JURI

Juri takes over much of the in-ring officiating during the later Dark Tournament and quickly discovers that standing next to supernatural martial artists is an awful career choice. A fish-like demon with enough professionalism to keep counting while arenas explode around her, Juri spends much of her screen time dodging attacks, being ignored by fighters and trying to enforce rules that the tournament organizers themselves barely respect. That exasperation is what makes her memorable. She is less bloodthirsty than much of the audience and increasingly horrified by how violent the matches become. Juri never becomes part of Team Urameshi's inner circle, but she is a familiar face throughout the tournament and later appears in Demon World again. Along with Koto, she gives the battles a sense of continuity beyond whichever fighters happen to be in the ring.
