Yandere Trance

We’ve already seen the tsunderes and kuuderes. Yet there is one dere, that is perfectly described as “disturbing”. For a good reason that is.

Yanderes at the first blush are nice characters liable to psychotic fits when the right situation pushed their buttons.  Conventionally, they’re depicted as cute characters who’d also freak out the audience with the deeds that makes them psycho. Their over protectiveness has gained them a slew of fans on anime, manga and imageboards.  I’m one of them, admittedly. This fandom of mine only surfaced just awhile ago.

Yanderes have their own charms, as presented by a particular niche. The “yandere trance” tag used for anime/manga imageboards helps yandere ignorants  what they are all about. In the anime, Mirai Nikki, the main heroine, Gasai Yuno, assumed the pose of her having both hands on cheeks, with eyes that will melt most characters (if not for the dark ambiance) and her mouth opened ever so slightly. With this pose, she exclaimed this to the series’s main dude, Yukitero Amano, “Don’t worry, ahn, I will protect you.” Note that I bolded out “ahn” to emphasize the dere of the helplessly love struck young lady.

Adorable and spinechilling ain’t it? Artists used that specific scene of Yuno, to make a tag out of it on imageboards which ultimately will end up a hit among fans and lurkers. They employ this on characters who aren’t even yanderes to begin with. See some of them below.

If you want to see more yandere trance artworks go to any general anime imageboard and search for “yandere_trance”. For Japanese imageboards, look up with 恍惚のヤンデレポーズ. Hope you’ll enjoy browsing through with them as much I did.
