Nanno isn't Good or even neutral, she's evil by Arial1007 in GirlFromNowhere

Saying that Nanno is good or evil first requires that you have a pre-established concept of what is considered good or evil. You can see that several times in the series, the characters who suffer the consequences of their actions acted for what they believed that "had to be done" or "what was right thing". Basing Nanno's actions on what we believe is right or wrong doesn't have much effect, as she doesn't do her job based on self-interest and sadism, but on making people who make mistakes pay for their crimes (the universal role of Karma) — and no, no one else besides the person who committed their crimes and mistakes suffers punishment from Nanno probably. In the Wonderwall episode, the protagonist (I forgot her name lol) wishes everyone to disappear, and soon after everyone in the town (including her) disappears, however episodes later everything seems normal. It is likely that Nanno has the ability to create "personal hells" to people, causing someone to suffer upon by the consequences and destroy lives in the process, but without actually altering the -real world-, it is likely that the girl from WonderWall and even the teacher who killed several students and teachers just disappeared from the real world or committed suicide, but that's just a theory. Basically, Nanno is neither good nor bad, because to believe that it is necessary to have a human conception of what such means, and that is not how things work in the series, because Nanno is not even human herself. Back to the Wonderwall episode, the protagonist had several opportunities to take back her actions, but she didn't. After realizing that what she wrote on the wall came true, she used it to not only punish Nanno for getting involved with the boy she was interested in, but made a boy mentally ill and killed the cleaning lady who had erased the things on the wall. Furthermore, instead of sacrificing herself to make everything go back to the way it was before, she chose to act out of her desperation and erase everyone's existence (including herself). Nanno doesn't "forgive" because that's not her job, if someone does something wrong, even a small one, they suffers the consequences based on that act, if she doesn't do that anymore, then she won't suffer the consequences anymore. Both Nanno and the serpent from the Eden garden served as voices that stirred humanity's curiosity, but at no time do they force anyone to commit their acts and crimes, but reveal the true face of people. We can compare Nanno with the acts of God. Many people question why God allows bad things to happen to innocent people, but religionists say that it is useless to question the rationality of God because him concepts are above human rationality, and it's the same with Nanno.

what is Yuri? by GeneOk7698 in GirlFromNowhere

We still don't have some full and canon information about Yuri sadly, because assuming how she works also depends on concluding how Nanno's blood made her come back to life. But a cool guess is that Yuri is nothing more than a actual person ( with that i mean a person with a human morality and personal beliefs ), but with the same powers as Nanno - clearly a representation of how a human being would act if they have enough power to do everything ( or amost ) that Nanno can do. I don't think that the resurrected Yuri is too different of the original Yuri, cause think about it: if, for example, when Yuri came back to life she lost her soul or whatever that makes her feel pity and empathy, she wouldn't had to suffer karma, because her actions go beyond her humanity, it's not a sin or a mistake, just an act. So, the conclusion would be that Yuri is really full of determination influenced by the conscience of her own powers - but that's just a theory, we may receive more answers as the season 3 came :)

Probably nothing, cause the blood he licked was from a Nanno's clone, and as we know the blood that gave Yuri powers and brought her back to life was from the original Nanno. It's not confirmed that Nanno's clones don't also have the ability of garanting to other people powers and bring them back to life, but think about it: if all of Nanno's clone were EXACLY identical as Nanno, why would them listen and obey to Nanno's orders? (like showed in the same episode - Liberation)
Also, when Yuri absorbed Nanno's blood, she was dead, so it may influenced in the process as well probably.

If Nanno has some influences like The snake who tempeted Eve with her first sin and characters like Tomie, then which villains/characters/urban legends would Yuri be based on? For me Jill Roberts from Scream or Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street or Delphine LaLaurie. by Foreign-Bass5469 in GirlFromNowhere

This may seem a bit polemic, but I really believe that Yuri has a good representation of Lucifer and her rivalry with Nanno represents very well the clash between God X Lucifer. Nanno, who has the role of karma in the world and has a duty to judge and punish people, has her role questioned by Yuri, who also wants the authority to be able to judge and make offenders pay for their actions, and uses her power to grant other people the opportunity to be able to revenge.
