Ju
5-star/Sniper
Introduction
Ju is a 5-star character in Arknights. Ju's class is Sniper. Faction: Yan.
Profile
Ju carries the title "Remnant of a Yanese Feranmut". Ju is a male Undisclosed. His birthday is Claims to have forgotten, and he stands 182 cm tall. Ju is voiced by Wang Yifan in Chinese, Ronald M. Banks in English, Yutaka Aoyama in Japanese, and Lee Sang-beom in Korean.
Background
His name (矩; jǔ) initially means "try square".
When combined with the drawing tool compass (规; guī), it means "rule" (规矩; guī jǔ) based on the idiom "nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards" (无规矩不成方圆; lit.
"no circle and square can be drawn without compass and try square").
The whole concept of the Ju, including the Feranmut form, is based on Mozi and Mohism in Chinese philosophy; a school of philosophy that advocates ideals of "universal love", "condemnation of aggression", etc.
Mozi himself was also known as a scientist and craftsman.
Ju's design is a wooden robot and Bestial Ju is reminiscent to a complex wooden structure, referencing Mozi's identity as a craftsman with his mechanical technique, especially in carpentries.
His talent's Chinese name, 墨守 (mò shǒu), refers to one of the main Mohist ideals, "condemnation of aggression" (非攻; fēi gōng), that Mozi condemns aggression and war; therefore, Mozi advocated and was master of defending in wars, instead of offending.
In modern times, the word 墨守 has come to mean "clinging to old ways", referenced by the talent's English name "Dogmatist".
His first and second skills' names are both from the Mohism book "Mozi".
The phrases "Fine Bow, Difficult Draw" and "Fine Wings, Difficult Flight" are references of the text in the first chapter; the complete phrase is "a good bow is hard to draw, but it can shoot high and far; a good horse is hard to ride, but it can carry heavy weights and travel far." (良弓难张，然可以及高入深；良马难乘，然可以任重致远).
