Marito Jin

personality

Marito is an eccentric person with a love of food (particularly Maji kebabs and seafood gratin macaroni[2]) and fighting. He is quick to get excited over the prospect of a good fight and is gleeful when his opponent manages to leave a mark on him.[3] [4] However, he is also lazy and appears to spend a lot of time lazing around and napping inside the Siguma Squad club house.[3] While he is protective of his younger sister, Mahoro, and is said to have fought or beaten up at least 35 other boys—including Arajin Tomoshibi—for her honor[3], he seems to keep a distance from her and often tells her to go home or stay away from his gang-related activities.

appearance

Marito is a muscular fair-skinned man. He has long lime green hair with a black peekaboo tied usually in a half up, half down style, with bangs remaining on his face. His bun is shaped like a heart. He has matching pink eyes with his sister, Mahoro. Marito has many piercings including lobes, helix, and snake bites. Alongside his silver piercings he has a face chain that runs ear to ear and a lime and purple butterfly tattoo on his left shoulder. Under that tattoo another tattoo of script writing is found, saying "The Folly of Enthusiasm". His style is very bright in nature. Often wearing a ombre white to yellow shirt with green details on it. Alongside that he wears multiple neck chains including a red and blue lightning bolt that all his members have matching of, and bracelets on his left wrist.

history

Marito met Outa at middle school and they were already known as the God Kings by the time they started high school together. At this point, Marito was burned out and bored, with little enthusiasm for joining either Minato Kai or Ikki Union. After witnessing the defeat of Ikki Union's leader, Ransei Shiba at the hands of Kenichiro, he runs in to attack Kenichiro with a flying kick. Interested in fighting again, he tries to goad Kenichiro into a fight but Kenichiro turns his back and walks away, leaving Marito confused. The current members of Ikki Union beg Marito to become the leader of their gang, but he is still disinterested despite hearing how he would be able to fight Kenichiro again if he became their leader. Outa then claims to be Ikki Union's new leader and challenges Kenichiro to a fight, and is heavily outmatched, being thrown to the ground. Marito then runs up to Outa and chides him for trying to get Kenichiro worked up to fight him, but jumps in to fight him anyway. The two continue fighting but no clear winner is decided. Marito's fighting spirit is reinvigorated by his rivalry with Kenichiro. At some point after the fight, Marito renames Ikki Union to Siguma Squad, referencing the characters visible on his Seafood Gratin Macaroni noodle cup (シグマ, shiguma; シーフードグラタンマカロニ, shīfūdo guratan makaroni), although the other members of the gang think it refers to singlemindedness.

MORE HISTORY

After hearing his little sister has a date, he and his gang go to interrupt it, leading to a fight between him and Arajin Tomoshibi in which Arajin and Senya merge and hit him in the stomach sending him flying.[3] This excited Marito, causing him to want to recruit Arajin to join the Siguma Squad, and eventually getting him to join after pursuing him several times at school.[6] After Arajin joins, Marito hosts a welcome party in which Outa, his right hand man, gets jumped.[7] This led to tensions between Siguma Squad and Minato Kai, culminating in Marito declaring war between the two gangs. Marito fights Kenichiro one-on-one at the Colosseum while their respective gangs battle each other, and the two seem to be evenly matched before the floor collapses beneath them, knocking both of them out for the duration of the battle between Siguma Squad and Minato Kai against the NG Boys. When he regains consciousness and the fight is over, he's helped to walk by two Siguma Squad members. Mahoro goes to greet him and he says that he told her not to come. She then hugs him tearfully. After the fight, Marito and Outa eat cup noodles by the sea side and Outa tells Marito he's got to stop losing, which Marito denies doing. He then vows that next time he'll get the jumbo sized noodles.[2] Mahoro visits Marito in the hospital and brings him a disgusting-looking bento to eat. She tries to feed him, which he resists by turning his face away before grabbing her arm. Arajin enters the hospital room with flowers intended for Mahoro, who tells him that her brother can only have family visitors. Marito then tells her to leave. While Arajin is out of the room he quickly eats the bento she left him and then drinks a large bottle of soda, finishing with a disgusted look on his face. He then talks to Arajin about his fight with Akutaro Shindo before asking him if he likes group dates. The group date turns out to be a wrestling tournament between Siguma Squad and Minato Kai.

HISTORY AGAIN

When Kenichiro is prevented from participating any further due to throwing out his back, Marito responds with a disappointed look. His first fight is with Komao Sakigake, who he defeats with ease. After lunch, he then defeats several more members of Minato Kai, including Kakeru Zabu. His next opponent is Matakara Asamine, but he doesn't feel like that would be enough yet. He instead suggests that Matakara and Arajin team up against himself and Nagare Jabashiri in a tag team fight. He has a reluctant Jabashiri tag him in when Arajin swaps with Matakara, only for Arajin to feign a leg cramp and tag back out. Marito and Matakara fight, with Marito overpowering the latter. Arajin then calls out and claims there's a spicy maji kebab above them, which distracts Marito before he can land a final kick on Matakara. Marito then goes after Arajin, demanding to know where the kebab is, who ends up being thrown onto Jabashiri. Jabashiri is counted out and Arajin and Matakara are declared the winners of the fight. Marito then knocks down the tent used as the wrestling venue while demanding to let him fight them again. Marito finds out about Mitsukuni Asamine being injured from Outa as they walk into his room and he expresses his disbelief that such a thing could happen. When Outa states that Matakara will be suffering, Marito questions why Matakara is relevent, and is told that he is Mitsukuni's younger brother. When he exclaims his surprise, Mahoro does the same from where she's hiding under his bed. He hears this and begins to search through his room, finding nothing.[9] Later, Marito is walking with Outa, Jabashiri and Hagure and they cross paths with Matakara. Jabashiri challenges Matakara, who dismisses him and instead charges at Marito, who blocks him with a kick. The two of them fight, with Marito having the clear upperhand, until Matakara runs away under Ichiya's instruction to withdraw. Marito proudly shows off the mark on his arm to Outa.

HISTORY

After Jabashiri and Hagure's fights with Matakara, Marito and Outa visit Jabashiri's house with food. He tells Jabashiri that Matakara is his fight, before giving him the food and leaving with Outa. Outside, Outa tells Marito that he feels like fighting Matakara is a bad idea, and Marito concedes that Outa is usually right, but this means that it would be an exciting fight. He then challenges Matakara to a fight over the school's intercom. Marito appears to have the upperhand for most of the fight, having nearly defeated Matakara despite him using underhanded tricks. However, Matakara merges with Ichiya and lands a hard kick on Marito's chest which sends him flying back into the fence. Marito tries to stand to continue the fight, but collapses and is then knocked out by a kick to the head. With Marito in the hospital due to his injuries, the rest of Siguma Squad question how the gang can go on without his leadership. When Outa goes to the hospital to visit Marito, it's revealed by Hagure that he hasn't woken for three days.[10] Mahoro stays by his side and tries to wake him but he remains unconscious, even after she brings him a maji kebab. Marito is woken from his coma when Mahoro has Kenichiro's bed wheeled into his room and he hears Kenichiro's name. He's later seen when Matakara apologises to Siguma Squad for what he did while under Ichiya's influence, and during the party at Chu Chu Chinese Restaurant, which both gangs attend.
