Stardust Crusaders as depicted in Tohth
Thoth (トト神, Toto-shin) est le Stand de Boingo figurant dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders.
Il prend la forme d'une bande dessinée qui montre à son manieur le futur proche.
Thoth est un Stand matérialisé qui prend l'apparence d'une bande dessinée que même les êtres humains ordinaires peuvent voir et lire. Cette bande dessinée est appelée "Oingo Boingo Brothers Adventures" (ou Les Aventures des Frères Oingo Boingo) avec un style enfantin et surréaliste, aux dessins représentant le monde de façon tordue avec des personnages déformés et de nombreux symboles, et d'autres figures de style similaires.[1]
Il représente le dieu égyptien Thoth, le dieu de la connaissance, l'allusion reposant sur le fait que le Stand est un livre et qu'il donne à Boingo la connaissance du futur.[1]
La bande dessinée raconte l'avenir de manière enfantine avec des textes écrits avec enthousiasme et puérilité ponctuant l'histoire.[1] Même si le texte est écrit à la troisième personne, il est écrit dans le point de vue puérilement méchant de Boingo.
As a mere foretelling comic book, Tohth is not suited for direct combat at all but is a valuable tool if one wants to take the upper hand in any situation. Thanks to it, the Joestar Group was almost killed in Aswan by Oingo and in Cairo by Hol Horse.[2][3]
Tohth's ability is to predict the future.
The book is mostly filled with blank pages, but as time passes, more pages will fill up, predicting coming events up to several minutes ahead in the future.[1] Moreover, the predicted events will be relevant to the reader, thus an artist reading the book has read his own future death[1] while Oingo reads about his future attempts at assassinating the Joestar Group.[2] Boingo claims the events depicted in the comic-book are guaranteed to always come true;[4] in all its appearances, the predictions happen without fail, although sometimes in a roundabout way. For example, while it depicts Jotaro's head being split up by a blast,[4] it is Oingo, with the appearance of Jotaro, who is blasted apart by his bomb.[5]
However, Tohth only predicts key events without showing what happens between them or significant details. Because the drawings are incomplete and the narration texts misleading, everything Tohth predicts is subject to interpretation. For instance, Tohth stated that Hol Horse would kick a woman, after which she would be thankful and give him all her jewelry, leaving out the fact that Horse would do so to save her from being stung by a poisonous scorpion.[6] Furthermore, it only predicts up to several minutes in the future meaning that an action that seems beneficial may have consequences later. Because of the comic-book, Oingo mugged a man he thought was easy prey,[2] but the man later came back with several thugs to beat him up.[5] This makes Tohth incredibly difficult to use.
If someone were to not act as the comic-book predicted, even by accident, such as when Hol Horse shot two minutes ahead without realizing it,[3] Boingo claims that they would be punished and events would conspire to make the predictions true at the expense of the offender.[7] Thus Hol Horse was shot by his own bullets through the page depicting Jotaro being riddled with bullets, making the predictions true in a way while almost killing Hol Horse.[3]
