Les jeunes de cette ville ont un esprit doré. Cet esprit qu'il incarne se réfléchira sur les autres sans un mot...

”

—Joseph Joestar, Goodbye, Morioh - The Golden Heart

Morioh (杜王町, Moriō-chō) est une ville fictionnelle qui apparaît dans la série JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable.

Morioh est une petite ville de province où la vie est tranquille, en apparence. Suite à l'introduction de la Flèche, plusieurs manieurs de Stand font surface, parmi eux le jeune Josuke Higashikata et Yoshikage Kira le tueur en série. Lorsque les frères Nijimura emménagent et commencent à utiliser la Flèche, l'activité de la ville augmente sensiblement.

Morioh possèdent de nombreux endroits intéressants, connectés pour la plupart à la population de manieurs de Stand de la ville.

Géographie et Climat

La maison de Josuke, typique de l'architecture occidentale de Morioh

Morioh est une petite ville côtière située au Japon. Elle est proche de la ville "S", dans la préfecture "M", qui sont des références à la ville de naissance d'Araki lui-même, la ville de Sendai, dans la préfecture de Miyagi. Morioh est centré autour de sa gare, le centre économique de la ville étant située près de la station de train, et les voies de circulations partant de la gare dans toutes les directions. A l'est de la station se situe la majorité de la ville, les quartier résidentiel puis la côte. A l'ouest sud-ouest se situe des zones plus rurales, dédiées à l'agriculture. Au-delà se trouve une zone montagneuse. La rivière Hirose traverse le sud de la ville avant de se jeter dans la mer.

Même si Morioh est une ville japonaise, l'architecture locale est surtout dans un style occidental. Les quartiers résidentiels de Morioh ressemblent ainsi plus aux banlieues à l'américaine avec de large pavillons occidentaux et des terrains larges. Le centre-ville de Morioh est occupé par des bâtiments au style occidental qui font quelques étages tout au plus.

Josuke prenant le bus

L'infrastructure de Morioh est assez bien développé, notamment dans le domaine des transports publics. La ville possède une gare qui la connecte à d'autres villes, dont la ville S, et qui est souvent utilisé par les travailleurs journaliers. Il y a aussi un réseau de bus connectant Morioh à d'autres ville comme Sapporo. Il y a au moins trois lignes de bus en ville, comme le suggère Koichi Hirose quand il dit Jotaro Kujo de prendre le "bus de la ligne 3".

The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.

La ville S dans la préfecture M est une agglomération adjacente à Morioh. La ville attirait de nombreuses nouvelles entreprises. Cela causant une augmentation de la population à Morioh alors que des travailleurs recherchaient un logis, et se sont installée dans les villes proches de la ville S, dont Morioh.

Morioh dans un blizzard

La ville de S était à l'époque beaucoup plus développée que Morioh, qui était encore très rural, comme ce qu'on voyait de la campagne dans des séries télévisées. Les habitants qui souhaitaient un mode de vie plus urbain ou un travail un peu plus moderne allaient s'installer en centre-ville de Morioh pour rechercher du travail et pour certains rêvaient de s'installer à la ville S, même si le marché du travail était très compétitif.

Comme Morioh est situé au nord du Japon, il est sujet à des hivers très froids. Un flashback de Josuke durant son enfance montre que Morioh pouvait subir des tempêtes de neiges.

Culture

Les manieurs de Stand de Morioh vivent en général de façon paisible

Morioh est une petit ville de province au Japon, ce qui fait que la ville est relativement paisible et calme. La plupart de la population est constitué d'humains ordinaires vivant des vies ordinaires. La plupart des gens semblent être de la classe moyenne, ou sont aisés, sachant que la ville possède aussi des maisons servant de villégiatures pour des personnes riches vivant autre part. Il y a une petite criminalité qui existe en ville, notamment un gang de jeune bikers qui roulent imprudemment et Durant l'été, la ville reçoit la visite de nombreux touristes qui profite de la ville et des activités proposées, mais les habitants de Morioh sont décrit comme étant assez froid avec les touristes, étant agacé quand il viennent dans les boutiques regarder les rayons sans acheter. Cependant, on dit qu'il sont amicaux dès qu'on apprend à les connaitre.

Morioh est unique par l'inhabituellement grande population de manieurs de Stand qui habitent la petite ville. Ceci est expliqué par la présence de deux Flèches utilisées qui ont crée un certains nombre de manieurs, ainsi que la présence de la Famille Joestar en ville. Keicho Nijimura a tiré sur de nombreuses personnes avec sa Flèche durant les mois précédents à Diamond is Unbreakable, et Yoshihiro Kira a aussi créé plusieurs manieurs de Stands. Ainsi la ville a eu une grande population de manieurs de Stand malveillants. Josuke Higashikata a acquis son Stand du à ses liens du sang avec la famille Joestar. Finalement, plusieurs manieurs de Stand s'installent naturellement en ville, comme le font Tonio Trussardi et Aya Tsuji. Josuke et ses compagnons combattent régulièrement des manieurs de Stand malveillants, ce qui cause une légère mais régulière mesure de chaos à travers la ville.

Morioh a comme "fleur officielle" l'Adonis, et sa spécialité culinaire sont les langues de bœuf marinées au miso.

Les habitants de Morioh sont un peu superstitieux sans être forcément religieux, croyant que leurs bonnes actions leur garantit une bonne vie. En effet, s'il échappen in extremis à une situation périlleuse, il aiment à dire "normal au fond, avec le bien que je fais tout le long de l'année...". Ceux qui passent la trentaine sereinement disent aussi aiment dire qu'il sont humble et mangent même la tête des sardines.

L'adaptation anime ajoute à la ville une émission de radio nommée "Morioh-cho Radio" dont l'hôte, Kai Harada, donne des nouvelles de la ville, lit les messages des abonnées et diffuse de la musique.

Activité

Les cols blancs prenant le train

Morioh est une banlieue et fait partie de l'agglomération urbaine de la ville S, avec une partie significative de la population qui sont des travailleurs cols blancs qui voyagent chaque jour en train de Morioh à la ville S pour travailler. Cependant, Morioh possède tout de même une bonne présence d'entreprises locales. Morioh possède des compagnies présentes dans n'importe quelle ville moyenne, comme des supermarchés (par exemple le supermarché Kameyu), une banque, des restaurants, un port industriel, une industrie de pêche (ont voit des pêcheurs notamment quand Yukako Yamagishi tombe du fameux Cap Boing-boing). La ville possède plusieurs entreprises inhabituelles. Le restaurant de Tonio Trussardi et le salon de beauté d'Aya Tsuji reposent sur leurs capacité Stands et offrent des services très inhabituels. Tamami Kobayashi, un local, utilise aussi son Stand The Lock pour opérer en tant qu'usurier, forçant les gens à lui rendre ses prêts grâce à son pouvoir.

Morioh a une industrie touristique florissante en été

Chaque année, le 1er juillet en été, les rivières et plages de Morioh ouvrent au public. La saison touristique va de juillet à août, et c'est là que 70 à 80% des revenus de l'industrie du tourisme son engrangés. Le nombre de touristes de la ville S, de Tokyo et même de l'étrange qui viennent double la population de la ville. Chaque année, la ville attire près de 200000 touristes. Les locaux ne se socialisent généralement pas très bien avec les touristes et les vendeurs locaux ont une attitude peu accueillante, insistant pour les visiteurs achètent leurs produits. Cependant, les habitants de Morioh se révèlent être des gens biens.

Les activités populaires de Morioh incluent des centres de villégiature, le golf, le camping, la pêche, les pique-niques, le yachting, la planche à voile, la dégustation de fruits de mer locaux et de produits traditionnels japonais, et la visite du mystérieux palais sous-marin. Toutes ces attractions garantissent un bon moment à Morioh pendant l'été.

Histoire

Le développement de Morioh durant l'enfance de Josuke

La zone autour de Morioh était habitée depuis très longtempts, on retrouve de fait des traces de villages datant de la période Jomon (14,000–300 av. J.C.). Morioh a été habité par des samourais, avec la création de nombreux centres de formation aux combats et de villas pour samourais, certaines qui existent encore. Dans les années 80, la ville se développe rapident et se transforme de zone rurale à petite ville développées avec en 1999 une bonne partie de la population appartenant à une classe moyenne de cols blancs, voyageant en train tous les jours à la ville S pour y travailler.

Quelques années auparavant, Morioh était une petite ville rurale où on ne pouvait trouver que des rizières ou des champs de légumes. La région était surtout agricole, et les habitants avaient des mains endurcies et craquelé par le travail de la terre. Ils avaient souvent besoin de vérifier l'eau des rizières au milieu de la nuit. Il existait une zone au nord-est célèbre pour une villa d'été.

Durant la période de forte croissance économique du Japon, Morioh a été aussi transformée et s'est développé. Le gouvernement de la préfecture M décida d'investir dans le développement de Morioh et sa population a augmenté rapidement avec des travailleurs venant de la ville S, près de Morioh. Les rues furent réaménagées, des magasins divers ont ouvert, et les rizières furent remplacées par des quartiers résidentiels pleines de jolies maison. Des câbles électriques et téléphoniques qui gâchaient la vue ont été démontés ou abandonnés (dont le pylône électrique lié à Super Fly). Avec la croissance de la ville, de nombreuses personnes qui avaient quitté la ville sont retournés à Morioh, dont Akari Hirai.

Kira tue ses victimes pendant 15 ans sans se faire attraper

Le 13 août 1983, une tragédie frappe Morioh Un jeuneYoshikage Kira commet son premier meurtre. Il assassine Reimi Sugimoto et sa famille. Kira tuera 48 femmes durant les 15 prochaines années et ses meurtres ne sont pas découvert grâce à son pouvoir le débarrassant de toute preuve, ainsi que son habitude de garder profil bas. En 1999, 81 personnes ont déjà disparues de Morioh depuis le début de l'année, dont 45 enfants. Cette statistique est sept à huit fois plus important que la moyenne nationale. Au début de l'année, Keicho Nijimura et Okuyasu Nijimura réemmenagent en ville. Ils utilisent libéralement la Flèche pour créer des manieurs de Stands, ce qui cause une hausse de la criminalité. Quelques mois avant, Keicho avait fait d'Anjuro Katagiri un manieur de Stand. Anjuro survit à son exécution, s'évade, et va à Morioh.

Averti de son arrivé, Jotaro Kujo va à Morioh pour rencontrer le fils illégitime de Joseph, Josuke Higashikata. Pour un temps, Josuke et Jotaro combattent d'autres manieurs de Stand malveillants créés par Keicho. Keicho lui-même est tué par l'un de ces manieurs, Akira Otoishi, qui vole la flèche. Cependant, Akira est finalement arrêté et les héros retrouvent la flèche créatrice de Stand.

Les héros parviennent à vaincre Kira pour de bon

Le 13 juin, Koichi Hirose et Rohan Kishibe rencontrent le Fantôme de Reimi Sugimoto, qui les prévient à propos d'un tueur en série en ville. La recherche de Yoshikage Kira accélère lorsqu'il tue le jeune Shigekiyo Yangu et laisse derrière un indice. Les héros découvrent Kira après un combat, mais ce dernier s'échappe et change de visage grâce au salon de beauté d'Aya. Il reprend une nouvelle identité et échappe aux héros pour un temps. Le père deYoshikage Kira, le fantôme de Yoshihiro Kira, utilise sa flèche pour créer plusieurs autres manieurs de Stands pour assassiner les héros, ce qui résulte en plusieurs combats. En même temps, Kira essaie de s'acclimater à sa nouvelle vie avec la famille Kawajiri, mais le fils Hayato Kawajiri découvre sa véritable identité et parvient à prévenir Josuke. Après un combat brutal, Kira est tué accidentellement par une ambulance. Reimi et Arnold se débarrassent du fantôme de Kira en faisant en sorte que les esprits malicieux de l'allée fantôme.

With Morioh now rid of Kira and with a generation of benevolent Stand Users to protect it, Jotaro and Joseph Joestar leave Morioh, confident that it is in good hands.

JORGE JOESTAR

The information below derives from a source not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.

Morioh in JORGE JOESTAR

An alternate version of Morioh appears in the novel JORGE JOESTAR. Morioh is situated in an alternate universe where things such as the general geography of Earth is different from the original universe. Unlike the original universe, Japan is actually on a supercontinent named Panlandia.

Similar to the original manga, Morioh is also a small Japanese coastal town known for its local delicacies and tourist-friendly attractions. The town is mostly peaceful yet lively; it has no telephone lines and has room for cars and pedestrians. With most of the town being on top of a valley, the residential area overlooks the coastal docks which are lined with several souvenir shops, inns, and restaurants. This Morioh also has some of the landmarks of the original Morioh, like the Angelo Rock, Boyoyoying Cape or Budogaoka High School.

One of the town's famous buildings was a unique house named the Cube House, which had no doors or windows, formerly residing on top of Morioh's biggest hill in 2004. In 2007, a new structure called the Arrow Cross House suddenly appeared in place of the Cube House, and it is later bought by Rohan Kishibe ^{(Universe 37)} in 2012. Other than Rohan, Reimi Sugimoto is also a tenant in the Arrow Cross House. It is later revealed that Reimi, in the form of the Arrow Cross House and the Cube House, is the Stand of Penelope de la Rosa, a character from the original universe with George Joestar II, which manifested from her desperation to find George Joestar II in the 37th universe.

Nero Nero Island on top of Morioh

Morioh's geography is altered drastically as a giant patch of land when it separates itself from Japan and the rest of Panlandia. The land begins to move on the ocean by itself, with an invisible dome-like barrier covering the town. It is further altered when another giant piece of land, the walking Nero Nero Island, collides with Morioh and sits atop the town.

Morioh, submerged and upside down

Later, Jorge Joestar, Kars, Narancia Ghirga ^{(Universe 37)}, and Enrico Pucci ^{(Universe 37)}, crash their spaceship from Mars on top of the Arrow Cross House, and the impact knocks the piece of land upside down. Morioh ends up being underwater, revealing the mythical land of England under it. Although the town is submerged, people were still stuck to the ground with the dome protecting the town from the ocean.

Just like Morioh from the manga, this Morioh has a greater-than-average population of Stand Users, who are also aware of the existence of the serial-killer named Yoshikage Kira. This Kira has also changed his face and identity and is currently pursued by some detectives.

It is located on the outskirts of Morioh, next to Trussardi's and the cemetery. One must pass the tunnel if they were traveling from Morioh High School to downtown Morioh. Josuke Higashikata passes through this tunnel when taking the bus going home from school. The tunnel is 450 m long.

It was renovated in Showa 58 (1983) and has an approximate length of 450 meters. The tunnel's curvature has resulted in a lack of proper lighting and a plethora of accidents. At some point in time, the tunnel had a secret side room only visible to Stand users. The room was created by a hospitalized Yuya Fungami's Stand, Highway Star, and was used to lure other Stand users so that he could drain them of their nutrients.

Détails

• The town is actually based on Hirohiko Araki's hometown, Sendai. He states that Sendai was an old historical town but began residential construction in the 80s, causing new houses to be built everywhere. Intimidated by the rapid increase in strangers, Araki used this experience for the basis of the setting in Part 4. However, Araki felt using the real name of the city in his manga may anger people, so he changed the name to Morioh. Morioh is instead a town within S City in M Prefecture, still referencing the real-life city of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture.
• Due to a Japanese-to-Chinese-to-English translation error in the first released online scans of Part 4, "Morioh" was incorrectly translated as Duwang; this name eventually becoming synonymous with and defining of the scanlation.
• In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, the 2016 anime adaptation of the part, Morioh is depicted with an unusual yellow sky.
• The Spanish town of Sitges was used as the shooting location for the movie adaptation of Part 4.
