Personality

Papa Zola is known for his "paternity" superhero style. The purpose of being a superhero is to "uphold the justice". He also showed his wisdom when training Gopal . Papa Zola always cares about the truth and loves to use the word "justice" in any situation.
After Papa Zola came out of his gaming world, Papa Zola tried to find a new job to earn a living by interviewing every company on Rintis Island. After trying for a long time, Papa Zola finally became a Mathematics teacher and loved to ask complicated test questions in the 5 Honest. Apart from that, Papa Zola is also a Physical Education teacher and referee in football games.
Despite seriously carrying out his duties as an officer, he has a childish and sometimes selfish nature. This shows that his character remains a joke for the viewer and is also a comic relief from the entire series and franchise. However, Papa Zola also has one major drawback: being too hasty and lacking in preparation to face the enemy. Especially when challenging the Sleeping Monster to play checkers in the dream world.
