❝I only have one chance to have my life, and it's right here. It's the only life I have. This is my life. I can't give it to anyone else, It can't be stolen, I can't force it on anyone, or forget it, or make it disappear, or trample on it, or laugh it away, or beautify it. I have no choice but to accept this one cruel, meaningless life! That's why I will fight, and why I will continue fighting.❞


Yuri, in a word, is strong. After seeing her younger siblings get killed right in front of her as a child, she had to become strong for her own sake. But even though she may be strong, she, too, is human, and is more than just a strong girl who's lived out her life regretting the mere fact that she, who wanted to save her younger siblings could only save herself.

Even though she does regret the things that happened in her childhood, she continued to live her life, not caring about other people's opinions, instead, just doing whatever she wants. After all, that's what she does in situations such as this. She does whatever she wants, not looking back, and not caring about anybody else. It may seem selfish of her to prioritize herself over others, but that's just the way she works. In fact, this is proven when she goes off on her own to figure out the workings of the afterlife, and to find out who exactly created that world of the afterlife. But she soon realizes that she can't always do things on her own and that she needs comrades.

Yuri's strength comes from her experiences, both in life and in the afterlife. She doesn't want to lose her memories, ever, or even replace her current life with another. That's why she decided to fight against god, if he even exists. She wanted to give him all the punches that he could handle, angry at him. For bringing him into this world of the 'afterlife', and as well as for everything that she's ever experienced when she was alive.

Being the leader of the Afterlife Battlefront (generally known as the SSS; Shinda Sekai Sensen), she has learned and grown a lot. After all, she was not always confident in her abilities as a leader, though. However, she's regained the emotion of 'love', one emotion that wasn't supposed to exist in the afterlife in the first place by being with her fellow comrades, doing missions with them, having fun with them, and fighting right beside them. Even though she sometimes seems to abuse her comrades ("I put a propulsion engine under your seat just in case you messed up."), but she only does it for kicks. In reality, she would never do anything that would actually kill her comrades, especially not in a life or death situation.

She also shows quite a lot of intelligence, as she manages to create a new program for the Angel Player, which is only in English, a language that Yuri has not mastered, as well as being able to come up with operations, operations names, as well as being able to build guns from the ground up as well as several other things.

Yuri also does not want to become god, even if she could. She knows that kind of power would destroy her as well as well as hurt the friends she's learned to care about. She even realizes in episode twelve that the troubles that were bothering her were slowly going away because of the friends she's made together.

And even though Yuri tends to act like a leader around huge groups of people, when she's around her friends, she actually shows a more girly side to herself: she actually would want to be friends with Angel (Kanade Tachibana), go clothes shopping with her. She is even a little huffy, and is even slightly in denial about the fact that her troubles were going away because she is and was the leader of the SSS.

Backstory:
♢ On Yuri as a character.
♢ On the series in general.

Canon Powers:
Yuri, being already dead, as well as having lived in the afterlife, cannot die again. This means that she has pseudo-immortality, meaning that she can still get injured, feel pain, and almost die, but she’ll still be alive after all that. However, due to the nature of this game, this will not be carried over.
