Ye Xiu's Smoking Habits

Ye Xiu is definitely an interesting character and protagonist. However, compared to most protagonists I found him the hardest to read, and at times I am unsure of his characterization, especially when I write him in my stories. One of the most notable trait he has is that he smokes, a lot. Even if the character design changes (which you cannot believe how often it happens, TKA has the most variety, and not limited to one media too, i kid you not). This is one trait that makes him easily recognizable, packed together with his sleazy look and side-parted bangs (im laughing as i write this down). Since smoking is part of his personality, it can be used a way to understand him better. Here's what I found after going through all the mentions of smoke and cigarette in the webnovel (please note that i might miss or not include some).

Ye Xiu cannot smoke on less cigarette, otherwise his head will hurt (Ch9)

Ye Xiu smokes when he wants to maintain his focus, particularly when pulling an all-nighter or using multiple accounts (Ch10, Ch55, Ch87, Ch290, Ch431, Ch530)

Ye Xiu always smokes right after he wakes up (Ch22, Ch30)

Ye Xiu smokes when he's thinking (Ch34, Ch71) or working (Ch55) or relaxing/calming down (Ch57, Ch529, Ch637), or winding down after winning the championship (Ch1726)

Ye Xiu prioritises smoking over eating (only two meals a day), saving money for cigarettes (Ch47)

Ye Xiu's smoke addiction is quite heavy that it's instinctive for him to reach for cigarettes in any kind of situation (Ch55, Ch57, Ch94)

Ye Xiu was also struggling in the crowd. With great effort, he was able to free one hand. And inside his hand was shockingly a cigarette!!! “You’re going to smoke at this time!!!” Chen Guo saw Ye Xiu deliver the cigarette into his mouth and turned furious! What was this guy. -Ch94

Ye Xiu's smoke addiction is still better/less worse than Wei Chen (Ch617). He can consciously kills the urge if it's not allowed (Ch101, Ch1084)

Their seats were already fixed. Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were placed right underneath the strong ventilation fan. Chen Guo already regarded them as smoke machines. -Ch618

Ye Xiu can blow smoke rings (Ch179)

Ye Xiu smokes in front of Su Mucheng (Ch331), besides fellow smokers: Wei Chen and Chu Yunxiu

Ye Xiu and Wei Chen give each other cigarettes when one thinks the other needs it (Ch640, Ch693, Ch769, Ch967) He does the same with Chu Yunxiu (Ch1347)

Ye Xiu smokes so often that it's become part of his image even for common people (Ch1011)

The mysterious God Ye Qiu, who never appeared in public, wasn't as arrogant as most people thought he was. Everyday, with a cigarette in his mouth and smoke circling around him, he chatted with everyone at Club Excellent Era. -Ch1011

Ye Xiu smokes when he doesn't know what else to do in social settings, either to break the ice (Ch926) or to keep people away (Ch933)

He wasn’t shy with strangers at all. It even seemed like he was the host: "Have a seat, everyone. Why are you all standing!" Everyone sat down. Ye Xiu impatiently fished out a cigarette. He didn’t forget to ask if anyone else wanted one, but the five Heavenly Swords people waved their hands and refused. Ye Xiu didn’t ask if they didn’t want to smoke or if they didn’t know how. In any case, he grabbed a cigarette and tossed the cigarette pack onto the table: "If you guys want one, feel free to take one!" Then, he quickly started lighting up his cigarette. -Ch926 As for Ye Xiu and Tang Rou, the two stayed curled in a corner. Tang Rou had casually taken a glass of wine to sip at while Ye Xiu held a very deep ashtray, going through cigarette after cigarette and filling the air around them with smoke. Tang Rou was a radiant-looking lady, yet no one had come up to talk to her, all thanks to Ye Xiu. -Ch933

Ye Xiu smokes when he wants to suppress/hide his emotions (Ch23, Ch91, Ch96, Ch1361), particularly when he feels sad and/or helpless (Ch500, Ch620)

His back against the wall, he fished out a cigarette and lit it. “What are you doing? Are you going to cry too? Do you need some paper?” Behind him, Chen Guo seemed to sense it. “How could it be? How could I cry?” Ye Xiu turned his body and conveniently puffed out a mouthful of smoke towards Chen Guo’s face -Ch23 In the third round of the individual competition, Team Excellent Era lost again. The spectators in the Internet Cafe began to look sinister. Everyone felt extremely terrible in their hearts. Some cursed at 301, some sighed in disappointment at Team Excellent Era. Chen Guo wasn’t feeling good either. She didn’t know when, but looking to the side she saw that Ye Xiu had already left her side and stood outside the door to smoke. The cigarette butt glowed brightly in the dusky night, but the person’s expression was indistinct. -Ch91 Liu Hao was about to argue when Ye Xiu dully said: “Don’t be so noisy. You guys are also public figures. If you keep on being noisy, then you guys won’t look good.” After saying this, Ye Xiu quietly took out a cigarette from his pocked, lit it, and put it in his mouth. -Ch96

You….” Chen Guo noticed that Ye Xiu’s expression was odd even after achieving victory. Happiness? None at all. He even seemed a little sad….. Sad? Chen Guo shook her head. She must be seeing things, how could he be sad? As she was about to say something, Ye Xiu stood up abruptly, “I’m going out for a smoke.” -Ch500 "Excellent Era getting relegated is my fault.” Ye Xiu expressed with sorrow. He didn’t wait for Chen Guo to refute and immediately continued: “But how would I have known that wiping them out in game would turn out like this? No one would have imagined that such actions would have so severe a consequence? But you can’t deny their current record either. They’re still young. They still have chances. They shouldn’t give up so easily. I don’t know what they plan on doing in the future. Too much has been happening recently. I want to be by myself for a bit. If you don’t need me for anything, I’ll be leaving.” Ye Xiu took out a cigarette after speaking. -Ch620 “Who cares about that,” Chen Guo huffed. “I’m asking you about your feelings on Excellent Era’s return.” Ye Xiu felt out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and nodded. “Pretty good.” -Ch1361

Also, for those with sharp eyes will notice that there's a significant decrease in the mention of smoking after chapter 1000+, matching the start of Professional League/GPA. This rather supports how serious (i remember using the word uncompromising, unyielding) Ye Xiu is when it comes to aiming for the championship (victory in general). Ye Xiu maintains his condition meticulously, going so far as reducing his cigarette intake, when he's a heavy smoker.

However, the most interesting discovery is that smoking is more than a habit for Ye Xiu, in some ways, it's a tool or a method(?) for him to keep him unreadable, to deal with his emotions, to hide his weakness. It's oft mentioned throughout the webnovel how difficult is to read Ye Xiu's expression, he rarely shows strong emotion. I don't think it's his natural disposition, but an ingrained habit either from his family upbringing or him raising himself and the Su siblings together while also leading a team. And when he goes out to smoke to deal with his feelings (as per the examples above), he tends to smoke alone. There's no mention of him having company when he does so. It leads me to conclude that for whatever reasons Ye Xiu believes emotions are not to be shown openly and to be dealt with alone.

This explains a lot really, why such conflict arises in Excellent Era. Ye Xiu remains unchanged throughout the years in his pursuit of victory and love and passion for Glory. However, people around him change, either they leave or their values differ. Ye Xiu with his skills and achievements, combined with his uncompromising attitude and unreadable expression, he becomes a distant, incomprehensible figure. It becomes easy to project their own feelings to him.

This is particularly highlighted when Excellent Era has an emergency meeting due to Ye Xiu for coming forward/no longer shying away from media attention. They all are afraid of what Ye Xiu will do, because they're putting themselves in Ye Xiu's shoes, and knowing what they've done, he has no reason to be kind. When in reality, Ye Xiu doesn't really care. He accepts the failure on his part. In the end, he treats his former club just like any other opponent, by letting action speak for itself. And they completely fail to understand this, their own God, their own captain for many years, which makes it so sad and tragic, because they never sees him as the person that he is.

Black Clover ch336

I dunno why but I didn’t really expect Yuno to turn up so soon. News about the wizard king being an enemy traveled around the kingdom pretty quickly so perhaps he heard what happened to Asta amongst all the chatter since he looks like a perfect blend of being shocked and pissed off. It still couldn’t have been too long since Kaiser (who also finally decides to shows up) mentions later that they still have seven days til judgement day.

Whether or not Yuno knew of the Asta situation prior to arriving or just by hearing the girl’s report, doesn’t matter really, I just love how everyone looks totally defeated by Asta’s disappearance. Heartbroken, scared, angry, all that good stuff. Exactly what I wanted to see. Not saying that to be rude of course, but because it shows just how important our boy was to not only his closest friends but even the captains.

Then we got Rill making jokes, which is typical of him really. He’s a cheerful guy and has a habit of trying to lighten the mood during the captain’s meetings we’ve seen in the past, it just wasn’t the right way to do so. He’s clearly terrified though about what happened. Even our royals are stressing. Fuegoleon I expected since he was always on good terms with Asta, but even Nozel? The same man who could care less the first time Asta was abducted by the Eye of the Midnight Sun? Ahh what a lovely development, though of course he could just be more concerned about the greater issue which is Lucius and the oncoming judgement day itself, but I’m gonna believe he at least acknowledges how vital Asta can be when dealing with devils. He cares even a tiny bit. They all do.

But no one seems more angry than Yami. Dude is fuming (and has gone through several cigarettes since last chapter, maybe a pack or two judging by the ashtray full of them in a different panel later). Unlike Yuno, I’m not at all surprised that Nacht shows up now. I was anticipating it honestly, but the fact he appears on Yami’s command as if he knew Nacht was listening in the whole time (most likely sensed his ki) is just perfect. And look at him with his new cape with the Bulls logo on it, aw. Instead of coming with answers like I was hoping for however, we’re told some nice info about his shadow magic’s capabilities instead and the unfortunate possibilities regarding Asta’s life. (I can’t get over Noelle’s expression..poor girl).

Jack brings up a nice parallel though with the elves, though much unlike William’s situation where he was aware of Party living within him, I doubt Julius had any idea about Lucius up until the very last moment before the latter took over in ch331. Suspicions maybe, at the very least, but a clear surprise and the takeover/soul swap/whatever you wanna call it wasn’t exactly agreed upon.

With all the troublesome news, I also forgot about how upset/frustrated Yuno might be feeling after learning about what happened to sister Lily as well. To worry about Lucius, all the devils, judgement day, Asta and the woman who practically helped raised him? Oh boy. He’s gonna need a vacation after all this.

I love how him & Asta’s rivalry stays so balanced with which each of them saying they’re always trying to catch up to the other because it truly does seem that way without them just being too modest. Yuno was always ahead of Asta in terms of magic power and squad rank while Asta acquires strength and willpower at the right moments, as Yuno remembers the battles Asta always surpassed his expectations.

Not to say Yuno isn’t strong because duh, of course he is. He’s been one-shotting powerful devils with no issue apparently.. so, good for him!

Other stuff happens with Lucius and him & Yuno declaring to defeat each other, but whatever. That’s all fine and well and to be expected. What worries me most is our boy Asta! Yes okay, he’s still in one piece and most likely alive, that’s wonderful and what I was hoping for. But I am certainly not fond of the tpn deja vu I’m getting right now from these last couple panels!

It’s never good when the protag is away from their family! But this stranger’s hairstyle reminds me way too much of Yami, so if it’s perhaps a relative of him then I guess it’s safe to assume that Asta washed up on Yami’s homeland right? The fancy tree, the glaring sun and this person’s clothes adds up to it too as it’s based on Japan.

Also “Oh, there you are,” isn’t something I’d say to someone I just met or found out about for the first time, so I wonder if this person, whoever the hell it is, knows Asta somehow. Regardless, I hope you at least have your memories boy!

It’s really interesting to see the difference between how Sanji and Zoro react to this situation. As I said before, after making his initial objection Zoro is quite content to let this play out, likely recognizing the argument as something that’s been built up to for a long time that needs to be resolved between Usopp and Luffy. Sanji here doesn’t defend Usopp, exactly, but also recognizes that Luffy’s about to say something he doesn’t really mean in a fit of anger, and much earlier in the chapter was the one physically holding Luffy back so he could at least explain what what was going on to Usopp in a calmer manner. It’s just fantastic characterization done through action, rather than words.
