Jughead from the Archie franchise, in one of the later comics, is supposed to be asexual, iirc, but in the CW series, not so much.

That's the most asexual way someone could talk about sex lol. It's like it was just any other activity. Like he would just do it cause it's what she wanted and he was fine with it. But there was literally no sexual excitement on his end. You can be asexual and not have a broken dick.

I suppose a bunch of RPGs offer an opportunity to play as an asexual if you choose not to romance anyone.

There's an episode of House that deals with asexuality, but it does it extremely poorly, implying that asexuals are either lying about it or that they have some kind of medical problem that needs to be treated.

He was literally fantasizing about having sex though? And one of the side activities is him jacking it to videos of scantily clad women? Romantically interested in two women in the first two games? Kiryu likes women dude, literally not asexual at all.

I probably don't know every event you're talking about. But to me, again, he always came off like it was any other whacky event. It didn't seem like he was sexually motivated or excited for any of it. Even when he talks to girls at the clubs. Characters like Akiyama had their moments where you could tell they had sexual urges. But I personally never felt that way with Kiryu. He always seemed undistracted by women, unless there was motivation deeper than sex involved. I'm still open to being wrong.

Ah. Ok. Y0 is my blindspot. I only played like 10-15 hours of it. I guess they decided to make the younger version more sexually motivated. I guess, with that. We could just theorize he became more reserved and mature about it as he aged.

He fell in love with the cop lady in Yakuza 2, didnt he?

I don't remember. I played the original US version 10+ years ago. I'm just gonna take the L lol. I guess he just really doesn't lean into it. I'm completely open to that, since that's exactly how I am myself as well. I could come off asexual just cause I'm not motivated by sex most the time. I guess I anti-projected >_>. Is that a thing?

Man you gotta finish Y0, it's such a great game. Kiwami 1 was my first, but I adore 0. Can't really blame Kiryu for getting more reserved as the years go on, can't be easy to have a stable love life when he keeps getting pulled back into Yakuza drama.

Wellllll it's one of those things that is subject to interpretation.

First consider that canonically (which is to say outside of minigames and substories), Kiryu has only pursued two women in his entire life and there was never any implication of sex between them.

As for Yakuza 0, consider that Kiryu is still barely an adult (twenty years old) which may be too early for him to self determine his sexuality. He may be doing these things because he thinks they're things he should do at his age. Going through the motions, as it were.

Honestly, it's like asking if Solid Snake is asexual. We just aren't presented enough material in the canon to make a determination one way or the other.

EDIT: Oh and I see that while I was typing this up, Solid Snake came up anyway.

Yeah. I was gonna say. My perspective was going in that direction. He had such minor happenings, that I subconsciously wrote it off as him exploring himself. But overall he gave off asexual vibes more than anything else. He never gets sexually excited and never gets flustered or changed up anything when around pretty women. Nomatter who you are, we all have our moments where we get those symptoms when around people we're attracted to. Even men and women who can get 95% of what they want easily. There will still he those few that throw them off game. But not playing Y0, I can't really argue against theorizes from it.

Then BoJack Horseman does have what youre looking for. Todd is explicitly asexual, though not aromantic. This leads to Todd hijinks, as all Todd plots inevitably do. It remains a persistent feature of the character from its introduction.
