Eijkman the Lightning Knight (イナズマの騎士アイクマン, Inazuma no Kishi Aikuman) is a tertiary character featured in the first part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Phantom Blood. He is one of the only five knights to survive and win the trial of the 77 Rings. He is omitted in the anime adaptation, but appears as a playable character in the Phantom Blood PlayStation 2 game with an original design.
Appearance

In the video game, Eijkman appears as a man with an athletic build and blue lipstick. He has blue neck-length hair with bangs. He wears a wide-collar turtleneck sweater cut above the navel, a chestplate, and shoulderplates.
In the manga, it is unknown which knight is specifically Eijkman. However, it is possible that he is the large knight drawn in the front due to the character wielding a halberd.
Color Schemes
Personality
His personality in the manga is unknown, as he was only mentioned. In the video game, he is particularly loyal to Dio Brando, who revived him. He has voice clips stating that everything is for his lord Dio's sake. Eijkman is described in the game's Profile Mode as a knight who, true to his name, is known for his shining spears and quick movements.[2]
Abilities
Being the second knight out of five to complete the 77 Rings challenge, Eijkman is extremely durable and capable of withstanding the weight of more than a hundred kilograms on his body. Despite having a handicap by wearing several weighted rings, Eijkman manages to defeat all of his opponents and cross a 10km mountain range.[3]
As his name implies, Eijkman is a knight with swift movements. While attacking, he notes that his enemy is too slow and also asks where they're looking.
After being revived as a zombie by Dio Brando in the video game, Eijkman's strength is multiplied at the cost of making him weak to sunlight and the Ripple.
History
Background
In 1389, Eijkman is the second knight to survive and successfully complete the challenge of the 77 Rings. He goes down in history as a legendary knight alongside Winzaleo, Caineghis, Bruford, and Tarkus.[3]
1889

Five hundred years later, Eijkman is revived by Dio Brando along with the other winners of the 77 Rings challenge. Following Dio's orders, Winzaleo, Eijkman, Caineghis, and Wang Chan sneak aboard a ship headed to America. After Dio takes over Father Styx's body, he summons the three zombie knights to defeat Jonathan Joestar for him.
In the end, Jonathan defeats him along with the other knights.
Chapters

- Chapter 28: Tarkus and the Dark Knight Bruford, Part 3 (Flashback)
Quotes

- “In the name of the Lightning Knight! (稲妻の騎士の名にかけて!)Inazuma no kishi no na ni kakete!”—Eijkman, Phantom Blood (PS2)
- “It's all for Lord Dio's sake. (すべてはディオ様のために)Subete wa Dio-sama no tame ni”—Eijkman, Phantom Blood (PS2)
Creation and Development
According to Yusuke Sasaki, a producer from Bandai Namco Games, Eijkman was initially designed by their staff. They asked Hirohiko Araki to take a look at him, who then made corrections.[4]
The three knights were added in the final battle of the game because the game producer thought Wang Chan wouldn't be a good final boss if he remained completely accurate to the story. However, he didn't want to completely stray away from JoJo's story, so Araki gave him various ideas.[4]
Video Games
Phantom Blood (PS2)
Eijkman is playable for one Extra Battle in the Phantom Blood PS2 game where he has to defeat Winzaleo, Caineghis, Bruford, and Tarkus at the same time. He also appears as an enemy in the alternate final chapter and 77 Rings Knights Mode.

Trivia
- Ironically, Caineghis, Eijkman, and Winzaleo are not playable in the PS2 game's 77 Rings Knights Mode, as they appear in the mode as the 33rd, 55th, and 77th enemies respectively.
