Description
Juubee Yagyuu serves as the primary heroine and the first master samurai to form a contract with the general Yagyuu Muneakira. Her background is one of mystery, as she abruptly appears by falling from the sky onto the grounds of the Yagyuu dojo with no memory of her past or her true identity. She claims the name of the legendary swordsman Yagyuu Juubee Mitsuyoshi, but the exact nature of her connection to this historical figure remains ambiguous.
The most defining feature of Juubee is her stark dual personality, a result of an incomplete contract formed with a general who had not yet fully awakened to his power. In her normal, untransformed state, Juubee exhibits a childlike and innocent personality. She is airheaded, capricious, and often reckless, though her actions stem from a playful and tender nature. She has a habit of referring to herself in the third person and giving nicknames to those around her, most notably calling Muneakira onii-chan or big brother. In this form, her combat ability is remarkably low, described as being barely above that of a civilian.
When Juubee kisses Muneakira, she enters her Master Samurai form, undergoing a complete transformation in both appearance and demeanor. Her eyes shift from blue to gold, taking on a dragon-like shape, and her personality becomes the opposite of her normal self; she turns into a fierce, sadistic, and mature warrior. Despite this aggressive and dangerous side, this form of Juubee is also an honorable warrior who respects those who have earned it. This transformed state is initially unstable and operates under a time limit, leaving Muneakira immobilized by energy chains while it is active. It is later revealed that her childish personality was a flawed persona created by the imperfect contract, and it seemingly disappears when Muneakira finally awakens his full power as a general, allowing Juubee to completely master her abilities.
Throughout the story, Juubee's primary motivation is her bond with Muneakira, whom she sees as her general and romantic interest. This connection is the key to unlocking and controlling her immense power. Her role is central to the group of master samurai, forming the core of the team that rallies around Muneakira to face various threats. Her key relationships include with Muneakira, her fiancé and general, and with Gisen Yagyuu, who is both her sister and a rival.
Juubee undergoes significant character development, moving from a being with a fractured identity to a more unified and powerful individual. This culminates during a fight with her sister, Gisen, where the feelings and ties to her friends and general cause her two separate personalities to merge into one, granting her even greater power, though initially her body cannot contain it. Later, with training and a better understanding of ki, she gains control of her full potential. Her power eventually evolves into a Samurai Bride form, which combines the abilities of her allied master samurai, and later a Legendary Bride form, which wields a unique power of light.
In terms of abilities, Juubee wields a daishō set, a pair of Japanese swords, one of which is an unusual color. Her swordsmanship skill in her Master Samurai form is of the highest level, complemented by incredible speed and strength. She can manipulate a black aura for attacks and has specific techniques such as Shadow Blink. She also possesses the unique quirk of being able to communicate with monkeys in her normal form. Her power level in her initial Master Samurai form is measured at 5,000,000, eventually reaching over 30,000,000 in her Samurai Bride form.
