"Love will always triumph!! All the cold, lonely nights and the times you wish you could take back... They will one day become beautiful memories. This is love! The power of love!!"

— Tyson Hui Guo Rou to her staff, in "Persuasion"

Tyson Hui Guo Rou (タイソン=ホイコーロ, Taison Hoikōro) is the Sixth Prince of the Kakin Empire's fourteen Princes, only daughter of Kakin's King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou and his fourth wife, Fourth Queen Katrono Hui Guo Rou.[1]

Appearance[]

Tyson is a short, stout woman with a large head, a round face, and straight long black hair.[2] She has dark, upturned eyes, long eyelashes, and she has an oval-shaped eyebrows.[1] She often wears simple clothes with fuzzy, floral, or love-themed designs, accents, or patterns.[3][4]

Personality[]

Tyson enjoys being surrounded by handsome men and selected her bodyguards using that criterion.[5] She is also extremely possessive of them, refusing to let the Hunter Association screen them.[6] She likes being pampered by her bodyguards, is very feminine, and enjoys flattery from them, blushing when they call her "cute".[2] She appears to genuinely cherish them, as seen when she threw Giuliano a surprise party because they would not get to celebrate his birthday before his contract expired.[7] She believes that her teachings based on love can change the world,[3] and, despite being involved in a succession war, opposes violent action.[7] This sympathy was later revealed to root deep in her character, as Tyson was initially against the idea of succession war and wouldn't consider entering it, showing that she is very compassionate, and she only joins in consideration of her mother's wish, although she says her only weapons are love and devotion.[8]

Plot[]

Succession Contest arc[]

Tyson hires Izunavi as her personal bodyguard during the voyage to the Dark Continent.[5] She participates in the ceremony on the eve of the beginning of the expedition and boards the ship, thinking she could win the Succession War while giggling to herself. She then takes part in the formal event with her family and other important guests. Like the rest of her family, she resides in the 1st deck of the ship.[9]

Shortly afterward, her Guardian Spirit Beast becomes active, and on the first day, its spawn venture into Prince Woble's quarters.[10] Tyson then hears Kurapika's announcement and learns of the existence of Guardian Spirit Beasts. She deduces they were granted to the Princes via the Seed Urn Ceremony and that her siblings must possess them too. She then wonders if hers looks like an angel, and is elated to hear Izunavi say they look like fairies, believing that her "fairies" are filling the ship with love.[2] Tyson gives Izunavi and another bodyguard copies of her book, the "Book of Tyson", which she believes to be capable of bringing about world peace. As she dances off with a third bodyguard, Izunavi and the other bodyguard peek at her bible's first chapter and make a face when they see its title is "Love will always prevail".[3]

Tyson does not send any of her Royal Bodyguards to study Nen under Kurapika.[11] At night on the 2nd day, she asks Izunavi and Giuliano if they have read her book and whether their hearts are being changed. The latter lies, praising the book, whereas Izunavi admits he has not read it yet. Tyson forgives him, stating everyone does things at a different pace. She then guarantees her teachings will awaken a hidden power in the two.[12]

Tyson delighted by her bodyguards' rock performance

In the morning of the 3rd day, she preaches to her employees that love will always prevail, citing verses from her book that a bodyguard recognizes as being from a famous singer. While her Guardian Spirit Beast spawns more Eye-wogs, she leads her employees in a series of exercises.[4]

During the first banquet on the 8th day, Tyson has all her bodyguards perform. Her personal army sings a cappella and the two Hunters in her employ do a rock performance, both of which leave her delighted. Later, she is briefly transfixed by Melody's flute.[13]

On the 10th day of the voyage, Tyson organizes a surprise party for Giuliano and prepares the cake herself. When he states it is not his birthday, she replies that they will not get the chance to celebrate it before his contract ends. He is moved by her gesture, so she orders him to smile and to state, that her cake is delicious even if the ingredients are not in the correct ratio.[7]

In Room 1006, Tyson introduces one of her employees as Madwig, a handsome hitman with amnesia. He says that even though he only remembers how to use a handgun, Tyson still hired him. The second introduces himself as Himoncé, the world's biggest star, and says that Tyson is the first girl who has said he wasn't her type. The third introduces himself as Anzel and reveals that he is Tyson's little brother, adding that only he and Tyson know about it. The fourth introduces himself as Hyuga, a legendary tutor, and says that he can get you into your dream school even if you're incredibly dumb. The last introduces themselves as a prince from the planet Moony in the SR Nebula, revealing that they have come to the planet to look for a bride. Giuliano realizes that each of them is performing one of Prince's favorite roles, but Tyson playfully rebukes him and replies that they have all been reborn, telling Giuliano that the same will happen to him. She then tells him that he will be a bodyguard who looks flirtatious but is actually pure at heart, and Giuliano plays along with her request.[8]

Watching on, Izunavi notes that while Giuliano isn't any different now, he becomes too calm when reading Tyson's book, guessing that it's linked to her Guardian Spirit Beast's ability. He then wonders if they can use it to influence the King and have him end the succession contest since it focuses on preaching love. He asks Tyson if she has given the book to the other Princes. Tyson replies that she gave it to the lower Princes and their mothers and guesses that they likely kept the book but did not read it. She explains that she's in a dubious position in line to the throne and has little influence. Izunavi asks if she has given it to the King, and she replies that she wants to believe he has since giving Nasubi a copy of her book was her condition for participating. Tyson needs her mother Katrono's permission to see Nasubi, so she asks her mother to give him a copy. She reveals that she initially planned not to join the contest, but her mother was disappointed by how she turned out and did not expect any grandchildren from her. She explains that her mother couldn't stand it when the other Queens looked at her with pity and that while her mother wanted to get revenge in the succession contest, she only fought with the power of love. Izunavi then wonders if she could ask her mother to speak to the King and have him read her book at the next banquet, emphasizing that it could change the fate of the ship. Tyson is happy to hear him say that and promises to negotiate with her mother.[8]

Tyson reads Kacho's letter and is shocked by its content

Between 6:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. on the eleventh day of the voyage, 11th Prince Fugetsu passes a letter written by her recently-deceased sister 10th Prince Kacho to Tyson. Tyson receives the news with a look of sad surprise. Unbeknownst to Tyson, the contents of the letter were information that Kaiser from the Ministry of Justice had decided would be useful for them to give to her.[14] Tyson reads the letter.[15]

Later, Tyson sings from her book to three of her guards, who cheer for her.[16]

This particular issue arose when their mother Queen Sevanti sent all of Momoze's Hunters and servants to Marayam. Since we only got to see 4/5 of Momoze's Hunters and 2/3 of her servants by that time, we can't say for certain which prince the marked characters initially belonged to.


Abilities & Powers[]

As a prince of Kakin, Tyson holds significant political power and wealth, although not on the level of the elder princes.[5][8]

Guardian Spirit Beast[]

Tyson's Guardian Spirit Beast

Tyson's Guardian Spirit Beast

Like the rest of her siblings, Tyson received an egg from which a Guardian Spirit Beast hatched to protect her.[1] As a parasitic-type ability, she has no control over it, nor can she see it. The Guardian Spirit Beast is subjected to two rule-like instincts: it is unable to fight other Guardian Spirit Beasts as well as to attack the host of one directly.[2]

Tyson's Guardian Spirit Beast
Type: Emission (Diffusive Levy Type)
Tyson Nen beast
Tyson's Guardian Spirit Beast is an Emitter with a diffusive levy type ability. It takes the appearance of a heart shape with four small wings and a big eye at the center.[4] From a sphincter-like opening at its bottom it lays smaller Nen beasts about the size of a lizard, with a large eye for a head, prehensile hands, and a tadpole-like tail.[2][note 1] These "Eye-wogs" (()(だま)ジャクシ()()()()()()()(), Medama Jakushi) attach themselves to anyone who comes across Tyson's teachings, collecting aura from them and bestowing happiness in return. The degree of happiness received depends on how thoroughly one has read the Book of Tyson. Should Tyson's teachings' one and only taboo be broken, harsh punishment will be meted out.[4]

Notes

  1. Similar Nen beasts have appeared in Room 1014 when it was first swarmed with Nen beasts in Chapter 360; the ones that appeared in Room 1014 had a lizard-like tail rather than a tadpole-like tail. However, since these two design are so unique compared to any other creature, they are generally considered to be the same Nen beast. It is also possible that the Nen beasts have some way to adjust their own tails.
