Appearance[]
Yurika has an average build, with fair skin. She has long, platinum colored hair tied into twintails, with a large, messy fringe covering her left eye and curving upwards, and thin bangs on either side of her face. Her eyes are jade green, with a black curve near the top of her iris, thick eyelashes, and gray eyebrows. As a Disciple of Orion, she possesses a Seal of Orion, located on her chest.
Her casual clothing consists of a black jacket with white lines on the shoulders and small, diamond-shaped logos at the end of the sleeves, a white t-shirt, and black sweatpants.
As seen in flashbacks[1], Yurika's appearance as a child is mostly the same as her teenage appearance, with her fringe held back with a hairpin, and pink ovals on her cheeks. Additionally, her casual clothing as a child consists of a white turtleneck sweater, with a yellow neck and a pink dashed line around the collar.
Personality[]
According to Froy[1], she used to be a sweet and kind girl before falling under Irina's control. After Irina twisted her personality, she has an emotionless quality that is demanded of her team, Shadow of Orion. As a result of indoctrination, Yurika believes failing to achieve victory means one's existence is futile and goes through any means in order to ensure victory, as seen when she kicks Asuto.
She is also described by Vladimir[1] as having both "brains and brawn," proceeding to state that "her ability to command and individual technique" are like no other, which is shown on multiple occasions like passing by her opponents at high speeds, jumping to incredible heights by jumping while airborne, and being able to to somersault repeatedly with the ball clinched between her feet.
After realizing the true meaning of soccer[2], however, she seems to have, partially, reverted back to her old self, going so far as to request a rematch from Asuto after their match ended.
Plot[]
Background[]
As a child[1], Yurika is described to have been a kind and ordinary girl by Froy, before being changed into an emotionless soldier indoctrinated with the sole purpose of fighting by Irina. Currently, Yurika is a member of the Shadow of Orion team. She's been trained with all of Orion's skills to become a living weapon, ridding herself of emotions in the process to destroy her enemies.
Inazuma Eleven Orion no Kokuin[]
Yurika is present at the entrance to Volgograd Volga-Don Canal Stadium, observing the conclusion of the match between Inazuma Japan and Guardians of Queen following the latter's forfeit[3]. After Petronio states to Japan that they may be the ones to defeat Orion, Yurika retorts from a distance, stating that their resistance is futile.
Yurika is later seen watching the match between Inazuma Japan and Perfect Spark during the FFI finals[4].
Following Irina's declaration to the world[1], Yurika appears before Inazuma Japan and introduces her team, Shadow of Orion, stating they will make known to them Orion's power. During the first half of the match between her team and Zhao Jinyuns, she traps the ball following Procyon's kick and dribbles up the field with it. Yurika gives the command "Prelude", breaking through Kazemaru and Li's defense with a pass to Betelgeuse, who then passes back to her. She shoots at the goal with Orion Crossviper, breaking through Endou's Diamond Hand to score Shadow of Orion's first goal.
Counteracting Gouenji's Last Resort, Yurika gives the "Concerto" command, causing an air current to launch the shot into the air, with her leaping towards it to intercept with a long pass to Betelgeuse. After receiving the ball again, Yurika charges at the goal at full speed. Asuto and Kazemaru attempt to block her, but she leaps over with a series of mid-air jumps, concluding in a heel kick towards the goal, getting past Endou to score Shadow of Orion's second goal. Following the kick-off, Yurika raises her arm and gives the "Requiem" command, as she charges past Zhao Jinyuns' formation with Rigel and Betelgeuse. Picking up a pass from Betelgeuse, she shoots again with Orion Crossviper, once again breaking through Endou's Diamond Hand to score the third goal, ending the first-half.
Upon the start of the second-half, Yurika receives the ball and charges down the field, whipping up a whirlwind to hinder Asuto's attempt of blocking her. Standing over Asuto as he lays on the floor, Yurika declares that Zhao Jinyuns are at their limit and should give up any unnecessary defiance, blocking Asuto's attempt to stand up by pinning him to the ground under her boot. She states that standing back up is meaningless as their chances of winning are zero, before kicking the ball point-blank into Asuto's chest, sending him rolling across the field as she walks away with the ball. She is stopped by Asuto's words of encouragement to the team, glaring back at him and questioning what he intends to prove.
Working together with Tabit, Meissa, and Saiph[2], they stop Nosaka, Ichihoshi, Haizaki, and Asuto's Last Resort Σ dead in its tracks using a whirlwind generated by their simultaneous axe kick. Yurika catches the ball underfoot, but loses it to Asuto's sliding tackle, though she appeared unimpressed by this. Following her teammate's taunting of Asuto, Yurika swipes the ball away from him, breaking through Haizaki with her dribbling. She attempts to dodge Nosaka with a feint, but Asuto knocks the ball away to Froy with a header, shocking Yurika.
Later, Yurika once again raises her arm to give the "Requiem" command, charging through Zhao Jinyuns' formation. Betelgeuse attempts to pass the ball to her, but the pass is trapped by Kidou, who had worked out their strategy, shocking the pair and leaving Yurika frustrated over their opponent's continued success at reading their actions. Following Procyon's successful save using Black Shield, Yurika is shocked that he needed to resort to his hissatsu technique. She begins talking to herself, stating she must win the match infallibly else her life has no meaning. This belief is reaffirmed to her by an imagined personification of Irina holding onto her with monstrous claws.
Yurika picks up the ball from Procyon's long throw, but her path up the field is obstructed by Haizaki, taunting her by asking where her spirit went. She retorts confidently with a taunt of her own, asking if the team think they can win just because they'd picked themselves back up, dodging Haizaki's attempt to steal during their scuffle. Haizaki denies this, demanding Yurika to look into his team's eyes and see that, from the start, they never once thought of losing. This angers Yurika, who ends the scuffle by passing the ball to Rigel.
After a chain of their passes being interrupted by Zhao Jinyuns' players, Yurika is further frustrated, goading her to swipe the ball from Bellatrix, much to his surprise, and attempts to shoot with Black Field. As Endou yells for his teammates to move away from the shot's path, Yurika wonders why he wants to stop the shot alone, stating that it's useless. Endou successfully stops the shot using an improvised God Hand, causing Yurika to have her warped vision of Irina reaffirm her twisted beliefs once more. She freezes in place, but is calmed down by Betelgeuse's support.
With Kidou's order to attack, Yurika is shocked at Zhao Jinyuns' continued ability to break through her team's defense. She begins tormenting to herself over how this could be happening when they concede a goal to Clario, Ichinose, and Haizaki's Perseus Orb, but Betelgeuse once again comes to support her, encouraging Yurika not to be thrown off by Zhao Jinyuns' pace.
At the next kick-off, Yurika catches Betelgeuse's pass and dribbles down the field alongside him, sprinting ahead and passing back to him to dodge Ichihoshi. She shoots again with Orion Crossviper, thinking to herself that she must win at all costs as it's her entire reason for existing, but her shot is deflected by Endou's Super Megaton Head. Shadow of Orion kick-off again following Inazuma Break CG's goal, but Yurika quickly has the ball stolen from her by Ichinose.
In the wake of Zhao Jinyun's repeated success on the field, Yurika gets the ball stolen from her once more by Asuto, with her collapsing to her knees and screaming. In a desolate snowy landscape envisioned by Yurika's mental state, Asuto tells her that her soccer is wrong, as the pair are surrounded by silhouettes of Orion's players. Yurika responds bitterly, stating that unlike Asuto and his team, she's not playing soccer for fun, but rather that winning gives meaning to her existence. Asuto softly combats this by noting how Yurika appears to be suffering, which she loudly retorts by confirming that in fighting there's always suffering. He disagrees, saying there's days where you win and lose in fighting, and that it's okay for loss to frustrate her as long as she tried for victory again tomorrow. Fighting back at him, Yurika howls that if she loses here then it's all over, and her reason for existing in this world will disappear, but Asuto reassures that she'll still be right there regardless of the result, adding that she makes his heart burn with excitement. Yurika's own heart begins glowing in the vision as she fades back to reality.
Picking up Alnitak's throw in, Yurika dribbles up the field as Asuto's words ring through her mind, questioning herself over why her heart is singing. She later screams whilst charging through Nosaka and Gouenji, but is met by Asuto, causing his words to run through her mind again in affirmation. Yurika returns to her vision of the empty snowfield, where the silhouettes of her teammates are emerging from the shadows into the sun's brightness, with the snow melting away to reveal a lush, grassy meadow. She returns focus to herself, as an image of her Orion Seal fades away. Returning to reality once more with a bright light, Yurika says to herself that she's right there.
Play commences following Irina's capture and freedom of her hostages, with Froy stealing the ball from Yurika and initiating a chain shot with his teammates. After it breaks past her team's defense, Yurika jumps in attempting to repel the ball with her own kick, but is overpowered by Asuto's kick, breaking through Yurika and scoring the winning goal for Zhao Jinyuns, leaving her in amazement. She looks down at the ball in disappointment, pondering to herself why Shadow of Orion couldn't win. Asuto approaches to comfort her by stating it's not that they couldn't win, they merely lost for today. Once again, Yurika stands her ground, with her belief that losers have no value, but is taken aback by Asuto's response that, if she loses, she just has to practice and aim for the next victory. She once more attempts to reaffirm her stance of it being all over for her, but is taken down by Asuto's response that it's not over if you don't quit walking.
With the stadium's roof starting to collapse due to a damaged support beam, Yurika, along with other players from across the world, fire shots at the roof to destroy it before impact. Following the roof's destruction, Yurika looks up at the clear sky. Later, along with her teammates, she says to Asuto that, although they lost today, they'll keep moving forward for the day they win and that she wants to challenge Asuto again. He agrees to this, making Yurika smile.
