honestly, he is the most interesting of protagonists. In jrpgs, protagonists tend to be more like Flynn, but Yuri being a bit of a complicated mess kinda makes him feel more human, and i think all of us can really connect with him, especially how he doesn't see things as black and white. oh, and he's got a sense of humor, so that helps.

Yuri was such a great character. I loved his and Estelle’s relationship in that they had a deep connection, but it clearly wasn’t romantic in nature. In many ways, he was more like a mentor to her, similarly with how he was with Karol, though far more subtle.

[@theazureknight9399]

I feel like Yuri is the type of person that's simply not into romance with anyone. I mean, there's the occasional flirt with Judith, especially when they're alone together, but it never really goes anywhere. I can picture him a few decades older as a lone wanderer type of guy. Going around the world doing jobs for brave vesperia and dishing out punishment to evildoers who are beyond the scope of the law.
