Jinn[]

World: Garothman
Origin: Arabic Mythology/The Lamp Genie - 1001 Arabian Nights
Rarity: 3*(Fire), 5*(Fire)
Artist: Bombom
Voiced by: Kentaro Ito
A smoke genie who works as an assistant teacher to the protagonist's class at Shinjuku Academy. He always wears a tracksuit and wields a bamboo sword to discipline students. Jinn is usually carefree and gives student freedom of spirits. He doesn't get along with Trion due to his particularity towards school rules but find Mononobe as the ideal teacher. His Lamp Sacred Artifact used to be his imprisonment and is used to being in cramped places.

Bowdlerise: Slightly. His appearance in the commercial opening omits any highlight and outline of his crotch.
Carpet of Virility: Has one, in contrast to Triton
Fairy Tale Motifs: He is based on the lamp genie from Aladdin.
Our Genies Are Different: He is specifically a smoke genie, which, according to Ifrit, aren't susceptible to water as him.
Playing with Fire: His element
Rare Random Drop: While normally all of the units doesn't have limited summoning period for their base variants, this doesn't hold true for Jinn as he can only be summoned in the Seaside Event Banner, or the rare double rate up for both him and Triton.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Jinn, also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genie, have their origin from pre-Islamic Arabia. The folklore states they are either demons of the wild or pagan demigods. In Islam, they are nature spirits where good ones that are blue can lead them down the path of Allah. There are also Ifrit, a type of red djinn embodied by fire, which guide people towards evil.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Run around in what's practically an underwear. His alternate skin switches it out for a (comparatively) modest short.

Triton[]

World: Olympus
Origin: Triton - Greek Mythology
Rarity: 3*(Water), 4*(Water)
Artist: Bombom
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa
A Shinjuku Academy teacher that loves his students while competing with Jinn to be the better teacher. Triton has a serious nature and is very strict to the rule contrasting Jinn's laid back approach and dynamic personality. Him being a merman means he's very good in aquatic environments and acts as an advisor to the water polo and swim teams. Triton is descended from one of the 12 gods of Olympus and uses his Conch Sacred Artifact to control the waves of the ocean.

A Day in the Limelight: The Island Raider Arc gives one to Triton with him spending time with the protagonist and his newfound students while also dives into his past with Dagon.
Authority Equals Asskicking: He is the Sea God Triton, son of Poseidon, though he prefers to be a good teacher than the ruler of oceans.
Enemy Without: Dagon is this to him, being the discarded part of Triton into the world of Canaan in order for Triton to become a teacher.
Our Mermaids Are Different: Unlike the fellow mob mermaid and mermen, the only things that remind that Triton belongs to the same race are the fins on his arms and ankles.
Rare Random Drop: While normally all of the units doesn't have limited summoning period for their base variants, this doesn't hold true for Triton as he can only be summoned in the GoGo Island Event Banner, or the rare double rate up for both him and Jinn.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Triton is the name of the Greek God of the Sea and son to Poseidon and Amphitrite, who are also deities of the sea. He is often depicted with a conch shell that he blows like a trumpet.
Shark Teeth: Has them.
Shout-Out: Triton having a legs instead of tail like in the original Greek Mythology may be a reference to Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid, who wishes to have a pairs of leg due to her fascination of the surface world and its people, similar to Triton who left Olympus and became a teacher in the world of Tokyo due to his passion of teaching. Notably, his other half Dagon shares similar theme with the Sea Witch Ursula.
