History Characters / YuGiOhArcVXyzDimension

* BlowYouAway: Ruri's Lyrical Luscinia deck is full of WIND Winged-Beast monsters, similar to Rin's Wind Witch deck being full of WIND Spellcaster monsters. Both decks rely on swarming the field and using effect damage to whittle down the opponent's life points.

* AndIMustScream: Averted. Sora guessed that she was sealed in a card, like everyone else who lost. Yuri later reveals that this isn't the case. Played straight later on when her [[spoiler:subconscious is fighting against her own brainwashed body to stop "it" from hurting her brother in Episode 119.]]

* DamselInDistress: Defeated and spirited away by the Fusion Dimension. Yuri mentions that her personality was comparable to Yuzu's, implying that she also resisted him in her kidnapping. In Episode 75, it is shown that after Yuri was able to corner her, she tried to duel him.

* BadassAdorable: Although she and Allen lose to the Tyler Sisters, she pulled off an excellent move that impressed Gloria. Not to mention she did survive Heartland.

* AndIMustScream: Averted. Sora guessed that she was sealed in a card, like everyone else who lost. Yuri later reveals that this isn't the case.

* BlowYouAway: Rin's Lyrical Luscinia deck is full of WIND monsters, but the wind aspect is covered by Rin's deck.

* ChekhovMIA: Though mentioned often, she doesn't appear on-screen until episode 75, and in a flashback at that. [[spoiler:She appears for real in episode 116.]]

* DamselInDistress: Defeated and spirited away by the Fusion Dimension. Yuri mentions that her personality was comparable to Yuzu's, implying that she also resisted him in her kidnapping. In Episode 75, it is shown that after Yuri was able to corner her, she tried to duel him. [[spoiler:However, we later learn from Kurosaki that Ruri is not a good duelist, which makes her not as badass as the other three girls.]]
%%* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Ruri is smart enough how rotten Academia is and [[SuicideByCop pulls a last minute gambit]] on the Doctor not only to spite him, but to save her brother.]]

* WeakButSkilled: Even more than Kurosaki. Ruri uses weak Level 1 monsters and weak Rank 1 monsters to battle, but she utilizes the number of Over Ray Units she has to fight her opponents.
* ZergRush: Literally her strategy. Ruri summons a lot of monsters that have low ATK, but provide a lot of Xyz Materials for her Xyz Monsters.

A girl that comes from the same place Yuto and her brother Shun Kurosaki comes from: Heartland. Yuto mistakes Yuzu for Ruri when they first met and it implied that they are very close friends given how far Yuto is willing to go to protect Yuzu from danger, on account of how similar the two are. After being spied on by Dennis and having her home dimension be nearly destroyed by Academia, Ruri is then targeted by Yuri in the aftermath of the chaos. Despite fighting bravely, she loses and is captured by the guy, who then gets brought to Academia itself. There, Ruri is successfully infected by the "Doctor".

There, Ruri is successfully corrupted and brainwashed by the Professor and his mysterious ally simply known as the "Doctor".

* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:Even prior to her brainwashing, Ruri was a bit frustrated with her brother and that she was dependent on him, something that the Parasite Fusioner exploits. Her inner consciousness has to fight her dark feelings to overtake her body and save her brother.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Ruri is smart enough how rotten Academia is and [[SuicideByCop pulls a last minute gambit]] on the Doctor not only to spite him, but to save her brother.]]

* NiceGirl: Similar to Yuzu and Rin, she's seen helping people in need. Episode 104 shows she fully believes that dueling should only be used for fun instead of war. [[spoiler:She just smiles kindly when Kaito rescues her, compared to Rin's more tsundereish response to Yugo doing the same...which is then horribly subverted next episode when she pushes Kaito off a cliff.[[note]]At that point, Ruri was already corrupted by the "Doctor".[[/note]] It if wasn't for Shun saving the guy at the last minute, Kaito would've die!]]

* ResistTheBeast: [[spoiler:To save Kurosaki from losing the Duel and being carded.]]

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Not as prominent as Rin, but she gives a small sadistic one after watching Kaito plummet to his doom from a cliff ''she'' pushed him off of.]]
* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler:Ruri manages to hold off the Parasite Fusioner, allowing Kurosaki to beat her and save himself.]]

* DangeroulyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Ruri is smart enough how rotten Academia is and [[SuicideByCop pulls a last minute gambit]] on the Doctor not only to spite him, but to save her brother.]]

* DeliberateInjuryGambit: [[spoiler:Pulls a last minute gambit on the Doctor not only to spite him, but to save her brother.]]

* HeroicResolve: Even when Yuri cornered her, she refused to go down without a fight.

* DecompositeCharacter: Ruri's Lyrical Luscinia deck and Rin's Wind Witch deck are basically Rio's Ice Bird deck divided in two themes. Ruri's deck has the WATER and bird-motif, while Rin has the ice motif.

** With Shizuka being the original younger sister character of an older brother character, Ruri is the fourth expy of her, after Asuka from ''GX'', Luca from ''5D's'', and Rio from ''ZEXAL''. And like the latter, she uses a bird-themed WATER deck focused on Xyz Summoning.

* MakingASplash: Her Lyrical Luscinia monsters are WATER monsters.

* AnimalMotif: Her deck is based on luscinias, a genus of singing birds, completing the Kachou Fuugetsu theme of the Bracelet Girls with her bird-themed deck. The episode where she first duels is also called "The Little Bird Trapped in Darkness", which also has "[[Anime/YuGiOhZexal Kotori]]" ("little bird") in the title.

* AmazonBrigade: Like the other Bracelet Girls, her deck is full of women.

Despite fighting bravely, she loses and is captured by the guy, who then gets brought to Academia itself. There, Ruri is successfully corrupted and brainwashed by the Professor and his mysterious ally simply known as the "Doctor". Similar to Yuto, Ruri has [[OnlySixFaces doppelgangers]] throughout the other dimensions: Rin (Synchro), Serena (Fusion) and Yuzu (Standard).

* ChekhovMIA: Though mentioned often, she doesn't appear on-screen until episode 75, and in a flashback at that.

* FeatherMotif: Ruri wears feather-shaped earrings and a feather-shaped bracelet, which not only gives her a connection to her brother's bird motif, but is also a hint of her deck eventually representing the bird kanji ''chou'' of the Kachou Fuugetsu principle.
* TheGhost: Although she has been mentioned by Yuto and Kurosaki multiple times, she has yet to appear in person. Despite being the first mentioned counterpart of Yuzu, both Serena and Rin (her Fusion and Synchro counterparts respectfully), have appeared on-screen before her. Her appearance is finally revealed in episode 75.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:After falling under the [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Doctor]]'s brainjacking, she's forced to fight her beloved older brother.]]

* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Falls under the [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Doctor]]'s [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainjacking]], then is forced to fight the older brother, who traveled through ''dimensions'' to look for her.]]
