Welcome, friends and foes, Survivors and Killers. Today we’ll be discussing Yui Kimura (yeah, a Survivor video!) I’ll be delving into both her basic backstory and her new piece of lore in Tome VI in my attempts to convince you about just how great Yui’s story is and how it should serve as a template for other stories to come.
Got any suggestions for things you want me to discuss? Leave a comment and I’ll add it to my list!

now that he made this i genuinely want to know which survivor has the best lore story
Yui is my favorite survivor, she's the one I relate to the hardest story wise. Upbringing, going against tradition, even down to the kind of jobs she first held, and doing unconventional things for a female as her career choice and being independent while doing so. Next to her I like Kate's backstory though I feel the tome version of Kate's story sucked. Your video gave me a lot of insight and honestly made me feel a lot more relateable with Yui and I respect the writing that went into her story more, even if you ended up just making it seem deeper than the actual writers meant to make it seem. I am also a huge fan of the silent hill ladies cause I've been a silent hill nerd since I was a kid playing games on dreamcast and PS2, but I won't count it with the dbd characters.
unpopular opinion: spirits chapter was one of the best. From character design, and lore. (Their lore isn’t perfect, but it has so much potential.)
So these "parallel universes" they were hinting was just Yui having dreams that she might become bad? This is such a horrible and anticlimactic answer. Honestly her tome story is worse than Nurse's story.
Plus everything she is scared about is embodied in the new survivor, cause she basically is all about gaining stuff from other people's suffering and even in her story at the end she became more bloodthirsty, wanting the Trickster to suffer.
Comparing Yui to Yun Jin Lee is pretty interesting because in a way they both have the same sort of drive yet it seems that Yun Jin became more selfish because of it. When she grinded to do her dream of music for a living is an abstract way to do it I'll probably dive deeper to see other things I can compare
I absolutely loved this video; as a Yui main I was always so encaptivated by her story and paired up with her overall racer-aesthetic cosmetics, she just seemed great. I honestly don't like the Tome since the backstories are locked away by how many hours you pour into the challenges; so I appreciate these videos so much because it not only gives a deeper analysis to their backstories, but it also provides me with their lore without having the need to stress myself with the challenges. Regardless of that, I found myself loving your depiction of her struggle against her own desires to win; as well as your thoughts and opinions to those who deemed her original backstory as one pandering towards a gender-war. I whole-heartedly love the DBD lore (well, the one's that interest me at least); and I just wanted to thank you for making these videos! I hope to see even more analysis videos soon!
So you’re telling me that if you run Myers, Ghostie, or Freddy you just give Yui ptsd?
Yeah her lore is alright but Jeff had a dog, soooo
This video game me a newfound love for Yui. My favorite survivor will always be Jeff, just because I relate with him so much and I love his style (maybe a vid on him someday?) but in all honestly I got really touched by this video listening about Yui, that empathy quote really resonates with me. Listening to her story almost felt like listening to a documentary, she just seems so human and I love it. She is probably my second favorite survivor now
yui 🤝 kazan
“same chapter, best lore”
One problem I am really starting to have with the lore of DbD is how once a character gets to the entites realm their story just stops. I really liked the Blights because it didn't stop and we were able to see a character react and change due to the entitey.
This video was an absolute masterpiece
she's probably the relative of aki kimura from nfs prostreet 😛
Both Yui and the Oni are bound by tradition.
Yui rebel against tradition
Oni was to enforce tradition
As someone still new to Dead by Daylight, and someone who is otherwise a Kate simp (plus a simp for other certain Survivor and Killer ladies), GODDAMN does this breakdown make me love and respect Yui as an individual. A hardcore desire to win tempered by empathy, and a sense of great self-awareness that helps her grow and improve, there is nothing to hate about her. With all this in mind, I would love to befriend her if the Entity took me into it's accursed realm, perhaps more.
Also I think the Oni's backstory and hers makes their pairing as Survivor and Killer a perfect fit. She rebels against the kind of tradition that stifles human freedom, fights to win, and does so in a way that doesn't compromise her goodness and humanity, and he gave his life, honor, and humanity to his obsessive need to uphold tradition at any cost, since he saw compromising on it as certain doom for his family and their way of life. Revolutionary vs Reactionary, Freedom vs Tradition, honor vs dishonor, and humanity vs the lack thereof. A match made in hell, but a perfect adversarial relationship as they are polar opposites in just about every way (yes, even gender) while having a similar cultural background. Their pairing and chapter truly does represent the point where Behavior started caring about lore, and boy did they have a strong start.
Very good video, Pixel Bush. You've fleshed out Yui's character for this humble newbie in such a way as to make me love her perhaps just as much as Kate Denson. As always, I eagerly await the next lore breakdown. Cheers, m8!
Very well said.
great video! I honestly never looked twice at Yui until you pointed out the strengths in her character. I know you have a lot of requests but It would be cool if you could take a look at Feng Min. I'm quite obsessed with her for no particular reason, I think I've absorbed every single scrap of her lore. It would be interesting to hear what you think. Behavior since her launch hasn't given her anything new when it comes to lore, not even in cosmetic descriptions. I know you touched on her briefly in your video "Who is the Protagonist of Dead by Daylight," but I would enjoy an in depth look at her. sorry for the long comment lol, I just don't want to be overlooked.
Me (a yui main) throughout the video: YEAHHHHHH THATS MY HOMEGIRL LETS GOOOOOO
So good. Obsessed with your videos!
I'd love a gaiden game with Yui, Adam, Felix and Elodie as the main ensemble.
I would like it if bhvr release a survivor that is not a decent person, but someone that scams and cheats and makes other people’s lives miserable. And a killer that is a good person that get screwed over by others and end up losing their humanity.
As much as I enjoy this story of Yui. I was hoping for a darker piece of lore that hints at some more unexplored aspects of the dbd universe. I assumed they were leading us to theme of a snapshot of a killer while they are still human. Yui through her drive to be on top and live would eventually succumb and take the power role and work for the entity. This would not happen in the lore but would show us the picture that would eventually be painted. I hope sometime soon we get a genuinely deplorable Survivor or at least one with dark hidden aspects not yet realized. Maybe this new girl being added will tango with this idea. I have not read much of any of her lore so I guess we will see.
Very bold of you to share this with us, keep being yourself!
Fuck yeah I’ve been waiting for this video as soon as I found this channel. Yui is my favourite character in the game by a mile and her lore is amazing.
