Carrol Campbell

"Don't think of it as cheating, okay? It took a lot of practice to learn how to use this thing!"

- Carrol Campbell to Loid Forger and Fiona Frost

Carrol Campbell (キャロル・キャンベル) is the son of Cavi Campbell and the older twin brother of Kim Campbell. He is one of the antagonists of the Campbelldon Tennis Arc, being Twilight and Nightfall's final opponents in the Campbelldon.

Appearance
Carrol is a young man of average height. He has blond hair, which he slicks back with a strand of hair hanging on the right side of his face.

His tennis attire consists of a blue-gray low V-neck shirt with a collar, white tennis shorts, and red wristbands. Strapped at the back of his waist, he wears a small black pack with a cord connected to his modified tennis racket, which likely powers it.

Personality
Carrol is a cocky and arrogant person, confident in his tennis skills. He has a strong desire to win, to the point of using underhanded tricks to get the upper hand on his opponents and ensure his victory. However, after he and his sister lose to the Foney couple during the Campbelldon, he is humbled by the experience and swears to train hard to become a great tennis player using his own strength.

History
According to Loid Forger's information, Carrol and his sister Kim have been playing tennis since early childhood and participated in their father's underground tennis tournament, the Campbelldon, having won two consecutive victories.

Campbelldon Tennis Arc
Kim and Carrol, playing as a team, defeated every opponent they played against, easily reaching the finals against Loid and Fiona Frost, undercover as the Foneys. As the start of the final match begins, the odds are in the Foney's favor, but Cavi bets ten million on his children. Carrol tells Kim that he got word from their father that they do not need to make the game look close this time which Kim is pleased about. She is eager to get the match over and get the new yacht that Cavi promised them. Carrol pulls out his jet-powered tennis racket and Kim her whip racket. Loid serves the ball to them, and Carrol hits it back with lots of force from the rockets. Fiona attempts to return it but ends up hitting it out of bounds. Carrol tells them not to think of it as cheating as he had to practice a lot to learn how to use it.

In the next game, Loid hits the ball toward them, and it appears to the announcer that neither of the siblings could hit it. However, Kim releases a latch on her racket, allowing it to extend far enough to hit the ball, and drives it down onto the other side of the court, scoring them a point. Using these special rackets, the siblings continue to win the first two games and, thus, the first set of the match.

As the second set begins, Carrol serves with a powerful hit, followed by a return from Loid. Kim tries to hit the ball with some spin, but Fiona quickly returns it, scoring a point. As they continue playing, Loid and Fiona win three more sets. Carrol looks over to a suited man on the sidelines, who gives him a nod before fiddling with a control panel. In the next game, the siblings serve, and Fiona attempts to return it. However, before she can hit the ball, the floor tile under her foot sinks into the ground, causing her to hit it out of bounds.

A floor tile sinks to the ground next to Loid, but he jumps over it and returns the ball, scoring a point. Carrol then tries hitting the ball in another sunken tile and bouncing it back in his direction. Fiona intercepts it and slams it to the ground, scoring another point. Carrol decides to change plans: manipulating the net's height. He signals to the staff, and they comply. Loid and Fiona notice the changes and opt to work around them. When the Campbells realize their tricks are not working, they try using more against the Foneys, from gusts of wind to coating the ball with stink spray. However, all their schemes only amounted to little more than a slight annoyance to the Foneys, who win the set and tie the scores.

The frustrated Campbell siblings decide to "call in the big guns." The game begins, and Loid sees no tricks used and wonders if the siblings have given up on them. As Fiona is about to make her return, Loid sees Carrol signaling with his tongue, then spots a glint at the ducts behind him. Inside, a sniper prepares to make his shot, aiming for Fiona. Loid moves quickly, tackling Fiona as he takes the bullet and tumbles to the ground, surprising everyone, including Fiona. Carrol notices this and jokes about them being touchy, amazed by how Loid saw the bullet coming, but is even more amazed after he sees him getting up and walking off from being shot. Due to most of the tournament staff likely being under Cavi's payroll, they decide to avoid any disruption to their match that could risk their chances of getting the painting. Since the bullets are low-velocity, the agents can try throwing off the sniper's aim by baiting shots as long as they can spot the signals. The line judge asks if Loid is alright, and Loid lies that he is suffering from a hangover.

The game resumes, and Loid makes his serve. Carrol makes another signal to attack Loid mid-serve. Loid staggers to the side and finishes his serve, surprising everyone. The sniper radios to the "court interference squad" for assistance, telling them to do whatever it takes to ensure the siblings win. Their tricks do not work on the agents, who predict their moves and move around them. The sniper calls in the ball boys to make their move. As Team Foney prepares to return a serve, Loid spots one of the ball boys pointing their wrist in his direction. The ball boy shoots a hidden bullet at Loid, who parries the shot, and the commentator sees Loid swinging at nothing. Fiona notes that they now have two more things to worry about, but Loid says that, unlike the sniper, the ball boys are much easier to read and will not do much harm. Loid resolves to finish the match, and the crowd is shocked by the team's bizarre movements while they play.

A frustrated Cavi yells at his children to get it together and beat their opponents, as he has a lot riding on this match. The ball and a bullet head to Loid, who returns them with a swing. The parried bullet hits Carrol in the stomach, staggering him. The line judge asks if Carrol is okay, and Carrol says he had too much milk in the morning, resulting in stomach cramps. Seeing that both teams appear impaired in the final stretch, the commentator calls the match a battle of sheer will as the audience cheers. While they play, Carrol thinks about how he does not want to lose and be beaten by Loid but sees that he is no match for him. Loid jumps up in front of Carrol, intimidating him with his aura as he slams the ball under the boy's legs. With that, the Foneys win the championship match, and the men betting on them stand up and cheer while Cavi sinks into his seat.

Carrol approaches Loid, realizing that despite being aware of the tricks, the Foneys still won. Carrol tears up and confesses that this is the first time he is disappointed in himself. Loid encourages Carrol, who is young and talented, and by working hard to hone his skills, can become a great player one day. Carrol swears to train hard, and Loid cheers him on.

Abilities and Skills
Tennis Skills: Like his sister, Carrol has practiced tennis from a very young age, developing good reflexes and speed, being able to defeat all the competitors in the tennis tournament alongside his brother. Even up until the final match against the Foneys, the twins mention that during every match they were holding back.

Physical Strength: As mentioned, Carrol has great agility and skill in tennis, but highlights that he was able to control a jet-powered tennis racket in his final game against the Foneys, keeping up a good match while also controlling the force of both hitting and returning the blows to Loid and Fiona.

Kim Campbell
Carrol has been training in tennis with his younger sister since they were young. However, he is very passionate about the sport and gives his best for his own goals compared to her, since Kim finds it lame and only plays it for their fathers' awards for winning.

Loid Forger
Knowing him as "Twain Foney," Carrol initially saw the man as someone below his skill level. However, as their match progressed, Carrol saw the gap between them, even while using underhanded tricks against the Foney couple. After losing, he admitted to Loid that it was the first time in his life that he felt disappointed in himself. However, Loid motivates him to work hard to become a great tennis player, moving Carrol as he swears to Loid that he will work hard.
