Jacuzzi Splot

Jacuzzi Splot (ジャグジー・スプロット, Jyagujī Supurotto) is the teenage leader of a gang from Chicago. He and his girlfriend Nice Holystone, along with their friends, pull off a successful heist aboard The Flying Pussyfoot' in 1931. Upon arriving in New York in 1932,''' Jacuzzi and his gang reestablish their bootlegging operations only to come into conflict with the Martillo Family, the Gandor Family, and two of Huey Laforet's groups, the Larvae and the Lamia.

Personality
While Jacuzzi is usually timid and cries often, he can be quite violent and dangerous, such as when he robbed eighteen of the Russo mafia family's speakeasies to avenge the deaths of several members of his gang. Additionally, in times of crisis, such as the Flying Pussyfoot incident, he demonstrates strong resolve and leadership qualities. He is constantly afraid of consequences and always breaks down into tears if confronted with something that seems dangerous.

He cares deeply for his friends and makes an effort to be familiar with his gang members. His concern and attention towards his gang is especially evident in how he is able to discern the voice of a stranger among his gang when they arrive in solidarity at Graham Specter's factory in 1932.

One of his most distinguishing features is the large grey sword tattoo he has on the left side of his face. He received the tattoo after his close friend and girlfriend, Nice Holystone, lost her right eye and ended up severely scarred after an explosives accident. He commissioned the tattoo so that Nice would always be able to recognize him despite her damaged eyesight.

In the anime, the (main) reason is different: He obtained the tattoo so that she would not be embarrassed by her scars in public.

1932
Jacuzzi cameos at the end of the book, where Henry first greets him upon his entry into the Daily Days office. Jacuzzi is there to report his side of the incident of the Flying Pussyfoot.

1933
John Panel and Fang Lin-Shan, having been employed by Eve Genoard as a bartender and cook respectively, and through a series of peculiar events having gained her trust, ask for her permission to allow a few friends to stay in the Genoard mansion on Millionaire Row while she is away, on the condition that they help maintain the house while she is gone. Eve does not hesitate in saying yes. However, they neglect in saying that a few friends means a few dozen.

Jacuzzi's gang has been living on the Genoard estate, operating in between the Gandor Family and Martillo Family's turf. Everyday the timid gang leader is frantic, frightened that it will be the day when the mafia comes knocking. One day, he bursts into tears after he breaks a vase while cleaning. Around him, his gang members scold him for bawling, and only Donny and Nice comfort him.

The door bell rings and Jacuzzi hides under the table, whimpering. Nice answers it to see a strangely dressed Isaac and Miria. Nice calls her boyfriend out from his hiding place to meet some old friends. They talk continuously about taking their revenge on a certain person, their origins as robbers and like always, go off on tangents that only confuse and entertain people.

The door bell rings for a second time that day, and Jacuzzi is greeted by Tim, Adele, Dallas Genoard and other members of the Larvae, a group formed by Huey Laforet. Like the visitors before them, they are bizarrely dressed and came with an even more bizarre objective. They offer Jacuzzi and his gang the chance to become immortals. The Larvae wants Jacuzzi's gang to join them, as they are looking for groups of people not affiliated with the mafia.

Adele takes out a spear she keeps strapped to her back and stabs Dallas' throat. The amateur bootleggers are shocked by the murder that has just happened before their eyes, but what surprises them even more is when Dallas' scattered blood moves of its own accord towards his body and fills up the gash, the wound healing completely. Jacuzzi faints at the sight, Nice holding him in her arms and takes up the role of leader in his stead. Isaac and Miria applaud, convinced they are witnessing a magic show. Other members of the gang begin murmuring between themselves, slightly convinced, leaving only Nice and John glaring at the intruders looking doubtful.

Chane, having run in from the backyard after a brief battle with a Gandor assassin, saw Dallas' regeneration and heard the words of a Tim wanting to make more immortals and immediately took action, striking at the Larvae's leader only to have Adele quickly come to his defence. Maria, the assassin, also came onto the scene having run after Chane making her and her companion, Tick who rang the doorbell at front, the third visitors that day. Tick told Tim to conduct their business with Splot's gang first saying that depending on their negotiations, their gang might disappear. As Nice was about to interrogate her mysterious guest and doorbell rang yet again.

The door was opened by one of the Larvae members revealing Ronny and Ennis waiting outside. When Ronny walked in it was if time stopped, the atmosphere of the room completely changing, drawing wide gazes from every member in the room. After learning who Ronny and Tick representated the Martillos and Gandors respectively, Nice rushed over to Jacuzzi and tried to shake him awake.

Jacuzzi awakes and looks over the situation, surprised to see so many people. He looks to Nice for an explanation and she give the best she could. Ronny asks Jacuzzi, the leader, whether they were enemies of the Martillos or whether they would join them. But before he could answer, time rushed forward again as events unfurled resulting in Dallas suffering multiple slashes from Maria when he threatened Tick, whom she had swore to protect.

Tim orders Adele to stop her and the two battled, the gang watching as Maria became more injured as the battle wore on despite being more skilled and faster than her opponet. All the while, Isaac and Miria still thought it was all part of a magic show. As the battle progressed, Ronny repeated his question which Jacuzzi answered that they weren't enemies but that didn't mean they would not join them either. Nice and others in earshot nodded at his resolve.

Upon hearing his answer, Ronny stopped the battle between the two women, in a flash taking their weapons without anyone seeing. Everyone looked at each other unsure of what had occurred. Jacuzzi looked at Nice paniced as Ronny walked towards them again after quieting the clanging of blades. Nice took out her zippo lighter and lit the fuse sticking out of a small sphere. However, instead of fire smoke filled the room allowing Jacuzzi a chance to escape. He apologised to Ronny saying he would answer him next time when things weren't so scary, and ran away with his gang into the depths of the large mansion. The others escaped as well; Tick dragging out an injured Maria, Ronny and Ennis walking through the smoke unperturbed and Tim and his Larvae backing away not noticing that Dallas had run away from them.

Relationships

Trivia

 * In one of the NDS game's false (tangential) plots/endings, it is 'revealed' that Jacuzzi has a brother called Bress Splot, who leads a mercenary gang in 1931. This is not considered canon, and is generally regarded as an amusing 'twist' if you end up playing your way to that ending in the game.
