{{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 side character 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 a 19-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 />
==Personality==<br />
Joshu is a 19-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'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 midly 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 [[Minor Characters#Nanami Rena|Nanami Rena]].<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 />

Joshu has a level of fighting competence, shown when he easily overtakes a newly-awakened Josuke who has shown to be proficient in unarmed combat.<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 (2012)===<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 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. 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 />
[[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] has returned from his business trip to South-east Asia and brought everyone gifts. Joshu receives a fake lobster, but it seems the rest of the [[Higashikata Family]] has received 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 [[Minor Characters#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. [[List of Unnamed Stands#Kaato.27s Stand|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)|Endless Calamity (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. While Yasuho prepares for battle, Joshu panics as the loss of his right arm because he wasn't fully aware of what he would sacrifice. Joshu quickly changes his mind 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.<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.<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]]: Jobin'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 uses this as an opportunity to have an intercourse with her until he gets knocked out by her. 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 />

==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 leave opponents vulnerable if he guards or dodges the 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 nuts fall from their body. He then punches them with his other hand and sends them flying, leaving them '''Panicked''' for a short amount of time. While Panicked, opponents cannot use any skills nor guard, rendering them especially vulnerable. The effect will be lifted early if Joshu is hit by certain attacks or a DHA.<br />
*'''The Screw''': Joshu falls backwards and sits on the ground as Nut King Call advances forward with its arm outstretched. If NKC connects with an opponent, it will implant large bolts into 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 generates 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 (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 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 only a matter of seconds, 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|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 side character 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 a 19-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 />
==Personality==<br />
Joshu is a 19-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'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 midly 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 [[Minor Characters#Nanami Rena|Nanami Rena]].<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 (2012)===<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 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. 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 />
[[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] has returned from his business trip to South-east Asia and brought everyone gifts. Joshu receives a fake lobster, but it seems the rest of the [[Higashikata Family]] has received 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 [[Minor Characters#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. [[List of Unnamed Stands#Kaato.27s Stand|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)|Endless Calamity (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. While Yasuho prepares for battle, Joshu panics as the loss of his right arm because he wasn't fully aware of what he would sacrifice. Joshu quickly changes his mind 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.<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.<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 as 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]]: Jobin'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 uses this as an opportunity to have an intercourse with her until he gets knocked out by her. 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 />

==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 leave opponents vulnerable if he guards or dodges the 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 nuts fall from their body. He then punches them with his other hand and sends them flying, leaving them '''Panicked''' for a short amount of time. While Panicked, opponents cannot use any skills nor guard, rendering them especially vulnerable. The effect will be lifted early if Joshu is hit by certain attacks or a DHA.<br />
*'''The Screw''': Joshu falls backwards and sits on the ground as Nut King Call advances forward with its arm outstretched. If NKC connects with an opponent, it will implant large bolts into 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 generates 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 (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 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 only a matter of seconds, 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 />

{{Quote|No matter how strong a man is, he needs respite — not in love, in something greater! Something to devote himself to! Mary provided that for them. That is why she was fit to be queen...|{{UN|Narrator}}|[[Chapter 27]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Mary Stuart'''|メアリー・スチュアート|Mearī Suchuāto}} is a minor character featured in the first part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
<br />
She is the queen of {{W|Scotland}} until 1565 when she and her {{W|Cousin|first cousin once removed}}, [[Elizabeth I]], start fighting over the throne. [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]] are her faithful retainers and her eventual death from Elizabeth's orders leads to the two knights cursing humanity and demanding vengeance.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Mary Stuart is a beautiful young woman with a warm smile.<ref name=C27 /> She has short neck-length braided hair and wears a tiara with a gemstone in the center, hanging over her forehead. Her attire consists of a long gown with puffy sleeves along with a {{W|Ruff (clothing)|ruff}} around her neck.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mary is kind and caring, providing respite to the young knights [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]] who had lost their families and had nowhere to go. Her peaceful nature made her fit to be queen as she could easily calm the hearts of the two lonely knights. Regardless of their strength, Mary was capable of giving them hope. Despite Elizabeth accusing her of {{W|mariticide}}, Mary's army pledges loyalty to her and fights for her until their deaths.<ref name=C27 /><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Mary's Army Defeated Anime.jpg|thumb|right|Mary's army defeated]]<br />
At some point, Mary Stuart became the queen of Scotland and later married {{MN|Darnley}}. With great tolerance, she provided respite to the lonely dark knights, [[Tarkus]] and [[Bruford]]. Both were of the {{W|House of Tudor|Tudor Dynasty}} but pledged loyalty to Mary, promising to sacrifice their lives for her if necessary. <br />
<br />
In 1565, 315 years before ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', Mary and her first cousin once removed, [[Elizabeth I]], start battling over the throne. One day, tragedy struck in the form of a sudden explosion. Darnley died but the true cause of his death was unknown to history. Elizabeth took the opportunity to accuse Mary for his death, turning the population against Mary. Nobles from across the land rebelled against her. While Mary's army believed her and felt the accusation was baseless, the people could not stand for their queen being someone accused of killing her husband.<br />
<br />
Aside from Tarkus and Bruford's armies who won their battles, Mary's other soldiers were completely destroyed. Elizabeth captured Mary and took her prisoner, where she ordered an {{UN|Executioner|executioner}} to behead her. Elizabeth lied to the public promising not to kill Mary, so she used an impersonator who stayed confined to solitude in a tower. With her impersonator, Elizabeth managed to trick Tarkus and Bruford into turning themselves in to free Mary. Tarkus and Bruford obliged, but before their executioner killed them, he pointed to Mary's head on the ground, revealing that he had killed her already.<ref name=C27 /><br />
<br />
After [[Jonathan Joestar]] defeats Bruford 323 years later, Bruford feels at peace that he could finally reunite with his queen.<ref name=C30>{{Ch|Chapter 30}}</ref><br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Although Mary Stuart is based on the real historical figure {{W|Mary, Queen of Scots}}, the real Mary died in 1587 when she was aged 44, rather than in 1565 when she was 23. The real Mary also had a {{W|James VI and I|son}} with Darnley in 1566.<ref>{{W|Mary, Queen of Scots}} - Wikipedia</ref><br />
*In the manga it is stated that Mary was part of the {{W|Tudor Dynasty}}, along with [[Elizabeth I]]. However, the real-life Mary was part of the Scottish {{W|Stuart Dynasty}}.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|That messed up spirit. That evil insanity. You've sold even the depths of your soul to Dio, haven't you?|Jonathan to Tarkus, {{Ch|Chapter 35}}}}Tarkus was a powerful knight during the time he was alive, and loyal to his queen. However, different from his partner [[Bruford]], he lacks a sense of honor. Tarkus gets enraged easily and uses his anger for violence. Due to the corruption of Dio, he thinks of Bruford as a disgrace to the Dark Knights, having no qualms about destroying the armor of his former friend. Tarkus is a brutal and ruthless fighter and enjoys forcing his opponents to battle him to the death in the [[Windknight's Lot#Room of Dragon Decapitation|Chain Neck Deathmatch]], even if it is against their own will.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
<br />
===Physical Ability===<br />
As a trained warrior and one of the only five knights to succeed in the [[77 Rings]] Challenge, Tarkus possesses an incredible amount of physical strength and endurance. Even while alive as a human, his neck could withstand several attacks and break the axes of executioners before being cut.<ref name="C27" /><br />
[[File:TarkusStrength.png|thumb|right|200px|Tarkus's display of strength]]<br />
After being resurrected as a zombie, his brutality and power increases even more, making him capable of squashing people with his bare hands.<ref name="C31">Chapter 31: ''[[Chapter 31|The Knights' Ruins]]''</ref> Tarkus initially demonstrates his strength by lifting a massive portion of the ground that [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] was standing on from beneath him, while only using a finger. He then shatters the giant boulder with the same finger.<ref name="C26">Chapter 26: ''[[Chapter 26|Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford (1)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Later, he throws himself onto a stone wall in order to trap Jonathan in the [[Windknights#Room of Dragon Decapitation|Lair of the Two-Headed Dragon]]. Whereas [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Zeppeli]] states that Tarkus should be unable to move because his bones would have shattered from the collision, Tarkus manages to climb the building and still be in a state to fight Jonathan and Zeppeli afterwards.<ref>Chapter 32: ''[[Chapter 32|The Medieval Knights' Training Ground for Murder]]''</ref> A kick from him is strong enough to shatter the bone of Jonathan's upper arm.<ref name="C33">Chapter 33: ''[[Chapter 33|Pluck for Tomorrow and the Successor (1)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
===Chain Techniques===<br />
Tarkus is an expert at the [[Windknight's Lot#Room of Dragon Decapitation|Chain Neck Deathmatch]], having killed forty-eight warriors in death matches.<ref name="C33" /> He uses his surroundings to his advantage, such as ensnaring his opponents with a chain to rip their bodies apart.<br />
<br />
*{{Nihongo|'''Hell Heaven Snake Kill'''| {{Ruby|天地来蛇殺|へルヘブンスネーキル}}|Heru Hebun Sunē Kiru|lit. "Heaven and Earth coming Snake kill"}}: Tarkus' signature technique. He jumps above his opponent while he manipulates his chain to strike them from below, cornering them from both sides. The chain wraps around his opponent and Tarkus pulls on it with enough force to tear a body in half.<br />
<br />
===Swordsmanship===<br />
When Tarkus was a knight of [[Mary Stuart]], he was described as a hero who could cut rocks like butter with his sword. Proving the stories of his past, Tarkus strikes the ground with his sword and slices off a large cliff, causing the [[Joestar Group#Phantom Blood|Joestar Group]] to fall.<ref name="C31" /><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:PastTarkusBruford.png|left|thumb|238x238px|A Manuscript depicting Bruford and Tarkus.]]<br />
Born in the 16th century, Tarkus was a member of the {{W|House of Tudor|Tudor Dynasty}} and a retainer of [[Mary Stuart]]. After losing his relatives in previous wars, the young Tarkus was brought up as Mary Stuart's knight and trained his body for that sole purpose. At the same time, Tarkus became attached to Mary. Alongside his fellow retainer Bruford, Tarkus passed the Challenge of the [[77 Rings]] in 1563, being the only two out of five in history to succeed it.<ref>Chapter 28: ''[[Chapter 28|Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford (3)]]'', p. 11</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ExecuteKnights.png|right|thumb|280px|Bruford and Tarkus about to be executed]]<br />
Eventually, when Mary was imprisoned by her political rival [[Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth]], Bruford and Tarkus fought the queen's army until she offered Mary's release in return for their surrender. But on the day they of their execution as enemies of the Crown, Bruford and Tarkus learned from their executioner that Mary was already killed before they gave into the queen's demands. Tarkus was livid to hear that Elizabeth deceived them into giving up their lives for nothing and cursed her in his dying breath, rumors saying that his neck became so rigid from anger that several axes broke before he was beheaded. The story of Bruford and Tarkus was passed down and became famous in England<ref name="C27">Chapter 27: ''[[Chapter 27|Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford (2)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
===Phantom Blood===<br />
[[File:TarkusDestroy.png|thumb|210px|left|Tarkus crushing Bruford's remains.]]<br />
After taking residence in [[Windknight's Lot]] following his transition into a vampire, Dio resurrects Bruford and Tarkus as his [[Zombie]] enforcers to exploit their hatred against the world. He first summons them to kill [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]], [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]. While Bruford fights with Jonathan, Tarkus fights Zeppeli and Speedwagon. But following Bruford's defeat, Tarkus desecrates his remains while saying that Bruford disappointed him before assaulting the heroes. Tarkus violently kicks the remains of Bruford's armor, turning its pieces into a dangerous hail of metal and Zeppeli is wounded. He almost catches [[Poco]] but Jonathan grabs him just in time. Tarkus slices the ground with his sword, cutting the cliff and isolating the heroes near the knights' former training grounds. He then catches two men who stumbled upon the fight and squeezes the blood out of them to drink it. He rushes to attack again, but Jonathan and his friends attempt to escape Tarkus on a hang-glider created from [[Ripple]]-induced leaves. Tarkus jumps and crashes the glider. Though assumed indisposed, Tarkus' durability convinces Zeppeli that the zombie is a loose end they cannot ignore.<br />
<br />
[[File:TarkusFight.png|thumb|210px|right|Jonathan fighting Tarkus]]<br />
Jonathan enters the building to find a place where [[Poco]] can hide safely, finding himself in the Chamber of the Two-Headed Dragon where Tarkus engages Jonathan in a Chain Neck Deathmatch. After Poco nearly gets himself killed to get the others in, Zeppeli proceeds to fight Tarkus before the zombie binds him with the chain which is used to rip the Ripple master's torso from his legs while snapping Jonathan's neck. Fortunately, Zeppeli transfers all his remaining Ripple into Jonathan's body. Empowered and healed by the sudden surge of Ripple, Jonathan shatters his collar then easily kills Tarkus with a Ripple-infused double punch to the face.<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Records|Diamond Records]] (Android/iOS)===<br />
Tarkus appears in Diamond Records as a playable character in both the '''Action Battle''' and '''Tactical Battle''' game modes. He has a few unlockable statues varying between the 'Fighting Spirit' and 'Solitary' types, ranging from 4 stars to 6 stars.<br />
<br />
Tarkus' moveset in both game modes is comprised of various attacks inspired by the anime using his sword, chains, and brute strength. As a zombie, Tarkus constantly regenerates health, but has a weakness to attacks from ripple users. Playing as him will force any outdoor stages to take place at night.<br />
<br />
* '''Basic Attack String:''' Tarkus' basic attack string is a combination of up to five various attacks comprising of different strikes with his sword and fists. In Tactical Battle, this is cut down to only three hits.<br />
<br />
* '''Blue Skill 1:''' Tarkus performs a powerful swing with his sword that lands into the ground.<br />
<br />
* '''Blue Skill 2 (Unlockable):''' Tarkus swings a chain around above his head briefly, then swings it down it at the opponent, covering a longer than average range. In Tactical Battle, this hits all opponents present on the stage.<br />
<br />
* '''SP Skill 1:''' Tarkus belly flops onto the ground, covering a medium sized area of effect. In Tactical Battle, this hits all opponents present on the stage.<br />
<br />
* '''SP Skill 2 (Unlockable):''' Tarkus lets out a barrage of punches, while simultaneously walking forward. In Action Battle, you have control over Tarkus' movement as he is performing this skill.<br />
<br />
* '''Cinematic SP Skill:''' Tarkus swings a chain at the opponent, then briefly disappears as the game cuts to the cutscene. In the cutscene, Tarkus is seen jumping into the air as he throws around the chains. When the cutscene ends it's revealed that the chains are wrapped around the opponent, and Tarkus performs his signature '''Hell Heaven Snake Kill''' and pulls the chain until it snaps and damages the enemy, similar to how he kills Zeppeli in the anime.<br />

{{Nihongo|'''Bruford'''|ブラフォード|Burafōdo}} is a minor antagonist featured in the first part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
<br />
Along with [[Tarkus]], Bruford was formerly a powerful knight from 16th Century Great Britain and a loyal retainer of [[Mary Stuart]]. Dying in disgrace, Bruford was resurrected as a [[zombie]] by [[Dio Brando]] and is summoned against [[Jonathan Joestar]]. He wields a knightly sword named [[Luck and Pluck|Luck]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Bruford is a male zombie having the appearance of a man of athletic stature and long, unkempt, dark hair, who has a scar on the bridge of his nose. He wears a metal armor consisting of a chest-plate with a collar-like ornate plate which ends on a decorated metal disk, shoulder pads and ankles pads with a pair of sandals, and a diadem decorated with several jewels.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
Alive, Bruford was an honorable knight of [[Mary Stuart]]. His feelings toward her surpassed even that of love. When [[Elizabeth I]] betrayed Mary Stuart, Bruford stood by her side, fighting off all of Elizabeth's forces. Upon learning of her capture, he was easily willing to die for her. However, when the executioner showed him Mary Stuart's head, even though he accepted execution to save his liege, he goes into a blind rage and begins resenting humanity.<br />
<br />
As a zombie, his hatred carried over, easily serving [[Dio Brando|Dio]] in his quest for destruction. However, along with his hatred, his pride as a knight also carried over, deciding to fight [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] one on one.<br />
<br />
After being defeated by Jonathan, the [[Ripple]] sent to him "frees his soul", allowing him to feel human again. He loses his hatred towards the world and is thankful for his chance to meet the honorable Jonathan.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
As a knight, Bruford is supposedly a good fighter. It is stated that against the armies that fought against Mary Stuart, only Bruford and Tarkus could win. Already, Bruford had athletic abilities beyond ordinary humans. An expert swimmer, Bruford was capable of swimming a 5&nbsp;km lake wearing armor with 30&nbsp;kg of weight. He also managed to complete the [[77 Rings]] challenge.<br />
<br />
As a Zombie, his strength is multiplied and he can be seen scraping out a Zombie's nose with just his finger or swimming as fast as the Ripple can spread in water, allowing him to escape an attack with minimal damage.<br />
<br />
===Luck===<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Luck'''|{{Ruby|幸運|ラック}}|Rakku}}: Bruford's Sword. As a knight, he was fairly proficient in using swords, having defeated several people during the [[77 Rings]] Challenge. When swung, the blade curves significantly to demonstrate its velocity. After being defeated as a zombie, he gave it to Jonathan and renamed it [[Luck and Pluck]].<br />
<br />
===Danse Macabre Hair===<br />
[[File:DanceMacabreHair.png|thumb|280px|Danse Macabre Hair]]<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Danse Macabre Hair'''|{{Ruby|死髪舞剣|ダンス・マカブヘアー}}|Dansu Makabu Heā|lit. "Death Hair Sword Dance"}}: Through unknown means, during his time alive Bruford had developed a technique that allowed him to use his hair in combat as a weapon. His hair acts much like a third arm, able to entwine things and be used as a distraction. His standard method of fighting consisted of using his hair first, and following with a thrust or kick from a blind angle. He was the only man not large in stature to surpass the 77 Rings Challenge due to this ability. After becoming a zombie, his hair amplified in power and was shown to able to lift around 105 kilograms with ease. This allows him to literally use it as a third arm and swing his sword with it. He is also able to expand it outwards at will to surround his enemies. The ability to do this comes from the phenomenon in plants called {{W|Turgor pressure}}, a technique used to retain their rigidity. After piercing an enemy's skin with his hair, Bruford can also use turgidity to force blood through the strands of his hair, an alternate method of bloodsucking.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:PastTarkusBruford.png|thumb|280px|A Manuscript depicting Bruford and Tarkus.]]<br />
Born in the 16th century, Bruford was a member of the {{W|House of Tudor|Tudor Dynasty}} and a retainer of [[Mary Stuart]]. After losing his relatives in previous wars, young Bruford was brought up as Mary Stuart's knight and trained his body for that sole purpose. At the same time, Bruford became attached to Mary whose charm made him feel at peace. Alongside his fellow retainer Tarkus, Bruford passed the Challenge of the [[77 Rings]] in 1563, being the only two out of five in history to succeed it.<ref>Chapter 28: ''[[Chapter 28|Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford (3)]]'', p. 11</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ExecuteKnights.png|left|thumb|280px|Bruford and Tarkus about to be executed]]<br />
Eventually, when Mary was imprisoned by her political rival [[Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth]], Bruford and Tarkus fought the queen's army until she offered Mary's release in return for their surrender. But on the day they are to executed as enemies of the crown, Bruford and Tarkus learned from their executioner that Mary was already killed before they gave into the queen's demands. Bruford died expressing his undying hatred for Elizabeth and her family, rumors saying that his hair entangled the executioner's feet and killed him moments before being beheaded. The story of Bruford and Tarkus was passed down and became known to some, two such people being [[Jonathan Joestar]] and [[Dio Brando]].<br />
<br />
===''Phantom Blood''===<br />
[[File:BrufordLuck.png|thumb|280px|Bruford as a Zombie.]]<br />
After taking residence in [[Windknight's Lot]] following his transition into a vampire, expressing a bit of sentimentality toward them, Dio resurrected Bruford and Tarkus as his zombie enforcers to deal with Jonathan, [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]], and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]. Bruford's hair sucks Jonathan's blood, preventing him from conducting the Ripple through his affected arm but Jonathan simply uses his other fist to burn the hair with a flaming Ripple. When a [[Zombie]] interferes, Bruford kills him and asks Dio if he could be the one to take care of Jonathan, which Dio accepts. Bruford thus attacks, leaping while hiding his hands to trick Jonathan, instead drawing and wielding his sword "Luck" with his hair instead. To avoid the swing, Jonathan must duck and jump underwater, followed by Bruford. Surprisingly, Jonathan swims downward to find air bubbles beneath the rocks, enabling him to draw breath and indirectly hit Bruford with a Ripple Overdrive. However, Bruford rapidly swims to the surface to avoid the brunt of the attack.<br />
<br />
Happy to face such an opponent, Bruford deploys his hair and ties up Jonathan, smashing him against a tree. Bruford draws his sword and attacks but Jonathan kicks the sword, conducting the Ripple into the Zombie's arm. Then, Jonathan violently pummels Bruford with the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive.<br />
<br />
[[File:JoJoPluck.png|left|thumb|280px|Bruford giving Jonathan his sword.]]<br />
Once Jonathan made a direct hit on him after literally disarming him, Bruford regained his former humanity from the Ripple slowly destroying his body. Accepting his defeat with grace, noting he lost his hatred, Bruford only expressed only content to be reunited with Mary in the afterlife. After learning of Jonathan's name, Bruford gives the youth his sword, which he renamed [[Luck and Pluck]], before he completely turned to ash. His armor and remains were kicked aside by a wrathful Tarkus as Jonathan was utterly conflicted over being forced to kill such a noble warrior regardless of being warped by Dio's evil.<br />

{{Row|w1=1%|Align=Left|Image=True|{{Crop|Image=BrufordPS2.png|bSize=300|width=150|oLeft=20}}|Bruford appears as a boss character in two different chapters. In the first, the player plays as Jonathan Joestar and faces Bruford in an underwater match (much like their first battle). During the match, Jonathan can only swim forward or backward as he needs to be near the air bubbles on the stage to fill his Ripple gauge, in order to attack Bruford with his ''Turquoise Blue Overdrive''. Bruford will always be swimming around the stage and only gets closer to Jonathan to attack him.<br />
<br />
In the other boss chapter, the player faces Bruford on land. During the match, Bruford will use punches and kicks as his normal attacks and uses his hair holding a sword as his special move. This is the first battle that allows Jonathan to use his ''Sunlight Yellow Overdrive'' as his special Ripple move.<br />
<br />
Bruford appears as a playable character in one chapter of EXTRA BATTLE, particularly his "on land" version.<br />

{{Quote|Turn yourselves in, you two! Then and only then, I shall spare Mary's life.|Elizabeth I|{{Ch|Chapter 27}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Elizabeth I'''|エリザベスⅠ世|Erizabesu Issei}} is a minor character featured in the first part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
<br />
She was the queen of {{W|England}} and a monarch from the {{W|House of Tudor|Tudor dynasty}}. In 1565, she battles her {{W|Cousin|first cousin once removed}}, [[Mary Stuart]], over the throne. Her betrayal of [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]], two retainers of Mary, leads to the two knights cursing humanity which [[Dio Brando]] uses to his advantage over three hundred years later when he revives them as [[zombie]]s.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Elizabeth I has short curly dark hair that is shaved at the top of her forehead and also has no eyebrows. Her attire consists of a long gown with puffy sleeves adorned with various jewelry, along with a large {{W|Ruff (clothing)|ruff}} around her neck.<br />
<br />
She wears several rings on her fingers. Her {{W|Tudor Crown|crown}} is also decorated with various rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, and pearls.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Elizabeth was a scheming woman and an opportunist who used the situation of {{MN|Darnley}}'s death to her advantage. She didn't hesitate about lying and murdering her relative, [[Mary Stuart|Mary]], to ascertain her claim over the throne. As she could not defeat Tarkus and Bruford's armies, she uses deceitful tactics to execute them, such as ordering a woman to act as an impersonator of Mary who remained locked up in a tower, and then giving the two knights an ultimatum that they could turn themselves in for the fake Mary to be freed.<ref name=C27>{{Ch|Chapter 27}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Mary's Army Defeated Anime.jpg|thumb|right|Elizabeth's army destroys Mary's]]<br />
In 1565, 315 years before ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', Elizabeth and her first cousin once removed, [[Mary Stuart]], start battling over the throne. One day, luck struck when there was a sudden explosion at Mary's home. Mary's husband, {{MN|Darnley}}, died but the true cause of his death was unknown to history. Elizabeth took the opportunity to accuse Mary for his death, turning the population against Mary. Nobles from across the land rebelled against her.<br />
<br />
Aside from Tarkus and Bruford's armies who won their battles, Elizabeth's army completely destroyed Mary's soldiers. Elizabeth captured Mary and took her prisoner, where she ordered an {{UN|Executioner|executioner}} to behead her. Elizabeth lied to the public promising not to kill Mary, so she used an impersonator who stayed confined to solitude in a tower. With her impersonator, Elizabeth managed to trick Tarkus and Bruford into turning themselves in to free Mary. Tarkus and Bruford obliged, but before their executioner killed them, he pointed to Mary's head on the ground, revealing that he had killed her already.<br />
<br />
Angered from Elizabeth's betrayal, Tarkus and Bruford cursed Elizabeth as well as all her future descendants before their deaths.<ref name=C27 /><br />

{{Quote|No matter how strong a man is, he needs respite — not in love, in something greater! Something to devote himself to! Mary provided that for them. That is why she was fit to be queen...|{{UN|Narrator}}|[[Chapter 27]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Mary Stuart'''|メアリー・スチュアート|Mearī Suchuāto}} is a minor character featured in the first part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
<br />
She is the queen of {{W|Scotland}} until 1565 when she and her {{W|Cousin|first cousin once removed}}, [[Elizabeth I]], start fighting over the throne. [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]] are her faithful retainers and her eventual death from Elizabeth's orders leads to the two knights cursing humanity and demanding vengeance.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Mary Stuart is a beautiful young woman with a warm smile.<ref name=C27 /> She has short neck-length braided hair and wears a tiara with a gemstone in the center, hanging over her forehead. Her attire consists of a long gown with puffy sleeves along with a {{W|Ruff (clothing)|ruff}} around her neck.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Mary is kind and caring, providing respite to the young knights [[Bruford]] and [[Tarkus]] who had lost their families and had nowhere to go. Her peaceful nature made her fit to be queen as she could easily calm the hearts of the two lonely knights. Regardless of their strength, Mary was capable of giving them hope. Despite Elizabeth accusing her of {{W|mariticide}}, Mary's army pledges loyalty to her and fights for her until their deaths.<ref name=C27 /><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:Mary's Army Defeated Anime.jpg|thumb|right|Mary's army defeated]]<br />
At some point, Mary Stuart became the queen of Scotland and later married {{MN|Darnley}}. With great tolerance, she provided respite to the lonely dark knights, [[Tarkus]] and [[Bruford]]. Both were of the {{W|House of Tudor|Tudor Dynasty}} but pledged loyalty to Mary, promising to sacrifice their lives for her if necessary. <br />
<br />
In 1565, 315 years before ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', Mary and her first cousin once removed, [[Elizabeth I]], start battling over the throne. One day, tragedy struck in the form of a sudden explosion. Darnley died but the true cause of his death was unknown to history. Elizabeth took the opportunity to accuse Mary for his death, turning the population against Mary. Nobles from across the land rebelled against her. While Mary's army believed her and felt the accusation was baseless, the people could not stand for their queen being someone accused of killing her husband.<br />
<br />
Aside from Tarkus and Bruford's armies who won their battles, Mary's other soldiers were completely destroyed. Elizabeth captured Mary and took her prisoner, where she ordered an {{UN|Executioner|executioner}} to behead her. Elizabeth lied to the public promising not to kill Mary, so she used an impersonator who stayed confined to solitude in a tower. With her impersonator, Elizabeth managed to trick Tarkus and Bruford into turning themselves in to free Mary. Tarkus and Bruford obliged, but before their executioner killed them, he pointed to Mary's head on the ground, revealing that he had killed her already.<ref name=C27 /><br />
<br />
After [[Jonathan Joestar]] defeats Bruford 323 years later, Bruford feels at peace that he could finally reunite with his queen.<ref name=C30>{{Ch|Chapter 30}}</ref><br />

{{Quote|I have the same motive as [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] does. I want to get my hands on the [[Locacaca]] too!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Yasuho Hirose'''|広瀬 康穂|Hirose Yasuho}} is the deuteragonist of the 8th part of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Yasuho is an ordinary university student who accidentally discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] at the [[Wall Eyes]] on the coast of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]. As Josuke seeks his identity, she becomes his primary ally and love interest, deciding to work with him to discover his identity.<br />
<br />
Yasuho eventually becomes a [[Stand]] User, manipulating her [[Paisley Park]] to investigate the city's mysteries.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Yasuho first outfit.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
Yasuho is a pretty, young woman of slim build, 166 cm (5'5") tall. She has light, shoulder-length hair, tied into several pigtails with spherical hair clips. Josuke observes that she has a 65 cm waistline, an 88 cm hipline, and wears a C-cup.<ref name="jjlc22" /><br />
<br />
Her first outfit featured a wide-necked, cap-sleeved blouse. Her second features a sleeveless top with roses on both shoulder straps. Both blouses are light-colored.<br />
<br />
She wears a short skirt half covered with roses, short leg warmers, and footwear that has alternated between walking boots and athletic shoes with socks.<br />
<br />
Yasuho is shown to need contact lenses and is visually impaired.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}}}<br />
Yasuho is a mild-mannered yet inquisitive young woman living in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]].<br />
<br />
She is somewhat innocent, in one instance naively following [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s requests to look elsewhere while he beat [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] during interrogation.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, p9</ref> She is more easily upset than Josuke. Despite this she does show a level of intelligence, using Josuke's cap as a lead to discovering his past, which led to their discovery of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}, p15</ref> She is also somewhat understanding of others, as she was also able to discern, after discovering photos of bound women in Kira's home, that Josuke was not the type of person to do such a thing. She named Josuke after her dog since he resembled him.<br />
<br />
She disagrees with [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]]'s carefree lifestyle, suffering some unhappiness with her domestic life as a result.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}}</ref> On the other hand, Yasuho used to idealize her father and after the divorce of her parents, always cherished the moments she would spend time with him, to the point an illusion of her father wanting to cut off ties with her broke her heart and pushed her to try to commit suicide.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}</ref><br />
[[File:Josuke and Yasuho.jpg|thumb|Yasuho and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
She harbors a growing fondness for Josuke, with whom she shares a close and warm alliance. As ''JoJolion'' progresses, this fondness develops into a sincere attachment. Being eager to reunite with him, she expresses tears when they finally do, a sentiment which Josuke shares.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}, p14</ref> It can be inferred that their feelings have developed into a genuine romance, as the two are shown holding hands as they walk when they finally meet back up. On the other hand, it is possible that Yasuho still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]], with whom she is still intimate.<br />
<br />
In addition to her growing feelings for Josuke, she seems to get along quite well with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]]. While Tsurugi initially kidnapped her on orders of [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], Tsurugi developed an attachment to her (along with a possible crush) and revealed the family secret including his real gender to her. She, in turn, grew fond of him as the two work together to find out Josuke's identity and more about the [[Locacaca]] fruit. They have even fought enemies together, such as [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]], and the two could be seen hanging out together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}}, p6-7</ref><br />
<br />
Over the course of the story, Yasuho grows into a fiercer woman due to the repeated fights she has to participate in. While at the beginning of the story she was completely helpless against foes as she didn't master her Stand, she progressively shows more resourcefulness in the face of the enemy and has shown a readiness to hurt them.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
*'''[[Suzuyo Hirose]]:''' She is Yasuho's mother. Despite being so, Yasuho dislikes and is sensitive about her mother's way of living.<br />
*'''[[Unnamed Characters#Yasuho's Dad|Father]]:''' Suzuyo's ex-husband. He appears as a vision to Yasuho one day, in her youth, and tells her that he is having an affair with another woman and is more happy with her than with Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===Love Interest===<br />
*'''[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]:''' She is hinted to have feelings for Josuke,<ref name="jjlc22" /> as shown when she is tearful when she meets up with Josuke again and the two can be seen holding hands together.<br />
<br />
===Ex-Boyfriend===<br />
*'''[[Tooru]]:''' She and Tooru dated at some point around high school, but broke up with him for unknown reasons. It is hinted that Yasuho still has feelings for Tooru.<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
*'''[[Rai Mamezuku]]:''' She helps Rai investigating mysteries in Morioh, such as the [[Locacaca]].<br />
*'''[[Tsurugi Higashikata]]:''' She and Tsurugi worked together to defeat [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]]. It is hinted that Tsurugi has developed a crush on her.<br />
*'''[[Mitsuba Higashikata]]:''' They become temporary allies during their struggle with [[Wu Tomoki]].<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
*'''[[Joshu Higashikata]]:''' Although the two were friends at some point, Yasuho would try to hide herself from Joshu.<br />
*'''[[Ojiro Sasame]]:''' Ojiro tried to subdue both she and Josuke.<br />

Yasuho is aided by Paisley Park, a [[Stand]] of great scope able to guide individuals significant to Yasuho towards safer or more mutually beneficial goals or destinations, and facilitate Yasuho's own searches.<br />

[[File:YasuhoElbowLicking.png|thumb|right|Yasuho licks her elbow]]<br />
On a humorous note, Yasuho is shown to be able to lick her own elbow. Although it's not much significant, she states that it makes herself feel accomplished.<ref name="jjlc22" /><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Yasuho was born in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] around 1992. She spent her childhood in the town, at one point befriending [[Joshu Higashikata]]. Around this time, she had a dog named {{MN|Josuke (Dog)|Josuke}}. Her parents divorced when she was 10 years old and from that point on, she started living with her mother and spending weekends with her father.<br />
<br />
During her first year in middle school, Yasuho buys a [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] from a street vendor. She thought it was beautiful, but realized that she forgot about [[Minor Characters#Miko|her friend]]'s birthday party; she was harassed by a multitude of insulting texts from the party-goers not long after.<br />
<br />
Little did Yasuho know about her new hair clip was that it was actually a [[Rock Organism|Rock Animal]] in disguise. Over the course of the week, it secretly causes her to produce a dramatic amount of dandruff, even from her eyebrows. When Yasuho loses the hair clip one day, she is angry at her mother because she thought her mother didn't want her to show her hair clip to [[Unnamed Characters#Yasuho's Dad|her father]]. She is rendered unconscious by the hair clip Rock Animal shortly after.<br />
[[File:yasuho meets holy.jpg|thumb|right|Yasuho meets Holy.]]<br />
She is woken up by a vision of her father (which was cast upon her by the hair clip Rock Animal). Although Yasuho was at first happy to see him, he proceeds to tell Yasuho that he's having an affair with another woman and is more happy with her than with Yasuho. Feeling sick, Yasuho excuses herself to the bathroom. Shortly after, her mother finds her laying on the bathroom sink with her wrist slit.<br />
<br />
On recovery, Yasuho coincidentally meets with [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] in the hospital. Yoshikage shows her the pieces of her new hair clip, saying that he accidentally stepped on it and broke it (unbeknownst to Yasuho and Kira that the latter actually saved her from the hair clip Rock Animal's clutches).<ref name="ReferenceA" /> Whatsoever, Yasuho keeps the pieces in her drawer.<br />
<br />
At some point during high school, she dated [[Tooru]]. She and Joshu also kissed once<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, p1. JoJo's Colored Adventure translation.</ref>.<br />
<br />
Yasuho is a student at the school of humanities and social sciences in Morioh<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}</ref>.{{-}}<br />

===JoJolion===<br />
====Meeting Josuke Higashikata====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets josuke.png|thumb|Yasuho discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
Yasuho is introduced huddled on the ground near the [[Wall Eyes]], hiding from [[Joshu Higashikata]], a childhood friend. She sees a a [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man]] half buried in the ground. Wary, she calls an ambulance between simple questions. He sinks into a spring, prompting her to pull him out of the water. At this point, she discovers that he's completely naked and his four testicles. She is interrupted by Joshu, who misinterprets the scene; becoming jealous and launching a lethal attack on the man. The man subdues Joshu with a mysterious power, and they are all collected by an ambulance.<br />
<br />
[[File:JosukeHugsYasuho.png|thumb|left|Yasuho is the first person Josuke ever met and knew about]]<br />
Yasuho visits and brings flowers to both Joshu and the man. She gives them both Morioh-speciality {{W|dango|Dango}} balls while staying in the man's room to converse. She is entertained by his innocence and moved to sympathy by his attention and predicament. She decides to follow him in his escape from the hospital and offers to help him discover his identity. Identifying the brand on the label in his hat, Yasuho takes the man to the "SBR" hat shop; finding its sale on the shopkeeper's record under [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]], with an address. Yasuho thinks the name an ill fit and tells him that he comes off as more of a "Josuke", as he reminds her of her childhood dog of the same name.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho josuke higashikata family.png|thumb|right|Yasuho introduces Josuke to the Higashikatas]]<br />
Both travel to the apartment, and after a provisional scan, they discover a naked woman bathing in the bathtub. Suspicious, she asks the girl if she is Josuke's girlfriend. The girl doesn't answer, but begs Yasuho and Josuke for help, to their suspicion. Yasuho searches for other clues, finding a [[Minor Items#The Fake Photo Album|photo album]] containing sordid images of the woman with a man resembling Josuke. Shocked and despaired, Yasuho storms out of the apartment. Outside, she meets two school friends and passes on their offer to meet later. She cries, feeling betrayed. Eventually, she returns to the apartment, reflecting that what she had learned previously of Josuke's nature is not consistent with the tastes reflected in the album. However, she is attacked upon entering the apartment, as Josuke is now being controlled by a Stand User based in the flat above. Although Yasuho had her right hand branded, Josuke is ultimately able to steal the friction from the floor above to make him fall and slip towards the veranda from which he pulls [[Ojiro Sasame]] to him. Josuke interrogates Ojiro and discovers that Yoshikage Kira was a different man from him. Yasuho, alongside the protagonist, returns to the spring where Josuke was and discovers the real Kira's corpse. Without any leads, she decides to lodge the protagonist with the [[Higashikata Family|Higashikata family]] until they can find his real identity (they independently give him the name "Josuke").<br />
<br />
After a quick introduction to the family, Yasuho is eventually escorted out of the Higashikata household by the [[Kyo Nijimura|maid]] and is threatened to never return, meet with Josuke, or "tempt" Joshu.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the Bloodline====<br />
{{Main|"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)}}<br />
Yasuho returns to her house, finding [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]] inebriated beside the couch with the mark of a kiss on her breast. Crying, she denounces her mother's lifestyle. Before leaving, she opens a letter of reply from an agency that she sent a sample of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Kira]] and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s DNA, learning that "to within 95.8% accuracy", the two represent "the same person". Yasuho receives a call while she's in the street. However, the caller hang up before she can answer and she cannot identify them. Intrigued, Yasuho returns to the Higashikata House and incidentally meets [[Daiya Higashikata]] going out with Josuke behind her. However, Josuke doesn't recognize her because of Daiya's [[California King Bed|ability]] and Yasuho instinctively hides as she realizes something is wrong. However, the problem is solved by Josuke. The two eventually discover that Yoshikage's mother [[Holy Joestar-Kira|Holy Kira]] was a world-renowned ophthalmologist and is currently being kept in Morioh's hospital as a patient.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho bed paisley park.png|thumb|Yasuho unconsciously awakens Paisley Park]]<br />
She makes a call to Josuke and agrees to meet with him at the hospital. Unbeknownst to her, [[Paisley Park]] begins to develop and remotely guides Josuke. Meanwhile, Yasuho manages to get into the hospital and briefly speak with Holy, but is taken away by hospital security for talking to Holy without permission. Out of the hospital, Yasuho feels a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking ill, a nearby medical assistant helps Yasuho onto a stretcher without asking and takes her into the hospital. The assistant eventually leaves her, and Yasuho notices that she is near where Holy is staying. She manages to listen in on a conversation between Holy and her doctors, and finds out that they've detected that parts of Holy's brain and vital organs are somehow missing, despite her denying having had any surgery.<br />
<br />
The next day, Josuke calls Yasuho at school, but she doesn't answer as he was using Joshu's cell phone. She does, however, notice that he was, at the time, located on [[Shakedown Road]] and near a landmark statue called the ''Joestar Jizō''. She discovers, with Paisley Park's help, that the jizō was built as a memorial to [[Johnny Joestar]], who died in Morioh from what was ultimately determined to be a freak accident in 1901.<br />
<br />
====[[Paper Moon Deception]]====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets tsurugi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho formally meets Tsurugi Higashikata]]<br />
Later that day, Yasuho travels to the Meditation Pine Tree near the [[Wall Eyes]] and realizes she can see both the Higashikata mansion and the spring where she previously found Josuke. She finds another article in the newspaper of a small infant that was discovered beneath the pine tree around the same time as Johnny's death. Upon further inspection, Yasuho spots a hole at the base of the pine tree and goes in for a closer look, but is suddenly grabbed by a hand reaching out of it causing her to lose her shoe. She is pulled under where an obscure figure gropes her. A moment later, Yasuho finds herself in the Higashikata Family's cellar directly below the Meditation Pine. The room is filled with several memorabilia dating to the Showa Era (~1937) and there she encounters [[Tsurugi Higashikata]], the grandson of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]. Tsurugi attempts to play a game with her using a mildly profane {{W|Paper fortune teller}}. Yasuho eventually realizes her phone is missing and grabs Tsurugi demanding to know where it is when she discovers that Tsurugi is actually male. He explains that the eldest son of each generation in the Higashikata family is raised as a girl until his 12th birthday to ward off "a curse". To aid Yasuho, [[Paisley Park]] summons itself and travels to Josuke's location, where it inspires Josuke to send her a text message. Yasuho's phone goes off and she traces the source of the noise from underneath the carpet. Tsurugi tries to stop her by grabbing her hand, but after breaking free, Yasuho finds the phone folded like an origami frog and it attacks her.<ref name="jjlc2" /><br />
<br />
Leaving the room, phone in hand, she spots another room. Looking in the window, it is small and austere, containing a set of clothes similar to that worn by Kira, and a collection of objects including an Enter the Dragon poster and Ultraman figurine, among others. Yasuho heads back into town, trailed by Tsurugi. She speaks with a woman with a particular, angular face, who asks for directions. Another woman passes with the same face, as well as a window cleaner, the mannequins in the window, and everyone around her, except for Tsurugi. Before she can consider this, she rubs her eyes, accidentally removing her contact lenses. Heading home and replacing them, she finds that even her mother has this same face, and finally her own reflection. She is taunted by the woman who she assumed was her mother. Upset, she rushes out of her home to the street, crying. <br />
[[File:yasuho paper moon deception.png|thumb|Yasuho cannot distinguish faces or writings because of Tsurugi's Paper Moon King]]<br />
Yasuho looks up and sees Tsurugi, unchanged. She successfully calls Josuke, who agrees to meet within 10 minutes at Gomamitsu café, in reference to his message. Yasuho confronts Tsurugi once more, but he repeats that he will always be available to help her in that room in the basement. Mistaking a shop for Gomamitsu Cafe, Yasuho realizes that she has begun to interpret all words as parts of this phrase. Joshu finds Josuke, taking his phone back, angered that he had called Yasuho. Yasuho mistakes Joshu for Josuke, narrowly passing him by. Thrilled by Yasuho's trust, and misunderstanding her words, Joshu leads Yasuho to a public bathroom, where he reveals his genitals, and begins rapidly undressing her with [[Nut King Call|his Stand]]. Pausing when Yasuho calls Josuke's name, she strikes his head with a cistern lid and escapes. She approaches a car, mistaking its passengers' clothes for police uniforms, before she is kidnapped and nearly force-fed a pill. When Yasuho shouts to stop the car, her Stand disrupts the ankle of the driver, crashing the car into a post. Stumbling away, Yasuho's mother approaches and calls to her, whom Yasuho again fails to recognize. When Tsurugi reveals himself again, Yasuho yields and follows him back to his underground playroom.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 26|Tsurugi's Goal and the Architect]]====<br />
Yasuho goes to Tsurugi's playroom. He apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand, [[Paper Moon King]]. Yasuho asks Tsurugi what is the purpose of the underground complex and Tsurugi explains that it is a space dedicated to treating a mysterious [[Rock Disease|illness]] that turns the skin hard like stone befalling all Higashikata firstborns. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition, whose brain is becoming hard and smooth, memories fragmenting, and that Kira tried to save her.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho fruit in hand.png|thumb|Unconscious during the fight, Yasuho awakes with a mysterious fruit in her hand]]<br />
Falling asleep, a figure emerges from behind a jacket hanging on the wall. Uttering obscurities, mentioning Soft & Wet and an opinion that Josuke need not exist, the man pulls a sheet of clear material from his eyes, pinning it around Yasuho's wrists and face. Taking a pitcher of water, he begins to waterboard Yasuho, waking her to a gasping panic. Yasuho subconsciously sends her Stand before the man pins its leg with his foot, catching its head as it rises from the ground. The man is able to accurately deduce aspects of the Stand's limitation before it escapes his grasp through the hatch in the ceiling. Telling Yasuho that he has been watching "all of them" up to now, the man introduces himself as [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], an architect who most of all desires social status, for which purpose he intends to ensure that Josuke's memories do not return when Josuke "dies again". However, Yotsuyu slips on a banana origami and disappears.<br />
<br />
Yasuho falls asleep later and is kidnapped by Yotsuyu during [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s battle against the architect. Josuke does manage to save her and defeat Yotsuyu. Somehow, Yasuho discovers a [[Locacaca|piece of fruit near her]]. She leaves the fruit and is later told to go away by [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]].<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi event recorder.png|thumb|left|Yasuho & Tsurugi investigate the event recorder and find Jobin's link to the fruit]]<br />
Yasuho begins to master her Stand [[Paisley Park]] when [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] knocks at her door and asks her to help. After Josuke gives them the key of [[Jobin Higashikata]]'s Lamborghini, Yasuho investigates the GPS of the car. Thanks to Paisley Park, Yasuho sees anoter set of car keys and effortlessly hacks into the car. Thus, she manages to discover that Jobin exchanged the [[Locacaca|fruit]] Tsurugi is after with another man: [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]]. When Jobin and Joshu barge in garage where the Lamborghini is, Yasuho manages to hide herself and Tsurugi from them using Paisley Park's ability to foresee obstacles.<br />
<br />
Yasuho proceeds to investigate Aisho. Observing the place where [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] met the man from a rooftop, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] uncover a link between Aisho, who is a security guard at the stadium, and [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]], who oversaw the renovation of the stadium. They see Aisho at the same place heading to a nearby park and decide to tail him with Yasuho's phone folded into a frog. They witness a man who, after eating the fruit, regrows his missing legs while his eyes shatter into stone. As the phone is sent investigating the remains of the fruit, it is spotted by Aisho who crushes it under his feet. Affected by the damage, Yasuho and Tsurugi are nearly killed, but Aisho stops his attack when he kicks the phone away and attempts to phone Yotsuyu. Startled by the lack of answer, Aisho attempts to crush the phone again, but is distracted by a banana peel [[Paisley Park]] placed under his feet, allowing Tsurugi to use his [[Paper Moon King]]. Aisho is unable to recognize the phone and it subsequently escapes. <br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi chased by doobie wah.png|thumb|Yasuho & Tsurugi chased by Doobie Wah!]]<br />
Having checked Aisho's access card, Yasuho determines that the fruit comes from inside the stadium. As they both go down the stairs, they are assailed by Aisho's [[Stand]] [[Doobie Wah!]] hiding in a deadly wind vortex. Escaping the building by a window, they realize that Doobie Wah! is materializing via their breath, forcing them not to breathe as they try to flee. The two try to take a bus away from the enemy Stand but it still materialized out of their breath and attacks them. Yasuho and Tsurugi leave the bus near the Motoyagura train station, and Tsurugi releases a car origami. Soon after both meet a cornered Yasuho and Tsurugi. Recognizing Jobin's son, Aisho demands that Jobin allows him to kill him, but Jobin remains silent. The car origami Tsurugi released comes back to his hand, and Tsurugi explains that he made Aisho confuse any bus with his father. When the bus starts up, it runs over the confused Aisho who is killed and breaks down into dust.<br />
<br />
[[File:josuke & yasuho.png|thumb|left|Josuke & Yasuho properly meet again]]<br />
The next day, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] analyze the video feed of [[Aisho Dainenjiyama|Aisho's]] death, realizing the strange nature of the people they are going after and determined to investigate the stadium. They meet [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and since Yasuho and Josuke are too happy to see each other to continue the investigation, it is paused for the time being. Josuke and Yasuho stroll on the beach, sharing a tender moment, however Josuke is signaled by another girl, calling for a meeting later. Josuke thus leaves Yasuho.<br />
<br />
Later, [[Yasuho]] and [[Tsurugi]] have 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. However, Josuke's conversation is interrupted when he sees [[Hato]] coming back. Yasuho eventually finds a picture and faxes it to Josuke, although the man doesn't even remotely resemble Josuke.<br />
<br />
====[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]====<br />
Josuke calls Yasuho for help with tracking down the [[Dolomite|user]] of [[Blue Hawaii]]. He had left a soap bubble with Dolomite's tooth in it, so Yasuho could use Paisley Park to search medical records and find out whose tooth it is. After finding the tooth, Paisley Park finds a classified document recording an incident where Dorokoma Masaji had eaten 15 of a school's rabbits and another where he had eaten 25 chickens on a farm. She notices some dirt on the tooth, and prepares to use Paisley Park to track down the source of the dirt, but is ambushed by [[Jobin Higashikata]] who causes her to pass out from heatstroke using [[Speed King|his stand]]. Jobin then stomps on her phone, breaking it, and tosses the tooth down a grate.<br />
[[File:yasuho vs dolomite.png|thumb|Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite]]<br />
Yasuho later wakes up but has no way of finding the enemy alone. Josuke, who has been beaten and controlled by Blue Hawaii, now mindlessly walks up to Mutsukabe Shrine. Yasuho spots him and trails Josuke up to Dolomite, whom she attacks with a metal bar and defeats easily since the Rock Human has no limbs. Yasuho goes as far as threatening to push Dolomite into a mud pit, forcing the Rock Human to surrender. Dolomite reveals to Yasuho and Josuke that Jobin was the one who asked him to attack Josuke, also stating that the two have gotten involved in something incredibly dangerous.<br />
<br />
====Seeking the Plant Appraiser====<br />
{{Main|The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31) (story arc)}}{{Main|Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Yasuho then takes the bus alongside Josuke to meet the plant appraiser, whom she meets earlier than thought when the plant appraiser hijacks the bus they are in, claiming they are under attack and that his safety is the priority. The plant appraiser, named [[Rai Mamezuku]], is suspicious of Yasuho, but she pays him no mind, using [[Paisley Park]] to hack the passengers' smartphones and prevent them from informing anyone of what is happening to the bus.<br />
<br />
They arrive at a parking lot, and Yasuho is then invited alongside Josuke to Rai's home. The latter cooks a creme Romanoff for Yasuho, and she is pleasantly surprised at the snack. However, her meal is interrupted when a tree sneaks on her, and Josuke has to save her from falling. Nonetheless, Rai tosses her to the ground, exposing her to the enemy's power.<br />
[[File:yasuho and urban & doremi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho facing Urban Guerrilla & Doremifasolati Do]]<br />
Trying to run to safety, Yasuho is the first to see the face of the enemy. A Rock Human named [[Urban Guerrilla]], encased in his pet [[Doremifasolati Do]], attacks Yasuho again, but Rai stabs Urban and she manages to wash away the swarm of enemy Stand threatening to bore holes into her faces. When the enemy team plunges underground, Josuke jumps down to assist her. Using Paisley Park, Yasuho detects a bedrock area which can serve as a shelter. However, when Doremifasolati Do resurfaces, Josuke learns that his attacks are ineffective and thus Yasuho must flee to the bedrock area with him and is stuck at the top of a boulder.<br />
<br />
As her powers aren't useful in direct combat, Yasuho is forced to watch Josuke and Rai battle the enemy and eventually defeat them. After the battle, Rai isolates Yasuho and tells her to go home to safety. However, she begins to narrate her own backstory and reaffirms her will to help Josuke. Only interested in the strange [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] which tormented her, Rai sends her home to analyze the clip.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the TG University Hospital====<br />
{{Main|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)}}{{Main|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
[[File:Wu-tomoki-attacks.png|thumb|left|Wu Tomoki attacking Yasuho & Mitsuba]]<br />
Yasuho watches news footage of the fire at the Higashikata household as she sits in the waiting room of the hospital for menstrual pain and depression. Although she has been reassured by Rai and Josuke, she is nonetheless worried about the stolen Locacaca branch. She then catches a glimpse of [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and [[Wu Tomoki|her doctor]] notices that Mitsuba's legs have been turned to stone by the Locacaca. Investigating further, she finds herself under attack by said doctor, Dr. Wu Tomoki, who controls Mitsuba's body. Wu tries to transfer himself from Mitsuba but Yasuho, but in the time it takes him to completely invade her, Yasuho manages to extract the few fragments inside of her acting as a beacon for others and takes the released Mitsuba with her. After Yasuho explains what she knows about the Locacaca and the hospital, Mitsuba reveals that she's just learned that she's pregnant and that she's worried for the child. Thus the two then try to reach the examination room where Mitsuba last recalls her examination. Pursued by Wu Tomoki, Yasuho and Mitsuba manage to get rid of him several times thanks to [[Awaking III Leaves]], Mitsuba's Stand. On their way, Yasuho also meets with her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]] and tells him to tell Josuke where she is headed.<br />
<br />
In the examination room, Yasuho discovers a secret tape of Wu Tomoki explaining to the audience the mechanisms of the Locacaca and opens the door to a secret laboratory containing a garden of Locacaca. However, Yasuho notices that the stolen Locacaca branch from the Higashikata garden isn't there. Wu Tomoki suddenly reappears, having taken control once again of Mitsuba by hiding in the Locacaca she eats to save her child. Yasuho must fight Wu Tomoki again, and then during the fight, vials containing deadly diseases are broken. Yasuho returns some of Mitsuba's arrows against Wu Tomoki and purges him out of Mitsuba again. When the doctor tries to scatter the Locacaca fruit and threatens to force-feed them the fruits, Josuke finally comes in and saves Yasuho. Yasuho then explains to the group her findings and she deduces that since Mitsuba was targeted by Wu Tomoki, the branch must have been taken by a third group, [[Jobin Higashikata]] being a prime suspect.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho pursues the head doctor.jpg|thumb|Somehow, Yasuho is unable to get a picture of the head doctor]]<br />
To her frustration, Josuke and Rai nonetheless decide to chase after the last member of the Locacaca Organization: [[Satoru Akefu]], the head doctor of TG University Hospital, who mysteriously has no available picture of himself anywhere. Although Yasuho tries to hack the cameras through Paisley Park, she cannot snap a picture of the head doctor. Even more strangely, unnoticed obstacles keep preventing the group from catching up to the old man. During the chase, Yasuho meets with Tooru again and he flirts with her, causing a mix of suspicion and jealousy from Josuke's part. As Dr. Akefu keeps evading them and leaves the hospital, Yasuho receives a message from Tooru asking her to be with him again. The chase culminates in a car almost crashing into her, although she is saved by [[Soft & Wet]]. However, the doctor has boarded a bus and the trio must stop their chase for the time being. When Josuke gets into a fight with a patient whose broken neck snaps in front of him, Yasuho finds herself alone again as Josuke must deal with the authorities with Rai. This allows Tooru to come back and get closer to her as he reassures he will testify for Josuke.<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru tries to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho]]<br />
Yasuho is next shown sitting on her porch with Tooru as she waits for [[Paisley Park]] to find [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] and the face of the head doctor. After listening to Tooru's proposal, she is distracted when Paisley Park finds a record of Rai purchasing some goods but loses his trace again. Remembering that she was pursuing Satoru Akefu, Tooru shows her a photo of Satoru's face. However, Yasuho is more shocked to discover that Mitsuba and Akefu are acquainted as she is in the photo too. At the same time, the rain has reached Yasuho's location. Focused on Mitsuba, Yasuho has yet to be affected by the rain. Piecing together the information at her disposal, Yasuho is convinced that Akefu is still looking for the new Locacaca and is targeting Mitsuba. Yasuho thus rushes to the Higashikata House with Tooru as her driver.<br />
<br />
She eventually arrives at the [[Higashikata House]] and has Paisley Park infiltrate the house in order to find Mitsuba. However, she finds a very ill [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] instead and tries to ask him where the new [[Locacaca]] branch is. Before Tsurugi can answer, Jobin grabs the phone Paisley Park has hidden in and throws it in the toilet. Yasuho finds herself in deep trouble as she begins to drown and her signal to Paisley Park is cut off. Isolated from any electronic device to escape in, Paisley Park is unable to do anything. Yasuho gets desperate and tries to get attention by filming herself with one of the cameras watching the estate. Mitsuba sees Yasuho and almost saves her, but Jobin's coercion and the appearance of Satoru Akefu before her changes her mind. Determined to protect her son at all costs, Mitsuba decides to let Yasuho die. Yasuho also sees the head doctor but falls down a slope and loses her right arm. Mitsuba decides to flush the phone further down the toilet but she is interrupted. Nevertheless, Yasuho is in a desperate situation.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<br />
<br />
When the [[Higashikata Family]] catches [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] trying to drown [[Paisley Park]], [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] immediately goes to pick up the phone from the toilet, saving Yasuho. Yasuho begs Norisuke to let Paisley Park escape by letting the phone near any power outlet, but Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side, invoking that he is on the right path at the moment to save Tsurugi. Norisuke ultimately refuses to put the phone back and exposes Jobin's crime of murdering [[Ojiro Sasame]], forcing the son to take out his father. In the confusion, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] has the presence of mind to kick the phone that Norisuke drops near an electrical outlet, allowing Paisley Park to escape. Yasuho is still heavily wounded and must call for help. Unable to contact either Josuke or Rai despite Paisley Park's assistance, Yasuho must call [[Tooru]] and tell him to come. Tooru wants to call an ambulance, but Yasuho refuses and instead asks him to assist with healing herself. Tooru tells her that he's on his way. However, when Tooru arrives at the estate, he ignores Yasuho and awaits for events to unfold instead. Yasuho senses a presence but cannot see Tooru for unknown reasons.<br />

Suddenly, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] comes out of the house with the [[New Locacaca]] pot in his hands, and declares that he'll save Yasuho.<br />

{{Quotes|bg=JJL<br />
|{{Q|Should I hide? Or shouldn't I? I'm not sure. No holding out here, hidden, is definitely the right thing to do. But this is so awkward. Even though we only kissed once... Won't you hurry up and go somewhere else... Oh man. Squatting like this is making me dizzy.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The location here is important. They're coordinates that indicate only one thing in this world. The great class-A river's name is Ichio River. And spanning across it is Hagi Bridge. If you cross that bridge from the South to the North Side, you'll arrive in S-City, Momiji ward, Morioh.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|This is a story about breaking a curse... The beginning of it... A curse, as explained by one person, is an impurity that has been handed down because of a sin committed by a distant ancestor you know nothing about. Some describe it using the example of hatred that continued to exist after Sakanoue no Tamuramaro subjugated the Emishi. And by yet another interpretation, when mankind first came into existence and things were firmly classified as black or white, the friction that grew between them is what a curse is. But whichever it may be, a curse is something that must be broken. Or else, you'll be defeated by it... This mysterious boy who was buried in the ground... who in the world is he? Where did he come from?|Yasuho Hirose's narration, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|It's hitting me. It's hitting me. It's hitting me. It's hitting me, dammit! Jeez...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Excuse me agai<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>n. Let me just say a couple things first. I'm Yasuho Hirose. And I'm totally not [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|this guy]]'s friend or anything. I just kinda got reeled into this and I ended up coming to this condo. And I was just thinking I really gotta get heading home... So, uh, what I wanna ask is pretty simple! Are [[Unnamed Characters#Kidnapped Girl|you]] this guy's girlfriend?|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Don't touch meeeeeee! I wish I didn't come here... What am I... doing... in a place like this...? It's dirty... And I thought [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|you]] were a good person... Get out of my hometown. I don't want people like you living in Morioh... I don't want to see you ever again... Not at the train station, not at the cafe, not on the street, nowhere. Stop fucking around!|Yasuho Hirose tearfully shouting at Josuke, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}}}<br />
|{{Q|This place! This house! Even I... don't know where I should go! Even I... don't know who I am!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}}}<br />
|{{Q|There are lots of doors. They're the same shape, the same size, the same color and the same texture. There is no way to differentiate them at all. And there is an infinite number of said doors. But one of the doors definitely has some vestige of being open. When you open and close it many times, those traces become more apparent. Finding those traces and going! Progressing beyong! That is my Stand...Paisley Park.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 40}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Hey, Josuke. Sing something. We can do this while we're walking. Sing something... Like something nostalgic... Well, if you know any songs anyhow... Remember any?|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Maybe you should be less worried about who I am and more worried about what's gonna happen to you! I found you, User!... Now cancel your attack on Josuke right now!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The thing I'm best at might be reading maps... I really like studying maps.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}}}<br />
|{{Q|When Josuke crawled out from the ground by the spring near the Wall Eyes. Back then... I had no idea what was going on, anyway. He was a stranger I was meeting for the first time. The fact that he was a naked and unconscious man didn't help. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything like reach out to grab his wrists and pull him up... But for some reason... I grabbed onto Josuke's wrists straightaway. I felt like it would be okay to grab on, and I frantically pulled Josuke out from the spring water. Even I don't know why I acted the way I did back then. But, I remembered something very important and self-evident... that there isn't a single thing that should be overlooked.[...] Back then, I grabbed onto his wrists... but... the one who was pulled up was me. It's self-evident that there's not a single thing that should be overlooked and I saw that I have the same motive as Josuke does. I want to get my hands on the Locacaca too!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}}}<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All-Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
====Wall Eyes stage====<br />
Yasuho appears as part of the stage hazard and Situation Finish in the Wall Eyes stage.<br />
<br />
If one of the fighters is knocked down on the "hazard" indication area, Yasuho backs away in fright, causing Joshu to appear and run through the stage, hitting anyone who gets in his way with a rock until he reaches her. Before Joshu starts his action, her Stand Paisley Park will appear and track Joshu's way.<br />
<br />
As a Situation Finish, the losing side is knocked out near Yasuho, causing Joshu to become angry and finish the character off with a large stone (referencing the way he attacks Josuke in their first encounter) as Yasuho appears surprised.<br />
<br />
====Campaign Mode====<br />
Yasuho also appears as one of the characters who can be used on Campaign Mode's profile.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:JosukeDog.jpg|thumb|Josuke The Dog]]<br />
<br />
*Yasuho mentions that she once had a dog named Josuke. The resemblance between them is what inspired her to bestow that name upon the protagonist.<br />
*Yasuho shares her surname with [[Koichi Hirose]], as well as various other character traits. Both Yasuho and Koichi were the first characters introduced in their respective stories and their names share the same initial kanji, 康, meaning "peaceful" or "quiet".<br />
**Both characters also have Stands named after a song from the same artist as the main protagonist - in Yasuho's case, both her and Josuke's stands are named for Prince songs.<br />

{{Quote|I have the same motive as [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] does. I want to get my hands on the [[Locacaca]] too!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}}}<br />

<br />
Yasuho is an ordinary university student who accidentally discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] at the [[Wall Eyes]] on the coast of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]. As Josuke seeks his identity, she becomes his primary ally and love interest, deciding to work with him to discover his identity.<br />
<br />
Yasuho eventually becomes a [[Stand]] User, manipulating her [[Paisley Park]] to investigate the city's mysteries.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}}}<br />
Yasuho is a mild-mannered yet inquisitive young woman living in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]].<br />
<br />
She is somewhat innocent, in one instance naively following [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s requests to look elsewhere while he beat [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] during interrogation.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, p9</ref> She is more easily upset than Josuke. Despite this she does show a level of intelligence, using Josuke's cap as a lead to discovering his past, which led to their discovery of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}, p15</ref> She is also somewhat understanding of others, as she was also able to discern, after discovering photos of bound women in Kira's home, that Josuke was not the type of person to do such a thing. She named Josuke after her dog since he resembled him.<br />
<br />
She disagrees with [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]]'s carefree lifestyle, suffering some unhappiness with her domestic life as a result.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}}</ref> On the other hand, Yasuho used to idealize her father and after the divorce of her parents, always cherished the moments she would spend time with him, to the point an illusion of her father wanting to cut off ties with her broke her heart and pushed her to try to commit suicide.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}</ref><br />
[[File:Josuke and Yasuho.jpg|thumb|Yasuho and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
She harbors a growing fondness for Josuke, with whom she shares a close and warm alliance. As ''JoJolion'' progresses, this fondness develops into a sincere attachment. Being eager to reunite with him, she expresses tears when they finally do, a sentiment which Josuke shares.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}, p14</ref> It can be inferred that their feelings have developed into a genuine romance, as the two are shown holding hands as they walk when they finally meet back up. On the other hand, it is possible that Yasuho still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]], with whom she is still intimate.<br />
<br />
In addition to her growing feelings for Josuke, she seems to get along quite well with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]]. While Tsurugi initially kidnapped her on orders of [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], Tsurugi developed an attachment to her (along with a possible crush) and revealed the family secret including his real gender to her. She, in turn, grew fond of him as the two work together to find out Josuke's identity and more about the [[Locacaca]] fruit. They have even fought enemies together, such as [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]], and the two could be seen hanging out together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}}, p6-7</ref><br />
<br />
Over the course of the story, Yasuho grows into a fiercer woman due to the repeated fights she has to participate in. While at the beginning of the story she was completely helpless against foes as she didn't master her Stand, she progressively shows more resourcefulness in the face of the enemy and has shown a readiness to hurt them.<br />

On a humorous note, Yasuho is shown to be able to lick her own elbow. Although it's not much significant, she states that it makes herself feel accomplished.<ref name="jjlc22" /><br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Yasuho was born in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] around 1992. She spent her childhood in the town, at one point befriending [[Joshu Higashikata]]. Around this time, she had a dog named {{MN|Josuke (Dog)|Josuke}}. Her parents divorced when she was 10 years old and from that point on, she started living with her mother and spending weekends with her father.<br />
<br />
During her first year in middle school, Yasuho buys a [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] from a street vendor. She thought it was beautiful, but realized that she forgot about [[Minor Characters#Miko|her friend]]'s birthday party; she was harassed by a multitude of insulting texts from the party-goers not long after.<br />
<br />
Little did Yasuho know about her new hair clip was that it was actually a [[Rock Organism|Rock Animal]] in disguise. Over the course of the week, it secretly causes her to produce a dramatic amount of dandruff, even from her eyebrows. When Yasuho loses the hair clip one day, she is angry at her mother because she thought her mother didn't want her to show her hair clip to [[Unnamed Characters#Yasuho's Dad|her father]]. She is rendered unconscious by the hair clip Rock Animal shortly after.<br />
[[File:yasuho meets holy.jpg|thumb|right|Yasuho meets Holy.]]<br />
She is woken up by a vision of her father (which was cast upon her by the hair clip Rock Animal). Although Yasuho was at first happy to see him, he proceeds to tell Yasuho that he's having an affair with another woman and is more happy with her than with Yasuho. Feeling sick, Yasuho excuses herself to the bathroom. Shortly after, her mother finds her laying on the bathroom sink with her wrist slit.<br />
<br />
On recovery, Yasuho coincidentally meets with [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] in the hospital. Yoshikage shows her the pieces of her new hair clip, saying that he accidentally stepped on it and broke it (unbeknownst to Yasuho and Kira that the latter actually saved her from the hair clip Rock Animal's clutches).<ref name="ReferenceA" /> Whatsoever, Yasuho keeps the pieces in her drawer.<br />
<br />
At some point during high school, she dated [[Tooru]]. She and Joshu also kissed once<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, p1. JoJo's Colored Adventure translation.</ref>.{{-}}<br />
Yasuho is a student at the school of humanities and social sciences in Morioh<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}</ref>.{{-}}<br />
<br />
===JoJolion===<br />
====Meeting Josuke Higashikata====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets josuke.png|thumb|Yasuho discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
Yasuho is introduced huddled on the ground near the [[Wall Eyes]], hiding from [[Joshu Higashikata]], a childhood friend. She sees a a [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man]] half buried in the ground. Wary, she calls an ambulance between simple questions. He sinks into a spring, prompting her to pull him out of the water. At this point, she discovers that he's completely naked and his four testicles. She is interrupted by Joshu, who misinterprets the scene; becoming jealous and launching a lethal attack on the man. The man subdues Joshu with a mysterious power, and they are all collected by an ambulance.<br />
<br />
[[File:JosukeHugsYasuho.png|thumb|left|Yasuho is the first person Josuke ever met and knew about]]<br />
Yasuho visits and brings flowers to both Joshu and the man. She gives them both Morioh-speciality {{W|dango|Dango}} balls while staying in the man's room to converse. She is entertained by his innocence and moved to sympathy by his attention and predicament. She decides to follow him in his escape from the hospital and offers to help him discover his identity. Identifying the brand on the label in his hat, Yasuho takes the man to the "SBR" hat shop; finding its sale on the shopkeeper's record under [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]], with an address. Yasuho thinks the name an ill fit and tells him that he comes off as more of a "Josuke", as he reminds her of her childhood dog of the same name.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho josuke higashikata family.png|thumb|right|Yasuho introduces Josuke to the Higashikatas]]<br />
Both travel to the apartment, and after a provisional scan, they discover a naked woman bathing in the bathtub. Suspicious, she asks the girl if she is Josuke's girlfriend. The girl doesn't answer, but begs Yasuho and Josuke for help, to their suspicion. Yasuho searches for other clues, finding a [[Minor Items#The Fake Photo Album|photo album]] containing sordid images of the woman with a man resembling Josuke. Shocked and despaired, Yasuho storms out of the apartment. Outside, she meets two school friends and passes on their offer to meet later. She cries, feeling betrayed. Eventually, she returns to the apartment, reflecting that what she had learned previously of Josuke's nature is not consistent with the tastes reflected in the album. However, she is attacked upon entering the apartment, as Josuke is now being controlled by a Stand User based in the flat above. Although Yasuho had her right hand branded, Josuke is ultimately able to steal the friction from the floor above to make him fall and slip towards the veranda from which he pulls [[Ojiro Sasame]] to him. Josuke interrogates Ojiro and discovers that Yoshikage Kira was a different man from him. Yasuho, alongside the protagonist, returns to the spring where Josuke was and discovers the real Kira's corpse. Without any leads, she decides to lodge the protagonist with the [[Higashikata Family|Higashikata family]] until they can find his real identity (they independently give him the name "Josuke").<br />
<br />
After a quick introduction to the family, Yasuho is eventually escorted out of the Higashikata household by the [[Kyo Nijimura|maid]] and is threatened to never return, meet with Josuke, or "tempt" Joshu.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the Bloodline====<br />
{{Main|"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)}}<br />
Yasuho returns to her house, finding [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]] inebriated beside the couch with the mark of a kiss on her breast. Crying, she denounces her mother's lifestyle. Before leaving, she opens a letter of reply from an agency that she sent a sample of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Kira]] and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s DNA, learning that "to within 95.8% accuracy", the two represent "the same person". Yasuho receives a call while she's in the street. However, the caller hang up before she can answer and she cannot identify them. Intrigued, Yasuho returns to the Higashikata House and incidentally meets [[Daiya Higashikata]] going out with Josuke behind her. However, Josuke doesn't recognize her because of Daiya's [[California King Bed|ability]] and Yasuho instinctively hides as she realizes something is wrong. However, the problem is solved by Josuke. The two eventually discover that Yoshikage's mother [[Holy Joestar-Kira|Holy Kira]] was a world-renowned ophthalmologist and is currently being kept in Morioh's hospital as a patient.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho bed paisley park.png|thumb|Yasuho unconsciously awakens Paisley Park]]<br />
She makes a call to Josuke and agrees to meet with him at the hospital. Unbeknownst to her, [[Paisley Park]] begins to develop and remotely guides Josuke. Meanwhile, Yasuho manages to get into the hospital and briefly speak with Holy, but is taken away by hospital security for talking to Holy without permission. Out of the hospital, Yasuho feels a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking ill, a nearby medical assistant helps Yasuho onto a stretcher without asking and takes her into the hospital. The assistant eventually leaves her, and Yasuho notices that she is near where Holy is staying. She manages to listen in on a conversation between Holy and her doctors, and finds out that they've detected that parts of Holy's brain and vital organs are somehow missing, despite her denying having had any surgery.<br />
<br />
The next day, Josuke calls Yasuho at school, but she doesn't answer as he was using Joshu's cell phone. She does, however, notice that he was, at the time, located on [[Shakedown Road]] and near a landmark statue called the ''Joestar Jizō''. She discovers, with Paisley Park's help, that the jizō was built as a memorial to [[Johnny Joestar]], who died in Morioh from what was ultimately determined to be a freak accident in 1901.<br />
<br />
====[[Paper Moon Deception]]====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets tsurugi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho formally meets Tsurugi Higashikata]]<br />
Later that day, Yasuho travels to the Meditation Pine Tree near the [[Wall Eyes]] and realizes she can see both the Higashikata mansion and the spring where she previously found Josuke. She finds another article in the newspaper of a small infant that was discovered beneath the pine tree around the same time as Johnny's death. Upon further inspection, Yasuho spots a hole at the base of the pine tree and goes in for a closer look, but is suddenly grabbed by a hand reaching out of it causing her to lose her shoe. She is pulled under where an obscure figure gropes her. A moment later, Yasuho finds herself in the Higashikata Family's cellar directly below the Meditation Pine. The room is filled with several memorabilia dating to the Showa Era (~1937) and there she encounters [[Tsurugi Higashikata]], the grandson of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]. Tsurugi attempts to play a game with her using a mildly profane {{W|Paper fortune teller}}. Yasuho eventually realizes her phone is missing and grabs Tsurugi demanding to know where it is when she discovers that Tsurugi is actually male. He explains that the eldest son of each generation in the Higashikata family is raised as a girl until his 12th birthday to ward off "a curse". To aid Yasuho, [[Paisley Park]] summons itself and travels to Josuke's location, where it inspires Josuke to send her a text message. Yasuho's phone goes off and she traces the source of the noise from underneath the carpet. Tsurugi tries to stop her by grabbing her hand, but after breaking free, Yasuho finds the phone folded like an origami frog and it attacks her.<ref name="jjlc2" /><br />
<br />
Leaving the room, phone in hand, she spots another room. Looking in the window, it is small and austere, containing a set of clothes similar to that worn by Kira, and a collection of objects including an Enter the Dragon poster and Ultraman figurine, among others. Yasuho heads back into town, trailed by Tsurugi. She speaks with a woman with a particular, angular face, who asks for directions. Another woman passes with the same face, as well as a window cleaner, the mannequins in the window, and everyone around her, except for Tsurugi. Before she can consider this, she rubs her eyes, accidentally removing her contact lenses. Heading home and replacing them, she finds that even her mother has this same face, and finally her own reflection. She is taunted by the woman who she assumed was her mother. Upset, she rushes out of her home to the street, crying. <br />
[[File:yasuho paper moon deception.png|thumb|Yasuho cannot distinguish faces or writings because of Tsurugi's Paper Moon King]]<br />
Yasuho looks up and sees Tsurugi, unchanged. She successfully calls Josuke, who agrees to meet within 10 minutes at Gomamitsu café, in reference to his message. Yasuho confronts Tsurugi once more, but he repeats that he will always be available to help her in that room in the basement. Mistaking a shop for Gomamitsu Cafe, Yasuho realizes that she has begun to interpret all words as parts of this phrase. Joshu finds Josuke, taking his phone back, angered that he had called Yasuho. Yasuho mistakes Joshu for Josuke, narrowly passing him by. Thrilled by Yasuho's trust, and misunderstanding her words, Joshu leads Yasuho to a public bathroom, where he reveals his genitals, and begins rapidly undressing her with [[Nut King Call|his Stand]]. Pausing when Yasuho calls Josuke's name, she strikes his head with a cistern lid and escapes. She approaches a car, mistaking its passengers' clothes for police uniforms, before she is kidnapped and nearly force-fed a pill. When Yasuho shouts to stop the car, her Stand disrupts the ankle of the driver, crashing the car into a post. Stumbling away, Yasuho's mother approaches and calls to her, whom Yasuho again fails to recognize. When Tsurugi reveals himself again, Yasuho yields and follows him back to his underground playroom.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 26|Tsurugi's Goal and the Architect]]====<br />
Yasuho goes to Tsurugi's playroom. He apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand, [[Paper Moon King]]. Yasuho asks Tsurugi what is the purpose of the underground complex and Tsurugi explains that it is a space dedicated to treating a mysterious [[Rock Disease|illness]] that turns the skin hard like stone befalling all Higashikata firstborns. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition, whose brain is becoming hard and smooth, memories fragmenting, and that Kira tried to save her.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho fruit in hand.png|thumb|Unconscious during the fight, Yasuho awakes with a mysterious fruit in her hand]]<br />
Falling asleep, a figure emerges from behind a jacket hanging on the wall. Uttering obscurities, mentioning Soft & Wet and an opinion that Josuke need not exist, the man pulls a sheet of clear material from his eyes, pinning it around Yasuho's wrists and face. Taking a pitcher of water, he begins to waterboard Yasuho, waking her to a gasping panic. Yasuho subconsciously sends her Stand before the man pins its leg with his foot, catching its head as it rises from the ground. The man is able to accurately deduce aspects of the Stand's limitation before it escapes his grasp through the hatch in the ceiling. Telling Yasuho that he has been watching "all of them" up to now, the man introduces himself as [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], an architect who most of all desires social status, for which purpose he intends to ensure that Josuke's memories do not return when Josuke "dies again". However, Yotsuyu slips on a banana origami and disappears.<br />
<br />
Yasuho falls asleep later and is kidnapped by Yotsuyu during [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s battle against the architect. Josuke does manage to save her and defeat Yotsuyu. Somehow, Yasuho discovers a [[Locacaca|piece of fruit near her]]. She leaves the fruit and is later told to go away by [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]].<br />
<br />
====Investigating the Locacaca====<br />

<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi event recorder.png|thumb|left|Yasuho & Tsurugi investigate the event recorder and find Jobin's link to the fruit]]<br />
Yasuho begins to master her Stand [[Paisley Park]] when [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] knocks at her door and asks her to help. After Josuke gives them the key of [[Jobin Higashikata]]'s Lamborghini, Yasuho investigates the GPS of the car. Thanks to Paisley Park, Yasuho sees anoter set of car keys and effortlessly hacks into the car. Thus, she manages to discover that Jobin exchanged the [[Locacaca|fruit]] Tsurugi is after with another man: [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]]. When Jobin and Joshu barge in garage where the Lamborghini is, Yasuho manages to hide herself and Tsurugi from them using Paisley Park's ability to foresee obstacles.<br />
<br />
Yasuho proceeds to investigate Aisho. Observing the place where [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] met the man from a rooftop, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] uncover a link between Aisho, who is a security guard at the stadium, and [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]], who oversaw the renovation of the stadium. They see Aisho at the same place heading to a nearby park and decide to tail him with Yasuho's phone folded into a frog. They witness a man who, after eating the fruit, regrows his missing legs while his eyes shatter into stone. As the phone is sent investigating the remains of the fruit, it is spotted by Aisho who crushes it under his feet. Affected by the damage, Yasuho and Tsurugi are nearly killed, but Aisho stops his attack when he kicks the phone away and attempts to phone Yotsuyu. Startled by the lack of answer, Aisho attempts to crush the phone again, but is distracted by a banana peel [[Paisley Park]] placed under his feet, allowing Tsurugi to use his [[Paper Moon King]]. Aisho is unable to recognize the phone and it subsequently escapes. <br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi chased by doobie wah.png|thumb|Yasuho & Tsurugi chased by Doobie Wah!]]<br />
Having checked Aisho's access card, Yasuho determines that the fruit comes from inside the stadium. As they both go down the stairs, they are assailed by Aisho's [[Stand]] [[Doobie Wah!]] hiding in a deadly wind vortex. Escaping the building by a window, they realize that Doobie Wah! is materializing via their breath, forcing them not to breathe as they try to flee. The two try to take a bus away from the enemy Stand but it still materialized out of their breath and attacks them. Yasuho and Tsurugi leave the bus near the Motoyagura train station, and Tsurugi releases a car origami. Soon after both meet a cornered Yasuho and Tsurugi. Recognizing Jobin's son, Aisho demands that Jobin allows him to kill him, but Jobin remains silent. The car origami Tsurugi released comes back to his hand, and Tsurugi explains that he made Aisho confuse any bus with his father. When the bus starts up, it runs over the confused Aisho who is killed and breaks down into dust.<br />
<br />
[[File:josuke & yasuho.png|thumb|left|Josuke & Yasuho properly meet again]]<br />
The next day, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] analyze the video feed of [[Aisho Dainenjiyama|Aisho's]] death, realizing the strange nature of the people they are going after and determined to investigate the stadium. They meet [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and since Yasuho and Josuke are too happy to see each other to continue the investigation, it is paused for the time being. Josuke and Yasuho stroll on the beach, sharing a tender moment, however Josuke is signaled by another girl, calling for a meeting later. Josuke thus leaves Yasuho.<br />
<br />
Later, [[Yasuho]] and [[Tsurugi]] have 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. However, Josuke's conversation is interrupted when he sees [[Hato]] coming back. Yasuho eventually finds a picture and faxes it to Josuke, although the man doesn't even remotely resemble Josuke.<br />
<br />
====[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]====<br />
Josuke calls Yasuho for help with tracking down the [[Dolomite|user]] of [[Blue Hawaii]]. He had left a soap bubble with Dolomite's tooth in it, so Yasuho could use Paisley Park to search medical records and find out whose tooth it is. After finding the tooth, Paisley Park finds a classified document recording an incident where Dorokoma Masaji had eaten 15 of a school's rabbits and another where he had eaten 25 chickens on a farm. She notices some dirt on the tooth, and prepares to use Paisley Park to track down the source of the dirt, but is ambushed by [[Jobin Higashikata]] who causes her to pass out from heatstroke using [[Speed King|his stand]]. Jobin then stomps on her phone, breaking it, and tosses the tooth down a grate.<br />
[[File:yasuho vs dolomite.png|thumb|Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite]]<br />
Yasuho later wakes up but has no way of finding the enemy alone. Josuke, who has been beaten and controlled by Blue Hawaii, now mindlessly walks up to Mutsukabe Shrine. Yasuho spots him and trails Josuke up to Dolomite, whom she attacks with a metal bar and defeats easily since the Rock Human has no limbs. Yasuho goes as far as threatening to push Dolomite into a mud pit, forcing the Rock Human to surrender. Dolomite reveals to Yasuho and Josuke that Jobin was the one who asked him to attack Josuke, also stating that the two have gotten involved in something incredibly dangerous.<br />
<br />
====Seeking the Plant Appraiser====<br />
{{Main|The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31) (story arc)}}{{Main|Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Yasuho then takes the bus alongside Josuke to meet the plant appraiser, whom she meets earlier than thought when the plant appraiser hijacks the bus they are in, claiming they are under attack and that his safety is the priority. The plant appraiser, named [[Rai Mamezuku]], is suspicious of Yasuho, but she pays him no mind, using [[Paisley Park]] to hack the passengers' smartphones and prevent them from informing anyone of what is happening to the bus.<br />
<br />
They arrive at a parking lot, and Yasuho is then invited alongside Josuke to Rai's home. The latter cooks a creme Romanoff for Yasuho, and she is pleasantly surprised at the snack. However, her meal is interrupted when a tree sneaks on her, and Josuke has to save her from falling. Nonetheless, Rai tosses her to the ground, exposing her to the enemy's power.<br />
[[File:yasuho and urban & doremi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho facing Urban Guerrilla & Doremifasolati Do]]<br />
Trying to run to safety, Yasuho is the first to see the face of the enemy. A Rock Human named [[Urban Guerrilla]], encased in his pet [[Doremifasolati Do]], attacks Yasuho again, but Rai stabs Urban and she manages to wash away the swarm of enemy Stand threatening to bore holes into her faces. When the enemy team plunges underground, Josuke jumps down to assist her. Using Paisley Park, Yasuho detects a bedrock area which can serve as a shelter. However, when Doremifasolati Do resurfaces, Josuke learns that his attacks are ineffective and thus Yasuho must flee to the bedrock area with him and is stuck at the top of a boulder.<br />
<br />
As her powers aren't useful in direct combat, Yasuho is forced to watch Josuke and Rai battle the enemy and eventually defeat them. After the battle, Rai isolates Yasuho and tells her to go home to safety. However, she begins to narrate her own backstory and reaffirms her will to help Josuke. Only interested in the strange [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] which tormented her, Rai sends her home to analyze the clip.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the TG University Hospital====<br />
{{Main|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)}}{{Main|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
[[File:Wu-tomoki-attacks.png|thumb|left|Wu Tomoki attacking Yasuho & Mitsuba]]<br />
Yasuho watches news footage of the fire at the Higashikata household as she sits in the waiting room of the hospital for menstrual pain and depression. Although she has been reassured by Rai and Josuke, she is nonetheless worried about the stolen Locacaca branch. She then catches a glimpse of [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and [[Wu Tomoki|her doctor]] notices that Mitsuba's legs have been turned to stone by the Locacaca. Investigating further, she finds herself under attack by said doctor, Dr. Wu Tomoki, who controls Mitsuba's body. Wu tries to transfer himself from Mitsuba but Yasuho, but in the time it takes him to completely invade her, Yasuho manages to extract the few fragments inside of her acting as a beacon for others and takes the released Mitsuba with her. After Yasuho explains what she knows about the Locacaca and the hospital, Mitsuba reveals that she's just learned that she's pregnant and that she's worried for the child. Thus the two then try to reach the examination room where Mitsuba last recalls her examination. Pursued by Wu Tomoki, Yasuho and Mitsuba manage to get rid of him several times thanks to [[Awaking III Leaves]], Mitsuba's Stand. On their way, Yasuho also meets with her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]] and tells him to tell Josuke where she is headed.<br />
<br />
In the examination room, Yasuho discovers a secret tape of Wu Tomoki explaining to the audience the mechanisms of the Locacaca and opens the door to a secret laboratory containing a garden of Locacaca. However, Yasuho notices that the stolen Locacaca branch from the Higashikata garden isn't there. Wu Tomoki suddenly reappears, having taken control once again of Mitsuba by hiding in the Locacaca she eats to save her child. Yasuho must fight Wu Tomoki again, and then during the fight, vials containing deadly diseases are broken. Yasuho returns some of Mitsuba's arrows against Wu Tomoki and purges him out of Mitsuba again. When the doctor tries to scatter the Locacaca fruit and threatens to force-feed them the fruits, Josuke finally comes in and saves Yasuho. Yasuho then explains to the group her findings and she deduces that since Mitsuba was targeted by Wu Tomoki, the branch must have been taken by a third group, [[Jobin Higashikata]] being a prime suspect.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho pursues the head doctor.jpg|thumb|Somehow, Yasuho is unable to get a picture of the head doctor]]<br />
To her frustration, Josuke and Rai nonetheless decide to chase after the last member of the Locacaca Organization: [[Satoru Akefu]], the head doctor of TG University Hospital, who mysteriously has no available picture of himself anywhere. Although Yasuho tries to hack the cameras through Paisley Park, she cannot snap a picture of the head doctor. Even more strangely, unnoticed obstacles keep preventing the group from catching up to the old man. During the chase, Yasuho meets with Tooru again and he flirts with her, causing a mix of suspicion and jealousy from Josuke's part. As Dr. Akefu keeps evading them and leaves the hospital, Yasuho receives a message from Tooru asking her to be with him again. The chase culminates in a car almost crashing into her, although she is saved by [[Soft & Wet]]. However, the doctor has boarded a bus and the trio must stop their chase for the time being. When Josuke gets into a fight with a patient whose broken neck snaps in front of him, Yasuho finds herself alone again as Josuke must deal with the authorities with Rai. This allows Tooru to come back and get closer to her as he reassures he will testify for Josuke.<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru tries to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho]]<br />
Yasuho is next shown sitting on her porch with Tooru as she waits for [[Paisley Park]] to find [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] and the face of the head doctor. After listening to Tooru's proposal, she is distracted when Paisley Park finds a record of Rai purchasing some goods but loses his trace again. Remembering that she was pursuing Satoru Akefu, Tooru shows her a photo of Satoru's face. However, Yasuho is more shocked to discover that Mitsuba and Akefu are acquainted as she is in the photo too. At the same time, the rain has reached Yasuho's location. Focused on Mitsuba, Yasuho has yet to be affected by the rain. Piecing together the information at her disposal, Yasuho is convinced that Akefu is still looking for the new Locacaca and is targeting Mitsuba. Yasuho thus rushes to the Higashikata House with Tooru as her driver.<br />
<br />
She eventually arrives at the [[Higashikata House]] and has Paisley Park infiltrate the house in order to find Mitsuba. However, she finds a very ill [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] instead and tries to ask him where the new [[Locacaca]] branch is. Before Tsurugi can answer, Jobin grabs the phone Paisley Park has hidden in and throws it in the toilet. Yasuho finds herself in deep trouble as she begins to drown and her signal to Paisley Park is cut off. Isolated from any electronic device to escape in, Paisley Park is unable to do anything. Yasuho gets desperate and tries to get attention by filming herself with one of the cameras watching the estate. Mitsuba sees Yasuho and almost saves her, but Jobin's coercion and the appearance of Satoru Akefu before her changes her mind. Determined to protect her son at all costs, Mitsuba decides to let Yasuho die. Yasuho also sees the head doctor but falls down a slope and loses her right arm. Mitsuba decides to flush the phone further down the toilet but she is interrupted. Nevertheless, Yasuho is in a desperate situation.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<br />
<br />
When the [[Higashikata Family]] catches [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] trying to drown [[Paisley Park]], [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] immediately goes to pick up the phone from the toilet, saving Yasuho. Yasuho begs Norisuke to let Paisley Park escape by letting the phone near any power outlet, but Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side, invoking that he is on the right path at the moment to save Tsurugi. Norisuke ultimately refuses to put the phone back and exposes Jobin's crime of murdering [[Ojiro Sasame]], forcing the son to take out his father. In the confusion, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] has the presence of mind to kick the phone that Norisuke drops near an electrical outlet, allowing Paisley Park to escape. Yasuho is still heavily wounded and must call for help. Unable to contact either Josuke or Rai despite Paisley Park's assistance, Yasuho must call [[Tooru]] and tell him to come. Tooru wants to call an ambulance, but Yasuho refuses and instead asks him to assist with healing herself. Tooru tells her that he's on his way. However, when Tooru arrives at the estate, he ignores Yasuho and awaits for events to unfold instead. Yasuho senses a presence but cannot see Tooru for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] comes out of the house with the [[New Locacaca]] pot in his hands, and declares that he'll save Yasuho.<br />

{{Quotes|bg=JJL<br />
|{{Q|Should I hide? Or shouldn't I? I'm not sure. No holding out here, hidden, is definitely the right thing to do. But this is so awkward. Even though we only kissed once... Won't you hurry up and go somewhere else... Oh man. Squatting like this is making me dizzy.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The location here is important. They're coordinates that indicate only one thing in this world. The great class-A river's name is Ichio River. And spanning across it is Hagi Bridge. If you cross that bridge from the South to the North Side, you'll arrive in S-City, Momiji ward, Morioh.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|This is a story about breaking a curse... The beginning of it... A curse, as explained by one person, is an impurity that has been handed down because of a sin committed by a distant ancestor you know nothing about. Some describe it using the example of hatred that continued to exist after Sakanoue no Tamuramaro subjugated the Emishi. And by yet another interpretation, when mankind first came into existence and things were firmly classified as black or white, the friction that grew between them is what a curse is. But whichever it may be, a curse is something that must be broken. Or else, you'll be defeated by it... This mysterious boy who was buried in the ground... who in the world is he? Where did he come from?|Yasuho Hirose's narration, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|It's hitting me. It's hitting me. It's hitting me. It's hitting me, dammit! Jeez...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Excuse me agai<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>n. Let me just say a couple things first. I'm Yasuho Hirose. And I'm totally not [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|this guy]]'s friend or anything. I just kinda got reeled into this and I ended up coming to this condo. And I was just thinking I really gotta get heading home... So, uh, what I wanna ask is pretty simple! Are [[Unnamed Characters#Kidnapped Girl|you]] this guy's girlfriend?|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Don't touch meeeeeee! I wish I didn't come here... What am I... doing... in a place like this...? It's dirty... And I thought [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|you]] were a good person... Get out of my hometown. I don't want people like you living in Morioh... I don't want to see you ever again... Not at the train station, not at the cafe, not on the street, nowhere. Stop fucking around!|Yasuho Hirose tearfully shouting at Josuke, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}}}<br />
|{{Q|This place! This house! Even I... don't know where I should go! Even I... don't know who I am!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}}}<br />
|{{Q|There are lots of doors. They're the same shape, the same size, the same color and the same texture. There is no way to differentiate them at all. And there is an infinite number of said doors. But one of the doors definitely has some vestige of being open. When you open and close it many times, those traces become more apparent. Finding those traces and going! Progressing beyong! That is my Stand...Paisley Park.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 40}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Hey, Josuke. Sing something. We can do this while we're walking. Sing something... Like something nostalgic... Well, if you know any songs anyhow... Remember any?|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Maybe you should be less worried about who I am and more worried about what's gonna happen to you! I found you, User!... Now cancel your attack on Josuke right now!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The thing I'm best at might be reading maps... I really like studying maps.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 63}}}}<br />
|{{Q|When Josuke crawled out from the ground by the spring near the Wall Eyes. Back then... I had no idea what was going on, anyway. He was a stranger I was meeting for the first time. The fact that he was a naked and unconscious man didn't help. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything like reach out to grab his wrists and pull him up... But for some reason... I grabbed onto Josuke's wrists straightaway. I felt like it would be okay to grab on, and I frantically pulled Josuke out from the spring water. Even I don't know why I acted the way I did back then. But, I remembered something very important and self-evident... that there isn't a single thing that should be overlooked.[...] Back then, I grabbed onto his wrists... but... the one who was pulled up was me. It's self-evident that there's not a single thing that should be overlooked and I saw that I have the same motive as Josuke does. I want to get my hands on the Locacaca too!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:JosukeDog.jpg|thumb|Josuke The Dog]]<br />
<br />
*Yasuho mentions that she once had a dog named Josuke. The resemblance between them is what inspired her to bestow that name upon the protagonist.<br />
*Yasuho shares her surname with [[Koichi Hirose]], as well as various other character traits. Both Yasuho and Koichi were the first characters introduced in their respective stories and their names share the same initial kanji, 康, meaning "peaceful" or "quiet".<br />
**Both characters also have Stands named after a song from the same artist as the main protagonist - in Yasuho's case, both her and Josuke's stands are named for Prince songs.<br />

{{Quote|I have the same motive as [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] does. I want to get my hands on the [[Locacaca]] too!|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Yasuho Hirose'''|広瀬 康穂|Hirose Yasuho}} is the deuteragonist of the 8th part of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Yasuho is an ordinary university student who accidentally discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] at the [[Wall Eyes]] on the coast of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]. As Josuke seeks his identity, she becomes his primary ally and love interest, deciding to work with him to discover his identity.<br />
<br />
Yasuho eventually becomes a [[Stand]] User, manipulating her [[Paisley Park]] to investigate the city's mysteries.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Yasuho first outfit.png|frameless|left|90px]]<br />
Yasuho is a pretty, young woman of slim build, 166 cm (5'5") tall. She has light, shoulder-length hair, tied into several pigtails with spherical hair clips. Josuke observes that she has a 65 cm waistline, an 88 cm hipline, and wears a C-cup.<ref name="jjlc22" /><br />
<br />
Her first outfit featured a wide-necked, cap-sleeved blouse. Her second features a sleeveless top with roses on both shoulder straps. Both blouses are light-colored.<br />
<br />
She wears a short skirt half covered with roses, short leg warmers, and footwear that has alternated between walking boots and athletic shoes with socks.<br />
<br />
Yasuho is shown to need contact lenses and is visually impaired.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|Josuke... It feels like we're meeting for the first time in a while. But it's only been 4 days since I went to the Higashikata House. But... I'm kind of... really excited...|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 12}}}}<br />
Yasuho is a mild-mannered yet inquisitive young woman living in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]].<br />
<br />
She is somewhat innocent, in one instance naively following [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s requests to look elsewhere while he beat [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] during interrogation.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}, p9</ref> She is more easily upset than Josuke. Despite this she does show a level of intelligence, using Josuke's cap as a lead to discovering his past, which led to their discovery of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 2}}, p15</ref> She is also somewhat understanding of others, as she was also able to discern, after discovering photos of bound women in Kira's home, that Josuke was not the type of person to do such a thing. She named Josuke after her dog since he resembled him.<br />
<br />
She disagrees with [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]]'s carefree lifestyle, suffering some unhappiness with her domestic life as a result.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 8}}</ref> On the other hand, Yasuho used to idealize her father and after the divorce of her parents, always cherished the moments she would spend time with him, to the point an illusion of her father wanting to cut off ties with her broke her heart and pushed her to try to commit suicide.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 71}}</ref><br />
[[File:Josuke and Yasuho.jpg|thumb|Yasuho and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
She harbors a growing fondness for Josuke, with whom she shares a close and warm alliance. As ''JoJolion'' progresses, this fondness develops into a sincere attachment. Being eager to reunite with him, she expresses tears when they finally do, a sentiment which Josuke shares.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 43}}, p14</ref> It can be inferred that their feelings have developed into a genuine romance, as the two are shown holding hands as they walk when they finally meet back up. On the other hand, it is possible that Yasuho still has feelings for her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]], with whom she is still intimate.<br />
<br />
In addition to her growing feelings for Josuke, she seems to get along quite well with [[Tsurugi Higashikata]]. While Tsurugi initially kidnapped her on orders of [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], Tsurugi developed an attachment to her (along with a possible crush) and revealed the family secret including his real gender to her. She, in turn, grew fond of him as the two work together to find out Josuke's identity and more about the [[Locacaca]] fruit. They have even fought enemies together, such as [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]], and the two could be seen hanging out together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 47}}, p6-7</ref><br />
<br />
Over the course of the story, Yasuho grows into a fiercer woman due to the repeated fights she has to participate in. While at the beginning of the story she was completely helpless against foes as she didn't master her Stand, she progressively shows more resourcefulness in the face of the enemy and has shown a readiness to hurt them.<br />

{{-}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
Yasuho was born in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] around 1992. She spent her childhood in the town, at one point befriending [[Joshu Higashikata]]. Around this time, she had a dog named {{MN|Josuke (Dog)|Josuke}}. Her parents divorced when she was 10 years old and from that point on, she started living with her mother and spending weekends with her father.<br />
<br />
During her first year in middle school, Yasuho buys a [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] from a street vendor. She thought it was beautiful, but realized that she forgot about [[Minor Characters#Miko|her friend]]'s birthday party; she was harassed by a multitude of insulting texts from the party-goers not long after.<br />
<br />
Little did Yasuho know about her new hair clip was that it was actually a [[Rock Organism|Rock Animal]] in disguise. Over the course of the week, it secretly causes her to produce a dramatic amount of dandruff, even from her eyebrows. When Yasuho loses the hair clip one day, she is angry at her mother because she thought her mother didn't want her to show her hair clip to [[Unnamed Characters#Yasuho's Dad|her father]]. She is rendered unconscious by the hair clip Rock Animal shortly after.<br />
[[File:yasuho meets holy.jpg|thumb|right|Yasuho meets Holy.]]<br />
She is woken up by a vision of her father (which was cast upon her by the hair clip Rock Animal). Although Yasuho was at first happy to see him, he proceeds to tell Yasuho that he's having an affair with another woman and is more happy with her than with Yasuho. Feeling sick, Yasuho excuses herself to the bathroom. Shortly after, her mother finds her laying on the bathroom sink with her wrist slit.<br />
<br />
On recovery, Yasuho coincidentally meets with [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] in the hospital. Yoshikage shows her the pieces of her new hair clip, saying that he accidentally stepped on it and broke it (unbeknownst to Yasuho and Kira that the latter actually saved her from the hair clip Rock Animal's clutches).<ref name="ReferenceA" /> Whatsoever, Yasuho keeps the pieces in her drawer.<br />
<br />
At some point during high school, she dated [[Tooru]]. She and Joshu also kissed once<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}, p1. JoJo's Colored Adventure translation.</ref>.{{-}}<br />
<br />
Yasuho is a student at the school of humanities and social sciences in Morioh<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}</ref>.{{-}}<br />
<br />
===JoJolion===<br />
====Meeting Josuke Higashikata====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets josuke.png|thumb|Yasuho discovers [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]].]]<br />
Yasuho is introduced huddled on the ground near the [[Wall Eyes]], hiding from [[Joshu Higashikata]], a childhood friend. She sees a a [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|man]] half buried in the ground. Wary, she calls an ambulance between simple questions. He sinks into a spring, prompting her to pull him out of the water. At this point, she discovers that he's completely naked and his four testicles. She is interrupted by Joshu, who misinterprets the scene; becoming jealous and launching a lethal attack on the man. The man subdues Joshu with a mysterious power, and they are all collected by an ambulance.<br />
<br />
[[File:JosukeHugsYasuho.png|thumb|left|Yasuho is the first person Josuke ever met and knew about]]<br />
Yasuho visits and brings flowers to both Joshu and the man. She gives them both Morioh-speciality {{W|dango|Dango}} balls while staying in the man's room to converse. She is entertained by his innocence and moved to sympathy by his attention and predicament. She decides to follow him in his escape from the hospital and offers to help him discover his identity. Identifying the brand on the label in his hat, Yasuho takes the man to the "SBR" hat shop; finding its sale on the shopkeeper's record under [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]], with an address. Yasuho thinks the name an ill fit and tells him that he comes off as more of a "Josuke", as he reminds her of her childhood dog of the same name.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho josuke higashikata family.png|thumb|right|Yasuho introduces Josuke to the Higashikatas]]<br />
Both travel to the apartment, and after a provisional scan, they discover a naked woman bathing in the bathtub. Suspicious, she asks the girl if she is Josuke's girlfriend. The girl doesn't answer, but begs Yasuho and Josuke for help, to their suspicion. Yasuho searches for other clues, finding a [[Minor Items#The Fake Photo Album|photo album]] containing sordid images of the woman with a man resembling Josuke. Shocked and despaired, Yasuho storms out of the apartment. Outside, she meets two school friends and passes on their offer to meet later. She cries, feeling betrayed. Eventually, she returns to the apartment, reflecting that what she had learned previously of Josuke's nature is not consistent with the tastes reflected in the album. However, she is attacked upon entering the apartment, as Josuke is now being controlled by a Stand User based in the flat above. Although Yasuho had her right hand branded, Josuke is ultimately able to steal the friction from the floor above to make him fall and slip towards the veranda from which he pulls [[Ojiro Sasame]] to him. Josuke interrogates Ojiro and discovers that Yoshikage Kira was a different man from him. Yasuho, alongside the protagonist, returns to the spring where Josuke was and discovers the real Kira's corpse. Without any leads, she decides to lodge the protagonist with the [[Higashikata Family|Higashikata family]] until they can find his real identity (they independently give him the name "Josuke").<br />
<br />
After a quick introduction to the family, Yasuho is eventually escorted out of the Higashikata household by the [[Kyo Nijimura|maid]] and is threatened to never return, meet with Josuke, or "tempt" Joshu.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the Bloodline====<br />
{{Main|"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)}}<br />
Yasuho returns to her house, finding [[Suzuyo Hirose|her mother]] inebriated beside the couch with the mark of a kiss on her breast. Crying, she denounces her mother's lifestyle. Before leaving, she opens a letter of reply from an agency that she sent a sample of [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Kira]] and [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s DNA, learning that "to within 95.8% accuracy", the two represent "the same person". Yasuho receives a call while she's in the street. However, the caller hang up before she can answer and she cannot identify them. Intrigued, Yasuho returns to the Higashikata House and incidentally meets [[Daiya Higashikata]] going out with Josuke behind her. However, Josuke doesn't recognize her because of Daiya's [[California King Bed|ability]] and Yasuho instinctively hides as she realizes something is wrong. However, the problem is solved by Josuke. The two eventually discover that Yoshikage's mother [[Holy Joestar-Kira|Holy Kira]] was a world-renowned ophthalmologist and is currently being kept in Morioh's hospital as a patient.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho bed paisley park.png|thumb|Yasuho unconsciously awakens Paisley Park]]<br />
She makes a call to Josuke and agrees to meet with him at the hospital. Unbeknownst to her, [[Paisley Park]] begins to develop and remotely guides Josuke. Meanwhile, Yasuho manages to get into the hospital and briefly speak with Holy, but is taken away by hospital security for talking to Holy without permission. Out of the hospital, Yasuho feels a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking ill, a nearby medical assistant helps Yasuho onto a stretcher without asking and takes her into the hospital. The assistant eventually leaves her, and Yasuho notices that she is near where Holy is staying. She manages to listen in on a conversation between Holy and her doctors, and finds out that they've detected that parts of Holy's brain and vital organs are somehow missing, despite her denying having had any surgery.<br />
<br />
The next day, Josuke calls Yasuho at school, but she doesn't answer as he was using Joshu's cell phone. She does, however, notice that he was, at the time, located on [[Shakedown Road]] and near a landmark statue called the ''Joestar Jizō''. She discovers, with Paisley Park's help, that the jizō was built as a memorial to [[Johnny Joestar]], who died in Morioh from what was ultimately determined to be a freak accident in 1901.<br />
<br />
====[[Paper Moon Deception]]====<br />
[[File:yasuho meets tsurugi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho formally meets Tsurugi Higashikata]]<br />
Later that day, Yasuho travels to the Meditation Pine Tree near the [[Wall Eyes]] and realizes she can see both the Higashikata mansion and the spring where she previously found Josuke. She finds another article in the newspaper of a small infant that was discovered beneath the pine tree around the same time as Johnny's death. Upon further inspection, Yasuho spots a hole at the base of the pine tree and goes in for a closer look, but is suddenly grabbed by a hand reaching out of it causing her to lose her shoe. She is pulled under where an obscure figure gropes her. A moment later, Yasuho finds herself in the Higashikata Family's cellar directly below the Meditation Pine. The room is filled with several memorabilia dating to the Showa Era (~1937) and there she encounters [[Tsurugi Higashikata]], the grandson of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]. Tsurugi attempts to play a game with her using a mildly profane {{W|Paper fortune teller}}. Yasuho eventually realizes her phone is missing and grabs Tsurugi demanding to know where it is when she discovers that Tsurugi is actually male. He explains that the eldest son of each generation in the Higashikata family is raised as a girl until his 12th birthday to ward off "a curse". To aid Yasuho, [[Paisley Park]] summons itself and travels to Josuke's location, where it inspires Josuke to send her a text message. Yasuho's phone goes off and she traces the source of the noise from underneath the carpet. Tsurugi tries to stop her by grabbing her hand, but after breaking free, Yasuho finds the phone folded like an origami frog and it attacks her.<ref name="jjlc2" /><br />
<br />
Leaving the room, phone in hand, she spots another room. Looking in the window, it is small and austere, containing a set of clothes similar to that worn by Kira, and a collection of objects including an Enter the Dragon poster and Ultraman figurine, among others. Yasuho heads back into town, trailed by Tsurugi. She speaks with a woman with a particular, angular face, who asks for directions. Another woman passes with the same face, as well as a window cleaner, the mannequins in the window, and everyone around her, except for Tsurugi. Before she can consider this, she rubs her eyes, accidentally removing her contact lenses. Heading home and replacing them, she finds that even her mother has this same face, and finally her own reflection. She is taunted by the woman who she assumed was her mother. Upset, she rushes out of her home to the street, crying. <br />
[[File:yasuho paper moon deception.png|thumb|Yasuho cannot distinguish faces or writings because of Tsurugi's Paper Moon King]]<br />
Yasuho looks up and sees Tsurugi, unchanged. She successfully calls Josuke, who agrees to meet within 10 minutes at Gomamitsu café, in reference to his message. Yasuho confronts Tsurugi once more, but he repeats that he will always be available to help her in that room in the basement. Mistaking a shop for Gomamitsu Cafe, Yasuho realizes that she has begun to interpret all words as parts of this phrase. Joshu finds Josuke, taking his phone back, angered that he had called Yasuho. Yasuho mistakes Joshu for Josuke, narrowly passing him by. Thrilled by Yasuho's trust, and misunderstanding her words, Joshu leads Yasuho to a public bathroom, where he reveals his genitals, and begins rapidly undressing her with [[Nut King Call|his Stand]]. Pausing when Yasuho calls Josuke's name, she strikes his head with a cistern lid and escapes. She approaches a car, mistaking its passengers' clothes for police uniforms, before she is kidnapped and nearly force-fed a pill. When Yasuho shouts to stop the car, her Stand disrupts the ankle of the driver, crashing the car into a post. Stumbling away, Yasuho's mother approaches and calls to her, whom Yasuho again fails to recognize. When Tsurugi reveals himself again, Yasuho yields and follows him back to his underground playroom.<br />
<br />
====[[JJL Chapter 26|Tsurugi's Goal and the Architect]]====<br />
Yasuho goes to Tsurugi's playroom. He apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand, [[Paper Moon King]]. Yasuho asks Tsurugi what is the purpose of the underground complex and Tsurugi explains that it is a space dedicated to treating a mysterious [[Rock Disease|illness]] that turns the skin hard like stone befalling all Higashikata firstborns. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition, whose brain is becoming hard and smooth, memories fragmenting, and that Kira tried to save her.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho fruit in hand.png|thumb|Unconscious during the fight, Yasuho awakes with a mysterious fruit in her hand]]<br />
Falling asleep, a figure emerges from behind a jacket hanging on the wall. Uttering obscurities, mentioning Soft & Wet and an opinion that Josuke need not exist, the man pulls a sheet of clear material from his eyes, pinning it around Yasuho's wrists and face. Taking a pitcher of water, he begins to waterboard Yasuho, waking her to a gasping panic. Yasuho subconsciously sends her Stand before the man pins its leg with his foot, catching its head as it rises from the ground. The man is able to accurately deduce aspects of the Stand's limitation before it escapes his grasp through the hatch in the ceiling. Telling Yasuho that he has been watching "all of them" up to now, the man introduces himself as [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], an architect who most of all desires social status, for which purpose he intends to ensure that Josuke's memories do not return when Josuke "dies again". However, Yotsuyu slips on a banana origami and disappears.<br />
<br />
Yasuho falls asleep later and is kidnapped by Yotsuyu during [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]'s battle against the architect. Josuke does manage to save her and defeat Yotsuyu. Somehow, Yasuho discovers a [[Locacaca|piece of fruit near her]]. She leaves the fruit and is later told to go away by [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]].<br />

<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi event recorder.png|thumb|left|Yasuho & Tsurugi investigate the event recorder and find Jobin's link to the fruit]]<br />
Yasuho begins to master her Stand [[Paisley Park]] when [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] knocks at her door and asks her to help. After Josuke gives them the key of [[Jobin Higashikata]]'s Lamborghini, Yasuho investigates the GPS of the car. Thanks to Paisley Park, Yasuho sees anoter set of car keys and effortlessly hacks into the car. Thus, she manages to discover that Jobin exchanged the [[Locacaca|fruit]] Tsurugi is after with another man: [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]]. When Jobin and Joshu barge in garage where the Lamborghini is, Yasuho manages to hide herself and Tsurugi from them using Paisley Park's ability to foresee obstacles.<br />
<br />
Yasuho proceeds to investigate Aisho. Observing the place where [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] met the man from a rooftop, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] uncover a link between Aisho, who is a security guard at the stadium, and [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]], who oversaw the renovation of the stadium. They see Aisho at the same place heading to a nearby park and decide to tail him with Yasuho's phone folded into a frog. They witness a man who, after eating the fruit, regrows his missing legs while his eyes shatter into stone. As the phone is sent investigating the remains of the fruit, it is spotted by Aisho who crushes it under his feet. Affected by the damage, Yasuho and Tsurugi are nearly killed, but Aisho stops his attack when he kicks the phone away and attempts to phone Yotsuyu. Startled by the lack of answer, Aisho attempts to crush the phone again, but is distracted by a banana peel [[Paisley Park]] placed under his feet, allowing Tsurugi to use his [[Paper Moon King]]. Aisho is unable to recognize the phone and it subsequently escapes. <br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho tsurugi chased by doobie wah.png|thumb|Yasuho & Tsurugi chased by Doobie Wah!]]<br />
Having checked Aisho's access card, Yasuho determines that the fruit comes from inside the stadium. As they both go down the stairs, they are assailed by Aisho's [[Stand]] [[Doobie Wah!]] hiding in a deadly wind vortex. Escaping the building by a window, they realize that Doobie Wah! is materializing via their breath, forcing them not to breathe as they try to flee. The two try to take a bus away from the enemy Stand but it still materialized out of their breath and attacks them. Yasuho and Tsurugi leave the bus near the Motoyagura train station, and Tsurugi releases a car origami. Soon after both meet a cornered Yasuho and Tsurugi. Recognizing Jobin's son, Aisho demands that Jobin allows him to kill him, but Jobin remains silent. The car origami Tsurugi released comes back to his hand, and Tsurugi explains that he made Aisho confuse any bus with his father. When the bus starts up, it runs over the confused Aisho who is killed and breaks down into dust.<br />
<br />
[[File:josuke & yasuho.png|thumb|left|Josuke & Yasuho properly meet again]]<br />
The next day, Yasuho and [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] analyze the video feed of [[Aisho Dainenjiyama|Aisho's]] death, realizing the strange nature of the people they are going after and determined to investigate the stadium. They meet [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and since Yasuho and Josuke are too happy to see each other to continue the investigation, it is paused for the time being. Josuke and Yasuho stroll on the beach, sharing a tender moment, however Josuke is signaled by another girl, calling for a meeting later. Josuke thus leaves Yasuho.<br />
<br />
Later, [[Yasuho]] and [[Tsurugi]] have 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. However, Josuke's conversation is interrupted when he sees [[Hato]] coming back. Yasuho eventually finds a picture and faxes it to Josuke, although the man doesn't even remotely resemble Josuke.<br />
<br />
====[[Dolomite's Blue Lagoon (story arc)|Dolomite's Blue Lagoon]]====<br />
Josuke calls Yasuho for help with tracking down the [[Dolomite|user]] of [[Blue Hawaii]]. He had left a soap bubble with Dolomite's tooth in it, so Yasuho could use Paisley Park to search medical records and find out whose tooth it is. After finding the tooth, Paisley Park finds a classified document recording an incident where Dorokoma Masaji had eaten 15 of a school's rabbits and another where he had eaten 25 chickens on a farm. She notices some dirt on the tooth, and prepares to use Paisley Park to track down the source of the dirt, but is ambushed by [[Jobin Higashikata]] who causes her to pass out from heatstroke using [[Speed King|his stand]]. Jobin then stomps on her phone, breaking it, and tosses the tooth down a grate.<br />
[[File:yasuho vs dolomite.png|thumb|Yasuho finds and corners Dolomite]]<br />
Yasuho later wakes up but has no way of finding the enemy alone. Josuke, who has been beaten and controlled by Blue Hawaii, now mindlessly walks up to Mutsukabe Shrine. Yasuho spots him and trails Josuke up to Dolomite, whom she attacks with a metal bar and defeats easily since the Rock Human has no limbs. Yasuho goes as far as threatening to push Dolomite into a mud pit, forcing the Rock Human to surrender. Dolomite reveals to Yasuho and Josuke that Jobin was the one who asked him to attack Josuke, also stating that the two have gotten involved in something incredibly dangerous.<br />
<br />
====Seeking the Plant Appraiser====<br />
{{Main|The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31) (story arc)}}{{Main|Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Yasuho then takes the bus alongside Josuke to meet the plant appraiser, whom she meets earlier than thought when the plant appraiser hijacks the bus they are in, claiming they are under attack and that his safety is the priority. The plant appraiser, named [[Rai Mamezuku]], is suspicious of Yasuho, but she pays him no mind, using [[Paisley Park]] to hack the passengers' smartphones and prevent them from informing anyone of what is happening to the bus.<br />
<br />
They arrive at a parking lot, and Yasuho is then invited alongside Josuke to Rai's home. The latter cooks a creme Romanoff for Yasuho, and she is pleasantly surprised at the snack. However, her meal is interrupted when a tree sneaks on her, and Josuke has to save her from falling. Nonetheless, Rai tosses her to the ground, exposing her to the enemy's power.<br />
[[File:yasuho and urban & doremi.png|thumb|left|Yasuho facing Urban Guerrilla & Doremifasolati Do]]<br />
Trying to run to safety, Yasuho is the first to see the face of the enemy. A Rock Human named [[Urban Guerrilla]], encased in his pet [[Doremifasolati Do]], attacks Yasuho again, but Rai stabs Urban and she manages to wash away the swarm of enemy Stand threatening to bore holes into her faces. When the enemy team plunges underground, Josuke jumps down to assist her. Using Paisley Park, Yasuho detects a bedrock area which can serve as a shelter. However, when Doremifasolati Do resurfaces, Josuke learns that his attacks are ineffective and thus Yasuho must flee to the bedrock area with him and is stuck at the top of a boulder.<br />
<br />
As her powers aren't useful in direct combat, Yasuho is forced to watch Josuke and Rai battle the enemy and eventually defeat them. After the battle, Rai isolates Yasuho and tells her to go home to safety. However, she begins to narrate her own backstory and reaffirms her will to help Josuke. Only interested in the strange [[Hair Clip|hair clip]] which tormented her, Rai sends her home to analyze the clip.<br />
<br />
====Investigating the TG University Hospital====<br />
{{Main|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)}}{{Main|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)}}<br />
[[File:Wu-tomoki-attacks.png|thumb|left|Wu Tomoki attacking Yasuho & Mitsuba]]<br />
Yasuho watches news footage of the fire at the Higashikata household as she sits in the waiting room of the hospital for menstrual pain and depression. Although she has been reassured by Rai and Josuke, she is nonetheless worried about the stolen Locacaca branch. She then catches a glimpse of [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and [[Wu Tomoki|her doctor]] notices that Mitsuba's legs have been turned to stone by the Locacaca. Investigating further, she finds herself under attack by said doctor, Dr. Wu Tomoki, who controls Mitsuba's body. Wu tries to transfer himself from Mitsuba but Yasuho, but in the time it takes him to completely invade her, Yasuho manages to extract the few fragments inside of her acting as a beacon for others and takes the released Mitsuba with her. After Yasuho explains what she knows about the Locacaca and the hospital, Mitsuba reveals that she's just learned that she's pregnant and that she's worried for the child. Thus the two then try to reach the examination room where Mitsuba last recalls her examination. Pursued by Wu Tomoki, Yasuho and Mitsuba manage to get rid of him several times thanks to [[Awaking III Leaves]], Mitsuba's Stand. On their way, Yasuho also meets with her ex-boyfriend [[Tooru]] and tells him to tell Josuke where she is headed.<br />
<br />
In the examination room, Yasuho discovers a secret tape of Wu Tomoki explaining to the audience the mechanisms of the Locacaca and opens the door to a secret laboratory containing a garden of Locacaca. However, Yasuho notices that the stolen Locacaca branch from the Higashikata garden isn't there. Wu Tomoki suddenly reappears, having taken control once again of Mitsuba by hiding in the Locacaca she eats to save her child. Yasuho must fight Wu Tomoki again, and then during the fight, vials containing deadly diseases are broken. Yasuho returns some of Mitsuba's arrows against Wu Tomoki and purges him out of Mitsuba again. When the doctor tries to scatter the Locacaca fruit and threatens to force-feed them the fruits, Josuke finally comes in and saves Yasuho. Yasuho then explains to the group her findings and she deduces that since Mitsuba was targeted by Wu Tomoki, the branch must have been taken by a third group, [[Jobin Higashikata]] being a prime suspect.<br />
<br />
[[File:yasuho pursues the head doctor.jpg|thumb|Somehow, Yasuho is unable to get a picture of the head doctor]]<br />
To her frustration, Josuke and Rai nonetheless decide to chase after the last member of the Locacaca Organization: [[Satoru Akefu]], the head doctor of TG University Hospital, who mysteriously has no available picture of himself anywhere. Although Yasuho tries to hack the cameras through Paisley Park, she cannot snap a picture of the head doctor. Even more strangely, unnoticed obstacles keep preventing the group from catching up to the old man. During the chase, Yasuho meets with Tooru again and he flirts with her, causing a mix of suspicion and jealousy from Josuke's part. As Dr. Akefu keeps evading them and leaves the hospital, Yasuho receives a message from Tooru asking her to be with him again. The chase culminates in a car almost crashing into her, although she is saved by [[Soft & Wet]]. However, the doctor has boarded a bus and the trio must stop their chase for the time being. When Josuke gets into a fight with a patient whose broken neck snaps in front of him, Yasuho finds herself alone again as Josuke must deal with the authorities with Rai. This allows Tooru to come back and get closer to her as he reassures he will testify for Josuke.<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru tries to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho]]<br />
Yasuho is next shown sitting on her porch with Tooru as she waits for [[Paisley Park]] to find [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] and the face of the head doctor. After listening to Tooru's proposal, she is distracted when Paisley Park finds a record of Rai purchasing some goods but loses his trace again. Remembering that she was pursuing Satoru Akefu, Tooru shows her a photo of Satoru's face. However, Yasuho is more shocked to discover that Mitsuba and Akefu are acquainted as she is in the photo too. At the same time, the rain has reached Yasuho's location. Focused on Mitsuba, Yasuho has yet to be affected by the rain. Piecing together the information at her disposal, Yasuho is convinced that Akefu is still looking for the new Locacaca and is targeting Mitsuba. Yasuho thus rushes to the Higashikata House with Tooru as her driver.<br />
<br />
She eventually arrives at the [[Higashikata House]] and has Paisley Park infiltrate the house in order to find Mitsuba. However, she finds a very ill [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]] instead and tries to ask him where the new [[Locacaca]] branch is. Before Tsurugi can answer, Jobin grabs the phone Paisley Park has hidden in and throws it in the toilet. Yasuho finds herself in deep trouble as she begins to drown and her signal to Paisley Park is cut off. Isolated from any electronic device to escape in, Paisley Park is unable to do anything. Yasuho gets desperate and tries to get attention by filming herself with one of the cameras watching the estate. Mitsuba sees Yasuho and almost saves her, but Jobin's coercion and the appearance of Satoru Akefu before her changes her mind. Determined to protect her son at all costs, Mitsuba decides to let Yasuho die. Yasuho also sees the head doctor but falls down a slope and loses her right arm. Mitsuba decides to flush the phone further down the toilet but she is interrupted. Nevertheless, Yasuho is in a desperate situation.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<br />
<br />
When the [[Higashikata Family]] catches [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]] trying to drown [[Paisley Park]], [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] immediately goes to pick up the phone from the toilet, saving Yasuho. Yasuho begs Norisuke to let Paisley Park escape by letting the phone near any power outlet, but Jobin tries to sway Norisuke to his side, invoking that he is on the right path at the moment to save Tsurugi. Norisuke ultimately refuses to put the phone back and exposes Jobin's crime of murdering [[Ojiro Sasame]], forcing the son to take out his father. In the confusion, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] has the presence of mind to kick the phone that Norisuke drops near an electrical outlet, allowing Paisley Park to escape. Yasuho is still heavily wounded and must call for help. Unable to contact either Josuke or Rai despite Paisley Park's assistance, Yasuho must call [[Tooru]] and tell him to come. Tooru wants to call an ambulance, but Yasuho refuses and instead asks him to assist with healing herself. Tooru tells her that he's on his way. However, when Tooru arrives at the estate, he ignores Yasuho and awaits for events to unfold instead. Yasuho senses a presence but cannot see Tooru for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] comes out of the house with the [[New Locacaca]] pot in his hands, and declares that he'll save Yasuho.<br />

|{{Q|Should I hide? Or shouldn't I? I'm not sure. No holding out here, hidden, is definitely the right thing to do. But this is so awkward. Even though we only kissed once... Won't you hurry up and go somewhere else... Oh man. Squatting like this is making me dizzy.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The location here is important. They're coordinates that indicate only one thing in this world. The great class-A river's name is Ichio River. And spanning across it is Hagi Bridge. If you cross that bridge from the South to the North Side, you'll arrive in S-City, Momiji ward, Morioh.|Yasuho Hirose, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 1}}}}<br />
|{{Q|This is a story about breaking a curse... The beginning of it... A curse, as explained by one person, is an impurity that has been handed down because of a sin committed by a distant ancestor you know nothing about. Some describe it using the example of hatred that continued to exist after Sakanoue no Tamuramaro subjugated the Emishi. And by yet another interpretation, when mankind first came into existence and things were firmly classified as black or white, the friction that grew between them is what a curse is. But whichever it may be, a curse is something that must be broken. Or else, you'll be defeated by it... This mysterious boy who was buried in the ground... who in the world is he?

|{{Q|When Josuke crawled out from the ground by the spring near the Wall Eyes. Back then... I had no idea what was going on, anyway. He was a stranger I was meeting for the first time. The fact that he was a naked and unconscious man didn't help. Normally, I wouldn't have done anything like reach out to grab his wrists and pull him up... But for some reason... I grabbed onto Josuke's wrists straightaway. I felt like it would be okay to grab on, and I frantically pulled Josuke out from the spring water. Even I don't know why I acted the way I did back then. But, I remembered something very important and self-evident... that there isn't a single thing that should be overlooked.[...] Back then, I grabbed onto his wrists... but... the one who was pulled up was me.

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:JosukeDog.jpg|thumb|Josuke The Dog]]<br />
<br />
*Yasuho mentions that she once had a dog named Josuke. The resemblance between them is what inspired her to bestow that name upon the protagonist.<br />
*Yasuho shares her surname with [[Koichi Hirose]], as well as various other character traits. Both Yasuho and Koichi were the first characters introduced in their respective stories and their names share the same initial kanji, 康, meaning "peaceful" or "quiet".<br />
**Both characters also have Stands named after a song from the same artist as the main protagonist - in Yasuho's case, both her and Josuke's stands are named for Prince songs.<br />

<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
A former {{W|Horse racing|horse-racing}} prodigy turned {{W|paraplegic}}, Johnny joins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|SBR]] race to find out the secret behind [[Gyro Zeppeli]]'s [[Steel Ball]]s as they're the only thing capable of healing his legs. Over the course of the race, Johnny becomes both a [[Spin]] User and a [[Stand]] User when he acquires [[Tusk]].<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:5--><br />
[[File:Johnny crop.png|left|frameless|180px]]<br />
Johnny is a young man of below-average height and slim to medium build. He has light eyes, and light, shoulder-length hair curling upwards at its ends.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
Johnny always wears a {{W|Knit cap|knit cap}}, printed with many small five-pointed stars. His hair sticks out of holes on either side of the top, taking a shape like short horns. A horseshoe hangs from the front; framing an image of the dark silhouette of the profile of a horse's reared head.<br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
Johnny wears similarly star-patterned pants; of a piece with footwear bearing {{W|Spur|spurs}}. He commonly wears a light-colored, hooded, short-sleeved top; printed with thick lines in the approximate formation of a harness (later, with patches in the shape of hearts adorning both shoulders). A long feather (bordered by black with one black spot at its tip) emerges from under the back of his collar; and he wears wrist cuffs patterned with stars and stripes.<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
During the flashback in [[SBR Chapter 42]], Johnny wears a long sleeved blue top with stars on them, a light blue coat tied round the waist; and light brown trousers and blue boots.<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
In cold weather, Johnny wears a longer-sleeved top of a similar design. His collar is outlined with fur, and he keeps several feathers at his back.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
As a paraplegic, before the beginning of the race he is seen using a wheelchair; but during, he is usually mounted on his horse, [[List of Horses in Steel Ball Run#Slow Dancer|Slow Dancer]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
During the course of the series, Johnny gradually changes into a more realistic appearance; with slightly wavy hair and a slightly fuller build.<br />

==Personality== <!--T:13--><br />
{{Quote|I want to get my hands on that corpse no matter what! I don’t care about living or dying or who’s just and who’s evil! I don’t even give a fuck about the corpse being a saint or whatever!! I’m still negative! I want to get up to zero! If I can get the corpse, I can get my negative back to zero!|Johnny Joestar, {{Ch|SBR Chapter 72}}}}<br />
Johnny Joestar is a depressive ex-jockey, who clings to his hope of regaining the use of his legs through the Spin and then the Corpse Parts throughout ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''.<br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
Johnny is introduced as a distant paraplegic man whose career was ruined when he was shot in the spine after conceitedly antagonizing a passerby.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 3}}, p7-10</ref> After Johnny witnesses Gyro's [[Steel Ball]]s and [[Spin]], and how they enabled him to stand up on his feet for a moment, he becomes determined to follow him and make him teach the Spin,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 3}}, p31</ref> then after discovering the Corpse Parts making his legs twitch, to acquire them.<br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
[[File:Johnny_Darkness.PNG|thumb|Dark determination.]]Johnny stubbornly follows his intentions of following Gyro then track the Corpse. Disregarding the risks or the consequences, Johnny focuses on his goal and puts it above anything else. Several times Johnny endured severe wounds in order to reach his goals, notably trying to get on his horse Slow Dancer which earned him many bruises and a wooden shard through the leg;<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 4}}, p10</ref> despite his repeated failures his determination at participating in the race didn't waver. Inversely, Johnny has no qualm being violent or killing his opponents to get the Corpse Parts. Gyro Zeppeli has mentioned that Johnny had "dark determination" in his eyes indicating a ruthlessness which would make Johnny able to kill in cold-blood.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 64}}, p14</ref> This amoral selfishness still extends to the interest of his loved ones and followed him during his whole life, demonstrated years after the ''Steel Ball Run'', as when his wife Rina was struck with the Rock Disease, Johnny then stole the Corpse to beg it to transfer the disease away from her, not caring who would receive it and suffer in her stead.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 22}}, p5</ref> Yet Johnny isn't completely amoral, for instance objecting to involve the defenceless Lucy Steel in their struggle for the Corpse<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 40}}, p33</ref> and ultimately taking the Rock Disease for himself to save his son.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 22}}, p11-12</ref><br />
[[File:What did you just say.jpg|left|thumb|204x204px|Shocked by [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|his father]] believing God had taken the wrong son.]]<br />
During Steel Ball Run race, Johnny was burdened by depression and a subsequent lack of confidence. Notably calling himself a useless person, Johnny's bleak outlook of life stemmed from his youth. During his childhood, Johnny was a timid yet kind child, adopting a wild mouse and calling it Danny. Though he was afraid of his harsh father George Joestar, he would try to live up to his expectations. Johnny idolized his older brother Nicholas but when he died, falling from a horse which was seemingly startled by Danny, Johnny became guilt-ridden, believing that his brother's death was his own fault and that he should have died instead. He then believed throughout the years that fate itself was taking revenge on him for his crime and that every misfortune he received was in fact deserved.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 42}}, p4-33</ref> It resulted in his obsession with the blessing of the Corpse which would reset his karma to a neutral state of "zero" as opposed to the "negative" state of his curse. It also explains Johnny's rampant lack of confidence and near constant bouts of panic<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 43}}, p10</ref><ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 79}}, p39-41</ref> as he thought that fate could at any moment take away his hope of acquiring the Corpse. When Johnny's father disowned him, Johnny shut himself off, creating a facade of conceitedness to hide the sadness this rejection caused him.<ref name=":0" /><br />
[[File:Johnny thinking about Gyro.png|thumb|223x223px|Johnny fondly remembering [[Gyro Zeppeli]].]]<br />
Johnny's perspective improved greatly upon meeting Gyro Zeppeli. Having met someone who gave him hope and was genuinely nice to him, Johnny felt grateful<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 86}}, p2</ref> for meeting the Italian executioner and treasured this relationship, at one point being willing to abandon the Corpse Parts he had to save his friend.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 48}}, p14</ref> Gyro repeatedly knocked Johnny out of his lack of confidence and helped him get the Corpse Parts, giving him assurance and optimism in life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
As reflected in the multiple ACTs of his Stand Tusk, the improvement was gradual, the key steps of his progress being Johnny discovering the Corpse (ACT 1),<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 20}}</ref> then standing up for himself against Soundman (ACT 2),<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 43}}, p50</ref> symbolically cleansing himself of his guilts against Axl Ro and being blessed by Jesus-Christ's apparition (ACT 3)<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 59}}, p6</ref> and finally acquiring the Corpse and regaining the use of his legs (ACT 4).<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 85}}, p52</ref> Although Gyro died, Johnny kept a good memory of everything that happened. If during the race, Johnny was uncaring of everyone else save himself and Gyro, only maintaining a polite but cold demeanour at best toward the people he met, Gyro's influence made Johnny slightly more friendly toward people, culminating in his marriage with Rina Higashikata.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 21}}, p44</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
In ''[[JoJolion]]'', a flashback shows that Johnny maintained that happiness during his life with Rina.<br />
<br />
===Author's comments=== <!--T:18--><br />
[[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] personally liked the Jonathan–[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Zeppeli]] relationship from ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and wanted to retell it again for a longer coming-of-age story.<br />
<br />
<!--T:19--><br />
He chose to make Johnny and Gyro around the same age so they could be less formal and more friendly than their original counterparts similar to the [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]-[[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]] relationship from ''[[Battle Tendency]]''. Gyro's random jokes and Johnny's use of his spinning nails to accomplish trivial tasks were included to reflect this concept.<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4791701704/atmarkjojo-22/ref=nosim/ 2007 Eureka issue]</ref><br />

Most often, Johnny channels the Spin by the use of his [[Stand]],''' Tusk'''; developed first with the power of [[Saint's Corpse|the Corpse's left hand,]] and further with Gyro's help. Its form varies, depending on the sort or style of Spin Johnny chooses to employ.<br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
*ACT1 is awakened in the [[Devil's Palm]] when the corpse part combines itself with Johnny's left hand, manifesting his Stand with the ability to spin his nails and fire them akin to bullets, and regrowing his nails in seconds.<br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
*ACT2 manifests when Johnny shoots a nail whilst incorporating the [[Spin#Golden Rectangle|Golden Rectangle]] in a fight against [[Sandman]]. Despite the longer regrow time, the nails possess more power and a new ability that lets the holes of the bullets follow the target for a small amount of time.<br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
*ACT3 is the final "base" form for Tusk and manifests when Johnny shoots himself with a Golden Rectangle-empowered nail, enabling him to transfer parts of his body through the holes to shoot from different directions. It was awakened by an advice from [[Jesus]] in a fight against [[Axl RO]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
*ACT4 manifests itself as a result of Johnny utilizing Slow Dancer's power combined with the golden rectangle, which enables Johnny to fire Golden Spin nail-bullets that have infinite rotation. ACT4 possesses the power to force open [[D4C Love Train]]'s dimensional wall, and trap anyone hit by it to a single spot indefinitely.<br />
<br />

==Relationships== <!--T:32--><br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
*[[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George Joestar I]]: Johnny had a complex relationship with his father. In one hand Johnny always sought his father's affection and approval. On the other hand, when George wondered if "God had taken the wrong son", Johnny was deeply saddened and chose to abandon his love for his father, shutting his heart. Johnny confessed to Valentine that he could not think of his own father in the same admiring way Valentine thought of his. Towards the end of the Steel Ball Run race, however, George shows up in the crowd and shows Johnny Nicholas' boots, reconciling with his son at last. Johnny named his son after George.<br />
*[[Nicholas Joestar]]: As his elder brother, Nicholas was a model to follow. Johnny admired him since his childhood and feels excessively guilty over his death, thinking that the Universe cursed him for it.<br />
*[[Minor Characters#Danny (Mouse)|Danny]]: While Jonathan and Danny the dog had a shared childhood, this mouse was only a temporary pet for Johnny. When Nicholas died, Johnny believed that Danny and thus him, were responsible for frightening the horse Nicholas was riding and causing his death. Johnny retains good memories of the mouse but also haunting ones, even summoning it when [[Civil War]] affects him.<br />
*[[Rina Higashikata]] : Johnny and Rina's relationship began after the race and persisted for several years. Both fell in love with each other soon after meeting and they became married, livng a happy life for a while. After she becomes ill, Johnny goes searching for the corpse parts as a cure. His love for Rina is so deep, he ends up sacrificing himself to save her and their son.<br />
*[[Minor Characters#George Joestar II|George Joestar II]]: Johnny loved his son deeply. When the [[Rock Disease]] bounced into him, {{SpoilerText|Part 8 Spoiler|Johnny sacrificed himself to save George and confided that he was happy to have him in his life.}}<br />
*[[Unnamed Characters#Johnny's Daughter|His daughter]]: Daughter he had with Rina. Only listed in the Joestar Family Tree.<br />
<br />
===Friends=== <!--T:34--><br />
<br />
<!--T:35--><br />
*[[Gyro Zeppeli]]: Johnny and Gyro are friends, partners in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]], and also apprentice and master in the art of the [[Spin]]. At first, Johnny's determination got Gyro's interest, leading Gyro to assist Johnny in mounting Slow Dancer before the race. After the first stage, Johnny wins the respect of Gyro, leading to Gyro making him his apprentice in the Spin. Over the course of the Steel Ball Run, this apprenticeship grows into a partnerhood, and then a deep friendship. Despite their opposing personalities causing regular clashes as to how to take on a difficult situation, Gyro and Johnny ultimately get along well and share many moments of friendship. Gyro notably likes to jest with Johnny and tells him bad jokes or miscellaneous songs that Johnny usually appreciates. Due to their regular battles, Johnny and Gyro fight well together, and see each other as valuable allies. Their friendship is such that either one is willing to put himself in danger for the other, and Johnny notably abandoned his Corpse Parts to save Gyro's life. In turn, Gyro often uses life-or-death situations as opportunities to help Johnny master the fundamentals of the Spin and evolve his Stand, [[Tusk]]. After Gyro's death, Johnny was devastated, a fact Valentine attempts to use to goad him into sparing him and giving up the Holy Corpse. Gyro stands by Johnny in spirit even after his death, as Johnny returns his corpse to the Zeppeli family in Italy. Gyro's continuous support helped Johnny get out of his depression and enabled him to begin anew. The relationship of the two has similarities to [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s relationship with [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Will]] or [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]'s relationship with [[Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli|Caesar]].<br />
*[[Lucy Steel]]: Johnny and Lucy are allies against Valentine, but do not interact with each other much. Despite being Jonathan and Erina's counterparts, they never develop a relationship, unlike their namesakes.<br />
*[[Mountain Tim]]: Mountain Tim was first suspicious of Johnny as [[Benjamin Boomboom]] tricked him into believing Johnny was killing competitors in the race, but both later became allies in the fight against the [[Boomboom Family]] and [[Oyecomova]]. Tim notably taught Johnny about the [[Devil's Palm]] and [[Stand]]s.<br />
<br />
===Rivals=== <!--T:36--><br />
<br />
<!--T:37--><br />
*[[Diego Brando]]: Johnny considers Diego a rival in his quest for the Corpse Parts. Due to Diego's own ruthlessness, Johnny won't hesitate to kill him if he gets in his way. At one point, Diego allies with Valentine to kill Johnny and Gyro, but it doesn't last. While their relationship is more positive than that of their counterparts, Jonathan and Dio, they are enemies all the same.<br />
*[[Hot Pants]]: Johnny considers Hot Pants a rival in his quest for the Corpse Parts. He realizes that she is a woman after Gyro kills [[Ringo Roadagain]], but doesn't reveal her true gender to Gyro out of respect for her privacy. After Hot Pants steals Johnny's Corpse Part yet leaves him a small part of the Spine, he is curious about Hot Pants motivations for acquiring it.<br />
*[[Sandman]]: Because Sandman didn't go after the [[Saint's Corpse]] and acted friendly with the duo, Johnny didn't see him as an enemy. Ultimately, Sandman allied with Valentine and tried to kill Johnny with Gyro and take the Corpse Parts, they thus became enemies. Still, Sandman was indifferent to Johnny, only seeing an internal struggle among the white men he considered enemies that he could exploit.<br />
<br />
===Enemies=== <!--T:38--><br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
*[[Funny Valentine]]: As both tried to gather the [[Saint's Corpse]], Johnny and Valentine were enemies, but didn't interact much until their single fight. Because of his selfish motive, Valentine saw Johnny as unworthy of the Corpse and tried to kill him, though he treaded carefully with Johnny since [[Tusk]] was partly immune to his [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]].<br />
*[[Diego Brando (Parallel World)]]: As this version of Diego was recruited by Funny Valentine to take the Saint's Corpse from Johnny, it was only natural that the two were enemies. Diego was wary of [[Tusk]], which could move partially in his stopped time, and likewise, Johnny learned of [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]'s power and also was wary of it.<br />
*[[Dr. Ferdinand]]: Dr. Ferdinand was an assassin and Stand-user hired by President Funny Valentine to murder Johnny and Gyro and gather the Corpse Parts. Using his Stand, [[Scary Monsters]], Ferdinand attempts to transform Johnny and Gyro into dinosaurs bound to his will, and uses a similarly-transformed [[Diego Brando]] as a means to that end. <br />
*[[Boomboom Family|The Boomboom Family]]: A family group of three Stand-users, Andre, Benjamin, and L. A. Boomboom, who use their talents to murder competitors in the Steel Ball Run, eventually targeting Johnny and Gyro as well. After a failed attempt to frame Johnny for the murder of several other competitors, they attempt to assassinate Johnny, Gyro, and [[Mountain Tim]] directly, failing when Johnny first develops his Stand, Tusk.<br />
*[[Oyecomova]]: Oyecomova is a {{W|Naples|Neapolitan}} assassin and terrorist who once encountered Gyro Zeppeli before he developed his Stand, [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]. He attempted to use this ability to assassinate Gyro, and Johnny in the process, but proved no match for their combined skills in the [[Spin]].<br />
*[[Ringo Roadagain]]: A duelist working for Funny Valentine, Ringo Roadagain holds the philosophy that a true man must gamble his life against others in order to prove his worth. He notes that Johnny has the "dark determination" to kill if need be and thus would have a chance against him. Nevertheless, after incapacitating Johnny, he is defeated by Gyro.<br />

{{Nihongo|'''Weather Report'''|ウェザー・リポート|Wezā Ripōto}}, real name {{nihongo4|'''Wes Bluemarine'''|ウェス・ブルーマリン|Wesu Burūmarin}}, born {{nihongo|'''Domenico Pucci'''|ドメニコ・プッチ|Domeniko Putchi}}, is a major ally featured in the 6th part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
An amnesiac at his introduction, Weather Report is a fellow inmate who seeks his memory and allies himself with [[Jolyne Cujoh]]. It is revealed that he is [[Enrico Pucci]]'s {{W|Fraternal twins|fraternal twin}} brother. Weather is a [[Stand]] User capable of controlling the surrounding atmosphere through his ability, which is also named [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Weather Report is a man of above-average height and medium to athletic build.<br />
<br />
He commonly wears a light, flat-topped buffalo hat<ref name="SOC68">''SO Chapter 68: [[SO Chapter 68|Burn Dragon's Dream, Part 2]]''</ref> (a fur hat with two short horns at its front), and a dark bodysuit.<br />
<br />
Following Pucci's fusion with [[The Green Baby]], Weather is shown to have a star-shaped [[Joestar Birthmark|Joestar birthmark]] appear on his left shoulder (imitating Pucci's development of the same birthmark), foreshadowing his familial relation to Pucci.<ref>SO Chapter 103: [[SO Chapter 103|Three Men in the Hospital]]</ref><br />

==Personality==<br />
While deprived of his memories, Weather was mellow and eccentric. He would boldly stand a few inches next to [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]]'s face to get her attention rather than call her name and usually walks on his toes. He was trustworthy and compassionate, rescuing those in need without caring for his own safety. Unless someone he knew was in danger, Weather hardly panicked. Weather was also described as having a strong sense of justice, describing the worst injustice as "evil that does not know it is evil".<br />
<br />
Upon the return of his memories, he reveals his sinister colors. While still retaining his previous passion for his friends, he is not afraid to flaunt his powers for his own amusement. Weather smiles when he shocks unsuspecting victims or even skips in joy amongst his hazardous rainbows, his newer personality frightening even Anasui. His melancholy over his memories soon consumes him and drives him to settle things with his twin brother.<br />
<br />
According to Emporio, Weather Report likes to read TV guides but doesn't actually watch television.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{See also|Weather Report (Stand)|Heavy Weather|label 1 =Weather Report|label 2 =Heavy Weather}}<br />
Weather Report's homonymous [[Stand]] affords him a great degree of control over the weather, and/or the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
He later develops Heavy Weather, representing the release of his basic Stand's full power; fostering a particular, bizarre delusion in all within its range.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:wes & perla love.png|thumb|left|Wes & Perla's love]][[File:ghost attack.png|thumb|Wes is attacked by the Ku Klux Klan]]<br />
Weather was originally born as "Domenico Pucci" to the wealthy Pucci family, the younger of mixed fraternal twins. He was stolen from the clinic nursery by a woman whose own baby had died the same day, soon after birth. In his teenage years, he worked as a juice delivery boy. One fateful day, he stopped a thief from stealing [[Perla Pucci]]'s bag and within two week's time, the two began dating. [[Enrico Pucci]], discovering that Weather was, in fact, his twin brother, sought to separate them in a manner that would least harm his sister. However, the "private detective agency" he used to accomplish this was actually run by the {{W|Ku Klux Klan|KKK}}, who subsequently looked into Weather's family history and found that his "mother" had married an African American man. When the KKK members saw Perla give Weather a goodnight kiss, they attacked the pair and ultimately hanged Weather from a tree to die. Perla cut him down and, not realizing he still had a faint pulse, jumped off the nearby cliff to her death.<br />
<br />
[[File:pucci steals wes memory.png|thumb|Pucci steals Wes' memory]]<br />
Not long after, when Pucci was stabbed by the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], Weather gained a Stand ability on his own as well. After regaining consciousness, he sought out the head of the "private detective agency" for information on Pucci. Weather was filled with rage at both himself and the world, but his Stand made it impossible for him to kill himself. He tried jumping off a cliff, but winds blew him back to the cliff side. He tried drowning himself, but the waves pushed him back to the shore. He even tried shooting himself, but the gun chamber filled with water and refused to work. On the fourth day after his regained consciousness, snails began to rain from the sky as a result of his Stand. Pucci then confronted Weather, revealed that they were brothers, and removed Weather's memory disc using [[Whitesnake]].<br />
<br />
Weather Report was imprisoned in [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] for attempted murder and got to meet [[Emporio Alniño]] and [[Narciso Anasui]].<br />
<br />
===Stone Ocean===<br />
Weather Report first appears in the ghost music room looking at [[Emporio Alniño]] and [[Ermes Costello]]'s conversation about investigating [[Whitesnake]] alongside [[Narciso Anasui]], but doesn't intervene.<br />
<br />
====Operation Savage Garden====<br />
[[File:jolyne meets wr.png|thumb|left|Jolyne meets Weather Report]]<br />
Weather is formally introduced to [[Jolyne Cujoh]] by [[Emporio Alniño]] as an amnesiac whose memory was stolen by the master of [[Whitesnake]]. Meeting her in the music room, he is willing to help her deliver [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s Stand [[DISC]] to the [[Speedwagon Foundation]]. Using his Stand [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]], Weather Report makes it wind and rain near a piano, knocking pens onto the keys of a piano and creating a small puddle. The sound makes an [[Lang Rangler|enemy]] peek and Weather confirms his presence by using the puddle as a mirror to look behind the corner. The trio thus run to the corridors and seemingly elude the enemy by hiding in a jacket. In there, Weather agrees to go to the factory's entrance first.<br />
[[File:wr vs lang.png|thumb|Weather Report vs Lang]]<br />
Weather then hears Jolyne's call and help and runs to her side, seeing her floating because of [[Lang Rangler]]'s ability [[Jumpin' Jack Flash]]. Using special gauntlets, Lang shoots nuts and bolts at Weather, who creates atmospheric layers to deflect the projectiles and set Lang's arm on fire when he tries to punch him. Lang cancels his power but triggers an alarm and flees. To catch up, Weather grabs Jolyne who is still floating and propels himself using wind to the factory.<br />
[[File:cloud suits.png|thumb|left|Cloud suits to preserve the air around them]]<br />
In the factory, Jolyne begins to feel the effects of the decompression and needs to urinate, to her embarrassment. Weather creates a cloud for her to hide while she relieves herself. On a graver note, they realise that the very air they touch is going away from them. The decompression also forces their blood out. At this moment, Lang shoots scraps at them but [[Stone Free]] deflects them. To keep some air near them, Weather Report makes a suit of cloud for the both of them but the heroes must find and defeat the enemy before their oxygen supplies run out. Unfortunately, Lang has hidden somewhere in the factory.<br />
<br />
Weather Report tries to get away from Jolyne to be free of the antigravity, using some drum barrels as a landmark. Lang is revealed to be behind the heroes and shoots with his gauntlets. Weather is wounded in the leg. Jolyne tries to cover Weather, but Lang shoots a drum barrel. It is pierced and the flowing air violently propels it toward Weather and the suit is damaged on impact. Weather is also sent back in Jolyne's range. Lang pushes his advantage and throws a couple of rats at Jolyne; they explode and the blood covers her suit, blinding her. Lang reloads and shoots at Jolyne, but she deploys her strings to block the projectiles and ties Lang, pulling him in the deadly gravityless environment. Even though Lang destroys Jolyne's suit with a makeshift grenade, Weather sacrifices his suit to give Jolyne time. Lang cancels his [[Jumpin' Jack Flash]] but the returning air flow allows pushes Lang back in [[Stone Free]]'s range. Stone Free pummels Lang, defeating him.<br />
[[File:rain of frogs.png|thumb|Weather makes it rain frogs]]<br />
Weather is out of commission and Jolyne hides her behind some barrels for the moment. However, when she arrives in the courtyard, a guard controlled by [[Whitesnake]] shoots her. To save Jolyne, Weather has no choice but to summon a rain of poisonous jungle frogs. It ultimately helps Jolyne deliver the Stand DISC to the Speedwagon Foundation. Weather Report is forund injured and is brought to the infirmary.<br />
<br />
==== Pucci's Awakening ====<br />
Still recovering, Weather Report serves as valuable back up for [[Foo Fighters|F.F.]], causing the sky to rain if she is too dehydrated. However, Pucci completes his current objective of seizing [[The Green Baby]] and kills F.F. then leaves the prison. Weather gains a [[Joestar Birthmark]] alongside Pucci though he doesn't know why. He joins [[Narciso Anasui|Anasui]] -at the latter's insistence- in their search for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
==== Bohemian Rhapsody ====<br />
[[File:wr joestar birthmark.png|thumb|left|Weather somehow acquires the Joestar Birthmark]]<br />
Weather and Anasui are pursued by the police and reach a motel where Weather helps an old man get up after he trips and drops his groceries. Hiding in the bathrooms, Weather is momentarily confused by the new sinks because they have no spigot. Anasui asks Weather Report to remember who he is. He's suspicious after seeing the [[Joestar Birthmark]] on his neck, which he noticed was also present on [[The Green Baby]], [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], and [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]. Weather is determined to defeat [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]], who he believes is his enemy. However, they have to escape the area which is difficult with cop cars surrounding them. Anasui condemns Weather for not stealing a car earlier, but Weather says it's too risky. Instead, he uses his [[Weather Report (Stand)|Stand]] to clear the clouds above the old man he rescued earlier, causing a ray of light to shine on him. The pain in the old man's knee goes away, and he decides to give the two a ride in the back of his truck.<br />
<br />
On the truck, Weather senses her traveling north, so they decide to go that way as well. Suddenly Anasui notice a jarring absence of illustrated characters on a Disney's guidebook and panels, then notices something scuttling near them Thinking it's an enemy, he uses [[Diver Down]] to grab whatever is hiding inside it, which he discovers is [[Bohemian Rhapsody|Pinocchio]]. The two understand that [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] has sent [[Stand]] users against them. Anasui tries to interrogate Pinocchio, but the fictional character doesn't know anything about the enemy and digresses on the other fictional characters inside the truck. Weather suddenly loses trace of Anasui only to find him under the wheels of the truck. The truck crashes, with Weather making an airbag with the atmosphere to cushion everyone. Anasui finds himself back in his body and Weather suggest to defeat the [[Ungalo|user]] of [[Bohemian Rhapsody]]. Again, Weather loses traces of Anasui.<br />
[[File:wr & van gogh.png|thumb|Weather will share Van Gogh's fate]]<br />
Looking for [[Narciso Anasui|Anasui]], Weather rebukes a bearded man with a pipe who presents himself as the portrait of Van Gogh after he cut off his own ear. Weather Report now finds himself under [[Bohemian Rhapsody]]'s influence. Weather feels that the [[Ungalo|enemy Stand user]] is rapidly moving North, and tries to think about how to defeat him. Exasperated by Van Gogh, he tries to punch him, but stops when he sees that he has paintbrushes in his hand. The portrait, describing Van Gogh's life, ominously announces that Weather is now in the story of the famous painter, who ended up shooting himself. A bullet bursts out of a paintbrush, hitting Weather in the head, and a second mortal bullet to the head is imminent. Panicking, Weather uses his [[Stand]] to block the highway heading North only to realize the enemy is on a plane faster than any meteological phenomomenon. The situation seems desperate. The pistol with which Van Gogh shot himself is before Weather, who nervously warns the portrait to stay away from it. He tries to run away, but [[Narciso Anasui|Anasui]], filled with rocks, crashes against him and both trip. The pistol shoots a bullet, blowing Weather's head off, while Anasui begins to melt, his hand melting inside his mouth and drowning him. Both the goats and Van Gogh gloat, but Weather suddenly grabs the portrait. <br />
<br />
Weather then forces Van Gogh to create a new character, Putback the hero who puts all the fictional characters back in their place. [[Bohemian Rhapsody]]'s power is cancelled and [[Ungalo]] loses his will to live.<br />
<br />
==== Heavy Weather ====<br />
[[File:weather gains memories back.png|left|thumb|Weather gains his memories back]]<br />
Weather Report and [[Narciso Anasui]] reach the hospital of Orlando where Weather feels that Pucci is close. Suddenly, the [[Stand]] [[Under World]] comes to him and gives him back his memories.<br />
<br />
Weather's memory [[DISC|disc]] was returned to him by [[Donatello Versus]]' [[Under World]]. Weather kneels from the shock of recovering his memories, sitting in a seat reserved for hospital patients. When a patient complains about it and a nurse tells him to get out of the seat, Weather is a changed man, having become extremely aggressive. He drowns the nurse, filling his corpse with so much water he becomes a bloated cadaver. Weather leaves the hospital accompanied by a flabbergasted [[Narciso Anasui|Anasui]], and briefly announces his intention of killing his brother, confusing Anasui even more. In the streets, Weather indulges himself in another act of villainy by forcing two women to massage him by running electricity through them.<br />
<br />
[[File:Weatherfightspucci.png|thumb|Weather vs. Pucci]]<br />
The snail outbreak has begun to spread all over Orlando. Weather and [[Narciso Anasui|Anasui]] witness the catastrophe, and Anasui, sure that Weather is somehow responsible, demands answers. However, Weather suddenly asks Anasui to kill him, and announces that he will settle his score with [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]], saying that the priest is now near them. Although [[Diver Down]] and [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]] scan the surroundings, Pucci is nowhere to be seen. Anasui and Weather then see a suspicious empty car and approach it. Suddenly, Weather's right leg is cut off, and Pucci emerges from a nearby mass of snails, somehow immune to [[Heavy Weather]]. When Anasui tries to rush toward Pucci to attack him, several snails lunge toward him, infecting him as well. Pucci declares himself victorious and turns his back to the duo, but Weather suddenly jumps to him, his right leg replaced with that of [[Diver Down]]. A close quarter fight ensues, but [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]] is more powerful and its ability to manipulate gusts of winds violently propel Pucci toward a car. Weather closes in and uses a karate chop on Pucci, but the priest decides to reflect the sun's rays with a wing mirror. Anasui's transformation drastically accelerate, but Diver Down is disabled, crippling Weather again.<br />
<br />
[[File:pucci almost dies.png|thumb|left|Weather almost wins]]<br />
Pucci then exposes the power subliminal messages has on the human mind. Explaining that [[Heavy Weather]] modifies the atmosphere into influencing humans so that they believe they are transforming into snails, the human mind makes the transformation happen. However, since Heavy Weather is founded on sunlight, Pucci simply blinded himself, compensating with his mystic sense to detect Weather. Pucci cuts off Weather's remaining leg, shocking Anasui who attacks the priest. Angry, Pucci punches Anasui with [[Whitesnake]] and almost finishes him off. However, Pucci suddenly impales his foot on an ice spike, and finds himself unable to move without risking impalement. Weather used his [[Stand]] to freeze his blood which has splattered all over the place and trap Pucci in a maze of spikes, cornering him. Weather crawls toward Pucci to attack him while he's immobilized, but Pucci plunges Whitesnake's hand into Anasui's head to brainwash him, forcing him to reveal the positions of the spikes and escape. However, Anasui notices too late that a spike has formed on Pucci's chest, menacing to impale the latter's head. Moreover, Weather uses the air pressure to disequilibrate him, but Pucci is determined to avoid the attack; he breaks several spikes, throwing them at Weather in the hopes that Weather tries to protect himself and weakens his attack. However, Weather calmly suffers being impaled by the spikes thanks to his death wish, only freezing the blood further to tie Pucci. Now in range, [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]] punches Pucci and immobilizes him to the ground. Pucci tries to beg Weather, but he shuts him up, declaring that Pucci is an evil oblivious of his evilness, and goes for a finishing punch.<br />
<br />
[[File:weather death.png|thumb|Weather is killed]]<br />
Suddenly, a car crashes next to them, causing chaos and separating the twin brothers. It was [[Donatello Versus|Versus]], who rode alongside [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] and [[Emporio Alniño|Emporio]] but crashed, unable to control the car after Weather unwittingly created a cloud of dust. Jolyne feels that Pucci is nearby, but the priest has already punched through Weather's chest, supposedly aided by [[Fate]]. In his last moments, he was able to wrestle his Stand disc away from Pucci, a gift he left for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
His vengeance was ultimately delivered when Emporio used Weather's Stand to defeat Pucci. In the alternate universe, when [[Irene]] and [[Annakiss]] finally manage to start up their car, with Ermes and Emporio in tow, an alternate Weather is shown as a hitchhiker and joins the group shortly after.<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
[[File:WeatherReportStageHazard.jpg|thumb|Weather Report sending out his frog attack]]<br />
Weather Report appears in ''All Star Battle'' as part of the stage hazard in the Green Dolphin Street Prison stage. After one of the players is knocked into the hazard indication area, Weather will be seen injured and sitting in the background behind the gate of the courtyard, conjuring clouds shortly before the stage begins raining frogs (replicating the events from the ''[[Flash Flood Warning]]'' chapters in ''Part 6''). The frogs will inflict poison status to anyone struck, temporarily turning their stamina bar purple as they suffer a gradual loss of health. (This is the only way to contract poison in the game, aside from [[Pannacotta Fugo]]'s Homicidal Virus).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
Weather Report makes his first playable appearance in ''Eyes of Heaven''. He was confirmed for the game alongside [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]], and [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]].<br />
<br />
As a Stand User, Weather is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle. He may trap larger stage objects with lightning to shock and paralyze opponents, not unlike characters of the [[Ripple]] Style.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Weather Report...''': Weather Report generates white clouds around himself. If the Style Action button is held, he will charge his Stand's power to create additional effects across 3 different stages.<br />
**'''Atmospheric Layer''': The first stage of Weather Report. The white clouds around Weather will deflect projectiles and catch opponents on fire via friction if they attack him. The clouds will deactivate if Weather is knocked down.<br />
**'''Who said you could touch me!?''': The second stage of Weather Report. The white clouds around Weather become dark and stormy. Every time Weather attacks with Normal Attacks, they will shock his targets with lightning for additional damage, increasing the effective damage of his combos.<br />
**'''Flash Flood Warning''': The third and final stage of Weather Report. The storm clouds around Weather now generate a small gale around him. Poisonous frogs will begin raining in various areas of the stage close to his opponents in two intervals, poisoning both them and Weather's partner if they come into contact. The in-game Command List erroneously gives this stage the same description as "Who said you could touch me!?".<br />
**'''Weather Report manipulates weather.''': This Style Action can only be performed when Weather is down. He uses his Stand to summon the rain of poisonous frogs without needing to activate "Flash Flood Warning". This consumes his Style Action and places it on cooldown. Despite being on the floor, Weather is open to attacks during the ability that can interrupt him.<br />
*'''Dry out and stiffen up!''': Weather flings his blood onto the floor and creates two puddles as traps. If an opponent steps on the blood, it freezes and becomes spikes to damage them.<br />
*'''280&nbsp;km/hr winds!''': Weather has his Stand generate a tornado at opponents' feet, rapidly damaging them and sending them spiralling high into the air. This skill will not succeed if Weather is too far, or if his target is across gaps (i.e. the El Cairo Rooftops stage).<br />
*'''This will surely come in handy.''': Weather generates white clouds around his partner, if they are within range. The clouds will deflect projectiles and catch opponents on fire via friction if the partner is attacked. The clouds will deactivate if they are knocked down.<br />
*'''The Devil's Rainbow! It's Heavy Weather!''': Weather Report temporarily reverts back into Heavy Weather. While active, Heavy Weather will generate small rainbows around himself and various stage objects. If an opponent or Heavy Weather's partner touches the rainbows, they will be transformed into a snail, leaving them unable to perform any action aside from slithering at a slow speed, meaning they are completely helpless and vulnerable. Additionally, an opponent can be turned into a snail if a transformed individual touches them. The only way to interrupt Heavy Weather's ability is for him to be hit by a DHA. Characters that are blind are immune to Heavy Weather's effect: [[Wamuu]] while his "Now I will shut out the light, and with this horn see only the wind!" skill is active, [[N'Doul]], and Pucci with [[Whitesnake]] (due to Whitesnake's ability to remove his eyesight).<br />
*'''EX - Dry out and stiffen up!''': Weather creates 3 blood puddles and gains super armor until all of the puddles land.<br />
*'''EX - 280&nbsp;km/hr winds!''': The skill executes quicker and lands more hits, dealing more damage and sending opponents even higher into the air.<br />
<br />
====JoJolities====<br />
<br />
*'''Flash Flood Warning''': Weather must charge his Style Action until it reaches the "Flash Flood Warning" stage. (200 Points)<br />
*'''I'll suck it up in my clouds.''': Weather must use "This will surely come in handy." (200 Points)<br />
*'''It just needs to be simple...and reliable...''': Weather must trap opponents using "Dry out and stiffen up!" 3 times. (300 Points)<br />
*'''This might be able to help people heal their sprains and bad backs...''': Heavy Weather must turn an opponent into a snail. (500 Points)<br />
*'''The only thing I live for is getting my revenge on that scumbag!''': Heavy Weather must Retire an opponent while they are a snail. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
====Dual Heat Attacks====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo - Cloud Suit''': Weather activates his Stand's cloud suit, using oxygen to jet him into the opponent and spear them into the air. He then starts tackling them while flying past multiple times, juggling them in the process, before landing and separating from his Stand. Getting up, he ends the attack by summoning a large storm cloud to strike his downed target with bright, powerful lightning.<br />
*'''With [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] - The momentum's on our side!''': [[Stone Free]] assaults the opponent as Weather Report creates an opposing gale that keeps the opponent in place. Stone Free's fists ultimately overpower the gale and the target is sent flying into Weather Report's Stand, setting them on fire via friction.<br />
<br />
====Tournament====<br />
He is paired with [[Yoshikage Kira|"Kosaku Kawajiri"]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, defeating Pucci and [[Akira Otoishi]] in the first round but eliminated by [[Giorno Giovanna]] and [[Guido Mista]] in the second.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Jobin Higashikata'''|東方 常敏|Higashikata Jōbin}} is a major antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[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 mysterious [[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 didn't have these grooves at all but upon reaching sixteen, two of the grooves had mysteriously formed. The grooves are reduced to one on each side in subsequent appearances. 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 barette.<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#Part VIII|Higashikata Family crest]]. Jobin also wears a small, weaved necklace.<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 />

<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 />
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.<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. 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>JJL Chapter 72, [[JJL Chapter 72|Poor Tom and Ozone Baby, Part 1]]</ref><br />
<br />
Jobin maintains a quiet sense of humor and is fond of quoting {{W|Mitsuo Aida}}. He is also 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. In the context of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s personality test,<ref>JJL Chapter 7: ''[[JJL Chapter 7|Josuke, Go to the Higashikata Family]]''</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>JJL Chapter 37: ''[[JJL Chapter 37|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (4)]]''</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. 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.<br />
<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. This keeps true to the trend of ordinary sibling interaction. Jobin however, holds his [[Kaato Higashikata|mother]] in high regard and exhibits a submissive and obedient behavior around her, showing fear of upsetting her. He also later shows a darker and manipulative side to his personality, using his father's trust to his advantage so he can organize trades for the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
Jobin desires the power of the [[Locacaca]], wishing to obtain it to rid his family of the Higashikata curse. 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. Despite this cold-hearted behavior and disregard for innocent life, Jobin displays tactical restraint; deciding against murdering [[Yasuho Hirose]] because it would raise his family's suspicions. He unconditionally loves his son, risking his life to save Tsurugi and betraying [[Poor Tom]] in the process for attacking him.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Speed King}}<br />
<br />
Like the other members of his family, Jobin possesses a Stand, referred to as Speed King. Most of its power remains unobserved, but has been noted to be 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 />
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>JJL Chapter 23: ''[[JJL Chapter 23|Paper Moon Deception (1)]]'' 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, so that he would forget whatever happened the last day. Two of his seniors at a local scouting movement he was part of were bullying him and eventually, the bullies forced him to steal a set of [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]]'s underwear and take a 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 force him to set fire on the denouncer's house, but Jobin refused to commit arson. Furious, the bully threatened to burn Jobin's face; 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 disabled 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.<br />
<br />
Since then, Jobin had taken Kaato's words to heart and became more assertive.<br />
<br />
Jobin met the [[Rock Human|Rock Humans]] 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, and as Jobin cleans it up, Jobin sees his father and share a happy welcoming back. He formally meets Josuke and offers him several gifts as a welcome to the family, including a prized {{W|Dorcus titanus|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 spiky 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 some souvenirs.<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 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 {{W|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 choose 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 the 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 />
====[[Poor Tom and Ozon Baby (story arc)|Poor Tom and Ozon Baby]]====<br />
[[File:ozon baby attacks jobin.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin & Tsurugi are attacked by Ozon Baby]]<br />
Jobin receives a phone call from a certain "[[Poor Tom]]", who asks him to meet 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 indiscrimately attack anyone in its range through its air pressure power. 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 retreived, Jobin takes the real Locacaca branch. Afterwards, Jobin is diguised 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 victory over Josuke and the plant appraiser.<br />
<br />
====The Harvest Approaches====<br />
[[File:jobin hides locacaca.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin hides the Locacaca]]<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 he meet with [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], who tells him that a man named [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] also 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 has inadvertently leaked the location of the Locacaca to Ojiro who covets the fruits, and 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), believing the two to be dead. However, 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 then proceeds to follow Ojiro to his girlfriend's apartment, mercilessly eliminate both Ojiro and Makorin using [[Speed King]], and steal back the New Locacaca.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<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 hold of and grown the new [[Locacaca]] and claims 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 and tells them to prepare themselves for the future. Jobin covers Norisuke with a tarp and expects victory, but he then sees that Paisley Park's phone has been moved near an electrical outlet, allowing the Stand to escape. Jobin crushes the phone. He reveals to them 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 that although [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] is knocked out, he is not going to kill his father. <br />
<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 currently hiding under the bedsheets. The head doctor disappears and Jobin only finds a damaged hair spray that bursts under the damage Speed King caused it, 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, letting the potted plant rolling towards the door to the garage.<br />

I've been told.<br />
<br />
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. Those two, and nothing more.[...] And now, the Higashikata Family is in the process of becoming even stronger. <br />
<br />
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. Because we always get our hands on strength. Tsurugi understands that. I can tell.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Okay, listen closely... heat always flows from where the temperature is higher to where it's lower. 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. Do you understand what I've said?|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}}}<br />

{{nihongo|'''Jobin Higashikata'''|東方 常敏|Higashikata Jōbin}} is a major antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[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 mysterious [[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 didn't have these grooves at all but upon reaching sixteen, two of the grooves had mysteriously formed. The grooves are reduced to one on each side in subsequent appearances. 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 barette.<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#Part VIII|Higashikata Family crest]]. Jobin also wears a small, weaved necklace.<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 />

{{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 />
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.<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. 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>JJL Chapter 72, [[JJL Chapter 72|Poor Tom and Ozone Baby, Part 1]]</ref><br />

Jobin maintains a quiet sense of humor and is fond of quoting {{W|Mitsuo Aida}}. He is also 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. In the context of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s personality test,<ref>JJL Chapter 7: ''[[JJL Chapter 7|Josuke, Go to the Higashikata Family]]''</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>JJL Chapter 37: ''[[JJL Chapter 37|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (4)]]''</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. 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.<br />
<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. This keeps true to the trend of ordinary sibling interaction. Jobin however, holds his [[Kaato Higashikata|mother]] in high regard and exhibits a submissive and obedient behavior around her, showing fear of upsetting her. He also later shows a darker and manipulative side to his personality, using his father's trust to his advantage so he can organize trades for the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
Jobin desires the power of the [[Locacaca]], wishing to obtain it to rid his family of the Higashikata curse. 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. Despite this cold-hearted behavior and disregard for innocent life, Jobin displays tactical restraint; deciding against murdering [[Yasuho Hirose]] because it would raise his family's suspicions. He unconditionally loves his son, risking his life to save Tsurugi and betraying [[Poor Tom]] in the process for attacking him.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Speed King}}<br />
<br />
Like the other members of his family, Jobin possesses a Stand, referred to as Speed King. Most of its power remains unobserved, but has been noted to be 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 />
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>JJL Chapter 23: ''[[JJL Chapter 23|Paper Moon Deception (1)]]'' 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, so that he would forget whatever happened the last day. Two of his seniors at a local scouting movement he was part of were bullying him and eventually, the bullies forced him to steal a set of [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]]'s underwear and take a 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 force him to set fire on the denouncer's house, but Jobin refused to commit arson. Furious, the bully threatened to burn Jobin's face; 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 disabled 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.<br />
<br />
Since then, Jobin had taken Kaato's words to heart and became more assertive.<br />
<br />
Jobin met the [[Rock Human|Rock Humans]] 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 />
[[File:josuke meets jobin.png|thumb|left|Jobin formally meets Josuke]]<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] first encounterz Jobin in the Higashikata Fruit Parlor after the events surrounding [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]]. Josuke spills some ice cream on his foot, and as Jobin cleans it up, Jobin sees his father and share a happy welcoming back. He formally meets Josuke and offers him several gifts as a welcome to the family, including a prized {{W|Dorcus titanus|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 spiky 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 some souvenirs.<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 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 {{W|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 choose 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 the 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 />
====[[Poor Tom and Ozon Baby (story arc)|Poor Tom and Ozon Baby]]====<br />
[[File:ozon baby attacks jobin.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin & Tsurugi are attacked by Ozon Baby]]<br />
Jobin receives a phone call from a certain "[[Poor Tom]]", who asks him to meet 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 indiscrimately attack anyone in its range through its air pressure power. 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 retreived, Jobin takes the real Locacaca branch. Afterwards, Jobin is diguised 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 victory over Josuke and the plant appraiser.<br />
<br />
====The Harvest Approaches====<br />
[[File:jobin hides locacaca.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin hides the Locacaca]]<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 he meet with [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], who tells him that a man named [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] also 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 has inadvertently leaked the location of the Locacaca to Ojiro who covets the fruits, and 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), believing the two to be dead. However, 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 then proceeds to follow Ojiro to his girlfriend's apartment, mercilessly eliminate both Ojiro and Makorin using [[Speed King]], and steal back the New Locacaca.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<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. 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 hold of and grown the new [[Locacaca]] and claims 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 and tells them to prepare themselves for the future. Jobin covers Norisuke with a tarp and expects victory, but he then sees that Paisley Park's phone has been moved near an electrical outlet, allowing the Stand to escape. Jobin crushes the phone. He reveals to them 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 that although [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] is knocked out, he is not going to kill his father. 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 currently hiding under the bedsheets.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Jobin Higashikata'''|東方 常敏|Higashikata Jōbin}} is a major antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[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 mysterious [[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 didn't have these grooves at all but upon reaching sixteen, two of the grooves had mysteriously formed. The grooves are reduced to one on each side in subsequent appearances. 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 barette.<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#Part VIII|Higashikata Family crest]]. Jobin also wears a small, weaved necklace.<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 />

<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 />
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.<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. 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>JJL Chapter 72, [[JJL Chapter 72|Poor Tom and Ozone Baby, Part 1]]</ref><br />
<br />
Jobin maintains a quiet sense of humor and is fond of quoting {{W|Mitsuo Aida}}. He is also 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. In the context of [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]]'s personality test,<ref>JJL Chapter 7: ''[[JJL Chapter 7|Josuke, Go to the Higashikata Family]]''</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>JJL Chapter 37: ''[[JJL Chapter 37|Every Day Is a Summer Vacation (4)]]''</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. 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.<br />
<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. This keeps true to the trend of ordinary sibling interaction. Jobin however, holds his [[Kaato Higashikata|mother]] in high regard and exhibits a submissive and obedient behavior around her, showing fear of upsetting her. He also later shows a darker and manipulative side to his personality, using his father's trust to his advantage so he can organize trades for the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
Jobin desires the power of the [[Locacaca]], wishing to obtain it to rid his family of the Higashikata curse. 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. Despite this cold-hearted behavior and disregard for innocent life, Jobin displays tactical restraint; deciding against murdering [[Yasuho Hirose]] because it would raise his family's suspicions. He unconditionally loves his son, risking his life to save Tsurugi and betraying [[Poor Tom]] in the process for attacking him.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Speed King}}<br />
<br />
Like the other members of his family, Jobin possesses a Stand, referred to as Speed King. Most of its power remains unobserved, but has been noted to be 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 />
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>JJL Chapter 23: ''[[JJL Chapter 23|Paper Moon Deception (1)]]'' 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, so that he would forget whatever happened the last day. Two of his seniors at a local scouting movement he was part of were bullying him and eventually, the bullies forced him to steal a set of [[Kaato Higashikata|Kaato]]'s underwear and take a 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 force him to set fire on the denouncer's house, but Jobin refused to commit arson. Furious, the bully threatened to burn Jobin's face; 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 disabled 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.<br />
<br />
Since then, Jobin had taken Kaato's words to heart and became more assertive.<br />
<br />
Jobin met the [[Rock Human|Rock Humans]] 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 />
[[File:josuke meets jobin.png|thumb|left|Jobin formally meets Josuke]]<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] first encounterz Jobin in the Higashikata Fruit Parlor after the events surrounding [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama|Yotsuyu]]. Josuke spills some ice cream on his foot, and as Jobin cleans it up, Jobin sees his father and share a happy welcoming back. He formally meets Josuke and offers him several gifts as a welcome to the family, including a prized {{W|Dorcus titanus|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 spiky 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 some souvenirs.<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 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 {{W|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 choose 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 the 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 />
====[[Poor Tom and Ozon Baby (story arc)|Poor Tom and Ozon Baby]]====<br />
[[File:ozon baby attacks jobin.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin & Tsurugi are attacked by Ozon Baby]]<br />
Jobin receives a phone call from a certain "[[Poor Tom]]", who asks him to meet 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 indiscrimately attack anyone in its range through its air pressure power. 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 retreived, Jobin takes the real Locacaca branch. Afterwards, Jobin is diguised 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 victory over Josuke and the plant appraiser.<br />
<br />
====The Harvest Approaches====<br />
[[File:jobin hides locacaca.jpg|thumb|left|Jobin hides the Locacaca]]<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 he meet with [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]], who tells him that a man named [[Ojiro Sasame|Ojiro]] also 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 has inadvertently leaked the location of the Locacaca to Ojiro who covets the fruits, and 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), believing the two to be dead. However, 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 then proceeds to follow Ojiro to his girlfriend's apartment, mercilessly eliminate both Ojiro and Makorin using [[Speed King]], and steal back the New Locacaca.<br />
<br />
====[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]====<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. 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 hold of and grown the new [[Locacaca]] and claims 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 and tells them to prepare themselves for the future. Jobin covers Norisuke with a tarp and expects victory, but he then sees that Paisley Park's phone has been moved near an electrical outlet, allowing the Stand to escape. Jobin crushes the phone. He reveals to them 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 that although [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]] is knocked out, he is not going to kill his father. 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 currently hiding under the bedsheets.<br />

|{{Q|This place, Mutsukabe shrine, may have a pond, it may have frogs and fish, and it may even be a paradise. But... it is certainly not your blue lagoon. Humans... they're happy when they're trying to overcome something. Even for someone like me... someone fortunate enough to be born as the eldest son of a wealthy family, I need to keep climbing higher... or I will never be happy. It's all relative. Because the point we're born at... is zero for us. And people have to go upwards.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 61}}}}<br />

|{{Q|Listen closely, when daddy was just a bit older than you are now, he got sick. And the one who set me on the road to getting better was my mother... your grandma Kaato.

|{{Q|Speed King, ignite.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 73}}}}<br />
|{{Q|I have a very different philosophy from grandpa Norisuke! But what I'm doing, I'm doing all of it for the future of the Higashikata Family. Whatever nice-sounding things my father says, the strong survive... and the weak disappear! That's all there is to it. No matter who you are, no one in this world can avoid that law. 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! I'm going to get my hands on that Locacaca! And I'll keep them all for myself! I'm not letting anyone else have them.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 73}}}}<br />

|{{Q|"There is good and bad luck in this world." That's something I've been told. There are situation where if you'd gotten somewhere one second sooner... you might have been in an accident or avoided an accident. Or you met or didn't meet someone important when you went somewhere... things where the result... is good or bad. And the cause is good or evil. There are situations like that... I've been told.<br />
<br />
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. Those two, and nothing more.[...] And now, the Higashikata Family is in the process of becoming even stronger. <br />
<br />
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. Because we always get our hands on strength. Tsurugi understands that. I can tell.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}}}<br />
|{{Q|Okay, listen closely... heat always flows from where the temperature is higher to where it's lower. 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. Do you understand what I've said?|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}}}<br />
|{{Q|The Higashikata Family will shine on and on, this house will prosper to even greater heights.|Jobin Higashikata, {{Ch|JJL Chapter 94}}}}<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{Quote|I'll just die like this. As recognition of your strength. Committing suicide at this point would be dishonorable.|Jean Pierre Polnareff, {{Ch|Chapter 126}}}}<br />
Jean Pierre Polnareff is a boastful but honorable and well-meaning Frenchman.<br />
[[File:Polnareff dagger.png|thumb|261x261px|Polnareff would rather die than act dishonorably]]<br />
Polnareff's most defining trait is his honor. His first appearance has him handicap himself on purpose by explaining his ability<ref name="C126">{{Ch|Chapter 126}}</ref> and fight his opponent [[Muhammad Avdol|Avdol]] in a terrain more suitable to the latter.<ref name="C125">{{Ch|Chapter 125}}</ref> Polnareff's honor is such that even under the control of [[Dio Brando|DIO]], he refuses to do something as dishonorable as attacking someone from the backname.<ref name="C126" /> Adopting a chivalrous mindset, Polnareff is reluctant to flee from a fight or use dishonorable tactics, although he can be persuaded if the opponent is one he deeply hates like Vanilla Ice<ref name="C241">{{Ch|Chapter 241}}</ref> or DIO.<ref name="C259">{{Ch|Chapter 259}}</ref> He is in fact somewhat happy to see [[Chaka]] challenge him directly.<ref name="C194">{{Ch|Chapter 194}}</ref> Polnareff is also very eager to avenge his fallen loved ones, for instance traveling the world to search for the one to have killed his sister [[Minor Characters#Sherry Polnareff|Sherry]].<ref name="C127">{{Ch|Chapter 127}}</ref> Polnareff is well-meaning and will also sacrifice a potential romance so his enemies won't harm an innocent woman, the most notable case with [[Malèna]],<ref name="C209">{{Ch|Chapter 209}}</ref> whose kindness towards him when [[Alessi]]'s Stand caused him to shrink into a child moved him.<ref name="C207">{{Ch|Chapter 207}}</ref><br />
[[File:Polnareff Avdol arguing.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Polnareff calling Avdol a coward]]<br />
Likewise, Polnareff comes off as arrogant, confrontational and can be rather impulsive. He is very proud of his [[Silver Chariot]], with good reason as he trained hard with it,<ref name="C125" /> but his overconfidence unfortunately means that he is poorly suited to fight the cowardly [[Stand]] users on his path, as he doesn't expect their moves and leads him into a number of disadvantageous positions, notably against [[Hol Horse]]'s [[Emperor]]<ref name="C142">{{Ch|Chapter 142}}</ref> or [[Anubis]].<ref name="C194" /> Polnareff has trouble seeing his own faults and thinks of himself as better as he really is, having for instance once noted the carelessness of throwing a lit cigarette butt on the ground, a cigarette he threw, and which caused a fire.<ref name="C190">{{Ch|Chapter 190}}</ref> During his journey, it isn't unusual for Polnareff to argue with his companions or run afoul of various people he meets. He also initially held a poor view of Avdol, as he fled DIO instead of fighting, and had an argument which severed his relationship with him. Likewise Polnareff attacked [[Iggy]] upon their first meeting, their two personalities clashing violently.<ref name="C183">{{Ch|Chapter 183}}</ref><br />
[[File:Polnareff baby food.gif|thumb|260x260px|Gulping down baby food he finds delicious]]<br />
Polnareff is also the least serious member of the group. He is maybe the one who bonds the most with his companions, casually joking with [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]], [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]], and even [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]. Being very extroverted, he has no problem expressing joy or sorrow, thus is the most compassionate of the group, being the one who mourns his comrades openly. This trait pushed the other members of the third [[Joestar Group]] not to reveal Avdol's recovery to him as they feared he would spill the secret.<ref name="C179">{{Ch|Chapter 179}}</ref> Polnareff is somewhat easily distracted and repeatedly finds a way to lighten the mood, cracking a joke in sign language with Kakyoin while the submarine they were in was being sunk,<ref name="C181">{{Ch|Chapter 181}}</ref> being willing to taste a homemade baby food from Joseph<ref name="C171">{{Ch|Chapter 171}}</ref> and somehow coming to believe in Judgement's power as a genie, asking for becoming a comic book artist greater than Disney.<ref name="C175">{{Ch|Chapter 175}}</ref> In fact Polnareff references pop culture icons frequently, such as Tom & Jerry, or The Exorcist. He can be unintelligent but in battle has shown surprising intellect, strategy and instinct.<br />
[[File:Polnareff & women.gif|left|thumb|220x220px|Polnareff cannot resist pretty girls]]<br />
Polnareff fancies himself a ladies' man. This is in part due to having mild narcissism, often considering himself a handsome man and takes special pride in his hair. A woman's good looks are always enough to distract him from even the most serious subjects, leading to Joseph commenting that Polnareff thinks with his crotch.<ref name="C127" /> Indeed, even his infant self was already delighted to bathe with a beautiful woman. Usually a very perceptive fighter, being able to sniff out [[Devo]],<ref name="C133">{{Ch|Chapter 133}}</ref> Chaka, and [[Alessi]],<ref name="C205">{{Ch|Chapter 205}}</ref> he seems to be unable to think that a woman would ever be evil, never suspecting [[Nena]]<ref name="C148">{{Ch|Chapter 148}}</ref> or [[Enya the Hag|Enya]]<ref name="C157">{{Ch|Chapter 157}}</ref> when he met them. Polnareff is very friendly with the women, giving love advice to Nena and trying to bond with Enya (though it unintentionally enraged her).<ref name="C157" /><br />
<br />
As a "sophisticated" man, Polnareff cannot stand filthy places, especially filthy toilets or those that do not fit his standards.<ref name="C140">{{Ch|Chapter 140}}</ref><br />
<br />
Interestingly, Polnareff's best friends during the course of the series are Avdol and Iggy, neither of whom he could stand when they first met. In fact, no character mourns the deaths of his companions like Polnareff does, and no other character is as dedicated to avenging them.<br />
<br />
In ''Vento Aureo'', Polnareff has considerably matured and has become a serious and focused individual. His experience allows him to offer very needed counsel in [[Giorno Giovanna|Giorno]] and the others' fight against [[Diavolo]].<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Stand===<br />
{{Main|Silver Chariot}}<br />
<br />
{{Main|Chariot Requiem}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Silver Chariot SC Infobox Manga.png|thumb|left|212px]]<br />
Polnareff's humanoid [[Stand]] is Silver Chariot, one of the fastest of all; utilizing a {{W|rapier}} in a flexible and deadly offense.<br />
<br />
In ''Vento Aureo'', Polnareff develops Chariot Requiem, a Stand able to manipulate souls, with the touch of the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]]; and later becomes sustained by [[Coco Jumbo]]'s Stand, [[Mr.President]].<br />
<br />
====Mastery====<br />
Having been born with Silver Chariot, Polnareff is stated to have intensively trained with his Stand, with great results. Thanks to his training, Polnareff is able to expertly wield Silver Chariot and make it fight with the expertise of a seasoned swordsman, able to command it to slash or stab with great precision and timing. Although the sword is its main feature, Polnareff can also command his Stand to perform kicks in a pinch.<br />
<br />
Moreover, Polnareff has a habit of partially channelling Silver Chariot through his body, adding greater protection against attacks.<br />
<br />
===Personal===<br />
====Intelligence====<br />
Polnareff's tactical acumen is greatly impeded by his faults, such as mild arrogance, tendency to be distracted by women (especially pretty ones), and his general nobility of character which makes him slow in expecting treachery.<br />
<br />
However, Polnareff has proven to be a very perceptive fighter. Firstly, he is noticeably faster to catch when a man is trying to attack him. He has managed to decipher the powers of Hanged Man and devised an effective counter to it, has occasionally shown to greatly use the environment to his advantage for instance by purposefully breaking a mirror and use the pieces to observe a blind angle, and his experience enabled him to be able to figure out some of [[Cream]]'s weaknesses and [[King Crimson]]'s power, devising a mildly effective counter to its time erasure.<br />
<br />
====Swordsmanship====<br />
Polnareff's training with Silver Chariot and an off-hand comment about Chaka's amateurish sword stance suggests that Polnareff himself is a skilled swordsman. His skill is somewhat demonstrated when after being possessed by [[Anubis]], he himself is able to overwhelm [[Star Platinum]]. The anime expands on that by giving him a typical fencing stance.<br />
<br />
====Hacking====<br />
After having been defeated by Diavolo, Polnareff went into hiding and developed computer hacking skills, allowing him to watch over numerous law enforcement databases unnoticed and communicate undetected by [[Passione]] with [[Bucciarati's Gang]].<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*{{MN|Sherry Polnareff}}: Not much has been shown of their relationship. However, it is fairly obvious that he loved her dearly. He spent years training his Silver Chariot and spent three years searching for the man who raped and murdered his sister who was J. Geil. He also carried a picture of her wherever he went. It is shown in flashbacks that he took care of her since she was young and was particularly close to her, especially since their mother died when he was three. When Cameo's Judgement claimed to be a Genie, Polnareff had him bring back his dead sister and when she was about to kill him, he initially could not fight back because he thought she was his sister.<br />
<br />
===Friends===<br />
<br />
*[[Muhammad Avdol]]: Possibly his best friend throughout the journey, Polnareff initially met the fortune teller under DIO's control (as he had a flesh bud in his head) and challenged him to a battle. Avdol recognized his chivalrous soul and Polnareff was subsequently saved. Initially, Polnareff also thought less of Avdol when he learned that he ran from DIO rather than confront him, but Avdol's "sacrifice" considerably improved his view of him. After Avdol revealed he was alive, the two became great friends despite their opposite temperament. In fact a recurring theme for Avdol was that he often had to save Polnareff from danger such as with [[J. Geil]] and [[Hol Horse]], [[Cameo]] with his stand [[Judgement]], and [[Cream]]. During both Avdol's deaths, Polnareff mourned deeply the loss of his companion, and tried to wish for Avdol's return to life to [[Judgement]].<br />
*[[Iggy]]: The two initially did not get along since Polnareff woke him up after a bumpy flight. Polnareff disliked Iggy's cocky and demeaning attitude and antagonized him frequently, causing Polnareff to be Iggy's most common target when it came to getting bitten and farted on. Despite this, during their fight against Cream, Iggy sacrificed himself to save Polnareff. Polnareff deeply mourned his sacrifice, admitting he initially thought Iggy was a stubborn shitty mutt but grew to love how stubborn he was and how he didn't get close to humans because it showed how proud he was, and it was this determination that allowed him to beat Vanilla Ice.<br />
*[[File:5e0.gif|thumb|295x295px|Kakyoin and Polnareff's "manly handshake".]][[Noriaki Kakyoin]]: The two were good friends and while not as close to him as he was to Avdol, the two greatly cared for each other and worked well together in battles, such as Polnareff's battle with [[J. Geil]] and when Joseph was infected by [[The Lovers]], Kakyoin and Polnareff worked together to defeat him. The two did have a brief falling out when [[Mannish Boy]] attacked the gang with [[Death Thirteen]] and Polnareff didn't believe Kakyoin when he said the baby was the stand user, believing the journey had taken its toll on Kakyoin and made him crazy. However, upon learning that Kakyoin was right, he genuinely apologized and the two have gotten along since. For example, when the two were in a sinking submarine, the two were still able to joke around with each other and do a manly handshake. At the end of their journey, Polnareff mourned his comrades, including Kakyoin.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Polnareff and Jotaro were very close, their friendship being one of the few relationships for which Jotaro displayed open gestures of friendship such as comforting Polnareff when he rejected a possible love interest, and a teary farewell hug with him. By the time they got to Egypt, Polnareff's jolly temperament managed to make Jotaro appreciate him. Both respect each other as Stand users, Jotaro considering Silver Chariot dangerous enough so that he needs not restrain himself in a fight. Polnareff and Jotaro developed a habit to stick to each other, and Jotaro put himself at risk to save him from [[Anubis]] and [[Dio Brando|DIO]]. It is unknown if Jotaro ever learned of Polnareff's fate after the events of part 5.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: The two got along well with Polnareff respecting Joseph's powers and authority and Joseph respecting Polnareff's abilities with Silver Chariot. While Polnareff had the least interaction with Joseph, it was evident the two got along such as joking with each other during the Death Thirteen and Oingo Boingo Brother arcs. Joseph tended to complain that Polnareff thought too much with his crotch and joked around too much, while Polnareff saw Joseph as sometimes silly and accident prone, (such as with the plane crash and when he tried riding a camel in the Sun arc). Nonetheless, Polnareff was willing to help out Joseph when he was attacked by Lovers and Joseph offered Polnareff a chance to come and live with him in America since he knew Polnareff had no one else back in France. Though Polnareff ultimately declined he was grateful that Joseph offered him the chance and bid him a teary farewell. It is unknown if Joseph ever learned of Polnareff's fate after the events of part 5.<br />
*[[Malèna]]: A kind woman Polnareff met when he was de-aged by Alessi. She saw he was injured and took him to her house to take care of his wounds and clean him. Despite being a child, he was excited when she bathed him because of her beauty and the shared intimacy. When she was turned into a fetus by Alessi, he defeated Alessi to return her to normal. When she asked him where the child she saw was, rather than flirt with her, he pretended not to know because he didn't want to endanger her. It is obvious Polnareff developed genuine feelings for her.<br />
*[[Bucciarati's Gang]]: Polnareff first heard of Bucciarati's gang when they searched police databases to identify [[Diavolo]]. He chose to trust their righteousness and wanted to give them the Arrow so they could vanquish Diavolo, fully cooperating from the start with them. During the final fight, Polnareff acted as a voice of reason during the mayhem that Chariot Requiem and King Crimson were producing among the group. Finally Polnareff chose to stay close to [[Giorno Giovanna]] and was entrusted the Arrow inside [[Mr.President]].<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[J. Geil]]: As the Man who raped and killed his sister, Polnareff greatly hated J. Geil. Polnareff finally got his vengeance when he had Silver Chariot repeatedly stab J.Geil, killing him.<br />
*[[Devo]]: Polnareff and Devo met as enemy, and while Polnareff thought little of Devo since he was a poor fighter, the shaman grew to hate Polnareff after Silver Chariot injured him, fueling the power of Ebony Devil. Polnareff later took revenge by killing Devo.<br />
*[[Anubis]]: Anubis was one of many assassins sent by DIO to kill the group. Originally Polnareff thought Anubis was just a sword but realized what he was when the sword possessed him.<br />
*[[Alessi]]: Originally Polnareff saw Alessi as another enemy, but after he changed Polnareff into a child and tried to kill Malèna, Polnareff grew to despise Alessi. After turning back into an adult, Polnareff pummeled Alessi along with Jotaro.<br />
*[[Vanilla Ice]]: Jean Pierre hated Ice for the murders of Avdol and Iggy. Polnareff avenged Avdol and Iggy by stabbing Vanilla Ice in the face and forcing the [[Vampire]] into the sunlight.<br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: Like Kakyoin, he too met DIO and was placed under his control. After having the Flesh Bud removed by Jotaro, Polnareff decided to join the team, though at first for his own goals, as Polnareff theorized that DIO would know where his [[Minor Characters#Sherry Polnareff|sister]]'s [[J. Geil|killer]] would be. Even after he avenged her sister's death, Polnareff chose to stay with the group to defeat DIO. After the deaths of both Avdol and Iggy, Polnareff vowed to defeat DIO no matter what.<br />
*[[Diavolo]]: Polnareff investigated Diavolo in Italy, but only took the full measure of Diavolo's dangerousness during a clash after which he was left for dead and miraculously survived. Knowing he couldn't face Diavolo and Passione alone, and isolated from his allies, he laid low and waited for an opportunity. Polnareff was killed by Diavolo but then his soul was attached to Coco Jumbo. During the final moments of ''Vento Aureo'', Polnareff showed that he didn't underestimate Diavolo one bit and advised Bucciarati's Gang.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Polnareff became the biggest inspiration towards the character design of ''King of Fighters''<nowiki/>' [https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/benimaru.html Benimaru Nikaido]. ''SNK'' developers continue referring to Benimaru as Polnareff even today.<ref>http://kofaniv.snkplaymore.co.jp/english/character/index.php?num=benimaru</ref><br />
*In ''Part 3'' Polnareff is victim of a recurring gag involving bathrooms: Every time he goes to one he gets into trouble if varying threat levels, be it an attack from the enemy or some inconvenience from the bathroom itself. This is noted by Avdol after he has trouble in finding [[Mariah]] in a bathroom, as he comments that Polnareff is the expert with incidents regarding them.<br />
*There are strong parallels between Polnareff and {{W|Inigo Montoya}} from the movie and novel {{W|The Princess Bride}}: both are at first foes and then allies, both are master swordsmen and both sworn to vengeance against a man with a deformed hand. For Inigo, it was the count with six fingers. Finally when both meet their villain, they have a dramatic but concise presentation of their reason and intent for vengeance.<br />
*In ''[[GioGio's Bizarre Adventure]]'', he shares the same voice actor with [[La Squadra di Esecuzione]] members [[Illuso]] & their leader [[Risotto Nero]].<br />

{{Quote|You're not a normal monkey, are you?|[[Jotaro Kujo]] to Forever, [[Chapter 131]]}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Forever''' |フォーエバー|Fōebā}} is a minor antagonist featured in the third part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', specifically the "[[Strength (story arc)|Strength]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
He is a malicious {{W|Orangutan|orangutan}} in [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s service who confronts the group in the South China Sea aboard a freighter. Said ship happens to be possessed by Forever's [[Stand]]: [[Strength]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Apart from the two stripes or scars on each side of his head, there's not much to be said about Forever's appearance. He resembles a disheveled orangutan, though he does dress in a captain uniform after his Stand is revealed. Like a normal orangutan, Forever's strength is approximately 5 times greater than a normal person, enabling him to easily rip a person's arm off. Unlike most male orangutans, he does not appear to have prominent cheek pads or a throat pouch.<br />
<br />
Forever also happens to smoke both cigarettes and the pipe.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:forever personality.gif|thumb|A truly intelligent ape, but an arrogant and perverted one|260px]]<br />
Forever will sometimes act like a human being. He seems to be attracted to human females - he looks at pornographic magazines and seems to lust for [[Anne]]. He also smokes cigarettes and can cut his own apples, showing unusually high intelligence for an orangutan. Furthermore, he can read and quickly solve puzzle games, like a Rubik's cube.<br />
<br />
These human abilities coexist with his brutal animal nature: he plays with his victims, confident of his control over the ship, but should his strong sense of pride be hurt, he loses his calm and quickly becomes violent. His character design is presumably inspired by the super-intelligent yet malicious orangutan from the movie, {{W|Link (film)|Link}}.<ref>Artbook: ''[[JOJOVELLER]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Like many other Stand Users from ''Stardust Crusaders'', Forever is a henchman of DIO who has been ordered to kill [[Jotaro]] and his friends before they reach Egypt, where DIO lurks.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Strength}}<br />
<br />
Forever's [[Stand]] is Strength, sharing its name with the tarot card. In its only display, it transforms a ruined yacht into a massive oil freighter, which the ape can then control at his leisure.<br />
<br />
'''<u>Intelligence:</u>''' Forever is a particularly intelligent orangutan who, though unable to speak human language, can read, solve a Rubik's cube, and generally have coherent thoughts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
Forever is among the seven Stand Users deployed by [[Enya the Hag]] to assassinate the [[Joestar Group]]<br />
<br />
Forever confronts Jotaro and company at sea between China and Singapore on their way to Egypt, right after the confrontation with the [[Impostor Captain Tennille]]. Jotaro, his comrades, and Captain Tennille's seamen approach a large oil carrier and get aboard, only to find out that nobody is on the deck nor in the cabins. The only living being they meet is Forever, a seemingly normal orangutan, lying in his cage. After the death of one of the seamen, caused by the mysterious activation of a mechanical hook, JoJo's group begins to suspect the presence of a Stand user.<br />
<br />
Attracted to [[Anne]], Forever leaves his cage, kills all of the remaining seamen and ambushes the girl in the shower. He is stopped by Jotaro, only to quickly regain control of the situation by exploiting the fact that Jotaro and the others couldn't imagine the enemy Stand to be the entire ship. At the same time, he binds the whole Joestar Group, slowly crushing them in the metal of the ship. Immobilized by the evil primate, Jotaro manages to provoke his opponent by hitting him with a button from his uniform, hurting his pride and getting him in the range of his Star Finger.<br />
<br />
Caught by surprise by the now unbound Jotaro, Forever begs for mercy. Jotaro refuses the ape's proposal, saying that Forever has rejected the rules of the animal world, becoming just as corrupt as a human being, and kills him with a barrage of Star Platinum's punches. With Forever's death, the ship collapses, returning to the original wrecked boat it was and the heroes are free to continue their journey.<br />
<br />
In the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA adaptation]], Jotaro remains incapacitated during the fight against Forever. Instead, [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] returns after Avdol left him for dead, and proceeds to slice Forever in half with [[Silver Chariot]].<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC Game)|''JoJo'' RPG (SFC)]]===<br />
The events from ''Strength'' occur in a different way. The Stand takes the form of a building instead of a boat, and the battle takes place in Japan instead of Singapore in comparison to the original story.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]===<br />
Forever appears as a mini-game boss during the SUPER STORY (featured only on home console releases).<br />
<br />
His mini-game consists of the player shooting whenever Forever appears on the screen (the shots will represent Star Platinum's ''Star Finger''). For defense, Forever will always throw random stuff at the player, such as fans, pipes or rocks. Anne, the runaway girl, also appears randomly on the screen; if the player hits her by accident, the life bar will be decreased.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters|Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)]]===<br />
Both Forever and Strength appear as two of the several characters who possess a Metal Striker in the game. Their FINISH MOVE makes the fan which was on the ship fly and cut the opponent.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:HeritageForever.png|200px|thumb|Forever's name in Heritage]]<br />
<br />
*Forever was not given a proper name until several years after Part 3's publication, where it was revealed in the {{W|Playstation}} port of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future]] and eventually documented in [[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]. The name is derived from a pun as the Japanese spelling for {{nihongo|Orangutan|オランウータン|Oranūtan}} encompasses the Japanese spelling for {{nihongo|Wu-Tang|ウータン|Ūtan}}.<br />
*Forever's lustful gaze towards the showering [[Anne]] may also be a callback to a similar scene in the 1986 horror film ''{{W|Link (film)|Link}}'', where an intelligent chimpanezee (played by an orangutan) stalks the female protagonist as she gets undressed for a bath.<br />
*In the anime, he shares the same voice actor as [[Shigekiyo Yangu]].<br />
*The model featured on the Playboy magazine he looks at is {{W|List of Playboy Playmates of 1989#June|Tawnni Cable}}.<br />
*Forever is the first animal stand user to appear in the series.<br />

{{Quote|Troublesome waters! Lies and betrayal! It represents the fear of the unknown: the card of the moon, '''Dark Blue Moon'''!|Impostor Captain Tenille}}<br />
An unnamed assassin, the {{nihongo|'''impostor Captain Tennille'''|偽キャプテン・テニール|Nise Kyaputen Tenīru}} is a minor antagonist featured in the third part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', specifically the "[[Dark Blue Moon (story arc)|Dark Blue Moon]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
This assassin is sent by [[Dio Brando|DIO]] who fights the [[Joestar Group]] in the middle of the ocean on their way to Egypt. He is a [[Stand]] User and wields [[Dark Blue Moon]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
The impostor appears as a tall, muscular man possibly in his late thirties. He has a fairly inconspicuous appearance as he only has a moustache and a soul patch for a facial trait and has a mere crew cut.<br />
<br />
His attire is similarly ordinary as he wears a simple shirt and trousers, complete with gloves, a plain kerchief tied around his neck, and a captain's cap.<br />
<br />
Though the reader is never shown the true {{MN|Captain Tennille}}, one can assume that he was practically identical to the impostor, since his men, who had worked for ten years on the same ship, did not even suspect the replacement.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
The impostor appears to be very patient, as he originally planned to separate the protagonists and kill them one by one. Once his schemes are spoiled by [[Jotaro Kujo]], he does not lose his calm, saying that it will be no problem for him to kill them all at once from underwater. He appears to be also quite thorough in his work as he planted bombs on his ship to prevent the Joestar Group from sailing to Egypt. He also enjoys guessing what his enemies are thinking. As with most Stand Users, he is very confident in his Stand's ability, with reason as even Star Platinum had trouble fighting [[Dark Blue Moon]] in the water.<br />
<br />
He also seems to be fond of the ocean, being rude towards Jotaro after seeing he was smoking and asking if he was going to throw the ashes and the cigar in the water (although this clashes with the fact that he disposed of the real Captain Tennille's body by throwing it into the ocean).<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Dark Blue Moon}}<br />
<br />
The impostor's Stand is Dark Blue Moon; a considerably independent humanoid Stand of great advantage in water.<br />
<br />
'''Lung capacity:''' The impostor's lung capacity surpasses the human average by three times, and through practice, he can stay underwater for 6 minutes and 12 seconds.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
The impostor is one of the Tarot Card representatives sent by [[Enya the Hag]] to kill the Joestar group. Seeing that the Joestar group decided to travel by sea after the attack of [[Gray Fly]] and how the captain of the ship looks just like him, he decides to kill the captain and take his place. He throws the captain into the ocean and boards the ship with everyone else, no one noticing that he isn't the real Tennille. He plans to kill the group one by one while inside the ship.<br />
<br />
===Stardust Crusaders===<br />
The impostor appears on a boat that Jotaro Kujo and company have taken to go from Hong Kong to Singapore. After Jotaro and [[Anne]] are attacked in the water by a mysterious creature, Jotaro has become suspicious of the crew members and believes one of them may be a Stand user.<br />
<br />
Although [[Joseph Joestar]] insists that the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] had checked his credentials, Jotaro decides to find out if he is the culprit anyway by playing a bluff on him: he says that breathing even a minimal quantity of smoke causes a big vein to appear on the nose of a Stand user. The impostor Captain Tennille immediately falls for it, and reveals his true identity and that he had killed the real Captain Tennille earlier in Hong Kong Harbour.<br />
<br />
He tries to take Anne hostage, but before he manages to do so he is stopped by Star Platinum. The impostor, however, drags Jotaro underwater with his Stand Dark Blue Moon, where his Stand can fight at full power. He traps Jotaro into a vortex, attempting to slash him with Dark Blue Moon's razor scales. He even manages to create some sort of little Cirripede-Stands that drain energy from his opponents' Stands.<br />
<br />
Finally, by exploiting [[Star Platinum]]'s ability to stretch his index and middle fingers, Jotaro stabs the enemy Stand and rips half of his head, defeating him, but in a last ditch effort, the impostor Captain Tennille blows up the ship, leaving the protagonists to meet their next Stand encounter, [[Strength]]. Tennille, however, is left to die in the sea.<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC Game)|''JoJo'' RPG (SFC)]]===<br />
The events from ''Dark Blue Moon'' occur on some different ways from the original story, as the impostor Captain Tennille uses his Stand to attack the party within a water trap found in a building. Also, Anne is completely removed from the game, resulting in the impostor Captain Tennille not using her as a hostage to attack the team.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)]]===<br />
Unlike the previous game, the events from ''Dark Blue Moon'' appear on the game with nothing removed. It appears as a "quick time event" mini-game in ''Super Story'' mode, where the player must dodge all the attacks from the impostor Captain Tennille's Stand. The mini-game can be replayed on ''Gallery Mode'' ([[Oingo]] and [[Boingo]]'s [[Tohth|book]]).<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The impostor's true name was never revealed. In supplementary merchandises, he is still only known as "the impostor Captain Tennille".<br />
*In the official subtitles on Crunchyroll and the English Dub the impostor Captain Tennille is renamed Captain Dragon. This name change actually still ties into the Captain & Tennille reference, as the Captain's real name is {{W|Daryl Dragon}}.<br />

{{Nihongo|'''Enrico Pucci'''|エンリコ・プッチ|Enriko Putchi}} is the main antagonist of the 6th arc of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[Stone Ocean]],'' and the 5th [[:Category:Main Antagonists|main antagonist]] of the series.<br />
<br />
A loyal follower and friend of [[Dio Brando|DIO]], Pucci aspires to implement a plan long formulated by DIO to "achieve heaven". Working as a {{W|Chaplain|chaplain}} at [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], he secretly frames [[Jolyne Cujoh]] and uses her as bait to lure [[Jotaro Kujo]] and his memories of [[DIO's Diary]].<br />
<br />
Pucci is a [[Stand]] User and manipulates the mind and soul through his Stand, [[Whitesnake]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Pucci is a dark-skinned man of average to above-average height and slim to fit build.<br />
<br />
Pucci has very short white hair with shaved lines forming two elongated hexagons of hair between his scalp and his temples, each joining the corresponding eyebrow with a zig-zagging strand of hair. In early depictions, the other side of these hexagons joined the rest of the hair with another zig-zagging strand of hair and shaved lines formed a triangle behind each ear in a way that the larger mass of hair formed a large plus sign on the back of his head. Later depictions have the shaved lines of each hexagon joining and going to the base of his skull by forming a one-chevron line. He has thin sideburns, spreading at the edge of the middle of his jaw.<br />
<br />
In early depictions, his irises had a plus sign shaped star design which changed into a solid color incomplete disk, missing a circular section either on the left or the right side.<br />
<br />
Pucci wears a slim, black gown, in the style of a priest's vestment. A gold cross is printed on top, spanning his chest and running his length, with two golden double crosses at the wrists of his sleeves. The gown is accompanied with an $800<ref>''SO Chapter 49: [[SO Chapter 49|Flash Flood Warning, Part 2]]''</ref> pair of pants and some loafers. He later added a belt over his gown.<br />
<br />
===Pucci of the New Moon===<br />
After fusing with [[the Green Baby]], Pucci's appearance takes a number of superficial changes.<br />
<br />
Strands of hair join to his eyebrows, forming a five-pointed star on his forehead and his right sideburn join with it. His hair changes design with three shaved lines going from his left temple to the base of his skull. He grows ponytails or dreadlocks, which thread through the holes of his collar.<br />
<br />
A star-shaped [[Joestar Birthmark|Joestar birthmark]] appears on his shoulder.<ref>SO Chapter 96: [[SO Chapter 96|Jail House Lock! Part 1]], p2</ref><br />
<br />
In early depictions, like the Green Baby, his eyelashes grow into spikes and his skin has lines going over it and he replaces his previous belt with a much larger double belt, and his wrists now have golden bands. He has five ponytails, his sideburn has 4 lines going to his eyebrows with one going to the left eyebrow and the shaved lines follow the top of his scalp.<br />
<br />
Later depictions have only 3 ponytails, 3 lines joining his sideburn to his right eyebrow and the shaved lines following his left temple.<br />

The priest Enrico Pucci is a fanatic committed to a heretical notion of God's will and to [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s plan.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, Enrico Pucci was a good-hearted man, who tried the best he could to follow his faith as a future priest. Even then, Pucci was already interested in Fate as he was curious as to why he lived while his twin brother Domenico Pucci died. These interrogations were what made him want to become a priest and seek answers.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 127}}, p.16</ref> When a tragic series of events led to the suicide of his beloved sister [[Perla Pucci|Perla]], Pucci fell into despair and then went to see DIO, whom he encountered before.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SO Chapter 127}}{{Ch|SO Chapter 128}}<br />
<br />
{{Ch|SO Chapter 129}}<br />
</ref><br />
<br />
Enrico Pucci then became a radical believer after frequenting DIO, whose principal credo was that humans were helpless before many forces which ruled the Universe. Among these forces, God's will and Fate -which Pucci dubs "Gravity"- were the most brought up. Pucci's backstory, full of near-impossible coincidences and twists of fate and Perla's death whose responsibility couldn't be pinned on anybody, in particular, were the probable inceptions of this belief.<ref name=":0" /> Prone to chitchat, a lingering effect of his many discussions with DIO, Pucci often brings multiple random trivia to drive his point: observing [[Miraschon]] try to steal a golden cross, Pucci explained how Miraschon couldn't escape her nature;<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}, p15</ref> similarly, Pucci explained to Jolyne how a certain species of reckless swallows died young because they didn't realize their limits, and used this as a metaphor for the Joestar bloodline.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 94}}, p8</ref> Mixing this belief with DIO's plan to "attain Heaven", Pucci sought to make every human know their fated paths via Made in Heaven's power, and give them the "resolution" to accept their destiny, calling it true "happiness". Essentially, Pucci wished that humans realized that they couldn't fight Fate and make them at peace with their status as subordinates of Fate.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 157}}, p8-10</ref><br />
<br />
In his quest for attaining Heaven, Pucci used many immoral methods including murder, manipulation, and bribery. Pucci was particularly callous about human lives, considering that he worked for the greater good anyway and that these sacrifices were insignificant. DIO's plan notably included the sacrifice of 36 human lives, and Pucci also sought to murder anyone who would cross his path, even Emporio Alniño who was a helpless child, or used minions he would recruit with manipulation or promises of favors as the priest of Green Dolphin Street. Underhanded tactics are not beneath him: Pucci favors imposing cruel choices to his enemies, for instance throwing Jotaro's Memory DISC into the dying Anasui,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 94}}, p19</ref> and asking Jolyne whether she wants to stop him or save Jotaro, as the DISC will disappear if Anasui dies and her father as a result, and Pucci would drive Jotaro through a similar choice in his final battle.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 154}}, p6-8</ref><br />
<br />
Generally, Pucci is a rather immoral person, having no qualm being violent (his first appearance has him smashing Miraschon face-first into the edge of a cabinet after discovering a theft)<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}, p13</ref> or collaborating with various criminals, viewing them as tools to further his plans. As a fanatic, Pucci neither enjoys nor dislikes the numerous immoral acts he commits, being focused on his plan above all. As DIO planned for, his friend Pucci doesn't take any interest whatsoever in worldly concerns such as wealth or sex, and his only drives are his friendship with DIO and his belief,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 96}}, p8</ref> although, during their first meeting, DIO noticed a burgeoning evil in the priest who was reading a book about a clergyman committing adultery and running from his office to become an artist.<ref name=":0" /> In his goal to obtain DIO's plans, he sacrificed Johngalli A, the only one of his original allies left and DIO's son Donatello. His twin brother [[Weather Report|Wes]] told him when he regained his memory, that he was "the worst evil: an evil man who didn't know that he was evil".<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 136}}, p10</ref><br />
<br />
A rather reserved priest, Pucci became more and more exalted as the plan neared its completion, having occasional outbursts of enthusiasm and celebrating the Green Baby's conception. Prior to acquiring Made in Heaven, Pucci was an anxious person and used to recite the prime numbers,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 49}}, p7</ref> which calmed him thanks to their indivisibility. Upon unlocking it, however, Pucci became supremely confident, and began to express his emotions more freely, exasperated at Jolyne's persistence to resist him and angrily shout her name.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 155}}, p6</ref> <br />
<br />
Interestingly, Pucci's first Stand [[Whitesnake]] possesses its own personality which can be described as scornful and vicious. Whitesnake vocalizes Pucci's inner emotions more freely than its user, notably his anger.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{See also|Whitesnake|C-Moon|Made in Heaven}}Pucci develops two [[Stand]]s other than his original during the course of ''Stone Ocean''.<br />
<br />
Whitesnake is Pucci's basic Stand, with which he may steal up to two [[DISC]]s from individuals, one DISC contains the Stand of the target while the other DISC contains the target's memories.<br />
<br />
Pucci develops C-Moon with the instructions in [[DIO's Diary]] and with [[DIO's Bone]], which manipulates gravity.<br />
<br />
Pucci develops Made in Heaven with further instructions in DIO's Diary, which steadily increases the speed of time.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, having healed Pucci's foot when they first meet. Through the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci to inherit control of his plan. At one point, DIO forced Pucci's hand into his head and nearly had his Stand DISC removed to test Pucci's loyalty to him.<br />
<br />
*[[Johngalli A]]: Pucci had allied with Johngalli A to kill Jotaro and his daughter to avenge DIO. Despite their alliance, Pucci later betrayed Johngalli A and killed him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Pucci harbored a grudge against Jotaro for having killed DIO. However, Jotaro was unaware of Pucci's existence until the end of Stone Ocean. Pucci took his revenge by stealing both Jotaro's memories and Stand to let his lifeless corpse rot away, but nonetheless knew he was a dangerous Stand user, thus took every precaution against him. Pucci ultimately killed Jotaro in Florida.<br />
*[[Jolyne Cujoh]]: To Pucci, he only saw her as bait at first in order to get to Jotaro but proved to be a bigger threat upon her determination on getting her father's Stand and memory disks. They became enemies right away once informed that [[Whitesnake]] was, in fact, Pucci and was eager to take his life but Pucci proved himself to be a lot more challenging when he threw her father's memories into a dying Anasui which gave Pucci the edge of achieving victory. Jolyne became more than determined in stopping him and putting an end to his plans but her efforts would soon be fatal while she almost fell to Pucci's newly evolved [[C-Moon]] and would finally fall to his [[Made In Heaven]] while protecting Emporio, but has managed to cut the right side of his eye before dying.<br />
*[[Emporio Alniño]]: After Pucci murdered his mother, Emporio was aware of his villainy and feared him. Originally Pucci did not think much of Emporio due to his age, but would later regret his decision to not kill him as Emporio would later kill him and destroy his plans once and for all.<br />
<br />
=== Relationships in [[Eyes of Heaven]]===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Video Game not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Heaven Ascension DIO]]: Pucci was as loyal to Ascension DIO as he was to regular DIO.<br />

{{Quotes<br />
|{{Q|The difference between man and animal... it's the desire to "go to Heaven". Humans think about it...However, dogs and parrots can't grasp this concept. The idea of "Heaven". Humans should spend their lives trying to attain "Heaven". That is the beauty of humans.|Enrico Pucci, {{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}}}<br />
|{{Q|To do something for others is usually built upon what you can benefit from it. To be kind to others is to expect kindness from others as well. There is no such thing as unconditional love.

If Jolyne Cujoh has truly escaped from prison and is heading towards me... she will merely become another existence that I will have to step over!|Enrico Pucci, {{Ch|SO Chapter 111}}}}<br />

{{Nihongo|'''Dangerous Pursuit, Part 5'''|危険な追跡 その⑤|Kiken na Tsuiseki Sono 5}} is the ninety third chapter of ''[[JoJolion]]'' and the nine hundred fortieth chapter of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' manga.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The chapter starts off with [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] contemplating about the new [[Locacaca]] branch. Meanwhile, a deliveryman enters the [[TG University Hospital]] and eventually reaches Josuke's location where Josuke gives him an unknown parcel to deliver. The deliveryman asks Josuke to confirm the address of the delivery, only for Josuke to silently pay him in cash. The deliveryman subsequently leaves. It is revealed that [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] is resting in a bed near Josuke. Heeding her advice, Josuke has decided to stop directly pursuing [[Satoru Akefu]] but to be made into pursuing him and patiently waits in the destroyed laboratory for his actions to pay off.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Yasuho Hirose]] has arrived at the [[Higashikata House]], looking for the New Locacaca branch but hiding outside. Indeed, she has deduced that someone from the Higashikata Family has the branch while Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku]] are still thinking that the branch has left the estate. Yasuho uses [[Paisley Park]] to infiltrate the house through the video surveillance system. Paisley Park then hides into [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]]'s mobile phone in his backpocket to use him as transportation. It is shown that Joshu is looking for [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]], and comes by a despondent [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke]], sitting on the stairs. After Joshu tries to encourage him to come with the rest of the family, he retreats back upstairs.<br />
<br />
Yasuho takes note of [[Higashikata Family]]'s unusually somber mood but quickly resumes her search. She initially aims to find [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], whom she trusts but cannot reach for unknown reasons, but her interest is piqued when she sees the bedridden [[Tsurugi Higashikata|Tsurugi]]. By pushing Joshu's phone out of his pocket, she is able to get the cell phone into Tsurugi's room and sneakily leave it after Joshu retrieves his phone. Paisley Park hides inside another mobile phone charging on the desk besides Tsurugi and calls for him. Yasuho tries to directly ask Tsurugi where the new Locacaca branch is but Tsurugi tells her to leave instead, explaining that he turned off his phone precisely so that she wouldn't come there. Someone then suddenly grabs the phone and brings it out of Tsurugi's room, only to toss it into the toilets. From the bowl, Yasuho finally sees that it is Jobin trying to drown Paisley Park. Worse, the signal of the phone is cut, isolating Paisley Park from Yasuho as she also begins to drown. Apologetic, Tsurugi still claims that they cannot let anyone find out their secret. Only 3 hours and 24 minutes to the harvest.<br />

<hr />
<div>Due to a lack of proper localization, a common problem for fans of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series is determining the correct spelling of names found in the series. Multiple scanlation groups, fansubbers, and even professional anime and gaming companies often translate these names based on assumption or other reference material, or to avoid trademark and copyright issues outside of Japan. Because of the series' common theme of referencing musical artists, a {{W|false etymology}} has formed amongst fans regarding some of the names.<br />
<br />
[[Hirohiko Araki]] himself is not known for his consistency, and spelling changes become apparent even in the manga. (see Joseph Joestar or Jotaro Kujo below). Many fans believe most of the names are spelled exactly like the artists and bands they reference (with some exceptions such as Zeppeli) due to the belief that Araki does not like copyright changes to his character names, but for the purposes of this website, '''the articles use a naming convention that takes into account the most recent Japanese romanization found in the manga or [[:Category:Artbook|artbooks]], as well as their consistency throughout multiple official sources'''.<br />
<br />
''[[JOJOVELLER]]'' is the most recent artbook to provide English names for all major characters through April 2014, while the volumes of ''[[JoJolion]]'' provide English names for newer characters and Stands.<br />

==Relationships==<br />
[[File:Pbheroes.jpg|thumb|220px|The brave and noble characters from Phantom Blood]]<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
*[[George Joestar I]]: In his youth, Jonathan's father was very strict on him, correcting his lack of table manners and berating his studies, while ignoring the harm that Dio was bringing on his son. This was perhaps made worse by the fact that Jonathan's mother had died some years ago, hardening George and causing him to be harsher on his son. Regardless, Jonathan still loves his father greatly, angrily beating up Dio, whom he had been friends with for the past seven years, for poisoning his father. When Dio throws a knife at Jonathan, George sacrifices himself to block the knife and comments that "it's not so bad to die in your son's arms".<br />
*[[Minor Characters#Mary Joestar|Mary Joestar]]: Though Jonathan's interactions with his mother are never seen as she is killed while he was still an infant, he is shown to love her greatly, looking at her picture wistfully and crying right after Dio ruins his life with his arrival.<br />
*[[Danny]]: Jonathan and Danny have forged a strong bond since Danny saved Jonathan from drowning in the river. Jonathan is shown to be very angry when Danny was kicked by Dio and had sobbed uncontrollably when the household had buried Danny. Danny still shows up in his master's memories, when Jonathan remembers having fought with Danny over a bone.<br />
*[[Erina Pendleton]]: Jonathan's love interest and eventually his wife first hands him a handkerchief shortly after he is beaten down by bullies. Jonathan professes his love for her afterwards, which she is shown to accept at least in part, until Dio enters and steals her first kiss in order to upset the two. Erina does return after the Joestar mansion burns down, however, and nurses Jonathan back to health, igniting the relationship between the two once more. The two are married after Jonathan manages to defeat Dio with his [[Ripple]], and their relationship continues well into Erina's old age, where her memories of Jonathan prevent her from entering into a relationship with Robert Speedwagon.<br />
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: Many years after Jonathan's death, DIO uses Jonathan's body to get around in the world now, during which he sires 4 children, one of which is Giorno. Of all the children, Giorno is born first and carries the birthmark thanks to Jonathan's DNA present in his body. While a slightly darker side of Giorno exists, resembling DIO's ruthlessness (albeit towards evil people), he retains a noble heart and desire to help innocents, closer to Jonathan's ideals.<br />
<br />
===Friends===<br />
<br />
*[[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]]: Jonathan's most loyal friend. An enemy at first, he later joined Jonathan on his quest after seeing the protagonist's dedication and courteous nature. In his later years, he founded The [[Speedwagon Foundation]], which has become the Joestar Family's most useful asset in battling Stand users and supernatural research.<br />
*[[Will Anthonio Zeppeli]]: Jonathan, upon meeting Zeppeli, was initially perplexed by his appearance and strange abilities. After Zeppeli explains his actions and the significance of the Ripple, Jonathan grows to trust Zeppeli completely and looks up to him as a mentor. Zeppeli eventually sacrifices himself to save Jonathan and transfers his energy and life force to him, moments before dying. Jonathan tearfully avenges Zeppeli by killing Tarkus.[[File:JonathanFriends.png|thumb|Jonathan's friends]]<br />
*[[Poco]]: As with the rest of his party, Jonathan felt it necessary to look after Poco during his battle against Dio and his undead army. He takes it upon himself to save [[Poco's Sister|Poco's sister]] during their infiltration of Dio's castle.<br />
*[[Tonpetty]]: Given the short time-sharing, their relationship was nothing more than a cordial respect and empathy with them over the death of Zeppeli.<br />
*[[Dire]]: Dire died too fast to exchange more than a few words with him. However, it is Jonathan who takes revenge on his hands against Dio.<br />
*[[Straizo]]: Given the short time-sharing, their relationship was nothing more than a cordial respect and empathy with them over the death of Zeppeli. However after Jonathan's death, it is Straizo who adopts the child that Jonathan's saves and gives to Erina and eventually teaches the child in the ways of the Ripple. Since Straizo's adoptive daughter married his son that would essentially make them brothers-in-law.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Dio Brando]]: In their childhood, Dio and Jonathan do not get along well due to Dio's antagonism towards Jonathan and his ability to both outshine him and ruin his relationships greatly. Years later at Hugh Hudson Academy, Jonathan is shown to have become friendly with Dio, though Jonathan still suspects that something is suspicious about Dio's behavior, while Dio had been plotting to take over the Joestar household. Their antagonism reaches a peak when Dio poisons, and later kills, Jonathan's father and transforms into a vampire. Regardless, both maintain some degree of respect towards one another, as shown when Jonathan suicidally attempts to pin Dio on a pointed statue as the Joestar mansion burned down & destroyed his body in their final battle, and Dio acknowledges Jonathan shortly before attempting to take over Jonathan's body. In the end, Jonathan failed to stop Dio and his body is possessed by him. Their relationship sparks a legacy that continues well into the future parts of the series.<br />
*[[Wang Chan]]: As the man who gave Dio the poison that was used to try and kill his father, Jonathan despised Wang Chan. Unlike Dio, Wang Chan had no respect for Jonathan and constantly insulted him. During his final battle with Dio, Jonathan used the last of his Ripple to kill Wang Chan and use his body to blow up the ship and Dio with it.<br />
*[[Tarkus]]: Jonathan was originally awestruck at Tarkus having learned of him in history books, but after he destroyed the remains of his comrade Bruford, Jonathan lost all respect for him. The two would later battle in a castle chained together and said battle would lead to Zeppeli's death, in anger and sadness Jonathan destroyed Tarkus.<br />
*[[Bruford]]: Like Tarkus, Jonathan highly respected Bruford due to his reputation as a great fighter and knight. After their battle, Bruford also grew to respect Jonathan and gave him his sword before his death.<br />
*[[Jack the Ripper]]: Because he was one of Dio's minions and an infamous serial killer, Jonathan knew Jack was a threat and had to be stopped. In the end, Jonathan destroyed Jack with his Ripple.<br />
<br />
===Relationships in Eyes of Heaven===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Video Game not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Giorno Giovanna]]: When the two are the same team, Giorno will ask Jonathan everything he knows about DIO. If victorious, Giorno will mention that DIO is his father, surprising Jonathan.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: At first it was upsetting that Jotaro referred to Jonathan as his ancestor. Later Jonathan felt in his heart that he was succeeding his own lineage, to the point of asking Jotaro to finish [[Heaven Ascension DIO]] in his place during the main story's final battle. Also, if Jotaro is Part 4 version, he mentioned to Jonathan's grandson and Jotaro's grandfather [[Joseph Joestar]].<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: Jonathan is impressed by Joseph's tactics and Ripple. He states that Old Joseph reminds him of his [[George Joestar I|father]].<br />
*[[Kars]]: Upon encountering him, Jonathan will recognize Kars as the one who created the Stone Masks and seeks to kill him and destroy the Stone Masks. Kars seeks to kill Jonathan simply because he is a Hamon user and later attempts to recruit him to his side, considering his death to be a waste.<br />
<br />
==Video Games==<br />
===[[GioGio's Bizarre Adventure]] (PS2)===<br />
Jonathan appears in the game's intro, along with Jotaro, Josuke and Joseph (Part 3) as part of an image of previous Joestars representing how Giorno inherited their "golden soul." Jonathan originally did not appear in this scene in the manga.<br />
<br />
This small appearance marks Jonathan's first appearance in video games media.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)]]===<br />
Jonathan is the main playable character in this game. Throughout the game the player will control many different versions of him with wildly differing movesets.<br />
<br />
The player starts off Story mode as Young Jonathan, defending Erina Pendleton from bullies harassing her. Here, his moveset only consists of punches and kicks. While in the manga Jonathan lost this fight, the game includes an alternate scene should the player defeat the bullies, where he helps Erina back up on her feet only for him to be struck back down when the bullies realize who he is. The second chapter features "Boxing Gear" Jonathan in a match with Dio, also without special moves. Much like the previous level, the player can change how the fight went from the manga by having Jonathan beat Dio, although the resultant scene has Dio turn everyone against Jonathan anyway by claiming Jonathan hit him with a rock. The last level played as young Jonathan is against young Dio, when Jonathan attacks Dio in a fury over what he did to Erina. The player moves on to the "adult" Jonathan chapters, and it is around the Ogre Street level that the player earns his "strong kick" special move. When the player fights a newly-made vampire Dio, Jonathan starts off with a spear, though he loses it afterward.<br />
<br />
The boss battle with Wang Chan allows players to use Jonathan's Ripple ability for the first time, allowing him to destroy zombie-type enemies. The player also earns the "Turquoise Blue Overdrive" special move to use against Bruford in the first underwater boss battle, and in the second phase of the battle, the player earns his Sunlight Yellow Overdrive super move. The player then moves on to playing as a shirtless Jonathan against Tarkus, with the added bonus of having a constantly regenerating Ripple meter thanks to Will A. Zeppeli passing on his Ripple ability to Jonathan. The closing stages of the game has Jonathan wielding the sword of LUCK & PLUCK as well as granting him the Scarlet Overdrive special as well. The very last level has the player use a fatally wounded and dying Jonathan, with very little health left and only enough energy for one last Ripple attack, in an attempt to recreate the final scene of Part 1.<br />
<br />
During EXTRA BATTLE and 77 RINGS KNIGHT MODE, Jonathan is playable with both "''Luck & Pluck''" and without it. His Tuxedo version is also playable, but it must be unlocked by beating the STORY MODE once.<br />
===[[Jump Ultimate Stars]] (Nintendo DS)===<br />
Jonathan appears as a support and help character in the game. His 2 Koma support summons him, after which he headbutts his target and performs a combo on them. His 3 Koma support involves him tossing Ripple roses at the enemy, striking them with LUCK & PLUCK and performing a Scarlet Overdrive on them. His help koma gives the character 1 SP bar more after being defeated.<br />
<br />
He serves as an ally boost with DIO, mocking his classic line "it's useless!" and Mutou Kazuki (from ''Busou Renkin''), by saying he feels the sun's power in Kazuki (since they need the sun's light in some of their attacks, Jonathan's Ripple and Kazuki's lance).<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]] (PS3)===<br />
Jonathan returns as a playable character in the PS3 game. He was confirmed along with Will Anthonio Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar. As a Ripple-user character (along with William, Joseph [Both Parts 2 and 3], Caesar, and Lisa Lisa), Jonathan can recharge his Heart Heat Gauge through "'''Ripple Breath'''" by holding down the Style button, performing a famous JoJo pose, as well as deliver enhanced versions of skills if Style is inputted in place of normal attack buttons.<br />
<br />
Jonathan's moveset mostly comprises of the Ripple-based moves he had used in the original manga.<br />
<br />
*'''Tackle''': Jonathan lunges forward shoulder-first. If not blocked, the opponent is sent into the stage wall. Every single one of Jonathan's skills can be performed instantly following this move, though Scarlet Overdrive has the best chance of landing.<br />
<br />
*'''Zoom Punch''': Jonathan extends his arm and punches at medium range, stunning the opponent and leaving them vulnerable. Every single one of Jonathan's skills can be performed instantly following this move. (Comboable)<br />
*'''Sendo Ripple Overdrive''': Jonathan shoots a wave of Ripple energy along the ground in a low attack. This skill deals more damage can knock the opponent into the air if Ripple-enhanced. (Ripple-enhanced Comboable)<br />
*'''Overdrive Barrage''': Jonathan slides forward and rapidly punches, finishing with a small uppercut. This move deals more damage and knocks the opponent into the air on the final hit if Ripple-enhanced (Ripple-enhanced Comboable). This move is able to initiate a Rush Mode struggle with Power-Type Stand users, making Jonathan the only non-Stand-Style character to be able to do so.<br />
*'''Scarlet Overdrive''': Jonathan delivers an instant short punch immediately followed by a flaming rising uppercut with the other hand in a classic "Shoryuken"-style move, doubling as an anti-air. This move cannot be Puttsun Cancelled once Jonathan leaves the ground. The opponent will fly higher and take more damage if Ripple-enhanced. (Comboable)<br />
*'''The Sword of Luck & Pluck''': Jonathan leaps forward, sword in both hands, and unleashes three wide swings, with the final, downward swing grounding the opponent. This first hit is a middle attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is crouching (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel). If the move is Ripple-enhanced, its damage is increased Jonathan can only be interrupted by Throws and HHA/GHA.<br />
*'''Throw - I will protect my father!''': Jonathan picks the opponent up by one hand, holds them over his head, and throws them to the ground.<br />
*'''Special - "This is my final Ripple!"''': Jonathan can spend a stock of his Heart Heat Gauge to perform this move, which allows him to rise again after his health hits zero, with increased attack power and defense as well as all of his skills permanently changing to their Ripple-enhanced variants, although his Heart Heat gauge is disabled entirely. If he's struck by [[Yoshikage Kira|"Kosaku Kawajiri's"]] GHA, [[Killer Queen#Killer Queen Bites the Dust|Bites The Dust]] when this skill is activated, Jonathan will lose its effects but regain his HHG in turn, assuming he has enough health to survive.<br />
*'''Heart Heat Attack - "Who'll be the last one standing?!"''': Jonathan's HHA is the variant of Scarlet Overdrive he used to defeat Dio in the closing stages of Part 1. Jonathan spins as his hands are engulfed in flames, before diving forward, both fists extended. If the opponent is hit, the two-handed strike will hit them in the abdomen. Jonathan then punches through his opponent with a fiery Ripple-charged fist to send them flying.<br />
*'''Great Heat Attack - Sunlight Yellow Overdrive''': Jonathan executes the very move that he used to defeat Bruford beginning with a very fast kick. If the kick lands, the opponent is hit in the abdomen, before Jonathan proceeds to pummel them at different angles and knocking them into the air, all while reciting his signature lines. After charging an immense amount of Ripple energy, Jonathan unleashes a rapid flurry of punches into the opponent as they fall towards him, ending with them spiraling away after a two-handed crossing punch.<br />
<br />
Jonathan has many alternate costumes, all taken from each of the 5 volume covers in which he appears. Besides the Part 1 characters, Jonathan has a special intro with DIO's Part 3 incarnation, where Jonathan expresses horror at Dio seemingly being alive again while DIO remarks on "JoJo"'s appearance before him possibly being "a challenge from the past."<br />
<br />
===[[J-Stars Victory Vs]] (PS3/PS3/PSV)===<br />
Jonathan is a playable character along with Joseph Joestar (''Part 2''), both representing the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' franchise in the game.<br />
<br />
Jonathan's moveset consists of most of his attacks featured in ''Part 1''. His main gameplay-style involves regular combos ending with his ''Sunlight Yellow Overdrive ''(it can be extended for more damage up to 49 hits), his ''Zoom Punch'' as a long range attack, a ranged variation of his ''Scarlet Overdrive'' wave on the floor and his ''Luck & Pluck ''sword return as a 3 Hit-Combo that can be used to inflict large amounts of damage. Aside from similar attacks from his ''All Star Battle's'' moveset, Jonathan's new moves include him using a Spear (the same one he used in the Joestar Mansion to fight Dio) and a charged dash attack that continues until he hits his target with his shoulder.<br />
<br />
His special move unleashes a stronger version of the ''Sunlight Yellow Overdrive'', following with a ''Scarlet Overdrive'' that launches the opponent away. Some of his famous JOJO poses appears as taunts and intro/victory poses.<br />
<br />
Jonathan's role during the ''Story Mode'' is limited to quick appearances. During Toriko's team arc, the player takes control of the duo ''[[wikia:Gintama:Gintoki Sakata|Gintoki Sakata]]'' (from the ''GINTAMA'' franchise) and ''[[wikia:onepiece:Boa Hancock|Boa Hancock]]'' (from the ''ONE PIECE'' franchise), as they both claim to have seen a person walking across the water towards their direction. The person is revealed to be Jonathan, who challenges the player's team, claiming that he's training to defeat Dio (likely a reference to Zeppeli's Ripple training, when they followed Poco by running over the water). After the battle, Jonathan appears surprised he lost the match and says he still needs more training, then introduces himself by saying "''My name is Jonathan....Jonathan Joestar.''"<br />
<br />
Jonathan's color scheme is the same one from the TV Anime series. Both Jonathan and [[wikia:saintseiya:Seiya|Seiya]] (from the ''SAINT SEIYA'' franchise) share the same battle theme, called "''Brave Soldiers''".<br />
<br />
He also makes brief appearances in the game's opening sequence, as he can be seen alongside other Jump heroes, and at some point watches Gintoki race against Ryotsu (from ''KOCHI-KAME'' franchise).<br />
<br />
Despite not having any specific conversation or interaction with Joseph, they both appear as rivals in one of the promotional videos for the western version of the game, J-Stars Victory Vs +, with their battle titled "WHEN GRANDSON MEETS HIS GRANDFATHER!". Oddly enough, the trailer begs the question "IS THE FLAME OF YOUTH STRONGER THAN THE WISDOM OF AGE?", which erroneously implies that Jonathan, as Joseph's grandfather, is much older than him, as well as alive by the time Joseph is 18 years old, rather than the game's incarnation of him being only two years older than his grandson as the two are from completely different time periods.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Shooters]] (Android/iOS)===<br />
Jonathan is one of the first 3 available characters the player must choose to be his first team leader (alongside Joseph and Jotaro). Several of Jonathan's appearances appear as Medal Strikers.<br />
<br />
Jonathan's FINISH move consists of an animation wherein he strikes his enemy with several punches in a second while his Special Level 3 Leader ability has him use Scarlet Overdrive on all enemies on the field.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven]] (PS3/PS4)===<br />
Jonathan was confirmed for the game alongside Zeppeli and Speedwagon.<br />
<br />
Most of his moveset and character model remains the same from ''All Star Battle''. New additions to Jonathan's attacks includes him using the spear he attacked Dio with shortly after his transformation as a Powerful Attack. Several of his new combos and sidesteps are now based on his boxing skills (displayed during his childhood in ''Part 1'').<br />
<br />
As a Ripple User, Jonathan has a '''Ripple Gauge''' that determines the strength of his attacks. Filling up the gauge will automatically empower his Normal and Powerful Attacks, and enhance/alter the properties of all his skills. It will also shorten the cooldown time on said skills. Using skills will drain a portion of the Ripple Gauge until there's an insufficient amount to use.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Ripple Breathing''': Jonathan performs a pose and Ripple Breathes, filling up the Ripple Gauge. He cannot move and is vulnerable to attacks while doing so.<br />
*'''Zoom Punch!''': Jonathan slides forward and extends his arm to punch at medium range, dealing medium damage to opponents. If Ripple-enhanced, the skill will execute quicker and allow Jonathan to combo from it (Ripple-enhanced Comboable).<br />
*'''Overdrive Barrage!''': Jonathan slides forward and unleashes a short flurry of punches ending in an uppercut. The last hit will send opponents flying. If Ripple-enhanced, the skill will execute quicker, unleash more punches, and receive a damage boost. The skill can be used in mid-air, and its damage is dependent on the how much of the Ripple Gauge is filled.<br />
*'''Sendo Ripple Overdrive!''': Jonathan punches the ground and sends his Ripple spreading out over a wide area, damaging and crumpling opponents caught. If Ripple-enhanced, the skill will execute quicker, have a larger area of effect, and receive a damage boost.<br />
*'''Who'll be the Last One Standing!''': Jonathan spins as his hands are engulfed in flames, before diving forward, both fists extended. If the opponent is hit, the two-handed strike will hit them in the abdomen. Jonathan then pulls one fist back before punching them off, sending the opponent flying as he briefly turns down and looks down. If Ripple-enhanced, the skill make Jonathan invincible during its execution, receive a damage boost, and the speed and distance of the dive is increased. The skill's damage is dependent on how much of the Ripple Gauge is filled.<br />
*'''EX - Sendo Ripple Overdrive!''': Jonathan will be invincible when first executing the skill. The Ripple will be unblockable, and Jonathan's recovery time from the skill is reduced as well, allowing him to combo from it. This is in addition to other benefits granted by the Ripple Gauge.<br />
*'''EX - Who'll be the Last One Standing!''': The skill will execute even quicker than when Ripple-enhanced, will increase the speed and distance of the dive, make Jonathan invincible while he is diving, and receive a damage boost. This is in addition to the damage benefits granted by the Ripple Gauge.<br />
*'''Trait - My final Ripple...''': When Jonathan health hits zero for the first time, if his partner is still alive, he will be granted a decent portion of continuously draining health to continue on it. All attacks and skills are unusable, leaving Jonathan with a special final attack in which he attacks with crossed fingers, dealing considerable damage. Once his health reaches zero once more, or if he successfully lands his final attack, Jonathan will then fall permanently.<br />
<br />
=====JoJolities=====<br />
<br />
*'''One-in-a-Million Potential''': Jonathan must completely fill his Ripple Gauge. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Father! Grant me your final power!''': Jonathan must connect a Powerful Attack as the third step in a mid-air combo. (200 Points)<br />
*'''I want to become a true gentleman!''': Jonathan must successfully execute 5 Combo Breakers. (300 Points)<br />
*'''I'll knock you until you cry like a little girl!''': Jonathan must achieve a collective hit count of 200. (500 Points)<br />
*'''Own your fear!''': Jonathan must Retire an enemy with a Dual Heal Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
=====Dual Heat Attacks=====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo - Sunlight Yellow Overdrive!''': It works the same as the one from ''All Star Battle'', however, most of the speech is removed in favor of several grunts.<br />
*'''With Zeppeli - "Here comes my Hamon!"''': The two of them attack the opponent's head, sequentially with a Ripple-charged Zoom Punch from Jonathan and a Sendo Wave Kick from Zeppeli, before they charge up and run up to the opponent and unleash a double Sendo Ripple Overdrive-enhanced Zoom Punch into them, the two reciting the phrase commonly associated with Overdrives.<br />
<br />
Unlike the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|previous game]], Jonathan's main color scheme is now based on his [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|anime]] appearance.<br />
<br />
If fighting against Kars, Jonathan will realize he created the Stone Mask that caused his life so much misery and in his victory quote he states Kars will pay for what he has done. He might also be left in shock at Kars' status as neither zombie nor vampire. This applies to the rest of the Pillar Men.<br />
<br />
====Tournament====<br />
He is paired with DIO in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, defeating Zeppeli and [[Koichi Hirose]] in the first round and [[Wamuu]] and [[N'Doul]] in the second. In the semifinals, they defeated [[Mariah]] and [[Esidisi]] in the first round, but were eliminated by [[Kars]] and [[Pet Shop]] in the second.<br />

===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Records]] (Android/iOS)===<br />
Jonathan is a playable character in the game with many different unlockable statues that are ''Courage'' or ''Unity'' types.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*In [[Weekly Shonen Jump|Jump]] Comics Volume 1, there is a typographical error where Jonathan uses the line {{nihongo|何をするだァーッ|Nani o suru da}} instead of {{nihongo|何をするんだァーッ|Nani o surun da}}. This error was not fixed for 15 years until the 66th printing and has since then been replicated in other works such as [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)|Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)]] and [[All Star Battle]].<br />
*According to an interview with Araki, Jonathan's name was inspired by a family restaurant, "Jonathan's," at which he and his editor would frequently meet late at night to discuss ideas.<ref name="pbps2">[http://jburogu-godzillaradio.blogspot.com/2012/01/video-subbing-manga-artist-araki.html 20th Anniversary Interview with Araki.]</ref><br />
*According to JOJO A-GO!GO!, the ability DIO uses during ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', to create a vision on a crystal ball, is actually a Stand power which awoke in Jonathan's body.<ref>''[[JOJO A-GO!GO!]]'' Stand Dictionary appendix note, p.33</ref><br />
*Jonathan has a similar appearance and physique to ''[[wiki:Fist_of_the_North_Star|Hokuto no Ken]]''<nowiki/>'s [[wikia:hokuto:Kenshiro|Kenshiro]].<br />
*Araki stated in [[JoJonium]] Vol. 1 that Jonathan was difficult for him to design. He wanted to create a "first Joestar" that could function as a symbol of purity and dignity rather than a unique, fresh character. However, there were limitations on how he could write the character due to being a "symbol of justice", so Araki found himself unsure where to take the character.<ref>[[JoJonium/Special Interviews]] Volume 1</ref><br />
*Jonathan is the only character to appear in every chapter of the respective part they were introduced in, as he is in every chapter of ''[[Phantom Blood]]''.<br />
*Due to the concept of the [[Joestar Birthmark]] not being introduced until ''Stardust Crusaders'', Jonathan is not shown to have it in the manga. Later adaptations do show Jonathan's birthmark, such as the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|2000 OVA]] during the flashback showing Jonathan's death, or the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|2012 anime]] when he defeats Tarkus.<br />

{{quote|By the name of God, I will '''smite you'''!|Enrico Pucci}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Enrico Pucci'''|エンリコ・プッチ|Enriko Putchi}} is the main antagonist of ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
A loyal follower and friend of [[Dio Brando|DIO]], Pucci aspires to implement a plan long formulated by DIO to "achieve heaven". Working as a {{W|Chaplain|chaplain}} at [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], he secretly frames [[Jolyne Cujoh]] and uses her as bait to lure [[Jotaro Kujo]] and his memories of [[DIO's Diary]].<br />
<br />
Pucci is a [[Stand]] User and manipulates the mind and soul through his Stand, [[Whitesnake]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Pucci is a dark-skinned man of average to above-average height and slim to fit build.<br />
<br />
Pucci has very short white hair with shaved lines forming two elongated hexagons of hair between his scalp and his temples, each joining the corresponding eyebrow with a zig-zagging strand of hair. In early depictions, the other side of these hexagons joined the rest of the hair with another zig-zagging strand of hair and shaved lines formed a triangle behind each ear in a way that the larger mass of hair formed a large plus sign on the back of his head. Later depictions have the shaved lines of each hexagon joining and going to the base of his skull by forming a one-chevron line. He has thin sideburns, spreading at the edge of the middle of his jaw.<br />
<br />
In early depictions, his irises had a plus sign shaped star design which changed into a solid color incomplete disk, missing a circular section either on the left or the right side.<br />
<br />
Pucci wears a slim, black gown, in the style of a priest's vestment. A gold cross is printed on top, spanning his chest and running his length, with two golden double crosses at the wrists of his sleeves. The gown is accompanied with an $800<ref>''SO Chapter 49: [[SO Chapter 49|Flash Flood Warning, Part 2]]''</ref> pair of pants and some loafers. He later added a belt over his gown.<br />
<br />
===Pucci of the New Moon===<br />
After uniting with [[the Green Baby]], Pucci's appearance takes a number of superficial changes.<br />
<br />
Strands of hair join to his eyebrows, forming a five-pointed star on his forehead and his right sideburn join with it. His hair changes design with three shaved lines going from his left temple to the base of his skull. He grows ponytails or dreadlocks, which thread through the holes of his collar.<br />
<br />
In early depictions, like the Green Baby, his eyelashes grow into spikes and his skin has lines going over it and he replaces his previous belt with a much larger double belt, and his wrists now have golden bands. He has five ponytails, his sideburn has 4 lines going to his eyebrows with one going to the left eyebrow and the shaved lines follow the top of his scalp.<br />
<br />
Later depictions have only 3 ponytails, 3 lines joining his sideburn to his right eyebrow and the shaved lines following his left temple.<br />

==Personality==<br />
{{quote|''2... 3... 5... 7... 11... 13...''|Pucci counting off prime numbers to calm himself}}<br />
The priest Enrico Pucci is a fanatic committed to a heretical notion of God's will and to [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s plan.<br />
<br />
As a teenager, Enrico Pucci was a good-hearted man, who tried the best he could to follow his faith as a future priest. Even then, Pucci was already interested in Fate as he was curious as to why he lived while his twin brother Domenico Pucci died. These interrogations were what made him want to become a priest and seek answers.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 127}}, p.16</ref> When a tragic series of events led to the suicide of his beloved sister [[Perla Pucci|Perla]], Pucci fell into despair and then went to see DIO, whom he encountered before.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SO Chapter 127}}{{Ch|SO Chapter 128}}<br />
<br />
{{Ch|SO Chapter 129}}<br />
</ref><br />
<br />
Enrico Pucci then became a radical believer after frequenting DIO, whose principal credo was that humans were helpless before many forces which ruled the Universe. Among these forces, God's will and Fate -which Pucci dubs "Gravity"- were the most brought up. Pucci's backstory, full of near-impossible coincidences and twists of fate and Perla's death whose responsibility couldn't be pinned on anybody, in particular, were the probable inceptions of this belief.<ref name=":0" /> Prone to chitchat, a lingering effect of his many discussions with DIO, Pucci often brings multiple random trivia to drive his point: observing [[Miraschon]] try to steal a golden cross, Pucci explained how Miraschon couldn't escape her nature;<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}, p15</ref> similarly, Pucci explained to Jolyne how a certain species of reckless swallows died young because they didn't realize their limits, and used this as a metaphor for the Joestar bloodline.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 94}}, p8</ref> Mixing this belief with DIO's plan to "attain Heaven", Pucci sought to make every human know their fated paths via Made in Heaven's power, and give them the "resolution" to accept their destiny, calling it true "happiness". Essentially, Pucci wished that humans realized that they couldn't fight Fate and make them at peace with their status as subordinates of Fate.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 157}}, p8-10</ref><br />
<br />
In his quest for attaining Heaven, Pucci used many immoral methods including murder, manipulation, and bribery. Pucci was particularly callous about human lives, considering that he worked for the greater good anyway and that these sacrifices were insignificant. DIO's plan notably included the sacrifice of 36 human lives, and Pucci also sought to murder anyone who would cross his path, even Emporio Alniño who was a helpless child, or used minions he would recruit with manipulation or promises of favors as the priest of Green Dolphin Street. Underhanded tactics are not beneath him: Pucci favors imposing cruel choices to his enemies, for instance throwing Jotaro's Memory DISC into the dying Anasui,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 94}}, p19</ref> and asking Jolyne whether she wants to stop him or save Jotaro, as the DISC will disappear if Anasui dies and her father as a result, and Pucci would drive Jotaro through a similar choice in his final battle.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 154}}, p6-8</ref><br />
<br />
Generally, Pucci is a rather immoral person, having no qualm being violent (his first appearance has him smashing Miraschon face-first into the edge of a cabinet after discovering a theft)<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}, p13</ref> or collaborating with various criminals, viewing them as tools to further his plans. As a fanatic, Pucci neither enjoys nor dislikes the numerous immoral acts he commits, being focused on his plan above all. As DIO planned for, his friend Pucci doesn't take any interest whatsoever in worldly concerns such as wealth or sex, and his only drives are his friendship with DIO and his belief,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 96}}, p8</ref> although, during their first meeting, DIO noticed a burgeoning evil in the priest who was reading a book about a clergyman committing adultery and running from his office to become an artist.<ref name=":0" /> In his goal to obtain DIO's plans, he sacrificed Johngalli A, the only one of his original allies left and DIO's son Donatello. His twin brother [[Weather Report|Wes]] told him when he regained his memory, that he was "the worst evil: an evil man who didn't know that he was evil".<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 136}}, p10</ref><br />
<br />
A rather reserved priest, Pucci became more and more exalted as the plan neared its completion, having occasional outbursts of enthusiasm and celebrating the Green Baby's conception. Prior to acquiring Made in Heaven, Pucci was an anxious person and used to recite the prime numbers,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 49}}, p7</ref> which calmed him thanks to their indivisibility. Upon unlocking it, however, Pucci became supremely confident, and began to express his emotions more freely, exasperated at Jolyne's persistence to resist him and angrily shout her name.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 155}}, p6</ref> <br />
<br />
Interestingly, Pucci's first Stand [[Whitesnake]] possesses its own personality which can be described as scornful and vicious. Whitesnake vocalizes Pucci's inner emotions more freely than its user, notably his anger.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{See also|Whitesnake|C-Moon|Made in Heaven}}Pucci develops two [[Stand]]s other than his original during the course of ''Part 6''.<br />
<br />
Whitesnake is Pucci's basic Stand, with which he may steal up to two [[DISC]]s from individuals, one DISC contains the Stand of the target while the other DISC contains the target's memories.<br />
<br />
Pucci develops C-Moon with the instructions in [[DIO's Diary]] and with [[DIO's Bone]], which manipulates gravity.<br />
<br />
Pucci develops Made in Heaven with further instructions in DIO's Diary, which steadily increases the speed of time.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Early life===<br />
{{quote|''Humans should spend their lives trying to attain ''''Heaven''''.''|Enrico Pucci}}<br />
Pucci was born with a disfigured left foot, though this apparently did not hinder his ability to walk. Having descended from an influential Italian family, he grew up with a wealthy upbringing and was well-liked by everyone. Raised as a Roman Catholic, he was already on the path of priesthood at the age of fifteen, an action allowed by his parents due to his family's religious history. One day while sweeping the floors, he stumbled upon [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s feet underneath a table. Curious, he conversed with DIO, and though he was alarmed when DIO grasped his twisted foot, he didn't think it was anything special. It wasn't until Pucci removed his shoe that he noticed his foot had been healed.<br />
<br />
Around the same time, a woman, in tears, came to the confessional booth, pleading to be heard. Choosing to listen in the absent priest's place, he heard how this woman had switched her [[Minor Characters#Wes Bluemarine|sickly baby]] with another family's {{W|Mixed twins|fraternal twin}}. When he asked what the family name was, he was shocked to discover it was Pucci. Not long afterward, his sister, [[Perla Pucci|Perla]], fell in love with a part-time worker named [[Weather Report|Wes Bluemarine]]. The man his sister was dating was actually his thought-to-be-dead twin brother. Despite his discovery, Pucci is unable to tell anyone due to his priestly obligation to preserve the privacy of confessions.<br />
<br />
In order to protect his sister from knowing of the incest, Pucci secretly hired a P.I. group to force Wes and Perla to break up. However, he was unaware that the P.I. group held the beliefs of the {{w|Ku Klux Klan|KKK}}, who discovered that Wes' presumed father was an African American and proceeded to lynch Wes. Wes was shot and hung from a noose over a cliff while Perla was beaten. The morning afterward, Pucci discovered Perla's corpse from her suicide and cradled her body in sadness. He noticed a DISC emerging from her head, due to DIO's influence with the [[Bow and Arrow|Stand Arrow]]. Pucci wanted to follow DIO, enticed by his words, but not before tying up all the loose ends to his past. He approaches the post-traumatic Wes, who was furious at Pucci's interference in his relationship with Perla, and quickly told him they were brothers before removing Wes's memory DISC from him. Wes then adopted the name Weather Report to compensate for not having a name.<br />
<br />
Pucci spent the remainder of that year with DIO. From him, he learned the "ingredients" needed to formulate the "perfect world". DIO grew to trust Pucci entirely, and gave him one of [[DIO's Bone|his finger bones]] as a remaining fragment should he die. The remaining years of Pucci's life were driven by his obsession with this promised land, and he waited for the preparation of the said day. To increase his mobility, he finished his priesthood and became a Father to those in need. He allied with Johngalli A in a plan to avenge DIO by killing Jotaro and his daughter Jolyne and complete DIO's plans. Determined to fulfill DIO's prophecy, he secured a job at [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], where he spent the next 8 years as the head priest and had since then become the longest residing employee of the prison.<ref name="SOC87" /><br />
<br />
===Stone Ocean===<br />
<br />
<br />
====The Framing of Jolyne Cujoh====<br />
To fulfill DIO's secret plan, Pucci needs the hidden instructions contained within [[DIO's Diary]], but [[Jotaro Kujo]] has burned it down. However, Pucci knows that Jotaro must have read the diary. To recover the instructions and avenge DIO, Pucci and [[Johngalli A]] devise a plan to lure Jotaro into their prison. <br />
<br />
As the one known criminal, Johngalli A openly acts by ordering thugs to throw a hitchhiker into the car [[Romeo Jisso]] and [[Jolyne Cujoh]], Jotaro's daughter, were riding in. Johngalli A then directly hired a corrupt lawyer to protect Romeo and frame Jolyne for manslaughter with aggravating circumstances which would guarantee her transfer to [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]]. That way, Jotaro would investigate the circumstances and try to meet Jolyne in prison.<br />
<br />
When Jotaro eventually visits Jolyne, Pucci cooperates with Johngalli A. to eliminate him. After a long-range shot against Jolyne, Pucci has [[Whitesnake]] trap the two inside a delusional combat scenario, from which both of them eventually escape. The family freeing themselves from Whitesnake's spell is unexpected but, at a corridor, Johngalli A. and Whitesnake manage to surround Jotaro and force him to protect his daughter. It is this moment that Whitesnake steals two [[DISC]]s from Jotaro, his Stand disc, and his memory disc.<br />
<br />
At this moment, Pucci decides to get rid of Johngalli A. by first letting Jolyne defeat him. Then Pucci has Whitesnake finish off the sniper with a gun so his secret identity won't be found.<ref name="SOC11-19">''SO Chapters 11-19: [[The Visitor (story arc)|The Visitor]]''</ref><br />
<br />
With Jolyne Cujoh being thrown into solitary confinement, Pucci has several weeks of free move. During that time, he looks into Jotaro's memories to discover DIO's plan. Moreover, having no use for Jotaro's Star Platinum disc, he stores it in his secret stash in the farm fields. He also gives [[Thunder McQueen]] a Stand, [[Highway to Hell]].<br />
<br />
====Jotaro's Memory Disc====<br />
After the battle between Jolyne, [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], Pucci participates in the search for the missing prisoners who were killed during said battle and notes that his whole stash of discs has been taken and there is no sign of Foo Fighters. He concludes that Jolyne is a more dangerous foe than he previously thought and that she's gathered allies.<br />
<br />
To assassinate Jolyne and her allies, he decides to use Miraschon, whom he has promised parole and gives her the Stand [[Marilyn Manson]]. However, Miraschon fails at assassinating anyone and is defeated.<ref name="SOC34-39">''SO Chapters 34-39: [[Marilyn Manson, The Debt Collector (story arc)|Marilyn Manson, The Debt Collector]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Later, Pucci intercepts Jolyne's phone call to the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] and knows that she intends to deliver the Star Platinum disc to them. Wanting to prevent that, Pucci dispatches [[Lang Rangler]] to kill Jolyne before she can reach the courtyard between the men and women's wards. However, Lang is defeated.<ref name="SOC44-47">''SO Chapters 44-47: [[Savage Garden Strategy (story arc)|Savage Garden Strategy]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Deciding to check on Lang, Pucci accidentally meets Jolyne about the open the door to the courtyard. Since Jolyne doesn't know he is the enemy, she peacefully begs him to grant her a moment in the courtyard. Having discerned the presence of one of Jolyne's allies near him, he prefers to keep his cover and allows Jolyne to pass. However, he uses Whitesnake to command a guard to stand in the courtyard, who shoots Jolyne on his orders.<br />
<br />
Although Jolyne is on the ground, Weather Report intervenes by making it rain poisonous rainforest frogs. Pucci is trapped by the rain near the courtyard and sends in Whitesnake to retrieve the disc which was lost during the chaos. Although Whitesnake finds the disc, Jolyne snatches it first and gives it to a messenger pigeon used by the Speedwagon Foundation. The pigeon flies away with the disc and Pucci fails, only angrily commenting that the Stand disc alone won't be enough to revive Jotaro.<ref>[[Flash Flood Warning (story arc)]]</ref><br />
<br />
====The Green Baby====<br />
Pucci then carries on to his original plan and meets [[Sports Maxx]] at the chapel. He then asks Maxx to revive [[DIO's Bone]] with his powers, which results in the bone's disappearance. After a short moment of panic, Pucci understands that the plan is being carried out and resolves to wait for the bone to reappear of its own volition. However, Sports Maxx reveals that he senses the bone's presence in the maximum security ward.<br />
<br />
After Ermes' battle against Sports Maxx, Jolyne is thrown into the maximum security ward. Pucci decides to send in four assassins to kill the isolated Jolyne before she retrieves the bone.<ref>SO Chapter 60, [[SO Chapter 60|The Secret of Guard Westwood (1)]]</ref><br />
<br />
Nonetheless, three of the assassins are dispatched and only [[D an G]] is left. When Pucci arrives at the maximum security ward, the whole population has been transformed into a giant tree, with only D an G and Guccio still alive, but injured. Meanwhile, Jolyne and Narciso Anasui have escaped into the swamp. Pucci plans on interrogating D an G about the bone, but his plans are thrown into disarray.<br />
<br />
Pucci is spotted by Foo Fighters who guesses that he is the hidden enemy behind the assassination attempts. There is a battle between the two of them, as Pucci tries to stop Foo Fighters from killing D an G. Whitesnake threatens several times to steal its Stand disc, but Foo Fighters slips away several times, albeit in dire need of water. Pucci ultimately baits Foo Fighters into using a sink, where he uses one of Whitesnake's stand discs, causing the sink to spray boiling water, severely injuring Foo Fighters. However, Foo Fighters had enough time to call Weather Report, who creates heavy rain and fog to allow Foo Fighters to regenerate and escape Pucci.<ref>[[F.F. - The Witness (story arc)]]</ref><ref>[[Whitesnake - The Pursuer (story arc)]]</ref><br />
<br />
Nonetheless, Pucci disguises Whitesnake as Weather Report and fools Foo Fighters, who brings him to Jolyne and [[The Green Baby]]. Whitesnake impales Anasui and Foo Fighters, but Jolyne cuffs herself to Pucci. Despite his powers, Pucci is overwhelmed and must use Jotaro's memory disc. He throws the disc into Anasui's dying corpse, forcing her to try to save him while Pucci finally rejoins the Green Baby.<ref>[[SO Chapter 94]], Time for Heaven</ref> Pucci tells the baby a secret password which results in their fusion. Pucci has now entered DIO's world.<ref>[[SO Chapter 95]]: New Moon! New Priest!</ref> Having no more need for the prison, Pucci leaves for Cape Canaveral where the next stage of his plan will be set in motion.<ref>[[SO Chapter 96]]: Jail House Lock (1)</ref><br />
<br />
====Waiting for the New Moon====<br />
Pucci must now reach Cape Canaveral and await the new moon, which will enable Pucci to fulfill the next part of DIO's plan. On the way to Cape Canaveral, Pucci fatefully meets three young men: [[Ungalo]], [[Rikiel]] and [[Donatello Versus]]. All three were brought to a hospital, near which Pucci is taken hostage by Ungalo. However, Pucci ultimately sways Ungalo to his side and then makes all three men realize that they are the sons of DIO, and helps them awaken and master their respective Stands. Pucci spends the next three days waiting with the bedridden Donatello while Ungalo and Rikiel go confront the Joestar Group.<br />
Two days before the new moon, Jolyne and Ermes manage to reach the hospital. Donatello then awakens [[Under World]] and lures the two into a cavern where a fight ensues. During the battle, Pucci stays passive and counsels Donatello, who grows increasingly frustrated at Pucci's perceived scorn. DIO's son steals Weather Report's memory disc and when he is defeated, he gives it to Weather who was near the hospital, angering Pucci.<br />
[[Heavy Weather]]'s power begins to wreak havoc in Orlando, and Pucci is forced to flee in order to eliminate Weather Report. At the same time, Weather has regained his memory and his hatred for Pucci. In the streets, Pucci finally ambushes Weather and Anasui. To avoid Heavy Weather, Pucci makes himself blind and manages to grab Anasui, using him as his eyes. After a brief violent fight, Weather Report corners Pucci and almost kills him. However, a car incidentally crashes into the two twins.<br />
Pucci manages to stab Weather in the heart, while secretly using Whitesnake to extract his Stand disc. To escape he also disguises Donatello into himself, luring Jolyne away while he escapes to Cape Canaveral.<br />
<br />
In Cape Canaveral, Pucci begins to feel his Stand turning into something else entirely. He eventually awakens [[C-Moon]], which manipulates the surrounding gravity, and Pucci becomes the center of a gravitic anomaly. When the Joestar Group and Ermes arrive at Cape Canaveral, Pucci hides and sends C-Moon battle them. Although C-Moon proves to be dangerous, Jolyne's experience allows her to take advantage. Pucci is forced to reveal himself and personally pilot it. Using himself, he puts Jolyne at a disadvantage and has C-Moon strike Jolyne at the heart. Jolyne "falls" away from him, and Pucci is sure of his victory.<br />
<br />
However, Jolyne survived thanks to Stone Free and continues to battle him. Pucci grabs a gun, but Jotaro Kujo freezes time and uses his stand to punch Pucci. Jotaro and Ermes have rejoined with the group and Pucci finds himself cornered.<br />
<br />
At this moment, he realizes that his condition allows him to recreate the exact environmental conditions needed to awaken the ultimate power. Pucci gravitates to a space shuttle, even avoiding a spear thrown by Jotaro, thanks to a lingering ability to move in the time-stop, and subsequently evolves his Stand further. The priest now commands [[Made in Heaven]] and begins the next step of his plan. Pucci accelerates time, causing chaos across the earth as all living beings are left lagging behind.<br />
Pucci's time acceleration gives him a great edge in battle, but Star Platinum's time-stop still represents a danger. Pucci carefully corners the group on a roof but his attempt to slit Jotaro's throat is thwarted by Anasui's Diver Down which takes the brunt of the damage. The group then makes the mistake of going into the sea, where the waves allow Pucci to hide. During his second attempt, Pucci manages to force Jotaro in another dilemma and kills him by splitting his face in two. He quickly kills Ermes and Anasui, but Jolyne confronts him a final time which results in Emporio managing to escape. During the struggle, Jolyne manages to cut Pucci's left eye. Nonetheless, he finishes her off and Pucci brings about the end of the universe.<br />
<br />
====A New Universe====<br />
[[File:PucciUniverse.png|thumb|Pucci recreating the Universe]]A new universe is born in which every person has received precognitive abilities for the purpose of accepting their fate. However, the only obstacle that remained in his way is [[Emporio Alniño]]. Thus, Pucci stops the acceleration at the time of Jotaro's visit to the prison in order to prevent Emporio from interfering and eventually grow into yet another threat. Chasing the child throughout the [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] of his alternate universe, Pucci explains his beliefs and eventually corners him in his [[Burning Down the House|ghost room]]. However, when Emporio flees through the crack leading to the ghost room, Pucci inadvertently pushes the [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]] [[DISC]] into Emporio who exploited the blind angle created when Jolyne cut his right eye.<br />
Emporio now has the power to fight Pucci. The priest accelerates time, but collapses to the ground; Emporio has manipulated the oxygen level of the atmosphere and turned Pucci's power against him by accelerating his oxygen poisoning. Pucci angrily demands that Emporio stop Weather Report from killing him, saying that his ideal world for humanity's happiness would be ruined, only to be told by Emporio that he lost to "fate" and that it's the true path of justice before finally being beaten to death by Weather Report. His universe then resets into an [[Alternate Universe|alternate timeline]], in which [[Irene|Jolyne]] [[Annakiss|and company]] meet up coincidentally and the [[Joestar Family|Joestar bloodline]] survives. It is unknown what happened to Pucci afterward, it may either imply that he has been erased in the alternative universe or might have been "revived" with an alternate counterpart of his own.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
<br />
<br />
===Allies===<br />
<br />
*[[Dio Brando|DIO]]: DIO's encounter with Pucci is presumably the most prominent example of humanity displayed by him, having healed Pucci's foot when they first meet. Through the time he spends with Pucci, DIO comes to trust him enough to allow Pucci to inherit control of his plan. At one point, DIO forced Pucci's hand into his head and nearly had his Stand DISC removed to test Pucci's loyalty to him.<br />
<br />
*[[Johngalli A]]: Pucci had allied with Johngalli A to kill Jotaro and his daughter to avenge DIO. Despite their alliance, Pucci later betrayed Johngalli A and killed him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Pucci harbored a grudge against Jotaro for having killed DIO. However, Jotaro was unaware of Pucci's existence until the end of Stone Ocean. Pucci took his revenge by stealing both Jotaro's memories and Stand to let his lifeless corpse rot away, but nonetheless knew he was a dangerous Stand user, thus took every precaution against him. Pucci ultimately killed Jotaro in Florida.<br />
*[[Jolyne Cujoh]]: To Pucci, he only saw her as bait at first in order to get to Jotaro but proved to be a bigger threat upon her determination on getting her father's Stand and memory disks. They became enemies right away once informed that [[Whitesnake]] was, in fact, Pucci and was eager to take his life but Pucci proved himself to be a lot more challenging when he threw her father's memories into a dying Anasui which gave Pucci the edge of achieving victory. Jolyne became more than determined in stopping him and putting an end to his plans but her efforts would soon be fatal while she almost fell to Pucci's newly evolved [[C-Moon]] and would finally fall to his [[Made In Heaven]] while protecting Emporio, but has managed to cut the right side of his eye before dying.<br />
*[[Emporio Alniño]]: After Pucci murdered his mother, Emporio was aware of his villainy and feared him. Originally Pucci did not think much of Emporio due to his age, but would later regret his decision to not kill him as Emporio would later kill him and destroy his plans once and for all.<br />
<br />
=== Relationships in [[Eyes of Heaven]]===<br />
<sup>(The information below derives from a Video Game not written by Araki. As such, it may not be considered canon.)</sup><br />
<br />
*[[Heaven Ascension DIO]]: Pucci was as loyal to Ascension DIO as he was to regular DIO.<br />

<br />
==Video Games==<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Pucci makes his first video game appearance in ''All Star Battle'' and is the only villain playable from ''[[Stone Ocean|Part 6]]'', voiced by Shou Hayami, who had voiced another follower of DIO, [[Vanilla Ice]] in the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Capcom fighting game]]. He was confirmed for the game alongside Dio Brando (''Part 1'').<br />
<br />
Along with Hol Horse, Kosaku-Kira, Johnny Joestar, Koichi Hirose and Giorno Giovanna, Pucci is a character who can utilize more than one Stand during a match as part of his moveset and is the only character who can utilize three Stands. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "''Stand''" Style, Pucci can turn his Stands on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the '''Stand Rush''' ability returning from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Capcom game]], being able to attack in conjunction with C-Moon only.<br />
<br />
Available to Pucci at all times, regardless of his current Stand:<br />
<br />
*'''Pierced through the finger''': Having stuck a cross under his index finger's nail, Pucci stabs with it at slightly enhanced ranged. Pucci's moves can be performed instantly following this move. (Comboable)<br />
*'''I order you!''': Pucci throws a DISC at the opponent as a projectile. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
*'''Throw - Weep at your own weakness!''': Pucci grabs the opponent by the neck and slams their face into his knee, before throwing them away.<br />
<br />
====Whitesnake====<br />
Pucci begins the battle with Whitesnake.<br />
<br />
*'''Green Baby Gauge''': Exclusive to Pucci and relevant to him for as long as he has Whitesnake. 14 rhombus units are displayed above the Heart Heat Gauge. When one is filled, it turns from grey-white to purple, and filling all of them up will evolve Whitesnake into C-Moon.<br />
<br />
While Whitesnake is off:<br />
<br />
*'''14 words''': Pucci pulls out the Green Baby and begins speaking the fourteen words to it in order to progress towards evolving Whitesnake into C-Moon. When this skill is activated, some of the HHG is consumed, but subsequent words spoken to the baby within the same use do not expend any of the HHG. Pucci is left open to attack while this skill is in effect, but can Puttsun Cancel to reduce this weakness.<br />
*'''You shall be crucified!''': Pucci summons Whitesnake to chop at the opponent. If it connects, the opponent is knocked down, and Whitesnake chops them again. This move cannot be Cancelled once Whitesnake begins its second chop. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
<br />
While Whitesnake is on:<br />
<br />
*'''Die!''': Whitesnake lashes out at the opponent in a 5-hit combo, leaving them crumpling. This move is shared with C-Moon. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
*'''It's mine!''': A Throw. Whitesnake swings forward, and if it connects, will pick the opponent up and take their DISC as it throws them.<br />
*'''An illusion''': A counter. Pucci and Whitesnake pose, and if struck by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA, they will put the opponent under an illusion and teleport behind them, leaving them crumpling and open to attack. Each character has a unique animation for falling victim to this move as well, similar to Giorno Giovanna's HHA. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
Pucci's HHA, "'''So it was already done...'''", is only available with Whitesnake. Pucci and Whitesnake fly forward at the opponent. If they connect, Whitesnake will steal the opponent's DISC and roundhouse-kick them away.<br />
<br />
When Pucci steals the opponent's DISC via "It's mine!" or his HHA, abilities pertaining to their Style and the Style Button are locked away in the form of "'''the DISC'''"; Ripple Users cannot use "Ripple Breath", nor enhance their skills; Dio Brando cannot use "I'll suck you dry!"; The Pillar Men cannot activate their respective Modes; Stand Users cannot summon their Stands; Mounted Style Users cannot call for their horses. "The DISC" will be in Pucci's possession until the opponent hits him, causing it to drop in front of him. Pucci can retrieve the DISC to keep the opponent's Style locked, or the opponent can pick it up and restore their abilities.<br />
<br />
====C-Moon====<br />
If Pucci fills the Green Baby Gauge completely by way of the use of the "14 words", the Green Baby will fuse with Whitesnake, evolving it into [[C-Moon]] as a special animation plays. Pucci's appearance is altered and his abilities will change accordingly.<br />
<br />
*'''Turn you inside-out!''': This skill automatically activates when moves marked with a star lands. The opponent is directly hit by C-Moon's gravity-altering effects, and they slowly lose health as their bodies are turned inside-out. While in effect, the opponent's torso has blood continuously seeping out.<br />
*'''My body is the basis!''': A counter. Pucci and C-Moon pose and is struck by a non-Throw/HHA/GHA, C-Moon alters gravity to make the opponent fall away from Pucci, sending them into the stage wall.<br />
<br />
While C-Moon is off:<br />
<br />
*'''Begone!''': Pucci summons C-Moon forward to hit the ground, sending debris flying upward and knocking the opponent into the air if they are hit. This move doubles as an anti-air. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)<br />
<br />
While C-Moon is on:<br />
<br />
*'''Die!''': C-Moon lashes out at the opponent in a 5-hit combo, leaving them crumpling. This move is shared with Whitesnake. (Comboable)<br />
*'''Only need one punch!''': C-Moon performs a devastating uppercut that sends the opponent flying. This move is marked with a star. A Stand Rush skill that Pucci can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing.<br />
*'''Now you've lost both arms!''': After a short delay, C-Moon punches it fists together. If the opponent is caught, they will be left crumpling to the ground and open to attack. This move is unblockable and marked with a star. A Stand Rush skill that Pucci can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
Pucci's GHA, "'''Made in Heaven'''", is only available with C-Moon. Pucci, using C-Moon's gravity-altering ability, attempts to float on debris skyward. If uninterrupted, bright light with bathe Pucci completely, shining out of different parts of his body including his eyes. In a bright flash, Made in Heaven comes out of him, and Pucci and his newfound Stand quickly zip around the sky in streaks of light before landing, prepared to fight.<br />
<br />
====Made in Heaven====<br />
After evolving his Stand into Made in Heaven, the stage will move into outer space, with the stage walls and background being a road made out of light representing the rapidly changing universe, making this the only possible stage to be played without being a regular stage. Pucci enters "'''Made in Heaven Mode'''". In this mode, the battle timer will tick twice as fast, Pucci will move at double his speed, and the opponent's own speed is halved, effectively leaving Pucci moving at four times the speed of his opponent.<br />
<br />
While Pucci can turn Made in Heaven off, it will only leave him with his regular attacks; All of Pucci's new moves are only available when Made in Heaven is on.<br />
<br />
*'''Here it comes!''': Pucci and Made in Heaven charge toward the opponent at incredible speed, before unleashing a dual-swipe that knocks them into the air. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
*'''Where is he?!''': Pucci and Made in Heaven flash and reappear right behind the opponent's back in an instant. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
*'''The knives!''': This move can only be performed in mid-air. Pucci and Made in Heaven throw five knives downward. The knives' appearance are similar to those thrown by DIO. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
The only character who does not suffer this slow-down effect is [[Giorno Giovanna]] with [[Gold Experience]] in [[Gold Experience Requiem|Requiem Mode]].<br />
<br />
Made in Heaven is not entirely infallible. If he is somehow struck by Kosaku-Kira's Bites the Dust GHA, Pucci's Stand will revert all the way back to Whitesnake, the stage will be restored back to what it was. Although Pucci is still able to regain C-Moon, Made in Heaven can only be activated once per battle, being permanently unavailable after Kosaku's GHA takes effect, or the round ends. Special animations performed by the opponent such as Throws, HHA, and GHA, temporarily return them to normal speed until the animation in question ends. Due to the quickened timer, it is not uncommon for the round to end via time-up.<br />
<br />
Pucci possesses one alternate costume, being the attire he wore as a 15-year old during his flashback talking to DIO. Alongside the others characters from ''Part 6'', Pucci has a special intro against DIO, the same conversation they had in a flashback where DIO claimed that Pucci could easily steal DIO's Stand DISC, and [[The World]] with it.<br />
<br />
For the western version, he was named "Father Pucchi" and his Stands' names were changed to "Pale Snake", "Full Moon", and "Maiden Heaven", respectively.<br />
<br />
Pucci also appears as a background character at the ''[[Green Dolphin Street Prison]]'' stage and if the opponent were to be defeated near the gate where Pucci is standing, his Whitesnake will appear as a Situation Finish and steal the loser's Stand/Memory DISC similar to the chapter scene when Whitesnake obtains [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]'s Stand DISC from [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]]. This is assuming that Pucci himself is not one of the two fighters, otherwise, he will not appear and the Situation Finish is unavailable.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
<br />
<br />
====Enrico Pucci====<br />
Pucci with Whitesnake (simply "Enrico Pucci") was confirmed as a playable character alongside [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]], and [[Weather Report]]. Whitesnake is unable to evolve, unlike the previous game. As a result, his move set is primarily based around the powers and attacks demonstrated before his merging with the Green Baby. Whitesnake Pucci cannot be paired with his New Moon form.<br />
<br />
As a Stand User, Pucci is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle. Opponents hit by Pucci's various skills will be '''Sealed'''. While Sealed, they will randomly lose access to one of their skills. This effect can be applied multiple times, up to four; this translates to an opponent losing three of their normal skills and one of an EX skill. Also of note is that Pucci by default is immune to the effects of Weather Report's "The Devil's Rainbow! It's Heavy Weather!" skill.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Whitesnake!''': Pucci sends out Whitesnake to attack. This causes Whitesnake to temporarily detach from Pucci's control, not unlike a Stand Rush from ''All Star Battle''. After moving a certain distance, Whitesnake will perform a Normal Attack combo. Pucci may move around during this period, and can even attack in tandem with Whitesnake, but cannot use any attacks or skills that require his Stand. The progression of Whitesnake's combo can be influenced; Whitesnake will perform a two-step combo that knocks opponents down by default or if the movement stick is tilted downward, a three-step combo that knocks opponents into the air if the movement stick is tilted upward, and the full Normal Attack combo that sends opponents flying if the Normal Attack button is repeatedly pressed without moving. Whitesnake can even perform the normally-grounded attacks in mid-air whenever possible. Style Action can be re-inputted to cancel Whitesnake's attack, and activating a Flash Cancel, Flash Burst, or DHA will have the same effect.<br />
*'''Disc Icon''': A small icon on the right side of Pucci's health gauge displays how many DISCs he has currently taken from his opponents; the icon automatically toggles between the two at intervals. DISCs will be in Pucci's possession until he is hard knocked down, causing a DISC containing all Sealed skills of a single opponent to drop in front of him. Pucci can retrieve the DISC to keep his opponents Sealed, or either opponent can pick it up and restore their lost skills. Opponents who are not Sealed can retrieve their partner's DISC for them.<br />
*'''I order you!''': Pucci throws a DISC with homing capabilities as a projectile. If it connects with an opponent, the DISC will lodge itself in them and they will temporarily lose control of their actions for a few seconds. This causes them to either stand in place or walk in a random direction, vulnerable to further attacks. Quickly moving the movement stick around can shorten the time until control is regained.<br />
*'''USHOOOAAAAAA!''': Whitesnake lashes out at in a barrage of 12 punches, sending opponents caught flying on the final hit.<br />
*'''It's mine!''': Whitesnake swings forward, and if it connects, will take a single DISC from an opponent, leaving them crumpling. Pucci is invincible until the end of the move if the attack is successful.<br />
*'''It's an illusion.''': Pucci and Whitesnake pose, and if struck by a non-DHA attack, they will counter the attacker by putting them under an illusion and teleporting behind them. Upon a successful counter, Whitesnake will take a single DISC from the opponent, and Pucci is invincible until the end of the move.<br />
*'''EX - It's mine!''': Whitesnake steals two DISCs at once.<br />
*'''EX - It's an illusion.''': Whitesnake steals two DISCs at once upon a successful counter.<br />
*'''Trait - Calm down... Count prime numbers and calm down...''': When Pucci's health drops below 65% (or to his second health gauge), he will begin to count prime numbers with his thumb in his mouth in order to calm himself. This temporarily boosts his defense and decreases his Stamina depletion, represented by a green, gale-like aura around him.<br />
*'''Dual Heat Attack - So it was already done...''': Identical to Pucci's HHA in ''All Star Battle'', though executes faster for the sake of brevity. This takes 2 DISCs at once.<br />
<br />
=====JoJolities=====<br />
<br />
*'''Whitesnake's range is just about 20 meters.''': Pucci must use his Style Action twice. (200 Points)<br />
<br />
*'''Whitesnake! A disc, if you would!!''': Pucci must connect "I order you!" twice. (200 Points)<br />
<br />
*'''You were one move...too late...''': Pucci must Backstab 3 times. (300 Points)<br />
<br />
*'''I've acquired everything...''': Pucci must take a DISC from an opponent 4 times. (500 Points)<br />
<br />
*'''I shall bring you the total oblivion of death.''': Pucci must Retire a Sealed opponent. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
Pucci's original form does not appear in Story Mode, unlike [[Diego Brando from Another Universe|THE WORLD Diego]], and Part 4 and 6 Jotaro, all of whom briefly appear during the game's ending sequence. Instead, New Moon Pucci is the one to be involved in the game's storyline, set after his transformation and during the final battle at Cape Canaveral.<br />
<br />
=====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]=====<br />
He is paired with [[Akira Otoishi]] in the ''Eyes of Heaven'' Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by Weather Report and [[Yoshikage Kira|"Kosaku Kawajiri"]].<br />
<br />
====New Moon Pucci====<br />
Pucci with C-Moon and subsequently, Made in Heaven, is now a separate playable character, and was confirmed alongside Anasui, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata 8]], and [[Joshu Higashikata]]. His name is titled {{nihongo|'''Pucci Waits For the Time of the New Moon'''|新月の時を待つプッチ|Shingetsu no Toki o Matsu Putchi}}, commonly shortened to {{nihongo|'''New Moon Pucci'''|新月プッチ|Shingetsu Putchi}} and dubbed "'''Pucchi, Awaiting the New Moon'''" in the English localization. New Moon Pucci cannot be paired with his original form possessing Whitesnake.<br />
<br />
This version of Pucci appears in the game's story mode. He is first seen with [[Pet Shop]], sent to kill ''Part 3'' Jotaro and his future daughter Jolyne at Cape Canaveral in order to prevent them from gathering any more of the [[Saint Corpse Parts]]. However, the two retreat when they are defeated by the father-daughter team. Later, after the Joestar Group encounters [[Heaven Ascension DIO]], Pucci confronts Jotaro again at the Joestar Mansion, sending [[Enya the Hag]]'s zombies after him before fighting Jotaro himself. Even with the assistance of zombies, Pucci is defeated once again. Knowing that [[Joseph Joestar]] will inevitably use Hermit Purple to extract his knowledge of [[The World Over Heaven]]'s ability and weakness, Pucci makes his final commitment to his lord DIO, and jumps from the second story floor of the mansion. He impales himself on the Statue of the Goddes of Love and perishes to keep his master safe, recreating the original Dio Brando's first defeat by Jonathan Joestar.<br />
<br />
======C-Moon======<br />
With C-Moon, Pucci can perform various attacks that turn his opponents '''inside-out'''. While in effect, affected opponents will very gradually lose health as blood continuously seeps out of their torso, with no way to manually undo the effect aside from losing a health gauge or getting hit by C-Moon's attacks a second time. The only character immune to this effect is Jolyne while her "Bring it on right until the end!" skill is active.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - C-Moon'''!: Pucci sends out C-Moon to attack. This causes C-Moon to temporarily detach from Pucci's control, not unlike a Stand Rush from ''All Star Battle''. After moving a certain distance, C-Moon will perform a three-step Normal Attack combo, ending with a finisher that turns opponents inside-out. Pucci may move around during this period, and can even attack in tandem with C-Moon, but cannot use any attacks or skills that require his Stand. C-Moon can even perform the normally-grounded attacks in mid-air whenever possible. Style Action can be re-inputted to cancel C-Moon's attack, and activating a Flash Cancel, Flash Burst, or DHA will have the same effect.<br />
*'''I'll see to it, with all my power!''': Pucci flings a large amount of gasoline forward before igniting it, triggering an explosion that sends opponents flying. The explosion will also create a large patch of fire that lingers for several seconds, igniting opponents and causing them to gradually lose health if they touch it.<br />
*'''Could your brain handle that and survive?!''': C-Moon performs a uppercut, and if it connects, unleashes a barrage of 8 punches, the final hit sending opponents flying and turning them inside out. Pucci is invicible during the combo if successful.<br />
*'''I can invert gravity based on where I'm standing.''': Pucci uses C-Moon's ability to generate a large gravity field that causes opponents and stage objects to fall away from him upon activation. For a period of time afterward, all projectiles will fall away from Pucci upon entering the gravity field, and opponents within the field will be slowly pushed away.<br />
*'''EX - Could your brain handle that and survive?!''': The uppercut is unblockable and Pucci is invincible for the entire duration of the attack.<br />
*'''EX - I can invert gravity based on where I'm standing.''': The skill activates quicker and Pucci is invincible until the gravity field begins. The field itself is also larger and lasts for a longer period of time.<br />
*'''Made in Heaven''': Pucci, using C-Moon's gravity-altering ability, attempts to float on debris skyward. If uninterrupted, a bright light with bathe Pucci completely, shining out of different parts of his body including his eyes. In a bright flash, Made in Heaven comes out of him, and Pucci and his newfound Stand quickly zip around the sky in streaks of light before landing, prepared to fight. This grants Pucci a completely new array of attacks and skills.<br />
<br />
======Made in Heaven======<br />
With [[Made in Heaven]], Pucci gains incredible speed and power due to the Stand's abilities, being able to deal many hits and cover a large amount of ground in a short amount of time.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - Time, accelerate!''': Pucci moves at high speeds a distance forward, leaving after-images. If locked-on, he can do this in up to four times before the ability is placed on cooldown, and is able to move in cardinal directions in relation to his target using the movement stick; if the movement stick is tilted backwards, Pucci instead zooms into the air to conclude the ability, setting up air attacks or evasion.<br />
*'''You are nothing but a sacrifice for human happiness!''': Pucci and Made in Heaven charge forward at incredible speed, before unleashing a horizontal dual-slice that sends opponents flying a long distance. Pucci has super armor during the attack.<br />
*'''Weep at your own weakness!''': Pucci and Made in Heaven quickly dash to the left (or in a clockwise motion if locked-on) and performs an unblockable strike, evading attacks and leaving opponents hit crumpling and open to further attack. Pucci is invincible until the strike is unleashed. <br />
*'''Seems you were two seconds too late...''': Pucci quickly leaps into the air and throws four knives downward in random formation. He will then instantly move himself back to the ground.<br />
*'''By the name of God, I will smite you!''': Pucci performs a short declaration as god rays shine on him from out of nowhere. If hit by any non-projectile, non-DHA attack during this period, he will flash and reappear right behind his attacker in an instant, easily allowing for a Backstab to follow.<br />
*'''EX - Weep at your own weakness!''': Pucci is invincible for the entire duration of the attack.<br />
*'''EX - Seems you were two seconds too late...''': Pucci throws six knives.<br />
<br />
=====JoJolities=====<br />
<br />
*'''I'll say it again... You must only throw a single inside out punch!''': Pucci must use his Style Action with C-Moon twice. (200 Points)<br />
*'''I dub this ability... C-Moon!''': Pucci must turn opponents inside-out 3 times. Reverting them from an inside-out state also counts. (200 Points)<br />
*'''The Time of Heaven has finally come...''': Pucci must successfully perform "Made in Heaven". (300 Points)<br />
*'''Just like DIO once did!!''': Pucci must connect "Seems your were two seconds too late..." twice. (500 Points)<br />
*'''A power that can guide all the humans in this world to true happiness...''': Pucci must Retire an opponent with a Dual Heat Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
=====Dual Heat Attacks=====<br />
<br />
*'''Solo (C-Moon) - Only need one punch.''': C-Moon punches the ground, activating its gravity field and leaving the opponent stunned and floating helpless in the air. Pucci claims his need to only use one punch as C-Moon delivers a single punch into the target's torso, turning it inside-out with nearly fatal effects. Pucci then deactivates the field and lets his victim fall.<br />
*'''Solo (Made in Heaven) - This is what I've longed for! "Made in Heaven!"''': Pucci lunges at the opponent, before appearing behind them and informing them of "the birth of a new world". He disappears before they could successfully turn to face him and proceeds to rush them down from all sides at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Made in Heaven ends the attack by delivering a powerful jab to the opponent's abdomen, sending them off.<br />
*'''With [[Dio Brando|DIO]] - Rulers of Time and Gravity''': This DHA is only available once Pucci obtains Made in Heaven. DIO stops time and throws a barrage of knives. As time resumes, Pucci speeds up the knives' flight using Made in Heaven to make them hit their target with more power. Pucci then uses MiH's power to allow DIO the ability to get close to the enemy with extreme haste and deliver a singular punch that launches them off.<br />

{{Quote|'''I love you'''... I've been dying to come here for you...|Anasui meeting [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[SO Chapter 68]]}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Narciso Anasui'''|ナルシソ・アナスイ|Narushiso Anasui}} is a major ally featured in ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
Anasui is an inmate in [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] who falls in love with [[Jolyne Cujoh]] and decides to help her with defeating [[Enrico Pucci]]. Anasui is a [[Stand]] User who wields [[Diver Down]] in battle.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Femme anasui.jpg|thumb|left|227x227px|Anasui's first appearance]]<br />
Anasui is a man of above-average height and medium to athletic build. He is always seen with a slim, flat hat on his head, and he wears a form-fitting mesh over his upper body and lower legs, exposing most of his chest. The mesh is comprised of diagonal stripes that resemble a fishnet pattern with extremely large gaps between the clothing lines. One of the most prominent features of his shirt (or lack thereof) in the presence of footprint designs leading from his waist skirt and up onto his chest. This perhaps reflects one of the uses of his Stand, as Diver Down displays the ability to extend its arms and feet from within another person's body.<br />
<br />
In his first appearance, Anasui was first depicted as a woman with short hair.<br />
<br />

==Personality==<br />
Described at first as 'the type of person that doesn't help other people',<ref name="SOC59P6">''SO Chapter 59: [[SO Chapter 59|His Name Is Anasui]] p.6''</ref> even [[Emporio Alniño|Emporio]] tells [[Foo Fighters|F.F.]] that 'if [[Weather Report]] wasn't there to keep him calm, there is no knowing what Anasui would do'.<ref name="SOC59P9">''SO Chapter 59: [[SO Chapter 59|His Name Is Anasui]] p.9''</ref><br />
<br />
After meeting Jolyne, she becomes the target of his romantic obsession, despite the two of them having never formally met. Despite her lack of interest, he is single-minded in his pursuit of her hand in marriage. When they aren't in danger, he'll use anything in his arsenal to woo Jolyne—though he isn't successful and it's frequently used as a source of comic relief. Once he realizes that Jolyne is in danger, he will jump into the fray with little regard for his own safety. In love with the concept of her courageous and burning determination, Anasui mused that given the chance, he would follow Jolyne for eternity.<br />
<br />
He will treat anyone who isn't Jolyne badly; the mask of his 'noble' and 'protective' persona thinning to reveal his menacing and intimidating tendencies. Whether friend or foe, Anasui won't hesitate to kill anyone who disturbs his imaginary happiness with Jolyne. On one occasion, he threatens F.F. to not interfere with his work, almost strangling her when she almost disobeys. While he is more than willing to jump into action for Jolyne, he refuses to help anyone else unless he knows that Jolyne needs them. The main exception to this is of course, [[Jotaro Kujo]], wanting his approval for his one-sided marriage proposal to Jolyne. <br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Main|Diver Down}}<br />
<br />
Diver Down is a close-range stand with the main ability to imprint an attack on any surface and release it. It also is able to phase through solid materials and change the materials that make them up.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Obsessed with disassembling objects, Anasui grew up a bit awkward during his childhood days. He painstakingly dissected a pocket watch, his neighbor's car, and whatever else that struck his fancy. One day while returning from work, he found his girlfriend cheating on him with another man. In response, he methodically tore both of them apart so they would never ''come together again''. He was sent to prison and faced a twelve-year sentence for first-degree murder.<br />
<br />
===His Name Is Anasui===<br />
Although he was briefly seen next to Weather Report by [[Ermes Costello]], Anasui doesn't get involved with Jolyne until [[Foo Fighters|F.F.]] comes to Emporio for help. Seemingly entranced by the tales he has heard of her, Anasui agrees to become Jolyne's bodyguard out of his burning love for her and exits Emporio's ghost room. Using Diver Down, he opens a door by storing energy into it and releasing the energy as a kick upon two incoming guards. <br />
===Burn, Dragon's Dream===<br />
Anasui then appears coming up the stairs of the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward just as Foo Fighters and Jolyne are about to face [[Kenzou]]. At first, he doesn't engage in the battle, instead expounding on Kenzou's history and confesses his love to Jolyne. He then explains the concept of 'feng shui', which Kenzou's stand [[Dragon's Dream]] relies on. When Jolyne presses him to go and protect Foo Fighters, he replies saying that his promise was to only protect Jolyne, Foo Fighters not being included, as well as the fact that Foo Fighters specifically told him not to help her. As Foo Fighters is flung into the electric chair through Kenzou's attacks and Jolyne drops down the stairs, Anasui springs into action in order to protect Jolyne from being the next target of Kenzou's 'feng shui assassination'. He phases Diver Down into Jolyne's body and upon Kenzou's kick coming into contact with her body, he changes the structure of Kenzou's legs to resemble that of a spring. This causes him to be put out of commission, crumpled up in a bucket. Upon finding her and connecting with her, Anasui keeps true to his word and protects Jolyne to the point of self-sacrifice at times.<br />
===A "Green" Birth===<br />
After the fight with Kenzou, Anasui attempts to convince Foo Fighters to make Jolyne trip down the stairs in order for him to stop her from falling and have her fall in love with him. Foo Fighters, still preoccupied by the remaining enemies, refuses at first, but caves and trips Jolyne. She uses [[Stone Free]] to grab onto the arm of the small prisoner holding [[DIO's Bone|DIO's bone]], leaving Anasui in favor of her goal. He then notices the strange effects of the [[The Green Baby|Green Baby]]'s birth on the prisoner, shocked at the metamorphosis. Anasui warns Jolyne to stop, noticing the plants on her face and inspecting her before concluding that the roots and plant-like things appearing in the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward are the cause of DIO's bone. Anasui then uses Diver Down to remove most of the flowers that grew out of Jolyne's body after she went to give chase to the bone. He lightly nibbles on one of the flowers to confirm that they are living things, while also warning Jolyne to stay out of the sunlight in order to prevent further growth. However, he is unable to stop her from taking the Green Baby.<br />
===Yo-Yo ma is coming!===<br />
Anasui hurries and leads Jolyne and Foo Fighters out of the Ultra-Security Punishment Ward, but is informed of the actual direction of the exit by Foo Fighters. It's here that they meet [[Guccio]], who is cowering and whimpering in a corner. Anasui approaches him casually and asks his name and if he's an enemy, Guccio responding without really understanding and pleading for his life. Anasui gestures for him to come closer, and uses Diver Down to transform Guccio into a walking, mindless trap that mutilates [[D an G]]'s left arm using his ribs. Anasui ultimately decides to use Diver Down to climb up a wall and out a window, escaping to the eastern side of the building.<br />
<br />
While escaping, the three are accosted by [[Yo-Yo Ma]], who reacts to the group's attacks (including Anasui's phasing of Diver Down's fist into his stomach) with pleasure. Anasui notes the awful stench of his body, making it impossible to focus and retrieve the Green Baby out from Yo-Yo Ma. While Jolyne and Foo Fighters figure out the situation, Anasui reminds them that Jolyne is still in danger in the sunlight and states that they need to be further east, opposite of the setting sun. Following Foo Fighters being unknowingly taken out by Yo-Yo Ma, Jolyne and Anasui steal an anti-wetland use boat. Anasui is taught how to drive it by Yo-Yo Ma, and he tells Jolyne to get on.<br />
<br />
After a short while, Anasui hides the boat in a mass of leaves and grass to hide from patrolling guards. Yo-Yo Ma then comes up with a plan to camouflage the two of them and their boat, Anasui and Jolyne being covered in roots and leaves. The guards' propellers, however, reveal them. Anasui lets the guards sink their ship, telling Yo-Yo Ma to fetch another boat. Yo-Yo Ma takes care of another boat, and Anasui steals the remaining one by using Diver Down to punch through one guard's face in order to hit the other. He then leaves piloting the boat to Yo-Yo Ma.<br />
<br />
Anasui takes notice of Jolyne's whistling, and then notices her stressed movements trying to tell him that there are holes in her tongue. He, however, interprets it as her confessing her love to him and almost kisses her before being punched by Jolyne. She attempts to get him to understand what she is saying, but he continues thinking that she wants to kiss him. However, he eventually realizes that something is wrong when Jolyne's face starts melting from Yo-Yo Ma's acidic spit. He notices her message, reading 'BE ALL EYES', and immediately attacks Yo-Yo Ma, ignoring the holes in his body and ordering Yo-Yo Ma to empty his pockets. Anasui gains more holes in his body while obtaining more information about the stand, including about its 'target sensor', by attacking it. In the process, he connects one of Yo-Yo Ma's frog's brains to its 'target sensor', making it have the wants and impulses of a frog and neutralizing it as a threat. Anasui picks up Jolyne and the two wait for Foo Fighters to kill D an G.<br />
<br />
===Awaken===<br />
Following Yo-Yo Ma's disappearance, Anasui and Jolyne find the empty shell of the Green Baby on the deck of the boat. As the Green Baby starts to fall into the water, Anasui goes to catch it and obtains a hand-shaped burn on his hand. The Green Baby ends up falling into the water and Anasui panics before Jolyne repairs her tongue and points out its next location. As Jolyne goes to run for the baby, Anasui stops and shows her the anomalous effects around the Green Baby, such as a rock getting bigger the farther away it rolls, or Anasui growing larger as he is father away from the baby. Anasui and Jolyne experiment somewhat with the effects before Anasui explains how the Green Baby's powers work by drawing in the sand with a stick, hypothesizing that they'd never be able to reach the Green Baby.<br />
<br />
The two notice guard dogs barking in the distance, and after Jolyne rushes in, Anasui ruminates on her attitude and follows after her. He prevents her from fully unraveling herself, but is unable to stop her from jumping down onto the Green Baby and shrinking exponentially. He arrives near her just in time to save her from the Green Baby's stand, [[Green, Green Grass of Home|Green, Green Grass Of Home]]'s grasp. The two cling onto a microscopic cliff, but soon they are attacked by falling pebbles and make a run for it. The two start to slide off of the cliff, their fingers being bloodied from the friction, but Anasui reveals that he was leading the stand into a glass bottle that he had rolled when Jolyne first jumped down onto the Green Baby, trapping the stand and by extension, the user. <br />
===White Snake: Pursuer===<br />
Anasui plans to kill the Green Baby, and phases the entrance of the bottle over to him and Jolyne so that they are able to escape while trapping Green, Green Grass Of Home by putting the cap back on the bottle. However, the stand starts to roll the bottle towards the two of them and almost crushes Anasui before the Green Baby calls off the attack, intrigued by Jolyne's birthmark.<br />
<br />
The guard dogs, however, are still prowling the wetlands, as Anasui comments in addition to the fog rolling in. Anasui once again confesses his love for Jolyne after she questions his motivations, mentioning how he was even married once before in prison. Meanwhile, the Green Baby starts eating his hair. Anasui notices people coming and orders the two of them to get down. The two people coming are revealed to be Weather Report and Foo Fighters, and as Weather Report and Jolyne hug, Anasui reacts negatively and orders Foo Fighters to tear them apart, claiming that Weather Report is getting his scent on Jolyne. He goes as far as to say that Foo Fighters is nothing more than plankton. Anasui announces his plan to kill the Green Baby, which is met with backlash, especially from Foo Fighters. Anasui insults Foo Fighters again and asks Weather Report for his opinion, who then punches a hole through Anasui's chest and chops Foo Fighters' head in half. <br />
<br />
Weather Report is revealed to be nothing more than one of [[Whitesnake]]'s illusions as Anasui lays dying on the ground. During a tense fight between Jolyne and Whitesnake's user, Enrico Pucci, Pucci throws Jotaro Kujo's memory disc into Anasui's dying body as he starts to fade away. Jolyne is unable to pull it out of Anasui before he starts to have his final thoughts. He thinks about how Jolyne looks sad, and asks Foo Fighters to use his body as a vessel in order to retrieve the disc. Foo Fighters uses the last of her strength to keep Anasui alive and heal his wounds, ejecting the disc but sacrificing herself in the process. <br />
<br />
Anasui is then taken back to the men's ward of Green Dolphin Street Prison with Weather Report.<br />
===Bohemian Rhapsody===<br />
In the men's ward of the prison, Weather Report states that Jolyne has left the prison, able to sense her due to the [[Joestar Birthmark|Joestar birthmark]]. He forces Weather to take him to her.<br />
<br />
Following their off panel escape, Anasui admonishes Weather Report for helping up an old man, fearing it would make them stand out. He asks Weather about his history, and Weather responds that he simply wants to kill Pucci, forgetting the reason due to having his memory disc stolen. They hide in the bathroom as they figure out a way to avoid the cops. Weather uses his stand to aid the old man enough for him to give them a ride past the cops.<br />
<br />
As Anasui thumbs through the magazines in the back of the old man's car, he bemoans the lack of Disney characters on the Disney amusement park guidebook. Then, he notices something scurrying past and uses Diver Down to grab it, pulling out a twisted version of Pinocchio. He threatens Pinocchio with violence, and when Pinocchio lies about working alone, his nose stabs Anasui in the cheek. He interrogates the puppet further before being interrupted by the Seven Dwarves, who emerge after Anasui picks up an apple from the floor. Anasui becomes confused, recognizing the characters, and becomes angry when he notices Weather eating the apple and reading a book. However, when Weather starts asking where Anasui is, he realizes that what he is is nothing but his 'soul': His body has fallen under the truck and is being run over. <br />
<br />
He tries to use Diver Down to pull his body up, but is unable to. The truck crashes, but Anasui and Weather land safely with the help of Weather's stand ability. Anasui interrogates Pinocchio further, ultimately destroying him. He wakes up back in his own body, but notices that the old man driver is acting strangely. He questions the driver's bloody mouth, chipped nail, tail, and Glasgow smile. The driver attacks him as a wolf, and Anasui is unable to summon Diver Down, unknowingly having separated once more. Anasui, from a passing bus, uses Diver Down to cut off the wolf's head, and sees himself once again.<br />
<br />
Anasui's soul runs through Orlando looking for its body, being accused by a chocolate shop owner of trashing the store. In truth, his body had ran past just earlier, and despite Anasui's bribe (that he stole from the cash register), he is forced to change his appearance using Diver Down to avoid the police by phasing chocolates into his face. However, when he spits them out, they turn into small goats that tell the story of a wolf who ate many baby goats and subsequently had his stomach cut open and filled with rocks by the mother before drowning him. Anasui then finds himself turning into a wolf.<br />
<br />
He goes to punch the goat reading the story, but attracts the attention of the mother unintentionally via the pleas of the goats inside his stomach. He tries to punch it into the ground, but the mother unfolds itself, being made of paper. Anasui runs down the alleyway and slams a heavy iron door, using Diver Down to change the inner workings so that it wouldn't open. The goats, however, simply open it as if it was paper. He attempts again, but fails, the mother goat cutting open his side. In order to escape, he has Diver Down phase into the wall and pull himself along to the door, momentarily escaping and hijacking a cop car. However, the car door opens to the alleyway from before, the goats jumping out and cutting open his stomach with rocks at the ready. <br />
<br />
Anasui, stuck in a wildly veering cop car, falls out on top of Weather Report, in the middle of re-enacting Vincent Van Gogh's suicide. Anasui starts to melt, his own flesh drowning him. However, Weather's 'Put-Back Hero' returns things to the way they were before, the enemy stand's effect ceasing afterwards.<br />
===Heavy Weather===<br />
Anasui and Weather Report end up outside the hospital where Jolyne and Ermes fight against [[Donatello Versus]]' stand, [[Under World]].<br />
<br />
After Versus uses Under World to deliver Weather Report's memory disc to Weather Report inside the hospital, he regains his memories and activates [[Weather Report (Stand)#Heavy Weather|Heavy Weather]]. Anasui is shocked by Weather's new attitude, but follows him nevertheless in order to find Jolyne. <br />
<br />
Following the subliminal effect spreading across the city, Anasui confronts Weather Report, who asks Anasui to kill him. Anasui is more upset about Weather not taking him to Jolyne than anything, but quickly gets serious when Weather informs him that Pucci is nearby. Anasui checks for him in the sewers, but only sees snails. Anasui suggests the car as a possible hiding spot before Weather gets his right leg chopped off by Pucci. He deflects a batch of snails coming towards him using Diver Down, and starts turning into a snail. However, he uses Diver Down on Weather to give him a makeshift leg and allow him to attack Pucci. Pucci reflects the sunlight on Anasui to make him turn into a snail faster, making him unable to focus enough to use his stand. He tries to attack once more, but is beaten into the asphalt by Whitesnake. As Whitesnake prepares the killing blow, Weather Report creates blood spikes on the ground that Pucci must use Anasui's vision to see due to his own blindness. He lists off the blood spikes and tells Pucci the way out, but fails to tell him about the spike forming on his shoulder. Anasui watches as Weather Report almost kills Pucci, but a car crashes into the one they were by, carrying Jolyne, Emporio, Ermes, and Versus. Jolyne is about to attack what she believes to be the priest, but Anasui uses Diver Down to reveal it as Donatello Versus' corpse. <br />
<br />
As the others notice Weather's dead body, Anasui talks about his own callousness and lack of feeling, stating that the time Weather had with Jolyne and the others were the happiest times in his life. Anasui then reveals that he left behind the stand disc for Weather Report.<br />
===C-Moon===<br />
On the car ride to Cape Canaveral Space Station, Anasui notices Jolyne asleep on his chest and comments on how cute she is. He then produces a wedding ring that he bought from the prison merchant, softly placing it on her finger. However, Ermes startles her by pointing out a large alligator and she unknowingly throws it at the alligator. Anasui repeatedly asks her to open her hands when he notices, weeping. <br />
<br />
Anasui resolves to find Pucci as soon as possible and not wait for Jotaro to arrive, and as gravity turns 90 degrees away, he uses Diver Down on the road to hold on to everyone and keep them from falling. He motions that if they continue climbing a rail, they could get to the space station, and Jolyne makes up her mind to kill Pucci. Anasui thinks to himself about how in love he is with Jolyne. As they are on the sideways space station, Anasui watches as Jolyne is attacked by [[C-Moon]], Pucci's new stand, shouting warnings for her and eventually using Diver Down to attack C-Moon. He is pelted with inside-out tiles and starts to fall, but Jolyne uses Stone Free to hold onto him and wrap around C-Moon's neck at the same time. Anasui warns her not to be reckless, and when C-Moon puts Jolyne's string in danger of turning inside-out, he phases Diver Down into it to have his own arm turn inside-out. <br />
<br />
When Jolyne herself turns inside-out due to a direct attack, her strings dissolve and he uses Diver Down to anchor himself to the floor. He springs off towards Pucci after Emporio tells him that Jolyne is still alive in order to protect her. When he meets Pucci, he creates a decoy version of himself out of a civilian's corpse using Diver Down and tries to attack him. However, Pucci turns himself inside out and avoids the attack, countering and just barely missing Anasui, who floats off and grabs a pole to keep himself from falling.<br />
===Made In Heaven===<br />
As Jotaro and Ermes return, so does Anasui, the group surrounding Pucci. However, as Pucci floats into the air and starts to attain 'heaven', Anasui climbs onto the space shuttle and attacks Pucci with Diver Down. Pucci's new stand, [[Made in Heaven]], emerges out of his arm.<br />
As Anasui tries to attack Pucci, a bright light fills the area and the group wakes up in Cape Canaveral with normal gravity. Anasui is touched by Jolyne worrying about him, but is soon confused by the effects of Made In Heaven when he accidentally drops a heavy rock on Ermes. Suddenly, Pucci begins to attack the group using the abilities he gained after attaining heaven.<br />
<br />
Anasui takes this moment to ask Jotaro for Jolyne's hand in marriage, and is disappointed when Jotaro is unable to answer. Jolyne clings to him for comfort, but is taken away by Jotaro a short time afterwards. Despite this, Anasui still takes a blow that would have been fatal for Jotaro by phasing Diver Down into Jotaro's body. He gets wounded again shortly after on the hand by Pucci, but as the group flies through the air through Kiss' ability, Anasui posits that there is one way they could kill Pucci as he directs Emporio towards the marshes.<br />
<br />
He tells Jotaro that since Pucci has no choice but to pick them off one by one, when Pucci goes in to kill him, he'll give Jotaro a signal for him to stop time and kill Pucci. He states that he is able to phase into anyone when they're as close together as they are, allowing him to take fatal blows. He states he will take the first blow, and the signal will be transferred through his stand, specifically mentioning for Jotaro to stop time after Pucci's blow to finish Anasui off, sacrificing himself. He is stopped by Jolyne, who tells him that it's alright to ask her to marry him. However, he is interrupted by Pucci.<br />
<br />
As they land in the marshes and Anasui prepares himself, he is punched through the chest by a stand. He gives the signal, but Pucci used his stand to take Jolyne's Stone Free and use it to pierce through Anasui's chest. Anasui falls into the water, dead.<br />
<br />
He is seen amongst the rest of the Stone Ocean protagonists in the clouds in[[Image:annakiss.jpg|thumb|120px|left|Anasui's counterpart]] the final panel.<br />
<br />
===[[Alternate Universe]]===<br />
In the alternate universe, Anasui has a counterpart by the name of [[Annakiss]].<br />

==Video Games==<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle (PS3)]]===<br />
Anasui makes his game debut as a DLC character in the PS3 title. He was confirmed for the 4th campaign, alongside Vanilla Ice. He is the only playable male ally for ''Part 6''. For the English localization of the game, he was given the name "''Narc Anastasia''".<br />
<br />
Gameplay-wise, Anasui is a trap-heavy fighter, not unlike [[Mariah]] in ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future|Heritage for the Future]]''. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "''Stand''" Style, Anasui can turn Diver Down on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the '''Stand Rush''' ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand.<br />
<br />
*'''Throw - Didn't see it coming!''': Anasui yanks the opponent toward him before delivering a back-handed punch.<br />
<br />
While Diver Down is off:<br />
<br />
*'''Shut yer trap!''': Anasui turns around and performs a downward reverse kick. A middle attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is crouching. Anasui's skills can be performed instantly following this move.<br />
*'''And... RELEASE!''': By consuming 1/8th of the Heart Heat Gauge, Anasui summons Diver Down to punch the ground, leaving a trap. If the opponent steps on it, they'll be sent into the air. A low attack that cannot be blocked if the opponent is not crouching. The attack can be charged for more damage and to send the opponent flying higher. (Comboable)<br />
*'''You're in range!''': Anasui summons Diver Down to punch at an upward angle. This move doubles as an anti-air. If it hits, DD enters the opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out of their back to launch them into the ground.<br />
*'''Meat and Bone Suspension''': A Throw. Anasui summons Diver Down to fly forward. If it connects, DD rearranges the structure of the opponent's legs into a spring, before delivering a downward punch that sends them bouncing extremely high into the air. (Comboable)<br />
<br />
While Diver Down is on:<br />
<br />
*'''How awful...''': A Throw. Diver Down reaches outward, and if it connects, enters the opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out to kick them to the ground.<br />
*'''Dive!''': Diver Down dives into the floor and comes back up to attack the opponent, the attack depending on the attack button inputted.<br />
**If Light, DD pops out to punch the opponent's legs, tripping them in a low attack that cannot be blocked if they are not crouching.<br />
**If Medium, DD leaps out to deliver a downward punch that knocks the down hard enough for them to bounce in a middle attack that cannot be blocked if they are crouching (Comboable).<br />
**If Heavy, DD comes out to deliver an advancing barrage of punches that knock the opponent into the air on the final hit (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel). A Stand Rush skill that Anasui can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing.<br />
*'''Go to hell!''': This move can only be used in mid-air. Diver Down swings downward while suspending Anasui in the air. A Stand Rush skill that Anasui can disconnect from to attack the opponent while it is executing.<br />
<br />
Anasui's HHA, "'''Give me your blessing!'''", has Diver Down rapidly punch the ground before entering it, resulting in a barrage of uppercuts at the opponent's feet from the floor and sending them flying backward. DD then reappears from behind them and pummels them again, knocking them to Anasui's feet. The HHA can be delayed for a few seconds.<br />
<br />
Anasui's GHA, "'''Diving in'''", has Diver Down sink into the ground once more, appearing in front of the opponent to lunge at them, regardless of range or orientation. If the attack connects, DD dives into the opponent's body, before destroying them from the inside with a relentless combo of punches and kicks in many directions. The opponent is flung around by the internal force into the air as Anasui expresses DD's ability to kill them from the inside-out. As he finishes talking, DD ends the attack with a powerful kick strong enough to pierce through the target's back and send them flying.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)]]===<br />
Anasui was confirmed for the game alongside Pucci with [[C-Moon]], [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)]], and [[Joshu Higashikata]].<br />
As a Stand User, Anasui is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle.<br />
<br />
*'''Style Action - And... RELEASE!''': Diver Down performs a single kick forward, leaving the energy of the kick in the form of a trap. If it hits an opponent, they will become a carrier of the energy, damaging and blowing back both themselves and their partner if they make contact with each other. If it hits a wall, the energy will be left as a trap, damaging and blowing back any opponent that gets too close. If Style Action is held, Diver Down can charge its power in order to increase the damage dealt and the number of stored kicks up to 15, and eventually make the traps unblockable. Anasui may have up to 3 traps active at a given time, including any affecting his opponents.<br />
*'''Trait - Wall!''': Anasui can perform a second jump off a wall by sending Diver Down into it and vaulting off its leg.<br />
*'''You're in range!''': Anasui summons Diver Down to punch at an upward angle. If it hits, DD dives into an opponent, beats them up from the inside, and comes out of their back to launch them into the ground. Anasui is invincible from the beginning of the dive until the last punch is thrown.<br />
*'''Go to hell!''': Anasui and Diver Down leap into the air before landing with a roll. If DD hits an opponent during this period, it will make them bounce high into the air and dive into the ground when it lands. From the ground, DD will unleash an upward barrage of 14 punches on the falling target, the last hit launching them into the air.<br />
*'''Diver Down! Dive!''': Diver Down moves at high speeds through the ground as Anasui rides it, and can steer left and right. This move can be used for traversal or closing the distance on his targets, assisting in evasion through the former. The activating input can be held to increase the time and therefore distance he covers. While active, Anasui's stamina gauge quickly drains, and he will damage opponents he makes contact with but will stop immediately upon doing so. He may instantly cancel the skill by jumping the instant he stops moving.<br />
*'''I dove into your body itself.''': Anasui sends Diver Down to protect either himself or his partner. If held, a green circle will appear at Anasui's feet indicating the range he must be in to have DD protect his partner, as well as the maximum range from Anasui the ability will persist for them. While active, DD will automatically counterattack any non-projectiles and non-DHA attacks with a barrage of 15 punches. Anasui will be unable to use any skills that require the use of DD, and attempting to use Normal or Powerful Attacks will result in the ability canceling. If DD is protecting Anasui himself, he may also cancel the skill at any time by reinputting the skill. If his partner is attacked while protected by DD, Anasui will absorb a portion of the damage.<br />
*'''EX - Go to hell!''': Anasui is invincible until he lands.<br />
*'''EX - Diver Down! Dive!''': Anasui is invincible to projectiles while moving, will now knock opponents he makes contact with into the air without stopping, and can freely cancel his movement with a Normal Attack, his Style Action, or any skill.<br />
*'''Dual Heat Attack - I dove in.''': Identical to its performance in ''All Star Battle'', though executes faster for the sake of brevity.<br />
<br />
====JoJolities====<br />
<br />
*'''Give me your blessing!''': Anasui must use a fully charged Style Action. (200 Points)<br />
*'''Ready to regret the day you were born?!''': Anasui must execute 3 Combo Breakers. (200 Points)<br />
*'''First, Diver Down receives the initial damage...''': Anasui must use "I dove into your body itself." 3 times. (300 Points)<br />
*'''If I manage to survive this...''': Anasui must perform a Dual Combo Finish. (500 Points)<br />
*'''Give me your blessing! I can't get married without it!''': Anasui must Retire an opponent with a Dual Heat Attack. (800 Points)<br />
<br />
=====[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven Tournament|Tournament]]=====<br />
He is paired with [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata 8]] 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 ''Part 4 ''Jotaro and [[Diego Brando from Another Universe]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Anasui and [[Vanilla Ice]] are the last DLC ''JoJo'' characters to be confirmed for the roster of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle|All Star Battle]] (with [[Ikuro Hashizawa|Baoh]] being a DLC character from Araki's previous work).<br />
*At [[wiki:Lucca_Comics_&_Games|Lucca Comics and Games 2019]] Araki revealed that the reason behind Anasui's sex seemingly changing after his first appearance was that he wanted to portray a character with an androgynous image that went beyond the standard definition of genders.<br />
