Cette saleté de primate... ce n'est pas un singe ordinaire.
Jotaro Kujo sur Forever, Chapter 131

Forever (フォーエバー, Fōebā) est un antagoniste mineur figurant dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, spécifiquement l'arc narratif "Strength".

Forever est un Orang-outan malveillant au service de DIO Il navigue dans un cargo en mer de Chine et croise le chemin du Groupe Joestar et tente de les assassiner. Son navire est possédé par son Stand: Strength.

Apparence

Mis à part les deux rayures ou cicatrices de chaque côté de sa tête, il n'y a pas grand-chose à dire sur l'apparence de Forever. Il ressemble à un orang-outan échevelé ordinaire. Il porte cependant un uniforme de capitaine de navire après avoir révélé son Stand. Comme le dit Kakyoin, il a la force de cinq hommes, ce qui lui permet d'arracher facilement le bras d'une personne. Contrairement à la plupart des orangs-outans mâles, il ne semble pas avoir de coussinets sur les joues ou de poche sur la gorge. Son personnage est vraisemblablement inspirée du superèorang-outan intelligent mais malveillant du film, Link.[2]

Forever fume des cigarettes et la pipe.

Personnalité

Un singe vraiment intelligent, mais arrogant et pervers

Forever agit parfois comme un être humain. Il semble être attiré par les femmes humaines - il regarde des magazines pornographiques et semble convoiter Anne. Il fume également des cigarettes et peut couper ses propres pommes, faisant preuve d'une intelligence inhabituellement élevée pour un orang-outan. De plus, il peut lire et résoudre rapidement des puzzle, comme un Rubik's cube.

Son intelligence quasi-humaine dénote avec sa nature bestiale et brutale: il tend à jouer avec ses victimes et confiant en sa capacité, mais si son fort sentiment de fierté est blessé, il perd son calme et devient rapidement violent. Cependant, lorsque Forever est acculé, il perd toute confiance et implore Jotaro d'avoir de la pitié en montrant son ventre, ce qui est un signe de soumission parmi les orang-outans.

Like many other Stand Users from Stardust Crusaders, Forever is a henchman of DIO who has been ordered to kill Jotaro and his friends before they reach Egypt, where DIO lurks.

Abilities

Stand

Main article: Strength

Forever's Stand is Strength, sharing its name with the tarot card. In its only display, it transforms a ruined yacht into a massive oil freighter, which the ape can then control at his leisure.

History

Stardust Crusaders

File:Forevercageanime.jpg
Pretending to be an ordinary orangutan

Forever is among the seven Stand Users deployed by Enya the Hag to assassinate the Joestar Group

Forever confronts Jotaro and company at sea between China and Singapore on their way to Egypt, right after the confrontation with the Impostor Captain Tennille. Jotaro, his comrades, and Captain Tennille's seamen approach a large oil carrier and get aboard, only to find out that nobody is on the deck nor in the cabins. The only living being they meet is Forever, a seemingly normal orangutan, lying in his cage. After the death of one of the seamen, caused by the mysterious activation of a mechanical hook, JoJo's group begins to suspect the presence of a Stand user.

Attracted to Anne, Forever leaves his cage, kills all of the remaining seamen and ambushes the girl in the shower. He is stopped by Jotaro, only to quickly regain control of the situation by exploiting the fact that Jotaro and the others couldn't imagine the enemy Stand to be the entire ship. At the same time, he binds the whole Joestar Group, slowly crushing them in the metal of the ship. Immobilized by the evil primate, Jotaro manages to provoke his opponent by hitting him with a button from his uniform, hurting his pride and getting him in the range of his Star Finger.

Forever defeated

Caught by surprise by the now unbound Jotaro, Forever begs for mercy. Jotaro refuses the ape's proposal, saying that Forever has rejected the rules of the animal world, becoming just as corrupt as a human being, and kills him with a barrage of Star Platinum's punches. With Forever's death, the ship collapses, returning to the original wrecked boat it was and the heroes are free to continue their journey.

In the OVA adaptation, Jotaro remains incapacitated during the fight against Forever. Instead, Polnareff returns after Avdol left him for dead, and proceeds to slice Forever in half with Silver Chariot.

Video Games

JoJo RPG (SFC)

The events from Strength occur in a different way. The Stand takes the form of a building instead of a boat, and the battle takes place in Japan instead of Singapore in comparison to the original story.

Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)

Forever appears as a mini-game boss during the SUPER STORY (featured only on home console releases).

His mini-game consists of the player shooting whenever Forever appears on the screen (the shots will represent Star Platinum's Star Finger). For defense, Forever will always throw random stuff at the player, such as fans, pipes or rocks. Anne, the runaway girl, also appears randomly on the screen; if the player hits her by accident, the life bar will be decreased.

Stardust Shooters (Android/iOS)

Both Forever and Strength appear as two of the several characters who possess a Metal Striker in the game. Their FINISH MOVE makes the fan which was on the ship fly and cut the opponent.

Trivia

Forever's name in Heritage
  • Forever was not given a proper name until several years after Part 3's publication, where it was revealed in the PlayStation port of Heritage for the Future and eventually documented in JOJO A-GO!GO!. The name is derived from a pun as the Japanese spelling for Orangutan (オランウータン, Oranūtan) encompasses the Japanese spelling for Wu-Tang (ウータン, Ūtan).
  • Forever's lustful gaze towards the showering Anne may also be a callback to a similar scene in the 1986 horror film Link, where an intelligent chimpanezee (played by an orangutan) stalks the female protagonist as she gets undressed for a bath.
  • In the anime, he shares the same voice actor as Shigekiyo Yangu.
  • The model featured on the Playboy magazine he looks at is Tawnni Cable.
  • Forever is the first animal Stand user to appear in the series.
