Personality

Despite being an animal Stand user, Coco Jumbo doesn't display any kind of personality or heightened intelligence whatsoever. It seems to, like all turtles, prefer to hide in small, dark places. Even with a conflict going on, Coco Jumbo remains indifferent to the situation, and simply keeps idling.

By the end of Vento Aureo, Polnareff's soul became permanently affixed to Coco Jumbo's Stand, allowing the former to possess its body and interact with humans.

History

Nothing much is known about Coco Jumbo. It was discovered by either Diavolo or his gang already having its Stand ability Mr.President.

Coco Jumbo is introduced idling in Naples' train station, previously placed by Pericolo. At first, Bucciarati doesn't take any interest in it, looking for a keyhole corresponding to the key he retrieved earlier. Soon, he notices the keyhole in the turtle's back and realizes what its power is. During their adventure, Coco Jumbo serves as a room for Team Bucciarati as they travel through Italy, allowing them to sneak aboard various means of transportation and providing a safe room for any injured protagonist.

Coco Jumbo plays a key role in saving the lives of both Bucciarati and Trish Una during their first encounter with Diavolo. Giorno Giovanna takes DNA from the turtle and turns it into one of his ladybug brooches using his Gold Experience and hands it to Bucciarati as a tracking device. When Giorno begins sensing that something has gone wrong the moment Bucciarati's phone is destroyed by Diavolo, he turns the brooch back into a clone of Coco Jumbo, who sucks the Boss into itself, stalling him long enough to allow Bucciarati to come up with a plan in order to escape with Trish.

During Chariot Requiem's switching of souls, Jean Pierre Polnareff's is transferred into Coco Jumbo's body where it assumes direct control until after Chariot Requiem is eliminated. Coco Jumbo manages to survive the whole event. Polnareff would later permanently reside in Coco Jumbo's body, having his soul trapped in Mr.President as a Ghost.

Trivia

  • During the scene where the characters enter the room, a TV is on, showing an image of Tsubasa Oozora from Captain Tsubasa.
  • According to Araki, its concept might be a reminiscence of a spaceship or Gamera and its carapace is similar to a jigsaw puzzle where to put a key of rare shape.[3]
  • Coco Jumbo's Stand's page mentions that no one named it or its host.[4] Later on it was given the name "Coco Jumbo" in JOJO A-GO!GO!.[5]

Notes

  1. The kanji kame () may also refer to a tortoise. The distinction isn't made relevant in Japanese.
