Personality

Zerubabel usually behaves very calm, much different from the usual delinquents that frequent Third Division. Having a good control over his own emotions and being known to be very bottled up: no one knows what he is really thinking at the moment. But the most striking part of his personality is, of course, his love for good fights - a trait that he also shares with Jennings. When the oportunity to face a worthy opponent arises, Zerubabel will think very little about any kind of consequences that his actions may provoke, something that gets very obvious on his first bout against Jem. During his fights with Jennings, he is shown to be laughing and enjoying the battle while everyone around is worried. He also has respects for strong fighters especially Jem and Oga, whom sometimes he regards as a stronger fighter than himself. Another thing he also shares with Jennings on terms of personality is his lack of intellect and focus on more passive matters, being, evidently, more interested on resolving any kind of problem he has to face with his own bare hands. He also has a fond to cute or little animals and things, like cats or even Solomon - when they first met. Zerubabel is exceedingly laid back (belying his true ferocity) and is often unresponsive to things that seem abnormal. He is shown to be more worried about his part time job than any other thing. He is shown to be working in all different kinds of jobs varying from construction sites to a sales vendor. Even after being kidnapped and undergoing a strip search, he remained asleep. He is also described as a good guy by normal standards and helped all students after the destruction at Third Division.

Despite occasionally arguing with Imo, Zerubabel has a very strong sense of connection with his team-mates and allies, first seen when he regretted being unavailable and therefore unable to help with retrieving Lynx Jem. From that point onwards, he resolved to work on his teamwork skills with Imo and Aoi. He even helped Aoi to improve her abilities, and is one of the few people, besides Excon, who openly professes confidence in her. The fruits of his efforts are seen where Zerubabel was able to carry out a mission successfully while also keeping others safe. He also proves to be able to understand his team-mates' inner workings, sensing when the slightest of things is wrong with either of them.

Abilities and Powers

Zerubabel is one of the most powerful villains in Third Division, although he appeared to be weaker than many characters as powerful as he is due to the fact that Jem had complete immunity to most of Zerubabel's gas based attacks, and was even able to hypnotize Zerubabel, thanks to his Devil Fruit powers. Zerubabel's strength is first demonstrated when he effortlessly defeats Urouge. Furthermore, Zerubabel easily defeats another Mercenary, Zatch.

Zerubabel has a great knowledge and awareness of objects that many Bounty Hunters would usually not have, such as an understanding of what dials are, partly due to studying the ruins of Upper Yard. This awareness allows him to keep these items for himself believing he is truly worthy of them.

Zerubabel also possesses incredible physical strength and is usually portrayed as very acrobatic and childish, often doing backflips with one hand, and has an above average endurance, shrugging off most of Jem's attacks. Zerubabel also stomped Urouge to the ground with his foot, causing the ground to shake as a result. Urouge commented about his strength afterwards in sheer shock and terror.
