Luna Yumizuki

Luna Yumizuki (弓月ルーナ Yumizuki Rūna) is a character introduced in the second season of Cardfight!! Vanguard G, Cardfight!! Vanguard G: GIRS Crisis. Along with Am Chouno, she is part of an idol unit known as RUMMY LABYRINTH. She later on forms a team with Am Chouno and Saya Yatomi called "RUMMY LABYRINTH with Saya" to fight in the U20.

Appearance[]

Luna has shoulder-length pink hair, styled in the shape of a crescent moon, as well as yellow eyes. Her eyes are of a different design from other characters in the series, as her pupils are wider than the others.

As an idol, she wears a black and pink frilly dress, with a crescent moon theme, including a headpiece and choker.

While preparing for the Dragon Empire G Quest, she wore a pink and white jacket with pink shorts, as well as black leggings.

She wears a long sleeved maroon shirt with a grey skirt as casual wear. When disguising herself, she also adds a brown, wide brimmed hat and red glasses.

In Cardfight! Vanguard G:NEXT, she cuts her hair shorter while still maintaining its crescent moon aesthetic. Her idol outfit changes to a white dress with pink and black segments. Her eye designs are changed into the original, the same as the others.

Personality[]

Luna is extremely dedicated to her job as a pop idol. As the student in the professional relationship she has with Am, Luna tries her absolute best to follow Am's instructions. Sometimes she can be clumsy and forgetful, such as in GC Episode 1, wherein she gets so caught up in playing Vanguard that she loses track of time, despite having an appointment to practice with Am. She wishes to get closer to Am to become more than her work partner, which shows a dedication to her friends. Luna is somewhat awkward, especially when she's just getting to know people. When she meets Chrono, she addresses him very formally and stiffly, suggesting that she has pretty low social skills despite her job as an idol.

Etymology[]

Luna's surname Yumizuki means "archery bow" (弓) (yumi) and "moon" (月) (tsuki/zuki).
- Her family name, "弓月" comes from the word "弓張り月" (Yumiharizuki), which means "crescent moon." The last two syllables, "張り" (hari) could have been the inspiration for the Harri series of cards, which are her avatar cards. Her given name, "Luna" is a reference to the ancient Roman divine personification of the Moon, reflecting her status as Pale Moon user.

G Season 3[]

Luna appears in Episode 2, asking Satoru Enishi for permission to contact her friends, having gone a while without meeting them, but is refused under the pretence of being involved in a top secret project.

Luna reminisces about the past while looking at a past conversation with Tokoha and Kumi, denying having complaints about her work with the Company when caught by Am, who reveals the nature of their work to her. Luna then arranges a meet-up with Tokoha, wanting to seek her advice. They are interrupted by Am, who proceeds to reveal her motives for working with Ryuzu Myoujin, disregarding Luna as being unnecessary to the plan. Luna later volunteers to participate in unit summoning experiments alongside Am in order to lessen her burden.

Luna next appears at Dragon Empire Branch with Satoru Enishi and Am, appearing to have underwent a great personality change. She takes Chronobeat Buffalo from Am halfway through her fight with Ibuki and summons it, punching Ibuki into a statue of Dragonic Overlord and causing Mamoru Anjou to fall into a comatose state, as well as destroying the Dragon Empire Branch, only stopping when Satoru knocks her out.

It is revealed in the next episode that her zombified state is the direct result of attempting to awaken the Depend Cards in Am's place, and coming to lose her sense of self as a result. As the Peacemaker, Luna's sole goal was to awaken the Depend Cards, to Am's utter horror. Luna's true spirit came to be imprisoned with the Zodiac Time Beasts within the Stride Gate, unconscious and awaiting rescue. Meanwhile, she remained comatose in the real world with her mind completely shut down. According to Satoru, she will remain that way until Am can fulfill her wish and rescue her parents, which is the future that Luna herself desires.

When the time for the Final Judgement arrives, Luna is selected to do battle with Am. Luna's will emerges from her unconscious body, and begins to fight against Am. Her will refuses to allow anyone to interfere with the perfect future for Am's sake, even if the person is Am herself. After Am professes her desire to continue having fun with Luna, both as idols on stage and as friends, Luna momentarily snaps out of her trance and asks Am to help save her, so they can continue to be together. Eventually, Am wins and Luna reverts to normal and embraces a crying Am.

Two months after the Stride Gate incident, Luna accompanies Am to the hospital to visit her comatose parents. When Am states her resolve to make amends for her wrongdoings, Luna decides to share the burden, feeling that she made a mistake by not stopping Am from continuing to work with the Company. Luna then leaves with Am to attend a tournament held in Card Capital 2, where they also present the trophy.

Deck[]

G Season 2[]

Luna uses a Pale Moon deck, with Masked Magician, Harri as her ace.

Deck

During the Dark Zone Branch G Quest her deck is improved, focusing completely on the Magia ability. When fighting against Chrono, her strategy involved filling her rear-guard circles with Magia (which forces cards called with it to return to the soul at the end of the turn) so the effects of Gear Chronicle couldn't send them to the bottom of the deck.

Deck

G Season 3[]

Her deck changes during her fight with Am, focusing on the skills of Carnivorous Megatrick, Prana.

Deck

NEXT[]

Luna's deck changes in NEXT, focusing even more on cards with the Magia ability and her new ace Masked Phantom, Harri.
