YU-NO, short for Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO (A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World, YU-NO), is one of the early classic visual novels. Originally released in 1996 by ELF Corporation for the PC-98 with a port for the Sega Saturn, it remains a highly rated work and has strong elements of an Adventure Game of the Point-and-Click type. YU-NO was a pioneering visual novel, becoming a Trope Codifier for various tropes commonly used in visual novels and anime. The game is seen as the breakthrough project from writer Hiroyuki Kanno, and he would later explore similar concepts in his following stories after he jumped ship from ELF and started his own independent development company, Abel, in late 1997.The story begins with the disappearance of the protagonist Takuya's father, known to the world as an eccentric and controversial historian. Though he is presumed dead, Takuya soon receives a package from the supposedly deceased man containing an odd set of items the purpose of which Takuya does not recognize. After wandering about a little investigating, he winds up at the local landmark Triangle Mountain, which is a large rock of unknown origin that has scholars confused.While at Triangle Mountain, Takuya first runs across a beautiful naked woman who after kissing him suddenly drops dead and vanishes completely. Confused, Takuya is then suddenly confronted by a former friend and colleague of his father named Ryuuzouji. With him is Takuya’s young stepmother, Ayumi, who appears to have no idea what is going on. After Ryuuzouji pulls a gun on Takuya and demands the odd package he received from his father, things take a turn for the bizarre as suddenly space seems to warp and Takuya is suddenly alone at Triangle Mountain.Takuya arrives back home and makes a startling discovery: The device his father sent him is some sort of dimensional hopping device that allows a form of pseudo-time travel via alternate dimensions. After approximately 50 hours, Takuya will be looped back to Triangle Mountain without his memories and be forced to explore yet another alternate world. On the bright side, your inventory of items is retained from previous loops, which is pretty much necessary since there are multiple items you need in one route that you can only acquire in another.A four episode OVA series aired from October 23, 1998 to September 24, 1999.A remake developed by 5pb. was announced in 2014, and was released in Japan in 2017, with North American and European versions being released October 4th, 2019. It is based on the Saturn version, though with the 18+ content removed. A Retraux Gaiden Game, 8-Bit YU-NO's Great Adventure, was released at the same time and given for free to those who pre-ordered the remake on Nintendo Switch, and retells the story of the True route through a 2D platformer / Shoot 'Em Up hybrid, out of all things.A 26 episode anime series aired from April 2, 2019 to October 1, 2019, with an OVA airing on December 26, 2019.The following tropes below appear in the first half of YU-NO. After this section of the story is complete, the story undergoes a shift into the True route, which is very spoilery and thus the details and tropes for that half are listed in a different folder below. As a side note, 8-Bit YU-NO's Great Adventure's premise also spoils the True Route, so tropes relating to this game have been put in a different folder as well: Open at your own risk.

Multiple Endings
 YU-NO (Visual Novel) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: There are four main heroines, each of which has several endings, both good and bad apart from Mitsuki, who only gets bad endings as well as a true route and epilogues. In order to get the good endings, you generally need to have seen the bad endings first and to go rather out of your way.

The Tease: Takuya, but only towards Mio and Eriko. He doesn’t know Kanna well enough, Ayumi wouldn’t take it well and he and Mitsuki already had a previous relationship. Push come to shove, he’s not nearly as bold as he pretends.

comment
Trope Codifier: Of various tropes commonly used in Visual Novels and Anime. For example, the multiple route mystery structure in visual novels. YU-NO was the first VN in the medium to tell a compelling mystery through multiple routes and events, with saving and loading being exploited as an in-universe power rather than a simple gameplay mechanic. This inspired many later modern visual novels down the line, such as Steins;Gate or the Zero Escape series.

Surprise Incest: It’s never stated outright but Amanda being flung fifty years into the past and having a daughter is a pretty clear indication that she had a daughter, Kanna, and that the father was most likely Takuya. The two of them never learn that, apparently, but the reader will figure it out.

Parental Incest: Takuya has sex with Yu-No at her request near the end. Unlike all the other sex scenes, this one gets a discretion shot before any penetration occurs. A bit of thought about the story will also reveal to the reader that Amanda is Kanna’s mother, making Kanna another example in hindsight.

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: Unlike most visual novels at the time, routes in YU-NO are less centered on romance, and more on uncovering the various mysteries surrounding the town of Sakaimichi. Ayumi's route mostly deals with Geo Technics' suspicious work on the coastline; Mio's route explores the origins of Sword Cape / Triangle Mountain, as well as the unexplained lighting strikes on the beach; Eriko and Mistuki share a route, focused on Ryuuzouji, his involvement with Koudai and Imagawa, and his hidden motivations; and Kanna and Kaori, while sharing most of their route, have different endings revealing information about the Celestials and the Hypersense stone respectively.

Immortality Begins at Twenty: In appearance, that is. It actually only takes them a few years to reach that age in appearance at which point they stay like that for a few decades.

Oblivious Guilt Slinging: In Mio’s route, it’s clear that Yuuki is the one who told everyone about the corruption of Mio’s father right from the start and when you see the two speaking along with Mio apparently oblivious you can see his composure go out the window when she says that thanks to this incident she’ll be moving away and thanks him for his support. But it’s actually a subversion. This is the conversation where she figured out for sure that Yuuki was really the one who had done it and presumably just didn’t want to hurt him by pointing it out directly.

Posthumous Character: Arima Koudai’s status is pretty questionable throughout the story, though he’s considered dead in universe and alive by Takuya. After the true route you can say he’s really not dead or alive since he’s moved himself outside of the dimensional axis in some manner in order to observe creation. He makes no direct appearances. Professor Imagawa, the third researcher, also died beneath Triangle Mountain some months prior.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The official translation of the remake is very unpolished, with sentences coming of as nonsensical (Characters tend to say "Okay" instead of "Yes" or "Yeah", leading to very strange conversations), most mentions of yens being converted to American dollars for some reason, and the very awkward removal of Japanese honorifics for standardized, English ones. Yuuki saying Ms. Mio might be perfectly in-character, but Mitsuki saying Ms. Mio? Not as much.

In Kanna’s route she blatantly sets you Takuya up to take the fall for her when stealing from Geotechnics.

Apocalyptic Log: After becoming trapped beneath Triangle Mountain until she grew too weak to escape after figuring out how, Professor Imagawa simply set about recording her last days. Her last entry states that instead of waiting to starve to death she’s going to impale herself on a spike that’s sticking out of the wall as a more ‘dignified’ way to die.

For the Evulz: The fake Ryuuzouji has no clearly defined motives. He just seems to be enjoying himself.

Omnicidal Maniac: The fake Ryuuzouji is hoping to wipe out both Earth and Dela Grante. Wiping worlds out of existence because it just seems to be what he likes to do.

 YU-NO (Visual Novel) / int_b58642b1
comment
Trapped in Another World: The Isekai plot twist that precluded the second act of the visual novel was genuinely revolutionary in 1996, making YU-NO a Trope Maker or Trope Codifier.

Love Triangle
 YU-NO (Visual Novel) / int_b7e0c5ff
comment
Love Triangle: Yuuki likes Mio, who likes Takuya. Takuya’s response depends on the route. Ayumi route: The end of Ayumi’s route has Takuya attempt to cut one short by proposing to Ayumi. On the other hand, during the Kaori branch of the Kanna route the above triangle is subverted in favor of Ayumi knowing that her husband still loves Takuya’s mother and is determined to undo her death in some manner. The implication is that Ayumi was just a friend and a tool. Also, Mitsuki still likes Takuya and Mio gets jealous of her and feels like they’re competing.

Crossing the Desert: Takuya tries this twice. The first time he fails: Sayless tries to stop him, he spills all his water due to an earthquake, and he eventually decides to stay with her. On the second time, years later, he is accompanied by Yu-no, and they run out of supplies but manage to find an oasis.

Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: Takuya's initial objective is to investigate his father's mysterious disappearance, and find if he's still alive somewhere across dimensions. However, this leads him to unveil bigger and bigger mysteries, and by the end of the True route, he has to prevent two universes, including his own, from being anihilated.

Immortality: It’s mentioned offhandedly that the potential inherent in the Reflector and new approach to history could even lead to this. Takuya’s mother was immortal for some reason and Kanna might be as well.

comment
Anti-Frustration Features: The remake adds a very useful and optional hint feature, showing where you need to go to advance in the timeline (Showing multiple, color-coded locations if the route branches off), as well as showing which items you can get and use when needed. You can also turn on the option to reveal the answer of a specific puzzle in Mio's Route (See That One Puzzle in the YMMV page), if you don't feel like solving it by yourself. The ADMS itself is now color-coded for each route, making the map much easier to navigate and keep a track of.
