She's never violent towards other League Members. After all, the people she genuinely loves she genuinely appears to care for. Himiko doesn't perfectly fit the Yandere stereotype. Then there's the perpetually popular and perpetually in-development Yandere Simulator, a game where you can play as a yandere. Yuno is more popular than the anime she comes from. RELATED: My Hero Academia: 10 Things About Momo's Quirk That Make No SenseДЄsk any anime fan about Future Diary (AKA Mirai Nikki), and the only thing they will talk about is its most iconic character, Yuno Gasai. It seems bizarre that anime fans don't only love these types of characters, but also almost idolize them. Films like Misery, Fatal Attractions, AuditionВ and even My Super Ex-Girlfriend present women who are obsessed with a man to the point of wanting to destroy him and everything he holds dear as a pretty bad thing. The Yandere phenomenon might appear odd to people outside of anime. However, something always triggers their evil side, and that sweet love they show transitions into intense, brutal violence.

While she is undeniably a very violent person, collecting knives and needles to draw blood, she genuinely loves and cares for her fellow villains.

This is, of course, contrasted with her otherwise cute and unassuming appearance.Дue in part to her bizarre quirk and fetishistic love for blood, Toga never really fit into society. While in some ways this fits in with My Hero Academia's over-the-top world, she seems to be one of the few villains who just loves inflicting pain. Her love of drinking other people's blood borders on sexual lust at times, with her often approaching prey in a predatory, almost perverse manner. This skill is bizarre enough, but what makes Toga stand out isn't so much that she needs blood to use her Quirk, but rather that she loves blood. RELATED: My Hero Academia: Unlocks 100% of Deku's Power (and Breaks Time) Later on in the manga, she even realizes she can copy the quirk of the person whose blood she has consumed, though she isn't aware of this ability of hers until the 24th volume of My Hero Academia, so the anime won't reach that point for a while. The more blood she consumes, the longer she can remain transformed. Toga's abilities allow her to transform into anyone whose blood she consumes, right down to their clothing and voice.
