Diavolo/fr
Diavolo (ディアボロ, Diaboro) est l'antagoniste principal de la cinquième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Vento Aureo, et le cinquième antagoniste principal de la série.
Surtout connu comme le "Boss"du gang Passione qui corrompt Néapolis en vendant de la drogue dans les rues, Diavolo est le supérieur et l'ennemi juré de Giorno Giovanna and Blono Buccellati. Diavolo est très secret et personne ne connait son vrai nom, son apparence et son passé. Diavolo est le père de Trish Una et ordonne à l'équipe de Buccellati de l'amener à lui en la protégeant des traîtres de la Squadra Esecuzioni.
Diavolo a secrètement une autre personnalité nommée Vinegar Doppio, et est un manieur de Stand qui peut effacer le temps avec son King Crimson.
Apparence
Diavolo est un homme de grande taille (195 cm dans l'anime) dans la trentaine avec une silhouette maigre mais un corps musclée. Dans la plupart du temps et particulièrement durant sa première, il est totalement caché par les ténèbres sauf ses yeux brillants, il semble avoir les cheveux raides courts et peignés et porte un costume et une cravate.
Son apparence est radicalement modifiée lorsqu'elle est pleinement révélée: Diavolo a les cheveux longs, à motif de léopard avec diverses taches, les mèches séparées en zigzag; dont la frange est calée et légèrement écartée sur le côté. Le reste de ses cheveux descend directement sur ses épaules. Dans les représentations précédentes, différentes quantités de cheveux de Diavolo étaient coupées droites, allant de petites mèches à l'ensemble de ses cheveux. Sa chemise, cachée sous le pull de Doppio, semble être faite de mailles complexes: elle couvre ses épaules et son torse mais le long de son dos et de son abdomen sont des cercles liés qui sont rentrés sous sa ceinture, qui à l'arrière dans deux à trois longs "queue de manteau". Sur ses bras, des manches florales élégamment conçues mènent à une paire de bracelets. Il partage également une un pantalon clouté et des mocassins sans chaussettes avec Doppio. Dans la plupart de ses apparitions, Diavolo a une posture légèrement voûtée en position debout.
Ses yeux sont uniques car ses iris sont "fragmentés", formant des taches et des éclats d'iris entiers avec un reflet de forme triangulaire. Cependant, alors que Bucciarati contrôle son corps, ses yeux deviennent normaux avec des reflets circulaires.
Son apparence diffère grandement lorsqu'il opère comme son alter-ego, Doppio. Diavolo rapetisse notamment, perd sa musculature, et Doppio à le visage d'un jeune garçon avec des taches de rousseur.
Palettes
Personnalité
Le plus grand trait de caractère que Diavolo montre est son obsession à effacer toute trace de son histoire et à garder son identité secrète au monde, une contrainte qu'il essaie de satisfaire par tous les moyens. Comme il croit que les erreurs du passé ou simplement le passé lui-même sont quelque chose à vaincre et à détruire pour que les êtres humains grandissent, il est exceptionnellement anxieux à propos de son passé, le liant à la peur et craignant que quiconque l'apprenne. Même dans la hiérarchie déjà secrète de Passione, Diavolo va très loin pour cacher son identité et son visage, donnant des ordres par procuration ou par ordinateur afin que personne ne le rencontre jamais personnellement. Diavolo vit la plupart de sa vie dans l'ombre, et semble voyager perpétuellement à travers l'Italie caché derrière Doppio, sa double personnalité, et de dormir exclusivement dans des chambres d'hôtel. Cette compulsion à effacer son passé est également une allégorie de l'imperfection inhérente de King Crimson, en particulier la capacité d'Epitaph. Bien qu'il puisse voir dans l'avenir afin d'éviter toute erreur, la capacité du Stand de Diavolo ne peut pas effacer les malheurs de sa vie qui se sont déjà produits, le forçant à essayer de corriger ses erreurs par lui-même.
Diavolo va violemment pourchasser et à tuer ceux qui tentent de découvrir quelque se soit sur lui, ou sont simplement susceptibles de conduire ses ennemis vers lui, comme le montre sa volonté de tuer même sa propre famille si cela signifie garder son identité secrète (il tente d'assassiner sa fille, qui n'a même jamais rencontré Diavolo et ne savait que les choses que sa mère avait transmises). Cela est cependant partiellement justifié, car les membres de la famille de l'univers JoJo's Bizarre Adventure partagent un lien spirituel mystique, Diavolo et Trish étant en mesure de ressentir l'âme de l'autre et de savoir où se trouve l'autre. Néanmoins, Diavolo est suffisamment pragmatique pour ne pas juste tuer ) chaque fois qu'il est sur le point d'être découvert, notamment en utilisant son pouvoir pour confondre une femme de ménage de l'hôtel aussi longtemps qu'il doit effacer toute trace de sa présence. Dès qu'il apprend qu'un membre de Passione tente de l'enquêter, ils seront marqués comme traîtres et seront exécuté pour démontrer l'étendu de son pouvoir absolu et sa colère. Les plus notables sont Sorbet et Gelato, que Diavolo avait tués et dans le cas de Sorbet en particulier, coupé en morceaux et encadré dans du formol, puis livrés à La Squadra Esecuzioni comme avertissement du sort qui attend les traîtres potentiels. Diavolo s'obstine également à garder le secret, même vis-à-vis de Doppio, son subordonné et alter ego le plus fiable.
Son deuxième trait de caractère le plus important est sa fierté et sa confiance en soi, d'abord en son King Crimson, puis en lui-même. Comme il pense que King Crimson le rend invincible parce qu'il lui permet de voir les "pièges" de l'avenir et de les éviter, et lui permet de manipuler le destin et la réalité en choisissant d'annuler des événements arbitrairement, il se vante à juste titre mais régulièrement du pouvoir de King Crimson. Diavolo affirme notamment que les actions de quiconque devant King Crimson sont vaines, ce qui est vrai dans une certaine mesure. De plus, Diavolo est intimement convaincu de sa supériorité innée sur l'humanité. Il utilise des épithètes telles que "Empereur" ou "Roi des rois", ou comme les autres principaux antagonistes de la série, et utiliser le préfixe Moi (この, kono) pour s'annoncer en signe de supériorité sur les autres.
Le parrain de la mafia ne doute pas qu'il est destiné à rester au sommet pour toujours. Cette fierté disproportionnée ne dérive pas seulement de son idée que les gens grandissent en défaisant leur passé (et par conséquent, il a grandi beaucoup en raison de ses tentatives constantes d'effacer son histoire), il a également la ferme conviction qu'il est béni par le destin; le passé de Diavolo a impliqué des circonstances extrêmement inhabituelles telles qu'une grossesse anormalement longue dans une prison entièrement réservée aux femmes, faisant de sa naissance rien de moins qu'un miracle, puis lui trouvant six flèches qui lui ont donné son Stand extraordinairement puissant ainsi que sa richesse énorme. Dans le prolongement de l'idée qu'il est béni par le destin, Diavolo se considère lui aussi extrêmement chanceux.
Il accepte volontiers toute difficulté comme un «test» qu'il devra surmonter pour prouver qu'il se tient au-dessus de tout le monde, et bien qu'il puisse être sujet à l'anxiété ou au désespoir, sa fierté l'emportera et il choisira constamment de faire face directement aux problèmex qu'il rencontrera. Cela l'amène à affronter de face Gold Experience Requiem, même s'il avait prévu la mort de Giorno Giovanna et n'avait aucune idée de ses nouveaux pouvoirs. Contre Requiem Diavolo, la confiance s'est effondrée lorsque celui-ci a contré ses capacités d'effacement et de prédiction du temps et l'a laissé impuissant. Quand il s'est retrouvé pris au piège dans une boucle de mort sans fin, incapable de faire quoi que ce soit, Diavolo a paniqué et sa dernière apparition dans l'histoire le montre effrayé par une petite fille. Sa fierté, sa confiance et, à des degrés divers, sa santé mentale étant complètement détruits par ses décès répétés.
Other than his own philosophy of defeating the past so as to mature, Diavolo also lives by another thematic philosophy that results are the only things that matter in the world. As a decisive and assertive crime boss, Diavolo doesn't hesitate to take shortcuts or directly involve himself with troublesome matters if those actions are the quickest and easiest paths to an end. King Crimson's ability is an echo of this, and maybe the source of it, leaving nothing but the outcomes of situations, specifically those he himself sees fit to keep. He abuses his Stand's power as a means to produce the most favorable conclusions to his problems, and at the same time boldly prove his philosophy's claim to anyone that he confronts. Diavolo shows a degree of prioritization for these results and answers as well, notably when he, upon meeting with Polnareff whom he thought he killed years ago, only questions him as to why he would have an Arrow before attacking once more, rather than how he learned the name of the boss of Passione, or even how he managed to survive being thrown off a cliff into rocky waters.
For Diavolo, keeping stability within Passione is secondary to maintaining power and his status as the boss; a mentality that eventually realizes the corruption of Naples, worsens the city's drug problem, and ultimately, leads to the rousal of Giorno Giovanna into joining the gang seeking to dethrone their boss. Diavolo only commands the obedience of his subordinates through greed or fear, causing the organization to even be corrupted within itself, members turning against each other, and multiple people to plot against him. Diavolo is also unforgiving of those he considers enemies, most especially traitors. Should anyone try to approach his alter ego Doppio and pry too much on his past, Diavolo violently rebukes them. For instance, he nearly gouged the eye out of the taxi driver that robbed Doppio and harassed him, and outright and violently murdered a fortune teller that correctly divined his history.
Diavolo has also demonstrated an inability to empathize or even understand other people's emotions and morals, especially those righteous, as well as an inability to properly interact with anyone, due in no small part to his overwhelming pride and antisocial secretiveness. When Bucciarati revolts, Diavolo openly theorizes that Bucciarati merely wanted to overthrow him or was opportunistic in his presence, without considering that hurting his own daughter deeply angered Bucciarati. Also forgetting that Squadra Esecuzioni would have a grudge against Diavolo after killing Sorbet and Gelato, he sent them to investigate Donatella's house, allowing them to uncover the existence of Trish. When interacting with others, Diavolo tends to act rather respectfully for his opponents and subordinates if they are obedient and competent. He compliments both Risotto and Bucciarati for their resourcefulness during their battles, and offers Risotto an honorable death. On a smaller scale, he compliments a fortune teller capable of accurately deriving his past as being "the best of the best" and gave a brutal yet painless death. However, Diavolo is also domineering and aggressive, taking his thoughts for absolute truths and ordering his interlocutor around; When he is angry, he is prone to shout insults and issue death threats.
Diavolo approaches fights coldly, only considering confrontations as chores to be completed to maintain his supremacy. Diavolo favors eliminating his victims quickly using his King Crimson to confuse them and kill them in a single move. As seen with Bucciarati, Diavolo is shown slightly amused (or at least his Stand is) by the futile efforts of his opponents, and boasts regularly about his perceived invincibility. A pragmatic man, Diavolo still approaches the situation carefully, especially when Doppio is in command, and cannot use his full power. In an unadvantageous situation, Diavolo is patient, carefully undermining the enemy before using one critical attack, making him a most dangerous enemy during any battle, regardless of King Crimson's time erasure.
During his youth, the teenager named Diavolo was described as dim and timid, but well-meaning. He also expressed his wish to become a sailor and had a girlfriend Donatella, they were sufficiently close enough to have a child together. Due to the lack of further information and Diavolo's alternate personality disorder, it is unknown if this was a facade, or if he was genuinely like this before. Either way his secretiveness and ruthlessness were already present, having hidden his mother underground and having burnt his home village to the ground simply to hide his past.
For unknown reasons, Diavolo kept his mother alive, albeit trapped underground, and his old girlfriend Donatella alive, despite his willingness to kill his daughter.
Pouvoirs et compétences
Stand
Diavolo's Stand is King Crimson, an extremely powerful Stand with tremendous physical strength and the ability to erase time up to a 10 seconds time frame as well as predict anything that happens over the following 10 seconds. Although it has some limitations, King Crimson renders him essentially invincible in a fight as he can either foresee and counter the enemy's actions or render them meaningless by erasing the timeframe in which they happen.
Personal
Double Personality
Despite (likely) being human, Diavolo and Doppio share many minor abilities in changing their physical appearance. Doppio looks to be around 17 years of age and shorter than Bucciarati. However, while attacking that same man as Diavolo, he appeared to be a head taller, if not more, as well as being muscular. Furthermore, when Diavolo takes over, Doppio's freckles disappear and his voice deepens, and it may be possible that his hair can become longer or shorter than Doppio's. According to Diavolo, it takes him roughly 10 seconds to completely take over Doppio's body, but the transformation back to Doppio is instant.
While Doppio is in control, Diavolo has quite a few abilities, border-lining omniscience. He was able to tell that the taxi driver didn't see the picture of Donatella that Doppio was carrying, despite his subordinate's beliefs, and was later able to see the lurking Risotto. Diavolo also seems to be able to manipulate Doppio's memories, as Diavolo remembers everything and can see everything that happens to Doppio but not vice versa, although it's unknown how much of this is based off Doppio's possible poor memory.
Diavolo can communicate with Doppio through any kind of object while not in control, granting his subordinate the belief that his alter ego is another person all together. Although we haven't heard the quality of these "calls" yet and whether or not the objects alter the quality of Diavolo's voice, Doppio can always hear his alter ego's voice through the object. Doppio also, on occasion, forgets that he's been able to communicate with Diavolo, but he consistently has never realized he's been using a broken or non-phone object. These "phones" have ranged from ice cream to frogs, to cigarettes to toys, and of course Doppio always carries on him a broken or dismantled phone headset.
Soul Manipulation
Diavolo is for unknown reasons, exceptionally knowledgeable about souls and their mechanisms, and is also equally skilled at manipulating his own soul.
Diavolo shows uncommon knowledge about souls, for instance being able to tell the near dying Bucciarati's state and then correctly guess that he can only see souls. Knowing that souls of family members have the same "scent", Diavolo is able to grant a shard of his soul to Doppio to disguise himself as Trish's soul. Moreover, under Chariot Requiem's influence, Diavolo has been able to control in which body he could go, although he otherwise couldn't freely control it.
Although Diavolo could exert subtle control of his own soul, he remains subject to the powers of soul-manipulating Stands such as Chariot Requiem.
Spiritual Connection
As Trish Una's father, Diavolo has a spiritual connection to her. By instinct, he can sense that she is indeed his daughter and was able to feel that she was alive despite being informed that the plane she was on had crashed.
Intelligence
Diavolo is a gifted tactician and is generally more intelligent than average.
As the proofs of Diavolo's abilities, the Boss has built a powerful gang with influence spreading across Italy in a matter of years. To avoid his enemies spying on him, Diavolo has proved to be imaginative in delivering his orders, using proxies, computers, dead drops, or even exploiting his subordinates' Stand abilities so only they could access the messages.
During a fight, Diavolo usually relies on his King Crimson's power and favors straightforward tactics like erasing time and positioning himself for a fatal strike. However, Diavolo has also shown to be rather observant, taking note of any event and keeping tabs on his enemies' abilities. He notably predicted that Giorno Giovanna's wit would become a real nuisance to his plans and treaded carefully with him. Diavolo also kept observing the apparently defeated Team Bucciarati from afar and managed to correctly analyze their state of mind and subsequently roughly guess their goals. Finally, Diavolo was the first and only one person to be observant enough to see the mechanisms of Chariot Requiem and guess its weak points, enabling him to disable the Stand effortlessly.
Diavolo has shown to be able of thinking on his feet, not panicking when he was chased by Bruno Bucciarati and Narancia Ghirga in a body deprived of hemoglobin and quickly using the surrounding fauna to replenish his blood. He also subsequently exploited this opportunity to assassinate Leone Abbacchio. Likewise in Rome, an accidental meeting with Bruno was exploited by him to approach Polnareff and assassinate him. Diavolo's arguably most effective tactic was during his confrontation against Risotto Nero, during which he exploited both the presence of Team Bucciarati, Risotto's own scalpels, and his own weakened state to manipulate Aerosmith into shooting only Risotto and turn the tables against the assassin.
Relationships
- With Alter Ego:
- Diavolo to Doppio: Although in most cases it's self-preservation and survival (assuming killing Doppio would kill Diavolo, or vice versa), Diavolo seems to have a lot of affection for Doppio: he put Doppio in a very dangerous position of being the underboss instead of a usual subordinate, he often gave Doppio directions to being successful and even warned him to keep away from Nero and encouraged him to flee, and most peculiar of all, he has a habit of sometimes calling Doppio "[his] (cute) Doppio" with the more down-to-earth "watashi wa" pronoun. Noticeably, when Chariot Requiem activates and Doppio is shot multiple times by Mista, Diavolo almost immediately destroys and impales Narancia on a gate, instantly killing him, and begins to attempt more murders - before it happened, Diavolo was perfectly hidden away and everyone assumed Diavolo was in Bucciarati's body. On the other hand, Diavolo doesn't spend a single thought for Doppio whom he left for dead in Bucciarati's body.
- Doppio to Diavolo: While Doppio never learned the truth between themselves, he highly respects Diavolo and always called him "Boss" - though, whether or not Doppio knew Diavolo's name is unknown. Doppio also seems to be Diavolo's gopher, something he takes pride in considering how loyal he was to a point of stubbornness, and he seemed heed most of Diavolo's orders when he remembered them. According to Doppio himself before his death, Diavolo had told him that staying in Bucciarati's body would be dangerous and decided to move, leaving Doppio to his fate.
- Donatella Una: Although it's unknown how their relationship went, outside of Diavolo refusing to give her a name and never talking about himself, it can be inferred that it was largely positive. He took a picture of Donatella and she kept it throughout the years (although Diavolo becomes enraged upon learning that it still exists). Interestingly enough, Diavolo also never attempted on Donatella's life despite his ruthlessness. Likewise, Donatella loved Diavolo and told her daughter good things about him (albeit all lies Diavolo said before hand), and it's known that as Donatella died from her illness, she wished to see her lover again.
- Trish Una: It's inferred that Diavolo was never actually aware of Trish's existence until Donatella passed away and Squadra Esecuzioni begun looking for clues on their former employer's identity. Diavolo realizes that their bond of blood allows him to sense her presence (the bonds of family being a reoccurring supernatural force in the world of JoJo). Immediately realizing that she could sense him as well and jeopardize his anonymity, he set in motion a plan to kill her with his own hands and used Bucciarati's group as pawns to bring her to him without letting the traitors capture her. In the final battle, Diavolo disowns Trish, wishing she never had been born. When she stops him from getting the Arrow during the final battle, he responds by having King Crimson punch clean through her stomach in a final attempt to kill her. However, she would survive due to Bucciarati's interception. Afterward, Diavolo would at the very least thank Trish for giving him the courage to attack Giorno Giovanna, as she revealed to her allies that Diavolo was attempting to run away, tempering his pride.
Ennemis
Team Bucciarati
- Giorno Giovanna: Giorno planned to take down Diavolo since the beginning due to Passione's corruption of Naples, which included an agenda of drug trafficking affecting even children. Because of this, Diavolo retaliated and made Giorno a high-priority target. The two became bitter enemies over the course of Part 5, with Diavolo having invoked Giorno's anger during their confrontation after the death of Narancia, and Giorno helping to rouse Team Bucciarati's betrayal. During the race for the Arrow, Giorno alone figured out that Diavolo was residing in one of the group's bodies, causing the Boss to realize that Giorno was his greatest threat. With Bucciarati's demise, Diavolo confirms that Giorno was in fact the more dangerous individual due to his cunning, as well as the fact that he had planned to usurp him the moment the boy entered Passione.
- Bruno Bucciarati: Prior to meeting Giorno, Bucciarati was loyal to Diavolo, even though he was aware of the gang's involvement in the drug trafficking within Naples. Although Bucciarati initially had no power to take action, with urging from Giorno, he became determined to take the boss down as well. While this eventually led to Diavolo's killing him, Diavolo had declared his respect for Bucciarati, complimenting him on his prowess and valor.
- Narancia Ghirga: Although not directly interacting with Narancia, he was a threat nonetheless once he turned traitor. After Chariot Requiem was activated and Doppio was shot by Mista, Diavolo retaliates by killing Narancia, whom had a radar capable of finding anyone attempting to attack Chariot Requiem.
- Leone Abbacchio: Diavolo feared Abbacchio as he could easily find out whom Passione's Boss was with his powers. As such, Diavolo personally went back to Sardinia to intercept Abbacchio, and when given the opportunity, assassinated him while posing not only as Doppio, but also as a simple child playing soccer.
- Guido Mista: While Diavolo lacks a connection with Mista, Mista on the other hand shares his teammates hatred and fear of the boss. Diavolo likewise regarded him as a threat just for betrayal. In the end, after the final battle with Diavolo, Mista was the last original member of Bucciarati's team before Giorno intact.
- Pannacotta Fugo: Fugo, even with all the evidence given to him, was torn between swearing loyalty to Bucciarati or staying on Diavolo's good side. Understanding the extreme danger of betraying Passione and Diavolo, Fugo ultimately chose to remain on Diavolo's side. In a rejected story line, Fugo was also sent to kill his former friends, and if that was kept, Araki admits that Giorno would have needed to give the killing blow, which he felt would be too heartbreaking.
Other
- Jean Pierre Polnareff: Polnareff is one of Diavolo's many enemies, though Diavolo did not have any interest in Polnareff particularly. As soon as Diavolo found out Polnareff had been investigating him, he made a personal and brutal attempt to dispose of him, but unknowingly left him alive. During their second confrontation, Diavolo did not care much that Polnareff was still alive, nor that he knew his name, but rather wanted to know immediately why Polnareff would possess an Arrow, displaying a sense of urgency on the matter of his familiar foe. Nonetheless, Diavolo would, without much effort, successfully put an end to Polnareff once more, stepping on his neck in order to check his pulse and confirm his death. However, Diavolo did not know that Chariot Requiem would save its former master by preserving his soul in the body of the turtle Coco Jumbo.
- Squadra Esecuzioni: Diavolo not only refused to give La Squadra a territory and higher pay, but when the first signs of betrayal started showing, also killed two of their members, one of whom was sectioned into 36 individual pieces, which were then mailed individually back to the group. It should be noted that it took La Squadra two years to form a retaliation plan, which Diavolo immediately found out about and retaliated against. Diavolo disdained these assassins, but came to respect their leader, Risotto Nero to a degree, considering him a worthy opponent and granting him the dubious "honor" of a painless death if he obeyed his command of restoring his iron level during their fight.
- Cioccolata and Secco: As immoral Diavolo was, he considered both of them complete monsters and only kept them in his organization as part of his personal guard squad due to their powerful combination and individual abilities alike. On their part, Cioccolata and Secco only obeyed Diavolo because he let them torture people and planned to overthrow him eventually.
