Otocin (オトシン, Otoshin) is a private second class in the Royal Army of the Kakin Empire.[1]
Appearance[]
Otocin has dark eyes, light-colored hair parted to his left, and prominent eyebrows. He wears the standard attire of a Kakin soldier.[1]
Personality[]
Otocin is talkative, playful, and observant. He is quick to ask questions, especially when he has a plan in mind. He has the closest relationship with Tserriednich, shortening his name to "Tserried" and "Tserri" and even referring to him as a "punk". According to Momolly, he is the only person who can talk back to the Prince without getting shot.[1]
Plot[]
Succession Contest arc[]
After breaking into the Heil-Ly's office with the other soldiers, Gipper emphasizes the importance of capturing Morena Prudo before the situation reaches that point, adding that they should hand her over to Tserriednich before he has to trouble himself with it. He tells his subordinates that while they can sweep Tier 3 with the help of the Xi-Yu and Cha-R, they don’t want to draw attention from the Royal Army and police, ordering them to carry only handguns during the search. Otocin speaks up and asks about creating a counterstrategy if the Heil-Ly have any Nen users among them. Gipper is left confused by the term, and Otocin explains that it's a dangerous power spreading quickly on Tier 1, guessing that it's the reason why "Tserried" hasn't handled the situation on Tier 3. Gipper wonders who reported the information to a private second class, and Otocin reveals that they learned about it from Borksen, a provisional Hunter on security detail at the royal living quarters. Gipper recognizes them as a private first class and says that he will request for her to be transferred to Tier 3 as an advisor.[1]
Gipper threatening Otocin
Gipper then threatens to rip out Otocin's eyes if he ever abbreviates Tserriednich's name again. He warns him that he will put him on the front line against Nen users, and Otocin quickly addresses him as sir. Momolly can't believe that Otocin would involve Bork in the situation, but Otocin replies that her information will be crucial, explaining that Morena wouldn't pick a fight with "Tserri" if she didn't have a plan. Momolly points out that Otocin did just that against Gipper, but Otocin replies that it was calculated since he was able to get Bork transferred. Gipper then threatens to shoot Otocin if he doesn't be quiet, and Otocin quickly addresses him as sir again.[1]
After further discussion, Otocin wonders why Gipper isn't yelling at the other soldiers for constantly talking. Gipper replies that they are actually smart and that he agrees with their opinion, again saying that they need to find Morena as soon as possible. Momolly, however, says that Otocin has a point. Otocin is shocked and asks if he can kiss her, but after telling him to die, Momolly points out that Tserriednich has remained silent despite Morena's rebellion, confident that he would only delay exacting revenge against a traitor if he has found a new toy. Gipper guesses that she's referring to the story about Tserriednich's firearm disassembly and reassembly drill in seventh grade, saying that he heard the Prince broke the academy's record after practicing without eating or sleeping. Otocin clarifies that Tserriednich said he was "playing", not practicing, also calling him a punk.[1]
Otocin eventually criticizes Tserriednich's short temper and recounts the other classmate's words to Tserriednich about accomplishing something first. Momolly replies that logic doesn't work on the Prince and tells Otocin that he is probably the only one who can talk back to him without getting shot. Later, as the soldiers think about Tserriednich, Otocin says to himself that their friendship seems to take a back seat the closer they get to him, adding that he prefers to stay at the bottom and loudly ask Tserriednich if it's really what he wants. A flashback is then shown with Tserriednich holding a gun after having shot his classmate in the leg.[1]
Otocin asking Borksen if she is upset about being transferred
After meeting up with the five soldiers, Borksen explains that Tserriednich is learning Nen from Theta, his personal bodyguard, warning that they will be instantly demoted if they leak the top-secret information. Otocin wonders about Nen, but Borksen herself is unaware of it since it's classified, adding that she was planning to investigate it before being transferred. Otocin asks if she's upset, and Borksen confirms it with a smile on her face, chastising him for revealing the information to Corporal Gipper. Otocin replies that they needed to know the details and adds that they were able to propose the transfer request early warning system. Borksen calls him naive and says that Gipper wouldn't agree to switch now that he's moved up, guessing that he's using her as a pretext to restrict communications with soldiers in the lower tiers in order to prevent information leaks. Later, Borksen explains that while she doesn't know the details, she could tell from Theta and Salkov's reactions that Nen is comparable to a top-secret weapon. Otocin quickly reminds them that he said it was more dangerous than a gun, but Momolly replies that Borksen's words carry more weight.[1]
Otocin is present with the other soldiers at the meeting with the Xi-Yu and Cha-R.[2]
