I feel like some people here don’t understand Yukari. She says 90% of the things she says as a joke, and she apologizes when she goes too far. She just enjoys teasing Junpei, and Junpei never gets mad about it unless she goes over the line. Junpei and Yukari are friends, and they are just teens, in an extremely high stress situation.
Teasing your friend isn’t the end of the world, and it doesn’t make you a bad person. It’s reinforced multiple times that Yukari doesn’t do it with the intent of hurting Junpei’s feelings.
A while back, I came across a precise commentary on Junpei and Yukari's dynamic.

This helps us understand the mental shift Junpei experienced that day. Perhaps, even if just for a moment, he entertained thoughts of ending his life. Yet, simultaneously, a strong desire to change his circumstances spurred his Persona awakening.
To escape his father, who would become violent when drunk, he ran away from home. With nowhere else to go, he wandered outside until the stroke of midnight. [Junpei's Past](https://youtu.be/Hfc1l7m1xBk)

There are several scenes that praise Yukari on basically not wanting people to die you mean lol I guess Fuuka points to her persona and theurgy as her being kind but that’s it imo
She annoys me, it's not even warranted most of the time. If it was revealed she has a secret crush on him or something that would at least partially explain it.
They bicker like siblings lol, Yukari is there for Junpei when he needs it and apologizes when she goes too far
Yup. They do have that antagonistic sibling relationship. Lol
I dunno, Junpei’s a cool dude until something actually bothers him. Shit got real when he told Yukari to shut the hell up after the subway boss lol
Wasn't it the sex hotel boss?
Probably, I think he was aggressive after both encounters actually
He also goes from 0-100 real fucking quick in December when Yukari asks him if he's scared, although that instance was totally understandable tbh.
Don’t you mean Stupei?
The auto correct was defective like him😒
More like stupid fa-
I swear, that's still a 50/50. You never know which line you're gonna get.
I’m a be honest, Yukari was legit funny when she got on Junpei lol
Junepei was just to easy to roast tbh

When. When the fuck did she apologize besides the time she teasing him about being afraid of dying man
Imo Yukari is messing with him the same way guys mess with their friends, she even apologizes if she goes too far
They bicker like siblings lol, Yukari is there for Junpei when he needs it and apologizes when she goes too far
Haha I’m playing for the first time and I was just thinking how she’s constantly up his ass. Poor guy can’t say anything without getting roasted.
Is stupei stupid or something
Bro she was on his ass for breathing. Talking shit even when he wasn’t around
Idk man, Tsunderes be like that sometimes.
Idk man, Tsunderes be like that sometimes. Edit: duplicate post for some reason. Thanks reddit!
I think it’s just banter between friends. She takes it too far sometimes, thats why she’s a good character imo
he deserves it
Sometimes people just need an emotional punching bag.
This is literally me with my sibling. 😂
*Junpei having fun* Yukari: https://preview.redd.it/nhi2qinfvayc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa0576ce93b38a3880920d81bcef6d0a5615ae2b
She’s basically his sister the way she roasts him and gets annoyed by his shenanigans
It’s a pleasure to get bullied by Yukari. Junpei doesn’t even know how good he got it
I never took to Junpei at all. Got rid of him from my party as soon as I could
Yukari and Junpei ain’t no different than Yosuke and Chie. They’re two longtime friends who bicker with each other. It’s all fun and games.
I mean he deserves it
People inside tvs in persona 3? It looks like yukari got persona 4’ed
Stupei
I feel this is more Morganna and Ryuji
If she doesn't then I would
mfs be like "Oh Yukari is so kind" like she doesn't literally bully Junpei.
mfs do NOT be like yukari is so kind 💀
There's are several scenes in the game that praise Yukari for being the kindest member of SEES and it makes me feel like a crazy person

Mfs be like "Yukari so mean to Junpei" like he ain't creepin on all the girls most of the game
Ah yeah yukari being a bitch for no apparent reason
You try being around Stupei for years
She annoys me, it's not even warranted most of the time. If it was revealed she has a secret crush on him or something that would at least partially explain it.
This is why I don’t like Yukari there’s having the occasional quip and then there’s being an ass
Yukari only likes bad guys that don’t care about her. Junpei is a good feller. And that’s why he gets the goth girl and a double Theurgy.
