Yuuta Togashi

Yuuta Togashi (富樫 勇太, Togashi Yūta) is the main male protagonist of the Japanese light novel series and anime, Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!.

He is a founding member of the Far Eastern Magic Napping Society of Summer.

He is voiced by Jun Fukuyama. In the English dub, he is voiced by Leraldo Anzaldua.

Character Outline
Yuuta Togashi is a high school student who once upon a time (the prior school year) exhibited "chūnibyō" (middle-school 2nd-year syndrome) tendencies. During his middle-school days, he named himself the Dark Flame Master and declared that he had dark powers. Whenever he thinks about this behaviour, he feels extremely embarrassed, and so he tries hard to conceal this part of his past from others. He enrolled into Icho Private High School which is farther and is a different school from everyone else from his middle school. On the first day of school there, he befriended a girl named Rikka Takanashi, which he immediately came to regret due to her embarrassing chūnibyō antics. He later develops romantic feelings for Rikka, and the two start going out near the end of Season 1. Other friends are Makoto Isshiki, who sits behind him in class, and Shinka Nibutani, who also has a history of chūnibyō behavior.

Appearance
Yuuta has short brown hair which falls into a slight fringe, green eyes and a slightly tanned complexion. He is most often seen throughout the series in the standard school uniform of a white dress shirt, tan colored sweater, a striped red school tie, and the standard school blazer. Outside of school he generally wears jeans with either a jacket or hoodie, except in special cases where a change of wardrobe is appropriate such as during summer vacation.

Personality
Yuuta is usually very kind and treats everyone well; however, when someone mentions his 8th grader syndrome, he quickly becomes embarrassed and ashamed of his chūnibyō past while being aggressive towards the person who mentioned it, usually Rikka, Dekomori and Kumin. He is also diligent and responsible, often being the voice of reason in the group. He often hits Rikka on the head when she says something that is related to her chūnibyō roles to stop her, causing one to question why they like each other.

Background
Yuuta lives with his family which consists of his mother and two younger sisters, Yumeha and Kuzuha. When he was younger and still had chūnibyō, he believed he was the Dark Flame Master and behaved in ways that usually confused his family, sometimes embarrassing his family members in front of others however the people other than his family thought he was cool at that time.

After Yuuta becomes older, he tries to leave his chūnibyō past behind him and attempts to behave like a normal person, although he occasionally slips back into his old self out of habit.

Season 1
He is the protagonist of the anime series and during the first season he maintains his life as a normal student while developing his friendship and then romantic relationship with Rikka

It also shows us how it creates bonds of friendship with other people and how the chunibyo creates different reactions in people and how it affects different people

Takanashi Rikka Kai ~Gekijouban Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!~
The plot of Yuuta in the movie is the same like the anime, but it added the situation of Rikka and that she will have to live with him and the first appearance of Satone Shichimiya, which readies the story for the second season.

Season 2
Yuuta is the protagonist again. This season is about how his relationship flows with Rikka despite there being several obstacles for the two of them.

Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai Movie -Take On Me-
Yuuta and Rikka elope, taking a long journey across Japan while finally affirming their relationship with each other, with Yuuta understanding in the end that it was everything about Rikka herself that made him fall in love with her.

Dark Flame Master
Dark Flame Master (ダーク・フレイム・マスター Dāku Fureimu Masutā, abbreviated as DFM) is Yuuta Togashi's chūnibyō persona during his mid-schooling period.

Character Outline
DFM is a warrior that mastered the ways of handling dark flames.

He speaks in a deeper voice than Yuuta, using up most of his New Year’s savings on Dark Flame Master gear, chanting spells before meals, and meditating under fluorescent lights in the form of a pyramid at night. With the Wicked Lord Shingan's (Tyrant's Eye) help, he is able to awaken a stronger version of his dragon, the Dark Flame Dragon that is hidden inside his arm.

Appearance
DFM always wears gothic clothes, ranging from a black belted jacket to dark black belted pants. He has also been seen wearing a long black coat with fur shoulder pads. His weapon of choice is often his large sword but he also has a shotgun at his disposal (assumed to be airsoft since firearms are illegal in Japan).

DFM vows to never loosen the "cursed bandage" on his right arm because doing so will unleash the Black Flame Dragon to the world.

Personality
DFM has a very dramatic personality, with his ultimate aim being to rule the world. He likes to act out his Dark Flame "abilities" and other fantasies, although appears considerate enough to avoid getting into trouble when out in public. He occasionally returns into his Yuuta personality by mistake when flustered, especially when talking to his family or close friends. His catchphrase is "Vanish into the embrace of dark flames!".

Trivia

 * Just like Shinka Nibutani, he rolls on the floor or punches an object nearby whenever he remembers his chuunibyou days and get embarrassed. He even mentions to Nibutani that the wall has done nothing wrong when she launched several punches into the wall because she remembered her chuuni days, even though he punches his own refrigerator when he remembered his chuuni days.
 * After Rikka finds how to awaken the Dark Flame Dragon kept inside Yuuta and successfully brings it out, he is now called "Guerzoniansus" in Season Two or "Gelzoniansus" in the movie. According to Yuuta, this is the Dark Flame Master's "true name" before his era as The Dark Flame Master.

Note: I just summarized the trivia I added, I might be wrong on some parts on the trivia like the name "Guerzoniansus or Gelzoniansus" since I last watched this anime a year ago and I think I watched this anime in it's early subs. Like Rikka's alias in her own page in this wiki such as "Wicked Eye, Tyrant's Eye, Eye of the Wicked Lord, Wicked Lord Shingan", so I'm not sure which is the right one in the two. It looks like no one in the fans or editors in this wiki had the strength to put Yuuta's other alias as Guerzoniansus, or they probably just forgotten about it. The KyoAni arson incident has been over a year now, so it's time to update this wiki. I'm about to engulf the people who didn't want to edit this wiki into the Dark Flames by my imagination, (I'm just kidding).

Good Luck for those whoever responds to my requests on order to edit or add more informations unto this wiki, whoever is strong enough to edit shall see the Ethereal Horizon. You are a "Yuusha" almost as strong as the Tyrant's Eye :). Peace out, please don't criticize me for this kind of edit in the Wiki.
