Out of all the characters in Bakugan I thought I'd draw a lot of, I never would have guessed I'd fall in love with Marucho of all people 🤣 On my, now 3rd, rewatch of Bakugan with my sister we talked about what we would like out of Marucho's character which made me excited to draw the weird kid 🤣 I would love it so much more if he acted as a little brother to the whole team, the secluded rich kid who turns into an annoying little gremlin who tags along. Now I have more of an appreciation for the blonde~

Remembering that Marucho have the alternative version of himself in the trail that only dedicates himself to being a good child

Me think , That monotone Choji but MS-1

" Because I think , therefore you are "

" You want to delete everything out of your head , correct ? "

" Then please let me help , and let turn back into a good child together once again "

" You end up being more savage due to bakugan battle aren't you ? "

" I won't hesitate to start a fight with myself , so please kindly shut up before I land the second punch onto your face "

choji "marucho" marukura-hansen, 17, 5'0'', he/him, gay, mostly norwegian (father is a quarter jp)

an old fashioned name for a new money boy. quiet, understated designer brands that he has other people get for him. hopefully his mature dress style makes him look older. his sneakers are actually white, i didn't just forget to color them.

surprisingly low maintenance, save his coffee addiction. eager to experience the real world with his friends.

compsci nerd, worked on the digital interface of bakugan. on meds for anxiety, and private tutors out the wazoo.

gains class consciousness.

dead fish eyes, always seems to be staring through you. physically addicted to caffeine, his pupils seem to lock onto coffee and only that.

Marucho’s nickname & the importance of it

Marucho’s full name is Choji Marukura (or Marukura Choji.) The name Choji contains the kanji 兆 which means “trillion” and 治 which means “govern,” which fits the position Marucho has been born into as the heir of a large family-owned conglomerate. The only people to call him by his given name are his parents (though, that is not the case in the English dub.)

This is showcased in S1EP7 when Dan and Runo introduce themselves to Marucho’s parents and Dan almost calls Marucho by his nickname.

On Marucho’s character page on the Japanese website for the Bakugan legacy series, you’ll find a sentence at the very end that stands out from the rest.

“He seems to dislike the name “Choji.”

How come? Why doesn’t Marucho like his given name? I’d say S1EP31 addresses that question, as well as provides extra context for who inspired him to come up with his own nickname: Dan.

Though this is absent in the English dub, Marucho’s reason for moving to Wardington (or Battle Town, Tokyo) is specifically to meet Dan. Marucho’s father tells Dan as much in S1EP7 and Marucho later confirms it when they’re alone.

As for why he dislikes his name, Marucho had to fight his past self during his trial. It was a version of himself that he couldn’t stand, because he hated remembering the days when he used to work hard to meet his parents’ expectations at the cost of his own happiness.

With that in mind, and seeing as how Marucho insisted on living in the same town as Dan so he could meet him, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Marucho created his own nickname as a way to distance himself from “Choji,” the obedient child who would do what his parents told him without question. It’s very likely that Dan influenced him in that regard, seeing as how Dan is the only other Brawler to have a nickname.

In fact, this is reinforced in S4EP11. The Brawlers are fractured and distant, Dan is missing and Interspace is in a dire state of disorder and chaos. It is then that Marucho’s father returns with a proposition; that Marucho tackles the problems inside Interspace as part of the Marukura company, rather than as a Brawler.

It’s pretty clear that although Marucho’s father allowed him to play Bakugan, he would much rather have Marucho return to his side as the future head of the Marukura family company.

With no one by his side and the Bakugan game no longer the way he remembered it to be, Marucho easily fell back into his old role and referred to himself as Choji instead of Marucho.

“Choji” is Marucho as nothing but the Marukura successor, the future head of the family who tries to suppress his wants for the sake of keeping his parents happy, while “Marucho” is the real him who loves Bakugan and loves his friends. In order to be Choji again, Marucho had to forget about the things dear to him that made him who he is. But try as he might, Marucho couldn’t forget about any of those things.

His friends and Bakugan helped shape his identity and so eventually, he expressed this to his father and stood his ground. And his father ultimately acknowledged that Bakugan had been a very positive influence towards his son’s growth as a person.

Marucho was saved from his circumstances by the Bakugan game and the Brawlers. And so in S4, it was his turn to keep the Brawlers together and protect the Bakugan game that they created.

Not as Choji Marukura, the successor, but as Marucho Marukura, the Aquos Battle Brawler.
