Yuri Saiki is the only character who appeared in both anime and first game, her behaviour and character takes changes from game to anime. In game Yuri was a 300IQ hacker who ordered everything online and sitting inside school club room on the roof most of her school time, before she meets with Hinako the game protagonist. Hinako is her first and best friend, she teaches Yuri about outside world since Yuri hid herself behind online world and didn't know much about real world. She get reflector ring and become a support character to Hinako.


This was a past Yuri, current Yuri is a member of enigmatic organisation AASA which observe reflectors. Yuri interaction in anime is only with Miyako,Kokoro and Mio. She changed school from Hoshinomiya from the game to Tsukinomiya in the anime.



Her actions is not entirely good or evil, she is not helping with battles against dark reflectors, she is not preventing of opening gate to the "Common", she is just observed or discussed things with Miyako. We don't see her true motives or honest feelings, current Yuri is very enigmatic, she even watched comatose Momo at the hospital,her only noticeable actions are giving rings to characters. First when Mio decided to join Shino, Yuri appeared before her clearly knowing who she is and asking her a favor when presenting a ring. Second in last episode when she put black ring on Miyako hand,the previous black ring almost made Niina lose herself, but for what sake this ring was given to Miyako remains hidden. Sometimes it feels like Yuri knows what will happen in the future. She is not participating in alliance of dark/light reflectors who wants to stop Shino.
We can see a bit of her feelings in 21ep when she talks with Miyako and her expression is really sad when she heard that they want to go to the Common to stop Shino.



I want to hear suggestions about what happened to Yuri in period between game and anime, what about her friendship with Hinako? Is Yuri actually a hidden antagonist? Is she a true leader of AASA? Why she changed school? Is she doing all of this for the sake of Hinako? Any suggestions welcomed.

It is still unknown what happened to Hinako, little is known about the organization either, perhaps Yuri just decided to solve the problems in her own way.

We still don't know if Ray is set in the exact same timeline as the original so it's really hard to speculate about Yuri (or the Citrus sisters).
I've got the feeling that Ray won't answer most questions but the new game on the other hand might actually solve some of the current mysteries.

Arrival of Kokoro can give a bit info about timeline = Original game ->Ray->Tie. Since she is one of the main characters from the second game and full reflector, in ray she is just a candidate. Ray ends just a few weeks before second game Japanese release,and maybe the Tie starts right from the moment where anime ends. We still don't know what damage Shino did to Common or timelines,the world in Tie can be a result of the final battle in Ray.

Yuri's not an antagonist. They gave her a weird, unexplained role within a secret organization that they won't elaborate on and had her act outside of it of her own accord, but nothing she did during the series was antagonistic. On top of this, while she is a more neutral party in all of this she never interacts with the villains in any way that we've seen.
Even in the scene where she Gives Mio the ring, that was probably more to present her with a choice between the two sides for storytelling purposes rather than to have Yuri knowingly creating any significant choice for her.

Also I need to point this out because you seem to be really mistaken about this and continually bring it up, but the ring Yuri has is either her supporter ring from her time with Hinako or a copy. It's why she regards it so fondly when she looks at it in the show.
In the games, when the Sephirot came to attack they would freeze time from their presence. The only ones able to act outside of this were Reflectors, their supporters or people with fragments so strong it allowed them to resist a Sephirot's influence. This is clearly shown in the scene where she gives the ring to Miyako, allowing her to act outside of the Leap Range freeze even though a moment before she had been frozen like everyone else. Because of the fact that it resists the influence without giving them Reflector powers (similar to the ones from the game) leads me to believe the ring isn't the same as the one Shino had, despite similar looks.

After completing 100% second game i can give some light on this things we have about Yuri,AASA, dark rings, mysterious shadow. Beware of the spoilers if you are not beat the game yet.

Unfortunately we didn't get a lot of new information about AASA except it's really big organisation and have maybe hundreds of reflectors and there is another rival organisation to AASA, the name is unknown.

Yuri and many characters from first game and anime is totally absent only who appeared are -Hinako,Hiori,Mio,Uta, Sarasa only for flashback.

Dark rings are not mentioned at all, even concept of dark reflectors is absent, still a mystery.

The shadow that give rings to Shino and other dark reflectors - it didn't mentioned clearly but it can be


All of BLue Reflection Universe is basically


There is a scene after credits when you beat second game
