Description
Chocolove McDonell, also known as Joco in some adaptations, is an African American shaman from New York City. Born on October 2, 1985, he witnessed his parents' murder on Christmas Day in 1989, driving him into the violent Shaft Gang. His life shifted when he encountered Orona, an elderly shaman who taught him to transform pain into humor and shamanic skills. After his former gang killed Orona, Chocolove dedicated himself to spreading laughter as a healing force in her honor.
Initially sporting a shaved head and street attire, his appearance evolved to include an Afro, a scar from his parents' murder, and traditional South American-inspired battle garments gifted by Orona. Following self-imposed blindness as atonement for past violence, his heightened senses allowed him to detect enemies through smell and spatial awareness.
Chocolove integrates spirits into his body for combat, wielding Mic the Jaguar—a guardian ghost inherited from Orona—and Pascual Abaj, an ancient Incan spirit acquired during Hell training. These enable Over Soul techniques like Jaguarman transformation, wind manipulation, and erosion of attacks. His signature moves, "Gags of Wind" and "Ayers Rock Sunrise," exploit spirits' vulnerabilities to laughter. After Hell training, his furyoku reserves reached 197,500, ranking him strongest among the Five Elemental Warriors.
In the Shaman Fight tournament, he joined Team "The Ren" with Tao Ren and Horokeu Usui. Key battles included defeating Peyote’s controlled spirits and confronting Thalim in the Plants of Mu, where he eroded plant-based assaults using the Spirit of Wind. Flashbacks revealed guilt over killing Camel Muntzer, which later motivated revenge by Redseb and Seyram Muntzer. Interactions with allies like Yoh Asakura and Ren showcased his evolution from cynical gang leader to loyal protector. Post-tournament, he supported the final confrontation against Hao.
His narrative concluded with a focus on redemption, relentlessly delivering jokes to honor Orona despite their poor reception. His design maintained exaggerated features and culturally inspired attire across media, though adaptations occasionally adjusted elements like lip coloration. Balancing comedic relief and combat prowess, he bridged lightheartedness and the series’ darker themes.
