**Dai Bo** (鸡大保, Jī dà bǎo) is one of the main characters of *Scissor Seven*. He found Seven on a beach 2 years ago and saved his life, but because of this, he's now covered in medical bills that he has to pay off.

## Character history

### At the Chicken Farm

Dai Bo used to live in a chicken farm, and was fated to be killed and eaten by humans. His friend Da Fei didn't want to become food and wanted to ensure a better future for his son Xiao Fei, so decided to try fighting against King Pheasant in the cockfighting ring. Dai Bo tried to dissuade Da Fei thinking he had no chances to win, But Da Fei went anyway saying that if he didn't try he'd never know if he can do it.

Enraged by Da Fei being killed despite having won the fight, Dai Bo swears to avenge him and fights King Pheasant himself. He defeats him by stealing the doping drug King Pheasant used to cheat against Da Fei. At this, King Pheasant warns him that even as a fighting chicken his fate won't change and he will eventually be eaten.

Dai Bo took the farm and cockfighting ring owner hostage to force him to free all the chickens on his farm. He then leaves with Xiao Fei to Chicken Island where it's rumored that the citizens there don't eat chicken.

### Meeting Seven

Once on Chicken Island, Xiao Fei notices a young man washed up on a beach, slowly dying. Dai Bo, bitter against humanity, initially doesn't care and wants to leave him to his fate. Xiao Fei, on the other hand, stays close to the person until Dai Bo gives in and ends up rescuing him from the beach. He carries him to a doctor of exceptional skill and Seven lives, but Dai Bo is now covered in medical debts. Realizing the person he rescued suffers from amnesia and lacks any memories, he decides to manipulate him into thinking he was an old friend and calls him Seven. He decides to use him to make his money back and tricks him into becoming a killer. Dai Bo finds it amusing that he'll be the one to push humans to kill one another like they used to force chickens to kill one another back on the farm.

### As Seven's Manager

Dai Bo gives his invention, the GaiBa Egg, to Seven and instructs him on how to become a killer. He also introduces him to Xiao Fei and tells him to use him to flee the scene when he needs it. He soon realizes that Seven is useless as a killer as he always loses, can't bring himself to kill most of his targets, and even saves them. Xiao Fei also seems to become more attached towards Seven as time goes on.

### Prince of Stan's Attack

In Stan's attempted invasion, he first tries to run away on a boat with Xiao Fei and Seven. He Dachun buys Seven's services in order to protect the island, and Seven accepts the money. Dai Bo warns him that he'll die if he accepts this job and he shouldn't do it. Seven tells him the very words that Da Fei had told him before going to fight King Pheasant.

In shock at realizing how similar Seven is to Da Fei, he returns to him the Thousand Demon Daggers. He also confesses that he lied to him and manipulated him into becoming a killer for his own interest. This forces Dai Bo to question himself and renounce his hatred of humanity.

### King Pheasant Strikes Back

Two years after he left the farm, King Pheasant kidnaps Seven and Xiao Fei and uses them as leverage to force Dai Bo into a fight against him. He explains that for two years he was experimented on and became a living weapon for Stan's army. He's positive that Dai Bo can't defeat him as last time as he could only retaliate thanks to the transformation triggered by the doping drug. Dai Bo surprises him by showing he trained to be able to transform even without the drug, but King Pheasant is still much stronger than him. He hates that Dai Bo became softer towards humans when he previously swore he would take revenge on humanity and resent his happiness.

Thankfully, Seven and Xiao Fei come to his rescue and defeat King Pheasant together. Dai Bo stops them before they decide to beat him up and tells them to go home, their grudges gone.

### Red-Tooth's attack

During Red-Tooth's attack on Chairman Jiang he tries to fight him off after he injures Seven and Xiao Fei. But even transformed he's no match for the killer and he is badly injured. Seeing this, Seven realizes he can't stay weak and ignorant of his past and accepts his memories back.

## Abilities

### Management Skills

Dai Bo manages Seven's business, finding him contracts and manages the hair salon finances. He's a cunning chicken and has a great deal of knowledge.

### Inventor

Dai Bo made the GaiBa Egg which allows its user to transform into something from their imagination. One could wonder why he never sold his invention considering how useful it is in a world full of assassins.

### Transformation

Transformation is an ability that makes him much faster, stronger and also changes his appearance to make him look more intimidating. He first triggers it during his fight against King Pheasant when he injects himself with the DX Enhancer. After some training, he now can transform himself at will, but for only a limited amount of time before reverting to his old form.

## Appearance

Being a blue chicken who can speak, Dai Bo is seen wearing a yellow tie and black leggings with black shaded sunglasses. He got these sunglasses after swearing to avenge the death of Da Fei. He also uses his wings as hands, like Da Fei.

## Personality

At the beginning of the series, Dai Bo hated humanity because of his past on a chicken farm, and he manipulated Seven into thinking he is an old friend of his. He also convinced Seven to become an assassin. However, after he witnessed Seven's spirit to defeat the Prince Of Stan, he realizes how similar Seven is to Da Fei's spirit to defeat King Pheasant and save his son from being eaten. After this moment, he decides to rethink his hatred for humanity.

Dai Bo can sometimes be strict.

## Trivia

* In a scene from Season 2 where Seven is doing laundry on the roof, blue t-shirts with ties on them are shown hanging in the corner, in the same color and design as Dai Bo's tie. While this may be some sort of inside joke by the studio, it also may imply that Dai Bo wears a blue t-shirt with a tie-on it, instead of only a tie as most would perceive.

* In Killing Underpants Man, Seven says Dai Bo likes collecting ties.
