Genocide Jack

Description \ Bio

Genocide Jack, who is also known as Genocide Jill, and as Genocider Sho in the original Japanese version, is a student by proxy in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant by proxy of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is the Ultimate Murderous Fiend, though it is unknown if this was given officially by Hope's Peak or is a self-given talent. She later returns as one of the main protagonists in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls alongside Komaru Naegi and her alter Toko Fukawa. Genocide Jack's appearance is nearly identical to Toko's since they share the same body. However, some features differ: her irises expand and become red, and she gains (or possibly displays) an abnormally large tongue over a mouthful of sharp teeth. She also tends to make wild, exaggerated expressions. Her forehead is a lot more reddish. According to Jack's reference art, she has a container for her scissors attached to her right thigh. On her left leg, she carves a tally of the number of her victims, approximately 37. In Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, her appearance differs from Toko with Genocide Jack's hair being more messy, and the red eyes and long tongue. She also wears purple thigh-high socks and darker high-heeled Mary Janes. Despite being a bloodthirsty and potentially very dangerous serial killer, Genocide Jack is mostly portrayed as comic relief in the Danganronpa series. She laughs a lot and sometimes pretends to be serious only to reveal that she is just joking. Unlike Toko, Genocide Jack is very loud and outgoing. During Chihiro Fujisaki's murder trial she reveals everything about herself. She obsesses over Byakuya Togami, calling him "Master" in the English version. In the Japanese version, she uses honorifics such as “-sama” which indicates that she has a submissive side - as this honorific is used primarily in addressing people much higher in rank than oneself. She is quite lewd at times, not hesitant to harass Aoi Asahina over her figure or make inappropriate remarks to other characters. Jack is a self-proclaimed fujoshi and says that she only kills cute boys who 'turn her on'. She also seems to like yuri, though she says that she's not into girls. She has also been portrayed with both sadistic and masochistic traits. She has a habit of giving excessively goofy nicknames to others; for example, she calls Makoto Naegi "Big Mac", "Mahkyutie" and "Macoco Chanel." and calling the late Chihiro "Cherry", Kiyotaka "Tick Tock" and Hifumi "Huffy". It is revealed in the final chapter of the first game that although Toko had her memories stolen, Jack still remembers because the two alters share the same knowledge, but have separate memories. When shown the images of the outside world, Jack identifies it as the aftermath of “The Tragedy”. Furthermore, it's revealed in Chapter 4 of Danganronpa Another Episode that she shares the same emotions and feelings with her alter and thus their relationships with their peers are shared between them. Jack occasionally has a much more serious side in Danganronpa Another Episode. According to the limited artbook, "her attitude can switch between serious and crazy in an instant." She quickly nicknames Komaru "Dekomaru" and enjoys messing with her playfully, but doesn't seem to have any actual interest in her. In fact, at first, she is annoyed with Komaru's trust towards a serial killer such as herself and has no interest in friendship, being angered by the mere suggestion. However, she eventually develops a softer side for Komaru and considers her a friend, being willing to protect her, listen to her and consider her opinions. She is also seen to have a respectful side for her alter, as she feels she has no right to accept Komaru's apology on Toko's behalf. The friendship with Komaru has had a positive effect on both Jack and Toko. By the end of Danganronpa Another Episode and Danganronpa 3, it's implied that Jack has calmed down and doesn't kill handsome men anymore, only using her skills for good and to fight against enemies. During Chapter 4 of Danganronpa Another Episode, there is also a moment in which Toko is uniquely aware of what is happening even though Jack currently had the control, which may imply that the alters have slightly begun to integrate.
