40 free Fushigi Yugi trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Fushigi Yugi starts with two schoolgirls and an old book. Miaka Yuki and her best friend Yui Hongo open The Universe of the Four Gods and are pulled into a version of ancient China, where each becomes the priestess of a rival god and must gather her own band of Celestial Warriors. This quiz is built around the characters. It covers Miaka, Tamahome and the rest of the Suzaku warriors, with their powers, pasts and quirks, the Seiryu warriors who oppose them, and the priestesses and warriors of Genbu and Byakko from the prequel manga. A few questions also look at the voice cast and at the people who made the manga and the anime. The opening questions suit anyone who watched the series or read the first volumes, and the later ones are for fans who followed the story into its prequels. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so the set works as a refresher before a rewatch or as a round for an anime club night.
