Description
In the world of Petals of Reincarnation, Jūbei Mitsuyoshi Yagyū is a formidable figure known as a Returner. Specifically, she is classified as a Perfect Returner and a Great-type, meaning the talent she has reincarnated with comes from a figure of genuine historical greatness and heroism, as opposed to the Sinner-type Returners who draw from infamous villains and murderers.
As a Perfect Returner, Jūbei exists permanently in her transformed state, a distinction that marks her as different from others who must actively shift to access their inherited powers. When her abilities are in use, her throat releases a flurry of petals, a common visual trait among Returners indicating the activation of their past-life talents. Her reincarnated talent is known as The Extremes of an Inch, a power inherited from the famous Japanese swordsman and instructor to the Shōgun who shares her name. While the full scope of this ability is not explicitly detailed, it is understood to grant her not only a genius-level mastery of swordsmanship but also other, unspecified enhancements that make her a highly effective combatant.
Jūbei is a member of the Forest of the Greats, an organization composed of Returners whose stated mission is to eliminate Sinner-type Returners and work toward global peace. She serves as a member of the group’s expedition team, which typically operates outside of Japan. However, she is called back to Japan alongside her comrades to participate in a major confrontation against a Sinner army led by an antagonist named Kouu. In this role, she is a proactive agent of the organization’s will, operating on the front lines rather than in a support or administrative capacity.
In terms of her capabilities, Jūbei possesses superhuman physical characteristics and is considered a master swordswoman. Her attack power is rated at wall level, with a demonstrated feat of easily slicing a large door into pieces. She herself considers her strength to be greater than that of another Returner, Haito Le Buffet, specifically when he is in his incomplete form. Her combat speed is likely subsonic, and her overall durability and stamina are similarly high, comparable to other frontline fighters in her group.
Despite her formidable powers, The Extremes of an Inch does have limitations. Like most humans, she is subject to normal human weaknesses and is not invulnerable. Her intelligence is described as average, with her true genius being almost entirely focused on the art of the sword. She remains a calm and collected warrior whose primary role within the story is as a powerful ally and a member of the expedition team, lending her legendary sword skills to the larger battle against the Sinners.
