Jigorou of the Wind (Kaze no Jigoro) (also known as Jigolo) is a zombie on Thriller Bark, in the service of Gecko Moria. Later, he was assign to be under Hogback's command. As he has Zoro's shadow, he's a user of Santōryū.

[edit] History

He is a former samurai with a toothbrush mustache, who was made a Zombie General. When he was alive, he single handedly killed 7000 pirates to save his own family. He is a relatively "fresh" zombie. He was made only a short while after the Straw Hat Pirates boarded Thriller Bark.

Apparently, he has Zoro's Shadow. He was able to hold down Robin and Chopper, together with Inuppe. Even though no ego was left, he still couldn't get along with Inuppe, who has Sanji's shadow. They got in a fight over orders. Hogback unintentionally ordered both to jump out of the building. They obeyed his order.

His life force was eventually taken away when Moria stole the shadows of every zombie to become even more powerful.

His zombie number is 850.

[edit] Trivia

• In episode 348, all the general Zombies decided to go upstairs to help Teleran. As they all head up the stairs, Jigoro walks the opposite direction. This is a reflection of Zoro's poor sense of direction.
• In episode 363, when Hogback was tricked into ordering Jigoro and Inuppe to jump from the tower, the music Ode to Joy was played. This is the fourth time in the anime that a piece of non-original music was played. The first was Hiriluk's death. The second was when Luffy defeated Crocodile. The third time was in Movie 7, when Usopp was opening the treasure chest.
• The first spoken words in a conversation; "A scar on the back is a swordsman's shame - but I have scars all over." is a reference to Zoro's initial reaction upon defeat to Mihawk when he turned to face him ("It is a shame for a swordsman to hit from behind").
