Jin Bubaigawara

Jin Bubaigawara also known as **Twice** was a Villain affiliated with the League of Villains and was part of its Vanguard Action Squad.

He and the rest of his team served as the main antagonists of the Forest Training Camp Arc.

He later became one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front, an organization formed from the remnants of the League and the Meta Liberation Army.

Twice also served as the commander for the "**Vanguard Action Tactics Regiment: Black**" of the aforementioned organization.

He died in battle during the war against the Paranormal Liberation Front.

## Appearance

Jin Bubaigawara was an adult man with blond hair and gray-blue eyes.

He had a large scar splitting his forehead from an incident in his past.

He had visible traces of facial hair over his mouth and at the bottom of his chin.

His civilian attire consisted of a blue-collared shirt over a white tank top along with a normal pair of pants and boots.

Twice's villain costume was a black and gray bodysuit that covered his body completely, along with gray boots.

The upper half of his signature mask was gray with white eye sockets while the lower half-covering his mouth was black.

Twice also sported red and green wristbands that he stored his measuring tapes in.

The majority of Twice's suit was black other than the section over his lower legs and the gray designs that appear to form a "T" and "W" over his chest.

The "T" is formed by a horizontal line crossing his upper torso and a vertical line ascending from the abdomen.

Another line snakes down to his lower torso and splits down to his thighs, which then ascends to his hips forming a "W".

## Personality

Twice had a very unique personality: explosive, lively, and originally having a very comedic demeanor.

He enjoyed assuming dramatic poses and eccentric facial expressions.

Twice constantly contradicted himself, making one statement in one voice and then immediately saying the opposite in another voice.

For example, he insulted Dabi and then praised him in the following sentence.

This was part of a mental instability Twice would embrace as a villain.

He believed understanding your own identity is the most important aspect in life, an understanding he lost during the 9-day conflict of his clone left him unsure if he was the original or not.

Jin's identity crisis drove him to insanity, changing his overbearing and lazy previous persona into his manic villainous attitude.

Without his mask, Jin suffered more heavily from something akin to dissociative identity disorder: while masked, Twice contradicted himself and acted completely natural about it, but without it his split personalities argued with each other.

He would go into a panic and threaten to "split" until he put his mask back on and become "whole".

During his confrontation with Skeptic's clones, Jin was revealed to have been a lonely individual who created clones to compensate for friendship.

He joined the League of Villains because they accepted his craziness and made him feel comfortable in his own skin.

His desperation to find friends lead him to trust others very quickly.

As a side effect, this also left him vulnerable to betrayal and emotionally devastated when people like Overhaul or Hawks turned on him.

When injured by the fake clones Skeptic created, he moved past his trauma after realizing that he was the original and didn't hesitate to protect Himiko Toga.

However, his clones still displayed conflict over who was the original, although they were willing to work past it for their goals.

It is shown that even after conquering his inner demons that Jin still occasionally experienced relapses, suggesting his multiple split personality issues.

Despite his still fragile mindset, Twice remained resolute in his loyalty to his friends.

Rejecting any offer of support from the heroes who threaten them and ultimately giving his life protecting the League; in his final moments, he was content with his fate as he had protected his friends at the end.

## Skills & Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Twice was a fairly capable villain and a major asset to the League of Villains. His Quirk was very effective in a supporting role, as he could use his power to create reinforcement for both himself and his allies in battle. Tomura Shigaraki claims that Twice's Quirk is a key piece to the League's plans. Overhaul and, later, the Meta Liberation Army, wanted to recruit Twice in order to get a hold of his unique Quirk. Other than his Quirk proficiency, Twice was also a skilled acrobat with impressive speed and reaction time, completely evading an ice wave from Shoto Todoroki, one of U.A. High School's most promising students. Having used his abilities for widespread burglary and theft, Twice became one of the government's most wanted criminals. Even Hawks, the number two Pro Hero, believed Twice to be the most dangerous of Shigaraki's lieutenants, and was one of the main reasons he wanted to kill him during the war.

## Quirk

**Double**: Jin's Quirk granted him the ability to create an exact duplicate of anything, living or not. In order to duplicate something, he needed to know the exact measurements and characteristics. He was limited to only two duplications at a time. The duplicates were not as durable as the original; the second duplicate being even less durable than the first. When Twice created duplicates of a people, he had no control over the clones because they had their own autonomy; their personalities and abilities being completely identical to the original. Creating doubles of himself allowed him to bypass his two duplicate limit, since a duplicate of a person would possess the same Quirk as the original. He was initially unwilling to duplicate himself due to traumatic experiences involving his own clones, though he eventually overcame this. The clones didn’t disappear, instead they disintegrated into a mud-like substance after taking a certain degree of damage. According to Giran, this Quirk gave Twice the potential to take down entire countries.

## Super Moves

* **Infinite Doubles: Sad Man's Parade**: Jin creates clones of himself, then the clones create clones of themselves, then those clones create clones of themselves. This cycle of exponential growth continues, resulting in thousands of clones of Jin.

## Weapons

* **Costume**: Twice's villain costume was worn by him mainly to help preserve his mental well-being, as wearing his costume and keeping his face covered kept his split personalities from clashing.

* **Measuring Tape**: Twice kept measuring tape in both of his wristbands. He used them to collect measurements for his cloning and for combat. The tape is extremely sharp and can be used as a weapon, being enough to cut clean through solid ice.

* **Knife**: Twice and his doubles sometimes utilized a knife in combat, the first instance being when he and his clones fought and killed each other using one, with one of them slicing his forehead. The last instance was when he sent a clone to save Toga and Mr. Compress from being captured by a hero by stabbing them from behind, at the same moment when he was fatally stabbed by Hawks.
