Yūichirō Hyakuya/Relationships

Yūichirō Hyakuya was almost killed by his parents before spending time in the Hyakuya Orphanage where he would meet Michaela Hyakuya. Raised in an underground vampire city Yu would escape and learn from Guren Ichinose that humans existed outside. Unwilling to befriend others, he was placed within the education system and aspired to join the Moon Demon Company. He was assigned to Shinoa Hīragi's squad and tasked to undermine vampires. Yu interacts with various other characters throughout the Seraph of the End series, which affects himself and the story. This article details Yu's relationships with other characters.

Step-mother
As a child when his step-mother's apartment goes up in flames, she screams that Yu is a demon and should die. She then douses herself in gasoline and attempts to set herself on fire until firefighters tackle her to the ground. She succeeds in burning herself to death. Saitō later reveals that she was not his biological mother, but was his step-mother, however Yu is unaware of this.

Father
His father believes Yu should die for the good of the world, is willing to stab and kill him to achieve this goal but ends up dead before being able to. This experience had affected Yu, as he cries about it to Mahiru Hīragi while being held captive by the Hyakuya Sect. Asuramaru later uses this memory to terrorize him in a nightmare. Yu felt like he died on the inside when he was treated this way by his parents.

Mikaela Hyakuya
At eight years when Yu was transferred to this orphanage Mika knew they were the same age and was keen to become Yu's best friend, and family in keeping with what the orphanage director taught. Accordingly even though Yu was hostile from his recent experiences and rejected Mika's friendliness, even challenging him to a fight where he was beaten, Yu was still immediately welcomed in the family. Hearing Mika understand how his experiences must have been awful Yu heard Mika's account of his own parental abuse.

After the virus killed the orphanage director and vampires emerged to take custody of the Hyakuya Orphans, Mika and Yu looked after the younger orphans, eventually creating Yu's "family." Yu and Mika once discussed what they would do if they left the vampires' city. Yu answered that he would like to go to paradise yet was confused at Mika leaving and saying that he should work hard. Angered at later learning that Mika had been going into seventh progenitor Ferid Bathory's home to offer his blood Yu refused to eat the curry Mika had sent with him knowing how the ingredients were obtained. He stated for Mika to let himself go in his place next time. Yu was the first person Mika shared his escape plan with having stolen a map and gun to help with this. When the escape was revealed as a trap by Ferid, Yu was greatly anguished at Mika's injuries and would not leave him behind. After crying that he finally had a family Yu was pushed away for him to escape. Yu was the only survivor and was haunted by this experience particularly due to him feeling that he ran away and left them after they were slaughtered. Swearing vengeance on the vampires Yu would suffer from nightmares on the experience where the focus was on leaving Mika behind with Ferid. Four years later after Yu joined the Moon Demon Company, he met Mika once more in Shinjuku after stabbing him from behind after seeing that a vampire was trying to kill Guren. However, when Yu realized that it was Mika he stabbed he was in complete shock and confusion. Tearful at seeing him again Yu called to see if it was really him. Surrounded by enemies and with his squad's safety at risk Yu was pressed into retreated back with the Moon Demon Company. Pursued by vampires and separated Yu was picked up and carried away by Mika but rather than hear that he was being used by humans Yu picked up on the words and questioned whether Mika was still human. He asked out of guilt that Mika had been turned into a vampire because he left him. With his squad in danger Yu would not leave them having done that before. Unconscious from his transformation he did not see Mika taken away when the vampires retreated. Afterwards Yu's deeply entrenched hatred of vampires never once entered his mind where Mika was concerned and he was moved to tears that Mika was still alive and vowed to save him no matter what. Yu searched for ways to turn a vampire back into a human and would also request that his squad and then Guren as well help retrieve Mika. It was in Nagoya after a vampire extermination mission that Yu would be found unconscious by Mika. Whilst Mika was severely injured. With help from his squad Yu was allowed to be taken by Mika for them to meet up at the airport later. After Yu woke up, he saw how thirsty Mika was and encouraged him to drink his own. Mika put up a fight against it, protesting all the way through, but he gave up after Yu claimed that he could not live if he watched his family die once more. His methods to persuade Mika to drink was that he would cry otherwise and then expressed skepticism that Mika did not want to live by pointing out that he would have gone off and died elsewhere if he really felt that way. From that angle Yu worked on eroding Mika's reluctance to drink since there was a time limit with Mika weakened. He would only listen to what Mika had to say if he drank his blood and lived. Yu's was the first human blood that Mika drank and he watched Mika's eyes turn from blue to red signaling that he has finally become a true vampire. Yu helped ease Mika's conflicted feeling at his change and said if Mika got tired of being a vampire Yu would find a way to change him back. Largely, Yu emphasized that they promise not to give up on living again. As his friends were in immediate danger Yu turned to Mika for help despite his unwillingness to head back. Just as Mika done with him Yu desired to integrate Mika into a larger family where this one needed protecting. Whilst he encouraged Mika to work as a team when it was clear the Demon Army was set on murdering them Yu would then be defended by Mika when Guren attacked. He would escape the army and vampires with Mika and spend three months near the ocean.

With Mika needing to drink and considering the bottle of squad members blood Yu would discretely place himself beside Mika and mention he could drink his to avoid any troubling feelings Mika may have about drinking blood. He appeared happy that Mika was sharing his thoughts on their next course of action with the team. When outside Ferid's mansion where Fuola Honte began attacking Yu was distressed at Mika being attacked. Inside at viewing the bodies of their deceased orphanage family members Yu was comforted by Mika holding his hand.

Later, when Mika and Yu are fighting Guren, he meets Mahiru Hiragi again. She asks him if he find a reason of his life and he takes Mika by the hand and says that he is the meaning of his life. Later, when Mika drinks Yu's blood due to his injury, he says that he feels strange.

As Mika begins to die and transform into a demon, Yu begins to cry. First, he asks Mika to drink his blood and asks the devil or god to save Mika. When Yu realizes that it is impossible to save Mika, he asks Ashuramaru to kill him. Ashuramaru says that Yu always considered himself a monster and if there was no one next to him who told him otherwise, then he was "empty inside", but that someone dies, implying that Mika was such a person for Yu. Ashuramaru says that Mika loved him and gave his life for him, which makes Yu cry even more and says that he does not want to be alone, implying that it is without Mika that he feels alone. On the official Japanese website, in the description of chapter 90 it was said: "For Yuuichiro, who was born without anyone who needed him, and with parents who called him a demon, Mikaela, who loved him, is the meaning of his life. If Mikaela dies, he can no longer live. "

When Krul comes to Yu, she says that they should leave. Yu doesn't want to leave Mika and Krul tells him that Mika will kill him. Yu doesn't want to believe it, but Krul reminds him that Mika is becoming a demon and if he lets himself die now, he can never save Mika. Realizing that there is a way to save Mika, he begins to obey Krul and promises to save Mika wherever he is.

When Krul asks if he really seriously wants to save Mika, Yu kneels in front of her, begs her to tell her how to save Mika, and says that his life is more important to him than his own. Krul says he has it just as bad, implying that Yu and Mika feelings are the same towards each other.

When Guren says that they are going to turn Mika into a cursed gear and tie him to Yu, Yu is shocked, but then realizes that Guren will save Mika and rejoices.

When Yu realizes that Ashuramaru is indeed the enemy and Mika is in danger, he tells Ashuramaru that he will not forgive him and will be very mad if he harms Mika. When he sees Mika's sword, he begins to rejoice like a child and thinks Mika is there.

Later, Yu, for some unknown reason, telepathically hears Mika's voice calling him for help. He starts screaming and asks everyone to hurry up, as Mika is in danger and he will go anywhere to Mika and kill whoever comes between them. When Guren says that Mika does not remember him and will take possession of his body, Yu says that he is not against it, because it means that Mika will live. Yu screams again, grabs Mika sword and vows to save him. When Yu goes to Mika world, he is very angry with Ashera. He says that he will not forgive Ashera for what he did to Mika and exclude him from the family. He also calls him "My Mika".

Yuichiro's desire to save Mika reaches such a peak that he begins to go crazy. In one of the dialogues with Ashuramaru, he says that his main desire is to save Mika, to which Ashuramaru replies that this is a lie and he has another desire. Immediately Ashuramaru says that this desire is related to Mika. He asks Yuuichiro why he is so fixated on Mika and what desire he has that drives him be so fixated on Mika. But Yuichiro doesn't answer that question. Later, when he reconnects with Mika, he tells him that even if the world ends tomorrow, he will still save him.

Akane Hyakuya
As children, Yu denied the statement when Akane said that they are all apart of the same family. When she died, Yu was very saddened over her death. He was completely enraged and even started to go berserk with his demon once Ferid showed im her decapitated head in a jar. Later in Ferid's mansion, before going downstairs to see the encased corpses of his family, Yu told Yoichi that he would carry Akane's head. Once given to him, he then apologized to her for never calling her "family" and running away. At Guren's mansion, he says that once he brings back Akane and the other children he will tell Akane they are family. That Akane would be brought back is a significant reason why Yu is comfortable with human resurrection regardless of the cost.

Hyakuya Orphanage Family
Whilst he was not interested in the very concept of family at first Yu would become a paternal figure to the Hyakuya orphans as they lived together. Yu would miss them dearly after their passing and be troubled by nightmares of what happened combined with the guilt that he ran away and left them.

When Yu explains to her that he is a demon spawn, Mahiru questions why he thinks that, and says he appeared human to her. Before the researchers mess with his memories, Yu is told to stay strong and that one day, she will return to free him from the Hyakuya Sect. Eight years later, after Asuramaru finds this memory deep in his mind, Yu tells Guren that he vaguely remembers her but not her identity. He would sees Mahiru's spirit once she separated from Noya and would remember who she was.

He later learns that Mahiru is Shinoa's sister and the one who created the cursed gear. He listens to Krul's story about the deal between her and Mahiru. They meet when Mahiru arrives with Guren. Despite her actions before, it seems that he does not hate her.

Shinoa Hīragi

After the battle in Shinjuku, Shinoa starts to develop a crush on Yu, but he has yet to realize her feelings. He is able to convince her to help him save Mika, and they hold hands. Yu shows guilt once he learns that he nearly killed Shinoa during his transformation at Shinjuku. He saves Shinoa before Kureto murders her at Nagoya Airport. Shikama Doji later reveals to Yu that she is in love with him and tries to save her from his grasp, ignoring Asuramaru's warning. He is devastated after seeing her in a comatose state to the point of ignoring his status as a former soldier and offering to be experimented on by Kureto's order, as long as Shinoa is saved.

Later, when Yu and Shinoa reunite, it seems that Yu has no memory of what happened to her earlier, including what Shikama said. Yu is glad to see her like to the rest. When Shinoa and Mitsuba are both severely drunk, Yu puts them on his shoulders. Shinoa blushes a lot and says that he is not obliged to do this, to which he replies that they are all friends, mean that Shinoa is no more than a friend to him. When Shikama takes possession of Shinoa's body and Krul attacks her, Yu is worried about her. When Shinoa wakes up, he rejoices at her return, asks if she is okay and puts his hand on her shoulder. When Shinoa says she will cry if Yu dies, Yu seems to ignore her words.

Yoichi Saotome
Finding Yoichi being bullied Yu would intervene and help him. He discouraged Yoichi from joining the Moon Demon Company due to his gentle nature. Yu would find Yoichi as the one friend he makes during his brief stint of high school, the one who helps him pass Guren's criteria of progressing further. When Yoichi was overcome by his demon with his mind lost Yu was adamantly against dispatching him. Yu threw down his weapon and appealed to Yoichi within to return and refused to inflict harm upon him. Later, they both are admitted to a squad under Shinoa. Like all his other comrades, he treats his friend nicely and is committed to helping him. Yu would be surprised at the swift advancement Yoichi makes with his cursed gear capabilities.

When they are in Osaka and Yoichi sees Lakus, Yu worries about his condition. Later, when they meet after the events in Shibuya, Yu is to glad to see him like to the rest. During the ritual ceremony, he learns that Yoichi also did poorly at school and is happy about it.

When Ferid drinks a lot of Kimizuki blood, Yu worries about him and promises to get him meat. During the battle with the sixth trumpet, he promises that he will save Kimizuki's sister. When they are meet again, he is glad to see him like to the rest. He tells Kimizuki about what happened earlier and they go to fight outside. Yu attacks Kimizuki, but when Kimizuki tells him not to give in to him, Yu becomes more serious. Yu is glad when Kimizuki is getting stronger than before. When Guren arrives again, Kimizuki tells him not to believe him, but Yu ignores Kimizuki words.

Mitsuba Sangū
When she first meets Yūichirō and her new group, she dislikes the idea of working with newbies and working under Shinoa, but she opens up and accepts them as time goes on. She and Yu mutually trust each other, and Yu does not mock her when she gets a promotion despite doing nothing on the battlefield. He says she can use her new authority to help him get Mika. Like the other members of his squad, Yu thinks of her as family. He is not aware of her feelings for him.

When Crowley attacks Mitsuba, he is very worried about her. When they arrive in Shibuya and Aoi is angry with Mitsuba, Yu protects her and says that he is Mitsuba's family, so he won't let anyone harm her. He is happy when Mitsuba thanks him. When Mitsuba is worried that Yu is experimenting on himself, he calms her down and tells her that she should be with Shinoa. Later, when they meet again, Yu is glad to see her like to the rest. When she and Shinoa are very drunk, he lifts them onto his shoulders and says that they are all friends, so he does not care if they vomit on him. Yu is surprised when Mitsuba says he will hit him if he allows Mika to take over his body.

Guren Ichinose
Yūichirō meets Guren when he reaches the outside world. Guren rescues him because he knows Yu is a survivor of the Hyakuya orphanage, and he wants to use Yu to reach his goals.

Even after learning that Guren is experimenting on him, Yu remains loyal to Guren. Yu convinces Guren to help him save Mika. When Crowley captures Guren, Yu gets angry and disobeys orders to save him from the vampire. He acquired his whereabouts through Mahiru connection with Saito at the Hyakuya Sect.

When Guren betrays Yu again, he does not believe it. He continues to tell Mika that Guren is not dangerous, but still decides to leave Guren and run away. When Guren attacks him, he thinks the Guren's demon is to blame. Yu sees Guren killing Miku in front of him.

They are later reunited again and despite what happened before, Yu still believes in Guren because he said he would save Mika and turn him into a cursed gear.

He sees Guren drawing a ritual circle and wants to help him. When Yu finds out that Mika is in danger, he scream at Guren to hurry up. He is happy when Guren says that they will save Mika even if it is a mistake and does not mind that Guren is stepping on him.

After the battle in Nagoya, Yu is chained to a wall, and appears with fangs and horns with the wish of getting free. Asuramaru seems to have complete control over Yu's body.

When Yu tries to talk about Asuramaru memories he notes that every time his angel is out of control and his body and heart gets destroyed, he starts regaining little by little his memories, he says he has a feeling that he have a sister whom he regrets abandoning and falls asleep from the headache by remembering. After the Hyakuya Sect captures Yu, in his mind he's has been struck by two long spears weapons, while Asuramaru in front of him he suddenly finds it odd for his memories to be returning.

In the present day, Yu allows Asuramaru to take possession of his body in order to escape Guren. When Yu sees Mika wounded, he pleads with Asuramaru to save Mika. Thanks to Asuramaru's words about Mika, he finds the strength to move on and not resign himself to death.

It is later revealed that Sika Madu only uses Yu such as the case when he used Yu's blood to turn Ashera into a vampire.

When Yu enters Asuramaru's world, he sees Kiseki-o's coffins and concludes that he is also Shikama's ally. They first meet face to face in Mika's world where Yu attacks Kiseki-o for his actions against Mika. Familiar with his coffins Yu tells the demon he is going nowhere before dismembering Kiseki-o.

Seeing the child of Sika Madu reborn as a black demon as Mika he means to rescue him. Fighting off Asuramaru with Gekkouin and Kiseki-o for that purpose Yu speaks to Mikaela and with no response says he will save him. Yu places his hand into Mikaela's chest as he does so. After pursuing Mikaela in the store in Nagoya where he found Mika again Yu was surprised to learn that he was not recognized. Even though he was told Mika would have no memories as a demon Yu feels that Mikaela chose this store location and so knows who he is. When Mikaela spoke as a demon meaning to devour his desires and possess him Yu was more than happy to allow that to happen and interacts with the demon thinking he is Mika.

"What, you're hungry? Okay! I totally don't mind if you nom on me."

- Happy to have Mika eat his desires.

After recollecting Guren's words on whether Mika would want to go on if it involved Yu perishing he reversed this position.

"Yeah, if I left you beat me, you'd wind up crying after. So I guess I can't let you win. I promised everyone I'd come back alive too."

- After recollecting Guren's words Yu changes from being fine with Mika consuming him to opposing it for Mika and his squad's sake.
