Meet Yui, one of the most mysterious characters in this anime
Hell's Paradise was one of MAPPA's most notable productions and one of the most impressive anime of 2023. The visual rawness of its action scenes and its dark theme made it compared to titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man, other series animated by the same studio that have also left an indelible mark on the shonen genre.
Although it does not have the same level of popularity as the aforementioned works, Hell's Paradise is giving a lot to talk about these last weeks due to the confirmation of its second season. This will once again feature animation by MAPPA and will shed some light on the many secrets in the series' plot. Some of these mysteries have to do with Yuia character we will delve into in this article.
Who is Yui, the wife of the protagonist of Hell's Paradise?
This young woman is one of the many characters who made their debut in the first episode of the series. She is a girl with a sweet personality who affectionately treats her husband Gabimaru, known as 'Gabimaru the Empty' by his supposed lack of empathy and feelings.
Yui the most important person in Gabimaru's life
Yui is not one of the main characters of Hell's Paradise, but her role in the plot is more important than it seems. Thanks to his scenes with Gabimaru we know that our protagonist is capable of feeling emotions for the people he values most, and that he simply has difficulties expressing them. Furthermore, Yui is the main reason why Gabimaru has accepted the mission that Sagiri proposed, and hopes meet her again if the shogunate grants him freedom.
As for his past, the first season of the anime has not revealed too many details about it. It is known that Yui was very happy when she lived with Gabimaru and that some emotional words from him made her stop feeling self-conscious about the scar on her face. The peace Gabimaru felt being with Yui encouraged him to quit his job as a professional assassin, which led to his own clan turning him over to the authorities for be sentenced to death.
In the final stretch of the first season it was suggested the idea of Yui being a figment of Gabimaru's imaginationwhich would explain why this girl has only appeared in the protagonist's flashbacks. It remains to wait for the new batch of episodes that the second season will bring with it to know more about it.
