Ai

Ai is a character in Puyo Puyo Tetris. He is the chief engineer on the Starship Tetra. He normally acts like a knowledgeable gentleman, but is easily reduced to a whimpering mess when bullied or panicking.

Like the other Tetris-based characters (with the exception of Ex, who is named after a Pentomino), he is named after a Tetrimino. The namesake Tetrimino motif is visible on his boots. His dropset is identical to Donguri Gaeru's, along with his Puyo Puyo AI. He is based on the I Tetrimino.

Biography

Appearance

Ai takes the appearance of a tall, humanoid dog. His skin color is a very pale color of beige, and he also has cyan-colored irises. He wears tight blue clothes similar to Tee's, with button-imbued clothes with cyan linings. The two notable parts of these clothes are the ones covering his shoulders and back legs. He wears gloves on his hands, coupled with boots on his feet.

Personality

Ai is very intelligent. As the engineer of the Spaceship Tetra, he is in charge of maintaining it in good condition and repairing it when it becomes broken. He also speaks in a very calm and refined matter. However, he is prone to being startled by others, especially Jay and Elle. In this panicking persona, he exhibits a dog-like behavior and barking at others when confronted. A battle with him usually calms him down and he then returns to his usual self.

Abilities

Ai's spells include Beautiful, Gorgeous, Magnificent, Exquisite, and Dazzling, all of which are synonyms relating to prettiness or beauty. In the Japanese version, he says Beautiful in different languages. He also carries a plumb bob in the shape of a small gray cone attached to a string. Although he uses it during his chain animations, he is not shown to be using it outside of battle.

Relationships

Ex
As revealed in Ex's dream chapter during Puyo Puyo Tetris, Ai was adopted by Ex as a puppy. Ex comments that Ai was merely a runt when he adopted him long ago. Ai seems to have a deep respect for Ex and looks up to him as a father figure.
Jay & Elle
The duo like to pull pranks on Ai, such as lacing his dog food with spice, tying a bow on his tail, or just outright making fun on him, much to his dismay.
Risukuma
Ai seems to get along with Risukuma, probably due to their scientific prowess and love for science. The two worked together to repair the Starship Tetra and get it to work again in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

Trivia

  • Like Risukuma, his spell clips consist of a phrase in different languages— in his case, "Beautiful".
    • In the English version, these are changed to synonyms for "Beautiful".
  • Alternate Voice notes:
    • In Puyo Puyo Tetris, he has a flat, robot-like voice, similar to Risukuma's alt. voice in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary.
      • In the English version, his voice becomes more dog-like.
    • In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, his voice become deeper and more suave.
      • In the English version, he gains an Australian accent, and his voice become deeper and grittier.
  • Interestingly, Ai's English alternate voice file in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 contains a leftover from the first Puyo Puyo Tetris, where the voice file that would be used for his fifth online greeting instead having Japanese alternate voice clip for his fourth spell from the first game, as Alt. Voice of Online Greetings are unused. A similar situation occurs with Sonic.
