Fandom

Jun (Ully, rather) is one of the most disliked characters in the North American fandom of YST. The most common complaint received is that he is an annoyance who constantly distracted the warriors from their battles. He is virtually non-existent in fan fiction. While he has his share of fans, he is at the bottom of the list among the favorites. It is noted that Jun is one of the few individuals in the series who is a normal human being.
