Nukesaku
Nukesaku is a minor antagonist featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders. He is a henchman of Dio Brando and one of the last vampires in the manga.
Personality
Nukesaku suffers from an inferiority complex due to his stand being looked down upon by Dio's other henchmen. Even when there's only four stand users left to guard Dio's mansion (Nukesaku, Vanilla Ice, Kenny G and Terence T. D'Arby) they refuse to let him join the battle. When the other three are defeated, Nukesaku immediately jumps at the chance to demonstrate his ability and defeat Jotaro and company, but is careless in the placement of his body parts. Even when he is forced to lead the group up to Dio's tower, he still maintains a sinister belief that Dio will use the opportunity to defeat the Joestars, and is greatly surprised when he realizes that his master has mutilated and killed him instead, demonstrating that even Dio found his stand useless.
Synopsis
Nukesaku apparently suffers abuse from the rest of Dio's allies, being treated as a burden due to his (lack of) power. After his comrades are defeated, however, Nukesaku attempts to use his ability to defeat Jotaro and company, but is quickly and effortlessly dispatched by them when they discover that his thumbs point in the opposite direction when he is clasping his hands. He is forced to lead the group to Dio and believes that Dio will use this opportunity to defeat the Joestars, but when he removes the lid of his master's coffin, finds himself killed and sectioned to pieces in the coffin instead.
Trivia
- Nukesaku makes a cameo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future. If Alessi uses his stand's power on Dio, Dio will be briefly turned into Nukesaku.
