Suitors Quotes [[:Suitors/|]] [[:Suitors/|]] [[:Suitors/|]]

Suitor talking to a rival.

Suitors are a unique type of NPC in Yandere Simulator.

Appearance

A suitor following his crush (eg: Kaguya Wakaizumi).

Identifying the suitors should be challenging, but their appearance will also be unique in some way.

The 1980s suitors will always be standing on the tree in the square. They will frequently follow the rival and if they are close to her, they will stare at her thoughtfully. Sometimes, if they are closer, the suitor will blush around the rival.

Gameplay

Main article: Matchmaking

A suitor (eg: Banri Masayuki) standing in front of a tree in the plaza.

They are used in matchmaking to eliminate rivals peacefully. Eight of them have not been fully implemented as suitors yet. Kyuji Konagawa, Osana Najimi's suitor, and Shoku Tsuburaya, Amai Odayaka's suitor, are the only known ones currently in 202X Mode. Other suitors for specific rivals are presently unknown. However, some students have their crush listed as "?????" which implies that they may be suitors.

In the game, each rival will have a single crush other than the protagonist's Senpai. The protagonist will be able to eliminate a rival by pairing her up with her suitor instead. If the suitor is murdered before the protagonist can matchmake them, the protagonist cannot pair them up and must use another method to keep the rival away from Senpai. The rival's suitor can be identified if he is found stalking the rival while blushing.

There will always be a reason why the rival develops a crush on her suitor so quickly. Sometimes the reason will be as simple as like the rival's appearance or having similar interests. Other times, there might be deeper causes.

Suitor's Profile Crush Comparison

When the player discovers a suitor's "Crush," the text in their Student Info page will update to reflect this.

In order to matchmake the suitor and the rival, the protagonist must perform a task for both of them to befriend them. When the suitor is befriended, this unlocks a "Love" option in the interaction wheel. This unlocks the matchmaking menu.

Changing a suitor's appearance.

The protagonist can "train" the suitor to acquire the traits that attract him to the rival. This can only be done once a day.

The player must take the suitor to the library to increase their intelligence and be able to impress the rival, every time you do this increase a point in intelligence.

The suitor should be taken to the art room on the third floor (not to be confused with the Art Club) to observe the "haunted" painting, each time you do this you increase a point in courage.

The player must take the suitor to the athletic track so that the suitor can train, each time you do this increase a point in strength.

The protagonist can also buy something in Buraza Town's Gift Shop that would make a good gift, such as a necklace, and give it to the suitor; this allows the suitor to give the gift to the rival during the daily matchmaking interaction. The gift must be given to the suitor before the interaction begins.

When the remaining suitors are implemented, some suitors may look like gender-bent versions of the rivals, but others may not.

202X Mode

To make the suitor interact with the rival, Ayano needs to purchase a wireless headset and earpiece from the Drops menu, or from the Electronics Store in Buraza Town, to give advice to the suitor while he is interacting with the rival. This item is key to the Matchmaking process. Ayano then needs to use the Court option to tell the rival that someone wants to meet her at the school's east fountain. Ayano also must tell the suitor that the rival is waiting for him at the fountain and that she will give him advice. Once both the rival and the suitor are at the east fountain, Ayano has to hide behind a nearby tree and give the suitor advice while he talks to his crush.

Ayano has to figure out what features the rival is attracted to (to learn Osana Najimi's traits that she finds attractive you have to listen to her event at 7:15 on Monday, to learn Amai Odayaka's you have to check out her Sai-X profile on the Social Media app on your phone), she also needs to learn their likes and dislikes (listen to Osana's conversations with Raibaru Fumetsu on Monday starting from 7:45 to 8:15, check out Sai-Press in order to learn Amai's)

1980s Mode

The usage in 1980s mode has similarities and differences, the process is the same: you have to befriend them, learn the traits that rivals find attractive (to learn them, open the rivals' bookbags and read the magazines, they drew hearts near certain things that the boys have) and their likes and dislikes (to learn them, read their diaries). But there are some differences, Headsets didn't exist back in the '80s, so Ryoba has to give the suitors advice before the matchmaking session (go into the interaction wheel, enter the love option and the left one is the one you need to use for giving advice) and after the matchmaking session the player will see the results.

Additional Notes

Riku Soma was the suitor of Kokona Haruka. Ayano Aishi could matchmake Kokona with Riku since the September 22nd, 2016 Build until the release of the Demo, because Osana Najimi got fully implemented. While they cannot be matchmade anymore, Riku still retains his crush on Kokona. To increase the effectiveness of the matchmaking process and fit into Kokona's tastes/interests in her ideal guy, Riku will need to slick his hair back, wear glasses, and have an earring. He would also need to increase his "intelligence" stat by visiting the table in the library.

Trivia

• If too many rivals are being eliminated through matchmaking, Senpai will assume he is not as appealing as other boys are and that the protagonist will never love him.
• Beginning with the build on January 1, 2022, any suitor who witnesses the murder of a rival will attempt to apprehend you until one of them wins.
• If a rival is eliminated with matchmaking and then the suitor somehow is killed or disappears, they will not pursue Senpai.
• The suitors will still be male if the player chooses a female Senpai, which means the ten rivals will at least be bisexual if you choose her.
  • However, the option of a female senpai may not remain in the final game without proper funding.
• Sometimes a rival's suitor will be in the same club or class, but this will not always be the case.
  • Not every rival's suitor will be the substitute club leader.
• Interestingly, all the suitors from 1989 are in classroom 3-1.
• If the rivals are eliminated peacefully without the matchmaking method, but they continue to attend school, the following week they will stop following the rival, but they will no longer be able to match.
• As of the May 15th, 2022 build, in 1980s Mode, if a rival and suitor is matchmade, they will sit in a bench together.
• Suitors would also reject Ayano/Ryoba's gossip about their crush.
• There was previously a bug that made Shoku Tsuburaya have a crush on the Headmaster instead of Amai.
• When a rival is matchmade with her suitor, she tells her suitor about her problem, for which the suitor will solve for her.
• A suitor can find their crush easily due to the rival wearing a perfume distinct enough that it leaves a "trail". This perfume isn't powerful, so it does not bother anyone.
