Biography

Yuno Gasai (Japanese: 我妻 由乃, Hepburn: Gasai Yuno) was a female human who was abandoned at an orphanage as a baby where she was adopted by Ushio Gasai and Saika Gasai who both came from banker families. The first years of her life were noted to had been happy and carefree but this changed when her parents began to experience financial problems. This led to a stark change in their behaviour as they stared to abuse Yuno leading to them locking her in a cage whilst timing all her activities from sleep to eating. The constant abuse and the psychological stresses came to be too much for her where she came to make use of a distraction to escape from her parents. Yuno then came to trap her parents in a cage and locked them inside of it. Unconsciously, Yuno began to neglect her parents which resulted in them starving to death as a result with her hiding their deaths by claiming that they were overseas for work. Following her parents death, she continued to attend school with no one aware of the events that happened in her home and believed that both her mother along with her father were still alive. During this time, she attended class where she was asked to complete a survey about her dream of the future. Yuno struggled to complete the survey and noticed a fellow student being the only other one to remain in the class. This was Yukiteru Amano and approached him to ask him if he was having trouble with the survey as she similarly struggled with it. She incidentally read what Amano wrote where he wrote a single line that said that his parents were going through a divorce. Gasai commented that she was sorry to hear that and apologized for reading it but Amano did not mind. He explained that his dream was to go stargazing with his family as his father bought a telescope recently. Yuno offered that he could go with her as she had an observatory near her home and always wanted to go there. Yukiteru told her that it was not the same without his family to which Yuno told him that he was making it more complicated. She then wrote on his survey that the two of them could be a family if they were married. Amano simply smiled where he said that they would have to wait till they were older to which Gasai was very happy. This led to her developing a fixation on Yukiteru as she held him to be the love of her life and that the two would be married in the future based on that encounter.

Already having her diary, Yuno kept an eye on Yukiteru until April 23rd when Deus activated the survival game. On April 24th, Yuno realizes Yukiteru has gained his Future Diary and creates a clay model of Muru Muru on her desk as clue to Yukiteru that both of them are Future Diary Owners and that Deus is not imaginary. She then approaches him after school. Yukiteru runs off in terror, much to Yuno's surprise, until he flees into an elevator of a building. Yuno catches up and joins him in the elevator to save him from the Third. Yukiteru tries to pull out a throwing dart to defend himself, only for Yuno to kiss him full on the mouth, stopping him. Yuno explains the survival game, how she and Third are diary owners, and reveals that her phone focuses entirely on Yukiteru's actions. She averts Yukiteru's future by sending the elevator to the top floor instead of the fourteenth, where Third would have killed him had she not intervened. On the roof Yuno swiftly formulates a plan and instructs Yukiteru to destroy Third's diary using his throwing darts. They hide when Third appears on the roof. Yuno catches Third off guard when she runs out in front of him, allowing Yukiteru to throw a dart and pierce Third's phone, erasing him from existence. Later, Yuno, Yukiteru and the other diary owners are gathered by Deus who explained the rules of the game. Afterwards, Yukiteru finds himself alone in the Cathedral of Causality, Yuno appearing behind him and vows to protect him no matter what, terrifying Yukiteru with her adoring look of joy.

After sending forty text messages to Yukiteru, Yuno is thrilled to be in his company again. The next day, Yukiteru approaches Yuno to ask for help in the game, although she departs to a P.E. class with the promise to talk to him later. However, Minene Uryu, the Ninth diary owner, arrives to kill Yukiteru. Yuno attacks her with a fire extinguisher and manages to save Yukiteru from the first bomb exploding in the middle school. Yuno promises Yukiteru to protect him. Afraid of dying, Yukiteru plays along with Yuno in order to protect himself and the two share a kiss. Sneaking through the school, the duo use their diaries to evade most of Minene's bombs but eventually are lured into a trap and caught in a blast. They survive but Yukiteru laments over his decision to be a bystander, however, Yuno reveals she has been watching him for a while and promises him that the other students and staff members are his friends. The two make it to the other side of the school, only for several students including Ouji Kosaka to ambush Yukiteru and drag him outside to be sacrificed to Minene. Yuno is taken into a classroom where she watches Yukiteru falling into despair. Realising she lied to Yukiteru, Yuno vows to protect him. She frees herself from her captors and races out of the school, causing all of the motion-sensor bombs to go off until she eventually leaps out a window and tries to launch a surprise attack on Minene. At this point, Kurusu Keigo, the Fourth diary owner, has arrived to aid Yukiteru. Yukiteru charges at Minene, Yuno using her Yukiteru Diary to help Yukiteru avoid the landmines between him and Minene. Minene realised that Yuno is a Diary Owner as well, kicks Yuno away, leaving Yukiteru to use his common sense to dodge the final mine and wound Minene in the eye with a dart. Minene retreats on a motorbike using her Escape Diary. Later, Kurusu forms the Future Diary Alliance with Yukiteru and Yuno. Yuno reads her diary, finding the "Happy End" entry on July 28th, predicting that she and Yukiteru will come together as one.

Kurusu arranged for Yukiteru and Yuno to visit Sakurami City's amusement park in order to lure out Minene. Yukiteru and Yuno spent the day together, Yukiteru observed how Yuno did have a normal side after all. Yuno tries to go to the planetarium, but Yukiteru deliberately avoids it, choosing to go on the nearby Ferris wheel instead. Yuno confronts Yukiteru about his odd behavior, reminding him of their past encounter and the promise they made go stargazing together and become a couple, much to Yukiteru's shock as he realised that Yuno took his joke seriously. Yuno gives Yukiteru a kiss on the forehead afterward. Yukiteru escorts Yuno to her house, although Yuno invites him inside. The electricity is out, and Yuno disappears into the kitchen to prepare an apple for her and Yukiteru to share. Yukiteru wanders off into the pitch black house to find the bathroom but comes across the sealed off room where the three corpses are. Reading the entries in his diary which only briefly note the door, Yukiteru decides to experiment and alter the future by looking inside the room. As he opens the door, all of the Future Diaries are completely rewritten. Yukiteru opens the door and finds the three corpses inside, altering the planned out future of the survival game and nearly destroying Deus' Cathedral of Causality. Yuno finds Yukiteru, horrified at what has happened, her diary's "Happy End" vanishing. Yukiteru flees her home in terror, running to his own house and locking himself inside, where he collapses by the door to catch his breath and regain his energy. Yuno follows, suddenly looking through the letterbox and wishing Yukiteru a good night. The next day, Kurusu arrives at Yukiteru's house to pick him up, but as Yukiteru tries to tell him about the discoveries of last night, Yuno appears telling Yukiteru not to give away "what happened". Kurusu immediately assumes the two got up to something private and hops into the car, Yuno giving Yukiteru an innocent smile. Yukiteru, still cautious, hops into the passenger seat but has Yuno staring at him from behind all the way down the highway. Kurusu explains that Minene was captured overnight by the Omekata Temple cult, led by priestess Tsubaki Kasugano who is said to be able to predict the future through clairvoyance. They agreed to meet the priestess in order to obtain and seize Minene.

When they arrived at the cult, Yuno watched Yukiteru as he approaches a pond while Kurusu talks to Orin Miyashiro. She catches him when he falls on his back, and finally accompanies him when Kurusu calls them. Tsubaki meets them and agrees to an exchange: she would hand over the Ninth in exchange for the First, since her diary has predicted her Dead End that night and he has escaped from the Dead End twice. Yuno immediately disagrees, but Yukiteru agrees to the deal and goes with Tsubaki. That night, the cult followers fall into a deep state of hypnosis and become puppets for the Twelfth diary holder. They begin their attack against their leader, setting her chamber on fire. Armed with an axe, Yuno attacks and kills various followers to protect Yukiteru, but then she notices him running towards Tsubaki to save her. She catches up with him quickly and tells him that he has to either leave Tsubaki behind and join her or he would die. However, he tells Yuno he was not going to leave her behind, and hurries to her cage, leaving behind a crying Yuno. Luckily, Kurusu was able to put down the fire by turning on the sprinklers, saving Tsubaki, Yuno and Yukiteru. However, the cult followers were still under the control of the Twelfth, so Yuno decides to lead Yukiteru and Tsubaki, after he insisted on saving her too towards the exit and leave the place. On the way, however, they are intercepted by the Twelfth himself, who is disguised among other four who look exactly like him. The five Twelfths race towards the trio, but Yuno after remembering the Twelfth was blind turned that information in her favor to detect the real Twelfth and kill him in the spot with a swing of her axe.

With the Twelfth dead, the cult followers regain consciousness and Tsubaki reveals her true colours as she captures Yukiteru and Yuno. Revealing she planned this all along, Tsubaki kisses Yukiteru in order to taunt Yuno, which immediately provokes her rage. Yuno sets herself free by killing the men who were holding her and is able to grab her axe and swing it at Tsubaki. She barely saves her diary, but loses one of her hands to Yuno's axe. While she screams in pain, Yuno gives her diary to Yukiteru and pushes him out of the way, letting him escape with his and Yuno's Future Diaries, which shows Yuno's trust in Yuki. The exhausted Yuno is dragged into the temple where the enraged, now one-handed Tsubaki contemplates what to do with her captive. Acknowledging she has to lure Yukiteru back, Tsubaki sets up a microphone and instructs her male followers to strip Yuno of her clothes and rape her like they did to her, while speaking to Yukiteru over the microphone and speakers to come rescue Yuno before she is molested. Yuno screams that she would rather lose her virginity to Yukiteru than Tsubaki's followers, and after thinking about her while in hiding, he decides he cannot leave her, and he charges into the temple clumsily, throwing a fire axe around. Yukiteru wraps Yuno up in his jacket and confronts Tsubaki, showing his care towards Yuno and ultimately choosing her instead of Tsubaki, then ultimately forced to damage her Clairvoyance Diary and eliminate her from the game. Yuno hugs Yukiteru's legs and cries. Later the two are seen in the back of a police van, Yukiteru confused by why Yuno stalks him as he takes her face in his hand and kissed her.

Yukiteru goes to meet his mother, Rea Amano, at the train terminal where she is finally arriving home from work, leaving the house unguarded. Yuno breaks into his house by using a mallet and a roll of shipping tape, preventing the glass from shattering but breaking it just enough to unlock the door and enter the house. To his horror, Yukiteru discovers that Yuno has broken in and quickly attempts to hide her from his mother, but when he finds her cleaning his room and rearranging all of his books, Rea meets Yuno. Yukiteru is quickly off-put when he finds that Rea likes Yuno and supports their relationship, so much that she allows her to stay the night, in Yukiteru's room. Yuno quietly reflects to herself that she is glad she didn't have to do anything to Yukiteru's mother, and that her "tools" would not be useful here. This quickly turns out not to be the case, however, when Rea informs them that she is bringing home a little boy whose parents were both victims of the Omekata cult suicide. This boy turns out to be Fifth, Reisuke Houjou, a Future Diary owner who wants to kill both First and Second. After trying and failing to kill Yuno several times, Reisuke quickly becomes entertained with her, and starts to put his cunning skills to work. After Yukiteru discovers that Reisuke is the Fifth, he refuses to fight him and tells Yuno to stop fighting him as well, opting instead to try to find out where his Diary is, so that his mother will not be involved. Yuno ignores him and tries to kill Fifth anyway.

While Yuno is chasing down Fifth, she accidentally hits Rea in the back of the head with a mallet, knocking her out and causing Yuki to become enraged. To make up for it, she promises Yukiteru that they will find Fifth's Future Diary and take it away from him instead, as he had originally planned, but they are unable to find it. Yuno finally realizes that Fifth's Future Diary is being mailed back to them, and Yukiteru gets his hands on the envelope first, but unbeknownst to either Yukiteru or Yuno, Reisuke booby-trapped the envelope with poison gas, which releases into the house instantly and causes Yukiteru to collapse. While Yuno moves Yukiteru to safety, Fifth is able to get away, and his game begins. Reisuke reveals that he has the antidote to Yukiteru's poison in his bag, which he is running around with, provoking Yuno to chase him down. Yuno is able to overcome all of Fifth's traps in order to corner him, but is electrocuted when Fifth turns on all of the water upstairs and floods the stairwell, then breaks a lamp to send the electric current into the water. At first, Yuno is incapacitated, but Yukiteru saves her life by throwing a dart at Fifth, and resuscitating Yuno by breathing into her mouth. Yuno gets back up and fatally stabs the Fifth and his Future Diary. However, after being defeated, Reisuke gives Yuno a warning about her future with Yukiteru: there can be only one survivor, and they will have to eventually try to kill each other. Immediately after Fifth dies and disappears, Yuno collapses again, only for both she and Yukiteru to be saved by Ninth.

Yukiteru and Yuno are relocated to a different school after Ninth bombed their old one. Here, Yuki is reunited with his former friend, Kousaka, who slams his name the second he walks in because of the terrorist incident. This is when Hinata and Mao Nonosaka show up, both aiding Yukiteru. After the morning's festivities, Yukiteru is invited to hang out with the group at the scene of a murder. Yukiteru, oblivious to any danger and eager to hang out with his new friends, happily joins along, taking a silent, begrudging Yuno with him. While the four of them have fun, Yuno sits on the sidelines. It is heavily implied that she is thinking about killing Yukiteru's new friends, especially when she traces the word "Die" in the ground with her shoe repeatedly. While the trio are hanging out, Yukiteru's Future Diary suddenly changes, revealing Hinata's death. Yukiteru rushes to the scene, but is too late to find Hinata, who had apparently been mauled by a pack of murderous dogs. Aru Akise arrives on the scene and reveals that he has been watching Yukiteru since the beginning when the group see the same dogs, who in turn see the group and start getting ready to attack. Yukiteru and his friends run to a nearby building surrounded by glass windows. The dogs attempt to break in, but Yukiteru reveals the truth about his Future Diary just in time to order his friends around to stop the dogs in synchronized order. Mao, who initially appears impressed, suddenly comes around to Yukiteru's side and steals his phone in a nonchalant fashion before holding a knife to his throat, as Hinata comes in behind them. After giving a short speech, revealing that she holds Tenth's diary, and is actually after the diary that she believes belongs to Akise.

Hinata is challenged by Akise to a gamble: if he wins, he gets Yukiteru's diary back, and if he loses, he will give up his own. By using Yukiteru's diary's weakness against Hinata, at Yuno's request, Akise is able to defeat Hinata in the gamble, winning back both Yukiteru and his diary, as well as revealing that he never had a diary. However, when Yukiteru is being released by Mao, Yuno rushes forward, pulls out her knife and stabs her. Hinata is left alone to take care of Mao while Yukiteru and his friends run away. Not content to leave her unattended, and highly upset with the outcome of their situation, Yukiteru turns back around to prove to Hinata that he meant to be her friend, and Yuno follows. However, when they get there, Yuno immediately ran up to hold Hinata at knifepoint for her diary. This is where Yukiteru declares his relationship for Yuno, in an attempt to get her to calm down. Yuno is ecstatic, but Yuki has his reservations. Immediately after this, Karyuudo Tsukishima, Hinata's father, gives his final speech to his daughter via the dog's intercom before revealing that the man who had come to kill him was Fourth, Yukiteru's next enemy. Immediately after, Fourth shoots Tenth in the back of the head and kills him.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Yandere face.

In appearance, she was a young girl with pink eyes and long pink hair styled in pigtails with these two hanging as frontal locks. These featured a pair of red bows and the back of the pigtails left bare. Typically, she wore a blue shirt with a ribbon on her chest and had high socks.

Yuno was described as being a very intelligent student and stood among the top in her class. She claimed that she was capable of doing two tasks at the same time and engaged in such activities to keep her brain active. On one occasion, she demonstrated the ability to think in the mindset of another such as she did with the thinking of the child prodigy Reisuke Houjou. In that state, she sat in a meditative pose and put her head to the ground as she attempted to discern where Fifth had hidden his Future Diary.

Her brutal personality mostly results from abuse inflicted by her mother and the absence of her father. Following the death of her parents, her personality was shown to had changed somewhat that showcased her growing madness. She became quite lonely and sorrowful that led to her obsession with Yukiteru. Yuno began to talk to the dead bodies of her parents where she told them about her day and even told them that she had met a boy with her bringing Amano to them someday. After Akise moved their bodies, Gasai was shown to had become angry and believed that he had disturbed their sleep as well as woken them up. When she abducted Yukiteru, Yuno took the skulls of her parents with her at the abandoned hotel.

It stemmed from when Yukiteru told her they would get married when they grew up leading to him unwittingly becoming a pillar of support that gave her much-needed stability. Her obsession with Yukiteru grew to escalating proportions to the point that she was willing to harm those who she believed would take Yukiteru away from her; be they friends, rivals, relatives and other girls. She was prepared to resort to violence if Yukiteru's mother ever opposed her. At one point she even kidnapped Yukiteru and held him hostage because she was so terrified that another diary user would kill him. Aru has stated that Yukiteru provides a stabilizing influence in her normally chaotic and violent life. Her obsession with Yuki meant that she felt elated and happy whenever he praised her. During the battle with Seventh, she managed to deflect numerous thrown daggers with her own blade and after praise from Yukiteru she said she felt like she could do anything.

According to Akise, Gasai had a selective memory with her mind changing events within her mind in order to rationalize them. This came to the extent that she forgot people she had met before and sometimes saw them as threats. On another occasion, she forgot that she had invited Yuki to her home before and believed it was the first time he had come to her residence when Akise was there.

In the third world, the Third World Yuno seemed to be very nice and calm, possibly because she still had love for her parents and there was no survival game for them to participate in. This allowed Yuno to stay mentally sane. However, as a side effect of receiving her First World self's memories, it is implied that she might still remember some of the things that occurred in the first world as she states that she feels as if something is missing.

Powers and abilities

Yuno Gasai was originally born an ordinary human being with no special inherent abilities.

Her own Future Diary was the Yukiteru Diary (雪輝日記, Yukiteru Nikki) that contained all her future writings about Yukiteru that were written in ten minute intervals. Yuno herself called it the diary of future love and reflected her personality in her obsession with Amano. In fact, she claimed that it would have been useless to her if it did not cover Yukiteru Amano's activities. Though by itself, her diary was essentially useless as it did not cover anything beyond Yukiteru, it proved to operate extremely well with Amando's Random Diary. This was because his diary included all his observations but not his own reactions whilst Gasai's diary included everything about Yukiteru. As such, it not only predicted Yukiteru's surroundings but also covered Yuno's weaknesses allowing them to operate well in synchronization with one another thus covering any individual weaknesses the two diaries had alone. Unknown to anyone, Yuno actually was in possession of two Future Diaries as she was from another timeline and thus held her original diary along with the 2nd world Gasai's diary as well. Both contained the same information but the destruction of the second diary did not kill her as it was linked to that world's timeline of Yuno.

In addition to intelligence and cunning, perhaps her most fearsome ability is demonstrating proficiency with any type of weaponry she gets her hands on. These include knives, axes, swords, pistols and submachine guns. She is also fairly knowledgeable of poisons and drugs, although she rarely uses them. She has also demonstrated to be quite skilled in infiltration, as she has on more than one occasion entered a building unnoticed even while it was surrounded by the police.

Yuno also possesses divine powers from winning the first Diary Game and inheriting the throne of God. An example of such power is moving enormous structures through her will alone, such as when she tried to crush Yukiteru.
