Jackie Iaukea

(ジャッキー・イヤウケア, Jakkī Iyaukea?, lit. Jackie Iaukea)

“Looking for a fight? Hah, bring it on! I've never lost to a man of Japan! And if you think a sumo's all brawn and no finesse, you're in for a wake-up call!”

—Jackie Iaukea

**Jackie Iaukea** is a character from the Present Day chapter, The Strongest. A former sumo wrestler who embraced the world of mixed martial arts, he is one of the six masters faced by Masaru Takahara in his journey to become the world's greatest warrior.

## Profile

### Appearance

Jackie is a very large man, even bigger than Hong Hakka, and wears an open yellow and red aloha shirt with a yellow hat and blue and black pants. He is slightly tan and has mid length black hair. He wields a ukulele on his back.

### Personality

Jackie is a very passionate fighter. He takes pride in his background as a sumo wrestler and enjoys taunting those who may underestimate him. Despite having renounced the art of sumo, Jackie harbors some small regret for failing to achieve his dream of becoming a yokozuna.

## History

### Present Day: The Strongest

Once a sumo wrestler, Jackie Iaukea was renowned a once-in-a-generation talent. In spite of his raw strength, he was unable to attain the highest rank of yokozuna. Soon after, he quit sumo wrestling and adopted his own formidable fighting style, incorporating elements of sumo. Jackie's flurrious Aloha Slap and Mano Toss gives Masaru great pause as the two square off. However, if pushed to his limit, Jackie may unleash his greatest wrath on the boy. Upon defeat, an impressed Jackie states that Masaru himself may have a chance at yokozuna if he puts on some weight.

Soon after his fight with Masaru, Jackie is murdered in combat by Odie O'Bright, who sought to become the greatest warrior through the path of death. Calling upon Jackie's strength, Masaru fights O'Bright and strikes him down, avenging his death.

## Strategy

Unlike any of the other masters, Jackie Iaukea has *three* techniques which may be learned from him. His first two, Aloha Slap and Mano Toss, he uses freely, and may be learned by getting as close to him as possible. Aloha Slap is a very practical technique to learn with its range, while Mano Toss is less useful.

The last technique is one that Jackie keeps especially secret: Worldbreaker's Wrath, Masaru's ultimate technique. To bait him into using it, you must incapacitate his arms and legs through Tula Han's Armlock and Cross Heel Hold respectively. With no other options, Jackie will let his fury boil over and unleash a wide-range, earth-sundering divebomb. The effects can be devastating, so be ready to heal up with Focus.

### Original

Jackie is relatively tame compared to the other fighters. He uses his abilities rather fast and both of his attacks can be gotten sometimes immediately. It is advised to use Mano Toss on him to beat him faster as it inflicts the most damage on him of all attacks you would have at the time if he was chosen first.

### Remake

Fitting for a sumo wrestler, Jackie possesses formidable strength, but subpar speed; his charge rate so slow and attack range so limited that Masaru may literally run circles around him. Though resistant to Martial techniques, his weakness to Agile moves means that, by virtue of starting out with Rolling Wheel Kick, Masaru will always begin at an advantage with Jackie.

Contrary to what may be expected, Jackie's most dangerous technique is none of his learnable moves, but his basic Seize. Seize may be used at the same range of his two normal moves, and can easily carve away more than two thirds of Masaru's HP should all three of its hits connect, with no charge time. This risk can be mitigated though the employment of Focus and the Celestial Palm to alter both fighters' Evasion and Accuracy.

## Trivia

* His name and appearance are likely based off King Curtis Iaukea, a Hawaiian pro wrestler who is mostly known as "The Master" in the Dungeon of Doom WCW event of the 90's.
* He is also likely based on Konishiki Yasokichi, a non-Japanese sumo wrestler known for being the first foreigner to reach the second best rank of ōzeki.
