I hope no one hates Kotoyuki's character because of the ending...
Unfortunately, the story of Silent Hill can’t truly be romantic. Kotoyuki really does love Hinako, but in order to be with her, those suffocating rules and traditions have to be carried out. And well, even in Japanese folklore, when a fox falls in love, it can never reach that love. In the true ending, Hinako doesn’t end up with Kotoyuki. And that’s exactly what Silent Hill is about—otherwise, Kotoyuki clearly protected Hinako and showed his love. But in the end, Kotoyuki symbolizes forced marriage, the loss of one’s true self, and the acceptance of imposed obligation 💔 ( But the part where he seems like a supportive husband and what he says in that letter makes my heart tremble..Even if a traditional marriage happens, there must be a man like that for that marriage... otherwise, that marriage is useless.🤣😭
Kotoyuki didn’t control Hinako out of malice or scheming; he was also a tragic figure trapped in that same system of manipulation and obligation. In one of the endings, it’s even implied that he has to restrain his own power so that he doesn’t harm Hinako, and he allows Shu and Hinako to live and escape. So> what exactly is the power of the Kyūbi? The Kyūbi (九尾) or Nine-Tailed Fox > comes from Japanese folklore and East Asian mythology (China.Korea.Japan).
In Japanese legends' the Kyūbi no Kitsune is a supernatural and powerful being that grows more tails as it ages and gains wisdom (up to nine tails). When it reaches nine tails' it attains the peak of its power and can act almost like a god. In some stories the Kyūbi is shown as a demonic and dangerous creature that brings corruption and destruction. But in other traditions (especially in China) it is sometimes portrayed as a wise or even protective being. In Silent Hill f >Kotoyuki’s connection to the Kyūbi legend shows that his love and obligation toward Hinako were not entirely his own choice.he was influenced by this ancient power and the traditions tied to it. This means that in the bad endings, it may have affected Hinako’s mind.
