** Satsuki plays the role of [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Schala and Magus]], although she looks like a bit more similiar with the latter. Like Schala, she [[spoiler:secretly opposes the plans of their mother (who wants to use the power of an EldritchAbomination for evil purposes) and secretly act in order to stop her but while Schala wants her mother to have a HeelFaceTurn and to be a good person again, Satsuki wants to revenge the death of her father.]]

*** Like Magus, she initially was the [[BigBad main villian]] who[[spoiler: killed a very important person to main character (considering the fact which Frog is the protagonist during the 600 AD main story) making him pursuing the revenge. While Magus [[KilledOffForReal killed Cyrus for the real]], Satsuki lied to Ryuko (it was Nui who killed her father) for making her stronger. Both join the party sometime after their defeat (you have the option to kill Magus or forgive him) although for different reasons, since Satsuki was planning to fight alongside with Ryuko since the beginning while Magus was more a HeelFaceTurn (although this is debatable since he wants revenge against Lavos). Also, talking about revenge, this is the main reason for their acts.]]

** Of the MagicalGirl type. True to the form, Ryuko goes through a fanservice-laiden sequence as Senktesu takes his combat (and more revealing) form. Once she gets the [[TrickedOutGlove crimson glove]] from Mikisugi, it becomes her transformation gesture as she uses it to draw blood to power Senkestu. All of this is complete with {{Gainaxing}} and some really trippy background.

* FragileSpeedster[=/=]GlassCannon: Her speed and strength are top-notch, but her defenses are quite low, evidenced by the fact that she takes damage from attacks coming from three-star Goku uniforms, which are considerably weaker than a Kamui, and the fact that Junketsu can pierce through Senketsu's defense.

Added DiffLines:

* GlassCannon: In terms of strength Ryuko is one of the most powerful characters in the show. Her biggest problem during her match with Omiko was being able to hit the ball without using so much force as to destroy her racket. Even the [[FiveBadBand Elite Four]] tend to get messed up as soon as she can get a hit in, with her first match against Sanageyama ending as soon as she was able to strike him and defeating Inumuta as quickly as she was able to figure out how to attack him so that he couldn't hide from it. Despite this, her defences are fairly weak, despite being a [[spoiler:Life Fiber being]], as seen when Three-Star Goku uniform users, such as Gamagoori, are able to smack her around despite her Kamui. Also, while [[spoiler:another Life Fiber being, Ragyo]], shows off her regeneration by shrugging off being sliced in half, all it takes is one solid shot to [[spoiler:chop Ryuko in half]].

* ContraltoOfDanger[=/=]GutturalGrowler: Has ContraltoOfDanger: Ryuko is a {{Badass}} who doesn’t seem interested in following gender stereotypes. Accordingly, her voice is very noticeable deep growl and she also serious, which suits her as an ActionGirl who kicks a lot of ass.ass in almost any fight she’s put in.

* ItsPersonal:
** The whole reason she is undertaking her quest. She comes to Honno City with the intent to avenge her recently slain father and immediately questions Satsuki, given her position of power, the moment she gets the chance. When Satsuki does little to ease Ryuko's suspicions, Ryuko decides to outright join the student of Honnoji Academy just to get a crack at information surrounding her father's killer. She aggressively hunts for any opportunity to fight Satsuki and tries to take any advantage she can to get it done, such as exploiting and opportunity in her fight against Nonon Jakuzure to attack Satsuki directly.
** Her mortal enemy instantly becomes [[spoiler:Nui Harime, once she discovers that it was her who was Isshin's assassin. Shortly after meeting Nui, her rage and desire to kill her actually boils to the point that she becomes an abomination, incapable of discerning friend and foe, attacking indiscriminately (until Mako calms her). Meeting Ragyo also drags her into this quest for vengeance, being that she gave the order for Isshin to be killed and Ryuko's hatred of both of them drives the second arc of the series and at one point even leading her to become corrupted.]]

* SuperPowerMeltdown: During her back-to-back fights with the members of the Elite Four, Senketsu begins evolving at a rate which alarms even him and she adapts a brash, overly cocky attitude about her newfound strength and seems to over-exert her, although she chooses to ignore the warnings. This culminates when [[spoiler:Nui Harime appears and reveals herself to be Isshin’s killer, which sets her over the edge and finally causes all the built up power to explode, turning her into a mindless monstrosity, which drains her own blood to function. Her unstable power is so great that it also causes the arena she was fighting in to collapse]].

** Has one with Mako in "A Loser I Can't Hate". Mako has become too attached to the decadent lifestyle that running the Fight Club with Ryuko has brought her and is unwilling to let Ryuko decommission the club even though the luxuries they have gotten are tearing them apart from each other. This disagreement escalates to combat when Satsuki provides Mako with a Two-Star Goku uniform and offers her a Three-Star one in return for defeating Ryuko. As opposed to actually being able to bring herself to attack Mako, Ryuko instead allows Mako to punch her until she calms down, refusing to fight back. This almost comes to tragedy when Mako almost beats Ryuko to death but finds herself unable to land the finishing blow, instead crying and hugging Ryuko, letting her destroy the uniform Satsuki gave her and happily going back to her old life.
