In "Juuni Taisen," a battle royale between 12 warriors, each named after a different zodiac animal, continues until only one remains. We'll be taking a closer look at the main character, the Rabbit warrior Yuuki, to find out what kind of character he is and how he performs in the battles of the Juuni Taisen.

In "Juuni Taisen," 12 unique warriors compete in a battle royale until only one remains. Among them, the one who exudes a unique presence is the Rabbit Warrior, Usagi, and Ide and the others attract attention from those around them, so much so that even the viewers are drawn to them. What kind of person is Usagi? Let's start by summarizing his profile based on the story's setting and how he is depicted in the work.
A warrior whose personality is mostly unknown

I would like to introduce the profile of the rabbit warrior, Usagi, but even in the official setting, his personality such as height, weight, and age are unknown. However, the fact that we don't know anything about him makes him even more creepy, emphasizing his status as a warrior of unknown identity. What is clear is that he is a very troublesome presence in the Twelve Great Wars, and that he is said to be one of the top three warriors among those who participate, including Hisaji and those in power.

When you first see Yuuki's appearance, you will be surprised by his outfit and at the same time feel strange. His outfit is a male version of a bunny girl, with his upper body half naked and only hot pants and suspenders. To put it bluntly, he is a freak, but he does have perverse strength, so he can't be made fun of. His behavior and speech are also quite abnormal, making him a character that you can't help but pay attention to.
His title is "Abnormally Killing"

Each warrior participating in the Juuni Taisen has a title, and the title held by the Rabbit Warrior, Yuuki, is "Abnormally Killing". It's a title that matches his appearance and behavior, and I think everyone will agree with it. In the Twelve Wars, titles are only used in ceremonial moments just before a battle or in self-introductions, so hearing this title before a battle can be intimidating.
What were Yuuki's achievements in the Twelve Wars?

In Juuni Taisen, a battle royale between 12 warriors is depicted, with some fierce battles and others quietly concluded. What kind of battles has Yujou been through, and what kind of achievements has he made in Juuni Taisen? We'll be summarizing the actions taken by Yuuki from the scenes depicted in the story, so if you want to see the whole story, please read to the end.
Before the Twelve Wars began, the younger brother of the Danzai Brothers was killed

Before the Twelve Wars began, the younger brother of the Danzai Brothers was killed by someone, but the warriors who entered later did not care and quietly waited for the start. This was the work of Yuuki, who arrived at the venue before anyone else, and when the Danzai Brothers arrived afterwards, they suddenly decapitated the younger Danzai Brother. One would think that the older Danzai Brother would be furious at his brother's death, but he simply watched the situation calmly, creating an eerie atmosphere in the venue.
He takes control of other warriors one after another

Yujou has the ability of "Necromancer" which allows him to freely control those he has killed with his own hands. After first killing the younger brother of the Condemned Brothers, he stabs the Boar Warrior, Inoniku, to death with a large hatchet. The two are turned into puppets by Yuuki, who gives them orders to search for the warriors hiding out throughout the city. Yuuki then engages in combat with the tag team of Suna and Nezumi, but after successfully defeating Suna, he gains new allies and becomes a major threat.
Strength enough to overwhelm Suna and Usagi

In the 12th Juuni Taisen depicted in "Juuni Taisen," the three people who were considered to have high abilities were Usagi, Suna, and Usagi. Yuuki fights the two, and Suna uses his necromantic powers to successfully bring them under his control. In the fight against Usui, he fights with the two Danzai Brothers by his side and succeeds in holding Usui down. For Usui, Usui is a nemesis, as he cannot be killed even when slashed, and it was obvious that Yuuki would win the fight from the standpoint of compatibility.
The story ends with Nezumi blowing it up

As Juuni Taisen reaches its climax, Yujo holds down Usui and takes the upper hand. However, he had taken too much damage in the process and was unable to launch an attack. He was in the process of repairing his body, but when Nezumi appeared with the "Kukai Okuri", Usui made a desperate decision and both of them were blown up. Usui was close to winning, but he was cut up too much by Usui and suffered the bitter defeat.
Special abilities that Yuuki has

The warriors who appear in Juuni Taisen have some special abilities, and Yuuki is one of them. What kind of abilities does Yuuki have, and how does he use them to fight the Juuni Taisen to his advantage? Let's summarize the scenes from the work. We'll be taking a closer look at the secrets behind Yuuki's strength, as well as the secrets and limitations surrounding his abilities and the details of his "necromancer" powers.
You can become "friends" with the people you kill

The special ability "Necromancer" possessed by the Rabbit Warrior Yuuki allows him to become "friends" with the people he kills, and he can use them freely. He can also use the abilities of those he kills, so Yujo will be fighting the Twelve Great Wars with several allies at his side. He is forced to fight until the last warrior, making it extremely difficult for one person to face multiple enemies. Also, in the opening scene, he beheads the younger brother of the Condemned Brothers, but is shown sharing a view through the decapitated head, suggesting that he can use his abilities in special ways.

It seems that Yuuki can control necromancers even if they are killed by his friends, but his friends will attack the opponent without holding back, so there is a possibility that they will become uncontrollable. After realizing this fact, Yuuki tries to kill them last whenever possible. This was discovered during the fight with Uruuma, when the younger brother of the Danzai Brothers continued to burn his opponent with a flamethrower. This is also an important scene, as it also reveals the weakness of the Necromancer's powers.
He also has outstanding physical abilities

Yuuki's necromantic abilities are eye-catching, but as you can imagine from his beautiful physique, he also excels in physical abilities. In his fight with Suna-tsuru, he showed more than equal fighting ability, and even at the end of the battle, he surprised his opponent by suddenly attacking the older brother of the Condemnation Brothers in the air with just a jump. His special abilities alone are powerful enough, but he also has high physical abilities, so it may not be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest being in the Twelve Wars.
Yuuki's wish in the Twelve Taisen

The winner of the Twelve Taisen can have "one wish that he absolutely must have come true" as a prize, but what kind of wish does Yuuki have? Some people may wonder if he has a wish, as he shows his insanity in the story. Let's look at Yuuki's wish from the scenes depicted in the story.
Her wish is "I want friends"

What Yuuki wants is "I want friends," and you can find out when Nezumi traverses various branches in Hundred Clicks. However, as the necromancer himself states, his ability is to "become friends" with the target, so one might wonder if his wish has already been granted. Up until that point, Yuuki's abnormality had been all that stood out, but the things he wants are all human, suggesting that he has a surprisingly normal side to him.
Yuujo wants genuine friends

Using his necromantic powers, Yuujo can easily get what he wants, but it seems that he wants "true friends" in addition to that. When Nezumi and I were talking at the branch of Hundred Click, he revealed his true intentions normally and had a decent exchange. However, because of the eeriness that surrounds him, it seems that no one wants to get close to Yuuki, so the prize given to the winner may be something he cherishes.
Consider Yuuki's strength!

Among the warriors that appear in "Juuni Taisen," Yuuki is the strongest, so let's consider his strength. Yuuki appears in more battle scenes than the other warriors, and from the way he wins every battle, we can see that he is quite strong. We've broken down his true strength into four points to find out just how strong he really is and whether he really is the strongest warrior in "Juuni Taisen," so be sure to check it out until the end.
A Necromancer with cheat-level strength

First and foremost, the most notable thing is Yuujou's ability, "Necromancer." It is a powerful ability that allows him to turn those he kills into his own pawns, and many warriors have fallen to this power. In fact, compared to other abilities, it is a very powerful ability, overwhelming the others, so it may be said to be the strongest ability. This is particularly evident in the fight against Ushii, who was also considered a favorite to win, so be sure to pay attention.
Usagi's nemesis, who boasts extraordinary strength

Usagi is a candidate for the 12th Juuni Taisen and has ridiculous strength, but he is very incompatible with Yujo's necromantic ability. Yuujou's ability means that he can control anything within the range of movement, whether it be chopping it up or mincing it, making him a natural enemy for Usui, who only knows swordsmanship. Therefore, even while under attack, it is Yuujou who is overwhelming him, and in the end, he is able to pin him down and deliver the finishing blow.
Has a slight regenerative ability

Yujou's strength is highlighted by his special abilities, but at the same time, his "regenerative ability" is also worth noting. In the battle with Usui, he is shown to be repairing his body little by little and launching a surprise attack, even though he is cut to pieces. Not only can they use their abilities to attack with multiple people, but they can also use their high physical abilities to attack repeatedly, making them virtually invincible. However, even when they use their regenerative abilities, it takes time to repair themselves, so it's clear that they can't be used carelessly.
Yuujo is also cunning enough to launch a surprise attack

In the fight against the makeshift tag team of Usui and Ushiro, Yuujo is shocked that living humans have formed a trusting relationship with each other, and chooses to commit suicide just before being killed. At the same time, he places himself under the target of the Necromancer's power, demonstrating his quick thinking by continuing to fight even after becoming a corpse. He then forcefully repairs his body and launches a surprise attack on Usui, successfully pinning him down. This brings him one step closer to defeating Usui, but his body is not able to repair in time and he is unable to do anything but hold him down. In the end, he is blown up by Nezumi's "Ugly Ghost Sending" technique and defeated.
Pay attention to the mysterious charm of Usui, whose abnormality can be sensed just from his appearance!

We have summarized the strength and abilities of the Rabbit Warrior, Usagi. With his male version of a bunny girl outfit and his insane behavior, you can't help but feel that he is abnormal. However, he has human-like desires and is upset when he witnesses events that are outside of his normal routine, so he also shows a normal side. Yuuki is a character loved by many fans, so rather than just using this article as a reference to find out why he is so popular, it would be a good idea to actually watch the anime to find out for yourself.
