Redesigning Yandere Simulator’s 1980s Mode!

Never posted a video like this before so hopefully it’s okay :) This was actually super fun to do and since I used to be a fan of Yandere Simulator when I was a kid, it kind of healed the inner child in me

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE IDEA OF JOKICHI NOT LIKING GIRLS AND HAVING A SECRET PARTNER OMG????? IT'S DARK BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE

[@yunopinguuu]

agreed! i was afraid to fully keep it in the redesign though, because i didn’t want to disrespect any part of the lgbt community by creating a wrongful depiction :)

[@bigclitenergy]

@@yunopinguuu i would say its not disrespectful at all! but extremely dark in the idea of Ryoba killing multiple people for someone who could never see her like that anyway and that she's already lost so it was all pointless. also in the end him being forced into a completely loveless marriage and having a child despite it all. also how his "best friend" would feel (if he doesnt get killed) in the end i mean WOAHH

[@CilesteAndSheyn]

it's basically Kubz Scout's joke-ish idea of Taro ending up with Budo as a secret ending to the game(he said this idea in passing in one of his old Yandere Simulator Myths episodes)

You could make Jokichi bisexual so the crush on the martial artist can still be a factor butt he marriage still wouldn’t be as dark.

[@Ashy_bo1]

Yeah uhhh she literally kidnaps him and forces him to have a child with her that marriage gonna be dark af anyway

[@kaylaHat]

The rewrite with Saiki and the pointless murder was so great man.. I wanna tuck your art style in and kiss it goodnight, it's so.. AAAAH!! And the desings and rewriting are chef kiss, as a writer and illustrator, i can say you did great it's so good!

thank you so much!! this means alot🩵🩵

i LOVED the idea of jokichi not liking girls i feel its pretty dark also, great drawings this deserves more likes

[@iminthefrogpond]

jokichi having a secret partner makes it all so much more evil i love it 😭 edit - maybe in the near future after ryoba eliminates all her rivals she finds out about their relationship and like hunts down the martial arts guy (jokichi and the guy sent letters to each other before ryoba's trial and she finds them, perhaps ?)

[@lil_doggo_of_doom]

Getting a game over the with the girls confessing wouldn’t make sense then

[@TakashiDemonServant]

Now that I look at it, Alex loves to have the same body type for every girl and also the short skirt is something that people get dress coded for in school.

[@Ryoba__chan]

I mean it's unity model and there probems with anims only female characters who doesn't have short skirts is delinquents girls so it's possible to do longer skirts then I think he could make shy characters have long skirts

[@merusotajio2222]

This is the only thing he got correct , in Japan it's short skirt supremacy not like in other countries , rolling your skirt so it can appear shorter is very popular too , remember we are in Japan not America ! But for the 80s it's true that they had longer skirts at a certain time

[@emandems_]

i think it would be adorable and hilarious if you failed the game and there was a small ending card of jokichi (i dont know if i spelled that right) and the martial arts club leader being boyfriends to add insult to injury

[@YouFoundTheOcarina]

I adore your artstyle, specifically the way you draw eyes. And omg the redesigns are so pretty!!! Jokichi not being into women and being trapped in relationship with one? *chefs kiss* I think it's wonderfully dark and actually very good idea. Especially if this is like conservative, prestigious school in the 80s, so no way he'd be open about it in the first place.

[@yunopinguuu]

i love this comment so much, and thank you so much!!

[@Yayisaday]

2:01 as someone who has mental disabilities and has adhd this inclusion feels so nice as failing at your grades or a test isn’t because u didn’t study it’s just hard , trust me I study a lot and I get maybe 12/30 on most tests

[@yunopinguuu]

i’m glad this made you feel more included!

[@dandelion_dalia]

The saiko logo on the uniform makes sense,cuz the school is owned by the saikos :D

[@leenamauf]

wait i LOVE this Ryoba design!! i like her og design too, but she looks so cute with this smile and with strands of hair that look like horns, i can`t help it :З

[@star_cluster_]

I feel that Jokichi not liking girls is fine but maybe bisexual with strong feelings towards a male crush, or has preferences for guys? Idk

[@meghanrodriguez2393]

I like that idea!

[@Ryoba__chan]

I mean then I could understand why he tries to get girlfriend lmao because as I search up lgbt was not really okay for people in japan until 2009 and jokichi lives in timeline of 1989 he could be just don't want to have male lover instead he would like to have girl partner who he won't love but still it would make him much deep character and explain why he accepts ritsuko's confess

[@script_0529]

Your Soko makes me want a game, book, manga, or series about a detective girl that looks just like them with that exact concept. They have to pretend to love the main guy in order to lure out the killer, however along the way as she's spending more time with him, both characters actually do fall for each other.

[@meghanrodriguez2393]

@@yunopinguuu Epic! No rush though, I'll be enjoying every redesign ✨️

[@eratasutol]

I am definitely very late but I love these designs! And while I love the inclusion of a character being a narcissist (as someone with NPD narcissistic traits being explored), I feel like including it on a character who's a killer is a bit odd? I understand that people with NPD can come off as a whole hivemind of people who strive to harm others, but most people with NPD would not go to the lengths to take someone's life. More so, if they felt necessary, they'd just try and make themselves seem "better" than whoever they see as a rival. But I also feel like her NPD doesn't contribute necessarily to her life endings if I'm understanding your story? Because I also think we should have characters who are bad people and have mental illnesses, because people who are mentally ill are still able to be bad people, it's just not solely their disorder. But I like the idea a lot! It could help contribute to how she makes herself stand out. These redesigns are great and I like the idea of Ryoba having NPD in general!

[@jadecirrus]

[@a_vampireskiss]

I love the idea of Jokichi being secretly gay thanks for the new headcanon !!

[@gunkie]

BTW I LOVE YOUR ART! below is me criticizing storytelling and leaving my own opinion so beware [which is just mine for anyone who reads this im not saying it has to be like this lol] im the only one who hates the idea of the jokichi thing,,,, i personally find it to be an unnecessary addition [and i think if you want evil, or psychological theres a ton of more ways you’d go about that since that doesn’t scratch the surface really? she kidnaps him regardless and manipulates him so they’re not going to be his genuine feelings anyhow, sexuality wouldn’t be a plot point i’d personally consider here if i wanted *dark*. i mean you don’t even have to make him gay for this [for the record im not saying this out of homophobia, im literally queer] so it does feel like its just a way to make him gay. a way you could go about that i suppose though is considering it is the 80s you can make him deathly afraid of someone finding out he’s gay, and she can use this to manipulate him, threatening his secret and could be used for a mind break route. although i personally still don’t love that i don’t think it’d be the worst storytelling! personally i think a way to go about that instead of that is instead of him slowly just getting depressed because of his friends dying, it could be used to make him anxious instead. she could leave hints, make it specific points where it has to be “his fault” he no longer feels like he can speak to anyone and begins to self isolate. this is when she can pick him up from his troubles, while now being closer to manipulate him even more. for the plot point of their marriage being darker, i think by this point he’s already going to have a clear idea of what his wife really is [since…she kidnaps him originally.] his feelings never mattered in this however, only the ideal of their relationship. mind break would be a huge thing for this plot point i feel and especially since they’d need to portray themselves perfectly fine infront of ayano, since i dont think ryoba would want her daughter to necessarily be introduced to their dynamic [and this is also the basis for her to continue the cycle, not see the behind the scenes]

[@yunopinguuu]

It has nothing to do but Its actually canon that sonoko KNOWS that ryoba is a killer, But didn’t said anything out of fear that Ryoba would harm her (because she knew ryoba is capable of hurting her and getting away with it) Because canonically ryoba did enter in the asylum, and after the trial Sonoko and ryoba NEVER talked again

[@crylu2028]

Hey there! I really enjoyed your redesign, your art style is simply wonderful. But there was something that made me a bit uncomfortable with, how you include Ghost Girl ADHD. While I appreciate the attempt to portray a character with ADHD, I noticed that her bad grades were attributed to it, which felt a bit off. It's crucial to acknowledge that ADHD manifests differently for everyone, and using it as a justification might inadvertently reinforce stereotypes. As someone who has lived with ADHD all my life, I've encountered the misconception that having good grades means you don't have ADHD. However, ADHD can also manifest in hyperfocus, leading to forgetting basic needs like eating. I understand you didn't intend any harm, but I'd suggest researching ADHD a bit more. Consider portraying neurodivergent characters without attaching specific reasons or justifications to their traits. Keep up the great work!

[@yunopinguuu]

this is a really good and important topic thank you for taking the time to write this and i totally agree, i didn’t put too much thought into her disability since she is a very minor character but i should’ve stated your point in the video!! i also have adhd and did terribly in school so i tried to relate my experiences with hers but i understand its different for everyone :) i 100% did not mean any harm but i’ll take this feedback into consideration when writing something similar to this in the future🩵🩵

[@stanlin236]

I liked the concept you had in mind for the characters, but Ryoba's redesign didn't convince me, her design made her look like another character. I know it's an Au. In any case, I would have made the protagonist retain certain features that make her see that she is Ryoba.

[@yunopinguuu]

i definitely see your points thank you! i should’ve made her little horns on the top of her head more prominent since that was what i was going for, plus a subtle background character look. but my grown up design of her looks alot more similar to her original design!🩵🩵

[@Applestarbaby]

Honestly I love the idea that he (bisexual) because it a good idea to explain why yandere Chan never had time with her father and once he saw that his daughter was like his mother he abandons his family as he was never attached to family. And it would build character on him.

[@ma.2089]

What does bisexuality have to do with having time with your kid and emotionally neglecting them (I’m assuming you mean neglect and not abandonment since he literally cannot do that)? I can’t believe I’m saying this but Yan dev’s backstory there is better. He actually cares about his daughter and tried to make her not be like the mom, but failed. He doesn’t care about his wife at all, of course. But the idea that him being bi means he wouldn’t care about he has no attachment to family, doesn’t care about his kid, or have time with them is crazy. Him wanting less to do with the kid would be due to it being a forced marriage where he was r*ped. Bisexuality has nothing to do with anything.

[@Applestarbaby]

The designs are good but the backstories are hella confusing. How would the 2nd victim snoop around and make things difficult by searching for a killer if the first kill hasn’t even happened? How would she even know the motive for the killing to pretend to have a crush on a guy? Feels like that character should’ve been much later in the timeline, after a few kills for her to have any idea of a pattern. And you know, would KNOW a killer is on the loose.
