He is a purple cat Yo-kai with a light purple face. Its nose is magenta, while the inner ear is golden-yellow. Over its eyes are a pair of sharp sunglasses, revealing the scar over the left one. He has a dark-purple pompadour. He wears a dark-blue outfit with the kanji for 'Rebel' on the back and a pair of black shoes. The tail flames are lime-green.
Baddinyan, like Roughraff, acts like a very tame delinquent. He speaks rudely, eats sweets before dinner, and litters. Due to still being Jibanyan he adds 'nyan' to his sentences.
Like Roughraff, his Inspirit makes others turn to delinquency.
The player has to go to the apartments in Shopper's Row, where Roughraff and Coughkoff are arguing over who is spikier. To obtain Baddinyan, the player has to speak to Roughraff and say he's the spikier one. He will then fuse with Jibanyan to form into Baddinyan, the fusion breaking apart after Baddinyan gives the player their medal. Note that, this encounter is unlocked during Chapter 3 "School Is Strange" in the main story.
Baddinyan can only be freed from the Crank-a-kai with 3000 Y-Money, a Pink Coin, or a Five-Star Coin, though the player could also get him in Stage 44 during the Terror Time Event.
Freed from the Crank-a-kai (Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble): "Heh. Dude, you got no idea how lucky you are!"
Blasters T Camp: "Nyice ta beatcha! Let's beat it!"
In the anime[]
In Here Comes Roughraff, Jibanyan is inspirited by Roughraff and transforms into Baddinyan, promptly developing a rebellious streak, which turns out to be amusingly tame, consisting of petty misdeeds like eating two Chocobars at a time and scattering the wrappings around.
Jibanyan is transformed into Baddinyan in Titanics Of The Caribbean in the role of a pirate captain for the pirate scene of Directator's latest film "Yo-Titanic-ai" where he was assisted by B3-NK1, Dazzabel, and Roughraff.
He was also briefly seen in Mochismo's Recap. He was silent for most of the time, but the only quote he uttered was "Yeah, He's Tough!" At the end.
He also appears in Katie's Yo-kai Butler, as one of parallel-universe Katie's Yo-kai inside her bedroom.
Etymology[]
"Baddinyan" is a portmanteau of baddie and nyan.
"Warunyan" is similar, but instead combines with warui (悪い, "bad, evil, rascal").
"Pelochnyan" is a combination of "Peluche" (Doll), "Pelo" (Hair) and "Nyan."
"Grobinyan" is a combination of "grob" (rough) and "nyan."

Trivia[]
Baddinyan's altered Korean Yo-kai Medal design.
Baddinyan's Japanese Soultimate name contains an old slang typical of the delinquent youth that was often used in graffiti, namely writing yoroshiku (よろしく, "nice to meet you") with the individual kanji for "night," "dew," "death," and "suffering" (夜露死苦) formed into one homophonic string.
The Japanese name of the Pompadour skill is the local name for the ducktail hairstyle, which got its name from London's Regent Street.
In the anime, Baddinyan is one of the few forms Jibanyan has who is simply inspirited by another Yo-kai, rather than being fused together.
Baddinyan's Korean Yo-kai Medal was slightly changed to remove the Japanese kanji letters with "BAD" in English.
Baddinyan is the first Yo-kai who never befriended or gave his medal to Nate in Yo-kai Watch.
Baddinyan is one of the characters for the Rohto Eye Drops commercials in Japan, representing as the antagonist.
Baddinyan's "random" nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 2 are: Badboy, Junior, Sonny, and Pompable.
