Bubblun

Personality:   He is a Bubble Dragon, and the twin brother of Bob. He lives in Rainbow Village on Rainbow Island with his parents and twin brother, and his human form is known as Bubby. Bub is generally portrayed as being rowdy and cheerful, always looking for adventure, as well as being very optimistic. He shares a close relationship with his twin brother, Bob, and the two have gone on many adventures together. Bub's catchphrase is "Payonpah!", a nonsense word that he often exclaims happily. This phrase first appeared in the Puzzle Bobble series, but later made its way over to the main series of games. Bub's favorite food is fruit, while his least favorite food is umeboshi. He once ate one, mistaking it for a cherry, but did not like the sour taste. His hobby is exploring new and unknown places, and dreams of becoming an adventurer. Bub is a green bubble dragon with yellow spines. He has reddish-pink arms and feet, as well as a white stomach area. Like most bubble dragons, Bub has a single visible tooth in the upper middle part of his mouth. In some titles in the series, Bub is shown wearing goggles and a satchel. Bub's trademark ability involves producing and firing bubbles from his mouth. If the bubbles make contact with an opponent, they get trapped inside, allowing Bub to pop the bubble with his spines in order to defeat them. Along with utilizing the bubbles to attack foes, Bub is also able to jump on them in order to reach new heights. In addition to his normal bubbles, several games have allowed Bub to charge up his bubbles, the effect of which varies from game to game. The first game Bub was shown to be able to use this ability in was Bubble Symphony, though both Bubble Bobble Part 2 and Bubble Bobble Junior featured similar mechanics for their protagonists. In Bubble Symphony, each of the four playable characters has a different formation of bubbles that they can fire. Bub is able to shoot three bubbles straight forward, trapping any enemies directly in front of him. Bub retains the ability to charge his bubbles in Bubble Memories, albeit with a new twist. By charging up his bubbles, Bub can unleash a Giant Bubble (巨大バブル Kyodai Baburu) which can trap multiple enemies at once. This ability returns in Bubble Bobble Revolution in the form of the Charge Bubble (チャージバブル Chāji Baburu), which in addition to trapping multiple enemies, can bounce off of walls. After bouncing off of a wall, if the Charge Bubble collides with Bub, he will enter it and perform the Rolling Bubble (ローリングバブル Rōringu Baburu) technique, which allows him to charge into enemies and defeat them. In Bubble Bobble Double Shot, Bub gains the ability to blow Thunder Bubbles after obtaining a Crystal Ball. Bub is also stated to possess magical abilities due to his parents being magic users; this is shown via his human form in the Rainbow Islands series being able to utilize Rainbow Magic. Aside from his abilities as a Bubble Dragon, Bub is also skilled in sports, particularly those using a ball. Bub's first appearance is in Bubble Bobble, where he appears as the main character alongside his brother, Bob. In the game's story, Betty and Patty, the brothers' girlfriends, wandered outside of their village and became lost in the Magician's Forest, where they were captured by Super Drunk. As the brothers try to rescue their girlfriends, Super Drunk uses his magic to transform them into Bubble Dragons, leaving them unable to return to human form. The duo set out to traverse the Cave of Monsters in order to rescue the girls. Upon reaching the bottom of the cave and defeating Super Drunk, Bub and Bob manage to rescue their girlfriends, as well as their parents, who were under the control of an unknown figure, as well as returning to human form. Bub serves as the main protagonist of Rainbow Islands, this time in his human form, known as Bubby. Bubby is shown being transformed into Bub by the Boss of Shadow's magic and thrust into a cage along with the transformed villagers of the Rainbow Islands if the player gets a Game Over while fighting the game's final boss. Bub appears once more as the main playable character in Bubble Bobble for the Game Boy. After Super Drunk Jr. kidnaps the four spirits that protect the spring of the Moon Water in Nemonemo Forest, Bobby falls ill. To attempt to save his brother, Bubby transforms into Bub once again to set out and retrieve the Moon Water, hoping its effects will cure him. After defeating Super Drunk Jr. and freeing the four spirits from captivity, the Spirit of the Water thanks Bub, returning the Moon Water to the spring, which revives the withering forest and cures Bobby of his ailment.

In Bub's ending, he throws a party with the other characters after defeating Dreg, but they end up leaving his house a mess when Bub wakes up the next day. The penultimate boss of the game, Debblun, resembles an overweight verison of Bub.

Snown has been captured by Develon, who is attempting to collect all the Cosmo Bubbles and rule the universe. Bub and Bob set off to collect the Cosmo Bubbles and free Snown, traveling through space. Eventually, Bub and Bob make their way to Cosmo Castle, where Develon is holding Snown. After the two almost manage to defeat Develon, he attempts to launch a final attack to finish the two off, stating he wishes to remove everyone's hopes and dreams with the Cosmo Bubbles, but Snown sacrifices himself to stop Develon, defeating him.

In the game's story mode, the four set out to rescue Rainbow Island after the Miniroons begin uncontrollably blowing bubbles, flooding the island with them. They traverse the island and help its people with their problems while clearing the bubbles, eventually discovering that Dreg is responsible for giving the Miniroons a potion that caused their bubble-blowing. Bub and friends eventually manage to defeat Dreg, who surrenders and gives the Miniroons a cure for the potion. However, this only exacerbates the rate at which they begin to blow bubbles, and Dreg panics, insisting it isn't his fault. Bub and friends eventually figure out that Katze had used his psychic powers to meddle with the remedy in an attempt to conquer the world.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble's postgame features Bub and friends coming upon the Rainbow Colony, an abandoned space colony of unknown origin.

Bub and Bob's friends all come to the colony to retrieve them, waking them up, but Bub insists on clearing the levels first. Unfortunately, the potion's effects worked too well on Develon, and he begins to antagonize the two dragons again, forgetting they had worked together to build the levels.

After defeating the Super Dark Great Dragon, Princess Lena thanks Bub and Bob, asking how she can repay them. She ends up giving the duo a ride home on a thunder cloud, much to Bob's chagrin, and the two head back to their house, resting up for their next big adventure. Bub and Bob's status as Bubble Dragons has been depicted inconsistently throughout the series. Originally, Bub was only a Bubble Dragon when under a curse, usually being turned back to human form by the end of the game, but later games either depict him as able to switch between forms at will, or having been indefinitely transformed into a Bubble Dragon for a period of time without the ability to return to human form. In a video on Bub's Broadcast, Bub states that does not mind being transformed into a Bubble Dragon because people say he is cute. Bub's birthday is on August 26..
