Yuriko Ishizaka (
She was killed by Jagasaki and existed merely as a severed head in his fridge, awaiting revival. Later, Takemitsu Mikazuchi would steal her head to blackmail Shintaro into joining the S.K.A.T team. Eventually, however, Jagasaki burned Yuriko's head, resolving that his struggle to atone for her death was merely a means of self-gratification. He regretted not telling her to break up while she was alive.
Appearance[]
Yuriko was a young woman with long, straight hair and fair skin, possessing a slim and fairly well-endowed figure. She had a D-Cup bust and typically wore a black shirt paired with a matching skirt.
In her Fractured Human form, Yuriko's hair becomes disheveled and tangled, her eyes turn black, and tears continuously stream down her face. The most striking transformation is the enormous scorpion-like tail ending in a humanoid hand, with a hooked ring finger serving as the stinger.
Personality[]
In her brief appearances, Yuriko displayed kindness and care for her boyfriend, Jagasaki, deeply concerned for his well-being. This is evident when, upon seeing him exhausted and drenched in sweat, she provided a first aid kit and made him curry ramen due to his poor condition.
After being infected by a Frenzied Frog, Yuriko reveals her true desires for children and a family with Jagasaki. In her Fractured Human form, she enters a rage, demanding that Jagasaki marry her while strangling him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Yuriko as Hiscorpion
Increased Strength[]
Like many other Fractured Humans, Yuriko possesses enhanced strength in her transformed state. This is demonstrated when she overpowers and begins to strangle Jagasaki, who is larger and stronger than her, before she ultimately Fractures.
Finger Stinger[]
Yuriko's unique feature as a Fractured Human is her scorpion-like tail, ending in a hand with a large, hooked stinger on the ring finger. It remains unclear if her stinger can produce venom, as she is only shown attacking through strangulation.
Frenzied Frog[]
Yuriko's Frenzied Frog
Etymology[]
- The name Yuriko means "reason, case, cause" (由) (yu), "benefit, advantage" (利) (ri) and "child" (子) (ko).
- Yuriko's surname Ishizaka means "stone, volume measure" (石) (ishi) and "slope, hill" (坂) (saka/zaka).
Trivia[]
- The symbolic meanings of the scorpion include sex, passion, death, and isolation, most likely explaining why Yuriko acquired a scorpion-like tail due to her desires. Fitting with how Yuriko felt the loneliness of the relationship between her and Jagasaki being a shell of its former self.
- The reason for the stinger being on the hand's ring finger is likely due to her desire to marry Shintarou Jagasaki.
