Yuzu Roromori (路々森ユズ Roromori Yuzu) is a cheerful puzzle-and-maze-game streamer that enjoys teasing her teammates, especially Karin. She met Akatsuki online before and the two were planning to do a collaboration together before entering the game. Underneath her ditzy and sarcastic personality though, she harbours a genius-like intellect and an unhealthy obsession with Akatsuki.
Appearance[]
Roromori appears to be a young, fair-skinned female with a slim body type. She has long, wavy, white hair reaching to her knees and greenish-yellow determined eyes. She has a dark green gas mask that is usually strapped around her neck facing the back. She wears a white laboratory coat. A black, long-sleeved shirt, a white (with a black stripe) sailor-style collar with a cyan bow and a short, white (with a black stripe on the bottom) skirt, white tights and brown shoes this style represents a sailor fuku uniform.
Personality[]
Yuzu has a lively and bubbly personality. Greatly amused by tropical plants and puzzles, her sharp mind is extremely valuable during the games. Roromori is a natural inquirer and is regularly curious no matter the situation, giving off a positive aura, which disturbs the others. She also has a low, cooler vibe in certain circumstances, which she gives off in hopes of creating trouble and mischieve. Although she has rather harmless characteristics, she has a hidden yandere nature towards Akatsuki. Yuzu herself finds it completely normal to contain various pictures of Akatsuki, however, her obsessive love for him is not. Whenever Akatsuki is involved, the atmosphere transforms to be very serious, her words chosen carefully to express that Akatsuki is her's.

They met online in a stream chat and started chatting. When Kaikoku introduced himself, Yuzu looked at him, she was interested in his personality. After everyone has introduced themselves, Paka informs them about the second stage which is called Oujia Board Exchange where everyone has to pull a straw and whoever gets one must participate in the second stage. She doesn't get a Paka straw which means she won't participate in the second stage.
Episode 2 (Stage 3)[]
Yuzu was summoned with the others outside so that Paka can explain to them the second stage. Whilst everyone seems quite miserable about having to go along with this, Yuzu and Aki are excited once they see the giant egg. The next stage is revealed by Paka to be a nurturing game where they must hatch a girl from the egg and make the school idol Hikaru Genju fall in love with her and he says how there is no limit to how many people can take part but it must be a minimum of four. Anya looks to Himiko saying how she's the obvious choice to put on the team. She then hides behind Aki. Anya notices some sort of fluffball on Aki's head and he hits it off, it turns out to be a 'Pacamera'. The people involved with this stage are Iride, Himiko, Anya, and Makino.
Yuzu scares Karin
While the 4 are doing the second stage Yuzu approaches Karin asking her to go with her to the tower's hot springs with her so they can have a talk. They went and settled in the hot springs and started to chat. Suddenly, Yuzu gets closer to Karin stating that she is interested in her which led to Karin backing up and feeling scared. Then Yuzu says to Karin that she never said she was a female and Karin got confused saying that she has a bigger breast than hers when Yuzu said she was joking and stating that the Pacameras also raises the views not only from stages.

This was meant to be a disguise for them to be allowed into the school. Then encounter Hikaru in the hallway with girls. Murasaki wanted to bake him something so he would love it. All of them went to the cooking class and decide to bake cookies for Hikaru eventually, Makino and Iride are considered to be in the way and are kicked out by the girls. They instead decide to spy on the idol. Moments, before they finish the third stage everyone, eats a cookie that Murasaki has made and suddenly she starts to disappear.
Episode 3 (Stage 4)[]
Yuzu and the others were in the lobby when Kaikoku showed up with Zakuro. Kaikoku told them that when they were busy with the 3rd stage, he and Zakuro have intruded floor 51 which was prohibited for all of them. While they were reporting what has happened, they were attacked by a Plant Monster. It caught Zakuro's leg. Paka then opened the speaker and said that since they have broken into floor 51, stage 4 will become an S-level stage, called "Exterminate the Mimicry Man-Eaters". Kaikoku then saves Zakuro but was going to hit Anya as well, they started arguing when Himiko threw a flashbang onto the monster causing it to fall down and separating the group. Iride and Anya were separated from the rest, Yuzu tells them to meet them in the food storage in the basement.

At the basement, Anya was sleeping due to not having enough rest as stated by Yuzu. Iride explains to everyone what they have encountered which was a Mimicry Man-Eater disguised as Karin. It pisses off Karin knowing that it got close to Iride. Yuzu then says to Kaikoku to accompany her to her room as her bodyguard and gives a task to Iride and Zakuro to bring the withered Mimicry Man-Eater to her. At Yuzu's room, she has found what she wanted, a bag containing poison. Kaikoku asks where she got them and she replied with it's her hobby. She stood up and a photo falls from her, Kaikoku picks the photo and tells her you dropped it, but when he saw forward he was shocked with what he saw. He saw Yuzu's closet full of pictures about Iride and she tells him to keep it a secret from Iride.
Yuzu's Poison
After Yuzu has made her investigation on the Mimicry Man-Eater that Zakuro and Iride brought, she tells everyone that at sunset all of them are going to eradicate the Mimicry Man-Eaters. She displays her box of poison she has brought from her room explaining to everyone that it will be divided by all of them. Zakuro asks Yuzu from where did she get all this poison. She affirms that she keeps it as self-defense against bullying and perverts, she adds to it that Himiko is doing the same thing as well. Suddenly the speaker started revealing Paka's voice, he tells them it's been a week since they have been in this world and they have passed 5 million views, which is first in the game's history. He feels honored as being responsible for the 13th district. After he was done with his announcement, Yuzu starts to begin her operation. She says Iride, Zakuro, Anya, and Kaikoku to inject the poison on the core of the ivy. She tasks Karin to help her, Himiko to cook, and Makino on sleeping duty. Yuzu adds they need a password to know if they aren't fake. The password was whenever someone says Karin the other replies with pudding, leaving Karin confused. The four eating Himiko's pudding and they had 10 seconds for their operation to begin and off they go.

After the four of them finished their task and came back, everyone went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Yuzu went into the boys' bathroom spotting Iride. Iride asks her what she is doing in the boys' bathroom, she smiles mischievously and takes a hammer and breaks the mirror in front of Iride. She studied Iride's movements and make a conclusion, she said that Iride protects himself using his left hand but right now he used his right hand and at that moment she knew it was an imposter. The imposter denies it but Yuzu stated that she dedicated her life observing Iride which she knows that this is an imposter. The imposter laughed and Yuzu stabbed using the poison killing it and receiving "Chromosome 3".
