Onze Hommes
Les Onze Hommes (１１人の男たち, Jūichi-nin no Otoko-tachi) sont un groupe d'antagonistes secondaires anonymes apparaissant dans la septième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run. Il figurent dans l'arc narratif "Sugar Mountain : La terre promise".
Ceux sont des Subordonnés de Valentine qui traquent Johnny Joestar et Jayro Zeppeli during la sixième étape de la Steel Ball Run. A Milwaukee, ils rattrapent les héros et essaient de les abattre pour prendre les morceaux du Corps Saint. Ceux sont tous des manieurs de Stand qui se partagent la même capacité, Tatoo You!.
Apparence
Les Onze Hommes sont similaires en apparences. Ils sont tous des hommes de taille et de carrur moyenne,avec une barbe et des cheveux ras, couvert de texte anglais comme on en trouve dans les journaux. Ils portent une tenue rappelant des cow-boys, avec des chapeaux à large visière et au sommet plats. Ils portent tous une chemise, un pantalon avec une ceinture et un holster à revolver, ainsi qu'un manteau ample et des gants. A cause de leur Stand, ils ont aussi un petit visage à l'arrière de la tête.
Un texte dit qu'il devrait y avoir un chef parmi eux, mais on ne saurait pas lequel.[1]
Palettes
Personnalité
On ne sait pas grand chose de la personnalité des Onze Hommes. Ils sont tous capable d'agir à l'unison avec une synchronicité extraordinaire. Ils sont aussi des combattants aguerris et des tueurs impitoyables. Ils pourchassent Johnny et Jayro sans faillir et essaient de les tuer immédiatement avec leurs revolvers. S'il le faut, ils utiliseront les cadavres de leurs camarades comme bouclier.
Pouvoirs
Stand
All Eleven Men share the same Stand ability, named Tatoo You! It allows them to use each other's bodies as portals, letting them merge with each other and displace themselves.
Histoire
Steel Ball Run
The Eleven Men are dispatched by Funny Valentine as the Steel Ball Run enters its sixth stage. Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli detect their presence in the forests near Milwaukee, following their trace. Gyro, listening to their pace, notes that they are unusually synchronized. The Eleven Men continue to trail the duo in Milwaukee until they find the two in a seedy casino in the city.[2]
One of the men approach and Johnny shoots him twice, blowing a hole in his head. However, the rest of the group has suddenly disappeared. Unbeknownst to them, the Eleven Men are using their collective power, Tatoo You!, to merge together and they shoot Gyro in the arm by surprise. Gyro is crippled and can only use one Steel Ball. Johnny shoots again but the men use their dead comrade as a shield. Gyro smashes the face of a second man, forcing him to shoot a third man in the face and kill him thanks to the Spin. All three men are dead and a fourth man peeks from the body to assert the situation. The remaining eight come out together to blast Johnny and Gyro, who are forced to hide behind a column. By using his moving bullet holes, Johnny manages to ambush a fourth men and destroy his head but he runs out of nails. While Gyro tries to negotiate with the gangsters besides them, the Seven Men drag the corpses of their dead comrades to approach Johnny and Gyro unimpeded. The moment the duo is surrounded, all of them come out. With his remaining nail, Johnny shoots a man in the wrist and forces him to shoot everwhere for an instant. Gyro smashes another's tibia with his Steel Ball, making him miss and merely shoot Gyro's shoulder but the duo is now truly out of weapons. The remaining men align their guns to execute the duo. However, the gangsters in the casino accept Gyro's deal and shoot the men from behind, killing all but one who flees.
However, Johnny finds the lone man and makes a deal with him. Johnny gives him the Ears and Left Arm for a half-empty bottle of wine. Crying, Johnny tells him to go away. Suspicious at first, the man accepts the deal and leaves. During the exchange, he witnesses a map on the snow created by the Saint's Corpse and sees the location of the next Corpse Part. The remaining man returns to Valentine with the Corpse Parts and informs him of what he knows.[3]
