Description
Jou Fukairi (also spelled Joe Fukairi) appears exclusively in the anime adaptation as a major supporting character. He is one of the Seven Legendary B-Ders, wielding a customized orange Iron Odin B-Daman equipped with a Power Long Barrel and a Panzer Faust Crash Weapon, typically using dark orange marbles in battle.
Physically, Jou possesses olive green hair and green eyes, with his fringe bangs covering the right side of his face. He wears a yellow polo shirt with a red necktie under an orange fringe jacket, olive green short pants, and white cowboy-style boots.
His personality is kind, easygoing, and notably flirtatious. He deeply believes in superstition and fate, interpreting events like meetings and battles as destiny, leading others to see him as eccentric. Jou frequently involves himself in others' affairs, earning him the nickname "Meddler" or "Busybody" (よけなおせっかい). He is highly skilled in skiing and gambling.
Jou debuts by intervening in a dispute between two B-Shots, demonstrating his skill. He first appears significantly during the World Crash Grand Prix, defeating Teruma Kamioka in the quarterfinals. However, debris from Teruma's marble injures him, forcing his withdrawal. While recovering, nursed by Maria, he experiences love at first sight and temporarily leaves his companions, including Hitto, to pursue the relationship.
He later rejoins Hitto's group for the Conference of the World Crash Cup Finals, announcing this tournament as his final battle due to his impending marriage to Maria. They marry in "a wedding fit for two B-Ders." Post-marriage, Maria permits Jou to rejoin the Seven Legendary B-Ders to confront Saionji Konzern alongside Hitto.
Key events showcasing his traits include guiding Hitto's group through a snowy mountain, interpreting their meeting as fate because he held playing cards featuring Jacks and the number seven. He punches Jubee Sanada for scolding a pet crow that saved Jubee's life, later expressing gratitude upon Jubee's apology. During a haunted house tournament challenge, he expresses regret about participating but resolves to dedicate his victory to Maria.
His family name "Fukairi" translates to "Go deep," reflecting his tendency to involve himself deeply in situations, while "Jou" means "passion." He is the eldest of the Seven Legendary B-Ders and the last introduced in the anime.
