“
Quem diabos sou eu? (オレは一体何者なのか？)
”
—Josuke Higashikata, JJL Chapter 17

Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助, Higashikata Jōsuke) é o protagonista da oitava parte de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, JoJolion, e o oitavo JoJo da série.

Josuke é um jovem aflito com amnésia retrógada, tendo ausência de quaisquer memórias antes de ter sido descoberto por Yasuho Hirose perto das Paredes Oculares na cidade de Morioh. Ele se dedica à descobrir sua antiga identidade e aqueles originalmente associados com ele.

A identidade original de Josuke era a de Josefumi Kujo (空条 仗世文, Kūjō Josefumi), que se tornou sua atual pessoa depois de fundir com parte do corpo de Yoshikage Kira (吉良 吉影, Kira Yoshikage). Josuke é um usuário de Stand e retêm o Soft & Wet de sua identidade original.

Aparência

Josuke é um jovem, fisicamente em forma e de altura acima da média. Josuke tem diastema entre seus incisores superiores e uma marca de nascença em forma de estrela no seu ombro esquerdo. Ele tem dois pares de íris, quatro testículos, duas línguas, todas juntas em uma só, diferentes em textura e cor. Depois de consumir um frasco de Locacaca 6251, múltiplos pedaços de pele e a parte de cima do corpo do Josuke viraram pedra, incluindo seu olho esquerdo.

Ele usa um caxangá com borlas (em múltiplas ilustrações, ele é adornado com a mesma insígnia de palma que o chapéu de Jotaro Kujo). Ele veste um uniforme de marinheiro, cortado com um grande espaço para o pescoço e acima do umbigo (mais tarde retratado com sua marca de nascença exposta), um lenço com botão lembrando uma cabeça de parafuso entalhada, emblemas largos de uma âncora em seu lado direito e uma rosa-dos-ventos na sua esquerda, uma calça justa com um cinto, e um par de tênis atléticos de cano alto.

Yasuho menciona que ele se parece com seu cachorro, Josuke.

Personalidade

“
Eu vou tomar de volta o passado que eu perdi!
”
—Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 74: Ozon Baby's Pressure, Part 2

Josuke é um amnésico peculiar e determinado à descobrir sua verdadeira identidade e seu passado.

Yasuho foi a primeira pessoa que Josuke conheceu ou soube sobre

Josuke é aflito por amnésia retrógada extensiva, não tendo nenhuma memória de si mesmo ou eventos prévios à ser encontrado por Yasuho Hirose, mas retendo vários graus de conhecimento.[1] Assim sendo, Josuke é dirigido à descobrir quem ele é por investigar as circunstâncias de sua presença na praia antes de ter sido salvo pela Yasuho. Esse objetivo ocupa quase todas suas atividades, e nenhuma ação na sua parte é feita sem tentar alcançar a verdade. Essa vontade é suficientemente forte que ele foi capaz de interromper um momento raro com Yasuho, seu interesse amoroso, para investigar Karera Sakunami.[2] Depois de descobrir sua identidade passada, Josuke tem o objetivo de recuperar um galho de Locacaca e usar a fruta para curar Holy Joestar-Kira.[3] Ele ainda demonstra a mesma firmeza para investigar a fruta e o paradeiro da Organização Locacaca, com a adição de deferir às opiniões de Rai Mamezuku, achando que conhecimento do avaliador de plantas merece ser ouvido. Sua determinação para alcançar seus objetivos é melhor ilustrada quando ele prontamente se faz vítima da chuva tornada letal pelo Stand de Satoru Akefu, permitindo que seu corpo fosse perfurado por gotas de chuva, incluindo sua cabeça, apenas para chegar no hospital.[4]

Josuke wants to retrieve the Locacaca and save Holy, as a "proof of his existence"

Josuke seems to have retained certain traits from both of his original identities. At times he displays strong emotions like Josefumi while also being able to analyze situations and strategize like Yoshikage. However, Josuke ultimately considers himself separate from both, being neither Kira or Josefumi as he doesn't have memories from either man nor did anyone from Josefumi's past look for him. It causes him to question what he really is and consider his identity to be nebulous.[5] Nonetheless, he felt a strong sadness when he first saw Holy Joestar-Kira, meaning he has also retained subconscious memories strong enough to still feel attachment to her.[6]

While Josuke can be violent at times, he also has a degree of restraint toward enemies he doesn't need to kill. On multiple occasions he has asked members of the Higashikata family for permission before pursuing an enemy that relates to them,[7][8] and he even kept his promise to not harm Jobin while trying to get information about the Locacaca out of him.[9] However, Josuke is willing to defend himself and the people he knows from anyone who wishes to harm them. Unlike his counterpart Jotaro, Josuke isn't disturbed at the idea of hitting women and readily knocked out Kei when she attacked him.[10] Josuke is not afraid to threaten to kill, and he indeed killed Tamaki Damo in cold-blood in retaliation for threatening his adoptive family,[11] though his main goal of discovering his identity means that killing his aggressors is counterproductive. That killing intent is easily triggered when someone hurts Yasuho. Josuke has also proven to be proficient at manipulating people, notably Jobin with whom he would adopt a more nonchalant persona to seem harmless.[12] Apart from that, Josuke approaches his task calmly and methodically.

Josuke is relatively polite and has been shown to strongly value familial relationships. Being amnesiac, Josuke places a great emphasis on one's family and legacy, wishing to learn his own past. The fact that no one came looking for him while hospitalized deeply unnerves him, to the point he can shed tears at the thought,[13] and Josuke honors Norisuke Higashikata's adoption of him, considering himself a part of the Higashikatas.[14] When Karera rejects her own parents, Josuke comments that they would never get along.[15] He's not only willing to defend his adoptive family, but he strongly desires to cure Holy of her illness despite not having any memories of her. However, Josuke continues to suspect members of the Higashikata family of working against him. Josuke cares for Yasuho on a stronger level than even his family, and any threat to her well-being greatly angers him. In fact, during his battle with Yotsuyu Josuke is shown to possess a similar type of willpower to Johnny Joestar's "dark determination."[16] However, when it comes to his goals, Josuke is straight to the point and hardly tolerates any circling around the subject. For instance, he didn't hesitate to directly ask Norisuke if he killed Yoshikage Kira, forcing the latter to explain his motives.[17]

For unknown reasons, Josuke sleeps under the mattress

Despite all this, Josuke also has a certain number of humorous quirks. He seems to be totally oblivious when it comes to mundane things while at the same time retaining in-depth knowledge of animal and plant species.[18] Josuke prefers sleeping underneath a whole mattress rather than the bed sheets for "increased compression."[19] He also regularly spills food he enjoys.[20][21] During his earlier interactions with Yasuho, Josuke would pry on her breast size offhandedly, measuring it by sight (a trait that he probably gained from Yoshikage, as Holy was shown to possess a similar skill).[22] Josuke has also demonstrated a more childish side, implanting his hair into Joshu and Hato Higashikata for fun.[23] Whenever the mood is right, Josuke seems to have fun declaring his victory. He notably consciously poses after outsmarting the population of Shakedown Road[24] and also smugly claimed his win against Jobin in a stag beetle fight.[25]

Habilidades

Stand

Main article: Soft & Wet

Soft & Wet é o Stand de Josuke. Inicialmente pertencendo à Josefumi, Josuke o retêm após a fusão com Kira, embora com algumas pequenas diferenças

Sua habilidade primária (Pilhagem) é roubar algum aspecto ou propriedade de um alvo; e ser contido em uma ou mais bolhas de sabão (carregando a imagem de sua marca de nascença), da qual pode ser retornada ou transferida para outros objetos. Essa habilidade foi usada ofensivamente e estrategicamente. Soft & Wet também demonstra força acima da média e a capacidade de ataques corpo a corpo rápidos, comuns para a maioria dos Stands humanoides

Como ele mesmo, o Stand de Josuke é descrito como uma fusão do Killer Queen de Yoshikage Kira e o Soft & Wet original pertencente à Josefumi Kujo.

File:Rjojos-bizarre-adventure-part-008-jojolion-3793491.jpg
Soft & Wet

Durante sua luta com Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Joske decide usar [suas] bolhas de sabão ofensivamente em vez de defensivamente... Soft & Wet é mostrado ser capaz de cercar e conter objetos por criar bolhas de sabão e socá-las em dito objeto. As bolhas estouram e então se formam novamente em volta do alvo; Josuke é então capaz de fazer as bolhas e o objeto dentro flutuar para onde ele quiser, que nem suas bolhas de sabão normais.

Ao combinar golpes com suas bolhas, ele é capaz de injetar uma de suas bolhas de sabão dentro da pele de seus inimigos, causando dano superficial quando ele as estoura. A propriedade explosiva das bolhas foi primeiramente demonstrada contra os Irmãos A. Phex e descritas por eles como sendo muito similares à as de Kira.

Habilidades Pessoais

  • Visão: Josuke possui uma visão excepcional, sendo capaz de precisamente descrever as dimensões de objetos organicos como humanos e árvores de longe (uma característica compartilhada com Holy Joestar-Kira). Além disso ele aparenta ter um campo de visão largo, percebedo movimento na altura de seus pés mesmo olhando para outro lado.
  • Combate corpo-a-corpo: Josuke demonstra uma afinidade natural em relação à combate corpo a corpo, tendo fluidamente bloqueado e golpeado um oponente em apenas um movimento, aumentando o dano que seus golpes causam com os poderes de seu Stand. Ele também é tem excelentes reflexos e uma velocidade de reação rápida comum entre lutadores experienciados.
  • Inteligência: Josuke é um estrategista extremamente proficiente. Ele é capaz de usar seu Stand para vários efeitos e prever os próximos movimentos de seus oponentes facilmente. Josuke é um indivíduo metódico tendo rapidamente deduzido os poderes de Born This Way através de um simples experimento, assim como tomar vantagem das características de Les Feuilles mesmo tendo apenas vista-as em ação há pouco tempo. Fora de combate, Josuke é minucioso em sua investigação, sendo cuidadoso para cobrir suas pegadas. Ele também demonstrou habilidade proficiente em matemática, tendo facilmente resolvido um problema de trigonometria dado à ele por Joshu.

Relacionamentos

O primeiro contato de Josuke é Yasuho Hirose, sua descobridora. Ele mora na residência da família Higashikata depois da adoção tentativa por Norisuke Higashikata IV.

=Interesse Amoroso

  • Yasuho Hirose: Josuke holds Yasuho in special regard, as the first person he has ever met or known. Yasuho's casually considerate nature with Josuke in the first instance is to have naturally built with his trust. Yasuho in return is able to appreciate his innocence and empathize with his sadness over having no family. They seemingly hold romantic feelings for one another, and the proof of their romantic progression can be seen during the Love Love Deluxe arc where, after meeting up, the two begin holding hands and look like they are on a date. Yasuho helps him gather information on his identity and Josuke in turn protects her, becoming enraged when someone tries to harm her in any way. She is the only person Josuke whole-heartedly trusts.

Família Adotiva

Josuke foi adotado para dentro da residência Higashikata, portanto carregando o sobrenome Higashikata. Inicialmente suspeitando deles por inteiro, o comportamento peculiar deles e as revelações subsequentes sobre suas motivações o fizeram ser mais caloroso em relação à eles, Josuke deseja honrar a bondade da família, tentando não antagonizá-los, ao menos não abertamente.

  • Norisuke Higashikata IV: Josuke's adoptive father. Mutually suspicious; Josuke's natural curiosity as to his origins and Norisuke's intentions carries him beyond the boundaries set for him by the Higashikata patriarch as condition to his residence at the family home, which Norisuke appears to have offered under ulterior motives. He reveals that he knows Josuke has some link to Yoshikage Kira who had information on how to cure the family and for that reason adopted Josuke in hopes of acquiring that information. Norisuke later reveals himself as an ally, and the two hold a mutual trust for one another. Norisuke still places his family above all else, but seems to have grown to care for Josuke as family and even a possible surrogate son (one main example being when Damo tortures Norisuke to get information about Josefumi and Kira from him. While he knows Josuke is somehow involved, he does not rat on him until Damo threatens to kill his family. Even during this, Norisuke breaks down crying and sincerely apologizes to Josuke for not being able to protect him, showing the depth of his care).
  • Daiya Higashikata: Josuke's adoptive younger sister. After engaging Josuke with her Stand, Daiya expresses arousal for him, which Josuke acknowledges to an extent while in a state of diminished responsibility. Upon her defeat, he extends his friendship in recognition of the personal virtues she expressed during their engagement, with Daiya pledging a degree of assistance in his inquiries. Daiya is constantly clinging to Josuke and he partially returns her affection, at the very least considering her a friend and watching out for her well-being.
  • Joshu Higashikata: Josuke's adoptive brother. Emotionally immature and unstable, Joshu perceives the sight of the newly-conscious Josuke lying nude on the ground next to Yasuho as an insult, becoming enraged and attacking Josuke with lethal force before he is subdued. Joshu retains a powerful sense of insult at Josuke's interruption in his relationship with Yasuho and his family. Paired by Norisuke while travelling to school together, Josuke exerts an arms-length reception of Joshu, who persistently curses and discriminates against him.
  • Jobin Higashikata: Josuke's adoptive older brother. Although they seem to have a cordial relationship, Josuke and Jobin are technically enemies and recognize each others as threats. Josuke was first interested in Jobin because of his mysterious relationship with the Locacaca. He prepared to fight him, but settled for tricking him into revealing himself in several gambles about beetle fights. During these gamble, Josuke faked a more friendly and smug demeanor, ultimately leading Jobin to suspect foul play.
  • Tsurugi Higashikata: Josuke's adoptive nephew. Tsurugi initially tried to kill Josuke because Yotsuyu promised him a cure for his rock disease if he helped him. Despite this, Josuke doesn't seem to wish harm on Tsurugi partially understanding Tsurugi's fear of his disease. He has manipulated information on Tsurugi's father Jobin out of Tsurugi by urgency and mentioning his father hiding secrets that could cure him. Josuke is willing to use Tsurugi but seems to still care for his safety as he was worried when he was attacked by Aisho and went to him to make sure he was ok, showing the two are at least on amiable terms.
  • Hato Higashikata: Josuke's adoptive older sister. The two initially do not have much interaction, especially since Josuke is mainly focused on finding more about his past. Despite this, the two seem to get along fine as she was worried when Josuke was trying to use a razor and told Joshu to teach him how to use it properly. When Damo is attacking the family, Hato initially can't believe it and when he attacks both her and Josuke, Josuke uses his bubbles to protect her, implying he cares for her as a friend. The two even worked well together fighting and defeating Damo.

Aliados

  • Rai Mamezuku: An ally due to his connection with Norisuke along with being the plant appraiser that could tell where the branch of the Locacaca fruit tree is, he becomes Josuke's ally when enemies begin to try to capture him due to his abilities and seeks Josuke's protection. While the two are not on friendly terms, they get along well enough.

Afiliações Passadas

  • Karera Sakunami: Josuke initially didn't recognize Karera at first, however she insisted that she knew him before. Karera refers to him by the mysterious name "Setchan" and leaves before Josuke can obtain more information on his identity. Obtaining her name using Soft & Wet, Josuke lies to her about Yasuho in a failed attempt to retrieve more information. After showing Josuke an old picture on her cellphone of her, Kira and a mysterious other boy she reveals that Josuke's identity is that of Josefumi Kujo - the other boy in the photo. Rebuked by her manners and her willingness to let go of her past, he comments that they will never get along.
  • Josefumi Kujo: Josuke discovered that he is Josefumi Kujo with part of the deceased Yoshikage Kira's corpse fused to his body. He seemed to have a friendly relationship with Karera Sakunami, as Kira, Josefumi and Karera appeared in a photo together. Josuke seems to retain certain traits from his previous identity as Josefumi, particularly his feelings and emotions along with a similar feeling of loneliness stemming from abandonment issues. Josuke wonders why no one from his previous identity's past is searching for him, leading him to regard his existence as nebulous.
  • Yoshikage Kira: The other half of Josuke's body. On the verge of death, Josefumi fed Kira a Locacaca, resulting in parts of Kira's body being fused to Josefumi's. He and Yasuho went to his apartment to find clues on Josuke's identity but initially found nothing as Sasame confirmed he was not Kira. The two also found his body buried. Despite seeming to have hit a road bump, Kei later confirms Josuke is a combination of Kira and another person (later revealed to be Josefumi). Josuke seems to get his trademark outfit and part of his stand abilities from Kira, along with possibly some of his personality traits such as his shrewd manipulative intelligent mind, his drive to succeed in his goals, and loyalty to friends and family. After his encounter with Tamaki Damo, Josuke comes to terms with Josefumi as his previous identity and half of his body being that of Kira's. He inherits his motivation to acquire the Locacaca to save Holy Joestar-Kira, identifying her as his mother.
  • Kei Nijimura: Initially he did not interact with her. However, when she learned he was trying to investigate Holy and her connection to Yoshikage Kira, Kei intervened using her stand Born this Way and nearly killing him in the process. When he defeated her with help from Paisley Park, she confessed she was Kira's sister and was only working for the Higashikatas (whom she hated) to investigate what happened to her brother and reveals herself as an ally. She has him promise not to see Holy Joestar-Kira which he agrees to, upon seeing her break down and cry and not wanting to hurt her or Holy. The two seem to be on better terms.
  • Holy Joestar-Kira: When he discovered she was Kira's mother, he tried to investigate her but was stopped by Kei who had him promise not to bother her. Despite this, upon hearing about her condition from Yasuho he felt partially sorry for her and realizes she did not come to pick up her son because of her dementia. He also learns of her connection to the Higashikatas, making him more suspicious of them. When he later visited her, Josuke soon found out that her condition worsened, as she ate some of her fingers before the hospital had to restrain her. Recognizing her as his mother, even after accepting Josefumi as his previous identity, Josuke becomes intent on completing Yoshikage's mission and curing Holy's illness with the locacaca.

Inimigos

  • Ojiro Sasame: Ojiro was struck with misfortune from both of Josuke's former identities, particularly with Kira who had supposedly convinced him to eat his own fingers while drunk. Ojiro would later attack Josuke, thinking he was Kira and would later be taken out.
  • Yotsuyu Yagiyama: As a member of the Locacaca Organization, Yotsuyu was an enemy of Josuke's and both of his former identities. After a confrontation, Yotsuyu ended up being unintentionally killed by Josuke, due to his Rock Human biology.
  • Tamaki Damo: Damo was originally unaware of Josuke's identity and presumed him to be a freeloader at the Higashikata household. He came to the Higashikata estate in search of Josefumi. Upon discovering Josuke is Josefumi, Damo saw him as an enemy but marveled at the miraculous new potential for the Locacaca. Josuke treated Damo as a dangerous enemy and made sure to kill him, even after he pleaded to help save his mother.
  • Dolomite: Dolomite is an assassin hired Jobin to kill Josuke. Using his Stand powers, Dolomite infects several people, before possessing Josuke himself. Dolomite attempted to make Josuke drown himself before being stopped by Yasuho.
  • Satoru Akefu: The Head Doctor of Morioh's TG University Hospitial is a mysterious figure introduced in the The Wonder of You story arc. Pursuing the Head Doctor is actually a trigger for his unique stand ability, Wonder of U, which causes Josuke and his allies, along with the Higashikata Family much torment. In the section of The Wonder of You named Endless Calamity, it is revealed that Satoru is actually a stolen identity protrayed by the stand itself with an inconspicuous user, who is a person that has connections to Josuke's allies, Yasuho Hirose and Rai Mamezuku.

And... no matter whose memories you search... even if the police check everywhere in this whole world... there's no record of me... anywhere. I don't even know what I am, honestly. Half of my body is Josefumi Kujo, yes. but no one is searching for me... not even my own mother. Even if I met her, I wouldn't know it. No matter where I go, my identity is nebulous. A nebulous existence that disappeared. I absolutely must get my hands on the new Locacaca. The other half of my body is Yoshikage Kira. For Kira's... for Holy's sake, I have to obtain that perfect equivalent exchange. That is the one and only proof of my existence.
    ”
    —Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 90: The Wonder of You, Part 7

    My name... Is Josuke Higashikata... And my memories from when I was born... Are long gone from this world... And they'll never... Come back... But even so, there's something I'm certain of. I am your son. No matter where I go, or what era I live in, that's something certain that I can believe in. Mom...
    ”
    —Josuke Higashikata, JoJolion Chapter 92: The Wonder of You, Part 9

Trivia

  • The Suke in his name may also be pronounced as Jo.
  • When he is given the name "Josuke Higashikata", his name is written in a different kanji (定助 instead of 仗助) than that of the Part 4 protagonist's (of note is that this name is pronounced the same as Norisuke IV's birth name).
  • The brand of his hat is "SBR" (a reference to the Steel Ball Run race).
  • Josuke was originally going to have the Stand ability to attach screws to something, but Araki changed his mind and gave that to Joshu.[26]
  • Foreign fans often refer to him as Jo2uke, Jo8uke, Josuk8, or Gappy (in reference to the distinct gap in his teeth) to avoid confusion with the other Josuke.
  • Josuke's voice actor in the Bandai Namco video games, Mitsuaki Madono, also voices Rubber Soul in the 1999 fighting game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future.
  • After Josuke undergoes Equivalent Exchange from the 6251, the rock over his left eye is very similar to the appearance of Baoh's left eye, also covered by stone. Additionally, the rock on Josuke's chest may be in reference to Jotaro Kujo, as it bears a resemblance to the chain Jotaro wears on his jacket.
