—Le rire de Jayro

Jayro Zeppeli (ジャイロ・ツェペリ, Jairo Tseperi), de son vrai nom Julius Caesar Zeppeli (ユーリウス・カイザー・ツェペリ, Yūriusu Kaizā Tseperi) est le deutéragoniste de la septième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run.

Jayro est un maître de la Rotation et un bourreau originaire du Royaume de Naples. Il rejoint la Steel Ball Run pour gagner l'amnistie d'un enfant innocent qu'il était chargé d'exécuter. Les armes fétiches de Jayro sont ses Boules de Fer spéciales qui produisent et manipulent la Rotation dont la maîtrise lui permet plus tard d'accéder au Stand Ball Breaker.

Apparence

Jayro est un homme de taille moyenne / supérieure à la moyenne et de constitution moyenne / athlétique. Il a des cheveux qui atteignent le milieu du dos, des yeux clairs, des plaques carrées de poils du visage tapissant sa mâchoire et (dans les illustrations) des lèvres souvent peintes. Soit il porte des prothèses, soit il aurait ciselé la phrase "GO! GO! ZEPPELI" directement sur ses dents en les couvrant de métal.

La tenue de base de Jayro se compose d'un manteau en cuir noir clouté à manches courtes, d'un pantalon en cuir et de bottes de cowboy. Il porte une ceinture dont la boucle est décorée avec une paire de mains pointant vers son entrejambe et, à ses hanches, une paire d'étuis spéciaux pour ses Boules de Métal. Il porte un chapeau à larges bords, avec des fentes sur la couronne et le bord qui laissent passer la lumière et l'air. Autour de la couronne de son chapeau se trouvent une paire de lunettes à fentes. Selon la météo, il peut porter des lunettes en plus d'un foulard.

“
Je vais remplacer mon père qui a mis sa fierté dans la lignée familiale. Ce travail est mon devoir ... et cela ne changera jamais ...
”
—Jayro Zeppeli, Steel Ball Run Chapter 21: Gyro Zeppeli's Mission, Part 2

Jayro est un bourreau arrogant et flamboyant marqué par la dureté de la vie, qui participe à la Steel Ball Run pour un jeune garçon.

Jayro apparaît initialement comme un concurrent agressif dans la course Steel Ball Run. Contrairement à d'autres concurrents, Jayro cherche à saisir la première place par-dessus tout, se précipitant devant tout le monde[1] puis repoussant tous ceux qui le défient.[2][3] Il a également tendance à prendre des raccourcis dangereux.[4][5]

Jayro est un homme grossier, se moquant de la grande majorité de ceux qu'il rencontre avec des insultes et des commentaires moqueurs. Même avec son ami le plus proche Johnny Joestar, Jayro ne mâche pas ses mots et se dispute parfois avec lui. De plus, Johnny n'a fait une impression durable sur Jayro que par sa forte obstination[6] et pensait peu de lui lors de leur première rencontre.[7] La seule personne pour laquelle Jayro avait un certain respect est son père, le sévère Gregorio Zeppeli. L'excès de confiance de Jayro s'étend à ses combats, au cours desquels Jayro est enclin à se moquer de ses ennemis d'une manière ou à dire quelque chose d'insultant. Par exemple, il s'est moqué ouvertement du chapeau "ridicule" de Mountain Tim.[8]

Jayro est particulièrement fier de sa maîtrise du Spin, une technique familiale impliquant la rotation et le lancement de billes d'acier à divers effets et salue la Rotation comme le summum de l'habileté humaine[9]. Cette fierté est, dans une certaine mesure, justifiée lorsque le Spin parvient à dominer Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - Love Train.[10]. Cependant, en tant qu'enseignant, il semblait être quelque peu réticent, ne prenant la peine d'enseigner à Johnny les bases du Spin et de l'initier au rectangle d'or que lorsqu'ils étaient menacés par un nouvel ennemi.[11]

En tant que bourreau et homme belliqueux, Jayro n'a pas peur de recourir à la violence, même à la force létale. Cependant, Jayro n'a pas la même impitoyabilité que Johnny et ne cherche pas initialement à tuer ses ennemis s'il le juge inutile. En particulier, Gyro a essayé de décourager un voleur de se battre avec lui et a utilisé ses Boules de Métal seulement pour qu'il se tue si ce dernier en venait à essayer de lui tirer dessus, au lieu de directement le tuer.[12]

Néanmoins, Jayro possède un côté altruiste et aime aider quiconque a besoin de son aide, notamment le paraplégique Johnny à qui il a enseigné la technique de la Rotation et aidé à acquérir les Pièces du cadavre sacré, ou Marco, l'enfant sans défense en cherchant à faire appel à sa peine de mort via une victoire sur la Steel Ball Run. Jayro défia l'autorité de Gregorio Zeppeli sur son côté altruiste, car celui-ci désapprouvait toute manifestation de sentimentalité dans la vie. Il désobéit finalement à son père en allant en Amérique.[13]

Johnny a initialement déclaré que Gyro n'avait pas la motivation et la détermination nécessaires pour faire avancer les choses. Le jockey a fait valoir que parce que Gyro avait hérité de tout ce qu'il avait en tant que membre de la classe supérieure et héritier de la technique familiale de ka Rotation, il n'avait pas le genre de faim égoïste née de la souffrance qui serait cruciale dans la course.[14] De fait, Gyro Zeppeli a d'abord participé à la course par souci altruiste pour Marco, et s'est principalement appuyé sur des astuces pour l'emporter dans la course. Au cours de sa bataille contre Ringo Roadagain, il a changé ses motivations originales pour un objectif plus personnel, le chemin pour voir par lui-même si Marco méritait d'être exécuté et qui était exactement le cadavre.[15] Après cela, Gyro est devenu moins arrogant et s'est concentré sérieusement sur ses combats. Dans son équitation, Gyro est passé à un style plus personnel, choisissant instinctivement son propre itinéraire au lieu du "chemin le plus court", lui permettant même de surpasser Diego dans la course.[16]

Hors des combats, Jayro possède également une personnalité excentrique et est particulièrement flamboyant. Jayro a un penchant pour les gags, impliquant des jeux de mots ou un type d'humour inexplicable, passant des mauvais jeux de mots[17] à des sketchs défiant toute logique[18], racontant fréquemment de telles blagues à Johnny de façon impulsive. Il créé aussi une chanson sur le fromage, la chantant à Johnny et étant heureux que ce dernier l'apprécie. [19] Il aime aussi les gestes dramatiques et les phrases grandiloquentes, disant que la déesse de la victoire chevauchait avec lui et qu'elle lui retirerait sa faveur s'il laissait une autre femme monter avec lui. Contrairement à Johnny, Jayro sourit fréquemment, exposant ses dents en métal.[20] Le simple fait qu'il ait gravé ses dents avec le message "Go! Go! Zeppeli" expose déjà sa nature ostentatoire.[20] De façon humoristique, Jayro garde également un ours en peluche rose avec lui, l'aimant suffisamment pour le garder même pendant la Steel Ball Run[21], bien qu'il le laisse à un moment donné. Cependant, imitant son propre père, Jayro peut être sévère et digne lorsqu'il parle de la technique Zeppeli de la Rotation.

Fortement influencé par les enseignements de Gregorio sur les incertitudes de la vie - en utilisant une métaphore de «balle de tennis sur le filet» - et le pouvoir de la Rotation n'étant rien de moins que miraculeux, Jayro a une vision optimiste de la vie et est convaincu qu'il peut surmonter les revers, même s'il faudrait un miracle pour les surmonter, tant qu'il suivrait un chemin vertueux. Néanmoins, dans la logique de la métaphore de la "balle de tennis sur le filet", Jayro est conscient que l'échec est tout aussi probable.[22] Cette idéologie est à plusieurs reprises confirmée d'une manière ou d'une autre avec de nombreuses coïncidences et des miracles l'aidant tout au long de son voyage et travaillant contre lui, aboutissant à la libération de Marco sans son intervention mais à la mort du garçon d'un rhume plus tard.[23]

Jayro est un coureur de jupons, un flashback montre qu'il couchait avec une patiente[24] et il on le voit une fois en train de flirter avec de jolies filles.[25] En revanche, la première fois que Jayro et Johnny rencontrent Lucy, il refuse de la laisser monter avec lui et déclare qu '"aucune femme ne montera mon cheval". Il explique plus tard que la déesse de la victoire serait jalouse s'il laissait "une autre femme" monter avec lui.[26]

Gyro has a few tics of language. For instance, he has a signature "Nyo-ho-ho!" chuckle[20] and he usually shouts out "ORA!" when he hurls a Steel Ball in combat, reminiscent of the Stand Cries of the former Joestar Stands. Eventually, after Gyro's death, Johnny adopts Gyro's battlecry as Tusk ACT 4's own Stand Rush.

Pouvoirs et compétences

La Rotation

La Rotation en action
Main article: Spin
See also: Steel Ball

The Zeppeli family's Spin technique, usually applied with special Steel Balls, is a versatile skill Gyro has trained in since his youth. Gyro equips himself with two Steel Balls as a means of self-defense, attack, and general strategic advantage.

Throwing his Steel Balls with the Spin, Gyro may create a variety of impressive trajectories, able even to have them return directly to him, mainly after successful contact with his target.

On impact with flesh, spiral ripples often appear. Gyro may apply a wide range of effects to human or animal targets, including muscular, nerve, and bone manipulation, and the forceful wringing of flesh to drain water.

Gyro explains that although used by his family for execution, the Spin was not developed for destructive ends, and is in many ways equally suitable in medical treatment.

The Spin may be viewed as the Steel Ball Run counterpart to the Ripple featured primarily in Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency.

Scan

Scan

The tentatively named Scan (スキャン, Sukyan) is an ability that Gyro temporarily awakens to after possessing the Corpse's right eye. The word TURBŌ is inscribed on Gyro's iris, behind it a diagonally oriented cross; with a cross pattée emerging from the bottom-outside of his eye, on his cheek, to begin with. A single eye appears within each of Gyro's active Steel Balls, staring outwards, also marked on the iris.

When Scan is active, the ability places eyes representing those of the Corpse in each of Gyro's active Steel Balls. These enhance Gyro's aptitude for the Spin, and his vision as surrogate eyes (enabling him to see remotely when Hot Pants blinds him with Cream Starter); as well as allowing him to see through people's bodies as though by X-ray, permitting him to calculate for better targeting.

Gyro relinquishes this ability when he gives his eye to Lucy Steel.

Scan2.png

Saint's Corpse

The complete guardian of the Corpse's eyes appears as a largely insentient, robotic humanoid figure. When Gyro departs this figure, it is divided, missing its left arm, leg, upper "eye" and the left plate of the two originally framing its head. A similar figure is seen once more when Gyro uses Scan, growing from his Steel Ball, in his battle against Ringo Roadagain.[27]

Ball Breaker

Main article: Ball Breaker

Ball Breaker manifests when Gyro finally achieves the "Golden Spin". The stand is a visualization of Spin energy unleashed from Gyro's steel balls, the sheer power of the technique manifesting itself into the form of a Stand.[28] Ball Breaker embodies a vast force capable of bypassing dimensional barriers.[29]

Compétences Personnelles

  • Horseriding: Gyro is an experienced and capable equestrian, competent enough to ride across many types of terrain and be a serious competitor in the Steel Ball Run race. His ability as a rider reached a new level after he entered the "true man's world" and he became able to instinctively choose the optimal path for his horse, an ability that seems on par with Diego Brando's own ability. His riding style can be summed up as aggressive; Gyro seeks to remain at the first place constantly, and takes dangerous shortcuts when he deems it necessary. When another rider challenges him, Gyro will actively try to get rid of him. His beloved horse is named Valkyrie. Gyro is also knowledgeable about horses, particularly Valkyrie, whose abilities and limits he can gauge at any moment.
  • Medicine, Surgery and Anatomy: Being trained as a surgeon by his father, Gregorio Zeppeli, Gyro is an accomplished surgeon, being able to make surgical operations on his own. This training also includes intimate knowledge of the human body Gyro uses in conjunction with the Spin in combat.
  • Intelligence: Gyro is an adept tactician, being able to hold his own against several Stand users and outsmarting them in several occasions. Gyro has been shown to be able to use his surroundings, or even the enemy's own power to his advantage. Gyro is a worldly individual, possessing a range of knowledge, including in tracking, opera, paleontology, and mathematics.

Major Battles

Relationships

Family

  • Gregorio Zeppeli: Gregorio Zeppeli was Gyro's father, and was the only person to ever command respect and obedience to him. Their relationship was probably cold due to Gregorio wishing to throw away sentimentality from his life, thus never had a compliment for his son, nor did he give him gifts and send him letters. However Gregorio was still Gyro's Spin teacher and direct superior as surgeon and executioner, thus has authority over him, although Gyro still disobeyed him behind his back.

Friends

  • Johnny Joestar: Gyro and Johnny are friends and partners in the Steel Ball Run and also master and apprentice in the art of the Spin. At first Johnny's determination got Gyro's interest, causing him to help him figuring out how to mount his Slow Dancer and start the race. After the first stage, Johnny wins the respect of Gyro, thus Gyro decides to teach him the Spin and they become partners for the rest of the race. As the stages progress their friendship grows. Despite their opposing personalities, causing regular clashes as to how to take on a difficult situation, Gyro and Johnny ultimately get along well and share many moments of friendship, culminating in them telling each personal secrets. Gyro notably likes to jest with Johnny and tells him bad jokes or miscellaneous songs that Johnny frequently pretends to appreciate. Due to their regular battles, Gyro and Johnny fight well together, and see each other as valuable allies. Their friendship is such that any one is ready to put himself in danger for the other, and Johnny notably abandoned his Corpse Parts to save Gyro's life, and has cried multiple times for him. When Gyro died, Johnny was completely devastated and Valentine exploited that bond to promise Johnny that another Gyro would walk this universe. Gyro's ghost salutes Johnny one last time and the latter would bring back his corpse to the Zeppeli family. Gyro's continuous support helped Johnny get out of his depression and enabled him to begin anew.
  • Lucy Steel: Gyro and Lucy became allies, but Gyro had a cold attitude toward her, refusing her request of helping her and her husband and instead suggesting that she risked her life trying to steal the Heart from Valentine. Gyro nonetheless acknowledged her bravery and resourcefulness and entrusted the Right Eye with her, later asking Wekapipo to save her from Valentine.
  • Wekapipo: Despite meeting in the Steel Ball Run race as long-standing enemies, Gyro and Wekapipo have a certain respect of each other's ability as both are proficient Spin users. Gyro revealed to Wekapipo that his sister was alive and well, having saved her life once. This revelation earned Gyro Wekapipo's help during the search for the Corpse Parts.
  • Mountain Tim: Gyro only saw Tim as a rival in the Steel Ball Run race, deriding his hat when he first saw Tim. However, both come to see as allies during the fights against the Boomboom Family and Oyecomova.

Rivaux

  • Diego Brando: Gyro and Diego are bitter rivals, as both repeatedly tried to outdo each other in the Steel Ball Run. Gyro thinks of Diego as the greatest threat for his goal of finishing first in the race and never ceases to antagonize or insult him. Diego won't hesitate to kill Gyro, but Gyro's moral code stops him from doing the same, and he only wishes to beat him up.
  • Hot Pants: As one of the competitors in the Steel Ball Run race and a rival in the search for the Saint Corpse Parts, Gyro views Hot Pants poorly. Their first meeting consisted of Hot Pants attacking Gyro for wrong reasons, and Gyro never let up his antagonistic behavior after that, regularly insulting the horse rider and once stealing her food. Later on, Gyro remains in the dark about Hot Pants' true identity, while Johnny was able to forge a more understanding and sympathetic relationship.
  • Sandman: Gyro and Sandman are rivals in the Steel Ball Run race, but initially act friendly with each other. Sandman bore no ill will against Gyro and repaid being made winner of the first stage in Gyro's stead with critical information during the fourth stage. However, the next time they meet, Sandman now worked with Valentine and tried to force Gyro and Johnny to give their Corpse Parts, going as far as trying to kill them. Nonetheless, Sandman was merely indifferent to what he saw as the struggle between white men.
  • Pocoloco: Gyro thinks of Pocoloco as a dangerous rival and mistakes the latter's luck as talent, while Pocoloco sees Gyro as a mere stepping stone in the race.

Ennemis

  • Boomboom Family: Gyro was initially cold and cautious to Andre Boomboom, and he was later proven right to act in such a way as Andre, along with his brother and father, attacked. Gyro thinks the whole family as idiots, though holds regard for their dangerous Stand abilities.
  • Oyecomova: Oyecomova was an Italian assassin who attempted kill Gyro, Tim and Johnny, only to be defeated by their respective Stand powers.
  • Ringo Roadagain: Ringo and Gyro were mortal enemies during their encounter. Ringo looked down on Gyro for being a "follower" but was impressed by his sudden growth, acknowledging his will during his last moments. Gyro returned the animosity and begrudging respect for the gunman.
  • Funny Valentine: Valentine was Gyro's enemy in the search to obtain the Corpse Parts.

Make your horse run with that form. If we can obtain that rotational energy from the horse… It can only be with the horse in the form of the golden rectangle. Make the horse run in a way the horse itself thinks is good… like how a horse feels happy naturally running on the grass… like you’re thanking the horse itself for being born and coming to be here in this world under the sky. That is the time it will make the Golden Rectangle. Then we’ll definitely be able to win.

Détails

  • Araki personally liked the Jonathan-Zeppeli relationship from Phantom Blood and wanted to retell it again for a longer coming-of-age story. He chose to make Johnny and Gyro around the same age so they could be less formal and more friendly than their original counterparts. Gyro's random jokes and Johnny's trivial use of his spinning nails were included to reflect this concept.
  • Gyro was able to see Stands before he achieved one of his own. He is the first and so far only Zeppeli to have a Stand.
  • In the Italian edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "J.Lo", in a reference to American-Latino singer Jennifer Lopez. This is also a slight pun on the fact that the pronunciations of "Gyro" and "J.Lo" in Japanese are almost identical.
  • In the French edition of SBR, Gyro's name is written as "Jayro".
  • Giro means "Rotation/Spin" in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
  • Gyro is currently the only Zeppeli killed by the main villain.
    • Although, in the Phantom Blood film, Will Zeppeli's death is changed and he is instead killed similarly to Dire; by Dio.
  • Gyro sometimes uses the words "Ora" and "Yare Yare Daze", similar to Jotaro Kujo.
