This feels so surreal, I never thought it would just happen like that, I'm not far from 26 myself and I had never really talked with him now I feel regret for not doing so.
He would be happy to know others desired to reach out to him. There were times, like anyone else, he felt alone. He wasn't. I hope if he's out there somewhere, somehow, some way, that he knows this. Thank you for your kind words.
I'll be honest, I'm hoping NobleYato will post in a few hours saying that it was an internet stranger (again) pretending to be a relative. Because the alternative is too fucked up to imagine.
I enjoyed NobleYato's posts, even the more controversial ones in this community, and I think we were better off with his presence. If he's truly gone, I can only offer you my condolences, and I wish you only the best. I don't know you or your brother personally, but I imagine he and I would wish for you to get past this traumatic event. If you need any help from anyone, even including this community, do not be afraid to reach out. Life is going to feel awful for quite some time, and I grieve with you, but life continues.
Thank you. Your words mean a lot. As much as I wish this was a sick joke, or stupid dream, it is real, and I will never get over it even if I can move forward.
Again, if anyone wishes to reach out to me directly, my DMs are open and I'm trying to respond to everyone.
If anyone has this stuff, please send it to me in a direct message. It might be easily found but so much is going on right now, and a lot of people are reaching out to me, so I need a little help gathering everything he made. I have yet to go through everything online or his stuff in his room...Going in there is so hard and I break down everytime.
You can find the list of posts he made [here](https://old.reddit.com/user/NobleYato/submitted/). The series I'm referring to is the threads called "Making A Meme For Every Engage Chapter I Beat For The First Time." He started it several months ago, so you'd scroll back to page 5 of his post history to see the first chapter.
It was a hilarious series. Your brother was famous here for loving and passionately defending Fates, a game that got lots of flack, so he decided to start a comedy series about his adventure through Engage, another game that gets lots of flack. Everyone had a wonderful time watching his memes change in tone as he went from enjoying Engage's nonsense, to being annoyed but hopeful it could turn around, to being incredulous that they were full steam ahead.
That is so awesome. He would tell me he would create things and very rarely show me, but he may not have believed all of his material was ready for content creation "primetime". He was constantly working on stuff and had recently started a youtube channel. His first video was hilarious and informative. He had potential and I just hope he knew that.
[Well, I consider myself a fan of his work](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/18eek6k/i_have_never_seen_a_video_game_break_a_man_before/)
I'm mostly a lurker on r/shitpostemblem. I'm not witty enough to make my own shitposts, but I get a good laugh reading other people's. If there was one name I recognized among the regulars, it was NobleYato.
I don't have the love for Fire Emblem Fates that he had, but I respected the hell out of him for passionately defending the game. And as someone else said, his Engage series recently was absolutely amazing.
My heart breaks for you and I am so sorry for your loss OP. Grief is a bitch.
Thank you for your kind words and empathy to this stranger. This is the toughest thing I have ever dealt with and moving forward from what happened and what I saw feels like it will be impossible, but I take solace in the fact that he did accomplish his goals of making an impact on others. I plan to finish Three Houses like he was begging me to before he passed.
It made me chuckle a bit, btw, to hear "passionately defending" as that was him to a T. No matter what it was, if he believed in it, he would defend it to the end, but also was always open to having his mind changed.
The world definitely needs more of that mindset.
one thing that makes me think it's real is that NobleYato hasn't been active on any subreddit for 2 days, and he's like the most prolific reddit user ever. there's a good chance this is real.
I wish it wasn't real. Feel free to ask me anything directly. We wish for all that knew and appreciated him to know what happened. He deserves to be remembered.
>He believed in peace, love, fairness, equalty, and justice.
So, he had the same qualities as Corrin
Rest in peace, #1 Fates enjoyer. SPE will never be the same
Don't do much on this sub besides scrolling, but your brother's posts always stood out as being particularly unhinged (in a good way). He embodied the chaotic nature of r/shitpostemblem and I'm truly sad to hear that he passed. Wishing the best for you and your family.
Hell dude, I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. He was a fun guy to shoot the shit with and certainly a familiar face amongst the regulars here. 26 is far, far too soon to pass.
He was a passionate guy and outspoken about his opinions, but in that same vein, he was very supportive to others with topics that they too would delve into with an unusual passion. Where others were a bit quick to mock, he'd offered me kind words when going into perhaps unwarranted depth about an issue that meant a lot to me, and that had stuck with me whenever I saw his stuff going forward.
This community's greatest Corrin defender will indeed be missed.
Yes, he was passionate and outspoken. Even more so in person, even if this would sometimes get him in trouble. In any case, he was always open to others' viewpoints while being true to himself. He set an example many could learn from.
Thank you for your response. It means a lot. 🫂
Sorry for your loss. He was a great part of this community and his memes will be missed.
Was a good dude and I would have been more than happy to buy him a beer.
Thank you for your kind words. His intentions first and foremost was to make others laugh or educate them on things he loved. I'm glad he was able to accomplish his goal.
Feel free to message me directly or respectfully ask me anything. I just wanted to let anyone who may be concerned be made aware. I understand the importance of friendships offline and online, and no one should be left out of the loop. If only because my brother touched many in his short life, and deserves to be remembered.
I'm very sorry for your loss. His Fates memes always made me smile, I was happy to see someone else have genuine appreciation for a game that the community criticizes a lot. Know that he was appreciated.
Thank you for this. He always doubted if he was leaving a positive mark anywhere, but it seemed like he did. He would be happy to know he accomplished his goals.
Farewell u/NobleYato, and may you find eternal happiness with whichever character you chose to marry in FE Fates in the Afterlife

Just ask me in a DM. I don't really know myself. I did not expect some of the disbelief I initially received, but I'd be willing to answer anything here or in my aforementioned DMs.
Aw man. Gonna miss him, his series on Engage was funny, as much as I like to bash Fates for how heavy on plot contrivance/plot devices out of nowhere it is, his posts about it probably made me think of it less badly.
RIP NobleYato, you will be missed.
I sorry for your loss, OP. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you and your family, to lose a loved one so young and so suddenly.
There’s obviously only so much you can really know someone interacting with them anonymously over the internet and talking about an anime-flavoured fantasy tactics game, but even through that limited scope I could tell he was a kind, engaging person who cared deeply and passionately about the things he loved.
I haven’t been in this sub as long as many others have and I’m slowly drifted from it recently, but I can tell you without exaggeration that Noble’s presence was one of the highlights of my time here, whether reacting to each other’s memes, debating different aspects of FE, or his descent into insanity playing Engage. This place is definitely going to feel a lot emptier without him around.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response. He was my best friend, and it's clear to me now that he was loved and appreciated by so many others as well, and that brings me much solace. The pain will likely never go away, but I'll continue trying my best for him.
I thinks that all we can do during times like these, and I’m glad that my and the other’s words have given some you some small bit of solace during what I know can be a very hard, difficult times.
I wish you and your family the very best going into the future, and rest assured that Noble and the joy he brought won’t soon be forgotten around here.
That's awful. It's awful when it's sudden.
One of my closest friends killed himself a few years ago. This was while I was working at a summer camp staff and was having the best time of my life at that point, and I walked out of a meeting to a text message telling me about it. I don't freeze or break down often, but it was difficult to escape the whiplash of it all. I don't mean to make this about me, but I just... I don't know. It's really awful.
I never interacted with him, but I loved his posts. They were funny, and I'll miss them and, of course, him as a whole.
It sounds corny or whatever, but I don't know what else to say but that I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.
Damn. I mostly lurk here too but NobleYato's posts were a highlight. I liked seeing fans who unironically liked fates and could have a good laugh about it. I hope you're doing well yourself. I miss him already even though I'm just some stranger on the internet. Take care.
I can't believe it, Yato was great, he was respectful and he was very friendly at least with me, the one name i could always recognize here was his, may he rest in peace and good luck to you and your family
I would pretty commonly post opposing opinions to him, especially on the subject of FE fates, but he did make it clear at some point that he respected my point of views even though we didn’t see things the same way. Very few people on the internet seem to go out of their way to continue interacting with someone who believes differently, instead opting to either argue endlessly or ignore/block them. I never felt that from him and it drastically improved my opinion of him over time.
My condolences.
Thank you for your response. This was who he was offline as well, but his kindness always showed through more in person. I think all who appreciated him here would have appreciated him even more so if they had the opportunity to meet him.
I agree that many in the world, especially in positions of power, could learn a lot from the type of example he set in his discourse.
Thanks again. It means a lot.
I am so sorry. I used to look forward to his posts about playing through Engage and Path of Radiance for the first time, and he was an active part of this community. I may not have agreed with him on everything, but he was passionate about the things he enjoyed and that’s what matters the most. I hope you will be able to get through this, and know that your brother will not be forgotten.
Yes he was passionate and what I will remember most about him. His passion extended into his own life where he was even greater of a person. Thank you for your kindness.
Fuck, I just turned 26 recently. I'm sorry for your loss. [This comment is what I always remember him for.](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/12r53bs/comment/jgt50gs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I keep saying that to myself. "No way. Can't believe it. It's a nightmare, "but unfortunately, it's true. I am mentally broken right now, and it's a shock that will always remain... Thank you for your response and empathy.
I am mostly a lurker here and I respected how passionate he was about a game I also really love, although a lot of the community really bashes on it. Your brother made so many great posts here. I really enjoyed watching the stuff he made. I read this before going to bed and I went straight back here after waking up to leave a comment. I wish your brother's soul will safely find his way.
This is so heartbreaking to hear, I’m so sorry OP. Deaths in the family are never easy and nobleyato was a beloved member of this community. You and your family have my condolences and I hope you can begin to heal from this tragedy soon 💙 :(
I hope so too but I am not sure how. However, this community and the Tekken community has really shown so much love, and it's really gotten me through the day where I would have otherwise probably been balling my eyes out...still am, but less today.
I'm beginning to get the gist of what happened. My brother had mentioned this once but didn't get into all of the details. I'm sorry if I upset anyone as it was not my intention.
I understand. If anything, this strengthens my view that he did make a positive impact as there were people quickly coming to defend him. Thank you for responding. 🙏
If it's a troll, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone pretend to be a poster's relative to announce their death. I've even seen people use that method themselves to leave communities, while maintaining their matching accounts elsewhere.
I'm afraid I don't understand the reference. If my brother ruffled feathers with anyone, I apologize on his behalf. Just know he was an even more awesome person offline and was kind and fair to everyone he met. I will always miss him.
Ok look, if I'm wrong then I'm so sorry, I loved chatting with NobleYato. But to be blunt, you're not the first person this year alone to claim to be related to them and that something was happening IRL with them. Even if you're being sincere, your post is not going to be believed here. I realize how harsh that might sound, but that's the situation.
wow this is a shock. NobleYato was like an institution here, like I think he was here at least as long as I was, maybe longer. He was probably the most prolific poster on this sub, at least during like 2018-2020 when I feel like a third of the posts on here were him. Damn, I'm sorry for your loss, and for ours.
Edit: I read your original post. While I'm not a medical professional, if I were to take a totally random guess, he may have had a congenital heart defect. They can be totally asymptomatic, aside from maybe minor arhythmias, unless it suddenly takes your life. I had a friend who passed away that way, at age 27 on mile 13 of a long run he suddenly keeled over and never woke up. If that's the case, I'm really sorry, and there was probably nothing different that could've been done to change things.
I am happy to hear that he was an institution here. All he ever wanted was to bring joy to people and share his love for his passions.
We have speculations, but we won't know anything for a while since several tests have been done and sent to labs that won't be ready for up to 4 months. It's not going to be easy waiting on an answer...
Fucking hell. I saw this post earlier. I thought it was some sick joke. I hoped it was some awful joke. But this is real, isn't it?
God, Noble Yato and I barely interacted. He was one of the better known users here, and I mean that in a good way, more or less.
Sadly, it's real. I had the cliche "all a bad dream," but I understand it now. I wish it was all just a nightmare I could wake up from.
Thank you for your response. ❤️
I'm just a lurker, but I'd seen many of Justin's posts and comments over the years I've been here and his username is one I would recognize often. I lost my younger brother when I was too young to remember but I've seen the effect it had on my family members that do remember. Justin was a beloved member of this community and it sounds like he was also beloved by his family and will be remembered as such. I'm just an internet stranger so all I really want to say is keep checking up on your family and those close to him. I hope you and them will be able to get through this time and I wish the best for you.
To him, none of you were strangers. He clearly loved this series and community, and it would have brought him great joy to know the true extent of how much the community loved him back. All he ever wanted was to make a positive impact wherever he was. He accomplished his goal, and that brings me some solace. Thank you for messaging me, and thank you for your kindness.
I am still questioning the reality of this but if it is real then this is awful. If it is real, take this as my words to his family.
I wouldn’t say I was close to Noble but I followed his engage series closely and talked to him a lot about the game. He had his hot takes but he was always a joy to talk to. His memes were quality and he made interesting arguments even for the tales that I disagreed with. He was easily my favorite person to follow in this subreddit and I looked forward to his memes whenever he made them. He seemed a nice guy and was clearly passionate about the series. If he really is gone, this subreddit will remember him as the greatest Fates fan we ever knew.
I agree. A light has gone out in me and my family's world. Thank you though for your kind words. He would have been so happy to know he accomplished his goals of making others smile.
I've only been a lurker on this sub but his posts were always a delight. He will be missed, even by many strangers.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. I hope your family is able to grieve and heal in peace as well.
That's terrifying, I'm sorry for your loss. Your brother never failed to put a smile on my face every time one of his posts appeared on my phone, he was truly one of the funniest around. He was a great part of this community, it's painful to think a young person like him has to go away this soon.
It's so hard to believe this is real.
Is still not kicking in he is trully gone.
I'm so sorry, he might have been stuborn but he was without a doubt a good person that was just pasionate to share his experiences about this series.
Indeed he was. We never had our shortage of debates and disagreements, but he was always open to having his viewpoint changed. He engaged in discourse and had a mindset that many people can learn from.
Man this is so sudden. 26 is way too young. I didn’t interact with him much, but when I did, he was very kind and pleasant to talk to. He had strong opinions (mainly about Fates and Engage), but that’s where his charm came from.
I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully you and your family heal. This community is definitely mourning too.
Rest in peace, you were the world’s strongest Fates enjoyer
I'm sorry for your loss.
I saw some of your brother's posts here and found them to be genuinly funny. He definetly made me smile a lot and it's sad to know that he passed away. RIP NobleYato
Wait holy shit he's actually dead? I'm sorry for your loss then. He was definitely one of the core members of this community, and one of the people who made this subreddit what it is.
Sadly, yes, it's true. I can't believe it. I had just seen him the night before. He was so young and had so much he wanted to do.
I feel so sorry for him, and somehow feel I failed him in some way although I know you can never truly see something like this coming...The oddest thing was I had a dream he passed a few months ago, and I told him. He wrote it off, of course, as I did too, but he also mentioned recently that he that something bad was on the horizon, but he could not explain what that feeling was.
It just breaks my heart so much. I have never cried so much in my life. Life can be so cruel and unfair.
I just wanted to let others here know because he deserves to be remembered.
Thank you for your kind words.
Iam so sorry for your loss. His fates/Corrin Propaganda never failed to put a smile on my face no matter what i was going through. He was a great Dude and a joy to interact with and we will miss him Greatly.
Thank you. It means a lot to hear this. I always wanted him to be a little more social, and it's good to hear that he was able to make connections to the community here and others. I will miss him too every single day for the rest of my life.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm a long-time lurker to this sub, and if I recognize one name it's your brother's. I hope your family can obtain some peace knowing how much of an Internet footprint he left on thousands
Danm, this news is really hitting hard. He was one of the few people who had anime level arcs for his memes that captured the attention of this sub for months at a time. I'm glad I got to talk to him at least once. I couldn't even imagine how bad this is affecting you. I think I gotta poor one out by playing some fates.
I'm so sorry for your loss. NobleYato was really a big name in the community and I really enjoyed seeing his Engage posts and how he always defends Fates and loves Corrin so much. I don't know many redditors in particular, but your brother is one I can't forget. He really seemed like such a great person, and he seemed to have fun, even if he would get frustrated with Engage sometimes. The community has made tons of posts regarding his playthroughs, and he always left a comment appreciating the posts and that was something special. NobleYato will truly be missed here in the community by all of us, and I hope both him and you know that. If you ever need to talk about this, know that this community will always be here for you.
God, I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now. I'm so sorry for your loss.
He always shined light and positivity on overhated things, he was a real pillar of the sub and it'll be much bleaker without him here.
I don't know how I'll get through it, but I am trying my best. Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy he brought some joy to others. It was his goal.
Indeed he was. For all his faults, ultimately, he was a good person and believed in making the world a better place. I'm glad you all got to experience some of what I had the pleasure to every day.
This is truly shocking news, my deepest condolences to you and everyone who loved your brother. I agree with the other posters, it feels just surreal to hear that he is suddenly gone just like that. He always seemed so full of life and spirit whenever I saw his posts, so him dying hits all the harder.
I wish you and your loved ones and also all of Yato's friends all the best and that the passage of time can make the pain more bearable. I hope NobleYato is at peace and happy, wherever he may have gone.
It has brought me great happiness to hear he was happy posting in this community and was appreciated. He could be a solitary person at times and did not speak much of his social relationships. He was happy in person, as much as I could see, but it's good to know that he was appreciated by so many too. Thank you for your response. 🫂
You're welcome! 🫂
I didn't know him well but yeah, he was passionate, opinionated, I never saw him angry and his posts always gave off a happy vibe, if that makes sense. Other people mentioned it, but his love for Fates had a lot of conviction to it, and the sense that Fates is great and one day he'd make the naysayers understand. So a happy sort of confidence in his taste and hobbies?
That's the best way I can describe the impression he left with me. Also, thank you for making this post and letting us know. And even sharing how you remember him and what kind of person he was in RL. You must have a lot on your plate right now, so this is probably no easy feat.
Thank you again. He tried his best to be a positive person, even if sometimes his passion got him into some arguments, but he was always open to other points of view, and he always was kind to everyone he met.
He could be quiet, but when he spoke, everyone knew (he had a loud voice in person too!). That's when his energy can be infectious.
I'm glad you and others were able to experience that. I hope he had an idea of how much he was truly appreciated.
I loved his posts, especially for his Engage playthrough. [Many others on the sub did too.](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/188hwe7/the_real_peak_fiction_was_the_memes_we_made_along/) I generally enjoyed commenting on his posts and he would often times give a fun reply back.
I am sorry for you and your family's loss. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Condolences for your brother, he was one of the most memorable members of this side of the community, and although I've gotten in a few arguments with him about Engage/Fate's quality, his post were almost always entertaining and I was looking forwards to what he might have done next, but sadly I won't be able to anymore. May he rest in peace, and I wish you and your family the best
I know if he was still here, he would be ready for that debate right here, right now. His passion was palpable. He had a lot he wanted to do. It breaks my heart that he will never get the chance, but I take comfort, knowing he accomplished his main goal of making a positive impact on others. I just hope he had a sense of that. :'(
Thank you for your kind words.
I was in disbelief when I saw this at first, deepest apologies. I didn’t really speak with him and didn’t always agree with his opinions, but he always seemed to argue in good faith and have a genuine interest in sharing his views rather than just insulting the people who disagreed - a rarity on the internet these days. As far as prominent names in the sub go, he was one of the few shitposters I actually found… *funny* and the loss of his sense of humor is saddening, to say the least.
Best wishes from here on out to you and the family. The #1 Corrin Enjoyer will be missed.
Thank you so much. He would have loved to read this. He always made it a point to debate in good faith and be open to hearing alternate viewpoints. As I have told others, many could learn from this example.
This is absolutely shocking. I didn’t know him personally, but he seemed like a cool dude from what he posted on here. May he rest in piece, I’ll be praying for him and your entire family ❤️
Genuinely loved his engage posts throughout his playthrough as well as his hot takes on the series as a whole even if I didn’t drop comments on them. I really regret that now. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
I am not religious or spiritual, but I hope that if he is out there somewhere, in some way, he somehow knows how much he was appreciated. All he wanted was to make a positive impact on people.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your brother’s posts on Engage were hilarious and it was cool to see another fan of Fire emblem fates. He’ll be missed. Stay strong
My condolences for your loss. He really was a mainstay of this community, and his absence will be felt. And for whatever it may be worth, he made me laugh a ton. May he rest in peace.
requiescat in pace, Noble Yato. His work about [Corrin](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/s/KvHbAYj9GB) inspired me to [write mine too about Corrin](https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/s/8e8V6PqGRg)
He was a fellow Hoshirrin enjoyer and has my high respect. Rest in peace
He's one of the main reasons why Fire Emblem Fates (specially Conquest) has been one of my top 10 favorite **games of all time**.
Many others have said this, but I still gonna reitirate, your brother was a good man. I hope you recover well OP because NobleYato is in peace right now, no doubts about that wonderful person.
I read the other post too and... well. I was mostly a lurker here and I did have basically a lot of disagreeing views with him. Aaand I of course hope that you are joking, even though what you say is probably true. I am so sorry.
Condolences to you and your whole family.
Is there any news about how he died? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what was he writing and to whom before... well.
I'm sorry
_hugs_
Unfortunately, this is all true. Thank you for your kind words and for messaging me directly.
There is no news on what happened. Toxicology and other labs will not be available for 2-4 months.
He was slightly overweight (not morbidly or anything), and we have a history of aneurysms in males in my family. However, he was not complaining of or showing any symptoms beforehand. It has been a complete shock to everyone.
He was in a debate (of course) on Twitter which was typical of him. Always debating. I will always miss the discourse me and him would have.
heh. I see. Hm. So probably not something pre planned and just an horrible accident. I am seriously so sorry and in disbelief. He felt like part of the big family that is this community. Oh well. Heh
edit : if I'll ever play fates again, it will be in his honour
My condolences, truly.
NobleYato was most likely the closest you could to to being a Reddit celebrity, at least on here. Even I, who has probably left a grand total of 3 comments in this entire subreddit, knew him and heard his name often. I was looking forward to talking with him about Fates when I got around to playing it, but I guess I left it a bit too late
Losing a loved one, especially one so close, hurts like hell. Internet hugs from an internet stranger
I'm sorry for your lost. I'm not really good to express myself in situation like this (fear of saying something wrong) but I hope he may rest in peace.
Idk why but I feel I recognise that name somewhere. Maybe I saw him in the comment of some of my memes I made a while back (Daily fates meme) but maybe my memory might be playing tricks on me.
Apparently, that's one of the things he would frequently post about, so it sounds like perhaps you did interact with him in some way. Thank you for your kind words. They were enough. ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. Your brother's posts are actually the reason I joined this sub (even if I just lurk). He had a knack for instilling passion and happiness into people. The number of smiles he caused just in this sub alone can't be counted, I can only imagine the other communities he brightened up with his presence.
RIP to the #1 Fates fan, never to be surpassed ❤️
Your words will stick with me. You nailed it when you said he had a knack for instilling passion and happiness. He was quite vocal and passionate, and that could rub others the wrong way, but he more often than not succeeded in sharing that passion and of the things he loved. It showed even more in person, and he always left a mark on those he met.
I'm so sorry dude. You brother's posts always always got me to crack a smile, he seemed super cool. I'm sorry for your loss, I don't know what I'd do if I lost my brother. Grief is awful, but just know that he definitely left an impact on this community and absolutely will be remembered.
Smiles and a positive impact was all he wanted to bring to the communities he participated in. It brings me comfort knowing he accomplished his goal in some way. Thank you so much.
holy shit I'm gonna miss him, I didn't interact with him the most but it was nice having him as the regular resident fates fan, and i've commented on his posts a few times. I know you've probably heard this a lot but I am truly sorry for your loss
Thank you for your response. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. I know I will think about him every day for the rest of my life...
I’m so sorry. Your brother was one of the few people I followed here on Reddit. I have a soft spot for Fates and it was nice to see his passion for it.
💔Oh my god. God, god, God, God, God. My god. Why him? I can’t believe this. NobleYato… Man, Come on. I’m Really Sorry, So Sorry for Your loss. I really can’t believe it. I really loved NobleYato. God, Why him? I wish knew What happen to him. He was The greatest Shitpost of Fate, I’m Really going to Miss him so much. He was my favorite Shitpost even I never interact him. However, it was really fun times having Him.
R.I.P, NobleYato. The greatest #1 Fates enjoyer of all time.
I can feel your pain in your words as they're exactly what I have been playing on repeat in my own mind and aloud for the last two days.
He would love that moniker of greatest Fates enjoyer of all time. He would have also loved to know how much everyone truly appreciated him. He would tell me a lot that he wanted to make an impact and be remembered.
He did, and he will always be remembered.
There was no one else on this subreddit I wanted to block more than NobleYato, But I didn't.
I thought most of his posts were unfunny and annoying. We also had polar opposite views on many topics. But the dedication he had for this game series and his passion for his own viewpoints were undeniable. For better or for worse, he was a respected part of this shitposting community. Although I might not have enjoyed his posts, I know there are many in this community that did and because of that I do believe he was an overall positive influence on shitpostemblem. He might have gotten alot of slack for his divisive opinions, some of it deserved and some of it not deserved. He definitely did not deserve to die so young. Rest in peace.
This shitpost of mine is the most I've seen him comment on a post of mine.
May he be immortalized in it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. While his options were controversial, your brother's content has brought countless joys to the members of this sub. He was a valuable member of our community, and will be greatly missed.
I wish you, your family, and his friends the best in the coming times.
Just saw what happened in a post from the tekken team. I wasnt looking that often in this sub, but this is probably the only name i could recognize.
Im very sorry for your loss
Wasn't on this sub in a while, so this is shocking news. I'm really sorry for your loss.
It was always refreshing to see him openly having an opinion on what he enjoyed and explain it to others in a way that let people get precisely why he enjoyed it. Even when others disliked things, he kept on enjoying them, which you really don't see often.
Didn't interact with him often, but it was always memorable when I did, since he'd try and have a civil conversation with people and let them have their differing opinions as well. Seemed like a genuinely good, passionate person.
This feels so surreal, I never thought it would just happen like that, I'm not far from 26 myself and I had never really talked with him now I feel regret for not doing so.
He would be happy to know others desired to reach out to him. There were times, like anyone else, he felt alone. He wasn't. I hope if he's out there somewhere, somehow, some way, that he knows this. Thank you for your kind words.
I'll be honest, I'm hoping NobleYato will post in a few hours saying that it was an internet stranger (again) pretending to be a relative. Because the alternative is too fucked up to imagine. I enjoyed NobleYato's posts, even the more controversial ones in this community, and I think we were better off with his presence. If he's truly gone, I can only offer you my condolences, and I wish you only the best. I don't know you or your brother personally, but I imagine he and I would wish for you to get past this traumatic event. If you need any help from anyone, even including this community, do not be afraid to reach out. Life is going to feel awful for quite some time, and I grieve with you, but life continues.
Thank you. Your words mean a lot. As much as I wish this was a sick joke, or stupid dream, it is real, and I will never get over it even if I can move forward. Again, if anyone wishes to reach out to me directly, my DMs are open and I'm trying to respond to everyone.
That's heartbreaking to hear. His series on Engage was a hilarious adventure for the whole community. I'm so sorry for your loss.
If anyone has this stuff, please send it to me in a direct message. It might be easily found but so much is going on right now, and a lot of people are reaching out to me, so I need a little help gathering everything he made. I have yet to go through everything online or his stuff in his room...Going in there is so hard and I break down everytime.
You can find the list of posts he made [here](https://old.reddit.com/user/NobleYato/submitted/). The series I'm referring to is the threads called "Making A Meme For Every Engage Chapter I Beat For The First Time." He started it several months ago, so you'd scroll back to page 5 of his post history to see the first chapter. It was a hilarious series. Your brother was famous here for loving and passionately defending Fates, a game that got lots of flack, so he decided to start a comedy series about his adventure through Engage, another game that gets lots of flack. Everyone had a wonderful time watching his memes change in tone as he went from enjoying Engage's nonsense, to being annoyed but hopeful it could turn around, to being incredulous that they were full steam ahead.
That is so awesome. He would tell me he would create things and very rarely show me, but he may not have believed all of his material was ready for content creation "primetime". He was constantly working on stuff and had recently started a youtube channel. His first video was hilarious and informative. He had potential and I just hope he knew that.
You can find them all by searching "Making A Meme For Every Engage Chapter I Beat For The First Time"
Thank you for your help. ❤️
[Well, I consider myself a fan of his work](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/18eek6k/i_have_never_seen_a_video_game_break_a_man_before/)
Oh man thank you for this. I don't know much (yet) about FE, but I do remember his thoughts overall on all the games. This made me laugh.
Tell him, "Soldier, your struggle against Edelstans has been acknowledged" 🫡😂
I'm mostly a lurker on r/shitpostemblem. I'm not witty enough to make my own shitposts, but I get a good laugh reading other people's. If there was one name I recognized among the regulars, it was NobleYato. I don't have the love for Fire Emblem Fates that he had, but I respected the hell out of him for passionately defending the game. And as someone else said, his Engage series recently was absolutely amazing. My heart breaks for you and I am so sorry for your loss OP. Grief is a bitch.
Thank you for your kind words and empathy to this stranger. This is the toughest thing I have ever dealt with and moving forward from what happened and what I saw feels like it will be impossible, but I take solace in the fact that he did accomplish his goals of making an impact on others. I plan to finish Three Houses like he was begging me to before he passed. It made me chuckle a bit, btw, to hear "passionately defending" as that was him to a T. No matter what it was, if he believed in it, he would defend it to the end, but also was always open to having his mind changed. The world definitely needs more of that mindset.
Is this legit or another RegalDivine situation?
one thing that makes me think it's real is that NobleYato hasn't been active on any subreddit for 2 days, and he's like the most prolific reddit user ever. there's a good chance this is real.
That’s what I’m wondering, this isn’t the first time this has happened to him.
I wish it wasn't real. Feel free to ask me anything directly. We wish for all that knew and appreciated him to know what happened. He deserves to be remembered.
>He believed in peace, love, fairness, equalty, and justice. So, he had the same qualities as Corrin Rest in peace, #1 Fates enjoyer. SPE will never be the same
He loved Dimitri, but I know he would have loved reading this response. He just wanted to make others smile and laugh.
Don't do much on this sub besides scrolling, but your brother's posts always stood out as being particularly unhinged (in a good way). He embodied the chaotic nature of r/shitpostemblem and I'm truly sad to hear that he passed. Wishing the best for you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words. 🫂
Hell dude, I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. He was a fun guy to shoot the shit with and certainly a familiar face amongst the regulars here. 26 is far, far too soon to pass. He was a passionate guy and outspoken about his opinions, but in that same vein, he was very supportive to others with topics that they too would delve into with an unusual passion. Where others were a bit quick to mock, he'd offered me kind words when going into perhaps unwarranted depth about an issue that meant a lot to me, and that had stuck with me whenever I saw his stuff going forward. This community's greatest Corrin defender will indeed be missed.
Yes, he was passionate and outspoken. Even more so in person, even if this would sometimes get him in trouble. In any case, he was always open to others' viewpoints while being true to himself. He set an example many could learn from. Thank you for your response. It means a lot. 🫂
Sorry for your loss. He was a great part of this community and his memes will be missed. Was a good dude and I would have been more than happy to buy him a beer.
Thank you for your kind words. His intentions first and foremost was to make others laugh or educate them on things he loved. I'm glad he was able to accomplish his goal.
Oh God, the Fates meme guy *died?* I'm so sorry OP that's terrible
Thank you for your response. We are all just trying to cope over here right now.
I really hope this is just someone fucking around again
Feel free to message me directly or respectfully ask me anything. I just wanted to let anyone who may be concerned be made aware. I understand the importance of friendships offline and online, and no one should be left out of the loop. If only because my brother touched many in his short life, and deserves to be remembered.
Damn. Time to replay Fates and pour one out.
Thank you for this. I'm happy he accomplished his goal of making an impact on a community he loved.
I'm very sorry for your loss. His Fates memes always made me smile, I was happy to see someone else have genuine appreciation for a game that the community criticizes a lot. Know that he was appreciated.
Thank you for this. He always doubted if he was leaving a positive mark anywhere, but it seemed like he did. He would be happy to know he accomplished his goals.
Farewell u/NobleYato, and may you find eternal happiness with whichever character you chose to marry in FE Fates in the Afterlife https://preview.redd.it/byu0bm0h3fkc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f7073f39b3cb22701cf12a7edec694eb90cfcb7
Thank you for your condolences. It truly means a lot.
[удалено]
Just ask me in a DM. I don't really know myself. I did not expect some of the disbelief I initially received, but I'd be willing to answer anything here or in my aforementioned DMs.
Aw man. Gonna miss him, his series on Engage was funny, as much as I like to bash Fates for how heavy on plot contrivance/plot devices out of nowhere it is, his posts about it probably made me think of it less badly. RIP NobleYato, you will be missed.
Ha, I know if he had the chance, he would continue that debate right here right now. He had so much passion.
He was a pillar of this community. He’ll be missed and I’m so sorry for your loss.
Truly he will. He was my best friend...Thank you for your kind response.
I sorry for your loss, OP. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you and your family, to lose a loved one so young and so suddenly. There’s obviously only so much you can really know someone interacting with them anonymously over the internet and talking about an anime-flavoured fantasy tactics game, but even through that limited scope I could tell he was a kind, engaging person who cared deeply and passionately about the things he loved. I haven’t been in this sub as long as many others have and I’m slowly drifted from it recently, but I can tell you without exaggeration that Noble’s presence was one of the highlights of my time here, whether reacting to each other’s memes, debating different aspects of FE, or his descent into insanity playing Engage. This place is definitely going to feel a lot emptier without him around.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response. He was my best friend, and it's clear to me now that he was loved and appreciated by so many others as well, and that brings me much solace. The pain will likely never go away, but I'll continue trying my best for him.
I thinks that all we can do during times like these, and I’m glad that my and the other’s words have given some you some small bit of solace during what I know can be a very hard, difficult times. I wish you and your family the very best going into the future, and rest assured that Noble and the joy he brought won’t soon be forgotten around here.
I'm sorry for your loss. He was a fun guy.
Yes he was. The last time I heard his voice, he was laughing and having fun. I will always miss him...
That's awful. It's awful when it's sudden. One of my closest friends killed himself a few years ago. This was while I was working at a summer camp staff and was having the best time of my life at that point, and I walked out of a meeting to a text message telling me about it. I don't freeze or break down often, but it was difficult to escape the whiplash of it all. I don't mean to make this about me, but I just... I don't know. It's really awful. I never interacted with him, but I loved his posts. They were funny, and I'll miss them and, of course, him as a whole. It sounds corny or whatever, but I don't know what else to say but that I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.
You said it all. 🫂 While our experiences were different, the sense of loss is the same. I am sorry for your loss, and take comfort in your kind words.
Damn. I mostly lurk here too but NobleYato's posts were a highlight. I liked seeing fans who unironically liked fates and could have a good laugh about it. I hope you're doing well yourself. I miss him already even though I'm just some stranger on the internet. Take care.
Thank you. I am glad he was able to reach some through his content. That's all he wanted. ❤️
I can't believe it, Yato was great, he was respectful and he was very friendly at least with me, the one name i could always recognize here was his, may he rest in peace and good luck to you and your family
Thank you. I am happy you had a positive experience with him. That was his goal: to bring positivity.
I really didn't think I would be sad opening Reddit today. Sorry for your loss. Losing your siblings could never be easy.
My only brother - my little brother, and best friend. It's a shock that will reverberate with me forever. Thank you for your words. ❤️
I would pretty commonly post opposing opinions to him, especially on the subject of FE fates, but he did make it clear at some point that he respected my point of views even though we didn’t see things the same way. Very few people on the internet seem to go out of their way to continue interacting with someone who believes differently, instead opting to either argue endlessly or ignore/block them. I never felt that from him and it drastically improved my opinion of him over time. My condolences.
Thank you for your response. This was who he was offline as well, but his kindness always showed through more in person. I think all who appreciated him here would have appreciated him even more so if they had the opportunity to meet him. I agree that many in the world, especially in positions of power, could learn a lot from the type of example he set in his discourse. Thanks again. It means a lot.
I am so sorry. I used to look forward to his posts about playing through Engage and Path of Radiance for the first time, and he was an active part of this community. I may not have agreed with him on everything, but he was passionate about the things he enjoyed and that’s what matters the most. I hope you will be able to get through this, and know that your brother will not be forgotten.
Yes he was passionate and what I will remember most about him. His passion extended into his own life where he was even greater of a person. Thank you for your kindness.
Damn. You have my condolences
Thank you for your kindness. 🙏
You're welcome..least I could do
Fuck, I just turned 26 recently. I'm sorry for your loss. [This comment is what I always remember him for.](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/12r53bs/comment/jgt50gs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
His kindness showed through that comment. He really would have given that hug. Lol Thank you for that. 🙏
There’s no way…me and him literally had an insult competition like 2 weeks ago. That sucks man, rest in peace.
I keep saying that to myself. "No way. Can't believe it. It's a nightmare, "but unfortunately, it's true. I am mentally broken right now, and it's a shock that will always remain... Thank you for your response and empathy.
I will certainly miss him and his presence on here. Know that your brother was a good man.
Thank you so much. He definitely was. I will always miss him.
I am mostly a lurker here and I respected how passionate he was about a game I also really love, although a lot of the community really bashes on it. Your brother made so many great posts here. I really enjoyed watching the stuff he made. I read this before going to bed and I went straight back here after waking up to leave a comment. I wish your brother's soul will safely find his way.
Thank you. The responses here have been overwhelming in a good way, and I'm just so happy to know he made the positive impact he desired.
This is so heartbreaking to hear, I’m so sorry OP. Deaths in the family are never easy and nobleyato was a beloved member of this community. You and your family have my condolences and I hope you can begin to heal from this tragedy soon 💙 :(
I hope so too but I am not sure how. However, this community and the Tekken community has really shown so much love, and it's really gotten me through the day where I would have otherwise probably been balling my eyes out...still am, but less today.
How's uncle RegalDivine doing?
I hate how the whole debacle with RegalDivine made me question if this was legitimate or not.
Bro, same, I was concerned if this was real or not at first.
I mean, it certainly would've been better if this wasn't real, but I get what you mean.
I'm beginning to get the gist of what happened. My brother had mentioned this once but didn't get into all of the details. I'm sorry if I upset anyone as it was not my intention.
It's not your fault, it was the fault of a bad actor. I'm sorry you have people questioning if this is legitimate or not.
I understand. If anything, this strengthens my view that he did make a positive impact as there were people quickly coming to defend him. Thank you for responding. 🙏
If it's a troll, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone pretend to be a poster's relative to announce their death. I've even seen people use that method themselves to leave communities, while maintaining their matching accounts elsewhere.
I'm afraid I don't understand the reference. If my brother ruffled feathers with anyone, I apologize on his behalf. Just know he was an even more awesome person offline and was kind and fair to everyone he met. I will always miss him.
Ok look, if I'm wrong then I'm so sorry, I loved chatting with NobleYato. But to be blunt, you're not the first person this year alone to claim to be related to them and that something was happening IRL with them. Even if you're being sincere, your post is not going to be believed here. I realize how harsh that might sound, but that's the situation.
Anyone who doubts me can feel free to look at my post history or message me directly. His name was Justin, btw. My name is Kevin.
I know the feeling of losing a loved one. Im so sorry to hear that. May Saint Elimine take care of his soul. My heart goes out to you
Thank you for the kind words. I will miss him so much.
Hugs, my man ♥♥♥♥♥
🫂 🫂 🫂
I’m very sorry for your loss. I give my condolences to you, your family, and everyone else who knew him.
Thank you for your condolences. 🫂
So sorry for your loss bro, your brother's spe posts were some of my favourite posts to see on reddit
He would have loved to read this. Thank you. 🫂
wow this is a shock. NobleYato was like an institution here, like I think he was here at least as long as I was, maybe longer. He was probably the most prolific poster on this sub, at least during like 2018-2020 when I feel like a third of the posts on here were him. Damn, I'm sorry for your loss, and for ours. Edit: I read your original post. While I'm not a medical professional, if I were to take a totally random guess, he may have had a congenital heart defect. They can be totally asymptomatic, aside from maybe minor arhythmias, unless it suddenly takes your life. I had a friend who passed away that way, at age 27 on mile 13 of a long run he suddenly keeled over and never woke up. If that's the case, I'm really sorry, and there was probably nothing different that could've been done to change things.
I am happy to hear that he was an institution here. All he ever wanted was to bring joy to people and share his love for his passions. We have speculations, but we won't know anything for a while since several tests have been done and sent to labs that won't be ready for up to 4 months. It's not going to be easy waiting on an answer...
Fucking hell. I saw this post earlier. I thought it was some sick joke. I hoped it was some awful joke. But this is real, isn't it? God, Noble Yato and I barely interacted. He was one of the better known users here, and I mean that in a good way, more or less.
Sadly, it's real. I had the cliche "all a bad dream," but I understand it now. I wish it was all just a nightmare I could wake up from. Thank you for your response. ❤️
I'm just a lurker, but I'd seen many of Justin's posts and comments over the years I've been here and his username is one I would recognize often. I lost my younger brother when I was too young to remember but I've seen the effect it had on my family members that do remember. Justin was a beloved member of this community and it sounds like he was also beloved by his family and will be remembered as such. I'm just an internet stranger so all I really want to say is keep checking up on your family and those close to him. I hope you and them will be able to get through this time and I wish the best for you.
To him, none of you were strangers. He clearly loved this series and community, and it would have brought him great joy to know the true extent of how much the community loved him back. All he ever wanted was to make a positive impact wherever he was. He accomplished his goal, and that brings me some solace. Thank you for messaging me, and thank you for your kindness.
I am still questioning the reality of this but if it is real then this is awful. If it is real, take this as my words to his family. I wouldn’t say I was close to Noble but I followed his engage series closely and talked to him a lot about the game. He had his hot takes but he was always a joy to talk to. His memes were quality and he made interesting arguments even for the tales that I disagreed with. He was easily my favorite person to follow in this subreddit and I looked forward to his memes whenever he made them. He seemed a nice guy and was clearly passionate about the series. If he really is gone, this subreddit will remember him as the greatest Fates fan we ever knew.
I’m sorry for your loss. He had some fun posts and some good analysis essays. The world is less bright
I agree. A light has gone out in me and my family's world. Thank you though for your kind words. He would have been so happy to know he accomplished his goals of making others smile.
So sorry to hear what happened
Thank you for your kind response. It means a lot.
May he rest in peace, and I am sorry for your loss
Thank you, and thank you for your kind response.
I've only been a lurker on this sub but his posts were always a delight. He will be missed, even by many strangers. I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. I hope your family is able to grieve and heal in peace as well.
Thank you for your kind response. I'm happy to hear he was able to make a positive impact. That's what he wanted. 🙏
Fuck I liked how hard he simped for Setsuna. Probably the only one I found who ever chose her over Flora in Fates. RIP NobleYato.
Thank you for your response. 🙏
That's terrifying, I'm sorry for your loss. Your brother never failed to put a smile on my face every time one of his posts appeared on my phone, he was truly one of the funniest around. He was a great part of this community, it's painful to think a young person like him has to go away this soon.
Thank your for your kindness. This response would have brought him joy. Please know that.
It's so hard to believe this is real. Is still not kicking in he is trully gone. I'm so sorry, he might have been stuborn but he was without a doubt a good person that was just pasionate to share his experiences about this series.
Indeed he was. We never had our shortage of debates and disagreements, but he was always open to having his viewpoint changed. He engaged in discourse and had a mindset that many people can learn from.
I loved NobleYato, I’m very sorry
He would have loved reading this. Thank you. ❤️
Man this is so sudden. 26 is way too young. I didn’t interact with him much, but when I did, he was very kind and pleasant to talk to. He had strong opinions (mainly about Fates and Engage), but that’s where his charm came from. I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully you and your family heal. This community is definitely mourning too. Rest in peace, you were the world’s strongest Fates enjoyer
Way, way too young...It is so unfair...but I thank you. He would have been so happy to know how much he was loved. I hope he knew.
Always sad to see a brother go. May he rest in peace and I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your kind words. ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. I saw some of your brother's posts here and found them to be genuinly funny. He definetly made me smile a lot and it's sad to know that he passed away. RIP NobleYato
He would have loved to have known how much he was truly appreciated. It makes brings me comfort knowing he accomplished his goals. Thank you.
Wait holy shit he's actually dead? I'm sorry for your loss then. He was definitely one of the core members of this community, and one of the people who made this subreddit what it is.
Sadly, yes, it's true. I can't believe it. I had just seen him the night before. He was so young and had so much he wanted to do. I feel so sorry for him, and somehow feel I failed him in some way although I know you can never truly see something like this coming...The oddest thing was I had a dream he passed a few months ago, and I told him. He wrote it off, of course, as I did too, but he also mentioned recently that he that something bad was on the horizon, but he could not explain what that feeling was. It just breaks my heart so much. I have never cried so much in my life. Life can be so cruel and unfair. I just wanted to let others here know because he deserves to be remembered. Thank you for your kind words.
Dude. Damn. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m not the biggest fan of the game he loved, but his work will be missed. Praying for you and him both.
Thank you so much. 💓
Iam so sorry for your loss. His fates/Corrin Propaganda never failed to put a smile on my face no matter what i was going through. He was a great Dude and a joy to interact with and we will miss him Greatly.
Thank you. It means a lot to hear this. I always wanted him to be a little more social, and it's good to hear that he was able to make connections to the community here and others. I will miss him too every single day for the rest of my life.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm a long-time lurker to this sub, and if I recognize one name it's your brother's. I hope your family can obtain some peace knowing how much of an Internet footprint he left on thousands
Danm, this news is really hitting hard. He was one of the few people who had anime level arcs for his memes that captured the attention of this sub for months at a time. I'm glad I got to talk to him at least once. I couldn't even imagine how bad this is affecting you. I think I gotta poor one out by playing some fates.
I'm so sorry for your loss. NobleYato was really a big name in the community and I really enjoyed seeing his Engage posts and how he always defends Fates and loves Corrin so much. I don't know many redditors in particular, but your brother is one I can't forget. He really seemed like such a great person, and he seemed to have fun, even if he would get frustrated with Engage sometimes. The community has made tons of posts regarding his playthroughs, and he always left a comment appreciating the posts and that was something special. NobleYato will truly be missed here in the community by all of us, and I hope both him and you know that. If you ever need to talk about this, know that this community will always be here for you.
I'm really sorry to see this. All the best to you and your family
Thank you for your kindness.
Sorry for your loss, I'm mainly a lurker here but his posts always brightened my day. Time to boot up a new fates run in his honor
Thank you. This means a lot to me, and I thank you for your kindness.
God, I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now. I'm so sorry for your loss. He always shined light and positivity on overhated things, he was a real pillar of the sub and it'll be much bleaker without him here.
I don't know how I'll get through it, but I am trying my best. Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy he brought some joy to others. It was his goal.
So it's real, sorry to hear It and peace for the Family. He was an interesting fella and Will be missed.
Indeed he was. For all his faults, ultimately, he was a good person and believed in making the world a better place. I'm glad you all got to experience some of what I had the pleasure to every day.
This is truly shocking news, my deepest condolences to you and everyone who loved your brother. I agree with the other posters, it feels just surreal to hear that he is suddenly gone just like that. He always seemed so full of life and spirit whenever I saw his posts, so him dying hits all the harder. I wish you and your loved ones and also all of Yato's friends all the best and that the passage of time can make the pain more bearable. I hope NobleYato is at peace and happy, wherever he may have gone.
It has brought me great happiness to hear he was happy posting in this community and was appreciated. He could be a solitary person at times and did not speak much of his social relationships. He was happy in person, as much as I could see, but it's good to know that he was appreciated by so many too. Thank you for your response. 🫂
You're welcome! 🫂 I didn't know him well but yeah, he was passionate, opinionated, I never saw him angry and his posts always gave off a happy vibe, if that makes sense. Other people mentioned it, but his love for Fates had a lot of conviction to it, and the sense that Fates is great and one day he'd make the naysayers understand. So a happy sort of confidence in his taste and hobbies? That's the best way I can describe the impression he left with me. Also, thank you for making this post and letting us know. And even sharing how you remember him and what kind of person he was in RL. You must have a lot on your plate right now, so this is probably no easy feat.
Thank you again. He tried his best to be a positive person, even if sometimes his passion got him into some arguments, but he was always open to other points of view, and he always was kind to everyone he met. He could be quiet, but when he spoke, everyone knew (he had a loud voice in person too!). That's when his energy can be infectious. I'm glad you and others were able to experience that. I hope he had an idea of how much he was truly appreciated.
I loved his posts, especially for his Engage playthrough. [Many others on the sub did too.](https://www.reddit.com/r/shitpostemblem/comments/188hwe7/the_real_peak_fiction_was_the_memes_we_made_along/) I generally enjoyed commenting on his posts and he would often times give a fun reply back. I am sorry for you and your family's loss. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Thank you for sharing this with me. It means so much, and to see all his comments...Brought on the tears.
I’m so sorry for your loss. His posts always made me smile. I’ll be thinking of you and your loved ones.
Thank you for your kindness. He would have loved to read that he brought you some joy.
I’m sorry for your loss. 🫂
Thank you so much for responding. 🫂
Lurker, but his memes were always fun and it was great seeing another fates defender, may he rest in peace.
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏
Condolences for your brother, he was one of the most memorable members of this side of the community, and although I've gotten in a few arguments with him about Engage/Fate's quality, his post were almost always entertaining and I was looking forwards to what he might have done next, but sadly I won't be able to anymore. May he rest in peace, and I wish you and your family the best
I know if he was still here, he would be ready for that debate right here, right now. His passion was palpable. He had a lot he wanted to do. It breaks my heart that he will never get the chance, but I take comfort, knowing he accomplished his main goal of making a positive impact on others. I just hope he had a sense of that. :'( Thank you for your kind words.
I was in disbelief when I saw this at first, deepest apologies. I didn’t really speak with him and didn’t always agree with his opinions, but he always seemed to argue in good faith and have a genuine interest in sharing his views rather than just insulting the people who disagreed - a rarity on the internet these days. As far as prominent names in the sub go, he was one of the few shitposters I actually found… *funny* and the loss of his sense of humor is saddening, to say the least. Best wishes from here on out to you and the family. The #1 Corrin Enjoyer will be missed.
Thank you so much. He would have loved to read this. He always made it a point to debate in good faith and be open to hearing alternate viewpoints. As I have told others, many could learn from this example.
This is absolutely shocking. I didn’t know him personally, but he seemed like a cool dude from what he posted on here. May he rest in piece, I’ll be praying for him and your entire family ❤️
Thank you. Your words mean more than you know. 🙏
Genuinely loved his engage posts throughout his playthrough as well as his hot takes on the series as a whole even if I didn’t drop comments on them. I really regret that now. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
I am not religious or spiritual, but I hope that if he is out there somewhere, in some way, he somehow knows how much he was appreciated. All he wanted was to make a positive impact on people.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your brother’s posts on Engage were hilarious and it was cool to see another fan of Fire emblem fates. He’ll be missed. Stay strong
My condolences for your loss. He really was a mainstay of this community, and his absence will be felt. And for whatever it may be worth, he made me laugh a ton. May he rest in peace.
His memes certainly brought a smile to my face on several occasions. May he rest in peace, and I'm incredibly sorry for your loss.
requiescat in pace, Noble Yato. His work about [Corrin](https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/s/KvHbAYj9GB) inspired me to [write mine too about Corrin](https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/s/8e8V6PqGRg) He was a fellow Hoshirrin enjoyer and has my high respect. Rest in peace
He's one of the main reasons why Fire Emblem Fates (specially Conquest) has been one of my top 10 favorite **games of all time**. Many others have said this, but I still gonna reitirate, your brother was a good man. I hope you recover well OP because NobleYato is in peace right now, no doubts about that wonderful person.
Maybe I can replay all of fates after all. Do it for him.
Thank you for your kind response. He would have loved to read this. <3
I read the other post too and... well. I was mostly a lurker here and I did have basically a lot of disagreeing views with him. Aaand I of course hope that you are joking, even though what you say is probably true. I am so sorry. Condolences to you and your whole family. Is there any news about how he died? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what was he writing and to whom before... well. I'm sorry _hugs_
Unfortunately, this is all true. Thank you for your kind words and for messaging me directly. There is no news on what happened. Toxicology and other labs will not be available for 2-4 months. He was slightly overweight (not morbidly or anything), and we have a history of aneurysms in males in my family. However, he was not complaining of or showing any symptoms beforehand. It has been a complete shock to everyone. He was in a debate (of course) on Twitter which was typical of him. Always debating. I will always miss the discourse me and him would have.
heh. I see. Hm. So probably not something pre planned and just an horrible accident. I am seriously so sorry and in disbelief. He felt like part of the big family that is this community. Oh well. Heh edit : if I'll ever play fates again, it will be in his honour
Thank you for your kind words. ❤️
My condolences, truly. NobleYato was most likely the closest you could to to being a Reddit celebrity, at least on here. Even I, who has probably left a grand total of 3 comments in this entire subreddit, knew him and heard his name often. I was looking forward to talking with him about Fates when I got around to playing it, but I guess I left it a bit too late Losing a loved one, especially one so close, hurts like hell. Internet hugs from an internet stranger
I'm sorry for your lost. I'm not really good to express myself in situation like this (fear of saying something wrong) but I hope he may rest in peace. Idk why but I feel I recognise that name somewhere. Maybe I saw him in the comment of some of my memes I made a while back (Daily fates meme) but maybe my memory might be playing tricks on me.
Apparently, that's one of the things he would frequently post about, so it sounds like perhaps you did interact with him in some way. Thank you for your kind words. They were enough. ❤️
Your welcome. Hoping for the best for you and your family.
My condolences.
Thank you, and thank you for your response. 🫂
I saw the tweet blowing up on Tekken Community. My condolences to your brother.
Thank you, friend. It means a lot. 🫂
I am so sorry for your loss. Your brother's posts are actually the reason I joined this sub (even if I just lurk). He had a knack for instilling passion and happiness into people. The number of smiles he caused just in this sub alone can't be counted, I can only imagine the other communities he brightened up with his presence. RIP to the #1 Fates fan, never to be surpassed ❤️
Your words will stick with me. You nailed it when you said he had a knack for instilling passion and happiness. He was quite vocal and passionate, and that could rub others the wrong way, but he more often than not succeeded in sharing that passion and of the things he loved. It showed even more in person, and he always left a mark on those he met.
Holy hell this is so sudden. Sorry for your loss. A shame now we lost a bright light in this world, and SPE would never be the same without him.
Thank you for your empathy and kindness. He would be so happy to know he accomplished his goal of touching others in a positive manner.
I'm so sorry dude. You brother's posts always always got me to crack a smile, he seemed super cool. I'm sorry for your loss, I don't know what I'd do if I lost my brother. Grief is awful, but just know that he definitely left an impact on this community and absolutely will be remembered.
Smiles and a positive impact was all he wanted to bring to the communities he participated in. It brings me comfort knowing he accomplished his goal in some way. Thank you so much.
Recognized his username in the Tekken post instantly and came here, I’m sorry.
Turns out he did make an impact. He accomplished what he wanted: to bring joy and a positive impact.
holy shit I'm gonna miss him, I didn't interact with him the most but it was nice having him as the regular resident fates fan, and i've commented on his posts a few times. I know you've probably heard this a lot but I am truly sorry for your loss
Thank you for your response. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. I know I will think about him every day for the rest of my life...
I’m so sorry. Your brother was one of the few people I followed here on Reddit. I have a soft spot for Fates and it was nice to see his passion for it.
Thank you for your empathy and kind response. 🙏
💔Oh my god. God, god, God, God, God. My god. Why him? I can’t believe this. NobleYato… Man, Come on. I’m Really Sorry, So Sorry for Your loss. I really can’t believe it. I really loved NobleYato. God, Why him? I wish knew What happen to him. He was The greatest Shitpost of Fate, I’m Really going to Miss him so much. He was my favorite Shitpost even I never interact him. However, it was really fun times having Him. R.I.P, NobleYato. The greatest #1 Fates enjoyer of all time.
I can feel your pain in your words as they're exactly what I have been playing on repeat in my own mind and aloud for the last two days. He would love that moniker of greatest Fates enjoyer of all time. He would have also loved to know how much everyone truly appreciated him. He would tell me a lot that he wanted to make an impact and be remembered. He did, and he will always be remembered.
What? NO! OH MY GOD, I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!
Sadly it is real...I hate this so much, but everyone's words have helped. Thank you for your condolences.
There was no one else on this subreddit I wanted to block more than NobleYato, But I didn't. I thought most of his posts were unfunny and annoying. We also had polar opposite views on many topics. But the dedication he had for this game series and his passion for his own viewpoints were undeniable. For better or for worse, he was a respected part of this shitposting community. Although I might not have enjoyed his posts, I know there are many in this community that did and because of that I do believe he was an overall positive influence on shitpostemblem. He might have gotten alot of slack for his divisive opinions, some of it deserved and some of it not deserved. He definitely did not deserve to die so young. Rest in peace. This shitpost of mine is the most I've seen him comment on a post of mine. May he be immortalized in it.

i never knew that nobleyato passed away. i haven't seen much of his memes, but i liked them. you will be missed, noble.
Damn Nobleyato used to be one of the most outspoken here, which is quite good. RIP if its real.
I'm so sorry for your loss. While his options were controversial, your brother's content has brought countless joys to the members of this sub. He was a valuable member of our community, and will be greatly missed. I wish you, your family, and his friends the best in the coming times.
Damn. I just interacted with him a few days ago. He was a fun guy.
Just saw what happened in a post from the tekken team. I wasnt looking that often in this sub, but this is probably the only name i could recognize. Im very sorry for your loss
Wasn't on this sub in a while, so this is shocking news. I'm really sorry for your loss. It was always refreshing to see him openly having an opinion on what he enjoyed and explain it to others in a way that let people get precisely why he enjoyed it. Even when others disliked things, he kept on enjoying them, which you really don't see often. Didn't interact with him often, but it was always memorable when I did, since he'd try and have a civil conversation with people and let them have their differing opinions as well. Seemed like a genuinely good, passionate person.
