Biology[]
Maiden Ruin is a large Yo-kai that resembles a Shakōki-dogū. Her body looks similar to a dōtaku (Jōmon period bronze bell).
Her clay body is of a greenish-blue color, with several darker and lighter decorations. There is a red light on her forehead, and a magenta colored wisp on top of her head. Her eyes appear to half-closed, her lids being of a light yellow color, with two more red lights acting as pupils. Her chest is decorated with three pink orbs, and she appears to be wearing two others as earrings.
Her torso is vaguely bell-shaped, and she has no legs.
Maiden Ruin will fiercely protect the ruins she is the guardian of. Despite this, she appears to have a habit of keeping intruders that happen to catch her fancy with her, to feel less lonely.
Maiden Ruin has the ability to conjure up fire balls and use them to attack her enemies. She can also fire beams from her forehead, seal enemies in stone boxes, and use strange dancing to briefly immobilize enemies. Aside from her regular moves, she also has the ability to teleport herself.

In the anime[]
Maiden Ruin debuted in EP179, Great, Great, Great Adventure! Busters Treasure! (Japanese: 大大大冒険！ バスターズトレジャー！ Dai Dai Dai Bōken! Basutāzu Torejā!) where she was protecting the Beginner Ruins (Japanese: ハジマリ遺跡 Hajimari Iseki).
After Indiana Jaws accidentally activates a switch in the dungeon's treasure chamber, Maiden Ruin bursts from a wall and starts chasing him, Jibanyan T, and Komasan T, demanding that they return the treasure they took. They try charging the Yo-kai Magnum with Jibanyan T's energy, but it is not enough to defeat her. However, the treasure turns out to have been Meopatra's emblem, using her energy to charge the weapon proves to be far stronger, and manages to blast Maiden Ruin far away.
Etymology[]
- "Dogushakko" is derived from Shakoki-dogu.
- "Maiden Ruin" is a combination of maiden and ruin. It also sounds like "made in ruin."
- "Doncella de la Ruina" means "Ruin's Maid."
- "Ruinenmain" combines Ruinenmauer (Wall of ruins) and "Hüterin" (Keeper).
Origin[]
Maiden Ruin is based on dogū, mysterious clay figurines from the Jōmon period that are theorized to be vessels for magic or purification rituals, but little is known of their true purpose. In particular she mimics the appearance of shakōki-dogū, or "goggle-eyed dogū", the most iconic and well known type. Pseudo-archaeologists believe them to be out-of-place artifacts, or even representations of ancient aliens.
Trivia[]
- When Maiden Ruin uses her Soultimate in Blasters T, Sgt. Burly may incorrectly refer to her as male.
