“

Je me réveille une fois tous les deux mille ans, mais j'ignorais qu'un humain comme lui avait vu le jour. Il faut croire que les humains évoluent eux aussi.

”

—Santana, Chapter 60: The Pillar Man, Santana, Part 7

Personnalité

Santana est, comme les autres Hommes du Pilier, un individu violent et sûr de sa supériorité sur les humains. Comme les autres Hommes du Pilier, il se révèle être très intelligent. Par exemple, il est capable de démonter des armes bien en avance sur son temps et d'apprendre d'autres langues seulement en passant quelques moments à les observer.

Santana a une attitude détachée envers tout ce qui l'entoure, ne se souciant pas des humains et s'échappant calmement de sa prison. Quand il est exposé à l'Onde de Joseph pour la première fois, Santana reste imperturbable et expérimente un peu avec l'Onde. Même exposé au soleil, Santana resta calme et utilisa Stroheim comme bouclier contre le soleil.

Comme tous les hommes du pilier, Santana méprise les humains, les qualifiant régulièrement d'êtres primitifs et étant même surpris qu'ils puissent évoluer. Lorsque Joseph l'exaspéra avec ses singeries, il perdit son calme et commença à l'insulter.

Pouvoir et Compétences

En tant qu'homme du pilier, Santana est capable d'exécuter les capacités les plus élémentaires d'un homme du pilier classique. Bien que beaucoup plus jeune et moins expérimenté, Santana a démontré plusieurs techniques similaires à celles utilisées par ceux du groupe de Cars, mais aussi ses propres techniques.

Sens surhumains Link to this section

En tant qu'être avancé, les sens de Santana sont beaucoup plus sensibles que ceux d'un humain. Lorsqu'il émerge de son pilier, il a été vu en train d'utiliser son nez pour renifler et analyser les environs.

Intelligence Surhumaine Link to this section

Santana possède une d'intelligence supérieure et est capable de comprendre la plupart des choses simplement en les étudiant pendant un bref instant. En peu de temps, Santana peut rapidement apprendre et parler couramment n'importe quelle langue, et a pu démonter une arme presque instantanément, un exploit qui aurait pris plusieurs heures à un soldat entraîné.

Manipulation Corporelle Link to this section

Comme avec tous les hommes du pilier, Santana est capable de manipuler librement la structure de son corps. Cela lui permet de s'insérer dans de petits espaces tels qu'une grille d'aération ou même les orifices d'un corps humain et ainsi les contrôler de l'intérieur. Parce que les propriétés de son corps ressemblent beaucoup au «caoutchouc» comme le dit Joseph, son corps, y compris les zones vitales typiquement humaines telles que ses yeux ou l'aine, peuvent absorber les attaques. Il peut librement passer à travers les objets, ainsi que projeter violemment des objets qu'il absorbé comme des balles.

Absorption Link to this section

Les cellules qui constituent le corps de Santana libèrent un acide digestif puissant qui décompose la matière organique au contact physique. Ce phénomène peut donner l'impression que Santana absorbe sa victime dans son corps. Santana a également montré cette capacité en se forçant dans le corps d'une personne et en contrôlant ses mouvement tout en la consommant progressivement de l'intérieur. Seuls ceux qui utilisent l'Onde sont immunisés car les cellules reconnaissent la menace que l'énergie de l'Onde représente. En raison de la toxine psychoactive produite par les cellules de l'homme du pilier au cours de ce processus, les victimes affectées par Santana disent qu'ils ressentent une sensation merveilleuse.

Ribs Blades (Côtes ostensibles)(リブス・ブレード Ribusu Burēdo) Link to this section

Aussi nommées Côtes ostensibles (露骨な肋骨, Rokotsu na Rokkotsu), cette technique permet à Santana de projeter ses côtes en dehors de son corps pour empaler des ennemis proches. Chacune d'elles est capable de pivoter et de se mouvoir dans n'importe quelle direction. Ayant une longueur maximale de 132 cm et une pression maximale de 825 kg/cm², Santana peut les utiliser pour écraser ou empaler ses adversaires.

Meat Invade Link to this section

Aussi appelé les Lambeaux de Chair Odieux (憎き肉片, Nikku ki Niku-hen). En plus de la méthode standard d'absorption des humains ou des Vampires avec son corps, Santana peut contrôler à distance des morceaux de sa chair pour qu'elles se jettent sur un ennemi et sucent son sang.

Histoire

Background

Santana resting in the pillar

Santana had originally lived in Mexico with the other Pillar Men. After Kars' rampage and slaughter of the Pillar Man race, the child Santana, along with Wamuu, was adopted and trained by Kars and Esidisi. He was later left behind in Mexico by Kars, who deemed him only useful as a guard dog, while he and the others left for the old world to find a flawless Red Stone of Aja. As a result, Santana would be unaware of the energy called Ripple which the other Pillar Men learned and developed defenses against. Eventually, claiming that it was because he used too much power, Santana entered a 2000 year-long rest by fusing himself into a pillar within a temple that was one of the proponents for Kars' Stone Mask project.

Battle Tendency

Santana absorbing a vampire

Santana is discovered in a Mexican pyramid in 1938 by an expedition team led by Robert E. O. Speedwagon that is later betrayed by Straizo. However, Straizo notices that Santana had been absorbing the spilled blood and to prevent Santana from awakening, dumps the bodies of the men he attacked into a nearby river. Santana is then excavated and studied by a team of Nazis in an underground base. The team, led by Major Rudol von Stroheim, conducts live human experiments with the Stone Mask in order to try to strengthen the Nazi Army. The blood from multiple prisoners causes the Pillar Man to awaken, Stroheim naming the being "Santana" while he and the rest observe him. When one of the vampires created is brought into the chamber, Santana allows the creature to attack so he could absorb the vampire and gain nourishment. Despite the Nazi's initial opinion that he was a dim-witted savage rather than an Übermensch, Santana catches everyone off guard further by uttering Stroheim's full name once he finished his meal.

Santana, sensing hostility within the iron, fortified room, breaks many of his own bones in order to squeeze himself into the 4-by-20 cm ventilation outlet of the room, doing so at a speed faster than human eyes can perceive. By the time Stroheim realized what occurred, Santana reached the observation room while entering the body of a German who was too close to the vent. After absorbing the host and getting shot at, Santana fires the bullets inside his body from his fingertips, killing almost everyone in the room. Joseph Joestar (disguised as a Nazi) protects Speedwagon, Stroheim, and himself from Santana's attack by channeling the Ripple into Stroheim's hair and using it to shield them.

Santana fights against Joseph

Santana kept under watch in the Speedwagon Foundation.

Toying with the Pillar Man, Joseph assumed Santana killed the Nazis out of self-defense before being attacked. Santana, expressing annoyance at Joseph's antics, realized he could not absorb the human and attempted to do the same with Speedwagon out of assessment. This enrages Joseph as both learn that ripple was preventing Santana's cells from digesting him. Using this to his advantage, Joseph allows himself to be absorbed by Santana and then unleashes the ripple from the inside, splitting the Pillar Man in half. As Santana's body begins to regenerate, his torso is dragged by Joseph to be exposed to sunlight and turn into stone again. After a struggle involving Stroheim sacrificing one of his legs, the door to the outside is open and a fully regenerated Santana is exposed to the light. But the Pillar man quickly forces himself into Stroheim's body in order to escape the sun while attempting to hide in a well, forcing the Nazi to sacrifice himself to leave Santana into the open.

Desperate, Santana charges Joseph as the two go flying down the well. Santana realizes too late that Joseph allowed him to enter the well as it was exposed to the sun's reflection, turning the Pillar Man back to stone with some damage caused by the fall. Santana's remains were later taken to the Washington branch of Speedwagon Foundation, the Pillar Man kept immobile by UV lights and revealed to still be alive. Santana's ultimate fate is never addressed.

Jeux Vidéo

Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden (NES)

Santana appears as a Boss in Area 4. The player faces him in a one-on-one battle using only Joseph Joestar. 

Due to the game's release date, Part 2 had only reached prior to Esidisi's battle against Joseph. Thus, only Santana and Esidisi appear as the enemies faced during the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part of the game, instead of Kars or Wamuu.

All Star Battle (PS3)

Santana is briefly mentioned during the dialogue in Part 2's Story Mode. For the Western version of the game, he was renamed "Santviento" to match the Crunchyroll subs. Initially, his name was "San Tan" in some press releases.

Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)

Santana is one of the several Part 2 characters who possesses a Metal Striker for the game. His Finish move has him fire bullets from his fingertips at the defeated opponent (similar to his retaliation against the Nazis), and his second special ability allows him to counterattack any Metal Striker enemy who attacks him by using his Rib Blades.

Diamond Records (Android/iOS)

Santana

Santana appears in Diamond Records as a playable character in both the Action Battle and Tactical Battle game modes. He has a few unlockable statues between the 'Courage' and 'Solitary' types, ranging from 3 stars to 6 stars Santana's moveset in both game modes is comprised of various attacks inspired by the anime using his body manipulation abilities. As a pillar man, Santana constantly regenerates health, but has a weakness to attacks from ripple users. Playing as him will force any outdoor stages to take place at night. Unlike most characters, Santana has multiple unlockable blue skills that you can choose between.

MovelistStatuesVideos

Moveset

Santana's basic attack string is a combination of up to five various attacks comprising of different kicks and hand strikes. In Tactical Battle, this is cut down to only three hits.

Santana slowly loads his leg so that he may attack his opponent with a strong high kick.

Santana strikes his opponent with a stretched index finger. (Unlockable)

Santana fires a barrage bullets out of his fingers like a machine gun, acting as a multi hit ranged attack. (Unlockable)

Santana turns around swiftly and strikes his opponents with his signature Rib Blades.

(Counter) If Santana is hit while this skill is active, he will counter the opponent's attack by using his Rib Blades from the front of his body to catch the opponent in their tracks. (Unlockable)

Santana spins around and does a high heel kick from the top down. When his foot lands he expands his flesh to cover a bigger area on the ground that causes a few extra hits of damage on opponents caught nearby. This attack replaces SP Skill 1 in Santana's 3 star statue.

Santana invades an opponent's body using Meat Invade and deals multiple hits of damage while also healing himself by absorbing the opponent's health.

Trivia

• By appearing on the 1988's NES game Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden, Santana is the first JoJo antagonist to ever appear in a game, alongside Esidisi. Unlike Dio Brando, who only made his game debut in 1993, in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SNES).
• Despite Santana's superhuman intellect, it took him longer than it did to his brethren to become perfectly fluent in modern language, suggesting that his own intellect, while superior to humans, was inferior to older Pillar Men.
