I’ve realized you often mention Kise having a not-so-hidden yandere side, could you elaborate on it a little? Scenario or headcanons with his s/o, whichever you prefer?

here are my thoughts on the matter!

Kise Ryouta

• Haha I should have known this would come back to haunt me!
• Okay, so canonically, the managaka has said that the anime
  made Kise a little too ‘soft and nice’ at least that’s what he said according
  to the wiki page.  But even in the anime you can see hints of his not so
  sweet, cheerful and silly side.
• I headcanon that he has two sides to him – his bubbly,
  cheerful side that is excitable, loud and friendly – then his cold, arrogant
  side.  We should remember that Kise fit in with the other five really
  well, he went along with their terrible attitude and was literally one of them
  on that front.  He’s cold to people he doesn’t know or acknowledge,
  sometimes straight out ignoring them (remember how he was with Kagami at
  first?  And how he came to get Kuroko because he was being ‘wasted’ on
  Seirin, who he refused to acknowledge.)
• This dual-facetted personality forms the basis of my
  assertion that he’s yandere.  He’s a different kind of yandere than the
  other two characters that could, arguably, be called so – Akashi and
  Murasakibara.  Akashi is, I believe, 100% canonically yandere, Murachin is
  so by virtue of his jealous and possessive nature.  Kise is the smiley
  kind of yandere, the one that is warm and affectionate towards you outwardly,
  while inwardly thinking that you belong to him and that if you ever try to
  leave him he’ll lock you in a cage.
• Ironic, because he wants to be ‘free’.  Pretty much, I
  think he’s the type that wants to be free himself, but doesn’t want you to be
  so.  Whereas Akashi is possessive, but not jealous, he’s possessive because
  he’s jealous.  He wants you to look only at him and be the star that you
  revolve around.
• It’s important to keep in mind that yandere does not
  mean psychotic, and that characters can have yandere traits without being “I’m
  going to murder you for looking at my s/o.”  They can be
  violent, but they usually aren’t, and it’s a character type that exists on a
  spectrum, which becomes clear to anyone who’s ever played otome games.
• Kise is the needy-type yandere.  He loves you, and is hella
  affectionate, unafraid to show his affection in public.  But he is kind of
  controlling about your affections, because he wants them all for himself. 
  He’s selfish, inherently, which is the main factor in his yandere. 
• His yandere mostly only comes out when he’s angry, like his
  frozen side, or someone has threatened him or you in some way.  Sometimes
  it’s ridiculous, other times it’s understandable.  Like his cheerfulness,
  this side of him is overabundant and a little forceful.
• For anyone whose ever played Samurai Love Ballad Party, I
  see Kise as the same kind of yandere as Uesugi Kenshin – sweet and a little
  airheaded outwardly, but possessive and controlling inwardly. 

Really profound, I love your analysis.
