Kuga Yuuya is an enemy, and later supporting character, in Digimon World Re:Digitize. He's temporarily playable just before the final boss battles of Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode alongside Black.

Profile

Yuuya is the son of Kuga Kenzou, CEO of GIGO Company, and thus, heir to the position, which he sees as being the head of the world. He's willing to do anything for that, including hacking his Partner Digimon's data, having reinforced Black through a GIGO backdoor. However, he does this because he considers GIGO to be noble, and is visibly distressed when he learns of the dark side of the company from Professor Petrov. He feels a sense of responsibility towards the Digital World due to his position, so he acted as warden to it through Black before being sent into it himself. Beyond Black's overwhelming strength, Yuuya himself is an extremely skilled Tamer, having ranked 2nd at the Digitower, below Nyanko Tamer and above Taiga without using Black at all, hence why he was selected by Mikagura Mirei.

Yuuya is a natural loner. He considers himself above others, and thus, is unwilling to team up with them, causing rifts in the Tamers. He dislikes the weak, especially those that won't act by themselves due to fear like DORUmon, and is extremely harsh with them, if with the intent to make them improve. He's fearless towards even dangerous threats like the X-Program and Vitium. Nicolai Petrov has a one-sided rivalry with him due to Yuuya defeating him in battle early on during their adventure, then insulting his father, Professor Petrov, who he sees as having hurt GIGO's image. He mistrusts Mirei, who can use two Partner Digimon at once and got in his way earlier. Nonetheless, he's capable of respecting those that have proven their worth to him, such as Taiga.

Digimon World Re:Digitize

Five young children: Nicolai Petrov, Rindou Akiho, Kuga Yuuya, Mikagura Mirei, and Taiga, dived into the Digital World by entering their passwords and having their accounts confirmed in "Digital Monster".

As Mirei observed the Digital Space inside GIGO Server with her Partner Digimon, Angewomon and Lady Devimon, she was distracted by the appearance of a Digimon's signal and warned her Digimon to be careful. A Black War Greymon (X-Antibody) called Black then appeared in front of Angewomon and Lady Devimon, as his Tamer, Yuuya, pointed out how he had finally found the hacker. He commended Mirei's hacking abilities, as he had noticed there was someone lurking in the server but she had made it difficult for him to find her. However, as the one who'd lead GIGO Company someday, he couldn't allow her to do as she pleased and would dispose of her.

Their battle would later interrupt Taiga and Nyanko Tamer's battle, as it caused a Colosseum wall to suddenly explode, startling Nyanko Tamer, and Angewomon and Lady Devimon fell from said explosion. Black then appeared from the explosion, as Yuuya pointed out he had Mirei cornered.

Continuing in "Complication!", Black let loose a blast from its mouth at Angewomon and Lady Devimon, though they both managed to avoid it. Taiga, Nyanko Tamer, Agumon and Digitorin got sent flying by the shock wave it caused. Black then charged at Angewomon, to Mirei's fear. Yuuya was confident that meant one of Mirei's Partner Digimon was down, but Black was stopped by a barrage of fireballs from Digitorin. Nyanko Tamer then screamed at Yuuya and Mirei for barging into their match, shocking Taiga and Nico, who observed everything alongside Taiga from his computer and found her scary, as did Taiga. Yuuya realized the damage was giving him temporary restrictions. Mirei made an exit and commanded her Digimon to escape through it, as Yuuya would lose all track of her once the exit closed, and thanks to the restrictions, they succeeded in doing so. Taiga, Nyanko Tamer, Agumon and Digitorin looked at the exit, as the former pointed out Angewomon and Lady Devimon had disappeared.

Black turned to the Tamers left in the Colosseum and, in a sound-only connection, Yuuya pointed out that their interference was very irksome and he had no time to play along with them, which Nyanko Tamer found very rude. However, for Yuuya, both Digital Monsters and their low-level battle really were nothing but a game. Nyanko Tamer couldn't let that go unchallenged and Yuuya asked her if she wanted to test him, warning her that she should be careful as Black and him were a little irritated. Black then charged in and swiped at Agumon and Digitorin. Akiho reacted at the blow, while Taiga decided he had to help Digitorin, as did Nico, who sent in his Partner, Sashenka, through his wrist-mounted Digivice. Sashenka rescued Digitorin and Agumon Warp Evolved into War Greymon. However, Yuuya was unfazed, as he thought that no matter how many people joined or evolved, they were no match for him and would teach them that in an instant. Black retracted his arms and legs, confusing Taiga, then let loose a massive shockwave. War Greymon shielded Sashenka and Digitorin with his body. The attack caused explosions all over the Colosseum and left War Greymon badly wounded. Taiga flew towards his partner, as Yuuya asked everyone if they understood their powerlessness as he was a chosen one unlike them. With his hand over War Greymon, Taiga pointed out that it had to be a mistake for someone like Yuuya, who only flaunted around his power, to be chosen. Yuuya pointed out that the scenary around them was the proof of his status and his complaints were those of a loser, then commanded Black to put an end to the fight, aiming at Nico, Nyanko Tamer, Sashenka and the KOed Digitorin. An emergency announcement then sounded off, that the battlefield building Colosseum would be updated to the digitower interior set up within the Digital World. After the update, Yuuya wondered what happened, as he hadn't heard of any plans for such a large update.

Black then charged at his enemies. Nico challenged him, Nyanko Tamer pointed out he was in no shape to fight, and Nico acknowledged she was right but there were times where he had to fight no matter what. Taiga was worried as they'd all die at this rate and begged War Greymon to lend them his power. This awoke his Partner Digimon who, after a roar, shot a Gaia Force at Black, to Yuuya's surprise as he should've been near-death. The attack caused massive damage to Black, shocking Yuuya as it shouldn't have had so much power, and he had Black retreat afterwards.

After the battle, Mirei wondered about the Gaia Force that showed far greater power from its original configuration and War Greymon's mysterious revival, explaining that his Tamer's strong and unique ability to adapt to the Digital World must have temporarily awakened War Greymon's abilities. She found all the people involved interesting:

• Nico, the son of Professor Petrov who developed the Digitize technology.
• Akiho, the number one Digital Monster Tamer in the world.
• Yuuya, the one with a privileged GIGO account who held overwhelming power but lurked in darkness.
• Taiga, the Tamer who showed incredibly strong adaptability to the Digital World.

Acknowledging them as the most appropiate to receive an e-mail, she sent it to them:

"Before everything returns to the void, digitalize and renew the world..."
