Description
Earth Walker represents the Yo-kai Hero transformation of Jinpei Jiba, activated when possessed by Mikettio via the UR Watch within the "Y School Heroes" storyline. This cat-like form features a dark gunmetal gray body, glowing cyan/lime green eyes visible behind black glasses, and two tails tipped with cyan and magenta flames. The standard appearance includes a white sleeveless high-collar jacket zipped to cover the mouth as a mask, featuring gray trim and cyan/magenta stripes, plus plated arm sleeves, baggy pants, magenta/gray rollerblades, and a bag attached to the pants leg.

Following specialized training under Master Zazel, Jinpei unlocks the enhanced armored Earth Walker NOA form. This evolution integrates Little Kommander Ace as armor for significantly increased defensive capability. Visually, NOA removes the leg bag and alters the jacket to a white-and-blue sleeveless design with white arm covers bearing gray/pink lines. The mouth-covering segment becomes blue with pink/light blue lines, an extra fringe appears on the head, and the original pants and skates are retained.

In combat, Earth Walker utilizes high-speed roller-skate maneuvers and a yo-yo. Signature techniques encompass "Roller Dash," "Memorial Jump," "Dynamic Cat End," "Granzort Cat Sky Drive," and "Back Dropper Nyaos." The NOA form retains techniques like "Dynamic Cat End" and "Granzort Cat Sky Drive." Distinct songs accompany transformations: ♪Y! Y! Trinity!♪ for the base form and ♪N! O! A! Ultimate!♪ or ♪N! O! A! Armored!♪ for NOA.

Earth Walker plays pivotal roles in key events: transforming to repel DG Trooper forces, including Pit Bull, protecting allies; traveling back in time using Bluepon's memory powers via a command medal during Elzemekia's temporal disruption to prevent a Grey Agent from assassinating a younger Ranto Kirigakure; culminating in a battle against the crow-fusion Crowman, defeated using a blade technique to alter history; later confronting Elzemekia in the present and overpowering her ally Deep Shadow Galaxy before Mazera halts her transformation into Zodiaraia.

Background elements note Jinpei's reincarnation from the Yo-kai Jibanyan, a connection not affecting the transformation mechanics. Earth Walker appears in the "Y School Heroes Movie," though specific plot details are unelaborated. Other media appearances classify Earth Walker as a Rank ZZ Yo-kai of the Brave tribe in "Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble" and a Rank Sho, Wind-attribute Yo-kai in "Yo-kai Sangokushi: Kunitori Wars."

The name "Earth Walker" playfully references Luke Skywalker, aligning with the story's space themes. "NOA" is an acronym for "Nurarihyon's Official Authorization."
