About this title

Synopsis

This history happens at a place called "Parallel Planet" located above the sky and down the sea. This planet is divided in twelve worlds, in such way that if it seems like a clock. In the center of this clock, exists the "Needle tower," A place where the time doesn't run, The World Zero. In each "world" there is a Great Child (or G.C.), that is something like the guardian of that world. The Great Child is always accompanied by a spirit, which is an explosive, espheric side-kick that helps to defeat the Monster Troublemakers. Bucky, the protagonist of the history, is a normal boy that lives in the first world. He lives with a single and humble ambition: to dominate the world (in the sense of the whole planet). He is very certain and he would certainly die to reach his dream. One day he meets with Spark, the Great Child of Primas (World One). Spark is known as the strongest Great Child of all of the worlds, and he is on a successor's search. After finding Bucky and talking a little with him, Spark, without apparent reason, chooses Bucky as his successor. Bucky has just become a Great Child and to wins the company of Jibaki, the spirit of the first world. Since then, Bucky comes out to travel the twelve worlds and to accomplish his dream of dominating the world, with their friends (or like he would say, slaves) that he finds in the world.

Jibaku-kun is the main Spirit of the series. Unlike the other eleven Spirits, Jibaku does not have any distinguishing features from the others, he is simply bald and does not wear any type of adornment. Jibaku also does not have any special powers and, like all Spirits, he causes a huge explosion when he opens his hands. Jibaku is the Spirit of the Great Child of the 1st world, Primas. Before becoming the Spirit of Baku, Jibaku belonged to En, who was looking for a successor so that he could become a Great Soldier in World Zero. Although Jibaku is in constant conflict with Baku, they both respect each other a lot and he always gets embarrassed when he is praised or recognized by Baku.

When she was still little, Pink was saved by En who freed her from a contagious disease transmitted by her grandmother, Silva, who was cursed by the Needle Tower. Since then she strives to find En so she can repay his generosity. At first she doesn't accept that Baku has become the successor to her childhood hero, as he is the complete opposite of En, always being rude and arrogant when he can. Pink starts to have a friendship with Baku after witnessing his courage and determination during their battles, seeing that deep inside he is a good person, just like En. After the final battle, Pink throws herself at Baku and hugs him for a while, showing that she really cares for him.
