Nayuki's Arc: VN and Anime Differences

July 5, 2009 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Nayuki's younger self is so cute... especially with the snow rabbit.
Nayuki's younger self is so cute... especially with the snow rabbit.

Although Nayuki’s arc got shafted in both adaptations… but since I got the opportunity to play the actual visual novel, I can point out several things that were different from Nayuki’s abridged arc and the original.

Warning, VN spoilers ahead.

The Same

– Yuuichi’s past when he was crying at the station and Nayuki tried to confess her love for Yuuichi and giving him a snow rabbit which got destroyed.
– Nayuki gets a gift from Yuuichi (a red marble)
– Nayuki fixing the wrecked snow rabbit outside of the school and using the marble as a replacement for the eye.
– Yuuichi asking about her braided hair which she had in the past.
– Yuuichi wanting to record over the tape on the alarm clock
– Akiko’s accident and Nayuki’s depression

Differences

– Yuuichi and Nayuki study together in her room, but in the game, it was done more than once for each subject for the exam.
– Nayuki and Yuuichi takes a break outside and Nayuki tells her why Winter is her favorite season.

Notice: Visual Novel Content

First Night

Nayuki: Are you use to this town yet, Yuuichi?
Yuuichi: Yeah.. I’ve become better at irgnoring the cold, but… It really is cold.
Nayuki: Of course… I’m cold too, you know.
Yuuichi: What, really?
Nayuki: I’ve always live in this town, but cold is cold. But I love this town… In winter, it’s covered by white snow… In spring, the streets are full of falling sakura petals… In summer, it’s noisy with cicadas… In autumn, I’m surrounded by the falling leaves and then, the snow starts to fall, and the winter that I love begins again. This town is nice, isn’t it?
Yuuichi: Do you like winter the best of all, Nayuki?
Nayuki: Yeah. Winter is special.

Second Night

Nayuki: This is the best place for a break.
Yuuichi: … but it’s so cold.
Nayuki: You won’t wake up if it’s not cold.
Yuuichi: True…
Nayuki: I often come out here during winter.
Yuuichi: Even in this cold?
Nayuki: Yep, because there’s snow here, even if I don’t go outside. That’s why… Because I love this snow.
Yuuichi: I don’t really like snow though.
Nayuki: That’s a bit different. You must hate this town, Yuuichi… am I wrong?… I want you to like this place, Yuuichi. You once love this town. I want you to go back to that time, Yuuichi or is it… hopeless?
Yuuichi: I don’t know…

– Nayuki gets out her depression… She kisses Yuuichi after making a promise. In the anime, she never kissed Yuuichi or made the promise to have Yuuichi to support Nayuki.

Not in the Anime

– Yuuichi’s recorded message

Spoiler InsideSelectShow
Note: Visual Novel Content

Nayuki, I can’t make a miracle happen, but I can be by your side. I promise if you’re in despair I will comfort you. At happy times, I will laugh with you. Even in winter, filled with snow; even in spring, when the sakura tree blooms; even in the quiet summer; even in fall, when the color of leaves change; and even if the snow starts to fall again. I will stay here. I will not go anywhere. Because I…I really like you.


– Yuuichi confession to Nayuki (obviously, since the series seems to perfer Ayu alot more for Yuuichi:

Note: Visual Novel Content
…
Yuuichi takes Nayuki out before studying for English to the station where his past memory happened and Yuuichi confesses his love for Nayuki which surprised her and make her leave..
…
Yuuichi: I’m really sorry…
Nayuki: … don’t… Don’t, Yuuichi,,, Those words I wanted to say to you, Yuuichi…I’ve already forgotten them…
Yuuichi: I… But I love you Nayuki.
Nayuki… Yuuichi?
Yuuichi: Not just as someone whom I get along well with… I love you as a woman, Nayuki.
Nayuki: … you’re terrible. to say something like that now… it’s not fair… I… don’t know… Even if you suddenly say something like that, I don’t know… *leaves*
…
Later that night… Nayuki knocks on the outside door to talk to him.

Nayuki: I was really surprised today. I never could have imagined that you would ever say those words to me, because I didn’t think that you would ever remember what happened that day. That’s why I could only answer with “I don’t know” *looks at sky* I’ve… thought about it since then… I kept thinking about it. I’m not very smart, but I thought about it as hard as I could.and then, I finally reached an answer… No matter how many times I thought about it, this was the answer I came to. My answer was, 7 strawberry sundaes. Then I’ll forgive you.It’s a special service, just for you, Yuuichi. After all… It’s looks I’m… Still in love with you Yuuichi. *Yuuichi embrases Nayuki*

Notes:

The “7 strawberry sundaes” refers to the 7 years that Yuuichi didn’t show up at Nayuki’s house.

– Yuuichi leaves the alarm clock Nayuki gives in front of the door with the recorded message mentioned before.

Final Thoughts about Nayuki’s Arc

Nayuki’s arc is probably second to last (before Shiori’s Arc) to be neglected… since people don’t have the full impression of her arc… After playing some of Nayuki’s arc, it seems that the Anime left out alot of her arc besides the past memory, Akiko’s accident and Nayuki’s depression. After playing her arc… Her arc is pretty tradgic… and enjoyable with all those “Unyuu~” and Yuuichi trying to wake her up… but If you have seen the anime and have the game… you might become a little disappointed on how they adapted her arc in the anime… It’s not a whole lot.
