Sadistic Thrill-seeker

^{Street Fighter V} 

^{Super Street Fighter IV} 

Let me hear your sweet scream...

Origin: South Korea

Fighting style: Taekwondo
Appears in: SSFIV, SFV (DLC), SF6

Voiced by: ^note Eri Kitamura (Super Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter X Tekken, Project X Zone, Street Fighter V, Street Fighter 6; Japanese), Jessica Straus (Super Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter X Tekken, Street Fighter V, Street Fighter 6; English)

Also known by her codename "Spider"; a Taekwondo prodigy from South Korea whose parents were killed by Shadaloo. Juri is a dangerous, hedonistic sociopath who likes to taunt her opponents and doesn't care about anything but satisfying her dangerous whims. She became an agent of S.I.N and the test subject for one of their most advanced pieces of technology: a cybernetic eye implant known as the Feng Shui Engine. The implant, a smaller version of Seth's Tanden Engine, takes ki energy from the surrounding nature and feeds it to the Engine's user to heighten their abilities and make them more powerful. Juri pledges loyalty to Seth in exchange for the "new toy", then enters the tournament to test her new abilities... and further her own dark agendas.

She returns in V, sporting biker gear, a skin-tight bodysuit, and an eyepatch to cover where her original Feng Shui Engine was ripped out by Bison. Having replaced the Engine with a prototype version discovered in an abandoned S.I.N laboratory, Juri is contacted by Kolin and joins the Illuminati in their plot to destroy Shadaloo and Bison. After assisting in Shadaloo's downfall, in 6, Juri continues to satisfy her own whims in a gloomy fugue.

Juri, being the sadist that she is, has a fighting style built to shut down and frustrate her opponents before going in with powerful and aggressive close-quarter tools. With her "Fuhajin" projectile and "Kasatushi" counter, she can catch her opponent at unpredictable timings and angles. And with Feng Shui Engine active, her offense game drastically improves, allowing her to go for lengthier and riskier combos while active to tear apart her foe.
V gives a significant overhaul to her kit and makes her more of a momentum based-fighter thanks to "Fuharenkyaku", a special move that stores charges for different attacks that she can string together; her projectile is folded into the light version of this attack. Her other tools from IV are all removed or repurposed to build around this system.
6 reworks several elements of her moveset to make her more flexible. The charges she gains from "Fuharenkyaku" can now be shared between all three attacks that utilize its charge, and she can perform a weaker variation of them even if she lacks a charge for them. Her "Shiku-sen" divekick and its follow-up combo from IV returns.

---

• Adaptational Heroism: In the Udon comics, everything evil she does is to get close to Bison in order to avenge her murdered parents, as opposed to pure sadism. She even teams up with C. Viper in order to end him once and for all.
• All Bikers are Hells Angels: She is a motorcyclist who has been a member of at least two criminal organizations: the Shadaloo Intimidation Network in IV and The Illuminati in V.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: If her win quote against Evil Ryu in IV is anything to go by.
  Keep staring at me like that and I might get a little more... frisky. Ha ha ha!
• Ambiguously Bi: She's got some interactions with Cammy and Chun-Li that lean into an S&M vibe; she even claims to have a "schoolgirl crush" on the latter. In addition, her official profile listed "big boobs" under her likes, though Capcom later removed this.
  (Defeating Chun-Li in V): Be a little more obedient. You want me to like you or not?
  (Defeating Cammy in V): I kinda like you. Enough to want to bloody you even more!
• Animal Motifs: Juri's codename is "spider", her fighting style has her weaving energy strings with her legs like a spider weaving a web, her outfit includes a dudou with eight straps that resemble an arachnid's limbs, and she has spiders noted on her list of likes.
• Arachnid Appearance and Attire: The back of her outfit in IV has a spiderweb motif and the front bears a spider insignia (or on the back, in V). In 6, her motorcycle helmet as well as the straps on her outfit also have a spider insignia and her hair horns have been adjusted to more resemble chelicerae (the fangs of a spider), emphasized during her extreme leaning back poses.
• Ax-Crazy: Luxuriating in unabashed sadism, Juri is basically an untamed animal when left to her own devices, and all of her animations reinforce her wild side via some very unhinged facial expressions.
• Badass Biker: V shows she is a skilled biker, often riding one throughout the Cinematic Story Mode. Her reveal in 6 features her AKIRA-sliding her way onto the scene before hopping off to face her opponent.
• Becoming the Mask: She only joined Shadaloo to get close enough to kill Bison, but the growing number of atrocities she commits over the years take her past the point of no return (or at least very close to it), and she becomes a sadistic, twisted killer — just like him.
• Big "NO!": In her Game Over animation she covers her eye in a Skyward Scream of agony.
• Blood Knight: Derives an almost erotic pleasure from fighting and killing.
• Boobs-and-Butt Pose: Her pose in V's Versus Character Splash has her bending her spine in a way that shows her breasts as well as her rear in one shot — helped by the fact that Juri is a Contortionist.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: One of Juri's round win animations in 6 has her mockingly imitate Chun-Li's classic "Yatta!", complete with jumping for joy, wiggling her hips, and throwing out a V-Sign — only she starts to break down laughing at the end.
• Bowdlerise: Juri makes an Early-Bird Cameo in Cammy's Character Story in V, which shows that her biker outfit was originally meant to have a Navel-Deep Neckline, but when she became playable, her bare chest was covered by skin-tight black rubber. 6 undoes this, with her V outfit appearing uncensored as her first alternate costume.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Her Game Over animation in 6's arcade mode includes her angrily pointing at the camera and saying "What are you looking at?"
• Breakout Villain: Juri is by far the most popular new fighter introduced in the IV-era. In an official popularity poll held by Capcom, Juri placed 3rd for the most popular character in the series behind Sakura and Makoto. She is one of only two characters, the other being Seth, that return as playable in the sequel. This is especially noteworthy since Juri wasn't even introduced until the first Updated Re-release. She was also the fifth veteran (and the first character from IV) confirmed to return in 6, ahead of other fan-favorite and iconic characters from the franchise.
• Broken Bird: Despite her gleefully sadistic persona, many characters take notice of her inner sadness. 6 explores this in more depth, showing that Juri still hasn't moved on even though Bison is finally dead.
  Menat: So, don't take this the wrong way, okay? But it seems to me that you're actually very lonely.
  Zeku: Suffering is pain. In pain, you will not find joy. Your sadness, profound.
  Blanka: You're like an injured animal. I feel bad for you.
  Falke: So you too fell prey to that madman's lust for power... I feel your pain.
  G: O, citizen of Earth, even when sorrow and pity till our hearts—no, precisely in such times, we are one!
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: In 6's World Tour mode, when the Avatar meets with her again in Nayshall and (apparently) calls her out for kidnapping Bosch, she tells them she takes jobs like that all the time and she hardly remembers every one. Ironic, given her grudge against the Trope Namer.
• Card-Carrying Villain: She knows she's evil and relishes every second of it. In fact, she'll tell you herself how much she loves killing people.
• Casting a Shadow: Her ki is a dark purple, and from V on, a smoky grey.
• Character Tics: Her tendency to lick her lips and her weird and unsettling facial expressions.
• Charged Attack: In IV she can store Fuhajin to keep her opponent guessing when they'll be zoned out.
• Child Prodigy: The comics present her mother as a stern martial arts Education Mama, and a conversation with Juri in 6 has her open up about her childhood, where she reveals that she was a talented Taekwondo practitioner even at a young age, earning her the title "The Beautiful Genius".
• Close-Range Combatant: Her forte is getting up close and frustrating the opponent with her quick attacks and veritable mix-ups. She has many traits that bolster her mobility such as a speedy dash, various dash attacks, and moves that shift her aerial momentum.
• Code Name: "Spider", a theme boldly presented in her outfits.
• Combat Sadomasochist: With a greater emphasis on the sadism, as Juri primarily derives pleasure from beating opponents in combat, but she also prefers that they put up a fight and return the favor to a degree. Her attitude tends to immediately sour if they actually gain the upper hand against her though.
• Combat Stilettos: In her second and third alternate costume from IV, the latter of which is listed as her vacation wear.
• Continuity Nod: Her Shikusen special can be linked for 3 hits; the second hit is called "Second Impact" and the third is "Third Strike".
• Contortionist: She's so flexible that she can pull off a scorpion pose with ease. There's also her Kaisen Dankiraku where she catches and hoists the opponent over her head with a back kick, before leaning in to caress them and then finish them off.
• Costume Evolution: Her outfit in 6 harkens back to her debut look in SSFIV, but with additional components like a white top over her spider bra, asymmetrical bangs, the colors of her pants inverted along with the cutouts having zippers rather than just being split open, and a much more angular hairdo that looks like devil horns.
• Counter-Attack: "Kasatushi" from IV will teleport Juri on hit to a different location depending on the strength of the button, letting her retaliate with cross-ups.

• Cyborg: Thanks to the bionic eye fueling her with dark energy.
• Dark Action Girl: The series' premier example; a dark, sensuous, and unhinged villainess who loves toying with her opponents.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Juri's father was a fearsome prosecutor who relentlessly pursued those connected to Shadaloo, bringing them to justice. He became Shadaloo's target and one day Juri's family car was attacked. Her mother died, Juri was severely injured and lost her left eye, and her father was abducted and later publicly executed by Shadaloo.
• Dark Is Evil: He villainous nature is emphasized by the dark attire she wears, including lots of black and purple. Her attack effects also rely on dark colors, ranging from a deep purple to a smokey gray.
• Dash Attack: She has quite a few:
  • Senpusha and Tensenrin (light version only) propel her forward with a multi-hitting attack.
  • "Go Ohsatsu"^note The heavy version of "Fuharenkyaku" in V is a two-parter roundhouse that lunges Juri forward, mostly intended to extend or finish combos.
  • "Ryodansatsu" from V is an overhead somersault kick, resembling Chun-Li's Hazanshu.

• Deconstructed Character Archetype: 6 takes apart Juri's Blood Knight tendencies. With Bison dead and gone, she throws herself into the only thing she knows how to do — fighting — though it’s implied that this is largely an unhealthy coping mechanism to distract from her deep emotional scars.
• Depraved Bisexual: Her opponent's gender makes no difference to her as long as she gets to torture them.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life:
  • In the UDON comics, Juri relays to Seth that her entire purpose in life was to avenge her parents' murder at Bison's hands, and with Bison (seemingly) dead, that purpose has been stolen from her. When Bison is revealed to be alive and in the service of the Illuminati, she turns on Seth and sides with Bison, biding her time and waiting for the perfect opportunity to take her revenge, only to find out that Twelve had been impersonating Bison all along. With her reason for living gone once more, Juri turns to underground fight clubs to sate her bloodlust until she's confronted by Crimson Viper, who tells her Bison isn't dead and she can still take her revenge.
  • In her arcade mode in 6, Juri notes that she dedicated her life to taking revenge on Bison, but now that he's dead, she now has nothing to live for and it irritates her.
• Devilish Hair Horns: She sports hair-horns, inspired by Jolyne Kujo of JoJo fame. She is also very evil.
• Disability Superpower: Her powers come from the Feng Shui Engine acting as an artificial eye after she lost her original one.
• Diving Kick: While airborne, "Shikusen" sends Juri flying down at an angle, striking her opponent with a barrage of kicks. The move was removed from her kit in V before coming back in 6.
• Double Entendre: Quite a few of her win quotes are a bit...questionable.
  (Vs. Hugo) Finished already? Looks like size isn't the only thing that matters.
  (Vs. Birdie) I know better ways to use a chain. Want me to show you?
• Dragon Lady: A Korean villainess with culturally-thematic attire.
• Dragon with an Agenda:
  • She doesn't serve Seth out of loyalty, only for the chance to kill Bison herself. She pits Seth and Bison against each other for this reason.
  • In the UDON comics, when Bison is revealed to be alive and in the service of the Illuminati, Juri turns on Seth and sides with Bison, biding her time and waiting for the perfect moment to kill him. When she finally does, it turns out to be Twelve masquerading as Bison. She's not too thrilled to find out.
• Electronic Eye: Her left eye was replaced by an artificial ki-manipulator known as the Feng Shui Engine which, on top of augmenting her already formidable martial arts skills, 6's World Tour interactions reveals also has other functions such as acting as a Spy Cam, as well as possessing advanced electronic intrusion and hacking abilities. Though Juri doesn't make use of those extra features very often as she finds it makes things too easy.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Her powers come from the Feng Shui Engine in her eye, but even without it, her Taekwondo skills make her a deadly force to be reckoned with.
• Enemy Mine: Kolin is able to earn her cooperation with the promise of taking down Bison for good.
• Establishing Character Moment: After receiving the Feng Shui Engine in her OVA, the first words she says fully reveal her character.
  So... let's go kill something.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • In her OVA, Juri seems to hesitate when her only remaining possible victim is a young boy crying over his dead mother whose death was an unintended outcome of Juri's Feng Shui Engine test run. This likely stems back to Juri's own tragic backstory, and is further shown in her win quotes against Ibuki and Sakura.
    Whipping schoolgirls isn't my idea of fun, sister.
  • If her win quote against Blanka in V is to be believed, she's normally against cruelty to animals, but is willing to make an exception with him.
  • While she isn't particularly bothered if they get caught in the crossfire as collateral damage Juri doesn't actively target civilians, if only because they don't provide any challenge.
• Evil Counterpart: To Chun-Li. As children, their fathers were murdered for actively trying to take down Shadaloo, and both girls subsequently swore revenge on M. Bison. While Chun-Li was able to move past her hatred and turn herself into a force of good, defending the weak, Juri succumbed to her hatred, despises heroes, and became an instrument of death to the point that the fun of wanton destruction is all she has going for her. 6 further explores the parallels between the pair in the wake of Bison's demise. While Chun-Li was able to find peace and move on from Bison's death, Juri is still stewing in bitterness and misery (partly because she wasn't the one to kill Bison) and clearly resents Chun-Li for finding the peace she so desperately craves.
  Chun-Li: If we've both lost the same thing, then why are we so different?
• Evil Feels Good: From her deranged delight in harming others to engaging in wanton destruction purely for the fun of it, almost always with a Slasher Smile on her face, it's clear that being a cruel, outright vile Jerkass is something Juri takes active pleasure in.
• Evil Laugh: She loves to giggle and cackle, especially during EX moves and supers.
• Evil Tastes Good: Licking her lips is practically her Catchphrase. It's also the sign she's going to beat you within an inch of your life.
• Evil Versus Evil: She's firmly against M. Bison and Shadaloo. That does not mean she's a good person.
• Extremity Extremist: Downplayed. Despite being a Taekwondo practitioner, she does use punches, though she's still a Kick Chick more or less. While she has medium and light punches, her hard "punches" are instead kick attacks.
• Eyepatch of Power: Wears one temporarily in the SSFIV OVA, after her left eye malfunctions. She also wears one in the UDON comics, and as part of her default outfit in V, though she takes it off after activating her V-Trigger or Critical Art, putting it back on the next round.
• Eye Scream:
  • The UDON comics reveal she was shot in the left eye during Shadaloo's assassination attempt on her father.
  • In her story mode in V, a fight with Bison results in him ripping the Feng-Shui Engine out of her eye, forcing her to infiltrate an abandoned S.I.N lab to find a new one, resulting in her wearing an eyepatch.
• Fan Disservice: Mostly an In-Universe example, as Poison is turned off due to Juri's Ax-Crazy attitude. In V's story mode, during her introduction scene, Rashid and Azam are intrigued by her, but a moment later she pulls a Nightmare Face while gunning for a fight, and Rashid switches to terrified and repulsed.
• Final Boss: To Chun Li in 6.
• Flash Step:
  • In IV, she has her "Kasatushi". Juri makes a teasing gesture and if her opponent hits her, she dashes to a different location depending on which punch button is pressed. However, this will not work with throws or attacks that break armor.
  • V adds "Kasatsushu"; Juri can dash right behind her foe and strike them with a kick, and even charge it up first for extra damage.
• For the Evulz: She joined S.I.N. for the fun of killing, and it's pretty much her raison d'etre for everything she does.
• Fragile Speedster: She has a lot of ways to close the gap with her opponent like her super quick dash, several flying kick attacks, a counter/teleport, and a Diving Kick. If she's hit first though, there's not much she can use to ward the opponent off.
• Freudian Excuse: Her parents were killed by Shadaloo and it's a driving force behind her motivations. In the UDON comics, she finally runs into Bison and has him at his most vulnerable. She proceeds to savagely beat him all while delivering a "remember my face" speech, even throwing Bison's iconic Catchphrase right in his face…
  I've bided my time working for S.I.N. and Shadaloo for an eternity, waiting and dreaming of the pain I'd inflict upon you the instant you showed a moment of weakness. You still don't even know who I am, do you? Do you even remember killing my parents and leaving their disfigured daughter for dead? Of course not. It was such a trivial matter for you. It was like stepping on a bug while taking a stroll, wasn't it? Just another ordinary Tuesday. Look at me now, Bison, and let this little spider be the last thing you ever remember.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: In 6, while Chun-Li sympathizes with her as another of M. Bison’s victims and says it isn’t too late for her to start over, she still tells Juri that she must atone for the crimes she committed. Juri rebukes her and say she isn’t atoning for squat.
• The Gadfly: She makes a habit out of trying to provoke all kinds of emotional responses from her opponents in order to get under their skin and when mentoring the Avatar about fighting she even endorses this as an effective tactic.
  Lemme teach you how to REALLY win fights. Do all the crap your opponent hates. ALL of it. Repeatedly. Get it? Got it? Good. Make'em miserable. No excuses.
• Gathering Steam: All of Juri's movesets throughout the series have contained some element of momentum-gaining to bolster her pressure. It's downplayed in IV where all she can do is store her projectile, but V and 6 require her to build stocks of Fuhajin in order to use or improve certain attacks, allowing her to extend combos and block pressure.
• Glass Cannon: She's a fast character who can shred life bars with her series of evasive and chainable attacks. But like most female characters, her health is below average.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: When her left eye's glowing, that's a dangerous sign.
• Green-Eyed Monster: In her arcade mode in 6, she picks a fight with Chun-Li out of resentment and jealousy over her being able to find peace after Bison's death, while she remains mired in bitterness.
• Ground Wave: Juri's projectile, the "Fuhajin", is fired as a wave, as opposed to a fireball. The grounded version is the light variant while the stronger two fire at higher angles. Unlike any other fighter, she throws them with her feet. From V onward, the ground wave becomes the only version of the move.
• Hannibal Lecture: Delivers one to Cammy in their Rival Battle in IV, involving a "Not So Different" Remark and calling her out for thinking that her brainwashing will allow her to avoid responsibilities for her actions as an agent of Shadaloo, to which Cammy responds with a fierce Death Glare.
• The Hedonist: She outright says that as long as she's having fun, she's happy. Too bad her idea of "fun" involves people getting hurt. 6 deconstructs this as it's made clear that her hedonistic lifestyle is more of a coping mechanism to distract herself from the fact that she now has no purpose in the wake of Bison's demise.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Through her interactions with the player in World Tour, in which she schools them on their occasional naivety, we get to see hints of a caring side to Juri that she wouldn't otherwise express to anyone, which of course is all still expressed through her usual belligerence.
• High Collar of Doom: V has one tailored into her biker suit.
• Hime Cut: Has one as part of her alternative outfits. Though she is definitely not a proper lady by any means.
• Humans Are Bastards: Believes this, as a world-weary sadist.
  Chun-Li: All the innocent lives you destroyed!
  Juri: Give me a break, sweetie. There's no such thing as innocent. It must suck to be so stupid.
• Hypocrite: She has a habit of calling people out on things she's arguably far more guilty of.
  • In IV, she calls Cammy out for the "sins" she committed while brainwashed, conveniently ignoring the fact that Cammy's been fighting Shadaloo to make up for her past, while she does and serves evil because it's her idea of a good time.
  • In V, she calls Vega a pervert for attacking the Dolls to sate his obsession with beauty, when she treats pretty much all of her fights like a BDSM session.
  • When she wins a round in 6 with high health remaining, she'll mock her opponent, goading them into giving her more of a fight, but when the opponent does give her more and Juri wins the round at low health, she'll angrily dismiss them as boring.
    (Winning at high HP) C'mon, now! Give me a little bit more!
    (Winning at low HP) Tch! BORING!
• Ignored Epiphany: In 6, Chun-Li tries to convince Juri that she should atone for her past and follow a better path, since the target of her revenge is dead and gone, and she too was a victim of Bison's crimes. While it initially seems like Chun-Li's words might have affected her, Juri refuses to become a "goody-two-shoes" and continues her life of crime.
  Jeez, I forgot how good you were at putting me to sleep. I ain't atoning for squat.
• Interplay of Sex and Violence: For Juri, Sex Is Violence and almost all her dialogue sounds like moaning in pleasure as she kicks her opponent into the dirt.
• I Shall Taunt You: She loves to Trash Talk every character she goes up against, and thoroughly enjoys herself in the process.
• It's All About Me: Juri cares about two things and two things only: her Revenge against M. Bison, and the fun she has along the way. Her win quote against Elena in IV has her say outright that she's after "playthings" rather than friends. Even when she does help others, such as Cammy and Decapre in V or the Player Character in 6, her reason for doing so is largely out of amusement.
• It Amused Me: Her reasons for doing anything, whether good or bad. Juri does what she wants and seems like the most "fun" (aka, leads to violence or at least mischief). For example, she decides to help Cammy and Decapre escape from the law in Brazil because the idea that the straight-laced Cammy would go on the lam for her brainwashed "sister", whom she would still probably have to kill anyway, was just too good an opportunity to pass up.
• Japanese Delinquents:
  • Her schoolgirl costume in V is straight out of a bully drama; she wears a school uniform that's heavily modified with punk aesthetics like spikes and torn leggings. Her makeup and hair are also mutli-colored.
  • Her "Spider" costume in V evokes the look of a Japanese biker, including a long coat with text embroidered on the back and all kinds of punk accessories made of chains and leather.
• Jerkass: Easily one of the most violent, sadistic, and flat-out unpleasant characters in the series next to Bison and Vega. She only seems to show begrudging respect to those who can put up a good fight, but even then that offers no protection from her sadism. Her dislike of hurting children and her hatred of Shadaloo are the only real redeemable traits she has.
• Kick Chick: As a Taekwondo fighter, emphasis is placed on kicking attacks, to the point that her "heavy punch" is a kick.
• Lack of Empathy: Juri cares only for herself. Everything else is either a toy or an insect as far as she's concerned. Best exemplified by this exchange between her and one of the scientists she's sent to kill in her OVA.
  S.I.N scientist: You're crazy! Get any closer, and I'll start taking out hostages! (Fearfully points his gun at a mother and her child)
  Juri: Go ahead, what do I care? These people are worthless. And you, you're worth even less..
• Lag Cancel:
  • Her Feng Shui Engine performs this mechanic in IV, allowing her to cancel normal attacks into other normal attacks.
  • Her "storage"-based moveset in V revolves around it, with one stored moveable to cancel into another; typically, the fireball is cancelled into last because the other two are unsafe. The Feng Shui Engine (her V-Trigger I) performs the same job it did in IV, with the added benefit of requiring no storage for any move.
• Laughing Mad: She laughs like a hyena whenever she's beating the stuffing out of someone.
• Leitmotif: Her theme in 6 is called "ÅrachniD**", a slow yet frantic pop beat that emphasizes her erratic and sadistic nature.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: Compared to M. Bison—who is directly responsible for the person she is in the present—in her conflict with him. As abhorrent a person as Juri has become, she's still far outstripped by the mad dictator in soullessness and destructive depravity even on her worst day, and her goal of Revenge comes from a place of deep and personal pain, in contrast to Bison's megalomaniacal desire to Take Over the World. While she hates being pitied, she still garners sympathy from even her enemies, most notably Chun-Li.
• Like Parent, Unlike Child: In a tragic turn, the daughter of a renowned prosecutor who brought criminals to justice grew up to be a feared criminal who believes justice to be a joke following her parents' murder.
• Magitek: More like "Kitek", technically; her artificial eye enhances her already powerful abilities by letting her tap into a Super Mode.
• Mana Drain: Her V-Trigger II gives her the ability to drain her opponent's EX gauge simply by standing next to them.
• Might Makes Right: As part of her nihilistic worldview Juri espouses this philosophy by name. As far as Juri is concerned if the innocent can have everything taken away from them by villains without any consequences, something she experienced first hand, then goodness has no intrinsic value and only strength matters.
  Searching for strength are ya? Nothing wrong with that. Might makes right. What's righteousness and faith ever got anybody? A whole lot of not much. Just look at Ken Masters. Playing fair doesn't mean squat to somebody who ignores the rules.
• Ms. Fanservice: One of the best examples in the series, helped by her revealing costumes, suggestive dialogue, and seductive personality.
• Multiple-Choice Past: In 6's World Tour mode, she details her Dark and Troubled Past before claiming she made it up on the spot, though it’s heavily hinted that she was being genuine and putting up a defensive front.
• Navel-Deep Neckline: Her second alternate outfit in IV has a neckline that plunges to her navel.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In the OVA, when Cammy catches up with Juri to rescue the Dolls Juri had captured, Juri proceeds to knock Cammy out of the plane they were on by chucking an unconscious Juni at her. This ironically ends up sparing Juni the fate of the other Dolls and allows her, with Cammy's help, to reintegrate into society.
• Nightmare Face: Grins and grimaces to intimidate or even lure her opponents, with two of the most infamous occurring in Bison's SSFIV ending, and before fighting Rashid during the cinematic story of V.
• No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: While she hates actually losing, Juri craves the stimulation of being challenged as opposed to effortless victories over easy targets.
  (Vs. Sakura) I'm not here to tussle with weak, little schoolgirls. I prefer a challenge.
  (Vs. Dan) Tch. Why do I have to waste my time with weak wimps like you?
• Obviously Evil: At no point could she pass for a good guy with her violent sadism and dark punk outfit.
• Odd Friendship: Interacting with her in the World Tour mode of 6 reveals a few of these.
  • After the fall of S.I.N, she and C. Viper regularly worked together to rip off other organizations and rob them of their money, pretending to work against each other while sharing the same goals. She even expresses actual admiration of C. Viper as an equal, declaring that the two of them are cut from the same cloth.
  • She can develop one with the Player Character, going from a random thug that suddenly shows up to kick the crap out of them and their rival Bosch to a begrudging mentor that gradually opens up to them about her past.
• One-Man Army: In her OVA, a bunch of armed soldiers, Chun-Li, Bison's elite guard (the Dolls), Guile, and Cammy are no match for her.
• Oral Fixation: Her win animation in 6 has her pull out a lollipop while sitting on her opponent's unconscious body.
• Orgasmic Combat: She lets out some pretty erotic moans during combat.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: Juri's whole goal in life is to bring down Bison and Shadaloo for murdering her parents. To that end, Juri always takes particular pleasure in killing anyone connected to either. In 6's World Tour, she recounts how she took special care to eliminate anyone who seemed like a potential war asset to Shadaloo during S.I.N and Shadaloo's civil war before she left, particularly S.I.N.'s researchers who all believed that they would make it out alive no matter who came out on top of the struggle.
• Person of Mass Destruction: In her OVA, she manages to completely destroy an amusement park and kill everyone in there save for one person using the Feng Shui Engine, which was a prototype at the time.
• Pet the Dog:
  • She gains nothing from helping out Cammy and Decapre, yet she helps them out anyway, even defending them from Vega.
  • In her OVA, she spares a young child after killing everyone in an amusement park.
  • Once the Player Character in 6's World Tour mode becomes her student and gradually befriends her, Juri is uncharacteristically open about her past, and treats the player with a sort of belligerent respect. In one notable instance, Juri will send the player an obvious scam text, but should the player actually fall for it Juri immediately drops the act and chews them out for being gullible rather than follow through and take advantage of them. On another she sends a text suddenly asking if the player is willing to do a job for her, but again if they actually accept Juri berates them for their naivety, stating that blindly trusting requests like that from people like her is tantamount taking bullets for random thugs.
• Photographic Memory: Her IV character profile claims that she never forgets any path she takes, a fact that Juri reaffirms in 6's World Tour before recounting her offscreen adventures with Cammy and Decapre from V.
  I never forget a road I drive down. Man, those were some fun times.
• Power High: After gaining Ki-based abilities from the Feng-Shui Engine, she takes in her newfound power in a very suggestive way.
  Mmm... I like it. I can feel waves of ki energy surging through my whole body.
• Professional Killer: She has no issue killing people in her line of work, having taken on assassination jobs after first getting her Feng Shui Engine implanted.
• Psycho for Hire: She provides service as a thug for hire, her latest venture being in World Tour where she thrashes Bosch and the player for a client.
• Psychopathic Womanchild: Juri is markedly immature at the best of times, acting more like a bitchy teen than a Professional Killer. She's moody and irascible, takes a perverted approach to combat, and generally treats her crimes as games of little consequence — which all boils down to her Dark and Troubled Past.
• Psychotic Smirk: Her default expression, always entering battle with an erratic grin.
• Purple Is Powerful: Her eyes, clothing, and special moves are colored purple; and she's an intimidating, sadistic fighter.
• Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter": Often laughs hysterically when beating her opponents up.
• Revenge: In the UDON comics, she wants revenge against Bison and Shadaloo for killing her parents. In the games, it's less clear if this is the case, as her IV ending insinuates that her desire to kill Bison has less to do with avenging her parents and more to do with appeasing her lust for violence and taking over Shadaloo for herself.
• The Rival: To Chun-Li, whom Juri views as a fun distraction. Chun-Li meanwhile holds no personal animosity towards Juri and sees putting her away as just part of her job, even expressing sympathy for Juri, knowing full well what it's like to have one's parents murdered by Shadaloo.
• Sadist: She loves combat and really gets off on hurting others. A lot of her cinematic animations, like her supers, emphasize her love of toying with the opponent and giving false moments of reprieve in-between brutal attacks. In 6, the final hit of her Critical Heart is barely an attack; she just admires her beaten opponent for a second before nonchalantly shoving them away with her foot.
  Well then, where do you want me to break you first?
• Seductive Spider: Spiders are Juri's Animal Motif, and she's a sadistic beauty with plenty of Depraved Bisexual and BDSM overtones.
• Sensual Spandex: Juri's default outfit in V is a skin-tight biker suit, designed to show off her form. It returns as her "classic outfit" in 6, albeit without the undersuit, revealing her generous cleavage.
• Sexy Backless Outfit: The straps of her top in IV look more like a tattoo than clothing material, putting more emphasis on her musculature.
• Shadow Archetype: To Chun-Li; Juri represents what Chun-Li would've been had she let her hatred for Bison and her desire for revenge consume her.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: Almost all of Juri's outfits are deliberately provocative and revealing, which she uses to get a rise out of her opponents in a fight, but she also wears them in completely casual contexts without paying any mind to any observers.
  I wear what I want, and take it off when I want. Who cares what you think?
• Shoryuken: The medium and heavy versions of Tensenrin send Juri upward, functioning as an Anti-Air. It even uses the classic dragon-punch input as well, including a punch button (despite the attack being a kick).
• Slasher Smile: Her Psychotic Smirk upgrades to a full grin when she's feeling particularly sadistic.
• The Sociopath: She displays little empathy or remorse for her actions, manipulates others with ease, has a constant and impulsive need for stimulation, and is prone to violence and sadism. Even when she does occasionally aid the heroes, it's mainly for her own benefit rather than genuine altruism.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Several characters note that underneath Juri's abrasive, sadistic nature, she's truly lonely inside.
• Spikes of Villainy: She sports slim, spiked bracelets to enhance her dangerous image. Her 6 costume also includes a spiked collar and anklets.
• Spin Attack: "Senpusha", and its successor "Tensenrin", have Juri rush forward with a multi-hitting pinwheel of kicks. Tensenrin only functions offensively with the light version; the medium and heavy versions instead are used as Anti-Air attacks.
• Spy Catsuit: Her default outfit in V is a skin-tight bodysuit covering everything but her fingers and toes.
• Start of Darkness: Juri was once a a sweet and innocent little girl who strove to make her strict-but-loving parents proud, then M. Bison murdered her parents and left Juri for dead. The tragedy of losing everything to the dictator, who suffered no consequences for it, caused Juri to internalize the idea that only strength has any intrinsic value, and morals do nothing but make you vulnerable and limit your potential.
• Stepford Smiler: Outwardly, Juri portrays herself as a sadistic, masochistic, thrill-seeking Blood Knight. However, 6 makes it clear that it's partially a mask that hides deep emotional pain.
• Straw Nihilist: As her win quote in Versus Mode shows, Juri feels that life is meaningless and only seems to find any real joy in fighting and killing.
  Learn to fight like me, and you'll realize how boring everything else is.
• Stripperiffic: Almost all of her costumes are titillatingly revealing.
• Super Mode: "Feng Shui Engine" has Juri activate the reactor in her artificial eye to give her a massive boost in power. This includes the ability to string together her normals in a seamless combo, allowing her to relentlessly rush down her opponent.
• Supermodel Strut: Her walk animation is a cocky hand-on-hip strut, illustrating her provocative nature.
• This Cannot Be!:
  • In Japanese, she says "Sonna bakana!" when K.O.'ed. Translated, it'd be along the lines of "I can't believe it!"
  • In English, if you beat her with a light punch, light kick or Focus Attack, she K.O.s in a crumple state saying "I can't believe this..."
• This Is Gonna Suck: Says this word for word in Seth's V Story Mode when she sees how transplanting his mind into a "female body" and calling him a "toy" causes him to reactivate in a rage and come after her.

• Tough Spikes and Studs: Juri is an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight trained in the art of Taekwondo, possessing a cybernetic eye that enhances her abilities and wears spiked bracelets. Her 6 outfit adds a spiked collar and anklets to her attire, and she's as sadistic and powerful as ever.
• Troll: Alongside her more overt love of combat Juri also just enjoys messing with people in various petty ways and watching them squirm for her amusement. In 6 she recounts sneaking a spider into a certain "famous fighter's"^note Heavily implied to be Ryu, who hates spiders sleeping bag in the middle of the night.
• Turned Against Their Masters: She uses Seth's tournament as a distraction while she plots to take over S.I.N., though the reverse happens in Seth's ending, as she decides to follow him because of the fun she's having.
• Unreliable Narrator: Implied in 6's World Tour; in bonding with the Player Character, Juri tells them about many of her past exploits, such as her and C. Viper teaming up take down various organizations for their own financial gain or how she forced Chun-Li into retirement using connections she has at Interpol. Of course, given that she's a malignant Troll who conversely brushes off her Dark and Troubled Past as a lie, much of what Juri says should be cast into doubt.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Juri's backstory shows she was once a kind, innocent, and somewhat reserved girl who wanted to make her strict, but loving parents proud — a far cry from the hedonistic, sociopathic sadist she is today. It took Shadaloo murdering her parents to turn her into what she is.
• Vapor Wear: In her IV and 6 default outfits, she sports only the flimsiest of tops, with no support-wear underneath.
• Vengeance Denied: In her arcade mode in 6, she remarks that even though Bison is dead, she doesn't feel happy about it, as she was denied administering the fatal blow. When fighting Chun-Li, it's clear she harbors deep resentment over her being able to find peace while she's still miserable.
  There's this chump I'd always wanted to kill. And wouldn't you know it, the guy apparently went and kicked the bucket. But lemme tell ya... I don't feel even the slightest bit happy about it. For the longest time, it was all I could think about. To make that a reality, I used every dirty trick in the book and then some. And yet... why am I so freaking pissed off?! I mean, for real! God DAMMIT!
• Villain Respect: In 6, she recounts the events around her saving the Dolls, Cammy, and Decapre, and them arriving back in London, describing a series of crazy encounters evading Shadaloo and the law, culminating in a boat chase in the midst of a storm at sea. Through it all, Juri expresses respect for Cammy's abilities being critical to their escape and disappointment that Decapre was unconscious, as she felt that the three of them would have "had a blast" together. Cammy's sentiments remain unknown, but accompanying images depict the two sharing surprisingly friendly glances and smiles as they're posed back-to-back.
• Villain Takes an Interest: She's initially very dismissive of the player character in World Tour, but she starts to take an interest in them when they manage to make a surprisingly good impression of her fighting style, taking them under her tutelage.
  That meant to be an impression? ...It's pretty good. Haha, fine! You got my attention; try and keep it!
• Villain Team-Up: Teams up with the Illuminati in V to take down Bison.
• Wild Card: In V, she isn't on anyone's "side". She doesn't want Bison to win, but she isn't on friendly terms with the heroes, either. Her assistance only lasts as long as she finds it amusing.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: 6 makes it clear that while Juri is a ruthless, sadistic killer, she's just another of Bison's many victims at the end of the day, with her descent into villainy born from something out of her control. Several characters express pity for her in their winquotes and Chun-Li fully acknowledges her circumstances, offering her a chance to atone for her past sins and start over.
• Worthy Opponent: Has shades of this with various Ansatsuken fighters in IV, as they're the only opponents she doesn't show resounding contempt for.
  (Vs. Ryu) I enjoy taking on fighters like you. You actually put up a fight.
  (Vs. Ken) I didn't think you'd be so tough. I almost had fun there for a while.
  (Vs. Akuma) Ha ha ha! You sure know how to show a girl a good time! That was a blast!
  (Vs. Oni) Hmm, to think there's someone who could push me this far.
• You Killed My Father: She lost her parents to Shadaloo and Bison, and has been trying to kill him ever since.
