Description
Rock, inmate number 69, is incarcerated in Building Thirteen, Cell Thirteen of Nanba Prison following arrest for instigating an urban gang riot. His youth featured violence and aggression, leading to juvenile hall confinement marked by repeated escapes motivated by poor-quality food. During this period, he met Jyugo, who facilitated his prison escape. This act fostered Rock's deep indebtedness to Jyugo and initiated a shift in his demeanor. After their escape, Jyugo treated him to a restaurant meal, igniting Rock's profound appreciation for food and contributing to a significant mellowing of his personality. While Nanba Prison's high-quality Japanese cuisine deters escape attempts, Rock previously broke out of other institutions solely due to substandard food.
Physically, Rock possesses a tall, muscular build and lightly tanned skin. His purple hair is styled into a prominent red mohawk adorned with tribal decorations, beads, and feathers. A thick, jagged scar crosses the bridge of his nose, his nails are purple, and his inmate number, 69, is tattooed on his right forearm. He typically wears an orange inmate jumpsuit with short sleeves, often left unzipped to expose his chest, paired with dark brown boots.
Personality-wise, Rock exhibits loudness, impulsivity, pride, and a strong love for fighting, expressing confidence in his physical strength. He frequently challenges inmates and guards, viewing aggression as an effective problem-solving method. However, this reliance on physical prowess makes him susceptible to being outmaneuvered. Food represents social connection and happiness beyond mere sustenance. His simple-minded nature means the prospect of food effectively deters misbehavior. Rock displays gentleness and loyalty toward friends, particularly cellmates, and harbors a soft spot for animals, especially cats. His hobbies are eating and sleeping; he dislikes unappetizing things.
Rock possesses immense physical strength, ranking among the strongest inmates in his building though some guards surpass him. He also has the capacity to sense haunted objects and ghosts. During the Building 6 arc, he encountered his former butler and caretaker, V, now a prison guard. This reunion caused Rock discomfort, leading him to initially downplay their past association. He expressed irritation toward V's new master, Hakushaku, acknowledging Hakushaku reminded him of his own younger, brash self. Rock accurately deduced V's habit of digging graves for injured masters.
Later, Rock and guard Yamato Godai returned from Building 5 exhibiting unusual, silent, zombie-like behavior, attacking others indiscriminately. A talisman marked "control" was discovered on Rock's back, similar to those used in Building 5 to suppress inmate abilities. This talisman amplified his physical capabilities, allowing him to overpower the agile Jyugo with unusual ease. Significant effort was required by inmates and guards to subdue Rock. The incident implicated stolen talismans and hinted at a larger prison conspiracy.
Rock's name derives from the Rōmaji "Roku," combining the numbers "6" (Ro) and "9" (Ku), forming his inmate number 69. His favorite color is royal purple, his favorite food is donuts, and he can consume large quantities of food depending on the type.
