Hey so uh in honor of ace/asex awareness week who are some characters in yugioh you feel are ace?
Oh damn, you always know just what to ask!
Okay I’m limiting it to two per series (minus Zexal since I’ve never watched it) because this post would be too goddamn long otherwise. Aside from the fact that every single ace monster is, naturally, asexual:
Is asexual and gray-romantic. Words cannot describe how far away the concepts of sex and love are from his thought process, which is partly why he’s able to be so goddamn obsessed with his company and rivalry with Yugi. Is well aware of his asexuality, and is the lowkey benefactor of several LGBTQIA+ organizations.
Oh, Mai. Our girl here is 100% sex indifferent; at first, she didn’t quite get why people would fall all over themselves for her, never having experienced sexual attraction herself. But she eventually figured it out, which is how she’s able to successfully play up her own sex appeal.
Gray-ace and homoromantic. Is the type of ace who never felt any angst over it. Is open to having sex with his partners, but is just as fine without it.
The bonafide Supreme Leader of Asexual Ace Monsters. Is about as sex positive and sex favorable as they come, their desire just isn’t aimed at anyone (their fixation on Judai is more on the romantic end of things).
Is the Forever King demisexual? You bet your ass he is. Sex very rarely crosses his mind and when it does, it’s never about “just anybody”. *stares pointedly at Yusei and Carly*
The sex-repulsed ace who lowkey feels like she’s “broken”, but highkey doesn’t care because she’s too busy trying to avenge her parents. She’s able to reflect on it more after Z-One is defeated, and is pretty resigned to the idea that no one would ever want to be in a relationship with her… until it actually happens *stares pointedly at Aki and Crow*
Biromantic ace who always knew how he felt, but never learned the terminology for it. You can imagine all the fun he had trying to explain his orientation to people. Eventually finds out asexuality was a thing from Yuri of all people, and that’s when everything finally clicks.
You know that meme where certain characters are asexual because they care too much about something else to think about sex at all? With Ray, it was saving the world.
This aroace motherfucker is the type who thought everyone was kidding. People didn’t really like kissing, right? Or holding hands? And why would anyone waste their time on something as trivial as a date? But then he found out nah, people really do all that unironically, and that’s when he had the “oh dear I’m queer” moment.
The asexual who’s still in the process of figuring out he’s asexual. Being absurdly out-of-touch with his own feelings, he didn’t quite realize he was probably experiencing a lack of attraction until Ema spelled out the concept to him. But plot shenanigans are still in full swing, so, you know—gotta give our boy some time.
