Before I make too many posts I should probably make an introduction.
Feel free to ask me anything, just going to be brief here.
How I got into YTTD:
I heard about it through the DR fandom and osmosis’d some vague spoilers but I had planned on waiting for the game to finish before I got into it. .............but then one day YTTD Animatic “Mind Electic” showed up in my related videos and I happened to check it out. Spoilery for chapter 2 but it confirmed for me that I was going to absolutely love Shin. Been losing my mind for the beanie baby ever since.
Favorite scene:
The cellphone confrontation entirely flipped my feelings for Shin. Up to that point I saw him as a rival character and I wanted to Destroy him (in a fun way). Fighting over the cellphone and the message on it highlights that Shin has been going through the death game with his own perspective that just happened to be in conflict with Sara’s perspective and I both loved how valid he was for suspecting Sara and loved how protective he was of Kanna. He doesn’t have to be right about Sara for me to be impressed at the agency his character has independent from what the protagonist is up to.
Chapter 2 in general is great for having characters take actions that have nothing to do with Sara being there to influence it or even know it’s happening at all.
Favorite Ship:
Alright let’s get this out of the way, controversial take but

I may make a post later explaining my reasons for this but tldr it comes down to how important Sou is to Shin’s development and what I enjoy is puzzling out what defines these characters. Would absolutely be hype to see Shin grow past the bastard man, but I also would be interested in exploring their history together and various ways their dynamic could play out. Couldn’t they just be platonic? Sure, but after Midori’s “affection” line I’m interpreting the way they both seem clingy to the memory of the other as them having been boyfriends in the past. Awaiting canon to confirm/deny.
