// Ok I didn’t want to go this far but at this point, you guys are hating on Ayato just for clout and it shows. It’s okay not to like a character but straight up spreading misinformation about him is not okay. If you lack reading comprehension, just admit it.
What makes Ayato’s past so sad isn’t only the fact that Cordelia was mean towards him. She mentally and physically abused him, yet what genuinely hurt Ayato the most was the way Cordelia treated ALL the triplets. A part of him didn’t even want to kill her, given that he CRIED in the MB flashbacks because, despite being a huge abuser, he STILL felt sympathy even for someone like her. No matter how horrible Cordelia was, Ayato still wished for Karlheinz to reciprocate her feelings only to finally see her happy.
Don't even get me started on the Adam curse. He was practically used as bait and abandoned to death by his own brothers, but he still hoped for their safety after escaping. That curse literally destroyed his entire life because its purpose was to make the person who ate the fig drown in despair and go insane. That's why he was sooo obsessed with Yui's blood. Heck, he's cursed in routes other than his own, as he goes insane in Ruki's MB one, to the point that his brothers had to lock him inside the dungeon. In addition, in his MB Vampire Ending, he falls into a coma because he refuses to hurt Yui and keep drinking her blood.
Other than that, Laito was the one who made him believe that he wasn’t special, hence he adopted the “I will never make someone special again” mentality. He also wanted to kill him when he was younger (no hate towards any of his brothers though). Kanato was the only one who never did something bad to him, considering that when Ayato was a child, Reiji called him the disappointment of the family after failing a test.
Ayato did twisted stuff too; no character is a saint, but he always tries his best to fix things. Even when not dating Yui, he’s capable of showing compassion, support and a desire to improve his relationship with his brothers BY HIMSELF. Check this analysis for example.
Other than that, despite every time being hurt when trying to show kindness, he still became a very selfless guy who’d sacrifice himself for anyone at any given time. What makes this even more admirable is that according to Karlheinz, he’s literally the only one who actually VALUES his life. This guy who loves life would risk it all for Yui, even when not dating, or for any of his brothers.
On top of that, he's incredibly empathic?? He forgives everybody, no matter what they do to him, and seeks to maintain good relations with them. In Kino's LE route, for example, he tortures and burns Ayato, but Ayato is the first person to recognize him as his brother because he wanted Kino to feel that he, too, belonged to a family.
Last but not least, nobody silences Karlheinz as good as him. He was also the only one who connected the dots by himself about his dad being the root of all evil, including being the only one who didn’t want to kill him only because he didn’t want to fall into his plan. Check this post.
Oh and, Ayato is actually really big; it’s not that only his fans make him that way! This post basically proves that he’s the IT boy of otome games and I should also mention that he’s the character that sells the most in Japan and China! Just look what Japanese fans think of him. ;)
You can dislike him as much as you want but nobody can deny how brave and pure-hearted he is. He’s the definition of from zero to hero.
As I mentioned earlier, it's fine to dislike him, but don't become obsessed with it, lol. At the end of the day, he's merely a fictional character with endearing characteristics and the male lead. It's really not that deep. Besides, it's embarrassing when the hate comes from Yui stans because she definitely wouldn't be happy of any of you talking about her man in that way.
// I’m jumping on the bandwagon with this bingo, therefore I’m presenting to you YUI’S TYPE! This was inspired by my old post and it’s obviously based on canon.
(( Not an interaction cause I’m still busy but I couldn’t not give this a try!This was just screaming Ayato inside my head hehe.
He wasn’t honest with feelings in the old games but later on, if I remember correctly other characters acknowledged him as honest in general, no?He also started being honest with his feelings with Yui, so that made me mark that spot ÒwÓ
He’s more family oriented than other characters buuuut idk.I was debating between the doesn’t underestimate her and mostly on the same wavelength as her but tbh out of his siblings he’s the one that underestimates her the least so it deserved that red mark.They can be on the same wavelength but y’know, vampires and humans will always have different mindsets 🫠 ))
( I've never had the opportunity to celebrate it with anyone because it's always been just my father and I, however... Cordelia-sama would indeed be sad if she won't receive anything, wouldn't she? )
( I mean, I can't blame her children either but deep down, I’m sure she wishes to be appreciated too... )
( This most likely has nothing to do with me, but I chose to get her something in the name of the triplets. Perhaps she'll be kinder to them this way, and they'll be able to fix their relationship a little. )
( Well, here I go!)
Ah... Uhm… Happy Mother's Day, Cordelia-sama!
We have prepared something for this special occasion, therefore I really hope you'll enjoy our gift...!
* Yui gives her a jewellery box decorated with red roses *
She looks at her
….. !
(A gift… from her? No, it cannot be. If it is not from him, it is mere mockery… !)
She snatched the box from her
Have you decided to mock me now!? You, of all people?!
You surely have nerves to come for me as well now, pitying me on top!!
Wah—! Y-You got it wrong! I wasn’t trying to pity Cordelia-sama at all!
It’s just that… it’s Mother’s Day and I never got the chance to prepare anything for my mother, since I’ve never had one. I simply thought that gifting you something would make you feel happy and... appreciated!
( She looks really angry… Ugh, I should have minded my own business because I feel like I made matters worse…!)
Oi, old hag! You really can’t show some fucking gratefulness, can you?!
She gave you that shit to make you happy but look at you making her feel like an idiot instead! Tch…and there I was thinking of congratulating you but you don’t deserve that in the least!
Just move on already. That old man…he won’t give you anythin’ and I thought you must have been well aware of that.
After all, he doesn’t give a damn about any of us. Never did and never will.
// I present to you Ayayui Valentine's Day cg because they're adorable together and I really wanted to feed their stans uwu. I got this idea from something my bestie drew last year, and I'm not one to brag, but I love how this one turned out! It almost looks official, which makes me happy! ٩̋( *ˊᗜˋ* )و
I also wrote a special Valentine’s Day story regarding this cg! Despite being my best boy, I don’t really consider myself good at writing Ayato but I tried my best, therefore… if you’re into fluff and cheesy moments, click on “keep reading”! <3
~Ayayui Valentine’s Day scenario~
Yui: “Limited edition Pocky”
(That’s what I got yesterday when we went to the Demon world. Kanato-kun was surprisingly kind enough to recommend a good candy store, so I’m sure he must know best, right?)
(I can’t believe it’s already Valentine’s Day…)
(If I remembered it sooner, I would have tried to bake something special for it but I suppose these pocky sticks should do the trick as well. It’s still chocolate after all and it’s really interesting how once you finish them all, you’ll get a message at the bottom of the box!)
Now, all I have to do is wait and——
Ayato: Whatcha doing there, Chichinashi?
Yui: Wah…! Geez, Ayato-kun, you scared me!
(And he almost saw the pocky box too—!)
Ayato: Tch… stop screaming, will you?
Yui: Ah… I-I’m sorry! It’s just that… Ayato-kun, there is——
Student: Hey, you’re Ayato-san, right? I was told to give you these. They are quite a lot, you must really be popular, huh?
Yui: …!
(Eeh!? A bag full of chocolates!)
(I know Ayato-kun, as a member of the Sakamaki family, is popular but when this thought crosses my mind, my chest… it somehow tightens…)
W-Woah, the amount is really impressive!
Student: Right? I wish I received such gifts on Valentine’s Day too but haa… not everyone is lucky enough.
Ayato: Y’know, if you really want them, you can have them.
Yui: Wha—!
Student: E-Excuse me?
Ayato: I don’t need them, they can’t satisfy me in any way so what’s the point of keeping useless trash?
Yui: B-But Ayato-kun, it’s the thought that counts! Besides, they spent money on them!
Ayato: If they can afford to attend a private school, buying chocolates will not bankrupt them. Let's go, or what now? Do you prefer to walk home all alone in the dark?
Yui: That’s… I-I’m coming!
— Timeskip —
Yui: (Ayato-kun… Does he refuse Valentine's Day gifts? But if that's the case, I can't guarantee I won't be rejected as well...)
(Nevertheless, thinking negatively will accomplish nothing. I bought the box with the thought of him in my mind because Ayato-kun is the person I like the most. If I don't take a shot, I might regret it later, so it's now or never!)
Hey, Ayato-kun.
Ayato: Hm?
Yui: (Here we go…!)
Will you be… my Valentine?
— Yui blushes and hands him the pocky box —
Ayato: Heh…
Yui: (C-Come on, is he laughing at me now?)
— Ayato teleports —
Yui: Eh?
(We’re at some sort of dessert shop?)
Ayato: Took you long enough, Chichinashi. I would have much rather preferred to receive Takoyaki but pocky doesn’t sound half bad either.
Yui: Wait a little, so you knew!?
Ayato: Obviously? I noticed you hiding something from me a few hours ago and waited all day for you to make your move. At some point, I even thought you were scared based on my reaction to that bag of chocolates, which… wasn’t my intention.
Yui: It’s alright, don’t worry. I should have guessed you don't like Valentine's Day gifts. I mean, I'm sure there are a lot of disadvantages to being popular. You probably grew tired of receiving gifts from people with whom you had little or no interaction.
Ayato: That too but those chicks also lacked courage. If you're going to make something for me, give it to me face to face. I wouldn't have turned down their gifts otherwise; I'm not that kind of person, y’know?
Yui: (I see, so that explains his reaction. I failed to look at what was actually bothering Ayato-kun but on a positive note, I’m glad I took action, because that’s what he truly wanted.)
Ayato: Besides… I… I would have accepted it anyway from you.
Yui: A-Ayato-kun…!
Ayato: S-Stop screaming already, will you!? Tch… whatever!
Yui: (Am I not seeing well or is he really blushing? Fufu, that’s somehow cute~!)
Ayato: Pocky, huh? Let’s give them a taste test then, hm?
— Ayato puts pocky in his mouth and gets closer —
Yui: Eh? R-Right now? But this is a public place!
Ayato: And? What’s the point in having a Valentine if you can’t show them off ? Now c’mon, open your mouth.
Yui: Uuh…
(He’s lifting my chin!)
(When Ayato-kun looks at me like that… I simply can’t resist anymore!)
F-Fine… Mn..
Ayato: Mn… Mn… Mn…
Yui: (W-Wait, slow down!)
Ayato: *kisses*
Yui: …!
Ayato: Heeh, your face is turning bright red; are you really that easy to heat up~?
Yui: “E-Easy”, you say, but that's a normal reaction when you decide to kiss me unexpectedly!
Ayato: And now that I've done it once, I demand a second round!
— Timeskip —
Yui: (I can’t believe we finished the whole pocky box. Gosh… that was so embarrassing!)
(Thankfully, the people around us preferred minding their own business rather than looking at us.)
Ayato: …
Yui: (Ayato-kun became unusually quiet; could he be sleeping?)
Ayato-kun…?
Ayato: …
Yui: (No answer at all? Did he really fall asleep?)
(However, I shouldn't wake him up. We'll be asked to leave when the dessert shop closes anyway, so I'll let him nap for the time being.)
Come to think of it, now that the box is empty, a message was said to be at the bottom of it, no?
— Yui finds a piece of paper and starts reading —
Yui: “Thank you for purchasing our limited edition pocky! In honor of this release, we have a special treat in store for you too: if you share a pocky stick with your beloved, both of you will be able to drown in pleasure afterwards! The reason is simple because our secret ingredient is… aphrodisiac”!?
(N-No way, this can’t— Kya! Something is touching my leg!)
Oi, what the hell is this all about, huh?! As if I’d let an old hag such as yourself decide my own future…again! Unlike you, I got something called dignity and if you really want to be the controlling bitch you are, start with controlling your huge urge to fuck things up!
Oh, so now YOU care about not playing with feelings, huh? Don’t make me laugh, we all know how you treated us…all the things you made us go through…why didn’t you care about OUR feelings back then?!
Tsk… Whatever, I don’t have the energy to pretend to like you today. You really are much worse than people say when they talk behind your back!
I have never had the urge to look or even talk to you, after proofing what kind of a disappointment you are.
Pushes him back
If you ever were man enough to stand your ground, maybe people would not leave you behind so easily. But it appears to me as if you are still the same old useless child you used to be from day one.
No wonder even your own siblings, whom you teamed up with, wanted to get rid of you at some point. And yet you have the nerve to come at me.
Even if you tell me those things…I couldn’t care less. I don’t give a fuck about your stupid opinion anyway! Who the fuck do you even think you are?!
Heh…I see, so you really think you’re loved, hm? I thought you learned your lesson but nope, you never change. You’re the same selfish, annoying and judgmental old hag you have always been.That old fart would get rid of you at any given time without hesitation, that’s why I guess you could say we’re in the same boat here, huh?

Although another year has passed, my love for this franchise remains unwavering. Obviously, I had to edit my two dummies favorite characters aka the main hero and heroine, although I’m grateful for everyone. All of the Diaboys are great characters who helped DL develop and become my favorite otome game! (*ˊᗜˋ*)
In addition, as a huge Yui and cat lover, the fact that Rejet posted today a picture of Ayato holding Yui in a cat form, honestly filled my heart with so much joy and definitely made my day!! 😭💕
(Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, and while I can't say I've ever celebrated it, I'm looking forward to attending the Halloween party this year!)
(I'm glad the triplets were eager to join me trick-or-treating afterwards; at the very least, I'm hoping that having fun together will help them strengthen their bonds a little bit more.)
(Still, my main task is finding a suitable costume. I'm sure everyone will look great, but wearing something too scary or revealing… that would definitely not be my taste.)
Uuh... this is far more complicated than I thought.
*timeskip*
Woah, the witch costume is really cute!
(It took some time to find one that was still available, but fortunately I was able to take it.)
(Come to think of it, witches truly are popular on Halloween, huh? The costume was almost out of stock, after all.)
Ah! I almost forgot that I still have to buy some party supplies! I need to act quickly or else I’m sure they'll be all bought!
*starts searching*
N-no way! There really is nothing left…!
(To think I wasted so much time looking for a costume for myself when I could have finished the list instead... that was indeed not the best decision. But... what should I do now?)
Oi, Chichinashi there you a— The hell are you even wearin’?! Pfft, you look like a little girl waiting for her mom to pick her up! Or even worse, a little girl who got her candies stolen…hahaha!
Anyway, what are you doin’ here alone? Don’t you know demons best hunt during Halloween since they can easily fit in? Geez, you really are scatterbrained, there’s no point in hiding it anymore.
Now get your ass back home, will you? Tsk, my feet hurt! I've been looking for you for three hours, so you better be grateful, okay?
W-Well, it’s not that bad, right? I mean… Aren't most of the girls here dressed exactly like me? I doubt it would sell well if it really looked that ugly, after all.
(But wait, what if this costume truly doesn’t fit me? Uuh… seriously, I’m starting to doubt myself now!)
(Ah, he’s right! I can't believe I completely forgot I was putting myself in danger here, but I was the one in charge of the costumes and party supplies, so I had no choice but to go buy those.)
Sorry… I should have been more cautious indeed. Although, there was no one home when I left, otherwise I would have tried asking anyone to join me.
*blushes*
(Ayato-kun has been searching all this time for me? That’s… no, no, I shouldn’t get my hopes too high. It’s probably just a misunderstanding.)
D-Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate it but… I really can’t leave! You see, I made this big mistake. I spent so much time looking for the perfect costume that I completely overlooked looking for supplies, which are now all sold out…!
Heh~ but look at those girls! Don’t you think there’s something they have and you don’t? Maybe that’s why— …Okay, okay, I’ll stop. Cheer up, idiot, I’m just kidding so don’t show me that lost child face, understood?
Hah?! Jeez, you had one job, Chichinashi! This is my sign to never leave you out of my sight ever again because just look at you, you airhead! You forgot to do the most important part, there was even limited edition Takoyaki but now—
Well, there are only two things you can do: you either start bawling your eyes out here and return home with nothing or…we both go to the Demon World to search for whatever the fuck you need. And don’t make me repeat myself, the offer is just available now!
Hah?! You damned old hag really have no shame, huh? Tsk, spreading lies again now, as usual! Well, whatever, at least you finally spread something other than your legs.

Haha, jokes on you! O-of course, that’s not a real picture! Someone just dared to test out their photoshop skills on Ore-sama but it’s obviously fake, it’s just made to fool idiots like you!
if we’re looking from a realistic point of view, the most popular dialovers character is undoubtedly ayato and not only because of the anime, he got a huge impact even outside his own franchise. tons of pics and videos of him are everywhere, he’s always the only diaboy in those “most handsome anime guys” tops and the most important part, i remember this post and i met more people talking about their resemblance. notice how satoi uses ayato’s face when making poster boys, whose purpose is appealing to the audience. this isn’t even a joke anymore, ayato is the main boy standard, his visuals are the most appealing.
it’s so sad tho how this fandom discredits him so much, from belittling his trauma to daring to say someone else deserved to be the official lover. bffr honey, you can’t outshine the shiner💋 ayato’s made to be the face of dialovers, his design got that special thing nobody else does. anyway, love your blog, admin! yui, ayato and laito stans are the goat!❤️🔥
// AYATO THE IT BOY OF OTOME GAMES! 😩✊🏻
If you get this reference, let’s be friends! xD
As you mentioned, Ayato is unquestionably the most popular character, as well as the one with the greatest impact. He's not only everywhere on the internet, but he's also involved in a lot of crossovers, and he is the face of DL but also Rejet's symbol: meeting Lindo from DwD in Rejestic Brothers, being spotted by the Erosion boys in a Carnelian Blood CD drama, taking pictures with Atom from Marginal4, and so on.
As for his looks, I believe we can all agree that Satoi and other artists (4th and 6th pictures) were inspired by Ayato when creating other poster boys, which is understandable given that Ayato's visuals are designed to be the most appealing. From my point of view, Laito is the most good-looking Diaboy but Ayato is the most attractive/charming one since he got that appeal that can’t be matched, basically je ne sais quoi.
Ayato is most likely considered the blueprint but everyone is free to have their own opinion. I have nothing against people who express themselves, but if they start hating on characters and their stans, then their opinion is no longer valid.
Also aww, thank you! The majority of Yui, Ayato and Laito stans I’ve met are really sweet and great people, therefore I’m glad to hear that!🥺💖
