Cette chose possède un pouvoir invisible ! Son stand lui permet de manipuler l'air à sa guise !

Stray Cat (ストレイ・キャット (猫草), Sutorei Kyatto) est un hybride de Stand-chat-plante figurant dans la quatrième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. Le chat Tama revient à la vie en tant que plante douée d'intelligence et d'un pouvoir Stand.

Stray Cat peut manipuler l'air autour de lui et tirer des bulles d'air mortelles.

Apparence

Stray Cat est un Stand lié à une plante. Cette plante a une tige épaisse qui sert de corps et de grandes feuilles qui fonctionnent comme des pattes. Ses feuilles sont assez habiles pour saisir des objets. Stray Cat attend qu'une cible potentielle soit à portée, puis l'attrape soudainement comme un chat normal. Deux pétales avec un motif de longues taches sombres sur eux sont enveloppés pour créer une silhouette de tête de chat pour le visage. La plante a des yeux qui peuvent encore bouger et regarder les choses, mais elle n'a plus la vision nocturne d'un chat normal. Derrière ses globes oculaires se trouvent des "moustaches" qui se recroquevillent lorsque Stray Cat utilise ses pouvoirs.

Anatomie de Stray Cat
Si on gratte derrière les "oreilles" de la planete (le bout des pétales), elles s'agitent comme celles d'un chat. En tant que chat, son front était étroit mais il est maintenant large. Il a deux petits trous qui lui servent de narines, ce qui permet à Stray Cat de respirer l'air pour sentir les choses autour de lui. Sous son nez se trouve une bouche qu'il utilise pour manger, boire, lécher et faire de nombreux bruits de chats.

Bien qu'il ne possède plus de colonne vertébrale ou d'autres os, il réagit toujours aux caresses dans la région médiane de sa tige. Cependant, frotter son «estomac» pendant qu'il se nourrit le fera vomir.

Chaque fois que Stray Cat se souvient qu'il avait une queue, ses feuilles postérieures commencent à se balancer inconsciemment. Les racines de Stray Cat existent uniquement pour soutenir son corps et ne fonctionnent pas comme avec une plante normale, c'est à dire qu'ils n'extraient pas les nutriments ou l'eau du sol. Au lieu de cela, ses excréments sont libérés directement dans le sol et attirent les insectes vers lui.

Son faciès change de design pour devenir plus vicieux quand il est réintroduit dans le Chapitre 423 en raison de sa croissance en tant que plante. En grandissant, les pétales se chevauchent désormais, ce qui lui donne une tête plus ronde et les moustaches/pistils dépassent de sa tête. Les zones supérieures des pétales et des feuilles ont également sont tachetés avec des tache sombres, plus petites, et incorporant un cercle au centre.

Dans le manga couleur, Stray Cat a des pétales roses. Dans l'anime, il a des pétales grises.

Personnalité

Comme Stray Cat est plus ou moins une réincarnation du chat Tama, il a une personnalité typique d'un chat.

Comme tous les chats, Stray Cat a un instinct de chasseur et on le voit chasser des insectes, des morceaux de papier jetés par terre et des oiseaux. Il est fier de son ancienne fourrure et de sa queue. Il adore courir et sauter mais ne peut pas le faire en tant que plante.[1] Stray Cat aime le thon, les crevettes, se mettre la tête dans des sacs en papier, regarder la télévision et être félicité. Comme tous les chats, il n'aime pas le contact visuel direct, avoir le nez bouché, la fumée de cigarette, le wasabi, les oranges et le froid.[2]

D'abord ignorant qu'il est une plante, il apprend vite sa situation difficile et déteste Shinobu Kawajiri pour cela.

Stray Cat est vindicatif et agressif, et l'acquisition de son pouvoir le rend confiant dans sa capacité à combattre n'importe qui.[3] Il considère quiconque l'entrave comme un ennemi et cherchera à les éliminer avec ses bulles, que ce soit Yoshikage Kira protégeant Shinobu de lui,[4] Hayato Kawajiri essayant de fermer les volets alors qu'il veut de la lumière,[5] o quiconque fait mine de l'attaquer. Kira va d'ailleur exploiter cette aggressivité défensive contre Josuke Higashikata.[6]Stray Cat est également vicieux, comme on le voit quand il tente de tuer Kira en poussant une bulle dans les veines de Kira et son cœur pour lui donner une crise cardiaque.[4] Il a une profonde rancune contre Shinobu, qui l'a frappé avec un balai[1] et l'attaquera à vue.[3]

Stray Cat a conservé sa paresse naturelle de chat. Pour l'hiver, il est dit que Stray Cat veut rester actif mais qu'il veut aussi dormir sous un kotatsu.[5]

Pouvoirs

Despite its simplicity, Stray Cat's air power is a surprisingly deadly ability. His cat-like nature makes him an unpredictable and ferocious Stand user in combat, but he is limited by his plant-like body.

Reincarnation

The first witnessed ability of Stray Cat is to resurrect its former user, Tama the cat, into a plant after he dies. Stray Cat keeps his personality and memories but now has the body and needs of a flower.

Hybride Plante-chat

Stray Cat, being a sentient flower, possesses cat-like and plant-like properties. He still has eyes, a nose, and a mouth to examine his surroundings with. Moreover, his activity and power is directly linked to sunlight, as he depends on photosynthesis. Despite this, he still has a need to breathe in oxygen in order to survive, rather than completely relying on this photosynthesis. In direct illumination he is quite powerful, but conversely is very weak at night.[2] When completely without light, the Stand enters a dormant state and can be easily subdued.[5]

Aérokinésie

Stray Cat has the ability to control the air near him[4] with his whiskers.[2]

Stray Cat's main usage of this ability is to make invisible bubbles of compressed air and shoot them toward his targets, but can also shield himself from attacks. It instinctively used this ability to block the explosion of Killer Queen's bomb.[3] He is initially shown to curl up his petals to do so, but that quirk disappears afterward.[4]

The bubbles are durable enough to block Killer Queen's kick[4] and even Crazy Diamond's punches.[6] When they are shot, they have enough force to severely wound somebody or kill them at point-blank range.[7] If he feels particularly vicious, he can even force a small bubble inside one's bloodstream and try to cause an embolism. When they hit, a cat's pawprint is visible inside the impact zone. They are also invisible and can be remotely burst by Stray Cat if it wishes.[4] However, the bubbles can be popped like a balloon.[5]

Stray Cat is also capable of morphing the air bubbles he creates into different shapes as well. He binds Hayato's neck and arms in mid-air by compressing his air bubbles to be shaped like cuffs.[5]

Histoire

Le Chat qui Aimait Yoshikage Kira

A cat turned into a plant

Stray Cat is the Stand of Tama, activating after its User's death. Upon reincarnating as a plant, Stray Cat is confused by his new nature as a sentient plant but otherwise isn't really disturbed. When Shinobu Kawajiri wanders near him, Stray Cat remembers that she tried to beat him with a broom and instinctively shoots a bubble at Shinobu's toenail, ripping it off. Shinobu is unaware of what caused this and retreats to her home. Satisfied, Stray Cat kills a bird with his bubble and licks its blood.

However, Yoshikage Kira has witnessed the attack. Perplexed about what to do with Stray Cat, he tests the plant's aggressivity. Shinobu comes back, warning her husband that the place is cursed; forcing Kira to try to kill the plant before she can see it and raise suspicion. Likewise, Stray Cat sees Shinobu and prepares to attack. Kira summons Killer Queen, turns a nearby pebble into a bomb, and rolls it towards Stray Cat. However, the plant creates a void around it, preventing Kira from igniting the pebble. Shinobu approaches, allowing Stray Cat to shoot a bubble straight at her chest, taking her out.

Stray Cat briefly fights Kira

Kira is now determined to protect Shinobu and kill Stray Cat. The plant shoots a couple of bubbles that Killer Queen deflects. When Killer Queen tries to stomp the plant, he creates a bubble that makes Killer Queen's foot slide to the side. Stray Cat then shoots a slow bubble that explodes near the garden's cacti, propelling thorns at Shinobu. Kira manages to protect her face. Although Kira is confident that he can defeat the plant after working out his power, he's taken by surprise when Stray Cat makes two bubbles enter his vein through a wound, threatening to cause an embolism. Kira is forced to blast part of his arm to make the bubbles exit his body. Stray Cat prepares his next attack, but then Kira throws a golf ball at the plant, distracting it. The fight ends in a draw.

Kira pots Stray Cat and hides him in the attic. Eventually, Hayato Kawajiri, who has been investigating his father, sneaks into the attic. When the boy opens the window, the light reinvigorates the plant. As Kira comes back home, Hayato tries to erase his traces and close the window. However, Stray Cat shoots several bubbles to bind him and prevent him from doing so. Hayato quickly understands the nature of the attack and pops the bubbles so that the leaking air closes the window. Hayato then scatters cat food to frame Stray Cat for the noise he caused. Kira checks on the attic and is fooled.

Another One Bites the Dust

Hayato uses Stray Cat

During the arc, Hayato Kawajiri becomes the host of Bites the Dust, an ability that kills anyone who interrogates Hayato about Kira and rewinds time to one hour before.

Hayato takes Stray Cat from the attic and hides him in his backpack. When Kira finally approaches Hayato to confront him, the boy opens his backpack. The furious cat-plant shoots an air bullet at Kira, hitting him in the chest. However, Kira is protected by his watch. Kira still ends up revealing his name in public and is overheard by Josuke Higashikata and Okuyasu Nijimura.

Crazy Diamond Is Unbreakable

Kira is forced to cancel Bites the Dust and must fight the two students. He takes the plant and stores him inside of Killer Queen's belly, subsequently referring to him by his Stand's name. In there, Stray Cat keeps shooting air bubbles at those he sees, which Killer Queen turns into flying, invisible air bombs. This fearsome combination inflicts a mortal wound on Okuyasu, which Josuke still heals. Stray Cat continues shooting bubbles for Kira's use during most of the battle. Eventually, Josuke is able to face Kira in a close quarter fight. While Crazy Diamond is definitely stronger than Killer Queen, Stray Cat protects himself (and thus Killer Queen and Kira) from Crazy Diamond's punch with bubbles, allowing Kira to create another bomb while Josuke is too wounded to move. However, Okuyasu then intervenes. He erases the air bomb and teleports Stray Cat to his hand with The Hand, depriving Kira of his ally.

After Kira's death, Stray Cat goes to live with Okuyasu's father, and is shown to get along well with his new owner.

Détails

  • Araki states he based Stray Cat/Tama off of his grandfather's cat named Chako. As a child, they both doted on it but Chako scratched Araki when he ignored it one day. He's since been suspicious of cats as a result.[8]
  • Oddly enough, Hayato Kawajiri seems to be unusually aware of Stray Cat's air bubble bullets, more so than other characters.
