According to Araki in an interview, he had a backstory planned for Kira in which his mother abused him. Araki didn't include it because he thought it'd be too dark, -even though Kira is literally a serial killer with a hand fetish-, but he always had it planned. Basically, it's canon but never mentioned. In this backstory, Kira's father turned a blind eye to the abuse and felt horrible afterwards. This is probably why he is so protective of Kira, even after death. Araki said that the picture of Kira with his parents was supposed to be a hint that something in his family life wasn't wrong. (Possibly in reference to Tendy Bundy's strange relationship with his mother.)

You were/are a psych major as well and you also put a lot of thought into these videos on the psychology of certain characters. Keep up the amazing work!

[@MTMiPower]

I don't know if anyone else pointed this out but might as well say it here. I remember the chase opening where after Yukako Yamagishi & Aya Tsuji scene it transition to two hands holding each other, the one slightly smaller then the other must've been a young Yoshikage Kira and the other one might as well belong to his mother since she raised him in an elderly age and the sleeve hint an old fashion. After the image changed into an Older Yoshikage Kira holding a severed hand (leaving the his mother status unknown). Then shows images of his father Yoshihiro Kira looking down while holding what looks to be the stand arrow but I believe he was actually holding a shovel. Looking down several times helping his one and only son hide his dark secret from the world by burying his early victims, the last picture on the bottom right shows him looking at his son trying to figure out what to do for him and that's getting him a stand. I want to think his father has the highest pride for his only son and will do anything for him but whats strange is Yoshikage Kira hardly cared or acknowledge his father's support and his second n'last departure. I do believe his parents played a huge role on Yoshikage Kira's mental illness. They're old, they've either tried their best to have a child in their early age but failed many times or they wanted to save enough money to have their own house to raise a child free from poverty and financially supported. (Hints Yoshikage Kira lives in his parents home) Some Japanese families give their single child a hard time growing up, having high expectations for them achieve success to live a happy life; and Kira's parents knew they weren't going to live long enough to see their son as a grown adult. So maybe his parents left out some key lessons in life and Yoshikage Kira had to make up his own decisions and grow to become the figure we all know him as.

[@sarahfreudx]

I forgot which video I saw, but they claimed Araki was hinting that his mother abused Yoshikage, with his father just watching it happen. Therefore, when his mother died, his father stepped up to make up for the time he allowed his wife to abuse their son. Yet, the only thing Araki hinted at, was the age of his parents, being older than an average parent age. So I'm not sure completely.

I actually found out that Kira's personality (or should we say mental state) goes along with what forensic psychiatrist Helen Morrison concluded in her research. She theorized that serial killers do not have personality at all, just different parts of it taken from different places that allows them to function.

Thank you SO much for explaining OCD in an educated and easy to understand way, it’s misconstrued so often. In addition to your description of ocd thoughts or obessions being violent/ sexual, those thoughts are repeated by anxiety, especially by people who don’t even want the thoughts. So if someone describes these symptoms, that doesn’t automatically make them actually attracted to it, (far from Kira’s case) but for the normal person with these ocd symptoms it is often really stressful and confusing for them. (I would know because I’ve dealt with ocd in my own life) So please show understanding towards people who suffer from this disorder.

As someone who has been professionally diagnosed with OCD, I have to say, I've always seen Kira as someone who exhibits a lot of the same symptoms as me. (I don't murder anyone though, lol.) but in terms of his strict daily routine, and how he gets antsy and disturbed when his compulsive tasks haven't been reached is really relatable. However, his violent and sexual urges are the only symptom that I don't personally have, though I don't doubt it is a symptom in more serious cases of OCD.

You can even see some aspects of Kira's OCD in his stand. Killer Queen was created out of the desire for Kira to live his peaceful life. When Killer Queen blows up a person they are erased with no trace of them being left behind, this can be seen as a person with OCD fixing the problems that may plague their meticulous routine. Even Sheer Heart Attack shows aspects of OCD. SHA will hunt down its target no matter what until its target is blown up. However it has a compulsion to first attack the hottest thing around it first before going back to its target. Similar to how a person who suffers from OCD might have to wash their hands after doing something before they can go to their next task.

[@Vena0505]

Instead of OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorer), I think you should’ve said OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder). They are two different things. To be officially diagnosed with OCPD, you need 4 (or more) of the following: 1. Is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost 2. Shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met) 3. Is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity) 4. Is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification) 5. Is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value 6. Is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things 7. Adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes 8. Shows significant rigidity and stubbornness I think Yoshikage Kira definately has at least 5 of these.

There's actually an interview with Araki that mentions how he planned on including Kira's childhood, but since it was so dark he only left hints to it throughout the series! Namely, the family portrait was supposed to be a red flag that Kira's childhood was abnormal, and thus unhealthy. The backstory Araki planned to include involved Kira being abused by his mother, who was enabled by her husband. Thus after her husband died, Kira's father felt so much remorse for his failure to protect his son while he was alive, that he decided to do whatever it took to protect his son from beyond the grave.

[@axiodile4623]

With the point about Kira's childhood, it's worth noting Araki went into more detail on it in the Jump Remix P4 Vol. 27 interview having him state that Kira's mother seems to have provided "abusive coddling" which could have affected his mental state. It's worth taking as canon information, considering Araki notes the only reason he didn't delve into Kira's backstory more was to avoid him becoming overly sympathetic.

[@r.javanainen8947]

i just want to go back in time and get Kira, Dio,and Doppio to go to therapy. would save everyone a lot of time and suffering.

[@TheElie79]

Overhauls theme from MHA fits Kira so well. Nice one.

[@ilanselaphiel2557]

The thing you didn't notice is: His parents were old. It could mean that they died when he was still very young. I think that due to his parents death, Kira didn't had emotional support during his childhood. The fact he developed a fetish for women's hand could indicate a need for motherly contact.

[@ilanselaphiel2557]

@Red Eagle Yes, but not his mother. The absence of a mother in a child life can be very harmful to the kid.

[@-_-anxiety6177]

[@TheMightyN]

10:20-12:57 I'll tell you why since it was confirmed by Araki at some point, as the official Jojo's Bizarre Adventure acknowledged this. It turns out that the Kira household was more dysfunctional than we were led to believe. Kira's father, Yoshihiro Kira is actually a simp, and his wife was a bitch; he allowed his wife to abuse their son for years until he came of age. Filled with guilt, even after death, Yoshihiro would use his stand 'Heart Father' look over Yoshikage. This is exemplified when he sympathizes with his son, mentioning he would never let anyone hurt him again. Parental abuse is commonly associated with a person's mental state and their reasons for killing and raping their victims. It is no surprise that Yoshikage Kira attached to womanly hands for his mother never gave him the same affection. The reason Araki did not reveal this sooner is that he didn't want his readers to sympathize with Yoshikage Kira.

[@Someone-em8xd]

5:05 isn't that basically DIO's personality?

[@kaitoshadow8135]

One fact that was practically canonized by araki is that Kira had an abusive mother,and his father did nothing about it,that is why the old man protected his son so much after his death,out of regret for not protecting him before,I don't know if it helps to explain why Kira is this way,but I hope it does

Video: The psychology of Yoshikage Kira Me before watching video: I wonder if this video will have anything involving his victims Me after watching video: why the **** does nobody ever talk about the type(s of) people he's killed when they talk about his psychology?!?! (Not that I'm saying the video is bad or anything. I actually quite enjoyed it.)

[@AlejandroCastilloRapper]
