Garu

Garu

Garu has long hair that he keeps tied up in pigtails, round dark-colored eyes and straight eyebrows. He also typically wears a black ninja jumpsuit with a large red heart on it. He is said to be quite attractive as several other female characters have either been in love or infatuated with him like: A Swiss girl named Heidi (Swiss Kiss) The Queen of the Giant Termites (Chop Chewie) A female rabbit (Abra-Ca-Pucca) Possibly Ring Ring (although it is more for getting under Pucca's skin than actual affection), which has thus earned him the nickname "handsome." His own clone says he's "as attractive as he is" (Romancing the Clone).

Personality

Garu is a dedicated ninja in training who has a very serious nature and he enjoys his own company and meditation. He has been shown to almost immediately accept a quest if told it will bring him "great honor." The reason for this, although never revealed in the TV series, most likely stems from one of Garu's ancestors bringing dishonor upon his family (as was revealed in the original Flash cartoons). He tries to uphold this by helping Master Soo so he can eventually restore his family's honor. Because of this, he is put into situations he doesn't enjoy but will put up with to maintain the honor. Garu's sense of honor can also be seen in Dong King vs. Goh Rong Part 1 and Dong King vs. Goh Rong Part 2. When Dong King makes him believe that he's his son in Part 1, he unwillingly works alongside him to help him win, in disguise. When it is revealed Dong King's helper is Garu himself, he is filled with such guilt for betraying the Goh-Rong chefs that he runs away. In Part 2, when Pucca, Abyo, and Ching try to bring him back, the guilt is too much to bear in the beginning. But during the second competition, he comes back to help the three win Goh-Rong back to redeem himself. Garu tends to like animals and insects such as in Chicken Spots where he smiled and held a cricket. Garu is also the best friend of Abyo.

Abilities

Garu is a ninja who has displayed advanced swordsmanship and an incredible grasp on ninjutsu. He has inhuman endurance (i.e running around the world without tiring) as he can perform super athletic feats without batting an eyelid. He has earned himself the "Fire Wasp Ninja" status with his combat skill level. Like most ninjas, Garu possesses the ability to create multiple clones of himself that give him the edge in a seemingly uneven fight (which Chang refers to as his "Garusion Illusion" Technique). He also is able to levitate himself slightly in the air whilst meditating (though this ability isn't used often). He has also demonstrated his extensive ability to play the erhu, which quickly lulls people to sleep. Some of Garu's techniques are based on Master Hiel Kikyu's skills, who is a martial artist that Garu greatly admires. Garu is capable of superhuman athletics and endurance, although Pucca still manages to get the best of him.

Relationships

Garu rarely returns any feelings for Pucca as it is obviously noted that Garu will always attempt to escape from Pucca's kisses or her being clingy, much to her frustration. However, in most episodes, when Garu isn't being chased by Pucca, he is seen frequently spending some time with her even without Pucca forcing him to, Garu shares some love-hate relationship with Pucca. Although, it is unknown if Garu has genuine feelings for Pucca, but he is just shy to admit it and there are times he does genuinely appreciate Pucca's skills in fighting, but it can be Garu sees her as just a friend. He is embarrassed by Pucca being clingy or if he just wants to have time alone, but Pucca will always come at him every chance she gets. Despite all the embarrassment and clinginess, Garu is shown several times to care about Pucca's feelings and ultimately does not like seeing her crying when it is really serious. Garu, like everyone else, doesn't like seeing her mad as shown in A Force of Won after Tobe accidentally destroyed the Garu doll that Pucca is playing with, Garu and the ninja he is fighting drop the fight and ran as far as possible from her knowing what her anger is capable of.
