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
Jon Panel and Fang Lin-Shan, having been employed by Eve Genoard as a bartender and cook respectively, 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 to say that by a 'few friends' they mean a few dozen.

About twenty members of Jacuzzi's gang moves into the Genoard manor, operating in-between the Gandor Family and Martillo Family's turf. He is constantly frightened that the mafia will come knocking someday.

One day in September 1933, Jacuzzi breaks a vase while cleaning and bursts into tears. Around him, his gang members scold him for bawling and only Donny and Nice comfort him. The doorbell rings and Jacuzzi hides under the table, whimpering. Nice answers it, and in step a strangely dressed Isaac and Miria. Nice calls her boyfriend out from his hiding place to meet some old friends. Isaac and Miira talk incessantly about how they want revenge on a certain person (Firo Prochainezo).

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. Tim offers 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, as a demonstration that they're serious. The amateur bootleggers are shocked by the murder that has just happened before their eyes, but what surprises them more is the sight of Dallas' scattered blood moving on 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 to murmur amongst themselves, now more convinced. Only Nice and Jon remain skeptical.

Chané, having run in from the backyard after a brief battle with a Gandor assassin (Maria Barcelito), witnesses Dallas regenerate and hears Tim say they want to make more immortals. She immediately takes action, striking at Tim. Adele quickly comes to his defence. Maria runs in after Chané - Maria is the companion of Tick Jefferson, who has run the doorbell. She and Tick are the third visitors of the day. Tick advises Tim to conduct their business with Splot's gang now, explaining that depending on the negotiations, the gang might...disappear. As Nice prepares to interrogate her mysterious guest, the doorbell rings yet again.

One of the Larvae members opens the door to reveal Ronny Schiatto and Ennis waiting outside. When Ronny walks in the atmosphere of the room completely changes, and all eyes are on him. After learning that Ronny and Tick represent the Martillos and Gandors respectively, Nice rushes over to Jacuzzi and shakes him awake.

Jacuzzi is surprised to see that the crowd has increased in number. He looks to Nice for an explanation and she explains the best she can. Ronny asks Jacuzzi whether his people are the enemies of the Martillos or if they will join them. Before Jacuzzi can answer, events unfold and Dallas suffers multiple cuts from Maria after he threatens Tick.

Tim orders Adele to stop Maria and the two battle. Jacuzzi and the gang watch as Maria becomes more injured during the battle despite the fact that she is more skilled and faster than her opponent. As the two fight, Ronny repeats his question to Jacuzzi, who answers that the Martillos and his gang aren't enemies...but that doesn't mean they plan to join the Martillos.

At this, Ronny stops the battle between the two women, teleporting their weapons into his hand in a second. Everyone looks at each other in confusion; Jacuzzi sends Nice a panicked glance as Ronny advances towards them once more. With her Zippo lighter, Nice lights a smoke bomb and throws it into the air. The bomb explodes, and smoke fills the room. Jacuzzi apologizes to Ronny, and says that he will answer him next time when things aren't so scary.

He and his gang scatter into the depths of the large mansion. All the other factions flee from the mansion.

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.
 * Jacuzzi's age fluctuates in the light novels. In the second light novel, 1931: Local Chapter The Grand Punk Railroad, he is nineteen years old (Nice recalls an incident five years prior, when he was fourteen). However, in the dramatis personae section of the eighth light novel (1934: Prison Episode Alice in Jails) it is written that he is "almost twenty" - which would place him around sixteen to seventeen years of age when he robbed the Flying Pussyfoot.
 * It is unknown whether this was a deliberate retcon on Ryohgo Narita's part, or whether he simply forgot.
