40 free Future Diary trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Future Diary, known in Japan as Mirai Nikki, drops a shy schoolboy into a survival game where every contestant carries a diary that foretells the future, and where his self-appointed protector, Yuno Gasai, may be the most dangerous player of all. Few anime characters are as instantly recognised as Yuno, and few stories turn as sharply in their final act. This quiz covers the whole of it: Yuki and Yuno, the rival diary holders and what their diaries can do, the alliances and betrayals of the game, and the revelations of the last episodes. It also steps outside the story to the manga's creator and publication, the anime's studio, voice cast and theme songs, and the spin-offs that followed. It is written for anyone who has watched the anime or read the manga, from recent viewers to fans who can name every holder from First to Twelfth. Expect spoilers throughout.
