"It seems that you did care for me, Ryou. Thanks."
―Demon-Fist Master Jin Matoba's final words before his death

Demon-Fist Master Jin Matoba (魔拳士ジン的場陣 Makenshi Matoba Jin, 26-39, 47 & 48): A master of Kempo and all forms of martial arts, Jin Matoba was a gentleman assassin.

History[]

His favorite targets were martial arts masters, as his own master cut off his left arm. Jin got a prosthesis, perfected his arts, went on a campaign to slaughter in fair challenge other masters who considered themselves fit to destroy promising students and fully intended, when he was ready, to return and kill his first teacher. Jin's trademark was to flip a coin into the air and kill his opponent before it landed. But the man foiled that plan by dying before Jin got around to it. But that all changed the day he met Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star and was defeated by him. Jin soon later sold his soul to Major Zydos to become stronger than Ryo, becoming the Demon-Fist Master after assaulting the only person who cared for him. But Jin refused to be Gorma's lapdog and perfected his new-found powers on his own, after which he went hunting for Ryo. His power had many facets, and one of them was the deadly "Dance of the Spider" poisoning technique.

After his death, Jin would later appear as a ghost to Ryo, encouraging him not to give up or let his emotions get in his way.

Personality[]

Jin was a very pessimistic and nihilistic man, losing his faith in humanity after his master cut off his left arm. He believed everyone only looked out for themselves.

When Ryo went out of his way to help Jin after he was injured, Jin initially thought Ryo was just a naive idiot, but later expressed genuine gratitude.

Forms[]

MMPR Skelerena

Garouki

Zydos captured the rogue and infused him with more Gorma power, turning him into Garouki (餓狼鬼, Garōki Hungry-Wolf Demon). Unlike the normally born Gorma, Jin's transformation was against his will and thus he is unable to control himself as Garouki. As Garouki, Jin is like a totally obedient dog for Zydos with a desire to kill and eat his victims. Jin was soon freed of his "Gorma-incarnation" thanks to Ryo's attack separating the monster from his body. While Jin fought Zydos, with Garouki destroyed by the Super Qi-Power Bazooka, he was mortally wounded. After one final bout with Ryo, Jin went on the run from the Gorma. Jin was last seen fighting the bulk of an entire army of Cotpotros led by Zydos, only to be seemingly gunned down by the 2nd wave. But Jin later appeared to Ryo and proceeded to beat sense into him on not giving up despite no longer being a Dairanger.

Skelerena

  • Superhuman Strength: Jin Matoba could kick hard enough for his foot to go straight through a car door and impale a driver as well as break a katana in two with a single punch.
  • Hand to Hand Combat: Having been trained from birth to be a skilled fighter, Jin Matoba was a master fighter who could kill a karate master in five seconds with his bare hands. His preferred method of killing was grabbing an opponent by the throat and crushing their jugular.
  • Martial Arts: Jin Matoba was able to defeat masters of karate and even three fully grown men armed with katanas with no trouble.
  • Superhuman Agility: Jin Matoba landed upright after being jump kicked by Ryo.
  • Demon-Fist Technique; Wind Fist of the Evil God: A special technique where Jin Matoba unleashed a rapid series of punches into his opponent before sending him flying with a final punch.
  • Demon Nature Descent: After being given the Demon Fist Power by Major Zydos, Jin obtains his "Goma Form" in this state, he gains a demonic left arm and a black Martial Arts Gi.
    • Laser Blasts: Jin could gesture to his face and fire a large red energy ball from his right hand. This caused a large explosion but Ryo dodged it.
    • Demon Path Yo Fist; Spider Dance: A newly mastered attack that Jin used to assassinate his victims. The attack induces fear and created a spider that crawls up the victim. If the spider reaches the victims neck they will die.
    • Glacial Fist: Soul Fist Attack:
