Get Him A Blanket At Least.

Canon Yuu

~~~

I saw a post about Yuu and canon facts about them so I went through all the character voice lines and picked out all the other facts I could find. Some will be a repeat of what’s mentioned in the original post, which you’ll find here. I may update it as the game and manga progress. Some voice lines aren’t translated or in the official wiki yet so I rely on other sources for those.

I hyper fixated HARD on this.

Yuusona Bingo

You have no idea how happy you’re all making me <3333

Yuu likes initiating physical contact. They’ve poked at Riddle and Leona’s tsum a lot. They’ve also poked at Leona, Ortho, Kalim (tickling him in the process), Jack’s sides, Deuce (twice), Floyd, and Epel. Yuu tugged on Riddle’s sleeve during a lab class, Leona while camping, Kalim’s ceremonial robes headdress, Trey’s Halloween veil, Sebek’s sleeve (much to his dismay), and Vil. They’ve pulled at Jack’s ceremonial robes and Ace’s arm. Vil teases Yuu in a voice line saying that he can’t fault their overwhelming desire to touch him given his alluring beauty. They touch Malleus and he teases that if they continue to do so, Sebek would throw a fit. Malleus welcomes Yuu to touch his horns. Yuu also touches him without shrinking in fear. They wanted to touch/hold Jamil’s gala couture corsage, he also asks if touching is customary where Yuu is from. Yuu has almost touched Ortho’s heat exhaust and even managed to tickle him. Yuu kept clinging to Lilia during lab class in hopes he’d tutor them. Floyd called Yuu a barnacle which may suggest they kept clinging to him. They kept touching Jack’s Halloween costume which made him worry the shells would fall off. They pet Cater’s tsum WHILE looking at him, which gave Cater mixed signals. Deuce complained once how they were getting handsy with him. They’ve tickled Floyd—who promised to get them back. They played with Floyd’s tsum. They straightened Epel’s ribbon (Ghost Bride) without warning, Silver’s horned hat during Halloween, and kept flipping open Riddle’s jacket in his Suitor Suit. They scratched under Grim’s chin without asking.

Yuu attends every character’ birthday celebration and always seems to have a good time.

Yuu has a knack for dancing.

Yuu has the habit of staring at other people, just about every character calls them out on it.

Yuu had difficulty with basic lab textbook questions, which may be expected since they’re not from Twisted Wonderland.

Yuu wears makeup, at least to ceremonies.

Yuu thinks the amount of traditional events NRC has is unusual.

Yuu asks for help with studying and homework from their friends—at least the better educated ones.

Yuu appears to be someone who gets anxious at ceremonies. Trey had to tell them to stand still and stay quiet, implying they get fidgety and restless. Ruggie teased Yuu about how they squirmed in preparation for a ceremony. He was also rushed by Yuu who feared they wouldn’t make it to the ceremony in time. Jamil had to guide Yuu in taking deep breaths when they were anxious, he also points out they were fidgety.

Many characters have commented on Yuu’s diligence.

Based on dialogue, Yuu is quick to pass snarky/sarcastic responses.

Yuu seemed to adapt to Twisted Wonderland fairly quickly. When they saw Jack for the first time, they can make a comment about how he has dog ears and a tail in a seemingly (distant?) tone. They never pointed out or questioned Malleus’ horns. Reminder they freaked out when they first saw Grim, before any other character, so they’ve grown accustomed to the strangeness of NRC.

Yuu was once able to play with Leona’s tail. Yuu grabbed Ruggie’s tail during his birthday. They grabbed Jack’s tail, too. They tried to grab Malleus’ tail during Halloween but he wouldn't let them in fear it would send Yuu flying.

There’s a good chance Yuu tends to fall asleep in class. Jack promises to wake them up if they do, commenting that he can’t focus when someone is dozing off next to him. Trey reminds them that he won’t wake them up if they fall asleep. Ace caught Yuu dozing off once.

Yuu isn’t very good at keeping their attire in place. It’s pointed out by a handful of characters, and even in the main story. The hood of their robe was once inside out during a ceremony. The collar of their PE uniform was all wonky. Vil has even said the uniform is a bit too big and makes them look sloppy— and that their labwear was wrinkled. Trey says it looks like the school uniform is wearing them.

Yuu doesn’t really know how to behave/carry themselves in formal situations.

Yuu can either be really perceptive or really oblivious. In a voice line for Riddle’s Suitor Suit, Yuu noticed something different about him but couldn’t figure out what it was until he outwardly said he styled his hair back. But then in a voice line for Ace’s Bloom Birthday, they noticed that he angled the hat differently. (Like seriously, what is with that???)

Yuu had an awful bed-head while camping.

Yuu seemed excited about the Beanfest event. Jack says that they’re “pretty gung-ho” about it. Apparently there’s a tale similar to Beanfest where Yuu hails from. Yuu wanted to team with Azul during the event. Jamil said they were very into it. Vil complimented Yuu’s skills during Beanfest but was quick to shut down their excitement. He also comments that Yuu is surprisingly good at the event. Yuu was confronted by Rook and feigned surrender. Based on other voice lines, it seems Rook hunted Yuu at some point.

It can be interpreted that the freshmen get together at Ramshackle.

In Bloom Birthday voice lines, Yuu got many characters to show them their magic.

Yuu is serious about helping Grim become a great sorcerer.

Yuu is easy to scare, many characters got the drop on them during Halloween. You didn’t seem to get them back with much success.

A few characters comment how/if Yuu has grown used to living in Twisted Wonderland.

Not necessarily a Yuu fact, but Ramshackle gets lots of snow during the winter.

Yuu can come off as a boisterous person at times.

Yuu is not fazed by Riddle’s temper/behavior.

Yuu enjoyed the food Riddle made during the Culinary Crucible and that he might make more for them.

Yuu was energetic at Riddle’s birthday, though his precise wording was “energetic as ever”, implying Yuu is often excitable.

Yuu hid a present for Riddle somewhere in Heartslabyul and in order to find it, he had to solve the answer to a riddle.

Ace regularly invites Yuu to his basketball games.

Yuu commented on Ace’s basketball skills saying that his handling of the ball is slick.

Cater gave Yuu a ticket to the Pop Music Club’s show.

Yuu is apparently homesick, something they confide in Cater with at least twice.

During their visit to the Scalding Sands, Yuu got worn out by the crowds. Cater took them aside to sit and rest.

Cater doesn’t know what’s going through Yuu’s head.

Based on a few voice lines, Yuu is very familiar with Cater. To a point where he reminds them that he is an upperclassman that deserves respect.

For his Bloom Birthday, Deuce got a coupon to use during his birthday month and invited Yuu to use it with him—but to not tell any of the others because it was only meant for two.

Yuu asked Deuce to see his awards from track meets. Deuce was very eager to show them.

Like with Ace, Yuu cheers Deuce in at his tracks meets.

In a Glorious Masquerade line, Deuce asks Yuu to dance.

In a New Year’s line, Deuce says he set aside an item that Yuu wanted.

Ace, Deuce, and Cater are both disappointed to an extent that Yuu isn’t in Heartslabyul.

During his Bloom Birthday, Yuu made Trey a tart. It was either strawberry or chocolate or maybe both!

Yuu told Trey that science was difficult to them, so he decided to show them it could be fun.

In some of his ceremonial robe lines, Leona suggests he and Yuu ditch.

Yuu gave Leona candy during Halloween hoping it might make him happier.

Yuu is relaxed around Leona.

Yuu was very meticulous in slicing a piece of cake for Leona at his own birthday.

Yuu tried to sneak up on Leona to surprise him on his birthday, but he noticed them before they could jump out.

Yuu liked Leona’s gala couture.

Because Grim ate their food during the camp event, they went to Ruggie for spare food.

Ruggie comments on how the other campers can’t pitch a tent or start a fire, this may or may not have included Yuu.

Ruggie has comments that Yuu is a good sense of rhythm.

Ruggie extended an invitation/suggested Yuu to join the Spelldrive Club. He said that even if they’re magicless, there are many tasks a manager can do.

Azul has said Yuu has a tender disposition.

According to Azul, Yuu seems to have a good time during flight class.

Azul doesn’t believe them to have a good singing voice.

Yuu complimented the round framed glasses Azul wore during the Glorious Masquerade event.

Yuu shared some pastries with Azul in Fleur City.

Yuu thought Azul looked good in his masquerade and union birthday outfits.

Jade has teased Yuu, calling them a mischief-maker.

Jade said that Yuu is a curious one and comments on how they somehow always manage to be at the center of everything.

Jade and Yuu took a selfie together during Beanfest.

Yuu wished to climb Mount Molm during the Harveston event, but Jade told them to start with a smaller climb—saying snowy mountains were dangerous.

Yuu isn’t good at plating food. Floyd finds this very funny.

Yuu told Kalim during culinary crucible that they liked his food. But since Kalim’s meals tend to come out a little… crisp and messy, they may just be saying it so as to not hurt his feelings.

Jamil thinks(?) Yuu has an acute sense of smell as they were able to find him preparing a light snack for Kalim.

Yuu thought Jamil was being insincere when he thanked them for celebrating his birthday.

Yuu got a bunch of sauce on their face in the Scalding Sands, something Jamil subtly teased them for.

Yuu sees Jamil as a voice of reason in almost every situation.

Yuu complimented Jamil on his fairy couture which made him feel a little better.

A voice line from Jamil mentions Yuu wears a uniform to school and that it’s “nice in its own right”. This could mean that Yuu’s school uniform is old/a hand-me-down and isn’t necessarily like everyone else’s.

Yuu thinks Rook is a bit odd.

Yuu confided in Rook saying they get embarrassed when they’re sweaty.

Yuu wanted to ride on a horse with Epel during the Ghost Bride event.

Yuu got giddy when it began to snow, a detail Idia pointed out during the Harveston event.

According to Idia, Yuu is a friend to introverts and someone he can count on.

Yuu wanted to wear Idia’s suitor suit attire.

Malleus says Yuu always seems to attract a crowd, but that’s a given since they’re the main character.

In a Glorious Masquerade voice line, Malleus says something along the lines of escorting Yuu for the night and to rely on him to lead their dance.

When Malleus suspects that Fleur City will look different at night, Yuu’s eyes lit up with interest and curiosity.

Yuu found many amusing sights in Fleur City. Malleus says this before commenting “It seems wherever I may go with you, there is never a dull moments to be found.”

Malleus comments that Yuu’s dancing prowess has greatly improved during the Glorious Masquerade.

When Malleus says a plate in the Scalding Sands possesses a recently made design, Yuu tells him that it’s an antique. Either Yuu has studied Scalding Sands history before visiting or the antiques of Twisted Wonderland are similar to those in Yuu’s world.

Malleus once said, maybe sometime in Book Three, that Yuu was not as innocent as their doe-eyes would suggest.

Yuu once wanted to see Malleus dressed in his ceremonial robes, so he wore it just for them.

A line suggests that Yuu lingered around and focused on Malleus during his birthday party.

As thanks for participating in his birthday party, Malleus invited Yuu to visit about ten ruins.

Yuu wanted to hear an earnest proposal from Lilia during the Ghost Bride event.

There’s a very real possibility Lilia gave Yuu a piggyback ride during Halloween.

When Sebek chastised Grim’s gluttonous behavior, Yuu seemingly gave him a dirty look.

Sebek made too much food for himself during Camp Vargas and Yuu was staring at it with a “greedy gleam” in their eyes.

Also during the Camp Vargas event; Yuu would cover their ears when Sebek did roll call.

Yuu MAY have beaten Sebek at party games during his birthday.

Yuu had difficulty handling Harveston sleds, leading Sebek to brag about how he could do so with ease.

Silver has said Yuu worries too much about those around them.

Silver thinks Yuu has some talent with a sword.

Judging by a voice line from Professor Crewel, Yuu isn't that good academically and may be close to failing his class. He also says they and Grim are his biggest troublemakers.

On the contrary, Professor Trein says during the Glorious Masquerade that he doesn’t worry about Yuu and Grim. (I theorize the following: Crewel’s classes are based in magic, a feat Yuu doesn’t have. Therefore they’re likely to sit on the side as Grim does the lessons assigned. But knowing Grim, he causes trouble in class. Since Yuu and Grim count as one student, Crewel assumes that they’re both rowdy. Meanwhile, Yuu is able to participate in Trein’s classes, which are more traditional with studying and tests. Yuu is in tune with this method and can therefore excel, while Grim can’t as he wasn’t raised alongside humans. Crewel gets the wild half and Trein gets the responsible half.)

Yuu has the option to buy woven bands during the Glorious Masquerade event.

I love gobbling on everyone's take on Yuu, it is great!

The diversity of twst OC's is so funny to me cause we have OC's that have accepted their fate and are just chilling, OC's that are genuinely tweaking, as in losing their mind because of all the overblots and the responsibilities pushed upon them by Crowley, OC's that have a love interest on a character from the cast(shipping), OC's that are slightly older then the majority of the cast and act as an older figure to all these troubled teenagers, OC's that are no better than the cast in terms of mental stability and OC's that are a combination of some of the characteristics from above 😭

A non-negligible amount of people in the fandom dislike Grim, but I'll put it out there that I'm one of the 50% of the fandom who actually likes him. Why?

He's ugly. He's stinky. He has no redeeming features. He's a little creature with not even half a brain.

That's it. Unlike me fighting for Malleus' fictional rights, I really don't have anything to say about Grim because he is greedy, he is gluttonous, he's a little dick who has zero self awareness. But he does love the player, and though he has the empathy of a loaf of bread, he pulls through sometimes and shows he's scared of losing them. Like once a year.

And honestly that's enough for me. For all his faults and the amount of shit he puts Yuu through, I still do appreciate the companionship he offers. I like to think Grim's shenanigans make Yuu forget about their homesickness, and give the relief that they're able to make a family in this strange world.

I do understand why people would be sick of him though lol. I had a little experience teaching toddlers when I was a teenager, and I quickly learned that I'm more tolerant than most. That's probably why I can't get mad at him. Grim is worse than most toddlers though, and given he also has the spirit of a cat mixed in, it's really not a surprise that he'd tire out lots of folks. 🤣

But for the curious and can't understand why we love Grim, it's just the silly kind of warmth and companionship he offers. Kind of like why cat lovers have a toxic relationship with their cats who use their arm as a scratch post lol. And honestly it's fine if we don't get understood; affection just comes differently to people.

GRIMMMMMMMMMMM

Hiii just posting this here, I’ll try be more active on here in the future. Im just still very unfamiliar with the layout of this app but here’s a grim drawing 🤲🐟

I was playing Book 6 and I got to that part where Idia was saying what he discovered about Grim and then I was asking myself,

What are the things we know about Grim? Did we find something now? And now with Book 8 coming I'm even more curious about his lore and involvement in the story ( I don't think we saw Grim eating Malleus' blot stone ... yet )

We actually didn't learn anything new about Grim in book 7. Here's what we do know about Grim right now:

Birthday, age, and homeland are unknown.

He is 70 cm tall.

He's considered a first year student in Class A, seat 9.

He can breathe fire, though he tends to lack precision and his magic is sometimes described as "crude" by other characters.

He started the Gastronomy Club. Grim generally enjoys eating, with his favorite food being canned tuna and not disliking anything in particular (seeing as he'll eat even blot stones). His best subject is also listed as "eating".

His pet peeve is taking notes; he is not depicted as particularly studious.

His talent is escaping.

His best subject is Animal Linguistics.

He has a close relationship with Yuu, Ace, and Deuce--especially Yuu. Grim seems to be anxious when the topic of Yuu going home and leaving him alone in Twisted Wonderland comes up.

Crowley calls Grim a "direbeast", but it's not certain what Grim actually is. He does, however, take offense to being called a tanuki (or weasel, in EN).

He likes attention.

His dream is to be a world-class mage someday!

He is unable to recall memories of his family or his past, but reports the following: "I remember wakin' up hungry and alone. It was real cold. I was waitin' out there for someone to come get me for ages. What happened after that again? It's all so foggy..."

Idia confirms in book 6 that even though Grim doesn't seem powerful, there is complex ancient magic layered over each other. This makes it difficult to track blot accumulation. There seems to be "thousand year old" ancient sorcery involved.

Idia theorizes that Grim possesses a curse or a blessing similar to his own family's.

And while we haven't seen Grim eating Malleus's blot stone on screen, there's still definitely ominous implications! The current popular theory seems to posit Grim as a sorcerer's apprentice from long ago.

GRIMMMMM

Home

If he tried harder, would you stay? If he was better, would you stay?

Imagine Grim's overblot.

He's scared, confused. Why does his henchman need to leave?

What's so wrong with their life here? They've got lots of friends. Look how popular the Great Grim is, so Yuu must be popular by association! Lots of tasty food to try. They even got a dorm all their own!

Grim's gonna be a great mage one day and he's gonna be the best mage ever and have as many cans of tuna as he wants for being number one!

Would Yuu stay if he shared his tuna? He'll give them lots! If he's #1 that means he can just get money easily, so he'll be able to pay his henchman lots of money and have a nice place to live. The nicest house they can imagine, it'll make even Leona jealous!

Because he's the Great Grim right?

If his henchman is leaving, so who's gonna cuddle with him now if they come back from yet another overblot fight? Who's gonna patch him up and cheer him up as they help clean up his scrapes. Mind you he had less from the last fight they were in, that means he must be getting better right?

Yuu, who loved him even if he was snarky brat, who would always help him with his homework, not that he needed help mind you, but Grim's such a great boss, that of course his henchman wants him to succeed.

He really picked a great henchman! They're were great! They were pretty smart. Maybe not as smart as Grim, but they had better grades then Deuce at least, and they could cook! Sure they burnt the Mac and cheese once or twice, but he thought the burnt bits were still tasty.

But his henchman and even the great grim himself learned how to cook! He was such a a great boss he even warmed up a can of soup for his henchman who was sick in bed. He remembers hearing soup was good for when you're sick from Trey.

Would they come back if he tried harder? He'll try extra hard not to fall asleep in Trien's class. He'll try not to wiggle so much on the broom during Vargas' class. He's sure he'll get their combined grades up. Because even without magic they're like, the best option for a henchman here in this place. Nobody quiet like them here.

What if they get hurt? Yuu said his purring always made them feel better. Does he need to purr more? Purr harder? He'll try harder so they get sick less. He'll listen better so he gets in less fights and Yuu's not stuck apologizing for his behavior. Yuu could be a little mean sometimes. Okay, Yuu wasn't really mean they were… Um what was the word? Firm? Strict? Oh, they were firm. But they were nice.

Nobody here was as nice as Yuu was. Look how many things they did because they cared about everybody here so much! Because they cared about him so much they almost died and fought the almost end of the world just to bring him HOME.

Home. NRC was his home. Yuu was his home.

Yuu was, no matter how mean he got. No matter when he scratched them and acted nasty. He… He even hurt his henchman. Yuu's arm was injured because of him.

But no matter how bad things got, Yuu was always there to make sure he had a home to go home to.

Ramshackle's home because Yuu is there.

If Yuu's gone. Then where does Grim go? What's the point of being a great mage if the one person who stuck by you this whole time just goes away? Please don't leave him.

Please.

SKY CHILD

Game: Sky: Children of the light

"A child born from pure light, will shine as bright as the stars in a night sky"

I love your Twisted Wonderland AUs and I was wondering...

Can you make one of Magical Girl! Yuu with a Magical Madoka system?

I think her wish gave her something similar to Homura's power of having a pocket dimension and she had a few seeds of suffering with her (two to four would be fine, right?) and that since she arrived she has had to recycle them by reviving one. and again to the witches to be able to use them correctly.

And I can already imagine the problems he will have if Kyuubei comes with him, it would be a real struggle to stop his friends from selling their souls while learning the truth of their world, I can already taste the drama and angst!

So what I'm getting here...is Yuu basically being like Homura at least in the sense that they KNOW Kyubei is full of shit...and has to go around stopping the most EGOTISTICAL TEENAGERS ON THE PLANET from throwing their souls away for superpowers.

Yep, Yuu would Overblot or go full witch from that stress ALONE. I mean JESUS, Grim would try to wish for all the tuna he could eat every other day just to wish to become a great mage and get Kyubei slaughtered by Yuu EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (also wow, now that you bring it up, Madoka Magica Witches are legit Overblots but with absolutely NO WAY to save the victim, that's fucking SAD-)

But on another note...you know how Witch Seeds clean the Soul Gems? What if they could ALSO clean magestones? That could open a whole new door of world-building if these worlds collide.

And honestly, there are SO MANY WAYS things could go wrong if one of the TWST Boys makes a contract. The fact that EVERYONE has trauma or baggage of some kind means the whole descent into Witch territory can be different for EVERYBODY, especially with the factor that their wish is inevitably turned against them in some way.

SO

MANY

TIMELOOPS

And that's MINUS the realization that their soul is no longer in their body, cause that alone is enough to swear off this bullshit in my book.

And the pocket dimension thing, I'm not even gonna touch that cause Rebellion was a whole different fucking beast and the main plot in the show is plenty of angst for now

one page news paper!

Hoping to maybe expand on this idea possibly with the help of others!

want to help make this?

the next edition is out!
