who called him on his actions and tried to convince him that his quest to become God was pointless - as Akise had learned, not even a god could resurrect the dead as they were in life. Yukiteru's resolve wavered, but Yuno's machinations led him to reject his friends' pleas, believing that they were trying to betray him. Consumed by panic and paranoia, he fatally shot Hinata, leaving Mao horrified and enraged. She moved to avenge her friend, only to become Yukiteru's next victim; Kosaka would soon follow after giving the First a final denouncement.

    In the manga, Akise arrives in time to see Yukiteru murder Mao and Kosaka, but chooses not to intervene in order to preserve the future predicted by his Detective Diary. In the anime, Akise arrives after all three of Yukiteru's former friends are dead, expressing regret that they had to die in order to fulfill his predicted future.

    Final Battle

    Mao was reborn when Yuno Gasai, Yukiteru Amano, Muru Muru and Minene Uryuu created a new world by leaping back in time. She is not present during the final battle, but she appears in the aftermath with Hinata Hino, Ouji Kosaka and Aru Akise. She is also seen with Karyuudo Tsukishima (Hinata's father) and appears to be friends with the third world's version of Yuno Gasai.

    Marco Ikusaba (戦場 マルコ, Ikusaba Maruko) is one of the Seventh diary owner, sharing his position with the love of his life Ai Mikami. A skilled street brawler, Marco is devoted to Ai and they work as a perfect battle couple, using the "Exchange Diary" to help one another in the survival game.

    Personality

    Marco can come across as a typical street brawler, appearing quite cocky, energetic and always ready for a fight. He is quite proud of techniques, particularly his cross chop move. Because of numerous fights he got into as a teenager, Marco is a skilled fighter, being quick on his feet and good with his fists.

    Marco is devoted to Ai, having made a vow to protect her during their high school years together. Working together, they consider their love to be perfect and unbreakable. Marco becomes particularly outraged by the actions and cowardice of Yukiteru Amano as he fails to protect his girlfriend Yuno Gasai from his and Ai's attacks, Marco willingly putting his life on the line to protect Ai. He tries to man up Yuki so he can protect Yuno, acting as a foil to Yuki and Yuno. Marco is very concerned over his appearance in his adult years, having long hair which he stylises into a curled cone shape resembling a perm or a pompadour hairstyle, and often carries a comb around with him. Diary & Abilities

    Marco and Ai share the Exchange Diary, a unique Future Diary that manifests as a pair of mobile phones. The diaries record everything about Marco and Ai, focusing on each other in a similar fashion as Yuno's "Yukiteru Diary". Destroying one diary will only erase its corresponding owner; both Marco and Ai must be killed to be considered eliminated from the Survival Game. Depending on which phone he's using, Marco can read about himself or about Ai; he prefers to read Ai's future rather than his own, allowing him to cover her and vice-versa. The main weakness of this method is that they are completely unprotected if they are separated.

    MarcoAiTeamUp Marco and Ai with their diaries. To conceal his identity as the Seventh, Marco is given The Unbeatable Brawl Diary from the Blog Diary. This Apprentice Diary predicts the moves that his opponents will make and how to counter them, especially useful for an experienced street brawler like Marco. As with all Apprentice Diaries, the Unbeatable Brawl Diary is dependent on its connection to The Eighth's diary, making it vulnerable to jamming; on the other hand, its destruction has no negative effects on Marco himself.

    Being a longtime brawler since a young age, Marco not only possess above-average physical strength, agility and reflexes, but also has a high pain threshold, evidenced by how he could fight Yuno despite being stabbed on his arm, and also uses a rather unorthodox fighting style, being able of parrying a knife with his teeth.

    He also seems skilled or at least knowledgeable in other areas, such as first aid, infiltration and using parachutes. Plot Overview

    Background

    Fourteen years ago, the orphaned Marco had been taken in at some point by Kamado Ueshita, who would become the Eighth diary owner. Whilst visiting the Sakurami observation tower, Marco met the young Ai who had been abandoned by her parents that day. Marco told Ai if she believed that day to be the worst day of her life, than the next day would be better. Marco then invited Ai to live with him and Kamado at the Mother's Village orphanage.

    MarcoAiMeet Marco and Ai meet. The anime extended their history together, showing Marco and Ai in high school. On Ai's first day in high school, she followed Marco around, who was her senior. Marco at first objected to being followed around by a first year, but he lets her, and they grow close, implying they started dating. Marco and Ai visit the Sakurami Tower, where a chapel has been built, Ai suggesting it as the perfect place to get married, and she began a diary based around Marco.

    MarcoAi2 Marco and Ai promise to protect each other. Ai found a letter apparently from Marco, inviting her to a warehouse. Three fellow students appeared, having fooled Ai into coming, and sexually assault her. Marco, realising something was not right after Ai fails to answer her phone, and races to the warehouse where he is horrified by what he sees. In a blind rage, Marco attacks Ai's assailants. One draws a knife, but Marco angrily kills the student with it. Later, Marco and Ai have gone to the tower, Marco horrified at his own actions and failure to protect Ai, and contemplates taking his own life with the knife. Ai stops him, promising to support him with his faults and fears, Marco equally vowing to protect Ai. The two then share their first kiss. However, the highschool event was a filler for the anime as in the manga no such events occurred and it was only shown that Ai and Marco bonded from their first meeting in the tower.

    The Seventh's Battle of Love

    Marco debuts in the story alongside the other diary owners who were summoned by Deus Ex Machina for the Survival Game's first meeting, presumably representing both Ai and himself to conceal the true nature of the Seventh Diary's user. When he hears of how Yukiteru slew the Third Diary owner, Takao Hiyama, he immediately targets him as a "tough opponent".

    Marco appears much later alongside Ai. After Kamado gave Ouji Kosaka an Apprentice Diary to aid him in the liberation of Yuki, kidnapped by Yuno, her assistant Orin Miyashiro sends Marco, Ai, and fellow orphan Ta-kun to intercept Yuki and Yuno. However, Yuki abandons Yuno and departs with his friends in Masumi Nishijima's car; Marco, Ai and Ta-kun pass Yuki and his friends on the highway, too late to intercept them.

    MarcoAiVsYuno Marco blocks an attack from Yuno. Marco, Ai and Ta-kun are deployed to prevent Yuki's attempt to disable a nearby communications tower controlling the local phone signals; if successful, Kamado's Blog Diary would lose its connection to the Apprentice Diaries it created. Yuki's plan falls apart when Yuno reappears to fight Marco and Ai. The couple break into Kosaka's house; Nishijima attempts to stop them, but is easily defeated thanks to Marco's fighting experience. Using their Apprentice Diaries, Marco and Ai pursue Yuki, Yuno, Hinata Hino and Mao Nonosaka through Kosaka's house, with Ai injuring the latter two with her knives. They eventually confront Yuki and Yuno in a secluded room through a trap door, unaware of the crumbling relationship between Yuki and Yuno.

    Before the Sevenths can attack, Aru Akise and Kosaka manage to disable the communications tower, leaving Marco and Ai apparently powerless. However, the two simply reveal their Exchange Diaries, proclaiming them to be "diaries of love". Marco tells Yuki that their fight is a battle between couples; the pair with the stronger love will be triumphant. Yuno persuades Yuki to release her from the ropes around her wrists and blocks Ai's throwing knives with amazing skills, inspired to fight after Yuki praises her. Stunned by this, Marco and Ai issue their "trump card" and escape through the trap door.

    Taking Hinata and Mao outside, Marco and Ai heal them just as Ta-kun sets Kosaka's house on fire. The pair head back inside to finish off Yuki and Yuno. As the house burns down around them, Yuno and Ai get into a cat fight. Ai trips over a carpet, giving Yuno an opening, only for Marco to jump in and protect Ai, getting Yuno's knife stabbed into his arm. Ai manages to disable Yuno. Yuki runs in and Marco angrily berates him for not protecting Yuno. Yuki admits he is useless but cannot change his ways, Marco angrily throwing off the side of a balcony. He steals Yuki and Yuno's phones and escapes with Ai.

    Marco and Ai reappear, Marco giving Yuno a phone call whilst she is hospitalised, requesting that she, Yuki and his father Kurou Amano come to the Sakurami Tower if they want their diaries back. Yuki, Yuno and Kurou arrive at the tower where they find Marco and Ai waiting for them, having just got married as Ai had originally planned years ago.

    Mirai Nikki - 16 - Large 30 Ai and Marco, just married. Marco quickly beats down Kurou, holding him hostage and challenging Yuki to defeat him in order to save his father, and his diary. Yuki charges at Marco, but is easily defeated. Yuno makes a move, attacking Ai and reveals the diaries on display are fakes, and Ai is hiding their real diaries in her bouquet. Part of the tower suddenly explodes, Ta-kun contacting Marco and Ai through the tower's soundspeakers and telling them he is destroying the tower as per a time limit he put on their operation, leaving his former comrades to their own ends. Marco and Ai race to the elevator, taking Kurou with them.

    In the elevator, the two recall their promise to marry one another, Marco vowing to prove that their love is real compared to that of Yuki and Yuno. Upon entering the top floor where they first met, Marco and Ai are surprised to find Yuno alone waiting for them. Yuki speaks through the loudspeakers, claiming he is too afraid to fight and will be helping Yuno from afar. Enraged by yet another display of cowardice, Marco fights his way past Yuno and races to the control room to confront Yuki whilst Ai pins the Second. When he reaches the control room, he finds no sign of Yuki; the First had tricked him in order to draw him away from Ai. Running back to the observation floor, Marco arrives in time to see Yuki throwing a dart at Ai, hoping to take out her Exchange Diary. At Marco's shout, Ai dodges the dart by inches, but the movement allows Yuno to free herself and slash the female Seventh's throat with a knife.

    MarcoAi Marco and Ai die together. Distraught, Marco races to save Ai just as the roof caves in, ignoring Kurou as he escapes the tower with one of Marco and Ai's parachutes. Yuki, Yuno and the dying Ai survive but become trapped under rubble. Marco, unwilling to leave Ai behind, uses a metal pole to dig out his beloved, inspiring Yuki to help him after chastising him for being a coward. Marco manages to lift the rubble covering Yuki, Yuno and Ai partway, revealing a piece of shrapnel has impaled him through the abdomen, Marco apologising to Ai that he got carried away.

    Yuki convinces Yuno to help him lift the rubble, and they help Ai out of the rubble only to find she has already died from blood loss. Cradling Ai in his arms, Marco tosses his last parachute to Yuki so he and Yuno can escape the tower. Instructing Yuki not to look down at him with sympathetic eyes, Marco shoos Yuki and Yuno away, who depart the tower in the parachute.

    Seeing a Dead End appear in his diary, Marco concludes that his and Ai's dream of becoming gods and eternal lovers was not going to happen; instead, he wonders if this moment between them is eternal. He realizes he came to Ai's rescue too late again and embraces her body as the tower collapses, killing him and properly eliminating the Seventh Diary from the Survival Game.

    The Final Battle

    In the third parallel world created when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene Uryu perform a time leap two years back in time, Marco and Ai are seen at the Mother's Village orphanage. They witness the explosions and events occurring at Sakurami Elementary School between Muru Muru and Minene, Kamado receiving an unexpected phone call from the mayor John Bacchus regarding the future of her orphanage, asking for her help in the future.

    Two years later, Marco and Ai are shown to have married and Ai is now pregnant, happy together among the many residents of Sakurami City. In the anime, Marco chats with a pregnant Ai in a cafe, Ai telling him he must work harder in the future.

    Future Diary: Paradox

    In Future Diary: Paradox, Aru Akise and Muru Muru are standing in for Yuki and Yuno after Muru Muru accidentally killed Yuno and Yuki is wounded by Hiyama. After Akise altered the events at the Omekata temple, Muru Muru vowed to rewind time after Yuki is healed to ensure the game runs properly. Akise races to stop her, aided by Marco, Ai, Orin, Reisuke Houjou and Tsubaki Kasugano. Marco personally fights Muru Muru whilst Tsubaki leads Akise to the entrance to Muru Muru's record hall, although Muru Muru ends up succeeding and reverses time.

    Nishijima is an honest and friendly police officer, starting off as a rookie but quickly elevated his way to the position of chief investigator in the Sakurami City Police Department, working under Keigo Kurusu in only two years. In the anime, he is shown to be investigating the murders of Takao Hiyama. During the protection of Cardinal Fred Haiman, Nishijima served as head of security. Nishijima is a romantic officer, believing getting married to be a wonderful thing. He is shown to have a crush on fellow officer Natsuko Ooshima, considering the possibility of dating her, but is heartbroken upon learning she was murdered by Minene Uryu. During the survival game, Nishijima at first remains oblivious to the survival game until learning of the goings on from Minene, and becomes an ally to Yukiteru Amano and Aru Akise.

    He develops a unique alliance with Minene and eventually falls in love with her through their seemingly fateful encounters. He attempts to help her find a better life, proposing to her and casually manipulates her into agreeing to marry him and start a family, despite her reluctance to do so. However, he eventually succeeds in altering Minene's personality and outlook on life, which caused her to quit being a terrorist. Nishijima's love for her may have adapted from the feelings he presented to her when she was disguised as Natsuko. He is one of the few characters who does not receive a Future Diary or an Apprentice Diary during the story. Plot Overview

    His first name, Ma (真) means "true" and "honest", sumi (澄) means "pure". His surname, Nishi (西) means "west", jima (島) means "island". Nishijima's character theme song, shared with Minene, is "Crazy For You" by NIRGILIS. It is unclear if Nishijima is aware that his children have godlike powers.

    Behind the Scenes

    Moe was seen in a flashback of Yuno Gasai after the defeat of the Seventh Duo Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami.

    Yuno remembers that, following the death of her parents Saika Gasai and Ushio Gasai, she rejects a love declaration of a fellow student, thinking to herself that only Yukiteru is good enough for her.

    At that time, the class teacher addresses the need to shop for goods needed at school, and names Yuki and Yuno for the task, but after remembering that Yuno is under a strict curfew by her parents (which at the time did not exist given the death of her parents, though their death was never known to the public), Moe Wakaba is chosen, whom Yuno noticed Yuki has feelings for because of a love letter he had written for her.

    The two go shopping at a mall, with Yuno in pursuit disguised in a bunny suit. Yuki tries to confess to Wakaba, but Yuno rushes suddenly and interrupts the two before the confession is possible. As they buy goods, Yuki attempts to purchase drinks from a vending machine to build up the atmosphere for his confession, but Yuno sabotages the vending machine and uses all the money Yuki had put on the machine to buy a massive amount of sour drinks. Yuki tries to go to the toilet and confess later, but Yuno blocks the entrance, angering Yuki as he does not understand what she wants. When Yuki drops the letter Yuno tries to catch it but Yuki is faster. Realizing what the person in the bunny suit wanted, Yuki tries to escape and, much to his luck, Yuno is stopped by the security guards at the mall.

    Yuki manages to give her the letter and confess to her; however, Wakaba politely declines his offer, much to Yuno's relief.

    The Final Battle

    Wakaba appears in the Third World, after Yuno traps Yuki in an illusion world in which Yuno does not exist, and Yuki can have anything he wants. Wakaba appears as the girl Yuki wants, but Yuki denies her (in the anime she even undresses to seduce him).

    After the Survival Game concludes, the Yukiteru of the Third World is seen happily with his parents (who are not divorced) and Wakaba, suggesting that along with the changes to the future, the two managed to form a better and closer relationship, as such both are seen holding hands and smiling at one another.

    Muru Muru (also known as "Mur Mur" in the English Version) is a character in Future Diary. She is the assistant of Deus Ex Machina, helping him prepare and judge the Survival Game. For most of the story, her role is minor, conversing with Deus as the game progresses and being relegated to comic relief in the side stories.

    In the later chapters, Muru Muru reveals herself as the main antagonist of the story, plotting behind Deus' back to manipulate the events of the game for her own personal amusement. She also appears as the main antagonist in Future Diary: Paradox.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    00:00

    41:20

    Muru Muru appears as a diminutive human girl with dark skin, purple eyes, and lavender hair almost as long as her entire body. She has faint red circles on her cheeks (similar to Kamado Ueshita) and a small dot on her forehead.

    Her usual outfit includes a pink turtleneck vest, white briefs, a large white bow with purple spots used to tie back her braids, blue shoes. She also wears a pair of strange white leggings that flare out dramatically on the top, making her legs look much larger than they actually are. She accessorizes her look with a golden trumpet tied to her waist and a pair of simple silver bracelets on her wrists; the latter serve as limiters to prevent her from using her full power.

    After Deus's demise, Muru Muru changes her vest's color to light blue and extends her leggings into full pants. She dons a tattered black cape, wears a smaller version of Deus's crown, and replaces the dot on her forehead with an X-shaped white bandage that covers a large number "1" (referring to the world she hails from). ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Muru Muru Ruler Muru Muru after taking over from Deus Correlating with her appearance, Muru Muru is a childish individual who is primarily concerned with her own amusement, seeing the Survival Game as a, particularly entertaining diversion. Quite mischievous, she often disguises herself as other people (and is actually mistaken to be the real one, despite her complete lack of a true disguise) to sneak in places for seemingly no reason at all. She's also known to be an avid manga reader; it is suggested she reads mostly shoujo manga.

    Despite these peculiar quirks, Muru Muru has shown herself to be a manipulative, cunning, and sneaky individual. She plots behind Deus's back and uses the other participants in the way she sees fit to make the game more fun for her, ultimately revealing that she has little to no loyalty towards Deus. She also seems to belittle humans, or at the very least non-participants, believing the likes of Aru Akise to be unfit to enter the Cathedral of Causality and expressing homophobic remarks towards him - however, this might be due to his role as Deus's Observer conflicting with her own goals.

    Much of Muru Muru's behavior can be explained by the being seen through most of the series is from the first world, and thereby be bound to a different god; it is unclear if the other versions of Muru Muru would develop similar tendencies if the Survival Game was allowed to proceed as planned. Relationships

    Deus (and successors)

    Although Muru Muru is loyal to the god she is currently serving, she has no qualms about manipulating other deities for her own god's benefit. One such example of this is when the first Muru Muru tricked the second Deus and altered the course of the Survival Game to favor Yuno. In the post-credits scene of Episode 19, however, she is seen at Mother's Orphanage with Orin Miyashiro, who asks her about her parents. Muru Muru is then shown to think of Deus at this and the two continue discussing Muru Muru's "parent", with very different images in mind.

    Some of the other bonus segments imply a parent-child relationship between Muru Muru and Deus, with Muru Muru attempting to make snacks for Deus and Deus tucking Muru Muru into bed after she tires herself out. However, some of this can be attributed to Deus being unaware that "his" Muru Muru is actually an impostor from the first world.

    Despite her loyalty, Muru Muru isn't above trying to influence her god for her own amusement. Her first-world self was responsible for giving Yuno Gasai the idea of traveling to another world and repeating the Survival Game. Her second-world self would repeatedly prodded Yukiteru to try out his god powers rather than mope in the void that used to be existence.

    Aru Akise

    Murumururmuru Muru Muru is not as innocent as she seems. Muru Muru has a mutually antagonistic relationship with Deus's Observer, best seen throughout Future Diary: Paradox. It is implied that this is due to Muru Muru being from the first world, with Akise actively working to counter her schemes; this is supported by how the third world's Muru Muru seemed to openly welcome Akise and told him to continue his hard work.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Abilities

    Being Deus' servant, Muru Muru has several superhuman abilities of her own. She can teleport herself as she pleases, even going from the Cathedral of Causality to the real world with a simple thought; additionally, she can teleport with enough speed to evade an attack from Deus, as well as bring others along for the ride. She also has the ability to manipulate time, freely traveling to the past, showing events of another timeline in a cinematic fashion. She could even revive the dead (something beyond Deus's capabilities) by rewinding their personal timelines to the time before their demise.

    Mirai Nikki - 25 - Large 32 Muru Muru with her seals released Muru Muru is a capable fighter, being able to manipulate a large orb to easily smash debris or even trap people in an illusion world, as well as stop a bullet with her bare hands. In the anime, Muru Muru shows several extra powers, including summoning black-colored projectiles which can take the form of different objects, manipulating shadows, firing an energy blast from the trumpet she carries on her person, and forming explosives that are stronger than those of Minene Uryu. She appears to be able to manipulate the environment of the Archives, with her third-world self gathering shards of metal from the walls and floor to form a mecha in her own image. She is also capable of manipulating memories, either removing or implanting them at will; the latter is apparently a much longer process.

    Despite all of this, Muru Muru's power is restrained by the bracelets on her wrists. If her god allows it, she can break her restraints and become a bigger, monstrous version of herself with much more destructive abilities. While it is only glimpsed in the manga, Muru Muru's true form in the anime turned her skin a murky grey and gives her red eyes and fangs. In this form, she can attack at near-supersonic speeds and fight with rabid, violent strikes that prove enough to beat down Minene when she has a portion of Deus' powers. However, it is implied that this transformation expends a significant portion of Muru Muru's energy, as her restrained second-world self easily defeated her unrestrained first-world self at the end of the final battle.

    It is suggested that Muru Muru's powers may rival or are close to those of Deus himself, as Deus does not act directly against her even when he knows that she's plotting against him; instead, he resorts to mostly restraining her rather than attempting to destroy her. However, the true gap between Muru Muru and Deus is unclear due to the latter's failing health. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot Overview

    The First World

    Muru Muru assisted Deus in the first Survival Game, with a pair of sealing braces put on her wrists to prevent her from using the full extent of her powers. However, Muru Muru became enthralled with the fun she could get out of the Survival Game and eventually sided with Yuno Gasai when she became God after Deus' death. Seeing Yuno's distress after her failure to resurrect Yukiteru Amano, Muru Muru gave the former Second the idea to leap back in time to be with Yuki. However, upon doing this, Yuno and Muru Muru discovered they had ended up in a parallel world one year into the past, where a second Yuno existed and the Survival Game was soon to begin anew.

    The first world was implied to have been obliterated once Yuno traveled back in time.

    The Second World

    Unwilling to let someone else be with Yukiteru, even her own other self, Yuno ventured into her second-world house and slaughtered her counterpart with an axe. While Yuno is clearly shaken by murdering her other self, Muru Muru enters with the second Yuno's phone, giving to the first in preparation for the second Survival Game. She tries to encourage Yuno to become God once again, but Yuno admits she does not care about winning the game, only wanting to be with Yukiteru. When Muru Muru asks what will she do when only she and Yukiteru are left alive, Yuno gave her a cryptic smile.

    At some point, Muru Muru encounters her own second self and imprisons her within Yuno's illusion space to replace her unnoticed by Deus. Both Deus and Muru Muru pose as Yuki's imaginary friends until the start of the second Survival Game; Yukiteru's first hint to their true nature comes when he notices Yuno sculpting a small clay figure in Muru Muru's likeness.

    When Yukiteru opened a certain door in Yuno's house, he changed the future drastically enough to shake the Cathedral of Causality. While Deus regarded this turn of events as a pleasant surprise, Muru Muru flew into a panic, worrying that the space-time continuum would collapse after such a dramatic shift to the timeline. Fortunately, Muru Muru's fears were unfounded, allowing the Survival Game to continue.

    During Karyuudo's attempt to kill Yukiteru, Yuno, and Aru with the help of his Attack Dogs and Hinata, Muru Muru alerted Kurusu to his son's terminal illness. This drove the Fourth to take action and betray his allies well ahead of when Deus expected him to; the God of Time and Space quickly realized that Muru Muru had done that deliberately. Dodging her "master's" attempt to crush her, Muru Muru freely admitted to her actions, explaining that she wanted to speed up the game and find a successor before Deus's demise. She then challenged Deus to a wager on who would win the Survival Game, placing her bet on Yuno while Deus chose Yukiteru.

    As the Survival Game went on, Deus began to suspect that Muru Muru was attempting to steer the Survival Game in Yuno's favor, eventually deducing her true nature as a refugee of the first world and a servant of the similarly-displaced Yuno. He accordingly took measures to prevent further interference, notably turning Minene into a sleeper agent for his will by granting her a portion of his power and awareness of the existence of alternate worlds.

    When Deus's body finally collapses a few days before the end of the game, Muru Muru collects his core and proclaims herself the interim god of the dying second world. She intervenes when Yuno tries to kill Yukiteru following his discovery of her true origins, confirming the late Akise's deductions before taking him into the past to show him the events of the first world. She then attempts to finish Yukiteru off for Yuno, only to be defied by Minene, wielding Deus's power specifically to stop her meddling. While Muru Muru is able to overcome Minene when Yuno allows her to break her seal, she is unable to prevent Yukiteru from following Yuno back in time, where he enacts changes that effectively negate the Survival Game before it even begins.

    Yuno eventually attempts to stop Yukiteru's interference by trapping him in the same illusion world that Muru Muru sealed her second-world self in; as a result, the second Muru Muru escapes her prison when Yukiteru rejects the illusion and breaks out. She quickly disables the first Muru Muru and retakes Deus's core before intercepting a bullet sent by Keigo at the first world's Yuno, allowing her to embrace Yukiteru. After Yuno stabs herself, Muru Muru grabs a distraught Yukiteru and abruptly takes him back to the second world, where she granted him Deus's core and officially named him the God of Time and Space.

    Unfortunately for Muru Muru, Yukiteru was utterly broken by Yuno's suicide and refused to do anything but mourn. For ten thousand years, they floated in the void, with Muru Muru forced to read a rotting manga book over and over as she tried to get her new god to act. Her efforts were in vain, as Yukiteru simply continued staring at his diary's final entry...until one day, it changed from "Yuno stabbed herself" to "Yuno came to see me".

    The Third World

    Following her defeat by the second Muru Muru, the first world's Muru Muru was imprisoned by her third world self; however, she was able to preserve "her" Yuno's memories by consuming her body. Using a keychain in her own image, she establishes contact with the third world's Yuno, directing her to Deus's Archives in order to meet with her. The third world's Muru Muru attempts to stop Yuno's advance, but Minene occupies her long enough for the latter to break into the sphere holding the first Muru Muru's cage. By the time Yuno reunites with her old friend, Muru Muru has taken on several of Yuno's physical traits, including her signature pink hair.

    Fearing the consequences of this meeting, the third Muru Muru pursues Yuno, but the third world's Deus orders her to stand down. Observing the first Muru Muru's tearful "reunion" with Yuno, Deus concludes that absorbing Yuno's memories forced Muru Muru to come to terms with Yuno's suffering and her own sins, driving her to seek redemption. After absorbing her first-world self's memories, Yuno frees Muru Muru, who helps her break into the empty second world to meet with the second Yukiteru and his own servant. With Yuno becoming a goddess with Deus's blessing, all three Muru Murus joined her and Yukiteru as the latter two began creating a new world; they were implied to have lived through four more timelines, gaining four more versions of Muru Muru in the process.

    Future Diary: Paradox

    In an alternate twist of events, before the second Survival Game is due to start, Muru Muru is absentmindedly making mochi in the Cathedral of Causality when she ends up smashing a hole in the causality itself. Investigating the damage, Muru Muru discovers that she has erased Yuno from existence; shortly afterward, Deus notices the Second's absence as he declares the start of the Survival Game. A panicking Muru Muru decides to take Yuno's place in the game until she can fix the damage to the timeline.

    On the second day of the game, Yuki is thrilled to have his diary but is shocked when he sees Muru Muru dressed as Yuno, trying to copy Yuno's stalker-like actions. Muru Muru begins to make mochi in class and is promptly sent outside by the teacher. It turns out Muru Muru is trying to make a stick of mochi in order to capture Yukiteru so he is not murdered by Takao. Muru Muru approaches Yukiteru, imitating Yuno, and chases him with her mochi stick to capture him. As Muru Muru chases Yuki, Hiyama joins the chase with the goal of killing Yuki, the chase leads to the office building where Hiyama is meant to be eliminated. Muru Muru trips and ends up getting stuck in the mochi; by the time she frees herself and flies up to the fourteenth floor, Yukiteru has already been stabbed by Hiyama. As Hiyama goes to break Yuki's diary, Aru appears with Muru Muru, immediately falling in love with Yukiteru.

    After Akise tricks Hiyama into killing himself, Muru Muru places Yukiteru in a special bed which will heal his injuries and fix the new hole in causality. Painfully aware that the timeline is at risk of being completely derailed, Muru Muru tells Akise that he'll need to play the part of Yukiteru until they can properly repair the damage she caused. To do so, she gives Yukiteru's phone to Akise, attaching a small Yukiteru doll to it by a keychain to allow Akise to use the Random Diary.

    Attack of the Ninth

    During Minene's attack on Sakurami Elementary School, Akise and Muru Muru must perform Yuki and Yuno's actions to defeat the terrorist. Muru Muru puts on a pair of rocket-accelerated rollerskates and pulls out a syringe designed to subdue Minene. Akise and Muru Muru navigate their way through the school building as it slowly explodes, but Akise keeps going in different directions and Muru Muru continues to be caught in explosions. It is revealed in a flashback that Akise told Muru Muru he wanted Yuki to become God, considering to stand in for him for the whole game until he wins by default. Muru Muru recovers from another explosion but discovers her syringe has shattered. Akise and Muru Muru step outside to confront Minene, Akise revealing he has placed one of Minene's timed bombs in Muru Muru's backpack and sends her flying through the minefield towards Minene. Muru Muru shouts at Minene to turn off the bombs, but Keigo Kurusu appears, shooting bullets at Minene.

    Muru Muru flies towards Minene as the bomb's timer hits zero. Muru Muru braces herself for the detonation, but no explosion comes. Opening her eyes, Muru Muru spots Minene fleeing on a motorbike. Akise comes over and reveals he removed the bomb's gunpowder, and everything was a bluff. Muru Muru is astonished that she was tricked, and begins to ponder whether or not she can truly trust Akise or not.

    The Cult of the Sixth

    A few weeks later, Muru Muru, Akise, and Kurusu are summoned to Tsubaki Kasugano's Omekata temple to remove the captured Minene. Muru Muru warns Akise not to interfere with the predicted timeline. Muru Muru points out Funatsu and explains the true sins of the religion. Muru Muru skips off to get food, prompting Akise to change the future for Tsubaki, the Fifth diary owner Reisuke Houjou, Orin Miyashiro and Seventh diary owner Ai Mikami. Akise approaches Ai and Orin, convincing them to help him rescue Tsubaki from her predicted Dead End and her fate.

    Approaching Tsubaki with the proposal of "elopement", Akise manages to spirit Tsubaki away from her followers and Funatsu. Akise tries to flee the temple with Tsubaki, but is spotted by Muru Muru who is having lunch with Kurusu. Funatsu confronts Akise, but Akise makes his escape thanks to an explosion caused by Orin and Ai. Muru Muru appears, warning Akise to stop altering the future. Akise ignores her and escapes with Tsubaki in the car of Reisuke's parents. Realising Akise has completely altered the future by rescuing Tsubaki, befriending Reisuke, etc., and concludes she must remove Akise's influence before it is too late.

    Muru Muru takes Funatsu prisoner with help from Yomotsu Hirasaka in order to put an end to Akise and Tsubaki's alterations. Muru Muru gloats about her plan to have Tsubaki eliminated by her own hypnotized followers, plotting to kill Yomotsu afterward. She fails to notice Yomotsu receiving a new entry on his Justice Diary. Akise and Tsubaki are captured by the followers and brought before Muru Muru and Funatsu. Tsubaki goads Funatsu into confessing that he murdered her parents, just as Reisuke turns on the temple's sound system, so that all the followers can hear him, Yomotsu ending the hypnotism after finding Reisuke and learning of the situation. Muru Muru is so enraged by Akise's deception once again that she blasts a hole in the nearby roof and flies off, promising to get Akise back.

    In another flashback, it is revealed that Muru Muru uses a giant robot named Mecha-Muru Muru to transplant her memories onto reality, which will fix the hole in the causality. In the present, with only an hour to go until Yuki is healed, Muru Muru is confident that her victory is assured. Akise suddenly charges through the Cathedral of Causality on an elephant, planning to find out Muru Muru's true goal by looking in the memory bank of Mecha-Muru Muru. Noting how Muru Muru knew how the survival game would develop, Akise makes his way towards Mecha-Muru Muru, only for Hiyama to appear, Muru Muru revealing she resurrected him to ensure that the survival game can start anew correctly. Akise lands on Mecha-Muru Muru's head, only to find a brainwashed Yuki waiting for him, armed with a knife. Yuki stabs Akise with the knife, designed by Muru Muru to erase Akise's memories. As Akise despairs, he is helped up by Tsubaki, discovering she, Reisuke, Orin, Ai, and Marco Ikusaba have come to help him.

    Marco gets into a fight with Muru Muru, whilst Reisuke fights Yuki. Tsubaki accompanies Akise to the memory bank entrance, convincing him to go through the entrance door. In Muru Muru's memories, Akise finds himself in Yuno's house. Hearing Muru Muru speaking to Yuno, Akise peeks through a door to the room where Yuno's parents died, discovering Muru Muru giving Yuno her second Future Diary whilst the second Yuno lies dead on the floor. It is at this point that Muru Muru fixes the hole she made and the events of Paradox are erased from existence

    Overview Image Gallery

    Orin Miyashiro (宮代 お鈴, Miyashiro Orin) is a minor character in the Future Diary series. She is an assistant to the Eighth Diary Holder, Kamado Ueshita, and owns the Apprentice Diary, "The Orphan Diary".

    Appearance

    Orin is a young girl with long brown hair and brown eyes. Her most notable feature is how her hair is styled into thick, rectangular strands around her bangs and face. Diary and Abilities

    Orin uses the Orphan Diary, an Apprentice Diary granted to her by Kamado's Blog Diary. Its capabilities are unknown; judging by the name and her role as Kamado's assistant, it presumably predicts the future of Kamado's orphans in some form. As an Apprentice Diary, its destruction has no effect on Orin herself; however, it also becomes useless if the signal between it and the Blog Diary is lost. History

    It is not known if Orin's parents are dead, or abandoned her when she was very young, but she eventually found herself at the Mother's Village orphanage run by Kamado Ueshita. In the present, she assists Kamado with the orphanage's operations. Cult Of The Sixth

    When the Survival Game commenced, Orin infiltrated the Omekata Temple along with one half of the Seventh, Ai Mikami, to gather information about the other diary holders. She observed the subsequent battles from the background before quietly returning to the orphanage in the confusion following Tsubaki Kasugano's death.

    The Eleventh's Kingdom

    After Kamado made an alliance with Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai, Orin, Ta-kun and around twenty other orphans ambush the Eleventh John Bacchus on a mountain road. However, John disables their Apprentice Diaries with a signal jammer in his car, removing any advantage that Orin and the orphans had. Orin tells Yuno to destroy the jammer, but Yukiteru chooses that moment to betray their alliance, shooting several orphans with a pistol in order to make Kamado vulnerable. Orin barely has time to process the gunshots before Yuno rushes at her and beheads her with a sword.

    Third World

    Orin was reborn when Yuno, Yukiteru, Minene Uryuu, and Muru Muru leapt back in time and created an alternate universe. In the anime, she is shown standing with Ta-kun outside the orphanage, both wearing expressions of displeasure as Kamado walks away arm-in-arm with John Bacchus, apparently going on a romantic date.

    Etymology

    The name Orin means "bell" (鈴) (rin). Orin might be just "Rin" as Japanese people usually ad the prefix "O" (お) before somebody's name to show their respect. Orin's surname Miyashiro means "temple, shrine, palace" (宮) (miya) and "generation" (代) (shiro).

    Ouji Kosaka (高坂 王子, Kōsaka Ōji) is a classmate of Yukiteru Amano who bullied and teased him in the past, but later becomes his friend during the Survival Game. He owns the apprentice diary, known as the "Kosaka King Diary".

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality

    00:01

    41:20

    Kosaka is a member of Sakurami Elementary School's track team and is shown to be an athletic boy. He likes to tease Yukiteru Amano, but does not outright bully him, due to Yuki's detached and easily submissive attitude. Kosaka is shown to be very self-centered, cocky, arrogant and obnoxious, willing to sell Yuki out to Minene Uryu during her attack on the school. Kosaka has a strong sense of pride and often praises his own efforts, and has quite the ego, even going as far as naming his diary as the "King Kosaka Diary", which becomes his Apprentice Diary. Upon meeting Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka, and Aru Akise, as well as Yuki again, Kosaka shows a more considerate and helpful side. He continues to be very self-centered although he realises his faults during his confrontation with Yuno Gasai whilst trying to save Yuki and Hinata, showing more concern for his friends and updates his diary to the "Neo King Kosaka Diary", now complimenting his own achievements and those of his friends. Kosaka is cautious and usually the most open and objective to the survival game.

    Kosaka gets on best with Akise, often accompanying him on missions due to his athletic skills. He gets on quite well with Hinata and Mao, often bantering with them, although his objections and sarcasm often get remarks from Hinata and Mao. Mao often physically hits Kosaka, punching him to the ground in Double Holder. Kosaka relationship with Yuki is strained at best, going from good to bad. Kosaka often calls Yuki out, particularly on his relationship with Yuno and ultimately describes him as pathetic and has no right to cry after some of the more horrific actions he commits. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot

    Attack of the Ninth

    Kosaka first appears in the first episode, where he tries to start a conversation with Yukiteru in class, only for Yuki to rebuff him.

    When the terrorist Minene Uryu attacks Sakurami Middle School, she ordered the students and the faculty to hand over Yukiteru, or else she would detonate the bombs planted throughout the school grounds. A desperate Yuki seeks help from Kosaka, who betrays him and hands him and his Future Diary over to Minene.

    After Minene's attack, Kosaka and the rest of the students are relocated to Umesato Middle School. Kosaka verbally abuses a cowardly Yukiteru loudly to allow the whole class to hear about Yuki's stupidity. However, Hinata Hino and Mao Nonosaka come to Yuki's defence, Hinata whacking Kosaka on the head with a booklet. Kosaka later joins Hinata, Mao, Yuki and a reluctant Yuno when they explore a crime scene and play together in the park. When Hinata goes ahead and is supposedly killed by a group of vicious dogs that were responsible for the recent serial killings across Sakurami City, Aru Akise appears on the scene and guides Kosaka and the others to safety inside a nearby observation deck.

    Inside, Akise explains that he had been investigating Yukiteru after he realized all the recent incidents (the fights with the other Diary owners) were somehow all related to Yuki. However, the group of dogs surround the building and begin pounding the windows to get in. While Yuno suggests escaping with Yuki while using the others as bait for the dogs, Yuki defends his new-found friends by revealing himself as a Diary owner who can read the future. Kosaka is immediately skeptical and initially refuses to follow Yukiteru's instructions regarding which window to block to stop the dogs from entering, but he eventually helps Mao and Akise as the instructions appear to succeed in hindering the advancing dogs. At this moment, Kosaka and the others congratulate Yuki before Mao withdraws a knife and presses it to Yuki's throat. Kosaka watches in disbelief as an unharmed Hinata reappears through the door, revealing herself to be the owner of her father's Breeder Diary and faking her death to secure an opportunity to kill Akise, who had been targeting her father for the recent serial killings.

    Kosaka watches from the sidelines as Akise engages Hinata in a coin-toss guessing game where a player must guess the hand in which a tossed coin lands. Despite Hinata having a definite advantage by holding Yukiteru's Indifference Diary, which told her the supposed correct answer for every attempt, Akise outwits Hinata on multiple occasions to win the game, securing their release. However, Yuno attacks Mao after she threatened to stab Yuki's diary, leading to Mao getting severely injured. Akise, Kosaka, Yuki and Yuno flee, while a distressed Hinata calls all the dogs to give chase, blaming them for harming her friend. Akise and Kosaka lure the dogs away while Yuki returns to the observation deck with Yuno in tow, seeking to make peace. Nonetheless, Yuno holds Hinata at knife-point and orders her to call off the dogs, at the same time threatening her life for taking Yuki from her. Kosaka and Akise return unharmed just as Yukiteru boldly declares Yuno to be his girlfriend, which he did reluctantly because he still wished to be friends with Hinata and Mao.

    Rea is a young woman with waist-length brown hair that has bangs hanging over her forehead, blue eyes and small square-rimmed red glasses. Personality

    Rea is a very kind and caring mother whose cooking skills are admirable and her criticism on other's cooking is noticeable, as stated by Yukiteru Amano himself.

    Although very caring, she is still very absent during Yukiteru's upbringing, such as when she simply ignores that the police has been searching for Yukiteru and Yuno Gasai, believing that the best thing to do would be to let them handle it on their own.

    She is also very easy-going, going as far to encourage Yuno and Yukiteru to sleep in the same room knowing full well what could happen. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    It is later revealed that the reason why Rea divorced Kurou Amano was that he was pretty bad at handling money and therefore had obtained a huge debt. Plot Overview

    Behind the Scenes

    The Fifth's Game

    Following the dissolution of the Omekata cult, Rea took in Reisuke Houjou, the son of two of the cult's members. She cheerfully introduced Reisuke to Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai the next time they came by, explaining that he would be staying with them until he could be put up for adoption. Unbeknownst to Rea, Reisuke was the Fifth Diary Holder, who was deliberately boarding at her house in order to kill Yukiteru and Yuno as part of the Survival Game.

    Rea spent a lot of time with Reisuke over the next day, letting him help her prepare lunch, playing video games with him, and even letting him sleep in her room. This served to deter Yuno from simply killing the Fifth, as Yukiteru didn't want to endanger or traumatize his mother. Eventually, however, Yuno became impatient and tried to kill Reisuke with a hammer, accidentally hitting Rea in the process. The blow knocked her out cold, forcing Yukiteru and Yuno to take her to her bed to rest.

    Shortly afterwards, Reisuke launched his plan to kill the other Diary Holders by sealing off the house and filling it with poison gas. Yukiteru worried for his unconscious mother's safety, but Reisuke explained that he had made sure to take Rea outside before he released the gas, unwilling to harm an innocent woman who had been so nice to him. Rea would not regain consciousness until after Yuno killed Reisuke and her house was cleared of the toxic vapors; it is unknown how she reacted to the signs of carnage in her home, but Keigo Kurusu presumably told her a cover story to preserve the secrecy of the Survival Game.

    Behind the Scenes

    The Seventh's Battle of Love

    Etymology

    The name Rea means "salute, bow, ceremony, thanks, remuneration" (礼) (re) and "second, Asia" (亜) (a). Rea is named after Rhea, the mother of Jupiter's Greek equivalent, Zeus. Rea's surname Amano means "heaven, sky" (天) (ama) and "field, wilderness" (野) (no)

    41:20

    Ryuji is seen accompanying John Bacchus whenever he is in his office. Ryuji assists John in connecting Kamado Ueshita's Server Diary to the HOLON III network, giving every citizen in Sakurami City an Apprentice Diary.

    When Minene Uryu, Masumi Nishijima, Hinata Hino, Mao Nonosaka and Ouji Kosaka infiltrate the Quad Towers where John and his two HOLON III terminals are located, John attempts to predict their Diaries with his own "The Watcher" diary. However, the five of them trick John's diary by writing in their own false entries, eluding John's security forces that were sent to capture them.

    Ryuji proves himself to be handy at this moment. By using his "Secretary Diary", he can predict John's future actions regardless of the false entries. With this method, John eventually locates and traps Hinata, Mao and Kosaka, while other security forces ambush and kill Nishijima, with Minene losing a hand due to a claymore planted in advance.

    Ryuji accompanies John into the Gasai Safe, a high-security safe in the building. He is later shot by John for unwittingly giving away the keycode to the vault they were locked in, after Yukiteru Amano tricks his own diary to reveal his future capture and interrogation of Ryuji, which allowed Yuki to gain the keycode for the first door of the safe. In the anime, he is shot by Minene and dies from blood loss. He is seen alive again in the third world.

    Keys: Saika Gasai

    Saika Gasai (我妻 西果, Gasai Saika) is the adoptive mother of Yuno Gasai and the wife of Ushio Gasai. A minor character with major relevance, she serves as the direct cause of Yuno's descent into insanity.

    ADVERTISEMENT Personality And Appearance

    1/2

    Saika was a woman with long brown hair, and orange eyes, wearing a dark green sleeveless dress. It is believed that Saika has bipolar disorder.

    Although only seen briefly, Saika was a very strict and abusive mother towards Yuno. She felt lonely and neglected by her busy husband, and she took her frustrations out on Yuno by punishing harshly, locking her in a cage, feeding her little to no food, and calling her a bad daughter. In the anime, Saika is seen to psychologically torture Yuno and then suddenly burst into tears and ask for forgiveness.

    Yuno drugged her and Ushio Gasai locked them in the same cage. Yuno believed that her mother would change if she suffered the same pain she had. At this moment Saika became much more hostile and maniacal, calling Yuno a devil and telling her she curses the day she was born.

    During the end of the series, Saika in the Third World proves nonetheless to be a loving mother and wife who would put her own life on the line to save her family. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot Overview

    Behind the Scenes

    Mirai Nikki - 24 - Large Omake 03 A depressed Saika It is known that years before the series timeline, Saika and Ushio decided to adopt Yuno. It is unclear whether Saika could not have children or suffered a miscarriage. Although initially a loving mother according to Yuno, she changed over time as she felt neglected by her husband who spent less and less time with his family as a result of his busy schedule. Saika would take her frustrations onto Yuno with a strict curfew and locking her up in a cage and feeding her little to no food at all as punishment. The anime, in particular, gives evidence that Saika highly regulated Yuno's life. She may have locked Yuno in the cage even if she obeyed, since she would call Yuno a bad daughter and measure the number of times she "talked back" as part of her regulations and punishment. Yuno endured this abuse for years knowing that her mother was suffering, but eventually, she snapped and locked her parents in the same cage, with the same treatment, thinking the same treatment she suffered would make them loving parents again. This did not work, and her parents died from dehydration.

    Though dead, she becomes as a major part of the series since Second World Yukiteru Amano sees her remains when he chooses to open the door in Yuno's home. Her remains will become important in Aru Akise's investigation of Yuno. Finally, her character in the Third World will in part convince the First World Yuno to spare her Third World self and sacrifice herself instead of the Second World Yukiteru Amano.

    The Final Battle

    The Third World Saika is seen abusing her Third World daughter Yuno two years prior to the time period experienced in the Second World. Keigo Kurusu takes her in upon receiving reports. When Kurusu goes to the Sakurami Middle School where the final battle of the Second World's Survival Game is taking place, Saika rushes out of the car to look for her daughter despite Kurusu's warnings. She finds First World Yuno trying to kill her Third World self who was protected by her injured husband. She pleads with First World Yuno to take her life instead of her family's.

    After the Second World's Survival Game ends, these incidents that nearly destroyed their family seem to have made united them as a family. Third World Yuno no longer suffers abuse and appears to have a fairly normal life. This suggests that in the Third World Saika received successful treatment.

    Others

    During when Minene and Yukiteru where traveling back in time to save the original Yuno, her father was outside the house before Yukiteru called an ambulance her father asked why she was taller. Yuno didn't hesitate and then stabbed him before he could say anything else.

    Takao Hiyama (火山 高夫, Hiyama Takao) is the Third diary owner. Ostensibly the homeroom teacher of Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai, Hiyama moonlights as a serial killer, hunting down defenseless women and killing them with a large knife or machete. He owns the "Murder Diary".

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance and Personality

    00:00

    41:20

    Hiyama is a man of about thirty, with long red hair, tied in a little ponytail, and green eyes.

    Little of Hiyama's personality is revealed during his short time in the story, but as a teacher he enjoys dropping surprise English tests on his students. He seems to be quite strict, although sometimes is friendly with his students, as was shown in the scene where he allows Yuno to make her clay model of Muru Muru, though likely only because she claimed it was a brain exercise.

    In fact, he was a very manipulative and sadistic man; he told his students to be careful of a serial killer despite being the culprit. Hiyama is also shown to be very paranoid, as he destroyed his Future Diary twice when Muru Muru first introduced it to him. Despite being told otherwise, he still believed that she was recording his crime in the diary believing it to instead be evidence of his criminal past. Because of his paranoid nature, Muru Muru predicted he would be the first Diary holder to be killed; this was later proven. ADVERTISEMENT

    Diary & Abilities

    Hiyama's Future Diary is the "Murder Diary", which predicts the future of his victims. It tells Hiyama how and where he will kill his next victim, and how best to corner and kill them. Due to the nature of the Survival game, the other diary owners are treated as victims, allowing Hiyama to easily track them down. However, his diary does not provide any information beyond that, leaving him unable to predict the movements of other people or how his victim may try to defend themselves against him.

    As a serial killer, Hiyama wears a hat, gas mask with goggles and a bulletproof and apparently explosive proof jacket. This makes him impervious to almost anything that would try to hit him. His trademark weapon is a large machete-like knife.

    He is shown to have many weaknesses, two of which being his paranoid demeanor and how he merely corners his victims and cuts them down with his knife. Hiyama is not as powerful as many of the other diary users, primarily because his diary doesn't show him how to defend against his potential victims' retaliation. This has been exploited several times across the series.

    Plot Overview

    The Survival Game

    Takao Hiyama was a killer at least two years prior to the events of the Survival Game. He appears in the first episode, warning the students in his class, Yuno and Yukiteru among them, to be careful of the serial killer, even though he was the serial killer himself, evidenced by him having stalked a woman and later murdered her that very night.

    Muru Muru appeared and presented him his Future Diary, but with as paranoid as Hiyama was shown to be, it took three attempts for him to realize it recorded his future and that Muru Muru was not recording the crime he committed.

    The following day Hiyama realized that Yukiteru was a Diary owner as well after having aced the math test using the results shown on his Future Diary. Hiyama also encountered another Diary owner at the old art university the same day, 9th, Minene Uryu, however Minene fled from him to join forces with Masumi Nishijima to escape him.

    Mirai Nikki - 01 - Large 27 Hiyama is eliminated Later Hiyama is shown to target Yukiteru and follows him to a building, unaware that Yuno was helping Yukiteru escape his death. As Hiyama reaches the roof, he is unable to find both Yukiteru and Yuno, and he quickly pulls out his diary to locate his targets. Yuno then runs out to distract Hiyama, and as Yukiteru leaps up from his hiding place, he tosses one of his throwing darts to shatter Hiyama's diary. Hiyama is quickly erased from existence, much to the surprise of Yukiteru. Because of this incident, the other Diary Holders mistakenly believe Yukiteru to be the most dangerous of the group, prompting them to target him.

    The Final Battle

    Hiyama is reborn towards the end of the story when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yukiteru and Minene jump back in time to the third world, where he is shown to be murdering a woman. He witnesses the explosions occurring at Sakurami Elementary School, thus allowing one of his potential victims an escape while he is enthralled with the sight. He then continues his rampage only to be tackled by Yomotsu Hirasaka. Two years later, he is shown to still be a criminal and on the run from the authorities. In the anime, Hiyama is captured by Yomotsu and is seen in prison; Yomotsu appears to visit him regularly, much to Hiyama's annoyance, although he does not seem to bear any sort of grudge.

    Future Diary: Paradox

    Hiyama also appears in the spin-off Future Diary: Paradox, stabbing Yukiteru after Muru Muru accidentally destroyed the intended timeline by killing Yuno. Aru Akise saves Yuki and takes his place in the survival game, Hiyama trying to kill him but ends up stabbing a fusebox with his machete, electrocuting himself to death. However, he is resurrected by Muru Muru to restart the game, but the events of Paradox are erased, leading to his death yet again.

    Keys: Ushio Gasai

    Ushio Gasai (我妻 潮, Gasai Ushio) is the adoptive father of Yuno Gasai and the husband of Saika Gasai. A minor character with major importance, he serves as an indirect cause for Yuno's descent into insanity.

    Personality

    Little is known of Ushio due to his brief appearance, although when first mentioned he was described as an elitist and (once) abusive parent towards Yuno.

    In stark contrast to this, however, Ushio was shown to be in fact a loving father to Yuno, and a seemingly good husband too, but otherwise restricted in both of these duties because of his busy schedule as a bank owner. It is briefly shown that Ushio was hostile towards Yuno when he was trapped inside a cage himself, although this is made more obvious in the anime. However, his anger seemed to stem from not understanding why Yuno imprisoned him, as he was not aware of Saika's abuse toward her. In the manga, it is Saika who furiously yells at Yuno. Plot Overview

    Behind the Scenes

    Years before the series timeline, Ushio and Saika, decided to adopt Yuno as they were unable to have children of their own for unknown reasons. However, Ushio became very busy with his work and spent little time with his family, prompting a lonely and sorrowful Saika to become more and more strict towards Yuno, taking her frustration out on her. Although Yuno endured it thinking her family would be loving once more, at a certain point she had enough of it and trapped the two of them in the same cage she was abused, thinking that suffering the same would make them the loving parents she wanted them to be. He is presumed to have died out of starvation and/or dehydration since he was denied proper feeding. The love he failed to give and his own death served as one of the main reasons for Yuno's insanity.

    Even dead he serves a major importance within the series, as his death proves a major focus regarding Yuno, in particular, that Akise Aru would investigate Yuno, and that Yukiteru Amano would start doubting Yuno, believing her to be a psychopath.

    The Final Battle

    He is briefly seen in the past receiving a call from the hospital after Yuki had decided to change the future and save the third Yuno, given the reports of Saika's abuse. He encounters the first Yuno and asks her if she is alright. While in the manga it is unknown how she evades him, in the anime, Yuno stabbed her father in a fit of rage and later goes after Yuki and her third self. After trapping Yuki in her illusion world, Yuno prepares to kill her third self, but Ushio timely arrives and is stabbed in the arm instead, with Saika pleading to the first Yuno to spare their family.

    Finally after the Survival Game ends, it is seen that the incident that had put their family in danger made them a much happier and united family as the third Yuno is no longer abused and lives a fairly normal life. Given that he survived, it is also hinted that the previously in bankrupt Gasai Bank is either growing or stable.

    Yomotsu Hirasaka (平坂 黄泉, Hirasaka Yomotsu) is the Twelfth diary owner. A blind man, Yomotsu is a vigilante who wishes to do good and help out those in need. Following a unique philosophy of justice, Yomotsu dresses in a mask and spandex outfit, and uses his "Justice Diary" to find crime and fight injustice.

    Personality

    Yomotsu is a zany man and one of the more madder of the diary owners. He has a cheery disposition, completely convinced he is a costumed fighter and follows the directions of his diary to the letter in order to perform his own brand of justice and heroics. He believes in the philosophy that "winners are righteous, and losers are evil", namely believing those who can achieve something are heroes, and those who fail are villains.

    Yomotsu Unmasked Yomotsu without his mask on. Yomotsu emphasises his vigilante work by wearing a battle costume, seemingly inspired by those of the Kamen Rider shows. By performing an eccentric "transformation sequence", Yomotsu puts on his costume, consisting of a black spandex costume, a large transformation belt, a mask made from white cloth, tied over his head with ropes. A large red eye is painted on the mask to make it resemble an eyeball. Yomotsu considers himself an "all-hearing" hero, being blind, and relies on his other senses, namely his enhanced hearing, to perform his acts of heroism. He also follows the superhero tradition of never revealing his secret identity, wearing a paper bag over his head at one point, and even wearing another one under that. However, he is shown not wearing a mask, having dirty brown hair.

    During his meeting with Muru Muru, Yomotsu admits he believes justice to be a lie, mainly because his attempts to perform good are hampered by his appearance or actions. Diary & Abilities

    12th-diary The Justice Diary Yomotsu uses the Justice Diary, an audio recorder which vocally describes its predictions to him. It predicts any form of crime or injustice within his range for Yomotsu to personally intervene and thwart, but it can also hypnotize others, putting them in a zombie-like state receptive to his every command. The hypnosis seems to wear off after a short while unless Yomotsu directly frees his victims, leaving them with no memory of their actions. However, it seems to have some means of remotely reasserting its effects on them, allowing them to act as sleeper agents - alternately, Yomotsu deliberately "turned off" the hypnosis in order to set his trap. The Justice Diary can also cause hallucinations, once causing Minene to think that a piece of wood was her diary.

    The Justice Diary's main weakness is its indiscriminate nature; it will predict any act of injustice, even something as minor as littering. Being a purely audio-based medium that can only present one prediction at a time, these "minor injustices" can delay Yomotsu from hearing more important notices, potentially giving his targets time to prepare or escape.

    Yomotsu is shown to be quite intelligent, using his diary's power of hypnotism to manipulate those he targets. His intelligence is demonstrated by how he reveals that the many diaries have strengths and weaknesses akin to Rock-Paper-Scissors; one diary will have absolute strength over another while a third diary will have strength and weakness, respectively, in regards to the first two, forming a circle of equality where none stands at the top or bottom of the power hierarchy.

    Despite being blind, he can move normally, such as jump from a roof or perform feats like a super-hero entry. His hearing sense is arguably his strongest ability, as he can pick up the sound of a small stone hitting an obstacle and react immediately.

    He also has some knowledge of bombs, as he swallowed one to commit a suicide attack and used others to set up his dramatic entrance with his brainwashed followers. He also seems to have some degree of medical skills, as he removed Minene Uryu's eye and then patched it.

    By the end of the series, it seems he is also physically strong enough to restrain the fully protected Third. Plot Overview

    Path of Righteousness

    Yomotsu debuted with the other diary owners at Deus Ex Machina's first meeting of the survival game. He gained his Future Diary from Muru Muru beforehand when she visited him in his log cabin located in the woods of Sakurami City. Yomotsu takes an interest in Yukiteru Amano after he killed Takao Hiyama, and targets him like several of the other diary owners.

    Yomotsu makes his move in the game by targeting the Ninth diary owner, Minene Uryu, who had attacked Yuki a couple of days ago at school. Minene's left eye was pierced, leaving her in a wounded condition and on the run from the police. Fleeing from the police and then the cult members of the Omekata religious order, Minene hid in the woods and fainted. Yomotsu approached Minene, taking her to his log cabin. Yomotsu, wearing a bag on his head, gives Minene a drink upon awakening, and inspects her damaged eye, realizing it has been blinded. Yomotsu offers to take her to see an optician who happens to a friend of his. Giving Minene a piggyback, Yomotsu heads outside only for Minene to unmask him, revealing he is wearing another paper bag under the first one.

    Minene and Yomotsu flee from the Omekata members, Yomotsu claiming to have called for an ambulance which will meet them. They find the ambulance at the bottom of a hill, but an army of searching cult followers are between them and the ambulance. Yomotsu reveals he knows who Minene is, and asks why she hates God, and killing and replacing him would just make her God. Yomotsu continues to guess Minene truly hates the world because of a traumatic event in her past, namely the deaths of her parents during a religious shootout in a Middle Eastern country. Minene is nearly reduced to tears when Yomotsu tells her to trust people more, and he runs off to distract the Omekata followers.

    Minene runs for the ambulance, running into the paramedics who help her into the ambulance. Yomotsu confronts the followers, having actually hypnotised them into following him. He snaps his fingers and they all fall unconscious. In the ambulance, the paramedics are revealed to be cult members, Minene hypnotised by Yomotsu earlier. Injecting Minene with a truth serum, the cult followers interrogate her to learn about the other diary owners, namely Yuki, Yuno Gasai and Keigo Kurusu. The followers then brutally remove Minene's eye. In the anime, Yomotsu saves Minene from the police and takes her to his cabin. However, he drugs her, paralyzing Minene so he can remove her eye and interrogate about Yuki. Later, Yomotsu reveals he approached Tsubaki Kasugano, the Sixth owner and leader of the Omekata cult, to "join" her cult and was given the task to capture Minene to gain entry into the religion.

    The Cult of the Sixth

    By the time that Yuki, Yuno and Kurusu arrived at the Omekata Temple, Yomotsu had reunited with Minene whose eye had been removed. Now keeping Minene locked up in a prison cell in the temple's dungeon, Yomotsu acts as her guard and initiates his plan to kill Tsubaki, knowing the true darker side of her cult. Yomotsu hypnotises all of the followers in the temple to kill Tsubaki. The followers stage a murderous rampage, "killing" each other but are actually playing dead. Yomotsu puts his costume on, revealing his true eccentric personality and explains his justice philosophy to Minene, believing he is a winner and Tsubaki is a loser.

    Twelfth1 Yomotsu and his impersonators make their entrance. Yuno realises that the followers are not dead and begins killing them, much to Yomotsu's surprise. Listening to his diary, Yomotsu explains to Minene what it is and is alerted to some dropped litter and immediately leaps to deal with it. Hearing his diary's entries change, Yomotsu leans in to listen, only to react negatively to the unheard entry. Giving Minene the keys to her chains, Yomotsu takes his leave, taking one of Minene's miniature bombs with him.

    Kurusu finds Minene and learns about Yomotsu, phoning Yuki and informing him of Twelfth's approach. Outside, Yuno spots Yomotsu standing on a rooftop. Four other people dressed like Yomotsu join him on the roof, the red eyes coloured in blue, yellow, green and pink. Together, the quintet do a dramatic Super Sentai inspired entrance, complete with an explosion set off by one of the Yomotsu impersonators. The five, identifying themselves as the "Quintwelve", leap down before Yuki, Yuno and Tsubaki and all introduce themselves as Twelfth. Talking one after the other, the five explain one of them is the true Diary user; that one has swallowed Minene's bomb, which will explode shortly. Yomotsu points out to Yuki the sins of the Omekata cult and reveals that his diary has a Dead End flag; thus, he plans to commit suicide by blowing himself and Tsubaki to pieces.

    Twelfth2 Yuno kills Yomotsu. With that, Yomotsu and his doppelgangers charge at Yuki, shuffling around to complicate the predictions of his Indiscriminate Diary. Quickly realizing that Yomotsu is blind, Yuki picks up a rock and throws it at a rail. The sound of the rock causes four of the "Yomotsus" to glance at it, but the fifth merely cocks his head to listen. Recognizing her target, Yuno races through the Quintwelve and slashes Yomotsu's throat with an axe. Yomotsu is sent flying, tumbling through the air and concludes Yuno is a "winner" before disappearing into thin air. The bomb explodes seconds after.

    With Yomotsu's diary confirming his death, Tsubaki's true goals are revealed, eventually leading to Yuki to save Yuno and slay Tsubaki himself. Minene, inspired by Yomotsu, moves into his log cabin and forms allies with the other diary owners.

    The Final Battle

    In the third parallel world created when Yuno, Muru Muru, Yuki and Minene perform a time leap and travel back in time, arriving two years in the past, Yomotsu is seen apprehending a criminal when he is alerted to the explosions and bright lights occurring at the elementary school, caused by the fights between Muru Muru and Minene. He is later seen capturing Takao Hiyama.

    Two years later, Yomotsu is shown among the gathering of characters in the final chapter. He is seemingly not considered an outcast and interacting with other citizens; this suggests his vigilante missions, if any at this point, have been better received. In the anime, he successfully captures Hiyama, often visiting him in prison.

    In Future Diary Redial, Yomotsu continues his work as a vigilante, but has set up his own merchandise store at the beach. Whilst attempting to pose as a normal shopkeeper, Yomotsu's inner eccentricities are stirred by Yuno and her friends. He bursts into a dramatic appraisal of his alter ego. However, Yuno, Hinata, Mao, Akise, and Reisuke express finding "Twelfth" to be creepy and a nuisance, upsetting Yomotsu.

    Future Diary: Paradox

    Yomotsu reprises his role in Paradox and his actions at first follow the main storyline. He captures Minene and imprisons her in an underground dungeon in Omekata Temple. However, when the fire erupts in the temple, Aru Akise elopes with Tsubaki Kasugano, which foiled Yomotsu's plan to ambush and kill Tsubaki. Muru Muru, frustrated that Akise's actions have changed the future, enlists the help of Yomotsu and the hypnotised Omekata followers to eliminate both Akise and Tsubaki when the time came.

    When Akise and Tsubaki returned to the temple to expose Funatsu as the murderer of Tsubaki's parents, they used Reisuke Houjou to wander around as a lost child, which prompted Yomotsu to rescue him as his Justice Diary says. Reisuke told Yomotsu of the real situation: that Funatsu is a bad person who killed Tsubaki's parents and forced Tsubaki to endure two years of being a sex slave to the cult. Outraged that he had committed a wrong by siding with the Omekata Cult, Yomotsu immediately redressed his sins by freeing the followers from his hypnosis. At the same time, Funatsu, due to provocation by Akise, admitted to his crime of killing Tsubaki's parents, the founders of the religion. The followers surrounding him, freed from hypnosis and astounded by his declaration, revolt against Funatsu, one member punching him and knocking him out.

    Through this changed future, Yomotsu was shown the true path of justice, not his previous ideology of winners being righteous. However, Muru Muru eventually succeeds in reversing time, erasing all the events in Paradox.

34. #34Future Diary

    Keys: Future Diary

    A Future Diary is the namesake device of the Future Diary series. Developed for the participants of the battle royale set by Deus Ex Machina, it is a communication tool (usually a cell phone) that can predict the future in a way that reflects its user.

    Future Diaries appear in almost all Future Diary works, including the Future Diary -Another:World- series.

    Overview & Background

    The Future Diaries were the joint creation of two people: Deus ex Machina, who sought a means to find a successor to his throne as the God of Time and Space, and John Bacchus, who wished to further human evolution. With the former God's supernatural powers and the latter's vast resources and technical knowledge; they developed the first Future Diaries, representing different means to see the future and track others of their kind. Deus and John would continue to refine the concept and incorporate them into Deus's search for a worthy successor. Eventually, twelve unique Diaries that are given to the participants of Deus's Survival Game are developed.

    Future Diaries can take on a variety of forms, but all manifest as an object that can be used to record information about one's surroundings and opinions. The most common form is a cell phone, but some Diaries appear as computers, audio recorders, scrolls, and even coloring books. They present their user with predictions of the future seemingly written/recorded as if the user themselves had made the entries; each Diary has a different scope, which gives it certain advantages and limitations compared to the rest.

    While each Future Diary has a different means of seeing the future, they always reflect their user in some way; their personality, occupation, hobbies, and general outlook. Some Future Diaries also have secondary abilities, such as Twelfth's ability to hypnotize people or Eighth's ability to grant Apprentice Diaries to others.

    A person granted a Future Diary is called a Diary Holder. There are initially twelve Diary Holders, all candidates for Deus Ex Machina's Survival Game (Thirteen in the video game, The 13th Diary Holder); however, it is possible to create new Diary Holders by making Apprentice Diaries with the Eighth's Blog Diary. Interestingly, a Diary Holder is not necessarily a single person; for example, the Seventh candidate was actually two people with complementary Future Diaries. Additionally, it is possible to temporarily transfer ownership of a Future Diary to another person, allowing them to use their diary; similarly, stealing another Diary Holder's diary enables the thief to make use of its predictions. Common Elements

    Despite the differences between the diaries, there are certain common elements between them. First of all, the futures they present are not immutable; their users can act on the information presented by their Diaries to defy or avert a predicted event, thereby changing the entries on their Diary to match the new reality. If a user's future is altered by another person's actions, their Future Diary will automatically adjust its predictions as needed; if observed directly, the affected entries will appear or disappear in a manner befitting their medium. For instance, a cellphone-based Diary would have static cover the screen as the entries change, while the written medium Diaries have entries appear to fade away and reappear like drying ink.

    The Future Diaries can also present special alerts to their users if a particularly significant event is predicted.

    The most common and important of these alerts is the Dead End; an entry detailing the user's own demise. If this message appears, the user is doomed to die unless they can change the future to avert the Dead End; depending on the situation, the chances of successfully doing so can vary drastically, although it is usually very difficult. Some Future Diaries are more detailed than others when presenting a Dead End, giving warnings about the exact time and means of their user's death. Another type of diary alert known to appear (albeit only shown in one diary) is the Happy End, a prediction that its user will succeed in their goals. Like the Dead End, it can be erased if the future changes in a way that threatens the user's goals. Future Diaries are inextricably linked to their user's existence, meaning that a Diary Holder must protect their diary at all costs. If a Future Diary is destroyed, its Holder's body collapses into a singularity and fades from existence. Conversely, a Future Diary loses its powers if its holder is killed, lasting just long enough to present their Dead End before reverting to an ordinary object. List of Future Diaries

    These Future Diaries are used by the participants of Deus's Survival Game.

    The Indiscriminate Diary (無差別日記, Musabetsu Nikki?): The diary used by the series protagonist Yukiteru Amano, also known as the First. It is a cellphone that gives him the ability to read the details of his surroundings, be it present or future. While this allows it to be very useful in most scenarios, it will not tell him anything about himself, which leaves him open to certain attacks. Additionally, the diary's predictions are based on Yukiteru's own perception of truth, preventing him from identifying deceit. It reflects his personality as a reclusive bystander. The Yukiteru Diary (雪輝日記, Yukiteru Nikki?): Is the diary used by the Second, the series deuteragonist Yuno Gasai. It is a cellphone with entries detailing Yukiteru's actions in ten-minute intervals. While it is one of the weaker Future Diaries in terms of scope, it makes a fearsome combination with the Indiscriminate Diary; Yuno can predict what happens to Yukiteru, and Yukiteru can predict everything else. This diary reflects Yuno's obsessive love for Yukiteru. The Murder Diary (殺人日記, Satsujin Nikki?): The diary used by the Third, Takao Hiyama. It is a cellphone that identifies people he wishes to kill and tells him where they are at any given time. However, it does not tell him what his victims will do, leaving him vulnerable if they decide to defend themselves against him. It reflects his nature as a psychotic serial killer. It also makes the user invulnerable to bullets and bombs alike, this was shown when the owner confronted the user of the Escape Diary. The Criminal Investigation Diary (捜査日記, Sōsa Nikki?): The diary used by the Fourth, Keigo Kurusu. It is a cellphone that predicts the results of his investigations into criminal activities, reflecting his position as the chief of police in Sakurami City and his desire to protect the innocent from lawbreakers. While this is useful for tracking most of the other Survival Game candidates, it still requires that Kurusu dedicate time and resources to maximize the benefits of his diary's predictions. The Hyper Vision Diary (はいぱーびじょんだいありー, Haipā Bijon Daiarī?): The diary used by the Fifth, Reisuke Houjou. It is a coloring book that predicts three entries per day, one in the morning, noon and night. While it may seem weak, it allows Reisuke to plan out his entire day at once; it also provides simple pictures to further clarify each prediction. His diary may reflect his rather impatient and childish behavior. The Clairvoyance Diary (千里眼日記, Senrigan Nikki?): The diary used by the Sixth, Tsubaki Kasugano. It is a large scroll which shows entries of what her subordinates see, allowing her to strategically direct them and gather information over a large area. However, its reliance on her followers leaves Tsubaki open to sabotage and misdirection, and its large, fragile nature makes it extremely vulnerable to use. It reflects her position as the figurehead of the Omekata religion, her poor eyesight, and her supposed clairvoyant powers. The Exchange Diaries (交換日記, Kōkan Nikki?): The diary used by the joint Sevenths, Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami. It is a pair of cellphones that each describe the other holder's future, allowing them to coordinate their efforts and track each other even if they are apart; alternately, they can switch phones and read their own futures. As a dual Future Diary, it is at its weakest when its users are separated; however, losing one does not disable/kill the other. It reflects the deep bond of love between Marco and Ai. The Blog Diary (増殖日記, Zōshoku Nikki?, "Propagation Diary"): Also translated as the Server Diary, this laptop computer is the diary used by the Eighth, Kamado Ueshita, Unlike most of the other Future Diaries, it cannot predict the future; instead, it enables Kamado to transform people who link to the Blog Diary into Apprentice Diary Users (see below), giving her a potential army to fight on her behalf. It reflects her loving nature and her job as the director of the Mother's Village orphanage. The Escape Diary (逃亡日記, Tōbō Nikki?): The diary used by the Ninth, Minene Uryu, a cellphone whose entries inform her on how to escape from dangerous situations. It provides specific details about the escape routes (where to go, how long to hide, etc.), but it lacks offensive utility; furthermore, it can still display a Dead End flag if Minene is completely cornered. It reflects her nature as a survivalist since a young age. The Breeder Diary (飼育日記, Shiiku Nikki?): The cellphone diary used by the Tenth, Karyuudo Tsukishima, who also loaned it to his daughter, Hinata Hino. It enables its user to control Karyuudo's dogs and see their futures, allowing the user to efficiently track their enemies and attack from multiple angles at once. While it requires greater levels of concentration as more dogs are used, this weakness can be circumvented by commanding dogs in groups or by using a computer to manage their locations. It reflects Karyuudo's great love for dogs. The Watcher (ザウォッチャ Za Uotcha): The diary used by the Eleventh, John Bacchus, is a tablet that can read the entries of every other diary at will (including Apprentice Diaries) and reveal their Holders' locations. This enables John to know exactly what will his enemies do and how to defend himself from them or catch them off-guard, making it one of the strongest Future Diaries of all. However, since it only reads other entries without confirming their validity, it is vulnerable to misinformation; additionally, it lacks any ability to predict the future on its own, not even providing a Dead End flag. It reflects John's megalomania, his dream to "evolve humanity", his job as the mayor of Sakurami City, and his role as the co-creator of the Future Diaries. The Justice Diary (正義日記, Seigi Nikki?): The diary used by the Twelfth, Yomotsu Hirasaka, an audio recorder which predicts and alerts him to acts of "injustice" around him; unfortunately, it doesn't discriminate between great acts and simple acts such as littering. It also has the ability to hypnotize people, putting them under his complete control. It reflects him as the heroic vigilante he claims to be and his desire to spread "justice" across the world. The Video Diary (ビデオ日記 Bideo Nikki): (Game Only) The diary used by the Thirteenth, Azami Kirisaki, a digital video camera that allows her to visually record the future and shows her what she will record on her diary. Apprentice Diaries

    Apprentice Diaries are a unique sub-set of Future Diaries provided to people who link themselves to the server used by the Eighth's Blog Diary. Apprentice Diary Holders are introduced midway through the game when the Seventh and the Eighth make their move, as most of the Apprentices seen are in fact orphans under the care of Kamado Ueshita. After the appearance of these Holders, Deus himself tried to clarify some points regarding them and the game. Although he never clearly states anything about them, some traits are known and others are hinted at:

    As with all Future Diaries, the abilities of Apprentice Diaries reflect their Holders in some way. All Apprentice Diaries take the form of cellphones, although Apprentice Diaries can be given to active participants in the Survival Game if they connect to the Blog Diary (e.g. the Sevenths). It is heavily implied that an Apprentice Diary User is ineligible to become God, presumably because they were not chosen by Deus as potential successors. None of the Apprentice users express a serious desire to try, so whether or not they would be able to win the Survival Game is unclear. Destroying an Apprentice Diary does not kill the user, possibly because they are not considered to be a candidate to succeed Deus. The Apprentice Diaries can only function if they are connected to the Blog Diary's server; if the connection is interrupted, they lose their power (however, they immediately regain their functionality once the connection is restored). This appears to be a weakness specific to them, as the Seventh and Eleventh's Future Diaries show no such vulnerability. As an extension of this, all Apprentice Diaries would presumably be lost forever if Kamado (the user of the Blog Diary) dies. Apprentice Diary users can join with whatever party they see fit, not necessarily the Eighth's. Although it never comes up in the series, it is suggested that an Apprentice Diary cannot be taken back once it is granted to a user. The following is a list of the known Apprentice Diaries and their users if known:

    The Flirting Diary: Used by Ai Mikami. It allows her to see which men she's going to flirt with; mostly used to track targets. It may represent her awareness of her own attractiveness and her willingness to use it to her advantage in the Survival Game. The Brawler Diary: Used by Marco Ikusaba. It allows him to predict his opponents' moves in combat, giving him a chance to counter or dodge as necessary. It represents his combative nature and desire to meet his foes head-on. The Orphan Diary: Used by Orin Miyashiro. Its abilities are unknown, but it is suggested that it predicts the future of Ueshita's orphans. The Copy Diary: Used by Ta-kun. By making a connection with a diary, it is capable of copying its abilities, including normal Future Diaries. The Kosaka King Diary: Used by Ouji Kosaka. It predicts his successful moments, mostly used to reverse a situation. It does not tell him of his failures; therefore, he can fail if he relies too much on his successes. It represents his arrogant surety in his own superiority. The Neo Kosaka King Diary: A replacement and upgrade of the previous Diary, used by Ouji Kosaka. This one predicts the successes of Kosaka and his friends; it's suggested that it retains the same weakness as the previous one. It represents his belief in his friends as well as himself. The Friendship Diary: Used by Hinata Hino. It predicts conversations she will have with her friends, allowing her to track their conditions. It represents her outgoing nature and desire to keep in touch with those close to her. The Hinata Lumps Diary: Used by Mao Nonosaka. It predicts the progress of growth of Hinata Hino's breasts, as well as any other notable news about how they are looking, and what they are doing. It represents Mao's relentless lust for Hinata's body. The Secretary Diary: Used by Ryuji Kurosaki, John Bacchus' secretary. It records and predicts John's actions, serving as a countermeasure for the Watcher Diary's weakness to misinformation. It likely represents Ryuji's loyalty to John or his role as his secretary. The Detective Diary: Used by Aru Akise. It can read the entries of the Diary Users and predict their future, regardless of any changes that may be made. It represents his desire to be a detective and to prove he has a free will of his own. Several unnamed Apprentice Diaries are seen being granted to the citizens of Sakurami City after John Bacchus connects the city's phones to Kamado Ueshita's diary and the HOLON III supercomputer - including a terminally ill man's diary telling him he will die soon, a stock manager discovering the next day's prices, and a young boy's diary telling him what food his mother will cook for dinner. Scrapped Future Diary Prototypes

    At one point, Deus reveals that before the game was hosted, he and John created several prototypes of the Future Diaries. Although they were never used for the Survival Game, being refined into the Future Diaries seen in the series proper, they have been named and detailed:

    The Radar: A Future Diary that predicts one's surroundings. Was likely refined into Yukiteru's Random Diary. The Searcher: A Future Diary that predicts specific people's actions. Was likely refined into Yuno's Yukiteru Diary and possibly the Seventh's Exchange Diary. The Supplier: A Future Diary that can provide others with Diaries. Was likely refined into Kamado's Blog Diary. The Organizer: A Future Diary that gives details about an organization or group of people. Was likely refined into Tsubaki's Clairvoyance Diary and/or Karyuudo's Breeder Diary. The Watcher: A Future Diary that can see the entries of other diaries. It was the only prototype that was not scrapped; John Bacchus refined it with data from the other prototypes to develop the Watcher Diary that he would use as the Eleventh when Deus held the Survival Game.

    Keys: The Survival Game

    The Survival Game is a major event in the Future Diary series. It is a Battle Royale tournament hosted by Deus Ex Machina in order to choose his successor as the God of Time and Space.

    Deus initiates the game sometime during April 2006. Thirteen individuals were selected as participants, with two people (Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami) being treated as a single candidate. Each of the candidates are given Future Diaries, devices that allow them to predict the future to some degree. They are then tasked to kill each other (either directly or by destroying their diaries) until only one candidate remains; that candidate will become Deus' successor. The game is judged by Deus himself, with his assistant Muru Muru handing out the diaries and acting as his secondary judge.

    Three survival games are known to have occurred; two in the manga and anime, and one in the drama Future Diary: Another World.

    ADVERTISEMENT Future Diary Survival Game Overview

    1/2

    The Survival Game has several rules which are vital to the diary owners and the game's progress:

    All diaries predict the future in different ways. Each owner is assigned a number from one to twelve and are referred to by their titles (e.g. "First"). Until their true identities are discovered through the diaries, the owners are referred to by their titles. The futures of the diaries are not set in stone. If a diary owner or another person does an action that contradicts the entries on the diaries, then the future will change accordingly. The diaries literally carry a person's future. If they are broken, then the diary owner will be erased through existence and removed from the game. In the manga and anime, their bodies collapse into a tiny black hole, while in Another World, they disintegrate into a burst of floating numbers which vanish, symbolizing their spent futures. No diary owners are allowed to quit or retire from the game; however, a diary can be stolen or temporarily given to a third party. The game will officially end when only one diary owner is left alive. The winner shall become God. Deus and Muru Muru must not interfere with the actions of the game. (Both characters break this rule during the second game.) The official timeline takes place between April and July, ending on July 28th. Contradictory dates between the manga and anime make the starting date for the game difficult, but it is likely between April 21st and April 24th, on the day after Yuki receives his Future Diary from Deus. It appears that Muru Muru handed out the diaries to the diary owners in a random or reversed order, with Yuki being the last one to gain his.

    Occasionally, Deus holds meetings between the diary owners in the Cathedral of Causality to monitor their progress, update them on relevant events, and give the owners an opportunity to ask questions regarding the game.
