About

Kakegae Yuzuri is a character from the anime "Medaka Box," portrayed faithfully to the original work. ### 1. Overview She is a "Stylist" (User of Words) who claims the title of Number Zero, asserting she is even stronger than the top-ranked Stylist, Mogura Kugurugi. She is one of Medaka Kurokami's true suitors and represents the Yuzuri family, a branch of the Kurokami clan. During the Jet-Black Wedding feast, Gizou Yuzuri acted as her body double. Ultimately, she became a member of the Rokugonshu, serving directly under Medaka Kurokami after Medaka became the chairperson of the Kurokami Group. ### 2. Appearance, Personality, and Character A young girl with slightly reddish eyes. She has long blonde hair parted in the middle, with the sides tied into twin tails and the rest flowing down her back. In the "Jet-Black Bride" arc, she first appeared in pajamas, then later in a purple dress. In the "Unknown Shiranui" arc, she appeared in a nurse's outfit. While she had no significant dialogue in the "Jet-Black Bride" arc, she introduced herself cheerfully and loquaciously when she appeared before Medaka's group in the "Unknown Shiranui" arc. Among the branch families, she addresses Medaka politely as "Medaka-sama" and speaks in a formal tone, yet her manner is somewhat provocative, suggesting she enjoys combat. However, she seems to worry about having acted too boldly toward Medaka. Her corsage during the Hyakurinso race contained a message asking Medaka not to hold a grudge or seek retaliation. Later, while working as one of the Rokugonshu, she was assigned a massive workload (possibly because Medaka mistakenly believes there are 640,000 Kakegaes), leading her to fret that she is being targeted for revenge. This suggests she might actually be quite timid. Furthermore, despite her complaints, she secretly enjoys being worked to the bone. ### 3. Combat Style and Words (Styles) She is a "Stylist" who possesses two distinct Styles. **"Eight Hundred Lies" (Usohappyaku-tsukai)** A Style she used to challenge Medaka Kurokami. When active, the kanji for "Lie" appears on her tongue. It allows her to create 800 physical clones of herself, each possessing the same abilities. Consequently, her combat style focuses on overwhelming opponents with sheer numbers. She can even stack these lies (800 x 800 clones). **"Metonymy" (Kanyu-tsukai)** A Style she used to buy time for Namani Nienami to teach Zenkichi Hitoyoshi a Style during Iihiko Shishime's invasion. When active, the kanji for "Metaphor" appears on her tongue. She can transform into anything that shares a similar nature to herself and use that target's abilities. For example, she could transform into Namani Nienami because they share the common traits of being Medaka Kurokami's suitors and being Stylists. She used this Style to fight Iihiko while disguised as Namani. Theoretically, she could have "become" Iihiko Shishime himself, but Hanten Shiranui speculated that even then, she wouldn't have been able to even force a draw against the original. These two Styles reflect her own inherent quality of being unable to become a "unique individual."
