Personality

Tiny, and cute, Coconaut is shown to be brave and courageous despite of it's small size. He has two rods with a "X" and "O" on them, when asked a question he will answer by lifting either one up to indicate a right or wrong answer. He is noted in the manga especially, for his blank expression, though this is shown even in the anime most of the time.

In the manga he is as equally competitive as Bubblegum and Jitterbug and once rescued joins their fighting for things like breakfast.

Abilities

Coconaut has the ability to control the weather, the movement of the sea, and including the circulation of the wind in the sky. In his normal form, he lacks any kind of physical strength although could out run Bubblegum-kon's bullets. In the manga he can sense when a storm is coming.

Forms

• Bad Tranformation
• Super Tranformation

While in the water, Coconaut is unstoppable in this form, able to dive under the surface to avoid attacks and to make them.

Coconaut Master was shownt to be able to fire water out of his arm canon, and is powerful. It is quite slow and lacks agility, as Flint was shown to have to carry him when they are ascending set of stairs while attempting to put out Bubblegum-Kon's flame.

History

Manga

He appears in chapter 5, Merlock Holmes encounters him. He becomes the friend of the captain Christopher Columbus. While Merlock is explaining the situation about Vampires with Flint Hammerhead, Petra secretly stamps Coconaut and transforms him into Coconaut-kon.

In the battle between the two Time Detectives and himself, he manages to knock Merlock out when he suddenly pops out of the water catching him off guard. Flint realizes that he is too difficult to fight in the water and forces him out by peeing into the water next to him. Since in the fight he smashed the ships mast, he is tied to the ship and his powers are used to make sure Columbus makes it to land. He reverts back to normal when he remembers the way everyone treated him before his transformation.

Back in the future, he now joins in the battle over breakfast, transforming into Coconaut Master to battle Jitterbug and Bubblegum in their super forms.

Anime

Coconaut and Christopher Columbus meeting at sea

Coconaut is found by the famous seafarer Christopher Colombus, when he was a boy and trainee sailor. He is served as a compass to him if ever the weather condition is good or bad. Eventually when Christopher made his famous journey to the Americas, Coconaut went with him. After the events of episode 6, he returns with Flint to the 25th century.

In Episode 31, he was sent to aid Flint along with fellow Time Shifter Mosbee. He uses his powers to control water to refresh Flint. Once Flint is back on his feet, Cocnaunt, along with Mosbee and his older brother Dipper transform into their Master forms. The 3 defeat Super Ninja and send him flying.

Etymology

His name follows the typical naming scheme of the Shifters, being a word + an extra sound. In this case, the word is "Coco" in reference to a Coconut, and the triphonetic sound "ron" ("ロン").

His meeting of Christopher Columbus is also a play on words as "コロン" ("Corun") can be taken from "コロンブス" the Japanese way of writing "Columbus".

Trivia

• Coconaut's form of a coconut, is likely a reference to buoyant nature of the coconut fruit itself, which allows it to be carried on tides and contributes to its world-wide diversity.
• Coconaut was shown to have been with Christopher Columbus for a number of years. However, in the case of all other Shifters, no other is shown as having stayed the same length of time as the pair had stayed together.
