Fan Art of Tsukatsuki Rio From Blue Archive

Blue Archive, a free-to-play tactical role-playing game developed by Nexon Games for mobile, recently celebrated its fourth JP anniversary on February 4th, 2025. This anniversary has turned out to be full of exciting updates for Blue Archive fans, especially those who have been eagerly awaiting the addition of certain NPCs as playable characters to the game. One of those characters is Tsukatsuki Rio, who, following Yurizono Seia, has finally been introduced as a playable character!

The main story of Blue Archive revolves around Sensei’s journey—the player’s character and main protagonist—as they travel to various schools in Kivotos to assist the students with their problems, occasionally getting into (mis)adventures along the way.

One of the characters players can meet in this game is Tsukatsuki Rio. The student council president of Millennium Science School, Rio can be stoic and ruthless due to her tendency to value facts over emotions, a trait that puts her at odds with the other students and instills terror in them. While her approach of always doing “what’s most rational” often leads to criticism, she also has a protective and nurturing side that becomes apparent in her interactions with certain people. Due to her prioritization of strength and power over aesthetics, she is known to be obsessed with designs that are considered outdated—although one might argue that they’re merely a little “avant garde.”

Due to this combination of intriguing characteristics, Tsukatsuki Rio is having a moment on pixiv! Take a look below to see some of the best fan art featuring her!
