Personnalité

N'Doul est fidèle et terrorisé par DIO

N'Doul es un fier manieur de Stand qui est extrêmement loyal à DIO.

Se qualifiant de "grand N'Doul", N'Doul est un manieur de Stand très confiant et qui n'hésite pas à attaquer le Groupe Joestar dans son ensemble durant son combat contre eux. Même lorsque Jotaro parvient à s'approcher de lui, N'Doul met tout en jeu dans une seule glorieuse attaque au lieu de supplier Jotaro pour se sauver. Il semble avoir un certain honneur car, pour récompenser Jotaro de l'avoir vaincu, N'Doul accepte de divulguer quelques informations sur les ennemis à venir. N'Doul peut parfois être sujet à un excès de confiance et Mohammed Abdul a su l'attirer dans un piège avec une ruse telle que N'Doul a applaudie l'audace et la sagacité d'Abdul même s'ils étaient ennemis.

N'Doul dit qu'il possédait son Stand Geb depuis sa jeunesse et qu'il ne craignait rien ni personne grâce à ses pouvoir. N'Doul montre qu'il peut être méthodique et observative aux mouvements de ses ennemies. Il analyse les sons que produisents ses ennemis et peut déduire leurs mouvements ainsi.

Malgré toute sa fierté, N'Doul est le serviteur fidèle de DIO et mentionne qu'il ne vivait que pour le servir. Charmé par DIO dans tous ses aspects, mais aussi terrifié dans une certaine mesure, N'Doul est tellement loyal qu'il se suicide avec son Stand après avoir été vaincu par Jotaro afin qu'on ne puisse pas l'interroger sur le secret du Stand de DIO.

N'Doul is aware that DIO and him are evil people, yet he relishes in his evilness.

Abilities

Main article: Geb

Geb is a long-range Stand made of water N'Doul can remotely control and shape into anything to attack his foes from afar, notably as a sharp water stream able to slice flesh.

N'Doul can identify someone's footsteps from far away

Enhanced hearing: N'Doul is blind, but has phenomenally sharp hearing. He is able to determine the position of a fly simply by listening to it fly or hear faint sounds such as grains of sand bouncing against an obstacle hundreds of meters away from him. Using his cane, N'Doul can feel vibrations coming through the sand even kilometers away from his position, memorize's multiple people's whereabouts or identify someone by analyzing the sound of their footsteps.

History

Background

N'Doul was a blind man who, thanks to his Stand, never feared anything in his entire life, not even death. It allowed him to do anything he wanted and get away with it without consequences, as even the police wouldn't find out about his crimes, although no one ever saw his true value. One day, he encountered DIO and was charmed by his charisma, DIO being the only person to see his true value. N'Doul started to admire that man so much he saw him as his savior, later claiming that "even evil needs a savior".

Stardust Crusaders

In the anime adaptation N'Doul is shown killing a spy from the Speedwagon Foundation and brings his corpse to DIO for him to feed on.

N'Doul watching the heroes in the desert

N'Doul is introduced shortly after Iggy joins the Joestar Group as he spies on them from a nearby hill. After the group take supplies from a Speedwagon Foundation envoy, N'Doul attacks their helicopter offscreen and causes it to crash. He drowns one of the pilots and hides Geb in a canteen, having himself settled nearly four kilometers away. When the Joestar Group sees the helicopter and investigate it, they find the other pilot and give him the canteen, thinking he's thirsty. Geb then jumps out and decapitates the pilot. He attacks the Joestar group soon after, hiding in the sand. He takes Kakyoin by surprise and slashes his eyes. Kakyoin is taken out but Polnareff thankfully avoids being attacked as N'Doul is distracted by a ringing wristwatch and attacks it, allowing the heroes to know how he detects them.

Polnareff takes Kakyoin and tries to run to the safety of the group's car, with Geb sliding behind him. Geb only manages to cut Polnareff's leg but the Frenchman still reaches the car. However, N'Doul makes the car sink in the sand. Noticing that Iggy's nose allowed him to jump out of the car before the attack, N'Doul contemplates attacking the dog but decides otherwise when he sees that Iggy is indifferent to the group's fate. The heroes are stuck on the sand. Avdol tries to trick N'Doul into attacking an empty spot by throwing his bracelets in the sand. However, N'Doul sees through the trick at the last moment and manages to take out Avdol, only receiving a burn on the arm in return. To distract N'Doul, Jotaro runs toward Iggy to force him to participate in the fight. While Iggy tries to flee by creating a sand glider, Jotaro easily catches the glider and disappears from N'Doul's radar.

Jotaro defeats N'Doul

Midair, Jotaro has an easier time scanning the horizon but he's soon forced to take a single step to give The Fool more altitude. It tips N'Doul on Jotaro's current plan but Jotaro eventually sees N'Doul too. By blowing sand in the air, N'Doul is able to hear the grains hit the glider and he thus starts harrassing Jotaro and Iggy. Fearing for his life, the dog tries to go down and leave Jotaro at Geb's mercy but Jotaro then uses Star Platinum to throw Iggy and The Fool at N'Doul, catching him off-guard. N'Doul is forced to recall Geb to his side to protect himself and is also distracted by the dog and loses track of Jotaro. It is there that Jotaro gets to N'Doul in the commotion and defeats him. After being defeated, N'Doul killed himself to prevent his memories from being read by Hermit Purple, likely knowing that his own savior would kill him otherwise. Afterwards, in his dying breaths, he tells Jotaro of the other nine Stand users and of himself. Seeing his valor, Jotaro buries N'Doul's body in the desert.

  • Star Platinum is said to be the most powerful Stand. Once I kill Jotaro, Master DIO is going to be happy... For DIO, I will defeat Jotaro using my whole mind and soul.
  • Jotaro, I'm not afraid of dying.... because of my Stand, I've never feared death. I could beat anyone. I could commit any crime I wanted and the police wouldn't even find out... This is the first time that I hope from the bottom of my heart that I won't be killed by that man. He's strong, deep, great and beautiful... in this world, he was the first to acknowledge my value. I had always been waiting for him... I do not fear death but I don't want to be killed by that man... evil needs a savior as well...
  • Hmhmhmhm, ils ont fuit comme des vierges effarouchées. Courageux. Ils ont sans doute compris que le grand N'Doul se repérait en localisant les vibrations de l'air. Peu importe après tout. Personne ne peut être silencieux.
  • Je vais pouvoir les éliminer un par un... en prenant tout mon temps.
  • Hmhmhm, quand on songe à tous les égarés du désert qui seraient tellement heureux de trouver un peu d'eau, quelle ironie du sort. L'eau que je fais couler sera votre perte.
  • Tiens-toi prêt Jotaro, car tu vas mourir !
  • A chaque grain de sable qui heurte ton Stand, je te vois plus précisément. Je te vois, Jotaro, je te vois, et je ne te raterai pas ! Hahahahaha Star Platinum est aussi rapide que je suis silencieux... mais comme tu ne m'entends pas venir, ta vitesse, je la prend de vitesse !
  • Hahahaha ce chien veut se débarasser de Jotaro pour sauver sa peau. Il est beau, le meilleur ami de l'homme.
  • La mort ne me fait pas peur, au contraire c'est une vieille compagne. Depuis que je suis enfant, mon Stand me protège et il tue pour que je vive. J'ai croisé tellement de morts... il est bien temps que je les rejoigne. La parole que j'ai donnée et le serment que j'ai fait me le demandent. Je choisis de mourir parce que je suis un serviteur loyal et fidèle. Ma mort n'est pas un échec mais une réussite. Mon geste honore le seul être sur cette terre qui m'ait honoré, j'avais attendu toute ma vie pour le rencontrer et c'est à lui que je dédie l'éternité de ma mort. A cet homme, si puissant, si superbe et si bienveillant. Ma mort est belle, c'est un hommage à la seule personne au monde que j'ai peur de décevoir. J'étais aveugle et c'est lui qui m'a ouvert les yeux.
  • Je m'appelle N'Doul, et mon Stand vient de l'arcane symbole des tarots divinatoires des neuf dieux de la prospérité : le dieu Geb, dieu de la noble terre d'Egypte.
  • Tu sais, tu es le seul de mes adversaires dont j'aurais bien aimé connaitre le visage.

Video Games

JoJo RPG (SFC)

N'Doul appears in this game as a boss that the players face. The first few times, the player must select the "Idea!" option to retreat.

Unlike in the source material, N'Doul does not temporarily blind Kakyoin.

Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)

N'Doul was originally planned as a playable character in this game, as drafts exist that show how he would have fought, along with an Alessi form, and when hacking the game to choose N'Doul as a player character, he has several assets pertaining to this, such as an alternate color, animated life bar portraits, animated super move and VS screen portraits and a cut-in for the "Here Comes A New Challenger!" screen.  

Ultimately he was rendered an unplayable mini-boss, where the player had to cross a desert stage dodging his Stand until they find him at the end of the stage and attack him, one hit causing an instant K.O. This special stage must be played as Jotaro in Super Story and can be played with any of the main heroes in Oingo & Boingo's Gallery Mode. 

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)

N'Doul makes his first playable appearance in Eyes of Heaven. He was confirmed for the game alongside Iggy, Old Joseph and Dio Brando (Part 1).

N'Doul is of the Stand User Style, but more specifically is he a Mode User. The player can switch control between N'Doul and Geb to alter the character's abilities, with Stand Mode being the more powerful.

As N'Doul is blind, he cannot lock onto opponents. He also doesn't possess any particularly powerful combo attacks, and his Normal attack combo involves the use of his cane for a 2-hit melee attack that downs the opponent in order to give him some time to create distance. He cannot move faster than a slow walk, and does not have any air attacks to boost jumping distance, making platforming difficult. N'Doul does not possess any sort of dash, limiting his already-slow mobility, but can expend stamina to dodge forward like all other characters. In place of a dash, N'Doul sends Geb forward in the direction he's facing, up to four times. Doing this will allow skills to be performed wherever Geb is.

  • Style Action - Sitting Mode/Standing Mode: Control is switched between N'Doul and Geb. Geb has above-average mobility and jump height, can lock on, and deals the majority of N'Doul's damage. If Geb is attacked while under the player's control, N'Doul himself doesn't take any damage since Geb does not possess a solid form, rendering attacks dealt to the Stand futile. However, the use of Geb leaves N'Doul near defenseless if it is not nearby to defend his sitting body. When controlling Geb, the color of the player's screen converts to a deep, blurry blue, with the other combatants colored in pink unless they stop moving; even their footprints can be seen for a few seconds. This style of view is similar to N'Doul's visualized sonar ability seen in the anime. Performing any skills in Standing Mode with automatically place N'Doul in Sitting Mode; every single one of his skills is performed by Geb. N'Doul's stamina gauge slowly depletes while in Sitting Mode, automatically canceling control over the Stand if it empties. If an opponent gets within a certain distance of N'Doul while Sitting Mode, a panel showing his panicked face appears to warn the player.
  • Not another step closer...: Geb bursts upward into a pillar, sending opponents flying. If locked on, the Stand will instantly appear at the target's feet, regardless of distance, otherwise reappearing close to N'Doul in order to defend him. Afterwards, water will temporarily rain in a radius around the area the skill was performed, automatically highlighting any opponents, even if they are standing still.
  • No need to hold back!: Geb extends and frantically whips itself around over a wide area, dealing 8 hits to opponents in range and sending them flying on the final hit. The initiating button can be held to tack on 2 more hits.
  • I need to pull back!: N'Doul calls Geb back and surrounds himself with water at his feet. Any opponent that gets close will automatically be attacked by Geb, and the Stand will protect him from projectiles. Additional attacks may be inputted to allow Geb to continue from its automatic attack.
  • EX - No need to hold back!: The skill deals more damage and adds one more hit. Its range is increased as well.
  • EX - Not another step closer...: The skill activates quicker.
  • Dual Heat Attack - Shoot him!: Geb grabs the opponent and smashes them into the ground, before rapidly assaulting them from beneath the surface and launching them high up into the air. After a close-up of a smiling N'Doul, Geb makes its way to the opponent's landing spot and become a massive spike, completely skewering its target.
