Akua Jyuunoichi

Web Manga

Akua Jyuunoichi (Jyuunoichi Akua,十ノ老亜宮亜) is a supporting character in the Nanbaka Web Manga. As a member of the Zodiac Police, his position is the leader of Squad 11. He is a reference to Aquarius, one of the twelve Zodiac signs in astrology.

## Appearance

Akua is a dark-skinned and slim young man. He has blue hair and brown eyes.

## Personality

Akua is a confident kind of person: in his appearance in front of Kojiro, Ikkaku and the other people in the boat (in the arc Thunder Travels Through the Sea) he was showing a confident energy about catching the criminals that destroyed the facility that used sharks for experiments. Another moment where we see his confidence was when one of the people on the boat was trying to shoot him, Akua didn't show any signs of fear and was very sure about his defenses he had that protected him from being shot.

Besides his confidence, he is also the type of person that if he has a reason to do his job as a Zodiac Police member or if he has the motivation and mood to do so, he will stick up to the goal and won't give up about it. In his and his dad's first appearance and also in his battle against Kojiro, his reason for capturing the criminals is because someone from the group they're from, aka Shiki (also known as Team Elf), did something to a member from the Zodiac Police who also happens to be Akua's crush (Jenny Sandra), so Akua wants to fight and succeed with capturing Kojiro and Ikkaku so he could get revenge even if none of those two were the ones responsible for said action.

Akua is also shown to be stubborn, something that was shown with his fight with Kojiro when he was trying to have fun with his battle against Akua. At first, he insulted and only saw negatively what Kojiro is talking about, thinking that Kojiro's words of his dreams, beliefs and his reasons for being happy with his current life, despite that the organization he's a part of does cruel things such as humans experiments. By insulting he was saying that people who do such experiments are monsters and that he is just as guilty as them if he works with them, considering Kojiro's ideals as ridiculous and calling him an outlaw. Then later though, after the battles were over and him and Uoza were on their boat, Akua was in a more calm state and even brought up Kojiro's words — saying that Kojiro felt the same way as Ikkaku with valuing his own world more than the world of people. Akua also says that after hearing such words, he became unsure about how be should see the other partway through, questioning what he's fighting with.

Despite Akua's confidence and stubbornness, he also happens to show a softer, calm and more worried side when he was telling Kojiro about his adoptive father, Uoza, who took care of him after Akua was brought to the ZP's station when he was younger. Akua said he started calling him "dad" after a while because he helped him a lot, which shows that he feels close enough with the older man to call him dad. Past aside, he also shows a huge concerned face when seeing Uoza and Ikkaku having their battle, yet he lies and says he's not worried about him even though he actually does.

Akua is also pretty much a brave person, when Mei and Ido were talking to them and asking if they're a part of the Zodiac Police, Akua brought up the incident that happened with Jenny, not being afraid of the twins and was even willing to fight against Mei to get revenge, not being afraid of the confident maid-dressed man and how dangerous it might be.

## Background

Akua's biological father was a fisherman who died on the high seas, while his mother died of an illness a short period of time after he was born. He was taken to the Zodiac Police and there he was raised by Uoza Jyuunoji who took care of him as his own son, helping him and teaching him everything he knew.
