Bakool Ja Ja

A tweet from Audrey about Bakool Ja Ja’s popularity: “Yoshi-P on Bakol Jaja’s newfound popularity: ‘I would NEVER have guessed this. The entire dev team was like ‘huh?!’’ LMAO”

To be fair to Yoshida, it really is kind of a left-field thirst target for the community. Like I said before, we’ve had years of fawning over moody edgelords, adorable catboys, andtall goth women. Slimy amphibians, however? Not really on the list until now.

Bakool Ja Ja’s voice actor Javier Prusky even joined in on the discussion,replyingto Audrey’s tweet to say “I mean, I’m not mad at it tho,” adding: “It is a pleasure voicing him, and a pleasure knowing others find pleasure interacting with him.”

Allow me a moment to delve into some spoilers for Dawntrail’s story, so read ahead at your own risk.

I don’t fully understand the horniness for Bakool Ja Ja just yet, but he does arguably have some of the best character development of this expansion. Introduced as a taco-smacking jerk, we end up finding out that Bakool Ja Ja is actually a big softie suffering from a bad case of survivor’s guilt. After spending the early half of the story in direct opposition with him, he ends up becoming a firm ally for the rest of the expansion, fighting alongside us when things go a bit south with considerably less sexy one-headed lizardman Zoraal Ja.

Then again, I guess there’s something to be said for a giant, muscular meathead with a sensitive side. While I won’t be swooning over him in a maid outfit anytime soon, I’m starting to see the appeal. Maybe I’ve been playing the game too much in the last few weeks, and it’s time to go touch some grass.
