Hudgyn Sasdarl (ハジーン・サスダール, Hajīn Sasudāru) is a JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia moderator. A close associate of fellow JoJo PS2 modder penguino, Hudgyn has also been responsible for several mods and patches for GioGio's Bizarre Adventure,[2] and the two have released an English translation of the Phantom Blood PS2 game.[3][4]
Personality
When first introduced to a situation, Hudgyn prefers to remain quiet and adjust to their surroundings in peace before slowly increasing the magnitude of their contributions. Once they become comfortable in a given scenario, they consistently take a deriding attitude toward people and media. Hudgyn particularly enjoys mocking JoJolion, citing what they see as its lack of focus or restraint, poor time management, abrupt shifts in characterization and detail, and inability to communicate its themes in an interesting manner. Though they are most pleased by their own jabs, they nonetheless support others' petty insults to nearly the same degree.
Hudgyn's insistence on poking fun at problems leads them to constantly adjust and tamper with their own contributions, hastily correcting any mistakes they see. The most notable example of this is their GioGio's Bizarre Adventure translation patch, which saw continuous updates of varying scale for over three years after its release. In the case of wiki articles, this habit often manifests as one large edit with an edit description followed by several minor edits with no edit description. This, ironically, is shown to have hindered Hudgyn's ability to deliver information on their first attempt, and they often require multiple attempts or edits to convey what they mean to convey.
Hudgyn has demonstrated the ability to enjoy media that caters to their tastes. Games such as GioGio's Bizarre Adventure and manga such as Phantom Blood and Gorgeous Irene's various one-shots have earned their approval, despite various minor complaints with varying degrees of plausibility. In order, their favorite parts of the JoJo manga are Parts 5, 1, 3, 6, 4, 2, 9, 7, and 8 (presumably with a large gap between Parts 7 and 8); their favorite parts of the JoJo anime, in order, are 5, 6, 3, 2, 1, and 4, which should tell you all you need to know about them.
Strangely, Hudgyn chooses to associate themselves with a fictional character named Hitagi Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari and its sequels. While their exact reasoning remains a mystery, it is worth noting that Senjougahara is initially characterized by her harsh tongue, brutal honesty, and insurmountable stubbornness and pride. Senjougahara also prominently displays growth as a human being as the series continues, something that Hudgyn seems clearly incapable of.

Viewer's Notes
In a stunning turn of events, Toshikazu Hazamada featured in a one-shot. In an equally stunning twist, the one-shot was the size of a Weekly Shonen Jump chapter. It was nice to see that Hazamada himself is just as pathetic in his own story as in Diamond is Unbreakable, but it does raise the question of what idea inspired the one-shot to begin with. Hazamada's ambition to become the protagonist of his own life is palpable, and yet he's still too far gone to be sympathetic. But if he's unable to be a protagonist, why is he? By chance, Surface ends up beating up an idol's rude two-timing boyfriend; is the implication that he's worse than Hazamada? Is he farther from a protagonist role than the guy who attacks kittens for fun and relishes the thought of someone seeing him scratch his testicles? Is it just the appeal of justice being blindly delivered upon the unjust by the unjust? It's not that I don't get it; I simply don't see how it outweighs Hazamada being Hazamada. Rohan appeared, though, which justifies everything as always.
