Personality[]
Zhou Yu is known for being accurately instinctive, whatever his instincts tell him are always correct. Because of his accurate instincts and intelligence that surpasses most people, he often acknowledges of himself as the smartest person on Earth. His confidence is slightly strained when he meets Zhuge Liang, who is acknowledged by Xiu as the truly "smartest" strategist on Earth.
He is shown to be extremely loyal to his superiors, especially Sun Ce, but also has his own ways of thinking. Should he find his superior's ideas inappropriate in some ways, he would persuade them to think otherwise, with as much tone and respect as possible to keep the situation peaceful.
He also has a caring and selfless side, given the time he sacrifices himself to protect Xiao Qiao from harm, despite he was in constant pain that eventually landed him in the hospital. He would go to any extent to protect those he loves, including sacrificing his dignity, and begging others for help.
Biography[]
K.O.3an Guo[]
- Season 1
Zhou Yu was first introduce in 13th Round as Jiang Dong High School Student Body Vice President when he came to Dong Han Academy to bring back Sun Shang Xiang. From the beginning he had showed amazing mind, negotiating power, and strategic skills. He is very smart and has a very good instict. He was always able to predict what his enemies were up to and able to be one step (or even more) quicker than his enemies. For example, when Zhou Yu was going to left Dong Han, he asked Xiu/Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Wu Hu Jiang, not to come to Jiang Dong and rescue Sun Shang Xiang. Cao cao praised his intelligence because at that time he was able to stopped Xiu/Liu Bei and the others from rescuing Sun Shang Xiang, before they even think about it. He sometimes praise himself for his intelligence and because of this some people for example Sun Ce and Sun Shang Xiang considered him as an arrogant person. In 15th Round other characters assumed that Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao have a history together. Xiao Qiao said that Zhou Yu was hopelessly smart but he would never understand her. Even though Xiao Qiao was very cold to him, he still protected her.
- Season 2
Zhou Yu helped Wu Hu Jiang, Xiu/Liu Bei, and Sun Shang Xiang during battle. Although he said that it was Sun Ce's order, Sun Shang Xiang did not believe him and it turned out that he was helping them because Xiao Qiao asked him to (21st Round).
In 27th Round and 28th Round Zhou Yu appeared in Xiao Qiao's flashbacks. It is shown in those flashbacks that he respected Sun Ce so much that he was willing to sacrifice his relationship with Xiao Qiao in order to hide Sun Ce and Da Qiao's relationship from Sun Jian, so that Sun Ce always has good reputation in Sun Jian's eyes.
Zhou Yu is a workaholic especially since he was chosen to be Vice President. Because he was so dedicated with his work, he sometimes forget about Xiao Qiao and chose work over her. He is very mature and like to use his brain more than his heart. That is why he said that Xiao Qiao's way of thinking is stupid because she uses instict, emotions, and her heart instead of her brain. Because Zhou Yu used his brain more than his heart in most of his act, he rarely showed his emotions.
- Season 3
In 33rd Round, Zhou Yu helped Guan Yu restored his power along side with his bandmates. He became a regular cast in Season 3. He was not on screen after Round 33, but he was never absent since 38th Round until the 53rd Round.
In Season 3, the main story involving Zhou Yu is about his relationship with Xiao Qiao. When Dong Han Academy was taken by Yuan Shao, Xiao Qiao had to move back to Jiang Dong. Ever since that, Zhou Yu had been doing everything he can to make sure Xiao Qiao stayed in Jiang Dong and also make sure that her friends (mainly Xiu/Liu Bei, Cao Cao) went back to Dong Han. Even though they have a rocky relationship but Zhou Yu was able to convince Xiao Qiao to take him back and stayed in Jiang Dong by his side.
From Round 33 and Round 38 to Round 53, fans can see the other side of Zhou Yu beside his workaholic side. It was shown that Zhou Yu was a really caring person, especially towards the people he loved. He was willing to sacrifice everything, even his life and dignity to make sure his love ones were safe and happy.
One month after their final confrontation with Ye Si Ti, Zhou Yu maintains his relationship with Xiao Qiao. Sometime later, they become engaged, and their dog, Xiao Jin, has found two "girlfriends" and a puppy named Xiao Xiao Jin.

Out of all the member of Champion, Zhou Yu seemed to be close with Taishi Ci, who is also his partner. After Taishi Ci went away on a mission in the third season, Gan Ning became the voice of reason, something that Taishi Ci usually does. Lu Meng respects Zhou Yu the most.

Luckly, Gan Ning always stand beside him to shut him up and prevent further embarrassment for Zhou Yu.
- Sun Quan (孫權)
Though Zhou Yu is loyal to Sun Quan, his respect is far lower than Sun Ce. When he offers Zhou Yu the position of student body president, he declines, confirming that his utmost respect goes to Sun Ce. However, he changes his mind after some time of thinking, and Da Qiao's persuation. Eventually, he learns to respect Sun Quan a little more.
- Da Qiao (大喬)
For two years, Zhou Yu has been pretending to be Da Qiao's boyfriend to cover Sun Ce and Da Qiao's relationship. The two seem to get along just fine, even as friends.
