Who’s Your Mommy? By TheAuthorOpal/Crystal286

Note: This is also currently a rough draft. I have to do some homework after this so don't get too mad at me.

The top candidates for the journalist’s daughters are Info-chan, Pippi Osu, Kokona Haruka, and Yandere-chan. Note that all these theories will be assuming that you know who these people are, their stories, and you have watched the Mysterious Tapes. The Mysterious Tapes are the ones that are told from the journalist’s point of view and are spread around school. Still, despite the information from those tapes most are not sure about who the real daughter is. It’s to be someone at Akademi because the journalist scattered the tapes around there. Who’s the best guess?

Well, Info-chan is a logical answer, not including the outdated first intro where she’s a journalist herself. Info-chan could’ve gotten a lot of her money from panty shots, she could’ve gotten blood on her because she doesn’t care for other’s wellbeing (she leaves rivals and countless others to suffer in your quest for Senpai despite having evidence against you) and could possibly kill others for any reason that she might have. Info-chan is one terrible person. However, the dev has stated here that only rivals will have dark secrets. The dev said that Info-chan will no longer like Senpai here. Info-chan is not the ninth nor the tenth rival here. However, Info-chan already has a dark secret, which is her and her panty shot system. Then again, the journalist has a dark secret (leaving a young woman to die in Mysterious Tape #9 so that he can have evidence against the yandere) and he is definitely not a rival... so maybe the dev only meant regular students? There's also the fact that the rivals won't know that Yandere-chan will be competition for them and Senpai. Info-chan knows, judging by the texts in the second intro, that Yandere-chan likes Senpai, as seen here. Could she be a rival? It's starting to seem unlikely. Moving on.

Pippi Osu is a somewhat reasonable guess other than Info-chan. Pippi goes on the computer all day and the journalist stated that his daughter does too! That’s it. That’s just it. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of money nor gets into any trouble. Plus, she’s a mascot, and who makes a mascot of another game (Osu) a fairly important or at least somewhat prominent character with a dark secret and a rival? Not only that, but Pippi Osu only has her computer interests backing up this theory. It seems very unlikely.



Then there's Kokona. Test rival? Check. Hinted at being an official rival? Check. Already has dark secrets? There's her compensated dating and abusive dad, so check. We don't know about her possibly loving relationship with her computer, nor do we know about how much blood she gets on her hands. We do know that she participates in Enjo Kosai and might get money from that. She probably only gets blood thrown on her after Yandere-chan does it, and that's not mandatory to progress the game so it's not really canon yet. We don't know if other people don't do it either though. However, there's one huge fact that disproves Kokona is the daughter of the journalist.

It's in this video posted by the dev himself. You all probably know about Kokona's backstory by now, but do you know the exact details? Well, there's something that Saki Miyu says that changes a lot.

"You haven't been acting like your usual self lately. Is something bothering you?"

"Oh..." says Kokona Haruka, "well...it's nothing..."

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine...but remember, I'm you friend, and I'd never judge you for anything."

"...I guess there's one thing I want to talk about..."

"I'm listening."

"...Ever since my mom died, my dad's been drinking a lot...sometimes, when he's drunk, he comes into my room and..."

Saki Miyu says that Kokona hasn't been acting like herself lately, and Kokona states it's because her mom died. Lately. Why would she suddenly start acting like that if the journalist's wife died by childbirth? Why would Kokona suddenly not act like herself if ever since her mom died, her dad's been abusing her? If Kokona's mom died by childbirth like the journalist's wife did, then that means that the journalist has been abusing his daughter ever since birth. So Kokona only started to be disturbed by it now? Doesn't make sense.

Let's also state the fact that the journalist has neglected and ignored his daughter for his whole life. Kokona's father seems to do no such thing and has only changed after his wife died. Kokona is not the daughter.

<p class="MsoNormal">But you know who might be the daughter? Yandere-chan, or Ayano Aishi, going from thesethree things. That's an easy guess for anyone who is forgetful or who just doesn't look deep into Yandere Simulator. However, this theory has way more flaws than the others, even Kokona's! How is it wrong, exactly? Let me count the ways.

<p class="MsoNormal">Firstly, the journalist's wife died by childbirth. Yandere-chan's parents are out of town for 10 weeks, as stated here. How could the wife be in another country if she died around 17 years ago?

<p class="MsoNormal">Next, Yandere-chan has no history of violence. She doesn't have to hurt people during the events of Yandere Simulator's main story, so she doesn't have to get blood on her. Let me remind you all that the tapes were at school at the very start, and the game begins at the beginning of the year so that means that the tapes were made before Yandere-chan could do anything violent. Yandere-chan has never done any real physical damage before meeting Senpai, the game begins soon after she meets Senpai, so she probably isn't the journalist's daughter because that daughter came home with blood on her sometimes. It's most likely that with the money she got, the blood, she was violent. Yan-chan is not.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thirdly, Yandere-chan's mother has killed a girl in the third floor bathroom back when she and the girl were students in high school. The link says she's explicitly yandere. When could've Yandere-chan's mother gone to high school? Back in the 1980's. What mode will kill the Phantom Girl? At the beginning of 1980's mode. Why did the journalist start getting involved with the school? There was a murder there, stated in Mysterious Tape #1. Where are the tapes? Akademi High School. Who haunts the third floor girls' bathroom of that school? Phantom Girl. That's not all, though.

<p class="MsoNormal">There's one giant fact that brings it all together. When I first went to Yandere-chan's part of the essay, I said that her placeholder name was "Ayano Aishi". Check out Basement Tape #1. The girl there is a yandere, who was accused by the journalist, called "Ryoba Aishi". Who would go out of town for the 10 weeks of the game to hunt down the journalist? The one who killed the Phantom Girl. The one who kidnapped her senpai. The one who has the last name shared with our emotionless and possibly sociopathic (though not confirmed) protagonist.

<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, Info-chan, Pippi Osu, Kokona Haruka, and Yandere-chan are all unlikely to be rivals. Yandere-chan is completely disproven, Kokona has some facts that heavily hint towards that fact, Pippi is just a mascot, and Info-chan already knows about your love when all the rivals aren't supposed to. Then, if they aren't the daughter, who is? <ac_metadata title="Disproving Theories Here!"> </ac_metadata>
