Yua Shishiba (神々廻 有愛) is one of the major characters in the spin-off series Kakegurui Twin. She is a third year student in middle school at Hyakkaou Private Academy, who participates in high school's classes as a trial student. Yua is also the younger sister of the former Full-Bloom leader, and treasurer of the Student Council, Aoi Mibuomi.
Appearance[]
Yua has very long dark brown hair, that reaches almost her ankles, with shorter bangs. Her eyes are light blue and downturned, along with short eyebrows. Yua wears the standard female middle school uniform: a long-sleeved white blouse with a black blazer, and a skirt. She also wears white knee socks.
Personality[]
At first, Yua appeared to be polite, gentle, and cheerful, seemingly due to being able to finally see 'the famous' Mary Saotome in person and being able to join the Literary Club. However, this was just a mask that was used as another step in her plan to get revenge on her older brother, who was disgraced by the Literacy Club. She successfully used her charm to get closer to both Tsuzura, and Yukimi, except for Mary who was able to call her out. Yua also very clever and cunning despite her age and innocent appearance, being able to fool most people about her lack of relationship with Mikoto and Shougou, and used her skills to manipulate Literacy Club's loss behind the scenes.
Similarly to Ouri Shimotsukiuri, Yua is deeply affectionate with Aoi, seeing him as a true savior who just wanted to save students from the tyrannical student council. Her older brother is the driving force of her determination, and confidence, as she wants to risk it all against both Sachiko Juraku and Kirari Momobami, despite their reputation. At certain times, Yua can be quite arrogant in gambling, as she thought about Mary as not being worthy of her time any longer, despite losing only one match.
Profile[]
Back in middle school, Shougou was getting bullied because of a cheater he exposed. Mikoto stepped in to help Shougou. She wanted to fight the bullies for revenge, but Shougou explained it was pointless. Yua then walked up to them. She suggested they become friends and take revenge together.
As a third-year student in middle school at Hyakkaou Private Academy, she participates in high school classes as a trial student. She quickly comes to the Literary Club's den. Yukimi allows her to join it. After Nadeshiko lost nine million yen to Shougou and Mikoto, Tsuzura challenges the two to a match with the same stakes. Yua and the rest of the club watch the game. It's Blackjack, opposing Tsuzura to the other two middle schoolers. During the game, Mikoto slips up and gives away that Shougou is cheating. After narrowing down the possibilities, Mary concludes that Yua has something to do with the cheating. Yua cries and asks that they don't take the nine million yen back. Mary refuses. Yua thus feels no remorse for her scheme. While the deck Yua shuffled did follow the Si Stebbins stack, as Mary pointed out; Yua had anticipated it and had switched up two cards in advance. Pointing out the wrong way of cheating, Mary's accusation is rejected by Kaede. The verdict is the middle schoolers' win. Yua becomes the Literary Club president. She admits to Yukimi that she's targeted them because they're in part responsible for destroying Aoi, her brother.
During a conversation with Mikoto and Shougou after earning the club, Yua reminds them that this is just part of what she wants to accomplish here. She's seeking revenge against Sachiko and Kirari too. In the next few days, Mikoto and Shougou try to maximize the money they can bring to Yua.
Mary and the former Literary Club members ambush Mikoto and Shougou, making them lose millions in Dice Poker. Yet, Yua still avoids Mary. Her sight is set on Sachiko for now. Yua gets hold of a housepet tag and forces Sachiko into a public match. Mikura, on behalf of Mary, also challenges Sachiko. Yua is thus on a three-way match, the Feudalism Game, against Mary and Sachiko. Sachiko maintains a lead, but Yua hangs in second place for long. Due to Sachiko's successful decisions, Yua believes she's cheating. She looks for how she could've cheated. Odds are drastically increased and Mary wins a round, turning the situation upside down. Yua finds herself in last place, one lost round away from losing the game. She's still convinced that Sachiko is cheating and publicly accuses her. Mary responds that Yua is just easy to read.
Mary makes a move that forces herself to end in second place but effectively makes Yua lose by earning third place. Yua owes Sachiko 120 million yen. She's mentally broken. Tsuzura, wanting to follow her vision of what a winner is, challenges Sachiko on Yua's behalf. Yukimi, Shougou, Mikoto, Mary, and Mikura join Tsuzura in the wager. They win the dice roll and Yua is thus free. Yua is shocked and rethinks of the events since she's visited high school.
In the final chapter, she's seen in a dojo with Shougou, Mikoto, and Aoi.
