The final concept was intended to be someone "bad and somewhat erotic,"[3] with Taekwondo selected as her martial art over suggestions such as a sports-themed style, due to its lack of representation in the series and feeling that a character that used primarily kicks could be interesting.

[5] Ono stated that they were planning on adding a Korean character since soon after Street Fighter II became popular in South Korea.

"[3] A pink crystal, known as the Feng Shui Engine, was added as a replacement inside her left eye after deciding to align her with Seth, in order to more closely tie her character to the organization.

They eventually settled on putting it in her eye, with design director Kamei commenting that a "big globe in the stomach of a female character wasn't going to look very attractive."

[3] Several designs were considered for her face, going through about seven versions before settling on her current appearance, though time constraints played a part in the decision.

[3] Attention was paid to Taekwondo users in other fighting games in an attempt to keep the character fresh and original, implementing several actual techniques as a result but altering their appearance to make them different but recognizable, describing it as "her style."

[3] She was originally designed to be a nice person who happens to be consorting with bad characters, but Ono went against this, stating "she can't be a good girl.

Kamei commented that one of his favourite expressions of Juri's is the one she makes when she appears to be having fun; he adds that this look made him feel like the animators had finally began to understand the character.

[9] An anime centering on Juri, produced by Studio Gonzo and Afro Samurai director Fuminori Kizaki, was included in the Japanese Xbox 360 version of Super Street Fighter IV.

[10] Although having been fully dubbed in English, the film was not released outside of Asia until its inclusion as part of the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set in 2012.

[11] Juri appears as a playable character in the crossover fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken with her official tag partner, M. Bison.

[5] Seth Killian, Capcom Special Advisor to Super Street Fighter IV, described Juri as "one of the most versatile characters."

He commented that she is a threat from mid-range as well as further away because of her dive kick, but theorized that characters like Zangief, Ryu, and Sagat would give Juri trouble due to their mobility and hard-hitting attacks.

[15] GamesRadar editor Brett Elston commented that while her dive kick was "so much fun that it’s almost irresistible," it "shouldn't be your first choice every time you get into the air."

[16] In discussing the pinwheel kick, developer Tamamura commented that females in fighting games typically have attacks with several hits to them, describing this move as an example of how she likes to show off.

[5] A dodge technique was implemented as a means of reflecting her personality, with developer Okada stating that it is a move that "puts her opponent off balance."

"[5] A resin statue of Juri was created by SOTA Toys and made available for the release of Super Street Fighter IV.

[23] Professional wrestler Zelina Vega cosplayed as Juri at The 2023 Royal Rumble, to promote the character's appearance in Street Fighter 6.

[26] Street Fighter player Justin Wong described her as "very unique", comparing her to Fatal Fury character Kim Kaphwan, a comparison GameSpot writer Ricardo Torres also made.

[27][28] Game Informer editor Dan Ryckert called Juri his "personal favorite," citing her fighting style.

[29] GamePro editor Heidi Kemps commented that "after spending time with her, I think I've found my new favorite Street Fighter IV character.

Her bare stomach is an obvious center of attention, but we're more taken in by the violet colors, lens-flaring robo-eyeball and her spiderlike top that slithers across her shoulders.
