Raijinmaru (雷神丸 ?) is a resident in Tamakoma Branch and Yōtarō Rindō's pet Capybara. She[3][2] is also Border's crown trigger, whose duty is to protect the Aristeran prince, Yōtarō Rindō.[2] Raijinmaru is also known for her "extremely soft and fluffy belly fur."
Appearance[edit source]
Raijinmaru looks like a fairly common capybara, with a large head, big body, and short, thin legs. Her body is covered mostly in light brown fur, with darker fur coating the tip of her snout, limbs and the top parts of her ears.
Personality[edit source]
Not much is known about Raijinmaru's personality, but she seems to be a very lazy, laid back, and gluttonous capybara. However, should Yōtarō be in any serious danger, she is capable of becoming very destructive to quell the threat. [2]
History[edit source]
Raijinmaru was Border's crown trigger whose purpose was to defend Yōtarō.[2] She joined Border during its debut.[4]
Plot[edit source]
Black Trigger Capture Arc[edit source]
Raijinmaru appears multiple times in Tamakoma Branch, with Yōtarō seen on numerous occasions riding, petting, or rubbing her stomach.
Border Enlistment Arc[edit source]
She is seen with Yōtarō atop her after Osamu's battle with Midorikawa. Yoneya was babysitting him for his cousin.[5]
B-Rank Wars Arc[edit source]
Yōtarō sits on top of her while watching the Rank Wars. During Galopoula's Invasion, Yōtarō rides on her in search of Hyuse to return Lampyris to him.[6]
near the end of the final upper group match, Raijinmaru is shown to be on top of Izuho's lap.[7]
Abilities[edit source]
Not much is known about her abilities but, as a Crown Trigger, it can be assumed that she is strong. Especially considering Jin was ready to interfere during Galopoula's Invasion[2][8] and even stated that she would have, "turned the whole area into a fiery wasteland".[2]
Trivia[edit source]
- Raijinmaru is actually female, contrary to Tamakoma members' beliefs.[3]
- "Raijin" (雷神 ?) is the Shintō god of lightning, thunder, and storms. "Maru" (丸 ?), meaning "perfection" or "full circle", is a common suffix for Japanese male names (despite the fact that Raijinmaru is a female).
- Raijinmaru's name comes from the dog of Yōtarō's favourite television hero.[9]
- According to Border Briefing File, Raijinmaru is both Border's most popular and the least concerned with popularity, while Yuiga is both the least popular and the most concerned with popularity.[10]
- Kazama has been caught on camera attempting to ride, or at least get on, Raijinmaru while intoxicated.[11]
