Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Obladi Oblada (オブラディ・オブラダ, Oburadi Oburada) is a minor antagonist featured in the eighth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion.
It is a leech-like Rock Insect whom Wonder of U releases to dispatch Josuke.
Appearance
Obladi Oblada's main body takes on the appearance of a small, flat, round disc, resembling a cookie, with six stubs protruding from its edges. It visually has a four-toed paw print on its back. When duplicated, the bodies seem to link together via their stubs. Akefu calls Obladi Oblada an insect, but also notes that its species aren't technically insects, as they lack a three-segmented body and jointed legs.[1]
Personality
Not much is known about Obladi Oblada's personality so far, but it can be inferred that, like Dododo De Dadada, it is carnivorous. Obladi Oblada's species prefer to live on dry, sloped cliffs and targets any sort of animal from above or below.
Abilities
A Rock Insect, Obladi Oblada feeds on human flesh.
Latching
Obladi Oblada can latch itself onto its victims, like a tick, via a sticky substance. This is effective in order for the Rock Organism to absorb its prey's essence.
Body Expansion
Obladi Oblada is capable of multiplying its bodies at a rapid pace, to the point of overwhelming its victim within seconds. Attempting to attack or pull off one of the pads seems to spawn more of its bodies, proving any attack against it seemingly futile. When the body multiplies, its copies form out of one of its stubs. It is currently unknown if the duplicated bodies are part of its main body, or completely separate entities given birth.
History
Background
Obladi Oblada originally lived on a dry, sloped cliff.[1] It becomes allies with Tooru at some point.
JoJolion
Wonder of U keeps the Rock Insect attached to its cane.[1] While evacuating and being chased by Josuke, Wonder of U releases Obladi Oblada to stop him.
Obladi Oblada latches itself onto Josuke's hand, eating at his flesh. Josuke tries to pry the insect off, but to no avail; the organism clings on and spawns duplicates of itself all over Josuke's arm. He tries shooting at the Rock Insect, but Obladi Oblada again duplicates itself, swarming him until it completely covers his body. He then tries to fire one last shot at Wonder of U, but seemingly misses. Losing energy as Obladi Oblada continues devouring him, Josuke eventually collapses.
