Jibanyan

Jibanyan is the deuteragonist of Zuma Luxor PLUS. Officially, he is a character from Yo-Kai watch who is the reincarnation of Rudy and was based off of the Nekomata from Chinese and Japanese folklore.

Role In The Story
Jibanyan was captured by Dr. Sapphire to prevent the slightest possibility of Garfian existing once again, which could've happened if every 'Nyan was in one place. Because of his time spent in captivity, Jib has gained enough knowledge to become something of a god. He can telepathically communicate with anyone now, evidenced by his brief conversations with the player every time they're closer to Set's realm.

At first, he warns the player to quit while they're ahead, as the levels they'll face in the future will be much harder than the ones they've bested so far. But after witnessing what they're capable of via Stage 9 being completed, he convinces them to press on until Set, Dr. Sapphire, and the entirety of Stage 13 is beaten.

After being freed, Jibanyan refers to the player as his brother and gives him a medal. Once they return to their home in Egypt, they are rewarded with an endless amount of gold. Jib celebrates by vibing. The End.

Trivia

 * The Jibanyan image that replaces the god head seen whenever you complete a level in the original Zuma was taken from Yo-Kai Watch: Wibble Wobble.
 * According to Darius, Jibanyan being in Zuma Luxor PLUS makes sense because he's a cat and cats were treated as gods in ancient Egyptian times.
