Jashin-chan

Gender: Female

Age: Between 7000 and 10000. Her body is developed for the human equivalent of at least 20, because she can drink.

Appearance: Jashin-chan has long blonde hair with light blue ribbons tied on both sides and deep blue eyes. Being a lamia, Jashin-chan's lower body is that of a green snake. she has a petite body, she has a small waist and small hips. Although mostly naked for most of the series, Jashin-chan may also wear proper clothes occasionally, especially when she's given legs from Satan's Tears accompanied by an exposed private part. During her near-date with Medusa, she wears a white long-sleeved blouse with a white bow under the collar, a long blue skirt tied with a black knot, measured from her navel to her knees, and a pair of brown boots to cover her bare feet. Jashin-chan wears the blouse and skirt again out of shame after consuming a slice of apple harvested from the Garden of Eden. In Season 2 and onward, Jashin-chan was given a red cape with a white strip at the bottom and a row of three red hearts in the middle. The cape has a hood with cat-like ears. When she's at the beach, she ties her hair to ponytails.

Personality: Jashin is an irritable and self-absorbed brat whose fatal flaw is her ego. Jashin would often get herself into trouble when she tries to go up against opponents that are definitively more powerful than she is. She is self-serving, admitting that without her friend Medusa, she wouldn't function properly as she relies on her to provide her with money. She can also be sadistic given how she would envision multiple scenarios in which she would brutally kill Yurine for her freedom. This would also blot her judgment namely because she would unwittingly call out her attacks and Yurine would respond thusly. She always bullies the "lower" demons, believing she is superior to them when she always bullies Koji (the ice demon and younger sister of Yusa). She is also shown to have a significant lack of empathy, as she constantly steals Pekora's food, even when she's starving and at the brink of death. Not only that, but she's also perfectly okay with manipulating Medusa and treating her like garbage, such as treating Medusa like her personal ATM and putting the blame on her whenever she gets into any trouble. Despite this, it is shown occasionally that she truly cares for others. With Medusa while she does see her as her "personal ATM", she treasures her as a friend twice breaking down when she thought that she wanted nothing else to do with her. She also seemed to express some remorse for stealing that boy's tsuchinoko, but she doesn't consider returning it to him afterward. While hating that she is now subservient to Yurine because Yurine didn't know how to send her back, she does ask her politely in one episode to die of which that was denied. Not only that, but she is shown to have a soft spot for Yurine, as evident from the episode where Yurine gets sick. Despite having the perfect opportunity for her to kill Yurine, she stops herself from doing so and looks after her until she gets better. This shows that Jashin-chan has warmed up to her and deep down wouldn't really be able to kill her. Helping others seems to make her happy, and she enjoys being praised for good behavior, or for her cooking, though she tries to hide this through tsundere behavior or by pretending that her good deeds were motivated purely by self-interest. She also can't stand the thought of others disliking her, to the point of feeling physically ill. It is unknown why she feels obligated to be evil.

Hobby/Occupation: Yurine's servant

Additional Information: ● Jashin-chan is the titular main protagonist of Dropkick on My Devil!. She is an extremely weak, bratty, incompetent and dimwitted Lamia who was summoned to Earth, and constantly tries (and always failed) to kill her summoner and on & off archnemesis, Yurine Hanazono only to be relentlessly tortured and torn to pieces by Yurine and her extremely torturous weaponries (such as a machete and a chainsaw). The Japanese word "Jashin" (邪神) means "evil god."

● Jashin is a lamia from Hell whose goal in life is to kill Yurine so she could return to Hell. Unfortunately it is a combination of her incompetence and Yurine's efficiency with using weapons that causes her to fail consistently. When she's not trying to end Yurine, Jashin would often bribe her childhood friend Medusa into buying her items often to use them to try to kill Yurine. Despite this, she does actually value Medsua's friendship, and often becomes jealous if she felt that she was seeing other people.

● She has some notable relationships with some of the other cast, those characters being: Yurine Hanazono Jashin-chan was summoned to Earth by Yurine for no reason other than just to see if she could. She was unable to return Jashin-chan to Hell herself, as the grimoire which she used to summon her did not contain the return spell. The only other way for Jashin-chan to return home is if she kills her summoner, and as such, she spends each day unsuccessfully trying to kill Yurine while simultaneously spending time with her and various acquaintances from Heaven and Hell. Yurine takes it upon herself to punish Jashin-chan for her bad deeds, usually in a relentlessly sadistic and bloody manner. Despite this, Jashin-chan refuses to relent and sometimes even intentionally provokes Yurine into attacking her. Despite this, or perhaps because of this, Jashin-chan and Yurine are very good friends. Jashin-chan refuses to admit she has grown soft on Yurine, as she keeps reminding herself how she ended up stranded in the human world.

Medusa As best friends since childhood, Medusa and Jashin-chan share a strong, sometimes even intimate bond, more like a married couple from a caring, simple-hearted wife and frivolous husband, which reminds Yurine of "boy-girl relationship". In this relationship, Jashin often plays the role of an abusive parasitic "husband" who shamelessly manipulates the kindness of her "wife" Medusa, constantly using her as a cash machine and manipulating her at every opportunity. At the same time, at critical moments of their friendship, she is able to be quite sentimental, jealous and even openly admits that she is unable to function normally without Medusa, using for this purpose such words as "aishiteru", which is considered to be one of the strongest Japanese words for expressing platonic or romantic love for someone. Even though Jashin-chan continues to have a toxic effect on Medusa and uses her as a cash machine, their near-family relationship continues to be emphasized throughout the series, when Medusa gives her chocolate for St. Valentine's Day, or when Jashin-chan invites Medusa to a near-date to apologize to her. Jashin-chan would often get to a dangerous length to defend Medusa, which she claims it was for a selfish reason.

Minos Minos is another childhood friend of Jashin-chan's. When Minos transferred to Jashin-chan's school, none of the other students would play with her because minotaur are stereotyped as being violent and dumb. So she played alone during recess, until Jashin-chan approached her and invited her to play dodgeball. They've been friends ever since. Unlike Medusa, Minos refuses to enable her bad habits by lending her money and is too strong to let Jashin-chan take advantage of her. Jashin-chan's friendship with Minos is pretty loose due to the latter being an airhead and lacks control over her strength which sometimes ends up hurting her. However she gets flustered when Minos praises her cooking, which is the reason Minos regularly visits Jashin-chan for breakfast.

Mei Tachibana In spite of Mei's unhealthy crush on her, Jashin-chan may trust Mei for assistance when required. She even refers to her by the given name without an honorific.

Persephone and Persephone II Persephone was formerly one of Jashin-chan's primary school teachers. As a student, Jashin-chan required extra attention from her teachers and as a result Persephone grew close to Jashin-chan and her friends. To this day, she looks up to her not just as an instructor but as a close friend and caretaker. Once Persephone learned that Jashin-chan was trapped under the servitude of a human, she sent her daughter, Persephone II, to find her and teach her the Refined Dropkick so that she might defeat her captor. Medusa gave her the nickname "Per-chan". For whatever reason, Jashin-chan despises Per-chan and doesn't hesitate to make this known. Per-chan returns this animosity with the occasional cheeky remark, but otherwise remains amicable with her as she does everyone else she meets. She succeeded in her mission to teach Jashin-chan the Refined Dropkick, but even with the new move she was unable to kill Yurine. Despite her hatred towards Per-chan, Jashin-chan has grown a soft spot for her after learning she sees Jashin-chan as an older sister. She denies this out of embarrassment.

Kyon-Kyon and Ran-Ran Kyon-Kyon and Jashin-chan quickly found common ground in the fact that they are both entirely gormless and carefree individuals who have few reservations when is comes to finding ways to have fun. Jashin-chan jokingly calls them "The Dumb Devil Duo" and they occasionally enjoy daytime excursions doing things such as dine-and-dashing and acrobatics on skyscraper rooftops. Like Jashin-chan, Kyon-Kyon lacks control over her temper which often results in near deaths. Ran-Ran thinks Jashin-chan is a bad influence on her sister.

Pekora Although she bullies Pekora mainly for being a former angel, Jashin-chan may show genuine kindness to her when she wants to. She openly admits being friends with her when confronting Lierre. Jashin-chan once said that Pekora has a nice face. Pekora has trouble accepting Jashin-chan's kindness due to her being a Hellspawn, but she never blames her when being bullied, and is willing to help her when needed.

Poporon/Amatsuka Noel Jashin-chan has great hatred towards Poporon upon their first two encounters. She begins to warm up to her after she begins living in the human world under a new alias. She's the only close acquaintance of Poporon who calls her by her pseudonym even after knowing Amatsuka Noel is a literal angel in disguise. A reference to their former encounters, Poporon calls her "Nikujaga" which translates to Meat and Potatoes, and is a little slow with warming up to her mainly due to Jashin-chan constantly ridiculing her. She and Noel are sometimes seen having a friendly conversation with her even if for a short moment, and Jashin-chan is willing to show genuine kindness to Noel if she chooses to, like saving her from an internet troll who insults her on social media. Jashin-chan actually likes Noel's singing, but she doesn't keep her promise to attend her concert much to Noel's dismay.

Lierre Defeated by a god in attempt of a fatal dropkick, Jashin-chan pledges her allegiance to Lierre. However, she would often mess with her feelings, believing it to be the only way of defeating her. Even then, Lierre would offer mercy to the demon, which Jashin-chan gratefully accepts.

Tangan-chan Satan's personal delivery demon who sends Jashin-chan a bottle of Satan's Tears every time she levels up or has taken a mortal life. So far, Tangan-chan is the only demon that Jashin-chan never raises her voice to, and sometimes gets overdramatic when Tangan-chan explodes even though she knows a demon that dies in the mortal world will be reborn in the demon world.

● She has some notable abilities seen throughout the series, those being: Regeneration Jashin's powerful regenerative abilities render her effectively immortal. Whether she's maimed, decapitated, or minced into mush with a chainsaw, she is always able to completely recover in a few hours. Despite this, Jashin-chan claims she is still able to be killed with a bullet in her head, or by being burned thoroughly. According to the series creator Yukiwo, the source of this power is an orb inside her head that was placed there because she's a "chosen devil". As long as the orb remains intact, she will not die.

Royal Copenhagen Jashin-chan's Royal Copenhagen is an ordinary punch. Sometimes a strange energy can be seen surrounding her fist, but this is likely just for dramatic effect. The move was named after a Danish porcelain manufacturer which she thought sounded cool. A special development of the Royal Copenhagen is the "Left Hand Copenhagen", which is the same as the regular Royal Copenhagen, but even less effective on account of Jashin-chan being right-handed. She came up with this left-handed variant on the fly in the middle of a battle against Jizo when her right hand was broken, saying nothing in particular about Jashin-chan's intelligence or creativity.

Magic Circle Although unaware of it, Jashin-chan can create a functional magic circle on anything. This is first seen when she accidentally drew one while stirring a curry, with a poultry used as a sacrifice, and her humming being the chant sending her back in time. She can also draw a summoning circle to summon a certain demon she thinks of to meet. This was done accidentally when she wishes to meet the shopkeeper who sold Medusa's flawed eye contacts. These successful results may be due to her being a Hellborn. However it is unlikely that she can use it to properly send herself back to Hell without a time warp.

Jashin's Special Ability Jashin-chan has the ability to throw dice and have then land on whatever number she wants. As a kid, she would use this power to win games of sugoroku. Due to her low intelligence, she is unable to utilize this ability in a useful manner.

Laser Eyes Jashin-chan can fire laser beams from her eyes. It's powerful enough to light Yurine's skin on fire.

Devil Fusion In the anime, Jashin-chan has the ability to fuse with any animal or plant she comes in contact with (although she can only fuse with one at a time). This ability was first fully utilized for escaping Yurine, the angels, and debt collectors. She also was able to fuse with a melon in attempt to sell melons.

Digital Communication Chapter 194 shows Jashin-chan able to see and hear Pekora through a surveillance camera in real-time, but she is unable to send her own voice though it.

Telepathic Communication Chapter 222 shows Jashin-chan speaking directly into Pekora's head without opening her mouth. She mainly does this to avoid taking more oxygen in confined spaces.

Illusion Manifestation During Chapter 128, Jashin was able to manifest her desires into real world illusions, which scared Minos and Persephone II.

General Strength Despite being far weaker than Yurine, Jashin-chan is still stronger than a normal human. She can easily shatter a knife using her hand and subdue a ruffian using her tail (as seen in chapter 148).

● Due to being being constantly counterattacked by Yurine, Jashin-chan runs the risk of losing her progress as a high-ranked demon due to being defeated by a human. the lost experience and levels can still be replenished by killing other mortals. In the manga, killing a cockroach increases her level drastically. This was changed in the anime with consuming Poporon's halo and neutralizing its angelic energy. It is also shown that even the simplest mistakes like losing in a Pachinko can reduce her progress, and Jashin-chan's gambling habit only makes it worse.

● Shown in Chapter 35, Jashin-chan is afraid of frogs.

● Jashin-chan's wallet has Yurine's contact info embroidered in it.

● Jashin-chan, along with her former classmates, is over 7000 years old following the Great Flood that happened when they were in third grades.

● Jashin-chan sheds her skin once every millennium.

● Jashin-chan is aware of her stupidity as she has never caught a cold in her life.

● Due to being a serpent, consuming an apple from the Garden of Eden fills her with an unhealthy amount of shame, especially for her nudity. This is a reference to the Genesis story of Adam and Eve who were tricked by a serpent and felt ashamed after eating the forbidden fruits.

● Jashin-chan comes from aristocratic lineage. Her parents live in Hell and are in charge of something similar to Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. However due to their negligence, Jashin-chan has a complicated relationship with them to the point where she thinks she's not their real daughter. Though Jashin-chan's mother makes an appearance in Chapter 259 to visit her daughter. Jashin-chan inherited most of her personality traits from her mother.

● Revealed in Chapter 77, "Jashin-chan" is actually a nickname. If Jashin-chan was to recite her real name, she would be far from finished even after thirty minutes.

● Jashin-chan's favorite song is Holst's "The Planets". Her favorite planet in the song is Jupiter. If one was to disturb her when listening to her favorite song, she would crush them coldheartedly whilst humming Jupiter, with a slim chance of sparing their life.

● Her voice actress, Aina Suzuki, is in real life the older sister of Lierre's voice actress Miharu Hanai. This fact would not be known until November 2022, during the announcement of the light-novel and manga series A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring getting an anime adaptation, which premiered on July 7th, 2024. Suzuki confirmed their relationship in summer 2025 and embedded a tweet by Hanai showing them in a photo together.

● There are moments where Jashin is aware that she lives in a fictional work once mentioning the name of the publishers of the anime, or deliberately using the censor pixels to her favor.

● She was named as Orochimaru by Mei Tachibana due to her snake-like body similar to Orochimaru of the Naruto series.

● Jashin-chan's frequent failures and injuries are likely similar to the incidents from the Looney Tunes villain Wile E. Coyote, who was well-known for failing to capture his prey: the Road Runner. In Jashin-chan's case, her injuries were worse than Wile E. Coyote's since she was often gored by Yurine. Both Jashin-chan and Wile E. Coyote are capable of planning things out, yet due to their lack of common sense, their plans backfired.
