Juri Han (Korean/Hangul: 한주리, Han Ju-li/Japanese: ハン・ジュリ, Han Juri) is a character in the Street Fighter video game series, being a thrill-seeking S.I.N. operative striving for revenge against M. Bison.
Debuting in Super Street Fighter IV as a destructive antagonist, she is the first Korean character of the series.
She is voiced by Eri Kitamura in the Japanese version, and by Jessica Straus in the English version.
History[]
Backstory[]
Born and raised in South Korea, Juri showed prowess for Taekwondo to the point of being named the legitimate practitioner of Taekwondo at age 15.
Her father was a lawyer prosecuting powerful criminal organizations, and was after Shadaloo. In retaliation, M. Bison had the family's car attacked by a Shadaloo death squad. During the ordeal, Juri's parents were killed and Juri lost her left eye to a stray bullet. After the incident, she swore revenge on Bison and has vowed to "eat him up, bones and all".
Street Fighter V[]
During the events of Street Fighter V, Juri Han has changed her ways and is now a heroine. After saving Cammy and Chun-Li from Shadaloo's clutches and freeing the Dolls from Bison's brainwashing, she reunites with Guile and helps him and Ryu put an end to M. Bison once and for all.
Street Fighter 6[]
Juri, like the rest of the game's cast, serves as one of the masters for the avatar.
Project X Zone[]
Juri also appears in Project X Zone, acting as a boss and later a support character for any of the playable characters.
In the game, she (somewhat begrudgingly) allies herself with the other heroes, including her former rival Chun-Li, to save the multiverse from a mysterious organization known as 'Oros Phlox' (consisting of Meden Traore, Due Flabellum and the Belanos Brothers), while also seeking to take revenge on Seth.
Project X Zone 2[]
After the death of Seth in the previous game, Juri join forces with M. Bison and helps him with his goal to access the various universes and become immortal, however, she abandons him near the end of the game and mocks him without him near her.
This time, she does not team up with the heroes.
Personality[]
Powerful and competent, Juri Han is defined by her appetite for destruction. At first, she was willing to get vengeance against Bison by any means, but has now gained some form of honor.
In fact, even in the Super Street Fighter IV OVA, Juri was more of a neutral-aligned character, vowing to bring down M. Bison and Shadaloo for murdering her parents and destroying her left eye. After the events of Street Fighter V, she is more of a heroine than the anti-villainess she was in previous entries.
