Yuri, who was originally an animal, is capable of communicating with and understanding other animals, which has come in handy during certain points in the story. He also has a sensitive nose along with sensitive ears that can be used for tracking others (except during rainy weather). But because his nose is so sensitive, strong aromas such as perfumes can irritate his sense of smell. Likewise, his ears are so sensitive that any loud and unexpected noises such as thunder can easily startle and distract him.
