Seagull (カモメ Kamome), also known as Jonathan (ジョナサン Jonasan), is one of the playable NPC characters in 100% Orange Juice!.
Passives
- Lose 1/4 stars when KO'd in battle (as opposed to the standard 1/2).
- Give 1 Win when KO'd in battle (as opposed to the standard 2).
Overview
Sporting a lower recovery stat, lower HP pool, and lower defensive options, Seagull is an overall tricky character to play as. As such the best way to play Seagull is to be far away from others. Much like an actual seagull, Jonathan must wait for an opportune time to attack.
With only a +1 to attack, Seagull is not meant for wins. Rather it is best to gather stars and draw cards until one manages to get their hyper. Seagull's hyper, 
Jonathan Rush, is his strongest tool and as such the game should be played around obtaining this hyper and waiting for a player with a lot of stars to enter a low health threshold.
Luckily, Jonathan's passive is perfect for this play style, as players attempting to steal your stars only get a measly 1/4 of your stars allowing Seagull to make a getaway without losing too much from retaliation.
It is recommended to bring a few battle cards such as 
I'm on Fire! in order to help secure a strategic kill. This is imperative as many characters like have a high evasion stat.
Owing to his minuscule health pool and terrible defensive stats, Encounter and Boss panels should be avoided at all costs, especially the latter as an encounter with the boss is almost certain death.
Summary
- Pros
- + Low recovery
- + Positive attack stat
- + Strong hyper
- + Passive helps cover for Cons
- Cons
- - Bad health stat
- - Bad defensive options
- - Hyper reliant
Update History
V1.30
- and Seagull now lose 1/4 stars (and chocolate) in battles (down from 1/2).
- Fixed a bug that would make Jonathan Rush's -1 DEF effect be kept after a battle.
V1.16.3
- Jonathan Rush description reworded: Move to an enemy and attack them. (previously: Warp to an enemy and attack them.)
Target gains -1 DEF.
After the battle, your turn ends.
Effect
Seagull's Hyper is Jonathan Rush. When used, the player will be prompted to target a non-KO'd opponent. Upon doing so, the player will move to the target's current panel and initiate a battle with them. The target will gain -1 DEF for the duration of the battle. After the battle, the player's turn ends.
Notes
- This effect does not count as a warp for the purposes of effects that trigger on warp.
Strategy
Jonathan Rush allows the player to attack any player regardless of how far away they may be. As a result, a viable usage of this card is to pick off enemies with low HP. It is advised to combo this card with another attack-boosting card if dealing with characters with a high EVD stat. Another use of this card is to move to a more advantageous position on the board, such as near the player's home.Tips
- Playing As Seagull
Seagull is best played as an opportunist rather than a bully. Even the meekest characters are capable of deadly retaliation if they survive due to Seagull's bad DEF, EVD, and HP. Because of this, he will want to obtain his Hyper early and often to ensure he can get a kill.
- Because Seagull is very Hyper reliant,
Passionate Research and 
Nice Present are a must. 
Princess's Privilege can also help him find Hypers late game if he is desperate. - Seagull's Hyper combos extremely well with any offensive Battle card, such as I'm on Fire!,
Big Magnum , or 
Accel Hyper. The latter is perhaps best, as the DEF and HP costs of the former two respectively are proportionally very high for Seagull. 
Heat 300% can soften up enemies for a kill, and Seagull's DEF is bad enough anyway that landing on it himself isn't the worst thing in the world.
Saki's Cookie heals one-third of Seagull's HP while having a negligible effect on less frail characters.- If planning on using expensive Battle cards to secure kills,
President's Privilege may be worthwhile. It greatly reduces their cost and allows for Jonathan Rush to be played on the same turn at a much cheaper cost. 
Dash! is a double-edged sword. It does allow Seagull to catch up to weak enemies, but also allows other players to catch up to Seagull. Offensive characters like can take advantage of this to score easy wins off of Seagull.
- Playing Against Seagull
Seagull's weak defensive stats make him susceptible to bullying. Offensive characters such as or can take advantage of this, but even weaker characters can take him out if his HP is low.
Long-Distance Shot is a good source of chip damage, but be aware that Seagull can also use it to soften enemies up for a kill.- Due to Seagull's passive,
Dark Side of Business is often the best way to take stars from him. 
Self-Destruct will ruin a Jonathan's day. Not only does it counter Jonathan Rush, but it also causes him to lose half of his stars, bypassing his passive.
Shield Counter and 
Tactical Retreat are also good counters to Jonathan Rush.- Any method of depriving Seagull of his Hyper, such as
Flamethrower, 
Brutal Prank, 
Gift Exchange, or 
Scrambled Eve, can be useful. The latter two can also circulate Seagull's Hyper into other character's hands, and most characters can make use of it.

Co-op
In Co-op mode, Seagull's REC stat is increased from 4 to 5, due to his base ATK of +1. Seagull's passive does not visibly change; however, part of Seagull's passive does not function:
- Seagull does not lose 1/4 stars when KO'd in battle, but loses 1/8 stars like any other character.
Seagull's Hyper, Jonathan Rush, does not visibly change in Co-op, but has a slightly different effect. The Hyper can only target enemies and not players, but otherwise functions the same as in Normal mode.

Trivia
