This chapter is a popular science chapter. If you can't tell the difference or think the protagonist is a yandere, you can come and take a look.

Don't jump if you don't like it.

From the time I started writing the article, the young author discovered that there were many paragraphs or book reviews in this book saying that the protagonist was yandere, or that the brother was easy to beat up.

But in fact, if you really knew the protagonist, you would never think that this thing would be easy or anything like that.

First, let's talk about fandom issues.

This book is a shell of the book Hunter x Hunter, but in fact, there is not much content related to the original series, and the starting point of my writing was when Illumi was 24 years old, and the original series was only started when Illumi was twenty-four years old. Therefore, this is a second creation that borrows the world view and some of the characters, mainly to write about the protagonist.

There is also the problem that some friends mentioned the name Zoldyck Family.

There is no way to change the name of Coleman. What should I do after changing it to Milluki?

I call this the foreshadowing that will be revealed at the end.

You can take your time and watch.

Moreover, Coleman is called Coleman in the original world, and I have no intention of changing this.

There is also the problem of Illumi's character. He did not appear many times in the original series, so we can only capture that he is a dangerous and controlling person, and he is not a pure disciple control. He is just the responsibility of the old Eldest Brother to look after the next head of the family. And because Killua's talent is really great, Illumi himself has recognition of his strength.

So I guess one of the reasons why he supervises Killua is that he doesn't want this kid to waste his killer talent. And for Illumi, as long as he doesn't follow his 'plan', it's a waste of talent.

Let's take it for a moment. Old Eldest Brother, a hard-working and extremely gifted family member, sees his father's chosen successor playing with other children every day, instead of studying hard and doing silly things. If he doesn't watch, he will get angry!

But Illumi is not an expressive person, and he is a bit wooden, so his language will appear direct and mean, and even misleading.

Therefore, it directly brought fear, terror and other emotions to the child Killua.

But the difference between Coleman is that he is abnormal. He can completely accept Illumi's dead face and understand what Illumi wants to do. Therefore, Illumi looks scary and frightening to others, but in Coleman's eyes, he is stupidly cute.

In fact, Illumi has not changed much. He is still scary and terrifying. However, this article is from the perspective of Coleman and comes with a filter, so it does not look so scary.

Secondly, let's talk about the difference between yandere and crazy.

Yandere: In a narrow sense, it refers to the character traits displayed by patients with mental illness who are shy when faced with people they have a favorable impression of.

In a broad sense, it refers to the character traits displayed by people who are in a state of mental illness and who are strongly attracted to something and cannot extricate themselves.

The formation of yandere usually produces powerful emotions and obsessions about a certain phenomenon that ordinary people cannot understand and recognize.

Therefore, they will use this as motivation to engage in extreme behaviors, such as crazy expressions of love, exclusion, stalking, destroying when they can't get it, self-mutilation and other extreme behaviors.

What I understand as yandere is: excessive possessiveness + love + extreme paranoia, etc.

It is obvious that Coleman is not, Illumi is not, and Kikyo is not.

At most, they fit one of the following criteria: they are possessive.

But is there love between them?

Not necessarily, even the love between family members is unknown.

Rather than talking about love, it's better to say that you just meet one or a few points that I like, so I can tolerate you to a certain extent.

But if it touches the bottom line interests, there is no need for you to exist.

The only person they love most is themselves.

Therefore, they are not yandere, and this is not a yandere article.

At the very least, yandere is a mental illness, but Coleman is a mental and physical illness, which is completely different.

Coleman has no possessiveness. He treats human beings equally, just like the senses of one species to another species. He can neither like nor dislike them.

So what does he think of Illumi?

It's very simple, it's just ordinary friendship, but with some crazy filters added to it.

If you think you can, think about it carefully. Is it strange for a seven-year-old child to possess his older brothers and sisters?

Aren't you unhappy because your brother or sister suddenly found another child to play with, leaving you alone?

Don't you feel sad because your parents treat other children very well and then ignore you when there are other children at home?

This is normal. When a child suddenly knows that someone wants to share something that originally belonged to him, he will be sad and unhappy.

The difference is that Coleman is crazy and has greater needs for feelings than others.

Because of the childhood problems in his previous life, this person is extremely lacking in love, even though he has completely grown into a rational, calm and lunatic who can ignore emotions.

But he is only seven years old now. He is a child. Why can't children act coquettishly? Why can't they be hugged? Why can't they be loved more?

As the length of the article increases, you will find that Coleman is not necessarily Illumi. The growth of age has once again restored this madman to a normal and sane level.

He will no longer be affected by his own body, and the Night-Walking Spider is back.

He became rational and self-possessed again. He could tolerate his mother giving her love to others, and he could accept Illumi not looking for him for ten and a half days.

As for Illumi, he is similar, but he has grown up and knows that there is no need to stick so tightly. In addition, Coleman gives him great satisfaction and security. He confidently believes that Coleman cannot leave him.

So now we are in a state where as long as Coleman does not touch Illumi's bottom line, Illumi will not do anything to him.

To sum up, Coleman is not a yandere.

So what kind of crazy criticism do I mean?

What I am talking about is different from what many people see. It is essentially a type of mental illness.

But not entirely.

First of all, this person must have had a very strange and tragic childhood experience that was too miserable to be seen.

In adolescence, no one can enlighten us, and the gloomy and dull people continue to grow up.

Until one day or one time, he resisted and killed the person who bullied him, or one day he fell in love with the habit of animal cruelty.

From mice to cats to dogs and finally to humans.

The essential difference between them and normal people is that when a person is happy, it may be because one thing makes him happy, or he is happy after eating delicious food, or he is happy when he drinks or smokes.

Some of the things that normal humans do that can stimulate the production of dopamine do not produce happiness or pleasure for the crazy people I am talking about.

Even if it can be produced, it is not enough to excite them.

But the idea of killing people makes him excited.

No, it doesn't have to be murder, it could also be that a certain behavior in the process of killing makes him very happy.

For example, when it is cooked, or when he sees a certain internal organ, he will be very excited, or when he hears people's screams and their frightened expressions, it will make him happy.

In short, this has reached the level of physiology. You can think that the string in their minds that makes them happy is miswired and has gone somewhere else.

When they have reached this point of madness, it can be said that they are hopeless.

They are patients, and mental patients are also patients with mental illness, but it can be said that there is no way to make them change their "bad preferences".

But this kind of person is usually very smart, learns things quickly, and is very good at pretending.

On the surface, he is even more polite, gentle, and well-spoken than most people you know.

But he is a madman.

A hopeless lunatic.

For example, Hannibal.

So, Coleman is this kind of person.

He is a strange person.

The clouds and clouds are uncertain, and they move as they please. One moment they are laughing, and the next they are stabbed.

Moreover, if there are people with this kind of mentality, they are rarely murderers.

So, there is a thin line between genius and madness.

The biggest difference between a lunatic and a yandere is that the yandere is a human being. He also considers himself a human being and does not look at other people from a non-human perspective. Even if he hates others, he only hates people of the same species.

A lunatic wanders between humans and non-humans. He is very indifferent to the category of human beings. It can be said that he has no category. They often strip themselves of the human category and treat humans as cats and dogs.

Finally, let's talk about the two brothers.

These are real brothers. What are you talking about? What I wrote before was just to highlight the abnormality of the protagonist. But I also thought of the character of Illumi, so I just wrote a few strokes.

It's not so much that they are half-blooded, it's that the other person in their eyes has never been a human being.

In their eyes, the other person has long been deprived of human rights, and the other person is just an item that belongs to them.

Since it is an item, it is mine. Since it is mine, why should he be disobedient?

I monitor my belongings, control my belongings, and possess my belongings. Is there anything wrong with that?

This is just an abnormal psychology.

There is nothing strange about their characters.

Also, in the later period, the two of them will not write too much content like the previous one, but they will write about daily life.

One is because the two have grown up, and the other is because someone misunderstood.

Okay, with these things in mind for now, the author's own popular science is complete.
