Junho Yu

**Junho Yu** is a supporting character in **The Warrior Returns**. He is the only survivor of the group of warriors who sided with the South Korean government against the 9-Warriors.

## Appearance

Junho Yu is a young man with a feminine face and golden eyes. He has green hair styled with twin bangs framing his face and is dressed in wooden armor with green clothing underneath. In addition, he has two star-shaped flowers adorning his head and a pair of stag-like horns on his head, one shorter than the other.

## Personality

Junho Yo has been described by Seongjun Lee as being "too kind", which caused him to be killed in several timelines. However, he is also quite perceptive, being able to deduce Seongjun's circumstances and goals from mere observations. In fact, its due to this kindness that he was chosen to be a Hero in the first place.

According to Junho himself, however, his passivity does not actually come from sympathy but rather cowardice, lacking the courage to stand up for himself. This is proven somewhat true when he initially did nothing when Minsu Kim began his rampage, constantly making excuses why he should not get involved. However, his true sympathetic nature ultimately pulled through, being unable to bare watching anymore and doing everything he can to aid those around him.

## History

### Original Timeline

In the original timeline, before Seongjun Lee traveled back in time and began altering events, Junho Yu was also one of the Warriors who sided against that world's 9-Warriors. However, he ended up dying at some point. While the circumstances are unknown, Seongjun stated that his "overly kind nature" played a huge role in it. Seongjun would attempt to save him by going back in time but was ultimately unable to.

### Alternate Timelines

After inadvertently being sent back in time after dying from old age, Seongjun would use the opportunity to finally save the Verdant Warrior, which was one of his regrets in the original timeline. Junho would continue to survive every subsequent loop where Seongjun was part of the Rebel Warriors.

Unfortunately, Junho and Seongjun would ultimately end up becoming enemies, after the latter joined the 9-Warriors in hopes that he or one of the other Rebel Warriors might be able to kill him. This new antagonistic relationship continued when Seongjun began his plan to turn one of the 9-Warriors into a Demon Lord so that they could finally kill him.
