~ Yuki Yoshida to Nicole. |
Yuki Yoshida (吉田由紀 Yoshida Yuki) is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is Masami's mother, Mr. Yoshida's wife, and Nicole's childhood friend and former arch-nemesis. She is the main antagonist in the episode "The Fury."
She is voiced by Naoko Mori.
Appearance[]
Yuki appears as a tall, cloud-like humanoid with a slender figure. Her face is marked by simple oval-shaped eyes and a small mouth adorned with red lipstick. Flowing, curly white cloudy hair cascades from her head.
Her outfit includes a sleek black suit, featuring a fitted blazer and matching trousers, paired with high-heeled shoes and gold earrings.
Personality[]
Yuki is highly prideful, fiercely competitive, and often harsh, especially in her interactions with her former friend and rival, Nicole Watterson. After a crushing defeat in their final match, Yuki became fixated on restoring her honor, driven by a desire for revenge at any cost. She underwent intense training, quickly becoming a formidable and ambitious opponent. Determined to destroy Nicole’s life, Yuki goes to great lengths—flirting with Richard, taunting her at work, taking over her workplace, and even sabotaging Nicole’s car—to provoke her into a showdown. Despite her vengeful nature, Yuki typically presents herself with grace, sophistication, and confidence.
During their climactic fight, Yuki rejects Nicole’s offer of reconciliation, viewing it as condescending and refusing to accept what she perceives as pity. However, when their battle puts their children in danger, both women set aside their differences to protect them. This moment prompts Yuki to reflect, leading her to genuinely apologize for her jealousy and shower Nicole with compliments. In the end, the two reconcile, with Yuki returning to the supportive and friendly demeanor she likely had in her earlier years as a prodigy.
Biography[]
When they were young, Yuki and Nicole Watterson shared a close bond, training together in martial arts under the guidance of Yuki's father. Their skills quickly developed, and they often competed side by side in tournaments. But their friendship took a turn when they faced each other in the final match of their last competition. Yuki lost and, feeling humiliated in front of her sensei, returned to Japan, vowing to train harder and one day defeat Nicole to reclaim her honor. Meanwhile, Nicole, saddened by the loss of her friend, quit martial arts entirely.
Years later, Yuki tracks down Nicole outside Elmore Jr. High, demanding a rematch. Nicole refuses, wanting to leave their past behind. That evening, after picking up her children, Nicole discovers her car vandalized with the word "COWARD" spray-painted across it. Trying to brush it off, she takes her family shopping, only to be harassed further by Yuki, who even flirts with Nicole's husband, Richard. Despite the provocations, Nicole refuses to engage. The next day, at the Rainbow Factory, Yuki continues her campaign of harassment—taking over Nicole’s workspace, ruining her lunch, and interrupting her breaks. As Yuki’s actions escalate, threatening both Nicole’s job and home life, Nicole finally reaches her limit and agrees to fight.
The showdown happens at the school gym, where Nicole and Yuki engage in an intense, anime-style battle as their children watch from the sidelines. Just when it seems Nicole has won, she offers Yuki a chance at reconciliation. However, Yuki, unable to accept the offer and seeing it as condescension, makes a desperate final attack, triggering the roof to collapse and trapping their children beneath the debris. Putting aside their rivalry, the two mothers work together to free their kids. After the ordeal, Yuki admits her jealousy has fueled her actions and apologizes sincerely. Nicole forgives her, and the two embrace, realizing how much they’ve missed each other. They part ways on better terms, with their children by their sides.
