Summary
A Magical Girl who is the eldest Sister of Promised Blood, specializing in strategic fighting. After accepting her resentment, she no longer hides her bitterness, and is fueled by her emotions. She is extremely sweet to her friends. She's fond of ice cream to cool her head.
Doppel Description
The doppel of chastisement. Its form is a prison guard. This master of this emotion could not control the emotions stored within, and was controlled to be replaced by the swelling emotions. As a result, the doppel that was supposed to be created is now controlled by the flesh bud of an emotional baby, which is constantly being sucked for energy to help it grow. The doppel is a lump of instinct without a shred of reason, a being that crushes what it doesn't like with its emotions and eats energy at will. On the rare occasions when it tries to explain itself with words, it only sounds like air leaking out of a cave, never conveying anything. It is in a good mood when its full, but if it eats a little too much, it seems to vomit energy out of its mouth.
Costume Stories
While struggling to find something suitable to wear for going out to dinner with her father, Yuna and Iroha cross paths. After hearing about Yuna’s predicament, Iroha offers to help her find something suitable, much to her surprise. Thanks to Yachiyo’s assistance, it doesn’t take very long to find the right outfit.
As a token of thanks, Yuna offers to take Iroha out for ice cream, even though it’s currently winter. As they sit and enjoy their frozen treat, Iroha suggests that they do this more often in the summer. Yuna frowns, believing that Iroha is taking their current peace for granted, but she smiles at the idea of enjoying ice cream with everyone.Yuna comes home from her job as the secretary for the mayor. Ao comes running to her "Mom", saying she is tired. When she asks why, Yuna says that the mayor said "not so nice things that could hurt someones feelings." After Ao asks if the mayor apologized, Yuna said no. Ao eventually convinces Yuna to talk to the mayor to get him to apologize so that "everyone will like him again". While Yuna doesnt believe everyone will like him again, she agrees to no longer sit idly by and promises Ao that, tomorrow, she will talk to the mayor.

Other Appearances
Powers and Abilities
Yuna has the ability of 'target redirection', allowing her to link someone to someone or something else (such as a person to an object); when one takes damage, the other feels the pain inflicted. She has used this to link Juri Oba to a tire in a playground and inflicted damage on it to hurt Juri. This can be visually seen in the movements when she fights in-game; even though she visually hits one tile in her Blast disks, the damage is reflected on everything in the row.
Etymology
- The characters of her last name mean "crimson" (紅) and "clear" (晴) respectively.
- The characters of her first name mean "bind" (結) and "vegetable" (菜) respectively.
Trivia
- Yuna has a clear Oni aesthetic. Like traditional Oni, she has a horn, wears a costume resembling loincloth, and uses a spiked club as her weapon. She used to lead Torayamachi, named after the tiger, and Oni traditionally bear both tiger (striped loincloth) and ox (the horns) characteristics because they come from the ox/tiger gate, also known as the demon gate.
- She contracted in her first year of high school and has been a magical girl for two years.
- According to Hikaru's MGS, she is the Student council president and the daughter of Futatsugi's mayor.
- Her Doppel "Tiracchana" is named after the buddhist concept on animals. The term is originally Pali language and is written as "畜生" in Chinese characters. The term "畜生" is used in Buddhism to refer to non-human animals. They are often regarded as as lower than humans and incapable of attaining Buddhahood (but of course depending on the sect). It is also perceived as a foolish being preoccupied with instinct urge, and is sometimes used as an abusive term for evil people, like "brute" in English.
- Yuna shows a remarkable amount of similarities to Oriko Mikuni. Both are daughters of politicians, are well-respected third-year seniors at school and start as kind characters but their experiences make them more ruthless in order to get what they believe it's the best for everyone. She also has a codependent relationship with another girl who's fanatically devoted to her (Hikaru Kirari for Yuna and Kirika Kure for Oriko).
- Yuna also forms a contrast to both Yachiyo and Iroha:
- Yuna is similar to if Yachiyo would have turned out if she allowed her grief, anger, and self-loathing over Mel and Kanae's fates completely consume her, had she not have Iroha by her side to prove to her that their misfortune was never her fault. Even their abilities are opposites of each other: While both of their personal magic have to do with the souls of the departed, Yachiyo is powered by the hope of her fallen allies, while Yuna is powered by her people's more negative emotions.
- Before the witch drought and the Futatsugi civil war occurred, Yuna started out similarly to Iroha, but mostly loses these traits after she goes through severe turmoil during the events of Crimson Resolve and becomes fully motivated by her rage and hatred towards the Kamihama Magical Girls for their part in the Witch drought that caused the bloody war in the first place. Part of her complicated animosity towards Iroha is rooted in Iroha being a shadow of who Yuna once was as unlike her, despite also going through various tribulations, Iroha never forsook her compassion for everyone even though she could easily have done so after everything the Magius and Promised Blood put her and her friends through.
- Yuna also forms a contrast to both Yachiyo and Iroha:

"I want to be an unbreakable being, I want to be a being that can carry through everything.
Even if tens of thousands of fires rain down, even if a strong wall stands up over and over again. Even if I'm exhausted, I want to keep running for the sake of those who want to live. So I want to become the strongest weapon and shield. The strongest contradiction of the two." | 「決して破られない存在でありたい、全てを貫く存在でありたい
幾千幾万の火が降り注ごうとも、幾重にも並ぶ堅牢な壁であっても 精根尽き果てるまで、生きがいである人のために駆け続けたい だから最強の矛であり盾となる。ふたつを纏う最強の矛盾として」 |
|||
Blood drips, one drop, one drop, the crimson of life.
The deep red hardens, spreading outward, a chain of deaths. A vow to some, to ourselves, to grieve over someone, to my brethren. A taste that fills, a rising scent, I will never forget it, the taste of Promise. | 滴る血、1滴、1滴、命の赤
固まる臙脂、広がり連なる、死の鎖 誓いは誰に、我々に、悼みは誰に、同胞に 満ちる味、立つ香り、忘却許さぬ、約束の味 |
|||
It was the battle that remained at the end of the battle.
It was the plot that was layered above the plot. The sight you're tired of seeing, the final layer, the people change but the same scene is engraved. I wish, I just hope, I just want an end to the end. | 争いの果てに残ったのは争いだった
謀の上に重ねられたのは謀だった 見飽きた光景、上塗りの結末、人が変わって同じ光景が刻まれる 願うばかり、ただ願うばかり、終われ終われと願うばかり |
|||
Acknowledged by the Uwasa and guided by them to a banquet in the Land of the Pure.
The respite may be cold, but I can't help but feel at peace. I'm certain it's because in the end, we were able to fit together beautifully in a single hand. ...That's what I thought, but a warm voice is trying to pull me back. | ウワサに認められ、導かれるのは浄土の宴
休は冷たくなっても、安らかな気分でいられるのは きっと、最期にひとつの手の中で、美しく収まることができたから …そう思ったのに、温かい声が私を引き戻そうとしている |
|||
"That's her, isn't it? Kureha-san, who became the student council president as a freshman..."
"She's so imposing, so dependable... it's hard to believe she's an underclassman." "Maybe she can be the one to transform this crappy school." "I get it! She's one of those what's-it-called... um... oh, a revolutionary!" | 「彼女だよね?1年生で生徒会長になった紅晴さんって…」
「堂々としていて、頼りがいがあって…なんだか下級生とは思えない」 「…彼女なら、このクソみたいな学校を変えてくれるのかも」 「わかる!そういうのなんて言うんだっけ…えっと…そう、革命家!」 |
|||
**Unique to Yuna Kureha** A kind-hearted girl who became the student council president to give freedom and well-being to the school. For someone, she overcame any adversity. It is a fountain pen given by a loved one that supports her behind the scenes. The brush is looking forward to the continuation of the revolution spelled by it’s new owner. | 学校に自由と安寧を与えるために生徒会長になった心優しい少女
誰かのため、そう思えば彼女はどんな逆境も乗り越えられた そんな彼女を陰で支えるのは、大切な人から贈られた万年筆 その筆は、新たな持ち主が綴る革命の続きを心待ちにする |

"Speaking of New Year's, mochi stretches really far. I'm wishing for a long life when I eat it."
"I'll bite everyone's head to make them healthy! Where's Madoka-senpai?" "I'm summoning God from this Kadomatsu! ...Hey, it's here! The MagiRepo God for 2020 is...!" "It's Yuna Kureha..." | 「正月と言えば長く伸びるお餅。食事をしながら長寿を願うわよ」
「私はみんなの頭を噛んで無病息災にしてきます!まどか先輩は?」 「門松で神を呼ぶよ!…ほら、キテる!2020年のマギレポに神が…!」 「紅晴結菜よぉ…」 |

That day, we talked about a happy and common future.
That day, when the scenery that I took for granted collapsed in front of my eyes, That day, when she was so consumed by feelings of resentment that she even forgot the teachings of her loved ones, The girl became a demon and laughed sadly, saying that talking about the future was simply futile. | あの日、語り合ったのは幸せでありふれた未来
当たり前に訪れると思ったその景色が目の前で崩れ落ちたあの日 恨みの想いに飲み込まれ、大切な人の教えすら忘れかけたあの日 少女は鬼となり、未来を語ることなど虚しいだけだと、悲しげに笑った |
|||
After all those battles, all those blood sheds, and all those friends we lost. But, when we wear our school uniforms, we can spend our time in love, studying, and having first world problems. | 戦いに明け暮れて、血を流して、仲間を失って
それでも制服を身に纏えばただの年頃の少女たち 恋に、勉強に、等身大の悩みを抱えて過ごす どうしようもなく下らなくて、愛おしい日常を |
|||
Today is special because my heart is shining with my daily gratitude and sincerity...
If you wrap it elegantly, you'll get the most unique gift in the world! ...No matter how well you wrap it up, can you ever fully hide this gift’s shine? | 今日という日が特別なのは愛しい想いが輝いているから
日頃の感謝と真心をこめて… 上品に包めば、世界にひとつだけの贈り物のできあがり! …どんなに上手に包んでも、この輝きは隠せない? |
|||
Gentle and lovely days that I never imagined at first.
I'll never forget them, even when I'm gone. Thank you for letting me in. Until we meet again, goodbye. | はじめは想像もしなかった優しく愛しい日々
ここを離れても、きっとずっと忘れない 受け入れてくれてありがとう また会う日まで、さようなら |
|||
Family, friends, and sometimes even a fluttering love!
The name of this gentle place where troubled girls run to is Mikazuki Villa. Even today, Mikazuki Villa is crowded with the memories of girls ...Such a what-if story | 家族のことや友だちのこと、時にはときめく恋だって
悩める少女たちが駆け込む、優しい場所の名前はみかづき荘 今日もみかづき荘は、少女たちの想いでひしめきあっている …そんな、もしもの物語 |
|||
The everyday life that might have been, the past that we miss but cannot return to.
Even if they're forced to do so with painful reluctance, the only thing that lies ahead is the future. No matter how painful or hard it is, Magical Girls don't give up. Aiming for the one and only future that shines ahead, a future that can be saved. | あったかもしれない日常、懐かしくも戻れない過去
後ろ髪を引かれたとしても、進む先は未来だけ 苦しくても、辛くても、魔法少女たちは諦めない その先に光る、たったひとつの救われる未来を目指して |
|||
A noisy night, with pillows flying and laughter echoing.
It's supposed to be an outlandish fantasy, yet somehow it feels so cozy Ever since I met you, I've been going crazy I can't give up this life, this world, anymore. | 枕が飛び交い、笑い声が響く、騒がしい夜
らしくもない空想のはずなのに、どこか居心地がよい あなたと出会ってから、私の調子は狂いっぱなし もうこの生を、この世界を、諦められなくなってしまった |
|||
**Unique to Yuna・Juri (Vampire ver.)** It's probably "out of character" to try so hard for a girl I've only just met. I know that the words "for the sake of someone else..." don't suit me at all. But it's even more "out of character" for me to stand still, unable to do anything. So, this is a strategy meeting not for her, but for me. | 会って間もない少女のために頑張るのは、きっと“らしくない”
誰かのため…なんて言葉が似合わないことも自分が一番知っている でも、何もできずに足踏みをするのはもっと“らしくない” だから、これはあの子のためじゃなくて自分のための作戦会議 |
|||
"Why the hell does Juri-sama have to pick up trash...?"
“It’s your fault for taking advantage of the number of attendance days…” "Yuna-san! Look at this! This pencil case looks like it could still be useful!" "Uraraaaa...that's so dirty...don't do that...." | 「なんで樹里サマがゴミ拾いなんてしなきゃなんねーんだよ…」
「出席日数に釣られたあなたが悪いわよぉ…」 「結菜さん!これ見るんよ!この筆箱、まだ使えそうなんよ!」 「うららぁ…はしたないわよぉ…やめなさぁい…」 |
|||
What I came up with is the best game to make everyone smile!
It's backgammon with lots of penalties! Don't you guys like that kind of thing? Big Sister is the cat and Big Sis is the lady! And then, and then...! C'mon, it's going to be the best Halloween ever~! | 思いついたのは、みんなが笑顔になる最高のゲーム!
それは、罰ゲームだらけのすごろく!みんな、そういうの好きでしょ? 姉さまはネコで、姉ちゃんはお嬢様!それからそれから… クスッ、最高のハロウィンになりそうな予感~ |
|||
Between us, gloomy words probably wouldn't suit one another.
That's why we fight together, lean on each other's backs, and share our hearts. Let's save the things we wanted to say and the feelings we wanted to convey until the day we meet again in the distant future. | 私たちの間に、きっと湿っぽい言葉は似合わない
だから共に戦い、背を預けあって、心を交わす 言いたかったことも、伝えたかった想いも 遠い未来で訪れる再会の日まで、取っておこう |
|||
I keep coming back to it over and over again.
The wailing of dying girls and the choking smell of their blood. Clutching the sensation of blood lingering in the palm of my hand, I face my unforgivable sins... Is it because I want to be punished, or... | 何度も何度も思い出す
死にゆく少女らの慟哭と、むせ返るような血のにおい 手の平に残る血の感覚を握りしめ、赦されない罪と向き合うのは 制裁を受けたいからなのか、あるいは… |
|||
A simmering, overflowing pitch-black passion drives me,
reaching out from the darkness to entangle the one whom I must settle my grudge against, and takes away everything and everyone, not only my life, but also the dreams and hopes that spill over and try to connect, all of it. | 煮えたぎり溢れかえった真っ黒な情念が私を突き動かし、
闇から伺い手を伸ばして、怨恨を晴らすべき相手を絡め取る そして私はなにもかもすべてを奪い去る 命はもちろん、零れ落ちて繋がろうとする夢も、希望も、すべてを |
|||
"I never thought I'd have to fight against Iroha... But I'm not going to lose because I'm going to do it."
"I won't hold back either! As the representative of the Red Team, I'll do my best!" "Heh heh! If it's just the lack of security, then the White Team can't be beaten!" "I don't mean to sound like an outlaw Blue Team member, but... is that something to be proud of?" | 「いろはと戦うことになるなんて…でも、やるからには負けないわ」
「私も手加減しません!赤組代表として全力を出します!」 「ふっふーん!治安の悪さだけなら白組も負けないよ!」 「アウトローの青組が言うのもなんだけど…それは誇るとこなのぉ?」 |
