Marucho Marukura

* Far Past
* Bakugan Chronicles
* Char's Revenge
* A Long Journey, Part 2

Marucho Marukura is the youngest of the trio of Brawlers.

## Appearance

Marucho is very short, with light yellow hair shaped like a bow on top of his head and blue eyes. There is a black dot in the center of his forehead. He wears red-framed glasses and dresses in the blue and white colors of Aquas.

After joining the Front, Marucho changed into a combat uniform during his fight with Full Frontal: white shorts, a blue T-shirt, and a blue vest. During the war, he wore a special knight uniform.

## Personality

He is characterized as sacrificial, generous and kind. He is well-mannered and loyal to people, respects everyone and is ready to help. His test from Frosh was precisely to stop being such a “people pleaser” without self-realization. Marucho enjoys the joy and enthusiasm that his Brawlers and teammates (Preyas, Elfin) share with him. He is brave and strong when it comes to protecting those he loves. It is difficult for him to endure the betrayal of his close friends: Ren and Jake; he does not hesitate to cry from excess emotions in such cases.

Marucho has well-developed logical and strategic thinking: during the war with Gandelia, he proposes a deceptive maneuver to restore Nifia's second shield. Is it worth mentioning what knowledge you need to have to create virtual reality for Bakugan battles around the world. Marucho knows how to organize people, since without this, the Marukura Group would not have created Bakugan Interspace, and the armies of the royal knights would not have gone on the attack on his orders.

Unlike Full Frontal, Marucho was able to pass through the source on the way to the Sacred Sphere, granting a wish - he is pure in soul.

## Story

While the other children were having fun and playing games, Marucho, at the behest of his parents, studied. He was attended by private teachers of economics, statistics and other important disciplines in business, chemistry, and piano. His silent obedience lasted until he met the Brawlers and became part of the team. Then he “learned to think for himself, learned to fight and laugh and live to the fullest” (his own words). And unlike other Brawlers, he participated least in battles. Until the Bakugan Chronicles main event begins.

During these events, he will meet another Gundam pilot, Kamille. This is how he learned about the existence of parallel universes and about such mechs as Gundam. In an attempt to repeat the same Concept Shange that Kane used, he accidentally opened a passage to New Vestroia, which led to the current events. Marucho, along with Dan, went to save New Vestroia, becoming a member of the resistance front. At first he didn't have a partner, so he took the gauntlet and set off, where he found Elfin. He did not survive any of her trials, but fought Myleene to protect the Bakugan. After this battle, Elfin agreed to an alliance. He was still working on improvements to various Gundams at that time, and for this reason, he also had a hand in creating the V2 Gundam for Uso.

During the events of Char's Revenge, Marucho, working with Ren, led the Bakugan Interspace project. It was his face and welcoming speech that greeted the players at the entrance to the virtual space. However, at that moment, he did not even suspect that Judau also began working as a bookmaker, which is why he was considered a fraudster and was for some time banned from visiting virtual arenas and his surrounding territories. At some point, he offered newcomer Jake two digital Bakugan to choose from: Aranoth and Cordem. He later programmed his own digital Aquimos to talk, but this happened just when Marucho got the original Nifian Bakugan. At that moment in time, he learned that a certain Emperor Barodius had become a victim of the Dark Crusaders, and soon Full Frontal finished him off, with the desire to obtain the sacred sphere. From that moment on, a war began between the Bakugan and the Principality of Neo Zeon under the leadership of the Fake Char.

In Long Journey, Part 2, Marucho stepped away from managing the virtual space, transferred all control to the AI, and devoted himself to fighting in the team of Battle Brawlers. Meanwhile, he himself went to the 3rd dimension, where events with Baion and his Tartarus project were already taking place.

After all the events, he returned to his company, continuing to work on virtual arenas.
