Hudgyn Sasdarl (ハジーン・サスダール) is a JoJo Wiki user. A close associate of fellow JoJo PS2 modder penguino, Hudgyn has been responsible for several mods and patches for GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, and the two have released an English translation of the Phantom Blood PS2 game.

Personality
When first introduced to a situation, Hudgyn prefers to remain quiet and adjust to his surroundings in peace before slowly increasing the magnitude of his contributions. However, this is a mere facade to avoid harm: the true Hudgyn Sasdarl is a hateful person who lives a life of vexation and hides his vileness beneath a teasing face. Once he becomes comfortable in a given scenario, he consistently takes a mocking attitude toward people and media, often pointing out what he sees as detrimental with a sneering "lmao." Hudgyn particularly enjoys mocking JoJolion, citing what he sees as its lack of focus or restraint, poor time management, abrupt shifts in characterization and detail, and inability to communicate its themes in an interesting manner. Though he is most pleased by his own jabs, he nonetheless supports others' petty insults to nearly the same degree.

Hudgyn's insistence on poking fun at problems leads him to constantly adjust and tamper with his own contributions, hastily correcting any mistakes he sees. Often, this leads to a bigger problem than the one he began with, which of course he then also attempts to tackle. The most notable example of this is his GioGio's Bizarre Adventure translation patch, which saw continuous updates of varying scale for over three years after its release. In the case of wiki articles, this habit often manifests as one large edit with an edit description followed by several minor edits with no edit description. This, ironically, is shown to have hindered his ability to deliver information on his first attempt, and he often requires multiple attempts or edits to convey what he means to convey. Hudgyn notably fears slipping into altered states of mind such as drunkenness and insanity, believing that losing control over his own mind will cause him to commit mistakes that he cannot rectify.

Hudgyn also actively chooses to believe in several theories that have been widely debunked by the scientific community. For instance, he believes that Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan takes place in the second continuity first seen in Steel Ball Run from Episode 2 onward, that Diavolo would have killed off Fugo regardless of his decision at the end of the first King Crimson battle, and that Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 will not release a costume pack for All-Star Battle R that includes the additional costumes from Eyes of Heaven. Most damningly, Hudgyn does not believe in gravity.

Incredibly, Hudgyn has demonstrated the ability to enjoy media that caters to his tastes. Games such as GioGio's Bizarre Adventure and manga such as Phantom Blood and The Gorgeous Irene's various one-shots have earned his approval, despite various minor complaints with varying degrees of plausibility. While the reasoning behind Hudgyn's tastes are unknown, he generally seems to prefer works that "know what they want to convey" and refrain from "trying to be more than they are." In order, his favorite parts of the JoJo manga are Parts 5, 1, 3, 6, 4, 2, 9, 7, and 8 (presumably with a large gap between Parts 7 and 8); his favorite parts of the JoJo anime, in order, are 5, 6, 3, 2, 1, and 4, which should tell you all you need to know about his inability to distinguish true quality.

Strangely, Hudgyn chooses to associate himself with a fictional character named Hitagi Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari and its sequels. While his exact reasoning remains a mystery, it is worth noting that Senjougahara is initially characterized by her harsh tongue, brutal honesty, and insurmountable stubbornness and pride. Senjougahara also prominently displays growth as a human being as the series continues, something that Hudgyn seems clearly incapable of.

In other words, he is a typical resident of Ohio.
