Ryoba Aishi is the main antagonist of the Yandere Simulator fanfic The Escape and the posthumous overarching antagonist in Life Goes On.. She is the abusive wife of Soto Akiyami and mother of Ayano Aishi, who is far more viler than her original video game counterpart.

What Makes Her Pure Evil?[]

• After becoming obsessed with the young Soto Akiyami as a teenager, she decided to murder all of his friends who she saw as rivals.
• She kidnapped Soto and kept him in her basement, keeping him with the rotting corpses of his friends and even pretended to have killed her younger sister just to tear him down, before abusing and raping him into submission.
• After breaking Soto into a submissive husband, she forced him to change his identity and face to make him seem missing and kept him as basically a slave to her through their entire life.
• While originally loving her daughter Ayano and trying to shape her into another her, she quickly becomes jealous over Soto (not wanting Ayano to turn into an obsessive killer) spends more time with her, trying to drown her in a bathtub as a child.
• Even after marrying Soto and having Ayano, it says she kept up her murdering spree for no reason other than sadism.
• Her actions made Ayano try and get rid of a girl who she saw as a rival, leading her committing suicide and Ayano, remorseful over what she did, also tried to kill herself, although she was saved.
• After Soto incapacitated and tied her up, Ryoba attempted to sell Ayano to the Yakuza as either a sex slave or to be tortured and killed in a snuff film, which she expressed glee over the thought of watching it.
• Even after her death, her actions caused Soto and Ayano to suffer from PTSD due to her actions.
• While she has her Freudian Excuse, being born without much empathy nor emotional love for anyone, it does not give her any tragedy or moral agency issues, as not only does she go far beyond necessary, raping Soto and trying to murder Ayano as well as serial murdering for no reason, it is shown she can actually be capable of love, as Ayano, also suffering from the same illness, is shown to have sheen remorseful over her actions and is capable of changing, confirming Ryoba just chooses not to.

Trivia[]

• She is a heavily despised character within the Yandere Simulator community, especially in her last moments, due to her murderous actions as well as subverting her care for Ayano because she was "preferring" Soto over her while Soto was rejecting Ryoba for her actions. Fans hate her not only for being Pure Evil but also for being a sociopathic jerk in general. This becomes much more apparent in the spanish version of The Escape uploaded in Wattpad, where fans call her all sort of names for her actions.
• She is the only villain from Yandere Simulator (In a fanfic at least) to be Pure Evil. Her video game counterpart is not Pure Evil, as that version has genuine love for her daughter and moral agency issues that aren’t debased.
