Je suis Devo le Maudit. Et mon Stand représente "le Diable" des arcanes majeurs ... (おれの名は呪いのデーボ⋯スタンドは「悪魔(デビル)のカード」の暗示⋯)
—Devo the Cursed, Chapter 133: Devil, Part 1

Devo (デーボ, Dēbo), aussi connu sous le nom de Devo le Maudit ((のろ)いのデーボ, Noroi no Dēbo), est un antagoniste mineur figurant dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders, spécifiquement dans l'arc narratif "Devil".

Devo est un shaman/assassin Amérindien au service de DIO. Il embusque Jean Pierre Polnareff dans la chambre d'hôtel de ce dernier à Singapour. C'est un manieur de Stand et manie Ebony Devil.

Apparence

Devo est un grand Amérindien[1] avec un corps musclée, et de long cheveux sombre. Sa face est son corps sont couverts de nombreuses cicatrices, expliquée par la façon dont Devo laisse ses cibles le blesser pour déclencher le pouvoir de son Stand et qu'il haïsse la cible du mieux qu'il peut..

Devo porte un grand manteau ouvert avec des manches déchirées et rien en dessous. Il a des gants qui couvrent son avant-bras, un jean et des chaussures. Dans l'anime, le manteau de Devo sont décorés de chaque côté d'un motif basé sur les motifs couramment observés sur les vêtements amérindiens.

Personnalité

Au début, Polnareff pense que Devo est un idiot puisqu'il s'est caché dans le frigo de sa chambre et a laissé toutes les boissons sur ledit frigo, ruinant son plan. Mais en fait, Devo a fait semblant d'être imprudent pour se faire prendre exprès par Polnareff et se faire blesser par son Stand. Il est également extrêmement sadomasochiste, prenant les coups avec une joie extatique, même si ses blessures lui permettent de haïr sa victime et de vouloir les tuer de manière brutale. Par le biais de son contrôle de sa poupée, il devient encore plus psychotique et pervers.

Pouvoirs

Stand

Main article: Ebony Devil

Le Stand de Devo est Ebony Devil, qui convertit la haime de Devo en pouvoir pour animer des objets, notamment une poupée, pour une attaque indirecte.

Selon Devo, son Stand représente la carte de tarot du diable, symbolisant la confusion et la malchance. Tous ceux que Devo a ciblé ont eu la malchance d'être "maudits" par lui et tués sans même savoir pourquoi; ce qui est sensé être dû à une malédiction de Devo. De même, Devo surprend Polnareff parce qu'il accepte d'être blessé et sa manière d'attaquer n'est pas évidente.

The Devil card can indicate any sort of addiction or obsession, something with which we can tend to get "carried away" to the point of losing control over our actions. In other words, it signifies self-bondage to an idea or belief which is preventing a person from growing or being healthy. Should "The Devil" represent a person, it will most likely be someone addicted to money and power; one who is persuasive, aggressive, and controlling. Devo fits exactly in this description: He has killed numerous people just for money and persuaded every one of them to attack him before murdering them.

Histoire

Background

Prior to allying with DIO, Devo was already known all over the world as a lethal assassin hired by numerous figures in the criminal underworld. Having met Devo at the time, explaining Devo's method of assassinating his targets by having them make the first move, Muhammad Avdol explains no person who seen Devo's Stand lived to tell about it. This leads many ordinary people to believe that Devo curses his victims to suffer a horrific death, hence his moniker.

Devo is among the seven Stand Users whom Enya the Hag has sent to Asia to stop the Joestar Group.

Stardust Crusaders

Devo laughing manically while "cursing" Polnareff.

Arriving in Singapore ahead of the Joestar Group, Devo hid away within a fridge in the hotel room that Jean Pierre Polnareff was in. When Polnareff noticed the removed alcoholic beverages, he deduced Devo's presence and forced the assassin to reveal himself. Devo did just that, activating his Stand and having Silver Chariot land the first blow at the cost of his left eye. In horrific pain as his Stand quickly possessed a doll unseen, Devo sadistically curses Polnareff to suffer an agonizing death before falling off from the balcony. But in reality, Devo escaped to the bathroom on one of the lower floors and remained in a stall to act out his curse through his Stand-possessed doll.

Devo's final moments

Ebony Devil manages to tie Polnareff under the bed so that Silver Chariot would lack its human's direct eyesight, while killing a hotel employee. The doll proceeds to spill the alcohol over the floor and on Polnareff with the intent to use a malfunctioning hair dryer to either burn the Frenchman or electrocute him. However, Polnareff shattered a mirror during the fight and the reflection of its fragments to finally counterattack Devo's Stand with a clear view. Once freed, Polnareff asks for information about J. Geil, but Devo refuses to talk and dies of horrific mutilation as Polnareff brutally destroys Ebony Devil and its vessel.

Video Games

JoJo RPG (SFC)

Devo is one of the many bosses featured in the game. In the game, Devo actually attacks the group in India although he still ambushes them in a hotel.

The group encounters Devo when they enter their hotel room and Devo flies after a brief battle declaring that his grudge will fuel Ebony Devil, much like the original manga. This fight directly features Devo and Ebony Devil. Afterward, the group is attacked by Ebony Devil possessing the doll for a second fight and the doll will eventually flee. However, the group will be attacked a third time and defeat Ebony Devil for good.

Afterward, the group can go check the bathroom and take the Roof Key from Devo's corpse.

Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade)

Devo (called D'Bo in the English version) functions mostly the same as he did within the manga. He ambushes the Joestar party during their stay in Singapore by hiding in their refrigerator, but he is defeated in the storylines of all the main characters.

Storyline

Devo also has his own storyline, in which he is promised one-hundred million dollars by DIO for the defeat of Jotaro and his companions. He kills one hero after another until he finally slays Jotaro himself.

Devo, wanting to collect his grand reward, travels to Dio's mansion. There he meets Vanilla Ice, who proceeds to question the Shaman on his exploits. Devo, who has become smug with all of his recent success, becomes annoyed with Ice and threatens to kill him if he does not take him to DIO. Devo kills Ice in the resulting battle.

Afterward, DIO is so impressed with Devo's power that he offers him even more money, in exchange for the Shaman's permanent servitude. Devo refuses the vampire's offer and kills him, and becomes the most widely respected (and feared) kingpin in the underworld afterward.

Strategy

Devo is one of the most unique characters in the game. While most characters with an Active Stand have their guardian immobilized in front of them, Devo's doll is allowed to roam freely across the battlefield when activated and lays dormant on the ground when it is not.

Aside from directly controlling his Stand, Devo can also order Ebony Devil to lunge at his opponent once, leaving him free to attack with his main body while they are distracted. This allows clever players to lure their opponents between Devo and Ebony Devil, and pincer them between a deadly flurry of attacks.

Despite all of these interesting advantages, Devo has several key weaknesses that need to be compensated for. While he is controlling Ebony Devil, he is completely vulnerable and will take massively increased damage if his main body is attacked while he is stationary. Also, since Ebony Devil only moves when he is controlled, the opponent can easily keep his distance or push Devo away from his Stand, cutting off his line of support; Ebony Devil by this proxy also requires more effective positioning to avoid any attacks landed on it (which inflicts indirect damage to Devo), as it still counts as a normal extension of himself like all standard Stands.

Devo is considered to be a solid mid-to-high tier character in the metagame, and despite requiring some complex planning and thought to use most effectively, he is a very powerful and rewarding character to play.

Détails

  • In the game Heritage for the Future Devo can use his Stand even after being de-aged by Alessi, implying he was either born or developed his Stand ability at a young age.
  • Oddly, he is one of the last enemies fought during Young Joseph's Story Mode in Heritage for the Future, despite Devo being killed in Singapore long before Alessi is even introduced into the canon. (The intro explains Young Joseph's story as Joseph encountering Alessi in Egypt instead of Polnareff, and being de-aged into a young adult.)
  • Devo's Voice actor in All Star Battle, Unsho Ishizuka, would later voice Joseph in the Part 3 and Part 4 anime.
  • His name was changed in VIZ Media's translation of the manga to avoid a lawsuit from the band of the same name. Per Araki's suggestion, he was renamed "Soul Sacrifice", a reference to the song of the same name by Santana. This name has since been used within the international release of All Star Battle, the Crunchyroll simulcast of Stardust Crusaders, and the Toonami broadcast of the English dub.
