Eleven Men
The Eleven Men (１１人の男たち, Jūichi-nin no Otoko-tachi) are a group of minor unnamed antagonists featured in the 7th part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run, specifically in the "The Land of Promises: Sugar Mountain" story arc.
As Funny Valentine's henchmen, they track down Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli during the 5th stage of the Steel Ball Run to take their Saint's Corpse parts. They are all Stand Users that share the same Stand, Tatoo You!
Appearance
All eleven men share similar outfits consisting of a flat brim cowboy hat, a range coat, and a belt with a holster for their gun. Most of them have a pattern featuring small writing spread all over their hair and facial hair like a newspaper or a book.
Personality
Not much is known about their personality but they have an uncanny ability to act in unison. They also are ruthless murderers, patiently hunting after Gyro and Johnny then during their fight, using their comrades' corpses a shield.
Abilities
All Eleven Men share the same Stand ability, named Tatoo You! It allows them to use each other's body as portals, letting them merge with each other and displace themselves.
History
Steel Ball Run
The eleven men are hired by Funny Valentine after Sandman's defeat. They tail Gyro and Johnny and proved to be skillful riders and gunmen. The men follow Johnny and Gyro, who are in a rush to spend all that they have gotten from Sugar Mountain, into a bar where a shootout soon begins.[1] Though they come close to cornering and killing the protagonists, many of them are killed at the hands of the other gamblers who were given several million dollars by Gyro to protect them.
Upon leaving the bar, Gyro begins sporadically transforming into a part of the tree that imprisoned Sugar Mountain and the two realize they have to give up the Corpse Part in order to avoid the curse. Despite seeing his friend's condition, Johnny is at first reluctant to give up something so valuable. However, he ultimately initiates a trade with the last of the Eleven men; a wine bottle for the ears and the right arm that they discovered. While still doubting Johnny's sincerity, he quickly rides away with the items to avoid any further confrontation.[2]
