Yusai (友才, Yūsai?) is a Japanese samurai who helped train Andy in the past. She later becomes no. 5 of Under. In the 101st loop, she is seat No. 9 of the Union.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Yusai fell for Andy whilst training him and said he'd be a perfect partner to continue her families legacy and make an heir for the future, Andy rejected this offer, saddening Yusai when he left.
Many years later as a member of Under, Yusai had a generally stoic, quiet personality, though she smiled and showed some kindheartedness while fighting Andy. She speaks in a dignified, archaic manner.
In the 101st loop, Yusai's personality remains similar, but she's shown to smile or act in sillier ways more often.
Plot[]
Autumn Arc[]
She is first seen in Akira Kuno's flashback to discover if Andy was real, recalling the summer of that year was when he would come to Japan to practice the quick draw sword technique from her. After Andy managed to master all of her family's arts in one year, she tearfully begs him to stay, in the hopes that they could continue her family's legacy, as well as having fallen for him. Andy agreed to it, but only if she could outlive him. Since this was impossible, he left Yusai in tears as he walked away, over the loss of perhaps the first person she fell in love with, all while Akira notes that "negators are always suffering".
Spring Arc[]
Ragnarok Arc[]
Union Arc[]
She is mentioned as one of the Negators Fuuko wants to save to build the "ultimate Union".
Negator War Arc[]
She is first seen seriously malnourished thanks to keeping an unspecified UMA in place with her newly-awakened Undraw for a week. She is saved just before she can pass out thanks to Fuuko using Unluck to shock the UMA, allowing the both of them to escape. At the Union base, Yusai is fed and is told the whole story about Negators and God, but wonders how she can help since she can't draw her sword anymore. Even so, she then agrees to help save Billy, Tella, and Creed from their tragedies as payment. She starts by helping Fuuko locate Kusuga Village, rescuing Isshin the 12th from the UMA that would kill Haruka's father.
