Yuno Gasai is the female protagonist of the action, thriller anime called Mirai Nikki or also known as Future Diary in English. The anime follows the story of Yukiteru Amano, an introverted 14-year old boy, who writes about his awkward and uneventful life in his cellphone diary. However, everything changes when Yukiteru has been thrust into a battle royale-like scenario and one of the few allies he has is Yuno, which some may consider being the mascot of "yanderes".
Yanderes are character tropes, primarily females, whose seemingly innocent infatuation with someone turns into an aggressive, insane obsession. They often try to hide their sick fixation with cute behavior, but their true hostile and sometimes homicidal nature always comes out. Yuno Gasai is a master manipulator as she balances between being adorable and psychotic to Yukiteru. Here are five Yuno Gasai quotes that could sound charming reworded as a pickup line and five quotes that would sound downright disturbing as one.
10 CHARMING: "I WAS PRACTICALLY DEAD, BUT YOU GAVE ME A FUTURE"
This Yuno Gasai quote can be turned into a charming pickup line. Telling someone you care about that life wasn't worth living until they came into your life can make them feel like they mean the world. In this quote, viewers see the grateful side of Yuno. It shows that Yukiteru gave Yuno a sense of purpose, and she wants to protect Yukiteru and the future that they have together.
9 DISTURBING: "I WILL DIE FOR YUKI, AND EVEN IN DEATH I WILL CHASE AFTER YUKKI"
So, this quote is a bit more disturbing than the previous one. This quote actually finishes the "I was practically dead, but you gave me a future" quote. The entire quote is:
"I was practically dead, but you gave me a future. Yuki is my hope in life, but if it won't come true then I will die for Yuki, and even in death I will chase after Yuki."
Yuno probably should have left that end part out. Dying for someone can be romantic, but chasing them after death? When someone is chasing another person, this usually means the other person is running away. This could mean that no matter how fast or far Yukiteru, or as she says "Yuki," runs, Yuno will be on his heels.
Chasing someone even after death could also sound like she plans to haunt him. Unless Yukiteru is into some spiritual intimacy, the idea of being haunted by an obsessed, ex-lover for the rest of your life does not sound cute.
8 CHARMING: "I'M CRAZY? WHAT'S CRAZY IS THAT THIS WORLD REFUSES TO LET ME BE WITH YOU"
Yuno isn't crazy, the world is crazy for judging and keeping her apart from her man. Although this has a slight tinge of craziness to it, the notion that it's unfair that the world is trying to keep Yukiteru and her apart is not a new concept in the genre of romance. In Shakespeare, it's the star-crossed lovers that are being pushed apart by fate. In Twilight, it was the nature of humans and vampires that kept Bella and Edward apart. Whether it be race, religion, or gender, there are plenty of love stories that feature obstacles that hinder couples from being together.
Yuno defying a world that keeps pushing her away from Yukiteru can be seen as romantic. Although Yukiteru's point of view of the situation might make this quote less on the loving side and more on the controlling side, going against the odds for love deserves at least one point in romance.
7 DISTURBING: "I'M SELFISH, I KNOW. BUT TO KEEP YOU MINE, I WILL DO EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO, EVEN IF IT'S ILLEGAL"
Again, Yuno needs to quit when she's ahead. The quote was starting off as extremely charming until she said: "even if it's illegal." What does that exactly mean? Will she ignore restraining orders put against her? Will she kidnap and lock Yukiteru in a room and isolate him from his family and friends for the rest of his life? Will she kill him if that means she will have been the only person to have had him?
Using this quote in the form of a pickup line might cause someone to call the cops, so it would be best to stay away from this one.
6 CHARMING: "DON'T WORRY YUKI, YUNO WILL PROTECT YOU"
This is one of the most charming and innocent things she says to Yukiteru in the show. Yukiteru has horrible anxiety and confidence issues to the point that it becomes debilitating. For a good majority of the show, it features Yukiteru worrying and freaking out about everything, so overall he's a very weak character. It's really sweet Yuno tells Yukiteru to not worry and that she will protect him, because despite her cute appearance, she has the brawn to back it up.
Telling someone you'll be at their side when they need you the most is very comforting and could work well as a pickup line.
5 DISTURBING: "I MAY ONLY BE GOOD FOR KILLING PEOPLE, AND MAYBE I AM COMPLETELY UNAPPEALING TO YOU, BUT I THOUGHT YOU WILL LOVE ME ONCE THIS WAS ALL OVER"
Alright, Yuno definitely goes a little overboard with this one. Not only has she blown her innocent, sweet cover with the admission of the fact that she does not only kill people, but she's also good at killing people. She sets an expectation for Yukiteru that no matter how many people she brutally kills or how unattractive she is to him, she still expects him to love her.
This is a pickup line that will definitely have the cops at your door if used.
4 CHARMING: "MAYBE THE FUTURE IS BAD. BUT THERE'S A FUTURE BEYOND THAT, RIGHT?
This quote is an amazing way to comfort someone you care about. Assuring someone that no matter how bad things get, there's always a way past it, is a great way to make you not only look like a dashing hero, but you also look at the positive side of things. Yuno protects Yukiteru and gets him through the worst-case scenarios, and gives Yukiteru hope of living another day. Use this quote to make someone's day or possibly imply a brighter future with you in it.
3 DISTURBING: "I'M GLAD YUKI'S MOTHER IS A GOOD PERSON- I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE ANY OF THE TOOLS I BROUGHT"
Complementing about your crush's or significant other's parents is good. Implying that if their parents rubbed you the wrong way you might have "used tools" on them is not a good thing. It's a very, very bad thing. Once again, Yuno should learn the lesson of never finishing her thoughts. The compliment about Yukiteru's mom could have been a sweet quote without the tools comment and would have painted Yuno as more of a loving character than a deranged murderer.
Avoid using this quote as a pickup line unless you want to be banned from seeing your crush forever.
2 CHARMING: "YOUR FUTURE BELONGS TO ME"
Without any context, this quote can be pulled off as romantic! "Your future belongs to me" can mean a lot of different things. It can mean your last name will belong to someone. It can mean you will be taken care of forever, in sickness or in health, your loved one will ensure they are responsible for your happiness. It could also just be a slightly subtle way of saying you want to marry someone one day.
Just make sure this loved one never watches this anime so they don't know this quote came from a character that is willing to kill her crush's mom. Might not be received as well.
1 DISTURBING: "CHOOSE ME AND LIVE OR CHOOSE SIXTH AND DIE"
This quote is probably the worst pickup line imaginable.
Yuno Gasai becomes dangerously jealous of Yukiteru's interactions and feelings with another character named Tsubaki Kasugano, or "Sixth." To make sure he understands how serious she is about how Yukiteru needs to be a one-woman man, she gives him an ultimatum. Choose her and live. Or choose the other girl and be left to die.
A "choose me or die" mantra is definitely not romantic, no matter how you look at it. This again will only end in loneliness and possibly a criminal record.
