my friend said his sudden nails growth is supposed to be a "predator" reference killer queen is basically a catman, kira seems to be found of cats and acts as one so his nails grow just like one when excited to hunt
also he might not have suffered from any trauma or hardships but the lack of empathy for other's life and I believe specially because of obtaining a stand made him grow into this mentality of "nobody could ever possibly catch me, why wouldn't I do bad things"
Yeah his nails growing rapidly are supposed to evoke a cats claws unsheathing as it prepares for the kill. The fact that this is involuntary for Kira indicating that his need to kill is a compulsion rather than an instinct or conscious decision.
I swear to god, you say you're giving his background, say he's 33 years old, and then don't follow it up with "he lives in the Northeast section of morioh, where all the villas are"?
Diavolo killed to protect his identity and continue his life of crime, abusing kids, assaulting and extorting citizens&businesses and selling drugs to the poor. He wasn't just "protecting himself." I would be more inclined to be more sympathetic to Valentine than him. Kira to a lesser extent since he is a serial killer but he picked off one victim and not a slew of them at a time, a lesser evil, but still despicable.
I always found it ironic, Kira had always said that destiny was on his side, yet, he had a hand fetish, something he couldn't control, something that he was given by his destiny.
@@cutecommie Eh, he's a middle class dude; he wouldn't be able to afford the money or the bother of buying these gigantic bricks, maybe... and there were no images back then I don't think, on the Internet
It cannot be overstated that the little disclaimers on these videos: "don't play home psychologist" kinda things, are absolutely on point, thank you so much for including them. Pro
He should have taken his own advice... lol. The stuff on OCD is really fucked up and inaccurate and kind of an offensive association, especially implying that the hand fetish is because of OCD. Can't believe he would suggest that people that are plagued with violent OCD symptoms would ever actually act on them, when your fear that you would accidentally hurt someone is literally what drives the OCD.
@@sashalofstrom6659 I'm not going to watch the video again 6 months later to reply but I would imagine the video didn't state his violence was a result of his OCD. Just that there was comorbidity.
Benjamin Anderson its not really OCD, its the way OCD interpolates with his (lack of) moral compasses and accentuates his crazy and scary qualities. its not trying to associate OCD with psychopathy or murderous tendencies etc, just the way that OCD can be a factor when mixed with a BUNCH of other problems and obviously, his sociopathic, creepy tendencies.
@@sashalofstrom6659 normaly yes, they wouldn't act on them. But ocd combined with a complete lack of empathy and a moral compass makes for a dangerous person
@@sashalofstrom6659 As a psychologist myself, you didn't paid attention to the video. He clearly said that the OCD x APD both interacted and make themself worst. And yes, that could happen. Specially when Kira suffered form bullying and mistreads from his mother ( hence the way he threat women)
Well in the current part of the Jojo manga which plays in an AU his fathe ris dead and his mother is alive and that had a big impact on how he turned out.
@unknowning unknown no of course not, but depending on how he was raised he could have been taught better methods to cope with his disorders. OCD runs in my family and because of that I know firsthand that its largely about taking baby steps to defy and ween off those compulsions, in order to lessen it's grip on you. Conversely, the more you feed it, the stricter and more demanding it becomes. I often compare it to addiction when trying to explain it, if that helps.
What's interesting is that in Dead Man's Questions where Kira has his memories wiped , he becomes a COMPLETELY different person. Somewhat responsible, more conciuss of others and their needs, his opsessive compulsive disorder is basically gone and most importantly he feels no desire to kill despite his proffession in purgatory etc So I wonder , was Kira REALLY born with his tastes as he claims or was it a result of his peculiar childhood or a bit of both.
Honestly I want to say thank you for the disclaimer of mental illness at the beginning of the video. Warning others Not to play as a psychologist and diagnose people with symptoms found in your videos or jojo. I know a person ( a huge jojo fan) in one of my classes that tried to explain to someone that he could have DID because he saw "symptoms" related to Doppio. It's really stupid.
Yeah I agree, when you only have half the information in order to create a complete explanation you have to make assumptions, and 9 times outta 10 they do more harm than good. And frankly it's insulting when some rando starts telling you how you can and can't feel, what you are and what you aren't, etc when they know nothing about you or what they're talking about in the first place

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.)
i love kira for 3 reason. 1. he is david bowie's reference(love him) 2.his stand is one of my fav song reference(by freddie mercury) 3.I fucking love cats
I love how thoughtfully you approach mental illness. As a Psychology major myself I know how complex mentall illness is, but a lot of people who aren't psych majors and even some who are don't approach it well at all. 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!
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.
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.
@@tylerlackey1175 Yeah but just because he tried to justify it as such doesn't mean it's the case, especially since he's always been a complete loner it'd make complete sense for him to deny the slightest hint of actually feeling affection for a woman, who she is and not just her hands.
共産ロリ honestly, a dude watching his parents through a camera in their bedroom is one of the creepiest shit I've seen in that part. Like ngl. Hayato was smart but he was damn near abnormal.
@@shatakshis4405 hayato was probably most psychologically wrong kid character in all animes I've seen. By kids I mean really kids with pretty normal average life, I don't take into account some paranormal thins
There's a part of the song Sheer Heart Attack that says "it was your DNA that made you this way", I wonder if Araki actually intended this to relate to Kira's background somehow... maybe his dad had APD, and his mom (who Araki said was overprotective of Kira) had OCD, and then both disorders passed on to Kira...
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. When they're put under pressure, that facade collapses and they become "vessels of obsessive compulsions" as she put it.
As someone who has confirmed pure-O OCD I’m happy you made that disclaimer because I’m definitely not violent and fears violated. Although my pure-O was more severe in the past and is now a lot less severe
I got goosebumps when you said “it often brings a friend, that can make it worse,” because that’s so true. I have chills from how that reminds me of my own mental illness.
Bites the dust is a pretty dang powerful ability. If Kira was smart he wouldn’t have revealed his hand too early. Being cocky is what got him found, and ironically not standing out is what got him killed.
You know, when I think about it. In part 8 Jojollion where the alternate Kira is part of the Joestar bloodline. He keeps the obsession of hands but doesn't murder women to take their hands that rot by time and takes and murders another one but instead he creates molds or perfect/almost perfect replicates of women hands You know if the original Kira did this then he finally achieved a peaceful and quiet life while he's going with his fetish using molded female hands.
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.
OCD was one of the first things that came to mind when Kira took the spotlight, especially when he told Shigechi his habits and other information before killing him.
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.
I love how Ocean Man gives all those disclaimers before doing a psychological analysis of a fictional character while people like Shane Dawson don't give a shit and just theorize about real people being sociopaths.
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.
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.
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.
i’m planning on majoring in psychology when i head to college in a few months, so this video was a really fun way to prepare my learning gears (after not learning anything for 3 months during quarantine). great video :-)
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
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.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
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.
Araki said somewhere once that Kira’s mother was abusive, and that his father didn’t do much to stop it. He felt guilty about that later on, hence the lengths he went to help Kira out by the time we meet him.
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.)

I had hoped you'd comment on Kira beginning to develop feelings for Shinobu but that aside very awesome and Informative video all around
Kira even contemplated if it was real or if it was just to further assimilate into kosakus life to stay hidden
@@tylerlackey1175 Yeah but just because he tried to justify it as such doesn't mean it's the case, especially since he's always been a complete loner it'd make complete sense for him to deny the slightest hint of actually feeling affection for a woman, who she is and not just her hands.
@@agares1000hits If only Hayato hadn't been the kind of kid who surveils his parents. What were the odds?
共産ロリ honestly, a dude watching his parents through a camera in their bedroom is one of the creepiest shit I've seen in that part. Like ngl. Hayato was smart but he was damn near abnormal.
@@shatakshis4405 hayato was probably most psychologically wrong kid character in all animes I've seen. By kids I mean really kids with pretty normal average life, I don't take into account some paranormal thins
There's a part of the song Sheer Heart Attack that says "it was your DNA that made you this way", I wonder if Araki actually intended this to relate to Kira's background somehow... maybe his dad had APD, and his mom (who Araki said was overprotective of Kira) had OCD, and then both disorders passed on to Kira...
Just like One for all .. Right..
@@SinPandoaa what????????
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. When they're put under pressure, that facade collapses and they become "vessels of obsessive compulsions" as she put it.

I love how he has a bunch of super calming backgrounds while talking about a serial killer with a hand fetish
It fit’s kira’s calming yet disturbing presence.
As someone who has confirmed pure-O OCD I’m happy you made that disclaimer because I’m definitely not violent and fears violated.
Although my pure-O was more severe in the past and is now a lot less severe
Your disclaimer was super well-made and I wanted you to receive praise for putting it in the video.
I got goosebumps when you said “it often brings a friend, that can make it worse,” because that’s so true. I have chills from how that reminds me of my own mental illness.
Fuck off
The fascination of Kira Never ends .. bastard is intriguing
Bites the dust is a pretty dang powerful ability. If Kira was smart he wouldn’t have revealed his hand too early. Being cocky is what got him found, and ironically not standing out is what got him killed.

You know, when I think about it. In part 8 Jojollion where the alternate Kira is part of the Joestar bloodline. He keeps the obsession of hands but doesn't murder women to take their hands that rot by time and takes and murders another one but instead he creates molds or perfect/almost perfect replicates of women hands
You know if the original Kira did this then he finally achieved a peaceful and quiet life while he's going with his fetish using molded female hands.
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.
Oh man, he's just like me...
@@illseeyaonthedarksideofthemoon you're perfect.
I know for a FACT this dude did not just say “Joe’s Bizarre Adventure”
OCD was one of the first things that came to mind when Kira took the spotlight, especially when he told Shigechi his habits and other information before killing him.
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.
As someone who has OCD and Kira as their fav character, it makes me kinda happy to headcanon him having OCD as well
I mean, it was kinda obvious
I love how Ocean Man gives all those disclaimers before doing a psychological analysis of a fictional character while people like Shane Dawson don't give a shit and just theorize about real people being sociopaths.
Im sure that shane puts disclaimers too
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.
Kira in fact is overall normal, but his obsession with hands ruins everything. lmao
You cant just blow everyone up and expect to get away with it!!
Kira: haha Shigechi go BOOOMM
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.
Well shit because I have most of these things

Here ya go!

Honestly thank you for this I was kinda bored today
In the outside, Kira is not that interesting, but looking deeper, I have fallen in love with who he truly is
I thought the nail thing was mostly a reference to his cat themes. It represents retracting claws
Kira is the best villain of Jojo, i love him
@vvex Who is he ?, i not read the manga
Oceaniz making a video on my favourite Jojo villain. Best day ever.
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.
i’m planning on majoring in psychology when i head to college in a few months, so this video was a really fun way to prepare my learning gears (after not learning anything for 3 months during quarantine). great video :-)
12:52 I thought Yoshihiro wanted his son to just live his life and support him, and that that would go beyond anything.
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
As someone who suffers from OCD I understand now why I love Kira so much and why I Relate to him
great vidoe on kira! my 2nd favorite villain behind dracula and infront of Vader
The man just wants a quiet life....
Oceaniz: *talks about OCD* -> *plays Overhaul's theme*
"Hop into your ambulance as we explore the mind of Moriohs Resident Murderer, Yoshikage Kira"
haha , i get it
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for analyzing this. I, Yoshikage Kira, am honored.
@Gumballed Excuse me?
I was just about to watch your analysis on Diavolo again LOL
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.
@Red Eagle Yes, but not his mother. The absence of a mother in a child life can be very harmful to the kid.
"We get an indication that his nail growth has been going on for much longer"
Yes, the floor here is made out of floor

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Overhaul theme on a Jojo video? a surprise to be sure
You deserve a lot more views on your videos.
ok, now the hard part

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.

I was just talking about him lol
Araki said somewhere once that Kira’s mother was abusive, and that his father didn’t do much to stop it. He felt guilty about that later on, hence the lengths he went to help Kira out by the time we meet him.
Shining, Justice!
This is such a well crafted video

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.)
The moment when you start speculating that you yourself have OCD, confront a psychologist about it, and they actually confirm it.
