The novel was also adapted as an Italian language television series in 2015, Il Paradiso delle Signore, which has run for several seasons and stars Giuseppe Zeno and Giusy Buscemi. Yuzuriha is very fond of Sagiri and is more friendly towards her than any of her other allies of the vanguard. She was already on good terms with Sagiri ever since she allied with Gabimaru and started calling her "Sagi-rin" (さぎりん) — "-rin" being a much friendly and "cuter" way of using the honorific "-chan" (which is usually used by teenage girls). She was grateful to Sagiri for being concern for her well-being after she demanded Mu Dan to free her from his clutches, despite the fact that she was prepared to leave her behind after sensing how dangerous the Tensen was, and wanted to make sure that she could escape enemy territory along with her. After fighting together to defeat Mu Dan, the two have gotten very close, which shows on Yuzuriha's part as she would often try to invade Sagiri's personal space. Sagiri in turn views Yuzuriha as an ally she has come to trust and respect and was happy to see her alive after her life-threatening battle against Ran.

But, at the same time, he’s been built up to be this notable character because Garrett’s screw-up allowed Cortes to flourish. So the first time we properly get to meet him being the last time we get to see him is disappointing. Especially since it could mean more Garrett now with Maya free from Cortes.

Despite introducing us to a formidable antagonist, the CEO of the evil AEON corporation, who's capable of eliminating innocent lives for her own profits and interest, we don't get to know much about her either, and the whole characterisation falls flat. Neither does her character design present her as a grey shadowed presence, nor does it do much to make the viewer hate her. Both tried to stop a love one from committing atrocities but ended up having to leave their former life behind to live out another. To see that her journey goes smoothly, Yuzuriha opted to form alliances with a few of the criminals but with the intentions of using them for her own benefit. After events involving Lord Tensen led up to the surviving criminals and executioners meeting up in Hōrai, Yuzuriha realized that the only way she and the others could all leave the island alive is through cooperation. Upon their alliance, Yuzuriha shared her knowledge of how Tao works, and when the time came to raid Hōrai, she contributed in the life risking battles and cooperate well with the others. Ninpō: Shi no Chō ( 忍 ( にん ) 法 ( ぽう ) 死 ( しの ) 蝶 ( ちょう ) , Literal meaning: Ninja Art: Death Butterfly): Yuzuriha manipulates her body fluid to form it into the shape of a butterfly. This is called Ninpo: Butterfly Fatale in the Viz Manga.Gabimaru asks the Dōshi why they wanted Mei. The Dōshi explains that she is a part of their training in Bōchū Jutsu where they preform sexual congress and join their Yang with her Yin, which causes her to become frighten. She continues to tremble as he explains to them her past of being banished from the palace, being scarred by Rien and given the option of dying or being part of the Dōshi's training. Hearing enough of what they had to say, Gabimaru and Gantetsusai stand behind Mei to defend her from the transformed Dōshi's. Construction starts on expanding the Ladies Paradise onto the Rue du Dix-Decembre. Despite his dreams being realized, Mouret feels that his power and money are meaningless since he can’t have Denise. Bourdoncle—who is worried that Denise is “the revenge” he has been warning Mouret about—tells Mouret that Denise has been having relations with Deloche. Furious with jealousy, Mouret again confesses his love to Denise. She rejects him again but assures him that she has no lovers. After this, Denise becomes buyer of a new department for children and uses her position to make changes to the Ladies’ Paradise: she opens a school for employees and a maternity ward for the pregnant salesgirls like Pauline, who has since married Baugé. Yuzuriha's primary weapons are kunai, which she is capable of throwing with excellent precision. On her waist, Yuzuriha carries around bamboo bottles of tonic for her ninjutsu that adds certain properties to it, such as poison, and a salve to help heal wounds. She also carried around a wakizashi but later discarded it after she changed her attire.

The group then relocates to a cave to escape from Lord Tensen's sensory field. Mei body becomes ill and Sagiri asks Fuchi to help make a medicine for her. Fuchi agrees but demands that Mei tells him everything they need to know. Mei relays the information to Fuchi, translating that a Hōshi came to the island in search of ways to achieve immortality, resulting in the creation of the monsters and Lord Tensen who have been practicing the inner and outer way of Tao for 1,000 years. After Yuzuriha hears that a prototype elixir known as Tan has been created by Lord Tensen, she asks why they were going so far in their research. Mei answers that it is possible that they are following the will of Jofuku, the Hōshi that created Lord Tensen. This shows that the Nurse wants the best for Juliet - she really cares for her and wants her to be happy. Therefore, she tries to be optimistic. As a Tensen, Mei is able to enter into a Kishikai state.
