Yuzu Tanikawa is a character from Devil Survivor.

Appearances[]

Design[]

Yuzu has shoulder-length auburn hair with a floral bandana keeping it back and brown eyes.

She wears a blue and white striped bra with a backless pink shirt with pink strings on the back and front and long pink strings on the bottom, a blue mini skirt, black thigh high socks and pink sandals.

Personality[]

Yuzu has a bubbly personality but can sometimes be uncertain about herself and her power at first. Out of all the characters, Yuzu is the most emotionally affected by the situation within the lockdown, more than often wondering why such terrible things happened to her while wishing to run away from it all, and only able to endure thanks to the support of the protagonist and Atsuro. It is also implied that she does not believe in God and thinks it's all the angels' fault. She is also caring and protective of her friends but can be an enemy if the player chooses to rule over the world.

She has romantic feelings for the protagonist, showing clear irritation whenever other female characters are being close to him, and also acts embarrassed whenever Atsuro teases her about liking the protagonist, or if the protagonist chooses an answer implying romantic feelings towards her.

Profile[]

Devil Survivor[]

Yuzu Tanikawa appears as one of the protagonist's best friends and one of his initial party members after the demon outbreak, along with Atsuro. She shows certain signs of affection for the main character and tries to be cheerful most of the time; although as the lockdown continues, the attrition damage gets to her and she becomes emotionally drained. Before the outbreak she lived with her mother as an only child, her parents got divorced a year earlier but her mom is still miserable and their relationship became strained.

Early Bad Ending[]

Yuzu helps the protagonist to break out of the Yamanote Circle on the 6th day when they see Honda attempting to breach the blockade with another demon tamer. After escaping, a lightning bolt strikes the Yamanote Circle, killing everyone left in the lockdown. Angels then descend from heaven, stripping mankind of their free will. Unlike the other endings, this is considered a game over and does not lead to a Cleared game save.

Desperate Escape[]

On Desperate Escape Route in the game is the Break the Blockade route, in which the protagonist defeats Remiel and the military and breaks through along with Atsuro and Honda (and optionally, Midori and Keisuke); However this is a bad ending since thanks to this and a chain of events, the demon outbreak spreads throughout all of Japan, leaving Earth's future uncertain.

If the protagonist follows the King of Demons Route, she will leave the party permanently.

Man's Decision[]

After escaping the lockdown, they find SDF vans near her house, and upon calling her mother learns she's being taken into custody. With the group branded as terrorists, Yuzu and the others return to the lockdown to evade capture and clean up the demons.

The King's Decision[]

Yuzu's role varies based on the protagonist's decision. If they choose to kill people, she will not rejoin the party, instead she and Midori join Metatron to attempt to defeat the protagonist in the final battle.

If the protagonist decides not to kill anyone, she continually meets the protagonist in private, regretting leaving him before she, with the assistance of Izuna, saves the party from being lynched by a mob by revealing the truth of the lockdown. This causes a chain reaction in which everyone in the lockdown is aligning with the protagonist. She asks to rejoin the party. At the end of this route, she vows to wait for the protagonist after his descent into the demon world and war with god are concluded.

Hero Vs God[]

Yuzu aids the Messiah in bringing order to the Yamanote Line. She frequently expresses shock at the angels' more extreme method of judgment. Later, she tries to help convince Naoya to repent as per Okuninushi's ultimatum, noting how he ultimately left the final choice to the protagonist.

Stats[]

Yuzu has high Magic and good Agility, in addition to low Strength and Vitality. This makes her extremely useful later on in the game after the party acquires more powerful magic spells. However, due to her movement range being about 3, Midori and Mari are often better alternatives once either is recruited. However, Yuzu is second to Atsuro in terms of availability, being playable on most routes and most days, making her the prime magic unit early-game and beyond. Yuzu's poor movement range can be compensated for by setting an Avian or Wilder demon onto her team.

Etymology[]

  • The name Yuzu means "citron, citrus fruit" (柚子).
    • In the Japanese version, Yuzu was called "Sodeko," literally "sleeve girl," by Atsuro due to the kanji "柚" (yu, "grapefruit") in her name, being similar in appearance to "袖" (sode, "sleeve"). Furthermore, the "ko" in "Sodeko" comes from the alternate, native pronunciation of the "子" (su, child) in "Yuzu." In the English version, this was replaced by Atsuro calling her "Yoohoo," a somewhat mispronunciation of Yuzu, which rhymes with her name.
  • Yuzu's surname Tanikawa means "valley" (谷) (tani) and "river, stream" (川) (kawa).

Trivia[]

  • Yuzu appears to be an atheist. During a conversation with Shoji in Kanda (4th Day), she reveals she does not believe in God and has never been a religious person at all, and actually believes angels are the reason behind the demon outbreak and the Tokyo Lockdown.
  • Yuzu's outfit was available to female avatars in a collaboration event in Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE shortly after Devil Survivor's Japanese release. To obtain it, players needed to collect demon cards.
