Appearance

Jin Mori is 1.77m tall and has an athletic build. He is often seen wearing a dark green sleeping mask. His hair is dark brown and he has black eyes with bright golden pupils. When he is irritated or excited, the pupil forms a cross that reaches to the edge of the iris. He has a large scar on his forehead that is hidden by his hair. During the GOH Tournament, he usually wears a white shirt, red shoes, blue pants, and a jacket that ties around his waist. His appearance has matured 17 years after Ragnarök and he has numerous scars on his body. He is seen in the epilogue wearing a grey jeogori and jeans, with his hair tied in a low ponytail. In Monkey King Mode, he is shown with his Yongpyo and Loop of Binding. His eyes are blue with a golden cross that reaches to the edge of his iris. His irises turned red after being imprisoned in Palgwaero and gaining power from his subordinates. These were later sealed when he lost the First Heavenly War, opened after he ate Xuanzang, and lost again when he fell into a deep sleep. He regained them after his training before entering The Skyscraper. As Dan Mori, he resembles a young adult of average height (shorter than his Jin Mori appearance) with an athletic physique covered in scars. His face has been described as adorable on multiple occasions. He has large, round black eyes with yellow pupils and messy teal hair.

Following the GOH tournament preliminaries, Dan Mori once again sports his signature sleeping mask. Mori also wears a black hoodie with a floral print on the hood, a red plaid shirt over it, and another blue jacket around his waist during the tournament. He is also frequently seen wearing an orchid pink shirt with black sleeves and jeans, or a white sleeveless shirt with an orange jacket and a green sweater. Mori cuts her hair after her sister's recovery, resulting in a short haircut that reveals the scar on her forehead. The hair eventually grows back to its previous state. Dan Mori's hair gradually changes color while fighting Park Mubong until it is completely white. His Jin appearance retains the white color and has golden-colored tips, but can also revert to his original hair color (dark brown). His "Miracle" form features a jade Loop of Binding, while his Nirvana form has a red one.

Personality

Previously, as Wukong, he ruled over several demons since he was a child. He was ruthless and arrogant, starting the First Celestial War because he felt the gods looked down on him, sacrificing his allies and people in favor of conquering the Celestial Realm and satisfying his murderous desires, but he did not take kindly to life and refused to bring souls from Hephaestus in exchange for his armor. The gods of the First Celestial Realm even compared Satan to him, mentioning that he does not reek of violence like Mori. He refused to fight alongside others to the point where he would rather lose than ask for help and also preferred to live a short but eventful life rather than spend it as a servant of a god. After being defeated and imprisoned for 500 years by Tathagata, his aggressive behavior subsided. He still sought strength, but Xuanzang taught him the value of life, trust in others, and the true meaning of paradise. Under his wing, he began to show mercy and kindness and developed a strong desire to protect, leading him to what he believes to be his life's purpose. However, he is quite incapable of properly communicating his feelings, resulting in him hurting the feelings of others. Mori's experience of being forced to eat Xuanzang alive in order to survive left him with severe trauma and an intense hatred and fear for Tathagata.

As he took on the identity of Jin Mori after forgetting his previous one, parts of his behavior closely resemble Xuanzang's. He is playful, straightforward, loyal, kind-hearted, and is wiser than he appears, but can be childish. His instincts are incredible, he is quick-witted, and has excellent fighting prowess. His trait of preferring to fight alone is still present, as he dislikes the concept of borrowing others' power. His good nature was shown when he knocked down Gang Manseok after witnessing his excessive violence, despite knowing that he would be disqualified from the tournament, and according to Mira, Mori would have immediately retreated if he had known that Daewi was fighting to save his friend. It can be inferred that Mori wasn't a very sociable person originally, as he didn't have any close relationships outside of his grandfather before he met Mira and Daewi. He only realized he had made friends when Mira and Daewi showed up at his door to celebrate his birthday. He rarely expresses his anger, but when he does, he reveals his ruthless side by mercilessly beating his opponent with an expressionless face. He is also capable of killing his opponents and is not affected by their deaths. When he regained all of his memories inside the Pumpkin, he expressed hatred and disappointment towards his past self's behavior of needlessly sacrificing those who were willing to give their lives for him, rejected his former identity, and took responsibility for his subjects, protecting them. He is no longer quick to fight, assessing the situation first and setting priorities. He is very protective of his friends, immediately dropping his playful act and resorting to violence and intimidation the moment he feels his safety is threatened.

His self-blame and hatred increase as he finds himself unable to protect his friends during Ragnarok and eventually feels like he has lost his purpose in life once again with the death of his grandfather, disappearing for 17 years and nearly leaving himself to die. As Dan Mori, he appears rather cheerful, yet very responsible as Dan Ahan's legal guardian and older brother, as he secures money for food, rent, and medicine. He was also able to take on a more fatherly attitude towards her when she felt he was hiding his medical condition from her and refused to take her medicine. It is later revealed that "Dan Mori" was just a facade Mori used to hide from himself, his guilt, self-hatred, and pain, as he forcefully repressed his memories whenever the thought of him being Jin Mori surfaced in his mind. Ahan, like Taejin and Xuanzang, became his reason for living and was the one who saved him from death. After the fight with Jung Mori, he decided to face himself. He became a much calmer and more mature person. He faced his own emotions and accepted his flaws more, leading him to improve both physically and mentally. Despite his development, he harbors such a deep hatred towards Mubong that he would even let others and himself die if it meant their demise. His thirst for revenge led him to start a war against the world, being responsible for the deaths of two Generation X children and nearly killing a large group of people. Due to his lifelong experience in lethal activities, he remains unaffected by the deaths and suffering of those not close to him.

He has a strong hatred towards himself, as he considers himself useless despite being powerful due to being unable to protect those he cares about. Hearing about Tathagata's possible resurrection made him feel fear, as he wouldn't be able to handle it if he lost someone dearer to him. His greatest fear is having to run away from everything again in order to survive and ending up watching the things he wants to protect disappear before him. He finally accepts himself and his identities, as well as his emotional weight, realizing that everything that has happened in his life has had a purpose and that nothing in this world is useless. He understands that he is not alone and that he should not fight alone, as everyone has his back.

History

A few billion years before the start of the GOH plot, the Nine Kings of the Sage Kingdom went to war with the Heavenly Kingdom. Jecheondaeseong eventually fought the Nine-Tailed Guardian, but to the monkey kings' dismay, their fight was cut short and the king was captured and put into the Eight Trigrams Jail. Although he was imprisoned, he eventually escaped with the help of his army which gave him strength. The war lasted for many years, but inevitably ended with the loss of the Sage Kingdom. Mori eventually fought them once more, battling Buddha and the Jade Emperor, but was captured, and upon his return, acted as an emissary between the gods and the Sage Kingdom. However, something happened that caused him to disappear and regress into the form of a baby and become sealed within an energy stone. At least 20 years before the start of the God of High School plot, Jin Tae-Jin and his RE Taekwondo Force were on a mission called the Gilgamesh Mission in North Korea. After a huge fight with one of the Monkey King's furry clones, where Tae-Jin won, the furry clone gave Mo-Ri, encased in an energy stone, to Tae-Jin to look after and protect. Seventeen years before the start, during the fight against Jin Tae-Jin and the Six, he emerged from the crystal causing a massive explosion and led to Kim Oong-Nyuh's defeat. He was later raised in the mountains and trained by Tae-Jin until he was around eight years old when he was sent to school to make friends and be around other people in the city. He learned Renewal Taekwondo from his grandfather and is most exceptional at it, being one of the strongest competitors in the GOH tournament.
