"Paraphone" is a real english word meaning "communication with the paranormal." Papi's surname may be Paraphone, since he is Popee's father and Paraphone is Popee's surname.However, his actions as seen in the show and status at the Wolf Zurkus are implied to have been distorted by Popee's vision. This seems to be supported further by the fact that Wakako Masuda retweeted fanart depicting him with the intersex pride flag. Papi is Popee's real father, but Popee believes his real Father is elsewhere.Somehow, Papi is unable to identify his wife and sometimes thinks Popee and Marifa's nursery school teacher is his wife.It is "unknown" if Marifa is Papi's biological daughter, but in the spin-off, Chinchikurin, Marifa is Papi's biological child-she simply has a different mother than her brother. Papi is Popee's biological father, but may have had a Nanny raise them due to his being a wandering performer.He uses his eye lasers ability to summon Alien. In episode 28, Papi has the ability to shoot lasers out of his eyes.Papi is the strongest character in the series, as he is able to send the moon down onto the Earth, causing the end of the world.Papi has died 11 times throughout the entire series.The manga describes him as "Always wandering about, doing things at his own pace." and that he loves himself to the point of squirming in agony. His conflicts with Popee can be further explained by the way the super-ego naturally clashes with the mediator ego. She refers to Papi as a portrayal of the super-ego: the rigid, controlling part of one's identity that represses desires in order to conform to expectations. Wakako Masuda referenced Sigmund Freud's personality theory while addressing questions about Papi. Papi also seems to have a good relationship with Alien, interacting with them casually where Popee and Kedamono are more wary to. Papi is very dedicated to and takes good care of his elephant car, Paola, and becomes vengeful whenever Popee defaces her. He becomes very upset when Popee proceeds to smack the bottle from his hands, shattering it when it hits the ground. In the episode「SLEEP」, when Kedamono winds a music box to help Popee sleep, Papi's maternal instincts kick in as he tries to feed Popee with a bottle. With his paternal side, Papi believes Popee has a long way to go.but with his maternal side, he also thinks that Popee's very cute. Papi accepts both the negatives and positives of those he loves, which is why his son, Popee, doesn't shy away from jealousy or envy (or other negative feelings), which typically leads to destruction. On the other hand, paternity, according to Masuda, is the power to "choose and move", and is characterized by weighing the negatives and positives and then making a decision, or judgement. Ryuji Masuda explained on twitter that the difference between the two is that maternity is the power to "produce and affirm", and is characterized by unconditional love. Papi was thought up as a character with both paternal and maternal qualities. Papi is dedicated to improving Popee's clowning performances, though his lessons are often extreme and unorthodox. Unlike his son, Papi seems to genuinely care about both Popee and Kedamono. Papi had hair when he was younger, but he may be bald now. He also sports a removable sun-shaped headpiece (which "puffs" up when very mad, and it also can be used as a weapon of sorts, like a shuriken) and an impressive, emotive mustache. Singer Prince Royce released a 2015 track, “Back It Up,” featuring Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, and the refrain: “ Dámelo papi chulo,” or “Give it to me, papi chulo.” It debuted at #27 Billboard’s Hot Latin charts.Papi has a muscular body and wears a yellow and orange skin-tight harlequin outfit with a purple fringe and fancy white gloves. The lyrics describe the singer’s night out with a hot man on the dance floor. The song peaked at #25 on Billboard charts in the United States but reached #1 in France, #2 in Belgium and Italy, and #3 in the Netherlands. The phrase papi chulo gained popularity with the 2003 release of the single “ Papi Chulo …Te Traigo El MMMM” by reggaeton artist Lorna. Papi chulo carries some of these connotations along with it into contemporary use, though the term is more often used today as slang for a sexy, confident man who dresses well. In the 1990s, when Mexican-Americans were referred to as chulos, the term carried with it overtones of class-lower-income gangsters and recent immigrant laborers were insultingly referred to as chulos. By the late 1980s, chulo was an insult, referring to an effeminate man or a pimp. A direct translation of papi chulo from Spanish is “pimp daddy,” with papi being a diminutive form of “father” (and used like “baby”) and chulo meaning “pimp” but also “attractive,” “cocky,” or “cool” in colloquial settings.Ĭhulo alone has a storied history in American English.
