Following the raid on Tachikawa Base, Jura welcomed Aoi Kaguragi and Haruichi Izumo into the Second Division.
The Kaiju Weapon Arc
After Isao Shinomiya was killed by Kaiju No. 9, Jura and the rest of the Second Division attended his funeral to pay their respects.
The Compatible User Arc
During the Anti–No. 9 Eastern Divisional Conference, Jura and the other division captains reviewed intel gathered by Third Division vice-captain Soshiro Hoshina through Kaiju No. 10.
Trivia
In Chapter 1, after rescuing Reno Ichikawa and Kafka Hibino, Third Division Captain Mina Ashiro refers to one of her subordinates as Igarashi (五十嵐). Since the kanji matches Jura’s surname, it was implied they were related.
This was later confirmed when the officer was revealed to be Hakua Igarashi, Jura’s younger sister.
Jura has a fondness for cats and rugby. She also holds deep admiration for Mina Ashiro, which is why she encouraged Hakua to join the Third Division rather than her own.
