Jean Noueilles,[3] also known as Captain Porcupinefish,[4] is a porcupinefishfish-man and a member of the now disbanded New Fish-Man Pirates. He was the commander of the Sea Urchin Armor Spine Squad.[2]
In the anime, he is named "Harisenbon" (ハリセンボン,Harisenbon?), based on his "Captain Porcupinefish" alias.
Noueilles is a slim fish-man with lanky dark hair, a sharp face, tiny ears, and spikes jutting out of his arms and chest. He also has a dark outlined eyes. He wears an open light-colored shirt.
Personality[]
As a member of the New Fish-Man Pirates, he hates humans. His voice also becomes much deeper when he swells up to reveal his needles.[2]
Abilities and Powers[]
As a fish-man, he was born with the natural strength ten times that of an average human, and twice that underwater. The spikes on his body make it difficult for him to be harmed by unarmored melee attacks. He can inflate his body like a pufferfish, extending his spikes outwards in an attempt to stab the enemy. His powers and leadership skills apparently were enough for him to be the commander of the squadron.[2]
History[]
Fish-Man Island Saga[]
Fish-Man Island Arc[]
Noueilles accompanied Hody Jones and Vander Decken IX when they raided the Ryugu Palace and took over.[1] When Hody went over to Gyoncorde Plaza, Noueilles was behind him on the Sea Beast.[5] Noueilles led the Sea Urchin Armor Spine Squad to attack Sanji with their spikes, but he simply jumped up and let the Fish-Men crash into each other.[2]
Anime and Manga Differences[]
The fish-man that replaces Noueilles in the anime.
During Hody's attack on Ryugu Palace in the anime, Noueilles was replaced with a fish-man with brown hair, rather than black hair. The only resemblances between this fish-man and Noueilles are their jawline and skin tone. In terms of actual resemblance to the manga version of him, he bears little similarity.[6]
Translation and Dub Issues[]
Noueilles' alias, "Captain Porcupinefish", was treated as his name by all official English sources, where it was romanized as "Harisenbon". This includes the seventh popularity poll, where Noueilles was listed as "Captain Porcupinefish" in Japanese and "Harisenbon" in English.
The anime makes his name more explicit, with both Daruma and the credits referring to him as simply "Harisenbon" (without the "Captain" title).[2]
