** As far as I see it's not that Yukiteru was the only person to be "nice" to her after she killed her parents, it's that he "gave her a future". With her parents dead and rotting in her own house and having suffered from severe emotional abuse, Yuno had nothing to hope for--as she said, she was having "trouble" filling out her survey about her future. Someone could have said "Hey Yuno, you look nice today!" and it wouldn't have changed that. Yuki gave her something to ''look forward to'', i.e. that they would get married and see the stars together. Even if he didn't realize she was being serious.

* When Yuno went back to the vault, why didn't she notice there was no evidence of Minene's body? It's one thing for Yuki and Yuno not to notice before leaving -- they were distracted by the bomb failing to get through the second door. But Yuno had lots of time when she came back, and her attention to detail is legendary. Shouldn't she have expected to at least see a scrap or two?

* In episodes 13/14 of the anime, the deathtrap meant to kill [[spoiler:Akise, Mao, and Kousaka]] was changed from a room filling up with cement to a room filling up with gas. They manage to escape by [[spoiler:having Kousaka crawl through the air vent to the control room where Yuno, Yukiteru, and Hinata are, and having him unlock the door from there]]. That gives me two questions, though. First, how is the gas supposed to fill the room if there's an air vent? And second, why would [[spoiler:Yuno]] use gas when the air vent in that room is also connected to the vent in her own room (which means [[spoiler:it could be a threat to Yukki]])?
** That depends on what kind of gas it is. Many gases are denser than air, so they would settle on the floor and fill the room from the bottom up, only suffocating people when the gas level has reached their heads, in a manner similar to filling the room with water but without any possibility of swimming. Something like carbon dioxide would work, as it would be heavy enough to displace oxygen and eventually suffocate everyone in the room, but at the same time non-toxic enough that it wouldn't cause a problem from accidental exposure if a little overflowed into the control room.

* Why was Yuno able to [[spoiler:open the sealed vault? Sure, she was the real Yuno from the first world -- but she was still ''adopted'' even in the first world, and there's no particular reason why it would have been designed to open for the adoptive daughter of its creator. There were two reasons why the mayor thought she wouldn't be able to open it, and her backstory only answers one of them.]]
** That might be a bad reason, but that was the reason, also an adopted daughter isn't any less to most parents than a biological one, so that hardly matters. Maybe they wanted her to succeed the bank one day or have someone be able to open it in case of an emergency?
** Going with the above point, it can be assumed that, if her parents wanted her assuming control of the bank one day, they would plan on teaching her the ropes. Depends on how early they wanted to, but Yuno could have been taken to the bank long before in order to get a feel for the place by her father before he started drifting away from the family. Say the worst case scenario happens, and robbers try to get into the place while a young Yuno is there. What would be a better scenario? The young, defenseless daughter of the bank's head being stuck hiding under a desk or something in hopes they don't know who she is or that she can open the vault, or her with hopefully a head start being able to run into a highly secure and heavy vault until the cops show up? And even if she Were caught by said hypothetical bank robbers, there would be little danger of them using her to open the vault unless she tells them she can since a) she looks nothing like her (adoptive) parents and they would probably not know she's a child of her father's unless they read or heard about her beforehand, and b) even if they ''did'' know who she was, they might assume that there would be no reason for her to be able to open the vault given she's so young.
* The Future Diaries predict the future up to 90 days. This should be more than enough time for any competent Diary User to find a DEAD END, but most of them are caught off-guard, and some don't even have time to see the DEAD END.
** It is because the actions of diary users keep changing the future - the only predictions that stay valid for 90 days are those that would come true regardless of any diary user's actions. The dead end warning is only displayed once the user's death becomes almost certain.
** Even if not necessarily almost certain, a high probablility might be enough to trigger and keep a Dead End. Were that not the case, Yuki's first Dead End may have changed the moment Yuno showed up to help him against the 3rd, seeing as it was her intervention that saved him. But so long as 3rd was still alive, the probability of Yuki dying was high enough that the Dead End remained until the 3rd was actually eliminated.
* Episode 22, Yuki's friends are all rooting for him to win (and agree he is the most worthy to become god) but they discover [[spoiler: that even once he wins the game he won't be able to resurrect the dead, which would negate his primary reason to go on AND make him unable to cope with killing number 8 and Yuno]]. Instead of keeping this knowledge to themselves so that Yuki can win the game before [[spoiler: the world ends(it's visibly crumbling around them at this point) ]] they decide that they NEED to not only tell him, they need to get number 8 to safety so... so what exactly? They never explain what they planned to do after getting 8 away, even if Yuki went through with killing Yuno once he finds out the horrible truth he wont be able to kill 8 and win the game so the world will end. What the hell were they thinking?
** At that point, Yuki's friends thought that Yuno's main goal was to win the game and become the new god. Their reasoning was that Yuno wouldn't try to kill Yuki so long as there was another Diary User around. The entire point of the plan was to get Yuno killed ''before'' Eighth so she wouldn't have a chance to kill Yuki when all was said and done. Doing that required convincing Yuki that she was lying, and keeping Eighth safe long enough to do so. The better question is: Why didn't Akise kill Yuno when he had the chance? And, even better than that, why did he ''patch up her wounds?''
* ''Why does anyone have to die after it's just down to both Yuno and Yuki?'' Deus was the only arbitrator of the game, and he kicks the bucket, and Yuno is already conferred godhood in spite of Yuki not being dead only because they called it too early, so we know that the game and its completion isn't a condition bound by some unbreakable laws but just some really powerful entity looking for some good sport and he actually could have just given someone the throne.
** Mur Mur oversaw the game in place of Deus, and [[spoiler:even if she wasn't secretly working for Yuno]], she's still be bound by his rules (and {{Power Limiter}}s) to make sure the game follows the rules.

* When Yuki and Yuno face the Twelfth, he hypnotises four cultists to serve as the Twelfth Five. Yuno doesn't know who the real Twelfth is, so, realizing only one of them is blind, she throws a rock to the right, while moving her arm to the left. The blind Twelfth looks to the right, because of the sound, but all the other Twelfths look at the left, where they assumed the rock was being thrown. She then kills the real Twelfth. Problem is, the Twelfth Five all had the same mask, which has no eye holes...
