7!!Promised Blood

9[[folder:General]]
10Magical Girls from Futatsugi City, a city whose streets were ruled by vicious gangs of Magical Girls. They were once three separate gangs-- Torayamachi, Ryusagaki and Janomiya-- who were thrown into a bloody gang war once the city's Witches suddenly began leaving for Kamihama. In the aftermath, the various gang leaders realized that the only way for any of them to survive was to band together, and take vengeance on the city who caused them so much suffering.
11----
12* AHeroToHisHometown: To the Magical Girls of Kamihama City, Promised Blood are aggressive and bloodthirsty invaders who kill without mercy and dishonor TheMasquerade by attempting to attack them in the safety of their homes. In Futatsugi City, Promised Blood's formation stopped the city's civil war, saved Futatsugi's Magical Girls from the Witch drought by implementing a system of Grief Seed rationing, instilled a sense of camaraderie between the previously fighting girls, and made a plan to take back Futatsugi's livelihood from Kamihama's evil cult. When the Kamihama Magia Union tries to rescue Ui from Futatsugi in Chapter 3, they find no allies because every Futatsugi Magical Girl is a Promised Blood sympathizer.
13* BigBad: They're currently the primary antagonists of the Arc 2 storyline, with their violent vendetta against the Kamihama Magical Girls putting them at odds with the protagonists and with the other three new factions introduced in the second story arc. [[spoiler:This ends after Chapter 7 when Yuna decides to end her crusade against Kamihama.]]
14* BloodOath: Yuna, Juri and Ao did this at the end of ''Crimson Resolve'' to formally founding [[MeaningfulName Promised Blood]]. They also become SwornBrothers, with the other members referring to them as "sisters" according to the hierarchy.
15* DarkAndTroubledPast:
16** The Blood Tragedy gang war and all the resulting death and destruction is this for the group by default.
17** Ao and Ranka have this as former members of the Monzenbashi gang, a brutal predecessor gang who mistreated its members. Ao was bullied, beaten, and made to dispose of dead bodies, while Ranka, the second in command, was forced to partake in the cruelties by the leader of the gang known only as The Bat of Monzenbashi.
18* DealWithTheDevil: They are willing to make peace with Kyubey, and thus let him roam Futatsugi again and contract innocent girls despite all of their efforts previously to drive him out to prevent this from happening, to get his help in getting revenge on Kamihama and obtain the Automatic Purification System for themselves.
19* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:{{Implied}}.]]
20** [[spoiler:Juri]] thinks because of her HairTriggerTemper and her unchangeable unhealthy ways to cope with it can only cause harm, and [[ItsAWonderfulPlot the world will be happier without her]]. [[spoiler:In Chapter 8, she attempted to [[DrivenToSuicide smash her soul gem]], but Yuna came JustInTime to [[InterruptedSuicide stop her]].]]
21** [[spoiler:Yuna has been thinking to follow her dead friends, especially with Sakuya's death as the last straw, but still keeps on living for the sake of [[BigSisterInstinct her]] [[TeamMom teammates]].]]
22* DueToTheDead: Their nobler side is shown in the respect they give their dead Magical Girls, burying them in the catacombs beneath Futatsugi and making them a sacred area where violence is forbidden. [[spoiler:It's only when Iroha visits them alone and of her own accord to pay her respects that Yuna is able to convince the rest of Promised Blood to accept the truce, and that Iroha can be trusted.]]
23* DysfunctionJunction: The whole lot of them have a lot of baggage that comes either from their wishes or the conflicts in their city, up to and including [[spoiler: multiple members being suicidal.]]
24-->''''Juri''': [[LampshadeHanging Geeze, looks like I ain't the only one with issues around here.]]
25* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not necessarily "evil" though they are the main antagonists of Part 2. Even so, they're outraged when they learn that the Magius wanted to sacrifice regular humans to expand the Doppel barrier, as they believe that Magical Girls shouldn't involve humans in their battles.
26* FourManBand: Each main member is fitted to one of these archetypes:
27** OnlySaneMan: Ao, who regularly mediates between her sister's impulsive behaviors.
28** TheSmartGuy: Yuna, who is also TheLeader.
29** CasanovaWannabe: Juri, although she is more like a BloodKnight and TheBerserker due to her HairTriggerTemper.
30** ButtMonkey: Hikaru, being TheBabyOfTheBunch and a {{downplayed}} example of DumbBlond, making some of her moments being PlayedForLaughs quite often.
31* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Their act of driving out and killing all of the Kyubeys in Futatsugi City was one of the main reasons why a Witch drought even occurred in the first place. Without Kyubey around to create more magical girls, the number of Witches in the city continued to dwindle until the Magius's actions in Arc 1 eventually left them with nothing to hunt Grief Seeds for. Had they not driven Kyubey out in the first place, the bloody gang war born from the Futatsugi magical girls' desperation wouldn't have happened at all, or at the very least, they could've had a better chance of having more Grief Seeds had they not done that.
32* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe6NWJzfgRw "Bulimia"]], which is [[DoItYourselfThemeTune sung by the character's voice actors]].
33* MoralityChain: {{Zigzagged}}. While the members are this to [[AxCrazy Yuna]], they are also the factor that drive her to madness when she started to HearingVoices.
34* PredecessorVillain: The Monzenbashi gang, in particular the Bat of Monzenbashi who led the group, are broken up and gone, the latter being said in past tense, by the events of Crimson Resolve, but the negative influence of this gang hangs over the former members of the Torayamachi, Ryusagaki and Janomiya gangs. Ranka and ''especially'' Ao in particular as former members with Ao's treatment by the former members greatly influencing her behavior in the present.
35* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Janomiya began as a internal schism in the gangs of the younger members. It was most prevalent in Ryusagaki, where more former Monzenbashi members were around, than in Torayamachi, where Yuna's leadership meant they were less eager to attack their older comrades.
36* RevengeBeforeReason: When given the opportunity to cooperate with Kamihama Magia Union into spreading the Doppel barrier around the world, they agree that the plan is sound...but turn them down as Promised Blood just can't forgive the Kamihama Magical Girls for the suffering their group experienced in Futatsugi City due to the witch shortage caused by Magius's actions in arc 1.
37* ShellShockedVeteran: Every single one of them were deeply affected by the Blood Tragedy, and their main motivation for their invasion is revenge against those whom they deem responsible.

41!!Yuna Kureha
42!!!'''Voiced by''': Akiho Suzumoto
43[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/card_10214_c.png]]
44
45A Magical Girl from Futatsugi City, she led the Torayamachi gang before joining forces with Ryusagaki and Janomiya to form Promised Blood as one of its leaders. After accepting her own resentment, she stopped suppressing her bitterness and her emotions became more unstable. However, this is only in regards to her enemies; she is extremely sweet to her friends. She's fond of ice cream to cool her head. While she was once a calm and kindhearted girl, the bloody gang wars within Futatsugi left deep scars upon her psyche, transforming her into an avatar of avenging justice. Now she marches upon Kamihama, seeking retribution for their role in the deaths of so many of her fellow Magical Girls.
46----
47* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Coordination Pack'', she is much nicer, [[WhenSheSmiles smiles much more]], even advise the customers on what items to buy.
48-->'''Yuna''': Welcome. You may view me as an intimidating villain, but won't kill you, at least for today. So just relax, okay? ''*giggle*''
49* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Parodied}} in ''Magia Report''. While Yuna is more or less self-aware of her wrongdoings, her counterpart is a whiny SpoiledBrat who is treated no less than a punching bag. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking At least she doesn't hurt dogs.]]
50* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Shown in Hikaru's Magical Girl Story. She used to be ostracized by other students for being [[{{Ojou}} the mayor's daughter]] but enrolling in a small public school with no reputation, thinking her to be a RichBitch. It eventually gets better after she becomes student council president and makes a lot of school improving reforms.
51* ArchEnemy: Shizuka considers her as one along with Himena thanks to Promised Blood's violent actions against the other Magical Girl factions under her leadership, seeing her as an evil that should be vanquished in her point of view. Yuna, on the other hand, doesn't seem to pay Shizuka much attention even though she occasionally antagonizes her whenever their factions clash, as her hatred is more laser-focused towards the Kamihama Magical Girls, ''especially'' Iroha.
52* AttackReflector: Her redirection magic can be used to turn an opponent’s attack against themself, as she demonstrates in Arc 2 Chapter 5 against Felicia.
53* AwesomeButImpractical:
54** She has incredibly high defense and a barrier when in critical health despite being a GlassCannon, but these abilities are suboptimal in ''Mirrors Ranking'', when high HP stats are needed for higher scores. Not only that, granted effects like Defense Pierce (which negates the high defense buff she has) and status ailments (that take out a chunk of HP) like Poison, Burn or Curse can kill her instantly.
55** Her magia only does damage to one target, and with the attribute-strengthened making the damage being overcapped very easily
56* BatterUp: Her weapon is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D Kanabo]], and it's basically a bat with spikes on it. She even holds it to hit her targets ''with one hand'', implies that she's much stronger than she looks.
57* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Her quest for revenge against the Kamihama Magical Girls and her actions to fulfill it during the 2nd Arc's Main Story has turned her into the very person she once feared of becoming and would outright detest at the start of the ''Crimson Resolve'' event.
58* BenevolentBoss: Very considerate and caring of her comrades, even to a point of requesting they leave her towards the end of the war when things turn against them to spare their lives. There was also less of a Janomiya uprising in her gang because of this. She's also well liked among the student council, even as her absences pile up, for a similar reason plus her work ethic even when she can't make meetings. [[spoiler:Realizing that she led Sakuya to her death and being forced by the Kimochi to attack her own subordinates almost led her to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] if not for Iroha’s intervention.]]
59* BewareTheQuietOnes: She is softspoken, is more than a listener; but the moment she [[RousingSpeech talks]], everyone has to listen.
60* BrokenAce: She has a [[{{Ojou}} wealthy upbringing]], having good grades, being surrounded with [[TrueCompanions friends]], and is good at strategic fighting. But the trauma she suffered in the Blood Tragedy with many deaths of her friends take a huge toll on her mental health.
61* CoolBigSis: Occasionally deviates to TeamMom territory. She is the oldest named member of Promised Blood and is said to be a sweetheart among her friends, to the point of spoiling them. Ao refers to her as her Nee-sama.
62* TheComicallySerious: {{Downplayed}} and {{Justified}}. Yuna isn't a serious person per se, but at times there're certain jokes she doesn't understand, and as she usually keeps a straight face in most situation, making her comes out like this at some point.
63* CurbStompBattle:
64** Brutally delivers one to poor [[spoiler: Felicia]] during Promised Blood's introduction upon their arrival in Kamihama.
65** Amped up on the power of [[spoiler:four Kimochi, she wrecks most of the Kamihama Magia Union and Tokime Clan champions… plus Promised Blood once the Kimochi seize control.]]
66* DespairGambit: [[spoiler:Attempts to drive Iroha into becoming a Witch by claiming to have done the same to Ui.]]
67* DesperationAttack: Whenever she's at critical health, she is given various buffs to [[BalanceBuff balance out]] her GlassCannon status, along with a Barrier to keep her alive longer. Her Spirit Enhancement active even deliberately lowers her health bar to boost the aforementioned buffs.
68* DidntThinkThisThrough: Went to a high school below her level in defiance of her father, whose politicking and jockeying as mayor irritated her to no end. The school she went to was a lot rougher to its students than she was used to.
69* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: She gains these with ExhaustedEyeBags upon her "Awakening" (see HornsOfVillainy); she also loses her BlushSticker.
70* ExhaustedEyebags: She gained these after learning that the Magius was responsible for the terrible situation at Futatsugi. It's implied that the stress and breakdowns she suffered during the ''Crimson Resolve'' event caused them.
71* {{Expy}}: Of Oriko. Both are daughters of politicians, are well-respected third-year seniors at school and start as kind characters but their experiences make them more ruthless in order to get what they believe it's the best for everyone. She also has a codependent relationship with another girl who's fanatically devoted to her (Hikaru for Yuna and Kirika for Oriko). The main difference is that she never fell on hard times financially.
72* FeminineWomenCanCook: Stated that she'd join the cooking club if she weren't a student council member. She also gives notes to Mitama on how to improve her [[CordonBleughChef cooking]] in ''Coordination pack''.
73* GambitRoulette: Openly admits in Arc 2 Chapter 6 that her attack against Felicia the previous chapter was a gamble: [[spoiler:she had noticed that Felicia had the power to erase memories and thus came to the rapid conclusions that Felicia might have wished to erase her own memories, that turning Felicia’s magic against her might destroy the memory block and release these memories, and that whatever she’d wished to erase could be so bad that it might cause discord and chaos among the Kamihama Magia Union and Mikazuki Villa]]. She turned out to be right on all counts: [[spoiler:turning Felicia’s magic against her caused her to remember that she had accidentally killed her parents, which almost caused her to leave the team, which in turn caused Mikazuki Villa to be late for the Union’s next attack on Promised Blood, giving Yuna an opportunity to try and sabotage East-West relations by falsely claiming Iroha was running a UriahGambit]]. Of course, even if these long-term consequences hadn’t played out, turning Felicia’s attack against her still made sense in the combat situation they were in.
74* GlassCannon: Despite having insanely high attack and buffs, she has both low HP and defense. Cue BalanceBuff gives her various buffs for her at critical health.
75* TheGlovesComeOff: For most of their conflict, she and Juri were pretty much evenly matched...and then Yuna becomes engulfed in pure fury at the knowledge of Kamihama's theft of witches. The following fight with Juri makes it clear that the closeness of previous fights, which Yuna still typically won, were her holding back. When she completely stopped holding back, Juri couldn't stop her.
76* GigglingVillain: While not as [[LargeHam hammy]] as [[MadArtist Alina]] or [[MotorMouth talkative]] like [[BewareTheSillyOnes Himena]], her soft-spoken voice does make you shiver at times.
77* HearingVoices: Whether due to trauma or her innate magic, Yuna could hear the voices of her dead comrades. She used to rely on her senpai as the (literal) voice of reason, but as the war raged on more and more of her comrades died. Their agonizing voices eventually drowned out her voice of reason, contributing to Yuna's descent into madness.
78* HideYourLesbians: With Juri Oba. Despite in Chapter 10 [[spoiler: being shown to live together, raise a child together, and later confirmed in their dual unit quotes to share a bed (which is made clear to be something they still frequently do in the present day), they're still never stated outright to be a couple.]]
79* HornsOfVillainy: Upon learning about the Magius, who was responsible for the Witches leaving their town (and thus Futatsugi's civil war), her hatred manifested itself in a single horn sprouting from her head in her Magical Girl form. The same horn was seen on Yuu from the ''Nagisa's Wish'' event, who was a Magical Girl serial killer and organ trafficker.
80* JerkassToOne:
81** To Kamihama Magical Girls, Yuna is intimidating at best and vicious at worst, but to her friends and accquaintances, she is a reliable CoolBigSis. [[spoiler:Even after knowing Urara is a spy for some time, she still welcomes her with open arms.]]
82** Then it's [[{{Inverted}} inverted]] when it comes to her relationship with [[spoiler:Iroha, once they've come to a mutual understanding with one another after Iroha saves her from the Kimochi going berserk in her body. Yuna even mentions that while she still hates Kamihama's Magical Girls, she makes a special exception for Iroha as she's the only Kamihama girl that she wholeheartedly trusts and believes in.]]
83* KickTheDog:
84** [[spoiler:She psychologically tortures Iroha by lying to and telling her that she and the rest of Promised Blood tormented Ui until she turned into a Witch, and then killed her. To twist the knife further than that, she then uses a Grief Seed on herself and pretends that that Grief Seed used to be Ui right in front of Iroha, who very nearly Witches out thanks to it, something Yuna ''fully counted on'' so she could kill Iroha herself afterwards.]]
85** [[spoiler:She destroys Ryou's camera in front of the KMU shortly after Ryou had just been killed and taunts them about it. This earns her a well-deserved slap from Mifuyu in retaliation for the disrespect she showed Ryou.]]
86* ManBitesMan: Among the things that happen after she completely snaps includes nearly biting out Juri's throat before she's restrained by Hikaru.
87* MeaningfulName: The first kanji in her last name (紅) means "crimson", which is a reference to the entire Blood Tragedy, ''Crimson Resolve'' event, and the Blood Oath she formed along with her sisters.
88* MythicalMotifs: {{Oni}}, although there's still a small tiger motif in that she leads ''Tora''yacho, and Oni do wear tiger pelts, because they come from the ox/tiger gate, which also explains their horns. In folklore, the oni weapon is a kanabo and the specific vice that turns humans into an oni is UnstoppableRage. To further drive the point home, she briefly sports an oni mask during her summon animation.
89* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Suffers this after finding [[spoiler:Sakuya died and the Kimochi made her attack her own people]], finally realizing that she's gone too far in her quest for revenge, leading to her calling off the invasion.
90* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The first MagicalGirl designed by Creator/UmeAoki not to have pupils in her eyes.
91* NotSoAboveItAll: Has her moments, particularly she is outright stated to be more eccentric and unmellowed compared to the younger [[OnlySaneMan Ao]]. Her first debut with her teammates in the ''Main Story'' has her [[PreemptiveShutUp shoving a popsicle into Juri's mouth]], no less.
92* {{Ojou}}: A mix of ProperLady and RebelliousPrincess. Though may not look like it, she is the daughter of Futatsugi city's mayor and is well-respected at school, being the StudentCouncilPresident. She also has a BigFancyHouse as well.
93* OlderThanTheyLook: {{Zigzagged}}. Yuna looks younger than she is, but the way she acts is more mature for a high-schooler.
94* OutOfTheInferno: Does this to Juri in their final fight, after making it very clear that she's ''done'' being nice.
95* PainfulTransformation: Her TransformationSequence is very excruciating to look at, featuring blood spurting out of her as a horn grows out of her head, weapons impale her on her back, and she pulls her own weapon out of said back ''slowly''.
96* RedBaron: Known as "The Fang of Torayamachi."
97* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Juri's Red, and the Red to Iroha's Blue.
98* ShadowArchetype: To Yachiyo and Iroha:
99** She is essentially a good look at how Yachiyo would have turned out if she allowed her grief, anger, and self-loathing over Mel and Kanae's fates completely consume her had she not have Iroha by her side to prove to her that their misfortune was never her fault. Even their abilities are opposites of each other: Yachiyo is powered by the ''hope'' of her fallen allies, while Yuna is powered by her people's more negative emotions.
100** Before the Witch drought and the bloody Futatsugi civil war occurred, Yuna started out ''exactly'' like Iroha: pacifistic, idealistic, and somewhat timid. But unlike Iroha, she mostly loses these traits after she goes through severe turmoil during the events of ''Crimson Resolve'' and becomes fully motivated by her rage and hatred towards the Kamihama Magical Girls for their part in the Witch drought that caused the bloody war in the first place. Part of her complicated animosity towards Iroha is rooted in Iroha being a shadow of who Yuna once was as unlike her, despite also going through various tribulations, Iroha never forsook her compassion for everyone even though she could easily have done so after everything the Magius and Promised Blood put her and her friends through.
101* ShockAndAwe: Her attack animations and magia has thunderous lightning effects.
102* SophisticatedAsHell: While not as openly as [[LadySwearsALot Juri]], Yuna still has quite a lot of FloweryInsults up her sleeve. This is shown in ''The Great Banquet'' when she acts as TheGadfly DeadpanSnarker to the Union.
103* SingingVoiceDissonance: In Promised Blood's image song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe6NWJzfgRw "Bulimia"]], any traces of Yuna's hoarse, murmurous tone of voice are gone, leaving behind a soft, high-pitched voice but not annoying at all. [[spoiler:Although if paying attention closely, her lines and voice still shows a bored and almost monotonic tone, implying her stress after the events of ''Crimson Resolve.'']]
104* SleepyDepressive: Actually {{Inverted}}, as the wars back then in Futatsugi usually happened at night, and with the addition of [[HearingVoices the voices of her dead friends repeatedly echoing in her head]], she is afraid to sleep, and hates night time overall.
105* SoftspokenSadist: {{Downplayed}}. While not a sadist, she is soft-spoken and ladylike. It's not a good idea to make her [[OhCrap raise her voice]] however.
106* StudentCouncilPresident: She is one in her school. [[spoiler:It later becomes a ChekhovsGun to explain context of her wish.]]
107* StuckInTheDoorway: PlayedForLaughs and {{Parodied}}. Happened twice in ''Magia Report''. Her horn gets stuck in the subway door all the way when her team go to Kamihama. She even uses her time to mock the Tokime Clan who are currently struggling in the turnstile.
108* SympatheticMagic: Her personal magic allows her to redirect damage taken by an object to a person that she links it with. For example, during the ''Crimson Resolve'' event, she links Juri to a tire and then strikes it, hurting Juri as a result.
109** This is also shown in gameplay. In her Blast attack animation, even though she only hit one enemy, the damage is effected on all three tiles of the column.
110* TearsOfRemorse: Thrice in ''Crimson Resolve''. The first one is [[spoiler: after she witnesses her senpai turns into a Witch]] in the beginning, the second is during [[spoiler: the war with Ryuugasaki when her comrades get killed]], and the other one is in the climax [[spoiler: when she is about to kill Juri but Hikaru calms her down with a CooldownHug.]] She breaks down and [[CryIntoChest cries]].
111** Another one is [[spoiler: after seeing Touka pays no mind to her comrades' deaths, as long as Magical Girls in the future achieve salvation]]. She is on the verge of tears until [[MoralityPet Hikaru]] calms her down by [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead patting her head]].
112* TookALevelInJerkass: She used to be much more [[UsedToBeASweetKid benevolent]], but the Witch drought and the ensuing chaos and unnecessary bloodshed it caused afterwards in Futatsugi City really brought out the worst in her, even to the point of abandoning any lessons she was taught by [[spoiler: her late senpai]].
113* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She really, ''really'' loves [[SweetTooth ice cream]], and is prone to get BrainFreeze a lot because of it. Seeing her exhausted after an intense battle? ''[[ComfortFood Buy her a popsicle.]]'' When she's about to get mad? ''[[HeartbreakAndIceCream Just shove a popsicle into her mouth.]]'' When she is bored and doesn't have anything to do? ''[[RuleOfThree She will nibble on a popsicle anyway.]]''
114** The event ''Please, Yuna san; leave your worries to the Eldest Sister'' even takes this up a notch, with the event AP being ice cream cups.
115* TsurimeEyes: In contrast to [[TaremeEyes Juri]]. However, it's hard to notice since her eyes are [[DrearyHalfLiddedEyes half-closed]] most of the time.
116* UnstoppableRage: Her anger just eventually build up over the course of ''Crimson Resolve'', and she becomes batshit [[AxCrazy crazy]] as the story goes on. Even if there are moments when she seems completely normal, there are still some hints of TranquilFury in them.
117* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:She has disbanded Promised Blood. She's started a career in politics to help ensure that Magical Girls aren't abused.]]
118* WouldHurtAChild: Threatens to kill Nemu and Touka for their role in the Futatsugi Witch drought and threatens to do the same thing to Ui in order to lure her older sister in. It's also likely that she had to kill other younger Magical Girls their age during the ''Crimson Resolve'' event.

122!!Hikaru Kirari
123!!!'''Voiced by:''' Fuuka Izumi
124[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikaru_edited.png]]
125
126A Magical Girl like a servant who belongs to Promised Blood. If it's for the people that she trusts, she can fight regardless of danger and never fails in her day-to-day support. However, when she's alone she has trouble taking care of herself, often neglecting herself and lacking the energy to do anything.
127
128A Magical Girl of Futatsugi, a city in the midst of a bloody turf war between gangs of Magical Girls. Seemingly joining the Janomiya gang of outcasts opposing both of the warring Torayamachi and Ryuusagaki gangs, she is later revealed to be a spy for Torayamachi. She is the most trusted subordinate of Torayamachi's leader, Yuna Kureha, and is known as the "Horse of Torayamachi".
129----
130* CrazyPrepared: PlayedForLaughs. In her costume story, she wears her swimsuit underneath her clothes whenever she and Yuna went to places with water (a river, the sea), waiting for someone to drown and rescue them in order to impress Yuna, [[ClingyJealousGirl all because the latter said that rescue dogs are cute]].
131---> '''Yuna:''' Why are you even competing with dogs...
132* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: She has an incredibly short attention span, making her feeling bored after finding a new hobby after a year at most. As her parents dote on her to learn those skills, she can do [[JackOfAllStats almost anything]], but [[MasterOfNone isn't good at particularly any]]. Because of that, she wishes to be loyal to something, or even ''someone''.
133* TheDragon: She acts as the right hand of Promised Blood's three Sisters, and toward Yuna especially, regardless of what they ask her to do.
134* EveryoneHasStandards: As loyal as she to Yuna about pretty much anything, she did stop her from biting Juri's throat out in their final fight from the sheer extreme of it.
135* ExtremeDoormat: She generally doesn't defy Yuna even when she disagrees with her.
136* TheFarmerAndTheViper: In Chapter 3, Iroha overpowers Hikaru and Hikaru passes out from exhaustion. Iroha takes pity on this young girl, heals her injuries, uses a Grief Seed on her Soul Gem, and never harms her while she's unconscious. Hikaru answers this kindness by leading Yuna to Iroha's hiding place, who then proceeds to psychologically torture Iroha into almost turning Witch. To her credit though, she does feel some guilt over selling Iroha out at least, but her loyalty to Yuna comes first. Notably, when Yuna's above plan was foiled, Hikaru was the one who suggested that they let Iroha's group go for the time being.
137* {{Foil}}: To Minou. Both met someone who valued them and devoted their lives to said savior in gratitude. The difference is that Yuna gradually grew to care about Hikaru, while Isabeau never truly cared about Minou beyond a tool.
138* ForgetsToEat: She devotes herself to people she trusts so much that even forgets to take care of herself. Try to leave her alone for a few days, then she will only eat chips in all meals of the day.
139* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: DoubleSubverted. Although her hair colour is better to be called orange, and she's in a gang who kills Magical Girls [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior and even kills some at the age of 13]], she in facts only follows orders, and is said to be naive and pure in her mundane life.
140* MoralityPet: To Yuna, to some extent.
141* TheMole: She pretended to be part of Ryuugasaki before seemingly defecting to Janomiya and claiming to be their mole in Torayamachi, but the entire time she was gathering information on their plans for Torayamachi's leader, Yuna.
142* MyMasterRightOrWrong: It's made slowly clear that she prefers the kinder, more benevolent Yuna from before the Futatsugi Witch drought, but her fervent loyalty to her prevents Hikaru from even questioning Yuna's increasingly morally dubious actions in Arc 2's Main Story.
143* PunnyName: Her name means "[[MeaningfulName radiant]]" [[note]]キラリと光る, read as '''''Kirari''''' ''to'' '''''Hikaru'''''.[[/note]]
144* RecurringBoss: Her persistence in wanting to take Iroha's [[spoiler: kimochi bracelet]] makes her Iroha's most recurring foe in Arc 2's ongoing storyline. Whenever she appears, expect her to always single out Iroha in a fight during a cutscene before you take her on as a boss in-game.
145* RedBaron: As Yuna's secret agent in ''Crimson Resolve,'' she's known as "The Horse of Torayamachi."
146* TakingTheBullet: She takes an energy blast that Asahi had fired at Yuna during the battle at Moo Moo Farm in Part 2 Chapter 2. She survives but is badly hurt, and this spurs the Promised Blood leaders to get revenge.
147* ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself as "Hikaru".
148* UndyingLoyalty: To Yuna, to the point where she's known as the Horse of Torayamachi. Her wish was to meet someone to who she could devote herself fully to. One gacha line in ''Coordination Pack'' featuring her screaming out Yuna's name.
149--> '''Hikaru''': Yuna-san, Yuna san! YUNA-SAN! YUNA-SAN!!!
150* VerbalTic: Always adds ''"-ssu"'' at the end of her sentences.
151* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:She's currently working hard to help Yuna, but is also determined to not embarrass her by failing to get into a university.]]
152* YoungerThanTheyLook: In contrast to [[OlderThanTheyLook Yuna,]] Hikaru is in fact only 13. Iroha also feels bad for her [[spoiler: after she beats her and Hikaru passes out in the aftermath of their fight, prompting Iroha to provide treatment for her.]]

160
161A Magical Girl who absolutely loves games and arcades, and belongs to Promised Blood. She came to Kamihama to investigate the automatic purification system and the Magical Girls there, but trouble often occurs because she's a sore loser and badmouthed, often causing her to pick fights with others.
162----
163* AbusiveParents: Unused dialogue for Ranka's quotes suggest that her mother was not particularly nice to her, and as a result she used gaming to escape. In turn, when that place of escape, the particular arcade she was attached to in order to get away from her was about close down, it was an immediate wish for her.
164---> '''Ranka unused quote dialogue:'''When I was being crushed under my mom's heel, games gave me a place to belong and the courage to keep going. So it's only natural that I'd wanna protect somewhere that important to me, y'know? I didn't hesitate at all when I became a magical girl.
165* BirdsOfAFeather: To Rena, since they have similar interests and both have hot-tempered personalities that drive people away. This leads to them becoming friends the first time they meet, though they're driven apart by their loyalty to their factions and wind up fighting several times.
166* {{Foil}}: Ao and Ranka are both gamer girl members of Promised Blood who originated in two previous gangs the Monzenbashi and Ryusagaki whose interest in games had some relation to their dynamic with their parents. However while Ranka was the second in command to The Bat and one of Juri's closest gang members, Ao was mistreated by The Bat and one of the regular members of the Ryusagaki. Ranka has always been loyal to Juri while Ao formed the subversive Janomiya gang within Ryusagaki and Torayamachi [[spoiler: and would later defect to the Neo-Magius]]. While Ao's gaming hobby and its interaction with her parents is given some focus as her parents come around to it after seeing Ao with friends during the ''Please, Yuna ~Leave Your Worries to Your Eldest Sister~'' after some hesitations, Ranka's intersection between her parents and her hobby is left to unused quotes that imply Ranka uses it to get ''away'' from her parents. Ranka in turn is more of a fan of public gaming in arcades than Ao, who prefers tabletop gaming and gaming at home.
167* GamerChick: Similar to Ao whom she often games with, but she seems to be really into video games and arcade games in particular, to a point she's dubbed an Arcade Enthusiast by Momoko's team. She even wished for her favorite arcade to be treated like a place of worship so it would remain existing.
168* NoodleIncident: It's not at all elaborated upon, but her wish was apparently needed to save an arcade, and her words made it holy ground (i.e likely treated like how one would treat a church). While the wish's reason is known (the arcade she saved was where Ranka learned to love games but had mostly older machines that weren't as popular), what such a wish did to the arcade is not clarified.
169* PeerPressuredBully: While in the Monzenbashi, mistreating other members was not her idea, but she had no ability to resist being made to participate.
170* SkySurfing: Can ride her weapon like this, using it to ram into opponents as an offensive maneuver in-game.
171* UndyingLoyalty: Extremely loyal to Juri for saving her from the Bat of Monzenbashi's mistreatment and being someone who is both strong and worth being loyal to as a person.
172* ValleyGirl: Speaks like this.
173* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:She becomes a professional gamer and invited Ao onto her team, where she supports Ao's following.]]

181A genius athlete and a Magical Girl who belongs to Promised Blood. Her purpose in life is to run, and her motto is "complete combustion". She has the concentration to work on something until she burns out, but she can't show this when it comes to her studies. She finds herself tormented by the concept of making friends, and purposefully tries to isolate herself from others.
182----
183* AlliterativeName: '''S'''akuy'''a''' '''S'''uzuk'''a'''. This is the same case for her VA, '''M'''ayu '''M'''ineda.
184* BullyMagnet: {{Enforced}} since she [[spoiler:deliberately makes herself this to drive people away from her so that she won't have to make friends again. It served as a coping mechanism after she killed her best friend during the Bloody Tragedy until [[BullyHunter Ryouko]] snapped her out of it.]]
185* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dies at Ryouko's hands in Arc 2 Chapter 7. Given that they were going for a MutualKill, its implied that [[HeroicSacrifice she allowed Ryouko to win]].]]
186* KillTheOnesYouLove: Among the ones she had to kill during the Blood Tragedy was her best friend, who was a member of Juri's gang.
187* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Her death is a large part of what makes Yuna [[HeelRealization realize that]] [[BeingEvilSucks she's gone too far in her]] [[RevengeBeforeReason quest for revenge]], leading to her calling off the invasion.]]
188* RapidFireNo: PlayedForLaughs, usually when she's [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denying]] [[BlatantLies something]].
189* ShellShockedVeteran: She's haunted by the guilt of having killed other Magical Girls to survive, including her best friend.
190* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: She suffers from them in Kamihama, having her shoes stolen and disparaging texts talking about her. [[spoiler: She was the one who set it up, trying to create distance between her and anyone who might end up her enemy in Kamihama to avoid ever having anyone she cares about she might have to kill.]]
191* TokenGoodTeammate: The least vicious of the Promised Blood members seen, and is the one who feels the most guilt with the amount of blood she had to spill to survive in Futatsugi City. Though she was initially apprehensive when she was discovered by the Kamihama Magia Union girls to have infiltrated Iroha's school [[spoiler: following Ui's kidnapping]], she quickly softens up to Iroha and co after the pacifistic Iroha sincerely promises her that she will neither kill nor even harm her despite being their enemy. She was so touched by this that while she doesn't give away [[spoiler: Ui's location]] she promises Iroha that she will not allow Yuna to harm [[spoiler: Ui]] under their custody. She later even [[spoiler: willingly betrays Yuna when she actually threatens to go through with killing the Tamaki sisters.]]
192* TooQualifiedToApply: She becomes depressed during her [=MSS=] because her superhuman abilities as a Magical Girl mean that she can't really go all-out competing with her friends on the track team anymore, and she can't experience the thrill of giving her all. Yuna helps her realize that she enjoys helping others push their limits just as much, and she winds up becoming a coach on her school's track team.

199
200A Magical Girl who is the third Sister of Promised Blood, specializing in mind games. She carefully provokes people with a playful attitude that eats away at them, but internally she analyzes her surroundings with a calm disposition. Because of this, she can be frustrating for her more impulsive Sisters to deal with. She enjoys solo activities, such as playing videogames and reading. She was the leader of the outcast Janomiya gang before joining forces with the Torayamachi and Ryusagaki gangs to form Promised Blood as one of its leaders.
201----
202* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:When she finds Ryou trying to scope out their Kamihama base, she tries to smash her camera but her axe strikes her Soul Gem and kills her. Despite Ryou being her enemy she's still rather distraught about killing her.]]
203* AnimalMotifs: Snakes, although it's very vague and nowhere as abundant as Juri's is. The frills of her top and skirt resemble snake scales, her hair accessory resembles a snake's fin of some breeds, her habit of sticking her tongue out also resembles that of a snake.
204* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ao might be the most laidback leader of Promised Blood. She still disembowels Shizuka in a fight and trash talk her about it. [[spoiler: She's also making plans to betray Yuna and Juri in the future to become the sole leader of Promised Blood.]]
205* CharacterTic: Has a habit of [[SillyMeGesture sticking her tongue out]], resembling her snake motif.
206* DisposingOfABody: Ao was the one to clean up the corpses of her friends after they were tortured to death by Monzenbashi.
207* DissonantSerenity: PlayedForLaughs, when she sees Yuna's horn stuck in the subway door.
208--> '''Yuna''': Could you please pull me out of this...? No, no, no. I'm gonna faint...
209--> '''Ao''': This is funny.
210** Not for humorous purpose anymore, when she [[spoiler: sees Karin summons her Doppel]], she only gives a FlatWhat.
211* CharacterCatchphrase: Also counted as SurvivalMantra in ''Crimson Resolve''.
212---> [[GratuitousEnglish ''Easy mode, easy game...'']]
213* TheDogBitesBack: The entire Janomiya gang are made up of younger Magical Girls who want to take revenge on the other gangs for exploiting them. In particular, Ao wants to take her revenge on Ranka, since she used to bully her back when they were both in the Mozenbashi gang.
214* FriendlessBackground: The reason why she [[IJustWantToHaveFriends made her wish]] in the first place. She always goes out of school to play games as soon as classes end, and nobody shares her hobbies of playing games either.
215* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: The trauma she has from killing Ryou along with the Kimochi's influence, combined with the hatred that she has suffered during ''Crimson Resolve'' leading to her defecting to Neo-Magius.]]
216* {{Foil}}: Ao and Ranka are both gamer girl members of Promised Blood who originated in two previous gangs the Monzenbashi and Ryusagaki whose interest in games had some relation to their dynamic with their parents. However while Ranka was the second in command to The Bat and one of Juri's closest gang members, Ao was mistreated by The Bat and one of the regular members of the Ryusagaki. Ranka has always been loyal to Juri while Ao formed the subversive Janomiya gang within Ryusagaki and Torayamachi [[spoiler: and would later defect to the Neo-Magius]]. While Ao's gaming hobby and its interaction with her parents is given some focus as her parents come around to it after seeing Ao with friends during the ''Please, Yuna ~Leave Your Worries to Your Eldest Sister~'' after some hesitations, Ranka's intersection between her parents and her hobby is left to unused quotes that imply Ranka uses it to get ''away'' from her parents. Ranka in turn is more of a fan of public gaming in arcades than Ao, who prefers tabletop gaming and gaming at home.
217* GamerChick: She enjoys both videogames and board games, and uses gamer lingo in her speech. She and Rinka often pair together over video games.
218* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair like this.
219* NotAMorningPerson: Has trouble waking up in the morning. She admits in her swimsuit quotes that sometimes she plays games all night to try to doze off, but ends up just playing until dawn instead.
220* OnlySaneMan: She's pretty much the only head of Promised Blood who never does overtly violent actions outside battle. She also has the role (along with Yuna) of strategizing the group's deployment outside of AttackAttackAttack that will surely cause major damage to everyone, even themselves. Given she was out for revenge during ''Crimson Resolve'' and [[spoiler: would defect to the Neo Magius]], this role is not fixed to her however.
221* RedBaron: Known as "The Venom of Janomiya."
222* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Despite having a midriff exposing magical girl costume that's not exactly covering, she prefers more covered swimsuits and gets angry in her swimsuit costume quotes if you stare at her stomach.
223* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:She is seriously shaken after killing Ryou, and it continues to haunt her for a long time afterward.]]
224* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:She becomes a famous streamer with a large following and becomes more famous after becoming a professional gamer, but she goes through a scandal after a slip of the tongue.]]
225* YoungerThanTheyLook: She is taller than the other girls in the faction, but she's only 15 at most.

230!!!'''Voiced by''': Kayuki Matsumoto
231[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ooba_juri_04.png]]
232
233One of the Magical Girls of Futatsugi City, she was the ruler of the Ryusagaki gang before joining forces with the Torayamachi and Janomiya gangs to form Promised Blood as one of its leaders. Vicious and hot-tempered, she was once Yuna's subordinate before breaking off to form her own gang, and holds a deep rivalry with her. Despite her rough nature she holds a deep bond with her comrades. Beware, however, as when her temper explodes she shows little regard for human life. She enjoys videogames, but she isn't very good at them.
234----
235* AccidentalMurder: Juri has an unfortunate habit of doing this, especially when she gets angry.
236** During her Magical Girl Story, she accidentally kills a friend of hers who tried to intervene in a spar with Yuna that ultimately led to a renewed split between the Ryusagaki and Torayamachi factions after they'd previously had an (unsteady) co-existence.
237** During the ''Crimson Resolve'' event, when she finds out that a member of her gang had stolen Grief Seeds from their stash, she threatens to slowly burn her to death. She was just trying to scare her, but the poor girl was so terrified that she turned into a Witch.
238** She almost does this to Karin in Part 2 Chapter 2. She had been planning on letting Karin go as she didn't know anything about the Magius and was weak to boot, and had created a wall of fire to scare off Rena and Kaede, but Karin, on the brink of an emotional breakdown, runs into the fire to try and escape and is hurt so badly that she ends up summoning her Doppel and almost dies.
239* AchievementsInIgnorance: Manages to discover a secret game move in ''Please, Yuna ~Leave Your Worries to Your Eldest Sister~'' while distracted, panicking, and resorting to setting her digital enemies on fire, which was not publicly known to be possible at the time she did it.
240* AwesomeButImpractical:
241** Her Connect not only provides guaranteed Burn and Anti-Evade, but also Blast damage up. The problem here is only Blast up, no attack up or anything else. If the recipient doesn't use a Blast disc in that turn, it'll be almost useless.
242** While Flame attribute attack up granted from her Magia is unique, it'll only advantageous if the foe's attribute is Forest. Her Doppel [[BalanceBuff buffs more]] by adding attack up in 5 turns, though.
243* {{Balloonacy}}: Her Doppel has the form of a blimp, lifting Juri up in the air whenever she summons it. However, unlike Tsuruno, it also connected to her arms, making her pose looks like a [[CrucifiedHeroShot cross]].
244* BattleTrophy: Her personal memoria, ''Medals of Respect, Gratitude and Determination'' shows that she keeps the shattered Soul Gems of Magical Girls she's killed in combat as trophies.
245* BeneathTheMask: While she looks like a carefree girl - if not [[HairTriggerTemper a bit aggressive]], she actually [[HiddenHeartOfGold cares a lot about her friends]].
246* TheBerserker: Juri becomes absolutely ballistic in combat. This becomes more and more of a problem as the series progresses..
247* BloodKnight: While she's also out for revenge just like Yuna, she's much less driven by it like the latter is as she's more in it for the fun of getting to fight other Magical Girls in another city.
248* BookDumb:
249** She doesn't do very well at school, though it is shown that she can be redoubtable if putting more effort into studying, such as she was able to pass the entrance exam to a prestigious girls' school, which is said to be not easy to get into
250** In battle, she is also the one to come up with unorthodox yet effective solutions, it can be the case of SmarterThanYouLook, or as the the ''Please, Yuna ~Leave Your Worries to Your Eldest Sister~'' event implies, that she simply isn't good at studying in general in an academic setting
251* BreakingOldTrends: The first 4* unlimited Magical Girl to have the followings in her kit:
252** Three Blast discs facing the same direction (Vertical Blast)
253** Attribute-focused attack up
254** Blast Salutation (gaining MP when using Blast)
255* TheBully: She practically has Shigure and Hagumu wrapped under her fingers and occasionally uses them as a punching bag to de-stress.
256* DaddysGirl: She loves her father and made her wish for his sake to make her issues easier on him. At one point she even put aside everything she's doing just to answer his phone call. She's also willing to mobilize Promised Blood to stand for a raffle sale to get a type of embodied jacket he once owned for herself. One of her memorias featuring her is named [[GratuitousEnglish "The Great Father"]]. Her [[CallingYourAttacks magia name]] is also taken from one of her dad's special moves.
257* DrivenToSuicide: In Chapter 8, [[spoiler:she decides that peace can never exist while [[BloodKnight someone like her]] is around, and so tries to smash her Soul Gem, but Yuna comes JustInTime to [[InterruptedSuicide stop her]].]]
258* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: During her [=MSS=] she mentions that she's had girls confess to her before.
259* FireBreathingWeapon: Her weapon is a flamethrower, which is a reference to a fire-breathing dragon.
260* HairTriggerTemper: She's {{Implied}} to have one even before the series began but truly develops a rather violent one after becoming a magical girl.
261** PlayedForDrama in ''Crimson Resolve'': [[spoiler:She knows that her temper can cause harm, even calls it "an incurable sickness". While blaming others for the war to happen in the first place; deep down she convinces herself that [[ItsAllMyFault everything is her fault]], which leading to her attempting suicide.]]
262* HiddenBuxom: Normally she wears layers upon layers of clothing so her breasts are mostly obscured, but they are noticeably visible when she [[https://images.puella-magi.net/5/56/Card_10245_c.png?20210118161616 transforms]].
263* HiddenDepths:
264** For all her vicious, aggressive behavior, the beginning of the Crimson Resolve event shows her in anguish over a romance novel's {{cliffhanger}}.
265** At home, she is the one who is in charge of household chores. She's also good at [[FeminineWomenCanCook cooking]] herself.
266* HideYourLesbians: With Yuna Kureha. Despite in Chapter 10 [[spoiler: being shown to live together, raise a child together, and later confirmed in their dual unit quotes to share a bed (which is made clear to be something they still frequently do in the present day), they're still never stated outright to be a couple.]]
267* HimeCut: Juri's hair is prominently black in color, she has straight hair with blunt bangs and chin-lengthed sidelocks. Though it's hard to notice as she usually wears her hair in GirlishPigtails, and her personality is a far cry from the attributes related to the trope.
268* LadySwearsALot: She has been told to be careful with her language more than once. She seems to have inherited it from her father whose similarly foul-mouthed.
269* LuminescentBlush: Whenever she's angry or embarrassed. She is prone to blushing very easily.
270* ISurrenderSuckers: Tries to pull this on Momoko by asking for a ceasefire and then attacking her when her guard's down. As shown by the entry under NiceJobFixingItVillain, it backfired.
271* MagicSkirt: While there are many scenes when her pleated skirt flutters (not to mention her Doppel ''literally'' sends her flying), nothing underneath is shown.
272* MissingMom: Juri cooks and cleans for her dad and discusses the idea of her dad remarrying in her character quotes and talk about him bringing a lady home in her Magical Girl Story, though what happened to Juri's mother isn't clear.
273* MythicalMotifs: Western dragons, which makes her an outlier in the traditional eastern motif of her leading the ''Ryuu''gasaki faction ([[TigerVsDragon that fought against Torayamachi]]). Her clothes resemble a UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}, a kind of traditional Chinese clothing while in Chinese culture, there are also many fairytales related with dragons. Even her hairstyle and accesories are also made to resemble dragon horns. (It should be noted that [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Asian dragons are quite different]] [[SadlyMythtaken and don't breathe fire]].
274* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Her forces and Momoko's rescue team were evenly matched at the battle of the Satomi Satellite Array until Juri landed a cheap shot on Momoko after pretending to ask for a ceasefire. Momoko is angry enough that her encouragement magic activates, raising the morale of her team and giving them the edge.
275** Afterward, she causes Karin to summon her Doppel from a combination of her harsh interrogation of her and accidentally burning her with the fire she had created. [=McDougal=] proceeds to lay waste to Promised Blood's forces, forcing them to retreat.
276* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:[[PreludeToSuicide She was surpringly quiet at the beginning of Chapter 8 Arc 2]]; and not even answering multiple messages from Yuna. See DrivenToSuicide.]]
277* OlderThanTheyLook: Being 16, she belongs to the "older generation" of Futatsugi's magical girls.
278* OneeSama: Could be considered to have a variation of this with Yuna Kureha, as Juri calls her "Nee-san" despite not being related. While Yuna, Juri, and Ao all refer to each other as sisters throughout the Main Story due to their formation of Promised Blood involving becoming [[SwornBrothers blood sisters]], Juri specifically had been shown calling her "Nee-san" prior to their [[BloodOath blood oath]], and was shown to specifically refer to her this way in contexts that had some pretty strong [[HomoeroticSubtext implications]] for their relationship. It's also worth noting that Juri was already associated with [[YuriGenre yuri]] tropes prior to this, as despite being from a low-income family, she's shown to go to a [[OneGenderSchool prestigious all-girls school]], where she's been [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer asked out by several girls]]. This is in contrast with Yuna being a very wealthy girl, that would've ended up at a similar school to Juri's, had she not made the conscious choice to go to a school below her station.
279* ParentWithNewParamour: Juri's mother is unseen, with the topic of him seeing someone else raised in both Juri's Magical Girl Story and her quotes implying she's either dead or divorced, with the latter having her mention her thoughts about her dad remarrying . The concept of her dad remarrying is something Juri talks about in said quotes, being torn on the subject.
280* PetTheDog: After [[spoiler: accidentally burning Karin in]] the above incident, she genuinely feels bad for it and even offers [[spoiler: Karin]] a Grief Seed as her way of apologizing.
281* RedBaron: Known as "The Flame of Ryuugasaki."
282* SignatureLaugh: "-Nihi", which is inherited from her father.
283* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her last name is spelled as "Ooba" or "Oba", depending on the translation.
284* TakingYouWithMe: When it becomes clear that she can't do more than stalemate Tsuruno during the Magia Union's invasion of Promised Blood's Kamihama base, Juri tells Yuna to use her magic to bring down the tunnel her and Tsuruno are fighting in to protect their Mirrors portal, killing them both. However, this fails since Felicia takes Yuna's blow instead.
285* TaremeEyes: In contrast to [[TsurimeEyes Yuna]], showing her HiddenHeartOfGold and TomboyWithAGirlyStreak side.
286* ThinkingTic: he occasionally [[ThinkerPose put her hand to her chin, her thumb and index finger forming an L-shape]].
287* TookALevelInKindness: After the events of ''Crimson Resolve'', she becomes more considerate towards her teammates.
288* ThirdPersonPerson: Often refers to herself with "Juri-sama", or "Juri the Great" in the English translation. It's heavily implied that she does this to play up a persona and to try and distance herself from all of the violence that she's had to engage in.
289* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:She becomes a professional boxer after graduation, but because she often broke the rules whenever she got heated, she quickly shifted into becoming a trainer.]]
