"Youji is a sex god." "Youji is hilarious." "He's fun and amusing, and you know you'd much rather hang with him than say... Aya!" "Yohji is a skilled fighter." "No
matter how many women he's with, he treats them all with respect
and like queens. He's the only Weiss Kreuz member who could even
be remotely called trendy or original. No matter how he jokes around
and teases his fellow Weiss Kreuz members, he's always behind them
to help out." "There
are a lot of people saying that he sleeps with more than his fair
(or proper) share of women -- more accurately, I quote a friend
of mine: "The man is a slut -- have libido will travel". Whereas
it is true that he is guilty of wanderlust, I believe that these
women he does get intimate with are very willing and VERY glad to
have done so. He isn't the type to say something he doesn't mean.
When he compliments a woman, it's not purely for the reason to get
her to bed -- one of the most unique and absolutely lovable qualities
Kudoh-san has is how he sees beauty in every woman. He knows how
to make a woman feel special. He doesn't lie -- he says what he
sees in a girl and that is why they go out with him, because with
him they feel appreciated. Women aren't stupid -- they know when
they're being dragged along. If they feel that they're being used
-- they won't go there. Plus, I disagree with people saying how
atrocious his attire can get. In my humble opinion, he's one of
my favorite characters because he makes the unusual attire (and
everything else he wears) Versace. You want weird get ups? Check
Tsukiyono-san and his brown shirt...if you can call that a shirt.
Not to mention Aya and his horrible orange turtleneck sweater...
Kudoh-san knows how it is to love someone. I call to your attention
Ms. Asuka -- or Neu, if you will. Thos who've seen the series understand
what I mean..." "Youji
is a sweetey; he cares about his companions even if he does tease
them from time to time. He is a ladies man. He has the guts to say
rude comments about Aya when Aya is in ear shot; he knows what he
feels is right, because he Questions the orders he and Aya were
given in the OVA's to Aya of all people or that classic scean where
he puts Nagi and Tots hands together in ep 21. Still devoted to
his late lover." "Okay,
I'll agree that he *is* a player, no denying that, and even though
those types of people annoy the heck outta me in real life, in anime,
let's face it, it adds flavor to the show. And let's also look at
it this way, he lost the love of his life, maybe, he's just trying
to find someone to love just as much as Asuka." "Yohji
May seem like this really big playboy and you can say he sleeps
around But don't you think it is just an excuse or a cover up for
the lost of his late lover ? Look at him he's totally devoted to
her. He didn't even want to hurt the enemy thinking she was her
(well it could have been) although she was hurting him like mad
and doesn't even remember him.But the point is he still is devoted
to her, he dreams about her and even hallucinates about her sometimes
(in the comic)." "yes
yes we all know that yohji sleeps around, but someone hasnt pointed
out that he doesnt seem to sleep with people who dont want to and
he doesnt make promises he cant keep. now thats a man. the girls
that sleeps with him know thats all theyre gonna get. so who cares
if he sleeps around, if no one seems to mind?" I will
agree that he is a play boy, but for him it seem charming & he's
dead sexy...i will also agree that he probably does a lot of it
because he's looking for his long lost Asuka...& can you blame the
poor guy? id be upset too if i lost my partner & my possible love
interest First
of all I want to say to all of you negative people, why are you
wasting your time bashing? I know you have your opinions and I try
to respect that but honestly, how immature can we be here? I think
Yohji is a well developed character, one of the best on the show.
True, he's kind of a player, but thats true for most guys. Either
way you look at it,..you could say ANY character on the show is
a slut. (if you're not one of those yaoi denying people who don't
see it when its right in front of your face.) Yohji did go through
a lot in his past, and so did the other characters. He deals with
it his way, just as Ken and Omi and Aya do. I really wish you guys
would back off. Its a shrine to Kudou, isn't it? If you don't like
him then you shouldn't be here. Shoo. Go drool over your favorite
Weiß or Schwarz and stop char-hating. =Þ Not
all people act the same way when they loose somebody important to
them. Some hide themselves (I think this is the case with Aya/ Ran,
that tends to be discreet his own pain), some try to forget, some
try to get over it, some try to "pretend" there're over it. I think
that last option is what happens to Youji. His over-blatant over-dating
activities seem like a way to hide what really goes inside that
head. I think one can't deny that this is a character that suffers.
A lot. Even if one could think that he has no reason to suffer that
much. And this is one of the curiosities I found about his character,
and, in fact, about most of the other characters in Weiss: they
seem to act a lot accordingly to their zodiac sign. Specially Youji,
and, go figure, specially Ran, too. A hurt Pisces (that's Youji)
tends to hide their pain from everybody else, and lives in his own
personal fantasy world. In Youji's case, in a fantasy world where
no woman escapes from him (when this is not true: Asuka escaped
him, in death; Manx has no trouble resisting him, too), and where
an enemy (Neu) can very well be his lost love. Youji wouldn't let
go of his fantasy of Neu being Asuka, and ended up getting himself
tricked, and nearly killed. Because letting go of that fantasy would
be too violent. And when that fantasy ended up shattered, (with
Neu's death), Youji had to quickly enter in another dream, back
to the "no woman can resist me" fantasy . Because that's the way
Youji lives with his pain, even if that can get rather infuriating
for the outside observer… A little parenthesis: I don't know if
Neu was Asuka; I don't think the anime was ever clear about that…
Now, about Ran/Aya. As I said before, his approach to pain is totally
different. He is a Cancer. The fact that he lost his family was
an extremely cruel event. Things get even worst, when you think
that the Cancer is EXTREMELY connected and devoted with his family,
to the point of self-sacrifice. Only, when they get hurt, Cancers
build a hard shell, lock themselves in and throw away the key. And
they don't let somebody else inside that shell that easily. A person
has to "smash the door in" to get trough the shell, and the Cancer
gets uncomfortable with such an intrusion, if not angry… That explains
a bit the trouble with Sakura… Only there's a catch with the Cancer:
there're extremely temperamental, and destined to mood swings… And
katana swings against flying helicopters… (I know, bad joke -_-).
I like
Yoji because he’s a complete character, in my view. 1) Yohji has
this problem with giving up something he loves/wants to believe
in. He wants to trust and believe people - as we saw with Neu. Even
though she’d nearly kicked his ass, he took her home with him because
he believed in her as Asuka. He keeps making mistakes twice. 2)
Yoji is a clown. My impression is that his ‘cheesy’ pick up lines,
incessant flirting, and amazing boasts are all a part of his humour.
He seems to say and do things that will get a reaction - usually
a laugh or a smile, not really to get anywhere. Even Manx will occasionally
smirk at him. I know his antics amuse me. He jibes with the boys
as often as the girls, and most of the humour is focused on his
libido. After all, he is male and appears to be a playboy. (I make
no allusions to his sex life. I only know the series and the two
manga books, in which - collectively - he was with four/five women.
Asuka/Neu(/?)Kyoko, Maki, and the blonde with the ice cream.) Omi,
who seems pretty stressed on missions, and Ken, who gets insanely
serious, both seem to relax and lighten up a bit when Yoji makes
a jibe on duty. Even Aya seems to mentally roll his eyes, but calm
down a touch. They work in a life and death business, if Yoji spent
his time being serious it would be one less rope holding their fragile
leaves in the light. Or in this case: wire. First
and foremost, all those who wish to appelate Yohji Kudou a whore,
slut, and similar unflattering titles really haven't given a lot
of thought to what he provides for Weiss Kreuz. Consider: Omi. A
wide-eyed, virginal bishonen. Ken. The kind of guy you bring home
to Mother. Aya. The ice man. As much as I love these three characters
(and I do), I feel that these three models of chastity alone would
not a series make. Enter Yohji. Pure sex. But not without plot,
substance, depth, and variety. The assassins of Weiss all became
the people they are because of who and what they have lost. Omi:
his family, his memories. Ken: his best friend, his career. Aya:
his parents, with a sister in limbo. The undeniable fact of the
matter is that Yohji DID lose someone he loved, just like everyone
else in Weiss. Depending on how you look at it, he lost her twice.
Either way, the loss has without doubt left his mark upon him. Like
him or not, Yohji is a brilliantly conceived character. I see him
as a complete inversion of Ran. Instead of becoming hard and unapproachable,
he's made himself a super-extrovert. Yet this is an obvious facade
for the pain he carries inside of him (think of the tatoo). He hates
himself for what happened to Asuka, so he drinks, smokes, and screws
himself into oblivion. He wakes up the next morning, and he still
hates himself, but he pulls on a crop top and make jokes until the
sun sets and he can do it all over again. Now that's tragedy. I
don't think anyone else in the series abuses themselves that way,
with the obvious exemption of Farfarello, and that's a whole other
e-mail. The creators of Weiss have showed us the many faces of personal
tragedy, and the different ways that people deal (or don't deal)
with their problems. Like it or not, there are real people who respond
to pain in the same way Yohji has. They deserve love and sympathy,
not obnoxious criticism. Furthermore, regardless whether what Yohji
does in his free time is moral and healthy or not, at least he's
not hurting anyone with his drinking, smoking and screwing. He's
only hurting himself. I personally believe he does these things
because no drag is ever long enough, no glass deep enough, no girl
enough to give him back his true love. Some people think he flirts
just to get some. Either way, SO WHAT? What Yohji's doing is consensual,
and it can only be assumed, mutually pleasurable, or he wouldn't
get so many dates. Sex is just two adults amusing themselves; Yohji
momentarily finding a diversion before diving deeper into his secret
depression. What he does is no more "cruel" than the way Ran treated
Sakura-chan when she told him she loved him. I can deal with a flirt
much better than a guy who's gonna be THAT cold while I pour out
my heart and soul. But am I judging Ran? No. His coldness is merely
a product of his pain, that way Yohji's debauchery is a product
of his. And I do love Ran. Almost as much as I love Yohji ^_^ send a positive |
"At the flower shop, I've seen the poor man sport this sleeveless scoop-neck red shirt. *shudder* That's some ugly stuff." "His frighteningly fruity midriff baring tanks and cheesy pick up lines." "He's easily distracted." "Sin? I don't think he's ever gonna learn." "Yoji
has a lot of good qualities such as being chivalrous, funny, sensitive,
and loyal--but for the most part I think he's nothing but a big
SLUT!!! Let's face it, the guy is the world's biggest WHORE!!!
He sleeps around more times than a hooker on a street corner,
but hey, at least he's got a sense of humor. I guess that counts
for something, right? Anyways, I do like Yoji's character in the
anime series, I think he's pretty cool sometimes. Plus, he does
wear some half-way decent outfits during most of the episodes,
but some of his pictures are just downright tacky! He wears that
godawful tanktop and those cheap-looking, tight pants (which unfortunately
makes him look like a sleazy pimp!) and other butt-ugly outfits
that the biggest majority of the human population wouldn't be
caught dead in. Sorry, but it's true. He might be a nice guy overall--but
he's still the neighborhood tramp. And that's no lie!" "I
have been reading a lot of the positive and negative comments
about Yoji Kudou, and while some of the positive remarks may be
true, I'm afraid I have to agree with the negative side. Don't
misunderstand me, I think Yoji Kudou has a lot of good points
and he's basically a nice guy, but in my personal opinion I just
feel that he's also getting way too big for his britches! I don't
care how attractive or charming he is, there's no way that he
can get absolutely any woman he wants in the whole, wide world!
I find it a little difficult to believe that no female is immuned
to his ridiculous charms--which are nothing more than just cheesy
pick-up lines. I think it's really stupid how everyone makes it
seem like no woman on earth can resist him. If he came up to me
and tried to use those stupid pick-up lines to get into my pants,
I'd laugh in his face and tell his sleazy butt to get lost! There's
no way in Hell I'd be dumb enough to fall for his crap! He thinks
he's God's gift to women, but I don't think so. He's just another
womanizing playboy trying to get laid, that's all. He goes through
more women than he goes through changes of underwear--that's assuming
he's even wearing any! Maybe some girls are stupid enough to fall
for guys like him, but I'm not one of them. Personally, I don't
find men with over-inflated egos attractive in the least bit,
regardless of what they look like. I have to agree with the negative
people when they say that Yoji Kudou is nothing but an egotistical
tramp! He'll always be a big whore in my book, that's for sure.
The guy is a slut!" Okay,
I've got just one thing to say to all you so-called "positive"
people---GIVE IT A REST!!! I've read all the comments on this
page and now I'm gonna put my two cents in. So here it is. The
way I look at it is this, just because Yoji lost his beloved Asuka
in a terrible tragedy doesn't mean that he's got to be a freakin'
WHORE about it! I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything,
but losing his ex-girlfriend is no excuse to go trampin' all over
town! Lots of people lose people they love and care about, but
that shouldn't turn them into a slut like him! I'm so sick and
tired of everyone using Asuka as an excuse for slutboy's trampy
behavior. It's starting to get on my nerves! And why in the world
does everybody think Yoji is so sexy and irresistible anyway?
Personally, I think he's kinda goofy-looking myself. He's as tall
as the Jolly Green Giant, skinny as a toothpick, his hair usually
looks greasy and messed up, and the shape of his face is way too
long and narrow. Sorry to shock all you Yoji fans out there, but
the guy just looks a little too odd for my taste! Not only do
I think he's ugly and funny-looking, but he smokes too. Nasty!
The man is a walking-talking ashtray. Kissing him would be like
kissing a cigarette! I think any stupid woman who falls for his
baloney-ass lines has got to be out of her freakin' mind! She'd
have to be nuts (not to mention pretty desperate). Nobody really
watches the show for ol' Yoji the HOji anyway. Everybody knows
that the main reason people watch Weiss Kreuz in the first place
is because of the REAL #1 hunk---which can be none other than
the ultimate sexy bishounen himself, Aya! That's right, AYA is
without a doubt the sexiest, stylish, and most gorgeous man in
the entire series! Aya is sooooo handsome, he can run circles
around Yoji Kudou anyday! Yoji is no where near as attractive
as the hunky redhead, Aya's exotic beauty beats Yoji by a huge
landslide. I can name a thousand reasons why Aya is far hotter
and better than slutboy, but here's just a few. First of all,
Aya is naturally beautiful from head to toe. He doesn't feel the
need to have to flirt around with a bunch of airhead girls to
be sexy--he was just born sexy. Unfortunately, that's NOT the
case with Yoji. Yoji tries too hard to be sexy and goes out of
his way to wear tacky, skanky clothes to make himself look and
feel attractive. He relies heavily upon his phony pick-up lines
and womanizing charms. As far as I'm concerned, Kudou is nothing
but a fake! A real hunk wouldn't have to try so hard to flaunt
it and then brag about it to everyone just to make himself look
good. Plus, Aya just naturally has a lot more style and class
than Yoji. The redhead is much more sophisticated, not to mention
a hell of a lot more intelligent! Aya is smarter and more cunning,
plus he doesn't goof off half of the time like Yoji does. Yoji
likes to clown around too much, especially on serious missions.
While the rest of the members are trying to find out vital information
for the dangerous assignments, Yoji is too busy flirting with
some girl and giving her flowers. How dumb and immature is that?
Weiss is on a life-or-death mission and Kudou is asking women
out on dates! Talk about absurd! There are so many reasons why
Aya is better, it's no wonder that he's most people's favorite
character. I'm sorry to have to disappoint all you Kudou fans
out there, but YOJI SUCKS! He sucks big time! As far as I'm concerned,
the show wouldn't even be worth watching if it wasn't for the
coolest hunk of all---Aya! AYA RULES!!!! In
response to the positive comments, I would just like to point
out that I truly HATE Yoji Kudou's guts! The guy is a total joke
and I just don't see how people can like him. I find Aya and Ken
much more attractive and like their characters a lot more. And
as for that one particular remark stating that "if you really
wanna think about it, any of the characters on the show could
be a slut" I just have to say that that's the biggest load of
CRAP I've ever heard! You've got to be kidding! I don't think
it's possible to call Aya (Mr. Celibate himself) a slut, do you?
And what about sweet and innocent little Omi, would you call him
a slut too? And as for Ken he had only been with one girl, Yuriko,
and he really DID love her. In fact, he wanted more than anything
to go with her to Australia to be with her forever. That's called
love--not whoring around! Aya, Omi, and Ken did not sleep around
with every female on the block like Yoji did, so how could anyone
claim that they could be sluts? That doesn't even make sense.
That's downright retarded! And as for the comment that we "negative"
people have no business visiting this Kudou shrine, I'd also like
to point out that we have every right to be here the same as anyone
else! Although we may not like Yoji and think he sucks, we have
our own individual reasons for visiting this site. Some of us
like to look at the picture galleries or search for pieces of
information about the show. But for whatever reason we have for
being here, you have NO right to tell us to shoo off! Besides,
if the person who created this site listed both a positive and
negative section for comments, then we "negative" people are perfectly
entitled to voice our opinions on the subject. If the creator
of "Jade Eyes" didn't want any critical remarks about Yoji Kudou,
then she wouldn't have given us the opportunity to give them.
She wants both comments equally. And by the way, does anybody
even know what char-hating means? I've never heard of the stupid
word before and I doubt very much that anyone else has either.
I guess it's just a word somebody made up on their own, you think?
And what the hell is that goofy-looking symbol? Can anybody figure
out what it actually stands for, or is that just something the
person made up too? Enquiring minds wanna know! I
know that a lot of people support Yoji and his whorish ways mainly
because he lost his precious Asuka and all--and personally I think
her death was very tragic too--but I'm also getting sick and tired
of people running the whole "Yoji and Asuka tragedy theme" into
the ground! Enough already! We've heard the sad tale a million
times, however when I watch Yoji in the anime series I don't get
the impression that he sleeps around with various different women
(most of whom he probably doesn't even know their first or last
names!) because he's always in a deep depression. Sure, he's really
upset about Asuka's death and misses her terribly, but for the
most part he usually seems to be in a good mood. In fact, he's
even more cheerful and smiling than Omi or Ken. He just appears
to screw around town simply because he enjoys getting laid--not
because of some psychological trauma. He just likes it, like all
gigolos do! End of story. And furthermore, womanizing characters
like him really get on my nerves, I just can't stand them. I have
a lot more respect for the other more virtuous members of Weiss,
simply because they don't screw around town or play with people's
hearts. Just to mention one example, take Ken for instance. He
really, truly loved Yuriko with all his heart and soul and wanted
to spend the rest of his life with her. He cared so much for her
that he was even willing to quit Weiss and live with her in Australia,
but he had to decline in the end because he felt he wasn't good
or pure enough for her. His hands were too stained with blood
and didn't deserve to be with a wonderful person like her. That
proved that he really did love and respect her. However, if he
had been Yoji, the situation would have had a completely different
outcome. Yoji, being the trampy playboy he is, would have handed
Yuriko a bunch a flirty pick-up lines just to get into her panties--and
then he never would have even bothered to call her the next day!
After he scored with her, he would have moved on to the next available
chick! Sorry to disappoint all you Yoji fans out there, but the
guy is only interested in cheap one-night-stands. Regardless of
how gentlemanly he may act, he's still only interested in one
thing--SEX! He may have a chivalrous attitude towards women, but
he still treats them like sex objects. And that is something you
cannot deny. Besides, I never really thought Yoji was that good-looking
anyway. I always thought Aya, Ken, and Omi were much more handsome
and had better character. And just to speak on Aya's behalf, I
think he did the right thing by telling Sakura how he truly felt
about the situation. It would have been wrong of him not to. First
of all, Aya is a 20-year-old adult and Sakura was only fifteen
or sixteen. She was just an underage minor. If Aya had pursued
a romantic interest in her, he would have been the world's largest
pervert (next to Yoji of course). Not to mention the fact that
such a forbidden relationship is against the law and he would
have gone to jail for statutory rape! Such an illegal act is considered
a serious offense. Plus, there's also the very disturbing fact
that Sakura happened to be the spit-image of his younger sister.
They could pass for identical twins, yikes! How incesterous can
you possibly get? Aya may seem a little cold and harsh sometimes,
but he's NO PERVERT! And thank God to, because he happens to be
my favorite character! *dreaming of sexy Aya with big grin, woo-hoo!* send a negative |
