Juu Niinpäs

Juu Niinpäs (real name unknown) is a main character and the protagonist of the series. First seen in the pilot episode, "Tältä päivältä nämä ", he is quickly shown drowning in Uppolä and apparently dying. His body is then harvested by the mysterious figure Nespuri to be used as building material for a compressed cube of unknown purpose. It becomes apparent that Juu Niinpäs is not at all deceased and his complaints are heard from within the cube. Nespuri, now strangely deformed, buries him nevertheless while completely ignoring Juu Niinpäs' wishes to have Ruusu placed on his grave rather than '''Retiisi. '''As if mocking him, Nespuri puts Retiisi on his grave.

After this, Juu Niinpäs remains buried for an unspecified amount of years, although it is implied that many have passed.



At some point, Juu Niinpäs manages to partially rise from his grave, now horrifyingly deformed, but is unable to get out completely. Kaaleppio and Tyllikki walk by his grave, only to witness the process. Horrified, they launch an attack on him, ignoring his desperate pleas for help. Not easily defeated, Juu Niinpäs manages to kick Kaaleppio off balance (Tyllikki dies as a result of being used as a weapon) with his now unnaturally long left leg, and escape the grave.He is shown approaching the house of Kaaleppio and Liispa, swearing revenge.

While approaching the house, Juu NIinpäs is seen distressed and getting glimpses of his memory back. In the process, he remembers the name of his main adversary, Nespuri. He nevertheless decides to launch an attack on the house first.

Emerging from the woods, Juu Niinpäs proceeds to attack the house. Liispa and Kaaleppio are prepared, however, and use the remaining moukaris in an attempt to fight him off. He manages to dodge the attacks, and kills Kaaleppio by ripping him in half. He is briefly shown cubifying the remains of Kaaleppio, an event at the moment shrouded in mystery, while Nespuri, arriving at the scene at last, launches an attack on him, the effects on which remain uknown.
