{{Nihongo|'''Foo Fighters'''|フー・ファイターズ|Fū Faitāzu}}, also referred to as {{Nihongo|'''F.F.'''|{{Ruby|F|エフ}}・{{Ruby|F|エフ}}|Efu Efu}}, makes her playable debut in ''All-Star Battle R''. She was confirmed as a playable character alongside {{ASBR|Yukako}} and {{ASBR|Jotaro Kujo (Part 4)}} during the game's Part 4, 6, & 8 Reveal Trailer.<ref name="trailer"/> F.F. was one of the four characters playable in the game's second [[All-Star Battle R#Demo|Early Access Demo]] alongside {{ASBR|Jotaro}}, {{ASBR|Jolyne}}, and {{ASBR|Ermes}}. She was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the {{W|Evolution Championship Series|Evo}} 2022 Demo on August 5.<ref>[https://jojo-news.com/2022/07/29/evo-2022-features-new-jojos-bizarre-adventure-all-star-battle-r-demo/ JoJo News: ASBR EVO 2022 Demo]</ref><br />
<br />
Having neither previously appeared in {{ASB}} nor {{EoH}} as a playable character, she has an original moveset based on her appearance in ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
As F.F.'s voice actor from the [[Part 6 Anime|''Stone Ocean'' anime]], [[Mariya Ise]] reprises her role in ''All-Star Battle R''.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
F.F. has 950 health and uses the {{Nihongo|'''[[Stand]]'''|スタンド|Sutando}} Battle Style. However, unlike what is typical of characters with this Style, she does not summon or dismiss [[Foo Fighters (Stand)|Foo Fighters]]. Instead, F.F. utilizes a "'''Move like F.F.'''" system that allows her to chain various skills into each other.<br />

{{Game Move|name='''Move like F.F.'''|Color=SO<br />
|input=Passive<br />
|desc=F.F. possesses the unique ability to seamlessly chain and combine any of her skills marked with a '''star''' ('''&#9734;'''), consuming Plankton from her Plankton Icon. When chaining skills into each other, F.F. sheds and leaves behind a visible splash plankton from her body. This allows her to rapidly string attacks together in quick succession while she has Plankton available. F.F. may alternate between skills but she cannot chain the same skill into itself.<br />
}}<br />
{{Game Move|name='''Plankton Icon'''|Color=SO<br />
|input=Passive<br />
|desc=Above F.F.'s Heart Heat Gauge are five Plankton Icons, showing how many uses of the "'''Move like F.F.'''" system she has left. Performing "'''I've overcome my weakness.'''" or fully completing her HHA successfully replenishes her Plankton.<br />

|desc=F.F. takes aim with her finger gun and fires a plankton shot that travels at high speeds (Flash Cancel comboable). The attack button inputted determines the projectile's speed and how fast F.F. recovers, inversely affecting the skill's start-up length. The attack can be charged, resulting in a much larger projectile being fired that deals more damage, leaves the opponent crumpling, and will instantly Guardbreak them if they attempt to block it. (Comboable)<br>This skill is part of the "'''Move like F.F.'''" system and can chain into or from other skills like it, consuming Plankton.<br />

|desc=F.F. drops to the ground and fires a low-flying plankton shot that hits as a low attack that cannot be blocked standing (Flash Cancel comboable). The attack button inputted determines the projectile's speed and how fast F.F. recovers, inversely affecting the skill's start-up length. The attack can be charged, resulting in a much larger projectile being fired that deals more damage, leaves the opponent crumpling, and will instantly Guardbreak them if they attempt to block it.

|desc=This skill can only be utilized during the "'''Move like F.F.'''" system. Consuming Plankton, F.F. performs a fast evasive flip, either forwards or backwards, then fires a plankton shot that travels at high speeds (Flash Cancel comboable). The attack button inputted determines F.F.'s speed and distance covered during the flip.<br>During the forwards variation, she has brief strike-invulnerability while flipping, and can even pass through the opponent to their other side.<br>During the backwards variation, F.F. has brief invulnerability while flipping, and can damage and knock the opponent upwards via kicking them, functioning as a reversal attack and launcher. (Flash Cancel comboable)<br>The F.F. Shot fired can be charged, resulting in a much larger projectile being fired that deals more damage, leaves the opponent crumpling, and will instantly Guardbreak them if they attempt to block it.

{{Game Move|name='''Hwah!'''|Color=SO<br />
|input={{ASBInput|623|ATK}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc=F.F. unleashes a barrage of punches aimed slightly upward, sending the opponent flying on the final hit. This skill functions as an anti-air. This attack deals significant Guard damage. The attack button inputted affects the hit count and damage of the attack, but inversely affects F.F.'s recovery afterward. (Flash Cancel comboable)<br> If specifically the '''Heavy''' ({{ASBInput|H}}) version connects, it launches the opponent upwards in such a way that F.F. can immediately Flash Cancel and follow up with her GHA, with strict timing.<br />

|input={{ASBInput|236|ATK}} {{Input|in air ok}}<br />
|desc=While in mid-air, F.F. fires multiple plankton shots in quick succession. The attack button inputted determines F.F.'s aim and the number of shots fired:<br />
*'''Light''' ({{ASBInput|L}}): F.F. fires three shots straight forward, allowing her to challenge an opponent also in the air.<br />
*'''Medium''' ({{ASBInput|M}}): F.F. fires four shots at a diagonally downwards angle.<br />
*'''Heavy''' ({{ASBInput|H}}): F.F. fires five shots sharply downward, almost underneath herself.<br />

{{Game Move|name='''Get Weather Report to make it rain.'''|Color=SO<br />
|input={{ASBInput|236}} + 2 ATK Buttons {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc=Pulling out a radio, F.F. calls for Weather Report to conjure localized rainclouds over her head as she momentarily rests. This instantly restores a small amount of health. If F.F. is allowed to sit in the rain for long enough, all her Plankton are replenished as well. However, she's unable to act during this process for a few seconds, and may be vulnerable to being interrupted by the opponent.<br />
}}<br />
{{Game Move|name='''I am a being of superior intellect than you!'''|Color=SO<br />
|input={{ASBInput|236}} + 3 ATK Buttons, or {{ASBInput|G}} {{Input|on ground}}<br />
|desc=F.F., aiming carefully, fires a focused plankton shot. The bullet has very high priority, and will defeat most other opposing projectiles. If it lands, the opponent is knocked off-balance as a lesser copy of her Stand form appears from the ground and grabs them, holding them in place. F.F. takes the opportunity to fire another shot directly into their mouth. The opponent is momentarily confused just before the plankton begin rapidly attacking them from the inside, slowly carrying them into the air. F.F. turns around and confidently poses just as the assault finishes with a forceful internal burst.<br>This GHA has a considerably longer start-up than average, requiring more effort such as a launching attack, Guardbreak, or Assault Assist to reliably connect with it.<br />
<br />
Before the game's release, this GHA's name was localized as "I'm certainly more sapient than you!"<br />

<br />
He is the mastermind behind the [[Locacaca Organization]], using his [[Stand]] to act as the TG University Hospital's hospital director, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Alongside the hospital director, Toru disguises himself as an ordinary part-time medical student at the hospital. Toru's main motive is to develop a revolutionary medicine through the [[New Locacaca]] with the goal of restructuring the balance of power in society. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a Stand user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], an automatic Stand which causes anyone who thinks of pursuing either the Stand itself or Toru to endure a calamity.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Toru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
Toru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in a very round afro on his head, which gradually changes from a smaller, looser curly afro to a larger, more solid looking elliptical one in later appearances. The afro features two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate.<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines intersecting each other. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun pattern surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants, although this "S" is missing in later depictions. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two bright teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />
<br />
During his first appearance, he wears a white laboratory coat. He is frequently seen with earphones on as well as a music player.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|Like I said, memories. As years go by, all you have left is memories.|Toru, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}}}<br />
Toru is a callous and mysterious individual who directs the [[Locacaca Organization]] from the shadows. He uses a friendly charade as a means to disguise himself and drive away suspicion.<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Toru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Toru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Toru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based Stand ability]], as well as his general apathy to the suffering of those around him.<br />
<br />
[[File:ToruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to secure the Locacaca]]<br />
Toru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, he has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a roadblock in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to several prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his perceived age and presumed lack of experience. As he explains to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, whether that story is true or not, Toru uses the stolen identity of [[Wonder of U|Satoru Akefu]] as a cover to maintain influence and power as the director of the [[TG University Hospital]] and his own covert organization of Rock Humans. Toru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and the creation of revolutionary medicine that would secure him global influence; up-ending the balance of society and placing his species at the top. His [[Locacaca Organization|organization]] set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca. His research team works towards advancing the Locacaca's properties, by creating the Locacaca6251, and pursuing the new Locacaca. The new Locacaca presents a great opportunity for the group, as Toru muses about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /> <br />
[[File:Toru loses his composure.png|thumb|left|150px|At the very end, Toru's stoic personality is broken by Yasuho's apathy]]<br />
Toru has a somewhat unusual affection for [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Toru enjoyed his conversation with her, and hoped to meet again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> Later, he developed a relationship with her as a teenager but seemingly split apart so Toru could pursue his true goals. Upon his introduction, Toru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}} P.41.</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Toru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}} P.31.</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}} P.29.</ref> Toru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Toru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /> However this mercy doesn't go further than simple warnings, as he's willing to sacrifice Yasuho's body during an exchange to heal his own injuries.<ref name="JJL106">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even at the very end Toru attempts to appeal to Yasuho's emotions as he slowly crumbles away, and completely loses his composure when she stands idly.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 108}} P.11.</ref><br />
[[File:Toru-changes.png|thumb|Toru shifts to his true nature]]<br />
As the leader of the [[Locacaca Organization]], Toru is deceptive with his Stand being adept at impersonating Satoru Akefu's identity; all while also playing a role as an ordinary part-time worker in [[TG University Hospital]]. This entire charade requires Toru to act relatively normal, cheeky and altruistic to those around him in order to appear harmless yet believable, such as prompting to help Yasuho find Josuke to tell him to go to the 3rd floor of the Hospital,<ref name="JJL81" /> "helping" Josuke pinpoint where the hospital director was standing during a chase,<ref name="JJL84">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}</ref> and even promising Yasuho that he'll testify on behalf of Josuke after a sudden "accident" involving Josuke and a [[Angry Patient|hospital patient]].<ref name="JJL86">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 86}}</ref> Toru keeps up the act, until he realizes what Josuke, Yasuho, and Rai were trying to do, and opts to "coincidentally" bump into them multiple times in an attempt to slow them down and prevent them from getting to the hospital director.<ref name="JJL84" /> When the location of the [[New Locacaca]] is revealed, Toru drops the charade completely.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 96}}</ref> He goes on to be a consistently stoic and goal-oriented enemy, eliminating those who get in his way with little to no care about who it is he has to kill and how much destruction he'll cause in the process in order to secure the fruit and ensure the success of his organization's goal.<br />
<br />
[[File:ToruWoods.png|thumb|left|Toru hides in patience during ongoing chaos]]<br />
Toru is a cautious fighter who avoids risks, and prioritizes his safety above all else. He holds absolute confidence in his Stand's ability to defeat anyone. Toru repeatedly warns his pursuers about its effects, and uses its bizarre nature to goad enemies into activating it. However, after being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]] he senses potential danger and decides to call back Wonder of U.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref name="JJL105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Toru is fairly resourceful, his stand is equipped with a few [[Rock Insect|rock insects]] that he releases in-order to fend off Josuke and Rai.<ref name="JJL105" /><ref name="JJL105" /> Despite injury, Toru can persevere and make quick decisions to put himself back at the advantage. When Josuke succeeds in landing his new-found ability, he immediately consumes the New Locacaca to perform an exchange on Yasuho to heal his injuries.<ref name="JJL106" /> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Toru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name="JJL107P16">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}} P.16.</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his long life-cycle Toru adapts a perspective on life based on memories and dreams. He compares himself to a rock on-top of others, being a witness to the dreams and memories of others long past. Toru asserts that at the end of all things, these memories and dreams last forever. He projects this belief onto others, seen with him taunting Kaato about her own legacy of cruelty and the death of her [[Jobin Higashikata|son]]'s dreams.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref> In his dying moments Toru imagines a hornet, and recalls it as a memory of his before completely disintegrating into the wind.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 108}} P.15.</ref><br />
<br />
Toru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}} P.23-24.</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Toru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the Stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U's primary power lies in its ability to manipulate the "laws of [[calamity]]", a universal force of karmic retribution. It also has the ability to take on the form of a seemingly normal human known as Satoru Akefu and can project itself onto transparent surfaces to travel long distances, both of which can be seen and interacted with by people who do not possess Stands. Wonder of U's ability is automatic, triggered simply by the target "pursuing" itself or its user, and it is sensitive enough to activate if someone is simply questioning why its human guise is nearby. Wonder of U's "calamities" always inflict grievous harm on its targets from causing traumatic injuries from mundane and otherwise harmless causes. Its range is unknown, but appears to be practically infinite, as Josuke and Rai Mamezuku have both been affected by its powers despite being nowhere near its user or the Stand's body.<br />

<br />
===Knowledge===<br />
• '''Tech-Savvy''': As a hospital employee, Toru is inferred to be very knowledgeable when it comes to technological crafting and regenerative medicine, and has an innovative outlook in life that he takes sincere pride in. He once mentioned to Yasuho about the idea of a wireless electromagnetic induction that he came up with, a battery duct that lets phones and other devices charge without the need of using any sort of wires and electrical outlets, as electricity simply bounces off in the sky and in between two devices. He also invented the technologically advanced medicine, [[Locacaca 6251]], alongside his subordinates within the research group of his own organization.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Toru Emergence.png|thumb|Toru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Toru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected.<br />
<br />
Some time in 1941, as [[Lucy Steel]] investigates a mysterious land in Morioh, she and [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Joseph Joestar]] are caught up by a [[Guard Rail]] attacking them. As they run away, Lucy spots Toru in the distance planting a [[Locacaca]] in a pot, before walking away.<ref name="JJL110">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Toru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], who was a little girl at that time. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Toru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Toru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Toru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Toru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Toru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Toru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> According to himself, Toru created a device that could charge other electronic devices via electromagnetic induction and brought the idea to several companies like Apple, Huawei or Softbank. However they all rejected his idea because of his youth and inexperience.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}</ref> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Toru, along with his colleague [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Toru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Toru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Toru yasuho.png|thumb|Toru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Toru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]].<br />
<br />
Afterward, Toru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Toru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (story arc)|The Wonder of You]]===<br />
[[File: Toru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Toru senses Josuke's plan through his Stand]]<br />
Toru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Toru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Toru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Toru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Toru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Toru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Intrigued, Toru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Toru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the hospital director to come to him, Toru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Toru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Toru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Toru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Toru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Toru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Toru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Toru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Toru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Toru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Toru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Toru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Toru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Toru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Toru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Toru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Toru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Toru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Toru to take the potted Locacaca. Toru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===[[Go Beyond (story arc)|Go Beyond]]===<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Toru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Toru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
As Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The invisible bubble flies towards Toru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Toru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "[[Spin|invisible spin]]", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Toru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Toru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Toru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
<br />
Toru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Toru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her Stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Toru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Toru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Toru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Toru to cure Tsurugi.<br />
[[File:Toru_death.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Toru crumbles away]]<br />
The process of the exchange begins, despite having eaten the Locacaca fruit first Toru still succumbs to the equivalent exchange. Kaato reveals the crushed branches within her cards, and pours the sap into Tsurugi's mouth. Wonder of U attempts to attack Kaato but it begins to crumble alongside Toru. In desperation he begins to plead, arguing that the fruit is divine providence and begging Kaato to stop. Kaato brushes away his pleas, determined to cure Tsurugi's illness and bear this sin. Toru begins to crumble further begs Yasuho to stop Kaato by reminding her of their previous relationship. Yasuho doesn't act and continues to watch. In his last moments, Toru hallucinates seeing a hornet and crumbles away. Despite his death however, the calamity still manages to injure Kaato and is capable of manifesting as Wonder of U in Norisuke's mouth but fortunately, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] comes to the scene and eliminates Wonder of U with his newfound ability, blasting the Calamity to bits.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Toru's main relationship in JoJolion's story is with his ex-girlfriend, [[Yasuho Hirose]], but he does have connections to the rest of the main group.<br />
<br />
===Ex-Girlfriend===<br />
<br />
*[[Yasuho Hirose]]: Toru's most well explored relationship is the one he has with his ex-girlfriend, Yasuho Hirose. In his initial appearance, Toru is surprised to see Yasuho in the TG University Hospital. He also teases her about their past relationship and questions Yasuho's connection to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. As more information about Toru is revealed, it becomes clear that Toru's affection for Yasuho is quite unusual. Originally meeting Yasuho as a young child, he manipulates her and her dormant [[Paisley Park|Stand ability]] in order to steal the identity of [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]], an elderly doctor, for his personal goals. Later on in life, Toru begins dating a now teenager Yasuho in high school, although the two separate a while later. Despite this, after remeeting Yasuho, Toru shows a desire to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho, not afraid to be intimate with her despite their now platonic relationship. Considering all of this, Toru shows Yasuho a unique degree of mercy once his true nature is revealed, seemingly willing to let her walk away from the calamity-affected Higashikata household to stay safe. Although, once Toru is in a life-or-death situation, he didn't mind using Yasuho's body in order to save himself in an equivalent exchange, showing that even this mercy doesn't go a lot further than simple warnings.<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Locacaca Organization]]: Toru's control over the various members of the Locacaca Organization, mainly the research team, and their exact relationship is never fully shown, but considering Poor Tom's sudden demise due to the pursuit of Toru, it can be inferred that Toru didn't care much for the lives of his comrades, sacrificing them once their usefulness to his own goals runs out.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]: Despite their opposing roles in JoJolion's story, Toru and Josuke rarely meet each other directly, with the former's Stand being the one to interact with Josuke most of the time. In their initial meeting, Toru finds Josuke in the hospital in order to deliver him a message from Yasuho, and later on, he also "helps" Josuke, Yasuho and [[Rai Mamezuku]] with their pursuit of the Hospital Director. (Although his "help" is part of his own attack on the group, making them pursue the Director in order to trigger his ability's calamity manipulation against them.) Due to Toru's past relationship with Yasuho, Josuke is initially wary of Toru and his still-present affection for Yasuho, questioning his actions and his interference with their pursuit of the Hospital Director. Later on, through his Stand, Wonder of U, Toru shows Josuke a more taunting side of his personality, goading Josuke into attacking his Stand to trigger his ability.<br />
*[[Rai Mamezuku]]: Toru and Rai never meet directly beyond very small interactions in Toru's initial appearances, but the former has had a large impact on Rai's life than what initially meets the eye. In Josuke and Rai's fight against Toru's [[Wonder of U]], the Stand reveals that its calamity as well as Rock insects were the reason for the death of both of Rai's parents, enraging Rai and sending him into a thoughtless attack against the Stand, ending in his death.<br />
*[[Kaato Higashikata]]: Despite meeting only once, Toru knows everything about Kaato's past, having to carry the burden of being the black sheep of the family which resulted from her undying will to save Jobin from the rock disease, Toru uses Kaato's unstable relationship with her family and Jobin's failed attempt to rid the Higashikata lineage of the disease in order to escape the situation he was in after he gets injured by Josuke's Go Beyond bubbles and being surrounded & cornered by the protagonists.<br />

|{{Q|Looks like we ran into each other at a good time. Seems like that's always the way with us...|Toru, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}}}<br />
|{{Q|'''"Electricity flying into the sky"'''. The idea of making a mechanism for electromagnetic induction that can charge something without an electrical outlet. I even filed a patent on it. Nobody had ever thought of it. Really, there's nothing out there that lets you charge something while it's in your pocket.<br />
<br />
But when I brought the idea to them, those companies all told me this. Except the Chinese company, they just laughed at me. '''"There are lots of people out there in the world thinking the same thing at the same time. That idea's just a step too late."'''|Toru talking about his failed dream|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}}}<br />

|{{Q|While I don't know their name, I do know... (1) That they're elderly, (2) That they once had a license to practice medicine, (3) That they're currently in a nursing home, (4) That they're not close with their family, so they rarely if ever get people visiting them.|Toru talking about [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]], {{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}}}<br />
|{{Q|As for eliminating 'Josuke'... I'm calling it off. Josuke has been quite a nuisance to me, he may even be a threat. I'd very much like to finish him off right now, but... I'm giving up on him.|Toru|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}<br />
|{{Q|What really matters is making sure I get my hands on that New Locacaca. I'll collect just that one pot. And then I will vanish from this place and from TG University. ''''Safety first''''. That is my goal, after all. Yasuho-chan... Give that ''''New Locacaca'''' to me.|Toru to Yasuho|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}<br />

|{{Q|You, just sit down. Why don't you take a nap or just sit there bewildered in silence? And most of all, you'd better not be getting any ideas of coming towards me.|Toru to Joshu|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}<br />

|{{Q|Atop the coastal cliffs! There is a ''''rock''''... Atop some others rocks, Higashikata Kaato... What that ''''rock'''' witnesses... Is only "dreams and memories". Memories of the landscape from those scenic cliffs... Clear skies, rainbows after storms... Mist... The beacons of lighthouses... Migratory birds and gulls... Glehnia plants... Only those dreams remain... "That which remains when it ends"... Defeat or victory mean nothing to that ''''rock'''' on top of those cliffs.|Toru To Kaato|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}}}<br />
|{{Q|I know the rumors about your past. 15 years ago, you killed some [[Jobin's Childhood Bully|obnoxious boy]] for your eldest son Jobin's sake. Even though you atoned for your crime in prison, your husband Norisuke still will not give you forgiveness. Even though you did it out of ''''love''''... So what sort of memories do you have left now? Only of ''''cruelty''''. None of the dreams Jobin held when he was alive were ever realized.|Toru to Kaato|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Do... You understand... What you're doing...? The new Locacaca ''''branch''''... Is a ''''natural law'''' of this world... That came about on this land from the series of overlapping coincidences of the wall eye faults from the earthquake, Kira Yoshikage's death... And Stand abilities. That plant will never again appear on this earth... Search any of the southern islands, you'll never find one. It is "divine providence that has appeared for the sake of life on earth"! This perfect plant will be gone forever... Stop this! Stop destroying all the "branches"!|Toru to Kaato|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 108}}}}<br />
|{{Q|P-Please, help me... Yasuho-Chan. I... Don't want to die... You're the only one... That can save me... Please... We've been friends ever since you were a child, haven't we...?|Toru To Yasuho|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 108}}}}<br />

{{Nihongo|'''''Vitamin C and Killer Queen'''''|ビタミンCとキラークイーン|Bitamin Shī to Kirā Kuīn}} is the twelfth story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates the circumstances of [[Josefumi Kujo]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]'s deaths, and the birth of [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
Back when [[Josefumi Kujo|Josefumi]] was a little child, he once almost drowned at the beach when his neglectful mother [[Kiyomi Kujo|Kiyomi]] hesitated saving her son from a failed relationship. Fortunately for the young Josefumi, Kiyomi's conscience pushed her to save him, but he was already unconscious from lack of oxygen and hitting his head against the rocks. Brought to the hospital, Josefumi was saved by [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and her son [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage]], who performed surgery with his Stand.<br />
<br />
Back to around two years ago, [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]] is conducting a trade of the [[Locacaca]] for 200,000,000 yen with star baseball player [[Atsunori Iwakiri]]. Both are spied on by Yoshikage and Josefumi, who see first hand the potential of the Locacaca when the baseball pitcher fully recover from his shoulder injury and greatly performs during the baseball match. Kira pretends to want to steal the fruit only for the money, but Josefumi tells him that he knows that Holy is ill and needs the fruit. Out of respect for both, Josefumi accepts cooperating with Kira in order to steal the fruit. Moreover, he demonstrates that they can reduce the risks by only stealing several branches and grafting them to harvest the future fruit at their leisure.<br />
<br />
As Aisho leaves the stadium, Kira and Josefumi trail him. By distracting Aisho with the help of an eye medicine and an engineered motorcycle accident, Josefumi manages to open the briefcase where the Locacaca is, take several branches and graft decoys in their place. The heist is a success.<br />
<br />
In the present, [[Tamaki Damo]] interrogates [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]], and asks him who killed [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]]. Damo has to cut off Norisuke's arm in order to make him confess that he killed Yotsuyu, but Damo correctly guesses that someone else was helping him.<br />
<br />
A flashback demonstrates how Holy's condition has worsened, and that she has trouble remembering her son. The narration goes to August 19, 2011. In Yoshikage's boat, the two young man discuss the grafted branches' condition, with Josefumi announcing that the fruits are almost ripe. As they approach the harbour, they see [[Karera Sakunami]] who has been stalking Josefumi for quite some time. However Yoshikage sees that Damo and Yotsuyu have boarded his sailing boat. As Damo reveals how he noticed the theft and traced it back to them, [[Vitamin C]] easily disables Josefumi and Yoshikage while overpowering [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]. Damo vents off some frustration on the powerless Kira, cutting off his liver, and then announces that he will spare one of them. Sensing a kind of responsibility for failing to protect the secret of the Locacaca, Damo decides that whoever tells him first about where the grafted branches are will live. He pushes Josefumi to reveal it, who almost confess, but Kira interrupts him, announcing that allies will come help them. Damo doesn't believe the surgeon at first, but sees Karera approach the boat. Yotsuyu sends [[I Am a Rock]] to pin Karera on the ground, but it is too late for the Rock Men to stop Kira's attack. Having hidden Sheer Heart Attack inside Karera's hair, Kira manages to make them explode, destroying a good part of the harbour and sending everyone into the water.<br />
<br />
Josefumi and Kira drift along the coast up to the grafted branches' location where Josefumi drags the already unconscious Kira to the branches and plans to feed him one of the fruits. At the harbor, Damo sends Yotsuyu and the [[A. Phex Brothers]] after Josefumi, wanting his subordinate to sweep the coast. At the same time, Karera is hiding behind some of the debris. Josefumi tries to feed Kira one of the fruits, but Kira doesn't react, his empty gaze indicating that he most certainly is dead. Josefumi eventually uses [[Soft & Wet]] to forcefeed Kira.<br />
<br />
In the present, Josuke reveals to Hato that Damo is an enemy and that they must fight him. Back to the past, Kira is seemingly healed, but Josefumi's face begins to crumble away, making him realize that the Locacaca he cultivated are different. While the Rockmen sweep the coast, wary of the incoming tsunami, Josefumi notices that Kira also has metal pieces embedded into his skull. Josefumi weeps as he realizes Kira also protected him from the blast. When the A. Phex Brothers meet and confront Josefumi, he promptly defeats them both and sends them into the cliff. Having no other choice, Josefumi confesses to the dead Kira that he secretly thinks that he should have died on the beach the day they met. Happy to have lived this long thanks to Holy, Josefumi sacrifices himself and takes the last fruit from the branches, hoping that Kira will be able to harvest them. He destroys the Locacaca, feeds it to Kira, and performs an equivalent exchange with him. Norisuke and Tsurugi are seen going back to their home to protect themselves, and a piece of the Locacaca is picked up by [[Iwasuke]]. At the same time, the earth opens under Josefumi and Kira, and both fall into a fissure.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo4|'''The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31)'''|植物鑑定人-豆銑 礼(31)|Shokubutsu Kanteinin - Mamezuku Rai (31)}} is the fifteenth story arc of [[JoJolion]].<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]'s meeting with [[Rai Mamezuku]], the plant appraiser.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] finally meet the plant appraiser [[Rai Mamezuku]], who has just hijacked the bus and demands that Josuke protects him first and foremost, as they are now under attack from an enemy Stand.<br />
<br />
Mamezuku, an analytical and unpleasant individual, eventually stops in a parking and invites Josuke and Yasuho to a chairlift, revealed to be his home, then cooks them a Romanoff cream. All the while, Mamezuku and Josuke discuss. The enemy is a brand new organization which is surely powerful and desires the new breed of [[Locacaca]], as it allows people to defy death. Because of the enemy, Mamezuku wants Josuke to make his protection the top priority. He is the only one who can find the Locacaca and must be kept safe at any cost.<br />
<br />
Mamezuku wants to reach the 8th pole of his chairlift to retrieve something but a tree sneaks on the group and releases a swarm of [[Brain Storm|cube-like Stands]] who can dissolve flesh and create holes on the body. Josuke instinctively protects Yasuho, which costs Mamezuku his hand. Miffed, Mamezuku throws Yasuho down the chairlift to expose her to the enemy attack and observe their power. Soon enough, Yasuho is attacked by in fact two Rock Humans. [[Urban Guerrilla|One of them]] human-like and possessing the cube Stands, [[Doremifasolati Do|the other]] having the form of a threaded vehicle who moves underground and in whom is encased the first foe.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 65}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 67}}</ref><br />

{{nihongo|'''Dolomite's Blue Lagoon'''|ドロミテの青い珊瑚礁|Doromite no Aoi Sangoshō}} is the fourteenth story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s struggle to escape from a [[Stand]] power which causes people to suddenly become extremely violent and pursue him across [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
At the [[Higashikata House]], [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] discuss what they ought to do, hiding from the rest of the family under the pretense that Josuke wants to try out Norisuke's motorcycle. Josuke shows a footage of [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] creeping in the garden, and suspects that he is in collusion with the [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization]], exposing Jobin's possible use as a cover for their smuggling. Norisuke refuses to believe that his eldest may be conspiring behind him, but as Josuke needs to find the [[Locacaca]] for his own mother [[Holy Joestar-Kira|Holy]] and his own grandson [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s life is at stake, he cooperates further with Josuke. Norisuke tells him to go find a [[Rai Mamezuku|plant appraiser]] that only he knows of who will be able to find the branch.<br />
<br />
Relaxing on a hammock in Norisuke's garden, [[Kaato Higashikata]] has been eavesdropping on them and after a brief fight with her ex-husband, Kaato calls Jobin and warns him that Josuke and Norisuke are planning to meet someone. Jobin thus heads to a pond near a shrine. In here he meets with a crippled [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]] named [[Dolomite]] whom he convinces to use his Stand [[Blue Hawaii]] to attack Josuke.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Josuke is given a letter by a [[Courier Boy|courier boy]]. In the letter, there is a tooth, and the boy starts to act feral, pursuing straight in Josuke's direction even if it means bashing his head against obstacles. Although the boy is soon neutralized and comes to his senses, a [[Mature Woman|mature woman]] who became involved soon turns feral too and pursues Josuke. Josuke sees that the boy has become conscious again and understands that the tooth is important in order to fight his enemy. The woman's attack are relentless, and Josuke, unable to touch her without being defeated, has to constantly flee. Pursued up to a scaffolding, Josuke gets almost bitten but [[Soft & Wet]] manages to bash the woman with a shovel and trap her inside a neighboring building. Josuke then tries to put as much distance between the infectee and him.<br />
<br />
Josuke calls [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] for help, as she is the one person he completely trusts. He explains his situation and instructs Yasuho to go investigate the tooth back at Ryūshō Temple bus station and be sure to not touch it. Yasuho departs immediately to help Josuke. Josuke realizes that he is in the middle of the crowded commercial district where anyone could attack him. Sure enough, another infectee has come to attack him. Defending himself and fleeing when he can, Josuke successively repels one infectee after the other. However, without Yasuho, he will eventually be defeated.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Yasuho has come to investigate the tooth, and has identified Dolomite as Masaji Dorokoma thanks to [[Paisley Park]]. However, before she can locate Dolomite, Jobin renders her unconscious, throws away the tooth, and breaks her mobile phone to stop her from helping Josuke. Although Yasuho wakes up, she has no way to find the enemy.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Josuke keeps being pursued by a bird, a taxi driver then a fly. Realizing that the enemy Stand can control animals, Josuke must flee again and goes into a store to take a bug spray can and kill the fly, but although it died, the fly's corpse still pursues him. Josuke retreats into the bathroom, aiming to narrow the fly's angle of attack, but to his dismay, a baby has been infected and tries to crawl into the bathroom. Unwilling to harm a baby, Josuke lets himself get touched and becomes controlled by Blue Hawaii. Josuke mindlessly walks up to Dolomite's pond, where the Rock Human interrogates him about his goal and resorts to order him to drown himself at the bottom of the pond.<br />
<br />
However, Yasuho who had been trailing Josuke, intervenes and bashes Dolomite with a metal bar. The limbless Dolomite cannot defend himself and when pushed into a mud pit, surrenders and reveals that it was Jobin who asked him to attack Josuke. Dolomite then comments that the two became involved with a dangerous business by approaching the Locacaca, all the more since a new species of the fruit has appeared.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 59}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home'''''|鳩ちゃんがボーイフレンドを連れて来た|Hato-chan ga Bōifurendo o Tsuretekita}} is the eleventh story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates the awkward moment between the [[Higashikata Family]] and [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]]'s new boyfriend, [[Tamaki Damo]], who reveals himself to be a malevolent [[Stand]] User linked to the [[Locacaca]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The legendary [[Locacaca Tree]] is introduced, being a plant from New Guinea formally discovered by an Australian expedition in 1938. The Locacaca was already very rare for the native New Guinean, who occasionally used the fruit to cure various ailments. During World War II, all reports of the fruit disappeared and it became a mere legend. [[Yasuho]] and [[Tsurugi]] are sitting in Yasuho's family room and are having a telephonic conversation with [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Yasuho has done some research about [[Josefumi Kujo]] and asks why Josuke is interested in him, to which Josuke answers that Josefumi might be his original identity. He then plans to go at Josefumi's house for further investigations and asks Yasuho if he can find a picture of him.<br />
<br />
Josuke's conversation is interrupted when he sees [[Hato]] coming back. [[Daiya]] and [[Joshu]] become incredibly excited, as Hato has brought her first boyfriend home. Daiya explains the situation to Josuke and enthusiastically asks how handsome is Hato's boyfriend. However, he and [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] are flabbergasted to see that the man in question is rather ugly, being short, overweight, adorning a horseshoe mustache and wearing a tracksuit. He introduces himself as [[Tamaki Damo]], manager of a cleaning store and 23 years old. Joshu finds the situation hilarious and openly mocks Damo, which infuriates Hato. Damo offers Norisuke some youkan; it is at that time that [[Kei Nijimura]] and Norisuke notice separately strange fingerprints on the family room's door handle and the youkan box, Kei trying to clean the fingerprints on the handle.<br />
<br />
Norisuke tries to change to subject of conversation and asks how Hato and Tamaki got acquainted with each other, wiping some handprints on the window. Meanwhile Josuke resumes his conversation with Yasuho on the phone and tells her to fax the photo of Josefumi she's found; Yasuho is rather skeptical as she comments that Josefumi doesn't look like Josuke. Hato then narrates that when she was doing a photo shoot in a studio next to Damo's shop, one of the necklace broke. Damo picked up all the pieces and repaired it, offering the necklace to Hato. Moreover Damo managed to write the sentence "I Love You" on the necklace, and Hato was seduced by the incredibly romantic gesture.<br />
<br />
Josuke then announces that he'll go out for a bit, and Norisuke asks him before that to get Kei, who's gone to the foyer and isn't answering. In the foyer, Josuke spots Kei's dish towel on the floor then traces of Kei, as if she's slipped into the walls. Meanwhile Damo enters the room on the left instead and gets out, which Joshu notices. Meanwhile the fax has finally printed and it is revealed that the man on the photo is none other than Tamaki Damo, using the name Josefumi Kujo. Daiya notices the fax while Joshu opens the locker door to look further inside it, but his hands slip inside the handles. Joshu then trips when he tries to free himself and hits his head on a nearby faucet it opens and the tap water goes through his head; Joshu is powerless as he and his [[Nut King Call]] are melted and drained into the faucet. Meanwhile Daiya, who is near blind, can only read the name on the fax and doesn't let the others see what is on the document. However Hato notices Damo's photo and asks to examine the sheet, to Daiya's refusal. Daiya runs to the next room to give Josuke his fax, but when Josuke looks at her, she's collapsed and is melting on the floor.<br />
<br />
As Josuke is stunned to see Daiya melting on the floor, Tamaki Damo approaches Hato and kindly asks her to go to the foyer and get back the fax. When Norisuke drinks his champagne, the bubbles distort his skin greatly and as he melts, Damo reveals his true self. Switching his behavior for a dominative one, Damo reveals that he's come to the Higashikata estate to solve "three" problems. Revealing his Stand [[Vitamin C]], Damo explains that he's firstly investigating the disappearance of [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|an architect]], two [[A. Phex Brothers|twin brothers]] and [[Aisho Dainenjiyama|a security guard]], eliminating the responsible party if necessary. While Damo proceeds to toy with the softened Norisuke, he asks him about [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]; Norisuke tries to play dumb, to no avail. Damo then tells Norisuke about the beginning of the whole affair.<br />
<br />
Two years ago, Yoshikage Kira, 27 years old and ship doctor by profession, is called on the deck to save a man who's fallen from the upper deck. After a short examination, Kira asks about the second victim, as there is another blood trace on the ground. Kira then discovers that the blood comes from one of the Rocks stored inside a container which was burst open, and notices the human form of Aisho Dainenjiyama in the rock. Curious, Kira inquires about the container and learns that it's from Port Moresby in New Guinea, that its cargo is listed as perfectly legal, and that the Higashikata Fruit Parlor is he client. Back in Morioh, Kira is watching over the docks. He surprises Ojiro Sasame eating noodles in a nearby restaurant and bullies him, prompting the surfer to flee. Meanwhile Kira finally sees Aisho getting out of the hangar where the Rocks were stored, and deducing that he is part of a strange fruit trade, decides to tail Aisho and eventually steal the fruit. When the client in question manages to extract the pepper from the soup, Kira recognizes the man as Josefumi Kujo.<br />
<br />
In the present, Josuke warns Hato, who's entered the foyer, not to touch anything and tells her that Tamaki Damo is attacking the family right now. Josuke tries to escape by breaking the glass door with a flower pot, but it slips back at Josuke, who is now under the effect of Vitamin C as well. Unknowingly to Hato, the enemy Stand lurks right behind her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}</ref><br />

:''For the Stand with the same name see: [[I Am a Rock]].''<br />
{{Nihongo|'''''"I Am a Rock"'''''|『アイ・アム・ア・ロック』|"Ai Amu A Rokku"}} is the seventh story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It continues the fight between [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]], [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]], and [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] and their discovery of a [[Locacaca|mysterious fruit]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
Using [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu's]] scent from [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]], [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] manages to find the architect in his rock form. Scratching the rock skin with a boulder, and seeing it bleed, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and Norisuke are puzzled by Yotsuyu's true nature. Yotsuyu uses their momentary distraction from observing the canisters of pesticide converging toward Josuke, Yotsuyu appears before them and declares that he will obtain the Higashikata's wealth and that Josuke is checkmate before disappearing again when [[Soft & Wet]] punches him away.<br />
<br />
Knowing that Yotsuyu will use Yasuho against him, Josuke chooses to go on the offensive and foregoes defending himself against the canisters. Spotting Yotsuyu from the bleeding scratch, Josuke imprisons him in a bubble and begins to transport him to the coast. Yotsuyu reveals his [[Stand]], [[I Am a Rock]], and pops the bubble with converging rocks as the canisters of pesticide reach Josuke.<br />
<br />
Covered in pesticide, Josuke nonetheless pushes Yotsuyu off the cliff with him and both fall into the sea. Communicating underwater with his bubbles, Josuke envelops Yotsuyu who changed into his rock form to protect himself in several fishnets thrown by Norisuke at his request. Josuke gives Yotsuyu a choice, either revealing him who he is, or face lingering underwater forever in his rock form for fear of drowning. Enraged, Yotsuyu only reveals that he killed Josuke earlier and that Kira saved him. Attacking Josuke again, but beaten, Yotsuyu starts breaking down and dies, only saying that Josuke will be betrayed by the Higashikatas in his dying breath. At the same time Josuke spots a mysterious fruit sinking in the water from the architect's bag.<br />
<br />
Pulling Yotsuyu's remains off the water, Josuke and Norisuke inspects them, still baffled by Yotsuyu's rock physiology. In the bunker, [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] sees his grandfather and Josuke come back with Yasuho and take her to the bedroom, and reveals that after investigating Yotsuyu, he couldn't find any address or bank account despite his qualifications as an architect, raising the question of where does Yotsuyu come from and how was he raised and educated. Tsurugi then asks if they have seen the cure for the disease, which first being denied its existence by Norisuke, is then confirmed by Josuke when he reveals that he saw a fruit sinking down the sea. Linking that fruit to a possible motive for his presence in Morioh, Josuke decides to investigate the fruit to uncover his past. In the bedroom, Yasuho discovers a piece of the mysterious fruit in her pocket, and goes back to sleep.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 31}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 32}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''Norisuke Higashikata, Tsurugi Higashikata, and Yotsuyu Yagiyama'''''|東方憲助と東方つるぎと八木山夜露|Higashikata Norisuke to Higashikata Tsurugi to Yagiyama Yotsuyu}} is the sixth story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s battle against [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], a man with a [[Rock Humans|strange rock-like constitution]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
In the morning, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] awakens in his bedroom, seeing from his window [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] leaving from the back of the house, carrying bags full of food. Asking [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]] what there is on the far side of the yard. She mentions the Wall Eyes, some woods, and the debris of a ruined shed.<br />
<br />
[[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] asks Josuke about his experience at school, when [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] interjects with a nonsensical, fictional account of the day, implied to be a result of damage inflicted by [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] by a large lump on his head.<br />
<br />
From the balcony at the house's rear, Josuke identifies the shed, by the pine, and the spring where he emerged; all lined up with the Wall Eyes. Spotting Tsurugi, he gives chase, resolving to interrogate each member of the family.<br />
<br />
Norisuke confronts Josuke; prompting Josuke to say outright that he is following Tsurugi, and that he finds the Higashikatas highly suspicious, wishing to ask them all certain things directly; embarking on an interrogation.<br />
<br />
He settles to ask Norisuke whether he killed [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]], which he says he did not, and in three parts: First, that he knows of the power of the Wall Eyes to combine two objects, and argues that if he wished Kira dead, he should wish the same of Josuke. Second, that he is sympathetic to Kira's family, including [[Holy Joestar-Kira]], being that theirs shares its fate with his, with respect to the curse of their disease; and third, that he actually needed Kira, believing that he had a clue as to their cure.<br />
<br />
Norisuke says that he adopted Josuke in the hope that he has retained these memories; reaffirms his wish for his family's happiness, and that he does not know the identity of the other person composing Josuke, suggesting that he consider himself the individual currently searching for his identity.<br />
<br />
Asking Norisuke, a firstborn, how he himself was cured, Norisuke limits his answer to that his parents traded their lives to cure him. Josuke asks Norisuke's permission to question Tsurugi, and the request encourages Norisuke to accompany him as a form of compromise.<br />
<br />
On the way Josuke decides to inquire about the nature of Norisuke's Stand - even going as far as to ask if he can observe it after having deduced everyone in his family should possess one, and his awareness of Tsurugi's ability. Although he admits to being aware that Tsurugi possesses a Stand, Norisuke informs Josuke that he had no idea his grandson had attacked him and opts to momentarily reveal [[King Nothing|his Stand's]] hand in order to satisfy Josuke while keeping its full nature private.<br />
<br />
Distracted, Norisuke notices the hatch to the basement open, describing the destroyed shed above it being designed a rest stop; and in the past, the basement below to store and research their fruit trees.<br />
<br />
Moments later Josuke feels something touch his shoe and theorizes it to have been Tsurugi's accomplice [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], although he cannot determine how he managed to sneak up on them without him noticing. These strange occurrences prompt him to warn Norisuke that something strange appears to be happening on the Higashikata property even its patriarch is unaware of, given the bizarre nature of Kira's death.<br />
<br />
It is at that moment that an odd sound alerts them to the approach of heavy, rolling pots which appear to be converging on their location from all directions. They are in such great numbers that the duo assume them to be from all over Morioh and wonder if this is the affect of their enemy's Stand.<br />
<br />
Breaking the pots with [[Soft & Wet]] proves ineffective when the shards begin to dig into Josuke's flesh, ever gravitating towards his 'core'. It is only through the combined effort of a now free Norisuke dragging him out of the Pot's reach and Josuke utilizing soap bubbles to steal the weight of the shards attached to him does he escape death.<br />
<br />
The two take this brief moment to plan their next move; either progress towards the hatch and risk a trap or flee and abandon the unconscious Yasuho which Josuke refuses to do. While analyzing the enemy's Stand Josuke and Norisuke both feel the sensation of being touched again, and just as before cannot pinpoint the location of the culprit.<br />
<br />
This time hundreds of chestnuts advance on the pair and threaten to pierce their skin with sharp pines until Josuke robs them of their moisture and cause them to collapse, giving Norisuke enough time to force the hatch open and break the chained inner handle with a rock. Once the two enter and seal the bunker they find themselves out of their opponent's effective radius and indulge in a temporary calm.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 27}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 29}}</ref><br />

}}{{Nihongo|'''''Soft & Wet'''''|ソフト&ウェット|Sofuto & Wetto}} is the first story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates the [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man in the sailor hat]] and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]'s investigation of the former's identity, leading them to [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]'s apartment, where they find a [[Kidnapped Girl|female hostage]], and are all suddenly ambushed by [[Ojiro Sasame|an assailant]] above them.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man found from the ground]] reveals that he is knowledgeable, but has no memory whatsoever as to his own history.<br />
<br />
[[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] visits the man at a hospital. Set on discovering his identity, they escape. Yasuho realizes the label on the mysterious man's hat, a shop called "SBR", so they head there. Seeing them leave from his hospital room window, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] feels jealous and notices the bite marks on his knees before collapsing from a fever.<br />
<br />
At the SBR hat shop, Yasuho and the mysterious man show the [[SBR Hat Shop Owner|shopkeeper]] the hat; they discover that the man bought his hat there three days prior, revealing a record of the sale to a man named "[[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]". The shopkeeper also shows the two Kira's address, which is an apartment building. Going to the apartment, Yasuho believes that "Yoshikage" does not suit the protagonist, and nicknames him "Josuke", after her [[Josuke (Dog)|childhood dog]].<br />
<br />
In Kira's apartment, they find a sailor's outfit that seems to fit Josuke well. Then they hear noises from the bathroom. When they investigate the bathroom they find a [[Kidnapped Girl|young woman]] bathing in the tub completely naked. Yasuho assumes the girl to be Josuke's girlfriend, but then the naked woman pleads the two for help, to Josuke and Yasuho's suspicion. Then Yasuho finds a [[Minor Items#Ojiro's Traps|photo album]]. In the photos is the mysterious woman having bound sex with what appears to be Josuke. Devastated and convinced that Josuke is a sadist, Yasuho flees the apartment, shouting at Josuke to leave [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] and never return.<br />
<br />
Josuke demands an explanation from the woman. She states Josuke was a captive with her before escaping three days prior, and that she assumed he had returned to help her escape. She mentions that their [[Ojiro Sasame|captor]] resides on the floor above them, and that he has a [[Fun Fun Fun|limb-controlling power]] that activates when his victim is directly underneath him. She is already in full control, and relies on Josuke to save them both.<br />
<br />
After saving the naked woman from instances of self-harm puppeted by the enemy Stand, Josuke reveals his [[Stand]], [[Soft & Wet]], and is violently forced to overcome the attacks targeting him. The naked hostage makes a deal with the Stand user above them for her own safety. For mercy, she tells the man where Josuke is hiding and leaves Josuke to die. However, her getaway is interrupted by Yasuho, who returned after contemplating and realizing she must have mistaken about the photos. Then Yasuho realizes she's been pulled into the situation. Josuke eventually manages to grab the attacker and interrogates him.<br />
<br />
The man identifies himself as [[Ojiro Sasame]], a surfer seeking revenge against Yoshikage Kira, whom Josuke closely resembles (in dress as well as in body). Ojiro explains how Kira constantly asked him a question which eventually made Ojiro insane and led to consuming his own fingers. In revenge, Ojiro rigged all sorts of [[Minor Items#Ojiro's Traps|traps]] in Kira's room; he notably captured a woman and set her up naked in the bathroom both as bait and to frame Kira of kidnapping and rape; it's also revealed that the man in the bondage photos was Ojiro disguised as Kira in order to frame Kira further. Yasuho then points out a photo of Kira with the [[Wall Eyes]] in the background, where Josuke first appeared. They knock Ojiro out, and travel to the site of Kira's self-portrait.<br />
<br />
Arriving at the Wall Eyes, buried deeper, they discover the body of another man. Narrated after the fact, an autopsy reveals that the body belonged to Yoshikage Kira, who is assumed to have died of cardiac arrest three days prior. The strangest part is that Kira was missing his testicles.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Josuke is adopted by the [[Higashikata Family]], which included Joshu. They all greet him, and give him the name "Josuke", like Yasuho did.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the woman from before, who fled during Ojiro's interrogation, hides her naked body in a trash can, still lost. She laments about going back home, but ends up humiliating herself in front of [[Bicycle Kids|two boys]] who bumped into her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''California King Bed'''''|カリフォルニア・キング・ベッド|Kariforunia Kingu Beddo}} is the second story arc of ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s struggle against [[Daiya Higashikata]], who is smitten with him and gradually takes away the few memories he has.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
[[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]] engages [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] with her [[Stand]] [[California King Bed]] after he is apparently manipulated into fussing after help or a phone in response to the sight of a massive open wound on her leg. He loses the specific memory of the meaning of the mysterious square mark he has seen on Kira's corpse, and on the banister leading to [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s study.<br />
<br />
[[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] returns to her home, where she unhappily discovers her mother drunk and asleep; before she notices and opens the results of a DNA test she commissioned on both Josuke and Kira; which gives the result that the two are "the same person", to within a small margin of error.<br />
<br />
Josuke, told by Daiya the weakness of her Stand, silently turns off the switch to her closet in order to make her step on his shadow as cast from the other room. When he moves suspiciously, Daiya correctly accuses him, and moves towards the switch.<br />
<br />
Josuke is caught for turning off the light; losing his memory of Yasuho. Daiya attempts to seduce him, and he begins to engage; when Norisuke walks in on the two and states that he will kill Josuke for taking advantage of his daughter, but not before making him a slave (also showing that he knows of her ability). Josuke unconsciously releases the sound of the light switch he had stored previously, alerting Daiya.<br />
<br />
Josuke uses his Stand ability to open the fridge door without making any noise. He is able to lure Daiya to the fridge, and from there, steps on her shadow using the refrigerator light. Josuke finally defeats Daiya's stand and recovers his memories. He remembers the strange markings found on the stairway leading to Norisuke's study. He also remembers these same markings were found on Yoshikage Kira. With Daiya as his guide, they make their way up to the study.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 10}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way"'''''|『ペイズリー・パーク』と『ボーン・ディス・ウェイ』|"Peizurī Pāku" to "Bōn Disu Wei" }} is the third story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s misadventures, pursued by a [[Born This Way|biker]] [[Stand]] in the streets of [[Morioh]], but aided by a [[Paisley Park|mysterious GPS]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
After reading the family tree book, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] makes a plan to find [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Kira]]'s mother, [[Holy Joestar-Kira]], whom [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]] mentions resides in Morioh hospital.<br />
<br />
Utilizing his phone's GPS on the way, which seems to communicate contradictory instructions, Josuke is trailed and attacked by a dark [[Born This Way|motorcycle rider]]. Josuke manages to kick off the rider's helmet, revealing a Stand composed of both bike and rider.<br />
<br />
Josuke deduces that mysteriously, his GPS is actually directing him in escape of his pursuer. Reaching the hospital, almost defeated, Josuke finds and defeats [[Kei Nijimura]], the Higashikata family's maid as well as the motorcycle rider Stand's users.<br />
<br />
Josuke asks Nijimura whether or not she attacked him under [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s orders. She reacts with distaste and insists on killing him if he approaches Holy, who she reveals to be both her and Yoshikage Kira's mother. Thus, Josuke resolves to find another way to conduct his research.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 16}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''"Shakedown Road"'''''|『カツアゲロード』|"Katsuage Rōdo"}} is the fourth story arc in ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]]'s misadventure in [[Shakedown Road]], where they repeatedly get extorted their money.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The next day, at the breakfast table, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] for a cell phone, as well as the chance to go to school. Norisuke agrees, but orders [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] to escort him.<br />
<br />
Joshu tests Josuke with a trigonometric problem, which he solves, before Joshu asks him to walk with him to a different high school, as a favor. Josuke and Joshu travel to [[Shakedown Road]], known for its kleptomaniacal community. Joshu hopes to record himself being robbed in order to complain with evidence to the police for an earlier crime.<br />
<br />
Arriving, Joshu unknowingly breaks a child's "compact" toy before her mother demands compensation; as does Josuke a turtle tank in a nearby store window, apparently killing the turtles inside; for which the store owner extorts Josuke for ¥20,000 and a plan to pay off ¥330,000. Joshu captures the event with his phone; discovering that Josuke had stepped on leaves, rushed almost instantly to the tank, and then back, unaware.<br />
<br />
Continuing, Josuke is confronted by three men who had been watching from afar, who accuse Josuke of having made one drop his cell phone into a puddle. Watching another recording just made, Josuke sees himself again slide backward, knock into the man, then return to his original position, again unaware. The men propose that Josuke deliver a package underneath a nearby flower pot to a nearby woman as compensation. Having been set up to exchange an illegal substance, the two are soon arrested by a pair of police officers also observing.<br />
<br />
Joshu meanwhile analyses mysterious actions between the woman and the gangsters during the exchange, localizing the effect to the ginkgo leaves scattered on the ground; and intercepts their exchange of money, fleeing. While Josuke is pinned by the policemen, the gangsters notice Joshu's sleight and give chase, easily catching up using the ginkgo leaves.<br />
<br />
[[File:1368708644258.jpg|thumb|right|150px]] Preparing to beat him, a nut and screw suddenly materializes on one of their hands. Confused the man unscrews it, causing his hand to detache from his wrist. Panic rises among them as his other hand falls and more screws form, before Joshu's Stand, [[Nut King Call]], is fully revealed. Joshu escapes, reversing his Stand's effect; before discovering his stolen money is in fact composed of leaves.<br />
<br />
The policemen discover Josuke's package contains only candy, and release him. Josuke reveals he had also deduced [[Les Feuilles|the power of the gingko leaves]], and during its exchange had taken the money for himself with his Stand, which with he pays the pet shop owner in full for his case and turtles.<br />
<br />
Josuke then makes a call to [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] while she is in class. Seeing Joshu's caller ID, she doesn't answer, but noticing the origin of Josuke's call on her phone's map, Yasuho takes interest in a nearby landmark named ''Joestar Jizō''. Searching the term, she is reminded of Holy and the Higashikata/Joestar family tree. Subconsciously employing [[Paisley Park]], Yasuho continues to research the subject on her phone.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 18}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 21}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''''Every Day Is a Summer Vacation'''''|毎日が夏休み|Mainichi ga Natsuyasumi}} is the eighth story arc of ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It narrates [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]]'s beetle fight match, which quickly transforms into a [[Stand]] battle beneath the cover of a harmless game.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
At the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata's]], the family members are having fun showing each other the strange gifts [[Jobin]] got for them. [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks if he can go to Jobin's room, saying he needs advice for raising his stag beetle. Accompanied by [[Joshu]], Josuke is accepted into Jobin's room, where he sees a wall full of a multitude of exposed beetles, {{W|entomology}} books, and a rearing room for Jobin's collection of live beetles.<br />
<br />
A flashback narrates Josuke going to [[Tsurugi]] and asking him what Jobin's [[Stand]] ability is. Tsurugi was reluctant at the idea of acting against a family member, especially his own father, but Josuke pressures him, telling Tsurugi that his father was keeping the source of the cure for his disease a secret to his family, and that [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] would rather preserve his eldest son than his grandchild. Tsurugi finally reveals that Jobin could be manipulated using his obsession with beetles and beetle fights.<br />
<br />
Josuke inspects the live beetles, and pointing at one Palawanicus, nonchalantly mentions that his Palawanicus could beat it in a straight fight. Interested, Jobin then challenges Josuke to a beetle fight, just as Tsurugi predicted. Josuke uses the opportunity to raise the stacks with a bet. Setting a fighting arena made of cork circled with soft rush plant, Jobin explains the rules of a beetle fight:<br />
*According to the apparent 45-second memory of the beetles, during which they are eager to fight, a determining factor in a fight can be raised by brushing them with female beetle pheromones. <br />
*The contestants make the beetles fight for a period of 45 seconds. The beetle that is killed, is lifted up for 10 seconds, or leaves the ring loses. <br />
Jobin then demonstrates the fighting proficiency of his own Palawanicus by making it kill a Japanese hornet and proposes that the loser shaves his eyebrow, to which Josuke accepts.<br />
<br />
The first round begins between the two Palawanicus. At first, Jobin's beetle gets the upper hand due to its sharpened mandibles and planted female pheromones from a brush, making it push Josuke's beetle to the border of the arena. The tables are turned when Josuke releases the pheromones he planted in the soft rush plants with his bubbles. Josuke's beetle then makes Jobin's beetle flee out of the arena. A frustrated Jobin shaves off his left eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Yasuho]] begins to master her Stand [[Paisley Park]] when Tsurugi rings the bell and asks her to follow him. Despite his loss, Jobin is enjoying himself and challenges Josuke to another beetle fight, and again Josuke accepts. Josuke then proposes his true goal; the {{W|Lamborghini}} Jobin owns. If Josuke wins, he can check the event data recorder in secret, and Jobin unknowingly accepts. In the Higashikata house, Tsurugi tells Yasuho that Paisley Park's power will be crucial in the investigation. The second opponent is a golden stag beetle, also known as a Rosenbergi. As the match begins, Jobin tells Josuke that if he wins, he is allowed to lick Josuke's eyeball.<br />
<br />
The Palawanicus' superior size and weight enables it to push the Rosenbergi to the border of the ring. However, the Rosenbergi suddenly moves in an unnaturally precise manner, knocking the Palawanicus over and biting off one leg. The Palawanicus is almost pushed over the border as Josuke reads from an encyclopedia that stag beetles instinctively play dead when feeling strong vibrations at their legs. Intrigued that the Rosenbergi could exploit this weakness, Josuke secretly deduces that Jobin could in fact remotely command it. As the Rosenbergi chomps off another leg, Josuke notices liquid oozing from its head. The Palawanicus falls from the ring, but since the clock went over 45 seconds, Josuke has not lost.<br />
<br />
Before the second bout, Josuke secretly plunders the scent from Jobin's paintbrush and then inquires about the liquid. Jobin reveals that it's wax, that when melted will cause convulsions in the beetle and eventually kill it, but not before Jobin wins. As the second round begins, Josuke pops the bubbles that plundered the air around this paintbrush, and is baffled to discover that the paintbrush has exuded a temperature as high as 60&nbsp;°C. As the Rosenbergi slowly overwhelms the Palawanicus with its precise movement, Josuke witnesses a faint apparition of [[Speed King|Jobin's Stand]]. Josuke then realizes that the beetle fight has been a front for a Stand battle. Suddenly Joshu knocks his foot on the tank where the hornet was killed and asks where the lower half of it's body with the stinger went. The abdomen is shown to be near Josuke who is now showing confidence as the Rosenbergi goes mad and convulses. Josuke had planted some of the hornet's poison in Jobin's brush, which eventually killed his beetle, making Josuke the winner.<br />
<br />
As Josuke takes the Lamborghini's keys with him and leaves the room, Jobin stops him, having realized that Josuke went there for an ulterior motive. The keys are transported anyway to Tsurugi with a bubble, and he goes to investigate the car in the garage.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 34}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 37}}</ref><br />

{{nihongo|'''Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves'''|ドクター・ウーと目醒める3枚の葉っぱ|Dokutā Ū to Mezameru Sanmai no Happa}} is the eighteenth story arc of ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
It follows the subsequent investigation by the protagonists of Morioh's University Hospital, as well as [[Yasuho]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata]]'s confrontation against [[Wu Tomoki]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
In the aftermath of the latest attack on the [[Higashikata Family]], [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] goes to the university hospital to complain about her latest affliction: the side of her head is secretly turning into stone. Her physician, Dr. [[Wu Tomoki]], then suspiciously proposes to her a secret new treatment; later [[Yasuho]] who has gone to the same hospital, sees Mitsuba without her legs. She calls Josuke and informs him of this, causing Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] to worriedly rush to the hospital. Despite their warnings to not interfere, she decides to investigate further.<br />
<br />
Following Mitsuba into an examination room, Yasuho explains the situation to Jobin's wife but is soon attacked by Dr. Tomoki, who can disassemble into small pebbles and infiltrate bodies. Thankfully, she manages to extract the fragments before she can be controlled. Mitsuba realizes that she doesn't know what the treatment to her ailments really is, and decides to ally with Yasuho.<br />
<br />
Mitsuba only remembers entering a room full of the [[Locacaca]] trees and reveals that she is pregnant. Wishing to investigate what was done to her, Mitsuba decides to fight. Dr. Wu Tomoki stops them from reaching Josuke and Mamezuku in the lobby, but Mitsuba summons her Stand [[Awaking III Leaves]] whose vector power keep the pebbles away. Going into an elevator, Mitsuba tries to evacuate the rocks from her body but sees with horror that at least part of the fetus she's carrying has turned into stone. Then the two women are soon caught up by Tomoki.<br />
<br />
Horrified and angry, Mitsuba manages to trap most of Wu Tomoki and then tosses him through a window. Resolving to save the baby, Mitsuba puts its fragments back into her body and heads to the examination room. Incidentally, Yasuho meets an old acquaintance of hers, Tooru. She asks Tooru to alert Josuke and Mamezuku of her location, and while the two women investigate the room, looking at a video demonstration of the Locacaca and opening the vault, Tooru meets with Josuke Mamezuku. Tooru then reveals that he is Yasuho's ex-boyfriend.<br />
<br />
In the laboratory containing a garden full of Locacacas, Mitsuba wastes no time to eat one of the Locacaca to save her foetus. However, Wu Tomoki has already returned and infiltrated the fruit, taking control of Mitsuba once again. She sends Yasuho flying into one of the laboratory's niches containing deadly diseases and breaks the vials and petri dishes open, threatening to kill anyone in the room. However, Yasuho returns some of the arrows against Tomoki and successfully purges him out of Mitsuba. Although Wu then turns the garden into fragment and tries to forcefeed the women, Josuke barges in and saves them with Soft & Wet, trapping Wu Tomoki inside a bubble mixed with medicinal cement. Wu suffocates due to the cement preventing skin respiration and dies.<br />
<br />
Yasuho and Mamezuku see that the stolen Locacaca branch isn't there and everyone exits the room, but not before destroying the stored trees. Reaching to the conclusion that during their fight with [[Poor Tom]], the branch was switched by a third party, the group begins to suspect [[Jobin Higashikata]]. Meanwhile, seeing her petrified nose, Mitsuba smiles as she knows her child is saved.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 79}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 82}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)'''|ザ・ワンダー・オブ・ユー (君の奇跡の愛)|Za Wandā Obu Yū (Kimi No Kiseki No Ai)}} is the nineteenth story arc of [[JoJolion]].<br />
<br />
It follows [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]], [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]], and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]'s chase after the last member of the [[Locacaca Organization]], the head doctor [[Satoru Akefu]]. At the same time, it follows [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]]'s deeper involvement in the plot surrounding the [[Locacaca]] and her [[Higashikata Family|family]], the return of [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]], and the climactic battle between Josuke and [[Tooru]]'s Stand [[Wonder of U]].<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
===The Heroes Pursue The Head Doctor===<br />
In the aftermath of the battle against [[Wu Tomoki]], [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]], [[Yasuho Hirose]] and [[Rai Mamezuku]] assemble. Researching the T.G. University Hospital and discovering its history and profile, they also learn that Wu Tomoki, [[Urban Guerrilla]] (revealed to be named "Ryo Shimosato"), [[Poor Tom]], and the unseen [[Wonder of U|head doctor]] of the hospital are the only people to have entered the secret laboratory. Unable to find any information on the mysterious head doctor, Mamezuku and Josuke conclude that he is the one with the Locacaca branch.<br />
<br />
However, Yasuho assures that the [[Locacaca Research Organization]] is not in possession of the branch, Mamezuku criticizes her brash actions back in the hospital and argues that both he and Josuke saw the branch being taken with their own eyes. Josuke agrees, although [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] remains a suspect. The two men decide to investigate the head doctor first. Upset that her theory has fallen on deaf ears, Yasuho incidentally meets [[Tooru]] again, with whom she instinctively holds hands with but quickly backs off. Expressing a desire to see her again, Tooru leaves. Observing from afar, Mamezuku teases Josuke about his relationship with Yasuho but then proposes to research Tooru too.<br />
<br />
At the [[Higashikata House]], [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] plays a prank on [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] by detaching his tongue using [[Nut King Call]] and throwing it at his sister, playing dumb when Hato accuses him. However, when [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]] sends [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] to look for [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]], the boy accidentally steps on Joshu's tongue, causing him to bend over in pain and proving his guilt. Narration reflects on how [[Stand]]s remain a private topic even among a close-knit family and then ominously reveals that there is a time when the hidden feelings of the heart will inevitably come out and be impossible to stop. <br />
<br />
The plot flashes forward to 13 minutes just before the harvest of the Locacaca. Tsurugi steps inside Norisuke's office, where Norisuke's body lays on the floor in a body bag, bleeding severely and with one arm severed. As Tsurugi calmly drags Norisuke's body into the balcony, an [[Paper Moon King|origami frog]] hops out of the body bag.<br />
<br />
The plot then jumps back to 7 days, 1 hour and 2 minutes before the harvest of the Locacaca. Mitsuba arrives in front of Tsurugi's school to take him back to their home after a school trip to the Omoshiroyama-Yamadera trail. The crowd is disturbed to see her missing nose, but Mitsuba reassures them that everything is fine before taking Tsurugi with her. However, the leader of the troop then talks with Mitsuba about an incident that happened during the trip. According to the teacher, Tsurugi was teased by a group of girls about rumors of the murder that Jobin committed. Almost immediately after the teasing, the apparent leader of the girls, [[Mina]], is frightened by a frog leaping on her shoe, causing her to fall into a puddle of water. Upset by the topic of the teasing and believing that Tsurugi hasn't done any wrong, Mitsuba threatens to have the leader fired. As she calls for Tsurugi to come home with her, she notices that the boy has hidden behind the slides.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, one of the girls that bullied Tsurugi frantically runs up to the leader and cries for her to call an ambulance. Screams and shouts erupt from the school entrance as the body of Mina is discovered, having apparently been crushed between the iron gates of the school. A bystander also notices that Mina's underwear is stained with blood. Mina's mother, sobbing and holding her daughter's body, insists that the gates were far too heavy to have merely closed on their own and that someone intentionally closed them. As the leader asks if anyone saw what happened, the girl that alerted her claims that she saw Tsurugi push the gates closed. The crowd turns to look at Tsurugi, as Mitsuba stands in shock.<br />
<br />
6 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes before the harvest. [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]], [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] start their search for the mysterious head doctor, the supposed last member of the [[Locacaca Organization]]. Although she tags along, Yasuho is still certain that the [[Locacaca]] is in the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
The trio are informed that the head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]] is right behind them, taking his leave. Despite supposedly being a 89 years old man walking with a cane, Akefu disappears from sight in the crowd of the hospital. Following him down a staircase, Josuke catches a glimpse of an [[Wonder of U|unknown]] [[Stand]] on the ceiling. Josuke summons [[Soft & Wet]] to attack it but the Stand disappears and the trio loses track of the doctor. The group then suddenly collides with a hospital bed rolling in their way and [[Tooru]] appears again, trying to flirt with Yasuho which causes some suspicion fueled by jealousy from Josuke's part. Nonetheless, Tooru politely shows that Dr. Akefu has been sitting behind them.<br />
<br />
Puzzled that he escaped notice until now, Josuke and Mamezuku then bump against a glass door, and trip over scattered chairs. Before such incidents, Mamezuku concludes that the head doctor is certainly the mastermind of the whole Locacaca Organization and a Stand User at that. Meanwhile, Josuke notices a suspicious bleeding on the hand that has touched the door. The doctor then keeps evading the group and eventually exits the hospital. While Yasuho and Josuke become embroiled in a love triangle, with Tooru starting to approach Yasuho again and Josuke being unsure of Yasuho's true feeling, Mamezuku's legs have been inexplicably shredded. The trio realizes that they are indeed in the middle of a Stand attack. Yasuho and Josuke continue to seek the doctor who now has boarded a bus and a car almost crashes into them, forcing them to abandon the chase for now. However, Josuke then gets into trouble when a patient with a broken neck dies after trying to ignite a fight. Josuke is now a suspect and must be detained, leaving Yasuho alone, although Tooru is still roaming close to her.<br />
<br />
Josuke and Mamezuku manage to evade the police for a while. The pair has notably put a Lamborghini on a tree to hide from the police, using the reprieve to gather their thoughts. They theorize that [[Satoru Akefu]]'s [[Stand]] is attacking by making things knock into them but are unsure about the trigger. Moreover, Mamezuku discovers that Satoru Akefu may be attending a lecture on regenerative medicine at the [[TG University Hospital]]. Once they decide to actually go to the lecture, Satoru's Stand reappears only to disappear again when Josuke summons Soft & Wet. Its reappearance makes them realize that it is triggered by the intent of pursuit. As they worriedly leave the car to escape the incoming attack, Josuke and Mamezuku discover with horror that the drops from an incoming rain become lethal projectiles, forcing them to take refuge in a police car. Cornered by Satoru Akefu's attack, Josuke confesses to Mamezuku that at this point, he may still have no proper identity even if he's found out the identities of the two men he is composed of, since he neither has any memory nor has anyone from his past been looking for him. Josuke is thus determined to claim the Locacaca and perform an equivalent exchange as proof of his existence. Josuke thus steps out of the car, willingly letting the raindrops pierce his body to be transported to the hospital. A shocked Mamezuku is left behind, apprehended by the police. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Yasuho and Tooru are sitting together. Reminiscing an incident in which he was inspired to create an invention thanks to Yasuho but was ignored, Tooru manages to turn the conversation back to his love life, asking Yasuho again to come back together. Yasuho is distracted by her own researches, and Tooru eventually helps Yasuho by showing her a photo revealing not only Satoru Akefu's face, but also revealing that he and Mitsuba Higashikata are acquainted. Convinced that Mitsuba is targeted by Satoru Akefu, Yasuho decides to go to the Higashikata House. There is 48 hours left before the harvest.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 86}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Jobin and Tsurugi Wait for the Harvest===<br />
6 days, 3 hours, 25 minutes before the Harvest, [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] meets with the parents' association about an incident involving a girl having a gate slammed into her face, with [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] as the prime suspect. While she gets into a fierce argument and insults one of the mothers, [[Maako Kitani]], the camera recording also allows her to spot the head doctor being near the gates as the incident happened.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}</ref><br />
<br />
Mitsuba returns to her home and tries to talk to [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] about the incident, only causing a lengthy speech about the strength of the [[Higashikata Family]]. Puzzled, Mitsuba notices the head doctor Satoru Akefu standing near the edge of the estate ground. Trying to open the window, Mitsuba accidentally breaks her nail on the window frame and gets distracted, losing sight of the doctor. Reminiscing the findings of Josuke, Yasuho and Mamezuku, Mitsuba is confused as to why the head doctor would lurk near the estate. Asking Jobin for a band-aid, she then catches a glimpse of the new Locacaca tree hidden among cacti. Although Jobin acts unconcerned, he begins to have doubts about Mitsuba.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Ojiro's Return====<br />
The same day, Maako then meets with her boyfriend [[Ojiro Sasame]], who attacked Josuke and Yasuho from before, beginning to rant about her current worries such as Mitsuba's disrespect and her dream of acquiring the Higashikata's precious land. Mentioning the rumor about the healing soils around the [[Higashikata House]], Ojiro becomes highly interested and remembers about the Locacaca too.<br />
<br />
Ojiro stalks the Higashikata Family and confronts [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], explaining that he's done his research on the [[Locacaca Organization]] and finding [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]]'s involvement in the whole affair. Threatening to denounce him, Ojiro lets Tsurugi run back to the Higashikata House and tell Jobin. Jobin hastily checks on the Locacaca, but the two then realize that Tsurugi's hand is under the effect of [[Fun Fun Fun]]: he's been holding a mobile phone and has unwittingly leaked the Locacaca's location to Ojiro who is on the roof; in turn, Ojiro sends the information as well as the proofs of Jobin's crimes to Maako. Ojiro now plans to eat some of the Locacaca.<br />
<br />
By forcing Tsurugi into a window, shattering the glass, Ojiro then baits Jobin into putting his hands out of the window and marks them. Jobin is cornered and relinquishes the Locacaca to Ojiro, who asks the Higashikata to show his Stand. Swatting away Paper Moon King, Ojiro deems Speed King too dangerous. He thus forces Jobin to close the window on him, impaling his and Tsurugi's necks with glass shards. Sure of his victory, Ojiro steals some money from Jobin then takes the Locacaca and goes back to Maako's house. However, he suddenly realizes he's affected by Speed King's power, and eventually dies. Tsurugi has again tricked Ojiro into thinking the Higashikatas were dead and Jobin goes to retrieve the plants. He also assassinates Maako by affecting a phone and baiting Maako into answering his call, making her blood boil and causing her to fall into the pool and drown, where Ojiro is revealed to have suffered the same fate.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 86}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Disaster Strikes the Higashikatas====<br />
Back at the Higashikata's, [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] read on the newspapers that Josuke and Mamezuku are suspected of murder and becomes worried.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 89}}</ref><br />
<br />
As the day of the harvest approaches, Mitsuba begins to suspect that something is amiss as she learns about the victims of the preceding battles. Not only does she spot the head doctor suspiciously lurking near her house and is almost a victim of an improbable accident, her peace is broken as [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s [[Rock Disease]] goes out of control. [[Paper Moon King]] reacts and turns the boy's left half into a giant origami.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 91}}</ref><br />
<br />
===The Day of the Harvest===<br />
====At the TG University Hospital====<br />
Two days after his hospitalization, Josuke wakes up at the hospital. The lecture is about to begin but his mission is compromised when a policeman he's taken out falls onto his body, causing heavy damage.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 91}}</ref> Josuke finds himself in a desperate situation but thankfully, Holy wakes up and comes to save him, having sensed his arrival. As she drags him toward the gynecology department, room A2 where she was receiving the Locacaca treatment, Holy explains that her condition has worsened and that a mass of rock moving through her body threatens to put her into a coma regularly. Moreover, she explains that the [[Locacaca Research Organization]] has infiltrated the hospital for a long time, performing clinical trials through [[Tamaki Damo]]'s smuggling ring. At the same time, Satoru begins his lecture and unveils his new miracle medicine, the Locacaca 6251. Josuke and Holy reach room A2 and Holy manages to heal Josuke with some Locacaca 6251 as well before losing consciousness. Seeing his mother in this disastrous state, Josuke recovers and is more determined than ever to get his hands on the fruit.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 92}}</ref><br />
<br />
Josuke decides to revise his plans and instead of pursuing the head doctor head-on, has an unknown parcel delivered somewhere else and then patiently waits inside the hidden laboratory. Akefu receives the visit of [[Taoka|a journalist]] who has received Josuke's package: proofs that the hospital has been conducting illegal clinical trials on [[Holy Joestar-Kira]]. Akefu disposes of the journalist and heads towards the laboratory.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}</ref><br />
<br />
At the same time at the police station, [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] manages to work out that the head doctor he sees is the [[Stand]], whose power is fueled by the karma of those who witness it. He manages to sneak out of jail when his cellmate stabs himself, as he unravels his body and hides underneath his cellmate's clothes. An ambulance then brings the cellmate and Rai to the TG University Hospital.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 96}}</ref><br />
<br />
Mamezuku and Akefu roughly reach Josuke at the same time. Mamezuku reveals to Josuke that the Head Doctor isn't just a humanoid figure; he is also a [[Stand]]. Josuke has a plan but Akefu refrains from stepping inside of the room. Instead, he brings out a [[Rock Human|Rock Insect]] named [[Dododo De Dadada]] which attacks Josuke. Thanks to his bubbles preventing from touching anything, Josuke avoids being heavily wounded. Akefu dares Josuke to come at him, but Josuke points out that if Akefu had the new Locacaca, he wouldn't need to. Thus, Rai realizes that Akefu doesn't have the fruit. Meanwhile, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] comes out of the house with the Locacaca, intending to help [[Yasuho]].<br />
<br />
The pregnancy, birth, and early childhood development for Rock Humans are detailed. It is most notably revealed that the females can be impregnated by human males, and that their babies implant themselves in the bodies of several hornet queens and leech off of their nutrients until fully developed at 17 years old. At the end [[Lucy Steel]] is shown at both a [[Devil's Palm]] and [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh Town]], the latter with a [[Speedwagon Foundation]] suitcase in her possession. In another flashback, a young Mamezuku is present at his [[Mamezuku's Father|father's]] funeral where he is approached by Norisuke, who had come to pay his respects. Mamezuku tells Norisuke that he saw an insect (later revealed to be the same species as Dododo De Dadada) destroying their crops and warned his father, who then went out in a typhoon to check for himself, before he died in a landslide. Norisuke denies the possibility that any insect was on the orchard, even claiming to have checked himself. <br />
<br />
Mamezuku notices an attendee with white hair before realizing in the present that attendee was Akefu, who reveals his true identity: [[Wonder of U]]. Dododo De Dadada launches an attack on Josuke who brings out [[Soft & Wet]] to defend himself, but begins leaking a strange substance out of his eyes and mouth as a result of Dododo De Dadada's poisonous attack. Mamezuku uses [[Doggy Style]] to block the next attack and tells Josuke to stop moving, thus stopping the effects of the poison. At a moment of impass Wonder of U recalls Mamezuku's father's death, mentioning both the land they owned as well as how he was caught in the flow of a calamity, hinting he was responsible for his demise. Dododo De Dadada approaches a distracted Josuke and Mamezuku calls out to warn him. <br />
<br />
Josuke is unable to defend himself from Dododo's attack and his attempts to counterattacks are fruitless as he's handicapped by the asbestos gushing out of his body, including the eyes. As Dododo ambushes Josuke and attempts a finishing blow at his throat, Rai unravels himself. Crawling like a snake on the ceiling, Rai takes Dododo De Dadada by surprise and kills it by stabbing it with his fingertip. While Josuke recovers, Rai confronts [[Wonder of U]] and his fingertip is mere centimeters from its face. Nonetheless, Wonder of U keeps taunting Rai about his family and pushes him to attack. In doing so, Rai is gravely wounded by Josuke's trap : in truth, Josuke had laid several bubbles in the room but some of them were hidden and spinning at high speed. By letting Wonder of U come to him, Josuke had hoped to let these trapped bubble kill the enemy Stand but instead, by sheer unluck, these bubbles wounded Mamezuku instead. Worse, one of those bubbles just pierced through Mamezuku's head.<br />
<br />
Mamezuku collapses but declares that this fight is not over. Declaring that this "calamity" was instead "good fortune", Mamezuku decides to show a hidden aspect hidden within every [[Stand]] but of which nobody is aware of. Letting a bit of wire go down his finger, Mamezuku begins to [[spin]] the rope and explains to Josuke that his soap bubbles are actually soft, spinning lines. Opening his suit to reveal a gaping hole in his stomach, Mamezuku reveals the existence of the [[Spin]] to Josuke.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 98}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref><br />
<br />
====At the Higashikata House====<br />
Meanwhile, Yasuho has arrived at the Higashikata House and begins to infiltrate the house to find the new Locacaca. Jumping between electronic devices, Yasuho eventually finds a bedridden Tsurugi and tries to ask him the location of the branch. However, she is interrupted when Jobin grabs the mobile phone Paisley Park is hiding in and throws it in the toilet in an attempt to drown Yasuho. Worse, the phone's signal is cut off. Desperate, she grabs one of the cameras overlooking the property and films herself, which catches the attention of Mitsuba and makes her instinctively rush to Tsurugi's room. However, for the sake of Tsurugi's welfare, she decides to not rescue Yasuho when she suddenly sees Satoru Akefu standing near the house, realizing that bad luck always strikes when the head doctor is nearby. To finish her off, Mitsuba summons Awaking III Leaves, but misplaces one of her arrows, whose force is redirected into a wall, thus revealing Jobin's hidden Locacaca tree to the whole family.<br />
<br />
When [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] arrives at [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s bedroom, he immediately saves [[Paisley Park]] from drowning and demands to know what is happening. Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side, but Norisuke summons [[King Nothing]], which investigates the new [[Locacaca]]. It materializes [[Ojiro Sasame]], showing Norisuke that Jobin is connected to his death. Overwhelmed by the pressure, Jobin resorts to induce a heat stroke in Norisuke with [[Speed King]]. He cries at his action but quickly recomposes himself to lead the [[Higashikata Family]]. However, [[Paisley Park]] has managed to join [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] in the confusion while [[Satoru Akefu]] still lurks near the house.<br />
<br />
Yasuho calls [[Tooru]] and asks for his help. Interested when she mentions a way to heal her, Tooru drives towards the Higashikata House. In the house itself, Jobin tells his siblings to put the unconscious Norisuke to the second floor and the [[Locacaca]] in another hiding spot. Mitsuba then sees the head doctor, who keeps approaching in impossible ways such as going from a corridor to a computer screen, then passing across the bathroom and then under the bedsheets. Mitsuba warns Jobin about the head doctor and, also realizing the nature of the enemy's ability, warns him to not go after him. However, Jobin has summoned Speed King and attacks the doctor under the bedsheets. The head doctor seemingly disappears, but a string of disasters end in Jobin being drained of his blood, swiftly dying in the process. He collapses and the Locacaca pot rolls towards the garage. It is shown that Tooru has arrived but instead of helping Yasuho, he sits and waits for events to unfold. Suddenly, Joshu bursts out of the house, with the Locacaca in his hand. He declares that he will save Yasuho.<br />
<br />
[[Joshu Higashikata]] has brought the new [[Locacaca]] to Yasuho and declares that he'll save her. Despite Yasuho's misgivings, the Locacaca seems to be her only way to save herself. Yasuho explains to Joshu how the [[Equivalent Exchange]] works, but he loses himself in his own fantasies about the exchange and push himself onto a dismayed Yasuho. At the same time, Tooru decides to allow the exchange to happen in order to confirm the fruit's power. He makes several faint noises while hiding in the thicket, and this makes Yasuho realize that Tooru must be the enemy [[Stand]] User, as he's been near her since the beginning of the heroes' chase after [[Satoru Akefu]]. Yasuho performs an equivalent exchange with Joshu, and heals her arm.<br />
<br />
A flashback reveals that [[Tooru]] had already met [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] when she was a little girl. At the time, she helped him find an identity to impersonate: Satoru Akefu. In the now, Yasuho talks to Tooru, who prefers to remain hidden. In truth, Tooru wants Yasuho to leave and be safe from his power, but Yasuho refuses and takes [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]]'s mobile phone to make a call. For his part, Joshu becomes mad and demands that Yasuho give him back his arm. Yasuho refuses and Joshu attacks her. At the same time, Yasuho manages to reach [[Kei Nijimura]] and ask her to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 93}} to {{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref><br />
<br />
===The Invisible Soap Bubble===<br />
The narration ominously mentions that a failure on a plane in the skies of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] has caused a panel from the plane to drop towards the town. At the Higashikata estate, [[Joshu]] trips and falls on the ground, allowing [[Yasuho]] to continue her call. She explains the situation to [[Kei Nijimura|Kei]] and warns her about the enemy's calamity power. In the lab, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] tries to bait [[Wonder of U]] closer by trying to destroy the supply of Locacaca6251. However, the head doctor's calamity power works against him. Despite his effort, Josuke cannot harm the enemy Stand and ironically impales himself on the wreckage of the vault. However, [[Born This Way]] suddenly intervenes as Kei enters the room. Its chilling wind freezes the bubbles and blow them towards Wonder of U, who is slightly wounded on the head. Wonder of U thus realizes that there is indeed a hidden potential within [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles.<br />
<br />
The successful attacks on Wonder of U comes at the cost of its broken cane lodging itself in Kei's eye. She collapses but Josuke is able to pick up her phone to contact Yasuho. Yasuho tells Josuke everything about Tooru, while Tooru decides to make Wonder of U retreat and comes out of the trees to confront her. Tooru tells Yasuho to give him the Locacaca to prevent it from being destroyed in the incoming calamity that will befall her. Joshu tries to defend her, to no avail, and he trips on Yasuho, which allows Tooru to take the Locacaca. Seeing something big falling towards her, Yasuho tells Josuke about it, forcing him to chase Wonder of U again. Reminiscing Mamezuku's words about the hidden power in his bubbles, Josuke shoots a single bubble towards Wonder of U. Suddenly, a sphere comes out of his [[Joestar Birthmark]].<br />

{{Quote|The guard rail... It's a new type of creature and most likely an animal! Something like a snake... or a guard dog...!|[[Lucy Steel]]|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Radio Gaga'''|ラヂオ・ガガ|Rajio Gaga}} is a [[:Category:Tertiary Antagonist|tertiary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]'', specifically the "{{SA|JJL20}}" story arc.<br />
<br />
It is a rock creature who preys on [[Lucy Steel]] and [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Joseph Joestar]] during their investigation of the Radio Gaga Incident.<ref name="JJL109">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 109}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Guard Rail Appearance.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Radio Gaga is a long snake-like creature that is either disguised as a guard rail or resembles one. According to Joseph, the creature's skin is hard and dry.<ref name="JJL110">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}</ref> It has eyes resembling screws, with a thin slit in between them.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Radio Gaga is malevolent, as it uses the bodies of its victims to mimic human voices to lure other victims into its reach. It's also shown reprimanding Lucy and Joseph for abandoning their seemingly dead driver, calling them low-lives and their actions inhumane. Lucy compares the creature to be similar to a snake or guard dog.<ref name="JJL110" /> The creature is shown to have a cowardly side, as it decides to flee after being beaten up by Joseph Joestar and his Stand.<br />
<br />
Despite having the ability to speak humanly with bodies of its victims, the creature itself makes rather unintelligible sounds, more commonly {{nihongo|"ga ga"|ガガ}}.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Luring===<br />
[[File:Guard Rail Luring.jpg|thumb|left|Mimicking a human voice]]<br />
[[File:Guard Rail Body Manipulation.png|thumb|right|Manipulating the driver's body {{Nsfw}}]]<br />
Gaga is capable of luring in potential victims by mimicking human voices. Any individual who is lured near the guard rail seems to act strange, such as muttering "ga ga" or taking off their clothes. Once the victim is near it, Gaga then inhales them between the steel plates and crushes them.<br />
<br />
===Body Manipulation===<br />
Gaga is capable of controlling the bodies of its crushed victims. The bodies are noted to be barely kept alive.<ref name="JJL110" /> The controlled body is seemingly held by its intestines that stick out from the guard rail's gaps where it crushes its victims. From this, Gaga can mimic human voices. It also uses the body-puppet to extend its grasp and drag in potential victims.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Its origin unknown, Radio Gaga preyed on victims in the town of Morioh. At some point, the creature was responsible for the disappearance of a woman, having lured and devoured her, though it's implied that it claimed more lives. The disappearance of the woman was dubbed "The Radio Gaga Incident", making the spot it inhabited famous.<ref name="JJL109" /><br />
<br />
===[[The Radio Gaga Incident (story arc)|1941]]===<br />
[[File:Lucy Guardrail.png|thumb|right|Attempting to snatch Lucy]]<br />
During her time in Morioh, [[Lucy Steel]] investigates the location of the orchard where the creature lies, and encounters a young man named [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Fumi]]. She hires Fumi as a local guide to the orchard, despite his warnings. As they investigate the Morioh Hunting Grounds, Radio Gaga mimics a human voice to lure in their [[Lucy's Driver|driver]]. Lucy and Joseph watch as the driver walks towards it and strips himself naked. Then, as a truck passes by, the creature swiftly snatches the driver and crushes him between its plates.<br />
<br />
Next, Gaga lures Lucy towards it. It then snatches Lucy's shirt and tries to pull her in. However, Joseph intervenes, throwing his geta between Gaga's plates to prevent it from crushing Lucy's arm, and then pulling her out. Joseph then carries Lucy, who is suffering from a lung disease, to the driver's car.<br />
<br />
However, Gaga uses the driver's body as a puppet and grabs Lucy by the neck. Via the corpse, the creature reprimands Lucy and Joseph for leaving their driver behind. Joseph tries punching the body-puppet away, but the guard rail creature ensnares him by the neck and tries to drag him in. However, Joseph throws his geta sandal at the car trunk and grabs an electrical cord. He then unleashes his [[Stand]] {{UNS|Joseph Joestar's Stand|ability}} and produces vines around the cord to turn the car to ignition. Then Joseph makes the car run forward and ram into the guard rail. Gaga now vulnerable, Joseph uses his Stand to pummel it, causing it to break off. Joseph and Lucy then flee.<ref name="JJL110" /> On the ground and now frightened, Gaga decides to retreat and slithers away into the tall grass.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Prior to meeting [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] and obtaining a [[Stand]], Rikiel suffered from what seemed to be constant panic attacks: his eyelids constantly fell and his knees gave out. He would attempt to take exams in school, only to suffer from his conditions, which caused him to stop attending school. These conditions were so severe that he wasn't even able to drive a car, and this dramatically decreased his self-confidence.<br />
<br />
===Stone Ocean===<br />
[[File:rikiel awakens sky high.png|thumb|Pucci helps awaken Rikiel's ability]]<br />
[[Fate]] pushed him into meeting the priest in Orlando when, after driving against the traffic and colliding with the dividing rail, he was brought to the hospital and crossed paths with Pucci. Rikiel learns from Pucci that he is a son of [[Dio Brando|DIO]]. He begs [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] to open his eyelid, which closes for no apparent reason. Rikiel then begins to lament his whole life, which was ruined by his lack of confidence and his strange illnesses. Pucci listens, then tells Rikiel to think of his lineage, stating that he has a purpose in life and uncovers his ability to [[Sky High|control organisms named skyfishes]], or rods. This allows Rikiel to regain control of his eye and a confident Rikiel leaves the hospital to attack the [[Joestar Group]].<br />
<br />
[[File:rikiel determined to fight.png|thumb|left|To thank Pucci, Rikiel fights the heroes]]<br />
Rikiel finds [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] and [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] flying above the swamps and sics his rods on their helicopter, forcing their eyes to shut. They are forced to jump out of the helicopter and Rikiel confronts them. Jolyne and Ermes approach Rikiel, ready to fight, although Rikiel knows it will be to his advantage. However Jolyne and Ermes work out quickly why Rikiel is trying to lure them closer, and discover one of his weaknesses. Disturbed, Rikiel's bad luck begins to reappear as his bike is sinking in the mud and the loses his keys. Ermes uses [[Kiss]] to throw pebbles at Rikiel, but the skyfishes deviate them. However, those pebbles where doubles Kiss created and Ermes manages to hit Rikiel's head from two sides as she detaches the stickers. Overwhelmed by the multiple rocks Jolyne and Ermes throw at him, Rikiel begins to lose his confidence: his illnesses come back and the skyfishes stay still in the air, deprived of their master. Yet, Rikiel finds his keys, and manages to control the rods again, stopping Ermes from throwing any more rocks by manipulating her hands indirectly. Confident again, Rikiel rants about Apollo 11's symbol as a triumph of the human spirit and inflicts new ailments on the heroes. Rikiel's attack cause [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] to urinate blood while [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]]'s fingers are falling off. [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] rushes toward Rikiel trying to punch the skyfishes, but they effortlessly avoid [[Stone Free]]'s strikes. Jolyne's ankle joint suddenly bends backward, immobilizing her. Rikiel then begins to toy with Ermes, forcing her to say thanks to the skyfishes. However, Emporio deduces that the skyfishes are able to suck off body heat, causing illnesses and controlling the muscles from the outside that way. Rikiel takes Emporio and Ermes out of commission, making their eyes and throat swell while damaged tissues is spat out of their mouths. Rikiel plans to attack Jolyne's brain stem where a temperature loss will be fatal. <br />
<br />
[[File:jolyne vs rikiel.png|thumb|Rikiel & Jolyne exchange attacks, although Rikiel loses]]<br />
A swarm of skyfishes rush toward Jolyne's first vertebrae, but Jolyne decides to set herself on fire, protecting the brain stem from the heat sucking rods. [[Stone Free]] lands a punch, sending Rikiel against his motorcycle, but also revealing Rikiel's [[Joestar Birthmark]], to everyone's astonishment. Planning to interrogate Rikiel later, Jolyne runs forward to finish off the enemy, but Rikiel douses himself with gas, and sets himself on fire too. Out of sheer resolve, and determined to find a weakness, Rikiel stands in front of Jolyne as his body is burning. Rikiel's new condition allows him to see a new weakness, he sends his rods into Jolyne's mouth, targeting the hypothalamus near the inside of the upper jaw to disrupt the eye perception and cause afterimages. That way, he is able to induce hallucinations in Jolyne and avoids her attacks for a moment. However Jolyne decides to shut her mouth and simply stop breathing, trusting the mystic sense of the [[Joestar Family]] to detect Rikiel, and lands a kick.[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], still on fire, has managed to strike Rikiel thanks to her determination. [[Stone Free]] violently pummels Rikiel but surprisingly, Rikiel catches Jolyne by her neck. Rikiel declares that he will be the most determined in this fight and severed his own nerves to not feel pain, meaning he won't fall until he dies; planning to finish with a draw and have both dying, Rikiel lashes out the skyfishes into Jolyne's neck, which is not in fire anymore. Jolyne continues to pummel Rikiel as the rods suck her body heat, and both collapse. The rods, without their master, now leave in the sky.<br />
<br />
Rikiel slowly stands up, but feels defeated, having seen that his hand protected Jolyne's neck. Jolyne stands up too, while Rikiel finally falls to the ground for good. She reveals that she couldn't calculate that Rikiel's hand would shield her, and she won out of luck. Rikiel questions that dumb luck favored Jolyne, and also feels fulfilled for having gone beyond his limits. Rikiel announces that Jolyne will play a role serving [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]]'s goal, as she is favored by destiny. Rikiel then reveals that [[Weather Report|Weather]] is Pucci's younger brother, but is interrupted when [[Kiss]] puts him out of commission and [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] refuses to believe that Weather is linked to Pucci, violently punching his head against the ground. The skyfish leave Rikiel's side.<br />

{{Quote|The hooks come out from where you touch! That's the job of the ''''bait''''! You can't do anything else!|[[Pork Pie Hat Kid]]|{{Ch|SBR Chapter 27}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Wired'''|ワイアード|Waiādo}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]], featured in ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''. It manifests as a pair of hooked cables that the Pork Pie Hat Kid can manipulate.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Wired takes the form of a winch and two hooked cables inside the user, [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]]'s mouth. When they're not active, Wired's hooks rest on Pork Pie Hat Kid's tongue.<br />

|{{Palette|Hook and cables|#D7D8E1|desc=Silver}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Wired's peculiar ability enables the Pork Pie Hat Kid to ambush victims from far away, and the hooks possess enough speed to act faster than the eye can see<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 25}}</ref> and enough strength to tear someone apart, making it a rather powerful Stand.<br />
<br />
===Tongue Hooks===<br />
The Pork Pie Hat Kid can "send" his two hooks attached to two strong metal cables through a pan of water.<br />
<br />
The water functions like a portal through which the Pork Pie Hat Kid can observe a limited zone as if peeking from above and if he places an object on the surface, he can send his hooks through said object who will come out of another object of the same kind to pull victims. For instance he can use a bird's feather's to make hooks appear on the underside of the feathers.<ref name=":1">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 26}}</ref> Pork Pie Hat Kid can also send anything through the object regardless of size, even a horse.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 27}}</ref><br />
<br />
Wired's hooks are strong enough to lift a full-grown man and even a horse and may even pull them while leaving items they may carry; the hooks are also fast enough to pull someone faster than they can react, so a distracted [[Johnny]] didn't notice [[Gyro]] being abducted.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
There are a few limitations to Wired. First, the water surface Pork Pie Hat Kid uses is small and only offers a limited view of his target, thus he can be fooled into making mistakes.<ref name=":1" /> Moreover, anyone can use the objects as portals as well, which allowed Johnny to shoot through several feathers to hurt the User.<ref name=":2" /><br />

{{Quote|'''Soft & Wet'''... When my soap bubble touches something and breaks, I take something from there.|[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 4}}}}<br />
<br />
{{nihongo|'''Soft & Wet'''|ソフト&ウェット|Sofuto Ando Wetto}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]], originally belonging to [[Josefumi Kujo]], featured in the eighth part of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. It is a humanoid Stand with a mechanical and sailing theme to its appearance. It can create bubbles that will steal properties and objects.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
<br />
[[File:S&WFull.png|alt= Soft & Wet's initial appearance shown in full|borderless|left|frameless|200px]]<br />
Soft & Wet is a humanoid Stand of a streamlined, robotic form, light in color, and similar in height to Josuke.<br />
<br />
On the top of its head is a five-pointed star bound with a circle. Horns roughly two-thirds the width of its head grow from the region of the ears, shaped as tapering pentagrammic prisms. It has round eyes, shaped as slotted screw heads; vertically dividing very small, slight, round pupils. Its face has a thick gap running from the top of the forehead past the bottom of the chin. <br />
<br />
The front of two broad plates covering its torso is cut like its face in the shape of a large anchor; as well as in a line beneath both arms and between the base of its back and shoulders.<br />
<br />
Its feet and hands are covered with plating, as are the sides of its hips and shoulders, both of which are shaped like sharp hearts and bear a five-pointed star. It has fine arms and legs, with dark, exposed ball-and-socket joints supported by short exterior cables. Its pelvis is bare and mechanical. The gaps in its plating reveal a deeper surface, covered in a fine pattern of horizontal ridges. An internal structure is visible at its profile, showing blocks approximating human centers of mass.<br />
<br />
The design was created to match up with Josuke's outfit, rather than its ability. [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] imagined a sailor's uniform combined with the flotation devices in a life vest.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - [[JOJOVELLER/Commentaries|Comments by Hirohiko Araki]]''</ref> In later chapters, its torso takes on a more 'heart-like' shape. It also gains a circular jewel under its neck, and its shoulder pads become triangular, jutting out of its shoulders perpendicularly. Its ears have also grown a bit longer since it first appeared.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><br />
<br />
Soft & Wet is white and purple in the [[JOJO-D|colored manga]], but, is yellow and green in the video games adaptation of the series featuring it.<br />
<br />
Josefumi's bubbles were initially featureless. After his fusion with [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Kira]], Josuke's bubbles now bear a five-pointed star, similar to Kira's bubbles, and appear to be a sort of fusion between two bubbles of different sizes.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
Soft & Wet's [[Stand Cry|Stand cry]] is "ORA ORA ORA ORA" similar to other members of the [[Joestar Family|Joestar family]], however every so often an "ORA" is switched to an "ARA". This could be the consequences of the fusion of Kira and Josefumi, being corrupted and altered.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Soft & Wet is a humanoid close-range Stand. It possesses enhanced strength, demonstrated first when it breaks a large portion of an apartment wall with a single back kick, and is also capable of extremely rapid hand-to-hand combat. The extent of the damage it can inflict is limited, however, as it is unable to break rocks.<br />
<br />
Its strength in melee exchanges compared to other Stands has been further demonstrated in the brief encounter with [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]]'s Stand, [[I Am a Rock]]. Despite its volley of fast-paced strikes, Soft & Wet easily avoided and overcame it with a single 'Ora'-articulated strike.<ref name="JJLC32">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 32}}</ref> <br />
<br />
When its user [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|transforms into a different person]] as a result of undergoing equivalent exchange, Soft & Wet is granted additional abilities as a result.<br />
<br />
===Pre-Equivalent Exchange===<br />
<br />
====Bubble Generation====<br />
[[File:S&WBubble74.PNG|thumb|Josuke encasing himself in a giant bubble]]<br />
Soft & Wet generates star-embedded floating bubbles, which must make contact with its target to work effectively. However, Josuke can control where the bubbles can fly, allowing him to send them where they are needed. The bubbles are actually comprised of tiny cords vibrating at super-high speeds, giving them the appearance of spheres.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 70}}</ref><br />
<br />
Josuke often takes direct advantage of his bubbles and their properties. The bubbles have lifting power, allowing Josuke to envelop others like [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] in a giant bubble and lift them in the air,<ref name="JJLC31">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 31}}</ref> as well as help him reach vantage points. Josuke has also enveloped himself and allies with giant bubbles to take advantage of their situational protection. <br />
<br />
In addition to this, Soft & Wet is able to create bubbles utilizing existing substances, as demonstrated when it creates a shield from a bottle of water during Josuke's pursuit by [[Blue Hawaii]]. <br />
<br />
As the story has progressed, Josuke has developed this ability. Early in the story, he would often use one bubble, but later on, is shown conjuring dozens upon dozens with a quick flurry of strikes.<br />
<br />
====Plunder====<br />
Soft & Wet's signature ability is to temporarily take away physical things such as one's sense of sound or sight by using its bubbles.<ref name="JJL7">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 7}}</ref> Josuke can thus steal aspects or properties of inanimate and living things. Said properties seem to also be smaller objects that come from a bigger object. Soft and Wet can also transfer stolen properties to other objects. Properties Josuke has plundered include:<br />
<br />
*A human's sight: After bursting near [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu's]] eyes, Josuke's bubble completely blinds Joshu for a few seconds, making it appear that Joshu's eyes have popped.<ref name="JJLC1">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}</ref><br />
*The water contained in a human's body: With one bubble, Josuke covertly punctures several ~5mm holes in a woman's body in order to quickly drain her of water and provoke thirst.<ref name="JJLC2">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}</ref><br />
*Sound: Josuke steals the sound from a wall or a light switch, preventing any noise that would have been caused upon breaking it or turning it off.<ref name="CKB">''[[California King Bed (story arc)]]''</ref><br />
*His own facial hair: Josuke uses Soft & Wet while shaving his face when [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] and [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] are in the bathroom as well. Soft & Wet's bubbles in the shaving foam pop onto Hato and Joshu's faces, planting Josuke's hair onto their faces instead.<ref name="JJLC11">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 11}}, p. 12-13</ref><br />
*A cat's fur: Seemingly without pain, Josuke removes the majority of a live cat's fur and relocates it, in the shape of a cat, in order to obscure the view of a security camera.<ref name="JJLC12">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}</ref><br />
*Friction: Josuke removes the friction from a floor, creating an ice-like slippery surface.<ref name="JJLC5">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 5}}</ref><br />
*Smell: Josuke traps an odor and various into a bubble and has it attached to his foe [[Born This Way]]. When the bubble bursts, he can track down the Stand's user by smell and sound.<ref name="JJLC16">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 16}}</ref><br />
*Small objects: Josuke when fighting the [[A. Phex Brothers]] filled his bubbles with screws and nuts to fire out upon bursting.<ref name="LLD">''[[Love Love Deluxe (story arc)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
The stolen objects can stay in the bubble and are still able to bust later (as shown with the bubble with the sound of the light switch).<ref name="CKB" /> The exact quantity and type of object Josuke may steal, how long he may keep them, and how it is redistributed is currently undefined. According to Josuke, Soft & Wet's ability cannot be applied to himself.<ref name="JJLC5" /><br />
<br />
While [[Josefumi Kujo]] was in control of Soft & Wet, this ability was described as "'''absorption'''". As a Stand user, Josefumi was experienced enough to utilize his ability with extreme levels of precision. For example, Josefumi was able to use Soft & Wet at precisely enough to seamlessly graft a loose branch onto a different plant, an ability which he and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] attempted to use for the cultivation of [[Locacaca]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p. 30</ref> Josefumi was also shown using his soap bubbles to remove excess amounts of black pepper from his bowl of ramen.<br />
<br />
===Post-Equivalent Exchange===<br />
[[File:GappyFusedBubble.png|thumb|264px|Josuke's Soft & Wet produces bubbles that are a hybrid of Josefumi and Kira's abilities]]<br />
In addition to its aforementioned abilities, Soft & Wet's gains properties after its original user undergoes equivalent exchange with the late Yoshikage Kira. Josuke's Soft & Wet is able to create bubbles which are a hybrid of its own and the explosive bubbles of [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]], which are divided down the center with a visible seam connecting both halves. This lead to a change in Soft & Wet's ability, adopting properties of Kira's ability.<br />
<br />
====Bomb Creation====<br />
<br />
As a result of their hybrid nature, Soft & Wet's bubbles retain some aspects of [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]'s bubble-generation ability. These bubbles are able to pop with enough force to cause damage at close range, as seen when Josuke uses one to shatter [[Tamaki Damo]]'s sunglasses. Josuke can also use this force to propel any small objects stored inside of his bubbles, seemingly with a degree of control over the direction they fly in. In addition to this, Josuke is able to injure opponents by popping bubbles which have been embedded under their skin, an ability that one of the [[A. Phex Brothers]] remarked bears a striking resemblance to the late Kira's own technique. <br />
<br />
[[File:GappyFirstBomb.png|thumb|left|An explosive bubble]]<br />
During the fight against [[Urban Guerrilla]] and his [[Doremifasolati Do|pet]], Josuke seemingly detonates bubbles he had previously buried underground.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 68}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the fight against [[Satoru Akefu]] and [[Dododo De Dadada]], Josuke detonates bubbles on top of a desk, blowing everything off of it and causing a visible explosion.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}}</ref><br />

===Soft & Wet: Go Beyond===<br />
{{Spoiler|8}}<br />
{{Quote|There are "things you can't see", Josuke... they're different from the visible soap bubbles at your fingertips. They're something that does not "exist" in this world, but the fact that they don't "exist" means that they can go beyond reason!|Rai Mamezuku|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}<br />

In reality, Soft & Wet's soap bubbles are infinitesimally thin lines that spin rapidly. [[Rai Mamezuku]] describes this as part of the [[Spin]]. Upon learning of the actual mechanic behind his Stand's ability, Josuke gains a new power, which he dubs "Soft & Wet: Go Beyond". The rapidly spinning bubbles created using this technique extend from Josuke's [[Joestar Birthmark|birthmark]], and are described as being uncontrollable and impossible to aim without assistance.<br />
<br />
As summarized by Mamezuku, the fusion of Josefumi's Soft & Wet's soap bubbles with the ''explosive'' bubbles of Kira's Killer Queen has given Josuke the ability to generate ''invisible'' bubbles which utilize an {{nihongo|"Explosive Spin"|爆発的な回転|Bakuhatsu-tekina Kaiten|lit. "Explosive Rotation"}} to move at extremely high speeds. This speed combined with the near-infinite thinness of Soft & Wet's lines (which Mamezuku describes as being "infinitely close to zero") gives Go Beyond properties that transcend the limits of ordinary physics. According to Mamezuku, these bubbles "don't exist in this world."<br />
<br />
Go Beyond's bubbles can phase into and cross through any barrier.<ref name="JJL105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> This is first noted by Mamezuku when an invisible bubble manages to clip into a wall without damaging it. It is later shown to greater effect when a bubble created using Go Beyond bridges the distance between T.G. University Hospital and the Higashikata Estate by entering [[Paisley Park]]'s domain, albeit with the help of Yasuho Hirose. Upon hitting Tooru, one of Go Beyond's bubbles even appears to phase through his skin, similar to an application of [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]'s ability which had been a core element of Kira's fighting style.<br />
<br />
In addition to this, Go Beyond is not subject to the laws of [[calamity]]. These bubbles are theoretically nonexistent, so directing them toward Wonder of U or its user is not seen as an act of pursuit and doesn't trigger Wonder of U's ability.<br />
<br />
At one point, Mamezuku also states that these bubbles can overcome the [[Rock Disease|Higashikata family curse]] and Holy Joestar-Kira's curse,<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> though the exact mechanics behind this are not shown.<br />
<br />
Due to the extreme speed at which Go Beyond's bubbles can spin, they can be used as projectiles to devastating effect. Upon making contact with a target, Go Beyond can instantly erode whatever part of their body it touches. In addition to this, Go Beyond's bubbles can burst with an extreme amount of force; a direct hit on Tooru was able to launch him a great distance into the air. <br />
<br />
Go Beyond was originally used subconsciously by Josuke. He managed to unknowingly produce an invisible bubble from his birthmark while charging up a high-velocity soap bubble to launch at Wonder of U. Upon learning of the invisible bubble's presence, Josuke demonstrated the ability to create one at will. However, he is incapable of controlling or aiming them after they are created. Thus far, the only workaround to this limit has come in the form of a combined attack with [[Yasuho Hirose]], where she aims Go Beyond by using Paisley Park to guide the invisible bubble through the cellphone that Josuke is holding and out of one in her hand, which she points at the attack's target.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:EarlySW 01.png|138x138px|thumb]] [[File:EarlySW 02.png|139x139px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
*The Stand's name is sometimes written in Japanese as {{nihongo||柔らかくてそして濡れている|Yawarakakute Soshite Nureteiru|literally "soft and wet"}}. Similarly, its "Go Beyond" ability gets named in Japanese as {{nihongo||越えて行く|Koete Iku|literally "go over" or "go beyond"}}.<br />
*Prior to its full reveal in [[JJL Chapter 4]], a scrapped early design appeared in promotional artwork drawn by Araki. This version had smaller "ears" with narrow slits on them, holes on its face, and in one instance even a visible nose.<br />
*Originally, Soft & Wet was planned to have the ability to attach screws to things, but the ability was ultimately given to [[Nut King Call]] instead.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER/Commentaries|JOJOVELLER Mini - Stand Comments]]</ref><br />
*Its [[Stand Cry]] is originally "ORA ORA ARA ORA" when it first does a punch rush against [[Ojiro Sasame]].<ref name="JJLC5">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 5}}</ref> However, it becomes a regular "ORA ORA ORA" in every fight afterwards.<br />
*[[Hirohiko Araki]] believes that there are infinite possibilities that can come of a spherical shape like a bubble, considering it to be a very important aspect of JoJo and a contrast to an "unbeatable weapon" common in other shonen. He equipped [[Caesar Zeppeli]] with bubbles as they are weapons with faults, and it was fun to write them having to cover for them through strategy, dealing with the different merits and demerits that each of them have. [[Gyro Zeppeli]] and Josuke inherit these spheres, and his stance on that hasn't changed from when he originally drew Caesar.<ref name="JoJonium">[[JoJonium/Special Interviews#Volume 6 (Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli)|JoJonium Volume 6 - Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli Special Interview]]</ref><br />
*The fifth volume of ''JoJolion'' mentions that Araki loves drawing Soft & Wet's ears.<br />

{{Quote|No other creature on Earth has better kinetic vision than '''Scary Monsters'''!|[[Diego Brando]]|{{Ch|SBR Chapter 39}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Scary Monsters'''|スケアリー・モンスターズ|Sukearī Monsutāzu}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Dr. Ferdinand]] and [[Diego Brando]], featured in the seventh part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''. It is an ability that allows its user to turn others or themselves into dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
Originally belonging to Dr. Ferdinand, he forcibly turns Diego into a dinosaur. However, Diego consequently develops his own version of the Stand by stealing the [[Saint Corpse Parts|Saint's Left Eye]].<ref name="SBR31">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 31}}</ref><ref name="JOJOVELLER">{{JJV|Scary Monsters}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
It has no form of its own as it is an {{ST|Integrated|integrated Stand}}, but it can transform the bodies of others. Scary Monsters transforms Diego into a ''{{W|Utahraptor}}''. He gains stripes spelling out "[[DIO]]" all over his body and his hair turns into spikes that end in round, ball-shaped tips on the back of his head. Traces of his checkered shirt are still visible on his chest.<br />
<br />
After being under the influence of the Stand for a while, Diego is able to morph into a hybrid humanoid form while still retaining sharp teeth, claws, dinosaur legs, and a tail, with a deranged expression on his face.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Scary Monsters deploys the might and agility of the ancient dinosaurs in various ways, and can also take control of people through simple contact, making facing it a dangerous endeavor.<br />
<br />
===Dinosaur Infection===<br />
[[File:SM Gyro gets scratched.png|260px|thumb|Gyro's scratch from Diego slowly turns him into a dinosaur]]<br />
Scary Monsters' main ability is to infect other living beings with a virus which transforms them into dinosaurs,<ref name="SBR28">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 28}}</ref> but also allows the user to control them.<ref name="SBR31" /><br />
<br />
The User needs only to touch a victim to begin the transformation, for instance, Diego grazing the horsehair of his [[List of Horses in Steel Ball Run#Silver Bullet|Silver Bullet]] to transform the fleas into small dinosaurs.<ref name="SBR39">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 39}}</ref> Likewise, the dinosaurs may infect others with the virus by biting or scratching them.<ref name="SBR30">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 30}}</ref> However, should the user be severely injured, their power will disappear and all dinosaurs will revert to their original forms.<ref name="SBR31" /><br />
<br />
The transformation is portrayed inconsistently, Diego's first transformation being gradual<ref name="SBR28" /> while subsequent ones are instantaneous.<ref name="SBR38">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 38}}</ref> Scary Monsters seems to have no limits in terms of range or number of individuals infected, as it is able to transform a whole village of humans into a group of dinosaurs.<ref name="SBR30" /> It is also free to create any type of dinosaur, from raptors,<ref name="SBR29">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 29}}</ref> to T-Rex,<ref name="SBR29" /> to much smaller dinosaurs.<ref name="SBR30" /><br />
<br />
The original user, Dr. Ferdinand, would exploit his power to transform others, using them to either travel (by riding or hiding inside them<ref name="SBR31" />) or fight for him. Diego typically uses this ability to create armies of miniature carnivorous hybrids out of birds, rats or fleas<ref name="SBR39" /> or turn his own horse into a dinosaur<ref name="SBRC68"/> for support while he personally fights the enemy.<br />
<br />
===Dinosaur Morph===<br />
<br />
[[File:Dino Brando.png|thumb|left|Diego turns into a dinosaur]]<br />
Unlike Ferdinand, Diego is capable of changing his own body into a dinosaur, either completely or as a hybrid of the two.<ref name="SBR38" /> Being bound to Diego's body, Scary Monsters allows him to fight against other Stands and physically damage them with his bare hands.<br />
<br />
By partially transforming, Diego can use the enhanced senses and strengths of a dinosaur. He possesses increased stamina, strength, and speed, enough to compete with [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]].<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 75}}</ref> Moreover, transforming into a dinosaur grants him vision based on movement: the faster something moves, the better Diego can perceive it and thus the better he can avoid it. But as a result, he becomes vulnerable to slow attacks.<ref name="SBR29" /><br />
<br />
During [[Steel Ball Run (race)|the race]], Diego uses his sense to gauge his surroundings and deduce the optimal route for his horse.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 32}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Fossilization===<br />
<br />
Introduced later in the story, Diego demonstrates the ability to alter beings transformed by his Stand into a hardened dormant state much like a fossil. The ability can be used a variety of ways, from fusing a being into a structure like a rock or a tree as a camouflage<ref name="SBRC67">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 67}}</ref> to shaping the fossilized being into something more creative like candle holders.<ref name="SBRC68">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 68}}</ref><br />

{{Quote|That [[Higashikata Family]] knows something.|Kei Nijimura|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 17}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Kei Nijimura'''|虹村 京|Nijimura Kei}}, also known as {{Nihongo|'''Kei Kira'''|吉良 京|Kira Kei}}, is a [[:Category:Secondary Allies|secondary ally]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Appearing as an antagonist in the "[["Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)|Paisley Park and Born This Way]]" story arc, she then becomes an ally in "[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
Kei is the [[Higashikata Family]] household's housekeeper. She is eventually revealed to be the daughter of [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and thus [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]'s younger sister. Kei is a [[Stand]] User who wields the autonomous, chilling Stand, [[Born This Way]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Kei is a young woman with long, black hair which is normally tied in a bun with the exception of her meeting with Josuke with her hair down. She wears a maid's uniform consisting of a black blouse, a white apron decorated with two pins that resemble lightning bolts and the letters G and U on each pin, and a pantyhose patterned with stars. And on her head, she wears a chin-strapped black hat also decorated with the letters G and U. Her shoes were designed with a bow-knot.<br />
<br />
When confronted by Josuke, it is revealed that she bears a [[Joestar Birthmark|star-shaped birthmark]] near her left shoulder.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:Nijimura_maid.png|thumb|left|Kei as an emotionless maid]]<br />
Kei typically performs all the duties expected of a maid and shows no emotion whatsoever. It is eventually revealed her emotionless demeanor is a façade when Josuke asks her if she attacked him on the Higashikatas' orders. Kei reacts harshly to this, showing that she hates the Higashikatas, calling them "the goddamn Higashikatas". She also threatens to kill Josuke if he approaches Holy because she is revealed to be Holy's daughter, shedding tears and becoming more emotional.<ref name="JJLC16P21,23">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 16}}, p.21, 23</ref><br />
<br />
After Josuke finally gives into her demands, she breaks down and reveals that they knew each other in the past, and she is surprised that he has really lost all of his memories. She also points out the seams in his halved eyeballs and tongue.<ref name="JJLC16P28-29">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 16}}, p.28-29</ref><br />
<br />
Kei's great love for her mother is shown again when she cares for the comatose Holy at [[TG University Hospital]], cleaning her up and referring to her as "mama" as she does so.<ref name="JJLCh102p35">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}, p.35</ref><br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:Kid Kei.png|thumb|left|Kei as a child]]<br />
Kei is born from the union between [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and [[Yoshiteru Kira]], and she is [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]'s little sister.<br />
<br />
Although aware of her mother's [[Rock Disease|illness]], Kei took no part in helping Yoshikage steal and keep the [[Locacaca]] from the [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization]]. Instead, wary of the Higashikatas, she infiltrated the Higashikata Family, posing as an unrelated maid and taking the name "Nijimura" to investigate their secret.<br />
<br />
After the earthquake of March 11, Kei discovers the [[Equivalent Exchange|supernatural properties]] of the soil near the [[Wall Eyes]], which can exchange parts between two buried objects.<br />
<br />
===[["Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)|Meeting Josuke]]===<br />
Upon entering the Higashikata household, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] is coerced into taking a family photo. Kei appears and attempts to remove his hat, causing Josuke to feel threatened, and ask who she is. [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]] answers for her and introduces her as the Higashikata family's housekeeper. When Norisuke shows Josuke around the house, he tells him to ask Nijimura for anything he needs. Later, as she helps [[Yasuho Hirose]] exit the premises, she relays a message from Norisuke, stating that Yasuho is not allowed near the Higashikatas' house again.<ref name="JJL7">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 7}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:kyo & josuke.png|thumb|Kei realizes that Josuke is a mix between her brother and a second person]]<br />
Seeing that Josuke has investigated her family tree and taking him for an enemy, Kei unleashes her Stand, [[Born This Way]], on Josuke just as he decides to go see Holy. Nonetheless, Josuke escapes Born This Way and surprises Kei standing near the hospital. Kei tries to summon Born This Way one last time by tossing an opened pen to Josuke but [[Soft & Wet]] knocks her out before it can attack. Josuke manages to defeat her, but Kei stays aggressive and warns Josuke not to approach her mother. Josuke decides to be diplomatic and concedes, leading Kei to trust him. Examining his face, Kei notices that Josuke's eyes and tongue are in fact a blend of two organs.<ref name="JJLC16P28-29" /><br />
<br />
[[File:KeiFruits.png|thumb|left|Kei demonstrating the [[Equivalent Exchange]]]]<br />
Kei subsequently leads Josuke to the Wall Eyes and shows him that he is a [[Equivalent Exchange|fusion]] of her brother [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] and [[Josefumi Kujo|another person]]. She demonstrates using a lemon and a tangerine, burying them underneath the soil. She then unearths the fruits and then slices each of them in half, showing some of their sections swapped.<br />
<br />
===[[Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (story arc)|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation]]===<br />
After [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] returns from his trip, he gives souvenirs he's bought from the trip to his family, including Kei and Josuke. He gives Kei an Oscar statue from a trip to Southeast Asia, which [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] grows jealous of.<br />
<br />
===[[Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home (story arc)|Hato's Boyfriend]]===<br />
When Hato brings her boyfriend [[Tamaki Damo]] home, Kei is the first to be liquefied by Damo's [[Vitamin C]] as she tries to wipe off strange hand prints on the windows and furniture of the house. She spends the rest of the fight in a liquefied state.<br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby]]===<br />
During [[Poor Tom]]'s attack on the Higashikata family, Kei falls under the effects of [[Ozon Baby]]'s pressure based attack, passing out while bleeding.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File:keiphone.png|thumb|200px|right|Kei listening to Yasuho's plea for help]]<br />
During [[Tooru]]'s pursuit in the Higashikata household, [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] immediately eats a Locacaca fruit after realizing that Tooru himself is the user of [[Wonder of U]], who is then causing the calamity. She proceeds to use [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]]'s phone to contact Kei Nijimura. At the [[TG University Hospital]], Kei takes care of her [[Holy Joestar-Kira|mother]] in bed until she receives Yasuho's call. Yasuho tells her to hand the phone to [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] as soon as possible. Kei notices that Holy has written notes about Josuke and his whereabouts and thus Kei is now able to go find Josuke in the secret [[Locacaca]] lab.<br />
<br />
In the Locacaca laboratory, the Stand [[Wonder of U]] manages to take down Josuke and nearly incapacitates him. As it approaches Josuke, [[Born This Way]] breaks into the room and freezes [[Soft and Wet]]'s bubbles, which then strikes Wonder of U multiple times. Kei then enters the laboratory. However, the attack has broken Wonder of U's cane, which lodges itself into Kei's eye. Before she collapses and dies, Kei barely has time to inform Josuke that she's come to give him her cell phone so that he can talk to [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. Later, Josuke somehow feels her hand touching him even though she's still on the floor.<br />
<br />
After Wonder of U flees, Josuke walks over to Holy's room and takes a moment to think about Kei, Holy, and [[Rai Mamezuku]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Kei Nijimura.png|thumb|200px|Her name spelled as "Kei" for the first time on the summary page of [[JJL Volume 24]].]]<br />
<br />
*Her name references [[Keicho Nijimura]] from Part 4. Beyond their family names being the same, her given name continues a pattern: {{nihongo||億|oku}} from [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] means 100 million (10<sup>8</sup>), {{nihongo||兆|chō}} from [[Keicho Nijimura|Keicho]] means 1 trillion (10<sup>12</sup>), and {{nihongo||京|kei}} means 10 quadrillion (10<sup>16</sup>).<br />
**Since "Nijimura" is merely an alias, her real last name is likely "Kira", as is the case with her [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|brother]].<br />
*The initials G.U. on her clothing likely stand for "Going Underground," which was the original name for her Stand, [[Born This Way]].<br />
*The hiragana spelling of her name was originally {{Nihongo||きょう|Kyō}} since [[JJL Volume 4]]. However, it was changed to {{Nihongo||けい|Kei}} as of [[JJL Volume 24]]. [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] noted that he hadn't checked the {{W|furigana}} for a long time.<ref>[[Ultra Jump]] December 2020 Comment</ref><br />
*In the [[Higashikata House]], a few minutes before the harvest of the new [[Locacaca]] fruit, Kei is seen missing in the family photo taken when [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] returns home from a business trip whereas she was initially shown being featured in the photo.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}, p. 30</ref><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 34}}, p.1</ref><br />

{{Quote|I can only make his hair grow in places he touched himself. My range is only up to 80 meters, so even if I grow hair on their bald heads, once I move away from them...

{{nihongo|'''Love Love Deluxe'''|ラブラブデラックス|Rabu Rabu Derakkusu}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Karera Sakunami]], featured in ''[[JoJolion]]''. Love Love Deluxe is a humanoid Stand that makes hair grow wherever a designated target has touched.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Lld appearance.png|left|frameless|140px]]<br />
Love Love Deluxe is a humanoid Stand. It has a feminine appearance, and has mechanical joins at the waist, hips, shoulders, elbow, and hands. A set of metallic cables also connects its chest to the neck. Love Love Deluxe is covered in patches of fur that cover its legs, arms, and body in a way reminiscing of a dress with arm gloves and tights. It also has a large almost afro-like head of hair with a braid going down the middle of it, resembling a zipper.<br />
<br />
In the colored manga, Love Love Deluxe is orange and yellow with gray metallic joints.<br />

With Love Love Deluxe, Karera Sakunami has control over other people's hair, but only within a 80-meter range of herself.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 44}}, p.14</ref> She generally uses Love Love Deluxe to scam people by making them think she can grow their hair back permanently, but has also used it to avoid paying for food by producing a yakitori-stand owner's hair in a product she bought<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}, p.42</ref> or using it to discover the PIN of someone whose ATM card she has stolen, as the hairs on the LCD screen grow at different lengths depending on the order of the numbers.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 44}}, p.30</ref> <br />
<br />
In terms of offense, she's demonstrated being able to grow a long, rope-like strand of hair from a car's gas tank to a target and igniting it with a lighter.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 46}}, p.37</ref><br />

==Trivia==<br />
*"Love Love Deluxe" is a reference back to ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' where [[Yukako Yamagishi]]'s Stand [[Love Deluxe]] also had control over hair.<br />
*The "ラブラブ" (rabu rabu) Katakana in the Stand's name is a popular slang term in Japan meaning "being in love" or "love between partners," best translated as "lovey dovey." This is most likely in reference to her lovey-dovey attitude towards Josefumi.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Jobin Higashikata'''|東方 常敏|Higashikata Jōbin}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Jobin is the eccentric eldest son of the [[Higashikata Family]]. He is married with [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and has a son, [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]. Beyond his job at the [[Higashikata Fruit Company]], Jobin was formerly one of the members of the [[Rock Humans]]' [[Locacaca Organization]]. Jobin is a Stand User and wields the heat accumulating [[Speed King]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:EOH Jobin Concept art.png|borderless|left|frameless|170px]]<br />
Jobin is a man of average to above-average height and medium build. Four grooves cross his face vertically, over the corner and the center of his eyes. As a child, Jobin did not have these grooves at all but upon reaching sixteen, a pair of them mysteriously grew.<ref name="jjl64">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 64}}</ref> The grooves are reduced to one on each side in subsequent appearances.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 59}}</ref> He has an eyebrow that divides centrally, where it curls upwards.<br />
<br />
Wearing an undercut, the hair on his sides is of medium tone and textured by short, bulbous spikes; whilst the light hair on his crown is folded onto the right of his forehead, where it is kept with a barrette.<br />
<br />
He wears an overall light colored outfit of pants and a hooded top both bearing bulbous spikes. The hooded section is dark in color; and the second of two buttons on it bears the [[Higashikata Family (Steel Ball Run)|Higashikata Family crest]]. Jobin also wears a small, weaved necklace. In later appearances, The cuffs section on his sleeves are also dark in color; and they have cufflinks which has a similar design to [[Speed King|his Stand's]] goggles.<br />
<br />
After losing his bet against Josuke, Jobin proceeds to shave off his left eyebrow, making him look "''weird''", as he put it.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|Whether the climate or the era we're in changes, or how the rules and laws of society change... whatever cruel enemy has set foot on the Higashikata Family's land... we are without mercy.|Jobin, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Jobin personality 01.png|thumb|left|Jobin was and is still close to his mother Kaato]]<br />
When he was a child, Jobin Higashikata was very meek and withdrawn. Melancholic due to his illness, Jobin quietly bore with the bullying one of his seniors in his scouting movement put him through, not daring to stand up for himself. However, it is shown Jobin had the courage to refuse the bully's order to burn down someone else's home.<ref name="jjl64" /><br />
<br />
After the awakening of [[Speed King]], Kaato used the opportunity to change Jobin's mindset forever, telling him that he didn't do anything wrong and that he was destined to climb his way up while others would stay at the bottom. Goaded by his mother's words, Jobin committed his first murder. Since then, Jobin has been outgoing and jovial; taking Kaato's words at heart.<ref name="jjl64" /> This event helped shape his philosophy; that humans are born at a level of "zero", no matter the circumstances. Jobin believes that because of this, humans must constantly look for a way to move up in the world, and to him, that is the only way they, and he himself, can achieve happiness. Because of his ambition, Jobin looks down on the rest of the population. Jobin is shown to possess some arrogance and sense of entitlement, as he takes his family's social standing as a right to have special treatment, complaining that several businesses didn't favor him or his family.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 72}}</ref> His pride extends to the Higashikata Family name, as he is proud of his family's high status in Morioh and wishes to keep and even elevate them further. Jobin only believes in strength, stating that good or bad luck, good or evil, legality or illegality do not matter and that only strength matters in life. Thus in his mind the Higashikata are strong and merciless.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.10-14</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu Jobin Mistuo Aida ch35.png|thumb|Jobin getting frustrated when Joshu doesn't recognize his "Mitsuo Aida" quote.]]<br />
Jobin maintains a quiet sense of humor and is fond of quoting {{W|Mitsuo Aida}}. When he's having fun, he is prone to escalating or changing the circumstances of situations solely for the reason of making them more 'interesting', as when he scolds [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] cheering for him and demands he 'switch teams' to Josuke.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 36}}, p.14</ref> In the context of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s personality test,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 7}}</ref> he seems fond of robotic figurines. He is also shown to be very clever when he used his Stand to melt the wax off on his beetle, in addition to detecting Josuke's plan.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 37}}</ref><br />
<br />
In contrast, Jobin sometimes displays the personality of a manchild, with even his own son [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] noticing. In his room, he keeps a large shelving unit full of display cases for exotic beetles.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 34}}, p.28-29</ref> It is hinted that his fondness for beetles is the way they symbolize strength. He breeds beetles to make them fight<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 34}}, p.30</ref> and considers them to be gladiators when on the arena.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 34}}, p.44</ref> He takes great care of his beetles, but he is ready to sacrifice them in order to match a beetle match. For instance, he stuffs one of his beetles with wax so that Speed King can control its movement, uncaring of the fact it will die soon after.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 37}}, p.14-15</ref> This childish streak appears to extend beyond this as Jobin often makes reference to 'summer vacation' and other such indulgences correlating to a typical childhood.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 36}}, p.12</ref><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 64}}, p.29</ref><ref name="jjl72p10" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Jobin personality 02.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin angrily takes leadership of his family]]<br />
Although Jobin hasn't been seen to have many interactions with his siblings it can be observed that while Joshu looks up to his older brother, Jobin holds him in a disinterested light. Jobin however, holds his [[Kaato Higashikata|mother]] in high regard and is her only ally within the Higashikata Family. Kaato and Jobin do have a special relationship as mother and son, but also partners in crime.<ref name="jjl64" /> Jobin also loves his father Norisuke but he disagreed with him on how to manage the [[Higashikata Fruit Company]]. While Norisuke was content with the current state of affairs, Jobin wanted to expand the business to acquire more wealth, status, and power and was frustrated when Norisuke objected to it.<ref name="jjl72p10">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 72}}, p.10</ref> Jobin's also loving towards his wife, they have a strong relationship and common cause in saving his son [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] at any cost. Finally, he loves Tsurugi as his efforts to take the Locacaca are for the sake of saving him from the rock disease.<br />
<br />
Jobin currently desires the power of the [[Locacaca]], wishing to obtain it to rid his family of the Higashikata curse.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 95}}, p.17</ref> This desire leads to him valuing the Locacaca and elimination of any in his way above everything else, even being unconcerned if Morioh itself were to be destroyed in the process. Jobin goes to great length to protect the fruit, as he kills [[Ojiro Sasame]] and [[Maako Kitani]] while the fruits are growing,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}</ref> tries to kill [[Yasuho]] when she infiltrates his house<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 93}}, p.31</ref> but also attacks his father Norisuke to take control of the family as Norisuke discovers Jobin's earlier murders and is about to challenge him, albeit regretfully.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 95}}, p.30-33</ref> Despite his ruthlessness and apparent confidence, Jobin harboured hidden doubts and fears for Tsurugi during the maturation stage, only confessing them to his mother Kaato.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Speed King}}<br />
<br />
Like the other members of his family, Jobin possesses a Stand, referred to as Speed King. It is capable of producing small points of intense heat within a {{cvt|10|cm|in}} radius, which he uses strategically to cheat during a beetle fight, and more commonly, to induce a heat stroke.<br />
<br />
{{StandBox<br />

|Type={{ST|Close}}, {{ST|AH}}<br />
|Ability=Heat Accumulation<br />
|Cry=SPEEEEYYY SPEYAHH! / MERARYARYA!<br />
}}<br />
<br />
This power requires that he come into contact with whatever he wishes to apply heat to, as is the case with Josuke; Jobin offers him tissues to wipe his nose, only for the contact with the tissue being the catalyst required for Jobin to increase the temperature inside of Josuke's head, causing the blood vessels to burst and giving him a nosebleed.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
It is known from his son [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s explanation of the Higashikata family's superstitious beliefs of warding away "demons of sickness" that Jobin, being the firstborn son of his family, was raised as a girl until he turned twelve.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 23}} p.23</ref><br />
[[File:kaato & jobin crime.png|thumb|Kaato & Jobin sacrifice another boy]]<br />
During his youth, Jobin suffered from the [[Rock Disease]], causing his skin to crack and suffer short-term memory loss, forgetting whatever happened the last day. Two of his seniors at a local scouting movement he was part of, bullied and coerced him to steal a set of [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]]'s {{MI|Kaato's Underwear|underwear}} and take a {{MI|Kaato's Shower Photo|photo of her under the shower}}. Coincidentally, a fellow scout spotted Jobin being bullied and denounced the bullies to their school and the police. One of the bullies dragged Jobin to the scout's house one night and tried to coerce him further to set the denouncer's house on fire, Jobin refused and punched the bully in retaliation. Furious, he drenched Jobin's head in oil as a threat; at this moment, Jobin awakened his [[Stand]], [[Speed King]], and heated the blood inside the bully's head, stunning him gravely. Going to his mother for help, Jobin went to the hole under the lone pine tree with the unconscious bully and Kaato. There, Kaato told him that he was destined to climb further up despite his unfair birth, and told him to go bury the bully inside the hole. Jobin thus performed an equivalent exchange. Since then, Jobin had taken Kaato's words to heart and became more assertive.<br />
<br />
At one point, Jobin attended the funeral of [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Jobin met the [[Rock Human]]s of the [[Locacaca Organization]] one day as he and [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] were watching a game of baseball at Morioh Stadium. He was frustrated by the lack of recognition the [[Higashikata Family]] should have, and ambitioned to expand the business to cheap products. However, Norisuke objected to these plans. Frustrated, he was then contacted by [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] and became a member of the [[Locacaca Organization]], using his trades as a cover for the organization's operations.<br />
<br />
===JoJolion===<br />
He is mentioned by [[Joshu Higashikata]] during the attempt at a family photo, apparently having left shortly before. The mention of his absence is enough for his father to call off the welcoming photo for [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. During his trip, Jobin goes to Vietnam and the Philippines to scout for fruits but also brings a [[Locacaca]] tree with him. Before coming to the Higashikata Fruit Parlor, Jobin hands the potted tree to [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]].<br />
<br />
====Meeting Josuke Higashikata====<br />
{{Main|JJL Chapter 33}}{{Main|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:josuke meets jobin.png|thumb|left|Jobin formally meets Josuke]]<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] first encounters Jobin in the Higashikata Fruit Parlor after the events surrounding [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]]. Josuke spills some ice cream on his foot. As Jobin cleans it up, he sees his father and they share a happy welcoming back. He formally meets Josuke and offers him several gifts as a welcome to the family, including a prized [[Palawanicus No.36|Dorcus titanus palawanicus]] (giant stag beetle). Norisuke and Jobin leave the place, but Josuke discovers that Norisuke's [[King Nothing]] has detected the scent of the [[Locacaca]] on his handkerchief, suggesting that Jobin may know something regarding the fruit capable of healing the family's disease and may possibly be involved with Yotsuyu. Jobin then returns to the house and gives the family souvenirs from his trips.<br />
<br />
Josuke comes to ask for advice concerning raising a beetle but when he inspects the live beetles Jobin keeps in a terrarium, he nonchalantly mentions that his Palawanicus could beat it in a straight fight. Interested, Jobin then challenges Josuke to a beetle fight. Josuke uses the opportunity to raise the stacks with a bet. Setting a fighting arena made of cork circled with soft rush plant, Jobin explains the rules of a beetle fight:<br />
<br />
*According to the apparent 45-second memory of the beetles, during which they are eager to fight, a determining factor in a fight can be raised by brushing them with female beetle pheromones.<br />
*The contestants make the beetles fight for a period of 45 seconds. The beetle that is killed, is lifted up for 10 seconds, or leaves the ring loses.<br />
<br />
Jobin then demonstrates the fighting proficiency of his own Palawanicus by making it kill a Japanese hornet and proposes that the loser shaves his eyebrow, to which Josuke accepts.<br />
[[File:josuke beetle match.png|thumb|Josuke challenges Jobin to a beetle fight]]<br />
The first round begins between the two Palawanicus. At first, Jobin's [[Palawanicus No.28|beetle]] gets the upper hand due to its sharpened mandibles and planted female pheromones from a brush, making it push Josuke's beetle to the border of the arena. However, Josuke's beetle then somehow makes Jobin's beetle flee out of the arena. Josuke is shown to have planted pheromones on the arena and released then at an opportune moment to boost his beetle. A frustrated Jobin shaves off his left eyebrow. Despite his loss, Jobin is enjoying himself and challenges Josuke to another beetle fight, and again Josuke accepts. Josuke then proposes his true goal; the [[List of Vehicles#Jobin.27s Golden Lamborghini|Lamborghini]] Jobin owns. Jobin accepts and also orders [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] to cheer Josuke on. Jobin takes a second opponent: a golden stag beetle, also known as a Rosenbergi. As the match begins, Jobin tells Josuke that if he wins, he is allowed to lick Josuke's eyeball.<br />
<br />
[[File:josuke sees speed king.png|thumb|left|Jobin uses his Stand during the beetle fight]]<br />
The Palawanicus' superior size and weight enables it to push the Rosenbergi to the border of the ring. However, the Rosenbergi suddenly moves in an unnaturally precise manner, knocking the Palawanicus over and biting off one leg. The Palawanicus is almost pushed over the border as Josuke reads from an encyclopedia that stag beetles instinctively play dead when feeling strong vibrations at their legs. As the Rosenbergi chomps off another leg, Josuke notices liquid oozing from its head. The Palawanicus falls from the ring, but since the clock went over 45 seconds, Josuke has not lost. Before the second bout, Josuke inquires about the liquid. Jobin reveals that it's wax, that when melted will cause convulsions in the beetle and eventually kill it, but not before Jobin wins. The second bout begins and the Rosenbergi slowly overwhelms the Palawanicus with its precise movement. Suddenly Joshu knocks his foot on the tank where the hornet was killed and asks where the lower half of it's body with the stinger went. The abdomen is shown to be near Josuke who is now showing confidence as the Rosenbergi goes mad and convulses. Josuke had planted some of the hornet's poison in Jobin's brush, which eventually killed his beetle, making Josuke the winner.<br />
<br />
As Josuke takes the Lamborghini's keys with him and leaves the room, Jobin stops him, having realized that Josuke went there for an ulterior motive. Using [[Speed King]], Jobin induces a heavy nosebleed in Josuke and tries to interrogate him. However, the fire alarm activates and Josuke flees in the confusion. Jobin decides not to immediately follow Josuke and checks on the garage, but sees nothing out of the ordinary.<br />
<br />
====[[Doobie Wah (story arc)|Doobie Wah]]====<br />
While Jobin is cleaning up his room, he is contacted by [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]] who asks if he knows why he's being tailed. Jobin connects the event to Josuke but chose to reveal nothing. However he allows Aisho to kill the pursuers, not knowing that his own son is being targeted.<br />
<br />
In the aftermath of [[Tamaki Damo]]'s attack on the [[Higashikata House]], Jobin is shown in his car nearby, where he witnesses Damo's death at the hands of [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. He is then called by his mother, [[Kaato Higashikata]], who he promises to pick up from prison, but is asked to keep her release a secret from the family as she wants it to be a surprise. Following Kaato's arrival and shortly after her sudden departure to the hotel, Jobin enters the family room. He nonchalantly reveals that he was the one to let her in, and goes to examine his breakfast. This causes Norisuke to become suspicious of Jobin.<br />
<br />
====[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]====<br />
[[File:jobin meets dolomite.png|thumb|left|Jobin meets with Dolomite]]<br />
Working directly with Kaato, Jobin begins to investigate Norisuke's garden at night as he searches for a [[Locacaca|Locacaca Branch]]. He is accidentally caught by one of his father's security surveillance cameras, which Josuke quickly discovers. The event confirms Norisuke and Josuke's suspicions of his treachery while Jobin remains unaware of his detection. Kaato calls Jobin, informing him of his father's suspicious behavior and the fact that Norisuke has given Josuke a private cell phone to contact him with.<br />
<br />
Worried by this, Jobin drives to a nearby shrine where he summons a disfigured Rock Human named [[Dolomite]] using fried chicken. He informs Dolomite of the deaths of the previous Rock Humans that were defeated by Josuke and company, all before asking Dolomite for a favor. Jobin shows Dolomite the evidence that through the power of the Locacaca, [[Josefumi Kujo]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] fused to become the current Josuke. Jobin then proposes that Dolomite help him find a Locacaca.<br />
[[File:speed king attacks yasuho.png|thumb|Jobin takes out Yasuho]]<br />
Jobin compliments Dolomite on his choice to cooperate, stating that everyone needs to overcome obstacles to be happy. Showing the photo of Josuke again to Dolomite, he announces his intention to stop him from finding the unknown ally who will let him find the [[Locacaca]]. As Jobin carefully puts Dolomite's tooth into an envelope, Dolomite asks if it's fine if anything dire happens to Josuke or even [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] as a whole because of his [[Blue Hawaii]]. Jobin simply responds that he doesn't care and leaves Dolomite to eliminate Josuke. As [[Yasuho Hirose]] investigates the identity of who Blue Hawaii's user could be, Jobin tracks her down. While Yasuho is distracted using [[Paisley Park]], Jobin uses Speed King to touch her temple. The blood within her veins begins to boil, rendering her unconscious. Jobin ponders killing her to deal a crippling blow to Josuke, however he decides against it as the murder would confirm Norisuke's suspicions. Instead, Jobin leaves Yasuho on the sidewalk and dumps the only evidence of Dolomite's true identity into a sewer drain. However he does not return to Dolomite.<br />
<br />
====[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Poor Tom and Ozon Baby]]====<br />
[[File:Ozone Baby above Jobin.png|thumb|left|Jobin & Tsurugi are attacked by Ozon Baby]]<br />
Jobin receives a phone call from a certain "[[Poor Tom]]", who asks to meet him inside a parking lot. At the meeting, Jobin sees that this Poor Tom is another Rock Human, and proposes him to cooperate in order to stop Josuke from getting the fruit. The baby-like Poor Tom gives him a toy house which he presents as his own Stand [[Ozon Baby]] and instructs him to bury it inside his orchard.<br />
<br />
Jobin complies and sneakily buries Ozon Baby in the garden of his house, and soon after Tsurugi confronts him about his goals. Their conversations are interrupted when the air pressure decreases dramatically. When he tries to escape out of the shed they were in, Tsurugi begins to suffer depressurization sickness and is gravely injured. Jobin manages to save him, and realizes that he has been tricked by Poor Tom. Ozon Baby will indiscriminately attack anyone in its range through its air pressure ability. Determined, Jobin decides to use Josuke and the plant appraiser, whom he guesses are present in the garden.<br />
<br />
[[File:jobin takes the branch.jpg|thumb|Jobin & Tsurugi win the Locacaca branch]]<br />
Eventually, Jobin has Tsurugi use [[Paper Moon King]] on Poor Tom to have him mistake a pear-tree branch for the Locacaca Branch. Once Poor Tom is killed and the fake branch is retrieved, Jobin takes the real Locacaca branch. Afterwards, Jobin is disguised as a cactus by Paper Moon King while Tsurugi talks to Norisuke about the branch being lost. After he leaves, Jobin reveals himself and announces his and Tsurugi's victory over everyone.<br />
<br />
Some time after [[Poor Tom]] and [[Ozon Baby]]'s attack in the Higashikata household, Kaato meets with Jobin to talk about the inevitable danger coming to the family. Jobin explains to her that his [[Jobin's Miyama Stag Beetle|Miyama stag beetle]] has performed an equivalent exchange with his [[Jobin's Hercules Beetle|Hercules beetle]]. He shows the pot of the grafted New Locacaca branch that [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] and plant appraiser [[Rai Mamezuku]] had been searching for. Kaato advises against telling [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] about their plans and expresses her pride in Jobin. She tells him to continue growing the plant using her [[Space Trucking|Stand]] to store a part of the potted plant in between her cards. Later on, he asks her to bring his favorite cream stew for her next visit in the following day.<ref name="JJLC107" /><br />

Hiding the Locacaca in his vivariums, Jobin talks with his wife Mitsuba and ominously declares that the Higashikata Family is becoming stronger. Mitsuba catches a glimpse of the Locacaca, causing Jobin to suspect that she is up to something.<br />
<br />
However, his plans are thrown into disarray as his son, [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] approaches him. Informing Jobin of a man named [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] that knows about the Locacaca. Jobin doesn't know the man and hastily checks on his Locacaca, only to realize that Tsurugi's hand has been put under the influence of Ojiro's Stand [[Fun Fun Fun]]. Tsurugi inadvertently leaked the location of the Locacaca to Ojiro who yearns to possess the fruits, so Jobin tries to think of a counterattack.<br />
<br />
Ojiro uses his Stand to send Tsurugi crashing through a window, forcing Jobin to grab Tsurugi to prevent him from being injured further. However, this allows Ojiro to mark Jobin's hands, and he forces Jobin to start choking Tsurugi. Jobin reveals to Ojiro that the New Locacaca can be harvested in three days, to the man's delight. Ojiro orders Jobin to reveal his Stand, to which Jobin complies. However, Tsurugi reveals his Stand as well, causing an annoyed Ojiro to swipe it out of the way. Believing that Jobin's Stand looks too dangerous for him to be left alive, Ojiro slams the window closed on the duo's necks and steals the New Locacaca (as well as some of Jobin's cash). Ojiro believes both were killed but the duo's wounds were merely an illusion created by [[Paper Moon King]], and Jobin reassures Tsurugi that he will take the New Locacaca back. This promise is soon fulfilled, as Jobin proceeds to follow Ojiro to his girlfriend Makorin's apartment, mercilessly eliminating both of them using [[Speed King]], and steals back the New Locacaca.<br />
<br />
====[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]====<br />
[[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s condition is worsening. As Mitsuba holds him, Jobin approaches them both from a hall-way, shocked to see the rock disease's development. <br />
[[File:Jobin attempting to kill Paisley Park.png|thumb|left|Jobin attempts to kill Paisley Park who's investigating the Locacaca]]<br />
On the day of the Harvest, Jobin surprises [[Paisley Park]] in a cell phone talking to Tsurugi. He immediately grabs the phone and tosses it into a toilet to let Paisley Park drown. Watching over Paisley Park, Jobin also dissuades Mitsuba from helping Yasuho. However, when Mitsuba tries to use [[Awaking III Leaves]] to kill Yasuho, [[Satoru Akefu]]'s ability manifests itself. A drip of water pierces Mitsuba's hand and she misplaces one of the arrows, which directs the force into a wall and destroys it, revealing the new Locacaca to the rest of the Higashikata Family. <br />
<br />
When [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] arrives at [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]'s bedroom, he immediately saves [[Paisley Park]] from drowning and demands to know what is happening. Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side. He explains how he's gotten a hold of and grown the new [[Locacaca]], claiming that he is following the right path, a path where Tsurugi can be saved without any sacrifice and that the family is now too committed to turn back. However, Norisuke then investigates the fruits: thanks to [[King Nothing]], he materializes [[Ojiro Sasame]] and exposes the link between Jobin and Sasame's death. Tearful, Jobin induces a heat stroke in Norisuke with [[Speed King]]. Norisuke collapses as Jobin asks for forgiveness and Jobin cradles his father's body for a moment before recomposing himself. When his siblings rush to see Norisuke, he wards them off using Speed King and tells them to prepare themselves for the future. Jobin covers Norisuke with a tarp and expects victory, but he notices that Paisley Park's phone has been moved near an electrical outlet, allowing the Stand to escape. Jobin crushes the phone. With his siblings' attention, he reveals the nature of the [[Locacaca]] and its importance. He adds that they will protect the fruit from all enemies, including Josuke and Yasuho. Jobin then reassures them, stating that some unfortunate things may happen, but they won't be letting [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] die. <br />
<br />
[[File:Jobin Dies.png||240px|thumb|Jobin is struck by a calamity and dies from blood loss, letting the potted plant roll over to the door]]<br />
Jobin tells them to help him bring Norisuke to the second floor and the fruit in another hiding spot. Suddenly, [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] warns him about [[Satoru Akefu]]'s presence in the house. Seeing him approach Mitsuba and Tsurugi in the bed in impossible ways, Jobin summons Speed King to attack the head doctor who is seemingly hiding under the bedsheets. The head doctor can't be seen and Jobin finds a damaged hair spray that bursts under the damage Speed King caused it, with the blast being quite weak and seemingly harmless. As he's explained the nature of the attack by Mitsuba, Jobin refuses to let go of the fruit and goes to check the monitors of the security cameras, seeing Yasuho but also [[Tooru]]. Jobin suddenly realizes that he's bleeding and eventually sees that the dip tube of the hair spray has pierced his chest without him realizing it. Blood flows at an alarming rate from Jobin's body and he collapses, swiftly dying in the process<ref name="JJLV25" />, letting the potted plant rolling towards the door to the garage.<br />

<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Kaato Higashikata]]: Jobin holds his mother in high regard and exhibits a submissive and obedient behavior around her, showing fear of upsetting her. He respects her greatly and adopts her mindset of climbing his way up while others would stay at the bottom. When Jobin was suffering from the Rock Disease, he assisted her in burying his bully alive in order to cure his disease.<br />
<br />
*[[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]: As his firstborn and eldest son, Jobin is close towards his father, though Norisuke disapproves of his ambitions to expand the Higashikata Fruit Company into a luxurious business that sells high-class fruits. However, following Kaato's arrival to the Higashikata household, Norisuke becomes highly suspicious of Jobin. Norisuke's suspicions come true as it is later revealed that Jobin uses his father's trust to his advantage so he can organize trades for the Locacaca Organization.<br />
<br />
*[[Mitsuba Higashikata]]: Mitsuba is Jobin's wife, whose modelling career helped boost their company's sales. Their union brought Tsurugi Higashikata. On the day of the Locacaca's harvest, Mitsuba assists Jobin in drowning Paisley Park in a bathroom, all for the sake of their son's well-being. During her visit at TG University Hospital, Mitsuba was revealed to be four weeks pregnant with Jobin's child.<br />
<br />
*[[Tsurugi Higashikata]]: As his only son, Jobin loves Tsurugi unconditionally and is willing to sacrifice his own life to save him. Jobin subsequently stole the Locacaca branch in an attempt to cure Tsurugi's worsening condition.<br />
<br />
*[[Joshu Higashikata]]: Joshu is Jobin's younger brother who holds him in high esteem. While Jobin seemingly doesn't notice Joshu's respect, they are on good terms. He cheers him on but unintentionally angers Jobin during his stag beetle fight with Josuke.<br />
<br />
*[[Hato Higashikata]]: Jobin's younger sister. They don't interact often because of Jobin's business trips, but he still brings her and their other siblings gifts when he returns back from one of his occasional trips.<br />
<br />
*[[Daiya Higashikata]]: Jobin's youngest sister and sibling. They don't interact often, but Jobin still brings her a gift along with her siblings.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]: Although they seem to have a cordial relationship and are in the same family, Josuke and Jobin are technically enemies and recognize each others as threats. Josuke was first interested in Jobin because of his mysterious relationship with the Locacaca. During his beetle fight against Josuke, Josuke faked a more friendly and smug demeanor, ultimately leading Jobin to suspect foul play.<br />

Listen, Tsurugi... I'll make any sacrifice I have to make are pay any price I have to pay. This curse on the Higashikata Family - your illness, I swear I'll cure it. The only bad thing is defeat!

But that is a misapprehension. A societal misunderstanding caused by large numbers of people living together. Once you clear away everything extraneous and view each individual and individual situations... what we find existing around us is ... simply... strength and weakness. Good luck and bad luck... good and evil, legal and illegal... you can forget all that. There exist simply the strong that survive and the weak which are destroyed.

Even if it's just a few degrees warmer than the temperature of the body, that heat will always flow from higher to lower. But my Speed King can store up heat and its temperature in one place. Like the surface of paper money, or inside a battery... or a fingertip, or the semicircular canals in the inner ear. Not a large amount of heat, but it can store it up in a place like that and keep it from dispersing. And when that place is touched, it starts flowing again.

{{Quote|This story is the tale of me starting to walk. Not in the physical sense... but in an adolescence to adulthood sort of way...|[[Johnny Joestar]], [[SBR Chapter 3]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''''Steel Ball Run'''''|スティール・ボール・ラン|Sutīru Bōru Ran}} is the seventh part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series. It was serialized in ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' from January 19, 2004 to October 18, 2004. As of [[SBR Chapter 24|Chapter 24]], it switched magazines to ''[[Ultra Jump]]'' and was serialized between March 19, 2005 to April 19, 2011.<br />
<br />
Set in the U.S. in 1890, the story follows [[Johnny Joestar]], a paraplegic ex-jockey, and [[Gyro Zeppeli]], master in a mystic art named the [[Spin]], as they compete with a vast number of others in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]]: a mad-dash across The United States of America for a grand prize of 50 million dollars.<br />

[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning.

The first stage ended, but [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />
<br />
Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]], [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]], and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />

During the final dash, of the third stage, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] challenges Diego again. [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] having known Gyro for a certain amount of time, declares that Gyro lacks a proper drive for the race and will lose there. Gyro angrily rebukes Johnny, but despite his best efforts, Diego stays ahead. However, another racer, [[Hot Pants]], has already crossed the line. Defeated, Gyro admits that he does lack the drive to win.<br />
<br />
At 650&nbsp;km from Kansas City, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] meet [[Hot Pants]] in a forest. They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, sees the word “Turbo” on his spine, thus leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo takes Johnny inside and spares the Napolitan but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal.<br />
<br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof that impales Roadagain. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]]. Johnny discovers that Ringo has sent a message to [[Valentine]] and also that Hot Pants is a woman, choosing to keep it secret. Near Kansas City, the duo crosses path with [[Pocoloco]] and [[Sandman]]. They exchange information, making Johnny realizes that Diego has found the location of the next Corpse Part.<br />
<br />
====Lucy Steel Gets Involved====<br />
[[File:Lucy presents spine.png|thumb|226x226px|Lucy Steel cooperates with Johnny & Gyro, giving them the Spine]]<br />
Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops.

The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out. She steals all the Corpse Parts save a fraction of the Spine.<br />

Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />
<br />
A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

[[File:Diego's World.png|thumb|An alternate Diego attacks Johnny]]<br />
After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />
<br />
Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar II (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

[[File:Part7 Endpicture.jpg|left|thumb|Johnny departing for Europe to bury Gyro|250x250px]]<br />
In the shelter [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego]] meets with [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], who kills Diego by fusing his head with the original's head.<br />
<br />
At the same time, [[Steven Steel|Steven]] rescues [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] by taking him on his horse, so that Johnny can shoot himself.<br />
<br />
After a brief narration of the after effects of the race, Johnny embarks on a boat to give [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s corpse back to his family, in which he meets his future wife [[Rina Higashikata]]. We last see Johnny giving one last prayer, and smiles as he goes to Europe to bury his friend.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref><br />

[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

{{Quote|But I... don't even have that kind of talent, do I...? Even if it's just a little... I have '''something''', right?|Joshu Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Joshu Higashikata'''|東方 常秀|Higashikata Jōshū}} is a [[:Category:Secondary Allies|secondary ally]] featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Joshu is the spoiled third of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]'s [[Higashikata Family#Part VIII|four children]] and eventually rubs shoulders with [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] without truly becoming a friend. He has an unrequited crush on [[Yasuho Hirose]]. Joshu eventually awakens a [[Stand]], [[Nut King Call]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Joshu is an 18-year-old male of average to above-average height and medium build. His eyes are slanted, and in his first appearances, they were curved at almost unnatural degrees. After Yasuho consumes a [[New Locacaca]] to regrow her right arm, Joshu loses his right arm.<br />
<br />
His distinctive hairstyle consists of a nearly bald head, with long, straight, rectangular strips of hair that grow from the center of his scalp and only fall towards the front and back of his head, leaving him with eyebrow-level bangs in front, and totally bald on both sides and underneath; [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]] believes it's because he hardly drank milk.<ref name="C58">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 58}}</ref><br />
<br />
He wears a distinctive cap-sleeved top, with a kind of band collar and a bow tie. A front section is lined horizontally, and he has two upward-pointing arrow shapes on his shoulders. He wears dark pants of a moderate fit with slashes in them, and thick wristbands.<br />
<br />
Since his first meeting with Josuke near the [[Wall Eyes]], Joshu has bite marks on his left knee.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Joshu is an 18-year-old college student and the third of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]'s [[Higashikata Family#Part VIII|four children]]. Entitled, loud-mouthed and self-absorbed, Joshu is the archetypical spoiled teenager.<br />
<br />
One of Joshu's most prominent traits is his general unpleasantness. He is rude and disrespectful to not only his regular entourage but also most people he interacts with. In general, Joshu is quite vulgar and regularly insults or disparages those he interacts with. Partly out of resentment, Joshu regularly bad-mouthes Josuke and has at one point mocked him for not having a family.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 18}}, p.11</ref> He also has a habit of bantering and playing pranks to his sister [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]]. When [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] reveals her unattractive boyfriend, [[Tamaki Damo]] to her family, he immediately chuckles at the sight of Damo<ref name="JJL47P12">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}}, p.12</ref> and also consistently acts rude to his guest. Finally, when [[Kaato Higashikata]] revealed herself to her family, Joshu was hostile to her and made it a point to humiliate her by disassembling her clothes (though this was notably in retaliation to her forced entry and insults of his hair).<ref name="C58" /> Yasuho notes that Joshu has poor social skills, which is at odds with his educational pursuit of social studies.<br />
<br />
Joshu also has violent tendencies and is able to ignore the law for his own interests. For instance, Joshu drew a knife with the intent of using it against Josuke during a dispute after slapping him for seemingly stealing his money.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}, p8-10</ref> He also stole [[Zaihei Nigatake|Zaihei Nigatake's]] wallet when Nigatake left it on the counter and drew money from his bank account as a petty revenge, justifying it as Nigatake being "dumb enough to have an obvious credit card code".<ref name=":0">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 56}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu-movie-theater.png|Joshu buying nine seats at a theater just so he won't be near anyone else|thumb|280px]]<br />
Joshu is also very selfish and has a self-centered view of his world. His selfishness is showcased on several occasions, for instance when he complains that the center spot in the family photograph is taken from him by Josuke or that his room is given to him, only to be pacified when Norisuke compensates with money.<ref name="JJLC7P23">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 7}}, p.23</ref> When his father advises him to get a part-time job and give back to society, Joshu merely dismisses this and asks for money.<ref name=":0" /> His selfishness goes in pair with an incredibly self-serving view of the world. Joshu asserts that he has a sort of romantic relationship with [[Yasuho Hirose]], calling her "[his] Yasuho" (at the same time ignoring the fact that Yasuho looks down on him and tries to get away from him at every occasion). He interprets Yasuho's gesture of giving him twice as many {{W|Mochi|mochis}} as Josuke as a sign of her loving him "twice as much" and readily misinterprets Yasuho's words as a solicitation. Moreover, when he finally notices the many instances in which [[Milagro Man]]'s money gets him even more money, he easily dismisses it as him being lucky and even congratulating himself. In fact, he is mildly arrogant and considers himself as someone on whom everybody counts.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 77}}</ref> However, Joshu harbors some insecurities in private: acknowledging that he has no special talents or achievements, Joshu feels uncertain about his worth.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}</ref> After his father and big brother seemingly die, Joshu also blames himself for not having been able to protect his family and punches himself out of guilt.<ref name="JJL101">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 101}}</ref><br />
<br />
Joshu has shown to be superficial and spendthrift. After stealing money from Zaihei Nigatake, Joshu indulges in a shopping spree, wastefully spending it for things such as a luxurious wristwatch, buying nine seats at the movies just so he can sit alone in the center, or going to a hostess club flicking miscellaneous things into the women's chests, openly stating that he prefers women with large breasts. He also wastes money on merchandise of the idol [[Rena Nanami]].<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Joshu seems to easily distrust many people and organizations. He has stated a disbelief in God, that the prospect of flying in an airplane frightens him, and has a reluctance to drink or eat pancakes made with milk a day older than its printed expiration date, comparing it to crossing a rickety bridge. Likewise, he became highly suspicious of a value package of fish sausages, trying to record the length of said sausages to discover any foul play.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu_and_Hato_arguing.png|thumb|left|125px|Joshu and [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] arguing]]<br />
The only person Joshu<nowiki>'</nowiki>s been shown to fully respect is [[Jobin Higashikata]], his older brother. Joshu admires and praises Jobin's achievements and abilities, and is able to put up with Jobin's own jabs at him. He also has a roughly playful relationship with Hato. They share some bonding moments but most of their interactions are petty dispute and pranks. Joshu also interacts little with [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], acting more or less aloof toward her. During the recent events shaking the [[Higashikata Family]], Joshu did show a small degree of loyalty to his family. After the family's orchard burned down, Joshu seriously proposed that they convert the estate into a matsutake mushroom hunting tour or a bamboo spring hunting tour so that they would have a some income.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 77}}, p12 - 13</ref> When Tsurugi truly fell ill from the [[Rock Disease]], he had no idea what to do but at least tried to cheer up and motivate Norisuke in finding a solution together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 93}}, p17-18</ref> When Yasuho's life was in danger, it is implied that Joshu disobeyed Jobin's orders and actually acted to save Yasuho from his older brother, pushing the phone in which Paisley Park was in near a power outlet while Jobin planned to kill it.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 95}}, p41-43</ref> After Norisuke and Jobin seemingly die before his eyes, Joshu ultimately gathers the will to act and comes out to save Yasuho and perform an [[Equivalent Exchange]] to save her, although he doesn't fully realize the extent of what he has to sacrifice.<ref name="JJL101" /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Nut King Call}}<br />
<br />
Joshu's Stand, Nut King Call, allows him to easily disassemble or fuse objects and people by planting nuts and bolts in them. These nuts and bolts act as physical objects that can be seen and felt by non stand users, the bolts themselves have been shown to cause no pain to the target when fused into them or when detaching pieces of them. The fusing or dismembering can be either permanent or temporary based on Joshu's wishes. Nut King Call was originally activated subconsciously but over the course of JoJolion, Joshu has learned to be more proficient in his use of his stand. <br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Prior to the events of ''[[JoJolion]]'', Joshu presumably lived a normal life, being unaware of every supernatural phenomenon in Morioh. During his youth, Joshu became friends with [[Yasuho Hirose]], with whom he eventually fell in love. Joshu applied to study Sociology in college, noted by Yasuho as ironic given his lack of social skills.<ref name="JJLC2">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}</ref> He and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] also kissed once.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, p.1 JoJo's Colored Adventure translation.</ref><br />

====Meeting Josuke====<br />
[[File:joshu meets josuke.png|thumb|Joshu attacks Josuke upon seeing Yasuho with him]]<br />
When [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] rescues [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] from under the rubble at the [[Wall Eyes]], Joshu immediately misunderstands the situation and tries to attack Josuke with a rock out of jealousy. He is quickly taken out by Josuke, who uses [[Soft & Wet]] to plunder Joshu's eyesight.<ref name="JJLC1P31-32">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, pp.31-32</ref> Joshu is later seen at the hospital, having received the same bite marks on his leg that Josuke had. Joshu is jealous to see Yasuho with Josuke, but reassures himself by believing that she loves him more since she gave him a bigger box of {{MI|Sesame Honey Dumplings}}.<ref name="JJLC2P26">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}, p.26</ref> <br />
<br />
The [[Higashikata Family]] welcomes Josuke among them, to Joshu's frustration. What more, Josuke is given Joshu's room while Joshu is moved to another room. [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] shuts him up by handing him money. The family decides to take a commemorative photo and Joshu is livid to see Josuke take Yasuho's hand and bring her close thus he mentions that Jobin is absent, making Norisuke cancel the photo. <br />
<br />
Joshu tries to acclimate himself with Josuke's presence. One morning, Josuke borrows Joshu's razor and shaves using [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles; Hato and Joshu's faces end up being covered in his hair as a result.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 11}}</ref> Later, Joshu surprises Josuke holding his clothes and thinks that he is stealing money from him. Refusing to hear Josuke, Joshu slaps him and prepares to use a knife on Josuke but Norisuke intervenes and defuses the situation.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}</ref><br />
<br />
====[["Shakedown Road" (story arc)|"Shakedown Road"]]====<br />
[[File:josuke joshu in shakedown road.png|thumb|left|Josuke & Joshu are targeted by Shakedown Road's people]]<br />
The next day, at the breakfast table, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] for a cell phone as well as the chance to go to school. Norisuke agrees but orders Joshu to escort him. Joshu tests Josuke with a trigonometric problem, which he solves, before Joshu asks him to walk with him to a different high school as a favor. Josuke and Joshu travel to [[Shakedown Road]], known for its community of hustlers. Joshu hopes to record himself being robbed in order to complain with evidence to the police for an earlier crime. Arriving there, Joshu unknowingly breaks a child's "compact" toy before her mother demands compensation; as does Josuke a turtle tank in a nearby store window, apparently killing the turtles inside; for which the store owner extorts Josuke for ¥20,000 and a plan to pay off ¥330,000. Joshu captures the event with his phone; discovering that Josuke had stepped on leaves, rushed almost instantly to the tank, and then back, unaware. This intrigues Joshu.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three thugs then confront Josuke and accuse Josuke of having made one drop his cell phone into a puddle. Watching another recording just made, Josuke sees himself again slide backward, knock into the man, then return to his original position, again unaware. The men propose that Josuke deliver a package underneath a nearby flower pot to a nearby woman as compensation. Having been set up to exchange an illegal substance, the two are soon arrested by a pair of police officers also observing.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu awakens nkc.png|thumb|Joshu discovers his Stand, Nut King Call]]<br />
Meanwhile, Joshu has realized how the scattered gingko leaves are responsible for instantaneously transporting people and objects. He positions himself to intercept their exchange of money and seizes an envelope before running away. The dealers notice Joshu's sleight and give chase, easily catching up using the ginkgo leaves. A thug prepares to beat him but a nut and screw suddenly materialize on one of his hands. Confused; the man unscrews it, causing his hand to detach from his wrist. Panic rises among them as his other hand falls and more screws form, before Joshu's Stand, [[Nut King Call]], is fully revealed. Joshu escapes. Catching his breath in a playground, Joshu is happy to have outwitted everyone and expresses some sympathy for Josuke. However, he discovers that his stolen money is in fact composed of leaves.<br />
<br />
====[[Paper Moon Deception (story arc)|Paper Moon Deception]]====<br />
Later, Joshu notices that Josuke has used his phone to call [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. He seeks Josuke and confronts him, unaware that Josuke is under the effects of [[Paper Moon King]]. Josuke is left confused about who is screaming at him. Soon after, Joshu calls Yasuho. However, Yasuho too is affected by [[Paper Moon King]] too and mistakes Joshu for Josuke. Yasuho hugs Joshu and tells him that she was waiting for him, which makes Joshu ecstatic about this situation. The misunderstanding escalates until Joshu thinks that Yasuho wants to have sex and he brings her to an unoccupied public toilet. Joshu takes off his pants and begins to undress Yasuho but Yasuho smashes a cistern lid against his skull, taking him out.<br />
<br />
Joshu would later wake up and misremember the incident, claiming to Josuke that they were having a moment.<br />
<br />
====[[Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (story arc)|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation]]====<br />
[[File:josuke beetle match.png|thumb|left|Joshu witnesses Josuke and Jobin's beetle fight]]<br />
When [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] returns from his business trip to Southeast Asia and brings everyone gifts, Joshu receives a fake lobster, while the rest of the [[Higashikata Family]] seemingly receive funnier gifts. He mockingly asks [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] what he's received only to be told that Josuke's been given a precious wristwatch and a rare beetle. At the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata's]], the family members are having fun showing each other the strange gifts [[Jobin]] got for them. [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks if he can go to Jobin's room, saying he needs advice for raising his stag beetle. Joshu subsequently accompanies Josuke to Jobin's room. Josuke inspects the live beetles, and pointing at one Palawanicus, nonchalantly mentions that his Palawanicus could beat it in a straight fight. Joshu is angry at his conceitedness but Jobin is interested and challenges Josuke to a beetle fight. Josuke uses the opportunity to raise the stacks with a bet. The first round begins between the two Palawanicus. At first, Jobin's beetle gets the upper hand due to its sharpened mandibles and planted female pheromones from a brush, making it push Josuke's beetle to the border of the arena. The tables are turned when Josuke releases the pheromones he planted in the soft rush plants with his bubbles. Josuke's beetle then makes Jobin's beetle flee out of the arena. A frustrated Jobin shaves off his left eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Despite his loss, Jobin is enjoying himself and challenges Josuke to another beetle fight, and again Josuke accepts. Moreover, Jobin orders his brother to cheer Josuke on, which Joshu accepts. Josuke then proposes to bet the Lamborghini Jobin owns. Jobin accepts and decides to use a Rosenbergi beetle. As the match begins, Jobin tells Josuke that if he wins, he is allowed to lick Josuke's eyeball. The Palawanicus' superior size and weight enables it to push the Rosenbergi to the border of the ring. However, the Rosenbergi suddenly moves in an unnaturally precise manner, knocking the Palawanicus over and biting off one leg. The Palawanicus is almost pushed over the border as Josuke reads from an encyclopedia that stag beetles instinctively play dead when feeling strong vibrations at their legs. Intrigued that the Rosenbergi could exploit this weakness, Josuke secretly deduces that Jobin could in fact remotely command it. As the Rosenbergi chomps off another leg, Josuke notices liquid oozing from its head. The Palawanicus falls from the ring, but since the clock went over 45 seconds, Josuke has not lost.<br />
<br />
Before the second bout, Josuke secretly plunders the scent from Jobin's paintbrush and then inquires about the liquid. Jobin reveals that it's wax, that when melted will cause convulsions in the beetle and eventually kill it, but not before Jobin wins. As the second round begins, Josuke pops the bubbles that plundered the air around this paintbrush, and is baffled to discover that the paintbrush has exuded a temperature as high as 60&nbsp;°C. As the Rosenbergi slowly overwhelms the Palawanicus with its precise movement, Josuke witnesses a faint apparition of [[Speed King|Jobin's Stand]]. Josuke then realizes that the beetle fight has been a front for a Stand battle. Suddenly Joshu knocks his foot on the tank where the hornet was killed and asks where the lower half of it's body with the stinger went. The abdomen is shown to be near Josuke who is now showing confidence as the Rosenbergi goes mad and convulses. Josuke had planted some of the hornet's poison in Jobin's brush, which eventually killed his beetle, making Josuke the winner. Josuke takes the key and manages to escape even if Jobin wants to interrogate him. Joshu accuses Josuke of wanting the Lamborghini to check its event data recorder but Jobin doubts it. They do check the garage but see nothing suspicious.<br />
<br />
====[[Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home (story arc)|Hato Brought her Boyfriend Home]]====<br />
[[File:joshu melted.png|thumb|Joshu is melted by Damo's Vitamin C]]<br />
One day, [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] brings her first boyfriend home. The boyfriend is revealed to be a short and overweight man named [[Tamaki Damo]] which greatly amuses Joshu. His amusement eventually turns into dismay as Damo is shown to be extremely awkward and balding even. Joshu is made to serve some champagne to the guest and Joshu notices that his bracelet have slipped out of his wrist. Damo asks where the bathrooms are, and Joshu tells him to go to the door on the right in the corridor. However, Joshu sees Damo briefly entering the room on the left, the pantry. Suspicious, Joshu checks in the room and sees that the cabinet where the CCTV system is stored has been broken. He touches the cabinet but soon realizes that his body is abnormally soft. Before he can call for help, Joshu trips into the sink where the water washes him away.<br />
<br />
However, Damo is soon defeated by Hato, assisted by [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Joshu eventually comes out of the sewer, unharmed.<br />
<br />
====[[Milagro Man (story arc)|Milagro Man]]====<br />
[[File:joshu with money.png|thumb|Joshu acquires a large sum of money]]<br />
Two weeks prior to [[Kaato Higashikata]]'s release, Joshu asks for money from his father [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] as he wishes to buy idol items. After the meet-and-greet, Joshu spends time choosing the goodies he wants to buy, only to be cut off by a [[Zaihei Nigatake|fellow fan]] who already chose what he wanted. Upset, Joshu realizes that this man left his wallet on the counter and steals it just as the man returns to find his wallet. In the restroom, Joshu steals all the cash inside the wallet and the cash card, withdrawing {{MI|The Milagro Man's Money|500,000 yen}} from his victim's bank account after correctly guessing the code. Happy to have outsmarted his victim, Joshu indulges himself in a shopping spree, trying to buy an expensive wristwatch, several movie tickets for one showing, and eating in a luxurious restaurant. At the same time, due to many coincidences, Joshu doesn't actually lose his money, but accumulates more and more as he tries to spend it. Thinking that he is lucky, Joshu doesn't pay much attention to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:joshu with too much money.png|thumb|left|Joshu is eventually overwhelmed by the amount of cursed money he has]]<br />
However, when he tries to spend his money in a bar, the manager and several security guards interrogate him about the money. To Joshu's surprise, the owner is furious that he is trying to give him the money and mentions a "[[Milagro Man]]". For unknown reasons, the owner forces more money into Joshu's pocket and tries to beat him up. Joshu uses [[Nut King Call]] to fight back and flees. Joshu eventually notices that the staff put even more money inside his bag, making him feel suspicious. Nervous to have so much money and realizing that whenever he tries to spend his money, he instead receives more, Joshu examines the bills but sees nothing unusual. He decides to gamble in a boat race and wins 3.1 million yen. At first happy, Joshu then notices that the money inside his bag has somehow increased, making it impossible to close. Anxious that someone could discover his money, Joshu tries to hide it inside a coin locker. As he pushes the money inside, Joshu sees that the immatriculation of the bills all finish with "13R". The locker breaks down, letting some of the money fly away, but all the bystander then return the money without asking questions. Joshu then tries to take a taxi home, but the taxi driver then tries to return the money. Joshu insists that he keeps the cash, and the two eventually struggle to have the other one take the money. Joshu accidentally burns one of the bills and sees it multiplying at high speed and to his horror, the money begins to cover him.<br />
[[File:joshu beats up Zaihei.png|thumb|Joshu passes the money back to Zaihei]]<br />
Joshu wakes up on his home's couch, thinking that he's merely dreamed the past events. However when he returns to his room, it is flooded with money which falls into him. Joshu tracks down his victim, named Zaihei Nigatake, and blames him for what's happening to him. Zaihei, grateful toward Joshu for taking his "curse", explains everything to him. This cursed money which never goes away from its owner is said to have belonged to an arms dealer named the Milagro Man. The Milagro Man lost a lawsuit and went mad, killing his whole family and setting his mansion on fire, burning everything except a single scorched bill. The curse remained inside the money and two years ago, Zaihei unwittingly took the curse in Europe and returned to Japan, living hell waiting for someone to take the curse. Zaihei advises Joshu to have someone take the money and try to destroy it to pass the curse completely. When Zaihei takes a bottle of juice and opens it, Joshu reveals that he planted some of the money inside the wrapping. When Zaihei opened it, he unwittingly tore the bills inside, and he sees the money appearing around him and burying him. Zaihei begs Joshu, but the latter departs, cleared of the curse. On his way home, Joshu melancholically ponders his true worth in the world.<br />

====[[JJL Chapter 58|Dawn of the Higashikata Household]]====<br />
[[File:kaato meets her family.png|thumb|left|Kaato reintroduces herself to her family]]<br />
One day, the matriarch [[Kaato Higashikata]] returns. Kaato, berating Norisuke for having never mentioned her, comments on how [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], Joshu and [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] have grown, exposing herself as their mother. Norisuke rebukes Kaato, saying that Kaato should have called to tell him that she was freed, but Kaato justifies herself that she wanted to see her children as soon as possible after 15 years in prison. Finally, Hato explains that she murdered a child. Unfazed by the revelation of her crime, Kaato demands that she has compensation for her time in prison. Daiya, curious about Kaato, is told by her mother to come hug her, but Joshu pushes a chair and makes Kaato trip. Joshu then begins to antagonize Kaato, then tricks her into undressing herself, exposing his skepticism about Kaato's relationship with the family. [[Space Trucking|Kaato's cards]] fall over, causing a curious Joshu to pick them up, but a chair suddenly appears from one of them, impaling Joshu in the jaw. Furious, Kaato scolds Joshu for underestimating her and is outraged that her love for her family isn't returned. Kaato leaves, offended.<br />
<br />
====[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]====<br />
Joshu is seen at the Higashikata House, having breakfast with his family as Jobin buries [[Ozon Baby]] in the garden. He measures the size and weight of the fish sausages the family is eating in order to find out if the company making them has made them smaller in exchange for having more sausages per package. To his dismay, the family ignores his "investigation" and eats all of the sausages. After Ozon Baby is activated and the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata household]] is affected by the Stand's ability, Joshu is seen bleeding from the face and unconscious on the couch alongside his father.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 77|Equivalent Exchange and the University Hospital]]====<br />
The family's orchard is burned down but the attack on the family stops. Joshu angrily yells at [[Rai Mamezuku]], whom he doesn't know, but the misunderstanding is soon cleared. He accuses him of setting the orchard on fire, but his accusation is quickly shot down by Norisuke. The family, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and Rai discuss what has happened and what to do next. As [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] worries about the family's livelihood, Joshu proposes an idea of how the family could make money: a {{W| Matsutake|Matsutake mushroom}} hunting tour (turned into a bamboo shoot hunting tour in the Spring), as well as adopting {{W| Red panda|red pandas}} and building a go-kart track. His fantasizing is interrupted by [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], who notifies him that everyone else has already left.<br />
<br />
====The New Locacaca====<br />
{{See also|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
On the day of the harvest, a string of events result in the [[Higashikata Family]] catching [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] trying to drown [[Paisley Park]]. Joshu is forced to see his family tearing itself apart as [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] exposes Jobin's murder of [[Ojiro Sasame]] and Jobin induces a heat stroke in Norisuke with [[Speed King]]. Unlike his sisters, he has the presence of mind to help Paisley Park escape the house, giving [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] a chance to survive. Jobin doesn't act on this. Eventually, the family sees that Jobin is victim of Akefu's Stand attack.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu loses arm.jpeg|thumb|Joshu loses his arm after using a new Locacaca with Yasuho]]<br />
Dismayed by the disasters that have struck his family, Joshu still comes out of the house with the [[Locacaca]] in his hands and declares that he will save [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. Blaming himself for not being able to protect his family from the calamities that have struck them, Joshu repeatedly punches himself. Yasuho tells him to seek [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] or [[Rai Mamezuku]], but Joshu dismisses these options as they may be under attack themselves and he probably won't be able to contact them. Joshu then shows the potted [[Locacaca]] to Yasuho, planning to use the [[Equivalent Exchange]] properties of the fruit to save his loved ones, beginning with Yasuho. At first, she doesn't want to eat a fruit because they're not ripe yet but the biggest fruit looks ripe. The two hear a noise but Joshu dismisses it as the wind. Yasuho accepts to perform an equivalent exchange and explains the details to Joshu. Too enthusiastic to realize what he's about to sacrifice, Joshu immediately accepts and fantasizes about the bond they're about to make. He sticks himself to Yasuho because he believes they need physical contact, which frustrates her greatly. When Yasuho eats the fruit, their legs temporarily merge, allowing the exchange. Yasuho's arm regrow but Joshu is shocked so see his arm shrink into a stub. [[File:Fail.png|thumb|left|Joshu attempts to attack Tooru]]<br />
While Yasuho prepares for battle, Joshu panics at the loss of his right arm because he wasn't fully aware of what he would sacrifice. Joshu quickly changes his mind due to the consequences of the [[Equivalent Exchange]], and demands to have a second [[Equivalent Exchange]] with the only Locacaca left to have his arm back. However, Yasuho refuses, stating that the fruit is for [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. This enrages Joshu, who advances to attack Yasuho, even summoning [[Nut King Call]] to fight. However, he trips on the potted Locacaca and falls to the ground.<br />

Tooru then appears to ask Yasuho to hand him the potted Locacaca. Regaining his senses, Joshu threatens Tooru for daring to speak so casually to her and summons Nut King Call. The three of them see something big falling towards them from the sky. Tooru grabs Yasuho, insisting that he must take the Locacaca before it is swept up in a calamity, which enrages Joshu. Joshu tries to attack Tooru, but a leaf cuts off two of his fingers. Overwhelmed, by the pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the pot. At the plane slide panel comes dangerously close to Yasuho, Joshu promises to somehow protect her. As the panel nearly reaches Yasuho, [[Paisley Park]] suddenly comes out of Joshu's cell phone, bringing one of Josuke's [[Soft & Wet|bubbles]] with it. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru and pops inside of his abdomen, saving Yasuho from the calamity. Over the phone, Josuke instructs Yasuho to point her phone at Tooru once more until she realizes that Tooru ate the other Locacaca plant and is now walking towards her. Joshu attempts to stop Tooru when he starts sprinting but gets struck on the head by the house's rain gutter due to the calamity. Yasuho finally faces her phone at Tooru's direction and is hit by the invisible bubble. Meanwhile, [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]] strangely appears inside the house. He lies still on the ground as Kaato begins to pin down Tooru with her ability and use his body for an equivalent exchange with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] who was hidden in her cards.<br />
<br />
While Joshu is incapacitated, the exchange is successful with the help of Kaato's [[Space Trucking]] - Tooru completely disintegrates into the air and Tsurugi recovers, although Kaato is revealed to have been stabbed during when she crushed the branch due to Wonder of U's ability. With the family curse broken, the Higashikata family attend to Norisuke, who is in an incapacitated state, while an ambulance arrives in the estate. Joshu is taken away by the ambulance, still unconscious.<br />
<br />
===Aftermath===<br />
Days later, Joshu completely recovers, and the Higashikata family go to a cafe to order a cake as a celebration for [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s discharge the next day. Josuke and Yasuho are later invited. While choosing a cake made by the Higashikata parlor, everyone breaks down into tears, including [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]], [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]]. Tsurugi then insists Josuke to choose a cake. With the family reunited once again, Yasuho Hirose sheds a tear before exiting the room.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]: Joshu's adoptive brother. Joshu initially attacks him during their first meeting, fueled by his jealousy after seeing him nude beside Yasuho, before he is subdued by Josuke himself. Joshu retains a powerful sense of insult after the Higashikata family adopts Josuke and his relationship with Josuke remains neutral later on. When the two pass through [[Shakedown Road]] while travelling to school together, Josuke exerts an arms-length reception of Joshu, who persistently curses and discriminates against him. However, during the end of the [[The Radio Gaga Incident (story arc)|Radio Gaga Incident arc]], he seems to fully accept Josuke as part of the Higashikata family, alongside the rest of his siblings.<br />
<br />
*[[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]: Joshu's loving father. While Norisuke spoils his youngest son like with his siblings, Joshu often exploits this, straightforwardly asking his father to give him money to attend a meet-and-greet with his idol.<ref name="JJLC56P5">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 56}}, p.5</ref> Norisuke considers Joshu a problem child and often scolds him for his attitude.<br />
<br />
*[[Jobin Higashikata]]: Joshu looks up to his eldest brother with respect. When Jobin shows Josuke his stag beetle collection, Joshu displays an extensive amount of knowledge on the creatures, implying that his brother may have taught him before. He sides with his brother during his beetle match against his adoptive brother.<br />
<br />
*[[Hato Higashikata]]: Unlike with his other siblings, he and Hato share the most quips and antics. They have a playful sibling relationship, as seen from their banters in the household. Joshu likes to tease Hato and in return, she also picks at him. When Hato introduces her boyfriend, Damo, to the family, Joshu wastes no time to devise his plans to tease Damo of his mannerisms and even attempts to fully expose his bald spot by shooting a champagne cork. Nevertheless, the brother and sister love each other unconditionally and both care for the other as siblings.<br />
<br />
*[[Daiya Higashikata]]: Joshu's youngest sister. They do not talk with each other much in the household, save for a few family interactions.<br />
<br />
*[[Kaato Higashikata]]: Because of their mother having been arrested before they were mature enough to know what had happened to her, both Joshu and Daiya have only known her from the words of their father, who told them that she either died or went missing. As a result, they do not recognize Kaato as their mother during their visit to the Higashikata household after her release from prison. True to his foolish behavior, Joshu makes his own mother trip on a chair and even attempts to undress her. Furious, Kaato uses her mysterious card Stand ability and impales Joshu on the jaw with a chair that appears under one of the cards.<br />
<br />
===Friends and Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Yasuho Hirose]]: Joshu's childhood friend whom he is also in love with. Despite of Yasuho constantly rejecting his feelings, he seems to pursue her no matter what, often with the intention to make Josuke jealous. When she was under [[Paper Moon King]]'s effects, she mistakes Joshu for Josuke and he interprets her comfortableness with him at the time as her wanting to have sex. However, Joshu realizes something is wrong and stops, only to be knocked out by Yasuho. Later, devastated by his family's tragedy, Joshu tries to protect an injured Yasuho during the calamity cast by Tooru and his Wonder of U.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
<br />
*[[Tooru]]: Joshu and Tooru meet when Tooru arrives at the Higashikata estate to take the ripened [[Locacaca|New Locacaca]]. During this encounter, Joshu threatens Tooru with violence after he watches him talk to Yasuho in a demeaning manner, angering him greatly. Joshu tries several times to attack Tooru, only to be struck down by several calamities.<br />

<br />
==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Joshu appears as a stage hazard and Situation Finish in the Wall Eyes stage. If one of the fighters is knocked down on the "hazard" indication area, Yasuho Hirose backs away in fright, causing Joshu to appear and run through the stage, knocking anyone who gets in his way down with a rock until he reaches her. Afterward, he can be heard having a conversation with Yasuho in the background.<br />
<br />
As a Situation Finish, the losing side is knocked out near Yasuho, causing her to scream. Joshu becomes angry, walks up to the downed character, and finishes them off with the aforementioned rock (similar to how he attacks Josuke during their first encounter at the very beginning of Part 8).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
Joshu makes his first playable appearance in ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven'' and was confirmed for the game alongside [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke (JoJolion)]], [[Narciso Anasui]], and [[Enrico Pucci]] with [[C-Moon]].<br />
<br />
Due to Joshu's lack of combat experience, having only recently discovered his Stand at the time of the game's development and release, his skillset is somewhat limited compared to other characters. His inclusion might simply be a result of Josuke lacking a proper partner to team up and have a Special Dual Heat Attack with. However, while sporting a low amount of abilities and skills, Joshu remains a viable fighter regardless. Joshu also has the slowest base movement speed in the entire game, but certain conditions can increase it to the fastest as well.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - What a stupid thing to say.''': Joshu stops to make an irritating comment, bragging about his and Yasuho's relationship. This forces opponents within range to lock onto him and automatically unleash a Powerful Attack, and will also boost the Dual Heat Gauge by a considerable amount. Due to this effect, Joshu can easily counterattack if he guards or dodges his target's inevitable attack, and the ability is especially effective against opponents actively attacking his partner. However, Joshu himself is vulnerable upon activating the skill until he utters the first few words of the phrase, and his opponents will of course still land their attacks successfully if he does not defend in time.<br />
*'''Whoa! I did that!''': Joshu reaches his hand forward, and if he connects with an opponent, he will lift them up by their neck with one hand as metallic nuts fall from their body. He then punches them with his other hand and sends them flying, leaving them '''Panicked''' for a short period of time. While Panicked, opponents cannot use any of their skills, nor can they guard, altogether rendering them especially vulnerable. The effect will be lifted early if Joshu is hit by certain attacks or a DHA.<br />
*'''The Screw''': Joshu trips backwards onto the ground as Nut King Call advances forward with its arm outstretched. If NKC connects with an opponent, it will produce massive bolts that stick out from their bodies, paralyzing them and leaving them open to further attacks. Quickly moving the movement stick around can shorten the time bound.<br />
*'''I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!''': Joshu begins hysterically running around at high speeds while holding himself. The skill's cooldown gauge then changes into a depleting timer; if Joshu successfully empties the gauge via his running, he will stop and laugh uncontrollably. This triggers multiple beneficial effects: Joshu gains a temporary boost to attack power and Dual Heat Gauge charge rate, all of his skills will be instantly taken off cooldown at that moment (including EX skills), and a Flash Cancel and Flash Burst is restored if they have been consumed. Joshu can interrupt his run with any action without canceling the skill; the timer's depletion will only slow and Joshu will resume running if no actions are taken afterward. However, if Joshu is hit by or blocks an attack, or initiates a Dual Combo or DHA, the skill will deactivate completely and the cooldown will begin from wherever the timer gauge leaves off.<br />
*'''EX - The Screw''': The skill activates quicker and Joshu is invincible until Nut King Call begins moving. NKC will move a slight distance further, extend its arm's reach, and deal more damage.<br />
*'''EX - I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!''': Joshu runs at an even faster speed. The timer gauge will deplete at a considerably faster rate, and will also not slow down upon him taking action.<br />
**Of note is that if Joshu has a Soul Succession active, the effects of the movement speed boosts are multiplicative, causing him to accelerate into a superhuman sprint. At his level of speed, he is able to traverse one end of any stage to the other in the few seconds the ability lasts, and he possesses the fastest running speed of any character in the game bar none as long as the skill is active. The speed increase is such that Joshu can even outpace most characters' Homing Dash, making it nigh impossible for any adversaries to catch him without the use of fast projectiles or traps.<br />
<br />
====JoJolities====<br />
<br />
*'''She even lets me give her kisses...''': Joshu must use his Style Action 3 times. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Wait... I'm the one doing this! Yeaaaah!!''': Joshu must connect "Whoa! I did that!". (200 Points)<br />
*'''Gross alert! Gross alert!''': Joshu must break a Panicked opponent's health gauge. (300 Points)<br />
*'''He's a surprisingly good and honest guy...''': Joshu must finish his run after activating "I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!". (500 Points)<br />
*'''What an unbelievably crazy battle!''': Joshu must Retire an opponent without losing a single health gauge. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
====Dual Heat Attacks====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo - Wait... I'm the one doing this! Yeaaaah!!''': Joshu, sitting on the ground, realizes Nut King Call has started acting on its own. The opponent suddenly has nuts and bolts embedded into their body when NKC stands up. As the nuts begin automatically undoing themselves from their bolts, the opponent violently falls apart and is soon completely dismantled.<br />
*'''With [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] - We're friends, right?''': Joshu and Josuke discuss their "friendship" status as [[Soft & Wet]] delivers a punch that downs the opponent. Joshu and Nut King Call hastily move in to finish them off, but fails to notice a bubble by Soft & Wet that steals the ground's friction, making him slip and spin out of control. Accelerating to high-speeds, Joshu is only stopped when he inevitably crashes into the downed opponent as Josuke humorously looks on.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
<br />
He is paired with [[Diavolo]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, having been placed in the F Block series of battles to be incorporated into the main Tournament. They were eliminated in the first round by [[Bruno Bucciarati]] and [[Trish Una]].<br />

<br />
*In the [[Ultra Jump]] release of [[JJL Chapter 57]], the text on the cover states that Joshu is 19 years old. However, this is not mentioned in [[JJL Volume 14]] and onwards, which lists him as being 18 on the summary pages.<br />

{{Quote|But I... don't even have that kind of talent, do I...? Even if it's just a little... I have '''something''', right?|Joshu Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Joshu Higashikata'''|東方 常秀|Higashikata Jōshū}} is a [[:Category:Secondary Allies|secondary ally]] featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Joshu is the spoiled third of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]'s [[Higashikata Family#Part VIII|four children]] and eventually rubs shoulders with [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] without truly becoming a friend. He has an unrequited crush on [[Yasuho Hirose]]. Joshu eventually awakens a [[Stand]], [[Nut King Call]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Joshu is an 18-year-old male of average to above-average height and medium build. His eyes are slanted, and in his first appearances, they were curved at almost unnatural degrees. After Yasuho consumes a [[New Locacaca]] to regrow her right arm, Joshu loses his right arm.<br />
<br />
His distinctive hairstyle consists of a nearly bald head, with long, straight, rectangular strips of hair that grow from the center of his scalp and only fall towards the front and back of his head, leaving him with eyebrow-level bangs in front, and totally bald on both sides and underneath; [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]] believes it's because he hardly drank milk.<ref name="C58">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 58}}</ref><br />
<br />
He wears a distinctive cap-sleeved top, with a kind of band collar and a bow tie. A front section is lined horizontally, and he has two upward-pointing arrow shapes on his shoulders. He wears dark pants of a moderate fit with slashes in them, and thick wristbands.<br />
<br />
Since his first meeting with Josuke near the [[Wall Eyes]], Joshu has bite marks on his left knee.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
Joshu is an 18-year-old college student and the third of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]'s [[Higashikata Family#Part VIII|four children]]. Entitled, loud-mouthed and self-absorbed, Joshu is the archetypical spoiled teenager.<br />
<br />
One of Joshu's most prominent traits is his general unpleasantness. He is rude and disrespectful to not only his regular entourage but also most people he interacts with. In general, Joshu is quite vulgar and regularly insults or disparages those he interacts with. Partly out of resentment, Joshu regularly bad-mouthes Josuke and has at one point mocked him for not having a family.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 18}}, p.11</ref> He also has a habit of bantering and playing pranks to his sister [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]]. When [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] reveals her unattractive boyfriend, [[Tamaki Damo]] to her family, he immediately chuckles at the sight of Damo<ref name="JJL47P12">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}}, p.12</ref> and also consistently acts rude to his guest. Finally, when [[Kaato Higashikata]] revealed herself to her family, Joshu was hostile to her and made it a point to humiliate her by disassembling her clothes (though this was notably in retaliation to her forced entry and insults of his hair).<ref name="C58" /> Yasuho notes that Joshu has poor social skills, which is at odds with his educational pursuit of social studies.<br />
<br />
Joshu also has violent tendencies and is able to ignore the law for his own interests. For instance, Joshu drew a knife with the intent of using it against Josuke during a dispute after slapping him for seemingly stealing his money.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}, p8-10</ref> He also stole [[Zaihei Nigatake|Zaihei Nigatake's]] wallet when Nigatake left it on the counter and drew money from his bank account as a petty revenge, justifying it as Nigatake being "dumb enough to have an obvious credit card code".<ref name=":0">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 56}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu-movie-theater.png|Joshu buying nine seats at a theater just so he won't be near anyone else|thumb|280px]]<br />
Joshu is also very selfish and has a self-centered view of his world. His selfishness is showcased on several occasions, for instance when he complains that the center spot in the family photograph is taken from him by Josuke or that his room is given to him, only to be pacified when Norisuke compensates with money.<ref name="JJLC7P23">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 7}}, p.23</ref> When his father advises him to get a part-time job and give back to society, Joshu merely dismisses this and asks for money.<ref name=":0" /> His selfishness goes in pair with an incredibly self-serving view of the world. Joshu asserts that he has a sort of romantic relationship with [[Yasuho Hirose]], calling her "[his] Yasuho" (at the same time ignoring the fact that Yasuho looks down on him and tries to get away from him at every occasion). He interprets Yasuho's gesture of giving him twice as many {{W|Mochi|mochis}} as Josuke as a sign of her loving him "twice as much" and readily misinterprets Yasuho's words as a solicitation. Moreover, when he finally notices the many instances in which [[Milagro Man]]'s money gets him even more money, he easily dismisses it as him being lucky and even congratulating himself. In fact, he is mildly arrogant and considers himself as someone on whom everybody counts.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 77}}</ref> However, Joshu harbors some insecurities in private: acknowledging that he has no special talents or achievements, Joshu feels uncertain about his worth.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}</ref> After his father and big brother seemingly die, Joshu also blames himself for not having been able to protect his family and punches himself out of guilt.<ref name="JJL101">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 101}}</ref><br />
<br />
Joshu has shown to be superficial and spendthrift. After stealing money from Zaihei Nigatake, Joshu indulges in a shopping spree, wastefully spending it for things such as a luxurious wristwatch, buying nine seats at the movies just so he can sit alone in the center, or going to a hostess club flicking miscellaneous things into the women's chests, openly stating that he prefers women with large breasts. He also wastes money on merchandise of the idol [[Rena Nanami]].<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Joshu seems to easily distrust many people and organizations. He has stated a disbelief in God, that the prospect of flying in an airplane frightens him, and has a reluctance to drink or eat pancakes made with milk a day older than its printed expiration date, comparing it to crossing a rickety bridge. Likewise, he became highly suspicious of a value package of fish sausages, trying to record the length of said sausages to discover any foul play.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu_and_Hato_arguing.png|thumb|left|125px|Joshu and [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] arguing]]<br />
The only person Joshu<nowiki>'</nowiki>s been shown to fully respect is [[Jobin Higashikata]], his older brother. Joshu admires and praises Jobin's achievements and abilities, and is able to put up with Jobin's own jabs at him. He also has a roughly playful relationship with Hato. They share some bonding moments but most of their interactions are petty dispute and pranks. Joshu also interacts little with [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], acting more or less aloof toward her. During the recent events shaking the [[Higashikata Family]], Joshu did show a small degree of loyalty to his family. After the family's orchard burned down, Joshu seriously proposed that they convert the estate into a matsutake mushroom hunting tour or a bamboo spring hunting tour so that they would have a some income.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 77}}, p12 - 13</ref> When Tsurugi truly fell ill from the [[Rock Disease]], he had no idea what to do but at least tried to cheer up and motivate Norisuke in finding a solution together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 93}}, p17-18</ref> When Yasuho's life was in danger, it is implied that Joshu disobeyed Jobin's orders and actually acted to save Yasuho from his older brother, pushing the phone in which Paisley Park was in near a power outlet while Jobin planned to kill it.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 95}}, p41-43</ref> After Norisuke and Jobin seemingly die before his eyes, Joshu ultimately gathers the will to act and comes out to save Yasuho and perform an [[Equivalent Exchange]] to save her, although he doesn't fully realize the extent of what he has to sacrifice.<ref name="JJL101" /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Nut King Call}}<br />
<br />
Joshu's Stand, Nut King Call, allows him to easily disassemble or fuse objects and people by planting nuts and bolts in them. These nuts and bolts act as physical objects that can be seen and felt by non stand users, the bolts themselves have been shown to cause no pain to the target when fused into them or when detaching pieces of them. The fusing or dismembering can be either permanent or temporary based on Joshu's wishes. Nut King Call was originally activated subconsciously but over the course of JoJolion, Joshu has learned to be more proficient in his use of his stand. <br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Prior to the events of ''[[JoJolion]]'', Joshu presumably lived a normal life, being unaware of every supernatural phenomenon in Morioh. During his youth, Joshu became friends with [[Yasuho Hirose]], with whom he eventually fell in love. Joshu applied to study Sociology in college, noted by Yasuho as ironic given his lack of social skills.<ref name="JJLC2">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}</ref> He and [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] also kissed once.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, p.1 JoJo's Colored Adventure translation.</ref><br />
<br />
===JoJolion (2011)===<br />
====Meeting Josuke====<br />
[[File:joshu meets josuke.png|thumb|Joshu attacks Josuke upon seeing Yasuho with him]]<br />
When [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] rescues [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] from under the rubble at the [[Wall Eyes]], Joshu immediately misunderstands the situation and tries to attack Josuke with a rock out of jealousy. He is quickly taken out by Josuke, who uses [[Soft & Wet]] to plunder Joshu's eyesight.<ref name="JJLC1P31-32">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, pp.31-32</ref> Joshu is later seen at the hospital, having received the same bite marks on his leg that Josuke had. Joshu is jealous to see Yasuho with Josuke, but reassures himself by believing that she loves him more since she gave him a bigger box of {{MI|Sesame Honey Dumplings}}.<ref name="JJLC2P26">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}, p.26</ref> <br />
<br />
The [[Higashikata Family]] welcomes Josuke among them, to Joshu's frustration. What more, Josuke is given Joshu's room while Joshu is moved to another room. [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] shuts him up by handing him money. The family decides to take a commemorative photo and Joshu is livid to see Josuke take Yasuho's hand and bring her close thus he mentions that Jobin is absent, making Norisuke cancel the photo. <br />
<br />
Joshu tries to acclimate himself with Josuke's presence. One morning, Josuke borrows Joshu's razor and shaves using [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles; Hato and Joshu's faces end up being covered in his hair as a result.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 11}}</ref> Later, Joshu surprises Josuke holding his clothes and thinks that he is stealing money from him. Refusing to hear Josuke, Joshu slaps him and prepares to use a knife on Josuke but Norisuke intervenes and defuses the situation.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}</ref><br />
<br />
====[["Shakedown Road" (story arc)|"Shakedown Road"]]====<br />
[[File:josuke joshu in shakedown road.png|thumb|left|Josuke & Joshu are targeted by Shakedown Road's people]]<br />
The next day, at the breakfast table, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] for a cell phone as well as the chance to go to school. Norisuke agrees but orders Joshu to escort him. Joshu tests Josuke with a trigonometric problem, which he solves, before Joshu asks him to walk with him to a different high school as a favor. Josuke and Joshu travel to [[Shakedown Road]], known for its community of hustlers. Joshu hopes to record himself being robbed in order to complain with evidence to the police for an earlier crime. Arriving there, Joshu unknowingly breaks a child's "compact" toy before her mother demands compensation; as does Josuke a turtle tank in a nearby store window, apparently killing the turtles inside; for which the store owner extorts Josuke for ¥20,000 and a plan to pay off ¥330,000. Joshu captures the event with his phone; discovering that Josuke had stepped on leaves, rushed almost instantly to the tank, and then back, unaware. This intrigues Joshu.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three thugs then confront Josuke and accuse Josuke of having made one drop his cell phone into a puddle. Watching another recording just made, Josuke sees himself again slide backward, knock into the man, then return to his original position, again unaware. The men propose that Josuke deliver a package underneath a nearby flower pot to a nearby woman as compensation. Having been set up to exchange an illegal substance, the two are soon arrested by a pair of police officers also observing.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu awakens nkc.png|thumb|Joshu discovers his Stand, Nut King Call]]<br />
Meanwhile, Joshu has realized how the scattered gingko leaves are responsible for instantaneously transporting people and objects. He positions himself to intercept their exchange of money and seizes an envelope before running away. The dealers notice Joshu's sleight and give chase, easily catching up using the ginkgo leaves. A thug prepares to beat him but a nut and screw suddenly materialize on one of his hands. Confused; the man unscrews it, causing his hand to detach from his wrist. Panic rises among them as his other hand falls and more screws form, before Joshu's Stand, [[Nut King Call]], is fully revealed. Joshu escapes. Catching his breath in a playground, Joshu is happy to have outwitted everyone and expresses some sympathy for Josuke. However, he discovers that his stolen money is in fact composed of leaves.<br />
<br />
====[[Paper Moon Deception (story arc)|Paper Moon Deception]]====<br />
Later, Joshu notices that Josuke has used his phone to call [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. He seeks Josuke and confronts him, unaware that Josuke is under the effects of [[Paper Moon King]]. Josuke is left confused about who is screaming at him. Soon after, Joshu calls Yasuho. However, Yasuho too is affected by [[Paper Moon King]] too and mistakes Joshu for Josuke. Yasuho hugs Joshu and tells him that she was waiting for him, which makes Joshu ecstatic about this situation. The misunderstanding escalates until Joshu thinks that Yasuho wants to have sex and he brings her to an unoccupied public toilet. Joshu takes off his pants and begins to undress Yasuho but Yasuho smashes a cistern lid against his skull, taking him out.<br />
<br />
Joshu would later wake up and misremember the incident, claiming to Josuke that they were having a moment.<br />
<br />
====[[Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (story arc)|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation]]====<br />
[[File:josuke beetle match.png|thumb|left|Joshu witnesses Josuke and Jobin's beetle fight]]<br />
When [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] returns from his business trip to Southeast Asia and brings everyone gifts, Joshu receives a fake lobster, while the rest of the [[Higashikata Family]] seemingly receive funnier gifts. He mockingly asks [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] what he's received only to be told that Josuke's been given a precious wristwatch and a rare beetle. At the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata's]], the family members are having fun showing each other the strange gifts [[Jobin]] got for them. [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] asks if he can go to Jobin's room, saying he needs advice for raising his stag beetle. Joshu subsequently accompanies Josuke to Jobin's room. Josuke inspects the live beetles, and pointing at one Palawanicus, nonchalantly mentions that his Palawanicus could beat it in a straight fight. Joshu is angry at his conceitedness but Jobin is interested and challenges Josuke to a beetle fight. Josuke uses the opportunity to raise the stacks with a bet. The first round begins between the two Palawanicus. At first, Jobin's beetle gets the upper hand due to its sharpened mandibles and planted female pheromones from a brush, making it push Josuke's beetle to the border of the arena. The tables are turned when Josuke releases the pheromones he planted in the soft rush plants with his bubbles. Josuke's beetle then makes Jobin's beetle flee out of the arena. A frustrated Jobin shaves off his left eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Despite his loss, Jobin is enjoying himself and challenges Josuke to another beetle fight, and again Josuke accepts. Moreover, Jobin orders his brother to cheer Josuke on, which Joshu accepts. Josuke then proposes to bet the Lamborghini Jobin owns. Jobin accepts and decides to use a Rosenbergi beetle. As the match begins, Jobin tells Josuke that if he wins, he is allowed to lick Josuke's eyeball. The Palawanicus' superior size and weight enables it to push the Rosenbergi to the border of the ring. However, the Rosenbergi suddenly moves in an unnaturally precise manner, knocking the Palawanicus over and biting off one leg. The Palawanicus is almost pushed over the border as Josuke reads from an encyclopedia that stag beetles instinctively play dead when feeling strong vibrations at their legs. Intrigued that the Rosenbergi could exploit this weakness, Josuke secretly deduces that Jobin could in fact remotely command it. As the Rosenbergi chomps off another leg, Josuke notices liquid oozing from its head. The Palawanicus falls from the ring, but since the clock went over 45 seconds, Josuke has not lost.<br />
<br />
Before the second bout, Josuke secretly plunders the scent from Jobin's paintbrush and then inquires about the liquid. Jobin reveals that it's wax, that when melted will cause convulsions in the beetle and eventually kill it, but not before Jobin wins. As the second round begins, Josuke pops the bubbles that plundered the air around this paintbrush, and is baffled to discover that the paintbrush has exuded a temperature as high as 60&nbsp;°C. As the Rosenbergi slowly overwhelms the Palawanicus with its precise movement, Josuke witnesses a faint apparition of [[Speed King|Jobin's Stand]]. Josuke then realizes that the beetle fight has been a front for a Stand battle. Suddenly Joshu knocks his foot on the tank where the hornet was killed and asks where the lower half of it's body with the stinger went. The abdomen is shown to be near Josuke who is now showing confidence as the Rosenbergi goes mad and convulses. Josuke had planted some of the hornet's poison in Jobin's brush, which eventually killed his beetle, making Josuke the winner. Josuke takes the key and manages to escape even if Jobin wants to interrogate him. Joshu accuses Josuke of wanting the Lamborghini to check its event data recorder but Jobin doubts it. They do check the garage but see nothing suspicious.<br />
<br />
====[[Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home (story arc)|Hato Brought her Boyfriend Home]]====<br />
[[File:joshu melted.png|thumb|Joshu is melted by Damo's Vitamin C]]<br />
One day, [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] brings her first boyfriend home. The boyfriend is revealed to be a short and overweight man named [[Tamaki Damo]] which greatly amuses Joshu. His amusement eventually turns into dismay as Damo is shown to be extremely awkward and balding even. Joshu is made to serve some champagne to the guest and Joshu notices that his bracelet have slipped out of his wrist. Damo asks where the bathrooms are, and Joshu tells him to go to the door on the right in the corridor. However, Joshu sees Damo briefly entering the room on the left, the pantry. Suspicious, Joshu checks in the room and sees that the cabinet where the CCTV system is stored has been broken. He touches the cabinet but soon realizes that his body is abnormally soft. Before he can call for help, Joshu trips into the sink where the water washes him away.<br />
<br />
However, Damo is soon defeated by Hato, assisted by [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Joshu eventually comes out of the sewer, unharmed.<br />
<br />
====[[Milagro Man (story arc)|Milagro Man]]====<br />
[[File:joshu with money.png|thumb|Joshu acquires a large sum of money]]<br />
Two weeks prior to [[Kaato Higashikata]]'s release, Joshu asks for money from his father [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] as he wishes to buy idol items. After the meet-and-greet, Joshu spends time choosing the goodies he wants to buy, only to be cut off by a [[Zaihei Nigatake|fellow fan]] who already chose what he wanted. Upset, Joshu realizes that this man left his wallet on the counter and steals it just as the man returns to find his wallet. In the restroom, Joshu steals all the cash inside the wallet and the cash card, withdrawing {{MI|The Milagro Man's Money|500,000 yen}} from his victim's bank account after correctly guessing the code. Happy to have outsmarted his victim, Joshu indulges himself in a shopping spree, trying to buy an expensive wristwatch, several movie tickets for one showing, and eating in a luxurious restaurant. At the same time, due to many coincidences, Joshu doesn't actually lose his money, but accumulates more and more as he tries to spend it. Thinking that he is lucky, Joshu doesn't pay much attention to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:joshu with too much money.png|thumb|left|Joshu is eventually overwhelmed by the amount of cursed money he has]]<br />
However, when he tries to spend his money in a bar, the manager and several security guards interrogate him about the money. To Joshu's surprise, the owner is furious that he is trying to give him the money and mentions a "[[Milagro Man]]". For unknown reasons, the owner forces more money into Joshu's pocket and tries to beat him up. Joshu uses [[Nut King Call]] to fight back and flees. Joshu eventually notices that the staff put even more money inside his bag, making him feel suspicious. Nervous to have so much money and realizing that whenever he tries to spend his money, he instead receives more, Joshu examines the bills but sees nothing unusual. He decides to gamble in a boat race and wins 3.1 million yen. At first happy, Joshu then notices that the money inside his bag has somehow increased, making it impossible to close. Anxious that someone could discover his money, Joshu tries to hide it inside a coin locker. As he pushes the money inside, Joshu sees that the immatriculation of the bills all finish with "13R". The locker breaks down, letting some of the money fly away, but all the bystander then return the money without asking questions. Joshu then tries to take a taxi home, but the taxi driver then tries to return the money. Joshu insists that he keeps the cash, and the two eventually struggle to have the other one take the money. Joshu accidentally burns one of the bills and sees it multiplying at high speed and to his horror, the money begins to cover him.<br />
[[File:joshu beats up Zaihei.png|thumb|Joshu passes the money back to Zaihei]]<br />
Joshu wakes up on his home's couch, thinking that he's merely dreamed the past events. However when he returns to his room, it is flooded with money which falls into him. Joshu tracks down his victim, named Zaihei Nigatake, and blames him for what's happening to him. Zaihei, grateful toward Joshu for taking his "curse", explains everything to him. This cursed money which never goes away from its owner is said to have belonged to an arms dealer named the Milagro Man. The Milagro Man lost a lawsuit and went mad, killing his whole family and setting his mansion on fire, burning everything except a single scorched bill. The curse remained inside the money and two years ago, Zaihei unwittingly took the curse in Europe and returned to Japan, living hell waiting for someone to take the curse. Zaihei advises Joshu to have someone take the money and try to destroy it to pass the curse completely. When Zaihei takes a bottle of juice and opens it, Joshu reveals that he planted some of the money inside the wrapping. When Zaihei opened it, he unwittingly tore the bills inside, and he sees the money appearing around him and burying him. Zaihei begs Joshu, but the latter departs, cleared of the curse. On his way home, Joshu melancholically ponders his true worth in the world.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 58|Dawn of the Higashikata Household]]====<br />
[[File:kaato meets her family.png|thumb|left|Kaato reintroduces herself to her family]]<br />
One day, the matriarch [[Kaato Higashikata]] returns. Kaato, berating Norisuke for having never mentioned her, comments on how [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], Joshu and [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] have grown, exposing herself as their mother. Norisuke rebukes Kaato, saying that Kaato should have called to tell him that she was freed, but Kaato justifies herself that she wanted to see her children as soon as possible after 15 years in prison. Finally, Hato explains that she murdered a child. Unfazed by the revelation of her crime, Kaato demands that she has compensation for her time in prison. Daiya, curious about Kaato, is told by her mother to come hug her, but Joshu pushes a chair and makes Kaato trip. Joshu then begins to antagonize Kaato, then tricks her into undressing herself, exposing his skepticism about Kaato's relationship with the family. [[Space Trucking|Kaato's cards]] fall over, causing a curious Joshu to pick them up, but a chair suddenly appears from one of them, impaling Joshu in the jaw. Furious, Kaato scolds Joshu for underestimating her and is outraged that her love for her family isn't returned. Kaato leaves, offended.<br />
<br />
====[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]====<br />
Joshu is seen at the Higashikata House, having breakfast with his family as Jobin buries [[Ozon Baby]] in the garden. He measures the size and weight of the fish sausages the family is eating in order to find out if the company making them has made them smaller in exchange for having more sausages per package. To his dismay, the family ignores his "investigation" and eats all of the sausages. After Ozon Baby is activated and the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata household]] is affected by the Stand's ability, Joshu is seen bleeding from the face and unconscious on the couch alongside his father.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 77|Equivalent Exchange and the University Hospital]]====<br />
The family's orchard is burned down but the attack on the family stops. Joshu angrily yells at [[Rai Mamezuku]], whom he doesn't know, but the misunderstanding is soon cleared. He accuses him of setting the orchard on fire, but his accusation is quickly shot down by Norisuke. The family, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and Rai discuss what has happened and what to do next. As [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] worries about the family's livelihood, Joshu proposes an idea of how the family could make money: a {{W| Matsutake|Matsutake mushroom}} hunting tour (turned into a bamboo shoot hunting tour in the Spring), as well as adopting {{W| Red panda|red pandas}} and building a go-kart track. His fantasizing is interrupted by [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], who notifies him that everyone else has already left.<br />
<br />
====The New Locacaca====<br />
{{See also|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
On the day of the harvest, a string of events result in the [[Higashikata Family]] catching [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] trying to drown [[Paisley Park]]. Joshu is forced to see his family tearing itself apart as [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] exposes Jobin's murder of [[Ojiro Sasame]] and Jobin induces a heat stroke in Norisuke with [[Speed King]]. Unlike his sisters, he has the presence of mind to help Paisley Park escape the house, giving [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]] a chance to survive. Jobin doesn't act on this. Eventually, the family sees that Jobin is victim of Akefu's Stand attack.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joshu loses arm.jpeg|thumb|Joshu loses his arm after using a new Locacaca with Yasuho]]<br />
Dismayed by the disasters that have struck his family, Joshu still comes out of the house with the [[Locacaca]] in his hands and declares that he will save [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. Blaming himself for not being able to protect his family from the calamities that have struck them, Joshu repeatedly punches himself. Yasuho tells him to seek [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] or [[Rai Mamezuku]], but Joshu dismisses these options as they may be under attack themselves and he probably won't be able to contact them. Joshu then shows the potted [[Locacaca]] to Yasuho, planning to use the [[Equivalent Exchange]] properties of the fruit to save his loved ones, beginning with Yasuho. At first, she doesn't want to eat a fruit because they're not ripe yet but the biggest fruit looks ripe. The two hear a noise but Joshu dismisses it as the wind. Yasuho accepts to perform an equivalent exchange and explains the details to Joshu. Too enthusiastic to realize what he's about to sacrifice, Joshu immediately accepts and fantasizes about the bond they're about to make. He sticks himself to Yasuho because he believes they need physical contact, which frustrates her greatly. When Yasuho eats the fruit, their legs temporarily merge, allowing the exchange. Yasuho's arm regrow but Joshu is shocked so see his arm shrink into a stub. [[File:Fail.png|thumb|left|Joshu attempts to attack Tooru]]<br />
While Yasuho prepares for battle, Joshu panics at the loss of his right arm because he wasn't fully aware of what he would sacrifice. Joshu quickly changes his mind due to the consequences of the [[Equivalent Exchange]], and demands to have a second [[Equivalent Exchange]] with the only Locacaca left to have his arm back. However, Yasuho refuses, stating that the fruit is for [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. This enrages Joshu, who advances to attack Yasuho, even summoning [[Nut King Call]] to fight. However, he trips on the potted Locacaca and falls to the ground.<br />
<br />
[[File:The_Thought_Counts.png|thumb|right|Joshu's tantrum meets a gutter]]<br />
Tooru then appears to ask Yasuho to hand him the potted Locacaca. Regaining his senses, Joshu threatens Tooru for daring to speak so casually to her and summons Nut King Call. The three of them see something big falling towards them from the sky. Tooru grabs Yasuho, insisting that he must take the Locacaca before it is swept up in a calamity, which enrages Joshu. Joshu tries to attack Tooru, but a leaf cuts off two of his fingers. Overwhelmed, by the pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the pot. At the plane slide panel comes dangerously close to Yasuho, Joshu promises to somehow protect her. As the panel nearly reaches Yasuho, [[Paisley Park]] suddenly comes out of Joshu's cell phone, bringing one of Josuke's [[Soft & Wet|bubbles]] with it. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru and pops inside of his abdomen, saving Yasuho from the calamity. Over the phone, Josuke instructs Yasuho to point her phone at Tooru once more until she realizes that Tooru ate the other Locacaca plant and is now walking towards her. Joshu attempts to stop Tooru when he starts sprinting but gets struck on the head by the house's rain gutter due to the calamity. Yasuho finally faces her phone at Tooru's direction and is hit by the invisible bubble. Meanwhile, [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]] strangely appears inside the house. He lies still on the ground as Kaato begins to pin down Tooru with her ability and use his body for an equivalent exchange with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] who was hidden in her cards.<br />
<br />
While Joshu is incapacitated, the exchange is successful with the help of Kaato's [[Space Trucking]] - Tooru completely disintegrates into the air and Tsurugi recovers, although Kaato is revealed to have been stabbed during when she crushed the branch due to Wonder of U's ability. With the family curse broken, the Higashikata family attend to Norisuke, who is in an incapacitated state, while an ambulance arrives in the estate. Joshu is taken away by the ambulance, still unconscious.<br />
<br />
===Aftermath===<br />
Days later, Joshu completely recovers, and the Higashikata family go to a cafe to order a cake as a celebration for [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s discharge the next day. Josuke and Yasuho are later invited. While choosing a cake made by the Higashikata parlor, everyone breaks down into tears, including [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]], [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]], [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]]. Tsurugi then insists Josuke to choose a cake. With the family reunited once again, Yasuho Hirose sheds a tear before exiting the room.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]: Joshu's adoptive brother. Joshu initially attacks him during their first meeting, fueled by his jealousy after seeing him nude beside Yasuho, before he is subdued by Josuke himself. Joshu retains a powerful sense of insult after the Higashikata family adopts Josuke and his relationship with Josuke remains neutral later on. When the two pass through [[Shakedown Road]] while travelling to school together, Josuke exerts an arms-length reception of Joshu, who persistently curses and discriminates against him. However, during the end of the [[The Radio Gaga Incident (story arc)|Radio Gaga Incident arc]], he seems to fully accept Josuke as part of the Higashikata family, alongside the rest of his siblings.<br />
<br />
*[[Norisuke Higashikata IV]]: Joshu's loving father. While Norisuke spoils his youngest son like with his siblings, Joshu often exploits this, straightforwardly asking his father to give him money to attend a meet-and-greet with his idol.<ref name="JJLC56P5">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 56}}, p.5</ref> Norisuke considers Joshu a problem child and often scolds him for his attitude.<br />
<br />
*[[Jobin Higashikata]]: Joshu looks up to his eldest brother with respect. When Jobin shows Josuke his stag beetle collection, Joshu displays an extensive amount of knowledge on the creatures, implying that his brother may have taught him before. He sides with his brother during his beetle match against his adoptive brother.<br />
<br />
*[[Hato Higashikata]]: Unlike with his other siblings, he and Hato share the most quips and antics. They have a playful sibling relationship, as seen from their banters in the household. Joshu likes to tease Hato and in return, she also picks at him. When Hato introduces her boyfriend, Damo, to the family, Joshu wastes no time to devise his plans to tease Damo of his mannerisms and even attempts to fully expose his bald spot by shooting a champagne cork. Nevertheless, the brother and sister love each other unconditionally and both care for the other as siblings.<br />
<br />
*[[Daiya Higashikata]]: Joshu's youngest sister. They do not talk with each other much in the household, save for a few family interactions.<br />
<br />
*[[Kaato Higashikata]]: Because of their mother having been arrested before they were mature enough to know what had happened to her, both Joshu and Daiya have only known her from the words of their father, who told them that she either died or went missing. As a result, they do not recognize Kaato as their mother during their visit to the Higashikata household after her release from prison. True to his foolish behavior, Joshu makes his own mother trip on a chair and even attempts to undress her. Furious, Kaato uses her mysterious card Stand ability and impales Joshu on the jaw with a chair that appears under one of the cards.<br />
<br />
===Friends and Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Yasuho Hirose]]: Joshu's childhood friend whom he is also in love with. Despite of Yasuho constantly rejecting his feelings, he seems to pursue her no matter what, often with the intention to make Josuke jealous. When she was under [[Paper Moon King]]'s effects, she mistakes Joshu for Josuke and he interprets her comfortableness with him at the time as her wanting to have sex. However, Joshu realizes something is wrong and stops, only to be knocked out by Yasuho. Later, devastated by his family's tragedy, Joshu tries to protect an injured Yasuho during the calamity cast by Tooru and his Wonder of U.<br />

<br />
==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Joshu appears as a stage hazard and Situation Finish in the Wall Eyes stage. If one of the fighters is knocked down on the "hazard" indication area, Yasuho Hirose backs away in fright, causing Joshu to appear and run through the stage, knocking anyone who gets in his way down with a rock until he reaches her. Afterward, he can be heard having a conversation with Yasuho in the background.<br />
<br />
As a Situation Finish, the losing side is knocked out near Yasuho, causing her to scream. Joshu becomes angry, walks up to the downed character, and finishes them off with the aforementioned rock (similar to how he attacks Josuke during their first encounter at the very beginning of Part 8).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
Joshu makes his first playable appearance in ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven'' and was confirmed for the game alongside [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke (JoJolion)]], [[Narciso Anasui]], and [[Enrico Pucci]] with [[C-Moon]].<br />
<br />
Due to Joshu's lack of combat experience, having only recently discovered his Stand at the time of the game's development and release, his skillset is somewhat limited compared to other characters. His inclusion might simply be a result of Josuke lacking a proper partner to team up and have a Special Dual Heat Attack with. However, while sporting a low amount of abilities and skills, Joshu remains a viable fighter regardless. Joshu also has the slowest base movement speed in the entire game, but certain conditions can increase it to the fastest as well.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - What a stupid thing to say.''': Joshu stops to make an irritating comment, bragging about his and Yasuho's relationship. This forces opponents within range to lock onto him and automatically unleash a Powerful Attack, and will also boost the Dual Heat Gauge by a considerable amount. Due to this effect, Joshu can easily counterattack if he guards or dodges his target's inevitable attack, and the ability is especially effective against opponents actively attacking his partner. However, Joshu himself is vulnerable upon activating the skill until he utters the first few words of the phrase, and his opponents will of course still land their attacks successfully if he does not defend in time.<br />
*'''Whoa! I did that!''': Joshu reaches his hand forward, and if he connects with an opponent, he will lift them up by their neck with one hand as metallic nuts fall from their body. He then punches them with his other hand and sends them flying, leaving them '''Panicked''' for a short period of time. While Panicked, opponents cannot use any of their skills, nor can they guard, altogether rendering them especially vulnerable. The effect will be lifted early if Joshu is hit by certain attacks or a DHA.<br />
*'''The Screw''': Joshu trips backwards onto the ground as Nut King Call advances forward with its arm outstretched. If NKC connects with an opponent, it will produce massive bolts that stick out from their bodies, paralyzing them and leaving them open to further attacks. Quickly moving the movement stick around can shorten the time bound.<br />
*'''I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!''': Joshu begins hysterically running around at high speeds while holding himself. The skill's cooldown gauge then changes into a depleting timer; if Joshu successfully empties the gauge via his running, he will stop and laugh uncontrollably. This triggers multiple beneficial effects: Joshu gains a temporary boost to attack power and Dual Heat Gauge charge rate, all of his skills will be instantly taken off cooldown at that moment (including EX skills), and a Flash Cancel and Flash Burst is restored if they have been consumed. Joshu can interrupt his run with any action without canceling the skill; the timer's depletion will only slow and Joshu will resume running if no actions are taken afterward. However, if Joshu is hit by or blocks an attack, or initiates a Dual Combo or DHA, the skill will deactivate completely and the cooldown will begin from wherever the timer gauge leaves off.<br />
*'''EX - The Screw''': The skill activates quicker and Joshu is invincible until Nut King Call begins moving. NKC will move a slight distance further, extend its arm's reach, and deal more damage.<br />
*'''EX - I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!''': Joshu runs at an even faster speed. The timer gauge will deplete at a considerably faster rate, and will also not slow down upon him taking action.<br />
**Of note is that if Joshu has a Soul Succession active, the effects of the movement speed boosts are multiplicative, causing him to accelerate into a superhuman sprint. At his level of speed, he is able to traverse one end of any stage to the other in the few seconds the ability lasts, and he possesses the fastest running speed of any character in the game bar none as long as the skill is active. The speed increase is such that Joshu can even outpace most characters' Homing Dash, making it nigh impossible for any adversaries to catch him without the use of fast projectiles or traps.<br />
<br />
====JoJolities====<br />
<br />
*'''She even lets me give her kisses...''': Joshu must use his Style Action 3 times. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Wait... I'm the one doing this! Yeaaaah!!''': Joshu must connect "Whoa! I did that!". (200 Points)<br />
*'''Gross alert! Gross alert!''': Joshu must break a Panicked opponent's health gauge. (300 Points)<br />
*'''He's a surprisingly good and honest guy...''': Joshu must finish his run after activating "I did it! Me! Ahahahahaha!". (500 Points)<br />
*'''What an unbelievably crazy battle!''': Joshu must Retire an opponent without losing a single health gauge. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
====Dual Heat Attacks====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo - Wait... I'm the one doing this! Yeaaaah!!''': Joshu, sitting on the ground, realizes Nut King Call has started acting on its own. The opponent suddenly has nuts and bolts embedded into their body when NKC stands up. As the nuts begin automatically undoing themselves from their bolts, the opponent violently falls apart and is soon completely dismantled.<br />
*'''With [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] - We're friends, right?''': Joshu and Josuke discuss their "friendship" status as [[Soft & Wet]] delivers a punch that downs the opponent. Joshu and Nut King Call hastily move in to finish them off, but fails to notice a bubble by Soft & Wet that steals the ground's friction, making him slip and spin out of control. Accelerating to high-speeds, Joshu is only stopped when he inevitably crashes into the downed opponent as Josuke humorously looks on.<br />
<br />
====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]====<br />
<br />
He is paired with [[Diavolo]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, having been placed in the F Block series of battles to be incorporated into the main Tournament. They were eliminated in the first round by [[Bruno Bucciarati]] and [[Trish Una]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*In the [[Ultra Jump]] release of [[JJL Chapter 57]], the text on the cover states that Joshu is 19 years old. However, this is not mentioned in [[JJL Volume 14]] and onwards, which lists him as being 18 on the summary pages.<br />

{{Quote|This is a story about breaking a ''curse''... This mysterious boy buried in the ground, who in the world is he?|[[Yasuho Hirose]] about [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]], [[JJL Chapter 1]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''''JoJolion'''''|ジョジョリオン|JoJorion}} is the award-winning eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', serialized in ''[[Ultra Jump]]'' from May 19, 2011 to August 19, 2021.<br />
<br />
The story begins in 2011 and follows [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]], a young man afflicted by retrograde amnesia, in his search to uncover his identity in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh Town]], a coastal Japanese town affected by the {{W|2011 Tohoku earthquake|Tohoku earthquake}}. However, his digging pulls him and his [[Higashikata Family#JoJolion|adoptive family]] into the unfinished business between his [[Josefumi Kujo|previous]] [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|life]] and an impending [[Rock Humans|inhuman]] threat.<br />
<br />
''JoJolion'' represents the second part of the series set in the ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'' Universe.<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
===An Amnesiac Man===<br />
====Unearthing====<br />
<br />
:{{Main|JJL Chapter 1}}, Welcome to Morioh<br />
{{Main|Soft & Wet (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:JosukeFound.png|thumb|Yasuho finds a mysterious individual buried near the Wall Eyes]]<br />
[[Yasuho Hirose]], hiding from [[Joshu Higashikata]] near [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh Town]]'s [[Wall Eyes]], discovers a [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man in a sailor cap]] half buried underground. After she calls an ambulance, Yasuho notices a [[Joestar Birthmark|star-shaped birthmark]] on his shoulder surrounded by a fresh bite mark. Moreover, the man asks for his name. After she pulls him out of the ground, she notices the man to be completely naked, and that is when Yasuho discovers he has four testicles. Then a fight erupts between Joshu and the amnesiac, during which a [[Soft & Wet|soap bubble]] emerges from the sailor's shoulder and seemingly makes Joshu's eyes pop. The man faints, before they are all taken to hospital.<br />
<br />
In narration, Yasuho explains how the Wall Eyes rose concurrent with a version of the {{W|2011 Tohoku earthquake}}. Massive, rocky protrusions marked with long, vertical holes, they rise between the coastline and the mainland, blocking highways, waterways, gas and power lines.<br />
<br />
====The First Clue====<br />
[[File:Jojolion Protagonist (Chapter 4).png|thumb|150px|Soft & Wet appears|left]]<br />
Later at the hospital, Yasuho meets the young man again and he explains to her that he is amnesiac. Yasuho offers to help him and by investigating his [[Minor Items#Josuke's Hat|hat]], they manage to seemingly learn his identity: [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]. However, Yasuho feels this name doesn't fit him and instead nicknames him "Josuke". The duo goes to Kira's apartment, where Josuke discovers a [[Kidnapped Girl|naked woman]] in the bathtub. Yasuho and Josuke try to ask the woman who she is, but she doesn't answer. Yasuho discovers a compromising [[Minor Items#Ojiro's Traps|photo album]] containing pictures of the woman having erotic bondage with what appeared to be Josuke. Convinced that Josuke is a sadist, Yasuho leaves in despair. Moreover, Josuke notices that he is under attack: each time he injures his hand or foot, it falls under the control of an aggressor in the flat above him. Revealing his Stand [[Soft & Wet]] and with Yasuho's timely return, Josuke manages to catch his opponent.<br />
<br />
The attacker presents himself as [[Ojiro Sasame]], a surfer seeking revenge against [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] and who confirms that Josuke isn't Kira although he bears a passing resemblance. Sasame tells of a psychopathic Kira, who in the past by an obscure power and for little reason convinced Sasame to eat his own fingers. Josuke sees a photo of Kira near the Wall Eyes and comes back to where he emerged to uncover the body of the real Yoshikage Kira, who died of cardiac arrest three days prior. Yasuho secretly obtains the autopsy results and discovers something else: Kira's corpse is missing both of his testicles.<br />

[[File:Jjl_color_v02_028.jpg|thumb|left|Josuke adopted into the Higashikata Family]]<br />
Yasuho introduces Josuke to the head of the Higahikata family, [[Norisuke Higashikata IV]], owner of a fruit importation business inherited from his grandfather [[Norisuke Higashikata I]]. Lent the Higashikata name, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] is welcomed into Norisuke's home and is instructed to guard the youngest daughter [[Daiya Higashikata|Daiya]]. As Norisuke ominously warns him to obey his word, Yasuho is escorted out by the family's maid [[Kei Nijimura|Nijimura]] and warned not to return.<br />
<br />
As everyone leaves, Daiya begins to flirt with Josuke and decides to play with him. Using her Stand [[California King Bed]], she steals one of Josuke's few memories every time he fusses over her. To make things fair, she tells Josuke that if he manages to make her step on his shadow, the memories will be returned to him, although her knowledge and perceptiveness make the endeavour nearly impossible for him. Meanwhile, Yasuho discovers from a DNA test that Josuke and Kira are practically the same person. Josuke eventually tricks Daiya into stepping on his shadow cast from the light of an open refrigerator. Josuke decides to not hold a grudge and enters Norisuke's study, following the symbol he's seen on Kira's wrist.<br />
<br />
Josuke discovers a book in the study marked with the same symbol: a record of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]]. On the front cover he discovers a family tree for the Higashikata family, and that the first [[Norisuke Higashikata]]'s daughter married [[Johnny Joestar]], a direct ancestor of the dead Yoshikage Kira. From the family tree, Josuke makes plans to seek out Kira's only living relative: his mother [[Holy Joestar-Kira]]. With Yasuho's help, Josuke discovers that she is a doctor at the local T.G. University Hospital and both agree to meet here. Also, they discover that she is currently a patient. On his way to the hospital, Josuke notices that his GPS is malfunctioning and that a motorcyclist [[Born This Way|Stand]] is stalking him, appearing suddenly and attacking with a freezing wind before disappearing just as quickly.<br />
<br />
The GPS is eventually revealed as Yasuho's own nascent [[Paisley Park|Stand]], which is actually helping Josuke against his assailant. Noticing that the enemy can only appear when he "opens something", Josuke manages to evade his assailant, then find and eventually defeat the user [[Kei Nijimura]]. Kei is revealed to have a [[Joestar Birthmark|star-shaped birthmark]] and to be Kira's little sister. She mistook Josuke for an enemy and tried to stop him from approaching her mother Holy; as a gesture of goodwill, Josuke promises to stay away from Holy and the two make peace.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jjl_color_v04_059.jpg|thumb|Josuke is a mix between two men!]]<br />
Privy to the supernatural properties of the soil near the [[Wall Eyes]], Kei and Josuke work out that Josuke is a mix between two men, demonstrating the process with two fruits. However, Kira's Stand was not Soft & Wet but rather [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]], leaving the identity of the other man a mystery.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Yasuho has managed to enter the hospital and meet the delirious Holy Joestar-Kira, but she is soon kicked out by security. Holy watches on as she sees Yasuho's Stand [[Paisley Park]], activate subconsciously, musing that she may be able to help her son. Paisley Park's powers ultimately lead Yasuho back into the hospital into a room right next to Holy's where she sees the extent of her mysterious illness. She lacks the ability to discern people from objects, and the doctors note that she is missing several of her vital organs and her brain has perfectly spherical voids in it, but there is no sign of surgical <br />
removal.<br />
<br />
====Shakedown Road & Johnny Joestar====<br />
<br />
:{{Main|"Shakedown Road" (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|JJL Chapter 22}}, Morioh Town: Year 1901<br />
<br />
Several days later, Norisuke asks Joshu to take Josuke down to the local high school to see if he can be enrolled there. However, the path to the high school leads them through [[Shakedown Road]], where the residents of the road somehow make Joshu and Josuke damage miscellaneous items and coerce them into compensating with increasingly more money. As a pet shop owner demands 330,000 yen in compensation for a killed rare turtle, Joshu and Josuke reluctantly become mules for a drug trade as pair of cops watch on.<br />
<br />
Josuke and Joshu separately understand how Shakedown Road works and exploit it to their advantage. Seemingly taking the money and fending off the thug with his newly awakened Stand [[Nut King Call]], Joshu sees that he's been tricked. In truth, Josuke had performed another exchange and clears his name with the policemen, also acquiring the money for the trade to reimburse to the old man. Afterward, Yasuho and Josuke respectively learn through research and the revelation of the pet shop owner that a nearby Jizo was built as a memorial to [[Johnny Joestar]] and discover the circumstances of his death.[[File:Johnnynrina.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Johnny and Rina living happily]] After the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] Johnny had married [[Rina Higashikata]] whom he met on his way to Europe. After a few years of a happy life, Rina was struck by [[Rock Disease|a mysterious disease]]: she began to lose her memories and her skin turned to stone. In his anguish, Johnny stole the [[Saint's Corpse]] and took it to Japan. Hiding the Corpse in a hole under a pine tree, Johnny brought his family here and prayed the Corpse to transfer the disease away from his wife, Johnny saw with horror that his son became ill instead. Finally, Johnny took the disease onto himself and died, his head crushed by a rock.<br />
The pet shop owner claims that his story is a mere legend, but Josuke realizes the link between the mysterious illness that afflicted Rina and the one Holy Joestar suffers from to this day.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Yasuho finds her way to the Meditation Pine at the rear of the Higashikata estate from photos in the news stories she has researched. She reads of a baby who washed up on the beach nearby on November 13, 1901, wearing a necklace. Yasuho is suddenly grabbed by a hand from inside the tree and momentarily groped in the darkness.<br />

=====Tsurugi's Prank=====<br />
Yasuho finds herself with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]], the grandchild of Norisuke. Tsurugi reveals that they are in an underground facility used by the [[Higashikata Family]]. Tsurugi and Yasuho chat, and Tsurugi reveals that he's a boy cross-dressing to thwart off a family curse. When Yasuho demands that he allows her to leave, Tsurugi pulls a prank on her. He has folded Yasuho's smartphone into a frog which leaps at her and she is suddenly put under the thrall of [[Paper Moon King]].<br />
<br />
Yasuho leaves and heads back into town, followed by Tsurugi, and discovers that she cannot distinguish between people anymore. Although she calls Josuke for help, Tsurugi neutralizes him with his power as well. After a lengthy series of misadventures, Yasuho relents and follows Tsurugi back to the playroom. Elsewhere, Josuke sees that he is no longer afflicted by Tsurugi's Stand and realizes that Yasuho was its main target.<br />
<br />
Through the slot in the door of the second underground room, somebody spies on Tsurugi and Yasuho's return.<br />
<br />
=====Battle Against Yotsuyu Yagiyama=====<br />
Tsurugi apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand [[Paper Moon King]]. Calmed, Yasuho asks Tsurugi the purpose of the underground complex and she learns that it is dedicated to treating the mysterious illness that affects the firstborn members of the Higashikata family which slowly turns their skin to stone. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition and that Kira tried to save his mother. After Tsurugi leaves, a mysterious man named [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] appears and attacks Yasuho.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Josuke spots Tsurugi heading toward the garden and follows him, himself followed by [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]. Josuke then interrogates Norisuke to discover his intentions once and for all. Despite earlier suspicious behavior, Norisuke exposes why he doesn't mean Josuke any harm and that both he and Kira wanted to cure the [[Rock Disease]] plaguing their families. Norisuke thus hoped to learn in Josuke's memories the cure Kira supposedly found before his death.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke vs yotsuyu.png|thumb|Josuke battles Yotsuyu Yagiyama, a man who can turn into rock]]<br />
Soon the two men are attacked by miscellaneous objects that keep converging into Josuke after Yotsuyu somehow sneaks on Josuke and touches him. Josuke and Norisuke take refuge in the bunker where they learn that Yotsuyu has promised Tsurugi to give him a cure in exchange for giving Josuke away. When Josuke sees that [[Yasuho]] has been taken, he immediately gives chase with Norisuke's Stand [[King Nothing]] which tracks objects and people by their scents. While following the scent, Norisuke reveals to Josuke the Rock Disease which affects the eldest child of each generation and how and member sacrifices themselves for the child's sake. King Nothing leads Josuke and Norisuke to the coast in which they find Yasuho still unconscious. At the same time, they discover Yotsuyu and see that [[Rock Human|he somehow can turn into a rock]]. Yotsuyu attacks again with canisters of pesticides but Josuke grabs him and jumps off a cliff into the sea below. He then traps him in nets and threatens to drown him if he doesn't answer his question, but Yotsuyu remains silent before crumbling to dust. At the same time, Josuke spots a [[Locacaca|mysterious fruit]] amongst the flotsam but it soon sinks deep into the water.<br />
<br />
Josuke returns to the surface with what remains of Yotsuyu, only raising more questions than answers when examining the net full of stones. Tsurugi asks if he saw the cure Yotsuyu had promised him, and Josuke mentions the fruit.<br />
<br />

=====Jobin Higashikata's Involvement=====<br />
After some research, Norisuke reveals that Yotsuyu was impersonating someone and in reality has no identity. Meanwhile, Yasuho has been sent home. Norisuke, Josuke, and Tsurugi soon find another fruit alongside [[Iwasuke|a dog which can transform into rock]], and Norisuke makes King Nothing memorize its scent. Tsurugi adopts the dog which he dubs Iwasuke.<br />
<br />
To investigate the fruit further, Norisuke brings Josuke to his [[Higashikata Fruit Company|fruit parlor]] to examine an encyclopedia, but they are interrupted by the return of Norisuke's firstborn son [[Jobin Higashikata]]. Jobin has just returned from a trip abroad and gives Josuke a rare {{W|Dorcus titanus|Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus}} stag beetle. Overjoyed to see his eldest son, Norisuke decides to accompany him back home, and unbeknownst to him, King Nothing detects the mysterious fruit's scent on Jobin's handkerchief, a fact only Josuke notices.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke beetle match.png|thumb|Josuke challenges Jobin Higashikata to a beetle fight]]<br />
Josuke enlists Tsurugi's help and learns that he can bait Jobin through his prized beetles. Thus Josuke manipulates Jobin into starting a beetle fight with [[Joshu]] as an observer. Josuke plants female beetle pheromones on the ring and manages to win the first bout, but Jobin asks for a second bout with his car as a prize, which was Josuke's goal. During the second bout, Jobin then cheats too, unveiling a small part of his [[Speed King]]'s heat power to get the upper hand in the beetle fight but Josuke sneakily poisons Jobin's beetle and wins the car keys.<br />
<br />
During the challenge, Tsurugi has also enlisted Yasuho and made her enter the [[Higashikata House]]. After Josuke sends them the car keys with a bubble, Yasuho and Tsurugi enter the garage and investigate where Jobin has gone with his car thanks to [[Paisley Park]]. That way, they see that Jobin has given the tree for the mysterious fruit to an unknown man. Meanwhile, Jobin has begun to suspect Josuke and tries to pressure him into revealing his intention with Speed King; however, Josuke escapes. So do Yasuho and Tsurugi.<br />
<br />
=====Battle Against Aisho Dainenjiyama=====<br />
[[File:Aisho_Locacaca.jpg|thumb|left|Aisho holding a [[Locacaca|mysterious fruit]]]]<br />
Yasuho discovers the man's identity as [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]], a security guard at Morioh's baseball stadium. Using Yasuho's phone empowered by [[Paisley Park]] and folded up by [[Paper Moon King]] into a frog, the duo witness Aisho perform a [[Locacaca|fruit]] deal with an old man who miraculously regrows a lost leg. However, Aisho discovers the phone. Although the phone escapes, Aisho unleashes his [[Stand]] [[Doobie Wah!]] to chase Yasuho and Tsurugi. The automatic Doobie Wah! materializes from their own breath and relentlessly pursues them.<br />
<br />
A flashback details Aisho's past: he used to live in a house with a girlfriend, but when he revealed his true nature as a rock man, his girlfriend used one of his hibernation periods to sell the house, nearly killing him in the process when it was demolished; Aisho was saved when Yotsuyu woke him up and lamented at the loss of his house.<br />
<br />
In the present, Tsurugi retaliates by releasing a car origami that makes contact with Aisho and tricks him into mistaking a bus for Jobin, causing Aisho to be run over and die.<br />
<br />

[[File:Josuke_meets_karera.png|thumb|Josuke meets Karera Sakunami, an acquaintance of his former identity]]<br />
The next day, Yasuho finally meets up with Josuke, again. They stroll along the beach, sharing a tender moment, but another girl suddenly greets Josuke as "Se-chan", asking for a later meeting. Josuke goes to meet the girl, named [[Karera Sakunami]]. Despite her suspicious behavior, Karera is familiar with the person Josuke was, and he plays along, hiding his lost memories and Karera does reveal his name: [[Josefumi Kujo]]. Meanwhile, a pair of twins playing football, the [[A. Phex Brothers]], track Karera and attack her.<br />
<br />
The nature of [[Rock Humans]] is explained, revealing their coexistence with humanity in secret, the prevalence of Stands amongst them, and the seeming cursed interactions they have if they fall in love with a human.<br />
<br />
A short fight ensues between Josuke and the A. Phex Brothers. Josuke manages to use [[Schott Key No.2]]'s poison gas to his advantage and takes the elder brother hostage with bubbles full of poison. When the elder, soaked with gasoline, is ignited by Karera, his brother runs toward him, forgetting the bubbles which pop and envelop him in poison gas. Both Rock Men are consequently killed. After watching the fight, Karera finally realizes that Kira and Josuke had performed an equivalent exchange, and leaves Josuke be before he can ask her anything else.<br />

The mysterious [[Locacaca]] Tree is introduced, being a plant from New Guinea formally discovered by an Australian expedition in 1938. The Locacaca was used by the locals to cure various ailments while turning a random body part into stone. During World War II, all reports of the fruit disappeared and it became a mere legend.<br />
<br />
As Josuke rests in the Higashikata House and converses with Yasuho, [[Hato Higashikata|Hato]] brings her new boyfriend [[Tamaki Damo]] to meet her family. Surprisingly, Damo is unattractive and awkward, leading to an embarrassing meeting. However, the whole family is soon immobilized by Damo's [[Vitamin C]] which softens them into puddles. Damo confronts Norisuke and interrogates him in order to find who has been dismantling his [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization|organization]]. Damo then explains the context of the whole affair.[[File:Josefumi Crumbles Coloured.jpg|thumb|The tragedy of Kira and Josefumi's demise|left]]<br />
<br />
Two years ago, Yoshikage Kira discovered Aisho Dainenjiyama in his rock form by accident while working on a ship. Curious, he investigated the whole trade and discovered the [[Locacaca]]. He coincidentally met with an acquaintance, [[Josefumi Kujo|Josefumi]]. Back when he was a boy, Josefumi was saved by [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage]], who performed surgery on him. Grateful, Josefumi agreed to help Kira steal some branches from [[Aisho Dainenjiyama|Aisho]] unnoticed and subsequently grafted the branches to another tree. However, in August 19, 2011, Josefumi and Kira were caught by Damo and Yotsuyu. Kira was fatally wounded but he snuck some of [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]]'s bomb near them, causing an explosion. This allowed Josefumi to drag Kira to the hiding spot of the two fruits they had. Although he drove off the [[A. Phex Brothers]], Josefumi wasted the fruits trying to save Kira but noting their new ability to fuse, decided to fuse himself to Kira in the hopes of Kira surviving and harvesting new fruits. A rift opened and the two men were buried underground.<br />
<br />
[[File:Kaato First.png|thumb|Kaato Higashikata comes back to her family]]Back in the present, Hato confronts Damo over what he is doing but Damo takes her out to confront Josuke after Norisuke reveals Josuke's identity. Damo almost kills him but is interrupted as Josuke has transported Hato out of the house. Thanks to her [[Walking Heart]], Hato inflicts severe damage and Josuke can finish Damo off. He subsequently confirms that he is the amalgamation of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] and [[Josefumi Kujo]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Norisuke's wife [[Kaato Higashikata]] has finished her prison sentence and prepares to leave. She notably contacts her son Jobin in order to plot against Norisuke.<br />
<br />
===Interlude & Aftermath===<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Milagro Man (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|JJL Chapter 58}}, Dawn of the Higashikata Household<br />
<br />
Two weeks prior to [[Kaato Higashikata]]'s release, Joshu asks his father for some money to buy some idol goods. After the idol meet-and-greet, Joshu antagonizes a [[Zaihei Nigatake|fellow fan]] and secretly steals his wallet after he leaves it behind at the register. Joshu indulges himself in a shopping spree, and coincidentally accumulates more and more money as he tries to spend it. People actually refuse to take money from him, mentioning a mysterious [[Milagro Man]]. Discovering that the money is literally clinging to him and is burdening him more and more Joshu tracks down his victim Zaihei Nigatake. Zaihei, grateful toward Joshu for taking his "curse", explains the legend of the Milagro Man and his history with the curse. Nonetheless, Joshu tricks Zaihei into tearing one of the cursed bills and passes the curse back onto him much to Zaihei's horror. On his way home, Joshu melancholically ponders his true worth in the world.<br />
<br />
Josuke confirms his second identity, then finally sees Holy Joestar-Kira for the first time. However, her condition has deteriorated drastically and Josuke is appalled that the hospital staff doesn't take care of her. Feeling attachment toward her, he swears to find the cure and pay for Holy's treatment in the meantime.<br />
<br />
Afterward, the Higashikata family notices that their mother Kaato has returned home. Norisuke and Hato are wary of her because they know she was sent to prison for murdering a child. The meeting is ruined because Joshu and Kaato storms out of the house, still determined to have her due for protecting the family.<br />
<br />
===The New Locacaca===<br />
====Seeking the Plant Appraiser====<br />
<br />

{{Main|The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31) (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
{{Main|Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Sometime later, Josuke reveals Holy's condition to Norisuke and also that Jobin may be somehow conspiring against all of them due to his involvement in the [[Locacaca Smuggling Organization]]. Norisuke refuses to suspect Jobin but instructs Josuke to seek out his company's plant appraiser to find the branches. Kaato eavesdrops on this conversation and informs Jobin of the two's plans. Jobin in turn seeks out another Rock Human named [[Dolomite]] who agrees to attack Josuke under the belief that he will get his body back to normal, summoning up his Stand [[Blue Hawaii]]. Blue Hawaii then controls several consecutive people to try and touch Josuke so that he is controlled. Despite his best efforts, Josuke is touched by a baby. The controlled Josuke heads to the Mutsukabe Shrine, where he is interrogated by Dolomite about his goals. Once he discovers the truth, Dolomite instructs Josuke to drown himself in the pond, but Yasuho thankfully intervenes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Rai Mamezuku appears.png|thumb|Rai Mamezuku the plant appraiser enters the scene]]<br />
After Dolomite is neutralized and reveals Jobin's involvement with the [[Locacaca Organization]], Josuke and Yasuho go to the plant appraiser's home on a bus. Suddenly, [[Rai Mamezuku]] the plant appraiser appears to hijack the bus. He notably tells Josuke that a new group of enemies is now moving against them and Mamezuku brings the couple to his home: a ski lift. He also reveals [[Doggy Style]], a Stand ability allowing him to unravel himself. The trio is soon attacked by a duo of new enemies: [[Urban Guerrilla]] and [[Doremifasolati Do]]. Urban is a [[Rock Human]] and Doremifasolati is his pet which functions as an underground carrier. Because of their strong abilities, the two almost kill Josuke, Mamezuku and Yasuho but they manage to leak some gas inside of Doremifasolati Do and ignite it, creating an explosion that kills them both.<br />
<br />
Not long after, [[Jobin]] meets with Urban's superior, [[Poor Tom]]. The baby-like old Rock Human then instructs Jobin to bury his Stand [[Ozon Baby]] in the orchard of the Higashikata Estate.<br />
<br />
====Interlude: Yasuho's Past====<br />
<br />
:{{Main|JJL Chapter 71}}, The Qing Dynasty Hair Clip<br />
<br />
After the battle, Mamezuku tells Yasuho to go home and stay safe. However, the clash with the Rock Humans causes her to remember an incident of the past. When she was 13, Yasuho bought a [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] in anticipation of a weekend with her father. However, the hair clip was a strange creature that tricked her into committing suicide. Thankfully, the Kira Family saved her from it. Since then Yasuho keeps its remains in her room.<br />
<br />
In the present, Yasuho reaffirms her will to help in front of Mamezuku, who notes that the hair clip may be a Rock Animal and thus a lead toward identifying the enemy.<br />
<br />
====The Theft of the Locacaca Branch====<br />
<br />
:{{Main|JJL Chapter 72}}, North of the Higashikata Estate. The Orchard<br />
{{Main|Poor Tom and Ozon Baby (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
It is breakfast at the Higashikata. Jobin stealthily plants [[Ozon Baby]] in the orchard, but when he returns to the tool shed, is confronted by his son [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]. Jobin thus reassures that his actions are for the sake of his family.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, the air pressure increases and the Stand [[Ozon Baby]] appears to attack everyone.<br />
<br />
The [[Higashikata House]] is under attack from [[Ozon Baby]] which manipulates pressure, everyone except [[Jobin]] having fallen unconscious. Trapped in their shed, Jobin and the revived [[Tsurugi]] realize that Ozon Baby is an automatic Stand that will indiscriminately attack anyone in its range. Jobin also roughly grasps the enemy's ability: Ozon Baby can decrease the air pressure in a zone, but any closed space will dampen its effects. Determined, they set the orchard on fire by using origamis and [[Speed King]] to spur their enemies into action.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jobin_takes_the_branch.jpg|thumb|left|After Poor Tom's attack, it is Jobin and Tsurugi who acquire the Locacaca Branch]]<br />
Indeed, [[Poor Tom]] rushes into the orchard to retrieve the branch while [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] go out, protected by [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles. They meet just as Mamezuku takes the branch and a fight ensues. Poor Tom takes out Mamezuku and seizes the branch but is poisoned by a yew seed. Pursued by Josuke, Poor Tom is bluffed into canceling the air pressure ability, but his supposed allies from the hospital have arrived. Surprisingly, Poor Tom is killed by a [[Wonder of U|mysterious ability]] shooting through his head. An unseen person seizes the branch and drives away before Josuke can do anything. However, it is revealed that Tsurugi used [[Paper Moon King]] to trick everyone: an ordinary branch has been fought over while Jobin stole the real Locacaca branch. They hide the branch, grafted into a cactus. Meanwhile, [[Tooru|the ambulance driver]] discovers the trick and guess that the arsonist is the one who has the branch.<br />
<br />
Finally, Josuke returns to Mamezuku, revealed to be alive and slowly reconstituting himself. Desperate, Josuke can only observe his total loss.<br />
<br />
====The TG University Hospital====<br />
{{Main|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
{{Main|JJL Chapter 83|Countdown to the Harvest}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Wu-tomoki-attacks.png|thumb|Yasuho and Mitsuba attacked by Wu Tomoki]]<br />
After the fire, the whole [[Higashikata Family]] gathers, allowing [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] to explain his situation and that he has now 10 days to retrieve the fruit. Jobin's insistence on the hospital clues [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] in as to the eldest son's guilt about the fire but the two decide to search the [[TG University Hospital]] first for the occupants of the ambulance.<br />
<br />
For her part, [[Yasuho]] has already headed to the hospital. Yasuho sees [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] with a physician, Dr. [[Wu Tomoki]] and discovers that he too is dealing the Locacaca to Mitsuba as a form of "beauty treatment". Tomoki, who can turn into dust thanks to his ability [[Doctor Wu]] attacks Yasuho but Mitsuba intervenes with her Stand [[Awaking III Leaves]], realizing she doesn't remember how she is treated and determined to save her unborn baby from the equivalent exchange. During the fight, Yasuho incidentally meets [[Tooru]], her ex-boyfriend. Fending off Tomoki until they discover a hidden laboratory and a garden of an orchard of Locacaca, the two women are almost killed by Tomoki but then saved at the last moment by Josuke who kills Tomoki. The only member of the Organization who remains seems to be the head doctor of [[TG University Hospital]], [[Satoru Akefu]], 89 years old.<br />
<br />
====Chasing after Akefu and Waiting for the Harvest====<br />
{{Main|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke_rai_pursues_head_doctor.jpg|thumb|left|Josuke and co. are somehow unable to catch up to the old head doctor]]<br />
Josuke, Yasuho and Mamezuku check the entry log of the laboratory and discover the supposed remaining member of the [[Locacaca Organization]]: [[Satoru Akefu]] the head doctor of [[TG University Hospital]]. Against Yasuho's instinct they persist in this lead. Unable to find a picture of the doctor, the group tries to chase after him but an unknown [[Wonder of U|Stand]] prevents them from reaching Akefu, who eventually escapes. Moreover, the group has been crossing paths with [[Tooru]], Yasuho's ex-boyfriend. Tooru tries to revive the flame between him and Yasuho, causing no small amount of jealousy and suspicion. <br />
<br />
While chasing after Akefu, Josuke is made to look like a murder culprit when a man's neck snaps after getting into a fight with him. Yasuho then finds herself alone as Mamezuku and Josuke must now deal with the repercussion of the man's death. The group splits because Rai and Josuke believes Akefu has the branch but Yasuho believes it is at the Higashikata estate.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tsurugi illness.png|thumb|Tsurugi's [[Rock Disease]] becomes extremely grave]]<br />
As the new [[Locacaca]] matures, it seems that Akefu keeps lurking near [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] and the [[Higashikata Family]] begins to suffer from a string of bad luck. At school [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] is accused of having shut the school's iron doors on a classmate and Mitsuba argues against one of the mothers: [[Maako Kitani]]. When Maako returns to her house and rants about the Higashikatas, her boyfriend [[Ojiro Sasame]] is reminded of the [[Locacaca]]. He eventually manages to enter the Higashikata home and steal the potted fruit. Jobin uses his [[Speed King]] to kill the intruder and Maako, and is reprimanded for his actions later by [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] as he learns about the deaths of Maako and Ojiro. Mitsuba's suspicions about the ongoing events grow as she learns about the repercussions of the struggle for the new Locacaca. At one point, Tsurugi's [[Rock Disease]] goes out of control and he is bedridden for the moment, distressing the whole family about his condition.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] try to think about their next plan. Rai learns from a newspaper that Akefu will be present at the hospital in two days to give a lecture. Moreover, the duo eventually works out that [[Satoru Akefu]]'s [[Wonder of U|Stand]] must trigger bad luck as soon as they think about pursuing Akefu. Silently, in the back seat, the Stand reveals itself. Josuke attempts to attack it with a rush of punches from his Stand but fails to land a hit. Josuke has no choice but to let himself get heavily wounded by the enemy Stand's ability to be brought to the hospital and approach Akefu but Rai is brought to jail by the police.<br />
<br />
While spending some time with [[Tooru]], [[Yasuho]] is shown a photo of Satoru and [[Mitsuba Higashikata]], implying they are acquainted. Yasuho decides to investigate the [[Higashikata House]], still sure that the new [[Locacaca]] is there.<br />
<br />
====The Day of the Harvest====<br />
{{Main|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
[[File:JosukeHolly.png|thumb|left|After Holy saves Josuke before losing consciousness]]<br />
Two days later, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] wakes up at the hospital. While [[Satoru Akefu]] gives a lecture on his new medicine the [[Locacaca|Locacaca6251]], Josuke tries to get out of bed but his stomach is crushed when a policeman he's stunned falls on him. With [[Wonder of U|Satoru]]'s power to bring out calamities seems insurmountable, Josuke suddenly meets [[Holy Joestar-Kira]]. Holy brings him to a secret laboratory where samples of the Locacaca6251 are kept and heals him. In addition, Holy reveals to him details about the [[Locacaca Organization]] and advises him not to pursue the Head Doctor. She then faints as a mass of petrified flesh reaches her head. With his resolve renewed, Josuke decides to complete a plan that will make Akefu come to him. Josuke contacts a journalist with damning evidence of illegal human trials of the Locacaca6251 on Holy, the journalist confronts Akefu over this, and the head doctor kills the journalist before coming to Josuke. [[Rai Mamezuku|Mamezuku]] also escapes from jail and arrives at the [[TG University Hospital]] just in time to join with Josuke and confront Satoru Akefu with him.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jobin holds Norisuke.jpeg|thumb|Calamity strikes the Higashikatas, with Norisuke being gravely wounded and Jobin following suit soon after]]<br />
Meanwhile, [[Yasuho Hirose]] has arrived at the [[Higashikata House]] and begins to infiltrate the household to find the new [[Locacaca]] by sending in [[Paisley Park]] and hiding it in [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]]'s cellphone. She finds a bedridden [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] but then [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] catches Paisley Park and tosses the mobile phone in the toilets, menacing to drown Yasuho. Worse, [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] decides to side with her husband and tries to help Jobin kill her. [[Satoru Akefu]] appears near the house and Yasuho loses her arm, but his power to bring calamities also alerts the rest of the [[Higashikata Family]] and brings the Locacaca out of its hiding spot. [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] confronts Jobin and the dispute degenerates until Jobin feels he's forced to induce a heat stroke in Norisuke, shocking the whole Family. Fortunately, Joshu uses the confusion to at least save Paisley Park. The head doctor's [[Wonder of U|Stand]] then acts and causes a calamity that leaves Jobin bleeding out dead in the corridor, and the pot that he has taken rolling near the garage. Yasuho has called [[Tooru]] for help, but instead the "young man" prefers to hide and observe the situation and it is revealed that he is the enemy.<br />
<br />
[[File:Josuke & Mamezuku vs Wonder of U.jpeg|thumb|left|Josuke & Rai confront Wonder of U, the Head Doctor]]<br />
Back at the [[TG University Hospital]], it is revealed that [[Satoru Akefu]] is actually the [[Stand]] named [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U senses that Josuke has laid a trap and doesn't fully step inside of the laboratory. Instead, he sics a [[Rock Organism|Rock Insect]] named [[Dododo De Dadada]] on Josuke. Dododo De Dadada almost kills Josuke with its asbestos power but Rai kills it and confronts Satoru. The head doctor, surprised that Rai has managed to approach so close to him, taunts Rai about the "unlucky" death of his parents, implying he had a hand in it. Rai is angered and attacks, but is grievously wounded by the secret bubbles Josuke had deployed, out of sheer bad luck. Nonetheless, Rai sees some hope with Josuke's bubbles and shows that Josuke's bubble has the potential to deploy the [[Spin]].<br />
<br />
At the Higashikata House, [[Joshu]] suddenly comes out with the potted [[Locacaca]] and declares that he'll save [[Yasuho]]. Despite Yasuho's misgivings, the Locacaca seems to be her only way to save herself. Yasuho explains to Joshu how the [[Equivalent Exchange]] works, but he loses himself in his own fantasies about the exchange and pushes himself onto a dismayed Yasuho. At the same time, Tooru decides to allow the exchange to happen in order to confirm the fruit's power. He makes several faint noises while hiding in the thicket, and this makes Yasuho realize that Tooru must be the enemy [[Stand]] User, as he's been near her since the beginning of the heroes' chase after [[Satoru Akefu]]. Yasuho performs an equivalent exchange with Joshu, and heals her arm. Remembering that she once met Tooru as a young girl and helped him impersonate the real Satoru Akefu, Yasuho confronts Tooru, who remains hidden in the thicket and warns her about pursuing him. Unfazed, she takes Joshu's phone and contacts [[Kei Nijimura]], although it triggers Wonder of U's ability. Joshu goes mad and attacks Yasuho to get his arm back. Kei receives Yasuho's call for help and begins looking for Josuke at the Locacaca lab.<br />
<br />
The narration ominously mentions that a failure on a plane in the skies of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] has caused a panel from the plane to drop towards the town. At the Higashikata estate, [[Joshu]] trips and falls on the ground, allowing [[Yasuho]] to continue her call. She explains the situation to [[Kei Nijimura|Kei]] and warns her about the enemy's calamity power. In the lab, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] tries to bait [[Wonder of U]] closer by trying to destroy the supply of Locacaca6251. However, the head doctor's calamity power works against him. Despite his effort, Josuke cannot harm the enemy Stand and ironically impales himself on the wreckage of the vault. However, [[Born This Way]] suddenly intervenes as Kei enters the room. Its chilling wind freezes the bubbles and blows them towards Wonder of U, slightly wounding the Stand's head and causing Tooru to bleed. Wonder of U thus realizes that there is indeed a hidden potential within [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles.<br />
<br />
The successful attacks on Wonder of U came at the cost of its broken cane lodging itself in Kei's eye. She collapses but Josuke is able to pick up her phone to contact Yasuho. Yasuho tells Josuke everything about Tooru, while Tooru decides to make Wonder of U retreat and comes out of the trees to confront her. Tooru tells Yasuho to give him the Locacaca to prevent it from being destroyed in the incoming calamity that will befall her. Joshu tries to defend her, to no avail, and he trips on Yasuho, which allows Tooru to take the Locacaca. Seeing something big falling towards her, Yasuho tells Josuke about it, forcing him to chase Wonder of U again. Reminiscing Mamezuku's words about the hidden power in his bubbles, Josuke shoots a single bubble towards Wonder of U. Suddenly, a bubble-like sphere comes out of his [[Joestar Birthmark]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|Tooru doing equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
Josuke shoots his bubble, but Wonder of U summons a new [[Rock Organism|Rock Insect]] named "[[Obladi Oblada]]". It deflects the bubble, and latches itself onto Josuke, multiplying and covering his body. Thanks to Paisley Park's help, Josuke has another shot at the head doctor but Obladi Oblada gets in the way and Josuke misses his second shot. However, Paisley Park then brings the invisible bubble that's come out of Josuke's birthmark back to the Higashikata House via the cellphone connection, and the bubble flies right towards [[Tooru]].<ref name="C105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Tooru is hit and launched into the path of the falling panel. Wonder of U has no choice but to curve the path of the calamity, and Yasuho is spared from the slide panel. The panel crashes into the house instead. Josuke manages to find the shower room and dives in the pool to get Obladi Oblada off him. Tooru eats the last Locacaca and tries to touch Yasuho to perform another equivalent exchange, but Josuke shoots another bubble that hits him, sending him flying into the back of the garage. Suddenly, [[Kaato Higashikata]] appears in tears.<ref name="C106">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Kaato reveals her Stand [[Space Trucking]] but despite Tooru's taunts, she has no intentions of attacking him. Instead, she traps Tooru by using her cards to pin his limbs to the ground.

<br />
While they call an ambulance, Tsurugi heads upstairs to Norisuke's office and carries his body down to the garage.<ref name="C83">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}</ref> It seems like the struggle has ended and that the curse that had befallen the Higashikata Family is now broken, but Yasuho discovers that the [[Satoru Akefu|head doctor]]'s calamity energy has invaded Norisuke's body and is worsening his wounds. Thankfully, Josuke arrives and destroys the calamity for good with a last bubble shot. Josuke and Yasuho are now reunited.<ref name="C108" /><br />

===Epilogue: Radio Gaga incident===<br />
{{Main|The Radio Gaga Incident (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:JJL 110 Josuke Higashikata.png|thumb|Josuke and his family]]<br />
Taking place some time in 1941, [[Lucy Steel]] comes from America to S-City to investigate a strange place. She meets a boy named [[Fumi]], who decides to stay with Lucy after a thief robbed his wallet. Fumi sees where Lucy is going, and warns her about the "Radio gaga incident". It is a legend of a girl who heard a strange voice by a guard rail and began to follow it and strip herself. She later disappeared with only her clothes and a foot left behind. Lucy and Fumi arrive near the [[Higashikata Fruit Company]]'s orchard, where the same thing happens to their driver. Suddenly, Lucy starts to hear voices too and starts getting sucked into the guard rail. Fumi saves Lucy from the guardrail, but starts getting sucked in himself. He uses his Stand to save himself and runs away with Lucy from the guardrail. It is revealed that Fumi is Joseph Joestar and is the father of Holy Joestar-Kira. <br />
<br />
Back to the present, Josuke and Yasuho find themselves without the [[Locacaca]] to cure [[Holy Joestar-Kira]]. They run into [[Kiyomi Kujo]], and learn that she has not forgotten about her son. Nonetheless, Josuke feels that he is neither Josefumi nor Kira and doesn't approach Kiyomi. Josuke and Yasuho then head to the Higashikata Fruit Parlor. The family tries to choose a cake for tomorrow to properly celebrate Norisuke being discharged from the hospital, but they are all overcome by emotion. They thus ask Josuke to choose the cake. Seeing that Josuke has found his family, Yasuho leaves the parlor crying tears of joy.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*According to [[Author's Note (JoJolion)#JJL Volume 2|a note]] by Araki in volume 2, the ''-lion'' in JoJolion's title is derived from the Ancient Greek [[wiktionary:gospel#Etymology|εὐαγγέλιον]] (''evangelion''), in reference to the {{W|Gospel|Gospels}}. "''By combining this word with "JoJo", I've meant for the title to signify the existence of the protagonist "Josuke" in this world''".<ref>[[Author's Note (JoJolion)#JJL Volume 2|Author's Note (JoJolion); Volume 2]]</ref><br />
*In the All Star Battle Guidebook, Araki comments on the reappearance of previous characters from ''Diamond is Unbreakable''. He is often asked about [[Rohan Kishibe]], who Araki asserts won't appear and states that another weird manga artist will appear instead. This character doesn't appear in the part.<ref>{{IN|All Star Battle's Guidebook (August 2013)}}</ref><br />
*It won the Grand Prize for manga at the 2013 {{W|Japan Media Arts Festival}}.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-12-05/jojolion-manga-wins-media-arts-award Jojolion Manga Wins Media Arts Award]</ref><br />
*At 10 years, JoJolion's serialization is currently the longest of any JoJo part, a title that previously belonged to ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''.<br />

{{Quote|His skin is '''rock'''! He's a living human with '''rock''' skin!|Josuke Higashikata about [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], [[JJL Chapter 30]]}}<br />
<br />
The {{nihongo|'''Rock Humans'''|岩人間|Iwa-Ningen}} are a subspecies of [[Rock Organism]]s, serving as the primary antagonistic force in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
Rock Humans are creatures that evolved with silicon as the element they are primarily composed of. Silicon-based life appeared at the same time as carbon-based life. Both kinds of organisms evolved at the same time, although silicon-based cells were fewer in number.<ref name="JJLC99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Hibernation===<br />
Sleep hits suddenly at different times depending on the individual and will last anywhere from 30 to 90 days but after waking up, a Rock Human won't sleep again for at least two months. While hibernating, breathing is halted, though a small amount of skin respiration is required through the cracks found on their outer layer. If necessary, they can stay in hibernation for 25 years and sustain temperatures as high as 950&nbsp;°C and as low as -240&nbsp;°C. Their body heat, as well as scent, disappear while dormant causing various fungi, moss and even pearls to grow on their body.<br />
<br />
The means by which they harden into stone involve an intricate cell system that stores moisture within the interior of each cell and is protected by carbon-rich cell walls. Any item a Rock Human carries when he's hibernating will be covered with a hard membrane which tears off like a scab upon awakening.<br />
<br />
When hibernating, Rock Humans will prefer places such as shrine grounds, parks with statues, gardens of expensive houses, and underneath maple trees with squirrels in them. They will generally avoid sleeping in areas that were previously flooded, or have high chances of being rained on by tree sap or bird poop.<ref name = JJLC46>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 46}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Biology===<br />
There are both male and female Rock Humans who procreate and give birth much like humans. Visually, there are no differences between them and humans, though their skin upon awakening appears slightly moist, damp and erotic. Male humans and female Rock Humans can interbreed, but there are no examples of the vice versa.<ref name = JJLC99>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Rock Human mothers give birth in the spring and summer seasons and carry the fetus for six months. On average, newborn babies have a length of 28 millimeters and weigh 15 grams, keeping that form for seventeen years.<ref name = JJLC99/> It is believed that Rock Humans can live for 240 years. When a Rock Human dies, it leaves no corpse, as it crumbles away into rocks.<ref name = JJLC46/><br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Rock Humans eat plants, fruits, nuts, meat, fish, and all other forms of life. They enjoy honey, and all are allergic to mangoes. <br />
<br />
Rock Human mothers almost never have affection for or a parental relationship with their child. Soon after birth they take their child to a forest and place them in the roots of a dead tree.<br />
<br />
After being left by their mother, a Rock Human baby will wait to be attacked by a wasp, which they will latch onto and use as transportation to a hive. They transform into stone mid-flight while getting covered with pheromones so the other wasps will not see them as food. After reaching the hive, they roll their stone bodies until they find the queen. The babies then dig into the softest part of the queen's body and climb in, effectively riding the queen's body with only half of themselves left alive. They will then learn by themselves the laws of nature, the flow of time, the concept of numbers, and how to live in a group. They wait 17 years for their first "molting", at which point they will venture to the outside world after killing all of the wasps.<ref name = JJLC99/><br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru and Rock Humans.png|thumb|220x220px|left|Tooru and two other Rock Humans emerge after reaching their young-adult forms. {{Nsfw}}]]<br />
<br />
Rock Humans' actions are fundamentally independent and they have no families, but they will sometimes form groups for self-benefit and infiltrate human society. However, they don't form any relationships beyond "give and take" ones.<ref name = JJLC99/> That said, it is shown that [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] and [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]] had some bond together, as Yotsuyu saved Aisho from drowning and emphatized with him when he lost his house and was betrayed by his girlfriend; likewise Aisho was angered that Yotsuyu had died and considered him a comrade.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}}, p.17 & p.37</ref> The [[A. Phex Brothers]] were also quite attached to each other as siblings.<br />
<br />
They hold a certain reverence for the power found within the Earth and nature. As they are fundamentally able to live through weather changes, they require no assets such as a house or land.<ref name = JJLC46/> They like to make places that give humans special powers their "true home".<ref name = JJLC99/><br />
<br />
With the natural nature of humans spreading and migrating across the continents and their continuous migration to this day, Rock Humans are unable to safely coexist or mutually understand human society. With their natural environment slowly being taken over by human development, some have taken the form of "parasites" by falsely entering the family registry system to maintain property and assets.<ref name = JJLC99/> However, due to their extensive hibernation, Rock Humans cannot go to school or hold regular jobs, instead working in occupations that allow irregular business hours. Rock Humans also rarely fall in love with normal humans, but if they do, there's a 97.5% chance it will end in disaster. The breakups between humans and Rock Humans are said to end in someone's murder.<ref name = JJLC46/><br />
<br />
==Abilities and Powers==<br />
'''Rock Skin''': Presumably separate from hibernation, each Rock Human has the ability to shift their outer appearance from a normal human into a rock-like state and vice versa at will. In their rock form, they are able to camouflage into their surroundings, and improve their durability to some extent. The ability to stay human requires some type of focus however, as Aisho describes his rock form as something he was born with, but unable to control at a younger age.<ref name=JJLC42>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}} P. 4</ref> Yotsuyu, who is presumably more experienced in controlling it, is able to revert to human, rock, and a hybrid where he can still move despite having a rock-like appearance.<ref name = JJLC31>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 31}}</ref><br />
<br />
'''[[Stand]]s:''' 95% of Rock Humans possess Stands. The reason for the high proportion of Stand users in their population is likely due to them living in "special places" including the [[Devil's Palm]] and near the [[Wall Eyes]] in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]], which are locations known for being able to grant Stand abilities.<ref name = JJLC99/><br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
The typical behavior of some Rock Humans involves assimilating into human society to the best of their ability, while maintaining secret contact with small groups of other Rock Humans, two of which serve as collective antagonists of ''JoJolion''.<br />
<br />
===[[Locacaca Organization]]===<br />
Led by [[Tooru]], this group of Rock Humans prioritize gaining the power of the New Locacaca's equivalent exchange, and to secretly obtain and sell Locacaca fruits for wealth.<br />
<br />
====Smuggling Cartel====<br />
Within the organization is a small faction led by [[Tamaki Damo]], dedicated to smuggling Locacaca plants overseas via members sneaking onto cargo vessels and hibernating for the duration of the voyage. The fruits would then be harvested and sold to customers in need of their equivalent exchange property at a lofty price. Working beneath Damo were Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Aisho Dainenjiyama, and the A. Phex Brothers. Jobin Higashikata served as a business partner of the organization, using his family's business to cover up the Locacaca trade. Aside from Jobin, all of the cartel members were killed by {{Josuke8}} and his allies.<br />
<br />
====Researchers====<br />
The researchers of the Locacaca fruit are comprised of several Rock Humans working as doctors at [[TG University Hospital]], including the mastermind Satoru. They wish to secure the New Locacaca for the benefit of the Rock Human race. Though the specific details of their goals are currently unknown, [[Urban Guerrilla]] believes that it could be used to bring about a massive change that favors Rock Humans over humanity, stating that it will "bring a whole new world to [them]".<br />

*In the [[Love Love Deluxe (story arc)|Love Love Deluxe arc]], the rock human growth cycle was described differently. They didn't grow abruptly inside wasp hives, but instead would "molt" their whole bodies at once every six years. This transformation occurred during their sleep, and for some unknown reason, the pose they'd make when asleep would change each time.<ref name = JJLC46/><br />

<hr />
<div>{{nihongo|'''Ghosts'''|幽霊|Yūrei}} are sentient undead beings featured throughout the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series and the associated one-shot, [[Deadman's Questions]]. In ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', they take on more significant roles as the series' subplot, even aiding the protagonists in unconventional ways.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
[[File:Brunoascend.png|thumb|left|164px|Ascension of [[Bucciarati]] into Heaven]]<br />
When a person dies in the JoJo universe, their '''soul''' or {{nihongo|'''spirit'''|魂|tamashii}} passes on to the afterlife. In the case of a fundamentally virtuous person (such as [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]], [[Iggy]], [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bucciarati]], etc.), their soul, in the form of an incorporeal manifestation of themselves, can be seen transcending into the Heaven.<br />
<br />
Individuals whose souls are incapable of passing through to the other side are forced to wander the Earth as ''ghosts''. Though each ghost's cause of death is different, many of them can be classified as {{Nihongo|'''Jibakurei'''|地縛霊}}<ref name="ch332">{{Ch|Chapter 332}}</ref> or {{W|Revenants in fiction|Revenants}}, beings typically bound to a specific location on Earth due to their determination to accomplish a particular goal or not having found peace.<br />
<br />
There is almost no difference in appearance between someone and their ghost, as the souls are reflections of the person (one exception being Kira, who has extraordinary circumstances). Moreover, a ghost will generally keep the injuries from their death, but a recollection of how they died is required before the damage on their body appears.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 438}}</ref> It is also said that ghosts are unable to develop physically unlike living beings, and the memories stored in their spirit are only those of their former life (demonstrated when Rohan tried to read Reimi's ghost and only saw information from her former life). And though possibly fueled with revenge, Ghosts will retain their personalities and are perfectly capable of reasonable thought.<br />
<br />
Ghosts are invisible to ordinary people, but not to animals.<ref>[[Deadman's Questions]] Ch.1</ref> However, Ghosts can still make themselves heard by normal people. [[Stand]] Users are able to see ghosts automatically and, as Reimi theorizes, their power allows them to see and travel to ghostly locations such as [[Morioh]]'s [[Ghost Girl's Alley]]<ref name="ch332" />. Users can also use their Stand abilities on ghosts and/or attack them, (as seen when Rohan uses [[Heaven's Door]] on Reimi) though it is unknown whether or not this would inflict pain onto the ghost.<br />
<br />
As seen in [[Deadman's Questions]], Ghosts are rather common and can be found anywhere. Most tend to remain inactive and simply find a place where they are not likely to encounter the living.<br />
<br />
===Abilities and restrictions===<br />
[[File:Ghosts.jpg|thumb|Ghosts hiding in the shadows.]]<br />
Ghosts follow certain rules in their existence for unexplained reasons. For instance, they can only enter a room if it's empty or if someone inside has given the Ghost permission. However, the nature of the permission is loose: even accepting to open a mail slot counts as inviting a Ghost.<br />
<br />
Ghosts can freely toggle intangibility. By default, it seems that Ghosts are intangible and thus can freely move through objects. However, they still have the ability to manipulate objects, though they are not able to feel them. Should a Ghost touch someone unwillingly, they lose their limbs, so most spirits just shrivel and hide in the shadows and out-of-the-way places to avoid bumping into people.<br />
<br />
Ghosts who previously had a [[Stand]] in life can still use them, provided they do not become vagabond spirits, as the Stand is broken apart and destroyed upon the transition.<br />

<br />
==Inanimate Objects==<br />
<br />
[[File:Ghostobjects.JPG|thumb|left|Kira testing different ghost objects.]]For some unknown reason, objects can become Ghosts if destroyed as well. Worded differently, the objects become "made of Ghost" as if material. These can be felt and manipulated by normal ghosts, ranging from fire, food, books, guns, places, and entire buildings. However, these objects aren't capable of spreading to other living objects, so it wouldn't be possible to kill someone using a ghost object. It is, however, possible to use them to kill other spirits such as '''''cleansers'''.''<br />
<br />
Ghostly locations such as Ghost Girl's Alley or Emporio's room are hidden from living humans as they somehow fit into narrow spaces such as the space between two adjacent buildings.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==[[Burning Down the House]]==<br />
{{Main|Burning Down the House}}<br />
[[File:BDtHP.png|thumb|188x188px]]<br />
Burning Down the House is a Stand from ''[[Stone Ocean]]'' that allows its user, [[Emporio Alnino]], to interact with the ghost of a room as well as various ghost objects, such as a computer, a piano, a gun, etc.. Burning Down the House's room and objects share the same or similar rules as the ghost house and objects from Deadman's Questions, such as them not being able to affect living objects. Emporio is also able to bring in other people into the room as well. Emporio is able to enter and hide inside Burning Down the House through cracks in the walls of [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], much like how Kira found and entered the ghost house in Deadman's Questions.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==[[Ghost Girl's Alley]]==<br />
{{Main|Ghost Girl's Alley}}<br />
[[File:GhostHands.gif|thumb|260px|Ghost hands trying to take Koichi and Echoes]]<br />
In the Japanese town of [[Morioh]], a particular place nicknamed the [[Ghost Girl's Alley]] is said to be the border between the world of the living and the afterlife, essentially serving as a purgatory. Not only the alley is a closed space, but malicious spirits lurk in it. Any soul passing through here should never look back or else countless disembodied hands will drag the spirit into the unknown. <br />
<br />
In [[Deadman's Questions]], it is revealed that spirits dragged by the hands, at least in Kira's case, will become wandering vagabonds, without any memory of their past life and forced to find a purpose on Earth. Stands are destroyed when dragged by the hands, as shown with [[Killer Queen]] being torn to shreds and eventually not showing any traces of its existence later. It seems that the Ghost Alley itself, the hands of the alley, or some different entity altogether can talk as Koichi hearing something whisper that he can turn around when he was near the end of the maze.<br />
{{-}}<br />
==Spirit Cleansers==<br />
<br />
[[File:Cleanser.jpg|thumb|left|159px|Cleanser]]<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Spirit Cleansers'''|魂の掃除屋|Tamashī no Sōjiya}} are small creatures that, as its name suggests, cleanse spirits. They are born from eggs touched by a spirit. When they touch a normal ghost, plants begin to grow from the ghost, trying to change them into something else similar to a plant by eating him from the inside. When they eat a ghost object, they turn those into bugs. They have the function to clean the world from spirits, so that it won't be overflowing with vagabond spirits of the dead. They can be killed either by cracking their eggs or with a ghost object, but their dead remains can still clean whatever it touches.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Vengeful Spirits==<br />
[[File:TSKR_16_Grudges.png|thumb|left|The spirits that follow the confessor]]<br />
In ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 16: At a Confessional]]'', vengeful spirits are depicted as supernatural entities born from grudges of a previous life, which break some of the established conventions of common ghosts; for example, these spirits are capable of interacting with non-Stand users and can be seen by them. When [[The Confessor]] unintentionally causes the death of a [[Vagrant (TSKR)|vagrant]], the vagrant reappears as a spirit cursing the confessor for his cruelty. The vagrant's spirit demonstrates super-human capabilities, being capable of knocking away a fully grown man and slicing the head of the [[Confessor's Servant]] clean off. They are also able to possess the bodies of people. To pass on to the next life, these spirits need to satiate their grudge. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==[[Under the Moon]]==<br />
{{Main|Under the Moon}}<br />
[[File:Nanase under the moon.png|thumb|224px|The painting "Under The Moon"]]<br />
The painting '''Under The Moon''', featuring [[Nanase Kishibe|Nanase]], was created by painter [[Nizaemon Yamamura]] with the blackest and purest ink in the world, taken from the pigment of an ancient tree's trunk. The pigment that Nizaemon extracted from the 2000-year-old tree came from a substance taken from insects living in the very core of the trunk. These infinitely black creatures, resembling spiders, were hidden in the darkness since the dawn of time.<br />
<br />
According to legend, Nizaemon had drawn the most evil and black painting in the world. The hate in his heart for being executed was transferred and sealed to the painting, giving it life and a murderous intent. As a result, Nanase was cursed to sacrifice people for 300 years and eventually seal the curse away using a descendant by cutting her link to said descendant.<br />
<br />
The painting can sense when someone approaches it, and attacks them by summoning creatures similar to ghosts out of the victim's memories such as their ancestors or others who died in horrific ways. If their victim touches a ghost created by the painting, the victim dies by experiencing the same death as the ghost.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In Deadman's Questions, [[Araki]] explains that the series' take on ghosts spawned from the idea that "In the world of life after death, if the spirit lives on, it would not be a place where everyone goes, but where there are "rules" similar to this world. The ghosts should go through just as much hardships as we do, if not more."<br />

{{Quote|When everything's over, all that will remain... are '''dreams and memories'''.|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], {{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]],'' as well as the seventh main antagonist of the series overall. <br />
<br />
He is the mastermind behind the [[Locacaca Organization]], using his stand to act as the TG University Hospital's head doctor, [[Wonder of U|Satoru Akefu]]. Alongside the head doctor, Tooru disguises himself as an ordinary part-time medical student at the hospital.<br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], an automatic Stand which causes anyone who thinks of pursuing either the Stand itself or Tooru to endure a calamity.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|170px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />
<br />
During his first appearance, he wears a white doctor's coat.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior. <br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, he has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /> However this mercy doesn't go further than simple warnings, as he's willing to sacrifice Yasuho's body during an exchange to heal his own injuries.<ref name="JJL106">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]] he decides to abandon fighting Josuke, sensing the potential danger that he could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref name="JJL105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Tooru's Stand is also equipped with a few [[Rock Insect|rock insects]] which he deploys whenever he is unable to inflict calamity on his enemies. Notably he unleashes [[Dododo De Dadada]] on Josuke and Mamezuku to attack and trick them into pursuing him, later discharging [[Obladi Oblada]] to hold off Josuke and make his Stand escape out of the hospital.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 98}}</ref><ref name="JJL105" /> Opposite of this cautious trait however, he holds absolute confidence in his ability and repeatedly warns his enemies about its effects. Despite injury, Tooru can persevere and make quick decisions to put himself back at the advantage. When Josuke succeeds in landing his new-found ability, he consumes the new locacaca to perform an exchange on Yasuho to heal his injuries.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name="JJL107P16">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his long life-cycle Tooru adapts a perspective on life based on memories and dreams. He compares himself to a rock on-top of others, being a witness to the dreams and memories of others long past. Tooru asserts that at the end of all things, these last forever. He applies this belief onto others, seen with him taunting Kaato about her own legacy of cruelty and the death of her [[Jobin Higashikata|son's]] dreams.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />

<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected.<br />
<br />
Some time in 1941, as [[Lucy Steel]] investigates a mysterious land in Morioh, she and [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Joseph Joestar]] are caught up by a [[Guard Rail Creature]] attacking them. As they run away, Lucy spots Tooru in the distance planting a [[Locacaca]] in a pot.<ref name="JJL110">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], who was a little girl at that time. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===Soft & Wet: Go Beyond===<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
As Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />
[[File:Tooru_death.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Tooru crumbles away]]<br />
The process of the exchange begins, despite having eaten the locacaca fruit first Tooru still succumbs to the equivalent exchange. Kaato reveals the crushed branches within her cards, and pours the sap into Tsurugi's mouth. Wonder of U attempts to attack Kaato but it begins to crumble alongside Tooru. In desperation he begins to plead, arguing that the fruit is divine providence and begging Kaato to stop. Kaato brushes away his pleas, determined to cure Tsurugi's illness and bear this sin. Tooru begins to crumble further begs Yasuho to stop Kaato by reminding her of their previous relationship. Yasuho doesn't act and continues to watch. In his last moments, Tooru hallucinates seeing a hornet and crumbles away. Despite his death however, the calamity still manages to injure Kaato and is capable of manifesting as Wonder of U in Norisuke's mouth but fortunately, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] comes to the scene and eliminates Wonder of U with his newfound ability.<br />

{{Quote|When everything's over, all that will remain... are '''dreams and memories'''.|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], {{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]],'' as well as the seventh main antagonist of the series overall. <br />
<br />
He is the mastermind behind the [[Locacaca Organization]], using his stand to act as the TG University Hospital's head doctor, [[Wonder of U|Satoru Akefu]]. Alongside the head doctor, Tooru disguises himself as an ordinary part-time medical student at the hospital.<br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], an automatic Stand which causes anyone who thinks of pursuing either the Stand itself or Tooru to endure a calamity.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|170px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />
<br />
During his first appearance, he wears a white doctor's coat.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior. <br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, he has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /> However this mercy doesn't go further than simple warnings, as he's willing to sacrifice Yasuho's body during an exchange to heal his own injuries.<ref name="JJL106">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]] he decides to abandon fighting Josuke, sensing the potential danger that he could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref name="JJL105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Tooru's Stand is also equipped with a few [[Rock Insect|rock insects]] which he deploys whenever he is unable to inflict calamity on his enemies. Notably he unleashes [[Dododo De Dadada]] on Josuke and Mamezuku to attack and trick them into pursuing him, later discharging [[Obladi Oblada]] to hold off Josuke and make his Stand escape out of the hospital.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 98}}</ref><ref name="JJL105" /> Opposite of this cautious trait however, he holds absolute confidence in his ability and repeatedly warns his enemies about its effects. Despite injury, Tooru can persevere and make quick decisions to put himself back at the advantage. When Josuke succeeds in landing his new-found ability, he consumes the new locacaca to perform an exchange on Yasuho to heal his injuries.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name="JJL107P16">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his long life-cycle Tooru adapts a perspective on life based on memories and dreams. He compares himself to a rock on-top of others, being a witness to the dreams and memories of others long past. Tooru asserts that at the end of all things, these last forever. He applies this belief onto others, seen with him taunting Kaato about her own legacy of cruelty and the death of her [[Jobin Higashikata|son's]] dreams.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />

}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected.<br />
<br />
Some time in 1941, as [[Lucy Steel]] investigates a mysterious land in Morioh, she and [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Joseph Joestar]] are caught up by a [[Guard Rail Creature]] attacking them. As they run away, Lucy spots Tooru in the distance planting a [[Locacaca]] in a pot.<ref name="JJL110">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], who was a little girl at that time. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===Soft & Wet: Go Beyond===<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
As Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />
[[File:Tooru_death.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Tooru crumbles away]]<br />
The process of the exchange begins, despite having eaten the locacaca fruit first Tooru still succumbs to the equivalent exchange. Kaato reveals the crushed branches within her cards, and pours the sap into Tsurugi's mouth. Wonder of U attempts to attack Kaato but it begins to crumble alongside Tooru. In desperation he begins to plead, arguing that the fruit is divine providence and begging Kaato to stop. Kaato brushes away his pleas, determined to cure Tsurugi's illness and bear this sin. Tooru begins to crumble further begs Yasuho to stop Kaato by reminding her of their previous relationship. Yasuho doesn't act and continues to watch. In his last moments, Tooru hallucinates seeing a hornet and crumbles away. Despite his death however, the calamity still manages to injure Kaato and is capable of manifesting as Wonder of U in Norisuke's mouth but fortunately, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] comes to the scene and eliminates Wonder of U with his newfound ability.<br />

{{Quote|When everything's over, all that will remain... are '''dreams and memories'''.|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], {{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is the [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]],'' as well as the seventh main antagonist of the series overall. <br />
<br />
He is the mastermind behind the [[Locacaca Organization]], using his stand to act as the TG University Hospital's head doctor, [[Wonder of U|Satoru Akefu]]. Alongside the head doctor, Tooru disguises himself as an ordinary part-time medical student at the hospital.<br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], an automatic Stand which causes anyone who thinks of pursuing either the Stand itself or Tooru to endure a calamity.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|170px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />
<br />
During his first appearance, he wears a white doctor's coat.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior. <br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, he has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /> However this mercy doesn't go further than simple warnings, as he's willing to sacrifice Yasuho's body during an exchange to heal his own injuries.<ref name="JJL106">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]] he decides to abandon fighting Josuke, sensing the potential danger that he could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref name="JJL105">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Tooru's Stand is also equipped with a few [[Rock Insect|rock insects]] which he deploys whenever he is unable to inflict calamity on his enemies. Notably he unleashes [[Dododo De Dadada]] on Josuke and Mamezuku to attack and trick them into pursuing him, later discharging [[Obladi Oblada]] to hold off Josuke and make his Stand escape out of the hospital.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 98}}</ref><ref name="JJL105" /> Opposite of this cautious trait however, he holds absolute confidence in his ability and repeatedly warns his enemies about its effects. Despite injury, Tooru can persevere and make quick decisions to put himself back at the advantage. When Josuke succeeds in landing his new-found ability, he consumes the new locacaca to perform an exchange on Yasuho to heal his injuries.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name="JJL107P16">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his long life-cycle Tooru adapts a perspective on life based on memories and dreams. He compares himself to a rock on-top of others, being a witness to the dreams and memories of others long past. Tooru asserts that at the end of all things, these last forever. He applies this belief onto others, seen with him taunting Kaato about her own legacy of cruelty and the death of her [[Jobin Higashikata|son's]] dreams.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected.<br />
<br />
Some time in 1941, as [[Lucy Steel]] investigates a mysterious land in Morioh, she and [[Joseph Joestar (JoJolion)|Joseph Joestar]] are caught up by a [[Guard Rail Creature]] attacking them. As they run away, Lucy spots Tooru in the distance planting a [[Locacaca]] in a pot.<ref name="JJL110">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 110}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], who was a little girl at that time. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===Soft & Wet: Go Beyond===<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
As Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />
[[File:Tooru_death.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Tooru crumbles away]]<br />
The process of the exchange begins, despite having eaten the locacaca fruit first Tooru still succumbs to the equivalent exchange. Kaato reveals the crushed branches within her cards, and pours the sap into Tsurugi's mouth. Wonder of U attempts to attack Kaato but it begins to crumble alongside Tooru. In desperation he begins to plead, arguing that the fruit is divine providence and begging Kaato to stop. Kaato brushes away his pleas, determined to cure Tsurugi's illness and bear this sin. Tooru begins to crumble further begs Yasuho to stop Kaato by reminding her of their previous relationship. Yasuho doesn't act and continues to watch. In his last moments, Tooru hallucinates seeing a hornet and crumbles away. Despite his death however, the calamity still manages to injure Kaato and is capable of manifesting as Wonder of U in Norisuke's mouth but fortunately, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] comes to the scene and eliminates Wonder of U with his newfound ability.<br />

{{Quote|I'm gonna carve your fucking epitaph on your pretty white skin !!|Lang Rangler to Jolyne Cujoh|{{Ch|SO Chapter 46}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Lang Rangler'''|ラング·ラングラー|Rangu Rangurā}} is a [[:Category:Tertiary Antagonist|tertiary antagonist]] featured in the sixth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Stone Ocean]],'' specifically the "[[Savage Garden Strategy (story arc)|Savage Garden Strategy]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
Lang Rangler is an inmate of [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] sent by [[Enrico Pucci]] to assassinate [[Jolyne Cujoh]] and [[Weather Report]] on their way to the prison courtyard in order to stop them from delivering [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s Stand [[DISC]] to the [[Speedwagon Foundation]]. He is a [[Stand]] User and wields [[Jumpin' Jack Flash]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Lang is a man of average to above-average height and medium build.<br />
<br />
Very little can be seen of his face, as he is clad in an assortment of makeshift gear designed to insulate him from the effects of his Stand. This includes a flat-topped hat covering his face to below his eyes with a serrated bottom edge, and goggles. As such, nothing of his hair or even eyes can be distinguished, leaving his actual face enigmatic.<br />

[[File:Lang personality.png|thumb|Lang Rangler smirks as he's about to kill Jolyne]]<br />
Lang Rangler is a calm and analytical [[Stand]] User who is nonetheless prone to overconfidence and murderous outbursts.<br />
<br />
Lang's bio describes him as someone who tends to think about things logically.<ref name="SO42tail">{{Ch|SO Chapter 42}}, tailpiece</ref> Indeed Lang has devised a near fool-proof strategy in order to win his battles. For starters, he's experienced in navigating in a zero-gravity environment, his fingertips having been modified to work as suction cups.<ref name="SO42tail" /> When he's got his targets affected by his power, he then patiently waits outside of his power's ranger so that the zero-gravity environment kills the target and, if need be, shoots them with screws and bolts with specially made centrifugal shooter on his wrists. This allows him to safely wound his target and let the blood flow out of them, causing fatal blood loss.<ref name="SO43P17">{{Ch|SO Chapter 43}}, p.17</ref><ref name="SO44P7">{{Ch|SO Chapter 44}}, p.7</ref> During the fight, he is shown regularly talking to himself, analyzing the situation and the target's actions.<ref name="SO45P14">{{Ch|SO Chapter 45}}, p.14</ref><br />
<br />
Lang Rangler is usually calm but he's prone to violent outbursts when he's upset. He was imprisoned for hijacking and murder, stabbing a female professor sixty-nine times.<ref name="SO46P11">{{Ch|SO Chapter 46}}, p.11</ref> Likewise, when [[Jolyne Cujoh]] proves to be more of threat than he thought, he loses his cool and begins to threaten her and insult her.<ref name="SO46P12">{{Ch|SO Chapter 46}}, p.12</ref><br />
<br />
Lang displays some confidence, if not arrogance in the power of his Stand. He thinks that he can beat [[Whitesnake]].<ref name="SO46P4">{{Ch|SO Chapter 46}}, p.4</ref> and sometimes declares that he's already finished off his targets.<ref name="SO45P7">{{Ch|SO Chapter 45}}, p.7</ref><br />

==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Jumpin' Jack Flash}}<br />
<br />
Lang's [[Stand]] is Jumpin' Jack Flash, enabling him to affect targets with {{W|Weightlessness|weightlessness}}. With the centrifuges at its wrists, it can launch small objects like screws and bolts as bullets.<br />
<br />
Lang also possesses suction cup-like fingertips as a natural ability of his own, affording him further advantage in weightlessness.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Lang Rangler was sentenced to 5 years at [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] for hijacking. However, he also murdered a professor, stabbing her sixty-nine times.<br />
<br />
===Operation: Savage Garden===<br />
[[File:jolyne antigravity.png|thumb|left|Lang appears to steal the Stand DISC]][[File:wr vs lang.png|thumb|Weather Report vs Lang]]<br />
Lang Rangler makes his first appearance when he is caught in a reflection and spotted by Weather Report whilst stalking Jolyne Cujoh, under orders from [[Whitesnake]]. Lang chases after her, Weather, and Emporio on all fours, trying to spit on Jolyne in order to activate his [[Stand]], [[Jumpin' Jack Flash]]. They escape for the time being in a jacket using [[Burning Down the House]], Jolyne heading to the factory to repair her boots. However, she is caught in Lang Rangler's anti-gravitational field and causing the Stand [[DISC]] of [[Jotaro Kujo]], her father, to float out of her coat. Lang Rangler goes to grab it, taking advantage of the anti-gravity environment to deflect Jolyne's attempt to retrieve it and taking hold of the disc. He escapes further into the factory area, but is intercepted by [[Weather Report]], whom he attacks using Jumpin' Jack Flash's centrifuges to fire scrap metal at him.<br />
<br />
When Weather Report neutralizes his attack, he tries to fight directly using his [[Stand]], but his arms burst into flames from the air resistance. To escape, he turns off the zero-gravity, leading to various appliances falling on Weather Report. Security alarms cause the hallways to begin to close, Lang Rangler firing projectiles against the wall to propel himself through the gate just before it closes. However, he is tailed by Jolyne and Weather into the main factory area. <br />
<br />
His Stand's effect of having anything the affected touches become weightless starts to affect the air around Jolyne and Weather, quickly making them start to run out of air. Hiding until his enemies are distracted by their spilling blood, he fires numerous projectiles at Jolyne while she's distracted with plugging up the holes in the area, but she deflects them using [[Stone Free]]. While reloading his gauntlet for ammunition for his Stand, he takes notice of Weather Report's [[Weather Report (Stand)|use of condensed atmosphere]] to form protective oxygen suits for himself and Jolyne, and strafes around Weather Report while the latter tries to fly out of Jolyne's range, firing scrap metal at him. Jolyne deflects the projectiles towards Lang Rangler, but he redirects those with his own. The scrap metal ricochets around the room until it hits an oil drum containing air, which flies across the room and crashes into Weather Report. Lang Rangler fires more scrap metal at Jolyne before she can reach Weather Report, but the deflected bullets hit two rats, who blind Jolyne with their blood as they explode. He fires more projectiles at Jolyne, intending to finish her off for good.<br />
[[File:Jolyne pummels lang.png|thumb|Jolyne defeats Lang]]<br />
As he starts to leave, he wonders if he could beat even Whitesnake with this power, but then notices Stone Free's string tied in his Stand's centrifuges. She yanks him into range of his own stand, leaving him to writhe in the vacuum created by the effects of his attack. Reaching into one of the sneakers wrapped around his ankles, he takes disinfectant and manganese dioxide and mixes them together in a jar, creating pure oxygen. He throws it at Jolyne and breaks her protective suit, however, Weather gives up his own for her, causing him to think of an escape plan. Lang Rangler releases the zero-gravity field, but the rush of air brings Jolyne straight to him, as she delivers a punch-rush that sends him into the laundry basket, retiring him. Jolyne takes his entry pass for the courtyard and uses that, along with his hat, to open the door to the courtyard.<br />

<br />
*Lang Rangler was originally charged for murder in the [[Weekly Shonen Jump]] release. It was changed to hijacking in the [[SO Volume 5|tankoban]] release.<br />
*In the coloured version of Stone Ocean, Lang Rangler has his shoulders as being part of his suit instead of being exposed, as seen in the original black and white pages. This is a colouring error that is continued throughout Rangler's arc.<br />

As he starts to leave, he wonders if he could beat even Whitesnake with this power, but then notices Stone Free's string tied in his Stand's centrifuges. She yanks him into range of his own stand, leaving him to writhe in the vacuum created by the effects of his attack. Reaching into one of the sneakers wrapped around his ankles, he takes disinfectant and manganese dioxide and mixes them together in a jar, creating pure oxygen. He throws it at Jolyne and breaks her protective suit, however, Weather gives up his own for her, causing him to think of an escape plan. Lang Rangler releases the zero-gravity field, but the rush of air brings Jolyne straight to him, as she delivers a punch-rush that sends him into the laundry basket, retiring him. Jolyne takes his entry pass for the courtyard and uses that, along with his hat, to open the door to the courtyard.<br />

*Lang Rangler was originally charged for murder in the [[Weekly Shonen Jump]] release. It was changed to hijacking in the [[SO Volume 5|tankoban]] release.<br />
*In the version of Stone Ocean, Lang Rangler has his shoulders as being part of his suit instead of being exposed, as seen in the original black and white pages. This is a colouring error that is continued throughout Rangler's arc.<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
{{Quote|Put simply, the theme of this work is 'living'. Through the two main characters, I want to examine two ways of living. It's all about singing the hymn of the battle between 'human' and 'non-human' ...|[[Hirohiko Araki]], [[Author's Note (Phantom Blood)#Vol. 1|author's note, Vol. 1]]}}<br />
===Prologue===<br />
{{Main|Chapter 1|Prologue}}<br />
<br />
Between the 12th and 16th centuries, an [[Aztec Chief|Aztec chieftain]] wearing a [[Stone Mask]] stains his mask with a [[Maiden|young woman]]'s blood, as part of an [[Aztec Tribe|Aztec tribe]]'s human sacrifice. This causes many spikes to sprout from the mask, nonlethally piercing the man's skull. The man claims to have gained eternal life, showing off his ability to suck another tribesman's blood with his finger as well as his superhuman strength. It is revealed that this tribe attempted to take over the world, only to vanish for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jonathan Meets Dio.png|thumb|220x220px|Jonathan and Dio meet for the first time]]<br />
In 1880, at {{W|Liverpool}}, England,<ref name="ch01">{{Ch|Chapter 1}}</ref> a young [[Jonathan Joestar]] (known to his friends as JoJo) peacefully lives at his father [[George Joestar I]]'s wealthy estate. Another young boy from {{W|London}}, [[Dio Brando]], is adopted by them due to his father [[Dario Brando]]'s death. George believed that he and his infant son were rescued by Dario during a stagecoach accident in which his [[Mary Joestar|wife]] lost her life; in reality, Dario was attempting to loot their corpses.<br />
Jonathan attempts to befriend Dio, unaware of his plan to break his spirit through constant bullying and earn George's trust so that he can become the sole heir to the Joestar fortune.<br />
<br />
===Dio Brando the Invader===<br />
{{Main|Dio Brando the Invader (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
As part of his scheme, Dio torments Jonathan in various ways: he knees his dog [[Danny]] in the jaw, violently beats him in a boxing match, and turns all of his friends against him, all the while presenting himself before Jonathan's father as a better gentleman and student than his adoptive brother. When Jonathan finds solace in a relationship with [[Erina Pendleton]], Dio steals her first kiss.<br />
<br />
This final affront makes Jonathan angry enough to openly confront Dio, and gives him the strength to beat him for the first time. A few droplets of Dio's blood fall onto the Stone Mask, causing its spikes to extend and push it off the wall. Only Dio and Jonathan witness the mask's activation; while the former maintains it to be nothing more than a torture instrument, the young Joestar will eventually begin pursuing research in the fields of archaeology and ethnology to discover the history behind the artifact. Dio learns from the fight that Jonathan is tougher than he thought; after burning Danny in an incinerator as revenge, he decides to bide his time and try to earn Jonathan's trust.<br />
<br />
===The Stone Mask===<br />

====A Letter from the Past====<br />
{{Main|A Letter from the Past (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|The Stone Mask (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Johnthan stop dio.png|left|thumb|220x220px|JoJo discovers that Dio is poisoning his father]]<br />
Seven years later, in the year 1888, Jonathan and Dio have become friendly and trustworthy toward each other. The two have also become top students, nearing graduation in their respective fields. The two visit George, who has fallen ill in the interim. Jonathan becomes suspicious of Dio's excessive care for him, certain that he has ulterior motives. While continuing his research on the Stone Mask, Jonathan discovers the letter written by Dario Brando that was sent to George Joestar upon his death. In the letter, Dario describes his symptoms, which are identical to George's mysterious illness. Jonathan confronts Dio, believing that Dio must have poisoned his father and is planning to do the same with his own father. Jonathan steals a dose of George's medicine for testing, and Dio decides to dispose of Jonathan before he is exposed.<br />
<br />
[[File:Dio uses the mask updated.jpg|thumb|320x320px|Dio uses the Stone Mask on himself]]<br />
<br />
Dio reasons that if he makes Jonathan wear the mask and then activates it with blood, his ensuing death will be written off as a research accident due to his known interest in the artifact. However, to be assured of the lethal effect of the mask, Dio takes to the streets and uses it on a drunken beggar. To his horror, the mask's spikes do not kill his test subject, but instead rather transform him into a [[Vampire|vampire]] blessed with superhuman strength and eternal youth. The vampire tries to suck Dio's blood, but Dio is saved from the monster's attack when the sun rises, causing it to disintegrate.<br />
<br />
Returning home, still shaken from the recent events, Dio is surrounded by police constables summoned by Jonathan. In a daring trip to [[Ogre Street]], Jonathan had managed to befriend the honorable criminal [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]] and apprehend the Chinese merchant [[Wang Chan]], who had originally sold Dio the poison. Though Dio appears to be cornered, Dio brandishes the Stone Mask and attempts to stab Jonathan. George takes the blow, but his blood is sufficient for the mask's activation, and Dio dons the Stone Mask triumphantly before being shot down by the policemen.<br />
<br />
====Youth with Dio====<br />
{{Main|Youth with Dio (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
As George's life comes to an end, he tells Jonathan to forgive Dio and bury him alongside his father. Suddenly, Dio slaughters the policemen and wounds Speedwagon, having successfully become a vampire. In his attempts to kill the seemingly invulnerable creature, Jonathan resorts to burning down the [[Joestar Mansion]] while trapping Dio inside. With great difficulties and impressive feats of strength, Jonathan manages to skewer the vampire on the [[Minor Items|Statue of the Goddess of Love]]. Though Speedwagon fears the worst, Jonathan survives via being blown out of a window.<br />
<br />
After the battle, Jonathan is hospitalized. Through chance, Erina Pendleton serves as his nurse, and the two rekindle their relationship. Meanwhile, Wang Chan searches the ruins of the mansion to find and sell the Stone Mask, but is instead [[Zombie|zombified]] by Dio, who has survived his fight with Jonathan.<br />
<br />
===To Windknight's Lot===<br />
<br />
====Ripple Overdrive====<br />
{{Main|Jack the Ripper and Zeppeli the Strange (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|Ripple Overdrive (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Some time after the fire, Jonathan and Erina meet [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], an Italian baron who utilizes a strange energy called the {{nihongo|'''[[Ripple]]'''|波紋|Hamon}}. Zeppeli explains that the Ripple is a martial arts technique that allows the user to focus bodily energy into other kinds of energy, including sunlight energy, via proper breathing. After Zeppeli teaches Jonathan how to use the Ripple, the two encounter Wang Chan, who is defeated by Jonathan's Zoom Punch technique but escapes.<br />
<br />
The two Ripple users, now accompanied by Speedwagon, take a stagecoach through the tunnel leading to the town of [[Windknight's Lot]], where Wang Chan has escaped to, according to Speedwagon's information. However, the group is soon attacked by a zombified [[Jack the Ripper]]. Zeppeli manages to wound Jack, but he escapes into an underground labyrinth hidden in the tunnel. Zeppeli tells Jonathan to finish him off without spilling a drop of a glass of wine. In the tunnels, Jonathan learns to use the Ripple in conjunction with the glass to sense the zombie's position, and kills him via his Ripple Overdrive.<br />
<br />
The group exits the tunnel, and Windknight's Lot comes into view. Suddenly, a boy named [[Poco]] steals the group's luggage, forcing Jonathan and Zeppeli to chase him. However, after being knocked down by Jonathan's Ripple, Poco retains no memory of his encounter with the group. Having been lured into a graveyard during the chase, the group realizes that Dio had hypnotized the boy to act as a trap. Dio appears to the group, having almost fully healed from his injuries, and his zombie army begins its assault. Zeppeli attacks Dio, but discovers with horror that Dio has developed a freezing technique to counter the Ripple. Though Jonathan steps in to assist Zeppeli, both are overwhelmed by Dio's ability and knocked away.<br />
<br />
====The Dark Knights====<br />
{{Main|Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|Pluck for Tomorrow and the Successor (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Now confident in his superiority to the Ripple users, Dio summons two exceptionally powerful zombies: [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]], legendary knights who had served as key individuals in the 1565 feud between {{W|Elizabeth I}} and {{W|Mary, Queen of Scots}}. Having retained his pride, Bruford asks Dio to challenge Jonathan alone. Dio, assured of his victory, gives his assent and leaves for Windknight's Lot. With Tarkus preventing the group from interfering, Bruford and Jonathan have their duel. Though Bruford drives Jonathan underwater, Jonathan discovers that both water and the metal of [[Luck and Pluck|Bruford's sword Luck]] easily conduct the Ripple, and manages to gravely injure the knight.<br />
<br />
Bruford attempts one last attack, but stops his sword at the last moment; it is revealed that the Ripple has restored his noble human soul. After learning Jonathan's name, Bruford entrusts him with his sword, which he renames to Pluck with his blood, before succumbing to his injuries and disintegrating. Tarkus then begins his assault on the group, forcing them to flee using a glider made of leaves fused together by the Ripple. As the group flees, Zeppeli reveals how he came to learn the Ripple.<br />
<br />
[[File:Will dies to save jonathan.png|thumb|220x220px|Zeppeli dies to save JoJo]]<br />
Tarkus suddenly jumps toward the group, causing them to crash into a cliffside castle that once served as a training ground for knights. Tarkus's incredible strength allows him to not only survive the fall, but to climb the wall towards the group. Jonathan steps inside the ruins to find a safe place for Poco to hide, but finds himself trapped by a collar around his neck as the door closes. Tarkus recognizes the [[Windknight's Lot#Chamber of the Two-Headed Dragon|Chamber of the Two-Headed Dragon]], and collars himself to engage Jonathan in a Chain Neck Deathmatch.<br />
<br />
Jonathan is unable to breathe properly due to the collar, rendering him unable to use the Ripple. Meanwhile, Poco recalls his sister's warnings about fear, and finds the courage to sneak inside the room and open the door from the inside, allowing Zeppeli and Speedwagon to enter. Zeppeli, remembering Tonpetty's prophecy of his death, sacrifices himself to save Jonathan and transfer all of his life energy to him. Empowered by Zeppeli's energy, Jonathan breaks his collar and pummels Tarkus. Afterward, the group says their last goodbyes to Zeppeli, who passes away peacefully.<br />
<br />
===The Bloody Battle===<br />
<br />
====The Three from a Faraway Land====<br />
{{Main|The Three from a Faraway Land (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Jonathan points at Dio.png|left|thumb|220x220px|JoJo confronts Dio]]<br />
The group finally reaches Windknight's Lot. A man named [[Adams]] accosts Poco about being up so late, only to reveal himself to be a zombie when the group turns their backs on him. Jonathan defeats Adams, but is immediately attacked by a man named [[Dire]] and his Thunder Split Attack technique. After Jonathan headbutts him, Dire ceases his attack and reveals that he was summoned by a letter from Zeppeli, along with his master [[Tonpetty]] and his fellow disciple [[Straizo]]. The group enter Dio's castle, where Jonathan rescues Poco's sister from the snake zombie [[Doobie]] before directly confronting Dio. Dire steps forward, claiming his right to avenge Zeppeli before Jonathan, having known him far longer. Dire attacks Dio with his special technique, Thunder Cross Split Attack, but Dio's freezing technique shatters his body before he can land a hit. Landing in a bowl of roses, Dire's head manages to fire a Ripple-infused rose into Dio's eye before shattering completely. Dio enters a fit of rage, calling upon his zombie horde to attack the group. [[Page, Jones, Plant, and Bornnam|Four zombies]] surround Poco and his sister, but are defeated by Straizo.<br />
<br />
====Fire and Ice====<br />
{{Main|Fire and Ice, Jonathan and Dio (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
The battle between Dio and Jonathan begins. Jonathan throws a flurry of roses at Dio, moves to his blind spot, and slices Dio's head open with Bruford's sword, now called Luck & Pluck. However, Dio reveals that he has frozen the sword, trapping Jonathan's arms and legs. Dio begins injecting his zombie essence into Jonathan's carotid artery, but Jonathan manages to defrost himself with the fires surrounding them and ejects the zombie essence from his bloodstream. By setting his own hand aflame, Jonathan manages to land a direct hit on Dio, filling his body with the Ripple. Dio is sent flying off a balcony; though he fires high-pressure fluid from his eyes as a last-ditch attack, he appears to be disintegrated by Jonathan's Ripple. Jonathan and the group finish off Dio's remaining zombies and destroy the Stone Mask the next morning, having successfully saved the town; the group remains unaware that Dio has managed to tear off his own head before the Ripple can reach it, and that he has escaped along with Wang Chan.<br />
<br />
====The Final Ripple====<br />
{{Main|Fire and Ice, Jonathan and Dio (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Jonathan's Ultimate Sacrifice.png|thumb|168x168px|The death of Jonathan Joestar]]<br />
Three months after the events in Windknight's Lot, Jonathan marries Erina. Jonathan's friends see the couple off as they board a ship to America for their honeymoon. But in the middle of the voyage, Jonathan suddenly spots Wang Chan. After warning Erina to hide in her room, Jonathan chases Wang Chan into the engine room, where it is revealed that Dio's head has boarded the ship in secret within a special explosion-proof coffin. Dio reveals to Jonathan that he plans to kill him and attach his own head to Jonathan's body before arriving in America. Dio again fires the eye fluid attack, piercing Jonathan's neck and rendering him unable to breathe. Erina arrives to witness Jonathan's wounded state, but a horde of zombies appear behind her. Though Dio commands Wang Chan to slice off Jonathan's head, Jonathan uses the last of his Ripple to destroy Wang Chan's own head, causing his body to jam the ship's screw shaft and trigger an explosion.<br />
<br />
Jonathan, further wounded by shrapnel from the engine, urges Erina to save an [[Lisa Lisa|orphaned baby]] and escape, despite her own will to stay with him. Dio wraps his neck's tendrils around Jonathan's neck, but Jonathan uses the shrapnel to cut his tendrils and stab him. Jonathan grips Dio's head in his arms, reflecting on their intertwined fates. Dio offers Jonathan eternal life with Erina, only to find that Jonathan has already died from his wounds. As Erina hides inside Dio's coffin, the ship explodes with both men inside.<br />
<br />
Erina reflects on the life Jonathan Joestar lived. Though history will never know Jonathan's heroic deeds, Erina resolves that his descendants, including the [[George Joestar II|unborn child]] inside her, will hear of the life he lived. Two days later, Erina is rescued near the Canary Islands, bringing the tale of Jonathan's life to a close but beginning a new era of adventure.<br />

==Plot Summary==<br />
===New York's JoJo===<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Joseph Joestar of New York (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|Straizo vs. Joseph (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
In the winter of 1938, having became a wealthy businessman, [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]], and his [[Speedwagon Foundation]] has discovered a Mexican pyramid where they found various [[Stone Mask]]s along with a [[Santana|man]] integrated into a stone column. Fearing the worst, that the horror he and his old friend [[Jonathan Joestar]] have thwarted 49 years ago may resurface, Speedwagon contacted [[Straizo]] to meet him in Mexico for his aid in destroying the masks and the mysterious figure before he awakens. However, Straizo suddenly kills Speedwagon's associates before badly injuring Speedwagon himself. Enticed by the youthfulness and vigor the Stone Mask granted Dio, Straizo uses the spilled blood to activate the Mask and transforms into a Vampire while explaining he intends to eliminate any who know of the Masks.<br />
<br />
[[File:Joseph Manga Faceshot.png|thumb|220x220px|The series new protagonist: Joseph Joestar]]<br />
Meanwhile, in {{W|New York City}}, Jonathan's grandson [[Joseph Joestar]] defeats a pair of police officers for brutalizing a pickpocket named [[Smokey Brown]] and demonstrates his ability to utilize [[Ripple]]. Joseph befriends Smokey as he and his grandmother [[Erina Pendleton|Erina Joestar]] make the boy feel welcomed. Joseph is soon informed by a mobster of Speedwagon's presumed death at the hand of Straizo.<br />
<br />
Later after sunset, Joseph is confronted outside a cafe by a vampirized Straizo who intends to kill him before he becomes an actual threat. But Joseph expected the vampire and, after a heated battle, Straizo is defeated. Straizo reveals that after he became a vampire, he was forced to dump Speedwagon and his victims into the river to prevent the spilled blood from reviving the figure in the stone column. The Vampire finally self-destructs by breathing the Ripple into himself.<br />
<br />
===In Mexico===<br />
{{Main|The Pillar Man, Santana (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Joseph encounters Santana.png|thumb|220x220px|Joseph encountering Santana|left]]<br />
<br />
Disturbed by Straizo's final words, Joseph travels to Mexico and learns from an assassin named [[Donovan]] that the Nazis under the command of [[Rudol von Stroheim]] have taken Speedwagon prisoner. Stroheim and his forces are revealed to have extracted the Pillar Man and proceed to revive him for research purposes. Once the being, dubbed [[Santana|"Santana"]] by Stroheim, is awakened, he demonstrates fantastic, superhuman abilities as he kills most of those present. But Joseph, having infiltrated the Nazis' base, intervenes.<br />
<br />
The battle against the superhuman Santana pushes Joseph to his limits and Stroheim is forced to trigger a grenade against his chest to stop the creature. Nonetheless, Joseph manages to expose Santana to sunlight once storing Santana's remains at the Washington Branch of the Speedwagon Foundation, Joseph, who has learned from Stroheim that a trio of [[Pillar Men]] are sleeping in Rome, is sent to meet a certain ally.<br />
<br />
===In Italy===<br />

<br />
[[File:The Pillar Men Awaken.png|thumb|220x220px|The Pillar Men awakened]]<br />
<br />
Once in Rome, Joseph cross paths with Speedwagon's contact in Italy: [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli]], grandson of [[Will A. Zeppeli]]. The two youths don't get along well as Caesar blames Jonathan for his grandfather's death and called Joseph's win against Santana dumb luck. Unbeknownst to them, the Pillar Men are already awakening under the [[Colosseum]].<br />
<br />
Joseph, Speedwagon, and Caesar arrive at the underground cave where the Pillar Men are; however, the Pillar Men, [[Wamuu]], [[Esidisi]] and [[Kars]], have already awakened and killed the Germans. Joseph and Caesar confront the three Pillar Men, but the three are already familiar with Ripple users and have developed counters. Both Joseph and Caesar are easily overwhelmed by Wamuu, though as Wamuu prepares to deal a mortal blow to Joseph, the latter promises that with a month of training, he can make a worthy adversary. As Wamuu loves to battle, he accepts Joseph's challenge, but implants a [[Wedding Ring of Death]] on Joseph's aorta to keep him from running away. He explains the ring will dissolve into a poison within 33 days while revealing the antidote to be inside his lip ring. [[Esidisi]], also places his own ring around Joseph's windpipe to seal his death, with the antidote in his own nose piercing. The Pillar Men's leader [[Kars]] passes on the game as the trio take their leave to find the [[Red Stone of Aja]]. Caesar soon respects Joseph for his heroic resistance.<br />

<br />
[[File:Lisa Lisa Shows our Heroes the red stone.png|thumb|220px|Lisa Lisa displaying the Super Aja's energy magnification]]<br />
Wanting to teach Joseph to master his Ripple, Caesar takes him to Venice to meet his mentor: the masterful and beautiful [[Lisa Lisa]]. Lisa Lisa, assisted by her servant [[Loggins]] and [[Messina]], harshly train Joseph and Caesar and manage to shape them into Ripple masters in three weeks. Near the end of their training, Lisa Lisa reveals to Joseph and Caesar that Kars is the one who created Stone Masks such as the one that caused their grandfathers' deaths. She also reveals that Kars is seeking a flawless [[Red Stone of Aja]], the Super Aja in her possession to perfect the Mask and use it to become the ultimate life-form.<br />
<br />
[[File:Esidisi Slap Manga.png|left|thumb|220px|Joseph battling Esidisi]]<br />
With a week left until the rings inside Joseph dissolve and kill him, Lisa Lisa pits Joseph and Caesar against Loggins and Messina respectively for their final test. However, when Joseph reaches his destination, he finds Loggins has been killed by Esidisi who has learned of the Super Aja's location. Joseph proceeds to battle Esidisi, but the Pillar Man's wits are a match for Joseph's. The Ripple warrior still manages to use sleight of hand and binds Esidisi with rope of woolen strings, dealing a seemingly fatal blow to the Pillar Man and getting rid of Esidisi's ring.<br />
<br />
In truth, Esidisi has survived. Infiltrating Lisa Lisa's island and possessing her servant [[Suzi Q]], the Pillar Man sends the Super Aja to his allies through the postman. Esidisi threatens to kill Suzi Q, but Joseph and Caesar cooperate to finish him off. Lisa Lisa uses hypnosis on Suzi Q and learns that the Stone is aboard a train headed to Switzerland. Thus Joseph, Caesar, Lisa Lisa and Messina drive off to catch the package before it reaches its destination.<br />
<br />

<br />
Reaching the Swiss border, Joseph and his group find the train had been stopped by customs as the Nazi retrieved the package. The leader of the Nazis who appears familiar with Joseph invites the group to a log cabin up ahead. Later on that evening, Kars attacks the cabin to retrieve the Super Aja. The nazi leader revealed to be Stroheim rebuilt as a cyborg matching Santana's power, is easily defeated. However, Stroheim manages to make Kars drop the Stone, which is sliding toward a cliff. A struggle then ensues between Joseph and Kars for possession of the Stone, ending in Joseph managing to snatch victory as Kars is sent tumbling down a cliff. Unfazed by what amounts to a little setback, Kars allows the humans to hold on to the Red Stone a little longer.<br />
<br />
The next day at St. Moritz, learning the Pillar Men are taking residence in the San Moritz hotel, Caesar wishes to ambush Kars during the day before Wamuu returns. But Joseph objects as it might be a trap. A fight ensues, and an angry Caesar accompanied by Messina decide to go to the hotel without support. Lisa Lisa tells Joseph of Caesar's tragic past, having assumed his father [[Mario Zeppeli|Mario]] left the family before he died to save him from being devoured by the resting Pillar Men. The story convinces Joseph to follow after Caesar.<br />
<br />
[[File:Caesars Human soul sacrifice.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Caesar's final ripple]]<br />
However as Caesar reaches the San Mortiz, he and Messina are attacked by Wamuu, who is using streams of moist air to both protect him from the sunlight. Wamuu manages to drag to fight inside the hotel, but Caesar corner the Pillar Man by using bubble lenses to direct the sunlight to him. In a moment of anger, Caesar jumps toward Wamuu to deal the final blow. But Wamuu takes advantage of the split-second of Caesar blotting out the sunlight to counter with a point-blank Divine Sandstorm that fatally injures Caesar. Caesar is defeated but as a last defiant act, steals Wamuu's lip ring for Joseph and secures it before a piece of the ceiling crushes him. Wamuu respects Caesar's last gesture and the basis of his valiant fight, allowing the bubble to remain for Joseph and Lisa Lisa as they eventually arrive and mourn Caesar's death. The two decide to venture further inside the building. Despite having Wamuu's lip ring, Joseph vows not to drink the antidote until he has defeated the Pillar Man and avenged Caesar.<br />

<br />
[[File:Wamuu pillar with joseph.png|thumb|right|190px|Joseph facing Wamuu in the Chariot Race]]<br />
Joseph and Lisa Lisa eventually find the Pillar Men, finding themselves greatly outnumbered by their hundred vampire minions. Lisa Lisa manages to hold off their attack with a bluff that she rigged a time bomb to destroy the Super Aja if she and Joseph are unable to return or it, suggesting two one-on-one matches to settle things. Kars grudgingly accepts; the next night, Joseph, Lisa Lisa, Wamuu, and Kars meet at the [[Skeleton Heel Stone]] at the foot of Piz Bernina. Putting on Caesar's bandana, Joseph engages Wamuu in a chariot race super-powered by vampire horses. Ultimately, despite his opponent gouging his own eyes out for an edge, Joseph is able to defeat Wamuu whose body is destroyed in the process. Joseph takes the time to honor Wamuu and drinks the antidote before his head, then salutes him. Only remains Kars.<br />
<br />
The final showdown between Lisa Lisa and Kars begins. Unexpectedly, Kars uses a body double to distract Lisa Lisa and stabs her from behind, then unleashes his Vampires on an out-of-breath Joseph. All seems to be over until an upgraded Stroheim, the Nazis, Speedwagon and a corp of Speedwagon Foundation agents, and Smokey arrive to help Joseph. While the Vampires are distracted, Joseph confronts Kars. The devious Pillar Man used the unconscious Lisa Lisa as a shield and forces Joseph to try to save her while Kars prepares to attack. It is here that Lisa Lisa is revealed to be the biological mother of Joseph, Elizabeth Joestar.<br />
<br />
It is also explained that her [[George Joestar II|husband]], Joseph's father, was killed by the last of Dio's [[zombie]] troops while posing as a high-ranking air force commander, but when Elizabeth killed the zombie, she was sighted by another unaware officer and forced to go into hiding as a fugitive, taking on the pseudonym "Lisa Lisa" for her own safety.<br />
<br />
In the present, Joseph nonetheless manages to trick Kars and hits him with the Ripple, making the Pillar Man fall on the ground. The Nazis try to kill Kars while he's down with UV lights, but at the last moment, Kars dons a Stone Mask with the Red Stone of Aja embedded in it. Using the light to his advantage, Kars becomes the Ultimate Life form.<br />

<br />
[[File:Ultimate form Kars.png|thumb|220x220px|Kars becomes the Ultimate Lifeform]]At first, Kars doesn't appear to have changed much, however he quickly displays an incredible ability to transform into any lifeform and his newfound immunity to the sun. Everyone in despair, Joseph makes a strategic retreat in order to lure out Kars by piloting a plane away from the scene.<br />
<br />
Joseph plans to lure the Ultimate Lifeform into a volcano, but as he closes on it, Kars manages to disable the plane. Joseph and Stroheim, who had been hiding inside the plane, manage to lure Kars in and use the crashing plane to send him into the lava.<br />
<br />
Kars unexpectedly reemerges unscathed from the lava and severs Joseph's left arm with a sneak attack. Both Joseph and Stroheim realize that they cannot hope to defeat the Ultimate Lifeform and accept their deaths. Yet, when Kars prepares to deal the final blow to Joseph with a Ripple-infused punch, Joseph uses the Super Aja and empowers greatly Kars' blow. The surge of energy shoots through Joseph's hand and hits the volcano, which under the influence of the Ripple, begins to erupt, sending Kars into space.In the void, Kars has no way to reach back to Earth and a defense mechanism of his kicks in, freezing his body solid and making him unable to travel back to Earth. Damned with immortality due to his newfound powers, Kars eventually becomes brain-dead in the endless vacuum of space.<br />
<br />
===Conclusion===<br />
[[File:Joseph is alive manga.png|thumb|left|280px|Against all odds, Joseph has survived his adventure]]Weeks later the group of Erina, Lisa Lisa, Messina, Smokey, and Speedwagon pay their respects as they have a funeral for the assumed-to-be-dead Joseph Joestar, but to their surprise, Joseph appears, alive and well, and unaware of whose funeral he decided to interrupt. After seeing his own name on the headstone, he explains that after falling back down from the sky he has landed up in Italy where he is helped by a local fisherman. After finding and marrying Suzi Q, he has then returned to America and his friends. Unfortunately, Suzi Q forgot to inform the group that Joseph was alive, hence the funeral. Enraged, Joseph chases his wife through the cemetery while his comrades celebrate his survival.<br />

[[File:Dio Casket Manga.png|thumb|left|230x230px|DIO's Casket found by treasure hunters]]<br />
In 1983 near the Canary Islands, a trio of treasure hunters bring up a casket bearing the engraving of the name "[[Dio Brando|DIO]]" around dusk. When the ship was found days later, only the empty coffin remained.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jotaro Bullet Manga.png|right|thumb|220x220px|Jotaro's "evil spirit"]]<br />
The story begins in the year 1988 in '''Tokyo''', '''Japan''', with [[Holy Kujo]], daughter of [[Joseph Joestar]], visiting her son [[Jotaro Kujo]] after learning he is in jail for having beaten up four people. However, the reason Holy was called was because Jotaro refuses to leave his cell, explaining that he is possessed by an [[Star Platinum|evil spirit]]. When nobody believes him, he steals a gun and demonstrates its power when it prevents him from shooting himself in the head. Only Holy can see the "spirit" as Jotaro restates his intent to stay in his cell for everyone's well-being.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jotaro and His evil spirit Manga.png|thumb|left|Jotaro and his "evil spirit"]]<br />
Holy calls her estranged [[Joseph Joestar|father]], who flies to Japan and arrives at the airport with Holy and his fortune-telling companion [[Muhammad Avdol]]. At the police station, he tells the latter to force Jotaro out of his cell by any means. During the fight between [[Star Platinum|Jotaro's "spirit]]" and Avdol's [[Magician's Red]], Jotaro learns from Joseph that the spirit in his possession is actually a manifestation of his lifeforce, named a '''[[Stand]]'''. Jotaro's stand gains the upper hand but he exits his cell in the process, prompting Avdol to end the battle.<br />
<br />
Joseph displays his Stand [[Hermit Purple]], which enables him to take [[Minor Items#Spirit Photographs|photographs]] of faraway places, while he and Avdol explain that Stands manifest in the descendants of those with Stands. Joseph states that the reason he and Jotaro have gained Stands is because of the reemergence of [[Dio Brando|'''DIO''']]. Knowing only what his grandmother [[Erina Pendleton|Erina]] told him, Joseph explains that DIO succeeded in grafting his head onto the body of [[Jonathan Joestar]], which created a link between DIO and Jonathan's descendants. Although Joseph tries to recruit his grandson against the [[Vampire]] who has long eluded him, Jotaro hardly believes his story and proof.<br />
<br />
[[File:Noriaki Kakyoin Manga appearence.png|right|thumb|220x220px|Noriaki Kakyoin]]<br />
The following day, Jotaro heads out to high school as he is stalked by a transfer student named [[Noriaki Kakyoin]]. Revealing himself as an assassin sent by DIO to kill those of the Joestar bloodline, Kakyoin uses his Stand [[Hierophant Green]] to attack Jotaro. But Jotaro's Stand easily overpowers Kakyoin, who is taken to the Kujo residence where he is revealed to be brainwashed by a parasitic spore produced by DIO.

<br />
He subsequently plays against Jotaro at "[[Minor Items#Oh! That's A Baseball!|Oh! That's a Baseball!]]".

<br />
===English Language Edition===<br />
''Stardust Crusaders'' was the first part to be officially released in English. This release of Stardust Crusaders used the original Japanese [[wiki:Tankōbon|''Tankōbon's'']] chapter count and page layout with the exception that [[Volume 13|Volume 1]] had the last chapter of Japanese [[Volume 12]] and a summary of previous events since Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency were not released in the US. The series is edited by Jason Thompson, author of ''{{W|Manga: The Complete Guide}}''.<br />
<br />
Some of the characters and Stands' names were changed due to copyright laws as many of the names were musical references. One example would be that the character of [[Devo the Cursed|Devo's]] name was changed to Soul Sacrifice in the English release.<br />
<br />
Minor edits were made to artwork, as various scenes of animal violence were redrawn by Hirohiko Araki for the English release. [[Volume 15|Volume 4]] featured a single panel of a dog being decapitated which was redrawn from an alternate angle, and [[Volume 18|Volume 6]] has several redrawn panels where a mutilated dog was changed into a large rat.<br />
<br />
Due to a controversy regarding one scene involving DIO apparently reading the {{W|Qur'an}} in the OVA, Viz Media and Shueisha paused publication for a year, even though the manga did not feature that specific scene. However, Shueisha had Araki (or his assistants) redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of or destroying buildings resembling {{W|mosque|mosques}}. Viz resumed publication on April 7, 2009, with Volume 11 and this publication ended on December 7, 2010 with Volume 16.<br />
<br />
On November 1, 2016. Stardust Crusaders was released in English as part of Viz Media's English Language versions of the [[JoJonium]] edition volumes. These volumes contained an increased chapter count, hardcover release and the original colored pages from Weekly Shonen Jump, this release of Stardust Crusaders would continue until February 5, 2019 when it's final volume was released completing the story with 10 hardcover volumes. Currently this release of Stardust Crusaders can be found on Viz Media's [https://www.viz.com/shonenjump Shonen Jump Digital Library].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Many characters were not named until the release of additional materials like the artbooks.<br />
*[[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] describes the basis for Part 3 as like a board game, traveling between a series of stops; and further inspiration from the film ''Around the World in 80 Days''.<ref>[[Interview:Phantom Blood PS2 (October 2006)]], p.13</ref><br />
*While he began plotting for this part, Araki first pitched it as a modern retelling of ''Dracula''. There was only one person in the room who thought it was a good idea; the rest were utterly confused. His editors told him to have at least one Japanese character/story arc prior to this part, as they felt the story had too many foreign characters and settings for the comic's target audience.<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4791701704/atmarkjojo-22/ref=nosim/ 2007 Eureka issue]</ref><br />
*''[[Clamp in Wonderland]]'' represents a popular, classic tribute/''doujinshi'' to ''Part 3''.<br />
