Yusuke canon traits masterpost
After I flowded my friends with headcanons I decided to put together all of Yusuke’s canon traits that I found really interesting based on facts in the game, the manga and the artbook (and a good reference for him) without any plot spoilers:
Also, thank you @mizuouji for helping.

- it’s common for people to be attracted by his good looks at first and this can led them to mistake him by someone who has a cool personality (when in reality he is actually a pretty random and weird guy).
- doesn’t like to be called weird and is triggered easily by that.
- can eat a whole buffet alone and still feel hungry.
- loves snacks and likes to hide them inside his phantom thief costume (in his cleavage, don’t ask me how this works it just does).
- is easily distracted and can often change the subject of a conversation in the middle of it or simply walk away uninterested.
- is perceptive over other people’s actions and if they are troubled he can sense it, but if they feel something towards him (love, hate, etc) he is slow to catch.
- grew up reading manga and is familiar with classics (Naruto, Dragon Ball).
- can become self aware if is too close of someone and is awkward with physical contact.
- speaks in a very polite way and is actually pretty good in expressing himself through words.
- can snap easily if someone insults his artwork, but he can’t manage to insult people.
- the above fact doesn’t mean he can’t be rude without noticing since he is painfully honest.
- doesn’t like to depend too much on people and often rejects help if he feels he can conquer something by his own hands, but if he ever needs any help Akira is the first to come to his mind.
- is the strongest character (in status), but can’t carry people for a long time.
- doesn’t really understand why being naked is embarassing and would take his clothes off anywhere (this include public places too).
- he can understand parental love, but what he knows about romantic love is very basic and has more to do with the aesthetic of it, so he can’t understand confessions or be flirty for the sake of it.
- doesn’t like summer and becomes agitated during it, hanging out more frequently by this time.
- can’t take physical pain well and can often vocalize it.
- is very skillful in preparing low income food in a short period of time, but let him get creative with expensive ingredients and he will forget he is cooking and flip into artist mode (and only god may knows what will come out of it).
- knows how to drive, but is so slow that even a turtle can reach him (can’t take anything related to speed very well because he likes to feel safe).
- is the character with the least luck.
- has the habit of drawing doodles on the back of his tests.
- doesn’t feel sexual attraction towards anyone (he knows what it is), seeing only the aesthetic in a naked body.
- sees beauty and romantic love as a form of art (he can’t understand very well the last one).
