* Jiku comes from the katakana spelling of "shark" (シャーク ''shāku'' or more precisely, ''shiyāku''), dropping the middle syllable and vowel extender and adding an accent to the first. Logical romanisation, as usual, suffers from it as ジ sounds more like a sliding English "ji" instead of the more logical "zi".

Prime cartoon

[edit]
Jigu only appears as an actual character in the Arms Micron Theater segments of the Japanese broadcast of Prime. Technically, he appears in the main cartoon any time Dreadwing uses his blaster, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.
Voice actor: Masami Iwasaki (Japanese)

Alongside Zamu, Gura and a bunch of Nojis, Jigu combined with Hades under the belief that doing so would result in a really powerful combination. Once Ida pointed out that any combination involving Hades wouldn't really be any stronger than Hades was to begin with, he realized he wasn't gaining anything from the experience and detached from the bat.

Jigu is covered in 5mm posts and holes as part of the Arms Micron gimmick, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".
As a "Mystic" crystal type, his main combination is with Dago and Magi as the Astro Blaster Super Combo Weapon.
He was only available packed in with the Voyager Dreadwing toy, coming out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. His extra deco is provided by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet he shares with Dreadwing.

  • Jigu's ID number was never announced on TakaraTomy's site. Rather, it comes from the tree his parts are on.
