Personality and Traits:

Jubei's feline appearance belies his true age as a beastkin who has lived for over a century. Having seen the world before the Dark War, during it, and after it, Jubei's outlook on life is unique, and he plays the part of a mentor who has helped guide those who come to him. This role has come naturally to him as he has taught Ragna and looked after him all throughout the man's adolescence; from fighting to cooking, Jubei has done his best to fill a parental role.

Cheerful in a way befitting an old man, Jubei's jovial outlook on life is infectious, and he wants nothing more than peace for his friends and family. Although his speech is generally rough, his sense of humanity is better than most humans, and it does not take much to emotionally sway him. Regardless of his status as a legendary hero, Jubei has experienced prejudice and hatred because of his species, but that has not dulled the outlook he has. Jubei makes regular trips to Lost Town to visit the Kaka and spend time with them. Regardless of those he meets, Jubei treats them with the same warmth.

His relationship with Nine is the most interesting. The two have a clear love for one another that blossomed during the Dark War, even though they have found themselves at opposite sides of a conflict more than once. Jubei clearly loves his wife regardless of any conflict and the constant teasing that she puts him through, making him blush at every opportunity. Unfortunately, Jubei and Kokonoe have an estranged relationship caused by Jubei's absence in her childhood, in turn caused by the Novus Orbis Librarium hunting him immediately following the Dark War. While Jubei wants to rekindle the relationship with his daughter, she was repulsed by the idea until recently.[4]

Despite all his warmth and jovial nature, Jubei is capable of hatred, which is primarily directed at Yuuki Terumi. Terumi took everything away from Jubei, having been responsible for the deaths of his clansmen, his brother, his homeland, his wife, his comrades, and an assassination attempt on his daughter. With Nine's resurrection, Jubei believed it his duty as her husband to be the one to fight her, having to put aside his feelings for what he felt was the greater good.
