Yuriko/Needleman Cross Fusion Episode Premiered In: Episode 48, "Mariko and Yuriko" Following Appearances: none Activation: Yet another case of Cross Fusion thanks to a Dark Synchro Chip. However, Yuriko's situation is far different from Misaki's. Needleman is an actual Dark Loid, so it doesn't bother him much to use Dark Chips (meaning you can't corrupt what's already evil. ^_^;) Since Yuriko also works for Nebula, she has no qualms with using a Dark Chip herself. Unfortunately, her Cross Fusion debut does not last for long. She was given the chip so that she could destroy her kind twin sister, Mariko. However, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Because of her betrayal to Nebula, they took it upon themselves to get rid of Yuriko for good. Oddly enough, this proves that the operator and navi do not have to be the same "gender" to perform Cross Fusion. Special Attributes: Cross Fusion can only be initiated when Yuriko's surroundings are covered by a "Dimensional Area" dome. This feature merges both the net and real life together, thus allowing navis to transfer to the real world. Cross Fusion allows Yuriko and Needleman to merge into one being, and fight together. Gained Attacks: Needle Cannon, Needle Buster, Clear Needle Disadvantages: Needleman actually does have an element, so it may be that fire attacks would have a double harmful effect while Yuriko is in Cross Fusion.
