When the Hero meets the leader of the [[Resistance]] and she is revealed to be the [[Heroine (Shin Megami Tensei)|Heroine]], Yuriko kidnaps her in the middle of their conversation. Afterwards, Yuriko holds a public trial for the Heroine in the audience of demons and [[Gotou]]'s [[JSDF]] soldiers. She charges the Heroine with attempting to sabotage Gotou's forces as the Resistance leader, which although Gotou forgives, her crimes cannot be forgotten. As such, Yuriko sentences the Heroine to death. But before she can begin the execution, Yuriko notices the Hero and dismisses him, telling him she would have left the Heroine alone had he chosen her instead. She then summons demons to fight the party. | When the Hero meets the leader of the [[Resistance]] and she is revealed to be the [[Heroine (Shin Megami Tensei)|Heroine]], Yuriko kidnaps her in the middle of their conversation.

{{ | Lady Yuriko is the elusive leader of the [[Ring of Gaea]]. She teaches a philosophy emphasizing strength through natural selection while encouraging her followers to release their suppressed emotions and to actively seek out their desires. She is a rival to [[Ashura-kai]] and has been competing with them for control of the [[Yamato Perpetual Reactor]] within [[Camp Ichigaya (Shin Megami Tensei IV)|Camp Ichigaya]]. For that reason, [[Tayama]], the Ashura-kai's leader, wants her eliminated and forcibly coerces [[Flynn]]'s party into assassinating her by taking a fellow [[Samurai]] hostage. | ||
The Samurai enter [[Ginza (Shin Megami Tensei IV)|Ginza]], the stronghold of the Ring of Gaea, to locate Yuriko; either on the false pretense of joining the Ring or by honestly stating their true intentions. Regardless of their answer, the Gaeans are impressed by their strength and state that Yuriko can be found in [[Tsukiji Hongwanji]], the Ring of Gaea's temple of worship. The Samurai are made to pass a trial in order to enter the temple's inner sanctum. However upon their arrival, their plot to kill Yuriko is uncovered and the Gaeans trap them in the [[Passage of Ethics]] in an effort to protect her. Despite this, the Samurai are told that Yuriko has permitted them an audience and that they are to move through the passage to see her, while confronting scenarios along the way that threaten to divide the party. | |||
The party meet Yuriko at the end of the Passage of Ethics and learn her [[Lilith|true identity]]. | |||

Yuriko is mentioned to have been killed by Flynn sometime prior, weakening the Ring of Gaea's influence. When [[Maitreya]] of the [[Divine Powers]] seizes Tsukiji Konganji, the Ring of Gaea are divided between those who remain loyal to Yuriko and those who have defected to Maitreya. The loyalists become known as the Yuriko-faction and resent both Flynn and the defectors for damaging the Ring. [[Mii and Kei|Ladies Mii and Kei]] lead the Yuriko-faction as Yuriko's successors. | |||
