Jackknife Dragon (character)

''This article is about the character. For the card, see Jackknife Dragon.''

"Jackknife Dragon", real name "Findar the 100th", or simply "Jack" is a character in the anime/manga of Future Card Buddyfight, and the buddy monster of Tasuku Ryuenji. He is also one of the more well-known monsters of the Buddy Police. He has invested a large amount of his trust in Tasuku. He grants Tasuku the ability to fly, and refuses to shrink down in daily life even though he is capable of doing so. Tasuku Ryuenji considers him as a family member.

He is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese) and Jonathan Love (English).

Season 1
He makes his first appearance in Episode 1, together with Tasuku when they are fighting an unknown criminal.

In Episode 51, he and Galvanic Feather Dragon were seen fighting other Buddy monsters in Azi Dahaka's battle arena until Kiri freed them with Jin and his buddy Ice Blade, Joker's help.

He was under Kiri's possession alongside Tasuku's deck in an attempt to break Tasuku's connection to Disaster, but he failed. Knowing Gao would be the only one strong enough to succeed, he joined Team Balle Du Solle in order to become part of Gao's deck.

Season 2 Hundred
In episode 9, He and Tasuku were training with Armor Deity, Dynamize posing as Tasuku's former persona, Purgatory Knight.

Appearance
Jack is a green-scaled bipedal dragon. His hands have four fingers each, with one to two digits per finger. He wears a helmet equipped with a sword that is able to slide forward when needed. He also dons pauldrons and somewhat little body armor. His armor is black with grey edges and red highlights.

Personality
Like Tasuku, Jack has a strong desire protect others and is often eager in battle. Despite being well known and considered strong, he doesn't seem to be arrogant or overconfident in battle.

He has an extremely strong bond with Tasuku, whom he considers to be his family and isn't hesitant to risk himself to protect Tasuku. He was shocked and dissapointed when Tasuku turned him into Goldritter, which essentially turns him into a mindless weapon. When Tasuku joined Disaster he made it his goal to return Tasuku to his senses. He can also be forgiving and quick to trust others, as seen with Kiri. For unknown reasons, he hates going into SD form and stubbornly refuses to do so even when Tasuku recommened it once.
