Jean Pierre Polnareff/ru

"Я сделаю из тебя подушечку для булавок!!... Остальное я оставлю дьяволу."

- Жан-Пьер Польнарефф Джею Гайлу,

Жан-Пьер Польнарефф (ジャン・ピエール・ポルナレフ) - один из главных союзников, появившийся в третьей части JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. Также, он появляется в Vento Aureo в качестве второстепенного союзника.

В Stardust Crusaders, Польнарефф отправляется с Джотаро и Джозефом, чтобы отомстить за его сестру, убитую человеком с двумя правыми руками. В Vento Aureo, Polnareff вновь появляется, чтобы помочь банде Буччеллати победить Босса итальянской мафии Passione.

Польнарефф - обладатель стенда Silver Chariot, который затем эволюционирует в Chariot Requiem.

Внешность
Польнарефф - мужчина выше среднего роста и мускулистого телосложения.

У него серебристые волосы с залысинами, высотой в полголовы Польнареффа. У него нет бровей. Также, он носит серьги в форме двух половинок разбитого сердца.

Когда Польнарефф был ребёнком, у него были большие уши и торчали клыки.

Stardust Crusaders
Польнарефф носит носит надетый чёрный топ с оголёнными плечами, и ремень, проходящий от его груди через левое плечо. Он также носит легкие брюки с карманами, привязанными к поясу на каждом из его бедер. После битвы с Ваниллой Айс, он лишился двух пальцев левой руки и всех пальцев левой ноги.

Vento Aureo
В 90-х у него была та же одежда, что и во время битвы с ДИО, с добавлением наколенников. Пальцы, потерянные в битве с Ваниллой Айсом, у него, как ни странно, были на месте.

Потеряв правый глаз и середину бедра, Польнарефф теперь ездит на инвалидной коляске и носит повязку на глазу. Его правое предплечье было сначала полностью заменено протезом с шипами, напоминающим его стенд, а затем реалистичной рукой с двумя протезными пальцами.

Личность
"Я просто погибну, в знак признания твоей силы. Самоубийство на этом этапе было бы проявлением бесчестия."

- Жан-Пьер Польнарефф,

Жан-Пьер Польнарефф - хвастливый, но благородный и доброжелательный француз. Наиболее характерная черта Польнареффа - его гордость. При первом появлении он рассказывает принцип работы своего стенда и предлагает Абдулу провести сражение в более подходящем месте для битвы, тем самым уравновешивая силы. Честь Польнареффа настолько сильна, что даже будучи под контролем ДИО, он отказывается нападать из засады, считая это нечестным. Его рыцарская гордость не позволяет ему сбегать из битвы или применять нечестные тактики, если он не испытывает дикой ненависти к врагу, вроде Ваниллы Айс или ДИО. Он оценил тот факт, что Чака атаковал его напрямую. Польнарефф с нетерпением готов отомстить за смерть близких, и отправляется в путешествие, чтобы найти того, кто убил его сестру Шерри. Также, он готов пожертвовать потенциальным романом, чтобы защитить невинную женщину, что особенно видно, когда он спасает Малену, которая была очень добра к Польнареффу, когда Алесси превратил его в ребёнка. Польнарефф имеет довольно высокомерный и импульсивный характер. Он очень гордится своим Silver Chariot, поскольку он усердно тренировал свой стенд, но из-за своей чрезмерной уверенности он зачастую становится жертвой неожиданной атаки таких обладателей стендов, как Хол Хорс или Anubis. Польнарефф часто не замечает свои недостатки и думает о себе лучше, чем на самом деле. Однажды он по неосторожности бросил зажжённую сигарету на пол, что привело к пожару. Во время своего путешествия, Польнарефф нередко спорит со своими спутниками или с людьми, которых встречает. Изначально он недолюбливал Абдула, поскольку тот сбежал от ДИО, вместо того, чтобыс сражаться, и вступил с ним в спор, который разорвал их отношения. Также, при первой встрече, Польнарефф напал на Игги, и их личности были слишком противоположны. Польнарефф - самый несерьёзный человек в группе. Возможно, он чувствует сильную привязанность к группе, и часто делится шутками с Какёином, Джозефом и даже Джотаро. Будучи очень экстравертным, он без проблем выражает радость или печаль, поэтому он - самый сострадательный из группы, и открыто оплакивает своих друзей. Именно поэтому остальная Группа Джостара не говорила ему, что Абдул жив, так как они боялись, что он ненароком раскроет секрет. Польнарефф легко отвлекается и постоянно находит способ поднять настроение: в подводной лодке, Польнарефф шутит с Какёином на языке жестов, пока она тонет, а также пробует детское питание, приготовленное Джозефом. В детстве Польнарефф мечтал стать художником комиксов, более крутым, чем Дисней. Однажды он даже хотел построить свой парк развлечений, Польнареффленд. Польнарефф часто ссылается на такие иконы поп-культуры, как Том и Джерри и Экзорцист. Он может действовать неразумно, но в бою он проявляет удивительный интеллект, стратегию и инстинкт.

Польнарефф считает себя дамским угодником. Это частично связано с легким нарциссизмом, он часто считает себя красивым мужчиной и особенно гордится своими волосами. При виде красивой женщины, Польнарефф забывает даже о самых серьёзных вещах, из-за чего Джозеф заявляет, что Польнарефф думает своей промежностью. Даже в форме ребёнка, он был в восторге искупаться с красивой женщиной. Обычно он очень проницателен, и демонстрирует это, когда чувствует приближение Проклятого Дево, Чака и Алесси, но он никогда не ожидает, что женщина окажется на стороне зла, поначалу не подозревая как врага Нэну или Энию. Польнарефф дружелюбно общается с женщинами, даёт любовный совет Нэне и делает комплимент Энии (хотя это только вызвало у неё раздражение). Любимый тип женщины Польнареффа зависит от его настроения.

Будучи "утончённым" человеком, Польнарефф не выносит грязных мест, особенно грязных или "нестандартных" туалетов.

Интересно, что лучшими друзьями Польнареффа в ходе событий становятся Абдул и Игги, которых он первое время терпеть не мог. Ни один из главных героев так не оплакивает смерть союзников, как Польнарефф, и никто другой так не стремится отомстить за них, как он.

В Vento Aureo, Польнарефф заметно повзрослел и стал более серьёзным и целенаправленным человеком. Его опыт позволяет ему давать очень необходимые советы Джорно и другим в битве с Дьяволо.

Стенд
Polnareff's humanoid Stand is Silver Chariot, one of the fastest of all; utilizing a in a flexible and deadly offense.

In Vento Aureo, Polnareff develops Chariot Requiem, a Stand able to manipulate souls, with the touch of the Arrow; and later becomes sustained by Coco Jumbo's Stand, Mr.President.

Mastery
Having been born with Silver Chariot, Polnareff is stated to have intensively trained with his Stand, with great results. Thanks to his training, Polnareff is able to expertly wield Silver Chariot and make it fight with the expertise of a seasoned swordsman, able to command it to slash or stab with great precision and timing. Although the sword is its main feature, Polnareff can also command his Stand to perform kicks in a pinch.

Moreover, Polnareff has a habit of partially channelling Silver Chariot through his body, adding greater protection against attacks.

Intelligence
Polnareff's tactical acumen is greatly impeded by his faults, such as mild arrogance, tendency to be distracted by women (especially pretty ones), and his general nobility of character which makes him slow in expecting treachery.

However, Polnareff has proven to be a very perceptive fighter. Firstly, he is noticeably faster to catch when a man is trying to attack him. He has managed to decipher the powers of Hanged Man and devised an effective counter to it, has occasionally shown to greatly use the environment to his advantage for instance by purposefully breaking a mirror and use the pieces to observe a blind angle, and his experience enabled him to be able to figure out some of Cream's weaknesses and King Crimson's power, devising a mildly effective counter to its time erasure.

Swordsmanship
Polnareff's training with Silver Chariot and an off-hand comment about Chaka's amateurish sword stance suggests that Polnareff himself is a skilled swordsman. His skill is somewhat demonstrated when after being possessed by Anubis, he himself is able to overwhelm Star Platinum. The anime expands on that by giving him a typical fencing stance.

Hacking
After having been defeated by Diavolo, Polnareff went into hiding and developed computer hacking skills, allowing him to watch over numerous law enforcement databases unnoticed and communicate undetected by Passione with Bucciarati's Gang.

Family

 * Sherry Polnareff: Not much has been shown of their relationship. However, it is fairly obvious that he loved her dearly. He spent years training his Silver Chariot and spent three years searching for the man who raped and murdered his sister who was J. Geil. He also carried a picture of her wherever he went. It is shown in flashbacks that he took care of her since she was young and was particularly close to her, especially since their mother died when he was three. When Cameo's Judgement claimed to be a Genie, Polnareff had him bring back his dead sister and when she was about to kill him, he initially could not fight back because he thought she was his sister.

Friends

 * Muhammad Avdol: Possibly his best friend throughout the journey, Polnareff initially met the fortune teller under DIO's control (as he had a flesh bud in his head) and challenged him to a battle. Avdol recognized his chivalrous soul and Polnareff was subsequently saved. Initially, Polnareff also thought less of Avdol when he learned that he ran from DIO rather than confront him, but Avdol's "sacrifice" considerably improved his view of him. After Avdol revealed he was alive, the two became great friends despite their opposite temperament. In fact a recurring theme for Avdol was that he often had to save Polnareff from danger such as with J. Geil and Hol Horse, Cameo with his stand Judgement, and Cream. During both Avdol's deaths, Polnareff deeply mourned the loss of his companion, and tried to wish for Avdol's return to life to Judgement.
 * Iggy: The two initially did not get along since Polnareff woke him up after a bumpy flight. Polnareff disliked Iggy's cocky and demeaning attitude and antagonized him frequently, causing Polnareff to be Iggy's most common target when it came to getting bitten and farted on. Despite this, during their fight against Cream, Iggy sacrificed himself to save Polnareff. Polnareff deeply mourned his sacrifice, admitting he initially thought Iggy was a stubborn shitty mutt but grew to love how stubborn he was and how he didn't get close to humans because it showed how proud he was, and it was this determination that allowed him to beat Vanilla Ice.
 * 5e0.gifki Kakyoin: The two were good friends and while not as close to him as he was to Avdol, the two greatly cared for each other and worked well together in battles, such as Polnareff's battle with J. Geil and when Joseph was infected by The Lovers, Kakyoin and Polnareff worked together to defeat him. The two did have a brief falling out when Mannish Boy attacked the gang with Death Thirteen and Polnareff didn't believe Kakyoin when he said the baby was the stand user, believing the journey had taken its toll on Kakyoin and made him crazy. However, upon learning that Kakyoin was right, he genuinely apologized and the two have gotten along since. For example, when the two were in a sinking submarine, the two were still able to joke around with each other and do a manly handshake. At the end of their journey, Polnareff mourned his comrades, including Kakyoin.
 * Jotaro Kujo: Polnareff and Jotaro were very close, their friendship being one of the few relationships for which Jotaro displayed open gestures of friendship such as comforting Polnareff when he rejected a possible love interest, and a teary farewell hug with him. By the time they got to Egypt, Polnareff's jolly temperament managed to make Jotaro appreciate him. Both respect each other as Stand users, Jotaro considering Silver Chariot dangerous enough so that he needs not restrain himself in a fight. Polnareff and Jotaro developed a habit to stick to each other, and Jotaro put himself at risk to save him from Anubis and DIO. It is unknown if Jotaro ever learned of Polnareff's fate after the events of Part 5.
 * Joseph Joestar: The two got along well with Polnareff respecting Joseph's powers and authority and Joseph respecting Polnareff's abilities with Silver Chariot. While Polnareff had the least interaction with Joseph, it was evident the two got along such as joking with each other during the Death Thirteen and Oingo Boingo Brother arcs. Joseph tended to complain that Polnareff thought too much with his crotch and joked around too much, while Polnareff saw Joseph as sometimes silly and accident prone, (such as with the plane crash and when he tried riding a camel in the Sun arc). Nonetheless, Polnareff was willing to help out Joseph when he was attacked by Lovers and Joseph offered Polnareff a chance to come and live with him in America since he knew Polnareff had no one else back in France. Though Polnareff ultimately declined he was grateful that Joseph offered him the chance and bid him a teary farewell. It is unknown if Joseph ever learned of Polnareff's fate after the events of Part 5.
 * Malèna: A kind woman Polnareff met when he was de-aged by Alessi. She saw he was injured and took him to her house to take care of his wounds and clean him. Despite being a child, he was excited when she bathed him because of her beauty and the shared intimacy. When she was turned into a fetus by Alessi, he defeated Alessi to return her to normal. When she asked him where the child she saw was, rather than flirt with her, he pretended not to know because he didn't want to endanger her. It is obvious Polnareff developed genuine feelings for her.
 * Bucciarati's Gang: Polnareff first heard of Bucciarati's gang when they searched police databases to identify Diavolo. He chose to trust their righteousness and wanted to give them the Arrow so they could vanquish Diavolo, fully cooperating from the start with them. During the final fight, Polnareff acted as a voice of reason during the mayhem that Chariot Requiem and King Crimson were producing among the group. Finally Polnareff chose to stay close to Giorno Giovanna and was entrusted the Arrow inside Mr.President.

Enemies

 * J. Geil: As the Man who raped and killed his sister, Polnareff greatly hated J. Geil. Polnareff finally got his vengeance when he had Silver Chariot repeatedly stab J.Geil, killing him.
 * Devo the Cursed: Polnareff and Devo met as enemy, and while Polnareff thought little of Devo since he was a poor fighter, the shaman grew to hate Polnareff after Silver Chariot injured him, fueling the power of Ebony Devil. Polnareff later took revenge by killing Devo.
 * Anubis: Anubis was one of many assassins sent by DIO to kill the group. Originally Polnareff thought Anubis was just a sword but realized what he was when the sword possessed him.
 * Alessi: Originally Polnareff saw Alessi as another enemy, but after he changed Polnareff into a child and tried to kill Malèna, Polnareff grew to despise Alessi. After turning back into an adult, Polnareff pummeled Alessi along with Jotaro.
 * Vanilla Ice: Jean Pierre hated Ice for the murders of Avdol and Iggy. Polnareff avenged Avdol and Iggy by stabbing Vanilla Ice in the face and forcing the Vampire into the sunlight.
 * DIO: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having the Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his sister's killer would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.
 * Diavolo: Polnareff investigated Diavolo in Italy, but only took the full measure of Diavolo's dangerousness during a clash after which he was left for dead and miraculously survived. Knowing he couldn't face Diavolo and Passione alone, and isolated from his allies, he laid low and waited for an opportunity. Polnareff was killed by Diavolo but then his soul was attached to Coco Jumbo. During the final moments of Vento Aureo, Polnareff showed that he didn't underestimate Diavolo one bit and advised Bucciarati's Gang.

Trivia

 * Polnareff became the biggest inspiration towards the character design of King of Fighters ' Benimaru Nikaido. SNK developers continue referring to Benimaru as Polnareff even today.
 * In Part 3 Polnareff is victim of a recurring gag involving bathrooms: Every time he goes to one he gets into trouble if varying threat levels, be it an attack from the enemy or some inconvenience from the bathroom itself. This is noted by Avdol after he has trouble in finding Mariah in a bathroom, as he comments that Polnareff is the expert with incidents regarding them.
 * There are strong parallels between Polnareff and from the movie and novel : both are at first foes and then allies, both are master swordsmen and both sworn to vengeance against a man with a deformed hand. For Inigo, it was the count with six fingers. Finally when both meet their villain, they have a dramatic but concise presentation of their reason and intent for vengeance.
 * In GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, he shares the same voice actor with La Squadra di Esecuzione members Illuso & their leader Risotto Nero.
