The low part of his attire is purple and dark blue in color, with a star pattern, and ends in a wispy manner. He completes his attire with a pierrot hat, green and red colored in the sides.

Slackerjack appears in Chapter 4 of Hailey's story, in which he lures small children with a tune of his flute, among them Hailey's little brother Riku. After being fought and defeated by Hailey and Usapyon, he confesses he was being a bit lonely and agrees to release the children.

Etymology

His Japanese name is derived from "yamerunja" (Japanese: やめるんじゃ, "Stop it"). Notably the "ja" part of it is written with the kanji "邪", which can be translated as "evil". Adding to that, the "Yāmerun" (Japanese: ヤーメルン, "Yāmerun") part of his name is very similar to "Hāmerun" (Japanese: ハーメルン, "Hāmerun"), which is the Japanese name of the German town of Hamelin, where the fairytale of the "Pied Piper of Hamelin" is said to have taken place. Furthermore, "-sensei" (Japanese: 先生, "-sensei") is a respectful title used when adressing teachers, doctors, and the like.

His English name is a portmanteau of the word slacker and Cracker Jack; a term to describe an upstanding person, which is combined with slacker

Origin

He most likely pays homage to the "Pied Piper of Hamelin" fairytale.
