WyndiWingfall My analysis on Kurama's personalities.
Well, first and foremost: There is only one soul--which I must stress. No matter how different Shuichi and Youko seem...they are one. (How terribly cliche I sound.)
One soul, but I think we all can see three distinct personalities--which are just that, personalities. Not different people, which I have to stress again.
The Minamino Shuichi Side
The more human, polite, sweet, gentle, etc., genius. Of course, we all know that this is just a mask at the beginning, but later this side seems to show itself more and eventually fuse with the Kurama side. So it sort of becomes who he really is: a person with a dark past who has developed human qualities of love.
In fanfiction, Shuichi apparently has his trademark Fan Club of Doom! Well, that's his problem, isn't it? sweatdrop
The Kurama Side
Depicted the most often throughout the series. He's the calculating, precise, deadly tactician who can see people's weaknesses and exploit them so easily it's creepy. I like to think of this as Kurama's "main" personality: It expresses him the most.
I have yet to discover why Kurama is so eerily calm, because I don't take the entire "he has years of experience" lecture as a decent answer.
The Youko Kurama Side
The ruthless and cunning legendary bandit. (How like a fox, ne?) He can kill things in the blink of an eye and is a master at breaking codes and seals. Not someone you'd like to meet, unless you're a suicidal fool. This side was let go in the battle with Shigure, but it still is part of Kurama: It merely represents his past.
Many fanfiction writers depict Youko as a sex-craving pig. Excuse me while I hit them over the head with a sledgehammer. There's more to his life than that; otherwise he would hardly be deemed a legendary bandit.
3nodding And that's a brief version of my analysis. The long one would take a long, long time. I am not sure I could have put it any better if I had TRIED... Your post reflects my feelings and views on our favourite fox right down to a Tee!

I don't think that they have enough info (as in episodes) of Youko Kurama. I want to see more of him.

Minamoto Shuichi: His personality around his mother is sweet,caring,he doesnt want his mother to worry about him,he worries about her all the time. He'd definatly kill someone over her if they tried to harm her. His attitude towards his friends are smart,always saying the right thing to make one of them mad or confused for his own amusement. He would probably kill anyone over his friends too. Example: When Kaito had his friends souls in his hands he had thoughts about hurting one. That's when kurama threatend to torcher him until his soul didn't exist. When he is in his human form and fighting in a tournament, he has this seriousness about him and is always calculating his next move.
Youko Kurama: His attitude is if you look at me wrong I'm gonna snap your head off before you can take your next breath. He's rutless and blood thirsty and survives on brute instinct. He would probably kill his own men if they looked at him wrong.
Together shuichi's and youko's attitudes make for a feircesom force.

Hm. I have another comparison to make about Youko Kurama's and Shuichi's personalities.
Both of them fear death--in this regard, I think Youko Kurama fears it just a little more than what Kurama fears after he merges with Shuichi. After all, he's already died once at that point. Kurama seems to think that in certain times, death is an honor. To Karasu, Kurama once commented that Karasu was "worthy to fight, and worthy to die." Kurama, during his fight with Toguro Ani in the Sensui arc, also told the elder Toguro that he did not deserve to die; therefore, Kurama would make him suffer for all of eternity.
...Okay. So the view is similar. Never mind. sweatdrop

Some people are just that way. It just has to do with who they are. I have never become so outraged in any moment to make me openly express anger.

If we're talking about actual souls, I think Kurama has only ONE, but it has been influenced by his different bodies.
In my opinion, when Yoko went into Shiori's fetus's body, that became his body, but his soul did not change. He remained Yoko in the human body. What DID change him was the experiences he had as a human. His personality was changed after his life on earth, and Suichi/Yoko/Kurama are all ONE person. The only difference is their bodies.
While Kurama turns into his Yoko form, he is more demonic spiritually, as that form will change him, but it's still the same person. It's like how Inuyasha can change into a human. When he's human, he's still Inuyasha, just a little different. Kurama, in my opinion, is the same way, which is why I hate fanfictions where Kurama thinks and then Yoko chimes in with some snide comment. Basically, they're saying Kurama is schitzophrenic because he talks to himself. *smacks forehead*

HIEILUVER Basically, they're saying Kurama is schitzophrenic because he talks to himself. *smacks forehead* He only does so in the English version... In the Japanese version that doesn't happen at all. I've watched the whole series in English dubbing with the original Japanese translations on the screen to see what they changed, and they changed that. I think it's about the only think I am mad at FUNimation for doing.

I have yet to discover why Kurama is so eerily calm, because I don't take the entire "he has years of experience" lecture as a decent answer.
Some people are just that way. It just has to do with who they are. I have never become so outraged in any moment to make me openly express anger. I always thought that it was because, as much as he fears death, in some subtle way he invites it. His fight with Touya in the Dark Tournament made me look at him differently; he doesn't want to die, but I don't think he avoids it as strenuously as he really could. He has (as I've seen one person put it) an odd sort of self-persecution complex, and doesn't watch out for his own life as much as he should. This could indeed translate to absolute calm in the right person -- especially one who doesn't like to let others know his motives. HIEILUVER Basically, they're saying Kurama is schitzophrenic because he talks to himself. *smacks forehead* I've had him do that in my fanfiction, but it isn't really Kurama thinking with Youko chiming in; I just think that he has two thought processes going at any given time. He's got two sets of life experience to draw upon, and they're radically different, so I can see him thinking one way, then the other, and essentially arguing with himself until one wins out. This wouldn't fit my definition of schizophrenia, because I think it's two sides to the same personality, not two distinct personalities.

WyndiWingfall Bishonen_glomper I think that everyone in this part of the guild can agree that Kurama is better.... heart
Um. Wait. There was one who claimed Kurama was "girly." xd I've seen Kurama haters. I remember one's excuse was, "he had the least character development out of them all." I guess I can see where they're coming from with that, in a way, because they really DIDN'T get much into Kurama's past or personality as much, but I can hardly blame them with how vast his past truly is. I would have liked to see more about who he is as a person, though.
