/jiren/ - Jiren

J

This powerful and resonating letter often attaches itself to those of lofty ambition; an individual who stands ready to tackle any task head-on, no matter the difficulty of said tribulation, can often be found with this letter somewhere in their name. It is also typically a letter of justice, which carries a particularly relevant meaning in the case of this magnanimous justiciar.

I

A letter that is symbolic of intuition and an "inner" quality, in this case "inner strength". All of Jiren's actions can be ultimately attributed to the eventual acquisition of true inner strength, an innate oneness that coalesces the physical and spiritual shells into a harmonious whole.

R

An ancient abbreviation denoting the highest form of monarchy, i.e. "king". Jiren's very nature precludes the necessity of such a grandiose term, yet he could very well be considered the "king" of strength, as his prowess is enough to bend time itself to his whims.

E

This letter represents the ability to easily adapt to any new or unexpected situation, no matter its potential unfamiliarity, fitting with Jiren's nearly effortless defeat of UI, an esoteric and deific technique thought to be impossible to surpass even by its most stalwart practitioners, the angels themselves. This trait almost manifests as a willingness to understand and accept opposing philosophical viewpoints, as Jiren did when confronted with Goku's alien mindset. This suggests an astoundingly mature and advanced intellect.

N

A letter that, in mathematics, represents a natural number. This is a clear reference to Jiren's innate quantum powers, a theme that has never before been addressed in shonen, or indeed in all of fiction, and further underscores the masterful craftsmanship of the illustrious scholars at Toei Animation.
