Juri likely doesn’t care about the gender of the person she seeks, and her way of dealing with Seth in SFV also brings about the idea that she’s done with men, albeit in a very subtle way (moving Seth from a male to a female body). I’ve stated previously that Juri is seeking companionship for both business and pleasure, and her pursuit of Cammy is just one of the many ways she’s shown this. If the concept of Juri being part of a love story was and still is being considered throughout her development, then we can probably point to a specific event that affects Juri even more than the murder of her parents: someone breaking her heart, i.e. In an interview translated by a person going by the name of Jigsaw that was featured on Event Hubs, Super Street Fighter IV’s scenario designer, Emiko Kawasaki, states, “Originally, Juri was going to be a nice girl who happened to be with the bad guys, kind of like a tragic love story.” Moreso, this art appears to be a remnant of an idea that was scrapped during Juri’s development. While this art is non-canon, since we’re still dealing with how a character is presented within the world of Street Fighter, we can safely conclude that Juri enjoys the company of men. Basically, she’s posing for SOMEONE in-universe, most likely male and Japanese (since the game was produced in Japan and Street Fighter has a male demographic). However, this doesn’t mean that the person doesn’t exist in that particular card. Now, there’s a chance that this shadow is a representation of the player or even the artist who drew the picture. And there’s one particular picture that shows this more than any other. She provokes Cammy, Chun-Li, Bison, and others to fight her by using strong innuendos and double entendres, meaning fighting isn’t the only thing on Juri’s mind. We also know that it’s Menat who brought Juri, and not the other way around, since Juri invites people for aggressive hedonism rather than taking it easy. Since Rose did not appear to come to the bathhouse at all, this leaves Menat and Juri, again, as the odd pair out and suggests that Menat is really trying to get Juri to come out of her shell. With Ibuki and Mika already in a friendly, canonical rivalry, it stands to reason that they would go to Honda’s bathhouse together. However, we can tell Menat probably isn’t looking at Laura because that picture of Laura is not unique to this scene it was used earlier in Honda’s Story Mode. You could argue that Juri is breaking the fourth wall and actually looking at the player, which is not out of her character and something I will address a little later. How does she do this? She starts by getting Juri to relax… at Honda’s sento. Menat tells Juri this in a win quote, and as Menat has shown many times in her own story mode that she’s not above confrontation to pass on prophecies to those she thinks needs them, it would not be out of Menat’s nature to help Juri work out her deeply-rooted problems. “So, don’t take this the wrong way, okay? But it seems to me that you’re actually very lonely.” However, there appears to be a story that isn’t being told on the surface that involve these two characters, and it all starts with a quote from Menat: They have nothing in common, and don’t really interact in the game. However, the one odd pairing, Juri and Menat, doesn’t really make sense from looking at the boxes. Ryu and Chun-Li are the stars of the Street Fighter series, Vega and Cammy represent Shadaloo, Cody and Lucia represent Final Fight, and Alex and Rashid were the main protagonists of their respective games, SFIII and SFV. Each pairing of characters had something unique about them. The other four are Cody and Lucia, Alex and Rashid, Vega and Cammy, and Juri and Menat. Beginning with Ryu and Chun-Li, Glico would release five different boxes with different paired up characters. Glico, the company who makes Pocky, recently released a new campaign for their signature product: a crossover with Street Fighter V.
