Mirai Nikki 1- 14





Thoughts:  So Far.  This is a little messed up, The main character has a psycho girl stalker who has been watching him for a year {or more}.  Though, She is far more "manly" then he is... He's a been pretty useless and really whiny.  Episode 14, Was probably the first time he manned up.
      Of course there's a lot of blood, death, body parts, explosions and some really freaky characters in general.  It's addictive... I just hope it continues to be "good" and doesn't go bad in the next set of episodes.


Who we have....

Yukiteru Amano - The Main character, Also known as "First".  His Diary is his cell phone and it tells him what is going on around him but not what happens to him.  He's quite talented with darts and with Yuuno's help he was the first to kill one of the other contestants by hitting his diary with a dart.
     He's a pretty weak character so far, Pretending to like Yuno at first just so she would protect him. Before episode 13 he really seemed to be warming up to her.

Yuno Gasai - Crazy stalker girl, She's also known as "Second". Her diary is her cell phone and it tells her what Yuki is doing and all the stalkerish info she needs.  Time and time again she has proven that she is willing to die and kill for Yuki, She can't live without him.   For some reason she has killed both of her parents and in episode 14 has their skulls with her, Which she calls "Mommy" and "Daddy".
     She also gets jealous really easy of anyone else around Yuki...


Diary Holders~

Third -  Takao Hiyama -  Serial Killer - He was a teacher at Yuki's school that figured out that he was a Diary holder.  His Diary is known as the "Murder Diary", It tells him where his intended victim is. He didn't last long, Yuki and Yuno made pretty short work of him but he was seen a little more in a flashback with Ninth.

Fourth - Keigo Kurusu - Cop - He holds the "Investigation" Diary, It too is a cell phone. At first he was friendly with Yuki, Helping he and Yuno with multiple situations... Then suddenly.. He gained interest in becoming "God" when he was told his son only had months to live.
      He went a little crazy at the end, His Diary is pretty much useless unless he's chasing a perp so he had to make Yuno and Yuki criminals before he could track them with it. After a standoff in the hospital his son was in {his wife was there too} he ended up being taken off the police force causing his diary to stop working.
     He destroyed it himself.

Fifth - Reisuke Houjou - Creepy Little Kid - He holds the "Super Vision Diary" in the shape of a coloring book, It only updates three times a day however so it seems a little useless.
     It was after the whole Cult fiasco in episodes 4 and 5, His parents had been killed in the slaughter and somehow Yuki's mother ended up playing babysitter for the psychotic little brat.  I'll give him one thing, He was creative... he tried to poison them with poison filled tomatoes, electrocute Yuno, poison them with gas and yet he failed each time.
   In the end, Yuno kills him.

Sixth - Tsubaki Kasugano - Blind Cult Leader -  Her diary is a little unusual, It's a scroll and it's called the "Clairvoyance Diary" with it she can see the future of her followers. She's had a hard life but then.. Most the Diary users seem to have in one form or another.
     Her parents used her to form a cult, locking her in a cage within a temple.. never allowed to go outside.. Her parents however died in a car crash. The cult members raped her and...who knows what else. It was a hellish life for her.
     At first she pretends to be uninterested in the game but, Her Diary had given her the dead end warning and she wanted Yuki/First to help her break the Dead End. For his help she would turn over the captured Ninth to them/the police.
     After lots of rioting, some zombie-ish fun, a Yuno jealous freak out and tons of body parts flying Sixth turns on Yuki and Yuno and she ends up dead.  Yuki "damages" her Diary.

Ninth - Minene Uryuu - Terrorist - She likes her bombs.  Her Diary is known as the "Escape Diary", It's also in the form of a cell phone and tells her how to escape situations.  She first pops up in episode 2 trying to kill Yuki, She pretty much ends up blowing up his entire school and still ends up escaping.
       She flip flops a lot, She has helped Yuki and she has tried to kill Yuki.  She's actually one of the better characters so far and one of the few users who have shown up and are still alive as of 14.

Tenth - Karyuudo Tsukishima - Wacko Dog Guy -  Owner of the "Breeders Diary", It allows him to control his doggies and see what they are up to.  He's the father of one of Yuki's new  classmates and had been randomly killing potential diary users with his dogs, Thinking one of his daughters classmates had found him out he allowed her {Hinata} use the Diary and go after him..
    Yuki and Yuno wind-up in the middle of it all of course, In the end they "save" Hinata from herself and all is good.. Well not all is good  Fourth ends up killing Tenth.

Twelfth - Yomotsu Hirasaka - Big EyeBall Guy.-  Owner of the "Justice Diary" it's in the form of a voice recorder.  Instead of seeing stuff like Sixth, He hears it.   He's a crazy ass guy, Able to create illusions and hypnosis he thinks he's the Defender of Justice, His Justice...
     When Ninth was on the run from the cops, he's the one who captured and did naughty things to her. Okay, I don't know how naughty but he did pluck her eyeball out.  He's been the funniest character in the show thus far but... Yuno ends up killing him.


More to Come.

Just being 14 episodes in, I am not really sure where this is going. As of episode 14, Yuno and Yuki are no longer "together".  In 13 she pulled a pretty psycho stunt with drugging him, then chaining him to a chair in the basement of a hotel while they were supposed to be going to the mountains to look at stars together.
     Lucky Yuno though, He had made some friends in his new school that had lived through Tenths dog attacks.. One being Tenths daughter.  Hinata, Mao, Akise and Kousaka come to the rescue along with the new cop dealing with the mess {I forgot his name}, Almost being gassed to death in a room in the process.
    Oddly enough with Kousaka's dying post on his very own cell phone Diary, He somehow achieves an "Apprentice Future Diary" status... His Diary is known as the Kousaka King Diary, Since he liked to post about himself doing cool stuff, That's all it does...

Episode 5 has positively been the strangest most screwed up episode yet, All thanks to Twelfth... and the Power Rangers.
