Abstract

This study aims to analyze the individuation process of the main character in the anime Charlotte, Otosaka Yuu, using Carl Gustav Jung’s analytical psychology theory, specifically focusing on the integration of the four main archetypes: persona, shadow, anima, and self. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through careful observation of the anime, including transcripts of dialogue and relevant screenshots. The analysis reveals that Yuu experiences a complete process of individuation. Yuu gradually discards his persona and begins to live more authentically. Yuu’s shadow is acknowledged and accepted without being allowed to dominate his behavior. Yuu’s anima develops through his emotional connection with Nao, which helps him access his empathy and vulnerability. Ultimately, Yuu reaches the self, a state of psychological wholeness, marked by his willingness to sacrifice himself for others based on inner conviction rather than external validation. This transformation demonstrates that Yuu achieves an integrated and mature personality through his internal journey and interpersonal relationships. This analysis demonstrates how anime can depict complex psychological growth, offering valuable insights into character development and the symbolic representation of the human psyche in popular media. The study contributes to anime studies and highlights the applicability of Jungian theory to modern visual storytelling.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
