Yuri Nakamura is the deuteragonist of Angel Beats!.
She is the founder and leader of the Afterlife Battlefront, a brigade that exists to rebel against God, whom she blames for their cruel fates. For her purpose of luring God, she targets Kanade Tachibana, the student council president of Afterlife High School, scapegoating her for her presumed connection with God. After she learns that Angel's true purpose is to guide souls to find peace, she renounces her beliefs, believing herself to be naive for trying to rebel against a god she can't prove exists.
She was voiced by Harumi Sakurai in Japanese and Brittney Karbowski in English.

== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Yuri once lived an idyllic life with her parents and three younger siblings. However, her life was proven to be very fragile when a group of robbers broke into the house while her parents were away. They demanded that Yuri give them her family's prized possessions or else they would kill her three siblings at 10-second intervals. Having never been told where any valuables are kept in her household, she was unable to act composed enough to find anything that might appease them, and ended up falling down the stairs while carrying a large vase. Upon seeing that all her siblings had been killed, she became broken.
She later dies an early death after being hit by a car while waiting for a bus, and reveals her misotheism by forming the Afterlife Battlefront, an organization which exists to rebel against the heavens for being the cruel deciders of their fates. She quickly assumed that Kanade Tachibana, the student council president of Afterlife High School, was a servant of God due to her supernatural abilities, and codenamed her "Angel". Due to her beliefs, she was unable to see Angel in any positive light, and drew the conclusion that the curriculum of Afterlife High School would make everyone disappear forever, unaware that it's true purpose is to guide suffering souls to move on and reincarnate.
Yuri soon encounters Hideki Hinata, and co-founds the Afterlife Battlefront with him. She would spend the rest of her time before the events of the series enlisting new members, and leading strategic operations to apprehend Angel, thinking that this is the appropriate response to her tragedy and hoping to achieve some kind of fulfillment from finding God.
