Zenless Zone Zero’s Yanagi is a badass NPC agent and the Deputy Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. She’s cooler than you, she’s cooler than us, we’ve already learned to accept it. She might look cute, with her bubblegum pink hair and wire-framed glasses, but we’re almost positive that she’s going to pack quite a punch when she appears as a playable character. Let’s take a look at what we know.
While you’re reading up on Yanagi, make sure to grab the new Zenless Zone Zero codes so you can bag yourself a playable character from the latest Zenless Zone Zero banner. Or, if you’re thrifty, you can save up for the next Zenless Zone Zero update by taking part in all the current Zenless Zone Zero events.
Here’s everything we know about Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi:
Zenless Zone Zero Yanagi release date speculation
While we don’t have set confirmation that Yanagi is on her way imminently, Hoyoverse teased her in the pre-release livestream. So it stands to reason that we’ll be seeing plenty of this pink-haired special agent pretty soon. We already know that Yanagi is a fully realized character thanks to the clips we’ve seen in the teasers, and she appears briefly in the story while you’re exploring Hollow Zero, so we have a feeling she’s due to meet up with her Section 6 buddies soon.
Zenless Zone Zero’s Miyabi comes from the Hollow Special Operations unit as well, and we already have Zenless Zone Zero’s Soukaku representing the faction. So we’re hoping to meet Yanagi in the 1.3 update, and we’ll let you know once we have an official release date for her.
Who is Yanagi?
So far, all we know about Yanagi is that she’s a special agent for Section 6. When you meet this faction for the first time, Yanagi greets you and introduces herself as the Deputy Chief. Since her rank in Section 6 is so high, it’s safe to assume that Yanagi will appear as an S-rank character. Section 6 is also home to a couple of other playable characters, so it would make sense that Yanagi joins the fray at some point.
We’ve met her as an NPC already, so we’re looking forward to taking her into battle. There are whispers that she’ll be appearing as an electric anomaly agent, although we don’t have anything official, so it’s always best to take these rumors with a pinch of salt.
What do we know about Yanagi’s potential build?
Again, since we don’t have any concrete information, we don’t know what role Yanagi will fill or what her best build would look like just yet. However, since there’s a strong indication that Yanagi will be an S-rank electric anomaly agent, it’s safe to assume that she’s going to pack quite a punch. We’d expect some decent AoE damage and lightning-fast chain attacks, but we’ll have to wait and see.
