Egypt 9 Glory Gods: Difference between revisions

The Egypt 9 Glory Gods represent the nine members of the {{W|Ennead}}. Notably, the group is host to various irregularities in the traditional rules behind Stands: the members of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods include a pair of [[Osiris|twin]] [[Atum|Stands]] with near-identical abilities, a [[Horus|Stand]] wielded by a [[Pet Shop|falcon]], a [[Khnum|formless Stand]] that changes [[Oingo|its user]]'s appearance, and even a [[Anubis|userless Stand]] bound to an ancient sword. After the [[Joestar Group]] reaches Egypt, the nine Stands and their current userswielders assemble at [[DIO's Mansion|DIO's mansion]], where [[Dio Brando|DIO]] commands them to kill the group before they can reach him. The members then scatter across Egypt to lie in wait for the heroes.

[[Geb]] and its user, [[N'Doul]], are the first to attack the Joestars within the [[Egyptian Desert|desert]]. Geb wounds [[Noriaki Kakyoin|Kakyoin]]'s eyes, but is ultimately defeated by [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Iggy]].<ref>[["The Fool" Iggy and "Geb" N'Doul (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> Later, in [[Aswan]], [[Oingo]] and [[Boingo]] attempt to assassinate the group with [[Khnum]] and [[Tohth]], but fail each time, with Oingo eventually being hospitalized by his own weapon.<ref>[["Khnum" Oingo and "Tohth" Boingo (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> As the heroes cross [[the Nile]], [[Anubis]] possesses a boy named [[Chaka]] and confronts [[Jean Pierre Polnareff|Polnareff]] at [[Kom Ombo Temple]], tricking Polnareff into taking the Stand with him. Anubis later manages to possess Polnareff in [[Edfu]], only to be defeated by Jotaro. When its last-ditch attack fails, Anubis finds itself condemned to rust away at the bottom of a river.<ref>[[Anubis (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref>

In [[Luxor]], [[Bastet]] and its wielder [[Mariah]] battle [[Joseph Joestar]] and [[Muhammad Avdol]],<ref>[["Bastet" Mariah (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> while [[Sethan]] and its user [[Alessi]] fight Polnareff and Jotaro.<ref>[["Sethan" Alessi (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> Both are defeated by their own abilities, however, as Mariah is crushed between two cars and Alessi is pummeled by a young Jotaro. The Joestar group attempts to gain information in [[GizehGiza]], only to run across [[Osiris]]'s wielder, [[Daniel J. D'Arby]]. After tricking Polnareff into giving up his soul and outsmarting Joseph, D'Arby is challenged by Jotaro to a game of poker, in which the latter mentally overwhelms D'Arby with an all-or-nothing bluff.<ref>[[D'Arby the Gambler (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> Meanwhile, [[Hol Horse]] kidnaps Boingo and takes him to [[Cairo]], where the two lie in wait for the Joestar group. Though things appear to be looking up for the new duo at first, a mistimed attack from Hol Horse turns against its own user, incapacitating him. For his part, Boingo decides to give up using his Stand for evil and turn over a new leaf, only to be mauled by Iggy.<ref>[[Hol Horse and Boingo (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref>

Later, the falcon [[Pet Shop]], wielder of [[Horus]], is confronted by Iggy while attempting to kill a trespassing child. The falcon pursues Iggy underground and severely wounds him, but the dog eventually succeeds in killing the falcon with its own attack.<ref>[[The Gatekeeper of Hell, Pet Shop (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref> Iggy then leads the Joestar group to the mansion, where the final Glory God, [[Atum]], and its user, [[Telence T. D'Arby]], reveal themselves. Taking advantage of [[Kenny G.]]'s [[Tenore Sax]], a Stand unaffiliated with the Glory Gods, the younger D'Arby brother separates Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin from the others by dragging them into the basement. D'Arby wins against Kakyoin in the game ''[[F-MegaMEGA]]'' and steals his soul, but is ultimately defeated by Jotaro and Joseph when they cheat their way to victory in ''[[Oh! That's Aa Baseball!]]''.<ref>[[D'Arby the Player (storyStory arcArc)]]</ref>
