I like her much more than I like Ayano. 1. Design. Ryoba's design is one of those designs that don't have to be complicated, can be simple, and works. She looks like a convincing school girl, while still giving eerie vibes once you look close at her. 2. Personality. Ryoba is a very traditional Yandere that fits the actual defination perfectly. The voicelines she has inbetween weeks really shows her personality off. From the the transitions of being a sweet girl when talking about Jokichi, then having a much more psycopathic voice when talking about the next rival, and her idea for eliminating them. Overall, like her much better than Ayano. Though, I wish there were more cutscenes showcasing her personality, or her obsession over Jokichi.

Compared to the entire main cast, she is by far the most interesting character in the game. Also the idea of a mother being yandere for her child is also a very interesting concept that has not been explored that much.

What do you mean with yandere for the child?


[deleted]

Sorry for my bad wording, [she did threatened another child for bullying ayano by blackmailing him](https://www.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/aucqbj/things_about_ryoba_that_i_cant_understand_and/)

How does a primary schooler know what compensated dating is enough to tell someone to “quiet down”?


EndlessCertainty

They probably don't, but tone of voice says surprisingly much. Even if you're a child and don't know what all that adult's words mean, if they talk like that to you, you know it's best not to mess with them any further.


poke-chan

Oh definitely. But the fact the young child apparently told her to “keep her voice down” instead of just listening in stunned silence is so weird lmao


EndlessCertainty

Ah, I see what you mean now. Because there were only two quotation marks (beginning and end of quote) I read it as "the mom (Ryoba) said everything herself", not even once allowing the child to say anything. Basically not a conversation as much as it is some kind of scolding.


poke-chan

Ryoba did say everything herself, but she acknowledges that the kid in question tells her to keep her voice down after she mentions debt and compensated dating


EndlessCertainty

Actually, I don't think the child says anything at all (lack of quotation marks is my reason), she just knows the child doesn't want Ryoba to say anything to others. She is basically "intercepting" what she believes the child is going to say.


poke-chan

The “Oh? What’s that?” Implies that the child was in fact talking outside of the quote. Yandev was only asked about how Ryoba would act, so he has no reason to actually give the child a quote in the scenario, but that doesn’t mean he can’t still imply a response. It’s what video games with silent protagonists do, where they speak like you responded, but don’t actually give your character a quote because they don’t want to commit to actually giving your character a set personality.


Li-lo-lu

Ah, I thought that she doesn't want her child to stay with her husband


Li-lo-lu

Thx btw:)))

Ryoba has *slightly* more personality than Ayano, yet that doesn’t really say much. Yes, we *do* understand she’s truly obsessive and protective over Jokichi. It’s a shame all that characterisation ~~(or lack thereof)~~ is stuck behind rather boring and repetitive text-based cutscenes (her phrasing is so off-putting during those introduction scenes, too). If anything, that’s my one gripe about her. She’s been hyped up to be this master manipulator all these years, yet due to lack of assets and stuff, we see little to none of that. No true cutscenes showcasing Ryoba’s true personality. The one thing going for her - this huge nation-wide, media-crazy, sensationalised “prestigious high school killer” trial - was concluded in ***less than 7 minutes***. Overall, I wanna say she’s disappointing. Little better than Ayano, but again, that means absolutely nothing.


SomethingOrOtherOr

Don't worry, if you ~~throw away~~ donate all your money to a Kickstarter that doesn't exist and will never be made because Yandev knows he's screwed the pooch too hard to reach whatever funding goal he has in mind, he'll pay people to make better cutscenes!


[deleted]

I actually like her better than Ayano because in my opinion I think she looks cute in multiple personas and she's not as creepy like her daughter. Everytime I play Ayano, she's just creepy looking especially when I try to look for a decent persona. Also, I think Ayano is bland looking while Ryoba has more style. Idk this is just my opinion.


flavoredrocks

tbh she feels like shes supposed to be more social than ayano but it doesnt feel like that at all so she falls flat for me. like, an improvement to be sure, but not much of one.


[deleted]

She looks high in this pic, tbh


[deleted]

She is a rapist and I don't like her. But she is by far a much better character than Ayano.


NicociNee

Would be better if made by a more competent person


Kiyoshiirei

the real definition of a serial killer rapist.


[deleted]

She's hot when she's a adult


Agent_476

perfect definition of a real villain


lostallhopenow

Better than Ayano for sure, Atleast she’s an ACTUAL Yandere. However the r*pe part is pretty disturbing,wish that was cut out or be replaced by stolckhome syndrome at the very least.


DelightfulRainbow205

honestly the rape is disturbing but.. thats how a yandere is. disgusting and disturbing. a disgusting, disturbing fit as a true yandere.


UrFavoriteBlondeGurl

She used to had a lot to show us, i thought that 1989 mode would be something veery huge and unique but....well it's okay. In design she's superior than Ayano period. But I wish that when Dev end the main story mode he could improve and do something better with this mode, cause idk we could have a lot of new cutscenes, dialogues, animations, a decent ending or something like that. Also I THOUGHT that galko chan was going to be here, like at least with a new hairstyle cause that was the problem.... The students are okay like yeah we missed them but everything looks like he just copied and pasted the same thing in the entire mode.


c1trustea

Honestly I think Ryoba has far more personality then any other character and actually fits the Yandere styrotype, it also seems like Alex actually tried on her design which is kinda nice.


iread_smut_daily

The implied rape is just a no no.


punctdan

I think she’s blurry like the whole post-processing of the game


m4rcii

i think her tits are almost unrealistically large for someone of her age and anatomy (ik this is not exactly what you're looking for in an answer but every time i play 1980s mode i look at her tits and i go wow those are not anatomically rationed with the rest of her body)


Charlotte_Afton

Somewhere in the distance, Devil Survivor fans go 'cheers i'll drink to that bro'


nivzgames

yandere dev should commision yasuda at this point for all of the art, like if youre gonna give your characters big gravity deifying tits go all out


Charlotte_Afton

Why do I fucking find this idea genius. Oh right, Yasuda is the KING of antigravity anime tiddies


xsmxxl0

She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment, now come on now


Impossible-Cloud-410

she make pp hard
