—Nukesaku, Chapter 247: DIO's World, Part 1
Nukesaku (ヌケサク) is a tertiary antagonist featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders.
He is a Vampire henchman of DIO that disguises himself as a woman as an attempt to attack Jotaro when the Joestar Group infiltrates DIO's mansion. Having no Stand,[2] he is used as a punching bag and unwilling guide to his master's coffin.
Appearance
Nukesaku is a small, pale-skinned male vampire.[3] He has long dark unkempt hair spiked backwards and a large widow's peak. Nukesaku wears a dark jumpsuit with an assorted vest and scarf on top. He also wears boots, a loincloth, multiple ringlets on his wrists and ankles, and an animal print taqiyah.
Nukesaku's back is the face and physique of a woman, used to disguise himself and fool the Joestar Group. Disguised as a female, Nukesaku wears simple earrings, a light dress, and a stylish belt. However due to his clumsiness, he forgets to fixate his hands to match his body.

Personality
Nukesaku is the dim-witted and loyal servant of DIO. He is looked down by the others within DIO's mansion, and ordered to not interfere in the climactic battle. DIO's henchmen seem to detest him so much that he was nicknamed idiot (抜作, nukesaku).[3] Although he accepts his nickname,[4] he acts snide when the other henchmen are defeated before him, mocking them for being the useless ones.[3] Since Nukesaku lacks combat strength, he acts as a crying woman to lure his opponents to him. However, he overestimates his bizarre ability and immortality as he is easily defeated by the heroes who coerce him to reveal DIO's location.[5] Despite this, though largely out of fear, Nukesaku displays naive loyalty to DIO.[6]
Abilities
As a vampire, Nukesaku has the natural ability to dislocate his body parts. In conjunction with his "Female Face", he can use it to trick people into believing he's actually just an innocent woman.
Female Face
Nukesaku has the face and physique of a woman on his backside. Using the female face, he can use it to talk and make expressions. While somewhat useful, he often forgets to fixate his body to match the way this face is looking.[7]
History
Background
Nukesaku is one of DIO's many servants within the mansion. He was turned into a vampire at some point by drinking DIO's blood.[8] Nukesaku, disliked by his allies so much, was nicknamed idiot (抜作, nukesaku).[3]
At some point after DIO's awakening of a Stand, he decides to experiment with his potential. Nukesaku is seen wielding a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun to test the power of The World. He fires and DIO mysteriously discovers the true extent of his power.[9]
Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Nukesaku is refused any involvement in the climactic battle with the Joestar Group by his allies, who threaten to kill him should he interfere. However, after hearing that DIO's remaining loyalists were defeated, he hopes to gain the chance to prove his value.
Nukesaku attempts to use his ability to trick Jotaro and company into believing he's an innocent woman trapped in DIO's mansion. He, however, is greeted with a punch to the face by Star Platinum, and it is then that Jotaro tells him that he was careless, due to the fact that he had not reversed his hands as well. Nukesaku notes that he forgot his thumbs pointed in the opposite direction when he was clasping his hands. Furious, Nukesaku lunged at Jotaro, only to be pummeled by Star Platinum and sent flying into multiple pillars. He is forced to lead the group to DIO[4] and believes that DIO will use this opportunity to defeat the Joestars, but when he removes the lid of his master's coffin, he finds himself sectioned to pieces in the coffin instead.[10][11]

JoJo's Venture & Heritage for the Future
Nukesaku appears as part of the Joestar Group's individual Story Mode campaigns, in cut-scenes mirroring the plot of Stardust Crusaders as he's captured by Jotaro and forced to open DIO's coffin.
If censorship (regulation in the arcade options, triggered by certain region settings) is enabled, or in the HD remake, expressions disabled, he will instead be wholly trapped inside DIO's coffin in utter disbelief, without the dismemberment of the original, and the crusaders leave him helpless upon realizing DIO is in the vicinity.
When DIO is hit by Alessi's Sethan, he will turn into a whimpering Nukesaku.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PS1)
With the addition of Super Story Mode, Nukesaku appears as a minor villain in the plot. He is captured by Jotaro and forced to reveal DIO's location. When they arrive to the coffin, he's then forced to open the coffin but to the group's surprise, Nukesaku is suddenly inside the coffin, wounded and confused.

Characters he lands on will bounce on the ground and take considerable damage. If hit himself by any source, Nukesaku will be sent reeling before retreating back to the ceiling.

- Nukesaku's voice actor in the Part 3 TV anime, Toru Nara, previously voiced Bruford in the 2007 Phantom Blood movie adaptation and later voiced Thunder McQueen in the Part 6 anime.
