Soda (ソーダ Sōda?) is a playable character in Jet Set Radio Future and a member of the GG's. His role in the game is minimal and recruiting him is optional.

Overview[]

Appearance[]

Soda is a very distinguishable character and his clothes undergo a significant color change from his Jet Set Radio counterpart. His most prominent features are his tall stature and large oblong nose (resembling the famous graffiti character Kilroy). He is virtually bald, save for what look like three dyed orange braids that stick straight up from the very top of his head. He wears a teal jacket with a high collar that masks the lower half of his face. His name written in neon green katakana (ソーダ) is embroidered on the jacket's left side and what appears to be a stylized zipper on its right. Soda now adorns goggles with green lenses on his forehead. He also wears light green pants and black gloves with a stylized insignia of his name. His skates are now teal sporting a neon green spiral pattern. Its plates have a neon streak with orange wheels attached.

Personality[]

According to his dialogue, Soda expresses a rather indifferent attitude to the world around him and more keen on his own interest. When he is first encountered, he appears more concerned with being entertained than anything, expressing a demand to do so, and will scoff the player off if they decline his request. His reasoning to join the GG's is because he had nothing better to do displaying his aloof nature. He is knowledgeable about Rokkaku's corp, stating he has his own sources as well as after the Noise Tanks invasion, his statement about the integrity of Rokkakku products enforce where his current fixations lie. Soda's lax nature is also displayed about Clutch. His first remark about Clutch shows a slight upset at his actions, but displays an indifference when he laughs it off telling Clutch to just stay out of trouble after Clutch joins the gang.

The only case where the situation at hand overturns his distant attitude is in chapter 8 where he states that the Golden Rhinos have finally started to get on his nerves; implying he did not care as much before. Furthermore, with the tower - Soda states he would rather being doing anything else than take part in that fight.

The JSRF Perfect Guidebook describes him to have a large frame, and is a character specialized for fast hits and endurance referencing his karate inspired tricks.

Role in Jet Set Radio Future[]

In Jet Set Radio Future, he hangs out at Highway Zero starting at chapter 6. He stays there until the player talks to him, after which he simply says, "Dude, I'm bored. Entertain me", and makes the player race him around Highway Zero. Afterwards, he joins the GG's and becomes a playable character, but only because, as he puts it: "It's not like I've got something better to do". From that point onwards, he can be seen dancing idly on the left end of the stereo in the garage.

Dialogue and noted interactions[]

Dialogue
Chapter # Quote
Chapter 6 Debut
  • Dude. I'm bored. Entertain me.
  • C'mon! Quit fooling around! [Choosing Yes]
  • Hmph. What a bore. [Choosing No]
  • Heh. Maybe I'll join you guys. Cuz, well, it's not like I got somethin' better to do. [Victorious] ["Soda" has joined you!]

After unlocking Soda, but going back to the garage.

After defeating all the Noise Tanks.

  • Man, the Noise Tanks were made so shoddily, you couldn't even make a calculator out of their parts. Rokkaku-brand products have too many defects.
Chapter 7 Clutch appears.
  • So is that Clutch guy in with Rokkaku too? Or is he just a little punk?

Called to the Fortified Residential Zone

  • I'm about ready.
  • Heh... Stay outta trouble. [When speaking to Clutch]
Chapter 8 During the Golden Rhinos attack.

Before confronting Gouji.

  • I got better things to do than play house with Gouji Rokkaku, but man, that big ugly thing has GOT to go...
Chapter 9/Post game
Noted interactions
  • Combo - If Combo speaks to Soda, he will say: "What is UP with Yoyo anyway?!" This interaction could likely imply Soda may know more than most.
  • Clutch - After Clutch's theft, Soda wonders if he is working with the Rokkaku Group. After Clutch joins the GG's and if the player chooses to speak to Soda as Clutch, he will tell him to stay out of trouble.
  • Noise Tanks - During the Noise Tanks' raid on Tokyo, Soda notes that the robot gang is so poorly constructed together that it would not be possible to make a calculator out of their parts.

Official profile[]

Jet Set Radio Future Perfect Guidebook[]

  • While Soda has a large frame, he's still easy to use thanks to his high speed. He basically exists as a trump card for when you're struggling with large numbers of enemies or with falling off of high places.
