Summary

  • Zenless Zone Zero will add its newest Agent, Tsukishiro Yanagi, in Version 1.3.
  • Yanagi will be an Electric-type Anomaly character and possibly the first S-tier banner character in Version 1.3.
  • The next update does not yet have a release date, but it's estimated that it will launch on or around November 4, 2024.

Zenless Zone Zero has revealed its newest Agent, Tsukishiro Yanagi, who will be added to the title in its next update. Zenless Zone Zero is known for its various factions that each play a role in improving New Eridu and keeping the city safe from Hollow monsters, and Yanagi is a representative of one of the most powerful groups.

Yanagi is a Deputy Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6, or simply Section 6, which is an armed force under H.A.N.D. The faction is often the first-response team during high-risk Hollow disasters, making the members some of the strongest people in Zenless Zone Zero's story. So far, only A-Rank Ice character Soukaku is a playable Agent from Section 6, and soon, Yanagi will be joining her.

Zenless Zone Zero announced on social media that Yanagi will be the next Agent to be added in Version 1.3. She will be an Electric-type Anomaly character, meaning that she can inflict a significant number of Anomaly Buildup on enemies. Zenless Zone Zero didn't indicate Yanagi's rank, but it's likely that she's the first S-tier banner character for Version 1.3.

Zenless Zone Zero's Yanagi Details Revealed

Name

Tsukishiro Yanagi

Rank

S-tier (rumored)

Attribute and Fighting Style

Electric, Anomaly

In Zenless Zone Zero's story, Yanagi is portrayed as a cool-headed Section 6 Agent whose primary goal is to keep civilians out of Hollows and take down powerful Ethereals like Nineveh. Section 6 has mostly been operating in the background, but with Yanagi becoming playable, Zenless Zone Zero fans might see more of the faction in Version 1.3's main story. Likewise, many players have said that they're excited to pull for Yanagi and to see the other Section 6 Agents added to future banners.

Zenless Zone Zero is known for its intuitive combat system inspired by Street Fighter 6's mechanics, so it's important to have a good mix of characters in a team to pull off the strongest combos. It's still too early to tell how Yanagi will potentially shake up the meta, but if she's indeed an S-tier Electric Anomaly character, she might just take Grace Howard's throne.

Both Yanagi and Grace are Electric-type Anomaly characters. The difference is that Grace is a long-range unit, while Yanagi uses a polearm blade.

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.3 doesn't have an official release date just yet, but it's estimated that it will launch on or around November 4, 2024. With around a month to wait, fans can expect more details to be revealed in the coming weeks, including Yanagi's banner schedule and ability kit.

Don't go into the Hollows.
I know, I know, there's Ether in the Hollows, bizarre creations, even heritage of the old civilization, all precious treasures. But don't forget, there's also spatial disorder, monsters and mutants running rampant, and ultimately, a disaster that could swallow the world. They are not a place where ordinary people should go.
So don't go into Hollows.
Or at least, don't go in alone.
If you insist on getting into danger, go to New Eridu first.
This city where the good and the bad mix has many people who need the Hollows: Powerful wealthy tycoons, gangs that stalk the streets, conspiracy nuts, and ruthless officials.
Make your preparations there, find strong allies, and most importantly—
Find a "Proxy".
Only they can guide people out of the maze-like Hollows.
Good luck!
