Again, preaching to the choir. XD
Much like you said, Jacuzzi definitely grew into the character I cheered the loudest for at the end. I mean, when the series starts, you're immediately drawn to how crazy awesome Firo is or how crazy hilarious Isaac and Miria are. Jacuzzi starts off as a bit-player, and doesn't look anywhere near as showy or intense as the other members of the cast. But it was his side of the story that kept me coming back. It was his empathy and conviction in the face of death that awed me far more than Firo or Chez-kun's good looks, Isaac and Miria's humor, and Ladd Russo or the Rail Tracer's insanity. Which doesn't diminish them, by the way; it just makes him stand out in an ensemble cast of titans.
Baccano!: Come for the Firo, stay for the Jacuzzi!
*sigh* Dispatched, in mankind's darkest hour, we are Knights of the Blue Flame.
