The Delinquents are a group of students in Akademi.

Appearance[]

The 202X delinquents all have styled blond hair and scars on their faces. They wear the default male uniform with the blazers open, revealing casual t-shirts underneath. They stand to the left just outside of the incinerator area. The T-shirts don't show with the other uniforms.

Between the April 15th, 2017, and April 26, 2018, builds, if the Space Bar was rapidly pressed ten times before them, The 1980s Delinquents wore Team Skull Grunt bandanas and performed the Team Skull Grunt dance animation, inspired by the Pokémon franchise.

In 1980s Mode, all the delinquents wear the default 1980s Mode uniform, except the girls wear long, ankle-length skirts and have masks, and the guys wear their shirts unbuttoned, revealing a black undershirt.

Gameplay[]

DelinquentsIncinerator2021

The delinquents by the incinerator.

The delinquents hang around to the left of the incinerator area outside of class time around a radio because students rarely go near there.[1] If the protagonist walks near them, they will periodically call her out. If a delinquent sees her carrying the cello case, their dialogue will change to mocking comments related to it.

If they witness the murder or corpse of a bully, they will react like a Spiteful student. However, they will react normally if the player kills Kokoro after all the other bullies have been killed on the previous day. If a delinquent sees the protagonist kill another delinquent, or the delinquents don't bring their weapons to school due to Ayano reporting them to the guidance counselor for being covered in blood, they will react to murder with the Heroic Persona. If the delinquents see a corpse, blood pool, bloody weapon, or dismembered limbs on the ground, they will run out of the school, and eventually, they will call the Police. They will not give the protagonist a reputation penalty if they see her bloody or insane but will instead comment on her state. Unlike any other students, they don't scream upon discovering a corpse.

The protagonist can sneak corpses past the delinquents either by hiding a dismembered body in the cello case, trash can, or garbage bag or by pushing a student off the roof directly into the dumpster below.

If the protagonist attempts to talk to them, they will respond rudely and will not be affected by seduction.

The "blaming delinquents" option has to be activated through Info-chan. If Ayano is sent to the Guidance Counselor and blames the Delinquents for being covered in blood, the Delinquents will not have weapons the next day. Furthermore, if Ayano chooses to blame the delinquents for every type of possible offense (except for murder), they will be expelled and won't show up anymore.

If they are expelled, the school atmosphere will increase by 5 % up to 100 %.

As of the May 18th, 2022 build, the delinquents will react positively to notes on the topic of 'bullying' but only during Mission Mode.

Combat[]

All delinquents have a Violent persona. If Ayano walks too close to a delinquent with a weapon, they will ready their fighting stance, and if she comes any closer, a combat minigame will begin. The player will have to press the three buttons that come up in succession once the game has begun until either the delinquent or Ayano is too injured to fight. If the delinquents see Ayano murder someone, or she is trying to dispose of a corpse, they will fight her, and if she wins, they will run out of the school and call the police.. If Ayano bumps into a delinquent too many times, they will assume she wants to fight and take up a fighting stance.

If the player defeats a delinquent in a fight, they will drop his weapon and leave to sit on the bench near the incinerator.

If the player fights a delinquent near her senpai, she will receive a Game Over. If she fights near regular students, she will receive a reputation penalty. If she fights near another delinquent, they will egg on their gang member.

If the player fights a delinquent near a member of the Student Council, they will run up to them and break up the fight. However, Student Council members will pepper spray Ayano if one of the delinquents witnesses her murder someone after breaking up the fight between Ayano and the delinquent.

As of the August 15, 2019 build, a delinquent for whom Ayano has completed a task will no longer be aggressive towards her or start a fight with her. This also applies in 1980s Mode.

Joining the Gang[]

Ayano as a delinquent

To join the gang, Ayano must follow a list of mandatory requirements:

  • Have a bad reputation level, anywhere around the darkest square of the reputation HUD, between −33 % and −99 %.
  • Dye your hair blonde, by purchasing the dye at the "Nozama" website.
  • Change your persona to "Tough" or "Edgy" through any of the mirrors around the school.
  • Complete all of the delinquents' tasks.

Completing a task for a delinquent will not increase your reputation, even though completing tasks for others do.

Once the list is complete, Ayano must talk with Umeji Kizuguchi to join the delinquents. Once in the gang, Ayano will wear a red mask around her mouth, similar to the one in her illustration. Ayano will also gain ear piercings, three on each ear.

Before an unknown build, the player could press Left Alt to change the design of the masks, as they had five choices.

The benefit of joining the delinquents is making students Follow, Distract, and Go Away through Intimidation excluding Student Council members, Borupen Saishiki, Raibaru Fumetsu (because she's not afraid of delinquents), Osana Najimi, and Amai Odayaka (who refuses to follow Ayano, but can still be ordered by distracting or telling her to go away). However, if this method is used, you will receive a reputation penalty. If Ayano speaks to a friend while she's a delinquent, the “Ask Favor” option will remain, instead of being replaced by “Intimidate.” When you're a part of the delinquents, your reputation will lock at −33 % unless you leave the gang, or your reputation decreases more every time you're caught doing suspicious activities by normal students.

If the player chooses "club activity", a small cutscene will be shown, saying that the delinquents hang out around town, thinking of ways to defy authority. However, YandereDev says he plans to rewrite that activity. He says that the delinquents and Ayano would go to a junkyard to practice melee combat. He also points out a "plot problem", as the delinquents visit Osoro Shidesu after school. If Ayano joins along, she should logically meet Osoro earlier than in her relative week. He is unsure of what to do with this as of now.[2]

Ayano will be kicked out if the delinquents witness her committing murder, as the delinquents will attack Ayano and if she wins, they will flee out of the school and call the Police. If one of the bullies get killed, they will not do anything. However, she will be evicted if she fails to hang out with them at least once a week. Ayano can ask permission to leave the gang. Once she leaves the gang, she will not be allowed to rejoin.

While this feature is not present in 1980s Mode, YandereDev may consider adding it if the fanbase wanted to see it happen.[3]

Routine[]

At 7:20 AM, the group enters the school grounds. They walk to their lockers at 7:30 AM and change from their outdoor shoes into their indoor shoes and hang out either at the Incinerator Area or in a specific place, depending on the current day and week. At 8:30 AM, they walk to their classes.

At 1:00 PM, they eat their lunch near the incinerator and go back to class at 1:30 PM.

They go back to their meeting spot at 3:30 PM, ignoring the cleaning time.

Background[]

Yandere Simulator's story takes place during Ayano's 2nd year at Akademi. During the previous year, there were five students at Akademi who were subjected to severe bullying. The school faculty was informed about the bullying, but none of the victims were able to provide concrete evidence that the bullying had been taking place, so the faculty refused to take action. The bullying eventually became so severe that the victims were considering a suicide pact. However, before this could take place, the victims witnessed something extraordinary that saved them from a self-destructive path.

One day, outside of the entrance to the school, the bullied victims witnessed one of their fellow students — Osoro Shidesu — single-handedly fight off a group of violent aggressors from another school. Against all odds, Osoro actually managed to defeat all of her opponents, despite their superior numbers. Instantly, Osoro became an icon to them — a physical embodiment of the idea that a single person can stand against a group of tormentors and prevail. From that day forward, the bullied victims idolized Osoro.

Osoro had demonstrated that violence was a viable solution to their problems, and that a fearsome reputation would keep their enemies away. The five bullied students began imitating Osoro; they started acting gruff, unfriendly, and standoffish, exactly like her. They dyed their hair blonde, just like hers. They styled their hair to give themselves the appearances of rebellious punks, and began carrying long, blunt objects at all times. They began showing up late to class, disrespecting faculty members, and so forth.

Those five boys were originally targeted by bullies because they were the meekest students at school — and now they had become the exact opposite. Needless to say, the bullying stopped…but at a cost. The rest of the students at school began to fear them and avoid them, referring to them as "the delinquents." This was exactly what they wanted; they'd much rather be feared and hated than be bullied and victimized. However, the faculty and the headmaster began to view them as a growing problem.

The headmaster refused to accept the presence of delinquents at a prestigious school like Akademi. In a faculty meeting, he announced that he was going to expel them all, including Osoro, purely for being a negative influence. However, the guidance counselor stopped him. She regretted not stepping in and taking action while they were being bullied, and insisted on being given a chance to reform the delinquents, rather than simply expelling them without trying anything else first.

The guidance counselor and the headmaster were able to reach an agreement: the faculty and the student council will tolerate the delinquents' behavior for a period of 10 weeks, and give the counselor a chance to reform them. However, this arrangement comes at a cost: if the counselor is unable to reform the delinquents within 10 weeks, she will be dismissed from the school.

The counselor recognized that it would be difficult to reform the delinquents while their biggest influence — Osoro — was still present at school. The next time that Osoro slipped up, the counselor expelled her for a period of 8 weeks.

Will the counselor be able to reform the delinquents before the deadline? Only time will tell.

Trivia[]

  • The all-male delinquents were added in the April 26th, 2018 Build, to balance out the male-to-female gender ratio.[4]
  • The previous male delinquents were voiced by Alejandro Saab,[5] but the current delinquents are not.[6]
  • In Mission Mode, they will accept food from Ayano, which it possible for them to get electrocuted as an elimination process.
  • YandereDev accidentally placed the screenshot of the female delinquents in the "Photographs" folder in January 1st, 2016 Build. They were later removed in the January 2nd, 2016 Build because they were not supposed to be in the game just yet.[8]
  • In the December 15th Progress Update, YandereDev showed a quick scene of Doremi Shimahara holding a long, blunt item. This was the first time the delinquents were introduced.
  • They dislike the Student Council members purely because they are authority figures.[9]
  • YandereDev states that the delinquents in the 1980s were tolerated in school because most of them were just "acting" like delinquents rather than "being" actual delinquents.[11]
  • Tiru Sutoriku and other female delinquents seem to be heavily inspired by Sukeban, which was a feminist movement in Japan popularized during the 1980s. Sukeban girls would rebel against the beauty standard by acting "wild, " dying their hair and holding a weapon at all times.
  • The Delinquents have never tried to get revenge on the Bullies, nor are they planning to.[12]
  • The delinquents in 202X used to go to Amai Odayaka's bake sale during Week 2, however, as of the September 1st, 2024 build, this is no longer possible. This is because buying pastries and sweets wouldn't align with their "tough guy" façade.
    • However, the leader of the group, Umeji wishes he could buy from the bake sale. But he doesn't do so.[13]
  • Some of the girls in Akademi think of the 202X delinquents as cute, however, they also think that the delinquents are too scary to approach.[14]
  • Both the 1980s male and female delinquent groups were aware of each other. However, they have a "rivalry" that happened between them. This was mainly because the female delinquents were founded to be a protection group for women who experienced bullying. Tiru Sutoriku thinks of the male delinquents as bullies, dislikes their group, and wants herself and her group to stay away from them.[15]
  • The 202X delinquents were bullied by Musume Ronshaku and her friends, which caused the boys to be ordinary students, to tough delinquents.[16]
    • Before they were bullied, they thought of the gyarus as cute.[17]
  • If Horuda Puresu talked to the 202X delinquents, they would recognize her as a victim of bullying, while maintaining their tough guy persona. They would not be harsh to Horuda while talking to her. Horuda, unaware of their history, would be afraid of them, even if she had nothing to fear about them.[18]
  • The 202X delinquents enjoy listening to rap and hip-hop music.[19]
  • The radio that the delinquents gather around is a physical symbol of the beginning of their friendship with Osoro. Before those boys became delinquents, it was a radio that Osoro broke after being confronted by Aoi who was following a noise complaint. The boys felt bad for her since they knew she listened to that radio every day, so they fixed it for Osoro, which led to them starting a friendship with her.[20]
  • When the 202X delinquents talk near the Incinerator Area, they talk about their shared interests. They also talk about the students at Akademi. Who may be a bully, who may be bullied and where they should relocate if they want to keep an eye on someone.[21]
  • When at home, the 202X delinquents like to wear something comfortable and casual, especially if they do not plan to leave their home.[22]
  • The 202X delinquents are all 18, but some of them are younger/older than each other by months.[22]
  • If the delinquents knew Kokoro Momoiro's true reason for being a delinquent, they would reprimand her for joining the bullies, but are willing to protect and forgive her, since she told them the truth.[23]
  • The 202X delinquents started out with average grades, with the latter worsening due to bullying. Their facade of being tough guys also do not improve their grades. YandereDev mentions that Umeji is doing the best academically among them.[24]
  • The 202X deliquents use profanity only in school to keep up the 'tough guy' façade.[25]
  • Osoro Shidesu is the tallest deliquent in 202X, but only by 1 cm.[25]
  • The 202X deliquents would still keep in touch with Osoro after graduating or Osoro getting expelled.[25]
