  • Welcome, friends and foes, Survivors and Killers. Today we'll be discussing Yui Kimura (yeah, a Survivor video!) I'll be delving into both her basic backstory and her new piece of lore in Tome VI in my attempts to convince you about just how great Yui's story is and how it should serve as a template for other stories to come.
    Got any suggestions for things you want me to discuss? Leave a comment and I'll add it to my list!

    One detail that I absolutely cannot stop praising is the parallel between the survivor herself, and the killer.
    Yui has defied tradition and became a better person for it
    While Kazan held on to tradition so hard that it turned him into a monster
    It blows my mind how good both of these characters can be when we have the Hag's lore dump as well. The quality seems to be all over the place.

    Comparing Yui to Yun Jin Lee is pretty interesting because in a way they both have the same sort of drive yet it seems that Yun Jin became more selfish because of it. When she grinded to do her dream of music for a living is an abstract way to do it I'll probably dive deeper to see other things I can compare

    • @tibiafibiafie

      Yun Jin Lee was offered the same choice, to be human or a very good machine, and unlike Yui she chose the latter. She knew what Ji Woon was doing and decided to overlook it in favour of her own career.

    Yui has perfect Final Girl energy, which in a game about slashers these kind of survivors need.
    She'd be a great protagonist for an anime or tv show because she has
    1. an interesting skill set.
    2. Understandable and interesting goals and ambitions.
    3. an internal conflict (Empathy vs Ambition) that's reasonable and can be routinely explored.
    4. A history of overcoming dangerous situations
    5. An aesthetic that is both unique but also believable in multiple genres.

    Funnily enough, the entity waits for the perfect moment to take someone, but when Yui is taken, it’s out in the open, random, and in the worst time where Yui hasn’t reached the peak of emotion. Which means that the entity got tired of waiting for it and took them anyway. Which makes it even better.

      Yun Jin and (arguably) Ace would qualify as the former. Yun Jin is an ambitious girl determined to do anything to keep the prestige she worked so hard for, even if it means not coming clean about the suspicions she had of her colleague killing people. And Ace was a gambler with a bounty on his head, given his penchant for swindling.
      As for killers that were once good people: Wraith, Spirit, Plague, Hag and Susie from the legion. Wraith was just tryna make ends meet but was unknowingly killing people for his crimelord boss. Spirit was just a normal school girl who’s abusive father killed her, causing her to become a vengeful onryo. Plague just wanted to help the people who revered her as The High Priestess. Hag was once a human named Lisa Sherwood who was kidnapped and tortured by cannibals. And Susie was just going along with what her friend group was doing, she never wanted to be a murderer.

    I wanna start off by saying I have been enjoying your analysis immensely-- now that DBD lore is being more closely developed, the game world itself feels more alive and immersive, and hopefully creators like you can help steer the developers in the right direction in regards to storytelling.
    I have yet to watch this video on Yui, but I was wondering what your thoughts might be on the lore of Kate Denson, as she was revealed to have some sort of special ability/connection to the entity's realm. Élodie remains at the top for me, but I also very much enjoyed Kate's tome.
    Edit: I have watched the video and once more I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Truly, even after completing the third chapter in this tome, I was not keen on Yui's backstory... but you have made me appreciate this woman so much more now. Actually, I think I might prestige her next and make her my new main!

    Okay, regarding the part with the "Dark Ages" of DbD and the mention, that Survivors are basically glorified skins - does something speak against making the Survivors unique? Because it always bothered me, that they are simply skins for each other and there's not real reason to play a specific Survivor in a specific way like you do as a Killer.
    I'm not talking about things that are already in place, like some Survivors being quieter than others; that's a minuscule difference that is easily outplayed by Killer-perks. I'm talking about making Survivors just as unique as the Killers.
    My first thought was, to just lock the Survivor-specific perks to each Survivor, but that would alter the gameplay way too much. So I think, maybe giving a Survivor either one or a set of small powers that can be acitvated once per game. (in the case of a set, you have to choose one before a trial) The powers obviously shouldn't be so gamechanging like Killer-powers, but I think giving each Survivor something unique only they can use would improve them.

    I absolutely loved this video; as a Yui main I was always so encaptivated by her story and paired up with her overall racer-aesthetic cosmetics, she just seemed great. I honestly don't like the Tome since the backstories are locked away by how many hours you pour into the challenges; so I appreciate these videos so much because it not only gives a deeper analysis to their backstories, but it also provides me with their lore without having the need to stress myself with the challenges. Regardless of that, I found myself loving your depiction of her struggle against her own desires to win; as well as your thoughts and opinions to those who deemed her original backstory as one pandering towards a gender-war.

      How?
      For all of it's rampant wokeism, Yui is remarkably one note - even more so than characters that no lore, like Meg - she starts at Point A and remains there. She just meanders around Point A to create the illusion of journey progression and character development, sadly this is a writing technique that often fools pseudo intellectuals analysing the work.
      But the most glaring piece of BS done bad is the fight with stalker, it's so egregious that I think Jussie Smollet might have wrote it. Her attacker isn't incapacitated in anyway merely disarmed, adrenaline might numb pain and provide a burst of strength but it ain't going to do jack for movement. Her broken limbs would still no use to her, even with the adrenaline flood.
      Expecting the audience to believe that she won a fight against an assailant with 2 broken limbs, requires a level of suspension of disbelief that even Star Wars doesn't demand. No matter how good subsequent lore is, it never able to pull the rest of the mire that this misstep has created.

    I think some of this is also reflected when she was trapped in a cycle in the fog where she constantly drove past crashed racers before later becoming one of them, which was mentioned in the tome. I also think it’s interesting that she has visions of Kazan, a samurai who also had an obsession that drove him forward; a loose parallel. She didn’t want to be like him.
    It also makes me wonder what if she actually is related to Rin & Kazan? Maybe like a cousin? Since she dreamt and felt him before her going into the realm. I suppose you could argue that’s because of the Entity though.

    That video on Your channel was my dream. I love Yui and I really enjoyed that Lore Deep Dive. I'am personally tied to her because everytime when I readed Her story I felt like I was reading about myself. I mean Her character is the same like mine and I also see that She have same type of life struggles, goals and lifestyle like Me. That's why this tome was for me the most important in archives. I have so strong bond with Her that I want make some references to Her in my own personality and life. To be honest I'm really thankful for that video cause I finished Her archive story 2 days ago and I really needed some serious analyse about her.

My favorite survivor will always be Jeff, just because I relate with him so much and I love his style (maybe a vid on him someday?) but in all honestly I got really touched by this video listening about Yui, that empathy quote really resonates with me. Listening to her story almost felt like listening to a documentary, she just seems so human and I love it. She is probably my second favorite survivor now

    great video! I honestly never looked twice at Yui until you pointed out the strengths in her character. I know you have a lot of requests but It would be cool if you could take a look at Feng Min. I'm quite obsessed with her for no particular reason, I think I've absorbed every single scrap of her lore. It would be interesting to hear what you think. Behavior since her launch hasn't given her anything new when it comes to lore, not even in cosmetic descriptions. I know you touched on her briefly in your video "Who is the Protagonist of Dead by Daylight," but I would enjoy an in depth look at her. sorry for the long comment lol, I just don't want to be overlooked.

  • @YThates
    @YThates 3 года назад +1

    Yui is my favorite survivor, she's the one I relate to the hardest story wise. Upbringing, going against tradition, even down to the kind of jobs she first held, and doing unconventional things for a female as her career choice and being independent while doing so. Next to her I like Kate's backstory though I feel the tome version of Kate's story sucked. Your video gave me a lot of insight and honestly made me feel a lot more relateable with Yui and I respect the writing that went into her story more, even if you ended up just making it seem deeper than the actual writers meant to make it seem. I am also a huge fan of the silent hill ladies cause I've been a silent hill nerd since I was a kid playing games on dreamcast and PS2, but I won't count it with the dbd characters.

  • @jedidragonking5070
    @jedidragonking5070 3 года назад +1

    As someone still new to Dead by Daylight, and someone who is otherwise a Kate simp (plus a simp for other certain Survivor and Killer ladies), GODDAMN does this breakdown make me love and respect Yui as an individual. A hardcore desire to win tempered by empathy, and a sense of great self-awareness that helps her grow and improve, there is nothing to hate about her. With all this in mind, I would love to befriend her if the Entity took me into it's accursed realm, perhaps more.
    Also I think the Oni's backstory and hers makes their pairing as Survivor and Killer a perfect fit. She rebels against the kind of tradition that stifles human freedom, fights to win, and does so in a way that doesn't compromise her goodness and humanity, and he gave his life, honor, and humanity to his obsessive need to uphold tradition at any cost, since he saw compromising on it as certain doom for his family and their way of life. Libetarian vs Reactionary, Freedom vs Tradition, honor vs dishonor, and humanity vs the lack thereof. A match made in hell, but a perfect adversarial relationship as they are polar opposites in just about every way (yes, even gender) while having a similar cultural background. Their pairing and chapter truly does represent the point where Behavior started caring about lore, and boy did they have a strong start.
    Very good video, Pixel Bush. You've fleshed out Yui's character for this humble newbie in such a way as to make me love her perhaps just as much as Kate Denson. As always, I eagerly await the next lore breakdown. Cheers, m8!

    Interesting... I interpreted the end of the animation to mean that the winning racer just came back to show Yui that he won, to rub it in her face, and her being like "eh... whatever, I guess that's fine." But I suppose your interpretation might make more sense.

    @dustinsaunders314 3 года назад

    As much as I enjoy this story of Yui. I was hoping for a darker piece of lore that hints at some more unexplored aspects of the dbd universe. I assumed they were leading us to theme of a snapshot of a killer while they are still human. Yui through her drive to be on top and live would eventually succumb and take the power role and work for the entity. This would not happen in the lore but would show us the picture that would eventually be painted. I hope sometime soon we get a genuinely deplorable Survivor or at least one with dark hidden aspects not yet realized. Maybe this new girl being added will tango with this idea. I have not read much of any of her lore so I guess we will see.

  • @Darkjonny79
    @Darkjonny79 3 года назад

    You know, this might have just added Yui to the list of Survivors I believe can escape the Entity. I believe she'll go back for someone and get seriously hurt because of it. There is a good chance that she will end up sacrificing herself so that someone else can escape. Should she escape however, she may not race again, if not for a while, unless her wounds do slowly heal.

  • @jesusjohansen422
    @jesusjohansen422 2 года назад

    I feel like having the Oni be one of yui's ancestors would of been a interesting thing. Yui would of been the only person apart of the Kimura family to break the cycle of violence and hate when she forfeits the race to save someone she hates. From Kazan (the oni) the bloodline of violence would continue until yui comes and shatters the cycle. Ending the kimura name that was ever so associated with Kazan and the people after him. and yui her own person and all the others after. Turning their backs on the old Kimura name and starting over.

  • @BellowDGaming
    @BellowDGaming 3 года назад

    Yui defied his father and tradition to become a self made woman, but doesn't succumb to become like the Oni. Which reminds me of the movie Whiplash, where a person is driven to perfection of it's craft the humanity is lost, where as in Yui actually grew and fought that "machine" metaphorically the Oni who embraced the perfection. The Oni in contrast is like Akuma/Gouki in Street Fighter who strived to become the best fighter which as you can see his lost his humanity while Ryu being tempted and consumed by the dark hado, fights it off and instead of becoming a demon like Akuma, he became a better fighter always striving even when losing as his quote says it "It's not the victory, but what you get and learned out from the fight". Japanese stories are the best!

    Hi! So I have some suggestions for possible future? Or just little dust just to think about. So, if you ever got the rights and chance to rewrite or expand lores of older survivours and killers - Dwight, Jake, Meg, Claudette, Trapper, Hillbilly, Wraith - how would they look like, the lores? Let's be honest, even with some tomes chapter, they are lacking that *love spark* , yes there are some patrs(not many) when you can say, who the survivor/killer is, what was their deal in the real world and what they had done to end in the realm of Entity... But there can be do more with that. I would love to see your point of view, maybe a retrospect on the survivor/killer or idk, "my idea for improving {insert name} lore." And I am pushing it into extreme mode, creating a parallel between survivor and the killer, like it is with each upcoming chapter, yui and kazan, ph and heather/cheryl, felix and talbot, elodie and twins. It's a long one, and I am sorry for my bad english, not native language# but I truly enjoy your content and I am waiting patiently for more. Please have a good day or night, enjoy your work and stay safe. Bye~
