"Wrestling is great! It's true man versus man competition, no room for wimps."

— Juri

Juri Karamazov is a character in Bully, and is a member of the Jocks at Bullworth Academy. He was voiced by Lloyd Floyd.

Character Description

Juri is a tall and strong Jock, with light green eyes and a brown buzzcut. He wears a blue Bullworth t-shirt over an off-white long-sleeved undershirt, grey slacks, and blue gym sneakers. Much like Chad, his left wrist is bound with bandages. Juri speaks with a heavy eastern European accent, both this and his name imply that he is from Russia. However, in his mission dialogue (most of which is unused), his accent is lighter, with even some cases of flawless unaccented American. In the wintertime he adds a wool hat and white gloves.

An error in the game data files name him as the second in command of the Jocks.

An image of beta versions of the Jocks does not include Juri at all - instead, Bob is pictured with the clique. Juri may have been added to the game after the decision was made to remove Bob.

Characteristics

Juri seems to be very much a stereotypical Jock. He talks mainly about sports, has no respect for his education, and enjoys tormenting the Nerds. His personality is somewhat misogynistic. He worries that others might perceive him as "girly", and various lines of his dialogue express a lack of respect for girls. He struggles with the English language, frequently using poor grammar, such as being unable to pronounce the word "president", and not knowing the English phrase for fire alarm.

Juri frequently accompanies Damon, but his best friend is Luis, with whom he wrestles frequently. He prefers wrestling to football but does play on the school's football team, although his team number isn't known since he's never seen in uniform.

His use of the piledriver when fighting is thought to be a reference to the character Zangief from Street Fighter, who was also a wrestler from eastern Europe. 

Role in game

In This Is Your School, Juri is in the cafeteria, armwrestling with Damon as Ted watches. Just as the bell rings, Juri looks up and glares at Jimmy and Gary.

Juri can be seen in the mission The Candidate taunting Earnest with Damon. He ends up giving Earnest a vicious wedgie, and participates in the egging during Earnest's speech.

During Chapter 4, Juri makes regular appearances during the missions, but for the most part has no individual role. During The Big Game, Jimmy spreads super glue on the benches by the football field as one of several pranks, and Juri sits on the bench and gets stuck to it.

He's also caught in the gym during The Gym is Burning, where the basketball post falls on him. When Jimmy helps him Juri claims he could have done it himself, but a piece of debris falls in front of him causing another fire and forcing him to ask Jimmy for help again. Despite this, he will still be hostile to Jimmy after the mission is completed due to the Jock faction's respect being 40%.
