YunaJuri

YunaJuri is the femslash ship between Yuna Kureha and Juri Ooba from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica fandom.

Canon
Yuna and Juri are the leaders of the biggest rivaling Magical Girl gangs in Futatsugi City, Torayamachi and Ryuugasaki, and later become the Eldest, and Second Sisters of the Promised Blood organisation. Yuna is a kind and relatively calm; albeity schemy Magical Girl, only wishing to make the magical girls in her city happy, while Juri is a rude and easily agitated brute forcer, viewing the Magical Girl world as a place where she can relieve stress through fighting other Magical Girls.

Although shown to have an immediate hostile relationship upon first meeting, due to differing ideals and Juri's general hostility, things very quickly become much warmer between them, when Yuna agrees to help Juri take care of her "sickness" by becoming her rival. Yuna and Juri are shown to consistently show affection for each other even through Juri's later betrayal, and being on the opposite side of a war. During Crimson Resolve, Juri shows a desire to fight Yuna to the death, in revenge for her previous defeat to Yuna, believing this to be the only way to satisfy her urges, but despite this she still shows Yuna verbal, and physical affection in thanks for taking care of her urges, and the ways in which Yuna trick her seem to cut deeper than anything else. Yuna is shown to be hostile towards Juri during this period of time, but still slips back into her care for her, showing genuine remorse for the pain she's caused Juri; offering to fight her one-on-one in exchange for her not involving their gangs, sparing her during a fight, and making it clear that she'll always welcome her back into her group with open arms. After their final duel at the end of Crimson Resolve, in which Juri becomes Yuna's belonging, Juri is shown to be willing to do anything she asks, and despite all of the hurt Juri has caused Yuna through her selfishness, Yuna still seems happy to return to their previously held closeness.

In Arc 2 Main Story Chapter 10, in a last ditch effort to save Ao after her kimochi has eroded her, Yuna and Juri connect to her soul, through their own Kimochi in order to internally fix the damage. Unfortunetly the damage is far too deep to be easily fixed by symply prying the Kimochi off of her, and so Yuna comes up with the plan to have her and Juri raise Ao as their daughter from when she was a baby until the current time, in order to retrain her brain to feel fear. During this time Yuna and Juri live together, and raise Ao as her moms, Ao even refers to them as Mom (Okaasan) and Mama respectively. Yuna and Juri happily live together with Ao for 14 years, and are shown to be happy to have been able to work in tandem for so long.

In Arc 2 Another Story Chapter 11, Yuna reveals to Kagome that Juri's previous stress outbursts are completely gone, and theorizes that it was the time they spent as a family that was what helped her to heal so much. She goes on to say that the way Juri was able to so drastically change and heal, gives herself hope for her own future.

Quotes
Yuna - "Enough about the Witches. You're really just after me, aren't you? If we can avoid getting the others involved, I don't mind fighting you here and now."

Juri - "That's a temptin' offer, but backin' down now would make me look bad in front of Ryuugasaki. I knew you'd refuse to fight me unless I took things this far. So I did everything I had to, which included draggin' all the other Magical Girls into this."

Yuna - "How could you go to such lengths just to fight me...?"

Juri - "It's in my nature. You know that, don't ya? I've been a troublemaker since I was a kid. I won't hesitate to fight if I don't like somethin'. The longer I have to hold back, the more I'll explode in the end. It's caused a lot of trouble for my old man."

Yuna - "That's why I've always taken care of your urges."

Juri - "I really do appreciate it. You're the only one who can handle Juri-sama's flames. But my loss to you has been burnin' inside of me... and tonight, I can finally release the urges I've been holdin' onto for an entire year."

Yuna - "I suppose I have no choice but to embrace your frustration... Very well, then... No complaints, no matter which side loses. I'll bring an end to those pent-up feelings."

Juri - "..."

*Juri hugs Yuna*

Juri - "Thanks, Nee-san, for accepting my 'sickness'."

*Juri lets go of the embrace*

Juri- "Don't forget the warmth of this life, okay...?"

Yuna - "I won't..."

Juri - "The next time we meet, I'll burn you down."

Yuna - "This tiger is going to devour you, dragon." -Crimson Resolve, Everyone 1.

Yuna - "There's no way you can win at this point, Juri. You need time and magic to recover. You don't want to waste them both like this."

*Juri starts crying*

Juri - "You've gotta be fuckin' kidding me...!! You PROMISED, Yuna! You promised- you'd accept...! Juri-sama...!!"

Yuna - "I do not live my life for the sake of your revenge. I honestly wish that I could accept your feelings. Alas, I cannot endanger the people I lead for that."

Juri - "B-but... You were *Sniff* usin' Janomiya from the start... in order to- m-make this mess happen, w-weren't you...?!"

Yuna - "...Yes."

Juri - "AAaaaAAAH!"

Yuna - "..."

*Ranka runs over to Juri*

Ranka - "Juri, you need to calm down."

Juri - "*Hic*..."

Ranka - "Here, get on my back..."

Juri - "*Sniffle* *Sob*"

Yuna - "Juri..."

Juri - "..."

Yuna - "Torayamachi will always have a door open for you."

Juri - "Close it a-an'- keep it closed... Juri-sama's gonna break it down and drag you out..."

Yuna - "Don't let your grudge overtake you and turn you into a Witch, okay?"

Juri - "I won't let myself turn before I can defeat you... That's- J-Juri-sama's...Hope..."

Yuna - "..." -Crimson Resolve, Everyone 6.

Ranka - "But what are you gonna do now? You might end up alone at this rate..."

Juri - "What am I supposed to do? Go back to workin' for Yuna? Not a chance. Juri-sama will never work under Yuna again. 'Cause she's the only one who can satisfy my urges." -Crimson Resolve, Juri 8.

Juri - "It's nice that you're finally ready to fight me, but I ain't interested if you're not fully recovered yet. So why don't we do this some other time?"

Yuna - "No, we do this now."

Juri - "Listen, even if it's you, I can't go all out against ya while you're wounded."

Yuna - "I wonder about that...?"

*Yuna begins emanating a red aura*

Juri - "What the..."

Yuna - "I did not come here to be defeated."

Juri - "You... Since when did you have such a clear intent to kill...?

Yuna - "I will go first."

Juri - "I guess you really are prepared."

Yuna - "Before we start, however, you have to promise me one thing."

Juri - "What, you want your girls back...?"

Yuna - "Juri... You're going to be mine.

*Juri starts blushing*

Juri - "Woah... I kinda got a chill from that. Sure, if you win, I'll be all yours."

Yuna - "You won't break that promise, will you?"

Juri - "I'm not that type." -Crimson Resolve, Yuna & Juri 5.

Juri - "Stop actin' batshit... This time, Juri-sama will put a stop to your bloodlust... Let this dragon consume you already...!"

*Yuna bites Juri's neck*

Juri - "Gah... Yuna...?"

*They start talking with telepathy*

Yuna - "I'm the one with her teeth in your neck, Juri... If you refuse to become mine, I'll bite your head off, like this."

Juri - "Are you fuckin' serious...?" -Crimson Resolve, Yuna and Juri 7.

Fanon
Due to their relationship hinging on Yuna satifisfying Juri's urges in exchange for her loyalty, as well as Juri's habit of sounding very passionate, and her streak of suggestive wording choices when it comes to their fighting, there is an inclination in fandom discussion to joke about their relationship sounding a lot more intimate than simple fighting.

Although previously having some popularity in the fandom, YunaJuri's popularity truly skyrocketed following the release of Arc 2 Chapter 10, due to their marriage like relationship shown in it. This caused a big influx in fanworks of them being portrayed as a family, as well as general ship art of them.
