Jigumo releases massive amount of gossamers
out of both his hands to entangle enemy.
He retrieves his gossamers to weave later,
of course.
Jigumo has reddish tan skin, and a large
Buddhist pedestal symbol in his chest. He
is as thinly built as Marquis de Hentai.
His large circular eyes are all in artificial-looking
red. He can exude tenacious gossamers out
of his fingertips to immobilize enemies or
to hang himself down from walls and ceilings.
Like Hataraki, he is one of non-humanoid
clan fairies who were hired to defend Hypnotic
City. He had been a resident of Hypnotic
City from days prior to the war. Among all
characters, Jigumo is the only one who actually
was born and grew up in Hypnotic City.
Among the defenders whom Sumeragi hired for
no reason beyond to buy time before the Dreamdiver's
dreamdive, Jigumo attained a leader-like
status, and he once even captures Yumemashougun.@Jigumo
holds his unique view of life which focuses
on self-longevity and safety of others, and
steadily decreases casuality count by clever
use of his gossamers in midst of mad circumstance
called Hypnotic City Defense Wars.
Jigumo is the young owner of Widowhunter,
the large tailoring chainstore which covers
entire Fairyland with its branches. Jigumo
merchandises clothes which are woven out
of gossamers that Black widow clansmen exude.
Jigumo is known for his politeness toward
female clients. He is notable by his unique
teeth-grinning smile. He speaks a lot. In
Japanese, his speech always end by "deyaansu!".
He usually wear hakamas, the Japanese traditional
formal fit. He always has discount ticket
of his tailoring store with him, which he
tries to hand to anyone for advertisement
purpose, even if such person is a stranger
to him.
Before the Hypnotic City Defense Wars, Iroyume/Akagane/Hagane
concealed a transmitter somewhere in Hypnotic
City, then Jigumo picked up one and put it
on his face. Careless access through this
transmitter may cause Hagane's inventions
to act unexpectedly.
About drawing :
Thick strands of gossamers wrap around his arms, resembling
bandage. His hakamas are separate ones.
He wears "kutsu", boots worn by
11th century Japanese.
Biggest difference between Jigumo and its
model is his pedestal-like pattern on his
breast.
From designer :
Though Jigumo sounds like a Spiderman, he
is actually based on Red Eye, the boss in
a fighting game called Last Bronx.
Jigumo is quite bent for a subsidiary character.
I initially considered his costume to be
like that of dark elf who appears in Capcom
D&D game, but later chose current style,
who looks more traditional Japanese. His
speeches are influenced by womanish office
chief in the manga Nazeka Shosuke. The relevance
to Choi Bonge in King of Fighters game is
purely coincidental.
Kamako, Hataraki and Jigumo all lack abilities
to fly by wing. I subtly expressed prejudice
that humanoid clans have toward non-humanoid
clans through them.
