Story
While Jotaro Kujo and his companions were in Singapore, looking for tickets to travel to India, Joseph and Abdul decided to anticipate Dio's next move, by using Hermit Purple on a television, trying to get a video of the vampire. Before being able to locate Dio, the Stand warned his master about the coming danger: by joining voice segments from different TV programs, Hermit Purple informed about Kakyoin being a servant of Dio.
Joseph's Stand actually presaged Rubber Soul's presence and modus operandi, since he secretly used his Stand to take Kakyoin's appearance and ambush Jotaro while he is alone with the Runaway Girl. Jotaro begins to be suspicious about "Kakyoin"'s strange behaviour: when Rubber Soul tries to push him from a balcony, Jotaro believes Kakyoin to be possessed and punches his face.
After hitting him, Rubber Soul's real power is reveled: his Stand, Yellow Temperance, can take the appearance of any person and grows bigger as it eats animal or human meat. Being unable to destroy Yellow Temperence by burning and freezing it, Jotaro drags Rubber Soul underwater. His Stand might be nigh invincible, but if the wielder his defeated, the Stand is defeated as well: Jotaro punches a now defenseless opponent, forcing him to reveal the power of J. Geil's Stand.
Rubber Soul tried to finish Jotaro with a last surprise attack, but Jotaro managed to counter it by expoliting water pressure. The now defeated Rubber Soul tries to save himself by saying that he was just kidding, but Jotaro replied by saying "Kidding? Then, let's laugh together" and proceeding to attack him with countless punches by Star Platinum. It is however unknown, if he actually killed him or not in the precess.
Appearance/Personality
Rubber Soul doesn't show any physical peculiarities: he is a medium-height curly haired man, with his Stand granting him the ability to grow and change appearance at will.
He has however a rather disturbing personality: he is extemely rude and impolite, showing no respect nor mercy for people and animals, beings that he only see as food for his Yellow Temperance. He doesn't seem to be particularly intelligent, though he has a really bad temper: he probably wanted to ambush Jotaro with Kakyin's lookings, but his unusal behaviour blew his cover.
Rubber Soul is also very violent: he attempts to kill a pickpocket by breaking his back, and eats a dog under the eyes of his master with his Stand showing no regret. In order to grow bigger, he doesn't hesitate to eat bugs either.
Trivia
- During the battle with Jotaro, Rubber Soul references Mike Tyson, saying that not even the famous boxer would be able to earn 100 millions (his prize promised by Dio for killing Jotaro and the others) by fighting for a few minutes
- In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, his moves and appearance are based on Kakyoin's ones. Furthermore, if Alexi uses his Stand power on him, Rubber Soul doesn't turn into a kid: he instead reverts to the fat woman he took the appearnace of on the cableway
