Description
Jun Guevaru, alias "Mr. Second" or "The Second," is a fictional South American character. His name can be written as "純・ゲバル" using the Japanese kanji for "pure." Approximately 25 years old with black hair and a muscular physique, his visual design draws inspiration from Che Guevara, though this version inhabits an alternate universe and is significantly younger.
Formerly a pirate, Guevaru later founded his own sovereign nation. His radical political philosophy, defined by strong anti-capitalist and specifically anti-United States sentiments, led to his incarceration in Arizona State Prison. This resulted from an incident where he broke into George Bosch's home and threatened his family after Bosch considered aggressive military action against Guevaru's nation.
In prison, he holds the epithet "The Second," denoting his status as the second inmate granted special privileges due to the authorities' fear of him. While his privileges—better meals and guards ignoring minor infractions like stealing cigarettes or skipping lines—fall short of fellow inmate Biscuit Oliva's (lacking a private cell or library), they starkly contrast the lethal force applied to other prisoners for violations.
Guevaru exhibits extreme confidence, pride, and occasional arrogance in his fighting abilities, never doubting himself. He possesses high intelligence and formidable leadership skills, proven by uniting a nation and repeatedly challenging the US government. He adheres to a harsh personal discipline and code; he could have escaped through the front gate but chose to dig out instead, motivated by a desire to avoid humiliating the prison guards and security forces. After escaping, he returned to his homeland.
He is a muscular young man with shoulder-length black hair, typically wearing a bandana. Outside prison, he dresses in army green shirts and pants or a black tank top. While incarcerated, he wears the standard orange prisoner uniform. In combat, he often removes his bandana and shirt, later applying war paint made from dirt to his face after performing his "opening the jar of wind" ritual.
Guevaru's combat abilities are exceptional. He is one of only three living individuals described as "more powerful than a machine gun." Trained by his grandfather in Mukakure-ryuu Ninjutsu ("No-Cover Style Ninjutsu"), a discipline emphasizing bare-handed combat against all weapons, he can kill opponents with a single strike. His feats include defeating armed adversaries while held at gunpoint and overpowering multiple skilled fighters simultaneously.
His notable techniques include:
* **Harite**: A powerful sumo-style clap. Against the "Self-Styled First," its air pressure ruptured the opponent's eardrum. Guevaru then used his own twisted hair to penetrate the ear canal and damage the cochlea, causing permanent imbalance.
* **Ippon Ken**: A one-knuckle fist strike used against Biscuit Oliva.
* **Core Hardness**: A defensive technique also employed against Oliva.
Significant actions within the prison include:
* Challenging a sumo wrestler in the cafeteria, initially offering him a pistol and using a crotch kick, then defeating him in a formal sumo match in the prison sports hall.
* Encountering three members of the "Mouth" group after they defeated Iron Michael. He distracted one opponent with urine before delivering an uppercut that shattered teeth and sent the man flying into a searchlight beam.
* Challenging Biscuit Oliva to a fight in the prison's central area, with the rule that both must hold onto the same piece of cloth; the loser would be the one who let go first. Despite enduring powerful punches from Oliva and showcasing resilience, Guevaru was ultimately defeated, fighting passionately motivated by his impoverished homeland.
Following his escape, an image surfaced of an official banknote from his nation bearing the Latin alphabet spelling "Guevaru," confirming the preferred romanization of his surname.
