Boomboom'''|L.A. ブンブーン|Eru Ē Bunbūn}} is a minor[[:Category:Tertiary Antagonists|tertiary antagonist]] featured in the seventh part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'', introduced in the "[[The Desert Born Outlaws (storyStory arcArc)|The Desert Born Outlaws]]" story arc.
 
L.A. is the youngest member of the [[Boomboom Family|Boomboom family]] along with his father [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]] and his older brother [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]]. Participating in the [[Steel Ball Run (raceRace)|Steel Ball Run]], he attacks [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]] to eliminate competitors.

==Appearance/Personality==
[[File:LA Boomboom personality.png|thumb|left|L.A. claiming the first places in the SBR for his family|200x200px]]
L.A. is a young man with long flowing hair and shadowed eyes. He wears the same dotted suit as his family with a target imprinted on the chest and wears goggles on his head.
 
==Appearance==
L.A. is shown to have low academic skills, for instance being unable to do basic math. Along with being prone to uncontrollable emotional outbursts, he is also extremely naïve, believing that his mother was a stork because Andre told him so.
L.A. is a young man of below-average to average height with long, flowing hair and a notably feminine face. Similar to his father, L.A. doesn't have eyebrows. He wears a long, dotted shirt with a target imprinted on the chest, the collar popped up, and a belt around his waist. He also wears pants, similar to his father's, with dark rings around each leg. L.A. also sports a pair of goggles at the top of his head.
 
He is generally emotionally dependant on his father and brother. Likewise, he looks up to his brother like a young child would. Despite the constant verbal abuse from both, L.A. doesn't mind their insults and is attached to them, becoming furious when his father dies.
 
Compared to the other members of his family, he seems to be of lower intelligence but has sudden moments of keen observation which are only met with his family's scorn. For this, Benjamin calls him 'the family's smart-ass'.

Line 68 ⟶ 75:
Not much is known about the Boomboom Family's life before the Steel ball Run. Benjamin mentions that [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]] and L.A.'s mother left their home and became a whore.
 
The Boomboom Family went looking for mines in the cursed mountains in the desert despised by the local IndiansNative Americans. They stumbled on a [[Devil's Palm]] and collectively acquired their [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]].
 
===Steel Ball Run===
The [[Boomboom Family]] participates in the [[Steel Ball Run (raceRace)|Steel Ball Run]], aiming to be at the first, second and third place to maximize their gains. Lost in the mass of the racers during the first stage, the Boomboom Family assassinates three other competitors named Max Becker, David Hagen and Paul Lukather by using [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]] to magnetize them and make they collide.
 
[[File:boomboom attacks.png|thumb|left|At dusk, the Boomboom Family attacks Johnny & Gyro]]
During the second stage, the Boomboom Family follows [[Johnny Joestar]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli]] in the desert because of [[Oyecomova]], who has put a bounty on Gyro. Andre is sent to trick them using the pretense of having been bitten by a poisonous lizard and soon enough Gyro kicks Andre's knife aside, magnetizing his leg. The rest of the family comes. L.A. forgets they have to disperse himself and his father yells at him for his stupidity.
 
Gyro's feet is invaded by steel and the duo realizes that they are dealing with enemies that are assassinating the competition. They realize that the Boomboom's ability is a magnetic power when Johnny's pistol is disassembled and the pieces are attracted to Gyro's feet. [[Benjamin Boomboom]], the patriarch, destroys an incoming [[Steel Ball]] aimed at him with his magnetism. Andre's knife flies towards Gyro's neck but he blocks it. Circling the duo, Andre shows off some tricks that impress L.A. but refuses to reveal their secrets. Furious at Gyro for almost letting him die, Andre is the first to charge closer to Gyro. Gyro throws his remaining ball at a rock, making a piece of rock shoot through Andre. Seeing the Boomboom Family circle around them, Gyro understands that the magnetism is tied to his proximity to them and thus, the duo flees. As they move away from the Boomboom, the magnetismsmagnetism weakens but Benjamin shoots through the hole in Andre, splashing some of Andre's blood on Johnny.
 
Benjamin, knowing he's followed by the cowboy [[Mountain Tim]], manipulates pieces of metal into his face to make himself look like Johnny. Benjamin fakes surrendering to have Mountain Tim approach and throws his horseshoe at the cowboy, splashing some of his blood on him before crawling inside the briar patches. Mountain Tim reveals his ability [[Oh! Lonesome Me]], allowing the cowboy to disassemble his body along his rope, and tries to grab Benjamin. However, Benjamin cuts the rope with a sharp piece of metal embedded in his face and escapes in the briar patches.
Line 83 ⟶ 90:
Mountain Tim catches up to Johnny and Gyro. As the family observes the incoming demise of their three enemies, Andre feels unwell because of his wounds and Benjamin leave him behind. However, Mountain Tim uses his power to tie himself to two rocks before he can collide with Johnny and Gyro. L.A. approaches and draws [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]] in the sand to summon it. He activates the iron sand and the sand binds all three horsemen. Mountain Tim shoots at L.A. but Benjamin protects him and Mountain Tim is bound by the sand. Tim collides with Johnny and Gyro but Johnny grabs a bullet, hoping to use the [[Spin]] with it. He creates a Spin, but Benjamin stomps his hand to deprive him of this weapon. Thinking himself victorious, Benjamin is taken by surprise when Johnny's [[Tusk|nails]] spin and he shoots them, cutting Benjamin in half. Losing his mind, L.A. grabs Johnny and tries to kill him directly by extracting the iron in his arteries, but Johnny uses his spinning nails to vault above L.A. and cuts off his left toes. L.A. is also incapacitated and is left for dead in the desert.
 
Furious, L.A.. reveals to the trio that there's a bounty on Gyro's head and promises that Gyro will never reach the goal. Though L.A.'s ultimate fate is unknownnever stated, Gyro speculates that the surviving Boombooms are beyond the reach of any rescue crew and will run out of water within a day.
