Jack Garland

Jack is the main protagonist of Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin and wrestler in The Final Rumble.

I'm here to kill chaos.
Jack is the hired manager of the ramen chain restaurant "Cosmos". One day, a new ramen store called "Chaos" opens next to their store, stealing their customers and closing Jack's store. During the cleanup process, a gas pipe suddenly explodes, and Jack collapses into a coma. When he woke up, he saw a strange world in front of him. Jack had forgotten everything but his name and the word "Chaos"...

Season 0
Jack is a man with one simple goal: kill Chaos. He has trained for it and nothing will stop him from accomplishing his goal.

Episode 2

Fights Chaos.

Episode 4

During his quest to kill Chaos, he decides to try out the White Mage class, and tries to look for equipment of the class in a dumpster, finding instead Kasuga Ichiban. He notices he must have been wounded by Chaos, and heals him, curing his Sleep status in the process. He is also a man who was wronged by Chaos, and a group of agents of Chaos shows up, who prove too much for him in his White Mage job, and they are put back in the dumpster by Chaos.

Episode 5
The two dumpster heroes awaken once again after being put out another week by Chaos, but now they will be wise and pack some sleep immunity to fight Chaos. When making their way out, they have an encounter with The Police of Chaos, who have tightened the security since Coolsville Hills' grand opening by Chaos and decide to check on any suspicious individuals. Despite Ichiban's confidence on being empty, Officer Chaos finds a strange bill in his pocket with a chaotic stain that Ichiban doesn't remember having, which Ooishi explains can only come from a very chaos place. Asking for further questioning in his AC cooled car, Ichiban and Jack have to kindly reject his chaotic offer, but Ooishi has to call backup from Chaos to serve justice.

Being mentally unsound as well, Jack shares Ichiban's Ichivision™ for the fight and sees his enemies as Onishi and Helios too.

The might of Chaos proves too much and the heroes have to take a stroll to the nearby police station.

Episode 6

Jack's first time at the prison of Chaos, but he will not be stopped.

The cop that brought them here has a short conversation with a shady guy, but luckily Jack can read lips to ascertain that he is briefing him on the status of Chaos. Ichiban admires that he must've learned at the school in Oubanara and his stat gains, when suddenly the cop turns on a devilish smile, which must be Chaos making fun of them! Then, Sinbad enters and starts talking with the cop, certainly explaining where the root of Chaos comes from, Jack states it comes from Chaos (Ichiban doesn't quite get it and asks him to explain it to him later with a blackboard). The cop turns on a pissed expression, then smiles again and then Sinbad walks in their direction; Ichiban asks him how they plan to escape, but apparently it was all a misunderstanding and they are all cleared to leave. It's a good thing to have the king's charisma on their side!

Episode 7

Ichiban is grateful for having Sinbad pay their meal at McDonalds, which is the least he could do since he accepted his request, and Jack finally confirms his sandwich was NOT poisoned by Chaos. The three have a good time together (save for Sinbad's hamburger having pickles, in contradiction to his preference stated in his 3rd book). Eventually, Ichiban needs to take a leak, and on the bathroom spots the shady figure that was talking with the cop in the station, and remembers Jack's words: Be aware of Chaos lurking in the bathroom", and follows him through the back door.

Sinbad and Jack arrive just as the fight ends, and Chaos decides to flee from the unfair situation. Moreso, Sinbad advises Ichiban and Jack not to pursue without planning, because that man is the right-hand man of Chaos, Seeker, a dynamic and magnificent enemy. Moreover, they'll need to be careful around the city of Chaos now that they are known, especially with a face like Sinbad's.

Once they leave, a dimes figure silently approaches at a distance to them...

Episode 8

Before heading to their next objective, Ichiban, Jack and Sinbad plan their strategy at the Survive Bar as The Bartender provides them with some assistance. As I was saying... It starts with Chaos.

And then, once Chaos takes roots...

It spreads Chaos!

When Chaos is spread, it leads to Cha- Before Jack can finish explaining the deep relations of Chaos, Sinbad says it's time to leave, Ichiban making sure he worked his 5 minutes at Ichiban Holdings for the day. Suddenly, the ground starts rumbling like someone used an earth skill, and Jack is sure it must be Chaos' Final Rumble... but when they go outside, they realize it's something much, much worse: HEAVY MACHINERY.

Despite all of them against him, the towering Chaos machine was unmovable. Just then, a hero named Serge appears, and through his extremely long intro, HEAVY MACHINERY was put to sleep and then woke to go take a piss. Ichiban is ecstatic at meeting a silent JRPG hero that could so easily inflict sleep and begs him to go with them, and Sinbad says that he wanted to join the party!

When they head beyond the distraction, a dimes figure comments that with four of them, things are getting real interesting...

Episode 9

After an excellent karaoke performance by Serge, a mechanical roar resonates and Chaos' servants arrive. His right-hand man Seeker will not have them escape again and has brought Chaos' left-hand man, Jason, along with a prototype weapon of mass chaos to drive chaos into their heart. The mere sight of him makes Ichiban tremble, but Serge's fearless expression invigorates him with confidence to face a fraction of Chaos' full power.

Episode 10

After such a difficult battle, Ichiban & friends rest in a bowling bar (where Sinbad is adept at breaking pins too) when Ichiban witnesses an incredible display of skill, and the person responsible for it introduces himself as Okada Kazuchika "The Rainmaker". Okada has been scouting Ichiban and asks him to join his cause, but Hayashi Hiroshi comments on Okada's choice since he seems "far below The Dragon's level", when Jack calls them CHAOS and lunges at Okada only to be blocked by Heat O'Brien and Bob Utsunomiya. Ichiban is surprised Chaos is actually real and rejects their offer because he hates when party members leave, but Sinbad tells him to be careful since they are as formidable as KaibaCorp, and since he won't join them the easy way, Okada decides it's time to test Ichiban.

Okada gives credit to Ichiban for his potential as leader, and their team escapes. Sinbad tells Ichiban to calm down since pursuing them any further would be pushing their luck, but the remark makes Jack exclaim that they aren't taking Chaos as serious a threat as they are, and runs off to purse Chaos by himself. Ichiban tries to tell him to come back, but it's not use, and hopes he'll be back for the next boss battle...

Episode 11

When the meeting of Ichiban's Party and CHAOS with KaibaCorp goes sour after Ichiban and Okada reject to sign Seeker's deal, he calls forth Jack who he has contracted and he arrives at the restaurant with his full mercenary squad, pissed off at Chaos rejecting a deal to protect peace. Sinbad signals Ichiban from the door, and Okada also follows, managing to escape the ambush.
