Timeline: episode 13 of the second season
Canon Resource Links: wiki.

Personality:

Yuuji's a pretty smart guy. Not only was he a child prodigy, he was also chosen to be the representative for class F. Fumizuki Academy only chooses the the smartest student from each class to represent their designated class as a whole. The unfortunate thing about Yuuji is that he's extremely lazy and prefers sleeping than paying attention, or jotting down notes. He would probably fall under the lazy genius syndrome if he actually put any effort into studying. Yuuji has a strong dislike for tests. He thinks they're a pointless way to show how much the student has learned. In fact he even states that he wants to show the Academy that grades don't really matter outside of school.

Since he has the power to do so, he appoints himself as the class strategist. He understands what his classmates can and cannot do. He also uses whatever information he has to the best of his ability. A great example of this would be his take over of Class E. He knew the overall outcome wouldn't be what the others were wishing for and was really banking in on Himeji's (the smartest student out of class F) score in the end. As the series progresses, his strategies change and start to focusing on the weaknesses each class tends to have. Unlike the other characters Yuuji doesn't really have a set course he's good at. He has a decent understanding in most of the courses offered in the school. His foresight is amazing, and because of this he is able to lead Class F into many victories.

Yuuji, even though he doesn't show it much, cares deeply for his friends. Take Yoshii for example. Yuuji usually uses Yoshii as a scapegoat to inform other classes that Class F would like to engage in a Summons Test War. This normally results in Yoshii coming back looking like he had just gotten out of a fight. Despite the stuff he puts Yoshii thorugh, he's there for him when the boy truly needs him. He agrees to Yoshii's unrealistic plan to get more proper equipment for their class, and he also let's Yoshii stay the night at his house whenever he needs to. Yuuji, for some weird reason, can also understand Yoshii's facial expressions. Even though this was said as a joke he is usually dead on with his guesses.

As for Shouko, despite all the things she puts him through, all the horrible, bone breaking dates she forces him to go on, he still shows that he cares about her when it comes down to it. During episode seven of the first season it is revealed that it was Shouko's biggest dream to be Yuuji's bride. A young couple had mocked her for it and said she was too old to be having silly dreams. Later on, Yuuji runs into the couple and ends up beating (and getting) the shit out of him. He later meets up with Shouko and tells her that he admires her dream of loving one person that deeply, but that he was the wrong choice. Later on in episode 12, he jumps in after Shouko to save her when the school collapses and admits that he was worried over her safety. He does something similar to this during a flashback when he intervenes a bunch of his bullies (sixth graders to be exact, they were sore over him scoring higher then them on a test) and takes a the blow for her.

Yuuji's cool, collected and isn't the type to mince his words together. He can be very blunt when he has to be. He's not the type of person who would freak out when in a new place. He proves how calm he is by not freaking out when he wakes up seeing Shouko in his room in episode seven. In fact he probably wouldn't mind it so long as Shouko didn't pop out of no where. Since he's usually a collected person it takes a lot to push Yuuji off edge. Anything involving his future with Shouko would be one of the things that'd push him off the edge. He's the type to treat everyone the same, no matter who they are or where they come from. He only gets fidgety or nervous when he's around Shouko. As mentioned above he was truly worried over her when she fell in, and he isn't the type to freely admit something like that.
