Ano in your opinion which is the worst development, Yuuto or Yuuri? Really, could the writer make Yuuri's ep without him disappeared at the end?
Just to be clear I’ll be talking specifically about canon characterization, not about fandom opinion or headcanons
Now that’s out of the way I’ll respond: Yuto
Just to be clear none of them have what you could call a stellar characterization infact during the first season both were pretty equal on characterization but since the Synchro and Xyz arc I’ve come to think that Yuri has it better for one reason:
What little they’ve shown us of him, is consistent, yes his only known act so far is: appear, terrorize people or the bracelet girl in turn, laugh and diss out insults, maybe card someone and dissapear for x reason.
Yuto’s character in season 1 had one purpose: He was gateway to reveal the mysteries of the dimensional war, the yu boys and the bracelet girls, he also introduced Shun, then his purpose was met and he in a g-rated way was killed off.
Then come the Xyz arc and his character is so over the place that I have the nagging suspicion that the writers had not planned to bring him back at all (just like I suspect there was not supposed to be and Xyz arc at all) but they had to for popular demand I guess.
He’s a pacificist, he’s angry and vengeful, he’s regretfully violent, he couldn’t control the Berserk Mode or yes he could, they writers just didn’t seem to agree in anything with him.
And consistency is one of the most basic things to make a solid character development, rounded characters may seem to have conflicting traits sometimes because their extended characterization allows for it, but for satellital characters like Yuto is just looks sloppy.
