Yugiri/Relationships

## Franchouchou

### Sakura Minamoto (Zombie #1)

At the beginning of the series, there was little relationship between the two. Until episode 3 when Sakura, after a depressive state that presages her true personality, tries to tell the others how excited she is to do the guerrilla concert. Before saying so, Yugiri slaps her saying the same thing she was going to say, leaving her in shock. In the upcoming episodes, although they rarely interact, Yugiri's personality is comparable to Sakura's and is much more serious and objective when making decisions.

In episodes 10, 11, and 12, Yugiri begins to notice that Kotaro has a thing for Sakura when he sends them to the mountains and is already suspecting that he is up to something, but decides to make Sakura see reason on her own. Near the end of the episode, she tells him that his plan to help Sakura worked, but he refuses to answer, saying that he doesn't know what she means. All this while smiling because she already knows what Kotaro is up to.

In episode 11 she tries twice to make Sakura see reason, the first being a slap, but realizing the state she is in, she goes to talk to her. However, it doesn't work because she left. In the last episode, she unleashes her anger at Sakura's attitude, yelling at her to stop thinking that she is the only one with bad luck, convincing her that they will go to Arpino. Even if the place falls.

In the second season, Yugiri and Sakura act as the mothers of the group with the other girls in the group. One scene from it is when Sakura decides to help Yugiri with Ai's lunch for her TV show, thanks to someone who brought Yugiri food. She alternately shares this role with Sakura. She sometimes acts motherly to the other girls, showing concern and acting in the most mature manner. This makes sense given that she is the oldest girl at the time of death, aside from Tae and Junko (who is the same age, only two months older), as well as being from the oldest era.

### Saki Nikaido (Zombie #2)

Saki treats her as the older sister of the group, apparently because of her ability to control herself and be the most mature of the group; however, they rarely interact in the series. She is the second main character along with Saki who knows how to fight. In her case, she was known as “Hibiya's Demon” when she was alive. Unlike Saki, who knocks her opponents unconscious, she has killed her enemies with a direct hit.

### Ai Mizuno (Zombie #3)

Although they are both mature, Ai has the trauma that left her marked. In episode 6 when they try to convince her to reconcile with Junko, she just leaves, Yugiri tells Saki that many disputes start because both sides are right about something. Fortunately, after Saga Rock, her relationship with Junko stabilizes. In episode 11, Ai stops her from slapping Sakura when she just woke up. Along with Ai, they are the girls who have the most total knowledge of the project, as they both dig into the roots of Kotaro's plan and argue that Kotaro's depression in episode 13 is because he was rushing to get something.

### Junko Konno (Zombie #4)

Like Junko, both are trying to adjust to the current era, but it is Yugiri who manages to adapt faster than her as she manages to focus on modern life and look at things calmly. Even being the same age of death, Yugiri acts more mature than Junko when it comes to relationships with people and the environment.

### Lily Hoshikawa (Zombie #6)

A good combination of mother and daughter who usually act together if you pay attention. The reason they are close to each other even though they are opposite in both times and age is that Lily wants Yugiri to look like her late mother. She quickly bonds with Lily, being a source of comfort and praise for the young zombie. She was also quite popular with the young Kamuros when she was in her native home, who were heartbroken to learn that she was moving to Saga.

In the series, this is demonstrated several times. Lily accompanies Yugiri around the city and teaches her many things about modern life, and they go together to do activities. This request from Yugiri was because in the past, she made the promise to Kiichi that both would see the Saga that he would create. Yugiri tries to protect Lily and vice versa, as when Lily prevented Kotaro from shooting Yugiri with the water gun in episode 3.

They mutually accompany each other to any place or sit together to share the things they like. Lily likes to talk about her mother with Yugiri, Yugiri mentions that she is always thinking of that person she met in the past, and he will always be watching over them.

### Tae Yamada (Zombie #0)

Tae and Yugiri don't connect regularly, but they both seem to respect each other. Yugiri is attentive to Tae to prevent her from doing her crazy things and as seen during Episode 18 Yugiri is the one who entrusts Tae with the food errands along with Romero so that they are both safe.

## Others

### Kotaro Tatsumi

Although Kotaro from the beginning never spoke to her, Yugiri always did what he told them. In episode 10 it is when she notices that sending the girls to the mountains must be related to Sakura's attitude of over-exerting herself. In the mountains, her suspicions are confirmed and with a smile on her face, she decides not to do anything and leaves Sakura to discover what she must find. When they return to Karatsu, Yugiri goes to the bar where Kotaro was, made up obviously, and tells him that he is very kind to Sakura. Kotaro tries to get out of the conversation and says that he sent the group so that each one works in the mountains and joins as a team, but before he finishes saying his sentence, Yugiri slaps him, leaving him in shock. At the end of the episode, she tells him that what he was trying to do with Sakura worked, to which he replies that he doesn't know what she's talking about.

The only girl that Kotaro doesn't bother is Yugiri, and this is due to Jofuku's request not to touch her, since in the past she saved his life by helping Kiichi get Saga back. As well revealed in the Jihen Saga arc, Yugiri is aware when a man is in love because of the experience she had with Kiichi in the past. So, when Kotaro continuously showed appreciation for Sakura, she quickly realized that the latter was in love with her.

### Officer A

As seen in Revenge, now that she attends a bar, the police officer who used to go after the girls, drinks in her bar and gets drunk to the point of flirting with Yugiri about how beautiful she is. Probably because of his drunkenness, he doesn't realize of her pale makeup or that he has never seen her in her zombie form.

### Jofuku

Yugiri took care of Kiichi's grandfather by giving him his medicines so that he could recover, but according to Jofuku, it would be useless because **he is Saga**. Even so, Yugiri forced him to take the medicine so that he would feel better at least.

When she sacrifices herself for Kiichi for him to create a new Saga; Jofuku finds a letter written by her before she was executed, telling him that she will probably be dead by now for taking responsibility for the bloodshed and rebellion in Saga. In the letter, Yugiri asks her to inform Kiichi that she got out of Saga safely and guide the new Saga that Kiichi would create.

In the present, they both go to the New Jofuku bar and talk about what happened in the past and the Saga incident.

She seems to be the only one besides Kotaro who knows about Jofuku, sitting down with him for a drink and calmly reminiscing about the past together. All while being aware of Jofuku's immortality and necromantic powers.

### Romero

The dog of Jofuku and the Momozaki family. Whom Yugiri has had a lot of confidence since ancient times. Shortly after waking up in episode 2, Yugiri can be seen caressing Romero in the background, giving us hints of their past relationship. Romero is sent by her when Tae has to go shopping, since Yugiri knows that Romero will always be a faithful dog who will protect the girls.

### Kiichi Momozaki

Both meet for the first time in the cherry park of the citadel of the city of Saga, and Kiichi immediately falls in love with Yugiri. In the afternoon and with the information he got from Ito, he is going to give her a comb and despite the Yugiri's warnings he decides to stay at her house, but because he had previously fallen into a lake, Kiichi falls ill. Since Kiichi makes himself loved by her, he is the first person in Saga to socialize with her for reasons unrelated to an Oiran. Later, Yugiri goes to Kiichi's house to give him medicine and meets his grandfather. According to Kiichi, he was an orphan until Jofuku adopted him and gave him the task of saving Saga. They both worked together to attract more people to the cause, despite Ito's warnings.

Now fleeing as fugitives, Yugiri slaps Kiichi for giving up and tells him that these people will not die in vain and that despite his childish and idealistic dream, he must fulfill it because a price was paid for it. Before they both part, Yugiri gives Kiichi a letter that says that he must flee to Nagasaki and that she contacted powerful people to prevent the government from touching him. Kiichi escapes from Saga thinking that Yugiri also escaped from Saga and never knowing her tragic fate. She gave her life to save Kiichi, taking all the blame for starting the rebellion and also for Ito's death, allowing Kiichi to escape and continue working to restore Saga. In her letter to Jofuku, she asks him to tell Kiichi that she left Saga safely, when the reality was that she had already been executed.

She is indirectly responsible for having restored Saga Prefecture. She saved Kiichi from certain doom, allowing him to escape unscathed and launch a campaign to restore Saga's prefectural status. Unfortunately, not many in the present seem to remember her.

The comb that she uses in the present for when she feels nervous or during important events was a gift from her old friend Kiichi. It has been preserved for more than a century.

### Shojiro Ito

Shojiro, who was aware of Saga and knew Yugiri through rumors and his knowledge of her said that she was a high courtesan whose price rose so much that even government officials refused to pay her, so her freedom was bought and taken to Saga along with Mr. Hibiya, who would later pass away from a mysterious illness.

Shojiro and Yugiri meet personally for the first time when he is going to bring fresh fish to Yugiri at her house, but this is done stealthily to avoid attracting Yugiri's attention. Which ends up failing since she felt him at the time of getting in. Shojiro talks about Yugiri and Kiichi's relationship and tells both of them that they could start a family together and have children, this makes Kiichi so nervous that he faints in front of Yugiri. Behind Kiichi's back, Shojiro proposes to Yugiri that they should stop trying to save Saga, since they would get into a lot of trouble for that very reason.

Shortly before December. Kiichi, Yugiri, and Ito are going to take a photo in the center of the city and at the exit, some rebels call Kiichi and because of this Shojiro warns Yugiri of something that is about to happen. After his informant informs him of the imminent rebellion, Shojiro goes to speak with Yugiri personally and tells her that she and Kiichi should leave Saga before something bad happens. Unfortunately, it is too late and Ito is forced to kill the rebels and almost murder his best friend.

Leaving Kiichi to escape, Yugiri is forced to confront who once was her friend and Kiichi's. Yugiri finishes Shojiro with one blow and is surprised that Ito allowed himself to be stabbed. Ito confesses to her before his death that he also wanted to see the Saga that Kiichi would create before he bled to death in the snow.
