Jintaro Tsuji, Seleção No. 2 identified by his signature toque, initially collaborates with fellow Seleção Daiju Mononobe and Ryo Yuki, though their partnership's specifics are undefined. He displays profound disinterest in Mr. Outside's game, openly wishing for its swift conclusion and claiming never to have used his initial 10 billion yen. Following the original series, Tsuji actively deploys his Seleção resources to engineer Akira Takizawa's transformation into the global icon "Air King." He commissions Juiz to blanket global media with Takizawa's image via posters and promotions, exploiting Takizawa's role in halting missile attacks. Simultaneously, Tsuji orchestrates a rumor campaign alleging Takizawa is the illegitimate son of deceased Prime Minister Seijiro Iinuma. He manipulates public records to change Takizawa's surname to "Iinuma," igniting media frenzy and political turmoil. Tsuji's methods epitomize media manipulation within the narrative. He meticulously shapes public perception, constructing Takizawa as either a martyr or a potential terrorist to steer the narrative. His actions seem motivated by a desire to accelerate the game's end, though his ultimate goals beyond this remain unclear. During the climactic story arc spanning the films, Mononobe attacks the physical servers housing Juiz. Tsuji's access is abruptly cut off when the truck carrying his assigned Juiz unit explodes, eliminating his capacity to participate further. His character primarily illustrates the power of media within the narrative's societal framework through calculated image crafting and rumor dissemination.
