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

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

|Debut={{Ch3|JJL Chapter 84}}<br />
|Type={{ST|Automatic}}, {{ST|Sentient}}, {{ST|NH}}, {{ST|AH}}<br />
|Ability=Calamity Manipulation<br />
}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], who was a little girl at that time. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />
<br />
===Soft & Wet: Go Beyond===<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
As Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />
[[File:Tooru_death.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Tooru crumbles away]]<br />
The process of the exchange begins, despite having eaten the locacaca fruit first Tooru still succumbs to the equivalent exchange. Kaato reveals the crushed branches within her cards, and pours the sap into Tsurugi's mouth. Wonder of U attempts to attack Kaato but it begins to crumble alongside Tooru. In desperation he begins to plead, arguing that the fruit is divine providence and begging Kaato to stop. Kaato brushes away his pleas, determined to cure Tsurugi's illness and bear this sin. Tooru begins to crumble further begs Yasuho to stop Kaato by reminding her of their previous relationship. Yasuho doesn't act and continues to watch. In his last moments, Tooru hallucinates seeing a hornet and crumbles away. Despite his death however, the calamity still manages to injure Kaato and is capable of manifesting as Wonder of U in Norisuke's mouth but fortunately, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] comes to the scene and eliminates Wonder of U with his newfound ability.<br />

{{Quote|If you're going to plan a race, it should be across the entire American continent! And the winnings should be huge! Like, $50,000,000! Real dreams should be that big!|Lucy Steel, {{Ch|SBR Extra Chapter 1}}}}<br />
<br />
{{nihongo|'''Lucy Steel'''|ルーシー・スティール|Rūshī Sutīru}}, née {{nihongo|'''Pendleton'''|ペンドルトン|Pendoruton}}, is a [[:Category:Primary Allies|primary ally]] featured in the 7th part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], ''[[Steel Ball Run]]''. She also appears briefly in the 8th part, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
Lucy is the wife of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]] promoter, [[Steven Steel]]. She eventually discovers [[Funny Valentine]]'s plan for the race and, fearing for her husband's safety, decides to cooperate with the duo, [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]].<br />
<br />
After the events of Steel Ball Run, she works for the U.S government to return the [[Holy Corpse]], and later researches the [[Wall Eyes]] of [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] for the [[Speedwagon Foundation]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Lucy is a fourteen-year-old girl of average height and build. She has light, medium-length hair and an outfit generally consisting of a dress and striped tights. She also wears arm warmers and tall boots, both adorned with circular decorations.<br />
<br />
Later, after she is kidnapped by [[Funny Valentine]], her outfit is simplified to only a dress and pair of pumps, and her hair is slightly longer than before. During her final appearance, Lucy is seen wearing a hood, while also regaining her arm warmers and boots but without any tights underneath.<br />
<br />
Much later, after the events of Steel Ball Run, Lucy is older and working with the [[Speedwagon Foundation]]. She dons a black suit with light colored lapels. She carries a suitcase with the Speedwagon Foundation logo on it.<br />
<br />
Many decades after that event, Lucy is an elderly woman in her sixties. She now has medium-length hair. She wears a form-fitting sleeveless dress under another sleeveless dress with a short cape with serrated edges attached at the neckline, and a puffy short over tights decorated with a star motif. Lucy wears a multilayered cloche hat, long gloves and a pearl necklace. She has become nearsighted and needs eyeglasses to observe things in details.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:Steven & lucy.png|thumb|left|Lucy and Steven are extremely loyal to each other]]<br />
Lucy is an intelligent, gentle and courageous girl despite facing many dangerous situations.<br />
<br />
Already apparent in her childhood, Lucy's kindness pushed her to talk to a then derelict [[Steven Steel]], being the first person to support him in his idea of organizing a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|horserace]] and also suggesting that it had an enormous scale by making it go across the United States and having a prize in the millions.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Extra Chapter 1}}, p.6</ref> When Steven repaid her kindness by preventing the mafia from taking her away, Lucy was deeply grateful to Steven, developing a deep relationship with him although it would remain platonic despite everyone else's bias.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p.2-11</ref><br />
<br />
Lucy isn't shown interacting much with other people, usually being rather withdrawn compared to Steven's bombastic public persona. However, she is the only one who knows about his moments of doubt and sadness and during them encourages her husband.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 1}}, p.35</ref> When interacting with other people, Lucy usually acts polite and rather meek.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lucy personality.png|thumb|Without a Stand and despite being afraid, Lucy still tries to fight]]<br />
As Steven's wife, Lucy is extremely loyal to him and her every action during the course of the Steel Ball Run is performed in order to protect him from danger. As such, despite being a frail and Stand-less person, Lucy constantly throws herself into dangerous actions without hesitation. Not only does she infiltrate several well-protected facilities in order to undermine Funny Valentine,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 36}}, p.33</ref><ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 48}}, p.70</ref> she also has several perilous encounters against Stand Users such as [[Blackmore]],<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 38}}, p.2</ref> [[Mike O.]]<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 50}}, p.25</ref> or even [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]],<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 95}}, p.10</ref> all of whom try to kill her. She also plainly rejects [[Mountain Tim]]'s advances, stating her pride in being Steven's wife.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 37}}, p.26</ref><br />
<br />
Although she is prone to nervousness, Lucy is also an extremely resourceful girl, being adept at tricking people or performing other tricks to escape notice. She knows lip-reading<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 36}}, p.27</ref> and is a competent actor, which in conjunction with her status as the main promoter's wife, allows her to access several usually secure places. Even on the brink of capture or worse, Lucy can think of ways to escape using all available tools and allies. Lucy is ultimately the one who defeats Diego Brando by bringing his alternate self's head to him, killing him in spite of his formidable Stand.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 95}}, p.20</ref> Despite her gentle nature, Lucy also doesn't hesitate to fire at Blackmore<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 38}}, p14</ref> or stab Valentine,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 61}}, p.49</ref> showing a hidden ruthless side to her.<br />
<br />
Much later in her life, Lucy gained a spot in the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] as a botanist and geomorphologist. She is much more experienced, her expertise in her science makes her a perceptive woman, assessing the land of Morioh and investigating it for the [[Locacaca]]. Lucy is still kind and courageous, offering [[Fumi]] a job and investigating an ominous guard-rail. With age, she developed a philosophy about the idea of a purpose, or mission, chosen by a greater force that one latches onto to complete.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 109}}, p.15</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Ticket to Ride}}<br />
<br />
[[Funny Valentine]] identifies Lucy as compatible with the [[Saint's Corpse]] and catalyzes a fusion and metamorphosis between the two. A temporary Stand is created after the corpse fuses itself with Lucy, gathering inside her and taking over her bodily functions. While enacted, the Stand provides divine protection, which Funny uses to his [[D4C Love Train|advantage]] during his fight with the protagonists.<br />

<br />
===Lip-reading===<br />
Lucy is a lip reader, enabling her to spy on people and determine what they are saying purely through lip movement. It allowed her to know about the secret message [[Ringo Roadagain]] sent to Valentine and intercept it before the President.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Lucy lived in a family of [[Pendleton Children|six siblings]] and was the second eldest of the bunch. Her father, [[Adam Pendleton]], was a farmer who owned a small land in Oklahoma. At one point, Lucy met [[Steven Steel]] on the streets when he was penniless and drunk, listening to him mumbling about his plan of promoting a great horserace. Lucy encouraged him to run it and make as grandiose as could be with a continent-spanning route and a prize in the millions of dollars. Steven scoffed at the girl's ridiculous suggestions and left to drink.<br />
<br />
Lucy's mother, [[Alice Pendleton|Alice]], died at age thirty-seven when Lucy was only twelve, after which the family fell into misfortune. Lucy's father would later contract debt from the mafia and, being unable to bear having his land or eldest son taken from him, offered Lucy to them instead.<ref name="SBRC61" /><br />
<br />
[[File:steven & lucy.png|thumb|After their phony marriage, Steven & Lucy develop a strong friendship]]<br />
Then, Steven Steel manifested himself two years after meeting Lucy and ironically was on the verge of accomplishing what Lucy suggested then. Grateful for the girl who gave him a chance to bounce back, Steven went to the Pendleton house to pay back the girl and her father, only to be informed about the Pendleton's situation. It was then that Steven stepped in to repay the favor he owed Lucy. To save Lucy from working as a prostitute for the mafia, Steven told Lucy's father to tell the mafia that Lucy was previously defiled by him. Such a lie was easily believed by the gangsters, who accepted to have Steel repay the debt and Lucy married Steven to complete the lie.<br />
<br />
Indebted to the man, twelve year old Lucy Pendleton tells Steven that she "doesn't mind", and could be his "real wife" someday. Steven denies this firmly, and reassures the young girl that he won't ever lay a hand on her—asking only that she spare him the trouble of "her future boyfriend" being a mafia member. Moved, Lucy develops an intense and platonic bond of trust with Steven in the years leading up to the Steel Ball Run.<br />
<br />
===[[Steel Ball Run]]===<br />
<br />
====Following the Steel Ball Run race====<br />
[[File:lucy behind steven.png|thumb|At first, Lucy only supports Steven behind the scene]]<br />
As Steven Steel's wife, Lucy doesn't involve herself in the race, but nonetheless accompanies her husband to provide him moral support. In San Diego Beach, Lucy accompanies Steven while he oversees the preparation of the race. In private, she is here to reassure him whenever the pressure gets to him and he cries. During the press conference, a journalist tries to inquire about her and the Steel quickly go away. <br />
<br />
She accompanies Steven on the VIP train to follow the racers during the first stage. After the first stage, the Steels are brought to a crime scene where three racers were gruesomely disemboweled. Steven prevents her from seeing this however. It is there that she meets the cowboy [[Mountain Tim]], who gives her flowers and expresses disappointment in her being taken.<br />
<br />
====The true goal of the SBR====<br />
During the 2nd Stage, Lucy formally meets President [[Funny Valentine]] when she brings coffee to a meeting between Steven and Valentine. A guard blocks her path, making the coffee pot fall but the coffee pot then mysteriously disappears along with the coffee only to fall from the ceiling thanks to an [[Pork Pie Hat Kid|agent]] posted on the roof of the train. During the third stage, Lucy then eavesdrops on Valentine talking about the [[Saint's Corpse]]. Seeing a Heart merged in the President's chest, Lucy learns that the real goal of the race is to gather eight other such [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse Parts]] to complete a corpse. She is almost seen by Valentine when he checks outside of his wagon but manages to hide in another wagon.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 28}}</ref> From there on, Lucy stealthily keeps an eye on Valentine. <br />
<br />
[[File:lucy kansas city infiltration.png|thumb|left|Lucy steals a critical message and narrowly escapes]]<br />
In Kansas City, she observes the government building where [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] and [[Steven Steel|Steven]] are working from across the street and spies on the President with binoculars and lip-reading. Lucy takes note of an incoming message and eventually sees Valentine raising the possibility of killing [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. Fearful for her husband, Lucy decides to work to help the President's enemies. Pretending to deliver a forgotten lunch box, Lucy infiltrates the government building, reaches the rooftop and the aviary where messenger pigeons arrive and intercepts a {{MI|Ringo's Message|message}} from [[Ringo Roadagain]]. However, Valentine and one of [[Valentine's Subordinates]], [[Blackmore]] arrive. Lucy hastily hides under the aviary and is almost caught, but thankfully the pigeon flies away, distracting the two while she goes down the stairs. However, Blackmore and Valentine realize someone has just stolen the message and raise the alarm. Lucy is soon cornered in an office, with officers banging at the door while Blackmore approaches from the outside, hopping on raindrops. She has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]], who immediately comes to her aid. Stuck in the toilet, Lucy is saved from being discovered by Mountain Tim who sneaks through the ventilation system and also enables to fit through there with his Stand, [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Lucy and Tim take refuge in a hangar. Mountain Tim tries to woo her but she reaffirms her loyalty to Steven. Disappointed, Mountain Tim suggests that she contacts [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]]. Lucy deciphers Ringo's message, Lucy reaches the location of the Corpse Part and digs up the Spine, but Blackmore soon catches up with her.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 37}}</ref> <br />
<br />
[[File:lucy presents spine.png|thumb|Lucy presents the Spine to Johnny & Gyro]]<br />
[[Blackmore]] takes the Spine from Lucy, who seems powerless as she doesn't have a Stand, and tries to call the President. However, a spatial anomaly transports them elsewhere, cutting off the telephone line. At this point, a manifestation of the Corpse's power appears to Blackmore, allowing Lucy to shoot Blackmore and escape toward [[Gyro Zeppeli]] and [[Johnny Joestar]]. She meets them with the Spine, explains how she discovered Valentine's schemes and begs them to help her husband [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. When Blackmore comes, Lucy is almost killed by having water blades driven into her but Gyro manages to defeat Blackmore, who dies from his wounds. Lucy then reveals what she knows about the President's plot and explains that [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has the Heart, making him a Stand User. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] shoves Lucy on Johnny's horse and lets loose Lucy's horse to erase any trace of her presence. Gyro enlists her in a plan to steal the Heart from the President and though Lucy wanted to ask for their protection, Gyro tells her that she wouldn't want to live her whole life in fear of reprisal. To protect her husband, Lucy will have to go out to steal the Corpse Part. To help her, Gyro gives her the Right Eye since he still has his [[Spin]] mastery. Lucy reluctantly agrees and rejoins her husband without raising attention.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 40}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Lucy's Mission====<br />
[[File:lucy & scarlet.png|thumb|left|Lucy is able to approach [[Scarlet Valentine]] and infiltrate the presidential residence]]<br />
In Chicago, the investigation on the traitor who interfered in Kansas City closes in on Lucy. Nervous, Lucy enacts her plan. Following [[Scarlet Valentine]], the President's wife, she notices her unique tastes in literature and decides to seduce her. Moreover, Lucy meets [[Hot Pants]], who has guessed that she is the traitor. Hot Pants also helps her, using [[Cream Starter]] to give Lucy two doses of an instantaneous sleeping agent as well as a ready-to-use disguise on her face. Lucy thus ostentatiously reads a book that Scarlet has read, enabling her to engage a conversation and seduce the First Lady. <br />
<br />
[[File:lucy disguised.png|thumb|As the mission goes wrong, Lucy is forced to pose as Scarlet]]<br />
In the presidential compound, Lucy shares a moment with Scarlet and puts her to sleep before heading for Valentine's room, where the President supposedly takes his naps. When she reaches the bedroom, Valentine wakes up and the balloon guard dogs created by [[Tubular Bells]] are roused by her scent. Lucy disguises herself as Scarlet and manages to put him to sleep. However, Lucy discovers that the President now has many more [[Corpse Parts]] than the Heart and the dogs begin to attack, turning back into nails in her body. Worse, Scarlet has come to the bedroom and surprises her. Scarlet draws a gun and shoots Lucy, who tackles the First Lady into the bathroom. Scarlet manages to pin Lucy as the guard dogs approach, but Lucy then sheds her fake skin, misleading the dogs into killing Scarlet. The head of security [[Mike O.]] and [[Hot Pants]] arrive at the same time and a fight ensues between them. Mike O. is eventually killed by Hot Pants. However, Lucy cannot escape and is forced to disguise herself as Scarlet again.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 50}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Valentine eventually realizes that his wife is not herself. In Philadelphia in Independence Hall, the two participate in a music session. He takes the occasion to confront his "wife", knowing that she is an impostor, and confesses that she is strangely charming. The Right Eye falls out of Lucy's pocket and rolls towards the Corpse' hiding spot in an adjacent room. Valentine notices her interest in the room and in return, she asks him the reason of his interest in the race to change the subject of the conversation. Valentine thus explains himself, his philosophy and how obtaining the Corpse will allow America to stand atop the world.<br />
<br />
[[File:lucy pregnant.png|thumb|left|Lucy is pregnant with the Corpse]]<br />
Excited by his speech, Valentine forces himself on "Scarlet", who draws a knife and tries to stab him. Valentine grabs her wrist at first but Lucy surprises him by shedding her disguise. Valentine is shocked to see her and is stabbed in the throat, but surprisingly disappears under a chair only to return, seemingly unscathed. Lucy tries to trick Valentine into following a false trail by dispersing her clothes in the corridor but keeps hiding in the room and sneaks where the Corpse is stored. Lucy tries to seek a way to escape but only finds the [[Saint's Corpse]]. It is revealed that Lucy is the host of the Head, pregnant with the Corpse.<br />
<br />
Transported to another room, Lucy regains consciousness when she hears a voice and overhears the presidential aides letting Steven Steel die from his wounds. A voice tells her to "cut" while she tries to escape and is noticed by the aides. Manhandled by the aides who try to inject a sedative in her, Lucy tries to use her tears as a knife, it doesn't accomplish anything directly, but a series of incredible events manage to save her and kill the aides. Lucy transports Steven to a coach and forces the driver to bring them out of the compound, still guided by the voice. To her horror, Lucy eventually arrives to the USS Blue Hawaii, Valentine's ship. The President has been guiding her to him.<br />
<br />
====The End of the Race====<br />
[[File:lucy transformation.png|thumb|left|Lucy turns into a goddess]]<br />
Lucy is brought to [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]]'s ship and tries to leave a message for her allies but Valentine sees it. Lucy expects his fury but Valentine surprisingly swears not to kill [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. They subsequently depart for New Jersey, eventually taking a train.<br />
<br />
Having absorbed the entire [[Saint's Corpse]], Lucy begins to experience drastic changes and supernatural phenomenons. Her skins sheds as she becomes the Corpse itself and spatial anomalies occur near her. Eventually, Lucy loses consciousness and becomes the Corpse, granting Valentine the ability [[D4C Love Train]]. During [[Gyro Zeppeli]] and [[Johnny Joestar]]'s battle against Valentine, Steven manages to lift her out of the train and put her in Gyro's care, inadvertently saving Johnny. Johnny eventually defeats Valentine and the [[Saint's Corpse]] separates itself from Lucy.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lucy end.png|thumb|Lucy's woes have ended]]<br />
After Funny Valentine is defeated at the hands of Johnny and the completed Corpse removed itself from her body, she is reunited with Steven. However, Johnny notices that the Corpse had just been taken by someone working with Funny Valentine and chases after him to reclaim it. Lucy notices that the horse tracks start from the hole Funny Valentine left in his wake and puts together that the thief is in fact [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando from an alternate dimension]], whom she plans to confront at the shelter that was made to house the Corpse should Johnny fail to retrieve it first. Lucy finds the alternate Diego in the vault beneath Trinity Church. [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]] pins Lucy against the wall and Diego checks that no one else is around. Confronting the girl, Diego asks why Lucy is here to which she answers that she crossed the continent for happiness. Diego says that he plans to kill [[Steven Steel]] because he knows too much, but lusts after Lucy and plans on making her his woman. However, Lucy give him the severed head of Diego. Realizing the danger, Diego stops time and tries to flee, but his missing leg prevents him from doing that. Furious, Diego tries to kill Lucy instead but the head of the original [[Diego Brando]] flies towards him. Diego's head explodes and is disintegrated, killing the jockey. Satisfied, Lucy leaves the vault, her heart at peace.<br />
<br />
===[[JoJolion]]===<br />
[[File:LucySPW.jpg|thumb|right|Lucy in 1901 at [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]]]<br />
At some point after the Steel Ball Run race, Lucy joins the [[Speedwagon Foundation]], an organization dedicated to the progression of science, specializing in {{W|botany}} and {{W|geomorphology}}.<ref name="JJL109" /><br />
<br />
In 1901, the [[Saint's Corpse]] goes missing from its safe as it was stolen by [[Johnny Joestar]]. Along with other government officials, Lucy searches for the perpetrator and follows Johnny to [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]. They eventually find Johnny's corpse underneath a boulder by the twin pines on November 12, a day after he died. Lucy and the others retrieve the corpse in a suitcase with the logo of the Speedwagon Foundation and take it back with them to America.<ref name="JJL22">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 22}}</ref><ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Some time in 1941, a widowed Lucy arrives in S-City to investigate the place of the twin pines {{Morioh8}}. She has heard about a "Radio Gaga incident" in which a young woman has disappeared in mysterious circumstances near the place. Already in the know about the existences of plots of lands which, like the [[Devil's Palm]], have supernatural properties, and suspecting that the [[Locacaca]] might be growing here, Lucy decides to investigate. When she arrives at the train station, her luggage containing a camera equipment is stolen, but local boy named [[Fumi]] manages to knock down the thief, forcing him to abandon the luggage before he flees. Though she offers him 20,000 yen to tour her in the city, the boy politely declines the offer as he is supposed to meet his girlfriend. He notices her holding a photograph of an orchard to which he calls the place of "The Radio Gaga Incident", a place of bad luck with numerous deaths in the past. With his wallet suddenly stolen, he then takes her offer. Fumi wonders if Lucy was going to the orchard because of the local legend, in which a woman had followed a strange voice near a guard rail and begun to strip herself. She later disappeared after a farmer's truck passes by, leaving only a piece of her bloodied foot behind. Lucy only says that she was investigating the site as her "mission", as if it was a command from heaven.<ref name="JJL109" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Lucy Guardrail.png|thumb|200px|left|Lucy's clothes dragged into the guard rail]]<br />
Fumi and Lucy are driven to Morioh's hunting grounds near the orchard owned by the [[Higashikata]] family. As she uses her spyglass to observe the Higashikata house, Fumi finds the remains of a bird under his foot. He freaks out after Lucy's driver appears behind him, seemingly entranced by a voice only he can hear. He begins to strip down naked, just like the victims in the local legend. Panicking, Fumi calls Lucy's attention before a truck passes on the road and the driver disappears. Fumi inspects the remaining clothes but only finds a severed hand. Lucy explains why she came to Morioh. Suddenly, Lucy hears strange voices and is sucked into a gap between the guard rails. Fumi can only watch her struggle.<br />

|{{Q|For happiness… It was for happiness that I crossed this continent… and came here.|Lucy Steel, {{Ch|SBR Chapter 95 }}}}<br />
|{{Q|As you live, you find something called a '''mission'''. Moreso than a job or something you chose, something that was chosen by some great flow. Like a command from Heaven.

Lucy Steel appears as a stage hazard on the ''Philadelphia Coastline'' stage. Her [[Ticket to Ride]] grants players who touch the column of light a stock of Heart Heat Gauge, only recurring if the light fades before anyone touches it.<br />

Lucy is a minor character in the light novel ''JORGE JOESTAR''. Dio's [[Beyond]] causes her womb to miraculously hold a supplemental head for the [[Saint's Corpse]]. Shortly after the death of the [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Parallel World Diego Brando]], the head of the original universe [[Dio Brando]] suddenly appears by Lucy at Trinity Church. Dio plans to reclaim his body, as his body parts scattered in this universe after his battle with [[Kars]] and became what was known as the "Saint's Corpse" in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]]. Dio thanks Lucy because her giving birth to the supplemental head allowed Dio to reach this spot where all his body parts were gathered without Funny Valentine or anyone in the race suspecting the truth of where the corpse's head had gone.<br />
<br />
After the battle with Dio is over, Lucy stares at [[Erina Pendleton|Erina]]. They mention how their maiden names are both Pendleton and discuss how it is important to keep faith. The two are glad they could meet each other and tears run down Lucy's cheeks, although she doesn't know why.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref><br />

{{Nihongo|'''Fumi'''|文|Fumi}} is a tertiary character featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.<br />
<br />
He is a young man living in [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] who accepts a job offer from [[Lucy Steel]] to be her local guide and carry her luggage and camera equipment.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Fumi is a teenager of above average height with an impressive physique, as noted by Lucy.<ref name="JJL109" /> He has short light hair styled in a buzz cut with three small spheres in the center. Under the spheres, two strands of hair stick out over his forehead, with one strand being longer than the other. He wears a cashmere V-neck sweater with a striped collar. On the left of his sweater is a symbol of a large horseshoe framing an image of the dark silhouette of a rearing horse's head, similar to [[Johnny Joestar]]'s hat. He also has a collared long sleeve shirt underneath his sweater, with buttons beside the collars. Fumi wears baggy shorts with a waist bag on each side and {{W|Geta (footwear)|geta sandals}}.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Fumi is a polite teenager who doesn't hesitate to help an elderly woman retrieve her stolen luggage from a thief. He formally refers to Lucy as "madam" before learning her name and cares for her well-being when she starts coughing. He is knowledgeable of Morioh's history and landmarks.<ref name="JJL109" /><br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
'''Strength:''' Fumi possesses a physique described as being quite impressive by Lucy, supported by the fact that he was able to throw one of his sandals with one foot hard enough to stop a thief on the run.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Radio Gaga Incident===<br />
Fumi travels to the station in S City to pick up his girlfriend, planning to go on a date to an amusement park and then go eat sushi. Before his girlfriend arrives, he witnesses a thief steal an elderly woman's luggage when the thief bumps into him. Fumi quickly kicks his sandal at the thief from behind which knocks the man down. As the man runs away, Fumi retrieves the woman's luggage and returns it to her.<br />
<br />
The woman offers Fumi 20,000 yen to be her local guide around the city and to carry her heavy equipment. However, Fumi refuses because of his plans with his girlfriend. He notices her holding a photograph of an orchard to which he calls the place of "The Radio Gaga Incident", a place of bad luck with numerous deaths in the past. Fumi's girlfriend arrives in the station, although Fumi realizes that the thief robbed his wallet before running away, forcing Fumi to set the date aside and accept the woman's offer. She introduces herself as [[Lucy Steel]], working for the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] specializing in {{W|botany}} and {{W|geomorphology}}. He wonders if she was going to the orchard because of a crime that had happened there, but she says that she had come from America to investigate the site as her "mission", as if it was a command from heaven.<br />
<br />
Fumi, Lucy, and Lucy's driver later arrive at Morioh's hunting grounds near the orchard owned by the [[Higashikata Fruit Company]]. As Lucy inspects the site and observes the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata house]] with a telescope, Fumi finds the remains of a bird under his foot. He freaks out after Lucy's driver appears behind him, seemingly entranced by a voice only he can hear. He begins to strip down naked and approaches the guard rail, just like the victims in the local legend. Panicking, Fumi calls Lucy's attention before a truck passes on the road and the driver disappears. Fumi inspects the remaining clothes and only finds a severed hand. He tells Lucy to flee as soon as possible but she refuses, explaining that she came to Morioh after discovering that a plant named the "[[Locacaca]]" had been growing in the cursed land that was similar to the [[Devil's Palm]] in America. Suddenly, Lucy hears strange voices and is sucked into a gap between the guard rails. Fumi can only watch her struggle as the guard rail is revealed to be made of human remains.<ref name="JJL109" /><br />

{{Quote|If I get 4 symbols on me... Without a doubt, only '''misery''' can come from this room!|[[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]]|[[JJL Chapter 5]]}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Fun Fun Fun'''|ファン・ファン・ファン|Fan Fan Fan}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Ojiro Sasame]], featured in the 8th part of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, ''[[JoJolion]]''.When Ojiro stands above someone and their limbs are injured, Fun Fun Fun marks the wounded limb and can control it.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Fun Fun Fun possesses a bell-like head, lined vertically, and a humanoid torso; its waist utterly emaciated, truncated mid-hip. From its hips hang four small leg-like vestiges, while it stands on four disc-like feet from four long, bending legs or tendrils hanging from its shoulders; capped by four thin, sharp shoulder pads. Two roughly Q-shaped pieces rest atop its head, facing its sides, with two smaller shapes on its collar, one large in the center of its chest, and one small on the buckle of a thick, studded belt that sits loosely on its hips.<br />
<br />
It has the image of a stethoscope, since it listens in to figure out what's happening on the floor below it. Its head is based on a lemon juicer.<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: STANDS - Comments by Hirohiko Araki<sup>[http://pastebin.com/2DsiaZLy]</sup>''</ref><br />
<br />
Fun Fun Fun is white and purple in the [[JOJO-D|colored manga.]]<br />
<br />
====Color Schemes====<br />
{{CS<br />
|bg={{Color|JJL}}<br />
|{{Palette|Body|#F3F3FD|#AD9AE5|desc=Titanium white, purple belt}}<br />
{{Palette|Symbol|#8a0e04|desc=Blood red}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
{{Quote|They'll hear you upstairs... But we're still okay... '''4.''' As long as you don't have that many taken from you... you just don't want them standing '''directly above''' you. If they stand just '''above''' you, it's over.|[[Kidnapped Girl]], {{Ch|JJL Chapter 4}}}}<br />
Because Fun Fun Fun's ability is difficult to set up, and it has no physical ability whatsoever, it is unsuitable for direct combat. Ojiro typically uses his Stand to torment ordinary people, and prefers to set up traps to take control of an enemy.<br />
<br />
===Body Puppeteering===<br />
[[File:FunFunFunSymbol.PNG|thumb|Fun Fun Fun's symbol shows the marked limb as being under Ojiro's control]]<br />
From above, Fun Fun Fun can control a target's movements through their wounds, similar to a {{W|marionette}}.<br />
<br />
If a target incurs the slightest injury on their body while being physically under Fun Fun Fun, notably the hands or feet, the blood flowing from the injury clots to form a symbol in the shape of a "Q".<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 3}}</ref> The corresponding injured limb then falls under Ojiro's control, allowing him to move it as he pleases.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 4}}</ref> If a mark accumulates on all four of the victim's limbs, the victim is essentially under Ojiro's control absolutely. Nonetheless, the victim can still freely talk and move other unmarked parts of the body like the shoulders. Moreover, once Ojiro takes complete control of a victim, they are locked beneath him and will follow him if he moves.<ref name=":1">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 5}}</ref><br />
<br />
The marks seem to pop out and act as pins whenever Ojiro is pinning them down.<ref name=":2">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 6}}</ref><br />
<br />
The marks on the injured body part gain volume when Ojiro actively controls a target.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
Ojiro can remove a victim from his control at will, removing their marks.<ref name=":1" /> Another way the victim can be completely freed and removed of their marks is if Ojiro is no longer above them.<ref name=":2" /><br />
<br />
However, Ojiro must be physically above his victims to control them and be conscious about it. One may stand beneath him with all four limbs marked and be free of their movement if Ojiro loses track of their position (for instance, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] made the room he was trapped in soundproof in order to throw Ojiro off).<ref name=":0" /> An injury doesn't transform into a symbol unless Ojiro stands above the victim.<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
When Ojiro later returns, Fun Fun Fun is able to place its mark on the victim's limbs by touching them without needing to injure them first.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 87}}</ref><br />

{{Quote|When everything's over, all that will remain... is '''dreams and memories'''.|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 104]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
Hoewever, if Tooru is cornered enough, he is willing to attack Yasuho, as seen when he try to heal himself by using her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]], Tooru's Stand decides not to stay in the hospital any longer, sensing the potential danger that Josuke could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Despite his injuries, he perseveres and attempts to heal himself by using Yasuho to his advantage, rushing toward her to perform an [[Equivalent Exchange|equivalent exchange]] with the new Locacaca.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name=JJL107P16>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his longevity and his different physiognomy, Tooru, adapts a world of thoughts of life that is based on memories and dreams. The latter seeing the humans parade and die before his eyes, thinking that at the end of all things, there are only past memories and dreams, and that this is in the end the only important thing, because it will only be what it will remain forever. Tooru also apply this view on others, like he did with Kaato, saying that the only thing that will be remembered about Kaato in the end will be cruelty.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />
<br />
{{StandBox<br />

|Debut={{Ch3|JJL Chapter 84}}<br />
|Type={{ST|Automatic}}, {{ST|Sentient}}, {{ST|NH}}, {{ST|AH}}<br />
|Ability=Calamity Generation<br />
}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho. However, as Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at his [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] then suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />

{{Quote|When everything's over, all that will remain... is '''dreams and memories'''.|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 104]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
Hoewever, if Tooru is cornered enough, he is willing to attack Yasuho, as seen when he try to heal himself by using her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]], Tooru's Stand decides not to stay in the hospital any longer, sensing the potential danger that Josuke could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Despite his injuries, he perseveres and attempts to heal himself by using Yasuho to his advantage, rushing toward her to perform an [[Equivalent Exchange|equivalent exchange]] with the new Locacaca.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name=JJL107P16>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his longevity and his different physiognomy, Tooru, adapts a world of thoughts of life that is based on memories and dreams. The latter seeing the humans parade and die before his eyes, thinking that at the end of all things, there are only past memories and dreams, and that this is in the end the only important thing, because it will only be what it will remain forever.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />
<br />
{{StandBox<br />

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

}}{{Quote|It is quite an unfortunate thing that's happened to you...|Yotsuyu Yagiyama to Aisho, [[JJL Chapter 42]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Aisho Dainenjiyama'''|大年寺山 愛唱|Dainenjiyama Aishō}} is a minor antagonist featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]'', most notably in the "[[Doobie Wah (story arc)|Doobie Wah]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
Aisho is a [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]] working as a security guard who secretly belongs to the [[Locacaca Organization]] as a dealer. When [[Yasuho Hirose]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] tail him in order to investigate the [[Locacaca]], he unleashes his [[Stand]], [[Doobie Wah!]], on them.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aisho is a slender man of average to below average height. His usual outfit is composed of a skin-tight black bodysuit with a hole in the chest, khaki shorts with a belt, and what appears to be layered sleeves tied around his neck. He also wears what appears to be a pair of sleeves wrapped around his head, allowing some of his hair to poke out through the holes.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:Aisho personality.jpg|thumb|When he's upset, Aisho tends to lose his cool]]<br />
Aisho is very nervous and paranoid most of the time. When he is upset, he tends to overreact to small things, such as a group of birds in the park.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 41}}, p.3</ref> He is also easily frightened and intimidated by enemies he can not see. He can get so worried that he will briefly experience flashbacks to previous traumatic times/experiences.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 41}}, p.4</ref> Aisho was once revealed to have been less capable of controlling his [[Rock Disease|rock physiology]], and may very well still be. This is evident in his inability to wake up for at least a month every time he falls asleep.<ref name="JJL42P4">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}}, p.4</ref> It is a combination of this fact and his naivete that led him to misplace his trust in a previous lover which culminated in her cheating on him and selling his house while he slept in his rock form.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}}, p.5 p.17</ref><br />
<br />
It seems to be implied that Dainenjiyama has some sort of heart condition, as he is commonly shown with several 'Doki Doki' sound effects (a Japanese word that refers to the sound of a beating heart) around his person. This is reinforced later when he is shown taking pills for his heart.<ref name="JJLC40">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 40}}</ref><br />
<br />
Aisho seems to have had a genuine love for his former girlfriend.<ref name="JJL42P4" /> He is also somewhat gullible or easily swayed, as [[Josefumi Kujo]] and [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] easily managed to influence him into buying a specific medicine by making him believe it was highly sought after, even if he didn't seem to need the medicine.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 51}}, p.5</ref><br />
<br />
As a member of the [[Locacaca Organization]], Aisho is ready to kill anyone who might learn the secret of the [[Locacaca]] and was ready to kill [[Tsurugi Higashikata]], a little boy and the son of his associate [[Jobin Higashikata]], in cold blood.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}}, p.38</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Doobie Wah!}}<br />
<br />
Aisho's [[Stand]] Doobie Wah! is able to create miniature tornadoes that automatically pursue its targets. It is capable of cutting flesh using the tornadoes' bases. This Stand is incredibly powerful, almost impossible to avoid or negate without ceasing to breathe entirely.<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Aisho was originally born as a nameless [[Rock Humans|Rock Human]]. At some point in the past, Aisho acquired his identity as "Aisho Dainenjiyama", worked as a security guard at [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]]'s baseball stadium. At the same, he was employed as a dealer for the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
[[File:aisho & girlfriend.png|thumb|left|Aisho and his human girlfriend]]<br />
In the past, Aisho owned a house and property in the countryside which his girlfriend would frequent during his periods of consciousness. During one such occasion, overcome with love and trust for this woman, he confided in her his secret and the conditions that caused him to disappear for a month at a time, thinking that she could be relied upon.<ref name="JJLC42">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 42}}</ref> Due to this mistake, after waking up from his next sleep cycle he was shocked to find that his house was being demolished. His friend [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] rescued him and explained to him the situation; his girlfriend had not only cheated on him while he slept, but had also stolen the deed to his land and sold it to property developers so she could disappear with the money.<br />
<br />
Aisho eventually came to be employed at the stadium that Yotsuyu designed. While secretly importing the fruits from Port Moresby to Morioh, Aisho was discovered by [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] while in rock form after the crate he was hiding in was damaged. Kira would then follow him and discover the trade of the [[Locacaca]]. He is shown making a trade with the loca baseball star [[Atsunori Iwakiri]], giving him a Locacaca for 200 million yen. At the same time, he's observed by Kira.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Kira and Josefumi Kujo stole a branch of the Locacaca from Aisho. In a local pharmacy when another client, [[Josefumi Kujo|Josefumi]] took all the boxes of an eye medicine called "[[Minor Items#Eye Eye Syaa|Eye Eye Syaa]]" save one, openly praising its potency and rarity. When Kira asked if there are any Eye Eye Syaa, Aisho was persuaded of its value and quickly took the last box for himself. On his way to another sale, Aisho tried the medicine. At that moment, [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Killer Queen]] burst a motorcycle's front wheel and caused an accident, which caught Aisho's attention. Immediately after this, Josefumi stealthily opened the case that Aisho uses to transport the [[Locacaca]] and stole some branches, replacing them with branches from another tree. Aisho didn't notice the theft as his sight is partially blocked by [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles. Josefumi and Kira then depart, having successfully stolen the Locacaca branches.<ref>[[Vitamin C and Killer Queen (story arc)]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Confronting Yasuho and Tsurugi===<br />
{{Main|Doobie Wah (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[File:aisho dealing fruit.png|thumb|left|Aisho transporting a fruit]]<br />
Aisho is first introduced into the story being viewed via [[Paisley Park]] interfacing with the security footage of Jobin being handed the mysterious fruit at a red light by Aisho. Yasuho proceeds to use her abilities to track his movements back to the stadium where he works and she theorizes that he must be keeping the trees which grow the fruits there.<br />
<br />
Through the combined powers of Paisley Park and [[Paper Moon King]], they are able to follow him by shaping a phone into one of Tsurugi's living origami. After witnessing Aisho delivering the fruit to an elderly wheelchair ridden man they observe it's restorative abilities first-hand; regenerating the man's lost leg while simultaneously performing 'equivalent exchange' by rendering him blind, although he rationalizes this by saying he can always buy another fruit to restore his sight and perpetuate the cycle.<br />
<br />
Aisho soon realizes he is being followed and stomps on the origami, causing proportionate damage to both Yasuho and Tsurugi, and if not for Tsurugi's Paper Moon King making Aisho incapable of differentiating between the living origami and the surrounding foliage, their combined Stands would have not escaped. Distraught at the revelation that multiple Stand-users appear to be following him, Aisho promptly attempts to get in contact with Yotsuyu only to become more distressed when he finds that his number is out of service. Fearful that unidentified parties might have done something to his friend, he activates and sets his Stand [[Doobie Wah!]] on his trackers in hopes of killing them swiftly.<br />
<br />
While his automatic Stand pursues the two of them Aisho tracks Doobie Wah!'s movement while contacting [[Jobin Higashikata]] to inquire about Yotsuyu's status and to see if he is in any way involved in these occurrences. Satisfied that Jobin is telling the truth, he converges on Yasuho and Tsurugi's location after the pair have had several near-fatal encounters with his Stand and confronts the two on their motives.<br />
<br />
[[File:aisho run over.png|thumb|Aisho is run over by a bus, which kills him]]<br />
No sooner than he discovers the identity of one of his stalkers to be that of Tsurugi Higashikata, Jobin's son, does Jobin himself arrive on the scene. Aisho quickly turns to question Jobin about his involvement in this conspiracy and to force him to consent to Aisho killing Tsurugi as a means of assuring his sincerity.<br />
However he is too late to discover that Jobin's figure is none other than the distorted image of an approaching bus and that he has been under the effects of Tsurugi's Stand this entire time. This revelation comes too late, however, and he is struck by the bus and killed,<ref name="JJLC42" /> at which point his body shatters into rock and is scattered across the street.<br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
Hoewever, if Tooru is cornered enough, he is willing to attack Yasuho, as seen when he try to heal himself by using her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]], Tooru's Stand decides not to stay in the hospital any longer, sensing the potential danger that Josuke could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref> Despite his injuries, he perseveres and attempts to heal himself by using Yasuho to his advantage, rushing toward her to perform an [[Equivalent Exchange|equivalent exchange]] with the new Locacaca.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 106}}</ref> Even when he's surrounded and deeply wounded, Tooru has the presence of mind to try and taunt [[Kaato Higashikata]] about her son to goad her into attacking him, although his ploy doesn't work as intended.<ref name=JJL107P16>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}, p.16</ref><br />
<br />
Due to his longevity and his different physiognomy, Tooru, adapts a world of thoughts of life that is based on memories and dreams. The latter seeing the humans parade and die before his eyes, thinking that at the end of all things, there are only past memories and dreams, and that this is in the end the only important thing, because it will only be what it will remain forever. <ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 107}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />

|Ability=Calamity Generation<br />
}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />

[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho. However, as Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at his [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] then suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
<br />
<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

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

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

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

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

}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]===<br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />

Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho. However, as Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at his [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] then suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
<br />
<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tsurugi Tooru equivalent exchange.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Wounded and having eaten a Locacaca, Tooru is forced to undergo an equivalent exchange with Tsurugi]]<br />
Tooru crawls on the ground bleeding profusely, looking straight ahead at Kaato and planning to use her anger to bring out his ability. She begins to explain her stew recipe, which was Jobin's favorite. Tooru grabs a nearby saw and slowly gets back up. He begins to monologue about rocks atop the coastal cliffs, the memories and dreams it experiences. He taunts Kaato about her son's dreams and desires, how they never came to fruition. He attempts to stab Kaato but gets caught up in her stand's ability [[Space Trucking]], the cards pin Tooru down and [[Wonder of U]] appears floating outside the garage. However, Kaato has no real intention to harm and instead begins to explain her ability. Tooru's bewildered about her true motives and questions her goals. When Kaato begins to open her deck of cards he immediately notices something between them and begins to panic. He demands to know what's between her cards, and Kaato answers that it's her family's curse. The deck is open and between those cards is [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] suffering from the Rock Disease. Tsurugi makes contact with Tooru and the equivalent exchange begins, Kaato's intentions are revealed. She came to the garage to perform an exchange on Tooru to cure Tsurugi.<br />

{{Quote|SPEEEEEYYYYYY SPEYAHH!|Speed King's [[Stand Cry|battle cry]]}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Speed King'''|スピード・キング|Supīdo Kingu}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Jobin Higashikata]], featured in the eighth part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], ''[[JoJolion]]''. It is a short-range humanoid Stand that can store heat in the locations it touches.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Speed King has a humanoid appearance. It possesses a mannequin-like body and a human-like face with holes for eyes (later depicted as goggles) and a flat raised surface resembling a nose, as well as a fisherman's cap with several metal spikes along the brim and various strings of equal length sticking out from both sides. It has two large horns on each side of its head, a wide mouth, bearing gritted teeth along with pores and bumps over its 'skin'.<br />
<br />
It appears to have robotic joints across its arms, and a flat chest covered in pores and bumps similar to its face (earlier depicted with a fur-like texture covering the chest). Speed King's body becomes very skeletal and robotic below chest-level, lacking much of an abdomen and instead having metal bars and other apparatuses connecting it to its lower body.<br />
<br />
Speed King is bright orange and red in the [[JOJO-D|colored manga]].<br />
<br />

<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Speed King is shown to be physically able enough to rapidly pummel enemies.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 73}}</ref><br />
<br />
====Heat Accumulation====<br />
[[File:SpeedHeat.png|thumb|right|200px|Heat accumulating on Ojiro's face]]<br />
As explained by Jobin, Speed King has the primary ability to store heat and temperature within a short localized point, from single objects such as the surface of paper money or even a particular spot on the human body.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}, p.40</ref> However, the heat can then be transferred to anyone who touches said point where the heat is stored. Speed King can only affect objects within 10 centimeters,<ref name="JJLvol10">[[JJL Volume 10]]</ref> but it is shown that said objects can travel far away from Jobin and still be affected by Speed King's heat storage. For instance [[Ojiro Sasame]] could travel from the [[Higashikata House]] to downtown [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] and still be affected.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 88}}, p.26-30</ref><br />
<br />
Since Jobin can heat sodium chlorate enough to produce oxygen,<ref name="JJLC73"/> it can be inferred that it can raise the temperature to at least 300&nbsp;°C. He has used it to melt the wax stuffed into his beetles after brushing them with a paintbrush and has given [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] a nosebleed simply after offering some tissues to wipe his face with. This power can be weaponized and used to heat people's blood vessels, boiling the blood inside to render them unconscious or even kill them,<ref name="JJLC62">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 62}}</ref> when applied to the temples the heat can become so damaging the eyes burst.<br />

*Like all other Stands used by members of the Higashikata Family, its name includes the word "King".<br />

*The "Mera" part from its [[Stand Cry]] is a Japanese onomatopoeia for burning flames.<br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

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

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

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Tooru's_appearance.png|frameless|left|175px]]<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

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

While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected.

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

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru is a cautious individual who does not take unnecessary risks and prioritizes his safety above all else. After being injured by [[Soft & Wet|Josuke's bubbles]], Tooru's Stand decides not to stay in the hospital any longer, sensing the potential danger that Josuke could pose to him.<ref name="JJL104" /><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}</ref><br />
<br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />
<br />

|Type={{ST|Automatic}}, {{ST|Sentient}}, {{ST|NH}}, {{ST|AH}}<br />
|Ability=Calamity Generation<br />
}}<br />
<br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He made up his own name, as with other Rock Humans, however his last name is unknown, and it is unknown if he stole the identity of another human or not.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then travelled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name="JJL99">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Yasuho never learned his last name in their time together.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]===<br />
Tooru along with his colleague, [[Wu Tomoki]], attempt to meet with [[Poor Tom]] to retrieve the grafted Locacaca branch. They disguise as ambulance drivers and arrive at the [[Higashikata House|Higashikata orchard]]. As Poor Tom approaches the ambulance that Wu and Tooru are in, he is suddenly struck down by a calamity because of his "pursuit" for Tooru, killing him instantly.<ref name="JJL104">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 104}}</ref> While the two manage to grab the branch after leaving Poor Tom behind, they are tricked by [[Jobin Higashikata|Jobin]] and [[Tsurugi Higashikata]] into getting an ordinary pear branch instead. They realize it was someone else other than Josuke and Poor Tom who lit the orchard on fire and that the other party now has the real Locacaca branch.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]===<br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with Wu Tomoki at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />

[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru senses Josuke's plan through his stand]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
===[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]===<br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tooru_is_fatally_hit.png|thumb|Tooru is hit by [[Soft & Wet: Go Beyond]]'s bubbles]]<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish off Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho. However, as Josuke keeps shooting bubbles at his [[Wonder of U]], [[Paisley Park]] then suddenly transports one invisible bubble with it from the hospital to the house via the cell phone connection. The bubble then flies towards Tooru.<br />
<br />
The invisible bubble flies towards Tooru, disappearing and reappearing inside of his abdomen. This attack knocks away Tooru with the Locacaca pot and stops Wonder of U's calamity, saving Yasuho from the approaching plane panel that hits the Higashikata house instead. Josuke explains to Yasuho over the phone that the bubble from his shoulder cannot be controlled, but has an "invisible spin", and it was with Paisley Park's help that he was able to overcome the calamity using this profound ability. At the same time, Tooru gets back up and eats the remaining Locacaca fruit and runs towards Yasuho, bleeding out from his injury. [[Joshu Higashikata|Joshu]] attempts to stop him but a rain gutter strikes him on his head knocking him out. Tooru reaches Yasuho preparing to perform the exchange, but just in-time, Yasuho aims the phone at him and another [[Soft & Wet#Soft & Wet: Go Beyond|invisible bubble]] shoots out piercing his chest and throat. Tooru is sent flying again, hitting a car and landing on the garage floor, he crawls towards the door in the garage where a mourning [[Kaato Higashikata]] stands.<br />

{{Quote|I am Wonder of U. The '''flow''' of things will always lead to calamity.|Wonder of U|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Wonder of U'''|ワンダー・オブ・{{Ruby|U|ユー}}|Wandā Obu Yū}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Tooru]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]'', and introduced in the "[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
It is a sentient Stand that acts as the head doctor of [[TG University Hospital]] using the name {{Nihongo|'''[[Satoru Akefu]]'''|明負 悟|Akefu Satoru}}. Wonder of U is capable of causing a disaster to anyone who pursues its doctor appearance or works against it.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:WoU_Full_body_art.png|borderless|left|frameless|170px]]<br />
Wonder of U is an artificial humanoid Stand, appearing robotic featuring a massive torso but thin, tubular arms, each of the articulations on those arms and the waist are pivot joints. Its entire body is covered with circular ridges that are evenly spaced, most notably the face that has exactly three below the nose level. It also has long curved blades at each wrist much like [[Kars]].<br />
<br />
Its head has a flattened ovoid shape and with a face only portrayed by only two coin-like eyes and the ridges below them. The entire face is framed by two pairs metallic sticks, the larger pair curves and rides along the side of the top of the head. In early appearances of it, the eyes were drawn with triangles making them appear like suns, similar to the sun motif found on Tooru's outfit.<br />
<br />
Appearance differs depending on who sees it, to the general public, it appears as an elderly hunched man with a monocle along with his can. In his human disguise, the arms and legs are noticeably slimmer than the rest of its body. He wears a bowler hat, dress shoes, a suit, along with a scarf speckled by irregular hyphen-shaped slits. Despite his stand based existence, the clothes it wears have been shown to be somewhat tangible. Those who are aware of its ability see its true face.<ref name="JJL101">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 101}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> <br />
<br />
Once it is revealed that Satoru Akefu and Wonder of U are the same entity, Wonder of U keeps Satoru's outfit and accessories yet his head doctor illusion appears increasing less to Rai Mamezuku and Josuke Higashikata as they understand the illusion more.<br />
<br />
===Color Schemes===<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{Main|Satoru Akefu}}<br />
<br />
{{See also|Tooru}}<br />
<br />
Wonder of U demonstrates an antisocial behavior, completely ignoring {{Josuke8}}, [[Yasuho Hirose]], and [[Rai Mamezuku]], when they first pursue it. Wonder of U remains calm as its automatic power allows it to get rid of any potential enemy before they can even harm it. Wonder of U is also perceptive, as it sees through a trap Josuke has been laying for it. Wonder of U is quite confident in his own abilities, stating that nothing can approach nor hurt him. In fact, he is surprised when Rai Mamezuku manages to get centimeters from him.<ref name="JJL100">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}}</ref> When he is finally wounded by Josuke's bubbles, Wonder of U is quite shocked that anyone could wound him.<ref name="JJL103">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 103}}</ref><br />
<br />
Wonder of U seems rather perceptive, as he sees through a trap Josuke has been laying for him, although it is [[Tooru]] who perceives the threat and makes Akefu stay out.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23</ref><br />
<br />
As the Stand of a [[Rock Human]], Satoru asserts his dominance, probably over humans in general, when he declares that "they" have no permission to possess anything, be it a pear orchard (referring to Mamezuku's Father) or the new [[Locacaca]] (referring to Josuke and Rai).<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}, p.45</ref> He also values the [[Locacaca|Locacaca6251]], noting their price tag of 200 million yen, but also highlighting their value to the world as a miracle medicine. The sight of Josuke wrecking his supply notably goads Wonder of U into approaching Josuke.<ref name="JJL103" /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
[[File:AkefuTransform.jpg|thumb|right|Wonder of U transforming]]<br />
===Identity Assumption===<br />
Wonder of U allows Tooru to lead a double-life under the assumed identity of [[Satoru Akefu]], allowing him to act as the head doctor of [[TG University Hospital|TG University hospital]]. This is done by Wonder of U taking on a human form, which unlike most Stands, can be seen by non-Stand users. This allows Tooru to gain access to both the hospital resources and presumed credentials needed to carry out his role as presumed mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<ref name="JJL99" /><br />
[[File:Wonder of U Projection.png|thumb|left|150px|Vision moving between two surfaces]] <br />
===Long-range Illusion Creation===<br />
Wonder of U is able to create multiple visions of itself, which can be designated to specific targets. These visions normally take on the form of Tooru's assumed identity, and typically position themselves so that their back faces a given target. Wonder of U has been shown to have a degree of control over who can and cannot see these visions. For example, a vision meant for [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] could not be seen by other members of the [[Higashikata Family|Higashikata family]],<ref name="JJL94">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 94}}</ref> while another vision of the Stand could be seen by a large audience attending the head doctor's presentation. Even in human form, Wonder of U's illusions are able to phase in and out of objects such as walls, and are able to travel across reflective surfaces.<ref name="JJL96">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 96}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Calamity Generation===<br />
[[File:Akefu Stand Appears.png|thumb|left|224x224px|Wonder of U descends on Josuke and company]]<br />
Wonder of U's primary ability is automatic and functions at a long range. It is extremely dangerous because there is little defense against it.<br />
<br />
Wonder of U's ability can be activated on any person who has looked at the Stand's back while in its human form. While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience horrible developments referred to as ''calamities''. Some calamities will be a result of the target's own behavior leading to an unusually detrimental result (i.e. Mitsuba cutting her hand while preparing food) while others take the form of environmental factors that would normally be harmless having an abnormally bad outcome (i.e. {{Josuke8|Josuke}} receiving near-lethal wounds from the impact of raindrops, or a light bulb in [[Mamezuku Rai|Mamezuku]]'s vicinity exploding). As a rule, Wonder of U's calamities always manifest themselves as some form of harmful collision. <br />
<br />
Once Wonder of U has locked onto a target, ''any'' attempt to pursue or otherwise harm Satoru Akefu will result in the ability reactivating. The threshold for reactivation is extremely sensitive, as the mere ''intent'' to confront the Stand's presumed user was enough for the ability to target and nearly kill Josuke.<ref name="JJL91">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 91}}</ref> While pursuit is the Stand's most common trigger, Wonder of U can also attack any person who sees the back of its presumed user, regardless of whether or not they hold the intent to pursue. This was demonstrated by Mamezuku, who showed another [[Bus Stop Murderer|prisoner]] in his holding cell a photograph of the Stand's back, resulting in the latter being mortally wounded.<ref name="JJL96" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Mitsuba attacked.png|thumb|304x304px|Wonder of U activates after Mitsuba looks at his back]]<br />
There is a strong correlation between the size of an object and how immediate and severe the injury will be upon impact. For example, while a discarded cigarette striking Josuke's hand resulted in it immediately piercing his palm,<ref name="JJL86">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 86}}</ref> colliding with an umbrella stand caused a much more serious wound on Mamezuku's leg, though with a noticeable delay between the collision and appearance of the injury.<ref name="JJL85">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}</ref> It seems that for collisions with larger objects, there's a waiting period in which the effects of this impact can be transferred to another person. A bystander was shown to suffer a sudden, fatal neck injury after coming into contact with Josuke's blood within moments of the latter being hit by a car during this Stand's attack.<ref name="JJL86" /> As stated by Mamezuku, the severity of the calamities caused by the head doctor to someone who is not pursuing him seem to function as a form of karma and are influenced by an individual's history. This is demonstrated when a convicted killer who caught a glimpse of Wonder of U's back received a calamity that resulted in a life-threatening wound, while Mamezuku's took the form of relatively harmless things, such as a light bulb bursting and maggots appearing in his uneaten food.<ref name="JJL96" /> This is further expanded upon by Wonder of U, stating that there is a "flow" of things that always results in calamity<ref name="JJL99" /> which was previously hinted at by Tooru.<ref name="JJL98">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 98}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, despite Wonder of U's seemingly unbeatable offensive ''and'' defensive capabilities, a possible weakness in its defense is noted by Josuke following his initial defeat by the Stand.<ref name="JJL97" /> By remaining completely idle and forcing the Stand to confront ''him'', Josuke was seemingly able to bypass the danger of the Stand's ability, as no behavior or environmental factors were present that could be extrapolated into a calamity. Non-existent things also won't be affected by it since it won't be seen as pursuit.<br />

{{Quote|If I can be even a little help to [[Holy Joestar-Kira|Holy]]...... That's my precious '''image of happiness'''.|Josefumi Kujo|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Josefumi Kujo'''|空条 仗世文|Kūjō Josefumi}} is a character featured in the eighth part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', ''[[JoJolion]]''. Josefumi is alluded to in {{Ch2|JJL Chapter 44}} but gains real significance in the "[[Vitamin C and Killer Queen (story arc)|Vitamin C and Killer Queen]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
Josefumi is the original identity of [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]], who he was reborn as after performing an [[Equivalent Exchange|equivalent exchange]] with [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]]. He is the son of [[Sadafumi Kujo]] and [[Kiyomi Kujo]], and used to be an agricultural student at TG University. Josefumi is a [[Stand]] user and the original wielder of [[Soft & Wet]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Josefumi is a man of slim to medium build and seemingly average height. He is similar to [[Diamond is Unbreakable|Part 4]]{{'}}s [[Josuke Higashikata]] in appearance, wearing metallic peace sign and heart pins on his clothes and styling his hair into a pompadour, albeit smaller and with the sides bleached. Josefumi wears a checker-patterned sweater over a loose-collared shirt with dark slacks.<br />
<br />
During his first appearance, he had multiple irises with a ripple-pattern similar to [[Crazy Diamond]].<br />
<br />
Josefumi also has a [[Joestar Birthmark|star-shaped birthmark]], which implies that he may be a member of the [[Joestar Family|Joestar family]], or at least a distant relative.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Not much is known about Josefumi Kujo, as he had exchanged parts of his body with Kira's corpse to become [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] prior to the start of ''JoJolion''. In general, Josefumi gives the impression of being an ordinary, kind young man.<br />
<br />
Josefumi shows a degree of resourcefulness, using his Stand power and knowledge to concoct a plan that would allow him and Kira to secretly steal some Locacaca branches and cultivate the fruit in secret. When push comes to shove, Josefumi can be remarkably brutal during a fight. When the [[A. Phex Brothers]] turned up to assassinate him, Josefumi violently beat them up, inflicting injuries such as kicking violently their tibias, or flinging a tree branch violently enough to pierce one's head, before inflicting a brutal beatdown with [[Soft & Wet]] that sent them down a cliff.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}, p.25-31</ref><br />
<br />
When given the opportunity by [[Tamaki Damo]] to let Kira die to save his own life, Josefemi's hidden sadness surfaces as he torments himself, saying that he always was abandoned and left out. He notably remembers the time when his mother [[Kiyomi Kujo|Kiyomi]] almost let him die in the sea,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p.7</ref> but his manner of speech implies that he's lived a unhappy solitary life. Thus, Josefumi seriously considered revealing the location of the [[Locacaca]] to save his life and sacrifice Yoshikage's when both were being tortured by Damo.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 52}}, p.16</ref> However, when Kira instead saved him, he was so moved that he attempted to sacrifice his own life to save Kira, showing that he greatly valued their friendship at heart.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}, p.39</ref><br />
<br />
He holds a sense of sentiment for [[Holy Joestar-Kira]] being grateful towards her for saving his life (with the assistance of her son's [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|power]]) when he was a boy.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p.14</ref> Out of gratitude, Josefumi would gladly do anything to help her.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}, p.25</ref> It is implied that he sees her as a kind of sacred mother figure.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 53}}, p.35</ref><br />
<br />
It doesn't seem that Josefumi ever interacted much with [[Karera Sakunami]], despite her crush on him and her constant stalking. He does find her cute<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 51}}, p.33</ref> but circumstances made it so he died before anything could happen between them.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Soft & Wet}}<br />
<br />
Originally Josefumi's Stand, Soft & Wet had the power to absorb aspects of things, an ability that it retained as the power to steal aspects of things post-fusion. It also produced bubbles, but they are not like the bubbles of Killer Queen, as they lack the star marking. Soft & Wet's bubbles eventually gain star markings after the [[Wall Eyes]] fuse Josefumi with Kira. <br />

<br />
[[File:JosefumiS&W_Coloured.png|thumb|Soft & Wet]]<br />
Josefumi is first shown demonstrating his Stand's ability when Kira unexpectedly meets him in a [[Morioh (JoJolion)|Morioh]] ramen shop when the pepper shaker lid comes off and spills too much pepper into his ramen, resulting in Josefumi using his Stand to pull the pepper out, completely dry.<br />
<br />
He also is shown using his Stand's power to perform a complex botanical grafting, an act he believes will be instrumental in helping Kira cure the mysterious illness affecting his mother Holy. He later uses this ability to forcibly feed Kira a [[Locacaca Tree|Locacaca]] fruit after the latter is killed by Tamaki Damo.<br />
<br />
===Personal Skills===<br />
<br />
*'''Horticulture:''' Josefumi possesses extensive knowledge about plants and is able to perform botanical grafting. Using Soft & Wet's bubbles, he can bind different branches together, making the cells of a tree branch adapt to the other.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 50}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:josefumi drowning.png|thumb|left|Josefumi's drowning accident]]<br />
As a child, Josefumi nearly drowned during an outing to the beach with his mother, being drawn underwater and striking his head on a rock, leaving him for dead. He ended up in the care of emergency room doctor [[Holy Joestar-Kira]], who recognized Josefumi was suffering from a fatal blood clot in his brain and asked her son [[Yoshikage Kira (JoJolion)|Yoshikage Kira]] to use his [[Killer Queen (JoJolion)|Stand]] to remove it, saving the young Josefumi's life.<br />
<br />
At some point, Josefumi attended T Academy to study agriculture, where he would meet [[Karera Sakunami]].<ref name="JJL47" /><ref name="JJL51" /><br />
<br />
Years later, he is seen eating in the same ramen shop as [[Ojiro Sasame]] and Kira. As Ojiro leaves the shop, he accidentally bumped into Josefumi, causing the latter to spill an excessive amount of pepper into his ramen, which he soon removed using his [[Soft & Wet|Stand]]. Kira quickly recognized him afterward.<br />
<br />
The two meet up in the park later on to devise a plan to steal the [[Locacaca Tree]] from [[Aisho Dainenjiyama]], as Kira wanted the fruit to save his mother. Josefumi insists that he help Kira as he feels some debt towards Kira's mother for saving him years ago, and devises a plan to steal a single branch from the tree and use his Stand's abilities to graft it to another tree and raise a Locacaca Tree of their own. One day, Josefumi and Kira approached Aisho and set up a plan to temporarily distract him. While Aisho visited a pharmacy, Josefumi took a large quantity of eye drops named {{MI|Eye Eye Syaa}}, pretending that they worked perfectly. Kira then asked for the same medicine, persuading Aisho of the medicine's value. Aisho took the remaining bottle of medicine for himself. The moment he used the eye drop, Kira distracted him by causing an accident which allowed Josefumi to sneakily snap two branches of the Locacaca and replace them. The duo left the scene, having in their possession the Locacaca branches. Sometime after this incident, he took a photo with Kira and Karera.<br />
<br />
According to [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]], he once tried to kill Josefumi but was prevented from doing so by Kira.<br />
[[File:damo tortures kira and josefumi.png|thumb|left|Kira and Josefumi tortured by Damo]][[File:Josefumi Crumbles Coloured.jpg|thumb|The tragedy of Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo]]<br />
He and Kira were eventually found by [[Tamaki Damo]] and Yagiyama, the former horribly torturing them. Thanks to Kira, they managed to escape and arrive at the location of their Locacaca graft, but Kira having lost his liver, Josefumi fed him one of the Locacaca fruit. While waiting for Kira to awaken, Josefumi was ambushed by the [[A. Phex Brothers]], whom Josefumi proceeded to viciously attack, before retreating with Kira's body.<br />
<br />
Josefumi, anxious over Kira not awakening, begins to use their last Locacaca fruit to exchange his life for Kira's, claiming that he died a long time ago and that he owed Holy. He told Kira to live so that he could harvest more Locacaca fruit for Holy. During all of this, an earthquake was occurring with a reported tsunami on the way, destroying the ground and emerging a Wall Eye, burying Josefumi and Kira under the ground, the Locacaca having swapped pieces of the two to turn Josefumi into who would be known as Josuke, whom [[Yasuho Hirose]] would find under the ground. A few days after their meeting, Josuke and Yasuho return to the same spot and discover the corpse of Kira.<br />
<br />
For the next several months, Josuke is unaware of his previous identity as Josefumi or his relation to Kira until [[Kei Nijimura]] reveals the process of equivalent exchange that resulted in him being partly her brother Kira and a chance meeting with Josefumi's friend Karera who recognizes that he is also Josefumi and the A. Phex Brothers who recognize that Josuke's Stand Soft & Wet is similar to Josefumi's Stand.<br />

|{{Q|You need that fruit in order to heal your mother's illness, don't you? I've been thinking about this forever. On that summer day when I was a kid, if I hadn't been brought to Holy, if she hadn't been there to save me... I wouldn't be here right now.. I'll help out, of course I will.

|{{Q|Back up on the yacht... you said you roped me into this... but that's not true.... that's not what happened... from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to serve some purpose for Holy. I've been imagining it forever now. I'm certain that is my image of happiness. If I can be even a little help to Holy... that's my precious image of happiness.

|{{Q|I died a long time ago... drowning in the ocean on that summer day... Maybe I hit my head on a reef? I dunno, but I drowned. I didn't survive. From that day I went to the beach... I didn't exist anywhere at all. So the one to live... shouldn't be me. It should be Holy's child... it should be you...I'll offer it... using the equivalent exchange... I'll gladly exchange my body... That's how it should be. That's the way... of the image of happiness... and I got to live this long. The Locacaca branch is still okay.

*Along with having the [[Joestar Birthmark]], the structure of <u>'''Jo'''</u>sefumi Ku<u>'''jo'''</u>'s name allows him the ''JoJo'' moniker.<br />
**The pronunciation of '''Josefu''' in his name is the same as '''Joseph''' in Japanese.<br />
*Josefumi's bedazzled cellphone lists his name in English as '''Josephmi'''.<br />
*Josefumi's outfit appears to have been based on a piece of art drawn by Araki of [[Josuke Higashikata]] (from ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''). This same outfit appears during the credits of Part 4's anime adaptation. It is also one of Josuke's unlockable costumes in [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]].<br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Present in ''[[Ozon Baby's Pressure (story arc)|Ozon Baby's Pressure]]'' as a silhouette but fully introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. In later depictions, these swirls are two ends of the same line, rather than being separate. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
<br />
[[File:Toosuho.png|thumb|left|Tooru seems to love Yasuho...|222x222px]]<br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior.<br />
<br />
[[File:TooruRokakaka.png|thumb|...but ultimately would throw her away to get the Locacaca]]<br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102" /><br />
<br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him.

==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />

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

{{Quote|'''Nut King Call'''. The '''screw''' and '''nut''' I just attached to that are able to fuse together different substances.|[[Joshu Higashikata]]|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Nut King Call'''|ナット・キング・コール|Natto Kingu Kōru}} is the [[Stand]] of [[Joshu Higashikata]], featured in the 8th part of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]], ''[[JoJolion]]''. It is a humanoid Stand with a nuts and bolts theme. Its power is to conjure nuts and bolts on objects or people, disassembling and assembling them as if they were mere pieces of a machine.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Nutkingcall.png|frameless|left|100px]]<br />
Nut King Call is a humanoid Stand similar in height to Joshu. It has screws embedded in the sides of its head and its spindly arms. It has two shield-shaped eyes similar to a bug's and many nuts and bolts surrounding its neck resembling a {{W|Ruff (clothing)|ruff}}.<br />
<br />
On its forehead rests a large V crest. Its face and arms are also textured with slight ridges. Its torso is covered in a tessellated triangle motif similar to [[Caesar]]'s headband or [[Jotaro]]'s belt.<br />
<br />
Nut King Call's wrists were originally large and circular with two lines connecting to the screws on its knuckles. In its later appearances, its wrists are longer and cylindrical, no longer having the connections to its knuckles.<br />
<br />
Nut King Call is purple and white in the [[Digital Color|colored manga]] and ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven|Eyes of Heaven]]''.<br />
<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Nuts and Bolts===<br />
By planting nuts and bolts in a target, Nut King Call creates functional artificial joints. When a nut is removed from a bolt, which may be done almost instantly, the object breaks up and is disassembled. When applied to humans, the process of dismantling body parts appears painless.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 21}}, p4-5</ref> These separations seem to undo themselves when a target is out of range, as seen when a thug accosting Joshu finds his hands reattached (albeit incorrectly) when Joshu flees.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 21}}, p12</ref><br />
<br />
Nut King Call may also fasten together whatever objects are between a nut and a connecting bolt. This is first demonstrated when Joshu dispatches of a bar owner and his men by forcibly affixing parts of their bodies together and escaping as they stumbled around.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 56}}, p36</ref> Later, he does the same to a bottle that [[Zaihei Nigatake]] was drinking from and the cursed money generated from [[Milagro Man]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 57}}, p46</ref><br />
<br />
Nut King Call can even detach its own user's body parts, such as a tongue. When this happens, it is shown that Joshu still has control and feeling over the detached body part.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 83}}, p20</ref><br />

{{Quote|No one told me that this would happen... My job was supposed to be simple... 'Kill [[Jolyne Cujoh]]'. That's what I was told, and that's what I'm gonna do...|D an G|{{Ch|SO Chapter 78}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''D an G'''|DアンG|Dī An Jī}} is a minor antagonist featured in the sixth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Stone Ocean]]'', and introduced in the "[[Yo-Yo Ma Is Coming! (story arc)|Yo-Yo Ma Is Coming!]]" story arc.<br />
<br />
D an G is one of the four people [[Enrico Pucci]] sent to the Ultra Security House Unit to assassinate [[Jolyne Cujoh]]. He uses his automatic [[Stand]], [[Yo-Yo Ma]], to attempt to kill her and [[Narciso Anasui]] in the swamp near [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
D an G is a man of average build and height, wearing a fleece-like multi-colored toga, wristbands, and a {{W|Pickelhaube}}.<br />
<br />
Like his Stand, D an G has a soldier style helmet. It's unknown why D an G wears an eye-patch; while he was fighting with [[Foo Fighters]], he was shown to have an otherwise normal-looking eye underneath it.<br />

<br />
==Personality==<br />
[[File:D an G personality.png|thumb|D an G is a crybaby]]<br />
In most of his time shown, he has a completely stoic personality, but it's assumed that he is hateful and homicidal judging by the actions that got him arrested. Back in 1999, D an G believed in {{W|Nostradamus}}'s predictions about the end of the world and decided to commit several murders, using his status as a policeman to hide his crimes until he was found out.<ref name="SOC84P1">{{Ch|SO Chapter 84}}, p.1</ref><br />
<br />
However, upon having his arm torn off by [[Guccio]]'s ribs, he begins wildly sobbing like a child (something even his own Stand noticed), and then is completely defenseless up until his death.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 85}} p.12</ref><br />
<br />
It's explained that D an G is held in the Maximum Security for his protection because his identity as an ex-cop in prison would otherwise get him killed.<ref name="SOC84P1" /><br />

==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Yo-Yo Ma}}<br />
<br />
Yo-Yo Ma is an automatic long-range Stand. It is mostly humanoid, able to perform complex tasks, and converse with people, but is weak. Its saliva is extremely corrosive.<br />

==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
In 1999, D an G was a police officer who believed in {{W|Nostradamus|Nostradamus'}} prophecy of the end of the world coming in the year 2000. Because of this, he went around shooting several people he didn't like near the start of the new millennium, using his status as a policeman to erase his traces. Once the panic died down, he was quickly arrested and sent to [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] for 20 years. Because ex-cops are often murdered in prison, he was placed in the punishment ward for his own protection. It's unknown if he was given his Stand by [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] or developed it.<ref name="SOC84P1" /><br />
<br />
===''Stone Ocean''===<br />
{{Spoiler|6}}<br />
[[File:Guccio traps D&G.png|thumb|right|D an G is wounded by a trap]]<br />
D an G was one of the four Stand users assigned to kill [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] in the maximum-security facilities along with [[Kenzou]]. After the commotion caused by [[Survivor]] and [[DIO's Bone|DIO's bone]], he touched Guccio's shoulder and triggered the trap, inside Guccio, causing Guccio's ribs to burst from his chest and impale his arm. Despite his sobbing, he sends [[Yo-Yo Ma]] after Jolyne.<br />
<br />
D an G is retrieved by the prison guards and put in an ambulance. However, F.F. pursues him. Despite [[Whitesnake]]'s protection, F.F. shoots itself, dispersing the plankton and making it infiltrate D an G's body. D an G dies, decapitated from the inside.<br />

==Personality==<br />
[[File:Rikiel personality.png|thumb|The two sides of Rikiel]]<br />
Rikiel is initially a meek youth distraught by the numerous afflictions he suffers from, causing him to have confidence issues. When [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] unlocks his [[Stand]] [[Sky High]], Rikiel becomes more confident and is seen evolving into an honorable and brave fighter during his fight with [[Jolyne]]. He holds human progress in high esteem and sees {{W|Apollo 11}} as a symbol of human growth. Rikiel is a man of honor and fights to repay his debt to Pucci, and when Jolyne defeats him, he congratulates her and reveals details about Pucci. He inherited his father [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s determination and hardcore actions as well as a rare trait of acknowledging a worthy opponent, it's could also be argued for the opposite case with Rikiel having inherited those traits from [[Jonathan|Jonathan]].<br />

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

==Trivia==<br />
*Jigsaw's "Sky High", the namesake of Rikiel's Stand, can be viewed as being about a person who achieves great things, only to fail miserably, as seen in the lyrics "''I gave you love, I thought that we / Had made it to the top / I gave you all I have to give / Why did it have to stop?''" This reflects Rikiel's fate: He managed to conquer the rods, the very beings that crippled him in life, only to suffer a humiliating defeat.<br />

Paisley Park is a humanoid Stand of a feminine figure and a height slightly above Yasuho's; usually appearing two-dimensional by occupying the place of Yasuho's shadow or spread across any surface. It has Yasuho's hairstyle, and a blank face save for one round eye on its right with three bold eyelashes, and a semi-functioning mouth underneath what would be its skin. Its face and body are covered by various road map symbols.<ref name="JJLC14">JJL Chapter 14: ''[[JJL Chapter 14|"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (3)]]''</ref><br />

==Personality== <!--T:6--><br />
It has an independent personality, since it first manifests unconsciously by Yasuho in order to assist [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] by bringing him to safety from his [[Kei Nijimura|pursuer]]. Paisley Park is loyal to Yasuho and helps her as well as her friends to reach destinations or bypass security. Its primary objective is protecting Yasuho which doesn't change even after it is discovered by Yasuho herself.<br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
The Stand can be aggressive when protecting its owner if she is threatened, as shown when it allows Yasuho to flee from the vehicle of kidnappers by twisting the ankle of the driver, causing the car to crash and the kidnappers to smash headfirst through the windshield.<ref name="JJLC25">JJL Chapter 25: ''[[JJL Chapter 25|Paper Moon Deception (3)]]''</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:8--><br />
Paisley Park has been described by [[Yotsuyu Yagiyama]] as a long-range [[Stand]], resistant to conscious control and of low physical potency. Paisley Park isn't suitable for direct confrontation, but it is highly automonous and able to assist its user and allies constantly through various ways.<br />
<br />
===Guidance=== <!--T:9--><br />
[[File:paisleyguide.jpg|thumb|left|185px|Josuke being guided by Paisley Park via GPS]]<br />
Paisley Park's primary ability involves assisting individuals significant to Yasuho in finding and reaching destinations more expediently, or escaping perilous situations. Paisley Park has for example manipulated a phone's GPS application,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 13}}, p32</ref> the results of a web search engine to enhance the efficiency of her investigations<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 21}}, p25</ref> and instigated a chain of events allowing Yasuho to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 17}}, p6</ref> Paisley Park can also separate from its user and go far away to help another ally in need.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 26}}, p37</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
When Yasuho discovers Paisley Park for herself, it displays time-limited choices on her cellphone or laptop.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 38}}, p8</ref> After selecting an option, the Stand provides her with the item she asked for which then comes in handy later. For example, the choice of flashlight results in Paisley Park giving it to Yasuho, which then illuminates the location of something else she ends up needing a few minutes later. The Stand offers a choice whenever Yasuho needs to solve a problem, despite whether or not she's aware of what's going to happen, but doesn't act when Yasuho is too slow to choose.<br />
<br />
===Electronics Manipulation=== <!--T:11--><br />
Although it mainly resides in her cellphone, Paisley Park enables Yasuho to interact with various electronics at a level beyond humanly possible.<br />
<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
[[File:PaisleyParkEventData.png|thumb|right|185x185px|Manipulating the event data recorder of Jobin's car]]<br />
Paisley Park can hack into various electronic devices with ease and use them to help Yasuho in her investigations or any other activity she is focused on, bypassing any security they may have. For instance, it could break into the data servers of the local police to identify [[Dolomite]] by linking a tooth to medical records and dental prints.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 62}}, p34</ref> It can also travel through computer networks from Yasuho's mobile phone in order to interact with other systems without being near the hardware. This particular ability is portrayed as Paisley Park going through endless corridors full of doors and breaking locks. At a more basic level, Paisley Park can delete/wipe files such as images or videos from other people's phones if Yasuho wills it.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 65}}, p13</ref> Paisley Park also seems to be able to "copy" certain technological abilities. For instance, she is shown using her hand as an X-Ray to find the pieces of rock in Yasuho's face. <ref>JJL Chapter 65: [[JJL Chapter 65|''The Plant Appraiser (2)'']]</ref><br />
Paisley Park has been showned to also have the ability to import directly from her phone real objects and phenomenons. <ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 36}}, p4</ref><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 105}}, p32-33</ref><br />
<br />
===Shapeshifting=== <!--T:13--><br />
[[File:PaisleyParkGlobe.png|thumb|left|150px|Paisely Park morphing its head into a globe]]<br />
Paisley Park can freely change its shape. It can shift from a three-dimensional humanoid form into a flat, shadow-like figure,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 14}}, p14</ref> or even a formless puddle. This ability isn't limited to shape alone, as it was able to turn its head into a globe,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 38}}, p12</ref> changing usual road map symbols into the map of the Earth, and then into a map of the town.<br />

<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
{{Nihongo|'''Dark Determination'''|漆黒の意志|Shikkoku no ishi|lit. "Pitch Black Intent"}} is a phenomenon unique to the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series, formally introduced in its seventh part, [[Steel Ball Run]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
An antithesis to the Golden Spirit, dark determination is a particular state of mind during which one's resolve and intent to kill rises to the surface. The term itself is coined by [[Ringo Roadagain]]<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 34}}</ref> and is described by Gyro as one's willing to murder without hesitation and throw away their humanity.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 59}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Description== <!--T:4--><br />
[[File:Johnny_dark_resolve.png|thumb|170px|Johnny's dark will]]<br />
Dark determination is a particular state of mind that reoccurs periodically throughout the later parts of the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]] series. As the name suggests, this phenomenon occurs when a character with malicious intentions briefly supersedes their moral compass, during which they are prone to using deadly force to achieve their own personal goals. Anyone with dark intent in their eyes becomes noticeably more ruthless, cold-blooded, and will not hesitate to commit great acts of violence, if not outright murder. Dark determination is most often associated with a protagonist's moral ambiguity and will manifest itself as small flames burning in their irises.<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
The trigger for dark determination will depend on the individual and the situation at hand but is usually related to the act of protecting, avenging, or acquiring something important. A common example is a friend or loved one in danger, as was the case with [[Jolyne Cujoh]] who heard [[Ermes Costello]] being mugged by prison guards,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 1}}</ref> or [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke Higashikata]] seeing [[Yasuho Hirose]] being kidnapped by an enemy.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 33}}</ref> In [[Johnny Joestar]]'s particular case, his dark determination was centered around his goal of obtaining the [[Saint's Corpse]] through violence.<br />

==Trivia== <!--T:9--><br />
[[File:Johnny_ASB_DD.png|thumb|200px|Johnny's Dark Determination in ASB]]<br />
* In the opening [[Sono Chi no Sadame]], [[Jonathan Joestar]]'s eyes also flare up as he prepares to confront his archnemesis [[Dio Brando]], perhaps as a nod to this dark determination.<br />
* In {{Ep2|DU Episode 9}}, [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]]'s eyes seem to flare up as she confronts [[Koichi Hirose]]'s attempts to dissuade her from liking him. Similarly, in {{Ep2|DU Episode 30}}, after [[Stray Cat]] sees [[Shinobu Kawajiri|Shinobu]] with a shovel and knowing she was responsible for its death, its eyes flare up with the intent to kill her.<br />
*In [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle]], the dark determination can be seen during Johnny's Heart Heat Attack while Tusk is transforming from ACT 2 to ACT 3.<br />
* In [[Baoh the Visitor]]'s ninth chapter, [[Ikuro Hashizawa|Ikuro]]'s eyes flare up as he prepares to use a laser against [[Walken]].<br />
* A similar phenomenon can be seen when [[Weather Report]] recovers his memories and unlocks the ability [[Heavy Weather]]. While his eyes flare up with the intent to seek revenge and kill [[Enrico Pucci|his brother,]] unlike Jolyne's dark determination, a thunderous cloud formation can be seen in his eyes instead of fire.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 125}}</ref><br />

{{Quote|Yasuho-chan, [...] it looks like we ran into each other at a good time... Seems that's always the way with us...|Tooru to [[Yasuho Hirose]], [[JJL Chapter 84]]}}{{Nihongo|'''Tooru'''|{{Ruby|透龍|とおる}}|Tōru}} is a [[:Category:Primary Antagonist|primary antagonist]] featured in the eighth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[JoJolion]]''. Introduced in the ''[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves]]'' story arc, he plays a major role in the ''[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|Wonder of You (The Miracle Of Your Love)]]''. <br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
He is [[Yasuho Hirose]]'s ex-boyfriend from high school and a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] with ties to the hospital's head doctor, [[Satoru Akefu]]. <br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
He is eventually revealed to be a [[Rock Human]] and a [[Stand]] user, wielding the calamity-inducing [[Wonder of U]], and is also the mastermind of the [[Locacaca Organization]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:4--><br />
Tooru appears to be a slim man on the shorter side, being just slightly taller than Yasuho. He has curly hair styled in an afro on his head, with two swirls on either side. He has thick eyebrows which he constantly throws up to show cluelessness or general happiness (usually around [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]).<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
He wears a dark vest over a sweatshirt, which has long sleeves patterned with triplets of thick black lines. On the right breast of the vest, there's a symbol for the letter "S" with a sun surrounding it. A similar yet smaller "S" can be located on the crotch area of his pants. On either shoulder of his sweatshirt are two teddy bears. His pants have a floral pattern on them, showing what appear to be grape vines and leaves.<br />

<br />
==Personality== <!--T:6--><br />
Like many Rock Humans, Tooru has grown to develop antisocial tendencies as a result of the first 17 years of his life being defined by solitude. While he's able to conduct himself personably and often behaves in a casual, upbeat manner, Tooru's authentic personality has an incredible sense of ruthlessness to it. This is best demonstrated by his [[Wonder of U|particularly dangerous misfortune-based stand ability]], as well as his apparent apathy toward the suffering of Yasuho, who he had interacted on positive terms with just hours prior. Moreover, because of Tooru's antisocial and quite apathetic nature, he also doesn't have any bond with [[Locacaca Organization|his colleagues]] and will prioritize his goal. This is demonstrated by him killing Poor Tom with [[Wonder of U]] without any hesitation nor guilt.<ref name="JJL76">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 76}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
Tooru is extremely ambitious and knowledgeable in both technology and medicine. However, Tooru also has a history of feeling as though his youthful appearance serves as a road-block in his ability to live up to his full potential. Notably, he attempted to pitch an innovative new idea to a number of prominent tech companies only to be dismissed as a result of his age and presumed lack of experience. As he explained to Yasuho, this caused him a period of prolonged anxiety and frustration over the idea that his life was going by without any achievements to his name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 90}}, p.23-25</ref> However, it is unknown whether that story is true or not. Tooru's main project is the cultivation of the [[Locacaca]] and creation of medicine in order to secure wealth and power. With his [[Locacaca Organization]], Tooru set up a profitable scheme by healing the wealthy with the Locacaca, created or had someone create the miracle medicine Locacaca6251 as the next step of his plan, and took an interest for the new Locacaca, musing about the riches and the power he could secure by exploiting the new fruit's [[Equivalent Exchange]].<ref name="JJL102"/><br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
Tooru has a somewhat unusual affection with [[Yasuho Hirose|Yasuho]]. It is shown that he met her when she was a little girl and she unwittingly helped him find someone to impersonate. Tooru says he had some fun discussing with her and hoped to meet her again.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref> At one point, he became her boyfriend, and cherishes the memories he's had with her. Upon his introduction, Tooru wished to rekindle his relationship with Yasuho.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 85}}, p.41</ref> Having previously grown apart due to his aforementioned period of poor mental health, Tooru is not only friendly but also flirty with her. For instance, he doesn't hesitate to touch her in an intimate manner<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 84}}, p.31</ref> and isn't disturbed that Yasuho openly rejects his advances, being sure that she has feelings for him. He occasionally teases her too, openly reminding her of their experiences together.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 81}}, p.29</ref> Tooru's affection results in his relative mercy towards Yasuho, as when she confronts him, Tooru takes the time to warn her about his powers and proposes that she walks away to stay safe.<ref name="JJL102"/><br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
Tooru seems to have an appreciation for Western music and is seen listening to songs such as {{W|Crazy Train}} by {{W|Ozzy Osbourne}} and {{W|The Wonder of You}}, the version sung by {{W|Elvis Presley}}.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 97}}, p.23-24</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:10--><br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Wonder of U}}<br />
Tooru is a [[Rock Human]], as well as the user of the stand [[Wonder of U]]. Wonder of U is able to create illusions which can be sent after a specific target. It can disguise itself and take on the appearance of a human, allowing it to interact with non-stand users. It can also create projections of itself, which can travel quickly between locations by phasing into and appearing on transparent surfaces, such as windows or picture frames. Wonder of U's ability is automatic and can be activated on any person who has looked at its back in either an attempt to pursue it, or otherwise moves toward it. <br />

<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
While Wonder of U's ability is active, targets will experience various instances of conflict which seemingly play out in the most devastating way imaginable. These calamities often involve an affected person repeatedly colliding with objects in their environment, resulting in far greater injury than is possible under normal circumstances. The ability's trigger is sensitive, as Mitsuba simply questioning the presence of Satoru Akefu at the [[Higashikata House]] was enough to activate it. The range of the ability is unknown, but it appears to be extremely large, as Josuke and Mamezuku were affected despite being nowhere near Satoru Akefu's supposed whereabouts.<br />
<br />
==History== <!--T:13--><br />
===Background===<br />
[[File: Tooru Emergence.png|thumb|Tooru emerging as an adult]]<br />
Tooru, like other [[Rock Humans]], was abandoned by his mother as a newborn and left in the wilderness. He shortly after infiltrated a wasp nest to continue his physical development. Approximately 17 years later, he rapidly matured into his adult body, killing the wasp colony in the process. He then traveled to Morioh and entered society undetected. It is implied that he had a hand in killing [[Rai Mamezuku]]'s father as [[Wonder of U]]'s human form was briefly seen at [[Mamezuku's Father]]'s funeral.<ref name=JJL99>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 99}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
Roughly ten years before the events of [[JoJolion]], Tooru meets a young [[Yasuho Hirose]], then a little girl. Noticing how she used her [[Stand]] [[Paisley Park]] to search through her mother's phone, Tooru impresses her by scraping {{MI|Tooru's Rocks|two rocks}} together to make a fire while assuaging her doubts about him. Tooru asks for a favor and tells her to help him find someone, stating that he doesn't know their name but that he knows they are an elderly with a medical license and that they live alone and are isolated from their family. Yasuho finds him a suitable person for his Stand to impersonate, [[Satoru Akefu (Human)|Satoru Akefu]]. Tooru gives Yasuho the rocks to impress the other children at Yasuho's summer camp and disappears into the trees, wishing to meet Yasuho again after she'll have forgotten about him.<ref name="JJL102">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 102}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
It can be inferred that he began impersonating Satoru Akefu with his Stand [[Wonder of U]] after that.<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
Tooru and Yasuho were revealed to have dated in High School, although it is unknown why Tooru decided to attend the institution. Apparently, Yasuho never looked up his last name.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 100}} tailpiece from {{Vo|JJL Volume 25}}</ref> He then became a part-time worker at [[TG University Hospital]] at an undisclosed date.<ref name="JJL81" /><br />
<br />
===[[Doctor Wu and Awaking 3 Leaves (story arc)|The University Hospital]]=== <!--T:17--><br />
[[File:Tooru yasuho.png|thumb|Tooru meets Yasuho again in the hospital]]<br />
Tooru encounters Yasuho during her confrontation with [[Wu Tomoki]] at TG University Hospital. He teases Yasuho about their previous relationship, but otherwise, the two are on good terms, as he is shown following through his promise to relay her message through to [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke.]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
Afterward, Tooru repeatedly crosses paths with her as Yasuho follows Josuke and [[Rai Mamezuku|Rai]] across the hospital. Each time, he flirts with Yasuho and tries to remind her of their time together. He ultimately calls Yasuho and leaves a message declaring his love for her and says he wants to get together again. When Josuke gets into trouble after being accused of murdering a patient who died near him, Tooru reassures Yasuho as he promises to testify in favor of Josuke.<br />
<br />
===[[The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love) (story arc)|The Wonder of You (The Miracle of Your Love)]]=== <!--T:19--><br />
[[File: Tooru senses josukes plan.png|thumb|left|240px|Tooru mysteriously senses Josuke's plan]]<br />
Tooru later meets Yasuho by the doorsteps of her house. After a speech about Tooru's aspirations and relationship regrets, Tooru asks her again to get back together but Yasuho is distracted by her investigation. Tooru offers his help and shows Yasuho a photograph of [[Satoru Akefu]]. Having seen the doctor's face, as well as confirming a link between him and [[Mitsuba Higashikata|Mitsuba]], Yasuho decides to go to the [[Higashikata House]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
Tooru doesn't accompany Yasuho but instead eats fast food for lunch. Yasuho calls him and asks him for help since she's injured at the Higashikata estate. Tooru says that he'll call an ambulance but Yasuho refuses, saying that she has a way to heal herself. Interested, Tooru departs for the Higashikata estate. Once there, Tooru ignores Yasuho's suffering and simply observes the estate from the surrounding forest while listening to music. When Satoru realizes Josuke's plan of "inviting" the head doctor to come to him, Tooru shows great intrigue at the sudden development.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
Joshu comes out of the house with the Locacaca plant in his hands and Tooru retreats into the forest to remain unseen. Observing Joshu and Yasuho, Tooru decides to let Yasuho eat the fruit to confirm its power. Plus, he doesn't feel threatened by her. While hiding, Tooru makes some noise, and unwittingly allows Yasuho to realize that he's her enemy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
Yasuho confidently claims that he is the user of the calamity-causing Stand and a rock human. She dwells on their strange past together such as their first meeting when a young Yasuho was out with her troop. Tooru tells Yasuho that he appreciates her and has fond memories with her, warning her about the danger of her seeing him, since it would activate a calamity, killing her instantly. He then goes on explaining how the Higashikatas are already under this affect, as well as Rai and Josuke who he claims will die soon as well. Yasuho takes Joshu's phone and begins scrolling through the contacts. Tooru again warns her, asking for outsider assistance would count as a pursuit and lead her to be the first to die. Yasuho continues with her action and Tooru states that Yasuho has changed the order of death, meaning that she will die through calamity soon.<br />
<br />
===[[Endless Calamity (story arc)|Endless Calamity]]=== <!--T:23--><br />
Tooru tells Yasuho that she is going to die next, but Yasuho doesn't listen to him and continues to talk with [[Kei Nijimura]] in order to find [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]]. Moments later, Tooru receives a wound to the head thanks to the combination of [[Soft & Wet]]'s bubbles and [[Born This Way]]'s wind power. Tooru realizes that there is indeed a hidden power in Soft & Wet's bubbles.<br />
<br />
Wounded, Tooru thinks about the nature of the attack. Sure that the "flow of calamity" uses the logic of this world to return any pursuit back at his foes in the form of a calamity, he realizes that Josuke's bubbles contains something from out of this world that isn't subject to the world's logic. Seeing that Josuke is too dangerous, Tooru decides to make his Stand leave the hospital even though he wishes to finish of Josuke. Tooru also reveals himself and confronts Yasuho, asking her to hand him the new [[Locacaca]] to prevent the calamity that will kill Yasuho from destroying it. Joshu, who has regained his senses, stands up and threatens Tooru, who remains unimpressed. The three of them spot something falling from the sky towards them. Tooru guesses that it is the incoming calamity and thus grabs Yasuho to insist she gives her the pot. Joshu thus tries to attack Tooru, but a falling leaf cuts two of his fingers. Overcome with pain, Joshu trips on Yasuho, allowing Tooru to take the potted Locacaca. Tooru then says his farewell to Yasuho.<br />

{{Quote|My Stand is called Vitamin C – it makes you severely soft.|[[Tamaki Damo]]|{{Ch|JJL Chapter 49}}}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Vitamin C'''|ビタミンC|Bitamin Shī}} is the [[Stand]] belonging to [[Tamaki Damo]], featured in ''[[JoJolion]]''. It is a tentacular Stand with a hand motif. When someone touches the fingerprints it leaves, the victim will be softened to the point of liquefaction as long as they remain within range.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Vitamin C first appears as several watery hands which leave fingerprints on whatever Damo touches and can spread to others like bacteria. When confronting [[Norisuke Higashikata IV|Norisuke IV]] and [[Josuke (JoJolion)|Josuke]] on his own, Tamaki Damo reveals more of Vitamin C.<br />
<br />
It has a vaguely humanoid head with drooping jester horns similar to [[King Nothing]], with a hand-shaped marking on its face. The rest of the body below its shoulders consists of a trailing mass of hand-shaped tentacles, akin to a jellyfish. It is covered with nut-shaped objects, some of them chipped in order to resemble the letter C.<br />
<br />
In the colored manga, Vitamin C's main body is primarily green with yellow decorations and the notably red hand marking on its face. However, its tentacles are white.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Vitamin C is a terrifying Stand to face in close quarters and in narrow spaces because its softening power renders everyone powerless before Damo. Vitamin C doesn't show exceptional physical abilities, but is at least able to punch a softened person into a wall.<ref name="JJLC54">JJL Chapter 54: ''[[JJL Chapter 54|Walking Heart]]''</ref> Vitamin C is also showed to have exceptional speed, able to easily outspeed Killer Queen, multiple Sheer Heart Attacks and even Soft & Wet.<ref name="JJLC51" /><ref name="JJLC54" /><br />
<br />
However, it has a short range, leaving Damo vulnerable to ranged attacks.<br />
<br />
===Organic Softening===<br />
[[File:SofteningEffect.png|thumb|right|250px|Vitamin C's softening ability starting to take effect]]<br />
Vitamin C's main ability is to "soften" living organisms' tissues, melting them into a liquid state.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C and Damo can leave faintly visible fingerprints on any surface, and with Vitamin C's multiple hands, this results in entire rooms being covered in handprints.<ref name="JJLC48">JJL Chapter 48: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 2]]''</ref> The fingerprints seem to be made of a squishy substance that people may notice.<ref name="JJLC47">JJL Chapter 47: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 1]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Anyone, even Stands,<ref name="JJLC51">JJL Chapter 51: ''[[JJL Chapter 51|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 2]]''</ref> who touches the fingerprint will be softened, taking the characteristic of a liquid and becoming elastic.<ref name="JJLC49">JJL Chapter 49: ''[[JJL Chapter 49|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 3]]''</ref> People lose their consistency and typically melt into a puddle of flesh over time.<ref name="JJLC48" /> It becomes easy for Damo to insert random objects into his victims and even slice into them. He notably cuts limbs and organ from his softened victims with a 1000 yen bill.<ref name="JJLC52">JJL Chapter 52: ''[[JJL Chapter 52|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 3]]''</ref> In that state, the victims become unable to move or attack, as any impact makes them lose their coherence. Thus they are powerless, and Damo is free to torment and kill them. Damo seems to be able to modify the speed at which people are softened. [[Joshu]] was softened over a sizable period<ref name="JJLC48" /> while [[Hato]] was reduced to a liquid almost immediately when Damo attacked her.<ref name="JJLC54" /><br />
<br />
The weakness of the softening ability is that it has a very short range, seemingly restricted to a single closed area like a small boat<ref name="JJLC51" /> or a house.<ref name="JJLC54" /> If someone affected by the ability leaves Vitamin C's range, its effects disperse immediately.<ref name="JJLC54" /><br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*The hand symbol on the Stand's face bears resemblance to [[Hirohiko Araki]] and [[Lucky Land Communications]]'s logo, defined by the callus on the middle finger.<br />
*Vitamin C's ability can be seen as an opposite of what {{W|vitamin C}} does in real life: Vitamin C is supposed to strengthen the body, while the Stand Vitamin C liquefies the body.<br />
**Vitamin C's ability also reflects on some of the lyrics from {{W|Can (band)|Can}}'s {{W|Vitamin C (song)|Vitamin C}}: "''Hey you! / You're losing, you're losing, you're losing, you're losing your / Vitamin C!''"<br />

[[File:SofteningEffect.png|thumb|right|250px|Vitamin C's softening ability starting to take effect]]<br />
Vitamin C's main ability is to "soften" living organisms' tissues, melting them into a liquid state.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C and Damo can leave faintly visible fingerprints on any surface, and with Vitamin C's multiple hands, this results in entire rooms being covered in handprints.<ref name="JJLC48">JJL Chapter 48: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 2]]''</ref> The fingerprints seem to be made of a squishy substance that people may notice.<ref name="JJLC47">JJL Chapter 47: ''[[JJL Chapter 48|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 1]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Anyone, even Stands,<ref name="JJLC51">JJL Chapter 51: ''[[JJL Chapter 51|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 2]]''</ref> who touches the fingerprint will be softened, taking the characteristic of a liquid and becoming elastic.<ref name="JJLC49">JJL Chapter 49: ''[[JJL Chapter 49|Hato Brought Her Boyfriend Home, Part 3]]''</ref> People lose their consistency and typically melt into a puddle of flesh over time.<ref name="JJLC48" /> It becomes easy for Damo to insert random objects into his victims and even slice into them. He notably cuts limbs and organ from his softened victims with a 1000 yen bill.<ref name="JJLC52">JJL Chapter 52: ''[[JJL Chapter 52|Vitamin C and Killer Queen, Part 3]]''</ref> In that state, the victims become unable to move or attack, as any impact makes them lose their coherence. Thus they are powerless, and Damo is free to torment and kill them. Damo seems to be able to modify the speed at which people are softened. [[Joshu]] was softened over a sizable period<ref name="JJLC48" /> while [[Hato]] was reduced to a liquid almost immediately when Damo attacked her.<ref name="JJLC54" /><br />
<br />
The weakness of the softening ability is that it has a very short range, seemingly restricted to a single closed area like a small boat<ref name="JJLC51" /> or a house.<ref name="JJLC54" /> If someone affected by the ability leaves Vitamin C's range, its effects disperse immediately.<ref name="JJLC54" /><br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*The hand symbol on the Stand's face bears resemblance to [[Hirohiko Araki]] and [[Lucky Land Communications]]'s logo, defined by the callus on the middle finger.<br />
*Vitamin C's ability can be seen as an opposite of what {{W|vitamin C}} does in real life: Vitamin C is supposed to strengthen the body, while the Stand Vitamin C liquefies the body.<br />
**Vitamin C's ability also reflects on some of the lyrics from {{W|Can (band)|Can}}'s {{W|Vitamin C (song)|Vitamin C}}: "''Hey you! / You're losing, you're losing, you're losing, you're losing your / Vitamin C!''"<br />
