Description
Jin Magatsu, a 7th-grade student at Aibo Academy, serves as president of the "Naniwa Card Association," a club dedicated to Buddyfight gambling and card theft. He sports purple spiky hair with a red or pink streak, pale skin, and gray or green eyes, typically wearing a dark purple shirt, jacket, teal scarf, beige pants, and brown shoes. Initially driven by arrogance and self-interest or dice rolls, his perspective shifted dramatically after a pivotal duel against Gao Mikado. Using Gao's stolen deck but facing defeat, Jin recognized the value of trust over money, fostering loyalty to friends and a willingness to help others.
He competed in the ABC Cup, defeating Tetsuya Kurodake in the first round upon realizing his desire to surpass Gao, but lost to Zanya Kisaragi in the semi-finals. Later, he partnered with Tsurugi Takihara to investigate the organization Disaster, monitoring their communications. In the Gaen Cup, Jin formed Team Destiny with Noboru Kodo and Kazane Fujimiya to protect Gao, investigate the Dark Power, and thwart Disaster. He switched matches with Noboru to aid Kiri Hyoryu in freeing captured buddy monsters, expressing belief in redemption for those lost to darkness. During his duel against Rouga Aragami, Jin openly acknowledged his past fixation on money and the transformative impact of his fight with Gao, culminating in mutual respect despite his loss, which eliminated Team Destiny from the tournament.
His primary deck centers on Katana World's Skull Warrior attribute, featuring Evil in Heart, Yamigitsune as his Buddy monster. He temporarily used Gao's stolen deck during their initial confrontation. In later events, he adopted a new strategy focused on INV First Omni Beast Lord, Kage Ziun. Jin's recorded Buddyfight results include losses to Gao Mikado, Zanya Kisaragi, and Rouga Aragami, a win against Tetsuya Kurodake, and tag-match defeats alongside Suzuha Amanosuzu against Zanya and Tetsuya.
Key relationships reflect his development: he cooperated with Baku Omori to challenge Gao for Gao's growth, supported Kiri Hyoryu's redemption, and built alliances within Team Destiny. His actions consistently demonstrate a reformed perspective, prioritizing friendship and protection over personal gain.
