Yuuram in Novel 1
Because yuuram is life, I will make a megapost that will include every yuuram moment in every novel and extra story we have available in English so far.Ā
Iāll make a post per novel and then make the megapost that will link to them when I have them all. Theyāll be long but who doesnāt need a reminder of these wonderful moments in their lives?Ā
To make it fun, I challenge you to count the times that Yuuri calls Wolfram beautiful.
Letās begin!Ā
Ā āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Novel 1. ch.3 -The first time Yuuri sees Wolfram-
āAs for the super beautiful shape of the fourth person, even I might be able to match his physique physically. It canāt be helped because characteristics like the length of the legs is a racial feature, like height and shoulder width and body weight. Since when did I become someone who only worries about body build. Maybe, because of that day when the second pitcher said, "You, since youāre a small target, itāll be hard to throw a ball into youā.
Even if our bodies are evenly matched, when I just glanced up, Iāve already been defeated. How can he be this beautiful! Because of them, his face emits an aura. Although itās likely to seem that way because of his dazzling blond hair. His looks and voice are like an older Vienna chorus boy. His white skin seems transparent, and his irises are an emerald green that make me think of the bottom of a lake, and furthermore he doesnāt have a split chin. Heās an angel, definitely an angry angel. However, being in this place, heās also probably a beautiful Mazoku.ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.3 -Gunter talking about Shinou and Daikenja - cuz it applies
"Shinou is the darkness, and the Daikenja is the light. They yearn for each other, love each other, and are born bearing each otherās colors in body. In short, darkness is light, and light is darkness!ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.4 -Yuuri slapping Wolfram-
It seemed like he wasnāt going to stop attacking under any circumstances. Wolfram gulps down his glass, and because heās beautiful the way he glares this way is all the more fierce. (ā¦)
There are moments when my small-town sense of justice canāt be suppressed. As a catcher, thatās a fatal flaw. Itās very disadvantageous in life.
Right in front of me I had slapped that beautiful face.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.6 -The reason why Yuuri chose sumo for the duel-
The common people wear trunks, while the rich people or nobles generally wear panties with ties on the side. As a gung-ho noble, Wolfram would almost positively be wearing the panties. I donāt want to see him in his underwear, but he has a figure that looks like itād come off easily during the match. If that happens then the match is mine. Youāre immediately defeated if it falls off. There is a rule for that.
(..) From the start I take a low position, and with a quick forward movement I struck Wolframās waist while he was unprepared for a lunge. Instead of a loin cloth I took hold of his belt. It was an instant victory.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.7
-Wofram pov: sort of good-looking brat-
If he was going to kill him, then kill him. Although it was humiliating that this sort of good-looking brat had him by the neck, it was much more honorable to die like a warrior, than kneel and beg for his life.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.8
-Wolfram accepting the proposal-
He looked away from me oddly, lifting his chin diagonally in an unnatural way.
āAnd so young partnersā¦ā
Leaving behind a meaningful phrase, the aged one left the room.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.8
-Wolfram being cute-
āAre āgripā and 'batā the names of the weapons youāre used to using?ā
āNo no. On of the pieces of gear you use for baseball is like a stick, as well as a glove and ball, and the pitcher throws and the batter tries to hit it, and if he does the batter becomes a runner, and the catcher takes out the runner.ā
āAs I thought, a life and death match.ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Novel 1. ch.8 -First time he calls Yuuri henachoko-
āAt any rate a worthless maou like you canāt even ride a horse by himself! I can gallop with extra luggage on my horse without any trouble, even if you seem uncertain. Youāre the first maou to be such a henchoko, so it canāt be helped!ā
āD-donāt call me a henachoko!ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.9 -Second time he calls Yuuri henachoko -
āMy older brother should have arrived there by now, so everything might already be under control. It isnāt that dangerous, but since youāre a henachoko donāt go where I canāt see you.ā
āDonāt call me a henachoko.ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.9 - When they meet Adalbert-
āDonāt listen to him!ā
Wolframās voice sounded hoarse as he shouted. The uneasiness made my shoulders tremble.
āAh, huh, you could talk?!ā
āDonāt listen to that guy! Heāsā¦ā
It wasnāt just my shoulders, but my arms were wrapped around his waist and his entire body was trembling. As he turned his head to face forward I could see beads of perspiration forming at the nape of his neck.
āThat man, he betrayed us⦠Heāll try, to bring you, into his group, too.ā
āWolfram, if it hurts then donāt talk.ā
(ā¦.)
āFrom the looks of it, theyāre not planning on killing you. Itāll be troublesome if you get hurt trying to resist. Go with Adelbert for now.ā
āBut, you and everyoneā¦ā
āDonāt worry about us.ā
I take in his words. If I leave them behind, what will happen to them?
Wolfram whispers briefly again.
āHurry and go, Yuuri!ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Novel 1. ch.9 -Interesting foreshadowing-
āNo, Iāll shout, Iām allowed to shout! Iāll be Japanese until Iām twenty, even if I have the soul of the maou, Iāll be Japanese until I come of age. I think Japan is more peaceful that this country, so even if you tell me to stop Iāll continue talking! I oppose war, completely oppose, Iāll oppose it my whole life, even if in death Iāll oppose it!ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Novel 1. ch.10 General knowledge -Gunter
āAs I explained to you, majutsu is a quality of the soul. Your majesty, having the soul of the maou, can make the four elements obey you gladly, without going through the trouble of taking the oath and such things.ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.10
-Are you seeing this, Gyun-gyun!?-
From the far side of the corridor, the blond with wavy hair comes running. The intense navy blue uniform suits him; the mazoku Prince Wolfram. 'Although heās a man heās this beautiful, Günterā I muttered in a sigh.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā Novel 1. ch.10
ā Golden wingsā
āAppearing without any treasure, donāt embarrass my older brother and me!ā
Before I could open my mouth to respond, Wolfram grabbed my chest and fastened a shiny golden decoration to me.
āHeyā¦ā
āMy uncle Bielefeld gave this to me when I was a child. It doesnāt have any special origin, but it suits someone who hasnāt gone out on the battlefield, let alone military merit. Anyway, considering Yuuri canāt even ride a horse, heās the most henachoko king in history.ā
āDonāt call me a henachoko~.ā
āAll right, settle down.ā
When he says all that in unnaturally fast speech, Wolfram half-runs away.
The present fastened to the left side of my chest is a gold bird with both wings spread. Conrad smugly gazes after his little brotherās back.
āIt seems Wolfram has taken a liking to Your Majesty.ā
āEeeeeh?! That Haughty-Whatever-Sama Royal Highness!?ā

A Guide For Yuuram Fans
Hello fellow yuuram fan! Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
- Does Yuuri like Wolf? - No, but I mean like āDoes he REALLY like Wolf?ā - Am I getting invested just to find out itās clickbait? - Is Yuuri ever going to accept Wolfās feelings? - Does Yuuri like guys? - Will they get married or not?
You have questions? I have source material-backed answers! TLDR: Theyāre literally married in the future
The Basics
First, you need to understand that thereās a variety of so-called canons. Thereās an anime canon, a manga canon, a drama cd canon, a musical canon, and then some other random things that you canāt really call canon but exist: such as games, radio shows, tv stuff not written by the author, etc.
All of these canons and non-canon stuff are fine, and you can enjoy them as much as you want, but theyāre NOT the source material. Source material are only the novels and stories that have been written by Takabayashi-sensei (anything in written form and some dramas also written by her according to interviews).
Takabayashi-sensei is the author of the novels (the source material out of which everything else is derived), and her word is āgodās wordā. By the way, she used this term to refer to herself in regards to the maruma series, Iām not fangirling, but using terminology she herself used.
Please understand that most of the material that isnāt āsource materialā has been altered in many ways to appeal to a 'larger audienceā (manga and drama cds), or to make it palatable to the more homophobic society of the 2000s (in the case of the anime). When the anime began social media didnāt exist. And when the anime ended (in 2009), social media was in its infancy. Thatās how long ago these media were adapted from source material.
The Fandom
The fandom has influenced the source material itself at times (such as Conrad fans throwing a hissy fit when he died in novel 5 to the point that Takabayashi-sensei had to resurrect him and change who the key was and many other plot points since then). Certain shippers still force senseiās hand to write fanservice here and there, and despite that, one thing has been clear from the beginning:
Takabayashi-senseiās 'main coupleā is the one she got engaged back in novel 1: Yuuri and Wolf, the royal couple.
The Bias
Before we get into the thick of this, letās take a moment to understand bias. Iām sure that if youāre reading this far into this you really like yuuram and donāt have a problem with homosexuality, boys love, etc. (I use yuuram to mean the royal couple: Yuuri and Wolf, nothing to do with 'whoās on topā or anything like that, just a name for the ship with these two characters).
Despite that, anyone reading this has been born and raised in a highly hetero-normative society where if a girl so much looks at a boy she must be into him, and vice-versa.
Who can forget the āHe was a boy, She was a girl, Can I make it any more obviousā lyrics of the 2000s? Same applies to 'shipsā all across the board.
If any, and I mean any 'boy-girlā relationship was 10% of what the yuuram relationship is, there wouldnāt be a single doubt that those two are in love, dating, married, and living happily ever after.
But when it comes to Yuuri and Wolf it feels like pulling teeth to get people to accept that theyāre in a relationship. I blame mostly the anime for including weird non-canon ideas into fans minds, as well as heteronormative societies.
Please donāt be this person:
Finally, please take a moment to read THISĀ as an introduction to my next section.
The Royal Couple
Begin by forgetting everything you consumed from other canons (TV, manga, fanfics) if you truly want to appreciate the Royal Couple in its source material form.
1) Romantic interest
The source material has made Yuuri very interested in Wolfram since the very beginning. Of course, at first, he was only interested in Wolframās physical appearance. But the more he got to know Wolfram the more he cared about him and the less he cared about his physical appearance.
To get a full picture of how madly he falls for Wolf, you need to read the novels, but here are some excerpts to illustrate my point:
How it started:
Source: Novel 1-Chapter 1
āEven if our bodies are evenly matched, when I just glanced up, Iāve already been defeated. How can he be this beautiful! (ć©ććććć®ē¾ććļ¼) At the same time, his head is emitting an aura. Although itās likely that it seemed that way because of his dazzling blond hair. His looks and voice are like an older Vienna chorus boy. His white skin seems transparent, and his irises are an emerald green that make me think of the bottom of a lake, and furthermore he doesnāt have a split chin. Heās an angel, definitely an angry angel. However, because heās in this place, heās probably a beautiful demon.ā
-> Yuuri writes a fucking sonnet in his head about Wolfās beauty when they meet.
Source: Novel 1-Chapter 10
Ā From the far side of the corridor, the blond with wavy hair comes running. The intense navy blue uniform suits him; the mazoku Prince Wolfram. I muttered in a sigh 'Although heās a man, heās this beautiful, Günterā.
-> Yuuri complains to Gunter that Wolf is too beautiful.
How itās going:
Source: Novel 17, Chapter 7
āThose words hurt me deeply inside my heart, a pain as though I was burnt in an instant. Because I had an experience like that, in which I nearly lost the most important person to me, just because he was wearing someone elseās clothes.ā
-> Yuuri calling Wolfram his most important person, code in the maruma series for person youāre in love with.
Source:Ā Do you want an exorcism? 2 (post novel 17)
āAnd because of that rich VARIETY in the configuration, mazoku is more an ethnicity than a race.
You have from kotsuhizoku, kotsuchizoku, and bone fish who are living creatures, even though they are just bones, to the seasonal migrating tribe of half-humanoid, half-fish maidmer princesses. As for the humanoid ones, there are regular looking ones like me or Conrad, but there are also some who are super beautiful like Günter or Wolframā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. as for the last one, this is just a little bit of my own personal bias, but it makes no difference if heās beautiful or not.ā
-> Yuuri saying that the beauty he went head over heals in novel 1 for, doesnāt matter to him anymore because of his 'personal biasā
Source: Misepan 2: (post novel 17, arguably the last story written near the release of the novels)
āIf I was in trouble, and I was missing something important. And you had one that was exactly the same ā¦.ā
āIād lend it to you, of courseā
I thought about this, literally with my hands on his chest. In fact, with my hand, that was pressed against his chest, I could feel that the speed of my partnerās and my heartbeat was the same. Anyone would get blood rushing to their brains when theyāre seriously thinking about something. When I could calm down a little, I let out a small sigh.
āOr rather, when it comes to things that I can give you, I would give you anything, Wolf.ā
-> Yuuri tells Wolfram he would give him anything in the world.
2) Sexual interest:
-There are several times when the source material implies that Yuuri and Wolf donāt just sleep at night.
Again, please remember that in the novels Greta does not sleep with Yuuri and Wolfram. This was a TV addition to appease homophobic minds. In fact, in the novels, Yuuri forbade Greta from sleeping with them because sheās 'too oldā. Also source material Greta is rarely in Shin Makoku as sheās studying abroad half the time.
Source:Ā Novel 2- Chapter10
āIf I leave it up to you, it will never get settled.ā
āSo, what kind of settlement do you wantā¦?ā My voice trails off as he sways his hips closer.
The former mazoku princeās face brightens and he pulls me down by the arm.
āWah!ā
āSo you finally feel like settling things!?ā
āI donāt ~ā
Iām scared to think about what sort of settlement this is. Iām not going to lose my life or anything, but I do feel like thereās something else Iām going to lose. I desperately extract myself, fly into the bathroom and lock the door.
āYuuri!ā
āWait wait wait! I gotta take a bath first, okay!? You donāt wanna do it with a sweaty guy, right!?ā
Do it� I blanch at my own words.
-> Yuuriās subconscious is clearly working against him.XD It looks like Yuuri doesnāt want to lose the v-card yet (he barely knows Wolf at this point), but he still says Ā to Wolf he should take a bath before they do it. Gambare, Yu-chan
Source:Ā Novel 4 - Chapter 1
-> Yuuri and Wolfram have been sleeping together for 3 months at the beginning of novel 4! Please! If this was a guy and girl you wouldnāt be wondering what theyāre doing! He has a lock on the door! He can keep Wolf out , order him out, but he never does. Donāt be the gray haired lady!
Source:Ā Never Ending Poison Lady 1
- āAs a measure against Wolfram, who somehow even on our trips sleeps in the same bed as I do, I made a wall with three pillows which also had cute egg shaped buttons. I tucked my shirt into my pants, so that my stomach wouldnāt get cold. After all, in the mornings when I woke up, both my clothes and my sleeping posture were always preposterous.ā
-> Yuuri says he puts some pillows to avoid getting into the weird sleeping postures and getting his clothes messed up and shirt untucked, but he never thinks of 'not sleeping with Wolfā~
Source: Never Ending Poison Lady 1 (same book as last)
- āWhile watching Wolframās cheeks get red in excitement, a surprised Josak swallowed the questionā You even sleep together when youāre out on a trip?ā.
-> Even Jozak (the spy whoās supposed to know everything) seems surprised that theyāre "sleeping together all the timeā. Theyāre clearly hiding it from people.
Source: Maru maru maruMA-Ā (book with series info and interviews)
Takabayashi-sensei replied to a question about Yuuri and Wolfram and what would happen once they get married⦠and she said it clearly: Theyāll have sex.
(āPlease answer my maruma questionā, maru maru maruMA)
Source: SS: Murakenzu 2018-11-13 (Paper 1 accompanying cd72) āYeah, my father was talking about it, and sheās still being called 'Gokumiā, huh? At any rate, even if he was smiling way too much, his footsteps started to sound louder and faster as he got farther away. In that moment we thought: Eh? Is it that bad? Maybe they saw something while we were sleeping, or rather, maybe they took peeping photographs and want to do something bad with them.ā
āRather than while you were sleeping, before going to sleep?ā
āYou mean like, when I do practice baseball swings naked or something?ā
āYeah, naked practice.ā
āOr maybe like, a picture of Wolfās butt when heās wearing his sexy negligee or something?ā
āAh! If a picture of it peeking out is released it would be bad, huh?ā
āThen, I suddenly realized that "secretā might just be a hook. In other words, those trick titles that often appear in sports newspapers.ā
"Yes, yes.ā
-> Yuuri talks about Wolframās butt showing as a common place and about himself being completely naked doing 'baseball practiceā in the room with Wolf, whatever that may mean.
3) Illustrations
The 4 wedding pictures. Yuuri and Wolfram have been illustrated as married four times by the seriesā illustrator:
1Ā Ā |Ā 2Ā Ā |Ā 3Ā |Ā Ā 4Ā
And I like to add this fifth oneĀ (used in Thereās Valentineās Day in Shin Makoku!? DVD special), since inĀ the black and white version, thereās a comment by Takabayashi-sensei that says: āWith this weāve finally won against the anime team! ā, meaning they beat them to the wedding.Ā Also theyāreĀ married in the future in the latest story from 2020.
4) Terminology
Yuuri and Wolf are referred to in tweets by Takabayashi-sensei, GEG-san and Temari-sensei as the Royal Couple (ćć¤ć«ć). The author, editor and illustrator all know already what they are and thatās why they call them that.
More information:
Please, please read the source material. But if you wonāt, at least read some of the analyses Iāve made to find out more about yuuram. Yuuram is here, itās canon, and their ship has sailed a long time ago, in novel 1. They were always meant to end up together and they have. (āThe dream endingā was how the author wanted yuuram to end, happily married). This isnāt clickbait, or fanwork. The author likes the Royal couple and will see that they end up together no matter what.

A Closer Look at the Phaidei Memory
I've seen so many people talking about this scene with Phainon and Mydei and making fun of how blatantly obvious Phainon is about his... respect for Mydei's... conspicuous body, but one thing I feel like a lot of people missed (or at least I haven't seen anyone discussing) is that this memory seems to come from very early on in their acquaintance.
Looking at it closely, it's clear that the two aren't particularly familiar with each other yet in this memory sequence. For one, Phainon questions things that he should easily know if he was well-acquainted with Mydei already.
First, very comically: "Do you even bathe, bro?"
And second, Phainon questions why Mydei isn't immune to the black tide:
This suggests that, up to the point of this memory, Phainon had not been in enough battles with Mydei (or at least close enough to Mydei) to see him be affected by the black tide. Apparently, this memory-Phainon-and-Mydei don't have years of rushing into battle side-by-side to defend Okhema yet.
It's also hilariously clear that the Phainon in this memory has absolutely no idea how to talk to Mydei.
š½ļø
what truly gets me about the "in the next life you should come visit my library" scene is that it's specifically an answer to Phainon wanting to learn more about the kremnoan language. yes they're bickering but it's also about wanting to understand Mydei better. and Mydei really says "if the world was kinder to us i'd tell you more about me. if we had more time i'd let you closer"
okay wtf why are they so DOOMED someone kill me
"but... if there's a chance in the next life, you should come visit my library" WHAT WHAT WHATTTT THIS IS LITERALLY "in another life, i'd enjoy just doing laundry and taxes with you" ALL OVER AGAINNN
my lil HKS šŗ i was in sad delulu hrs but i tried to make it happy...? haha...*sniffles* TT
You didnāt come down from the sky? ā This city is mine anyway.
i got distracted š§
Phainon could NOT find the 10th thoracic vertebrae š š
your end
No sorry, i actually havenāt moved on from the fact that Phainon spent ages tracking down Mydeiās motherās signet ring from where it was lost in the sea of souls and i still havent moved on from how he became an expert in appraisal solely so he could make sure it was authentic when he gave it back to Mydei and i still havenāt moved on from the look on Mydeiās face and the awe in his voice when he got it back and i still havenāt moved on from the fact that Mydei immediately knew it was Phainon who did that for him because no one else would
