Gelatin (BFBRONPA)

Gelatin (ゼラチン, *Zerachin*) is a contestant of BFB's Have Cots, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in *BFBRONPA: Despair Island*. His title is the **Ultimate Gamer** (超高校級の「ゲーマー」 lit. *Super High School Level Gamer*).

## Appearance

The AI takes the appearance of the real-life Gelatin the same age he was during his time in BFB.

Gelatin appears to be lime-flavored gelatin. His main body is jade, and his bottom lighting is spring green.

## Personality

Gelatin normally has a quiet and sleepy disposition, but he becomes a lot more lively when discussing games and concentrates hard when playing. He has a number of unusual habits, such as dozing off while playing games and taking long pauses during his conversations to think about everything He wants to say. He sometimes even sleeps while standing and forgets to breathe when he's playing games. He also quite often uses gaming terms and references.

Gelatin is very calm and he once mentioned that he has never screamed. He often helps Firey during the Class Trials and provides important points. He can be stern and bluntly honest, even at times forgetting to take other people's feelings into consideration.

While Gelatin is extremely observant and analytical, he lacks knowledge on a variety of ordinary subjects due to the nature of his existence. For example, he doesn't know where milk comes from (he mentions that he knows how babies are made, though). He doesn't really understand how romance or love works, he is very curious about it. He also feels a bit uncomfortable around animals, because they're unpredictable and feel warm when touched, which is "a bit scary" in his opinion. He is occasionally a bit playful and tries to make jokes or play little pranks on Firey, though they're a bit weird and sometimes borderline creepy.

Gelatin usually ends his sentences with a negative note even though he actually means to compliment someone or cheering someone, such as "...I think", or "Maybe...". Firey once said that sometimes he wishes that Gelatin would end his positive sentence on a positive note. However, he truly does care about and wants to protect everyone. He dislikes killing more than anything and he gets very serious about the topic. He is the nicest towards Whack-a-mole and he is very understanding towards Pencil, even though her actions frustrate him.

While he is based on some of real Gelatin's traits, AI Gelatin differs from him in some ways. Unlike the real, he appears constantly sleepy and his way of speaking is much less natural sounding. As an AI he also appears unusually calm and unfazed, even during his own execution, which is very different from the real Gelatin's much more real and painful reaction. He also has her own identity as an AI created by Golf Ball, considering her his "mom" and Alter Ego and Whack-a-mole his siblings. Some of Gelatin's behavior also appears a bit childlike, most notably his handwriting and drawings that resemble ones of a young child, which could be a result of his being a relatively young AI. However, he matures throughout the course of the game and in the end, he even seems to be able to resist his programming, albeit just a little bit.

## Talent

### Ultimate Gamer

Gelatin is the Ultimate Gamer, a talented person that is very good at any game, and even plays the "crappy" ones. He always finds out how to enjoy any genre or game that he plays. He states that the sole goal of playing video games is to have fun, and not to just focus on winning or losing. However, Gelatin does have one genre that he can’t play very well: Dating simulators. Also, Gelatin tends to focus too much when playing video games, to the point that he sometimes forgets to sleep and even breathe.

## History

### BFBRONPA: Despair Island

#### Prologue - Welcome back to Dream Island!! Panic at the Heart-Throbbing School Trip!?

Gelatin stayed unusually calm in upheaval, such as when Zap-a-mole revealed himself and when Mono-Four took over the island from Zap-a-mole and began the Killing School Trip. He did not believe anyone would kill, however.

When Firey first sees him, he is deeply engrossed in a game at the Hotel Lobby, only stopping after Pencil calls him. He awkwardly introduces himself, Firey stating that he isn't very good at conversations. Pencil then says that Gelatin is still playing the game, to which he agrees and he also states that he needs to compose what he's going to say in his head. Gelatin then states he's tired, ending the conversation.

#### Chapter 1 - Imitational Despair

In the first chapter, Gelatin was worried about Mono-Four infiltrating the party that Lollipop arranged, so he stood guard outside the old hotel lodge alongside Whack-a-mole in order to keep Mono-Four out of it.

Gelatin encountered Coiny, who happened to walk by the lodge (though he suspected that Coiny actually did want to join the party). Because Gelatin was his alibi, knowing he did not enter the lodge, he was exonerated from murder suspicion. Gelatin also played an important role along with Snowball, discovering a space under the lodge which the culprit had used as a spot to commit the murder.

#### Chapter 2 - Sea and Punishment, Sin and Yoyal berries

In the second chapter, Gelatin attended the boys-only beach party, for which he brought ice cream and some board games to play. Gelatin was excited when Mono-Four gave them a new motive, namely *Dream Syndrome Murder Case*. He explained to Firey that he was a fan of the game series.

Gelatin as the Ultimate Gamer showed her ability to explain and help Firey find the game's True Ending by pressing the “Down button five times”, and with this, they discovered a disclaimer that the game was actually based on a real-life event.

#### Chapter 3 - Trapped by the Windy Air

In the third chapter, to avoid catching Despair Disease, Gelatin along with Flower, Snowball, Lighting and Pen moved to the motel on the third island.

Gelatin made a crucial discovery which heavily altered the scene of the crime. The black curtains in the meeting room at the hospital were used by the culprit to make it seem like it was at the live house.

#### Chapter 4 - Do Ultimate Robots Ever Dance?

In the fourth chapter, Gelatin and the others investigate the fourth island, riding the roller coaster and finally getting trapped by Mono-Four in the Funhouse.

Gelatin stopped Fiery from entering the Final Dead Room. With the help of Pencil, Gelatin and Firey were able to deduce the culprit.

#### Chapter 5 - Smile at Despair in the Name of Hope

Gelatin was revealed to have been the culprit in the fifth chapter. In an attempt to stop a fire, Gelatin lied and said that he accidentally killed Pencil, due to his efforts to reveal the traitor. Gelatin told Firey that he was the traitor and he was forced to prove this to everyone.

They voted for Gelatin relying on Pencil's life, and it was revealed that he was the true murderer, even though Pencil was trying to keep the traitor alive as they were not influenced by despair. Gelatin and Whack-a-mole were executed afterwards.
